The prospects of the Cubans are Frightening
One of the most important facts which has yet
occurred since the beginning of the revolution
is the charge brought against the Governors of
two districts, Trinidad and Villa Clara, of dis
loyalty to Spain and completely with the
Cubans. The same charge is brought against
the commander of the forces near Remedies
Four companies of one Spanish battalion are
reported to have actually joined the Cubans,
aud the advance guard of the Spanish Gen.
Letona is said to have suffered a de-
feat near CienfuegOs. All this indicates
the spread of demoralization among the Spanish
forces in that part of the island where the
| largest forces of Spaniards and of the Cubans
are confronting each other-in the Districts OF
Remedies, Sagua la Grande, Villa Clara, Trini-
dad, and in general the western section OF the
Central Department. That the Cubans are
unanimous in their sympathy with the revolu-
ton, admits no longer of any doubt; and they
only want better supply of artillery and
more effective organization to become masters
of the situation. If, as is again reported,
several expeditions from the United States,
well supplied with arms, have recently landed
in Cuba, their presence will soon make itself

IN AMERICAN YEAR BOOK.

A book with the above title is just issued
from the press of 0. d. Case a. Co., Hartford,
Conn. edited by David n. Camp, e24 pages.
II is the first of series, one volume OF which
is to be published every year. The subjects
treated relate to the general interests OF
our country, and it may be defined to be an
almanac ON a most extended scale. Similar
works have been printed in this country, but
now discontinued and also in England. Still,
none good as they were, have embraced so
many subjects relating to the important con-
Germs of life and of advanced society. We give
partial summary of the contents: Astronom-
cal tables including siderial calculations; hsts
of officers of the United States Government from
its first organization to the present time; lists
of the Governors and other officers of the sew
eral States and Territories for corresponding
periods: the salaries and duties of the same (;
our foreign ministers, army and navy hsts,
proceedings of Congress, Reconstruction, Con-
stitutional Amendments, National political plat
forms. census statistics, cities, concise accounts
Of different countries, election returns, rehgl-
GUS statistics of the whole world, our
colleges our schools and school funds ana
the important events and deaths OF the past
wear. Most of these subjects are treated with
AN extention of detail which leaves little to be
desired. Besides, there are four essays on the
following subjects: The Progress of Agricul-
ture, Currency and Finance, Mining and Lit
erature, and the Literary Influences of the day.
This book contains much that every man
would like to know, and more than any one
man ever did know The labor bestowed must
have been immense, and it gives better col
lectiye view of the progress and material re-
sources of our people than any other complla-
ton. Had the ancients, whose civilization
some profess to admire, possessed the art or the
industry to have made such a collection, we
would be better able to judge of the extent OF
that civilization, or, more properly, how limited
it was. 1t is certain that historians and writers
of all kinds depend more upon facts than
formerly, perhaps because we have them, and
future writer's will refer to this volume as the
beginning of series which form the frame
work of statistical knowledge.

the canny darkeys to get their moneys worth,
their satisfaction in receiving what is their
own, Justify its enforcement The afternoons
are spent in recitation, the evenings in study.
From the more advanced classes are detailed
teachers for tho schools of lower grade, of
which there are three or four in Hampton.
Under the superintendent OF white principals
these pupil-teachers evince remarkaDle ca
pacity. In the school, habits of personal clean
illness, order, and refinement are enforced.
The instructive love of color, of music, OF or
nament, is encouraged. Class-rooms and lodg-
ing-rooms are pleasant, with cheap pictures,
sunshine, and exquisite cleanliness AT the end
of the four years. course there Will go OUT
from this school not only so many teachers Oh
common English branches, but so many farm
ers, carpenters, seamstresses, cooks, housewives
many men and women who have learned the
value of skilled labor, who have hved
i'm clean and thrifty ways, who nave
caught something of the grace and fineness OF
culture; who see, if they do not wholly under
stand, the use of beauty. Every one of these
Normal School scholars will be potent force
of civilization
This School has been supported almost wholly
by tne American miooiondiJ HDo"Si""'N' -
by private contributions. 1t was an experiment
not contemplated in the routine of the Bureau.
IL is q success. And now it needs permanent
buildings and an endowment fund. For the
fund it must wait. For the buildings it suffers.
Every day applicants are turned away because
in the patched sheds the school now occupies,
there is no more room. From all over the
South come letters of inquiry. The negroes
are too poor to exchange both money and time
for schooling They must make their living
or starve. 1t is only at Hampton that they can
earn both bread and the knowledge that is
more than bread. From close beside the adml-
rable Normal day y-school at Charleston have
come pupils who could not afford the time 10
learn, even when tuition was free. The new
buildings should be large, substantial, furnished
with class rooms, assembly rooms, cabinet, and
appliances for teaching agricultural chemistry.
At least sixty thousand dollars will be needed
We suggest to Gen. Howard that no act would
more fitly grace his leaving of the post he has
so honored than the appropriation OF half tins
amount for the building fund. Private gifts
would speedily complete the sum.
We do not believe in presenting the Freed
men with occasional old clothes and intermit-
tent dollars, accompanied by paternl Bless
eye, my children" Wages are help, charity

man debt, whose arrears run back two
hundred years. To give him schools and
chance of manhood is not to attempt payment
but only to acknowledge the obligation.

