Cu6a-The Presidents sympathies with
" all people struggling FOR liberty and self.
government" are frankly stated in his
message. But, while thus openly ex-
pressing them, he:as frankly declares that
mo matter how unpleasant the task" he
has endeavored to execute our neutrality
laws in good faith. On the main subject
he thus spoke:
The people and Government of the
United States entertain the same warm
feelings and Sympathies for the people of
Cuba in their pending struggle that they
manifested throughout the previous struS-
gle between Spain and the former cold
ness in behalf of the latter; but the CON
test at no time assumed the conditions
which amount to a war in the sense of in
ternational law, or which would show the
existence of a de ffacto political organiza-
ton of the insurgents sufficient to Justify
a recognition of belligerency." nee.
And he adds: "Our course should al
ways be in conformity with strict Justice
and law, international and local." which
none of those criticising him can deny.
sage proves, in the Golden Rule for nations
as well as individuals. Whatever our
sympathies may be, he holds that we
should act towards others exactly as we
would have had others act toward us dur
ing our recent struggle for national exist
ence, or, as we would have them act here
after, if, unhappily, another dark cloud
of civil war should ever overshadow cur
land. But, while thus performing "the
unpleasant task" he submits the whole
matter to Congress, which, representing
the people, and fresh from their midst, is
certainly proper arbitrator on ques-
ton that might eventuate in war
with q foreign power and its pos
sible allies, and the increased debt
and taxes, diminished commerce, and re-
newed bleodshed that might result if
recognition was not justified by the inter-
national law, whose infraction by others
in our own case we have so publicly and
emphatically condemned at the bar of the
civilized world. 1t is remarkable coin
cidence, that, while the President was

DEATH OF JUDGE DREW.
The New Orleans Bulletin Of yester(

The New Orleans Bulletin of yesterday
has the following:
Louisiana has lost one of her brightest
and most gifted sons in the death Of Judge
Harmon A. Drew, of Claiborne parish, who
died in this city yesterday morning.
Judge Drew was a native of the parish in
which he had his late residence. Com
mencing the practice of the law in Carroll
parish, he rose rapidly to distinction at the
bar in that part Of the State, and as District
Attorney, by his diligence, visor and elO-
ouence, impaired lustre and prestige to
the office such as seldom attend the perform
ance of its functions. subsequently. having
returned to Claiborne parish, he was
elected District Judge in the large dis
trict, including that parish, and served for
several terms in that capacity, with an
ability at once distinguished and unques-
toned. As member of the louisa
Legislature of 1866, the first organized after
the war, he was content to represent his
constituents rather by the discrimination Of
his votes and his personal Influence than
by frequent and lengthy harangues and
when General Sheridan suppressed that
body. he did not aspire to seat in another
Legislature elected under system of in
direct military dictation.
Judge Drew was a younger brother OF
Thomas Drew, for a number of years Gov
ernor of Arkansas, and the head of the
Democratic party in that State when it
boosted such champions and representatives
as Yell and Sewer; and another brother,
Richard Drew. was a State Senator, and
equally briliant, able and popular, and
seemed plainly destined for the highest
political and official position in the State,
when ne was taken off by sudden and I'M
timely death.
But these professional political and family
"reminiscences must fall cold upon the ears
of those who knew the deceased as a social
companion of unsurpassed geniality and Of
exquisite wit and humor, and as a friend F,
brother. husband, father-devoted, fond,
fervid in a remarkable degree in ali these re
lations. With those who knew him thus,
"to know him was to love. him, to name was
to praise" His bosom was the abode OF
every honorable sentiment. His heart over
flowed with all generous emotions.

BRIEF MENTIoN-We have only two bur
glaries to chronicle. II. NJ. Hushfelds gro
Gerry store wasentered on Monday night, but
nothing stolen, as the thieves made enough
noise to raise a policeman who was doing
beat duty on the corner.
Mrs. Hudson, of 1872 Customhouse street,
has made a complaint of burglars carrying
off some twenty dollars in greenbacks and
other property belonging to her.
The police are very emphatic in believing
that the buildings Nos. 8, 10 and II Natchsz
street, are about precipitating themselves
upon the heads of the passers by, and have
reported them accordingly.
