hostile to Spain, not only refuse 10 obey the
decree Of the Cortes, but, as late Havana letters
inform us, have resolved TO finally conGscate and
sell this property, and apply the proceeds to
their own purposes.
The trouble, we imagine, will be to find pur-
chasers for titles of so worthless a nature. They
can be valid only until either Spain or the Gu

In another column we publish letter
written about a year ago by the late Mr.. j.
MORALES LEMus representative Of the Cuban
Republic in this country, to Mr.. Nicolas AGA
RATE The letter was a reply to an inquiry made
by Mr. AzcARATE, from Msdrid-in accordance
with previous instructions from the Spanish
Colonial Minis,er-as TO whether the Cuban
patriots woull be willing to accept the autonomy
Of the island.
Mr., LgMUs so logically proves the impractical
Lnity Of any such plan as far as the Cubans are
concerned, and the visibility Of 1t a. flr
as tie interests Of Spain are involved that its
attempted revival in the shape of Mr. Azc,R,rr'-
present mission to tie CUBAN sentatiycs here
| is the more surprising.
Tie Cubans can give Mr.. AzctRATE no more
| just, more logical, on more patriotic reply to day
than duplicate of this masterpiece Of one o
their master minds.

Maryland was on Thursday assigned TO duty as
special agent Of the Treasury at Norfolk, Va. If
this is the same Col. BgLGEn who during the war
was dismissed from the army by the War De-
partment for Incorporating the funds Of the
Government, he cannot be a proper man to be
taken into the service of the Treasury. Can
Gov. boutwell, approve Of such an appointments
and is lis name affixed to any such commission :?
Or is it all the work Of the President, who keeps
a man in Office as Acting Secretary Of State after
the Legislature of Massachusetts have proclaimed
the fact of his making 5000 by a single bride?
Since the outbreak of the Cuban rcvolu-
ton the Spanish authorities in the island have
embargoed property belonging to Cubans to the
extent of upwards of three hundred millions OF
do,isrs. The victims Of this wholesale spoa-
ton have been absentees and persons in the
patriot ranks, men, women, and children of all
classes, who, being creoes by birth, have moi
actively supported the cause of Spain.

nifty of the article is no more doubtful than
the spirit of i. is unbecoming q man who
undertakes to give advice on public ques

Council did "small and ungenerous act
when they refused to release the new hotel
property from taxation for q few years as a
simple act of encouragement to a most de.
serving citizen" If the author of this
drive believes the Council has authority to
exempt from taxation $4,000 of property
belonging to citizen worth probably
$500, 900, and at the same time levy the
maximum percentage on the property Of the
poor laborer, who owns only the cottage

quest of Mr.. Harper presents only question

advice of the City Attorney, have declared,
in effect, that the prayed for exemption
would be contrary to Law; and thi, preten

abuses the members for doing their duty to

By reference to DR.. Foback's advertisement on

just introduced a ne~ article in the line Of
"Stomach Bitters." These Bitters are destined
to become very popular, from the fact that they
are genuine in every sense of tie term-that 10,
they derive their stimulus from the powerful
tonic nature of the roots and herbs of which they
are composed, and hence their effect is natural.

r.rvsus Hsadache, Liver Complaint, &C.,
Ae The Brain being the most delicate and sen
.stiye of all our organs. is necessarily more or
less affected by all our bodily ailments. Ahead-
ache 10 often the first symptom Of q serious dis
ease. If the nervous system is affected, there is
always trouble at it's source in the pericratium.
And it may be here remarked that as the nervous
fbre pervades the entirs frame, no part Of the
physical structure can be effected without the
nerves suffering alphabetically. Liver COM
plant of every tpye affect the brain. Sometimes
the effect is stupor, confusion of ideas, hypochon
driasis; sometimes persistent or periodical head
ache. In any case, the best remedy that can be
taken is PLANTATION BIr1ERs. In headache
proceeding from indigestion or biliousness, or
both, the stomaehe and anti bilious properties of
the preparation will soon relieve the torture, by
removing the cause. IF the complaint i. purely

the nervous system, and 10 not the result of SYM
