Arbitrary Order In Cuba-The Drouth,
60, &c.
HAVANA, May 19.-Of local nature, tho prnci-
pal theme Of conversation is the suppression of
books and newspapers, and all conversation other
than that relating to work, by all operatives in
segar and other manufactures. The high-handod
measure is increasing the discontent among the
people, spaniards and Cubans, and, together with
other tyrannies, is likely to bring on revolt. Our
new Governor is making himself very much dis
same course that gained him the general ili-will
when he was hore before.

Conversational.


STEVENS offered an amendment, taking from the
Secretary OF tho Treasury tho appointment Of
Special Commissioner Of the Revenue, and pro-
viding that the latter officer shall be elected by
Congress-. STEVENS remarked that he offered the
amendment because the Secretary said he would
appoint to Office only those who supported the
President. 1t was time, STEVENS said. to build
wall to protect those who support the United
States. The Secretary was a recreaut tool Of q
reoresnt President.
HALE, Republican, reproved STEVENS, and
showed that Congress has no such power Of ap-
pointment. Mr. DELANo, Republican, defended
the Secretary, who WAS not slave and thus pre-
vented from speaking his sentiments. Dare he
not have an opinion Of his own2 Must we all
square opinions by regular line at the dictation
Of an individualp just such acts as STEVENS
were creating very bad sentiment throughout
the country. STEVENS, thus disoomftted, with
drew his amendment, pronising to renew it on
Monday.

The Cincinnati ENQUIRER saws:

The Cincinnati Enquirer says:
We have been permitted, by friend
who has lately received private letter
from the distinguished Confederate Gen
eral, Longstreet, to make the following
extract from it. It's tone, coming from
such source, ought to convince even the
most skeptical of the disposition of the
south to accept, frankly and honestly, the
results OF the war; and it should shame
those who, from party hate, refuse to al :
low that section of the county to resume
its old relations with the Union General
Longstreet says:
ri see that some of the public men of
the north are still inclined to doubt our
loyalty at the south, aud to hold us in our
present condition for further guarantees.
What can we do to satisfy them? We are
willing and anxious to do anything that is
wanted of us, provided we arc allowed to
get on some constitutional platform. 1 do
not suppose that there are thousand men
in the south who think differently from
myself on this subject; and l have some
doubts whether there arc as many as that
who would leave the Union to~day, if they
were offered the choice to go out or return
upon terms Of equality"

GENERAL FOREST ON THE WING

GENERAL FOREST on THE WING
General n. Bedford Forrest, the great cav.
airy leader of the South, has left the coun.
try in consequence of the information re-
ccivcd by him, that an order had been
issued from the Secretary of War for his
arrest and Imprisonment in Washington
until such time as military commission
could be organized for his trial and con-
yiction. Unwilling, like sensible man
to trust himself to the tender mercies OF
the bloodthirsty, tyrannicaland revengeful
Stanton, he has taken wing for Brazil
Mexico or some other foreign country
The General acted wisely in thus consulting
discretion. and taking himself away from
all danger of being caught in one of Stan
toms rat-traps--a military commission.

go Railroad.

On our late trip to Rochester, we had
the pleasure Of Meeting M. French, Esq
President of the above named road, and
learned with pleas urc that the prospects Of
the company are flattering. The company
has purchased the road from LaPorte to
Plymouth, which is to be put in first class
condition, and the 20 miles of new road
from Plymout to Rochester will be
finished by midsummer, when trains will
run from Rochester to Chicago, as an ar,
rangement has been effected for using the
track of the NJ. S. N |. Railroad from
LaPortc. The company will push forward
their road to Peru, as soon as possible
when trains will be run from Cincinnati
and Louisville to Chicago, via indianapolis
The completion Of this road will be OF
great Importance to US, rs it will open a
much more direct route to indianapolis.
We think our people are not sufficiently
awake On the subject of railroads. We
ought to have road from Plymouth through
this city, to Niles. and thence to kalama
zoo. Michigan such a road would connect
at the latter point with the Grand Rapids
and Indiana Railroad, thus giving us access
to the pine lumber of Northern Michigan
and the Plaster Mines Of Grand Rapids
besides giving us direct route to Indian.

Fire 1f Goshen.

The Goshen DcmocrGt Of the 3lst ult.,
contains the following particulars ola des>
tructive fire in that place
About one o'clock. on Tuesday morning.
the house on the corner Of Eighth and
Washington streets. owned by A. Jennings,
caught fire and was entirely destroyed
The engine was promptly on the ground
but owing to the fact that there is but lit
tie water in that part Of the town, render
ed no assistance, and even prevented some
from assisting in saving goods from the
burning structure.
1t appears that the fire originated in the
wood shed, on the north side of, and ad,
joining the house, and communicated from
that, to the main building which was oc-
cupied by the families of Messrs. Walter
II. Deardoff and Homer Everett and al
that time, the former gentleman had goods
to the amount OF eight thousand dollars
stored in the house, which, together with
nearly their entire household goods and
wardrobes, were destroyed, leaving some OF
the occupants with almost no clothing, and
one in particular had the misfortune to
loose every stitch of clothing save the one
dress she had On, crossing the street to q
neighbor's in her bare feet.
No cause for the fire is known, and it i.
thought by some to be the work of incen
dilriCs; and what would appear to give credit
t0 this is the fact that a window open:
freln this wood shed directly into the room
where Mr.. Dcardoff's goods were stored
and by entering the shed and raising tho
window the goods could be reached. Some
two weeks ago. while Mr.. d. was absent
some one tried to force an entrance into
the louise, doubtless with the design o.
appropriating portion of the goods aG9
the fact that two persons were seen, by 9
neighbor, standing on the corner near the
house: after II o'clock-all 90 to show
ground for the hypothesis that the house
was forced, the goods extracted therefrom
and then set on fire, to give the rascals al
opportunity to effect their escape.
The losses in building is not as large a.
it would have been, had it been a NOR,
thickly settled portion of TIE town. or hat
the wind been blowing. The heaviest los
is that sustained by Mr.. D,ardoff, amount
ing in the aggregate to about IS, 500 in
sured for $500 Mr. Eyeret's loss i
about 5000, no insurance. Other losses
say 81 200.
