AMNESTY.

We never believed President Grant or any
of his fuglemen in the Senate in favor of
amnesty. Their proposed amendments and
votes few days since have convicted them
Of the grossest hypocrisy. President Grant
is as much responsible for these votes as if
he were Senator. If he has no influence
over such extreme partisans as Morton, Ed
munds, & Co.,he is even more incompetent
than we had supposed.
But we had thought so true Democrat
as Senator Garrett Davis would throw no
embanasSments IN the way of speedy am
nesty. He has introduced resolution to
inquire into the Grant relations in Office.
To do that thoroughly win occupy the en-
tire time, energy and ability of this Con-
gress. Give US amnesty and let the unnum-
bered Grants go to tannery.
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1871-12-24

The Democratic party never did permit
corruption in Office, and never did sustain
those who were VIGOROUSLY dishonest.
When 1t administered the Government,
taxes were placed at the lowest figures, and
its officers never did steal the peoples
money. And yet such patty must GO
down and be trampled to death BY one that
Is covered with every fraud and blackened
with every crime. This is not a cheerful
view to take of our affairs, but we do not
see how any other can be taken. Our party
is wonderfully sick and at sea.
We extract the above from a recent edi-
torial of the Memphis Ledger. That there
are few, comparatively very few of the
Southern Anti-Grant journals, who think
that the Democracy should disband is true,
but they have yet failed to make any i'm
preston on the Democratic organization.
Why should the Democracy disband? Is
there no strength in discipline and organiza-
ton? The question presents itselfto those
who think the Democracy cannot win single
handed, Can we accomplish more by fu-
sion than we can by alliance? Are our
chances so extremely desperate9 Taking
the popular vote at the last Congressional
election, the Democracy were less than
$4,000 in the minority; counting only the
white vote, they were over quarter of a
million in the majority. So stood the De-
mocracy. What may we expect when we
get this large liberal Republican vote, which
is so bitterly opposed to the Grant party9
But we are told that we can only get this
vote by laying down our arms, trailing our
standards in the dust, abandoning our or
ganization, disowning our name and lin
cage. Stop. Ifthey will not stoop ~ to
become our allies, can we hope anything,
expect anything, trust anything from fu-
sion with them?
Let the Democracy stand firm and unit
ed. If we cannot SO dispose of our forces
as to secure the defeat of Grant in the next
Presidential election,we can carry the House
of Representatives, without which Radical
ism will be powerless.

THE Washington Patriot says that Sec
rotary Boutwell, would have made a good
Minister for Pharaoh in the days of the
Egyptian famine. lie would have sworn
the lean kline were in excellent condition,
and their significant ribs a token of unex-
ampied prosperity. In 1860, with popula-
ton Of 100000, we exported of the six
domestic manufactures of boots and shoes,
woolens, carriages, candles, manufactured
tobacco and gunpCwder goods to the value
of S3,554, 593. In 1870, with 100000
people, we exported only S3,193, 700 worth.
In the face of startling and portentous ar
ray Of facts like this, Mr.. Boutwell, yet
says: "There is no substantial reason for
questioning the truth of the statement that
the last five years have been the most pros
porous in the history Of the country" Why
recommend any abItement whatever of
taxation, Mr.. Boutwell,? Evidently the
country don't need it?

THE REIGN OF TERROR IN CUBA.


In its issue Of the 10Th inst, the New
York Tribune publishes a communication
two and half columns in length, from the
pen Of Mrs. Lila Waring de Luaces, who,
for two years, was with her husband, DR..
Luaces, within the lines Of the Cuban In
surgents. This communication is, from
beginning to end, story of horror, and if
half that is told be true, the Spanish power
in Cuba ought not to last an hour. The
Tribune'S editorial ssums up the facts in a
few lines thus o
Accustomed as we are TO narratives of
barbarity in Cuba, this picture Of the mas
sacre Of women, children and helpless inva-
lids, is enough to make us stand aghast.
Savages never showed more barbarity than
the volunteers Of the unfortunate island.
The pioneers Of the Indian wilderness never
suffered worse tortureS than the wretched
nOn-COmbatants whom Spanish soldiers
found within the insurgent lines. Men
were bayOneted and hacked to death under
the eyes of their wives and children. Pris-
oners were butchered to save the trouble of
transportation. In one place seven women
and i've children were decaptated. In an
other woman was chopped to pieces
with her new born child. Four men
who had taken no part in the insurrec-
ton were crucifed, wearing crowns Of
thorns. A young man dying of consump-
ton was carried out of the house in a chair
and shot through the head, the bullet ell
tering the body of his mother. He was the
last Of five brothers, all massacred by the
volunteers. Two ladies, with four children,
were cut to pieces, and a fifth child, two
ears of age, was thrown alive into their
burning house. A young lady, suspected
of carrying letters to the insurgents, was
first searched and then ordered to pass in
review before the governor of Puerto
Principe and a number of his officers, with
nothing on her person but single under
garment"
