Akcrman on Georgia.

Mr.. Attorney General AKERMAS has dc
liyered Il written opinion upon the political
situation in Georgia, which we venture to
.ay is unrvalled in the productions of the
Department over which he presides
The point at which AKERMAN would seem
to be driving is to determine whether there
ought to be an election in Georgia this fall.
In the first two columns of lis wordy ha-
ranGue he argues stoutly that the Constitu-
ton and laws of the United States, and the
Constitution and laws of Georgia, explicitly
require chat such an election should be held.
In the next half column he goes on to prove
that these documents leave the matter very
much in doubt, And in the final half column

refuse TO hold an election, but should even

Madrid telegram Of the 9Th inst pub.
lishcd in the World yesterday, confirms
what we have already stated, that Spain will
send to Cuba in the fall reinforcement Of
come II 600 soldiers.
The island is to be pacfcd of course il
is Tho revolution ia to be crushed that is
quito another matter
Spain has had at enc time since the out
break Of the revolution, over 100000 armed
men Mt her command in the island. OF these
fully two-thirls were well drilled equipped
md armed regulars Gen. PRrM admitted in
November last that 10000 men had been sent
there from Spain, and to these several large
achievements have siuco been added
These regulars were commanded by officers
who had seen service in revolutionary and
other wars Neither officers nor men there
fore had anything to learn in the art of war
fare
Aud yet few handfuls of Cubans for the
most part miscrably armed and totally I'M
disciplined, commanded by men who, with
very few exceptions, never smellcd powder
until now, have managed to defy and defeat
these serried hosts of veterans, and hold
their own against them.
The World strangely enough, inculpates
Cen GRANT alono for the bloodshed and de.
vastation in Cuba. That the President has
erred. and erred grossly and culpably, in not
respecting the just and lawful wishes of the
country in regard TO Cuba, we fully admit.
But the people of the United States, repro
Seated IN Congress, are at least equally re-
sponsible for having been frightened by the
bugaboo of the threatened war with Spain,
aud by the threatened disruption Of polti-
cal party. into discarding BANKss resolutions,
which would have given life and liberty TO

Answers and Questions for MIR. Greeley
