Cuban Ls.aer. opposlns Annexation.

II appears that some Of the military chiefs Of
Cuba are 80 disgusted with the United States
government that they are forming clubs Of
independence hostile to all projects Of annexa-
ton to this republic. Intercepted letters by the
Spanish authorities reveal this fact, 1t is said.
II would not be surprising should this be so,
for though the press and people of the United
States generally sympathize with tho Cubans
in their struggle for liberty, the authorities at
Washington have proved more friendly to
Spain than to Cuba. We do not think such q
movement would so far, or that those who
have the control of Cuban affairs would sacri-
fee the interests of their country from feel
ing of disappointment or retaliation. Still Il
will be well to consider how far it is prude mt
or polite to make enemies Of people who
must some day be annexed to the United
States. II is unworthy great nation like
this to pursue the dog-n-the- policy
towards . neghboring people lighting for free
dom. We will not let any other Power inter
fere; we would not permit Cuba to fall into
the hands of any other nation, and yet we do
nothing ourselves. We stand with our arms
folded in indifference while fearfully bloody
war is going on along our border. Badly as
the Cubans may have been treated, we advise
them, however, not to assume an attitude Of
hostility to the United States. They can gain
nothing by it and may lose much. They must
remember that great governments move slowly
and cautiously, and If ours has not done what
was expected, through the accident Of certain
men being in power. there will BE- change by
and by. The hearts of the American people
are with the Cubans, and the bes. thing to be
done is to fight on for independence, and thus
command the recognition of this country aud
the world.

The DEVIL TO PAY In THE Huh. The
Boston Times positively denies the story of
the Post, that disobedient young lady in that
city recently went to a ball with the devil
supposing him to be her lover--and after the
discovery of her terrible mistake committed
suicide. A great many Of the ball-going
class in the Hub have been going ''that way"
for a loug time, and it is not at all a matter Of
surprise that one should be escorted by his
Satanic Majesty to one of those ''dazzling
halls" which first tempt, then fascinate, then
corrupt aud finally DESTROY body and soul.

TUE GARDENERS charged with the murder o.
Captain Alexander were finally discharged
yesterday, the Coroner's jury rendering YER
dict that the deceased came to his death from
natural causes. The innocence Of the
accused persons has been SO clear for some
time that the jury could not very well do other
wise. But in the meantime the Gardners,
man and wife, both old people, have been
confined in Jail, and have most likely suffered
greatly in body and property, and perhaps
reputation, by an unfounded charge. What
reparation are they to have!

SENATOR SUMNER yesterday introduced a
bill in the Senate providing for the gradual
substitution of coin for the present reserves
of the national banks and for the resump-
tion of specie payments at some time not
later than the lst Of January, 1871. 1t is
merely one Of Mr.. Summers impractical
schemes. II s better to leave the specie pay
ment question alone for the people to settle
naturally. At the present rate it is probable
they will resume specie payments before Mr..
Sumner can straighten out his crooked financial
kinks.

PROJECTION OR REyENUE.-A test vote was
taken in the House yesterday on democratic
resolution providing for revenue tariff as
opposed to protection. The House refused to
lay it on the table by q vote of 3S to us, and
then referred it to the Committee of Ways and
Means, which favors protection. So that on
one vote the House records itself in favor Of
low tariff and on the other in favor of high
one. We may presume, therefore, that the
sense Of the House on the tariff inclines more
toward buncombe than business.

AN INDIAN AoHIEyEMENT.--In letter from
Texas given in yesterdays HERALD was told
the story of what the Indians did at the home
of Thomas Fitzpatrick. He was poor
farmer, living in peace, apparently, with all the
world, when raiding party of Kiowas came
that way. They killed Fitzpatrick and his
neighbor Parkhill; killed Fitzpatrick's wife,
but scalped her while yet alive, dashed out
his baby's brains by the roadside, and carried
his two little girls into captivity. Here is a
story for the contemplation Of those tender
hearted people whose sympathies for the
Indian lead them to denounce the recent
slaughter of part Of refractory tribe. People
who are comparatively safe in Eastern cities
may indulge philanthropic tenderness toward
the Indian, with any other sentimental nom
sense, but it is necessary to. be more practical
on the Plains.

A SPECIAL TELEGRAM FROM CUBA informs
us that Mr.. Phillips, late Acting Consulate
for the United States at Santiago de Cuba,
was visited few days ago by committee
from the Spanish Club in that city and
required to make explanations regarding a
despatch which recently appeared in the
American papers purporting to be an official
telegram from that quarter. Mr.. Phillips
denied the authenticity Of the despatch in
question; but this, it would seem, was not
enough, and the ex-Consul had to sign a COM
munication repudiating the statements con-
tanned in the obnoxious despatch. From the
hostile demeanor Of his visitors Mr.. Phillips
subsequently thought it prudent to leave a
city where even representative of the United
States is as subject to indignity as suspected
Cuban. That he anticipated injury is evident
from the fact that he was accompanied to the
wharf by the English Consul and govern
ment official. Secretary Fish's policy is yield
ing fine harvest.

