SIGNS OF REVOLUTION IN CUBA.--We have for
some time been aware that movements were
going on among the people of Cuba having
ultimately in view revolution in that island:
and fact detailed in our correspondence from
Havana, published yesterday, goes to show
that the Spanish government there ia i'm
pressed with the same idea The recent arrest of
Don Miguel Embil, wealthy banker, indicates
an intense sensitiveness on the part Of the
Spanish officials There is no reason to suppose
that Mr.. Embil has any connection whatever
with the movements to which we refer; but the
fact that he entertained the opinion that the
course Of the government in Cuba is oppressive
and ruinous, and that he dared to express his
opinions In arespectful memorial to the govern
ment, is considered sufficient ground to hold
him as dangerous character In this proceed
ing the government of Cuba is only giving
wider currency to the opinions expressed by
Mr.. Embil, and comforting upon him q higher
character as representative man of the liberal
opinions In Cuba. The calm that seems to pre-
vail in the political atmosphere of that island ia
treacherous In the extreme. 1t may result in a
tempest or tornado that will do much harm
to all and good to no one. But If the elements
that are gathering there are managed with pru-
dence and discretion, beneficial change will
take place at an early day. The period of
SPANS dominion in Cuba is rapidly drawing to
n ClOsp.

Practical REFoRxs.-Since his elevation 10
Office, Mayor Tlemann has devoted his attention
more or less to different kinds Of reform, and
with some success The suppression of lottery
policy institutions, mock auctions and gambling
houses, is all very well in its way; but II is not
after oil the most useful kind Of reform, consid-
ering the way the finances Of the city are dis
posed OF and the taxes increased. We are glad
TO perceive that Mr.. Tiemann Is now turning bis
attention to that important subject At the last
meeting of the Board of Aldermen be sent in
some vetoes which will have practical effect
In cutting down the expenses In two or three
instances he refused TO sanction the committing
OF taxes of different amounts where such COM
mutation was not strictly In accordance with
the letter Of the law. He also vetoed resolu-
ton Of the Board authorizing the purchase of
land on Wards Island not already owned by
the Corporation, at exorbihnt prices; the whole
sum which was 70 be paid for the uplands, roads,
and lands under water being nine thousand dol
lars more than IL was valued at by the arhtra-
tors. II is by nipping such jobs as this in the
bud that real substantial reforms are effected,
and II the Mayor continues to exercise his au-
tbority In this fashion the city may be saved o
good round sum In the year.

IHH SHIPwRECxED JAPAN 'sE IN sam FRAN
CISC0-CHAECE FOR FURTHER INTERCOURSE WITH
JAPAN.-A British vessel-the G. ribbean-on Q
late trip from China to San Fra uoisco fell IN
with Japanese junk that had b.,ea drifting
about for five months, the sport of the waves,
having on board twelve native salons, rescued
them from their perilous position, and oouveyed
them to San Francisco, where they were at our
latest dates from thence. The commander Of
the revenue cutter there manifested o verv
praiseworthy solicitude to have the shipwreoked
Japanese committed to his charge, but the osp-
tain of the Caribbean seemed rather inclined to
keep them till he would fall in with BritisA
man-ofwar, when he would surrender them to
his own government. 1t had not, however,
been finally decided what should be done with
them in that respect.
Apart from all feeling of humanity In the
matter, there exist strong political reasons why
our government should interest itself in the
custody Of these Japanese. The sending them
back to their own country weuld afford good
opportunity Of improving on our present rela-
tons with japan, and of convincing is iealous
government that 1t is for the advantage of that
people to open commercial relations with us.
1t was by like act of humanity that we OBJ
tanned the little foothold we have already rot
there; and this repetition of such an act might
procure us still further favor and advantages.
The citizens of San Francisco have petitioneA
the President to take this step, and we have no
doubt that if the Japanese are left in charge Of
officers Of the United States, the governme emit
will evince cheerful alacrity in complying
with the prayer of this pc tition.
Our correspondent at that port makes the
very sensible suggestion that Joseph Heco the
Japanese who has been in this country for two
or three years, who is quite intelligent and who
writes and speaks the English language with
much correctness, should be sent out with them.
1t 30 happens, too, that Heco left New York on
the Gath ultimo for San Francisco, to accomps-
ny the surveying expedition, commanded By
Capt. Brooks, which is to be fitted out there to
take soundings and make charts in the Japan
seas. he will have reached San Francisco soon
after the arrival of his wrecked countrymea,
and can be made very useful in imparting to
them bis experience of this country. We trust
that, If they have been delivered over to our
charge, the administration will take prompt
measures to have them restored TO their coun-
try, in such a way and with such assurances to
the government as to make the incident availa-
BILE towards the enlargement of our relations
with that jealous people.

