In our article few days ago upon the con-
templated change In the designs for the post
age stamps proposed by the Post-office De-
partment, we urged the expense of preparing
new designs as one good reason why regular
system should be decided upon, such as en-
bellishing the stamps with the portraits of
the Presidents under whose administrations
they are issued. We have received note
from the Post office Department on this sub
ject which informs us that the change now
under consideration will not cost the United
States cent, as the contract entered into with
the National Bank Note Company by the late
Postmaster General, Mr.. Randall, expressly
provides that all changes, at the pleasure of
the department, shall be made free of charge.
We are very glad to make this explanation,
but we must repeat the opinion that plan
such as we have proposed, which would do
away with these capricious changes, and
give us an artistic and historical series of
stamps, would be preferable to the present
arrangement, by which the whole matter is
left to the fancy of the Postmaster General
and his assistants.

of thelaw, and the Secretary Of State states that
the United States are still suffering from the
precipitate recognition of belligerent rights
by foreign powers within little more than
two months after the outbreak of the instr-
rection in this country. This point Mr.. Fish
is careful to impress upon the mind of Mr..
Roberts, for in answer to his letter of Sep
tember 1S, urging various considerations
against what he understood to be the settled
purpose of the United States to accord bel
ligerent rights to the insurgents, Secretary
Fish, while informing Mr.. Roberts that the
United States has no such intentions, reminds
him that Spain had no claim upon our for
bearance, as she conceded belligerency to the
South sixty-six days after the bloodless as
sault on Sumter. ...... t--ru
Under date of August 10, Minister Sickles
was instructed to protest in the name of the
President of the United States against the
barbarous manner in which the war was being
conducted in Cuba, to demand compensation
for the families of Messrs Speskman and
Wyeth, and to require that the citizens of the
United States should be invested with as
broad rights as those of other countries. In
compliance with this representation it was
promised that reparation should be made if
the facts were as alleged. In August Minister
Sickles reported the views of the leading
members of the Spanish Government, all of
whom considered the Cuban insurrection as
most inopportune, and as preventing the ex-
ercise of the liberal policy towards the colony
that was intended. They all contended that
the insurrection had not assumed such i'm
portance as to give an excuse for the recogni-
ton of the insurgents by the United States,
and they expressed every desire to maintain
the most friendly relations.
The information conveyed to the Senate in
these documents is substantially what has
been in the possession of the public during
the entire progress of the negotiations. There
does not appear to have been any underhand
scheming, but the policy of the United
States has been defined with sufficient exact
ness from the beginning Our sympathy for
the Cubans has been decidedly marked but
they have not done enough for themselves to
give us a reasonable excuse for bestowing
upon them anything more substantial than
sympathy.

ALL THE WOMEN RIGHTERs are going to
Iowa, and Iowa is going to the dogs. The
Attorney General of that hitherto prosperous
Commonwealth has Just decided that woman
is eligible to any and every elective Office in
the State except that of membership of the
Legislature. Does the O'Connor-for such is
the name of the great expounder of Iowan
constitutional law-read the newspapers
Above all, does he read the Regoyuti0n and
the speeches of George Francis Train? Has
he ever heard of Susan B., and Anna E., and
Elizabeth c., and all the rest of those terrible
women who are bent upon turning the earth
backward upon its axis, unless they are given
fair show, and something more by way of
compensation for injuries and indignities
suffered in time past ? Does the man know
what he has done in promulgating this start
ling doctrine? We fear not. But when the
grand immigration of strong-minded females
sets in, the wretch will wish that some kind
friend had hanged a milestone about his neck
and tumbled him headlong into the Suez
Canal. Of course, Susan B., and Anna E., and
Elizabeth G. will pack their traps forthwith and
start for Iowa; and if George Francis Train
doesn't follow in their wake, then is the occu-
patton of prophet gone. twill be good rid
dance for the rest of the world, but the race of
men is doomed in Iowa.

The nomination and prompt confirmation
of Hon. Edwin NJ. Stanton as Associate JUS
tice of the Supreme Court will be heartily
commended by the American people. His
acknowledged skill as lawyer furnishes a
sure guarantee of his ability as Judge, and
as he is still in the prime of life, he will
doubtless win reputation on the bench as
brilliant as that he acquired as Secretary of
War. His industry, integrity, courage,
patriotism, and unyielding devotion to the
loyal cause gave him claim to the favorable
consideration of the President, which has
been gracefully acknowledged by the late ap.
pointment, and all true Republicans will ap
plaud General Grant for this recognition.

7HE UNITED STATES AND CUBA.
The President, in compliance with resolu-
ton of the Senate, has transmitted to that
body a large number of documents relating
to the negotiations between the United States
and Spain on the subject of Cuba. These
give complete history of the delicate diplo-
matte moves that have taken place on both
sides, and they represent in the most favor
able light the position assumed blythe United
States Government from the outbreak of the
rebellion in Cuba. Secretary Fish has not
hesitated on all proper occasions to express,
on behalf Of himself and the American people,
sympathy for the Cubans, but he has acted
always in good faith towards the Spanish
Government, and extorted from it and from
its representative at Washington an acknow-
ledgment of this fact. The correspondence
shows that the moral suasion of the United
States has been in the highest degree infuen-
tial in restraining the ferocious tendencies of
the Spaniards in Cuba, and in obliging them
to conduct the conflict with some regard for
the rights of the citizens of other States.
The Cubans have from the first been in
hope and the Spaniards in dread of recog-
milton of the belligerent rights of the insur-
rectionists Minister Roberts, on the 18th
of April last, referred to the public meetings
held in various parts of the country in favor
of Cuba, and to the organization of expedi-
tions to aid the insurgents, and asked that a
proclamation similar to that of Mr.. Fillmore
an 1851 be issued. In reply to this Mr. Fish
informed the Spanish Minister that there did
not appear to'be any necessity or propriety foI
the issuing of such proclamation at that
time. When President Fillmore's proclama
tion was issued peace prevailed in Cuba, but
an armed invasion was threatened from the
United States, while in this instance a portion
of the people of Cuba are in insurrection tc
redress alleged wrongs, and no expeditions
were leaving the United States. The
Spanish Minister had admitted that when
ever called upon the United States officers hat
aissseged sasetRa,'y to prevent any Vi0lados

