Our Relations with Her Discussed In

Our Relations with Her Discussed in the
It is now definitely ascertained that Cuban
matters were fully discussed by the Cabinet
meeting on Friday. No conclusive action was
taken it being thought best to wait a few days
and settle upon some action at the next regular
meeting.
Minister Sickles did not exceed his instruc-
tions Acting at all times under instructions from
Mr. Fish, he presented the Cuban propositions
at Madrid and offered the mediation of the
United States. The mediation was accepted but
the Cuban propositions were replaced by a set
offered by Spain. They were rejected at once by
the Cubans and the original propositions again
urged, but Spain has not yet acted upon them.
They are still before the Spanish Government,
and the trouble lies just in q few words said by
Minister Sickles, with full knowledge of Mr.. Fish,
in reference to the delay. Gen. flckles note con-
tainedin substance the following: The mediation
of the United States has been kindly accepted
by Spain. The American people cannot under
stand the cause of your delay in acting upon the
propositions offered by their Government on be-
half of Cuba. Public opinion in the United
States may force my Government to recognize
the beligerent rights OF the Cubans." This ac-
| ton was decided upon at Cabinet meeting on
August 31st, and by reference to my despatch of
September 1st, it will be seen stated there that
General Sickles was ordered on that day to ask
| for final action on the Cuban propositions in
pursuance of the action of our Cabinet, and the
| reasons for demanding early action given in the
above note were furnished by Mr.. Fish, with full
| knowledge of the administration
The secret of the noise and hubbub created by
| General Sickles' note lies in the fact that in
| Spain the leaders rule the people, while here the
| people rule the leaders, and Spaniards cannot
/ appreciate the difference in the two forms of
| government. The boast of the Spanish leaders
| that "a 600 regular troops must be sent TO Cuba
| is claimed by the Cubans to be a mere dodge to
| frighten Mr.. Fish and test the probability of an
| alliance of the great powers They cannot be
\ spared from Spain. The Regency party, the Car
/ lists the Isabellaninos. and the Republicans must
| be managed by the strong arm of the govern
| ment and militia cannot be raised that
will unite in putting down either party in case a,
reoT1lar troops sent to Cuba Last winter, at the
beginning OF the campaign. she had 270OO on
| the island. Even should "a 600 be sent now, she
would stin have less available force in Cuba at
| the beginning of this winter campaign than she
| had last year at the same time. Meantime the
rebellion has assumed three times its then pro-
portions. and gains strength daily. By the time
OF the next Cabinet meeting the ss smoke d Will ~

King Williams Land. The Cornelia brings an
ancher found at the extreme north, marked E..
s., 1776, which is supposed to have belonged to
the first explorers. DIR. Hall found native,
who claimed to know all about the party. He says
the ship was stove, and the crew took TO their
boats and went ashore, where their provisions
wore exhausted and they died from starvation.
The ice and snow prevented DIR. Hall from
making full explorations, and he VIII return
next summer and still further prosecute the
search. The Ansel Gibbs will arrive in day

On Saturday Minister Sickles had long in

The Republicans of Spain are holding meet

Before Spain can assert valid right to Cuba,

manner contrary to all principles of humanity.

Have the Radicals Elected a King7
THE Cincinnati Enquirer Of last
Friday says that the first number
of The Impsrialist, the forthcoming
of which has been pretty generally
advertised, appeared in New York
on tho 9Th inst. Its publishers
arc understood to be prominent
members Of the Union League, and
the object Of the publication is, if
we are not misinformed, to create n
public opinion in favor of the as
sumption ofthe imperial purple by
Gen. Grant. Thepaper has not yet
been openly indorsed by its candi-
date, we believe, but there are not
wanting indications that he would
be moro easily persuaded than was
Cesar, or tho amiable RICHARD
III, to let his friends buckle royal
fortune ON his back. We incline
to the opinion that Ulysses is not
exactly the sort of material that
kings are made Of and that the
American people will not readily
aaccpt the ideas Of tho new organ
of the Loyal Leaugue, or an at,
tempt to reduce them to practice.
But IL no thinks differently, he may
very easily obtain positive informa-
ton on that point by trying q coup
d. etat. There seems 10 be, indeed,
but q single stop between his pres
ent position and imperial power;
but there is, also, tits said, no great
or distance between. the sublime
and ridiculous, and the brief legs Of
the aspiring General will perhaps
more easily span the narrow guilt
which separated these latter than
scale even the moderate height
which intervones between the
Presidential chair and a throne.
Democratic enquirer. [volume] (M'arthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1867-1873, 1869-04-14


TIE New York Day Book says it
lis certain that a majority of the
Mongrel Senators are against the
repeal Of tho Tenuro-of-ofice law,
and that Grant had no hopo Of re-
lief but in tho. vote of the Domo-
cratic members. But what good
can como TO tho Democratic party
in this matter by relieving Grant,
None whatever, but instead much
OWL. All tho power Grant gets
will bc used stupidly, foolishly, but
incxorably against the Democratic
party. The wise thing for the
Democratic members 10 do, is to lot
Grant and Congress skin their
own skunks and eat them.
Since the above was put in type,

law has passed both Houses Of Con-

A Fact for the Tax-Payers,

The monthly financial ex-
hibit of the u. S. Treasury
has been published. Among
other things it discloses is the
interesting fact, which for
several years the reading
public has been familiar with,
viz: that we have still $102,
100000 Of coin lying idle in
the Treasury. With this
$1O2,0 100000 in gold We could
purchase and retire about
$130,000,000 worth of FIVE
twenty bonds. The interest
upon that $130,000,000, at 6
per cent, is nearly $4,000,
600.
This sum we have scnosen
to throw away for several
years. Why should We keep
always on hand, without in
terest, $102,0 100000 Of coin in
the treasury? The people CT
this country are taxed 4 cents
a pound on the coffee which
is imported into it. There
are 2O0,000,000 pounds i'm
ported annually, so that we
derive a revenue from that ar
ticle of 100000. Why do
we not use the gold we have
in the Treasury from one year
to another in such as way as
to save this eight millions of
dollars tax on the poor mans
coffeep 1t would be all the
same to the Government. 1t
would derive the same am
cunt of revenue. But this
idea never seems to have en-
tered into the heads of the
wisacrcs who control our af-
fairs at Washington. They
pay out an immense sum for
interest when the principal is
against the Government, but
they take no steps to receive
amy interest for the money
which the Government has
OH hand, and which interest
would go to reduce the peo-
ple's taxes on articles oi
prime necessity.
