THE CUBAN REvoLuTIoN.-The Cubans in Wash
ington have received advices which confirm previ-
GUS reports of the prevalence of cholera and fever
among the Spanish troops. The mortality is said
to be very great in several portions of the island
Their line Of communication is cut off, and they
are suffering for want Of food and medicine. The
Spanish army have lost since the commencement
of the revolution more than half their force in
battle, and by disease and desertion. The Span
iards have been concentrating in the Cinco Villas
district, and collisions are of almost daily occur
renee. The reinforcements which were sent from
Camazuego attacked the Cubans, and were defeat
ed. They were compelled to retreat, with loss
of over three hundred killed and wounded. The
loss of the Cubans was less than one hundred. The
Cuban force from Sagua Ia Grandes attacked the
Spaniards near Palmedas defeated large fo,ce of
regulars and volunteers, and captured the town,
with the provisions and arms which were stored
there. The expedition which landed at Nneras
Grandes succeeded il joining the main body of the
Cuban army with but little difficulty. It number
ed six hundred men, all in good health and spirits
They were received with great rejoicing. The Gu
ban army is said 10 be in good fighting condition,
and their leaders are determined TO follow up
their recent victories, and are confident of their
success. They have as yet suffered but little from
disease, as they occupy elevated and healthy posi-
tions some distance from the ooast.

THE STATE BOARD OF EoUALIzATIoN.-The Fair
field Herald says that Section 81 of the assessment
act provides for the election Of Board of Eqaal-
zhtion "at the general election" and prescribes
that said Board shaN meet at Columbia on the fourth
Monday of December 1868, and the members
thereof shall each take an oath or affirmation,
&C., SC.
Gov Scott, having failed to give notice Of the
election and consequently there having been no
election, by resolution approved March 2oth' the
Governor is required to .fll the existing vacancies
in the State Board of Equalization by appoint
ment."
This resolution, however, fails TO appoint day
for the meeting of the Board to take the oath of
office; and it being impossible for them TO have met
on the fourth NIonday of December last, there is
no authorty for their meeting at all, and all Of
their actions, therefore, have been without war
rant of law, null and void.

SOLOMON L.. EoGE.-A correspondent Of the
Char,ea on Courier writing from Columbia, gives
the following information concerning the above
named individual. We would suggest to lIoes that
he quiz Congress and devote himself exclusively to
law, as he might obtain an extensive practice in
defending the poor negroes among whom crime is
sadly on the increase. His benevolent f?) dsposi-
tion would embrace wide field, and the recon-
pense of doing that much good would atone in
some measure for the dupiicity and cunning ras-
cality heretofore practiced by him upon tho major
ity of that race in this Congressional District:
The public has been informed of Congressman
Hoge and Whittemore being admitted by Judge
Boo.er to practice law in the Courts of this State.
On motion, Hoge was admitted, and he then gets
Judge B. to appoint himself, his brother in Jaw,
Rymkle, and Probate Judge Wigg, to examine
Whittemore 1t turrs up DO such examination WAS
held, but that WHittemore had passed through Co.
lum6ia some two weeks BEFORE ut which time Hoge
is presumed to have talked over few points of law
with the "Reverend," and tells him he will fix it
up with Judge Boozer, and the public will never
know that he has not been regularly admitted.
Hoce will remain here, while Whittemore will
practice in Darlin ton. The latter is known as an
indefatigable worker, and as he has afne voice and
rather good looking, will probably succeed in what
he and Hoge have agreed upon-to defend negroes
who have no means to employ counsel, hoping by
thus casting bread on the waters TO reap reward
at the next election. Hoge defended Louisa Will
son, (colored,) indicted for murder st the last
Court, and he impressed it upon the jury, who
were all negroes, and the Court House was
crammed with them too, that he was defending o
peuniess woman, and what he was working for,
was iustce mercy land office y

