THOSE CABs.-When shall we see those
graceful and commodious Hansoms whirling
along our streets? Some envious persons and
papers have insinuated that the bill which
passed the Legislature the other day, incor-
porating the ''Hansom Cab Company" was
only blind to prevent other parties from
establishing line of cabs in the city. We
are informed, however, that the company is
sustained by large English capital; that cabs
are being built in England for shipment as fast
as possible, and that the company intends to
carry out all the provisions Of the charter at
the earliest moment. We hope that there will
be no disappointment about 1t. The public
are anxious to have a good line of cabs run
ming at moderate rate offare and under good
regulations.

Too Hor FOR IIix.-The Nashville Union
states that Parson Brownlow is disgusted with
Washington and wants to give up his place in

Psrson Ia pretty good evidence that birthstone

THR WAR IN CUBA.-The steamer Saliva
dor, which lately ran from Key West to st.
Thomas, has just returned to that island from
Cuba, after landing some three hundred volun-
teers, with arms and ammunition, for the re-
volutionary forces. Seven hundred sympa-
thzers were landed, and engaged almost i'm
mediately with the Spanish regulars. The
raw levies fought bravely, and the
struggle was, as usual, very severe. The
volunteers are said to have had sixty men
killed and l60 wounded, while the Spaniards
sustained only slight loss. 1t must be borne
in mind, however, that the account comes
from government sources. II the war should
endure for any heightened period Cuba will be
desolated; II may be almost barbarized. On
her arrival at st. Thomas the Salvador
was assessed in fine Of four thousand pounds
sterling for having left port with an excess OF
passengers. England is becoming very deli
cate and careful in her construction OF nter-
national law. Who or what does she fear'

Porto Roo JOINING IN THE FRAY.-We are
glad to learn that the revolutionary fire of
Cuba has extended to and spread over the
neighboring Spanish island Of Porto Rico,
because it gives more employment to Spain
and il so far o contribution to the cause In
Cuba. Porto Rico is fertile island. 1t has
population Of some six hundred thousand,
and in Importance is the fourth of the isles of
the West Indies-Cuba being first, st. Domingo
or Hayti second, and Jamaica third, though
Jamaica is but little larger than Porto Rico.
We expect the annexation before long, by the
consent of all concerned, of st. Domingo,
which lies between Cuba and Porto Rico, and
so, with the annexation Of these two, when
the war therein is over, we shall have the
three islands all in row.

PARDON ASKED FoR.-The Nashville Union
asks pardon Of It's readers for the profanity
which appeared In It's columns on Q certain

radical convention In Nashville. 1t consoles
itself, however, with the reflection that ''pro-
fano history has been serviceable TO the world,
and trusts that this chapter may be Of service

ALARMING EXPLOSION or GAs.-Cincinnau

of half million of cubic feet Of gas, being
torn to pieces and scattered In oil directions.
One man lost his life, q companion being
fatally injured, number Of others having,

descended from the point OF danger. The
neighboring buildings were scorched and
shaken. This Is warning, not only to gas
filters, but the builders Of gasometcrs. Explo-
sions Of the subtle agent are becoming very
frequent. Where are the inspectors

as Radical et2Ae Convention In Tcu
nessee-ShamcfNl PrOceedings.


