Importaut Proposition.

Amportaut FrOpOsltlons
1t is stated that Mr.. Robertson, of
Washington, and Mr.. John Tyler, Of
Virginia, propose between them that
the Conservative men of the South Sc
lect their representatives from patriotic
statesmen in the Northern States, and
thus throw overheard the villainous
carpet-baggers and the false, perfdious
and treacherous scalswags. They con-
tend that one days prior residence in
the State will be all the requirements
of the Constitution as to qualification.

The Presidents Tour.
Secretary Boutwell, was the only
member of the Cabinet who went with
the President, Secretary. Cox having
been called to Ohio by sickness il, his
family. There was good deal OF ex-
citemeAt here, as soon as word got out
that there had been an accident to the
Presidents train, which continued till
information came that no one was killed
and none of the Presidential party in
jured. Secretary Rawlins will probably
20 to Connecticut shortly.
BeIIiKereni Rights of CubRns.
AdVices received here are that Chilli
has formally joined Peru in recognizing
the belligerency Of the Cuban insur.
gents. These'two powers are the emily
ones which have taken this step, though
the Mexican Congress has given Presi-
dent Juarez authority to do so when
ever he pleases. The course of Chill
and Perm seems likely enough TO cause
US some embarrassment. The iron
clads bought by those States
were delivered on the pledge
that they should not be used
against any power with which we
are at peace until after they have been
taken to the countries purchasing them.
If Peru and Chill now ask to be relieved
from this pledge, as some persons here
think they will, our Government will
be met by protests frsm Spain. The
Minister from that country has already
complained informally, if rot officially,
at the disposition being made of the
Peruvian iron-clads, which have not yet
got beyond Cuba. The views of the
new Peruvian Minister on the question
involved have not come to light.
Cuba.
Recent advices from Cuba state that
the difficulty between the Spanish Off
Gals and organized volunteers is on the
increase and the latter have now almost
entire control of the government of the
Island. Such is their power that they
forced the acting Captain General to
ccuntermand the requisition of Dulce
on the home government for reinforce
ments to the troops.
Tax on Cotton Brokers.
A delegation of persons who act as
middle men between sellers and buyers
of cotton, and receive twenty-five cents
per bale for sales they bring about, are
here to protest against being taxed one
twentieth of one per cent. as cotton
brokers. The Commissioner of Internal
Revenue has given them hearing, and
will decide next week on their claim.
