If Spain possesses statesmen they ought now
see with chagrin the disastrous loss of a great
opportunity. Slavery is practically dead in
Cuba-no thanks to SehOr Lopez de Ayala,
supposed to have been the special purchase Of
the Cuban man-traders; no thanks TO Gen.
Prim, who had visited the island and under
stood its needs; no thanks to Fernando Ser
ranO, who had once urged, and again ceased
to urge Cuban rights and who knew that
Slavery was at the bottom of all Cuban wrongs.
The Portuguese have taken the lesson bllndy
taught by Spain, and stepped over her. BY
decree of the 25th of February last, Portugal
aboishes Slavery. Until April 20 Of 1873, all
ex-sIaves of her colonies are TO be in state
of Chinese apprenticeship, when they will be
admitted to the rights of Portuguese citizens
In decree dated Dec. IA, 1854, Portugal had
manumitted all slaves belonging to her govern
ment, and gave others the chance of buying
their own freedom. 1t cannot, therefore, be
pleaded for Spain that she has lacked spur and
example right at her own door. Her failure to
accept the chance of abolishing Slavery. and
thereby of saving Cuba, is the most formidable
proof we have of her political bluntness and
defect Even at this late day we have no
assurance that Spain will quicken her pace
against Slavery.

COMING TO HELP Us.

A very general movement, looking to eml-
grafton TO the United States, has been started
by the artisans of England. especially those
engaged in the Cotton manufacture. Preston,
Blackburn, and Darwen are among the prlncl-

paying freely to defray the expenses OF those
who will 90. Mr.. Henry Davis of London Is

We respectfully commend this statement
to the attention of The Erening Post, which
tries to keep grave face while it argues that
our Protective Tariff is destroying American
Manufactures and building up the British on
their ruins
The Times continues:
"The notion il general among the operatives there that
the manu- f1oiufHg trade Is lodrig this country altogether
and II fact that this OF the reasons gwen and

One of the finest things we ever read in the
whole course of our life is the brilliant account
in yesterdays Times of the sinking of the Co
ney Island ferry boat Norwalh. The reporter
tells us how the steamboat 'Cith tuH sails
"spread before the breeze, was steaming on her
course" when Il scow heavily laden with mud
was observed bearing down upon her with
terrific velocity They struck; the scow
stove an immense hole in the side OF the
steamer; and the fracture being of such huge
proportions afforded an easy influx for an
enormous volume of water The last strug-
giles of the doomed ferry boat were awful 10
witness. "For few minutes she seemed to
"battle spasmodically with the cumbrous load
(which was depressing her, but becoming more
"and more depressed, with sudden plunge
"bows first, she performed complete somer-

who had not already got off leaped into the
water, "frantic with the perils surrounding
"them," but no one was lost; which happy
result, remarks the careful chfonicler, " was

The report made to the Massachusetts Senet.
upon Female Suffrage has in some respects N,
merit of being logical, which is not an nsual
quality in discussions of this kind. We deem
the Report, however, singularly unfortunate in
the following historical Illustrations: "Wheu
eve find woman with the military capacitv
"of Joan of Arc we shall make her our Gen.
"eral. When we meet with one with the exc.
"cutive ability of Zenoba or Queen Bess we
shall elect her Governor or President, and not
"before." There is no evidence whatever that
Joan of Arc possessed any military capacity in
the modern acceptatiOn of the phrase. She
was priestess, and not a soldier. When the
army arrived before Orleans she said to Dunois
Indignantly; "Was it, then, by your advice,
" that we came by the way of Sologne ~ =" Such
was the advice of our oldest and wisest cap
"tains," said Dunois. "My Lord" replied Joan,
" the counsel of God is wiser than the counsel
" of men. You intended to deceive me; you
"have deceived yourself. Fear nothing. God
has appointed my path" Fancy Napo-
leon or Gen. Grant deciding a question of
military approaches in that way ThesMaid of
Orleans awakened extraordinary enthusiasm;
she exhibited great personal courage; she was
employed by generals in an age of fanaticism
as a leader; but that she was "a general in
our sense of the word, there is no reason for
believing; and we are quite content that it
should be so. Of Elizabeth it may be said that,
shrewd ruler as she was, she called no women
to her councils. And in many respects, she was
a very bad ruler indeed, cruel of heart, a hard
handed oppressor, constantly false, personally
the slave of her passions, and particularly of her
vanity. We should be very sorry to have such
a woman, or one at all like her, President Of
the United States; and the Massachusetts
Committee may be sure that they would not
relish such a ruler. especially if she boxed their
ears, or commanded their heads to be cut of.
The less said of historical queens in this dis
cussiOn, the better. We assure the advocates
of Female Suffrage that there is very little "
be made out of such examples.

