RADICAL TACTICS. 1t is said at tbis
time of our writing that the radicals
have arranged with ten speakers to con.
sumo all this Tuesday night in speaking,
with the view Of marching their dupes
to the polls in tho morning. II these
extraordinary means ore resorted to,
their cause must be in bad way. We
hope that Reformers will go to bed early,
sleep soundly, and do their duty man.
fully in the morning. We pity those
who expect to listen to those ten speech
es. Well may tho colored men exclaim.

a company of United States marines
paraded the streets of Philadelphia on
Tuesday last, the day of election, to en-
courage radical outrages and intimidate
Democratic votors. The Mayor pre-
tested against such nm interference on
the part of tho Federal Government with
State elections, but no respect was paid
to his protest. These soldiers took pos
session of one of the voting places under
tho false plea of preserving order, in
plain violation of the constitution of the
United States. Talk about the freedom
of election! What mockeryl We have
no longer constitutional government.
The hypocriticnl cry is: "Let US have
pencc"-while we have in truth nothing
but military despotism.

ONLY S13O,OOO,OOO FOR CUBA. We
clip the following from the New York
Sun:
Negotiations are in progress which, if
successful, promise to result in the i'm
mediate independence of the Island of
Cuba. A short time ago, Gen. Prim
sent Spanish gentleman to Washing
ton to make proposition involving the
sale of Cuba by Spain. The agent was
authorized to offer the island for S17O,-
900, 900, but while the negotiations were
in progress the price was reduced 49,
100000 and Cuban independence can
be purchased at $130, 100000.
The agent has received specific in
structions to pledge the government OF
Spain to remove the Spanish soldiers
from the island when the United States
shall guarantee tho payment of the pur-
chase money. The subject was discussed
at Cabinet meeting on Monday. It is
believed in Spanish circles that Gen.
PRINTS proposition will be accepted, but
the decision of the Cabinet is not known.

COAL AND SoA1Es-The coal traffic
over the Lehigh Valley Railroad, of
Pennsylvania, is enormous. A slight
idea can be formed from the fact that
40, 600 tons of coal have been weighed
each week, for three years, upon u single
track scale built by Messrs. E. & II. Fair
banks & Co., making total of $780,
600 tons. This does not include that
weighed upon the dozen or more other
scales of their make upon the said road
Alessrs. Fairbanks are now manufactur-
ing nearly 1000 scales each week, of
their various notifications, and are much
behind their orders.

proves.

war. If the people desire reduction
OF taxes, they must defeat the Radical
candidates for Congress.

AMERICAN DISTURBANCE IN HONOLULU
A correspondent writing from Honolulu
says Commander Truxton, of the sloop-
of-war Jamestown, requested Consul
Adamson to display his colors at half
mast over tho consular Office, out of re-
spcet to the late Queen Dowagcr, but
Mr.. Adamson declined to do so, on tho
ground that lie had received no official
notice of the Queens death from the
United States Minister resident. Com
mander Truxton Immediately ordered
Lieutenant Cochran, with guard of
marines. to put the flag at half mast, by
force if necessary, over the consular
Office. The order was obeyed, the Con-
sul and Vice Consul resisting. The
Honolulu press are indignant, and pro-
nounce the invasion of Hawarian terri
tory by an armed force of tho United
States high handed proceeding.
