COLUMBIA, May sth, 1s69.-Mr. Ed
tori see by the articles on the sub
jcct, in your valuable paper, that the
subject Of change of route tor the sur
plus products OF the great n Northwest is
seriously engaging the attention Of the
leading commercial men of St. Louis,
and that they are, at last, beginning to
realize the Importance of securing, at
least, a portion Of the great Valley Of
the Mississippi. This movement is not
only of great Importance to st. Louis,
but all of Central Iowa, as 1t is open
ing up new channel of commerce and
cheaper route to the ocean. Indeed,
it is the great natural outlet for all our
produce; and it can be demonstrated
that it will cost fifty per cent. less to
deliver the grain of Iowa at the docks
OF Liverpool, by this route, than by the
way of Chicago. Will not our farm
ers, who are so deeply interested in
this important movement, give this
matter some attention; and, if it is
found to be as I represent it, saving
of fifty per cent. in the cost Of trans
portation to the seaboard, and that it
will really make a difference of from
twenty-five to thirty-fiye cents per
bushel in the price to the producer Of
every bushel of wheat that he sends to
market, will they not throw their
voice and influence in the right direc-
ton and lend their aid and assistance
in bringing about SO desirable con-
summation?
Farmers, meet in your different
neighborhoods and discuss this matter,
for it is one of vital importance to all
of us. Let the friends OF cheap trans
portion, by the most direct route to
the ocean, where we will be, IN a great
measure, free of canal tolls and rail-
road tariffs, call meetings in the diff
ferent townships OF the county; and let
us, If thought advisable, have a conven-
ton, early in July, at Toledo, for the
purpose OF effecting an organization
and bringing the united influence of
the county to bear upon the move
ment. Let cheap transportation, over
the most direct and natural route to
the ocean, be our motto; let us all Ia
Dor TO attain this object and we will
soon be successful. Let us show, at
least by our zeal, that we are III earn
est, and that we deserve success.
Truly yours, J. w.

THERE is Republican paper OF some
reputation which innoceEtly and igno-
rantly refers to "that great body of
men who are for freedom of trade be-
cause they are opposed to all forms Of serr-
Kude, from chattet slarery down to i'm
prisonment for debt" (The italics are
ours.) We beg our readers to refrain
from jumping to the conclusion that
all who oppose protective tariff be-
long to the abolition school of politics.
Gerritt Smith is about the only exam
pie of dyed-in the-wool Abolitionist
being an advocate of so-called Free
Trade, though VIM. Lloyd Garrison
has lately announced himself as of that
faith. The old Abolitlonists, and most
OF the new ones: too, if we speak accu-
rately, are Of the other way Of think
ing. ofind real Free Trade advocates
we must look to that party whose op-
.. sition TO call forms of servitude, y
especially chattel slavery, has not been
very marked. The Democratic party
furnishes the bulk of the new ights on
the tariff question; and it requires but
little Yankee cuteness to guess that
those who are now advocates of No
Protection to American Skill and In
dastry, have not long been divorced
from that party, if divorced at all. In
fact, the journal we are now referring
to had become so slightly divorced
from the Democratic party that its
chief Editor did not want Andy John
son ousted from the Office he had dis
graced The fact is, the Southern
Democracy forced upon the country
all the disasters of Free Trade tariffs,
and all those, to-day, who mourn the
"lost cause" be they living North or
South still adhere to the old Demo
cratic dogma of the tariff. The Post
should change the word opposed to
advocate, and the sentence will then be
accurate.

CuBA, just now, is enjoying the at.
tention of the whole country. The
reports of last week are contradicted
and the revolutionary affairs are now
! stated, authoritativcly, to be on sat
isfactory footing. On the 18th ult> the
revolutionary party held Grand Con
gress ut Sibancon, at which Cespedes
presided, and which was composed OF
delegates from all parts OF the Island.
Resolutions declaring that the insur-
gents were fighting tor independence
from Spain and annexation to the
United States were unanimously
adopted. The Mexican Congress has
already conceded bclligcrent rights to
the Cubans; and, from Mexican ports,
arms have already been shipped to
their assistance. Reports are ahoat
that several ships have already left the
United States with men and munitions
intended or the insurgents, though
they may be exaggerations of the
truth. Washington reports arc to the
effect that President Grant is in full
sympathy with the Cubans and is anx.
ions to aid them whenever practicable;
and, it is even said that he has directed
the army officers having charge of un-
needed arms and munitions to sell them
to any parties who wish to purchase.
There seems to be no prospect that
our government will concede belliger-
ency to the insurgents; at least, until
they shall have established their cause
on firl1ier basis than that on which 1t
now stands.

TELEGRAPH BLANKS TO BE STAMPED
Upon all blanks used for writing tele-
graph messages by the public, is an
agreement on the part of the telegraph
company and the sender, cnumerating
the conditions upon which the mes
sage is received by the company for
transmission. The attention of the
Commissioner of Internal Revnue hav.
ing been called to the subject he re-
fewed the same to the Solicitor of the
Bureau, who decided that the condi-
tions, being in the nature of an agre Q.
ment must have five cent revenue
stamp affixed to each message. This,
of course, will have the effect of in
creasing the tariff five cents on each
message, to be paid by the public, or
the abolition on the part of the COM
panies Of the present form of blanks.

is to the effect that owners of land sold
tor taxes have the right to bring their
action for recovery within fire gears ef-
ter tie deed is recorded The language
OF the statute passed upon is as follows:

WASHINGTON, May IA prominent
politician who enjoys to considerable
extent the confidence of President
Grant. and who has recently con-
versed with him, says that the Prcsi-
dent expressed his opinio on freely upon
the Cuban insur rection, saying that his
own sympathies were with the OPP
pressed Cubans in their efforts to free
the island from Spanish rule. Were
he to follow his own judgment, the
rights of Cubans to belligerency on
land would be at once recognized, but
his Cabinet councillors, with two ex-
ceptions, opposed This course at the
present time, and he could not take
such an important step against their
advice. In short, this gentleman says
that the President made no conceal
ment as to his views, either upon this
question or Of one extending a pro-
tectorate over the island OF St. Do
mingo, which, in his opinion, would
be highly beneficial to the United States
in the future. Recent facts which
have come to light leave no doubt
that the resolution introduced in the
House, during the last session of Con-
gress, in relation to st. Domingo,
met the full approval of Gen. Grant
before being sumitted to the House
for action.
