.APAINFUL aEYELAIION.

Under this head the New York
Times has double loaded editorial,
the substance of which is, that
heavy frauds have been discovered
in the management Of the Methodist
Book Concern in Now York. The
Times says: "The subject, we
understand, is now undergoing an
investigation, and as soon as the
details can be given to the public
without prejudice to any but culpa-
bic parties, we shall endeavor to
furnish them. These frauds, it is
said, have been going on for some
eight or nine years, and of course
their full extent is not ascertained
with precision"
The New York Post Of the after
noon of the DIST inst. says Or.
Porter, the agent, gave his son, who
is a paper broker, the buying of
the paper for the establishment, and
that he received from the concern
not only the market price Of the
paper bought, but a percentage
above, which averaged not less than
seven per cent. Thatis to say the
agent is accused of having allowed

his son to charge heavy commits
sion on the purchase of paper, when
his duty was to buy himself for the
establishment of which he had
charge, on the best attainable terms.
1t is reported that the purchases of
paper, On which the agent thus
allowed commissions, amounted
to $4,000 per annum.. These
irregularities are said to ex-
tend to the bindery depart
ment, but the amount involved is
not yet ascertained, though it is
supposed to be larger. The Post
says; "That the irregularities, con-
tinued over long period, was ow-
ing to the fact that the business had
rapidly grown to mammoth proporN
tions, without any proper system OF
checks having been adopted to pro-
teet the interests of the concern.
Every thing was done loosely, each
person concerned in the manage
ment having placed implicit conf
dence in his associates"

AN IMPORTANT CHANGE IN THE
CUBAN ARMY.

The New York Journal of Com
merce, of the 21st inst, learns from
gentleman, who is in q position
to know what is going on among
the Cuban reuolutionists, that an
important change has been made il
the command of the liberating ar
my. Gen. Cespedes, President
Of the Cuban Republic, has taken
the field in person as commander Of
all the forces, and Gen. ThOs. J q.
Jordan, Chief Of Staff to Gen.
Beauregard, who recently held that
position, is made Chief of Cespedes'
Staff. The Journal of Commerce
says:
"If this statement is correct, it pos
sesses some Significance. 1t By no means
implies the least doubt of General Jor-
dams tried and proved military abilities,
but II strengthens the revolutionary cause
by securing General Jordan's valuable
services in place where they will al!
sill be available, while it appeals with
Fl esh power to the patriotism and pride
Of the Cubans. To give the chief COM
mand Of the insurgents 10 a foreigner
although that foreigner is an American
and soldier of great talents-seemed TO
imply a want Of military skill among
The Cubans themselves, which preiudiced
snme people against them. Probably one
object in view in comforting 30 high an
office upon General Jordan was to decrease
the number Of American enlistmeDts,
but this has not succeeded 10 the ex-
tent expected. But few expeditions
have been able 10 get away from United
States ports since Gen. Jordan took the
command, and the Cubans have been OBJ
liged to depend, for the most part, upon
themselves. Recently, if Cuban advices
are 10 be trusted, they have rallied in
great numbers To the revolutionary flag,
and bow seem quite able to conquer their
hereditary enemies without the aid of
American soldiers. Gen. Cespedes, by
placing himself at the head of the army,
may have intended TO signalize this fact,
and 10 cause q general rising of the Cuban
population all over The island. But what
ever sympathy and aid would have been

THEBYRON SCANDAL.

For several weeks the papers of
both the United States and Europe
have been burdened with articles
touching the domestic relations of
Lord Byron and his wife, the dis
cussion of which was revived by
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe in the
Atlantic Monthly. In a carefully
prepared paper for that magazine
Mrs. Stowe related Lady ByrOn's
grievances against her husband, as
confdentially communicated to the
former thirteen years ago. In that
paper Mrs. Stowe gives as the true
reason for Lady Byron's separation
from her husband, that she had
become aware of q criminal
intimacy between Lord Byron
and his half-sister. Naturally this
charge created great excitement in
England. Messrs. Wharton and
Forbes, the attorneys for the heirs
Of Lady Byron, published q letter
in the London Times which is suf-
ficient to prove that Lady Byron
never contemplated tho use made
of her name, and that her descend
ants and representatives disclaim
any countenanco Of Mrs. Stoves
article. This, however, was not
regarded as specifically meeting
Mrs. Stoves allegation that Lady
Byron in conversation with her
thirteen years ago affirmed he hor-
rible charge now brought against
Lord Byron and his sister. Since
then an important contribution
TO tho history Of this scandal has
been made through the London
Times by Lord Lindsey, from the
papers Of Lady Anne Barnard,
known as the authoress of the balls
lad "Auld Robin Gray" Lady
Barnard was the confdant and
correspondent of Lady Byron,
and it appears from the narrative
that no special crime, like that al
legged by Mrs. Stowe, was the cause
OF the separation Of Byron and his
wife. 1t was constant unfeeling
brutality on his part, exaggerated
by his morbid desire to appear even
worse than he was, that made his
wife's condition intolerable, and
her life burdcnsome,3 and therefore
she left him. This was Lady By
ron's version of the matter at the
time when her recollection was
fresh, and her mind mclouded
by age or infirmity. Lord Lindsay
declares that Gin the face ofthe
evidence now given, positive, mega
tive, and circumstantial, there can

THOSE who have been contending
for crop of 100000 bales of cots
ton this season will likely lower
their estimates. The Charleston
Courier of the 18th says that the
''serious injury from rust" sustained
by the cotton crops in Georgia and
South Carolina, has induced many
persons interested in the article to
lower their estimates, and that it is
''now thought that not over $780,
600 to 100000 bales, or even less,
will be raised" The Savannah News
of the same date says that "reports
from the interior indicate a much
smaller crop than has generally
been estimated upon" These res
ports do not look favorable for a
crop of more than half q million in
excess Of that of last year.

there is considerable fermentation
