bNe pace the slave.i.ade side by side wit.
Slavery because it I. potorious that the slave cu.
tivation of Cuba canuo! go on except with thu
shve-trace a. an auxiliary. The slave population
OF Cuba Ii very far from bsiDg able to keep
| up its bumbels BY its own increa.e There is q
yearly consumption of slaves 70 the extent Of from
| three to five per cent Of the entire stock, and
-: Spanish Cove rnloei is i1cli.ed to carry out
it's treaty Obligations with Eosland for the sup
presscn Of the slave trade then 1t becomes neces-
shry alsO to provide for the abolition OF Slavery.
To allow Slavery to continue could OILY result IN
dimiLution Of the labOrirg population, of which the
effects would soon be serousyf felt. For 80 long as
Slavery continues, its continuance must constitute
great obstacle to any supply Of free labor by in
migration from abroad.
From the position which Cubl holds in relation
TO the supply Of sugar she will be able to throw
upen the shoulders Of the consumers the burden, if
any, of diminished product. Suppose it shouli
be the consequence of the abolition of Slavery con-
siderably TO reduce the suger crop for sorc years
to come; suppose diminuton even to the extent
OF third or half. The result would inevitably

the planters for their diminished crop. But if We
paid deaIer for our sugar, We might find compen'
sation by an inCreased demand on the part Of the
aberiDg population for many articles Of ours as has
happened in the Of our trade with the British
West Indies.
But il in economical considerations alone the
Spanish Government might find ample grounds on
which to base the abolition Of Slavery, there are
political reasons still stronger in favor CT taking
that step. The abolition OF Slavery is theoAy sure
and eftctus means 81 securing Cuba to the Spanish
Government and to the Spanish race. 1t VIII put
stop at once and forever to all the projects go rife
in the Southern States and understood to be warmly
entertained BY, Mr.. Bocbanan and his Cabinet
for tire annexation 81 Cuba to this Union
Cuba is coveted only in It's character of Slave
Territory. Clba free would be rejected With
horror and indignation by the very parties whcrew
look to her with such longing eyes.

Mayor Tiemann has temporarily removed D5v.,n
from Office, and asks the Aldermen to concur in re-
moving him altogether. The matter was referred
to q special committee. Devlir; with the modesty
characteristic of Gan honest nan" suffering from

sending in note in which he wines about the per-
secutoDs os his enemies, adding that be had 'pro'

shall not show good cause for his removal and

day to force the Mayor to give up the keys, and got
an order of Court demanding them ;; but the Mayor
teld the messenger that Devlin was removed, and

ty of entering legally upon it.

Among the latest telegraphic accounts from the
Continent brought by the last English mail Is one
from Madrid, Of March %, to the effect that
1.-THE Government has presented project of law
for the abolition of Slavery in the Spanish colo
"pes." The colonies referred to in this dispatch
can be 10 other than those of Cuba and Porto
Rico, all that remsins TO Spain, with the exception
Of the Philippines, of the vast colonial empire
which she once possessed and the only part OF the
Spanish possessions in which Slavery exists.
That a movement should at last have been made
by Spain in this direction is'by no means surpris
ING. These two spanish islands, Cuba and Porto
Rico, are the only part of the West ludes, and we
may add, the only part Of Spanish America, in
which Slavery has not already been abolished. But
beside the general impulse of civzat on and Chris
tianity in favor Of free labor which has produced
not merely the abolition of negro Slavery oSer so
large part of America, but has been felt no less
remarkably in the abolition of serfdom in Eastern
European operation now in progress in Russia
and destined TO add vastly to the industrial develop
nent ard political importance of that empre-be-
side the involuntary participation OF the Spanish
nation and government in this general movement in
the direction of Freedom, there are strong reasons
bearing with special force upon the particular case
of these Two Spanish colonies.
In spite of all the jeremlads over the ruin cau'ed
by the abolition of Slavery, II has been abundantly
proved by the results Of these experiments even
thus far, that tropical cultivation can DO carried on
by free labor and carried, too, BY means Of it, TO
degree Of productiveness which, under the slave
system, was never attained. This fact OF the supe
riority of free labor rests not merely on the cases
of Nautilus and the Isle of Bourbon, which have
been favored with a large supply of immigrants
from the East Indies; it is equally supported by
the case Of Barbados, which without immigrants,
BY the mere employment Of the laborers BORN upon
TIE lslard, now produces double the crop of sugar
which II ever did in the time Of Slavery. That
sugar aud all other tropical products can be raised
oy lree labor, is fully established The advocats,
"i slavery are reduced to the allegation that they
cannot be raised so cheaply by free labor
as by slave labor. But even admitting this to be
the case. Why should the Spanish Government and
the planters and people of Cubs be subjected TO all
the dsgrsces and evils growing out of Slavery and
| The slsve-trade, merely TO enable the people Of
Europe 10 buy their sugar little cheaper We

As to the alleged instability os he paslc affairs
of Venezues, there has been in tLat country since
1881 down TO the late revolution, period of a
quarter of a century OF more, only one change of
policy, and We may osy only one change OF rulers;
for though the Presd sncy has passed Of late years

We copy elsewhere an article from The London

appointment of Marshal Pelisser as French Embls-
sador to EDglsnd. The truth Of the matter is,
however, much better stated by eur London cor
respondent, who is under no constraint which
cannot be said Of Tie Times. The fact is that
Pessier is highly unpalatable ambassador, and
not at all calculated to render the alliance more

The Dutch, az is yyeu known, neyos. in their days
of commercial and military glory, both of which

ceedinps in this line of Msssrs. Russell & Wsd
dell, the g.eat Border RuGtsn Government con-
tractors Cor Transporting ths supplies of the Utah
army. This correspondent states that in examin
ing the wagons packed by their agent at Fort
Bridger, there were found in one Of the interior
ones, thousand pounds Of powder and other mer
cbandise, directed to an agent Of the Mormon
Church No wonder the cost of the Utah expedi-
ton runs up at such aiapd rate. II is pretty Sc
rious affair, at least for the United States Treasury
transporting for one side only, at the prices paid
to these favored contractors. The correspondent
whom We quote is inclined to hope that this supply
ing of the MornOns with powder is private trans.
action of the agent Of Messrs. Rusaell Il Wad.
dell, and that they were not personally cOgnizant Of
il. This ia doubtless matter Of some interest, az
between Messrs. Russell & Waddel and their

ference whether they be baDboozeld At first or
