The time was when Southern bulies could
do what they pleased with the postoihces
and mails Of the South. They could say just
what papers the people might receive through
the mails, and designate those they should not
receive. The correspondence Of private par
ties might be examined at the pleasure Of
any selfconstituted committee Of inquisition,
who chose to demand their letters for that
purpose. The government claimed that such
outbreaks Of violence were beyond the reach
Of the Post Office Department, and had to be
submitted to. The times are bravely altered,
however. What Southern bullios have failed
to learn in the past they are being taught
now Theprescnt Postmaster General doesn't
see things az Amos Kendall did some thirty
five years ago. A man disguised as a Ku
Klux recently entered the post-oflico in Fay.
ettevlle, Tenn, and compelled the postmaster
to hand him letter directed to citizen
whose sentiments and business the ex-robes
desired to examine into. They supposed there
was no limit to their own sweet will in such
matters. The community supposed they had
nothing to do but chuckle over the discomft-
ure Of some abolitionist, or Yankee carpet
bagger They had not the remotest idea that
they had any duty or privilege involved in 80
funny an affair as rihing the post-ofice in Or
der to visit their wrath on some obnoxious set
tier of that region. But Postmaster General
Oresswel has made suggestion which will
open their eyes. He has notified them that
the community which allows such outrages,
will have their post-ofice broken up aud the
mails altogether withdrawn This is the ap-
propriate remedy. Gen. Grants Adminstra-
ton means to teach obedience to the laws by
the most striking and common sense methods.
A people who will allow the sanctity Of the
mails to be violated should have their own
privileges curtailed in consequence. The
Fayetteville post-office, like most others at
the South, has always cost the Government
more than it came to, and if it should be
abolished, the Department would be somewhat
the gamer.

herent and not galvanic; we should give it
more favor and help it on to success. But it
is so wholly foreign, both to our ideas and
tastes so entirely at variance with any de-
mands of which we have heard so entirely
irreconcilable with certain old fashioned prin-
ciplcs which shine in the Word and which
have exalted both man and woman to the

we think our friends who are going to try and

more potent word the sumberng forces of

The Cubans Conquered.

The latest intelligence from Cuba, both d.
rect and ria Madrid, compels the belief that
the cause of the Cuban insurgents is fast be-
coming, if it has not already become, utterly
hopeless. 1t is even said, on what appears to
be reliable authority, that the Cuban Junta
of New York have issued circular to their
friends in Cuba to lay down their arms, and
await the course Of events, and it is reported
from the ever-fhithful ISLE that the rebels
are daily captivating in large numbers and
that their military organization is rapidly
crumbling to pieces.
Making due allowance for the fact that
most of this news comes from Spanish sources
and through Spanish channels, there is enough
in it, when viewed in the light of known facts,
to show that the Cuban cause is in very bad
way, and enough, especially, to justify the
position taken on the question of Cuban re-
cognition by the President in his late Mes.
sage.
1t is not pleasant to record these facts and
convictions, but the truth must be told.
Gratifying as it would be to see Cuba freed
from Spanish rule and fIourishing, indepen.
IDENTIFY, or as part of the United States, we
cannot avoid the unwelcome conclusion that,
for the present, the cause of Cuban freedom is
involved in what is far worse than doubt
that it has been crushed by the 10000 Span.
sh troops which Prim has officially declared
have been sent from Spain, aided by the reg
ular Spanish garrisons and the Spanish vol
unteers on the Island, and by the Spanish
navy. We trust our Government will inter.
pose with all the influence it can command, to
insure such a settlement between the Spanish
authorities and the insurgents as will protect
the latter from the exercise Of undue severity
by the former. Spain can strengthen her
power, as well as gain the respect of Christian
nations, by the exercise of clemency toward
those who in Cuba have attempted to follow
the example of those in Spain who now govern
that country--and Cuba.

The Welsh Fasting Girl.

The medical fraternity and others have
been much interested of late in the case of
the Welsh fasting girl" A young miss of
thirteen years, who, according to the state
ment of her parents, was seized about two
years ago with vomiting of blood, took to her
bed, and since that time has never touched
particle of food or drink, save water with which
her lips were moistened once a fortnight. This
Of course was incredible, but no one can be
found who will admit having ever seen her
take any nourishment during the period nam
ed. Early in December strict watch was
instituted by medical authority, either to
verify the assertions of her parents, or to de-
tect the imposture. -Four experienced nurses
were employed for the purpose, and the scru.
tiny kept up was so rigid, that the taking of
food unobserved was made absolutely impos-
slblc. As a consequence, on the 10th of De-
cember, after eight days, the girl died, her
parents refusing to the last to give her food,
evidence thus being afforded that in some way
she had contrived to eat enough up to that
time to retain life. The secret of her absti-
nence is likely to remain unexplained. The
singular course which thus ended in linger
ing death, is attributed to simuative hys-
terra" promoted by excessive devotion to
certain class of religious reading. She was
member of the Church of England

Memorial to Secretary Stanton.

