CUBA.

HAVANA, November 2S.-The medical
students of the Royal University last
Thursday entered the cemetery and de-
molished the grave of Gonzalo. Casio
non, the chaplain who demonstrated
with them, was stoned. On Saturday
the Governor of Havana visited the Uni
yersity and demanded the names OF the
culprits, butEall remained silent. The
case was turned over to court. Several
of the students testified, and six men,
beers of the class being found guilty were
sent to prison. Forty-two others who
are suspected of completely are detained
by the court. Sunday night the volun-
teers assembled in large numbers about
the jail where the students were con-
fined and made loud threats Of immedi-
ate vengeance. The Captain General
visited the scene, and by the aid of the
officers of volunteers succeeded in dis
persing the crowd. A court martial for
the trial of the prisoners was immedi-
ately convened and is now in session.
The volunteers have again assembled
about the jail and threaten condign ven
geance upon the students in case the
court fails to convict and punish them.

surance given by the friends OF Gov
ernor Warmoth that his chosen candi-
date for the Presidency Of the Senate,
p. B. S. Pinchbeck, can be elected on
the first ballot, an inquiry into the mat
ter proves that the muddle grows worse
as it progresses. The first consideration
of the moment is the first ballot, on
which it is claimed by the Warmoth
faction that Pinchbeck will receive eigh-
teen or nineteen votes, independent Of
the Democrats, thus securing his cleo
ton. But this first ballotwill have to be OBJ
tanned, and that is exactly where the big
fight will occur. The Grant faction con-
tends that theGoyernment cannot legally
call an extra session Of the Senate,whioh
session is inexpedient, unnecessary, and
win entail useless additional expendi-
ture on the part of the State, whose
finances now, more than ever, should be
carefully nursed. On this line they
mean to fight it out in earnest, and when
il comes to the worst, they contend that,
with the assistance of the Democratic
Senators, Pinchbeck has no shadow OF a
chance"

MATAMoRAs, (via Brownsville, Texas
November 27.-The Governor of Tmala-
pas calls for loan of $4,000, to place
the State on a war footing. The people
oppose the loan. A national guard will
be organized at once. Cortina, Jua-
refs commander of the line, and the
rebel Generals Previno and Guirigia
had an interview few days ago at
Coral. The former agreed to await the
result of the attack at Saltilo, COM
menced on the 9Th instant.
Palachias, commander of Matamoras,
reports General Rocha, with 1000 gov
eminent troops, close to Saltilo.
A portion Of the government troops at
Camargo revolted and disbanded three
days ago for want of pay, and because
Cortina, the commander, did not pay
them after receiving money.
The commander of Matamoras being
isolated, has called on the government
for additional troops to sustain him in
holding the city. The commander has
sent relief of 400 men, by sea, from
Vera Cruz and Tampico.

LONDON, November 28.-The condi-
ton of the Prince of Wales has under
gone decided improvement since yes
terday. Towards midnight last night
symptoms of favorable change became
evident, and the Prince obtained little
rest, from which he awoke refreshed and
strengthened. The hopes of his physi-
clans are now much more favorable with
regard to the ultimate result Of their pa
tents illness. The medical bulletin is
sued this morning states that the intensi-
ty Of his symptoms are lessening, and
although the physicians hesitate to pro-
nounce danger past, tits hoped the change
which has taken place is an indication
that the Prince has experienced the
turn Of the fever, and is progressing
toward convalescence. The favorable
report of the Princes condition has
gone far to relieve the anxiety which
has filed the royal household in conse-
quence of his illness. Her Majesty,
who throughout has been untiring in
her attentions to the sufferer, and has
undergone great fatigue in consequence,
has been much comforted and eneour-
aged by the hopeful intelligence.

NEW YORK.

New York, November 2S.-Ex-Comp'
troller Connolly still occupies rooms at
the New Ysrk Hotel, with deputy
sheriff for a companion. The deputy
sheriff examines each candidate that
offers himself as bondsman fast as they
appear, and accepts or rejects them.

Washington R. Connolly, $4,000; Thos.
B. Connolly, $4,000. The four last
named are nephews of Connollys. One
of the reasons assigned by Connolly for
the great difficulty in obtaining bail was
that Tweed had been working during the
day to prevent responsible persons from
offering themselves.
The school excitement, which has
been agitating the residents Of Hunters
Point for some time past was brought TO
a climax yesterday by the expulsion of
forty scholars, all Roman Catholics, by
Mr.. Selbury, principal Of the school.

forestalling any further attempt at dis
turbance by their objections to the read
ing of the Bible in school. Mr.. Selbury

THE GREAT PEoPLE.

