To Mr.. Brooks belongs the credit of cutting
up this cake into very small slices-so small,
indeed. that we have no doubt this numerous
pip-iron constituency will have an opportu-
nity of obtaining a slice for each OF its men,
bers; fractional one to be sure, but quality,
not quantity, is the grand consideration in SO
rich production.
If the Hon. Mr.. Cake has the fortune to be
a member of the next Congress, he will no
doubt know Mr.. Wells and the Free-trade
League good deal better than he does now,
especially when he and his ''pig' headed CON
stituency have learned through them truth,
of which they at present seem to be ignorant
namely, that the people have some rights
which even they are bound to respect. When
he goes home to his admiring friends to
lament with them over the passage of reve-

Cuba would belong 70 us. Here, then, is a
fine opportunity TO crafty national ambition
and to promote national interests. Then
there is British Columbia knocking for admis-
sion to the United States; there is q similar
movement on the Red river, in the heart Of
the continent, and some of the British colo
MES on the Atlantic side are casting wistful
eyes to the great republic. Cannot General
Grant strike out in a bold policy for tho &C
QUESTION Of some OF all these territories as a
settlement of the Alabama claims or upon
some other terms2 Extension of ter
ritory and increase Of population and pro-
ducts lead to an increase of commerce and
shipping, and that is just what we need
now. Besides, the President might well turn
his attention TO measures for extending
our trade abroad and for reviving our mer-
camille marine. The republic has reached
that prominent position when it cannot stand
still. It must advance exteriorly with the
wonderful progress and developments of the
age, with its internal growth and in accord
ance with the aspirations of the people, or
stagnation will follow, domestic trouble will
spring up, and we shall fail to fulfil the great
destiny marked out for us. If General Grant
comprshends the necessities Of our national
situation, and should strike out in new and
bold policy in accordance with them, his ad-
ministration will be a success; but if his
vision be confined TO petty local affairs and
party politics, If he cannot understand the
mission and destiny of this mighty country,
and remains the mere instrument of the
narrow-minded politicians that surround him,
he will prove q lamentable failure and his
glorious war record will be buried beneath the
unpopularity of his government.

A CAKE AND NO MISTAKE.

From the NJ Y. World.
Men who value 'tmens sGnG IN corpore
sdaO" are seldom partial to cake OF any kind.
They regard it as particularly unwholesome,
being compounded of Ingredients which, as
Miss Martineau says of pie-crust, are any
thing but beneficial to digestion. 1t seems,
however, that a certain protectionist district
in Pennsylvania has so high an opinion of the
virtues of cake as to send representative of
that name to Congress We are not told,
indeed, what kind of cake it is that has been
put forward to represent the iron and coal
interests of this enlightened section of the
State, but we should judge it to be plum
cake nicely filed with bills for the protection
of American (Pennsylvanian) industry, into
which the young protectionist Jack Horner,
can insert his thumb and draw out plum for
himself, saying, "What brave boy am I!"-
an amusement highly creditable to all the
parties concerned, Cake included.
During the late debate on the subject of
printing Mr. Wells report, this animated and
amiable Cake proceeded to deliver himself as
follows
Mr.. Cake Pa) loquitur-Mr Speaker, the
earlier work OF Mr. Wells In the interest OF protec
ton is pronounced credtable. The mistake seems
10 have been In sending him to England In an oicia
capaclty Had 1t not been for tue ecdt OF his official
capacity he might have gone to England In safety

 ANOTHER VICTORY Wednesday s mail from Apache Pass has brought US an account of another brilliant victory achieved over tba savages of cachiss by that already famous h. dian-fghter. Colonel Barnard. Cachise, for some two CT three weska, continued to dspre date in lhs neighborhood of Apache Pass but When pursued succeeded, in most instanctS, in escaping. About the 25th ut. Colonel Bar
 nard with scouting party of 75 men, including guides, packers, etc, went in pursuit of this notorious savage, and on the 18th struck his trail where it led into the foothills of the Dra- goon mountains retreat which appeared in
 accessible. But, Barnard has already many times given proofs that he is no: one to be baked by any obstacle not evidently unsur- mountaols and with his characteristic energy and skill proceeded to lay his plans to sntr.p the cunning Apache leader, Under cover of night he climbed to the rancheria, distance of several miles, and took his position; and on the morning of the 30th commenced the attack The Indians were taken entirely by surprise and disappeared by apparently innumersbls mountaia trails, but uo! however, until after fifteen various were stretched dead upon the spot and two prisoners secured The bar of gold, taken from the Apache Pass mns, and in the possession of Gel J. E Stone when murdered was found upcn the person OfOue of the dead Indians.

THE question is likely to be soon
presented, whether we are to have the
road from Selma running into our city
and bringing its trains of cotton, pro-
duce and coal, by which, while our
incomes are to be increased, our ex-
penses are to be diminished. Ana IN
order to this suspicious result, the pre-
Iiminary question must be determined
whether the city will issue S25O,OOO IN
bonds. and the county $500, 900; which
being done will make the result GER
tain. So much are we opposed to in
creasing, unnecessarily, the public
indebtedness, we should unhes-
itatingly oppose the issuance if
the a s was not a clear one
bevond a reasonable dOubt. The
CITY cannot progress without such ex-
penditure as is necessary to purchase
fine a And, with that expendi-
ture. it would seem extravagant to
predict the extent of the growth
which will follow upon it and is GER
tain to result. The experience of the
country has already attested this to
such an extent as to silence all cavil
and suppress all doubt. 1t will in
crease our population and tax paying
capacity to a large extent, and that
without oppression to any. 1t viii

life to mercantile business, bring in
a larger supply. of goods, and increase
the amount of their sales and profits,
without increasing prices, but, on the
contrary, reducing the cost to con-
sumers. 1t will furnish a market to
the country and cheaper its supplies
and the transportation Of its pro.
