A NEW ENGLISH VIEW OF Nom INTERVENTION
may be found in the article of the London
Times, the gist of which was telegraphed by
cable and published in our columns yesterday.
The Times, descanting upon the present am
biguous relations between the United States
and Cuba, says that the last French campaign
in Mexico ought to have made it manifest that
there is neither honor nor profit to gain for the
Powers of the Old World by meddling with the
affairs Of the New. Just so. II is well to sec
that the unfortunate Mexican campaign has
brought forth this experience. It is to be
hoped that Spain, in its infancy of constitu-
tional liberty, will look upon the Cuban revo-
luton in this light, and keep its threatened
army of twenty thousand men at home 1t is
to be hoped, too, that our administration will
demonstrate against any further interference
on the part of Spain with ''affairs in the New
World, in which aspect the Cuban revolution
may certainly be considered is, if the
Cabinet does not resolve to 60 further by
recognizing the revolutionists as belligerents
at once, which would settle the question be-
tween Spain and Cuba in jiffy.

The Escape Of Cuban Prisoners.

Among the prominent arrivals by the steamer
Java, from Liverpool, were three Of those
wealthy Cuban planters who in March last
were banished to the island of Fernando Pc,
off the west coast of Africa. As this island lies
almost on the equatorial line, and has the
character of being, at certain seasons, exceed
ingly unhealthy, it is hardly the sort of place
one would choose as ''summer resort" To
escape from it our Cubans ventured their lives
in small canoe, without provisions or water,
compass or chart They had the good fortune
to be picked up by an English sloop, which
conveyed them to Caabar, on the neighboring
coast of Guinea. Here the negro King received
fighting men around him to defend the fugi-
lives, if necessary, from Spanish pursuit and
when the Spanish war steamer soon after came
into the harbor and demanded their surrender
he spiritedly refused to give them up. In this
course he was supported by the English
residents there and by the captain and crew of
the English mail steamer, and the Spaniards
wisely determined to retire without proceeding
to hostlities. The Cuban fugitives embarked
on the English mail steamer and reached Liver
pool in due course, and on the following day
the three gentlemen we allude to sailed by the
Java for New York, the others, sixteen in
number, intending to follow soon after.
This escape of these brave Cubans is a
matter of congratulation on more than one
account. For their own sake we rejoice at il,
as their treatment by the Spaniards was unne-
cessarily harsh, and we know there is many
true patriot in Cuba to whom the news of this
escape of their friends will be like tidings of
fresh victory. We also rejoice at 1t for the
sake Of Cuba, as these gentlemen are among
the wealthiest of her sons, possessing, it is
said, on an average over one million Of dollars
each, and the seventies they experienced must
have increased their antipathy to the oppressors
Of their native island. We feel confident they
will soon give the Spanish dons good account
of their whereabouts. Meanwhile we heartily
welcome them to this country

The radical papers are terribly exercised at
the prospect of Andy Jolnsons election to the

days of Impeachment. Some Of them predl''....

OF course he will. johnson has nothing to

so marked a chapter in the history Of his de-
clining days of power. These views he has
since ventilated on the stump and will no

the results of the Tennessee election have

that Andy JohnsOn's presence in the Senate

will. A little leaven Of Andy Johnsons
spice will do that august body no harm, while
his wholesome ventilation of many public
questions, such as the limits of legislative au-
thorty, the privileges Of the Executive, the
reality of the constitution, to say nothing of
the farcical phases Of impeachment will I'M

The High Price of COai-How to Cheaper IL.
Coal is an article Of prime necessity. Every
man, woman and child must have Tie use Of
, it, Bread il not more necessary or more
| generally used. Yet the people Of this coun-
try are now paying over double what they
ought TO pay for this article. The price is
from eight dollars fifty cents to eleven dollars
| a ton. according to the quality. 1t ought not
to be over four dollars. AT that price the coal
miners, capitalists, dealers and railroads would
| be sufficiently remunerated. How is it, then,
that the whole community is taxed more than
hundred per cent on this necessary article ?
II is monstrous injustice, and the rich min
ing capitalists, with railroad and other mono
polsts, are guilty of it. AS to the plea made
in behalf of these capitalists and mon6pnlists
that the high wages of miners and mining
laborers is the cause, it is all bosh. These
workmen can be well paid, and then the price
would be remunerative at four or five dollars a
ton. The combinations of capitalists and
monopolsts arc the real cause. The whole
people of tho United States are thus taxed
enormously for the benefit of few individuals.
or particular interest How long is this
monstrous inlquity to be endured2 Congress
should Immediately on reassembling abolish
the duty on foreign coal. This would have
the effect at once to bring the price down
probably two dollars ton, and would tend to
break up the monopolies, which in the end
would cause further reduction. It would be
just as reasonable to tax the bread we eat as
to tax coal. Besides, manufactures cannot
thrive unless coal be reasonably cheap. The
manufacturing prosperity of England and her
ability to command the markets of the world
result chiefly from her great abundance Of
cheap COAL The cost Of shipping coal here
from foreign countries will afford all the pro-
lection our mining capitalists ought to require.
At any rate the interests of the community at
large should be considered before those of
limited class or Of one particular section Of the
country. 1t is to be hoped Congress will do
something in the matter, 30 as to give the
people cheap coal.