While the office-hunters, professional
politicians, and the like, are improvising
storms and hurricanes in coffee-pots and
tea-kettles, the body of the people, per
fectly mistaken by the uproar, move on
in the business Of life. There, hard
listed farmer sows and gathers his
corn and wheat, plants and digs his po-
toes, while his frugal wife and daugh-
tiers, with sleeves rolled up, perform the
work peculiar to the house. Here the me-
chanic beats upon the anvil, the last, or
drives the plane, or makes yon furnace
roar. Here, the cartman and dray-
man, all despatched with mud or
dripping with water, or scorched
with a summers sun, go on whistling
and humming the fragment Of song.
Here, the merchant tolls to make his
profits, and here the busy hive swarms to
and fro. Away over yonder rings the ak
and roars the falling forest. There, is the
church and there is the school house, and
there is the water-wheel plashing by the
mill; and there the engine puffs and
screams; and there the locomotive, over
its threads of iron, carries its freight Of
life and produce. Production has
adapted itself to commerce, and com
merce to everything. The laborer aud
the capitalist are in accord. The plan
ter and merchant have enacted laws for
the government of their relations. In a
word, there is harmonious blending
and intermingling Of all professions
and industries, for time hast adjusted |
them and exactly adapted each to the
other. Now, when this mighty mass Of
people are struggling for existence-an
honest existence must be struggled for
and working peacefully and in har-
mony with each other, the ofice-hunter
comes and cries, halt What does he
want? He wants a good Office, with
large pay, and one that, whether high or
low, will keep his hands from blisters
and from roughness. We are not
speaking of men whom the peo-
pie like to honor on account of
their capability and integrity, but
of your professional Office hunter,
the sum of whose idea of life is Office.
Is it not pity that the beautiful mo-
mentum and excellent harmony of the
vast machinery of industry should be
marred, excited and suspended by the
ranting aud vociferations Of one who
makes no particle in it2 1t is believed
that the time is not far distant when
demagogues will be understood, and as
signed their true position. Let the me-
chanic discourage them, nor turn from
his labor to listen to their words. Let
the plowman lose not furrow, nor halt |
his mule, except in the raging storm, or
in the blistering sun, for there the dema-
gogue cannot remain; he is too tender
for that. The people have officers to
elect. They know that very well, but
they cannot perceive the utility of get
ting into a passion about it. And so
they will move along and allow the little
tempests in little tea-pots to hiss on.

WASHINGTON, November 28.-Foster
Blodgett, who was recently indicted at

and asking a suspension of the writ OF
habeas corpus in Jackson county, in that
State, which the evidence showed to be
entirely in the hands Of the ku-klux.
The President did not indicate whether
he would issue proclamation, but
Messrs. Scott and Maynard are confident
that the evidence would warrant him in
doing so.

HOW THE PEOPLE BLEED.

An American paper says: The enor-
nous sums appropriated to the use of
the royal family, and for the purpose of
destinations display to enhance the
pomp Of royalty, seem to the practical
English unnecessarily large, and have
led them to inquire whether any ade-
quate return is made for these vast ex-
penditures. The cost Of the ruling fam
lily, including annuities, the interest on
large sums as that given to Princess
Louise, military and naval pay to va
rious members of the family, incomes
from the Duchies Of Lancaster and
Cornwall, and the like, as well as money
expended on the Queens priyy purse
and the household, is set down at s7O7,-
900 directly expended on the Queen and
her relations. In addition, the house
hold troops are estimated 10 cost over
and above the cost Of an equal number
of troops Of the line at least 100000;
while the expense Of the royal yachts
IS set down at 100000 more, other
items Of less importance going to swell
the direct and positive cost Of royalty to
about 81, 900, 900, or s5.OOO,OOO a year. d"
That is huge amount of money for the
toiling people Of England to pay for
royalty, and it is creating great dissatis-
faction. A republic is talked Of on the
demise Of Victoria. Now, if the En-
glish people would fly to a republic to
escape so great an expense, had they
not before taking that step, look into
the workings Of our government They
would find that the amount Of money
stolen here per annum is much greater
than the anount paid to royalty. We
never hear OF defaulters aud public
thieves in England. Punishment there
Il certain. It is not so here. The big
ger the theft, the bigger the man is our
thief.
