Giving president Grant n Hint.

The Cincinnati Commercial is bot
pleased with the report that the Presi.
dent intends to turn Mr.. Thomas out of
the Cincinnati Postoffice, aud appoint
Mr.. Foulds, a personal friend of the
President, in the place. 1t is rather sar-
castle in the following suggestions:
"If we are to understand that Presi-
dent Grant makes exceptions to all
rules in regard to his personal friends
and the friends of his family, we have
TO observe that his list of acquaintances
is, perhaps, hardly sufficiently extern
sive to warrant him in supposiDg that he
can select from them the best govern.
ing material in the country. We con-
TESS that we cannot regard it as an aus
pioious symptom that the first change
in an important Office in this part ofthe
State is the removal of an officer of re-
cogniZed efficiency and the appoint
ment of a gentleman who has, there is
no doubt, many excellent qualities, but
whose promotion seems rather due TO
the circumstance that he was personal
friend than 10 any endowment OF expe-
rience.
We have not the slightest objection to
seeing Mr.. Foulds in the service of his
country in the capacity of Postmaster,
but as be is resident of Covington,
and the Postmaster in thai town is an
old gentleman, and not able TO give
much attention to the office, and withal
Ia comfortable circumstances, we sug-
gest TO the President that he should re-
move Jesse X. Graut from the Coving.

CUBA.
The Insurgents Alb,

The Innurgeuts Abolish slavery.
The revolutiOnists in Cuba have at
length hit the keynote to success in de-
erecting the abolition of slavery. By
telegraph we learn that this decree was
issued in the Central Department by
the insurgent Assembly of Representa-
tiyes, and that the freedmen may either
become soldiers or remain cultivators of
the soil. The effect of this decree must
be damaging to the interests of the
whole western end of the island, where,
as vet, the patriot effort has met with
small success. 1t will cause great
commotion among the thickly settled
districts, and must act as 1t acted upon
our own territory when Mr.. Lincoln
issued his emancipation proc lamation
and thus broke the backbone of our re-
bellion.
The insurgents now propose to con
centrate their forces and establish the
headquarters of their government near
Santiago de Cuba, in the southeastern
part If the Island. Thus the rcvolu-
ton is every day becoming more consOl-
idated and of frmeI texture. There Is
now but one direction for it, and that Is
onward; for every hatred that ever ex-
listed or has been created in the Cubans
by Spanish misrule has full opportunity
to vent itself and fiRd redress. The eff
forts of the Spanish troops to suppress
the movement are every day becoming
more impOtent. The rage of the "vol-
unteers"-the wreckers Of Caba, as
they may very Justly be termed-is
venting itself in wholesale slaughter
that would disgrace even the govern
ment of England in its East India mas
sacres. The Spanish troops are also
commit ting great outrages upon the
plantations, and war Ofdesolatlon APP
pears to already exist. We have often
stated that this would be the policy of
Spain when she found that there was
no longer hope of olinging to the ISL
and. When she leaves it of her own
5curd it will be when this rich treasure
house has been completely wrecked and
given over to internal anarchy.
1t becomes a very serious matter for
the United States TO consider our pres
ent and future relations To the island of
Cuba, aud act at once with reference to
our interests. Every day destroys what
il will take time and millions of dollars
10 build up again after the island comes
into our hands. 1t is not for the inter-
est of this continent that we should per-
nit any European power to desolate
any part of our territory. In the first
place there is no sense in the idea that
a nation in this age has right to pos
sess colony. 1t is in opposition to
every ruling and civilized principle of
the nineteenth century. Much less
righf hos onv pnwer m deSnlate n fOrci-
bly, held colonial possession, when that
colony desires to have what we claim is
due TO all maukiud-a government of
its own, where every section can be rep
resented in common with all the other
districts or provinces of the govern
ment. Cuba has never had this. The
only privilege she has received is that
of supporting old Spain in her Incidence,
ignorance and arrogance.-Ne,r York

All other temporal blessings are comparatively
worthless. The dyspeptic millionaire who hal
tried all the portions of the medical profession
