is IT IMPROBABLE? ...t .f +
The speculation is not so unlikely one
for England and France to conceive as may at
hrst appear. Could the idea be realized, it
would certainly receive the coriial approval
Of intelligent Americans everywhere. We
would not consent, of course, to the protecto-
rate nonsense, because if any such were need
ed we are the ouly power that could give it.
An English and French protectorate would
imply, of course, that it was the United
States from whose aggressive tendencies pro-
lection would be needed. 1t is impossible for
personal governments controlled more or less
by the o.d selfish traditions and policies, to
believe that reat nation can have any 9TH
er purpose than to absorb and aggraudize
itseit at the expense of its weaker neigh
pors. Such an idea as equity and peace
between an overshadowing republic and
number OF small sones adjacent there
TO Is as uncomfortable to such coarse
and selfish perceptions as Great Britain
possesses, as 1t is for her to realize for
one moment even the standpoint from which
we view her conduct during the late rebel
lion. We present grievous wrong done us,
and they wonder why the offer of dollars and
cents do not blot it out of our memories at
once. 1t is considered a Sentimental griey-
ance" and they, John Bull declares, cannot
be reached by international tribunals or de-
cisions; our complaint is of their treacherous
and malignant failure to respect internation-
al comfy. European publicists and states
men don't exactly recognize the existence of
any such idea, though they may talk so, un-
less they are representatives Of weaker pow
ers. 1t Is hard to understand that we thor
oughly believe in International comfy, and
that we fulfil its obligations in the most
strenuous fashion. As witness we call up
the San Jacinto affair. So equally difficult is
it for old world politicians to understand that
we should be glad to see such nationalities
grow up as the West Indian Confederacy
idea presupposes.
Whatever there may be in the scheme,
little or much, it is certain that some of the
Cubans here and Ia New York, deyotedIy
believing in annexation, are seriously disturb
ed at the idea of it. The probability of such
a scheme being attempted, or at least advo-
Gated, is considered as not unlikely 10 disturb
the harmony Cuban councils.

CorroS AND REsUMPrIoN.-l Is reported
that Mr.. Jay Cooke, who has mado an enor-
nous fortune out OF tho government by selling
its bonds on commission, has laid before the
authorities at Washington a. carefully prepared
plan for funding tho national debt and rcsnm-
in specie payments, which it is said has been
received with favor by those who have exam
incd it. The details have not boca mads pub
lie. but the P.l.ade!p:.ia North American
tRldi.aD says of this plan:

SpEcuI.AToRs COME TO GRIEF.-The history
Of tho land operations of Mr.. Frazier, Presi-
dent, and Fl. s. Quackenbush, Treasurer, Of
tho American Agricultural and Mineral Land
Company who have been arrested and held to
bail in Now York, upon charges OF false repre-
sentations regarding three million acres of
North Carolina lands, is giyon at length in the
Augusta Constitutionalst. The writer says:
Their operations have not been confined to
Virginia n'onc. They were In treaty for enor-
nous bodies OF lands in North Carolina, and
through the Postmaster at Say lnnah, and
other parties in this State, they hoped to OBJ
tain landed property on their bonds here. In
South Carolina, the Attornoy-General,o or one
of the Supreme Court Judges, Colonel Willard,
formerly United States officer, had promised
to aid thcm, and both Ex-Governor Orr and
General Harrison, Of South Carolina, had fa-
vorabv received their agents, who we're look
ing af,er Blue Ridge Railroad lands. In Ton
nessee they pretended to own thirty thousand
to forty thousand or fifty thousand acres on
the line of the Nashville and Chattanooga
road But since tho last disclosures, il has
vet to bo sho wn that they have paid out single
cent for Southern lands. Yet, had not another
sWindlc OF theirs been practiced upon gen.
tlcman of well known integrity and gre1t firm
ness of character, with an unrelenting perse-
cution of everything that is mean or dlshon-
orablc, they would, perhaps, by their address,
and ingenuity, have been enabled to carry
their projects into execution among confidlng
landholders il tho States OF Virginia and North
Carolina, aud probably in other States.

THE COMING MIN.

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Times, writes as follows concerning the
looming man. aud his Cabinet:
It ia the universal remark that no one can
remember o similar time in the history of in
Coming administrations, when the commence
ment OF it's official functions was 80 near, and
yot SO little known concerning the personnel
of the new government. General Grant is
proving to be "a remarkable receptacle OF in
formation" :" said prominent officer the other
day: che drinks it all in, but vouchsafes never
n word in reply to Indicate tho decision OF
his mind" "Yet, Continued the same person,
who has had much conversation with General
Grant, "I have no doubt but that he has his
decision generally made up, and the men for
tho Cabinet fxod upon, subject TO such changes
as new information and muturcr consideration
NAV suggest" The source OF this utterance
is smell as to give it much weight, bat Us can
not reveal it. your readers will have to take,
INV word for it. Genera! Grant does not dig
cnss names for tho Cabinet with his callers.
With those who have u right to talk on tho
subject he discusses principles ant, ideas whlrll
should govern tho selection Of tho men. He
Lps said, believe. that in selecting Cabinet
ho wouli be governed by the Same considera-
tion which governed him in selecting his stall
and his generals, to wit: Their entire htncss
for the work they had TO perform. a very
plain and simple proposition, truly; but ono
Which, if acted upon, will work great reform
in tbs government.
