eff the South were sane enough to behave
herself we shouldalmo despair" says Wen.
dell Phillips in a recent number of the Anti
Slavery Standard. What he means is easily
penetrated. 1t is the underlying thought
OF the whole Radical party in re-
spect TO the situation of affairs in the South
and the relations of the Southern States to
the federal government. To quote one of his
own proverbs, with new application, "the
more trouble, the more lion," Radicalism.
like hopeless drunkard, is only to be kept
alive by irritants. 1t won't do for the Radical
doctors to let the South be at rest. They
must managet to organize chronic trouble there
In order to save their party from delirium ire
mems and final paralysis. If they should
allow the South to 'behave herself" that lis
to say, if they should permit her restoration
to real and essential conditions of tranquility
and harmony, their party would be without
pretext to hang its schemes upon. To have
even the pretense of reason for existence,
and, more than all, to command the instru-
mentalities of success, the party must resent
as blow aimed at its own life every measure
that truly looks to the ''peace" at the South
and the ''peace" at the North respecting the
South, which Gen. Grant has promised as a
cardinal object of his administration. He can
not follow this object without fighting the
Radicals.

The funeral ceremonies of the prince ROYAL of
Belgium took place at Lacken. near Brussels, on
the 18th of January. The body was entombed in
the presence Of the king aud queen. The mourn,
i9l ceremony 90 much affected the royal parents
that there was great difficulty 10 getting them
away from the bier. The decoration of the church
was simple IN the extreme. In the midst was a
catafalque for the reception Of the coffin, cano-
pied with black drapery fringed with gold, and
orDsmented with black feathers. The sisles and
the choir were hung with black. The two sides of
the choir were adorned with black and gold hang.
lngs, and were set apart for the royal family and
the high dignitares of the State. After a portion
OF the funeral Office had been said by the priests,
the coffin was raised on the shoulders OF twelve
Officers, belonging principally to the civic guard
and TO ihe army. Immediately behind the coffin
came the king and count Of Flanders. both of
whom appeared in the uniform of the lieutenant
general OF the Belgian army, the insignia of the
order Of Leopold being covered with Grape. II
was difficult to see the kings countensnce, but his
appearance was that of q man bowed down with
grief. After the "Agnus Del" the coffin was car
REQ to the vault, the king and his brother accom-
psnylDg It o. far as the Threshold and the child
was laid beside the remains Of his grandfather.

Accounts from Cuba represent that the
instruction has, at last, reached the Vuelts
de AbaJo, on western department, region
which, Heretofore, has been comparatively
tranquil. There never has been any doubt
of the revolb tionary feeling of that part of
the island; / ut the delay and procrastination
OF the populit ion in making movement in
response to the calls of the revolutionary
committee, ciused their zeal, or their courage,
to be called in question. The statement of
rising in the west was made in terms so vague
and general that, at first it seemed to be
more the expression of desire than the
recital of feet. 1t appears, however, that
the report wss well founded. The details are
given In the correspondence of the New York
worldly FIR the most intelligent and au.
thentic that comes from Cuba. It appears
that the del'E was caused by an arrangement
making mdvement dependent on the arrival
OF parties from New York and New Orleans.
1t is now stated that the New York party,
headed by 3r. Cisneros, lately editor of the
Pals, had actually landed, and formed Juno.
tion with force of insurgents commanded
by Carlos GaEcia Prieto. This force has been
for some time organizing in the mountains,
and it had already encountered and defeated
body of loi alists in the district of San Girls
tobal-a loJlity made famous by the disas-
trous operations of Gen. Lopez in 1851.
As the rejblt has manifested itself in the
central DEPARTMENT likewise, the expression
of a letter iriter that the "whole island is
undermined with revolution" is not more
torcible THAI true. The Havana papers at last
admit that the instruction has assumed
formidable lhape, too formidable indeed to be
whistled ddwn by the ordinary process of
contemptpdbs depreciation. The government
organs are duarreling over the situation, some
of them attacking the quasi liberal policy
which Dulct at first pursued, as the fruitful
cause of TIE magnitude which the troubles
have ASSUMED. Dulce himself finds that his
concessiona have not reached the evil-that
liberty of discussion is fatal to the pretensons
of his party; that reason and argument are
weapons tob powerful to be trusted to his adj
versaries, aud that the only way to maintain
a despotie authority, is the use of despotic |
methods. Hence he has revoked his procla- |
nations Chanting partial liberty of opinion |
and of expression and has established sys- |
tenn of repression more arbitrary and tyran- |
meal than any that his predecessors had
even conceived. All of this shows that the |
movement for Cuban independence is real
movement, impelled by causes which are not
by any Jeans transitory and limited, but
which petneate the whole mass of Cuban So
eiety. Whatever may have been the result of
the particular encounters which have taken
place betseen the government troops and the
insurgents the conspicuous fact remains that
the reyolThas been steadily gaining ground.

