REINFORCEMENT FOR CUBA.-It is
highly probable that another expedition
sailed from New York for Cuba, on Satur-
day a-week. At the headquarters of the
Junta they made no secret of the fact that a
clipper ship left that harbor about daybreak
on Saturday morning with eight hundred
and fifty men on board, who .,rofe ssed to be
going on fishing excursion, under COM
mand of Col. VIM. Hendney, of Cincinnati
The vessel cleared for San Francisco, and
received the men from schooners in waiting
near the light ship. Most of the troops are
said to be from the West, and to have seen
service under Sherman

GOVERNOR GEARY have full au-
thority for saying, remarks the Daily 7cle-
graph, that there is not particle of truth
in the recent dispatches from Washington
announcing the appointment of Gov. Gcary
to the Secretaryship of the Navy; there
was not the slightest foundation for them,
beyond the mere rumor that Secretary Borie
contemplated rendering his resignation. and
the fact that Governor Geary, during brief
visit to Washington, called upon President
Grant, between whom and himself there ex-
ISIS the most friendly relations, political and
private. Gov. Geary is not an applicant to
the President fer any position and never has
been. He is candidate for denomination
ior the Chief Masistracy of Pennsylv ania, a
position which he has faithfully filed for
nearly three years past-and which there is
no desb. he will fill with equal ability and
Integrity for thr, e years to come. At pres
ent he has nc ambition beyond this-and
his laudable desire to serve the State viii ne
doubt meet with a hearty response from the
Republican State Convention, in the first
place, and subsequently from the people of
the State at the polls IN October.

MONTGOMERY CoUNTY-A QUESTION.
The Lehigh Register of June 9th says: The
indictments against the election officers in
Montgomery for refusing the votes of those
offering Snowden papers, were settled by
entering nolIe proseqm on each bill. The
question now arises who shall pay the costs
of the Commonwealth in subpenaing wit
nesses, mileage fees, &c. The defendants
are not liable, for they are acquitted. The
prosecutors decline the honor, and the coun-
ty commissioners positively refuse To test
the question of liability suit has been bro t
against the county by the officers serving
subp@nas- Heretofore the practice has
been for the clerk to tax the bills and the
commissioners paid them. The question is
a curious one.

RENINIsGENCE OF MURDERED OFF

passed through the Mexican war and the
war of the rebellion with the commenda-

CoapoUNDING FELoSIEs.- The return of
the stolen money and securities, amounting
to one million dollars, to the Beneficial Sa-
wings Fund Of Philadelphia, has suggested
that the matter was compromised by the
bank officers, the detectives and the thieves.
The Philadelphia Bulletin calls upon the
Grand Jury, now in session, to investigate
the matter, and while it does not as sert that
any crime has been committed it says it does
not believe the thieves made restitution
without some inducement being held out to
them. If the case has been compromised
it holds that the officers of the bank are
guilty of two offenses-misusing the de-
posits and compounding a felony; if the de-
tectives assisted in affecting the compro-
mise they, too, are guilty of two crimes
perjury, in violating their oaths to perform
their duty faithfully, aud participating in
compoundins felony. 1t contends the
Grand Jury has the rower to investigate,
and says: ''rhe subject may properly re-
ceive its attention, for this supposed partner
ship between the detectives and the thieves
is working incalculsble injury, by taking
away that fear Of retribution which should
deter men from outlawry, and by placing a
premium on crime, so that thief knows
that his Immunity will be greater in precise
proportion to the gigantic character of his
offense." This practice of compromising
great robberies is not confined to Philadel-

Last year the Democratic State govern
ment of tax-ridden Maryland expended over
sac hundred thousand dollars for militia
purposes. The taxes of this State are al
ready about three times as great as those of
Pennsylvania, and at this rate farm across
the border will in few years hardly be worth
taking as present, Let our Pennsylvania
farners-who through Republican admin
istration hold their farms exempt and free
reflect on the meaning and consequences of
having Democratic Governor and Legisla

Correspondence.

