FROM CUBA. particu-
lars regarding the recent revolution
airy outbreak in Cuba and the cargo
OF Africans captured off the coast of
the island, have been received by the
steamer Corsica, which left Havana
some hours after the departure of
the Moro Castle, on the 10th instant,
and arrived here yesterday. The re-
publican demonstration appears to
have been q movement of little con-
sequence politically. Of the captured
Africans, numbering in all, it is said,
1900, 700 had been landed at San
antonio, ~ soldSto a. prominent
planter, !YBRe rate Of $225 each. In
con9Set5H with the privilege re-
Gently granted by the State of Flori-
da to an American company to land
and extend telegraphic cables from
the Florida coast to Cuba, it is stated
that the exclusive right to land tele-
graphic cables on the Cuban coast
was conceded to aSpanish company
by decree issued in Madrid, in
June, 1866. One of the Havana dai-
lies, in discussing the subject of pub
hc education, gives a striking con-
trast between the free schools of
Cuba and those of New York. A
joint stock company was being or
ganized at Havana, for the purpose
OF erecting building consisting OF
four stories, the first of which is to
be devoted to stores, the second to a
Cuban atheneum, the third to the
atre, and the fourth to a hotel.

EAE SEA Is1ANps-THE GRANTS OF

YHE SEA IsLANDs-THE GRANTS OF
L&ND USELESS TO THE NEGROES.
Gu. Howard has received report
iE5m Brig. Gen. Tillson, Superinten-
dent of the Bureau for the State of
Georgia, who has recently visited the
sea islands. He states that all the
questions in dispute between the freed
people on the islands and the former
white residents are now amicably set
tied tied. Those having grants of land
have had them consolidated on one
part of the estate upon which they
were given, as directed in Especial
Field Order No. g." In addition to
!. these satisfactory results, saving of
from six to eight thousand rations
per month to the Government has
been effected. The Assistant Com
missioner fears that, owing to the
want of impliments, seeds, animals
and food, the freedmen having
grants of land will fail in raising a
fair crop. There are scarcely ten
families Of freed people on the sea
islands whose grants OF land are of
hny value whatever. Land is abun-
liant enough, but labor is scarce, and
commands very high price; and he
thinks the freedmen would find it
puch more to their advantage to go
work for wages than to attempt to
ultivate land for themselves with
Inadequate means. The commissioner
fully convinced, from personal ex-
hination, that the question over
hich there has been SO much dis
hte, as to whether or not the freed
Zen shall retain their lands for few
years, has ceased from the cheapness
of land and the scarcity of labor, to
be of the slightest consequence to
them. He says that the real want in
that State is sufficient military force
to insure the prompt arrest of crimi-
nails, and such an organization of the
United States courts as shall enable
the people, white and black, to stand
on an equality before the law, and to
obtain justice

Emigration from Europe is increas-

The seventy-two constitutional
amendments which have been intro
dnced into Congress by the radicals
having failed to produce harmony
and concord, their advocates have
lately held a caucus, and instructed q
committee ''to reporta constitutional
amendment which will be acceptable
to everybody" This is, we are
ashamed to say, very poor American
attempt to initiate o distinguished
English statesman, MI. Tittlebat
1itmouse. That gentleman solemnly
promised that, if elected to Parlia-
ment, he would introduce a bill for
gicing ecerydody eoe,.ythiaag Senator
Wilson had Titmouse's famous bill in

GREENvLnE AND COLUMBIA RAIL-
RoAD.-We are authorized to state
that the system Of return tickets has
gone into operation on this road
again. This arrangement will be
gratifying to the local patrons of the
road.
An unpleasant rumor has been pre-
vailing for few days, that the mill
tary authorities have impressed the
road for the purpose of carrying off
Government cotton. We believe that
there is some truth in the rumor, at
least to this extent-the freight cars
have been appropriated by the mill
tary to take the cotton down the road; !;
but it is hoped that this will not
interfere materially with the trans
portation of the spring stocks of
goods which our merchants have
recently bought, and which are now
arriving daily.-Abbeoine Banner.

