objects Of commerce in times of peace, and as
we have no official information that Spain is at
war with any Power excepting Peru and
Chile, it strikes us that the interference of the
Spanish agents here with our lawful trade is
most unjustifable piece of impertinence.
The letter contains remarkable reflection
upon either Secretary Fish or Secretary Bout
well In assuming that orders will come i'm
mediately from Washington to stop the de-
parture Of the ship. Has the Secretary OF
State given any assurances to the Spanish
Minister that Spain will receive favors from
the administration prejudicial to our lawful
trade and unjust to the republican Powers
now at war with Spain? Or is Secretary
Boutwell, disposed to throw the weight of his
official position in favor of the monarchical
side in the great contest now being inaugurated
in America p?

not difficult to reach en- explanation Of the late
developments of negro suffrage in Washington.
The moral suggested is that few more such
manifestations of negro suffrage will be apt to
inaugurate that conflict of races which, when
fairly begun in this country, will only cease
with the disappearance of the African. Nor
will the reckless political carpet-baggers lead
ing him in this direction escape the conse-
quences Of their folly. With Andy Johnson in the
White House these riotous proceedings of tho
Washington blacks would perhaps have re-
suited in terrible scenes of bloodshed. Tho
strong hand Of General Grant within call
maintained comparative order; but still few
more such examples of negro electioneering
may bring negro suffrage to pass beyond the
reach even Of General Grant.

POLICE JUSTICES have come into more than
usual prominence recently through the preva-
lence Of the various minor offences against
good order Of which they have cognizance, and
the public verdict has been that, with the
single exception Of Justice Bowling, their
places might be much better filed. No part
OF the city government is so much a reproach
to us as this and so much neglected by the
people, and there is no point at which tho
rowdyism and violence that are such evils get
so much the encouragement of impunity. We
hope that citizens will watch closely the action
of party men in the nominations for these
places.

RecosnItlou Of Cuba BY Chile.

1t will be seen by our correspondence
published elsewhere to-day that Chile has
followed Peru in recognizing the Cuban repub-
lie as a belligerent Power, and the two
republics have united in instructing their
Ministers at Washington to ask our govern
ment to withdraw the conditions stipulated in
the sale contract for the two Peruvian monitors
now in the West Indies. This request places
the government at Washington in very
peculiar position. It must either withdraw
these conditions or it must detain the thirty
Spanish gunboats now building here for the
Spanish government. There is reason to sup
pose that the war between Spain and the Peru-
vian and Chilean republics will soon blaze out
afresh, with Cuba complication in the waters
of the Atlantic, and serious complications may
follow. We can pursue but one safe and
honorable course in these questions, and that
is to extend to Cuba our recognition of her
rights as a belligerent Power and put both
parties on an equal footing in our ports. In
that way Peru will obtain her monitors, Spain
her gunboats, Cuba the arms she clamors for,
and all parties can proceed to settle their little
unpleasantness after their own fashion. But
for Mr. Fish to insist on imposing conditions
upon the republican efforts while monarchical
Spain is allowed to buy war material and ship
it by every weekly steamer to Havana, and
finally to construct thirty gunboats in our ship
yards unmolested, won't do at all. Republics
have rights as well as monarchies, and we ex-
meet our yery respectable Secretary of State
to admit that fact at once.

than they have done during the whole course
OF the Emperor's reign. A war with Prussia
would rally France around him and stifie all
opposition. If by war he could restore the
boundaries Of 1914, and secure for France the
fowery banks of the Rhine, his dynasty would
be safe. From this point of view the result OF
these elections is alarming 1t makes Euro
pean war almost necessity.

GENERAL GRANT GONG TO THE JUBILEE
General Grant with his family, the Secretary
Of War and others, left Washington last even
ing, On route for West Point, to attend the ap-
preaching examination at the Military Acad-
emy. Thence he win probably proceed direct
to the Boston Peace Jubilee, which will be
opened on Tuesday next, the 18th, and con-
tiDue from day to day till Saturday evening
In the programme the hymn welcoming
General Grant is arranged for Saturday; so it
may be considered that by appointment he will
then appear. After the Jubilee we expect that
the General will make tour, or at least
short excursion or two, to some Of our summer
watering places. Meantime the attention Of
the universe is supposed to be centred in ''the

Cotton Stealing in New York.

