INSULT TO AND IMPRISONMENT OF A Con-
sUL.-Rear Admiral Thomas Turner, COM
mandlng the Pacific station, forwarded to
the Navy Department the reports of the
visit of the steamer Tuscarora, Commander
Queen, to Bueno Ventura, to investigate

stances, Commander Queen decided to make
no demands for redress, leaving the case in
the hands of the United States Minister

Will thelNew York Tribune, which affects
candor, tell us why it is, and how it is, that
it sympathizes SO much with rebellion in
Cuba while it was so hard upon rebellion in
the South? If it was crime here-a great
crime-is it not n crime there? Have the
Northern Republican papers no regard for
q decent consistency?

The Reporter records the death of Mr.
Milton Abernathy, of Chester County
While riding, his horse stepped into deep
rut and threw Mr.. Abernathy over his head.
The horse was also thrown down, and turn
ing complete somersault, fell on the de-
ceased; the pommel of the saddle striking
him on the head, crushing in the skull and
breaking his neck.
The United States Marshal at New York
was trying all day yesterday to find out
something about the alleged Cuba filibus-

A later despatch adds, however, that the
Perot was the vessel, and that tug-boats
carried the men down to the number of 225.
Never does man portray his own charac-
ter more vividly than in his manner of por-
traying another's.

PoLrrIoAL CORRUPTION. Perhaps nothing
shows the political corruption which is pre-
valent in all branches of the Government
more than the conduct of John P. Hale,
our Minister to the Court of Spain. OF
course, Ministers are allowed to import such
articles as are necessary for their personal
or family use, free of duty. But no one
would suppose they would turn smugglers
and defraud the Government to which they
are accredited, as we'll as disgrace the Go
vernment whose representatives they hap
pen to be. But Mr.. John P. Hale, ex-
abolition candidate for President, and now
Minister to Spain. has none Of the scruples
which ordinarily govern men. In October
1866, he was detected in bringing in $50
pounds of cotton, 1,500 pounds wooden felt,
$4,000 pounds of carpeting 375 pounds of
linen .damask, and 760 pounds of curtain
goods. These goods were not for his own
use, as will bo seen by their amount, but
were for certain commercial company in
Madrid with which he is connected, and in
the profit of which he was to SHARE Can
anything be more disgraceful? Ought he
not have been stripped of all his diplomatic
privileges, and tried as any other foreigner
would be, under the laws of Spain, for the
offense of smuggling? What American
could object to it who had any sense of
honor or decency? Cincinnati Mluirer.

on business, at the office of the United
States District Attorney, in Chambers street.
The District Attorney, Judge Pierrepont, /.
seems, was out Of town, but to arrive at this
fact, and the further information as to when
he would be in the city, the President was
subjected to several very curt, not to say
rude replies, from one of Judge Pierrepont's 8
assistants. In the sequel the identity of the
President was discovered, and an awkward
apology rendered, as it would not have been,
probably, to less parsonage, though really
due to any gentleman who nigh. have taken
exception to the incivility Of this thought

The Ohio Democratic State Central Com
mittee are in session at Columbus, to supply
the vacancy on the State ticket, occasioned
by the decliuation of Gen. Rosecrans. The
correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial
says: "The names Of great many are
talked of; the most prominent, however, is
Pendleton. He, no doubt, is the favorise
and, while a strong effort is being made to
make Pendleton believe the good of the
party demands his consent to head the ticket
there seems to be little hope of his accept
ance. 1t is generally conceded that Ranney
will not consent George W. McCook seems
to be gaining ground. If the nominee is q
General, McCook will be the man Charles
Folett, of Granville, is also prominently
mentioned. His consistent record and hi
ability are appreciated. Cary and Chilsor
White are favored BY some, but without hop

1t is proposed to cut ship canal through
Ireland, from Dublin to Galway distance
of about 100 miles-as q means of improv-
ing the communication between England
and America. 1t is also proposed to unite
Scotland and Ireland by railway, through
tunnel, starting on the Irish side from a
point midway between Cushendon and
Cushendall, on the coast of Antrim, to the
Scotch side of Glenstrone, from whence it
would run through the head of the Null of
Cantyre The total length of the tunnel
would be fourteen miles three furlongs, and
it is seid that the ground through which it
would have to be made is exactly suited for
tunneling operations, and the sandstone for
lining it can be found in any quantity on
the Irish side