Coroner Whiting, on the arrival of
the steamer Pilot Boy, yesterday
morning, with the body of Miss
Bush, at once empanelled a jury and
commenced an Inquest. Some three
or four witnesses were examined,
when further investigation was post
poned until o'clock this afternoon,
at which time all the surviving passen-
gers, officers and crew, are summoned
to appear at his Office, in Law
Range, No. 90 Broad street. We ap-
pend the dispositions taken:
Captain Thos. r.. Payne, of the
steamer Pilot Boy, deposed, that he
left the city about s o'clock, Wednes-
day morning, bound to Georgetown
with number of passengers, and
loaded with freight. The steamer
General Hooker left about ten minutes
afterwards. When about two miles
past Beach Inlet he discovered smoke
issuing from the General Hooker, and
believing some accident had occurred,
steamed back to her assistance. The
General Hooker was discovered to be
On fire, and the Pilot Boy was brought
as close as possible to the burning
vessel. She was then enveloped in
flames. Deponent lowered his boats,
and succeeded in saving some ten
or twelve passengers and seamen.
Among the number, we're three ladies
and the deceased, who was not dead
when taken on board. The General
Hooker was an opposition boat on
the same line. Deponent is of the
opinion that the General Hooker was

The London Times on the Negro

The London Times, in dilating on the
subject of negro suffrage in the United
States, says:
"Why cannot negro be declared a
citizen and invested with the rights of
a mani The real answer is that he is
not citizen, and cannot be made Il cit
izen by a proclamation or n law. We
have unfortunately had little expert
ence of our own in this matter. We
gave the Jamaica negro, i'll common
with his white master, civil equality
and the right of self-government, and
see how it has ended. All the negroes

rection. He is careless, credul0us and
dependent; easily excited, easily duped,
easily frightened; always the ready vic
tim of the stronger will. He is matcri-
al for the hands of anybody who wishes
to make use of him. Invested with full
political rights, the race must be a mag
azine of mischief. In jamaica ii APP
pears that the negroes would imbibc, at
days notice. any absurd deluSion rs
to the authority and wishes of the Brit

body else; but what they were always
looking for was something To he given,
or something TO be done for them, or
some law to make them all rich, happy

men are not citizens, call them 50 as we
will.

General Grant in BaItimore-Judgs
BartoI's Decision.

BALTIMORE, Nov. l3.-Gen. Grant is
in town to attend the horse fair. He is
the guest of Judge Bond.
tits supposed that the new Commission
ers will at once enter upon their duties
and renew their demand upon the old
board for the surrender of police stations
&c. Messrs Young and Valiant, on enter
inn their office 4 few moments ago, were
loudly cheered by the crowd.
Whilst the decision of Judge Bartol
fully sustains the action of the Cover
nor and condemns that of the criminal
court is virtually granting an injunc-
ton against MessrS Young and Valiant,
by the order issued, and discharge them
from the custody III which they were
held in virtue of the commitment on
such order, the Judge decided that it
WAS competent for the Criminal Court
to entertain the charge alleged against
Young and Vallient of conspiracy to
break the peace by forcibly taking pos
session of the police stations and other
property held by Mcssrs Woods &
Kinds. Such charge was an indicta-
Bile offence, and upon that charge they
were properly held to bail.
Judge Bartol said he would issue an
order for the immediate discharge of
Sheriff Thompson, and in the case of
Mcssrs. Young and Valiant dis
charged them from custody under the
illegal order of Judge Bond retrlining
them from seeking to exercise the func-
tons of the Office rs Police Commission
ers, but as to the other charge of con-
spiracy 10 break the peace, he would
require them to enter their own recog-
nizances to answer the charge before
the proper court.

Judges The law was violated in other

judges. The law was violated IN other
precincts by failure to have prepared
boxes for the ballots of rejected voters,
the Judges at such precincts criminally
refusing to take such votes at all, not.
withstanding they are expressly charged
by the law to receive and deposit them
1t cannot be that this was through mere
ignorance of the law. Those rejected
voters are as necessary, in certain
contingency, as Others, and the radicals
are afraid of them.
1t is to be hoped that in every in.
stance where such votes were refused
full proof of it is preserved. The spe-
cial places where the outrages We have
named were suffered, were Guerdeman's.
Justice Walthers, Biddle Market, and
St. Louis Hall polling places. They are
all in Conservative strongholds. Even
radicals, who We're present at Those
precincts, felt the injustice and the out
rage committed, and some of them
openly complained Of and denounced IT,
They knew that in fair contest with
an unimpaired opportunity TO vote, the
Radicals could not stand day be-
fore the tremendous and overwhclm'
ing assaults the Conservatives were
abundantly able to make i'll those pre-.
cincts. The failure of three Thousand
votes there, through the fragrant delin-
quencies and premeditated fraud of the
Radical officials, has excited profound
Indignation. 1t is impossible to say at
this present writing what the effect OF
this may be on the ultimate result. But
we do know that it was designed, prac-
tically, to disfranchise the Conservative
vote of the county so far as it is ma
iority, and thus neutralize ctfectually
the result of the registration. In the
Radical precincts 40 such outrages on
the voters were committed. The Judges
were active and prompt, and all needed
facilities for polling the whole vote were
enjoyed. Let the people judge of this
matter
