EXCITEMENT IN CUBA. The Presidents
Message created intense excitement at Havana,
and a war meeting was held at which loyal
petition to the Queen of Spain imploring her
not to sell Cuba was originated. tits reported
that the new Spanish officers had made over
lures to the French Government to intervene
to prevent any revolutionary movement on
the island-there being good reason to believe
that some such movement was on foot. This
is authenticated by private advices in New
Orleans. The people and a part of the army
are asserted to be ready for a revolution, but
are deferred from moving by the fear of inter-
vention on the part of European Powers.

MIR. E. Grover, of Jefferson county, met
his death in singular manner on the 22d
uls. Having taken his oxen from a sled
loaded with logs, hs attempted to guide it
down hill himself, but fell and was run
over by the sled, causing his death in about
fifteen minutes.
"A convention Of citizens of Story Co.
was held at Nevada, Dec. 25th, by whom
it was resolved to request the County Judge
to order special election upon the question
of issuing bonds to the amount of $lO, 900 to-
wards influencing the location Of the State
Agricultural College and Farm within the
limits Of that county.
WASHINGTON Co.-The citizens Of Clay
and Brighton townships held meeting on
the 25th ult., and resolved to resist the
cole ction of the railroad tax. A meeting
of all in the county opposed to the tax is
called at Washington on the 22d inst.-A
son of Geo. W. Thompson appeared on the
streets of Washington, intoxicated and dis
orderly, on New Years Day, wherefore his
father and two elder brothers smashed in
two dosgeries and spilled the vile stuff kept
for sale. They attacked third and would
have served it likewise but were prevented
The Press intimates that the proceedings of
the Thompsons was about right,
Miss Abigail Gardner, who was taken
by Inkpadutah's baud of Indians in the
winter of lS56-'57, now resides at Hampton,
in this State. 1t will be recollected that
the males of the party were killed, and that
the tour women were compelled to wade
through the deep snow for many weary
mile, bearing heavy burdens and being sub
jected to tho most horrible in1ignities at
their hands. Miss Gardner aDdsMrs. Mer-
bic were rescued, but the others fell victims
to the barbarity of their savage tornentors.
Her story, as told by herself, is interesting
and affecting in the extreme. She has since
been married, and is living in peace among
her friends.
"A fire in Dubuque, on the Sd inst, de-
stroyed the 'sBazaar" building and content'.
Loss about 1000, with $500 insurance.
The fire, it is supposed, was the work of an
incenGiary.
The total number of interments in the
grave yards of the city of Burlington, during
the year ending the S1st ult., was 16l.-
This small number is regarded as evidence
of a saubrious atmosphere in that town.
Rev. j. G. Holbrook, of Dubuque,
goes to San Francisco to supply the pulpit
of the First Congregational Church for six
months, in order to give the pastor an op-
portunity to visit the Eastern States.
The new State officers are now all at
their posts, having entered upon their du-
ties on Monday las. Mr.. Miller, Register
of the Land Office, arrived on Friday even
ing last, through much tribulation, by reason
of bad roads. We are glad to learn that the
whole Board of State Officers will probably
take up their residence in this city. The
Secretary. Auditor and Treasurer, have al
ready done so and our batchelor freind,
the Register, will find no difficulty in fol-
lowing suit, as he will not be under the

Mayor OF New York is stigatlng few ofthc
cases Of evident fraud the city trensurv,
though covered up by referees and cunning
officials. The State Of Ohio has been plundcrca
by succession Of oiticiu!s, the later offenders
c(,artably conccnling tile acts Of their rredeccs
sors while initiating them. In every depart
mcnt Of City and State government, instances
Of plundcring and pccu1ation-and whnt is the
ca.lse Of alt this. II il TO be found in tue pre-
railing feeling Of profound respect mainly and
Utmost only for tl,osr who are ostcutatious in
their expenditures, mud are or appear to BE- rich
To obtain this respect, men involve themselves
in debt and many in crime. Even where n sinl-
ulatcd respect is-sl,own for persons not spend
ing money r,rofusrly or literally, it is done in
tole aud manner Of condesccllsion and as an
effort Of charity or pity. This current or tide
Of feeling it ia difficult for the masses 10 stem

downward. The tendency TO fraud and crime

PRESIDENT MAKING.

A few Of our Republican contemporaries
have entered with great zeal and activity upon
President :making. 1t is a dangerous and
ttanklcss business, and the industrious gentle
men who have undertaken to anticipate the
decision Of tho party will have occasion to
learn, before their jobs are accomplished, that
their schemes are more perfect in conception
than practicable in execution. The day for
tho nomination Of the Republican candidato
has not yet arrived; and nothing but haFl''-
harm to the Republican cause and harm to tho
candidates uaceromonjousy thrust forward
can come out Of the eprcu1atnrc discussion Of tic
Presidential question. 4 session Of Congress
will intervene between the present and the d;y
Of tic meeting Of the nominating convention !;
and during 1llat session many new combinations
which will materially alter tho aspect Of NJ
fairs, will undoubtedly take place. We beg
the friends ol the very respectable gentlemen
who have been nominated i'll tic newspapers.
TO hold their hands. Tho hour and tic man
will come together. Let them wait i'll peace

tion organization in vogue there since 1910,
has afforded special facilities for operations
of this sort. Last fall, desperate effort hasln;
been determined ou to secure the return Of one

The principal fraud appears to have been per.
petrated in Hancock plantation. One hundr:d
