Government Eisb-NnWks and PeIi-


Mr.. BmGHT, the great reform leader in
England, appears to take every occasion to
say something cutting and pungcnt about the
existing condition of national affairs in Great
Britain. He addressed an asscmhlage in
Glasgow. not long since, aud made the sub
lures ia that country. 1t sounds as ii il was
intended as much to apply to this country as
that We certainly have the Fish Hawks and
Pelicans in very clouds-the hawks especial
ly Mr.. BRIGHT said
ave are so pleased that we can move about
without passports, and speak, WRITE and act
as freely rs free man requires TO dove
are so delighted with all this, that We are un-
conscious Of the fact, that our rulers extract
from the industry of the people far larger
amount than any other Government does, or
ever did, from an equal number of people.
DR.. Livingstone the African traveller. gives
in his most Interesting and charming book,
many anecdotes OF various creatures which
he saw and heard of during his travels. He
describes i'm one place, rem .mber. bird,
which he calls the dull. stupid bird. kind of
pelican. which occupies itself with its own
affairs ON the river side. This pelican watch
es the fish, aud when il has secured them, il
puts them into II pouch or purse. under its
bill instead of the ordinary accommodation
which anglers have in Scotland for their
prizes.
DR. Livingston further tells us ~ another
bird which J. neither dull nor stupid b. calls
il the fish hawk. This hawk hov,rs over the
pelican. aud waiting patiently until the latter
has secured the fish. he comes duwn, by and
Ly upon the pelican, with aswoop. and takes
the fish from the purse. and away IL goss,
leaving the pelican perfectly delighted that
the hawk had not taken him bOdlly away.

can apply this anecdote 10 your own case

french west indian poliey.

The last European news. as conveyed by
telegraph. represents the French Government
as much exercised in regard to the position
assumed by our President in reference to Cuba.
1t is stated quite automatically that France
will not allow the transfer of the Island, and
that she will be supported in this course by
Great Britain.
This is merely the idle surmise of the qnid-
nuncs and of the Partisan journals, which, so
far from being authorized to speak for the
Government of France, do not, in fact, exer-
else the slightest influence over its conduct
and policy. Assuming it to be true. we &C
cept such threats and intimations addition
al arguments for our prompt action on this
subject.
France has two objects. nf great Importance
to her. in opposing the acquisition of Cuba
by the United STATS. They are:
First, to promote the scheme of Introducing
African apprentices. so az to redeem her
wasted and impoverished colonies. This can
be done by suppressing all other slave trade
but that which she sanctions and pursues.
Reiis & Co. have contract from the French
Government to introduce their new kind OF
slaves, dishonesty called apprentices, and
they are prosecuting their business very
briskly, bringing in the apprentices at the
cheap rate of one hundred dollars per head
Their contract would not he a very valuable
one. in case the United States should acquire
the island of Cuba.
Secondly: France is alarmed at the idea Of
cane sugar becoming more abundant and
cheaper, as She has a large home interest in
the culture OF the beet land the manufacture Of
sugar therefrom.
But whatever be her motive. we hardly i'm
agine that the United States will he much af
feeted, in the pursuit of her own interests and
policy, by any regard for the threats or for
the policy Of France. Warned hv the ex-
ampleS Of her misgovernment. folly. wrong
and Injustice which her own unfortune
Islands now present. our Government and
people will not again consent to stand idly
looking on. whilst the only productive and
valuable island now left of the once magnifi-
cont chain of rich colonies known as the
West Indies. is reduced to level with the
desolate islands upon which European policy
and selfshness- have inflicted SO terrible a
blight.
The AfricanzatiOn ofCuba, now the avow-
ed ann and policy of France and Great Britain
will be resisted by the United States, if not
by the whole. AT least by that portion of the
Republic whose very existence would be
endangered by such scheme of barbarism
unto the bitter end.-N o. Delta.

The Federal Exencouer.

The Washington Correspondent, of the
in his Baltimore American letter Of the 10Th
speaks of the probablrwants of the gov
eminent treasury for thecurrent fiscal year
as follows;
''From a careful investigation Of the con-
dition of the Treasury, it is believed that
thirty-two millions of loan will be required
to carry the Government though the current
fiscal year. Including the redemption of trea-
snry notes due and falling due. The chairman
of the WAYS and Means thinks a less sum will
answer predicating his opinion upon the belief
that the Treasury notes originally issued at
three per cent. intPrestand re-issued at five
per cent. will he held for investment. and
thus postpone any necessity for redemption
before the interest stops. While this expecta-
ton may be authorized by the present con-
dition Of things, it hardly jnstifes al
omission on the part of Congaess to
provide for a contingency which ought to be
anticipated. Mr.. Cobb's estimate for a nomi-
nal balance next July. neglected to include a
d fciency of three and half millions in the
post office, to which he referred in the body of
his report, and for which provision must of
course be made"

Copper Orein nuckto,rn

A correspondent of the Ducktown Elgle
gives the following account of the copper
mines in that vicinity:
Operations have for years been carried on
at different mines in DuckIown; shafts have
been sunk 10 great depth (near 800 feeO to
find the yellow ores, but with no definite sue
cess. until within few DAYS past, when it
was found in great abundance on what is
called the East Tennessee property in the
northern part of Ducktown. This is Justly
regarded as the greatest discovery over made
in Ducktown, for it establishes the fact that
the yellow ores do exist in continuous veins
through the whole district. A new feeling
animates not only the property holders: but
all who have an abiding place in Ducktown
are now in better hopes aud feelings than
ever heretofore. This cannot, however, be
regarded as mere excitement. Ii is the con-
clusion of the mind. from satisfactory evil
dence, that "there is "A better time coming"
