LONDON, Feb 17.-An address in reply to the
Queens speech was agreed TO unanimously in both
Houses of Parliament. In the House of Commons,
last evening, Dsraeli expressed sorrow that the
ratification of the convention with the United

issue would doubtless be satisfactory to both
countries.

News From Cuba.

News From Cuba.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17-General Sickles has
arrived here, and General Sherman is expected
next week. Then, names are freely spoken OF
in connection with Cabinet and other offices.
1t is rumored that General Slckles is figuring
for a very lucrative Federal office in New York.
General Grants reticence about his Cabinet has
only intensified the interest of the politicians
and Office seekers. A number of Cabinet states
have been made, and they alliinclude the name
of Mr.. EyartS as Attorney General. Great
efforts are made to secure Cabinet position
for Senator Wade, and it is thought that Mr..
CoiaXs influence will turn the scale in Waie's
favor.
The position of Cuba excites great interest.
1t is expected that the revolutionary party will
proclaim the independence of the island. In
that case our Government will Immediately
recognize the new Government. and extend
belligerent rights TO it, and thee privileges of
neutrality. 1t will then be open to both parties
to obtain men, money, and arms from abroad.
And it is not doubted that American sympathy
viii turn the scale in favor OF free Cuba.
National Currency.
The House, by vote OF 80 to l6, has adopted
Coburn's amendment to the Supplementary
Currency act. 1t provides for an increase OF
national bank currency, to supply the want
a redistribution OF currency now authorized by
low. Western and Southern members voted for
| it almost solid.
The Presidents Amnesty,
The Senate Judiciary Committee made a
report to-day on the subject of the Presidents
| last amnesty proclamation. The committees
| report is very long, and reviews the whole
| question of the Executive power in the pre-.
| mises, and concludes with the opinion that the
| President issued 1t with no authority under the
| Constitution or laws. The committee also
report against the admission of Miller as Senator
| from Georgia, and also in favor of striking out
| the word "white" where 1t occurs in thu nalu-
| ralizatlon laws.

Taxes on Sugar, Tea and coMee.

In 1868 there were 80, 100000 pounds
of tea imported into this country. The
duty upon it was about 80 cents q pound
which would be Sl0,000,000. In addi-
ton there was tariff of 25 per cent. in
value, which would be equal to $5,000,-
600. The total annual tea duty is. Sls,
100000. The taxes upon tea are more
than equal to the cost of it in China, with
the expectation from there added When
person buys pound of tea, half Of
the price goes to the merchant and half
to the Government. sts4
We imported last year 252, 600, 900
pounds of coffee. The duty at 5 per
cent. amounted to 81, 100000. We al
so imported about 200, ,00o, 900 pounds
of sugar in 1868. The duty was 4 cents
apound, and amounted in the aggregate
to SS,000,000 Thus, upon tea, coffee
and sugar the people of the United
States are taxed, through the Custom
house alone, S35,000,000. This is equal
to nearly S50,0OO,000 in greenbacks. II
the Government would abolish the Ma
tional Banks, call in their circulation, and
issue greenbacks in their stead, it would
save more than half of this oppressive
tax. Those who are in favor of cheaper
tea, coffee and sugar, sho uld insist upon
the abolition ofNational Banks and the
supplanting of their notes by greenbacks.
Then, with that saving of S35, ,000, ,000, we
could admit tea, coffee and sugar free of
duty. with but little loss to the revenue.

The Situation i'm Mexico.

By special correspondence from Mex
leo, dated in Montgomery on the 2Sth
of February, we are informed that the
entire country was wrapt in fame of
revolutionary agitation. The people
were disgusted with and sick of the
Cabinet plumbers of the Juarez party,
the members of the government and
President looking merely to the "spoils,
and caring little for the general interest.
Escobedo was doing the work of exter-
mination in Tamaulipas, and most of
the other States were considerably dis
turbed. General Negrete had defeated
a portion of the government troops, and
it was considered that others of them
would join his standard. Conduetas were
being plundered at all points. Advices
from Texas throw out the conjecture
that United States troops would soon
invade Mexico and leave it open to in
fele that the "beginning of the end
was not far distant.-N. Y Herald.

The D0iass Of Congress.

The Washington National InteNigea-
Ger truthtully says: We have had Con
gress here for four months, and we think
it would puzzle anybody to say what one
thing they have done to benefit the coun-
try They have dons absolutely moth
ing to lessen the burdens Of the people
or inspire hope for the future. Much of
their time has been spent in worthless
wranglc aad alteration. We can think
Of some things they have done, but not
one is OF any help to the people. They
have passed law which gllddens the
heart Of rich bondholders and stock job
bers; but they were rich enough before,
and all this additional gain comes ont of
crushed and suffering people. They
have passed a copper tariff bill, hut here,
toe, the poor suffer, and, probably, not
five hundred persons. all told are hene.
fitted. BY these two laws not one man
in thousand is the gamer.
We have not forgotten the fifteenth
amendment> to make the negro voter
everywhere But this is not fnality !;
and if it were, would not do any real
good to the negro, much less to the
white man.
We have now had parliamentary gov
ernment administered by Radicals for
nearly four years. Is it not practically
failure? We aresorry to say that we
can expect little or nothing from this
Congress but a senseless agitation and
an indecent struggle for spoils Perhaps
if the people would seize every opportu-
nifty to express their disgust by their
votes, public meetings, &c, there might
be some little Improvement But we
need new material altogether. The pres
ent Congress is already as much of a
failure as either of its predecessors, and
there will be no satisfactory change until
we get a fresh set of men. This work
the people must do for themselves, and
the first step is to secure the State Leg
iSlatures so as to reach the Senate. This
body is the worst of the two, and will be
the last to respond to the demands of the
people.

Butler and ESrOyyGlOyy.

DoNN PIATT, Of the Commercial, thus
describes the appearance Of BUTLER and
BRowCLow in the House and Senate:
Buffers voice is combination Of the
growl of tiger and the hiss of snake.
A timid, sensitive nature would shrink
and shudder to hear the roll of malig-
nant, angry utterances of this man. And
his appearance, when speaking, carries
out the impression. His retreating fore
head disappears in the animal develop
ments, that are large, and appear more
prominent from being bald, while his
shaggy, gray eyebrows, throw in deeper
shadow the cavernous -ecesses from
which his distorted eyes CLEAN in wrath
His cheeks are fabby land fall over a chin
that lacks the square prominence that
indicates frmness and consistency. In
a word, his head is the head of cat,
and, when aroused to anger, he seems to
growl and spit until one can almost see
the CLEAN of the white teeth, sharp as
needles"
