THE BEAUTIES OF LoYALTY.-The applica-
ton of oaths 80 largely made in the South by
the government, and the disfranchisement of
all refusing to do the stringent swearing, re-
ceives very odd illustration in Missouri
Frank Blair, Jr., lately candidate for Vice
President, is disfranchised in his own State
because of his activity as Union soldier
early in the war. The oath requires the voter
to swear, among other things, that he has
never taken up arms against the State. Early
in the war Missouri was in the hands of the
rebels, and her Governor organized as State
troops secession force. Blair helped to capture
that force, and therefore cannot take the oath.
The New York herald., 1869-03-26

POPULAR RIGHTS AND POPULAR SovE-
REreNTY.-Our Spanish friends are rather
illogical in the courses they are pursuing in
different localities. In Spain the whole nation
Is reused on the question Of revolution, and
the recent election Of the Cortes for the
purpose Of forming new government is q
complete acceptance Of the doctrine Of popular
sovereignty. In Cuba the denial Of the same
right to the Cubans is contradiction and
denial Of the right Of popular sovereignty.
Logically viewed, the fact appears that when
the Spaniards overthrew the throne the
powers Of government returned TO the peo-
pie, and Cubans and Spaniards each hold
the right to reconstruct their political scheme
as to each shall seem best.
The New York herald., 1869-03-26

Serious Progress Of the Cuban Revolution.
By telegram from Havana, dated yesterday,
we learn that the Cuban revolution is in most
serious progress as against the Spanish au-
thority, and, in consequence of recent sue
cesses, that the insurgents are likely to obtain
the aid of some of the leading men of the
island, official and non-oficial. A commission
from Trinidad reported to the Captain General
that Sehor Patino, Governor of that place,
was ''actively disloyal;" that he marched
troops to places where there was no enemy,
and that they believed he had s'sold himself
to the insurgents. Similar complaints had
been lodged against other prominent officials,
and general distrust Of executive good faith
appeared to prevail. The commander of the
forces in the field near Remedies was charged
with open completely with the insurrection.
Four companies of mobilized volunteers had
gone over to the enemy, and General Letona's
advance had been defeated near Cenfuegos.
Expeditionary forces from the United States,
well supplied with arms, are said to have landed
on the shores and joined the rebel armies at
different points. 1t appears as if the move
ment were the beginning of the end" of
Spanish authority in Cuba.
The New York herald., 1869-03-26

THE NEW ASSISTANT SEcRKTA RY OF
STATE.-Bancroft Davis, appointed by Gene
raj Grant to this position, receives favorable
opinions from all sorts Of people. Even the
Albany Argus, copperhead democratic
organ, throws in word in his favor. With
such unanimity in regard to the enforcement
of our national policy there need be no doubt
about the vindication Of American rights, not
only about the Alabama claims, but about
republican liberty on the American Continent,
especially in Mexico and upon the island Of
Cuba
The New York herald., 1869-03-26

CARRY Our THE RULE. The Toledo Blade
very sharp paper latterly-says there
is lawful reason why Mr.. Clapp, the propri-
etor Of Buffalo paper, should not be ap-
pointed public printer. A law is revived
like that of 1889, which was exhumed to meet
the exigency Of Mr.. Stewards nomination for
Secretary Of the Treasury by General Grant,
to the effect that such an officer shall not have
an interest Of any kind in public business con-
nected with his department. Mr. Stewards
case may prove precedent for decision in
regard to that Of Clam.
The New York herald., 1869-03-26

THE NEW CONSTITUTION OF TEXAS. The
Austin (Texas) State Gazette Of the 18th inst,
although opposed to several OF the provisions
in the proposed new constitution Of Texas,
advises the conservative people Of the State
TO vote for il, adding 1--WE don't defend the
constitution--we are not responsible for II,
neither are the real people Of Texas. We are
for taking II because we can do no better and
because We may be placed in worse coudi-
tion by rejecting It." Sensible.
