mental instructions leqar6.g the Cuban officers TO dis
eriminate against citizens; and il is perfectly
lair 60 infer thai our grievances attach az ence and d-
recy to Che Queens own management We make
these observations with the sole view Of bringing be-
fore Congress aud the country the exact nature Of
relations with Spain. We have sought redress and
been put of with infinite from time to time.
Ready to commit wrong and TO nhict damages, they
are never ready to do right, They have again and
again violated their own laws to do our people in
jury bnt they never willing to prove their in
tegriy by disaSowng the acts Of their officials and
satisfying the claims of injured parties They talk
of the pride of their Kingdom OF its past gores and
its present fame, aud proclaim everywhere that the
power and the integrity of the Crown demand of
them thai they shall hold Cuba, at whatever cost.
Meanwhile their creditors are starving their treasu-
ryis impoverished, and their government prey to
contending factions aud ambitious and mereenary
politicians
Mr.. Davis proposes under all the circumstances,
that the federal government shall notify Spain and
demand payment OF certain indebtedness, and, in de
fault thereof that attachment issue with directions
to naval constabes 10 seize the Island of Cuba,
In equity Mr.. Davis is right. Spain has justly for
feited all claim to the forbearance of the United
States. The Island has been governed for twenty
years on tho idea that England and France would
not consent to its falling into our hands. 1t has been
regarded perfectly safe TO treat people as
barbarians and pirates; to arrest them, coniiscate
their property and, even when pronounced innocent
IN criminal prosecutions, TO refuse not only to re-
turn their estates, but make them pay enormous
costs. The whole judicial system Of Cuba is in the
hands or under the control of the Governor General
This is not the theory of the government but is ts
practice; that all authority, wherever aud by
whomsoever exercised, is unit.

KANSAS AND GOLD MINES.

We give in another column from highly respect
able source, an interesting letter on the subject OF
the Kansas or Pixies Peak gold mines The proba-
bilities are, inieed all on the side of an abundant
supply Of the precious metals to the east of the
mountains. Enough has been published TO insure
the mnntest survey of the country The spring will
open upon large operating force already on the
ground said to be fifteen hundred persons. Lcaven-
worth city, and indeed the Territories of Kansas
and Nebraska thus likely to be brought into ex-
traordinary prominence, and to command their share
of emigration, and perhaps be the scene of one of
those commoons which the United States alone are
capable Of getting up. We convinced that the
reports circulated about abundant supplies" of gold
in the west of Kansas are founded in truth
