Hrrt of March was s2,545,836, e45.3s; but
since that time has decreased about 81, O00,-
900. No payment of interest will be due
until the LIST of May, when s30,O0O,000 in
coin will be required to pay the semi annu-

The Cubans, In their struggle for indie
pendence, have the earnest sympathies Of
the American people, as well as the best
wishes of Congress. Several resolutions
in favor OF tho Cubans were submitted to
the last Congress, and on Friday again Mr..
Banks, OF Massachusetts, introduced joint
resolution authorizing the President to rec
ognize the independence of Cuba whenev-
or, in his opinion, a republican form Of
government shall have been in fact cstab-
lished. The resolution was referred 10 the
Committee on Foreign Affairs, but, no
doubt, will Re reported favorably and pass.
Some of the sympathy evinced for the Gu
bans may be attributed to a desire TO see
the Island transferred from the govern
ment of Spain to that of the United States.
That will very likely be the result, sooner
or later, II the insurgents succeed inthrow-
ing off the Spanish yoke.
Speaker Blaine has had an arduous,
troublesome work upon his hands in the
formation Of the House Standing Commit
tees. He seems, however, to have acquit-
ted himself admirably, as well, in fact, as
was possible under all circumstances Of the
case. The leading committees are strongly
cast, comprising the abe men of the House,
distributed severslly according to their spe-
cial qualifications and training. The work
ing, effective members are placed we'll in
| advance on their respective committees,
thus insuring thoroughness and prompt
tude in the dispatch of business. New
England 1t will be seen, has eight Chair
mansbips, as follows: Appropriations,
Dawes; Reconstruction, Butler; Claims,
Washburn Commerce, Dixon; Foreign
Affairs, Banks; Revision Of the Laws, Po-
land; Patents, Jenckes; Navy Expendi-
lures, Lynch. These are all very import
ant positions, and they are appropriately
filed.
The New York press speaks in the
highest terms of Mr.. Boutwells appoint
ment to the Treasury Department, and ex-
press confidence thathe will be fully equal
to the great charge dovolving upon him.
The World, even, in its financial article,
says Of him, after abiding to his firm adj
herence to the Massachusetts plan," for
establishing and confirming credit, by full
filling contracts not only in their letter but
spirit; 1.-THE same steady adherence to cor
rect principle and honor in the admins
tration Of the Governments financial af-
fairs by the Secretary of the Treasury,
could+not fail within reasonable time, to
place our five-twenty bonds higher than
those of Massachusetts-say at ITO to 100 in
gold" About the only paper that abuses
Mr.. Boutwell, is the Boston Post, and it
can never forget that he was once Demo-
crat and became an earnest Republican.

Mr.. Boutwell's views on financial matters
are very well set forth in the following ex-
tract from speech made by him last fall in
the Massachusetts Republican state Con-
vention;
awe do not propose 10 tolerate, sanction
or permit an issue of demand notes, paya-
BILE In coin, TO be exchanged for the time
bonds of the United States. We intend TO
limit, and IN necessary, TO diminish gradu-
ally, the volume of paper money until IL
approximates in value to the standard OF
coin. We intend that there shall be one
currency for the bondbolder, the merchant,
the farmer the pensioner, and the laborer.
That currency shall be OF the value of gold.
When this Is done, the public. debt will be
paid as the resources of the country may
permit, and TO the satisfaction of those who
pay and of those who receive. When the
credit of the country is restored, as II Will
be by the single fact of the election OF Gen.
Grant, we can issue bonds, payable after 10
or 20 years, bearing lower rate of interest,
and thus save annually the sum of 20 or 30
millions of dollars. But, first OF all, as a
means of restoring the pubic credit, the
people must dispel by their votes the APP
prehension of national dishonesty In the
public finances. The Republican party
knows no policy in finance but honesty"
Gen. Rawlings, the new Secretary of War,
is quite young man-not over 40 years of
age. He is native Of Illinois, and OF hum
BILE birth. He educated himself, and at an
early age adopted the legal profession. He
entered on the practice of law in 1859 at
Galena, ILL.,, and at once rose to considera-
BILE local distinction and great popularity.
In the Presidential canvass of 1860 he was
candidate for elector on the Douglas tick
ct, and stumped his Congressional District
with great vigor and success, and won great
reputation as a popular orator. He has
served with Grant in all his campaigns,
from Belmont to the Appomattox, and has
been his constant and trusted adviser in
every plan and negotiation. He was pres
ent at all the great surrenders, from Donel-
son TO the finale in Virginia, and, with
Grant, framed the important documents
which recorded those achievements. He
has been advanced in the army with Grant,
and rose to the highest rank in his grade !;
as in the case of Gen. Grant, new Office
was created for him, and he was made
chief of staff of the armies, with the rank
of Brig. General and brevet Major General.
No officer among those who at the close of
the war were so rapidly promoted, has re-
flected greater credit upon his rank and
upon the army ITSELF than this quiet, taci-
turn and agreeable gentleman, and untir-
ingly industrious, clear and practi-
cal officer.

