That Cowardly Message.

Gen. GRANTS recent message exhausts
the subtle arguments Of tho Spanish inter
prefers Of international law in order TO tn row
difficulties in the way Of Cuban iadepen-
dence. The gallant islanders, who have now
been struggling for nearly two years, are
told by the President of the United States
that " fighting, though fierce and protracted,
does not alone constitute war" And then the
late commander of the Union army ooolly
catechizes the Cuban champions, and admon-
ishcs them that "theIe must be military forces
acting in accordance with the rules and Gus
toms of war, flags Of truce, cartels Of ex-
change Of prisoners" and 80 on.
No nation in the world could have con.
auered its freedom if it had abstained from
fierce and protracted fighting, and waited
until II could carry on war according to the
scientific principles propounded by that veter-
an strategist, HAMILTON FISH. The English
used the same language against our revoiu
tionary fathers which degenerate American
President now employs toward the revolted
colonists of Spain. We were nevertheless
successful in achieving our liberties, and 81
will the Cubans be. The greater the din
culties with which they have to contend, thu
more glorious will be their triumph.

whom It may safely be affirmed that tits Inn
possible that he can ever have commi''ed
the offence charged against him.
The means taken 10 deprive Mr. CnAHooN
of the Office Of Mayor Of Richmond, to which
he wns elected in May last, was Of piece
with this indi ament for forgery. There
was no doubt that he had received majority
Of the votes Of the people Tho law Of Vir-
einia requires that the ballots In each pre-
cinct shall be counted and the result entered
upon return, which is sent up to the Com
missioners of Election, as they are called, by
whom the returns are collated aud the gen.
eral result declared. With this return from
each precinct Ia also sent the ballotbox con-
tanning the ballots, Of which the return Is
the summary, and these ballots are to be
preserved for the space Of year by the
proper officers The returns from the various
precincts Of Richmond were duly made ont
and sent up; so were tho ballotboxcs; but
on the way the bearers Of the box from
precinct which had given CuAuooN large
majority were assailed by party Of roughs,
and the box and contents were destroyed.
The return officially stating the number Of
votes cast In this precinct was, however,
duly received without any accident and as
this certificate Is the only evidence which Is
examined by tho Commissioners, the ballot
box and its contents being kept rather as
a matter Of formality than otherwise, the
absence Of the latter through the
outrage we have mentioned ought
not TO have been allowed TO affect
the result Of the election. The Com
missioners, however, being opposed to Mr.
CnAnooN, determined TO reject the vote of
the precinct whose ballotbox had been de-
stroyed and this rejection sufilcod to produce
his defeat and the election Of his opponent.
OF course this little scheme had all been
arranged beforehand, ard the attack upon
the bearers Of the ballot-box was not made
until 1t had been settled that after the bal
lots were destroyed, the certificate from that
precinct should be rejected.
This act Of violence and fraud did not
pass without producing q great excitement
among the voters Of the city; and II it had
not been for the urgent entrcaties Of Mr.
CuAuooNs friends a riot would very prob
ably have occurred. They, however, wise
ly preferred TO take the case to the courts
and there, we doubt not, the truth will be
established in due time. Meanwhile we I'D
vsc those citizens of Richmond who really

made an uncommoniy good Governor Of Pcunsyl
,ania. On the other hand, number of Demo.
cratic politicians intend to bring out WILLIAM $.
GnoEsDsck Of Cincinnati, as a man upon whom
the supporters Of CnAsp and PENpLEroS in Ohio
can unite. Mr. GRoEsBEcK is gentleman of
fine culture, large fortune, and arstocratc man
ners, with q son-in-law who is member Of the
British Parliament lie would make respectable
Presidents but he has no hold upon The people,
and IL is not likely that he will ever receive the
nomination Of National Convention. Senator
THURMAN of Ohio is also spoken Of This gen
teman has made a very good position Tor him
self since he has been In the Senate. He is
man Of intelligence, sense, and great industry.
Ills speeches in the Senate are clear, able, and
digni6cd, without much polish, and without signs
Of extensive culture or large familiarity with
literature Of any kind. The objection 10 him as
q candidate is that he was strong Copperbead
during the war, and that rebel prisoners in Ohio
were literally entertained by his household.
It Is fact not generally known also, that the de-
feat Of the gentlemen who were laboring for
Judge CHAsEs nomination In the Democratic
Convention Of 1868 was very largely due to him.
The Judge was really not opposed to CHASE, but
he happened to fall into one Of those fits OF intel
lcctual exhilaraiion which men Of strong nature
are not always proof against; and in this condi-
ton he made violent speech to the Ohio delega-
ton which Influenced them very greatly, and pre-
vented their striking for CHAss al a moment
when such blow would have been decisive. Not
withstanding the remarkable excitement Of this
speech, az the delegation believed Judge Thur
MAN to be perfectly sober, it had an effect upon
their minds which they might not otherwise have
accorded TO II; and il will now be an obstacle In
the way Of the Judge himself as q Presidential
candidate.
In regard TO Senator HESDRicKs Of Indiana,
who is in many respects very strong candidate,
and whose friends have already done great deal
10 gain votes for him In the Convention OF
1872, IL seems that the opposition Of PENpLEroS
and his supporters will be so strong and so un-
compromising as TO defeat all chance Of his being
nominated. In regard to Judge CHASE, II is
stated that his health has Of late been so much
enfeebled that Il Is not believed that his name
will be brought forward in the Convention.
Finally, we are told that the Western Demo
crats are making every effort to defeat the nomt
nation Of HoFFNAs Of New York. II seems that
the plan Of the Tammany Ring Is 10 run
HorYxAS for President with the Hon. W. Nj.
TWEED for Governor, while the Hon. PETEn
BRAINS SwrEsY is to be kept in reserve as can
didate for the United States Senate, in the place
of Mr.. CoSkLIsa, whose term will expire In 1873.
This plan the Western Democrats are said 10
view with entire hostility. They unanimously
agree with the pregnant saying Of MuRAr Hal
STEAD Of Cincinnati, that even GRASr could
beat novrM,S; and they are accordingly re-
solved that HoEFNAs shall not be the candidate
of the party.
