the lions share; the outs insist upon coming
into the iAt places, and tho ins protest against
going out A general caucus Of the wranglers
has been tried ss remedy for these troubles,
but 1t has slgnally failed. An appeal is to be
carried up to the General Committee Of Tam
many Hall on Monday night next, which will
probably smash that machine. So with the
State Central Committee, should it interfere TO
regulate the distribution Of these city spoils.
In any event, from present appearances, the
city reforms we shall get from this demo-
cratic Legislature will be an enlargement Of
every placer Of spoils and plunder, and few
more millions added to our city tax levy.

Almost every day, for some weeks past, the
Washington correspondents have been telling
the public that the committees on Foreign
Affairs Of both houses Of Congress were about
to do something, or had agreed to do some
thing, favorable to the Cubans. A number Of
resolutions to that effect have been offered
and referred to these committees. But the
mountain has brought forth nothing yet; and
II we may Judge from the latest reports it
will only give birth to little mouse after all.
The result Of all the resolutions, speeches,
conferences of the foreign committees and
labors of the friends OF Cuba is likely to be
only string Of neutrality resolutions
that will put the Spaniards and the
Cubans on the same footing. This is o
very small mouse for such mountain
to bring forth. Perhaps this would be
better than nothing, though it comes late to
benefit the insurgents materially, and after
Spain has received all the aid In war materials
she needed from the United States. Never
before did so great nation as this exhibit
such weakness and vacillation. Both the ad-
ministration and Congress seem paralyzed by
timidity. Neither the public voice nor public
policy can dispel their fears or nerve them to
face this question in manly spirit. No won
der that Spain is boastful and threatening; no
wonder that American citizens are slaughtered
with impunity by the bloodthirsty Spanish vol
unteers; no wonder that our Consuls, the re-
presentatives ofthis great republic, are obliged
to fee for their lives and to take shelter under
foreign flag. The conduct of the govern
ment must make every true-hearted American
feel deeply the shame and humiliation brought
upon the country. Instead Of these neutrality
resolutions, why does not Congress direct
the President to acknowledge the bellige-
rency of the Cubans? No unprejudiced
person can deny the fact that the Cubans are
bellgerents. Eighteen months of war against
all the power Spain could bring to bear and
the successes of the Cubans prove beyond
doubt that these people have won the charac-
ter OF belligerents. This country ought to hail
the opportunity afforded to extend republican
institutions in this hemisphere, instead of aid
ing European despotism-and the worst des-
potism in the civilized world-to crush the
rising liberties Of an American people. Every
principle of policy, right, justice and humanity
calls for prompt recognition of the Cubans as
belligerents. Spain would have no just cause
for complaint. We owe her nothing. She
recognized the Confederates early in our war
and gave them most efficient aid. Are we
afraid of Spain? If so let us tell the Cubans
plainly that we abandon them. But let us not
pursue weak and vacillating policy, for that
will make the mighty American republic con-
temptible in the eyes Of the world

The POSTAL TELEGRAPH SYSTEM IN FRANCE
AND acknowledgements Washburn, of
Wisconsin, has received official information
from France Of the. operations Of the postal
telegraph system under government control.
AS we have repeatedly asserted, the exhibit is
most favorable to the system, the number OF
.-7sssages having Increased enormously and the
receipts being much larger than ever, although
the rate per message is as low as economy de-
mands. Advices from England are to the
same effect as those from France. The in
crease of business has been great, and there is
no doubt that the postal telegraph system will
prove decided success In Great Britain.

JUDGE BEDFORD yesterday denied the mo-
tion to quash the indictment against Thomas
jackson, charged with the murder of Archi-
bald Douglas last November. The ground on
which the motion was made was that the ac-
cused had previously been indicted for man
slaughter, and that consequently the action Of
. second Grand Jury in finding true bill for
murder in the first degree should be quashed
and Jackson tried under the first indictment.
The prisoner, it will be remembered, was a
deputy sheriff at the time he killed Douglas.

THE ANNEXATION OF ST. DoAnNGo.-A
coup S'etGt is meditated by the friends of the
proposition to annex st. Domingo to the
United States in the event of the Senate not
ratifying the pending treaty, which requires
two-thirds vote. 1t is proposed that a joint
resolution be passed by both Houses of Con-
gress, as was done in the case of Texas,
authorizing the annexation Of the island. 1t
is believed that majority of the Senate will
support the measure, while there appears to
be no doubt of the consent Of the House.
Such being the case, the prospects are that ST.
Domingo will find shelter under the protecting
wing of the Union, in spite Of Mr.. Sumner and
the other narrow minded Senators.