insipcerity and the suspicious silence OF
tIe CAPTAIN General with regard to the whole
matter in question. CASTELAR, demands that'
when the insurrection shall be suppressed
slavery shall be abolished and slave-traders
banished. This remedy comes great way
after the crisis, and it seems to US that the ue-
mand is, therefore, sentimental. Though Inc
orator is willing to lay down Cuban platform
OH the broadest grounds consistent with Span
ish unity, he dares not, any more than the rest
of his fellows, consent to the independence OF
Cuba. Hence, his speech is against the Amerl-
can principle which he formerly advocated, and
TO American ears is failure.

The Secretary Of the Treasury had less to
pay for his bonds yesterday, but his Cold is
also likely to sell for less. In fact, it looks as

The remarkable action of the Excise Board
yesterday will doubtless win the approval OF
the liquor-sellers. Whether it shall ultimately
receive the sanction of the Order-lOving DOr-
ton of the community will be better seen
when the plea under which it was carried
through shall have been tested. The liquor
dealers promise, in consideration of this reduc-
ton of one-half in the charges upon them for
license, to obey the law. Now let us see whether
we lose the money and the pledge too!

THE HISTORY or THREE DAYS.

We have supped so full with horrors during
the present week that an ordinary murder no
longer startles even the most nervous of us,
and the burning of half a millions worth of
property, the scalding and manning of a score
of men, collisions on the sea, explosions in the
harbor, are little incidents of the day upon
which we hardly waste n moments attention.
The record of Sunday shows a drunken
husband Teeling half naked through the
streets, covered with the blood of his wife
and children, and faint with self-inflicted
wound. The attempt at murder and suicide
has possibly failed; but will it be the better
for the wretched family to die or TO recover
On the next day there was a murder in Sheriff
st,-the elimination of long g-standng fcud
The explosion of an oil factory. at Bulls Ferry
injured twenty persons, and resulted in n great
confagraton A bank in Brooklyn, sup
posed TO he safe from ordinary ac-
cidents, was found TO have suffered
heavy losses through the msmanagement of a
President whom death has removed from the
reach of earthly courts And in yesterdays
paper we chroncled such long array of crimes
and disasters that the brain whirls at the mere
recital of them. A rich business man is found
Ill his ONCE with Ills throat cut. Inc Buperln-
tendent of the gas works in one of the suburbs
is discovered shot in four places by his own
hand. Two men are stabbed in street broil.
A sailor makes murderous assault upon a
woman. There is Stabbing afiray between
boys. Three children are arrested on suspicion
of drowning one of their playmates Another
oil factory takes fire and million dollars
worth of property is consumed. A steam-tug
is blown up and its crew badly injured. Two
vessels are sunk by collisions in the harbor.
This story is full of lessons, in the accidents
as we'll as in the crimes. The feverish blood
which courses through the veins of society
throws out its unwhOlesome eruptOns in more
than one form Corruption in the public morals,
extravaganza and unnatural excitement in pri-
Yato life. bear fruit " that recklessness of

The Virginia State Agricultural Society will
hold Field Trial of Reapers and Mowers at
Westover. near Richmond on the 9th day of
June, and we hope it may be largely attended,
not only by Virginians, but by citizens of other
States This is far preferable to the field trials
our folks had with Yirginians down that way
few years ago, yet we can hardly hope that it
will be so numerously attended. Still, good
many will be present and the result cannot fail
TO be gratifying.

beginning of the war to the end of April last

Unless their sanguine hopes outrun their
power, the Presbyterian Assemblies mean to
make short work of the Union question. Unable
to agree on the basis overturned to the Prcsby-

standards, recognized alike by both bodies.
The question is to come up in both
assemblies to-day, on the report of their Joint
Committee and, unless unexpected obstacles
are developed, it may be considered almost
certain that arrangements will be made either
for immediate union OF for union next year.
