great measure to the hagrant Vio-
lations of the law by the agents Of the
insurgents and he shows what the sentiments
of the President and his oounsellors are by
declaring that had the Cuban Junta expended
their money and energies in sending to the
insurgents arms and munitions of war, as
they might have done consistently with our
statutes and tho law of nations, instead OF
devoting themselves to deliberate violations
of the laws of the United States, and had they,
in lieu of illegally employing persons within
the dominions of the United States to 80 In
armed bands to Cuba, proceeded thither un-
armed themselves, to take personal part in
the struggle for independence, it is possible
the result would have been different in Cuba,
and it is certain that there would have been
a moro ardent feeling in the United States in
favor of their cause, and more respect for
their sincerity and personal courage.
The views of Mr.. Fish are such as will be
concurred in by the people of the United
States without cavil, for they are consistent
with sound craftsmanship and common sense
At the breaking out of the Cuban rebellion,
the sympathies of this country were largely
enlisted on the side of the insurrectionists,
and the President and Secretary of State indi-
Gated very plainly that they coincided with
the popular feeling and that they were dis
posed to aid the Cubans in every way that
they consistently could without improperly
compromising the Government. Had the
revolutionists shown themselves worthy of
the support of the United States, they would
certainly have had it, and the probabilities
are that long ere this their Independence
would have been recognized. They found it
much easier, however, to fight the Spaniards
from New York and Philadelphia, rather than
by shouldering their muskets and taking the
field in Cuba.
They displayed their patriotic impulses by
running away from danger with all the goods
they could gather together, and by urging
upon the people of the United States to
undertake the task of iberating Cuba, while
they snuffed the smoke of battle from afar.
Under these circumstances it is not matter
for surprise that interest in the Cuban revo-
luton should die out in this country, much
as we are desirous of seeing the Spanish do
minion on that island being brought to an
end. This is only another exemplifcation of
the saying that "Those who would be free
themselves must strike the blow"

THE UNITED STATES AND CUBA.
The official correspondence with regard to
Cuba that has just been published places the
administration before the country in the most
favorable light, and the manner in which Mr..
Fish has watched over the interests of the
United States, and of human liberty as repre-
sented by the struggle in Cuba, will meet
with the approval of all but few foul
mouthed demagogues like Mungen, of Ohio,
whose abuse, however, will be more compli-
mentary than their praise. 1t is evident that
the interest in the Cuban insurrection has
abated very decidedly in this country, and
Mr.. Fish states the case clearly and
plainly when he attributes this in

State PolitIes-Tho Canal swlndle,

State POIitles-The Canal SWlndIP.
The only practical State question
before the people in the present can
vass is the propriety of taking back
the old Wabash and Erie Canal, and
assuming the debt for which it was
once accepted by the bondholders of
the State. The bargain by which the
bondholders got possession Of the
canal was one OF their own seeking.
That it didn't turn out as we'll as they
anticipated, was mainly their own
fault In not completing the canal as
they promised. and as was expected.
But the canal stocks are not now
in the hands Of the original bond
holders. The greater portion Of them
have been bought up at six. eight, ten
and fifteen cents on the dollar by po-
litical spectators, who are now con-
summating their plans to carry the
next Legislature, and secure the pas
sage of a law by which the State will
be made to assume the payment of
these stocks, and thereby bring them
up to par in their hands. At ten cents
on the dollar, the present holders of
the canal stock are out of pocket
about 81, 100000. They will there
fore have a margin Of over fifteen mai
hoas of dollars on which to oper-
ate. They can afford to spend
five or seven million Of dollars to cor
rupt the Legislature, and then pocket
the nice sum of eight or ten millions
as profit. The State Legislature is
composed of one hundred and fifty
members. To secure the passage of
any law, ffty- one votes are required
in the House and twenty-six in the
Senate. Now, suppose that the canal
jobbers had to go into the marke and
buy up every vote necessary to pass
their desired law. They could afford
to pay one hundred thousand dollars
for every vote Of the seventy seven,
required and still pocket a profit of
eight million dollars.
In view of the magnitude Of this
swindle on the taxpayers, We repeat,
it is of vital Importance to have our
candidates for the Legislature pledged
to vote against it.
We ask again, viii Messrs. Ike en-
and Shanklin, the Democratic candi-
dates, pledge themselves to vote
against the resumption of the Wabash
and Erie Canal? IF they persist in
their refusal. the people can form on
" one conclusion, viz: that the canal
men may count on these gentlemen
in case the people of Vanderburgh
County should be 50 foolish as to
elect them.

AUGUST VERwIG VS.. I Action to fore
BLOOM, HAGAR & REITz close q mortgage.
The only controversy here was between
Hagar and Re1tz, Jr., mortgages, as to
whose mortgage took precedence.
Bloom made q mortgage to Hagar, and
then he and his vile conveyed the prop
erty to him in fee. Hagar then conveyed
back to Blooms wife, the intention not
beingto satisfy the mortgage, but to trans
fer the title to Mrs. Bloom. subsequently
Reitz, without actual knowledge of Ha-
gar's mortgage, or the intention to keep
the mortgage operative, took q mortgage
upon the same premises. All the convey
ances were recorded IN the order of their
Held that, as between Reitz and Hagar.
the conveyance from Bloom to him after
the date OF his mortgage, produced q
merger, and operated as q satisfaction, and
that although. as between Hagar and
Bloom, the mortgage is still valid thew
having SO intended; yetas the effect of the
convey ance would be to discharge the
mortgage primo Idcie, and as Reitz had a

VS. Bennett against hts
Forth ana OtuSIss administrator and
his sureties
Upon his bond as administrator. upon
the trial, 1t appeared that the admlnIstra-
tor. with the assent of the widow and
heirs and to prevent a sale of the real es-
tate, collected 81 go of rents of the farm of
which Bennett died seized, for the ALLEGED
purpose of paying the debts of the estate
but failed to pay the debts, but converted
the money. Held over the objection of the
defendants counsel, that the sureties upOn
the bond were liable for the money so
IL further appeared that the decedent
was indebted TO Lowry & Co., on note for
SS25 with Watts as surety, at the maturity
of the note the admin istratOr gave his own
note with third party as surety, in re-
newal, and took up the old note, after
wards with note which had been taken
for purchase money forreal estate. he paid
the renewal note. The defendants claimed
acredit for this amount as a payment out
of the personal assets. but the plaintiff
out Of the funds for which the defendants
were not responsible, they were not en-
titled to the credit. Held, 1. That the giving
of the administrators note and the taking
up of the old one operated as an extin-
gutShment OF the debt against the estate
2. That as the adm in iStratOr had in his
hands at that time q balance of the pro-