'where You Shall BE Hanged BY es'


In such words, with the usual addition of
'still you are dead" did the Judiciary of Penn
sylvania announce to Charles Orme some
short time since that he should die
yesterday. Charles Orme was convicted of
having participated in the murder Of man
named Broadhead during the month of Sep
tember last. His abettor and aid escaped
from prison. He himself was passed to eter-
nifty by the sheriff under the circumstances
stated In our special report. The scaffold was
erected In cell of the prison and fifty persons
witnessed the manner Of his death. Whether
they we're improved In morals, edited in mind,
or made better In any respect thereby re-
mains. The convict was not In happy
frame of mind. He complained of his
treatment in jail, subject which caused
an argument between the executing Sheriff
and his predecessor in office, in which Orme
took part. On this the clergyman had him
removed from the scadfQld for additional re-
ligious consolation. He was restored to the
rope after the expiration Of an hour or more.
On this occasion the scaffold broke
down with him, he foul GIT for life,
new rope had to be obtained,
he was readjusted for Its use, and then even
passed from life after considerable difficulty.
The crime Of this man was sad-the manner Of
its explation sickening Civilization, human
ity must afford remedy and reform, but In
what shape remains to be seen.

DRUG STORE MURDERS: During the last
few days the public mind has been edited by
series Of fatal results, in various parts of the
country, produced by the negligence Of drug
gists and their assistants. No profession, It is
true, requires more care and circumspection,
and the public naturally suppose that they can
place unlimited confidence in the men enjoying
their patronage. All acts of negligence,
therefore, whereby llfe il ENDANGERED shQqld
be severely punished by the competent authori-
ties, and q few applications Of the Law bear
ing upon such deeds might prove beneficial to
the community at large.

TEMPERANoE.-We are assured on high au-
will ask our next Legislature to pass an act
enabling the legal voters of each city and town
ship to decide by poll whether they will or will
not have rumselling licensed in said town" This
would be just, as it would put the matter on
the real basis of popular WILL and every one
would be satisfied with it If it were not morally
certain that these temperance men will declare
that the majorities against them are not cast
by illegal voters"

Moro Atlantic Cables,

1t has been known for some time that
grand telegraph enterprise was on foot-an
enterprise which was chiefly American In its
character, but which represented also con-
siderable amount Of British capital and which
contemplated laying telegraphic cable along
the coast of China. This is an initial step
towards bringing Asia more directly within
the range Of the modern mercantile world. 1t
is a preliminary to grand Pacific cable which
shall connect the United States with the great
commercial centres of Japan, China and India
We have been glad to learn that Lord Claren-
don has given instructions to the effect that
the British feet in Chinese waters shall
cooperate with the Asiatic squadron of the
United States in laying and protecting this
cable. This action on the part Of the British
government is all the more praiseworthy that
arrangements have been made to lay a cable
between Suez and Bombay to connect with that
Of Malta and Alexandria. In such joint labors
great nations do themselves honor. Another
item of our latest news is to the effect that
French company has offered to construct
telegraph line from Lisbon and Gibraltar to
England and America on twenty years SUBJ
sidy. We wish success to all such enterprises.
We cannot have too many cables. Whatever
tends to annihilate distance and to facilitate
interchange of ideas is a gain to humanity

The session of the British Parliament was
prorogued yesterday by royal commissioners
speaking in the name and behalf of Queen Vic
toria. The address-which we report by cable
to-day-goes TO show that her Majesty is
pleased With the home situation and the posi-
ton and prospects of Great Britain. She
sees no cause for the disturbance of the peace
of Erope-a pleasing assurance for the legis-
lators and people at large. Her negotiations
with the United States-the commissioners
did not particularize the subject-have been
suspended by mutual consent, but the Queen
hopes that the ''delay may tend to maintain re-
lations between the two countries on durable
basis of friendship"-the words ''delay may
tend to maintain" conveying the idea that the
relations have been endangered from some
cause Or other lately. On the subject of the
Irish Church legislation the Queen expresses
the wish that It's effects may produce peace in
Ireland, appearing at the same time as if
relieved by the abolition of the quasi Anglo
Hibernian popedom which she has heretofore
represented as head of the Church. The legis-
lation on subjects of social reform and home
economy generally was pleasing to the Grown,
and the money supplies accepted and acknow-
lodged as liberal. The speech, in its general
tenor, goes to show that England proper holds
well together at home, the condition of the
Dominion of Canada, British India and Aus
tralasia not being referred to.

THE NEW Posi- OFFIoR. There was another
meeting on Tuesday of a committee of the Conn
mon Council on changing the site of the Post
Office. On the part of the government it was
explained that the present site was satisfac-
tory, but as Mayor Hall had proposed q
change the government was willing to hear
what the city authorities had to say. Here
government wanted to change the present
site for "a better one" it should so enlighten
the Common Council that they, astonishing
men, ''mght know what they were going to
do" In fact, "What will you gives" We
hope the government will not waste another
year in conference with our city authorities,
but prosecute the labor.