Our Special Enropean Cerrespondence-
Count bismarck ON German Union.

Our SpcctuI EurOpOa0 COrf0sDO1~onVo-
Count bismarck ON German Union.
The special HERALD correspondence from
Europe which appears in our columns to-day
supplies an animated and quite impor-
tant report Of the current of events
in the Old World to the 4th of
March. Our writer's date in Berlin,
in Rome, in Paris and Madrid. Their COM
munications are fresh, salient in point and
with variety of original matter from each
city. Count Bismarck was, as will be seen,
''hmself again" and that emphatically, in the
Prussian Parliament. He spoke on the
subject OF German national union and
consolidation, and spoke evidently with
heart still warm with the glory Of
Sadowa and tongue tipped with the
fire OF that triumphant field. The Premier
knows 'no north no south" but Germany
one and free and united; Germany for
the Germans, for q healthy democ-
racy, his fellow men and mankind. The
famous Minister became slightly excited in
temper at one point Of the discussion, but he
is certainly not the less good and sound
hearted German for that. From Rome we
have an amalgamated exhibit of infallibility,
fallibility, Council secrecy, Council stories
and tattles, the rights Of the Church,
art, practical religion and popular satire in
the Holy City. This exhibit presents the
existence Of such state of chameleon-like
change and bewilderment in the Holy City as

that the industrious people Of the place--il
any such now remain there--should be glad
at the appearance OF modern Curtius-
no matter where he procured his armOr,
in Paris, Berlin, Vienna or London-who
would jump into or over the wonderful
chasm, and seek to close il in the interest of
the faithful laity all over the world. M. Olli-
vier was still engaged In his endeavor to aid
the constitutional crowning of the Bonaparte
''edifice" in France. The task appears diff
cult, but Paris, as will be seen from our special
letter, can afford to wait for con-
siderable time under the consolation of i'm
perial balls and other magnificent .tStes Prim,
with many other leading Spaniards, was in
radical political caucus in Madrid. Our spe-
cial letters go to show that the mind of Europe
was seething, fretting, intriguing and agi-
tating towards some grand and sudden change
in the existing political condition of the aged
countries, but that the new moving and i'm
peing force was 80 widespread that it had
not as yet been concentrated towards any par
ticular point Of vent. 1t will soon be, how

Africa.
Lord Napier of Magdala was examined
the other day before committee of the
British House of Commons on the subject
of the cost of the English war in
Abyssinia. The distinguished soldier gave
his testimony explicitly and off-hand. He
stated the difficulties and dangers of the cam
paign with great modesty, and proved that it
must have been expensive in order to be
victorious. Lord Napier said :-'T had not
one man too many at Magdala. l should
have been very sorry to have undertaken to
take Magdala with a less number Of troops.
If q few old women had got behind the
natural bastion and thrown down stones on
our troops they would have caused us serious
loss"
Lord Napicrs testimony thus confirms in
every particular the HERALD special kilograms
from Abyssinia, by way of Egypt and through
the Atlantic cable, as also our special letters
from Theodorus' country, in which we reported
the progress Of the Abyssinian war at the
time, the march on Magdala and the
assault, and also told of the gallant cheer Of
that Irish regiment in the Queens service
which carried her flag to victory on the heights.
The ''colored troops fought nobly" in Africa,
and Napier and his men found plenty Of work.
So says his lordship of Magdala the HERALD
said so specially long since.

HURRY UP THAT PROCLAMATION The rxdf-
Gals in Connecticut are anxiously awaiting the
PRONUNCIATION of the Presidents proclamation
announcing the ratification of the fifteenth
amendment. This will enfranchise several
hundred colored citizens in the State who
never before have voted, and whose right to
do 50 has been denied by majority Of the
white people of Connecticut over and over
again-the last time, we believe, by some six
thousand majority. The great bulk of this
new vote will undoubtedly be cast for the radi.
cal candidates, and as it may be required to
defeat Governor English. the democratic can
didate for Governor, the sooner that proclama-
ton, licking the Connecticut darkies into the
shape of old-fashioncd voters, appears the
better for radical purposes in the State.
THE JERSEY JUSTICES are shrewd and un-
swerving in the administration of the law.
If they happen to make mistake on the side
of mercy, and find prisoner rather pleased
than otherwise at the extent Of his sentence,
they quickly reconsider the matter. In the
Essex County Court yesterday wife beater
was sentenced to six months Imprisonment,
but as he was going out the Judge detected
pleased expression on his face, and heard him
say ''Thank you, Judge, can stand that I"
1t was unfortunate for the wife beater, for the
Judge did not intend that he should have
punishment that he was pleased with. So he
called him back aud doubled his term.