ELIZABETH Cry, n. C., June 5, 1869.
EDITOR JoURNAL:-Thinking another
letter from this place would not be devoid
of interest, write again. This city is beau
tifully located on the Posquotank river, an
arm of Albemarle Sound II has mag
nificent harbor from which there is a brisk
and rapidly growing shipping trade to all
parts of the world The city is surrounded
by as beautiful country as the sun shines
upon. The people are open hearted and
hospitality is pre- eminent among them.
The corn is, some of it, nearly knee high
and the cotton ready for working. Clover
cutting has commenced and wheat harvest
will begin in few days. We have plenty
of new potatoes and beans, and whortleber-
ries are abundant. To day | ate the first
ripe apple of the season grown here.
The land here is adapted for nearly all
kinds of crops and is fertile and durable.
Corn, potatoes, cotton, peas, grass, wheat,
oats, all can be raised at great profit, and
the facilities -or market are superior to any
country | ever knew The price of land va.
ries from SO to $25 per acre according to
the Improvements. Before the war this
same land varied at from $50 to $50.
Since the war we have had no newspaper
here. Before there were two, at one time
four. A paper is about to be started. DIR.
John, late editor and publisher of the Co
tumbia County Republican, at Bloomsbury,
Pa. has arrived with new presses, types and
fixtures and will issue the first number of
the North CoroHnian on the Ist of July.
1t will be the largest paper in the State and
from tie known ability of the Doctor have
no doubt i. will be the ablest and best Per
sons from the North wishing reliable news
from this region would do welfto subscribe
for it. The price will be 81 year.
The Manufacturing. Loan ond Trust Com
pany open their Banking House on the l4th,
and the North Carolina Land and Lumber
Company viii have their first mill running
here by the lst of October.
There are magnificent opportunities here
for investments in land, lumber and town
property. My advice to Northern men is
come and see this country, and do it before
all these opportunities pass away.
Hastily yours, j. G. r.

SENATOR SpRAGUE's panacea for all the
grievances under which the country labors,
is the invention or adoption of some system
or policy of government by which the people
can be supplied with all the money they
want on easy terms; in reference to which
the Brooklyn Eagle says: at can hardly
fail to be received with favor, and if it be
practical Sprague ought to secure his right
to it by letters patent and make an immense
fortune, as he surely would. %

Progress of Economy.

The new. from Washington indicates
that the eeonomising porcess is being appIi-
ed with inexorable fidelity in the several de-
partments of the General Government. Ex-
penses are being cut down to the lowest
notch as fast as they can be beoverhauled; and
what ever appears to be unnecessary is re
morselessly cut off. Such is the rule OF
course some things will be overlooked the
first time the ground is gone over; but c
are assured the fixed inteation is that not a
dollar shall be paid out unnecessarily The
expense attending the collection of the in
ternal revenue is being overhauled. Each
officers expenses will be looked into,
with the view of Topping off what ian be
dispensed with. With vast army of Rev.
enue officers, scattered all over the country,
the aim in many instances being to pay off
personal and party favorites it is easy to
see that this must be field inviting the
pruning hook and the sickle. While the
expenses are thus being cut down, increas-
ed faithfulness in collecting the revenue is
telling ON the receipts into the Treasury.
AHu IL II Hcfe that VIC U1u the cS pIdnatlOD
of the fact, that since the GRANT admins
tration came in the National Debt has been
reduced more than t,ccnty millions Of dol
lars. Still the wheels have scarcely begun
to revolve. Nevertheless the expenses of
the government have been brought down to
the rate of 1926, 900, 900 per annum, and
this too. with the Indian question unsettled
and extraordinarily expensive, and the
South, by reason of its unsettled condition,
making large drafts. Right here it will be
well to recall to mind the assertion which
the late Mr HoRATIo SEYMOUR travelled
through the country to reiterate, that the
least we could expect would be $500, GOO, 600
annually. We yet expect to see the differ
snee between the Seymour Romance and
the Grant Reality not less than two hun
dred millions of dollars. And all this
without any fuss or parade. What Kind of
President will Grant make? is thus being
answered; and to the entire satisfaction of
the people, too, We opine.

LEGISLATIVE CONVENTION.

AN IMPORTANT DIsCOvERY.-The recent
discovery of a vein OF pure anthracite coal
nine feet in thickness is causing considera-
speculative excitement at Buffalo Gap, Va,
and along the line of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad. 1t has long been known
that inexhaustibe deposits of iron ore ex-
isted in this region; but they were only
worked very slightly before the war, on &c
count of the scarcity of the proper fuel
This discovery of anthracite within half
mile of the great line of railway which will
soon connect the Ohio with the James by
the shortest route is matter of the greatest
interest to Washington, Richmond and Nor
folk, all of which cities are obliged to draw
upon Philadelphia for their supplies.
