The Herald's London special saws
"The Post has an article on the Gu
ban question and gives currency to
the assertion that Grant desires the
acquisition of Cuba, in order to di>
vert the attehtion of the Americans
from internal distraction. 1t says
there would be no doubt as to the is.
sue of the conflict. 1t thinks the
acquisition of Cuba would lead to q
final acquisition of the whole West
Indies. France and England will
doubtless determine whether these
designs against Cuba will be tolera
ted, and aid Spain in retaining her
colony. The French press has agi-
tated the question much in the same
tenor, and special meetings of the
French Cabinet held on Tuesday and
Wednesday, resulted in a special En-.
voy being sent yesterday to London,
with dispatches referring to the pres
ent complication of events.

DOG LAw.-The late amendments
to the new tax laws revive the old
law for taxing dogs, though it was
doubtless meant to repeal all laws
relating to the matter. The Sec
rotary of State, says in pamphlet of
instructions to assessors the amend>
ments give no authority to assessors
or supervisors to exempt the owners
of dogs from paying taxes for them.
Considering the marked increase of
dogs and of worthless ones since the
cessation of the dog law, we hope it's
revival will have the usual effect, to
insure the slaughter of three-fourths
of them.

The London Papers on Cuba and the Uni
ted States.
NEW YoRK Anril %.

New York, April %.
The Herald's London special says
"The London papers of to-day com
ment very freely on the present state
of affairs in Cuba The Telegraph,
Ministerial organ of moderate tone,
says that in regard to the independ-
ence of Cuba, England is unbiased,
but at the same time admits that
England's interest can be best subs
served by Spain retaining her au>
thority in the Island. The article
does not say, however, that in any
case it should be the business of Eng
land to interfere, to prevent Cuban
independence, but it maintaines that
the good offices of England might
prove useful to avert quarrel be-
tween Spain and America. 1t des-
ignates the seizure of the ship Mary
Lowell as mad act, duplicating
England, SPANS best friend, unless
the latter country offers reuaration
for the insult. The article then goes
on to argue that the Cubans can new !,
er willingly attach themselves TO the
United States"
"The London Oa0l of this morning
also has its say on Cuban matters.-
1t thinks that England and France
would declare war if America at
tempts to wrest the island of Cuba
from Spain. President Grant, says
the O,0l, longs for foreign war,
knowing, as he does, that the feeling
at present pervading American Of
ticials is an intense hatred to England
and, though in less degree, to
France"
ut is stated that in day or two
a yacht will be dispatched from here
to Cuba, on mission from the Gov.
eminent, to ascertain the exact po-
sition of affairs there. The belief il
that heavy storm is brewing, which
may yet occasion much trouble"
The Iribune's Montreal specia
says: 1.-THE order for the withdraw.
al of the British troops from Canada
in May next, is said by well informed
persons to be held in allegiance for 1
while. There will be, however, con,
siderable changes in the military sta
tons, and one change both curioul
and unaccountable is the transfer O
troops from Montreal to Quebec
which has been ordered. The gen.
eral order from the Horse Guards
directing the return of the regiments
to England and to foreign stations
has never boen withdrawn, and con.
siderable uncertainty prevails il
consequence. The dispatch from
London, saying the United State
has made demand upon the British
Gov eminent for on explanation O
the Mary Lowell affair, is locked up
on as another speck of war.
"The French Canadians continu,
to leave for the United States.
"The anpexation question is still
agitated with spirit"

of few farms. But still not a man
would now forego the road in ex.
change for what he paid and not
have the railroad.
The road has since improved the
value of all property more than
twenty fold and the people are now
the richest in the county. And
what would be 5000, 900 or even half
a million to the people of the inter
Tor of the county, if the amount were
divided round by taxing men in pros
portion to assessed valuation. Es-
pecially would the sum be of small
inconvenience were the whole divi>
ded into three yearly instalments.
These thoughts may induce ADLER
ones from others, and we shall be
glad to publish them. The rich and
poor alike are interested and if we
are to have railroad at. all through
the interior of the county it may as
we'll be started very soon. Whose
writ views shall next appear in

The IMPERIALIsT.-An new weekly
paper, in size and style resembling
The Round Table, has just appeared
in New York, bearing the title of
Thei Imperialist 1t pronounces Re-
publican institutions as a failure and
advocates on imperial form of Gov>
eminent. The paper is believed to
be established and published, at the
expense of certain New York Deme
ocrats, for political purposes, just as
the "Miscegenation" pamphlet was
produced some years ago. 1t is now
known that the pamphlet was writ
ten and published by Democrats
The pamphlet was used as text for
Democratic writers and speakers
They pointed to il as an indication
of the tendencies of the Republican
party. The ImperialiSt is obviously
decoy of tho same character. 1t
urges imperialism in order to make
sure of the payment of the national
debt, and the Democratic papers are
fulfilling their part ofthe programme,
by quoting its utterances and en-
ploying them to excite prejudice
against the bondholders. The bond
holder is man who has loaned mis-
money on the faith and credit of the
national Government, the original
bondholder is a man who loaned his
money to the Government at time
when the Democratic leaders were
predicting the downfall Of the Gov
eminent and pronouncing its bonds
worthless !; hence the continued hos
tility of the party that sympathized
| with the rebellion towards the bond
holder and the extraordinary means
it adopts to make the term bondhol
der odious TO the people.
