FRIDAY. JUNE o. 1871.

II is seen more and more, that the Cuban in
surrection was great mistake. Those en-
gagged in il might have secured substantially
everything they desired, by acting in Cuba as
the firm friends of the revolutionary govern
ment of Spain. By organizing an instruction,
they left that government with no supporters in
the island, save the volunteers, and these
volunteers" represent the malignant Isabelsts,
the!slave-uaders, and all other Cubans naturally
connected with them. They are inveterate enc
mics of political reform, and of the changes
that have been made in the Spanish government.
That government, as now constituted, would
make Cuba as free and independent as Canada;
but the volunteers effectually obstruct all en-
deavors to introduce the proposed changes, and
even defy the government itself, as we
have seen in their notification of Or
ders from the authorities in Spain, directing
restoration Of plantations belonging TO Ameri-
cans, which had been unwarrantablyI seized.
How different the political condition of Cuba
would be, if there had been no Instruction. If
the men who organized instruction, had sup.
ported the new government of Spain, and Sec
onded its efforts to establish reforms in Cuba,
they would now have control of the island, and
the volunteers" would be powerless. 1t has
become necessary to know whether Spain really
governs Cuba; in a word, whether these "volun-
teers" acknowledge responsibility to anybody.
1t may be hoped that our government will now
have this point determined beyond the posi-
bility of further doubt

A CHoCTAw EXECUTION.-A gentleman OF
Jonesburg, No. recently returned from Texas,
relates an extraordinary occurrence which took
place q short time since in the Indian nation.
Choctaw Indian, having committed a ,wiliuI
murder, was arrested, tried and sentenced TO be
shot to death. He asked for twenty days in
which to prepare and visit his friends, giving
his word of honor as "brave" to return at the
appointed time, and was allowed TO go forth
without guard or bail.
At the expiration of the twenty days, accord
ing to appointment, the hour for the execution
arrived, and the Indian, true to his word, at the
very hour and minute galloped up to the place
where the sentence was to be carried out, in
company with three of his sisters and three
brothers, all appearing as cheerful as though
they had come to dance or frOlic. The coffin
was then brought on the ground, but some one
remarked that it was too small, upon which one
of the doomed Indians brothers told him to lie
down in it and measure, which he cheerfully
did, and laughingly said, at fits all right"
The crowd meanwhile appeared to be in the
most cheerful spirits, and cracked jokes and
laughed.
At last, when all was ready, the doomed man
was ordered to sit on the ground A hand
kerchief was then placed over his eyes by his sis
ter. While the sheriff held one hand, one OF the
condemned Indians brothers held the other on
stood in an old house, about ten steps in front
of the condemned, with a rifle. From some
cause the rifle went off accidentally, the bullet
passing up through the roof OF the house. Inc
Indian, believing he was shot, drew himself up
and shuddered, but did not speak or move from
the spot. A black mark was then made over
the Indians heart, with spittle and powder, by
his brother, while the deputy sheriffreloaded his
rife, and at signal he took steady aim, fired,
and pierced the centre of the mark. The In
dian, with few struggles, fell back dead, with
the brother and the sheriff still holding his
hands. No one seemed to be in the least affect
ed except the doomed Indians mother, who shed
tears, but was told to "shut up" by her son,
that all was over.
