Cuba will be a good radiance to

have it if we want it. The question,
then, is whether our want is cer-
tain as our welcome; and we coin
eide with the British opinion that

chase of Cuba. Have we any wis b

1T Is said that a prominent of
feet of the Government says the
South hss at least $40,000,0O0 in
money. If this is a correct estimate
the South is much better off than
the public supposed ; and the east
ern markets and western merchants
will soon begin to feel tho effect of
this capital. The Southern trade
with New York city had revived
eaough last spring to make the
Metropolitan dealers quite independ-
ent and free from the troubles caused
by hard Zines. The Southern coun-
try is in fair way to prosper as it
never did before, and if the question
Of labor can be settled SO as to pre-
vent hindrance and delay in gather
ing the crops, the "sunny South"
will not be long in regaining her
former strength and riches.

speedily become towns and villages if the peo-
pie of New York could only reach them. AS
il Is. the growth of Westchester County is linn
tied to rich men, who have leisure and wealth.
The poorer classes cross the ferries and cluster
along the New-Jersey and Long Island rail
roads. AS consequence, we hear constantly
of new settlements in NewJersey and Long
Island while Westchester seems to pause.
Build this road, or any road that will make
travel sure and speedy, and Westminster Will
become the grandest suburb in the world
We are so glad to see any serious attempt
to solve this great problem, that we are happy
to give the Elevated Railway Company
cordial welcome. In a few years we shall nave
the Underground Railway running from the
Battery, striking the Harlem River, and redue-
ing the time to White Plains. That will be a
vast enterprise, and we wish it well. We think a
higher rate of speed will be obtained on the
Underground Railway, as the locomotive may
whirl along at forty miles an hour But we do
not imagine that it can be finished in less
than three years, and certainly not at less
cost than seven or eight million OF dollars.
The builders will have to hew their way, in
many places, through solid rock. The Elevated
Company proposes to build and equip its road
as far as Thirtiethst for 100000. The stock
holders have already spent good deal of money
in building the section on Greenwch-st, and
making the numerous experiments that led to
success, and they now ask the citizens to sub
scribe for 100000 of First Mortgage Convert
IDLE Bonds, payable in fifteen years, to enable
them to complete the enterprise. The enter
prise is worthy of the earnest attention OF
every person whose business or pleasure re-
oures them to ride through the city.

THE RISING SUN.

Before the sun really rises, the heavens are
tinted with his coming radiance. Before the
leaves of June we have the buds of May. The
bright, fresh, gladdening influences of Spring
fore-run the fruitful months of Summer. Gen.
Grant is not yet President of the United
States, but his power is already felt. Since it is
known that he is opposed to reckless railroad
subsidies, it is surprising what a great party
has sprung up in favor of economy. Ills dis
approval of the Reverdy Johnson treaty has de-
veloped great indignation at the Anglo-Southern
Rebels. In no place have we felt the coming
of this new administration more vlyldIy than
in the City Of New-York.
Read, for instance, the modest little para
graph that we dig out of the columns of yes
terday's TRIBUNE:
"THE WHISKY RISG-It has been reported to District.
oDerticn in this city Several Of the prOm.
nent whisky men under Indictment have fed, and
wiisIv nen under Indictment 10 trial. and in arresng
Others prominent in the business, has struck terror 70 inc
Whisky King"
Those who know with what patience we
labored with Mr.. Courtney and the officers OF
the Revenue for two or three years to bring
to justice the offenders against the law, will
appreciate this happy announcements what we
could not do-what even the combined force
of public opinion could not accomplish-has
been done by the shadow of Gen. Grant. SO
long as Mr.. Johnson was President and there
was q doubt as to who would succeed him,
days and weeks and months passed, and indict-
ments grew moldy in Mr.. Courtney's pigeon
"holes,n and the Internal Revenues were
collected within about one hundred millions OF
their true amount. All that we saw OF the
law, or any Of its ministers, was the Collector
of the Fourth District. Several of the promi-
"nent whisky men now under indictment have
"fledn They do not fly from Mr.. Courtney or
the courts, but from the terror of this Rising
SUM- Down in the Thirty second District, the
Bankers and Brokers for years have been pay
ing in their assessments upon nominal capital,
and forgetting to account for the most inn
portant part of their liabilities. But the sun
of Grant looms over the horizon and we find
great excitement on Wall st. between the
Assessor and the taxpayers. Mr.. Webster
thoroughly appreciates the Rising Sun. His
prompt energy is even more cOmmendable than
that of Mr.. Courtney for while Mr.. Courtney
has been in Office for years, Mr.. Webster is new
to his position.
We perfectly agree with our Reporter "that
something has struck terror to the Whisky
ring" but we fear we cannot apply his
commentator to our istrct-AttOrney. For
all that Mr.. Courtney Is doing now, we tender
him our sincerest thanks, as well as the thanks
of the public; but we are by no means willing
shat he should take these few busy weeks
duty and upon it base a record OF faithful
land efficient public service" This record, we
fear does not belong to him, and the time is
now too short to make it.

