Owing to the recent disasters to the English
cables the dispatches received here from
Europe yesterday were comparatively few.
The explanation made by the directors In
England was TO the effect that the number Of
dispatches which had accumulated on this side
of the Atlantic was so great, owing to the
enormous increase of messages from Europe
by reason of the late events on the Continent,
that it was deemed advisable to order the
transmission of messages eastwardly by the
French cable. As the two English cables are
not in working order, and as the only other
means Of communication was by the French
cable, of course we have to bear with the loss
which the disasters to the English cables inhct,
and patiently wait until the Injuries are re-
paired. IF the French cable should now give
out we would be completely in the dark as to
what was going on in Europe. 1t would be
almost impossible to estimate the amount Of
injury this would entail. II one argument
more forcibe than another can be urged for
the laying Of more ocean cables to link the
Old to the New World it Is the late Disaster
to the English cables. There is plenty OF
work for half dozen-yes, dozen-cables,
and the sooner they are laid the better.

THE MEETING OF CONGRESS. Tomorrow
begins the hurly -burly at Washington, with
the reassembling of Congress. The members
of both houses are moving to the capital from
all directions, and powerful lobby is said to
be already on the ground. The session will
be short, but lively, and the winter in Wash
ington will be gay, Notwithstanding the war in
France. They frolcked in Paris while Wash
ington was under siege, and now the game is
changed-that is all. We expect that there
will be quorum in both houses, and that our
readers will have the Presidents Message to
talk over at their six o'clock dinner.

The SATURDAY REVIEW AND TIE New YORK
Herald ---In another place in this day 8
HERALD will be found u not unreliable article
from the London SoturdAy Reoicn. As will
be seen, the Recieacer is ia trouble about our
astounding enterprise. A. correspondent of
ours some days ago lad The good fortune to
obtain an interview with the fallen I'm peror
at WilhelmshOhe. On subsequent day he
interviewed Marshal Bazaine. The leading
London pagers are not unwilling to make
use Of the results OF our enterprise. II is
novelty, the writer thinks, ''fSr news from
France Or Germany TO reach us by, way OF
New York" II is not the first tme the .Satu1-
dau Rerieac has been astonished by our enter
prise. nor il il the first time we have said
that il the Reviewers only had patience they
should behold greater wonders than even
these This other surprise has come. Others
will follow. We are not at all without the
hope that We shall yet be able to review an
English Prime Minister in London aud trans
init the interview from New York to London
for the benefit Of the British people. II the
British newspapers do net perform their work
more satisfactorily it may be our duty to per-
form it fer them.

Tho Spanish Butcher Holding Supreme
Power In Cuba.

Tho Spanish Butcher Holding Supreme
Power In Cuba.
Valmaseda, ''the Spanish butcher" as he
has been appropriately called, will have full
play for his brutal instincts In Cuba now. The
recall of General De Rodas, as Captain General
of Cuba, will leave Valmaseda in supreme
authority. Knowing what we do of his bloody
and merciless career In that unfortunate
island, when he held only subordinate COM
mand, we shudder at the frightful cruelty
which the Cubans are likely TO endure now
that ne is to be Captain General. 1t is said
ne takes the place Of De Rodas temporarily,
and 1t Is to be hoped that his rule will be
short; but he and the Spanish volunteers have
been long working for this object, and have
more than once defed the authority of De
Rodas. In fact, General De Rodas was not
cruel enough, with all the atrocities be has
committed to suit this monster and his brutal
volunteers. They have been in a state of
revolution against the legitimate Spanish
authority as well as the Cubans, the difference
being that while they resisted for the purpose
of oppression the Cubans revolted to obtain
republican freedom. The record OF the bloody
deeds of Valmaseda and his volunteers, which
has been published from time to time in the
American press, has no parallel in modern
times. The barbarities they have committed,
the wholesale slaughter Of unarmed people
yes Of even women and children-and of the
shooting and garrotng of numbers of Cubans,
without trial, stamp them as monsters of
cruelty Their conduct ia a blot upon the
civilization of the age. They are the enemies
of humanity, and ought to be classed with
barbarians by all civilized people. What
disgrace to Spain, that has permitted such
enormities; and our own enlightened and
humane government has folded its arms COM
placently while such deeds have been done at
our very doors-yes while American citizens
have been brutally murdered How long will
such crimes against humanity and civilization
be permitted? Is the sympathetic voice of
the American people and of their representa-
tives in Congress to be forever stjhed through
the intrigues Of a nest Of spectators in
Washington, New York and Madrid? Is this
frightful, bloody work to go on and Cuba to
be ruined, because set Of spectators hope
to pocket some millions by the ultimate pur-
chase of the island? Unless something be
done now in behalf of the Cubans we may
expect to hear shortly of still greater bar
harity under the rule of Valmaseda.

CHEAP RAILROAD FAREs.-~it is satisfactory
10 be able to extract from the somewhat con-
fused proceedings Of the great potentates Of
the railroads who met at the St. Nicholas
Hotel on Friday that they have come to the
unanimous opinion that, whatever changes
may be made in equaliziHg the rates Of trans
portation, there shall be no increase Of fare.
Let them stick to that determination and the
travelling public win rejoices The rates Of
fare are toe high at the present standard.
They Will hardly bear an Increase. A little
pairing dswn would be- most acceptable.