How TO KILL ANTs.-As the season has
arrived for those pests, the ants, house
wives and others who are troubled with
them may probably use the following trap
to advantage: Procure a large sponge
wash it we'll and press it dry, which will
leave the cells quite open; then sprinkle
over it some fine white sugar, and place
it where the ants are troublesome. They
will soon collectupon the sponge and take
up their abodcs in the cells. Iti is only nee
essary to dip the sponge in scalding hot
water, which will wash them out dead.
Put on more sugar and the trap for
another haul; this process will soon clear
the house of every ant

the abstract rightfulness of the doctrine;
it would not have the negroes returned
into slavery in any condition; it favors
immigration; it believes in railways, di-
rect trade and internal improvements;
and, above all, it hates the Radical party
with a concentration of enmity that few
in the North, save Wendell Phillips, and
occasionally the late Mr. Raymond, seem
to have fathomed. Some of the leaders
of this new school 1 might mention; but
they are not at present men of any ox,
tended repute outside of their several
States, and the ideas they entertain lack
that cohesion which would make them of
decided Importance just now. If there
be good crop this year, it is rot unlike
ly but that some steps will be taken in
the fall to unite the sentiments OF the
South in some articles of a common creed" 4"

VERY S1NGULAR.--From Bells station,
Tenn, come the particulars of most
singular phenomenon. William Rowell
was struck suddenly deaf and dumb, a
few days ago, when en- route to Memphis
from his place of residence. Out ofmere
sport, when a newsboy came round and
offered him a paper, he feigned to be both
deaf and dumb, and in this way annoyed
tho vender. The newsboy passed on, but
the unfortunate joker never spoke again:
When he began to realize the extent of
his misfortune he got off the train, bound
for Memphis, at Mason's depot, and took
the first return train. On the cars he in
dulged in loud lamentations and cries, as
if sorely distressed. On his arrival home,
as soon as he stepped out on the platform,
he seized pencil and bit OF paper from
citizen, and wrote: "struck dumb on
account of my folly" and continued
weeping in most piteous tones-NashOille
Banner.

THE New SCHOOL OF SOUTHERN POLL
TIc1ANs.-A shrcwd observer of the drift
of politics in the South, is giving his i'm
pressions in q series Of letters to the New
York Void. He sketches the character
istics of new school of politicians who
arc rising up in the Southern States, and
who, he thinks, will ere long control the
destinies of this section. We quote:
"These arc mostly young men, and
tho events of the day are given them a
stern and hard education the country will
yet feel On all points connected with
the past, this new school sits at the feet
of the old. On the abstract righttulness
of secession, on tho bearty OF State sove-
reignty and "what the war was for" tho
young men of the South still listen with
pleasure to the elders. 1t is only when
coming to the question, What is to be
done?" that divergence appears. Here
the old school has but little to propose.
1t can bo eloquent on the past; but when
brought face to face with the future, per-
mits Indignation to obscure its judgment
and paralyze its ability. The now school
is moro practical and moro cool 1t nev-

of the secession idea, its interest in any
discussion of the subject apparently be-
ginning and ending with n justification of

To MAKE SWEET PIoKLEs-A lady cor
respondent Of the Country Gentlemen gives
the following recipe for making sweet
pickles:
Cut the tomatoes through, or if large,
slice in three; let them stand in weak
brine over night. TO quart of vinegar
three pounds of sugar; in this vinegar
cook the tomatoes until fork can easily
be passed through them. AS fast as they
are cooked, take them out with q fork
and lay them down in jar-say two or
three layers of tomatoes; sprinkle pulver-
lied cinnamon and cloves, and thin lay
er of sugar; then alternately tomatoes,
spices and sugar, cooking all the tomatoes
in the same vinegar; if necessary, add
more sugar and vinegar When the jar
is filled, cover the tomatoes with good
cider vinegar cold, throwing away the
vinegar in which tomatoes were cooked.
Lay some horse radish root over the top
of the pickles, and put a weight on to keep
them covered. This recipe Is equally
good for cucumbers. have tested it for
The past two years, and found no trouble
in keeping good pickles.

- Governor Senter, of Tennessee, has
a very insinuating way of canvassing for
votes. He addresses himself to the bet
ter halves of the voters. He concluded a
speech last week as follows: "Ladies, a
word before we part-when the day for
election arrives, get up early, prepare
good breakfast, have the shaving water
and towel ready, let nothing but smiles
and cheertulness possess you, and when
the good man starts for the polls, 60 with
him to the gate, put your arm about his
neck, kiss him, then ask him to vote for
Senter. Again, | thank you"