EXCITING NEWS FROM AFRIoA.-Despatche

sident Of Liberia is prosecuting an active war
against the neighboring natives" 1t is to be
hoped that the governments of England and

trality. 1t is return to first principles, but
where is the right of belligerency? Which

THE RIGHT OF WAY for ship canal across
the Isthmus of Darien has been secured from
the Colombian government; but the way, or
the right way, for that canal remains to be
discovered. We are somewhat sanguine that
the exploring expedition now searching for 1t
will find it; and it they do the capital for the
work will be raised at once, and perhaps
within two years thereafter the sailing route
from New York to San Francisco will be short
cned fourteen thousand miles.

Bad News from Italy.

Gable kilograms from Florence report that the
city of Pava was made the scene of tumults
yesterday, in which the military and citizens
came in conflict with fatal effects The de-
spatch says "some were shot on both Sides"
This wording indicates that the conflict was
severe one. We are not told, however, what the
'stumults" were about or how they originated.
In the Parliament Sehor LAMA, speaking for
the Cabinet, confirmed the news of the blood
shed, adding that ''the government will do all
in its power to prevent the recurrence of such
lamentable events" Such remarks, coming
from such an authority on such subject, are
of themselves lamentable. Government will
do ''all in its power to prevent" disturbances.
Why, that is just what the London Peace So
ciety does all over the world in time of war,
and just as the war is right on; SO much, but
no more. The fact is that Italy is considerably
demoralized by politicians, the churchmen,
inanciers and peace men. The day of her
'uniication" is, we fear, far way of, and it
is quite evident that the existence of the Coun-
Gil in Rome does not hasten the approach Of
the moment of the "Set triumphantes." AS in
the time of Virgil, the SIC DOS non 0obis is in
melancholy realization in the sunny cline.

still unconvinced. 1t is not otherwise with the
American bishops, with some bishops and with
some statesmen elsewhere. The Pope is less
believer than he ought to be, and SO it is all
round. The Pope does not believe that he is
not infallible. The American bishops and those
who, like them, have some respect for the prin-
ciples of common sense, do not believe in in
fallibility. They are unbelievers, all. Even
Dr.. Manning, who insists that there should be
no doubt no disbelief, is a Thomas of the worst
kind. Why will not all our good and we'll
meaning ecclesiastical friends come out of
their dens? Will. they never learn that there
is some truth in Bacon's idea of an 'idol Of the
cave?" They all look out on the world from
their cave. VIII they not begin to beIiev e that
there are other things in the world than are
dreamed of in their philosophy?
ANOTHER BATTLE IN CUBA.--A special
telegram from Havana, by way Of Key West,
informs us of the successful landing of O
Cuban expedition at Nuevas Grandes and
distance from the point where the landing was
effected it is probable that a junction had been
made between the invading party and con-
siderable body of the Cubans, and thus con-
solidated the insurgents gave battle to the
Spaniards at the place named. Troops have
been forwarded in hot haste from Puerto
Principe, via Nuevitas, to the scene Of action.
The fact of no particulars Of the engagement
having been received, or, at least, none made
public in Havana, looks bad for the Span
iards. They generally make s'big blow
when they accomplish anything. Silence, in
this instance, may be reg arded as an iadica-
ton of Cuban victory.
WHAT CRY REFORM MEANS AT ALBANY
The spells. And the new charters proposed
mean new di vision of the spoils and the
new ones still to come will be shaped simply
to SO cure the spoils. All the schemes of re-
form proposed, and all likely to be proposed,
have or will have as their main object, not
reductions but an increase of the spoils. None
of our city reformers at Albany propose to
reduce the .spoils. But the trouble is the
division Of the spoils to the satisfaction of
each and all of the squabbling cliques Of
spoilsmen concerned. Each CLIQUE demands

The Land Ring.

The Columbia Guardian has received q
dispatch from c. P. Leslie late land COM
missioner, dated at Phoenix, New York, in
which he denies the statement made in the
communication of Republican" of June l.,
as to the part charged upon him in the sale
of the Schley lands to the Land Commission.
The Guardian presumes that he had not
read the second article Of Republican,
which places the blame of the transaction
upon other shoulders, where it seems to rest
complacently.
For our part, we heartily wish that sena-
tor Leslie would make clean breast OF it.
We are inclined to think that he is more
sinned against than SHINING, but this long
silence looks awfully ugly.