A correspondent writes as follows to the
New York Journal of Commerce
Complaint is often made of losses in the
weight of cotton. To-day while looking
out of my Office window 1 cav solution
Of this whole difficulty. Opposite there is
O. cotton warehouse land there are several
others in the neighborhood) and I saw the
thieves stealing the cotton as it came from
the warehouse. The word stealing tells
the whole story All hands steal The
cartmen, the laborers, the samplers, and
women that are hanging around, all steal.
And the warehousemen themselves wink
at it, if they do not profit by this whole
sale stealing, Ii you will spend few min
utes at my Office almost any day you may
witness all that I have detailed above. At
the same time, probably, you may sec a
policeman leisurely walking by ignorant Of
all that is going On. A short time since I
called the attention of policeman to a
case Of cotton stealing, ana he told me
that he would not arrest a cotton thief ii
he saw one in the act. His excuse was
that the Police Justice would not notice
him, and that he would get nothing but
abuse for his pains and that If he persisted
in doing his duty he could not keep his
place three months. This is a dreadful
condition of things. In my neighborhood
are several places where this stolen cotton
is openly bought, and the thieves can be
seen going in and out at all times Of the
day, and their business is no secret. This
city will suffer in its business unless thi'
thing is stopped. It is not safa to send
cotton to New York for sale. I would no
do so and would advise my friends not tx
do so, unless stop could be put to tili
wholesale stealing. = k-~-

THE MEMORIAL MONUMENT
DESIGN. We had the pleasure of inspect
ing at the Office of Maj. M. P. Taylor a
beautiful design for monument in our
Memorial Cemetery, drawn by Maj. Chas.
H. Dimmock, Civil Engineer and Archi
tect, Richmond, Va, and by him pre-
sented to the Ladies' Memorial Association
of this city. This monument is % feet
high and feet wide at the base. 1t is
beautifully proportioned, the uppermost
section being quinquangular in shape.
Upon this section muskets perpendicularly
placed are elegantly carved on all sides.
On the principal lower section appears the
coat of arms of North Carolina, to be set
in bronze. It is proposed that the Con
federate battle and State flags he
carved above on either side. The side Of
the section opposite the coat of arms will
probably contain a tablet with the
names of the dead beneath the monument
and suitable inscription.
We learn that this design has been
adopted by the Association. The com
mittee of gentlemen appointed will be
pleased to receive contributions. The
monument will be constructed of native
granite or red sandstone, and will cost
less than $4,000. The Association has
about 81, 500 in funds now on hand.

Swearing ChinameH.

The trial of All Choy and Ah Sam, now
going on in the District Court, for the
murder of All Sou, says the Silver City
idaho Territory Tidal Wave, is creating
a greater interest than any trial that has
ever occurred here. on account of the
novelty of the method of swearing wit
nesses. A rooster's head is hacked off with
knife, saucer broken, the oath written
on yellow paper, burned, and the smoke,
in which is supposed to be the spirit of the
| burned oath. blown up to heaven in each
case. The prosecution and defense each
swore five witnesses, killed five chick
ems, broke five saucers, burned five pieces
OF paper, etc. After killing the chickens
they are thrown away by the Cinnamon,
and considered unfit for use but having
had their throats cut, nicely bled, etc., the
4 American heathen consider them none the
worse for having been sworn by, and we
confess to having been guilty Of the saeri-
lege of assisting to devour a portion that
was really fat, tender and good to our un,
sanctiied palate.

The Attitude Of Virginia.

In regard to the restoration of Virginia
to tho Union. the New York Tribune edi-
torially says:
"We cannot say what Congress may do
in the premises, and have not assumed to
speak in it's behalf. But this we can say
right heartily, that VIC hope Congress will
promptly and joyfuly encourage Virginia
to resume, under her organization just
effected, that place in the national councils
which she should never have relinquished.
The late vote of her people was the fullest
ever given there was perfect order and
quiet at her polls, and no one was exclu-
ded who was entitled to cast ballot. Her
free republican constitution, with all pro-
scriptions and acknowledgements stricken
out, has been ratified by the largest ma
jority ever given for any constitution OF
any State and we should esteem it grave
public misfortune that such an overture
should be repelled.
"Then you would have the members
elect to the new Legislature admitted to
their seats without taking the ironclad
oath ?"
"Most certainly. This has been allowed
in other States why not in Virginia
Every one should take the oath of fidelity
| to the government and constitution, but
not be required to swear that he nerer gave
| aid or comfort to the rebellion. 1t seems
to us strained construction of existing
laws which requires this. There is nothing
to be gained by shutting out of the reV
Legislature twO-score or so OF the foremos
men of the State, while we could not fai
to lose by it the moral effect of their voting
to ratify the fifteenth amendment. W.
need their votes for this far more thai
they need the seats to which they hav
been elected"

Safe Arrival OF Another Cuban ExpedI-
