should st last have been brought befors the
public by an f'interpellstion in the Spanish
Cortes," and by leading article on that
Interpolation in a Government journal OF
Madrid, the Foltica." He adds an express
sion OF his "6elief that the documents
about Mr.. Hale's oomplicity in certain smug-
Cling transactions which were called for In the
Cortes had already been sent to Washington"
As the documents in question were sent to
this country by Mr.. Perry, and as the Iri
bunes correspondent has openly declared him
self to be familiar and advocate OF Mr.
Perry, IL is telerably plain that his "bsliet' in
this instance must have amounted TO positive
"knowledge.n This is the more clear that, at
the time when the Tribune'S correspondent
was writing in this fashion from Madrid, GER
tain other friends of Mr.. Perry in this country
were contriviDg the publication here, without
the authority OF the Government OF the atore-
said documents. On these facts aloneit 1t might
be safely predioated OF the 'exposure" in the
Spanish Cortes and press that II was made,
not for the sake of vindicsting the laws or
protecting the interests of Spain, but at the
instigaton OF and to further the personal
ends of Mr.. Perry. The leading article in the
Politcd to which the Iri6une'S correspondent
refers, however, leaves us in no doubt on this
point. The Interpolation" which brought
out the charges against Mr.. Hale was made Ia
the Cortes of Spain by Senior Fuente Aloazar,
and the Potitica says Of it:-"We learn that
the request of Senior Alcazar is made with the
view of defending an innocent person now
accused in the United States in consequence
OF that affair" This innocent person." Of
course, is Mr.. Perry, whose wife, a Spanish
lady, Donna Carolina Coronado, is conneo-
tion by marriage, we understand, of Senior
Fuente Alcazar.
1t can hardly be necessary to throw any
further light, we fancy, on such piece of
business. We have given it the space which
we now bestow upon 1t, not because we
believe any more in the innocence than we
do in the importance either of Mr.. Hale or Of
Mr.. Perry, but simply because the case illus
trates the small and scurvy and spiteful way
| in which lesdipg radical politicians and lead
| ing radical journals can behave to each other,
and their deplorable readiness to prostitute
both official position and the public press to
the most petty and contemplate personal
| objects.
OF such wretched scandals as this the coun-
try, thanks to its folly of last November, may
| expect for four years more to keep on reaping
new and ever -nastier crops.

PRISON PUNISHMENTS.

From the NJ y. Times.
The late trsgical results of the severe pun
ishment of mutinous prisoners in our State
Prisons has led to the introduction in the
Senate of bill to "abolish certain punish.

characters who find their way into our prisons
are to be controlled except by the exercise
of arbitrary power and execution OF strin-
gent and even severe rules; nevertheless
Il is not to be disputed that many Of our
prison-ksepers and attendants are men Of
hardened and cruel natures, and that often
The 'sshower bath" is a torture hardly less
severe than the crack" or "Whssl;" "tying

OUR SPANISH SCANDAL AGAIN.