STEAMBOAT on WEAVER CREEK.-A large sized
steamboat was discovered on Weaver Creek last
Wednesday, On Sunday stranger stopped at
Todd S Ranch, and having purchased melon,
on credit, desired to know the sum for which the
ranch would be sold. The Madame told him that
part would be sold for $4,000 and all for S1l.O00.
The man thought it cheap, and forthwith agreed
to take the $4,000 part, agreeing 10 pay the cash
next day, and adding that family for whom he
intended the property would be up directly.
Meantime the purchaser came to Weaverville,
represented that he had purchased Todd's Ranch,
and that the papers Of transfer were in prepara-
tion obtained a wagon-load of groceries, 500
feet of lead pipe, and other articles for the mme-
diate Improvement of his property, ordered so
mattresses to be made, and a number Of French
bcdsteads. The family arrived and so did the
groceries,; things began to look business like, and
Madame Todd's doubts of the fellows honesty
diminished little. He then requested Mr.. and
Mrs. Todd to come to Weavervle to prepare the
documents of sale, to which they at first objected,
but finally assented, and came up on Wednesday
morning. Meeting the purchaser, they were
ready to execute the deed on payment Of the
monry-he having concluded to take the whole
property at $ll 900 He would go back to the
Ranch and get the money and hiring a horse and
borrowing saddle bags, started. In due time the
purchaser came back bending under the huge
weight of the saddle bags and so went up street
toward the Court House where the payment was

The family for whom he was purchasing say
that they fell in with him this side Of Shasta, and
further than that they know nothing Of him, and
that he stated to them that he had property in
Weaver which they might occupy. The presump-
tion is that the man is a thief, and took this way
getting the Todd family away from home that he
might search the apartments, but the Madame
had removed her valuables and locked the door
before coming to town. His conduct looks more

IMMoLATED TO A GoD OF HEIL.-Senator Fer
guson is dead of wounds inflicted in duel with
George Penn Johnston. He was one of the most
brilliant young men Of this commonwealth and
author of the most stringent anti-dueling law
on any of the statute books. man whose in
born principles forbade continuing the inhuman
practices of'less enlightened ages, and whose
personal courage enabled him TO stand firmly to
be four times shot at, at a numbering distance,
and even to jest at the appalling certainty of be-
ing shot, had not the moral courage to exempli-
fy the precepts originated by himself, and hurried
to enactment by his own eloquence. The fault
was not his, it was that of community. Too much
must not be expected Of individuals. Nor is it
just to declare him a moral coward, because he
will not brave the sneers Of his associates, and
stand in single and unsupported antagonism to
an act which legally criminal, is nevertheless
sanctioned by the practices Of false chivalry
and the approving smiles Of women schooled to
admiration Of brave men. Until the duelist is
driven out from among men, like homicide Cain,
and until women shrink from his touch, as though
inelfacable murder stains were on his hands, NOR
aiss will preach in vain, and the best talent and
genius of our country will continue exposed to
assassination by any worthless person whose pub
lie behavior entities him to the name of gentle
man, and who has sense enough 10 fire deadly
weapon with ordinary skill. Ferguson did not
know how to use pistol, and with a skillfu an
tagonist would have been shot through the head
at the first word. Yet had Ferguson refused un
equal chances, men and women are not wanting
who would have questioned his courage and
manhood-and those men and women are found
in what is called society," the former in honorable
official place, and the latter in the sacred circle
of citizens homes.
capital penalty would not prevent this crime
until acclimaton Of community shall have made
it Infamous. Men of acknowledged courage must
exemplify the laws precept, and their wives and
daughters must Danish the law breaker from their
firesides, as they would the hero of the prize
ring. This sentiment is most difficult of accom-
pishment in border country where indi vduals
have, there aud elsewhere, been accustomed to
settle personal grievances by the arbitrament Of
battle. Public opinion must expel the man-slay-
er the society of, and sanctuary Of the good citi-
zen's house, he must be regarded as a feon, shun-
ned as shedder Of human blood, and be made
to feel that the corroding curse of murder is up
on him, before the duel will pass among other
absurdties Of ages forcgone.