A pleasing incident in the midst of the
queer doings in the Hall of the House, yester-
day, was the revelation of the fact that the
State of Maryland had rejected the young
Missouri reprobate by the name of Blair, ana
cast her electoral vote for the venerable Sage
of Silver Springs. The State that knows them
best is evidently sound on the great Blair
question. If she must vote for one of them,
she is determined not to select the one who,
in the common way of life, may be supposed
likely TO last the longest. Between Francis
and Francis jr., there is difference of thirty
or forty years, constituting thirty or forty dis
tinct reasons why Maryland preferred " the
" old man" for the ePresidency. This, we
take it, is the true though hitherto hidden
meaning of that sage remark of Montgomery's,
that the ticket was wrong end up. His own State
has taken his hint. Maryland puts 1t right

GOOD NEWS FOR WESTMINSTER.

We have at last a living sign of tho Coming
Railway that is to carry the laborng man from
his place of toll on the Battery to his place of
homo and rest twelve miles away, in less time
than it now takes him to creep up to Central
Park. The West Side Elevated Railway Com
pany has made its arrangements to run its track
as far as Thirtieth-st. 1t has its charter and
its organization, and already half mile in
operation along tho lower part of Greenwich
st. This half mile was duly tested by Commits
soners appointed by Coy. Fenton-men enjoy
ing the confidence of tho community
and they found that it could be "oper-
"ated with safety and dispatch" The road
has been through the courts, at the bidding of
greedy rich men, and the courts find that the
plan is legal and in exact compliance with tho
terms of the statute A Committee of the SEN
ate-sitting in conference with Mayor Hoffman
and Mr.. Craven advertised for railway plans.
About forty were submitted The Committee
did not think it feasible to attempt to obtain
high rate of speed upon surface rails. The
plan Of tho Elevated Railway Company was
examined, and the Committee reported that it
was "most free from engineering difficulties
"involvng the question of safety, and the least
Objectionable as to the application of the mo-
"lve power" They recommended the adop-
ton of the plan to the Legislature, and the
charter was granted.
AS we understand the plan of this Company,
It is now proposed to build single track with
two turn-outs. or side tracks, between the Bat
terry and Thirtieth-st. The road will run upon
iron supports, about twenty feet above the pave
ment. Instead of locomotive power, it is pro-
posed to run an endless chain, moved by sta
tionary engines, to which the cars will be at
tached. 1t now takes fifty minutes, at least,
to go from the Battery to the Hudson River
Depot on Thirtieth-st.; and we fancy there are
few merchants who do not, when DESTROYS of
catching a special train, give themselves an
hour. This company claims to be able TO re-
duce that time to twenty minutes, 80 that the
time saved in moving through tho city will
take the traveller oil the way to YOnkers An
hour and half saved every day to the busy
man Ia money--and not only money, but COM
fort aud rest. He can have an hour extra for
garden work. or reading, or home affairs ten
or twelve per cent more of real life given to
him, and, what most Of our merchant princes
need, opportunity to see their children occa-
sionally and become better acquainted with
their wives. Those are personal and domestic
considerations. Any road that diminishes the
distance between the City Hall and Tarrytown
will add vastly TO the value of the ever-in-
crcasing property IN Westchester County.
There arc large districts of fine territory within
twenty miles of NewYorh, between tho lIud-
son Railway and the Harlem, that would

The intelligence forwarded to us by tele-
praph from our special correspondent at Ha-
vapa is startling only in so far as it shows in
n clearer light than ever the widespread and
constantly growing character of the insurrec-
ton. The whole Island, to use his forclble
expression, proves to be undermined with re-
volt. Beginning at obscure points in the ex-
IRENE eastern Jurisdictions of Bayamo and
Santiago de Cuba, it has spread westward till
it seizes railroads midway to Havana,
breaks out Unexpectedly and simulta-
neously on both northern and southern
coasts, and causes popular outbursts so dan
gerously near the capital as at Matanzas. lt
is even reported that the insurgent commander
operating on the railroad lines about villa
Clara has seven well-armed regiments under
him, deficient only in artillery. If this be true,
the Captain General may well repeat his calls
on the Home Government for more troops
He is already forced to rely on volunteers III
numerous important places, and is believed to
have little excepting the local militia to sus-
tain him in the capital itself