In the report of the proceedings of the
Senate on Tuesday last, as published in the
CRESCENT of yesterday morning. the following
occurs !:
Mr.. O'Hara spike against the section. He had
occasion to remark that he favored such bill at
time when it Was necessary for the preservation
OF himself and hs party, but that now the ne
cessity existed no more. He had commended
for universal suffrage and maintained the same
principles. EisIparty could now elect portion of
the city ohicess.i He opposed the granting of too
much appointing power. He was also opposed to
put half Of the wealth of the State into the hands
of six men. Senator Poindexter. he said, had
suggested that; the administrators be elected by
the Legislature; he would propose to incorporate
them in the bill right away. Mr.. O'Hara then
named Michael Hahn, M. A. SOuthworth, B. F.
Roberts, 5. B. Packard, Aristide Mary, B. F. Jon.
bert, j. o. Nixon and HughJ. Campbell, IS names
which be woule incorporate in the bill.
1t is superfuous to state that Mr.. O'Hara's
motion was made without any consent or
participation on the part Of the proprietor of
the Crescent, whose determined opposition
to the principle and details of the bill in
question are 70 well known and have been so
openly pronoq rced Under no circumstances
would he accept position rendered in such
a manner, and by an authority whose right to
nsurp the gdvernment of the city of New
Orleans he rep uses to recognize. He consid-
srs it desirable to place on record a pro.
test against Ihis unwarrantable use of his
mama

THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY NAVIGATION
COMPANY OF THE SOUTH AND WEST.

Some time since we published the names Of
the directors of this company as an item OF
local news, and for the purpose of aiding the
recollections of our readers that there
was such an enterprise in our midst.
Capt. De Haven, the president OF
this company, has been untiring in
his efforts to accomplish this result
| He has devoted much time to devising
plans by which we might cheaper transport
tation on our rivers, increase the speed of
our boats and at the same time secure safety
and comfort. The problem whichIhe endeav-
ored to solve was the use of low-pressure en-
gines on the boats of all of our Southern
rivers. The mechanical difficulties which
have hitherto stood in the way of success he
has, We believe, overcome, and henceforth we
may see low-pressure steamboats, supersede
those which have hitherto been in use. This
company proposes to build and is now build
ing boat on this principle, applying the i'm
provements of Capt. DeHaven, which have all
been patented, and can be applied only to the
boats built by this company.
1t is claimed that boats of greater capacity,
greater space and safety, can be constructed
on this plan, and at the same time, carry the
produce and mercandise of the country at
greatly reduced rates. Cheap, speedy and
safe transportation is what this country needs
and must have, and if this company can give
it to us, letus hail its Inauguration as the CON-
mencement of new era in the history of this
city. In speaking in favor of this enterprise
we do not wish to be understood as dispar-
aging any other. We propose to encourage
every one that brings to us increased benefits.
We have examined the list of the names of
the subscribers, and the charter of the COM
pany, and it appears to us to be in flourish
ing condition.
One feature in the charter enables the COM
pany to take lands in payment of subscrip-
tons to the capital stock of the company.
These lands are to be taken at their cash
value, and the company propose to encourage
and sell out such lands to immi-
grants in quantities to suit. Those who in
vest lands in this manner receive in lieu cer-
tlticates of paid up stock. Offers of lands are
coming in rapidly. The capital stock has
been recently increased from $500, 900 to |
81, OOO,O 600. The company, we are told, has |
every reason to hope for success. This
autumn will witness the first of series of |
boats of this contemplated class We all |
know with what success low-pressure boats
ire run on the Hudson river and Long Island
Sound, in direct competition with the most
successfully managed railroads. Why should
We not have the same success on our Southern
ivers?

The Ray substitute was defeated in the
Senate last night by the striking out of the
clause allowing the governor to appoint the
mayor and administrators. When this oc-
CURED Mr.. Lynch offered the so-called
property holders charter as a substitute,
which, on motion of Mr.. Blackman, was
adopted as a whole. Subsequently, Mr.
Braughn moved reconsideration, which was
fixed for tomorrow. We trust that the sena-
tors who have voted for this odious attempt
to fasten an irresponsible oligarchy on the
city of New Orleans, and to establish among
us monstrous system entirely in conflict
with all recognized principles of government
will, indeed, reconsider their action before
making it reversible.

A Washington dispatch of the goth saws: The
fight for the repeal of the civil tenure law com.
menced In the Senate to day in dead earnest. and
the discussion, headed by COnkling, was against
the repeal. VI course no vote was reached. A
careful calculation shows, that. with the entire
Democratic vote, the friends of Gen. Grant can
barely secure vote for the House bill erasing
the odious measure from the statute books
The contest is more bitter and close than either
sloe had imagined. The carpet-bsg senators
have taken a very decided stand against the
repeal: which fact is not likely to insure them
