Taking an interest in all assertions OF femi-
nine rights" we have been much moved to
read that in October last in Rails (Miss) Go.
Mrs. Oettie, dame of great muscularity, did
chastise Mr.. Oettie with broad-ax," whereby
he was awfully injured about his head and
neck, but did escape with his life. We have
heard of enraged wives who used the plates
with stupendous effect at breakfast, and could.
upon emergency, hul the tea-pot-but the
broad-ax was going. little too far. unless the
lady wished to show that she, too, could ne,
ship-carpenter. This incident would have
seemed to point to series of domestic execu-
tons horrible to contemplate; but Mrs. Oettie
has been locked up, and can't go about pro-
mitigating the RsW principle"

Edward i. Ketchum was on Saturday re-
leased from State Prison at Sing Sing and re-
turned to his family Mt Yonkers, where he at
tended with them the Episcopal Church on
Sunday. We believe his release is called a
pardon-perhaps accompanied by one-but that
he had served out the full term OF his SEN
tence, except the deduction prescribed by law
for unexceptionable behavior while confined.
He has many friends who will rejoice to hear
that he is in good health
Under the influence of hallucination, Mr..
Ketchum perpetrated gigantic forgcries' which
he took no pains to conceal, remaining in the
CITY after they were discovered, and preserv-
inc in his lodging the unused forgeries on which
alone he was arraigned and-pleading guilty

The islands of st. Thomas, st. Domingo,
and Cuba have all been pointed to in relation
to the recent unusual outgoing from our navy
yards That st. Thomas is to be the scene of
a great rendezvous, that the power of Spain
in Cuba is to be threatened, and that the Do
minCan island is to be taken in tow by the
United States, are various shapes of specula-
ton. If the Government has only become
alive to the necessity of having strong feet
in West Indian waters. its movement is i'm
portant enough. Aggression on our part is
out of the question, and danger of any other
kind has apparently not yet come to head.

that the countrymen of Wilberforce can
pause before question of helping
Irishmen to the ownership of the land
which they love, and which by sweat and tears,
and blood they have earned. Only by bounty
and magnanimity can England solve her Irish
question-and in view of all her traditions,
this is but just. Her generosity can only make
amends for past wrongs; her grudging can but
perpetuate a memory of unstatesmanliIxe
crimes, and plumbers, if possible, worse than

What the London Papers Have 10 Say Of the
Spanish-cuban War.

LoSDoS, September 22.-The Times SAYS
the Spaniards have found an advantage in
1heir bold display OF patriotism and ma
1ional courage. They met an imagined
atfront with bold defiance, though their
adversary Is ten times more powerful
than themselves. Sickles is manifestly
alarmed al the result Of his proceedings,
and has requested further instructions,
and pending a reply from Washington, he
desires 90 withdraw his note. II this Is
the actual position Of the case, Spain owes
it to her own fesrlsssness, which may
savor OF unrsason, but dors not partake
of the nature OF hrayado. She has de-
flRred that If she is driven IL that eN-
frsmity, she viii fight, and no doubt she
will. Int for her 10 gain an advantage
by her doing 50, is ont Of
the question, but as matters stand
ehe will lose less by war than
her adversary. America may decline an
easy victory on such OnerCus and partial
terms, but the people and Government Of
Rpalo are resolved not Ia part with Cuba
without astruggle. \ contest could only
result iM tue Nd'illl'f ~ 'NbAf '+'h hlA'A
with other, but slighter losses. Siekles
e,Dected no such resistance as his note
provoked, and possibly in the face Of such
opposition, his proceedings may be qual
stiea or repudiated by his own Govern
ment. ItIs believed that he exceeded his
authority. and that America cannot be re-
spOnsible for il
The Standard thinks that the loss oi
cuba, and perhaps Porto Rico, would be
the certain result of war between Span
and the United States. and the mischief
for Spain would end after some months
Of combat, for she must agree 10 peace
But this mischief would bring with II no
corresponding good to the United States,
aa a war would cause a serious Interrupt
tiOn Of her commerce and result in the
wholesale destruction of her shipping,
but Il is not probable that ,he American
Government VIII interfere further with
Cuban affairs.
The Daily Telegraph estimates that the
declaration Of Father Hyacinthe is mere
Iy one of the many manifestations re-
Vealing the commotion Ia the Roman

As the day wore on the excitement and
activity in the stock market died out and
comparative quiet and dullness reigned
there; but throughout the afternoon, ia
the long room, stock experienced iittul
rallies, and there WAS a considerable re-
covery from the lower prices in the morn

but an unsettled feeling prevailed, and
the purchases were largely TO recover short

WASHINGTON.
President Grant and Family Return to the
White House.


WASHINGTON, September 22.-Presi-
dent Grant and family returned TINS
morning, and Secretary Cox and Attor-
nev-General Hoar called on him soon af-
ter his arrival. He subsequently visited
the Department OF State.
After the return of the President tins
morning, and particularly as he spent
several hours with Secretary Fish at the
State Department. much anxiety was ex-
pressed as 70 the character of the confer
ence, the suppOsition being that it had
reference to our relations with Spain.
This is probable, but there is no authority
for the positive assertion. 1t Is certain,
however, that no action has been taken
in the premises. 1t is known that some
time ago Minister Siekles was instructed
TO offer the United States Government
KS mediator between Spain and
Cuba, and representations had been
made to It by respectable parties
who had visited Spain and obtained inter
views with prominent persons, that its
filendly offices would meet with favor,
such offices not having been uncommon
in our own history and that of other ma
tions.
Mr.. Sicllles approached the Spanish
Government on the subject and had the
desired interview, contrary to the Euro
pean kilograms, and there IS no reason for
supposing that the Spanish Government
took offense, or has sought TO involve
other Governments in IFS action, but,
after due consideration Of the subject. has
thanked the United States Government
for its friendly disposition, but is not dis
posed TO agree TO our accommodation be
tween Spain and Cuba, on the terms pro-
posed. The end of the matter is simply
that the mediation Is declined.
The Secretary of the Treasury has au-
thori7ed the payment of the coupons fall
ing due on the first Of November, upon a
rebate of the interest - the rate of six
per cent per annum.
