NEW YORK.

New York, May 2l.--A remarkable
and brilliant meteor, visible here, Hart
ford, Poughkeepsie, and other places,
trsversed last Eight the heavens in a
northwesterly direction and burst in
great splendor.
The Herald states Mr.. de La Rientrie,
late Vice Consul at Havana, had an in
terview with President Grant, yesterday,
on Cuban affairs. He has been frequent
ly in the interior of the Island, and says
the Cubans will certainly succeed, as
their policy of harrassing the Spaniards,
by avoiding decisive engagements, was
proving very effective.
The side-wheel blockade runner Saliva
dor, which escaped some time ago from
Key West. was at Nassau on the 10th
inst. She has encountered but little liti-
CATION there, and seems to be taking on
Cuban men, arms and munition under
the open eyes of the British without any
interference.
II is stated that the Cabinet recently
discussed the eight hour law, and con-
cluded that it was not intended to reduce
the wages, and thereupon it was decided
thatthe President should, at an early day,
issue a proclamation to that effect.
Senator Sumner is frequently in re.
oeipt Of abusive letters from England and
Canada in reference 10 his late Alabama
claims speech,
Representatives from consolar agent,
who has resided in Cuba for the last fif-
teen months, place the Cubans largely ir
the advantage, and he is of opinion that
the insurgents will eventually succeed.
His reasons for so believing are, that the
mode of warfare adopted by the insur-
gents-that of not giving open battle in
the field, but detachments and bands
greatly harassing the Spanish troops
will eventually bring them to terms.
The provisions of the brutal proclama-
ton of Valamacada are being carried out
with terrible severity, and long lists of
brutalities are being constantly reported.
Six women, one child and one editor
were recently put to death in one day.
A circular from President Csspedes,
of Cuba, says the union of the free peo-
PIE of Cuba is already an accomplished
fact, as throughout the island the Demo
cratic-Federal Republic has been estab-
lished and the provisional Constitution
ratified. The country. has been divided
into four departments, called the Eastern,
Comsqusy, Las Villas, and the Western.
The officers necessary for the admins
tration Of government will De filled WITH
cut delay by gentlemen who inspire con-
fdence.
The ram Atlanta, at Philadelphia, has
been sold 10 the st. Domingo Govern
ment, not TO Cubans.

MEMPHIS. May 81. 1869.
EDITOR LEDGER: In your issue of yes
terday you assign, by implication, to the
Daily Kentuckian, of Paducah, a posi-
ton which il has never assumed, viz;
The advocacy of negro suffrage. The
Kentuckiaa has ever opposed in toto the
right of the negro to vote, hold office, or
sit on juries. 1t does hold that sound
policy and the changed relation of the
negro makes it eminently just and proper
that be should be allowed in Kentucky
the right which he now has in every other
State in the Union-to testify in the State
courts.
Hoping, sir, that you will give this ex-
PLANTATION the benefit of the circulation Of
your valuable paper, l am, very respect
fully, JOHN MARTIN, JR.
We give space in our columns with
pleasure for the above letter, written by
the editor ofthe Daily Kentuckian, The
gentleman defines his position clearly,
which we ourselves would have no objec-
ton to indorse. The editor and his able
sheet both have our best wishes for the
future,

With such men for Trustees as Michael

We are glad that this project has got
into its present shape. We cannot have
too many big enterprises set on foot.
Such undertakings are, indeed, what We
specially need. Certainly this company
has some very tempting privileges
awarded to it; and if the line through
which its course is projected is only
half as rich in ores aud lodges as is an
it will prove one Of the most
lucrative operations of which we have
any knowledge. We should say that
the possible prospects are worthy Of the
necessary outlay. Sutro himself may
be visionary; but he certainly has
world of perseverance and pluck. He
seems, indeed, TO be as persistent and
indomiiable as his antitypes, the grea,