From the N. y. World.
1t is creditable to the Tribune which,
through one of its European correspondents,
has for some time past been conspicuous in
the work of throwing mud at our foreign min
listers in general, and at Mr.. Reverdy Johnson
and Mr.. Hale in particular-that it should
have published, "without note or comment"
very short, sharp letter from Mr.. Hale in
reference to the treatment of himself by the
correspondent in question.
Whether the Tribune would have behaved
as we'll to Mr.. Reverdy Johnson had that
gentleman thought lit to notice the scurrilous
alta scks of its correspondent, may perhaps be
doubted. MIR. Hale Is one OF its own people,
father in the Israel of radicalism. Bat be this
as 1t may, MIR. Hale's explicit declaration that
the 1r'6une'S correspondent found his way as
fliend into the house of the man whom he
has since reviled without stin. or measure on
the strength of observations made at his vic
TINS table and under the sacred rose, is de-
cisive of the repute in which that person must
be hereafter content to be held among
gentlemen. The offender himself, If we are
not mistaken, exhibited, in his first letters on
the subject of Mr.. Hale's conduct at Madrid, a
vague, uneasy sort of halt-consciousueS5 that
he was perpetrating an act OF social treason,
and endeavored to excuse him self in advance
for 1t by the faciie plea ''Of duty to his
country" This plea Of ''duty to one's
country mas Deen MADE TO DO u deal OF very
dirty work in the course of the last few
years. But it will hardly hold in season of
peace, when people sit clothed and in their
right minds. And that the less in this par
tioular case, because a fresh letter from the
same person, which appeared in Wednesday IS
| Tribune, makes it quite clear that the whole
affair of the exposure OF Mr.. Hale's alleged
delinquency has been an elaborate intrigue
concocted and carried out in the interest OF
Mr.. Hale's Secretary of Legation, Mr.. Perry.
To ourselves, Mr.. Hale is a Tyrian and
Mr.. Perry Trojan. We care no more for
the one than for the other, and for neither OF
them at all saving and excepting 80 far as his
decent or indecent conduct in Office abroa1 1
may affect the character of the nation which
he represents. But we think II public duty

THE PROPOSED DEMAND FOR THE CEs
SSION OF CANADA.

THE PROPOSED DEMAND FOR THE CES-
SION OF CANADA.
From the ~ Y. Times
The. idea that Great Britain can be coaxed
or bullied into ceding Canada to the United
States, as a confession of the insult and an
stonement for the injury she inflicted upon
us during the Rebellion, is one of the most
preposterous and absurd that ever entered
the head of a Western Senator. We hope
and trust that the administration will not
be seduced or betrayed into instructing our
Minister to make any suggestion of this kind
to the British Ministry; it would betray at
once degree of diplomatic ignorance, and a
contempt of diplomatic deeency, not at all
creditable to any department of the Govern
ment.
If we are to have negotiations with Great
Britain at all on this subject, we must start on
some other basis than this. The offenses we
charge upon Great Britain are such az ''nego-
tiation" has nothing to do with. Damages
cannot pay for insults, nor for the prolonga.
tion of our war, with the loss of life and
treasure which it involved. And the attempt
TO negotiate for satisfaction under such
wrongs must, of necessity, involve US not
only in failure, but in ridioule. And nothing
could make the failure more complete and
the disgrace more signal than to propose the
cession of Canada, with her four millions OF
people, as the measure Of the satisfaction
which we require.
II the people OF Canada desire annexation to
the United States, and apply to the Home Gov
ernment for release from its authority in order
to carry out that desire, their action would
afford basis on which the m after might be
arranged. But until that, or something like
it, has been done, the less we meddle with the
matter the better. The less we have to say
about cession OF Canada by England, as q
means Of atonipg for her wrongs and insults
to us in the Alabama business, the more
likely shall we be ever to obtain such a
cession.
We concur in the general view of the case
presented by Mr.. Sumner in his recent speech.
But we confess we do not see how, even on
that basis, friendly negotiations are to be
easily opened between the two Governments,
tor an adjustment of differences. The tenor
and tendency of that speech is towards war,
rather than peaceful settlement And Sena-
tor Chandler's proposition in the Senate is
upquestionably and avowedly in that direc-
tion. The paramount object in both cases is
to compel England to do what will most
humiliate her, in satisfaction of the wrongs
she has done US. This cannot be done by me-
gotistion. 1t can only be done by war; and
whenever the attempt to accomplish it in that
way is resolved upon, we hope the job will be
let out to Senator Chandler and his constitu.
ents. They seem to have more leisure or
their hands just now than the rest of the
country.

