THE SPANISH GUNBoATs-A New York correspon
dent under date of the 20th in speaking of the de-
parture of the gunboats, says that daring plan to
destroy them frustrated by the clearness of the
night the moon shining brilliantly at the time of its
departure rendering conspicuous the hostile Cuban
expedition, consisting of four tugboats, each manned
with so American volunteers which lying in wait
for them. 1t was the intention to have first blown the
Pizarro out of the water by the of torpedoes and
then to have destroyed the gunboas with Greek fire.
The original design to destroy the feet before it left
the river abandoned on account of the great dan
ger to which it exposed the shipping. The ram At
anta and the Cuban steamer Anna, are both reported
in pursuit. The expedition in the lower bay was un.
der command of Col. Ryan. Five Cuban spies are on
board of the gunboats.

Nor IN FAVOR OF MILITARY TO ENFORCE THE Rev
ENUE LAws.-The plan of using the military to en-
fosce the revenue laws having before Gen. Sher
man, he very emphatically disapproved of it. He
thinks the Government has better for the troops
and besides, be believes that it has tendency to de-
moraize the army and instances the effect which such
surveillance Lad on the troops Of the British army
Again. the collection of revenue belongs to the civil
department of the government, and it is only when an
enforcement of the law is impossible that the services
OF the army should becaled into requisition Under
hese circumstances, says Washington correspondent,
Commissioner Delano has determined to arm and mount
all the assistant assessors employed in the districts
above mentioned and empower them to collect the
revenue and suppress frauds of whatever character.
The only difficulty in the adoption of this plan is that
it has been conceded by the First Controller that the
pay ofanssstant he instant he leaves
the district for which he appointed and in max
ing raids it might be necessary to the boundary
lines However, the experiment will be tried without
delay and is believed few weeks will rid these dis
trics of the illicit Stills and bring to justice those who
have been defraudng the revenue, and still defy the
laws

The Hon. John W. Stevenson, Governor of Kentucky,

ton. He might have been elected Senator when Nc
Creery was but felt under obligations to in the
Office to which he had been elected by the people o
the State. Mr.. Stevenson, in private life, is citizen
of Covington, and genial and popular man, "subjec

" subject to the limitations of the Federal Constu

SMALL NoTEs-We copy follows from the New
Orleans Times of the 25th:
There was terrible panic yesterday among check
holders planters and Others WHO have large payments
to make in small sums account of the great scarcity
of small bank notes. The banks were reduced to $500
and $1,000 notes, and, to accommodate their custom
ers offered one and one-anda-hal per cent for small
notes. They could not be got for love or money.
The planters especially, will be greatly annoyed by
this of change to pay their hands The negroes
will find it difficult understand the cause of this
of things, and much discomfort and murmurng will
arise among them. The truth is that the supply of
small no es has been exhausted by the great demand
to pay off the hands in the country and until they
turn the inconvenience viii be sensibIy felt by all

AsHLEY-WHY He WAS REMoyED.-Under date Of
the 10th the Washington correspondent of the St.
Louis Democrat throws some light on the of the
removal of Governor Ashley, of Montana In the first
place. the President not fully satisfied of his fit
ness but allowed himself to be ovenuled by the almost
unanimous recommendations of the Republicans in
Congress, which Ashley brought. Next after the NOM
inaton, his attention was called to the DyerCase let
ters upon which he believed the Senate would regret
the nomination. After confirmation, Ashley made a
speech at the West in which he expressed the opinion
that the Republicans should not desert the Admnisra
tion because of the many inudicious appointments it
must be conceded it had made which, the President
thought, came with very bad grace from Ashley. And
lastly, comes the report of the speech in Montana
where he declared in effect that he prepared and
quite willing to represent the views of majority in
the Territory upon the negro questions. Such bid
for the favor of the Democracy the President thought
very unpromising sign, and good grounds for his re-

FREMONT AND HIS RAILROAD.-A Washington letter
writer under date of the 10th ult says that Fremons
party not making much progress in that city in their
lobby schemes in behalf of the Memphis and Ell Paso
Railroad. He adds "Their past history is against
them. They have notoriously failed to keep former
pledges, and there is no reason to believe they will
keep those made now. 1t is not believed they have
either the the ability to carry out the under
taking successfully. There are however, others who
and will complete the road and give the South
great highway to the Pacific 1t is said they will come
forward in good time. They will first apply to the
Texas Legislature for charter that granted to Fre
mont and company having expired, and there being no
probability of its renewal Those in the interest of
the Fremont party have taken great pains to spread
abroad the impression that there is no lobby scheme,
and that only simple right of way is demanded from
Congress. Why, hen does the calendar for the pres
ent session contain among other jobs, Senate joint
resolution No. g. proposed by Senator Norton" which
provides for granting the right of way to the Memphis
Ell Paso and Pacific Railroad, giving the company 2O,-
900 acres Of the public lands? This is however,
mere opening wedge. If the right of way and these
10000 acres of the public domain are granted there
will be fresh demands-and no railway during the
present century"
