1t seems to be settled that there
is no law to prevent the Perit from
repeating her venture and landing
another cargo OF arms for the Cubans.

all difficulties arising cut of Cuba's

-MackereI have been quite plenty
of thiA1AOre the past week, and the
seiners have made some pretty good
hauls. One vessel belonging to this port

wash barrels. None of the Southern

1t is to be regretted, says an ex-
change, that there has never been
made, under any auspices, national,
State, or metropolitan, a collection of
American newspapers. Every one
who has read the foOt-nOtes of Ma
eauiay's " History Of Englandp knows
what use he has made of the ballads
and political pamphlets which were
at one time q substitute for news
papers. It is the custom at present to
preserve in the British Museum copies
of all journals published III Great
Britain. a provision of the Internal
Revenue law eEaeta that the publisher
Of each paper shall send to the Inter
nal Revenue Department copy of
each issue of his journal.

Gov. Sans, of Porto Rico, not re-
ported to be a brilliant ruler, has the
task upon him of defending Porto Ri
co with a little more than brigade of
troops. The Cubans and Porto Ricans
have, therefore, a fair opportunity of
exploding the Spanish establishment
in the island, and of creating the
shreWdest diversion possible in favor
of the patriots under Quesada. Block
ade-runners viii have a better chance
than ever of shipping aid to the insur-
rection now that the squadron of Spain
has two islands to watch instead Of
one. The general West Indies now
manifest their convenient sympathy
with the islanders. The fact of insur-
rection in Porto Rico is, in good part,
a sign Of the success of the cause in
Cuba.
Senator Thayer, of Nebraska, in
reply to inquiries of the agent of the
Associated Press, with reference to
the communication of Senator Grimes,
in the London Times, says that Sena-
tor Sumner did not express desire to
have the Injunction of secrecy re-
moved from his speech on the john
son-ClarendOn treaty, but that Sena-
tor Chandler, Immediately on the
conclusion of it, made a motion for
the purpose, which was agreed to
unanimously. No other speech was
made, but several gentlemen briefly
expressed their concurrence in the
views presented, and the impression
at the time was that the speech was
unanimously endorsed, with, perhaps,
the exception of the Senator who cast
the only vote in favor Of the treaty.
Immediately following its rejection,
Mr.. Motley was unanimously con-
firmed as Minister to England.
The New York Std9 Is of the opin-
ion that the fourteenth amendment to
the Constitution of the United States,
when critically examined, means prac-
tically nothing, and for the following
reasons: The thirteenth amendment
prohibits the existence OF slavery, and
provides that Congress shall have pow
er to enforce its provisions by appro-
pirate legislation. The fourteenth
cOnfers the rights Of citizenship on all
persons born or naturalized in the
United States, and subject to the juris-
diction thereof, and declares that no
State shall abrfdge the privileges or
immunities of citizens, nor deprive
