YACHTING INTELLIGENCE.

The yacht Eva Is still ploughing the sunny waves
in southern ATTITUDES, and from all accounts those
on board OF her are enjoying themselves in right
royal manner. When last heard from she had put
into Elizabeth CITY, North Carolina, for water, from
whence she was soon to sail for Charleston, s. c.,
where provisions and mails are awaiting her arrival.
1t Is more than probable that American yachtmen
viii at no distant day follow the custom OF the Eng
lish yachtmeu, in taking pleasant cruises during
winter months In the waters OF the Mediterranean
our Mediterranean lying between the Gulf OF Mexico
and the caribbean Sea. Certainly no more pictur-
osque or pleasant cruising ground than the West
Ind les can be found anywhere In the world.

OAKEY HALL GROWING BrG.-Since the
recent charter election, when Oakley Hall was
chosen Mayor of New York by ifty-ive thou
sand majority, he has become quite famous as
public man, and has doomed up into such
large proportions as leading politician that it
is evident he must have been favored by the
abuse of some of the Bohemian journals of the
city. AT the rate in which he is progressing
in popular favor it seems probable that the
Mayoralty will in his case be the stepping stone
to the Office Of Governor of the State; and
there is no knowing where he will stop. When
the Bohemians assail public man this is gen
orally the result.

Progress. of che Revolution in Cuba.

Our intelligence from Havana this morning
IS intensely interesting. A rising has taken
place at Santi Espiritu, an inland city of thir-
teen thousand inhabitants, short distance
east OF Trinidad. The government at Havana
mas authorized an increased issue of paper
money, and the British Consul notifies British
subjects to register. These events Indicate
the alarm which is now prevailing there. On
revolutionary authority rising is reported
to have occurred at Ma cagua, and others to be-
ready at Villa Clara and Trinidad These
need confirmation, and are probably merely
indications of popular feeling. Macapua ia
situated in the heart of the great sugar dis
trict, the seat of the slave population Of the
western department, and when the fire once
catches there it must burn until it burns itself
out.
1t is the westward progress of the insurrec-
ton, as indicated by these advices, that BODIES
evil to the colonial government. The rising in
Cuba is only to be compared to fire in a
prairie covered with dry grass. In the vicinity
of four hundred thousand negro slaves the
insurgents have liberated and armed white
and black alike. If this fire once reaches the
densely populated sugar district all the troops
that Spain possesses in the world, if thrown
into Cuba, would not suffice to quench it.
The colonial authorities are now in great
stress, and General Dulce still delays his de-
parture from Cadiz The timing of his arrival
in Cuba forms the real crisis of the revolution
there, and he has three thousand miles Of
ocean to traverse. Can he reach the island in
time to prevent the confagration from extend
ing to the slave population west of Sagua la
Grande? It is almost at their doors now, and
q few days may bring us the intelligence that
they are in arms. When this occurs General
Dulce can only repeat the disasters and
miseries of La Clercs famous expedition to
Hayti at the beginning Of the present century.

NATURALIZATION FRAUDs.-The elaborate
memorial of the Union League Club of New
York city relative to alleged Wholesale natural
ization frauds previous to the recent election
for Presidential electors and State officers in
this State was yesterday presented to both
houses of Congress. This memorial was
ordered by the Senate to be printed and refer
red to the Committee on the Judiciary. In
the House of Representatives resolution for
the appointment of a committee of investigation
was adopted. This committee will probably
be announced to-day and will enter upon its
duties during the holiday recess. 1t can only
discover, after all, that naturalization frauds
are not peculiarly characteristic of any one
political party.

LORD CLARENDON AND THE CHINESE
Lord Clarendon, the new British Minister for
Foreign Affairs, according to late telegram
favorably regards Mr.. Burlingame's mission.
Negotiations with the Chinese Embassy are
TO be opened Immediately with view to con-
Guiding treaty of commerce. This bodies
well. The new Ministry will not go back on
the old. A treaty concluded with Great
Britain will be an example which Europe will
be certain to follow Mr.. Burlingame's real
difficulty il in London.

Probably in the history of this country there
has never been such series Of cold blooded
murders recorded as there has been within
the past few weeks. These terrible deeds, it
will have been noticed, have not been confined
to the South, where radical politicians take
especial pains to drag before the world every
deed of horror that Is committed-and many,
perhaps, that are not. In the North, and par
ticularly in New England, these murderous acts
are characterized by frightful atrocities which
might cause even Southern Ku-Klux to re-
coil shudderingly. Murder as one of the fine
arts, as described by De Quincy, finds almost
daily illustrations in moral and puritanical
New England. It is evident that the lessons
of the ancestors of the New England people,
who hung Quakers and burnt witches for pas
time, are not forgotten. Seriously, cannot
our New England philanthropists and philoso-
piers pause moment in their missionary
works among the far off Hindoos and fat and
lazy Africans and set about improving the i'm
moral atmosphere with which they are sur
rounded, and in retaining from Satan's grip
the poor, shivering souls akin to their own
flesh and blood A truly shocking state of
affairs prevails in New England, and something
should be done to check the course of society
there in its downward career to utter demorali-
zation

GENERAL GRANTS Two SHORT SPEECHES. =
AT the Union League Club meeting General
Grant told the members never to say anything
unless they had something to say. His best
and most laconic speech, however, was made
In Rhode Island during his late visit there,
and was probably intended to suit the size
of the State. "A speech speech speech y

THE Two PERUVIAN Iron CLADs-It ap-
pears that there is some question as to the
destination of the two iron-clads which we
sold to the Peruvian government The Spanish
government Is very much exercised about it,
and the Minister Of that Power at Washing
ton feels as If it were to be another Alabama
case, but this time, however, the capture
of the magnidcently freighted ship Cuba,
which has been trying to make harbor for
some years past called the United States.
There is nothing improbable in the idea that
these iron-clads may attack Cuba for there is
no peace or truce existing between the allied
Pacific States and Spain. 1t would be just
retribution on Old Spain to lose her great
island as a return for the inhuman and uncivil-
lied bombardment Of Valparaiso and other
Pacific ports. What authority our Secretary
of State possesses to guarantee that the YES
sells shall not proceed against Cuba we do not
comprehend. All will explain itself in time
and our suppositions, like Talleyrands letters
be answered if we let them alone.

THE METHODIST Brsuops TO GENERAL
GRANT. The bishops Of that powerful denom-
nation, the Methodist Episcopal Church, have
written congratulatory letter to General
Grant on his election, with promise that they
viii pray for his success in his great Office, for
his ultimate salvation, and for the prosperity Of
the country. The letter is very neat one, and
as General Grant has rather family leaning
to the Methodist Church we have no doubt be
will esteem this compliment from the bishops q
very high one. We are assured, too, that
''the prayers Of the righteous avail much,
and 50 we hope that If General Grant should
get into any difficult snarl with the radicals
these worthy bishops will not forget their
promise.
