A Cowhiding Affair In PENNSYLVANIA Avenue.
At q late hour last evening Pennsylvania avenue
was the scene Of q cowhiding affair, which has been
the talk OF the town to-day. 1t appears that mar.
red man, who Is bartender In one OF the restaur.
ants, has been paying attention to young lady or
eighteen, unknown to her parents. When the mo-
Their OF the young woman became aware Of the init.
macy between them, and learned that the man was
married, she endeavored to dissaade her daughter
from keeping company with him. This seemed to
have eject upon the daughter, and finally at
eleven O'Clock yesterday, she fed from home. The
mother, suspecting that her daughter had been en-
tlced by the gay Lothario after waiting In vain
for her return, proceeded late last night to the
mans place OF business. She was armed with
new cowhide and accompanied by her SIS.

zuela, and though the fact that the people Of
Venezuela were warning against the mother
country was known only by public notoriety,
and was not proved by any ordinary legal evil
dence. But that was in time when James
Monroe was President and John Quincy
Adams was Secretary of State. Then the Pre-
sident knew his duties, and the Secretary had

But what can the cause of liberty hope
from this Spanish Administration? Alas,
nothing! General Grant set out with an
honest though apparently not Intelligent wish
to help the Cubans; but John A. Rawlins has
been taken away, and Hamilton Fish is the
iather-in-law OF the chief manager of Spanish
interests in this country; and the President
has fallen into the present anti-American and
dishonorable course of action. But the senti-
ment OF the American people can yet accom-
pllsh much by earnest manifestations If the
hired agent of Spanish despotism and slave
trading still influences the Executive through
his father-in-law, the people can influence
Congress. 1t is not yet too late TO save Cuba
and save our country from the shame of being
overruled by Spanish tyrants. Let the popu-
lar sympathy with the republicans of Cuba,
martyrs of liberty, contending for the rights
OF man, be declared so ardently that the true
men in Congress will be inspired to act with
boldness and decisions and SO loudly that the
servant of Spain in the State Department will
be startled and the deafness of the White
House made to hearken and obey!

TRIUMPH OF SPANISH TYRANNY ON
AMERICAN SOIL.
From The n. Y. Sun.

From the NJ Y. Sun.
The triumph of Spanish influence in the
administration, nominally of General Grant,
but really of Hamilton Fish is consummated.
The thirty Spanish gunboats built here and
at Mystic to operate against Cuba, but osten-
tatiously seized by the Government four
months ago and kept under guard ever since,
were released on Friday by orders from Wash
ington. The Hon. Hamilton Fish has directed
that they shall be surrendered to the Spanish
agents, and they will now be free to proceed
on their work against the patriots Of Cuba.
If the Republican cause there is put down,
and slavery and the African slave trade finally
re-established, the credit of it will be due
to the Secretary of State, whose advice con-
trolls General Grant, and to Sidney Webster,
hired lawyer of the Spanish Government,
who influences his father-in-law, Secretary
| Fish.
The neutrality law, under which the admin
istration pretends to act, was finally enacted
| IN 1918. The Spanish colonies of South Anne
rica were in revolt and the United States
| sympathized with them. 1t was an earnest
and not hypocritical sympathy. The law
was framed to embody and proclaim this feel
ing, and to secure to all American colonies
struggling for independence and self-gov-
eminent all the rights of belligerents
through the operation of our courts,
whether the President had recognized the
fact of their revolt and their warfare or
not. 1t was intended to cover Just such
cases as the present case of Cuba; and ac-
cordmgly, when a Venezuelan cruiser cap
tured Spanish vessel and brought her into
New Orleans she was held to be lawful
prize, though the President had not in any
! way recognized the insurgent colony Of Vene-

THE RELEASE OF THE GUNBoATs.


Even those who sympathize most ardently
with the insurgents in Cuba will admit if
they take the trouble to look carefully into
all the facts, that the Government has placed
Itself in very strong position by its course
in reference to the Spanish gunboats. A
serious danger has been avoided Had we
followed the example of other nations, we
should have allowed the popular sympathy
for Cuba TO override principles of law and
justice. The good wishes of the American
people were naturally with the leaders of a
party which desired to get rid of bad gov
ernment and construct another on the model
| Of this Republic. A sentiment of this kind
cannot be controlled by cabinets, but it is the
duty of every honest government to restrain
1t from leading nation into a breach OF
faith 1t is in that respect, as we have
always alleged, that the Government of
England failed, and the facts too thoroughly
sustain our accusation. Lord Palmerston and
his colleagues stood by idly while hostile
cruisers were fitted out against us. We
demand reparation, and while we are de-
manding it, there are those who would force
us into committing similar obnoxious acts
ourselves They first of all insisted that we
ought to send relief to the Cuban insur
gents, and failing that, they called upon the
Government to seize the gunboats built here
by Spain, for the express purpose of weak
ening that power and of giving suocor to hel
insurrectionary subjects.
Had the President yielded to this pressure
he would have been bitterly reproached here
after by the very men who have tried TO in
fuence his Judgment in favor of interVen
ton. They like everybody else would have
seen that we had completely destroyed al
the effect Of our remonstrances with Eng

