Since the annexation of Cuba has
become SO prominent a question in
the United States many are asking
of what commercial value Cuba
would be to us.
Answers to these questions may be
given by condensed statement OF
her population, wealth and CONNER.
cial resources:
The census of the island is taken
every ten years, the last being i'm
1862, and the population that year
numbering 100000. OF these 600,.
600 were negroes and 000,o whites.
OF the white population but 10000,
including the army and women and
children, were Spaniards, the re-
manning $50, 900 being natives of the
isle. OF these latter $4,000 were
women, 215, 900 children and aged
persons, and 2l0, 900 able-bodied men
capable of bearing arms. OF the
COG, 900 negroes it said that 90, 900 of
them ut least are able to fight with
the insurgent army. In the same
year (lS62) the productions OF the
island amounted to $500, 600, 900. -
The taxes derived OH duties amount
ed to So, 45O, 900; the exports to A.
400. 900, making total of exports
and imports of loo, $780, 900. The pres
emit trade amounts to over $40, 900, 900
per annum. The value of rural
wealth in 1862 was 1881 900, 900;
wealth of towns and cities, $l20. 900 ;
and the wealth of industry and COM
merce amounted to STA ,000, 900. The

whilst enc or two are particularly
noted for their brilliant stealings in
the Indian ring, and stand a better
chance of being struck by lightning

senting this State in the United
States Senate
Col. Allison, Representative in
Congress of ourThird District; Hon.
+. III. Williams, of Clayton county (;
Hon. George G. Wright, one of the
Justices of the Supreme Court; and
Hon. James f. Wilson, late men,
Der of Congress, are the gentlemen
from whom the choice would be like
ly to be made, if made now. The
South having always had both Sen
ators, it is likely that Northern Iowa,
where we get our largest maorities,
will insist upon the Senatorship.-
The question of locality is, of itself,
of little value. but it is not to be sup.
posed that all the talents of this State
lie in the Southern part. Judge vii.
lians, though little known out of
Iowa, aud not much known to the
general public in the southern half CT
the State, is yet without a superior,
i'm intellectual power, in the whole
commonwealth. In personal and po-
litical integrity, personal and polite
al independence, he is the peer of
any man on earth. Unreflecting
minds might, therefore, wonder why
he Is unknown in the political world.
To such / have to say that Iowa is
no exception to the general rule, and
here, as elsewhere, il is not the best
and greatest men that get the offices.
/ do not know that Judge Williams
would ever consent to become Uni
ted States Senator. / know he would
not at the expense of scramble for
the place. Judge Wright has been
on the Supreme Bench for many
years. He has many earnest friends,
particularly among the 'old settlers"
and the lawyers in all parts of the
State. He is not man of fine abil-
tiles and great radiance, but one of
the most agreeable gentleman in So
cial life between the Missouri river
and sun-up. OF Col. Allison and
Mr.. Wilson. / need not speak, for
the reason that their public services
are known and read of by all men of
intelligence.
OF course other gentlemen, no less
worthy than these, will be talked of,
and some of them brought into can
vass. The State has been 80 long
ably represented by Mr.. Grimes,
than whom, as we think, there is not
more potential man in the national
legislation, that the feeling in favor
of taking q strong man for his sue
cessor, and whistling the games of the
political gamesters down the wind,
is not only general but universal
among the body of the Radicals Of
