Has the City of Boston gone to that
watery bourne whence no ship returns to
gladden. ports BY "the CLEAN OF it's masts' ?
1t possibly is so. Yet it must be noticed
how incredulous the public has been tina,
this powerful vessel, hitherto so skillfully
sailed aud so admirably equipped, has gone
TO the bottom. 1t is high compliment to
the line to which it belonged that people
have so long hoped against hope. There
have been within the past few years Lost
steamers whose failure to come to port on
time has been announced, and then nothing
more has been said or thought of them, and
here in May people ssill grasp at the straw
that the steamer reported off the coast of
Greenland in the missing Boston. Tha, i.
Is so there seems some reason TO believe
Competent nautical authorities here had e1
pressed the opinion that probably the Bos.
ton drifted in an ice-fioe to the southeastern
coasts of Greenland The rumor from
Queenstown comes now as strange and
strong confirmation of this supposition. |
There seems to be no reason for doubling |
the probable safety of the Boston if this |
Cork story have any foundation and if the |
vessel herself is safe her passengers are also |
Part Of her cargo consisted of provisions, |
enough to last many months without any
necessity of short rstions, and her buakers
of coal would prevent suffering from cold
weather

SENATOR MoxTos's project for a grand
caucus of radical congressman to dragon
the radical party for the fall campaign
promises to result in what southwestern
frontier men would call lively scrim mage.
The impudence of the proceeding would be
amazing we're it not generally understood
that the right of radical congressman to
reconstruct the states includes their right
to reconstruct the party in the States.
Reconstruction, from first tn last, has been
a scheme to keep the radical party in power,
and for no other purpose whatever. The
indications are numerous that, in spite of
reconstruction. the people are getting ready
to turn radicalism out of power. Morton &
Co. clearly perceive that it is time to apply
the congressional machine in q new direc-

VIRGINIA.

Az ifin partial compensation for the ter
ribls calamity that has recently fallen upon
this venerable commonwealth, il is officially
announced that General Candy has resigned
mas authority into the hands of Governor
walker, and that the last federal soldier
has been withdrawn from the soil of the old
dominion. For the first time. then, since
the Confederate capital was located at
Richmond, il may be said that Virginia is
free, and mistress Of her own destiny. Nor
are we willing to believe that the extreme
Radical element in Congress is sufficiently
strong to require any more of the pains and
penalties Of recoustruction in her case but
on the contrary we feel assured that the
prevailing sentiment Of the country favors
just and liberal policy toward q State which,
whatever may have been its sins, has Ger
taiuiy stoned for them by gr;evous suffering
Nor can it be denied that Virgins is ent,
tied to this magnanimity. She went out of
the Union reluctantly, and took that fatal
step more through the Vaccinations of South

But once out, she fought galantly to the end
and the skill of her Generals and the va Tor
OF her soldiers sustained the tottering for |
tunes of the Confederaoy long after all other

Appomattox she has behaved with discre-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The Cuban cause is In
several aspects regarded as hopeful among its sup
porters here. In New York city there is lOt only
great satisfaction felt at the fact of the ste amer
Hornet having got away without any technical
the most important proofs given within the past
ten days OF the desire OF Spain to close up the
contest, short OF acknowledging Cuban fndepen-
dence A confidential agent OF King Amadeus has
been in New York and here for some two or three
weeks past. Overtures we're made to prominent
public man known to be friendly to the Cubans for
the purpose OF obtaining his influence in ascertain
ing what terms Of peace Il any could be made be-
as the least he would consent to bear to the Cubans
the following points,
date.
Second. A complete restoration to civil and pro-
perty rights Including revisal OF all conscatons
third. A guarantee of religious freedom, the
liberty of the press, OF meeting and speech.
FL urth. Equal representation for Cuba in the
CoTtes that accorded to other provinces OF SPAIN
Fifth. A colonial autonomy similar to that exist
ing between Great Britain AMI the British North
Sixth. The removal by the Home Government OF
all offensive officials.
Seventh. That Spain aud Cuba should consent
that the United States should that these guaran
tees were enforced and complied with by both par
ties
The last condition appears to have been the
stumbling block on the Spanish side, but even that
was consented to. The Cubans however felt COM
PEELED to refuse approval upon the distinct ground
that nothing short OF independence could be sought
by them. The atrocities perpetrated against them
rendered 1t impossible that the two parties could
live peaccably together. Probably the expected SER
vices Of the Hornet, which, it is understood, Will
ceve her armament on the high seas (she cleared
fer Nassau with coal and sixty picked men q
crew, has something to do with their decision. But
1t is determined by them that the war must ter ermi-
nate only In their success, or complete or utter
overthrow. From the urgency manifested by the
Spanish agent, there is no room to doubt that it Is
the earnest dekre of the new King TO secure peace
as carly as possible These negotiations may be re-
ing. II may be added that the President has known
OF the negotiations and that the conditions met his
