FIRST lNsTAIMENT OF THE HATCH CONFESSIONS
AND ExPosuREs.-The cold term being over, and
the people down East being duly thawed out,
the HERALD has penetrated as far as the fast
nesses of the county of Coos, in the State of New
Hampshire, and the deserted spiritual philoso-
pher, Doctor Hatch, has emitted the first of
series of letters upon the delusion of which he
was lately prominent supporter. We print the
Doctors letter as he wrote it, with single
omission, which is designated by astcrisks. In
the omitted paragraph the Doctor refers to Mrs
Hatch in very complimentary terms. 1t has
seemed to us superhuous to publish disclaimer
Of any intention to libel person whose charac-
ter is clear enough, so far as we know. No such
matter would be printed in our columns, and the

from facing the music, the initiative movements
on the chessboard for the succession will fall into
the hands of the opposition; and who Can say that
between the anti-slavery policy of the New York
republicans, the protective tariff policy of all the
elements of the Pennsylvania opposition camp,
and the conservative old line whig policy of the
opposition elements of the South there will
not be final compromise upon some such ma
tional conservative and unobjectionable man, in
all quarters, as Gen. Scott, and victory in 1860
as decisive as that of 1910?
From the democratic camp and the republican
camp there is now vast amount OF loose ma
terials among the voters of the country, which
may be fused into the democratic party upon
the Cuba movement, but which, in default Of
some such popular experiment, may fall into the
opposition lines Looking at the hst Pennsyl-

mocracy upon the tariff question il Congress

ton. Worst Of all, we cannot understand how

The NEWS FROM CUBA.-It will be seen by our
advices from Cuba to-day that a large number
of representations from the municipalities and
other corporate bodies in that island, opposing
the idea of selling it to the United States, have
been sent to Spain. The sources from whence
these manifestations foY are all, to greater or
less extent, of an official character. Little sue
cess seems to have attended the effort to get up
long lists of popular signatures We have re-
ceived large number of letters from Cubans on
the subject; but the crowded state of our
columns, and the necessity of translating them
all from the Spanish, preclude our publishing
them to-day. The question of purchase initiated
by the President had created the greatest sensa-
ton among the natives of the island, and even
the Spanish residents were apathetic in their OPP
position to the suggestion.
The official gazette of Havana publishes long
revelation in regard to the bogus revolution of
Reneau, which we give elsewhere, with the CON-
ments of the Diario de la Marina

A WEAK SPAsM OF ECONOMY IN CONGRESS-
The diplomatic and consular bill being up for
consideration in the House of Representatives,
the other day, motion made by Mr.. Lovejoy,
republican) of1llinois, to abolish all our diplo-
matte establishments abroad, except that at Mad
rid, was defeated by only twelve majority. On
motion of Mr.. Garnet, (dem.) of Va, the mis-
sion to Rome was stricken out, on the plea that
neither France nor England has Minister at the
Court Of the Holy Father, and that the exports
of Rome are "limited to essential oils and rags"
On motion of Mr.. Curry, (opp) of Indiana, the
mission to Switzerland and that of Persia were
stricken out. How many more of our diplo-
mats in Europe, Asia and America are des-
tined to have their heads chopped by the
General Committee of the House we don't know;
but as the Treasury is very short, and as the de-
mands upon it are very heavy, we should not be
surprised if this diplomatic bill were to 90 over
to the Senate pruned down to the missions to
England, France, SPAIN Russia, Mexico and
Brazil. This pruning process would, perhaps,
cover saving of a quarter of million; but
the effect in Europe would certainly be very
suggestive of a government hard up for pin
money while negotiating for the purchase of
islands and continents
Next, it appears that Mr. Cobb has devised
plan for saving yearly million OF so, by the
abolition OF useless and expensive custom
houses, &c. which is a sensible movement; but
this is only drop in the bucket We have an
immense country to provide for; the machinery of
its general government is necessarily extensive,
complex and costly. Beyond certain standard
of reduction, retrenchment would be ruinous; and
it is the business Of Congress- therefore, while cut
ting off all useless excrescences to provide the
ways and means to meet deficiencies, and pay
bills from which there is no escape. Loans,
bonds and treasury notes may answer for today:
but all these devices for borrowing rest upon the
supposition of day of repayment; and unless
that day shall be provided for, this lazy pro.
cess of borrowing and borrowing, from one year
to another, may fail to command lenders.
Thus we are sorry to see the House wasting
its time upon sixpenny retrenchments when the
great necessity is the salvation of the treasury
from bankruptcy. Cuba will pay splendid
yearly dividend, If acquired; and if not, the ex-
pertinent projected need not cost much But
apart from Cuba, the great question is an empty
treasury and bill of costs of 5O0O,0 600 for the
fiscal year. If the two houses of Congress do
not very soon get special message upon this
matter, we are very much mistaken.
