largest portion Of our supplies come give for
inferior to fair browns IL to IA rails per
arrObe. An invoice of sugar purchased there
at IL rails, the price of inferior browns, will
pay a duty in this country amounting to
very nearly two and quarter cents per
pound, while on good browns, which are
quoted at l6 rails, it will amount to more than
two and three-quarter cents per pound. We
have not space to give our slow contemporary all
the figures here, but if it wishes it we will send
them to it in note or it can apply to some of
it's South street friends. The Journal admits that
the production of sugar is less than the con-
sumption, and that the consumer has to pay all
the cost of production and subsequent charges on
it. That is precisely the point we assumed. We
hope our statistical friend will look little closer
o it's figures another time, for really we cannot
always undertake to post up our commercial
ourpals upon matters that they should be sup
posed to understand.

NEw PHASE OF THE CUBAN SLAVE TRADE
We publish today a very curious plan for
civilizing Africa and supplying Cuba with
laborers which has been proposed to the Spanish
government by Senior Meana. in Havana Our
correspondents in that city inform ms that this
plan is rapidly growing in official favor there:
but We learn from other quarters that the native
Cubans in the Board Of Improvements OF Havana
are strongly opposed to it, on the ground that II
il nothing more than legal revival of the slave
trade, and will tend still further 20 increase the
numerical preponderance Of the negroes, aud in
volve a great future danger for society in Cuba
The plan is simply an ofishoot of The old aboli.
ZIONIST measure Of replacing negro slaves with
Indian coolies. which has since rclapsed into the
present profitable practice of importing Chinese
apprentices to the sugar growing fields Of the
tropics.
Senior Meana's plan is combined with great
skill, and would eflectually displace the slave
trade on the coast Of Africa, if adopted. The
island Of Fernando 20 is situated in the Gulf of
Guinea, about thirty miles from old Calabar- the
great scat of the slave trade in former times
Calabar is one Of the many mouths Of the river
Niger, and possesses many advantages for keep
ing up the supply Of voluntary apprentice after
all the inhabitants Of Fernando Po shall have
been transported. This plan is now under con
sideration by the Spanish government and it is
argued that its adoption will materially reduce
the price Of negroes in Cuba,

THE WASHINGTON LOBBY ORGANS AND THE
HEEALp.--The Washington Union and its attend
ing little Sancho, the EceHiRg .Stor publish the
filthy personalities Of Thurlow Weeds Albany
Journal against the editor Of the NEW YORK
HERALD with undisguised satisfaction. Birds
Of a feather" they " flock together" The Al
bany man and his Washington echoes are but CO
laborers in the same general lobby business of
plucking the public goose The Washington
Union and its little tender. the Star, subsist
upon public plumber. The idea with them OF pub
lthing a newspaper for the reading community IL
but pretence. As there are lobby agents 10
the House proiessedly newspaper reporters, 20
these Washington newspapers are but the conve-
nient gab Of lobby jobbers and spolsmen for
reaching the public plumber. The Union is but a
lobby organ the Star is but lobby satellite, and
quite natural that hey should join in the snap
ping and barking Of the big chaps of the lobby
against the audacous intruder who walks ia
among them and lays about him, right and left
like policeman at an Irish wake.
This lobby plunderng in the winter society at
Washington, we must also remember, il looked
upon as highly respectable business, from the
immense number of eminent outside ex-members
oiCongress. xpoliticians, ex-lawyers ex-parsons
and charming fast women engaged in IT, In adj
dition TO these. the Kitchen Cabinet takes hand
in the game very frequently, and on very big
figures; and We have been told hundred times
that the private Secretary of the President is an
active confederate among the stockholders, organ
grinders, gamblers. and others concerned in many
of the latest operations of the lobby. Where
thus the administration itself il tainted with the
conuptons Of the lobby, what else can we expect
from its toadies and organs. whether at Albany
or Washington, but their most spitcful and their
dlrtiest abuse. Never mind We hope yet to
get them before an investigating committee
which will reveal 10 the public the exact point
where the eboe pinches Let them look sharp,
for the country will have that committee.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1857-01-07

VINO ARE THE LOBBY AGENTS I've publish in
another column singular article from the Io,ca
State Gaaate, on the subject of the corruptions of
the lobby at Washington. The writer of this ar
ticle, on evidence which we are not favored
with, comes to the conclusion that Mr.. Horace
Greeley, Of the New York Tribune, became the
lobby agent of the Des Moines Navigation Com
psny during the last session of Congress, and re-
ceived for his services the sum of one thousand
dollars 1t is pretended that the facts have been
ELECTED by an Investigation into the affairs of the
Company, which is now being prosecuted
1t need hardly be added, that Mr.. Horace
Greeley has the same right to act as lobby agent,
and receive pay for bis services as any other in
dividual. Still, it may be questioned whether, if
MIR. Greeley were known as lobby agent, the
public would place the same reliance in letters
from Washington signed II. g." as they might
do were he merely known as the editor of the
Tribune. This, Of course, must have occurred to
Mr.. Greeley long since. We are therefore graft
fed to be able to afford him an opportunity of
denying and disproving the assertions which are
made by this obscure paper in Iowa.
