Another outrage upon an American in Cuba
is reported in despatch from Havana. The
story is that Captain Franklin of the fishing
smack Fulton had helped the assassin Of Cas-
tanon to escape from Key West, and had
landed Colonel Tucker in Cuba. On the ar
rival of his vessel in the harbor, few days
after, party of men put off in boat, and,
rowing up to the smack called for the Capt,
and threatened his life. The latter, becom-
ing alarmed, took refuge on board the British
man-of-war Eclipse. The men in the boat,
finding that the captain had disappeared, re-
turned to the shore without molesting the
crew of the schooner. Through the efforts
of the new Consul General, Mr.. Biddle, they
have since been arrested, and the government
has sent guard to protect the Fulton.
Joseph Fish, a well known and wealthy

DISABLED VETERANS.

A meeting was held at Cooper's Institute
in New York on Monday evening, to aid
in the establishment of an Asylum for Dis
abled Veterans. General Sherman was
present and made a feeling speech, and a
letter from General Grant in sympathy
with the object Of the meeting was read.
General Sherman spoke briefly and to the
point He said:
II cannot tell you how it hurts my feelings
as soldier to hear that soldiers who have
been disabled in the service of the country,
and who are now unable to earn their daily
bread, have been sent to BlackwelPs Island.
GCries-'It is So l hope none of my sol
diers are there-none of the men who fought
at my side; if so, will take care that they
need go there no longer. Wild applause.
You who remained here at home while we
went down to the front, you who cheered us
on promised us that those of us who lost our
lives on the battlefield should have our chill
dren taken care of, and if any of us lost our
limbs to defend you, you would take care of
U.S. 1t was compact, national compact
The general went on to speak of the Soldiers
Home, which General Scott had founded at
the close of the Mexican war, and of several
homes for disabled soldiers which he had visi-
ted in various States of the Union. His voice
trembled at times with emotion. He took his
seat amid the most enthusiastic applause. In
his letter to the meeting, President Grant,
after regretting his inability to be present,
wrote as follows THE object is one that
appeals to the heart of every one who sympa-
thized and acted in the preservation of our
great republic. hope your meeting will be
very successful, and that not only will New
York provide for her heroes, but that each
State that has not already done so will give
the Just aid to the band of deserving men, and
also provide for the orphans of those who gave
their lives to preserve the life of their govern
ment."

A correspondent in Olamon writes the Ban
gor Wing that the room In which Mr.. and
Mrs. Ward were suffocated had no vent for
the smoke or gas arising from the coal, and
that the fire was built regardless OF that fact.
When discovered in the morning the husband
and wife seemed to be sleeping. looking as
life-like as though nothing had happened. No
muscle of their faces exhibited the least trace
of struggle for life, having inhaled the dead
" carbonic acid gas so unconsciously as to
give no alarm to themselves. This case
should give warning to others-not to use coal
in a room without a chance for the escape Of
gas. Seven children are left to mourn this
sad event One is on the West Branch, two
employed on the Portland ogdensburg Rail-
road. and four living at home.

The New York Times says the "demo-
cratic utcry against the radical amend
ment of the naturalization laws proposed
by the Judiciary Committee of the House,
is Ineligible enough. Facilities for man.
ufacturing citizens are as essential to the
New York Democracy as for ballot-box
stuffing and fraudulent voting generally.
The great body of the community, who
have no interest in knavery, desire more
creditable state of things; and every hon
est naturalized citizen as naturally desires
that the privileges he enjoys shall not be
unworthily or unlawfully extended. To
check existing abuses, the first step neces-
sary is to take from local Courts the power
to naturalize, and to centre that power in
Federal hands. where alone it properly be-
longs. We are not insensible to some de-
fects in the House bill. But the principle
on which it rests is sound. The adjust
ment of its details should not be difficult"

The interest bill passed by the House
fixes the rate of interest where no
rate is specified at six per cent, but allows
persons to contract for higher rate if they
choose. 1t is simply putting INTO the stat
ute and making legal what has long been
done illegally by evasive measures. The
question OF supply and demand con-
trolls the matter. This is recognition
of fact well known to those who have
studied the matter most. The law will
not raise the rate ofinterest; it simply gives
the countenance of law to facts over which
it has no control, and yields the sceptre to
that more imperative law, the law of sup
ply and demand, to which it might have
yielded years ago with advantage to all
concerned.

THE SPRING ELECTIONS.

The annual elections for town and city
officers will be held generally in the State
within few days. We trust it is not
necessary to remind republicans that these
elections are important to the organization
and success of the party, as well as the
interests of municipalities in which they
are held. These are the units from which
comes the national result. Discard organ
ization in these and all discipline is at an
end. Occasionally neglect occurs and the
delinquents wake up to find that the enemy
has stolen a march upon them. We might
point to examples of the kind within the
last year. all of which, we have no doubt,
are wide awake this year and fully resols-
ed never to be caught mapping again or to
be led away by movements of an irregu-
lar character.
One of the most plausible schemes of the
minority is to denounce the introduction
of politics into town affairs and clamor
loudly for the election of the "best men,"
Republicans can generally find enough of
"best men" in their ranks if they look for
them, so that if the leading object be to
get good men there is no necessity of trav-
cling outside the party to supply the de-
mand The design of those who clamor
against party and for the "best men" is,
when fully unmasked, but to gain places
for themselves or friends and create dis
satisfaction and generalization in the ma
iority which they hope will ultimately
destroy it and give them permanent mas
terry. In nine of every ten of "citizens'
movements" this is the object, and if the
end is not disastrous to the majority it is
more because of good luck than good man.
agement. The closer the town organiza-
ton is kept the better. We believe that
every town in the State which has a re-
publican majority has also enough of
ability in that majority to conduct the
town affairs well, and that the plea of
going outside of the party for officers is
visionary and pernicious. We hold to the
principle of competent and faithful officers,
but fail to comprehend the need of going
over to the democracy to obtain them.
The spring elections also exert large
influence upon the September election.
This wear we are to elect members of
Congress. therefore the struggle at the
polls in the fall win be sharp. We are
having foretaste Of what is to come then,
in the assaults now made upon the add
ministrasion and Congress by the demo-
cratic press; the efforts to divide, distract
and weaken us in the spring elections are
only preparatory to the grand movement
in September What fantastic trick"
may be played by the democracy to make
a break in our lines is past conjecture.
Last year they talked temperance through
bottles, and we see them now in
New Hampshire supporting the Labor Re-
form party, while they are on record in ey-

call by fishing vessels, the whole was disposed

We see it stated that the memorial tablet
which is to be placed upon the wall of the
the American Hall in the Memorial Building
of Colby University, at the expense OF the
Alumni Association, will not only transmit to
posterity the names of the twenty-one Water
Vile students who fell in the late rebellion,
but will also be the beginning of collection
of works of art which will, it is hoped, in the
course of few years, grace the walls OF this
beautiful building. The Committee who have
the matter in charge, have sought to present
a mural monument which shall commemorate
the devotion of their fallen brothers, and, at
the same time, be of such artistic design that
the eye shall not weary of beholding it. For
the purpose nothing has been found so appro-
pirate as modified copy in marble of Thor
waldsen's masterpiece, known as the Lion of
Lucerne. About 1000 will be expended in its
construction.