We publish to-day an abstract of the second
days proceedings of the radica. convention In
Nashville. We might give longer abstract,
for the Nashville papers contain several
columns of the report, but it is so dashed,
double dashed, and extra double dashed of,
like a Georgia cornAeld laid out in rows ready
for planting, that more of it might confuse our
readers and render what we already give al
most perfect blank. These reports Demon
strate that the convocation was among the
most disgraceful of any. kind that ever assem-
bled In the State. It's proceedings were
marked by profane and vulgar declarations
that would have caused those who uttered
them to be thrown from the windows of con-
gregation Of horse thieves and cutthroats. Il
is absolutely humiiating to the whole Ameri-
can people that any political organization in q
State in the Union should so outrageously con-
duct itself In its representative capacity in
public hall. No term of opprobrium is too
strong to apply to blackguards who befoul
their party and their country as
these Tennessee radicals have just done.
But what is the cause of all this
political Generalization? It can safely be
ascribed to the polluted political career Of
such intolerant radical leaders as Parson
Brownlow, who, with one foot in Satan's do
minions and the other in the United States
Senate, scarcely knows which way to turn for
either spiritual or political salvation. He
seems to have endeavored to make the reign
of Satan as complete In Tennessee as possible
in order that the contrast might not be so great
hereafter Tennessee must repudiate such
men altogether or live in constant terror of po-
litical and social Ku Kluxes until she does. OF
course the radical convention burst up In
row without efecting nomination-the con-
test being between Senter, the successor Of
Brownlow, and Stokes, radical member Of
Congress-. Andy johnson did not come in
anywhere. Indeed, he seems to be nowhere in
Tennessee just at this time; but 1t will be
among the wisest acts of his life if he man
ages to steer clear Of every such shameless
gang of bummers as that which has lust dis
graced by their presence the capital of the
State. The radical party in Tennessee, thus
being hopelessly split, why do not the con-
servatives rally once more and endeavor to
right the ship of Statep
The New York herald., 1869-05-25

TAKING ADvICE.-Grant was informed by
his official legal adviser that there was no
warrant in the Eight Hour law for giving men
ten hours pay for eight hours labor, and he,
therefore, did the thing by proclamation, sup
posing, perhaps, that his proclamation was .
sort of supplementary law. An attorney gen.
eral, then, is person whose advice is of no
account when II stands in the way, but is all
important when 1t affords pretexts for disre-
garding laws men do not wish to obey.

COMFORT FROM CANADA.-A London jour

what chance would poor Canada have In the

The New York herald., 1869-05-25

ENGLISH REFINEMENT.-A London journal
partially acknowledges that the arming of the
Alabama against the Union resulted from a
''misdirection of sympathy" This is most
refined manner of expressing the word piracy.
1t is to be hoped that Great Britain will place
her sympathetic current in an honest direction
soon and pay our bill of claims. No more

A NEW NATIONAL CuAIN.-It Is stated In
Texas paper that ''chain Of cattle and horse
droves" for Northwestern cities has been cross

past. This is expressive of the value Of Texas
as grazing and produ cling country, and es-
tablishcs another import ant link in the chain
of national union.

BIGOTRY vs.. CHRIsrIANITY.-The New
School Presbyterians in session in this city
adopted, one day last week, aresolution recon-
mending the Grand Army of the Republic to
change the day from Sunday to Saturday next
for the decoration with flowers of the graves
Of those brave soldiers who died that the
nation might live, because these Presbyterian
Pharisees hold that this Christian service on
Sunday will be ''desecration ofthe Sabbath. -
We are glad to hear that this outbreak of Puri-
tanical bigotry will not be regarded by the
Grand Army Of the Republic. OF all
the seven days Of the week Sunday
is the very day for this service
this beautiful religious tribute of respect to
our dead heroes. It will be in the highest
sense keeping the Sabbath day holy, this rev.
erential sprinkling of our soldiers graves with
flowers. The Founder Of Christianity himself
was once taken to task by roundhead for
desecrating the Sabbath, and these New School
Presbyterians concerned In this aforesaid reso-
luton belong to the same order Of bigoted sim
pletons. How they would roast all disbe-
LEVERS In their senseless crotchets II they had
the power! What q glorious blessing is re-
ligious liberty!

NOVEL PoLIoY OF AUsTRn.-The Austrian

New York in similar sense she would have
been either vanquished by or at war with
the American people long since.
Doos.-One great public benefit Is likely to
grow out Of the law for the prevention Of

resulting from ignorance and panic. He could
not do better with the funds of his society than

Power. We know that Great Britain is

seven or ten millions of dollars month. In