The appointment Of this gentleman as
Chairman of the Democratic State Central
Committee, appears to annoy some OF the
Radical editors exceedingly. One would
suppose that an editor who can endorse a
political mountebank like John Covode, who
is the learned and eloquent Chairman of the
Geary State Committee, would not be par
ticularly anxious about Mr.. Mutchler's an
tecedents. or his capacity for an efficient
discharge Of the duties of his position. Al
though he is a stranger to US, we think 1t
quite certain that, unlike Covode, he can at
least spell the most ordinary English
words correctly, and, in case Of ene~-
genCy, JaG. A5 is competent to write letter
in grammatical language, neither of which
was Covode ever charged with. The editor
of the AHegheniGn, in his paper OF last week,
closes an article on this subject as follows :
1.-The great question among the copperocra-
cy now is who is William Mutchler 2" We
will answer the editors question by COM
mending to his careful attention and study,
the following flattering notice of Mr.. Mutch-
Ter by the editor of the Easton ErpresS,
which is a neutral paper published in Mr..
Mutchler's own town. We srust that the
editor of the 14Hcghenian, as we'll as all 9th
ers seeking political information under diff
culties, will derive wholesome instruction
from its perusal:
"Time and space in our issue of Saturday
last would not permit but of a mere notice OF
our townsman, Mr.. William Mutchler's ap-
pointment as Chairman of the Democratic
State Central Committee. Mr. Mutchler has
been long and fdvorably known in Eastern
Pennsy ylvania, as one of the most Jealous and
hard working laborers in the cause of the De-
mocracy. He is a lawyer by profession, and
has filled many positions of honor and trust in
his own County, and during the administrator
of Andrew johnson, filled tie important Office
of Assessor of Internal Revenue, of this Con
gressional district. In that position he won a
reputation even among mis- political opponents
in the Department at Washington. as being
one of the best and most trustworthy officers
in the Revenue service. Be possesses rare
executive abilities, and is perhaps one of the
shI ewdest politicians in all Pennsylvania. We
consider that no man could have been appoint
ed who is better ca aiculated to lead the Demo
cratic host than Mr.. Mutcher. In social life
he is genial whole souled gentleman who has
never been found guilty of dishonorable act
and above all he is that which is rarely found
in these degeuerative days-an HONEST MAN

Alabama and Tennessee.

An election for members Of Congress and
the State Legislature was held in Alabama
on the 81 instant. From the meagre returns
received it seems certain that the conserva-
tives, or democrats, have elected at least
three, and perhaps four, Of the six members
of Congress. The last delegation was entire
ly radical.
On Thursday last the election in Tennes-
see took place. The candidates for Cover
. nor were Senter and Stokes, both republicans,
but Scnter was in favor of permitting fifty
thousand white men hereafter to vote, who
now, under law of that State, cannot ap-
proach the ballot-box. The result of the
contest has been the election of Senter by a
majority of at least .Jstty thousand, and the
securing OF legislature in sympathy with
him. This is merely the beginning of the
end, and is a perfect and overwhelming en-
dorsement of the election of Walker in Yir-
sinia. The complexion of the legislature
lenders it almost certain that Andrew John
son will be elected United States Senator
from that State, as the successor of Mr..
Fowler II he should be sent back to the
Senate, which, without any cause, attempted
to dishonor him and his country in tho esti.

Those Seven Millions.

We charge that upwards Of SEVEN
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS were taken
from the State Treasury during the fiscal
years Of 1867 and 1868, by appropriations
for erpences Of the State Government and
oLier purposes. Upward of EteUen Millions
Of Dollars were received a. the Treasury
during these two years aud but -Four fau-
lious were paid on the State Debt, showing
an expenditure of SeUeR Millions for other
purposes. We demand of the supporters of
Governor Geary that they show to what uses
these Secen Millions were applied. We de-
mand that they itemize the account. The
taxpayers of the Commonwealth want to
know where their money goes. We doubt
not that some of the appropriations were
entirely legitimate and proper. But the
public will not be satisfied with a mere
statement in the lump, such as that given by
the Telegraph. Much less will the case be
met by simple denial of the charge made
by us, though ornamented with such glow
ing rhetoric as ''infamons falsehood, +" elm
mortality of political controversy" ''fabri-
cation" etc., etc. The whole truth and
each particular part of the truth is expected
! to be forthcoming. Appropriations to chari-
table institutions, schools, etc., will not be
objected to by anybody, unless they be of
an extravagant character or unworthily be-
slowed. But the people of the State desire
to be informed how much of the SeUen naii-
ttohS was appropriated for the expenses of
the State government, how much was paid
out to run" the legislature, how much was
given away to pastors and folders ard other
nominal legislative officials who never earned
cent of their pay, how much was paid for
worthless history printed by order of Gov.
Geary without lawful authority, and how
much was squandeIed in increased rates OF
| interests on the State Debt. Moreover, they
would be glad to know why upwards of
One Million Dollars are lying idle in the
State Treasury, why that sum is not applied
TO the redemption of the State bonds, as,
also, who has the use of that million and who
gets the interest accruing on it. Will some
one of the newspaper organs of Gov. Geaty,
outside of Harrisburg, answer these ques-
tions ? The Telegraph dares hot.-Ha1Tis.

When the editor of the Tribune wrote
this paragraph he stated what is notoriously
not true. Whether or not he knew that
such was the fact, we will not say. Asa
Packer voted in the Charleston Convention
for James Guthrie, of Kentucky, formerly
Secretary of the Treasury, a gentleman of
distinguished ability and as pure and unset

,duced. But even if Mr.. Packer had voted
for John G. Breckinridge, the editor Of the