would hlch nom them every chance OF riaiuO.
and encourage their Woes that their perpetual
debssement may be insured. Saying nothing
OF the wiokedness and inconsistency of suoh a
resolution az the following, was there ever
such folly p
'Ffth That the legislator who would seek IN oive
away the elective franchise OF the superior v6ite
race TO the low negro is unworthy of respect or Of
social consideration among white men And the
legislator who would knowingly violate our .vrttan

rights, is dangerous public leader, and only needs

Here are men who are not ashamed to do tho

then to boast, by way of apology of theirIown

With the feeblest and flabbiest of consoiepces
it is difficult TO see in what their superiority
csnsists. Perhaps in being able to mass
twenty-five resolutions in a single dav. and
among them most ferooious and threatening

This would seem to point to war of exter-
mination against the blacks; and, if thew can
not be treated like human beings. IL wonld he

speedily as possible. Perhaps the Legislature
of this unfortunate State may, at some future
period, be able to accomplish this; and we re-
commend the well known example of Pharaoh.

Arrival of General Sherman.

Lieutenant-Gener Sherman, accom-
panied by his daughter and Col. Day
ton and lady, arrived on Sunday
morning last on the steamer Lotawan-
ma and took lodgings at the Ice House
Hotel. We had the pleasure of meet
ing him at the hotel where many of his
old friends called on him and talked
over the scenes of former times. On
Monday the General visited the State
Seminary of which he was the first
Superintendent. He took a view of
the grounds and buildings and inspect
ed the class rooms as in old times
when he was on duty as its presiding
officer. We understand that the Gen.
eral expressed himself highly gratifed
at the furnishing condition of the In
stitution, so ably managed by his old
friend and colleague.
We are pleased to observe that Gen.
Sherman is in much better health than
We expected to find him. He shows
signs of having been handled by father
Time during the last eight years as
nnsparingly as the rest of us. We
hope his visit to Rapides has been
pleasant one. He goes down on the
Stonewall to-day.

A Strange Affair-A Girl in 9
Trance.
[From the Milwaukee Wisconsin. ]


A number Of our city physicians went
ont to Burlington yesterday to investigate
the case Of q child which for twenty days
has been in trance. The case is pro-
nounced one of the most remarkable that
ever came under Of the medical faculty,
and there is little wonder that it creates
something of sensation. In the report Of
| the affair, published in the Wisconsin Of
yesterday, we had not sufficient details to
explain the case thoroughly, but are ena-
bled to do 50 to-day from the lips Of per.
sons who have seen the child.
A little daughter, twelve years of age,
named Nina, Of Christian Rausch, Ger
man farmer, living about one and half
miles from Burlington, Racine county, in
this State, had . severe attack of measles
and diptheria. She had nearly recovered
from these on the 9Th day of January, when
she called her father to her bedside, and
told him she was going to sleep, and that
she should sleep for q long, long time
She said she should look as though she
were dead. but she should not be dead,
and she made the father promise that he
wOnld not bury her, which PROMISE it may
readily he supposed. has been faithfully
kept. Soon after making the request. the
child to all appearance sank quietly and
peacefully into her last sleep BY all it

body was enshrouded and placed in cof-
fin After the sleep the body showed no
signs of death, although the pulse and tue
heart ceased to perform their pulsations,
and no device could show that the respira-
tory organs were in use. The eyes closed.
III this state Nina has lain now for
twenty days without Q sign of life and
with no sign Of death. other than q sink
ing Of cheek and eyes, which would be
natural for one wha had tasted for SO long
period.
Three days ago vein was tapped and
blood flowed as naturally as it would in q
Q living person. A blister raised on the
flesh precisely as it would on that of one
alive. A neighbor of Mr.. Rausch told oar
reporter that he had pressed finger on
the hand of the girl. Her flesh was solid,
and upon taking away the finger, the spot
was white. In few seconds the color
came again, precisely as it would if the
flesh OF living person were pressed in the
same manner.
Under these circumstance it is reasona.
BILE for parents and friends to be!!isve that
the child lies in trance, aud there ia lit
tie wonder that the case is attracting 30
much attention among the medical facul.

end, and With interest. A large number

we disagree with him, for we know q great