THE HoRRoRs OF AN EMIoRANT SHIP
The horrors of the emigrant passage on
board the North German ships, is wildly
illustrated in the story of the sufferngs of
the crew and passengers of the James Fos-
ter, an American ship. This vessel left
Liverpool eleven weeks ago, with $50 steer
age passengers, and arrived at New York
last week with the loss of passengers and
IL Of her crew from ship fever, or diarrhea
The passengers give terrible account of
their sufferings under the tyranny of the
captain and officers. They were compelled
to do seamen's duty, and struck and dragg-
ed from their beds, when they protested
Their food was insufficient, barely suflicing
for two meagre meals per day, and also of
bad quality, the carpenter, who served it
out, adding curses when they complained,
and sometimes throwing it overheard and
telling them to starve. The Storage, where
they were confined, LAG in number, was but
so feet long by 35 wide, and imperfectly
ventilated. The cheering fire of the galley
was denied them, except at cooking mo-
ments. and the carpenter, in freaks OF ill
will, would often extinguish the Goals in
that part of the range devoted to their use
by throwing a bucket of water on them.
They also tell of feeble men kicked and
beaten by the officers until they yielded to
death; of teeth knocked out of complain
ing passengers heads by the carpenter, and
Of a sick cabin boy who was hauled to tho
upper deck by a rope and left there expos
ed, to die. Since their arrival two have
become insane from their sufferings, one
has died, and three others are not expected
to survive. The captain and mate are also
confined to their beds with fever. An in
vestigation is making concerning the al
legged cruelties.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE CONFERENCE.-The
woman suffrage convention held at SPRING
field, Mass, last week was well attended
and is considered gratifying success
Among the speakers, beside Lucy Stone
and her husband Of New York, G. G. Bur-
leigh of Northampton and Stephen s. Fos-
ter of Worcester, were Rev. DR., Ide, Rev.
A. X. Potter and Rev. ii. II. Nyo of SPRING
field, Rev. Mr.. Stebbins Of Chicopee, Rev.
r. Is. Stratton of Worcester, Mrs. c. f.
Barney, and Mr.. Vibbard, Mrs. Campbell
and Mrs. Coleman of Springfield. In the
course of the discussions Stephen s. Foster
said he should prefer to have his wife vote
as he did, but he would ten times rather
she should vote against him than not vote
at all. Rev. Mr.. Stratton said that he meant
to stay in the Orthodox Church and help
cleanse II from some OF its errors, and not
leave the church AZ Mr.. Foster had DONE
Neither should he stay away from the polls
because his vito could not vote, but he
meant to keep on voting until she could 20
and vote with him. The Convention voted
by an almost unanimous vote to protest
against any appropriation Of money by the
State to aid any college or other institution
OF learning which does not admit both sox-
es AS students upon equal terms.

Capt. Joseph Weston of Skowhegau,
Somerset Co., Maine, was born and spent
the SO first years of his life in Massachusetts,
and for the last so years he has been resi-
dent of Maine. Though not of a rowing
disposition, he took up his abode for time
on an unincorporated plantation; his resi-
dence was then changed to the township Of
Canaan, but not exactly pleased with that
promised land his next dwelling place
was in the town of Bloomfield, and finally
he stuck his stakes within the limits of the
euphonious Skowhegan. During these per-
ordinations he was citizen of three several
counties-Lincoifs, T<ennots-s-asi ss--s------..
rs well as of the two States of Massachu-
sets and Maine. And yet Mr.. Weston has
lived on one farm and in one house all this
time. He was born in the house, built by
his father in 1893, lives there still, and has
never moved nor lived in any other.

PROF. scHUsTER's CONCERT.

Our old friend, Prof Schuster, gave 10
our citizens an exceedingly interesting mu-
steal exhibition on Thursday evening OF
last week at the Lawrence Water Cure
which deserves, at least, passing notice.
Our readers, however, must content them
selves with tho subjoined hastily drawn
sketch of the performances.
Prof Schuster has heretofore for many
years given annual exhibitions OF the skin
and proficiency OF his pupils, but the pres
ent performance exhibited new feature
which added greatly to its interest 1t con-
sisted in the performance OF a Grand March
arranged for the occasion by Prof Schuster
by combining the music OF four Pianos and
one OF Estey's Cabinet Organs, with three
young ladies playing at the same time up
on each Of the Pianos, and Prof. Schuster
presiding at the Organ. Tho audience wit
messed the novel exhibition of thirteen diff
ferent persons playing at the same time up
on four different Pianos and one Organ aud
all playing tho same tune.
In musical parlance this new combina-
ton of wondrous Instrumentation produce
ed gorgeous effect, and we doubt not the
audience were as greatly charmed by tho
novelty OF tho exhibition as by the har-
mony produced.
Our young lady friends must excuse us
IL we omit TO notice in detail the varied en-
tertainment presented by the programme,
as our time and space will not admit OF an
elaborate criticism. We cannot omit how
ever, to suggest the marked and noticeable