naturally descend. Meanwhile, othgr families
living remote and struggling with poverty,
lament their sad fate, and that they are de-
prived of opportunities which, if enjoyed In
the manner desired, would lead TO their ruin
also. Could the wealthy understand that
education, position, and all that is understood
by opportunity, means as thorough discipline Of
the body as of the mind, the rulers and in
tellectual leaders of the land would not be
taken from the common people. But, because
they will not understand this, great reser-
voir of latent, intellectual power is wisely de-
posted with the humble and lowly. What We
mean by discipline of body is, that the student,
independent, for time at least, of family wealth,
shall be so guided as to experience within himself
the growth, progress, and development of man.
To neglect such elementary knowledge is as
fatal as to neglect the elements by which any
science is acquired. With our wealth and in
yentions we seek other methods; but we con-
stantly forget one who was born to a princely
inheritance, and to whom no opportunities were
to be denied; and, to the end that he might
know, and be able to do, most, he was made
| acquainted with common labor both in the
shop and field; but, previously, and as pre-
liminary, that lie might touch every string of
the human heart, from the lowest to the high
est, it was made necessary that he should be
born in a manger.
Of course, with the ideas at present held by
the wealthy, and by those to whom has been
given the full count of talents, this physical
development for their children will be dis
dained, and it will remain for the COM
mon people, gradually, and perhaps, during
many ages, and in the interior, and re-
mote from the contamination of cities,
to fix the condition by which, to the
many, progress is to be secured, and upon
which is to be based the outgrowth Of broad
culture which we express by the word intuition.
1t is plain that these conditions will be founded,
first, upon useful industry; for only 10y this
means can the full reflex power by which tho
mind acts upon the body, and the body upon
the mind be established. That the human
race in its progress is leaning forward toward
this consummation there can be no doubt; and
when it shall be reached it will be seen that, if
such thing were longer possible, there could
be no greater misfortune than to be born the
son of an Emperor.
New-York tribune., 1869-03-26

The argument in Gen. Frank Blair s case in
the Supreme Court, against the Missouri Test
Oath, moves in very small circle. The
Test Oath involves swearing that the
person taking it has never been in armed
hostility to the United States 1t also
involves swearing that he has never been
in hostility to the Government OF Missouri.
But at the time of the Camp Jackson affair
these were in hostility to each other; therefore
argue Gen. Blairs counsel, he could not take
the oath without perjury, since at Camp
Jackson, serving the United States, he
was in hostility to the Rebel Governor
of Missouri. 1t is substantially on this point
that the Supreme Court is asked to declare the
oath unconstitutional. 1t is answered that,
when the State officers entered the Rebellion,
they no longer constituted the State Govern
ment The Court heard the concluding argu-
ments yesterday; but reserved its decision.

San Francisco informs us that Alaska has
next developed Gold mines of extraordinary
richness. What with her Fur Seals, and her
promising prospect of an Esquimaux
war, and her abundant performances
in the way of smuggling, and
her portentous application for the machin-
cry of Territorial Government, it was about
time to send us this story to prevent
the development of popular move
ment to pay Russia seven millions
more, to consent to take back her territory

The reference of the Senate Tenure Office
bill to the House Judiciary Committee seems
to have been unexpected in Washington, as ID
certainly was unfortunate; although there were
some very apparent reasons for anticipating
resistance by the House TO the prompt passage
of the Senate measure. We wish the reasons
for this resistance did not include a
spirit of mere hostility to anything the Sen
ate may want which we are sorry to see some
Representatives taking frequent occasion to
display. The Senate is by no means perfect;
we have ourselves very frequently regretted its
course on such subjects as Indian treaties and
land grants, and it is quite possible that the
House has at times deferred too much to the
more permanent body. But the Tenure
of-Office act only confers upon it
powers which the House very strenuously
held that it ought to have. 1t
has not been very long since Gen. Butler and
Gen. Logan themselves were equally clear upon
that point. If they thought it not only consti-
tutional but needful then, they ought to under
stand that constitutionality does not change
with q change of administration that what
they considered necessary, irrespective OF the
President, year ago, ought not to be decided
by any conflicting reports of the Presidents
wishes now; and that mere dislike of the
Senate as at present organized is not sufficient
reason for attempting to strip it of a power
that, by their own past views, the Senate ought

The Excise law may at last be regarded as
safe. The caucus of Republican Senators held
last night at Albany unanimously resolved to
vote down all attempts to change 1t. Senator
Mattoon having there pledged himself to stand
with his party in the matter, we may consider
the efforts to cripple the law as already sub
stantially defeated. In the interests OF order,
obedience to law, and public morality which
they have thus so greatly subserved, we thank
the Senators right heartily for their action.
New-York tribune., 1869-03-26

The warmth of the sympathy felt in New
York for the struggling Cubans was abundantly
attested last night at the enthusiastic meeting
in steinway Hall. Their cause is so
palpably just-their insurrection so mani
festy identical in aim with that
by which in the case of our own land self
government was attained, that there has never
been a question as to the interest the
people of the United States would feel
In their success. Late events, however,

The effort of Senator Tweed to secure public

The effort of Senator Tweed to secure public
money for certain Catholic Schools, in no way
connected with the Public School System, was
so disguised as to make some head
way at Albany. Its real character,
however, was yesterday exposed by
the Chairman of the Committee from which
it was reported; the Senate caucus, last night
unanimously agreed to oppose it; and to-day
it may therefore be considered as dead as the
hundred similar schemes that have preceded 1t.
New-York tribune., 1869-03-26

The Catholic Governments of the world have
been invited by the Pope to send ecclesiastics
to represent them in the coming Council. This
refutes report circulated some months ago,
that in view of the indifferent or hostile atti-
tude which most of the State Governments
have assumed with regard to the Catholic
Church, they would this time be altogether
ignored by the Pope.

with fraud, on the part Of claim agents, to an
extent not practiced in the case of any other
