THE CUBAN CAUsE.-General Manuel Que
sada has written letter to Francisco Agui :
lera, Vice President, and Ramon Cespedes,
Secretary of Foreign Relations of the Cuban
republic telling them that he has been made
aware OF their mission to the United States
through a private letter from President Ces-
pedes. and congratulating them on their SER
vices to the cause. General Quesada says he
has not had any notice that his own mission is
at an end, but he desires to act only under
the direction of his distinguished compatriots.
He closes by appealing to all Cubans to be
true to the cause, and promises by his own
actions to show them worthy example. All
this may be very well; but 1t seems to be
somewhat late In the day. We have had
specimens of the same energy before; but if
the energy had been in actions instead of
speech Cuba would have been freed long ago.
AS things are, however, meaningless war
will go on without definite results on either
side, and nobody ought to know this better
than General Quesada.

GENERAL EwING's FINANCIAL SCHEME.-
General Thomas Ewing is behind the times
in his advocacy Of greenback currency and
payment of the debt In greenbacks. There
was time when this idea was rather popular,
particularly in the West; but that is past.
The financial policy of the government, the
acts Of Congress making the debt payable In
gold, and the approximation to specie basis
have settled the question. Even the West
will not now listen to General Ewings scheme.
We advise the General to try something more
practical with which to catch the popular
breeze

PoLIoE ON THE STREET CARs-The order Of
the Police Commissioners, providing for the
protection Of passengers in the street cars and
stages is wise one. Intoxicated and disor-
derby persons have long been the pest Of pub
lie vehicles in this city. No lady is certain on
entering street car, especially at night, that
she will not be insulted by some rowdy, aud
there is class of unmannerly animals who
ride in the stages for no other purpose than
the impunity with which they may address re-
spectacle women. Both the rowdies and the
more covert scoundrels need taking care Of,
and this police oversight will be likely to have
very wholesome effect. The same regua-
tons ought to be extended to excursion boats
aud other public conveyances which are
crowded by mixed multitude. We hope to
see complete reform in the behavior of the
rough part of our population by the exclusion
from the street cars and other public vehicles
of all intoxicated or disorderly persons. This,
we are assured, the police will speedily effect

SERIOUS COMPLICATIONS with Mexico are
impending 10 consequence of Indian raids from
Mexico into Texas. The Indians of the State
Of Coahuila make almost daily excursions
across the Rio Grande, despoiing the ranches
on the Texas side Of their stock, which is
driven into Mexico, and the marauders pro-
tected by the authorities. The Texans have
determined to avenge themselves, and threaten
to make demonstration into Mexico and re-
cover their stolen property by force Of arms.
Nothing should be left undone by the military
authorities TO prevent this threatened invasion
of Mexican territory by American citizens.
The commercial and political relations existing
between the two republics are too valuable to
be sacrificed in 30 worthless a cause.

THE SOUTHERN FIRE EATERS are evidently
in earnest in their hostility to the new North
ern democratic departure. Among the latest
blasts against 1t from Georgia is one from the
Dalton Citizen, in which this unreconstructed
old liner declares that ''the fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments we can never swallow,
since they were fastened upon the country and
incorporated in the constitution by gross usur-
patton and acknowledged fraud and violence; -
and he will not swallow these amendments
because this "would be an unqualified retrac-
ton and abandonment of every principle
for which the democratic party to-day is con-
tending" Well, considering the number Of
Southern old liners who are preaching the
same doctrines, we shall, no doubt, have a
third party in the South in 1872 on cold line"
democratic principles; for IL is morally GER
tain that the Southern democracy will not 20

The louisiana Republican Row.

The Louisiana HepuDiicnn Row.
The squabbles and the late row among the
Louisiana republicans have resulted in the d.
vision of the party down there into two hostile
camps-one headed by the lucky fellows who
are inside the Custom House, and the other BY
Governor Warmoth and bis fellow follow ers NhQ are
outside the Cn s.o H6ube. Those Louisiana
''scalawags," "carpet-baggers" ana anOis,Ous
''niggers" have been only following, however,
in this business the example set them by their
more enlightened brethren Of New York city.
Hero we have had for some time division Of
the party between the Conkling- Murphy fac
ton, who are inside the Custom House, and tho
Fenton-G Greeley faction, who are outside the
Custom House, and Messrs. Fenton, Greeley
and company, in order to get at Collector MUIR
ply and to get him out, and to get themselves
In, are determined to reduce General Grant to
one term. Governor Warmoth and his fol-
lowers, including certain toploftical Sena-
torial African, of the name of Pinchbeck. are
on the same tack. They will have change In
in their Custom House or they will have their
revenge upon General Grant.
Nevertheless, considering the high handed
doings of the Custom House clique Of mana
gers against the Warmoth gang at the late
New Orleans republican convention, we are
not surprised that General Grant is of the
opinion that the Custom House chaps carried
their joke little too far in the employment Of
soldiers to keep out of the convention the
Warmoth faction, and that he has resolved to
rectify the blunder thus committed by q walk
ing ticket to the blunderers directly respon-
sible. Meantime, we understand that q
powerful Warmoth delegation, one-half eau
casians and one-half American citizens of
African descent, including Pinchbeck, will at
once set out for visit to the President
In his cottage by the sea.
at Long Branch, in order to lay their grlev-
ances before him, so that justice may be done
in the punishment of Casey, Packard aud
their Custom House confederates, and in sop
of the spols and plumber to the hungry claim
ants concerned. Very good; and yet we
think that the best thing that General Grant
can do with this New Orleans Warmoth dele
cation of soreheads when they call upon him
will be to send them back again to settle their
miserable squabbles and to wash their dirty
linen at home.

Quite disgraeeful affair occurred near
Locust Grove last Saturday night week.
The particulars are as follows: One Cor
don-if I mistake not the name-had 3
grudge against one Ferguson. Ferguson
was returning from singing school on
horseback with his sweetheart behind
him. They met Gordon, who threw q
club at Ferguson, which frightened bis
horse, and caused him to throw Fergu-
son and the lady of. Gordon then bru-
tally pounded Ferguson and departed,
On Monday a warrant was sworn out
before Esq esiders, Gordon was arrest
ed, fined $40 and costs. He either would
or could not give surety, so Constable
Costello, with an assistant. started to
take him to Jail at West Union, all
mounted. After going some distance,
and whilst going up along muddy bill,
the prisoner was allowed to ride a short
distance ahead. Taking advantage Of
this, he laid whip, rode about Is rods at
full speed, jumped of his horse, took to
the woods, and that is the last he has
been heard of FRANK.
