Thanks to Germans in America.

The North German Consul General at
New York has received the following vote
of thanks from Germans to the Germans of
this country, for their sympathy with their
native land, and the collections they are
making for the German victims of the Eu-
ropean war:
Your warm sympathy and active help in
the frivolous war with which an insolent
enemy is invading us. has truly benefited
us in our hearts. When YOU left your native
homes, you transferred the penants of your
patriotism to your new country. There, in
the land of freedom, great by Washington's
deed, hal!owea by the martyr blood of the
noble, inhexible Lincoln. you have not lost
the feeling of communion with us, your
German brethren On this side of the ocean.
In gaining flames of enthusiasm for your
native land, you rise against the CRsarism
which stretched forth its hand for Mexico,
which protected the hydra of rebellion in
your country, as much as it could do so, and
which now intends to enrich the peaceful
banks of the beautiful river Rhine with
blood. Thanks to you for this love, this en-
thusiasm, dear cOmpatriOts. Across the
ocean We reach to you, in German faithful
ness, our brotherly hand. Three cheers for
the common mother! Three cheers for
Germania. Three cheers for the daughter,
bright with freedom! Three cheers for
America Thus resolved at Cologne, on the
Rhine, the twenty-sixth July, 1870, with
unanimous enthusiastic applause, by mass
meetin held at the GertrudenhOf
BESSEL, President.

HACCK. Secretary.
Cuban Bonds,

The New York Sun comments thus on the
letter referred to:
The Tribune yesterday published letter
addressed by Messrs. Dent and Paige, of
ashington, to a Mr.. Domingo Ruiz, in
which these gentlemen express an opinion
that had certain eventualities occurred.
which did not occur, and had certain people
been other people, which they were not, an
uncertain amount of Cuban bonds might
have been negotiated by them-Dent and
Paige-in this city, some time last summer.
They say, for instance, that had Mr.. Ruiz
had authority, which he never had, to
negotiate these bonds, and had belligerent
rights been accorded to Cuba, there would
have been no difficulty i'll the sale of the
bonds at twenty-five cents on the dollar.
We have called upon Messrs. Soutter &
Co. and Messrs. Henry ClewS & Co., who
are the bankers through whom Messrs. Dent
and Paige assert that the bonds could have
been sold. Mr. Soutter is in Europe but
his partners are not cognizant of any such
arrangement having been entered into by
him. From Mr. Henry Clews we learn that
Mr.. Dent called upon him some time last
summer, and made some proposition to him
for the negotiation of lot of Cuban bonds.
We are authorized by Mr.. Clews to state
thai he unhesitatingly declined to have any
thing to do with it. So much for Messrs.
Dent and Paige.
The Tribune, however, ON its editorial
page, .deduces from this letter that the
chief obstacle to the negotiation of the
bonds was the refusal of the Cuban
Junta with whom, by the way, Mr..
Ruiz twas never in any way con-
nected-"to pay brokerage to Messrs.
Soutter & Co. and Henry Clews Il
CO. This is evidently a mistake
on the part of the Tribune. The truth
probably is-and the Tribune hints at it in
another place, where the editor says, Mr..
Dent is "a brother-in-law of the President )"
that because Mr.. Dent was brother-in-
law of the President, and would be apt to
know whether the autocrat of Washington
intended to throttle Cuba or to let her live,
he and his partner had right to trade in
this back-dOor information, and so wished
to secure the call of $50,O00,000 of Cuban
bonds at twenty-five cents on the dollar
This brother-in-law of the President is evil
IDENTIFY very much like Corbin, another
brother-in law

Henri Rochefort whose name was so con-
stantly before the Paris public few months
ago, seems now to have become almost for
gotten by all but the judicial authorities of
the Empire. NJ. Rochefort's sentence of six
months Imprisonment expired on the eighth
ultimo, but he was officially informed that
he would have to undergo further deten-
ton of four months, to which he was con
demned for another offense under the Press
laws. The MarseiltaiSe being extinct, it
different title, would appear to advocate the
extreme Republican principles of which
that journal was the representative; but
what effect this announcement of the Judi
cial authorities may have upon the design,
is not yet known.

It is exceedingly well put by the New York
Tribune, in answer to Democratic howl
that the frontier was left unprotected be-
cause a body of Piegan warriors lately
burned up in frontier town, and only
failed to scalp the population because they
were too drunk to know the difference be-
tween tomahawk and gin bottle, that, as
the white men make and sell the whisky,
ought they to complain about the disorder
it produces on the frontier9 Perhaps if We
sold less benzine we would enjoy more benz
IONS; and if we dispensed with few dis
tilleries we might preserve more stiffness,
not only in the savage country, but in the
higher regions of civilization.

usually termed Texas, has often figured in

A SERIOUS CHARGE.-Yesterday Sergeant
Kelly, first precinct, arrested James Gogan,
charged with having, on the sixteenth in
slant, so severely beaten his wife that she
died the following day. The affair occurred
'on the Fairfax plantation, parish of St.
Mary, where the accused was employed as
an engineer. He. is forty-three years old, a
native of Ireland, and rather above the usual
heighth of men. He was found in Strong's
house, St. Charles street, and when arrested,
looked as if intoxicated or crazy. The
charge was made by Miss Catherine NOLAN,
sister of deceased, who states that the two
had lived together very unpleasantly for a
long time. Gogan will be sent to the place
where the crime was committed
