CUBA.
by way OF SPaia.

The Times Madrid correspondent writes
that the news brought from Cuba by the
last mail is of very serious importance.
The plantations in the districts of Sagus
Lagranade had risen in rebellion, and on
the 30th of November the military were
shooting all who could be caught. No
body here believes in the hopeful state
ments of the semi-oficial journals, since
facts continually belle their assertions.
The Spanish treasury being perfectly ex-
hausted, the Government can send no
money to Cuba, and Gen. Cabellero De
Rodas has TO borrow six millions of pias-
tres from the Havana merchants to provide
for the war expenses. The news that the
Committee ON Foreign Affairs of the
House of Representatives would treat the
Cuban question after Christmas, caused
much excitement in this city.

Mr. Brown, of Davidson, withdrew the
name of William Basket, and then
On the motion of Mr. Garner, Mr..
Davis. of Marshall county, was declard to
be elected Messenger by reclamation of
the Convention.
Mr.. Jones, of Lincoln, submitted a
resolution, That the President of this Con-
vention be authorized to appoint two
Porters to serve this body. He said: l
believe that is the number of Porters en-
ployed by the House of Representatives,
a body the same size of this, and they are
appointed by the Speaker of the House.
Mr.. Baxter m owed to strike out ''twO, "
and insert ''one" in lieu.
Mr.. Garner. / understand that the
House of Representatives need and re-
quire two Porters.
Mr.. Jones, of Lincoln, by consent, then
modified the resolution so as to appoint
one Porter and so it was adopted. .
CHAPLAIN SERVICE.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick submitted the follow
ing:
Resolved, That the resident clergymen
of this city be, and they are hereby Sc
lected to act as chaplain of this Conven-
ton, dividing the time amongst themselves,
as they may deem most expedient.
1t was adopted.
Mr. Campbell submitted the following
Resolved, That committee of five
delegates be appointed to report permanent
rules OF this Convention.
1t was adopted.
CLAY ROBERTS.
Mr.. Brown, of Davidson, submitted the
following;
Resolved, That Clay Roberts who az
ranged the present Hall, be appointed to
remain in charge of the same, with in
structions to have the Hall kept in order,
and furnished with the necessary fuel,
stationery and other supplies, and that he
shall receive the same compensation as
the Secretary of this Convention.
Mr.. Baxter, moved to lay the resolution
on the table, but withdrew the motion
for
Mr.. Brown, of Davidson. The Tesolu-
ton is not mine, but l concur in it. 1t
seems to me necessary to have some
agent to whom this body may look for
the purposes of procuring stationery, etc,
and who shall have charge of the hallan
its furniture. Is is not strictly the bust
ness of the Porter nor the Doorkeeper. The
Doorkeeper's business is in another direc-
zion, and the Porter is wanted in the sessions
of the House The object of this resolu-
ton is to have q man of our own appoint
ment to purchase stationery. Who now
is authorized to buy our stationery,
unless we appoint somebody? All our
officers have their business The Score
tary of State will not come here to see
whether we are supplied or not, and we
ought to have functionary of our own
for this purpose. This being the fact
that prompted the resolution, ! give the
explanation for what it is worth.
Mr.. Jones, of Lincoln-I think the
furnishing of Stationery would properly
devolve upon the Secretary. The Door
keeper, l think, has properly given to
him the superintendent of the hall, and
the porter is generally under his direction
to do the work. We have two Doorkeep-
ers, the President is authorized to appoint
a porter, and we have two Secretaries. L
renew the motion to lay the resolution ON
the table. .

Something About Wheels.

A RELIGIOUS journal relates the
IN following incident about sermon
which might probably be repeated with
profit:
A brother in the ministry took oc-
cason to preach on the passage in Luke
10 He that is unjust in the least is un-
Just also in much The theme was,
that men who take advantage of others
in small things, have the very clement Of
character to wrong the community and
individuals in great things, where the
prospect Of escaping detection or censurc
is as little to be dreaded. The preacher
exposed the various ways by which people
wrong others such as borrowing; by
mistakes in making change; by errors in
accounts; by escaping taxes and custom
house duties; by managing to escape
postage; by finding articles and never
seeking owners and by injuring articles
borrowed, aud never making the fact
known to the owner when returned.