In his report as Commissioner OF Internal
Revenue he estimated the receipts from that
source during the present fiscal year at
$12e, OOO, 900. The receipts for the first FIVE
months of the year amount to 10000, 600,

DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMEN BREAKING
HEADS IN North CAROLINA The old leaven
still works in the South. Newspaper criti-
cism upon the conduct Of public men still pro-
vokes resort to violence and scenes which
are disgracefnl to the parties engaged. Yes
terday, in the city Of Raleigh, Gaming affair
occurred in the public streets between General
Clingman, formerly United States Senator,
and Mr.. Turner, editor of the Raleigh Sentinel,
which resulted in severe injuries to both par
ties. The attack was made by Clingman, in
consequence of some offensive articles which
appeared in the newspaper. Turner seems to
have made good fight, for Clingman got the
worst Of the conflict, having to be carried OIL
the field h0rs de combat. 1t was very dis
graceful affair altogether. People assuming
to be gentlemen ought to know that a street
fight is not the most decorous way to resent
attacks upon their character. On the con-
trary, ii is the first resort of the rufian.

At this pleasant opening of December, while
the weather for some days past has outshone
fair May in the morning and outblushed June
at eventide, thousands Of hearts that thrill
once in while with gentle memories of the

nouncement in some of our papers published
at New York, under foreign auspices, that
such and such party is prepared to send off
his usual batch of gift packages to Europe.

destination on Christmas Eve. One OF these
agents reminds folks that he has done the same
thing with entire accuracy and success for
nearly twenty years past, and winds up with
cheerful flourish Of Jubilatiou over the 'happy
hearts at home in the merry Yule tide
Alas! we greatly fear that the homes Of
France and Of old Fatherland, at least, will
be far other than merry in the approaching
holiday season Of 1870. Mourning and misery
fill thousands upon thousands of them which
were bright and joyous only twelvemonth
ago. Beloved forms have vanished from them
forever into the red mists of war. Moloch,
disguised in spangles and red flannel and
calling himself ''Glory," broods with ghastly
smile over the wide region that 80 lately
laughed but now weeps, from the Elbe to the
Loire. The sweet chime of church bells is

the hallowed sanctity of consecratcd cemete-

with fresh graves, and the voice of the

The War Situation in France.

| Apart from the despatch from Brussels,
! announcing an assault on the morning OF
Friday on the positions occupied on the east
bank Of the river Marne by the forces OF
Genera! Ducrot, nothing has been done by the
armies around Paris or the forces occupied in
watching the movements of General Paladines.
Though Ducrot's achievements accomplished
nothing more than the extension OF the Ger
man lines on the southeast Of Paris, and the
real object of the recent sorties from Paris TO
effect junction between the forces of the
capital and the Army of the Loire was
defeated, the Germans resolved to regain lost
ground and drive the French forces within the
walls Of the city. In this attempt, if the
Brussels dispatches speak truly, they were
foiled. On the morning Of Friday the Duke
Of Saxony, at the head Of the Twelfth and
Twenty-eighth corps and division Of the
Wurtemberg troops, made the effort to dislodye
Ducrot's army from tho villages which he
held on the east bank Of the river. The as
sault was made with great earnestness en- The
part of the Germans and resisted vita cqua!
The French fell back, aad the Ger
mans, following up the seeming advantage
were brought within range Of the guns Of
Forts Rosny and Nogant, when murderous
fire was opeaed on them. Fresh reinforce
ments from Paris also coming up at the time,
the Germans were moi Only checked
in their assault bat were driven
back with serious loss. Beyond this
no result was achieved by the French.
The Prllssians, we are told, are concentrating
at Etampes. Ii this be the case the French
army is not south OF Orleans. as the de-
spatches Of Friday would lead MS to be-
Iieve. Though no mention is made of
the exact whereabouts Of the Army
a position near to that held by il at the early
part of the week-that is, 10 the north of Or
leans. A late despatch from Tours says
that 1t is again advancing: Should this
report prove true battle between Gene
raj Paladines' forces and the army Of
Prince Frederick Charles is almost certain.
In the North the Germans are still active, US
we find that the town Of Abhcvile is 0ccu-
pied and Doulcns s threatened. Whether
success or failure attends the present
endeavors of the French armies it must
be conceded that the French republican troops
are maintaining French honor with far more
intelligent resistance than the armies of the
empire succeeded in doing when Napoleon was
Emperor.

FIGHT IN THE MEXICAN CoNGRE ss.--A
rich scene occurred in the Mexican Congress
on the 14th of last month. The abolition Of
the Free Zone was the subject under discus
sien. During the progress Of the debate q
member from Matamoros deliberately walked
up to one of the members from Tamaulipas
and struck him over the head with lead
headed cane. So the despatch from the city
az Mexico informs us. The result of this
attack was the drawing of a revolver, clinch
aad q roll over on the floor. This little diff
Guilty may be regarded as hopeful sign. Such
scenes have been enacted in Washington ere
this. Possibly the Mexican Congressman may
be taking lessons from their American cous-
ins. This for commencement will do, but
che next time we expect they will copy some
better example than the one which they
sslscted. Try it again, Sehors.