The rich men of New York, many of them,
show that they are not altogether tho heart
less devotees Of mammon which many sup
pose them to be. They prove often that
they appreciate the virtues and services Of
the brave and patriotic men who have made
sacrifices for their country's good. When
the lamented Rawlins was called away they
made noble contribution for the benefit of
his family, This was better form for their
gratitude to take, than to build mounds of
stone, or to erect pillars of brass to comment
crate their deeds Provision for the be-
reayed and dependant is the true form for
such memorials to take.
When the great Generals of tho war were
receiving liberal gifts of houses and lands
from grateful and admiring friends, the mer-
its of the Great War Secretary were not for
gotten. But, with scrupulous delicacy
which lends additional lustre to his fame, he
forbade his friends to proceed with their un-
dertaking. He spent the acquisitions of a
long and arduous law practice during his term
of office, until all that he leaves his family is
their dwelling in the city of Washington. So
long as he lived to provide for his family it
was right that his scruples in regard to a
testimonial should be respected, But now
his family should be made the recipients of
the benefits he refused for himself. We hope,
therefore, that the wealthy men of the country,
will promptly complete the proposed offer.
ing to his family as the best tribute the coun-
try can pay to his memory.

REPUTATION.

When Cox, Brooks, and other members of
the House assailed Mungen for his outspoken
advocacy of reputation, the better class of
Democrats pointed to their speeches as proof
that the Democratic party was not Justly
chargeable with leaning toward that heresy.
But they reckoned without their host. Tho
Democratic merchants, represented by Cox,
Brooks, ct al are doubtless opposed to re-
pudiation, appreciating, as they do, the me-
cessity of maintaining the national credit ;
but the Democracy represented by Mungen
hold different views.
The Napoleon Northwest, said to be the
ablest county paper in Ohio, endorses Nun
gell fully, and insists that because of his ut
terance' on this question, he shall be- recog-
nizcd as the leader of the Democracy of the
country. The Northeast says;
Honor to Col Munger We have long waited
for leaders who comprehend the emergency and
are equal to it. One we have found let Others
come to the front. No matter If they be new
men, so they be true men, The millions who
toll tho millions who pay the millions who are
daily and hourly robbed by the exactions Of the
stupenduous fraud named the War Debt, call for
leaders to marshal the mighty force and direct
the tremendous energies which are eager for the
assault. No great cause fails at last for want of
leaders. The hour strikes, and the men appear.
Democrats who are too cowardly 10 make avail of
The opportunity, or too stupid TO recognize it, or
40 unutterably base as 10 sell themselves 10 the
adversary for price, can well be dispensed with.
Let them consort with Kerr (eur?j of Indiana
and babbling Brooks, of New York. and the
other sneaks and Judases, who, in the name of
Democracy, have just knet down on the floor of
Congress to lick the dust from the bondholders'
shoes. Good radiance of bad rubbish. We shall
have room for better men.
Let the people Of Ohio and all that Is brave
ma Democratic in the press Of Ohio, proclaim
W lillian Mungen n leader of the Democracy. and
follow him in grand, combined, resolute army
sworn not to disband until victory, and with VIC
tory, EMANCIPATION from the tyranny of the Mon.
BY Power shall be achieved
The North,oest's imprisoned appeal will be-
responded to by the entire Democratic press
Of the Northwest. Munger knew very well
what he was about when he made his speech.
ho drew upon his head the anathemas of the
New York politicians, but he cares little for
that. His constituents endorse him, and that
is enough for him. The Democracy Of the

ional Debt are as widely separated as the
'oles There is pretty quarrel brewing.

u The trustees of tho Peabody Educa-
ton Fund have thoroughly systematized their
work, aud in the hands of their judicious and
energetic agent, DR.. Sears, it is already well
under way, and beginning to yield results.
The aim has been to make use of and inn
prove existing educational systems 50 far as
possible, to further the interests Of State Nor
NAL schools, and to promote especially the
training Of female teachers. Thus guided,
DR.. Sears has visited Virginia, North and
South Carolina, Florida Alabama, Mississip-
pi West Virginia, Tennessee and Arkansas !;
the important communities in these several
States have been stirred up to do what they
could to establish or improve the system of
common school education, and in every in.
stance where such steps have been takon, aid
has been furnished from the Fund, in amounts
varying from one or two hundred dollars to a
few thousands. The methods adopted by the
trustees appear to have met the hearty APP
proval of the mass Of intelligent Southern
men, and the rich fruitage of Mr.. Peabodys
munifcent bequost begins even now to APP
pear.
