Some sorchead, styling himself Henry
has been airing his literary talent in letter
to the Manhatten Standard, dated al this
city. When the facts are simply stated about
the character of our city election of delegates
for the State Convention, the Jesuitical spirit
of the writer of the letter in question, will
become apparent. There never was a
fairer or more satisfactory primary election
than that held upon the occasion referred to-
The personal Jealousy existing between as
pirants for Office here is no greater than else
where throughout the country. And We
think that the action Of the Leaven-
worth City delegates in that Convention,
entitle them to unqualified praise rather
than such mischievous insinuations as
"Henrv," probably some disappointed can
didate for Congress, or the Presidency in
duIges in. He is now pursuing method Of
party criticism well calculated to heal local
jealousies and compose personal emmities,
such as have disturbing influence in our
city politics. And in this he is very clearly
defining the quality of his temper about our
party politics.

EMANCIPArlox N CUBA.

This is the era Of progress among the
peoples Of the earth. Even dead and almos,
buried old Spain seems to have received .
shock from the all prevailing spirit Of growth
towards more perfect form of government.
and society. The laws for the emancipstiou
of the slaves in Cuba and Porto Rico. sre
ordered BY the Government authorities 70
be executed. Such is the news received
yesterday By telegraph and which the read
er ofthe TINES will read in the telegraphic
columns. All children Of slsve mother
born hereafter are to Be free. All born
since 1868 are free, upon certain conditions.
All over sixty years Of age IRE free, and all
Others Is soon - they reach that age. All
belonging to the Seate are free, and also all
who rendered service for the Government
during the Late instruction.
The. weeks now bring changes,
in the upward reaching direction,
with old nations, and new ones too, that once
were not realized in generations. Emanci-
patton, if promptly carried into effect in
Cuba, as our dispatches indicate, will be the
fact, will settle the Cuban question, and 20
far toward reconciling the opinions of the
liberal-minded people Of all nations with the
real tendencies of the revolution that is pro-
gresing and working out it, results in old
Spain. In fact, the present developments in
Europe strongly indicate that there will, one