THR VIGILANCE COMMITTEE AT WoRK.-We
learn from the Kansas City CMo.) Journal OF
Commerce that on Tuesday night confidence
man, named Harry Howard, was chased by
the Vigilance Committee from Harlem to the
ferry boat Lizzie Campbell, where he was
caught and terribly dealt with. rope, with
a heavy stone attached to one end, was tied
around his neck, and then he was thrown
overheard into the river. He managed to Tree
himself from the stone, and, floating TO the
rear Of the boat, caught hold Of the rudder.-.
He was, however, seen by the committee, and
fred upon six times. He doubtless was struck
for he loosened his hold and dropped down in
to the stream. He has not been heard
since. Whether he is dead or not is un
known.
The organization Of vigilance committee il
Harlem appears to show that there must u
some cause for it. When town become
infested with thieves and law breakers, an
no officers within six miles Of the scene OF thei
operations, it is natural for honest, quiet Peo
pie to protect themselves. We are no adVe
cate OF mob law, and lament that there shoul
, ever be a need Of its dreadful exercise
We understand that man by the name
, James Kelley was with the unfortunate HowaI
and that they had been seen together in Il
afternoon trying their little confidence gan
upon some stranger in Harlem. Kelley W
also seized by the Vigilants; but, it is sal
{ that falling upon his knees he begged earnes
3 ly for mercy. His life was spared upon u

GFrom the London tontl Free Press.
A curious scene was yesterday forenoon
enacted at the residence of Mr.. Artemus
Wrighlman, Hamilton road, near Duffield's
oil refinery II was all brought about by an
unfortunate young man, whose tender affec-
uons had heen trifled with; and the way of
it was this. Some months ago comely
young damsel, named Matilda Nelson, OF
this neighborhood, went TO Detroit 10 enter
employment, and there met young man
named Nicholas KingswOrth, who was at
once smitten by her attractions, and at the
end of long and tedious courtship of three
weeks duration, proposed marriage
| His angel, however, would listen TO no
such suggestion. She could not reciprocate
his devotion, and would absolutely decline
TO become party to the contract with him.
This decision OF hers, Instead of subdulng
the ardor OF his love, as might be expected,
only served TO inflame II still more, and in
spire him with such perversiy that he wonlc
not take no for an answer. In fact, he &c
persisted in his demands that the young wo
man was obliged TO leave the city, and oil
Tuesday last returned 10 London to get rlt
OF his opportunities, and went 10 reside Will
/ her sister, Mrs Wrightman. As soon a
q KingswOrth heard OF her flight he came IL
] pursuit, and yesterday, having ferretted ou
q her place oil abode, went thither in compan.
. | with couple Of friends. He found tho tw'
+. women alone, and approaching Miss Nelso
$ repeated his request that she should MARI
d him. She refused again, aud ordered hil
If TO leave the house. He then, apparently
10 a fit of desperation, laid violent hands upo
d her, and was proceeding TO avenge his faI
50 cied wrongs by crushing her TO death in b
10 brawny embrace, when he was prevented
the interference Of her sister, whom he
ie turn attacked in spirit OF frenzy. He thel
assisted by one of his companions, one H
er ley, entered the girls bedroom, and, sci
,u ing her apparel, which consisted of sever
sk new dresses, and such etceteras as are pr
l. sumed to be found in girls wardrob
lie brought them out into the street, and 10
y, them into fragments, which he stamp
IT, upon in the fullness of his rage. He al
y, took out her trunk, an expensive leath
al one, and broke II in pieces, scattering I
ia contents. The damage which he efteete
Hn exclusive OF the bodily injuries inflicted up
en- the two women, would exceed $50. He th
,ht savagely took his leave followed by his 7
to crOnies, while the women applied to
he 0wrey TOR warrants against the trio. Il
all evening two of them were arrested;
k's KIngsworth could nowhere be found. II '
NJ said that he had taken his departure by
evening train, in order to escape the con
IA quences of his rashness.

the lobby system. The story runs that long
time ago-that is, comparatively long time-a
measure was pending in the Connecticut egis-
iature, in which large private interests were
Involved, and over which there had then been
a long fight in committee, continuous and per-
sistent lobbying, and lavish expenditure Of
money. 1t had passed the House and come
into the Senate. Careful canvassng of the
twenty-one statesmen Of that body, showed ten
