THE TRIBUNE has no disposition to put
into false position with respect to their con-
sttuents and friends, the number of we'll
known Canadians who feel themselves ag-
grieved in being reported on the side of Inde-
pendence. This sentiment Of Independence is
not so uncommon in Canada, or a matter of
such gravity before Englshmen as to be held
a crime, or to be considered worth blushing
for. We beg our semi-detached semi British
neighbors not to blush if they can help it. The
Pays. French Canadian organ, which we
quote elsewhere, treats the subject of Inde-
pendence candidly and suggestively.

The dccease of Gov. Raymond will lead to
no sudden changes in either the Editorial or
Business management of The Ner- York Times.
The many rumOrs of Editors selected, aud
changes to be made, are all without foundation
in fact. The entire management Of The Times
has long been vested by its proprietors in Gov.
Raymond as Editor, and Mr.. George Jones as
Publisher. by this arrangement, Mr.. Jones
succeeds to the responsibilities which he so
long shared with his distinguished associate;
and under his supervision The Times will be
onducted-probably for some months to come
precisely as it was so often when Gov. Ray
mond was absent in EurOpe. or in Congress.

1t is stated in some of the newspapers that
the grave of the late Mr.. Charles g. Halpine
is neglected, and that no monument has been
erected to his memory. The performance OF
this last act of brotherly esteem and affection
would seem properly to devolve upon the lite
rary profession, which Mr. Halpine adorned
not less by his amiable personal character than
by his brilliant prose and verse. Newspaper
men. however faithfully and ably they may
work, are soon forgotten, after they have passed
away, by the public which they have served,
pnd it therefore especially becomes them to

Our Washington dispatches repeat state
ment, founded on some authority, that the
Cubans have received as much more from
Mexico and other like points in the way of
arms as has been so far obtained from the
United States. This story may be consigned to
the same limbo of news as that other report
that the British Government was on the very
verge of recognizing Cuban belligerency. If
Mexico has one gun to spare, or one penny, we
should like to know it.

The list Of Presidential appointments for
cadets at large to the West Point Academy is
another gratifying illustration of the genuine
regard which the Administration displays
toward the soldiers in the war. Every one of
these cadets is either the son of gallant Off
Ger, or the orphan child of father fallen in
the service. Defense of the flag comes to these
lads as an inherited duty, and their education
comes to the Government as at once priv
ilege and a prize.

Detective Gordon, on Saturday, that he had
killed his mother on the Goth of November, at
Canandaigua New York State, by striking her.
Very little reliance was placed in his story, as
his miud seemed to be wandering, but he was
searched and locked up at the Central Station,
and a telegraph despatch sent to Canandaigua
to learn the facts. After he had been placed in
a CELL the prisoner exhibited q razor, which had
escaped the notice of the turnkey, and threat
ened to cut his throat with it.. The razor was
taken from him without difficulty. Yesterday
reply was received to the despatch in which the
story was declared to be a fabrication. Fitz-
gerald admitted then that it was untrue, and
said it was owing to his having swallowed an
opium pill.
