The Trouble in Cuba.

Since the visit of the United Safes Commits
sioners to San Domingo, there has been very
strong feeling against our citizens in Havana.
II has become so intensified of late, that their
persons and property are endangered On the
9th uldmo, our CONSUL General telegraphed
HOMO ,hst Amerleon sitizsus there needed the
immediate protection Of the government The
matter was laid before the Cabinet on the next
day, and an armed feet Of four or FIVE vessels
has teen ordered to Havana, to be placed in
immediate communication with the Consul
General Il is asserted on good authority,
that if the Cuban volunteers destroy the life
and property Of American residents, the COM
mander Of the feet is to demand immediate
reparaton and apology. If they are refused,
he has instructions to FIRE their guns on the
city Of Havana Admiral Lee, commanding
the south Atlantic squadron, is now in Wash
iugton. He is busily engaged in despatching
his vessels 10 the scene Of trouble.
Il is extensively rumored also, that Gen.
Sickles, our minister to Spain, has been re-
called.

Country Before Party.

The tendency to subordinate party to coun-
try and the schemes and contrivances ofselfSh
politicians to the public good is every day be-
coming more distinctly marked. What viii
come Of it all We shall know before many
months shall have passed away The Chicago
Tribune Republican, thus expresses itself on
thesubject:
The safety Of public liberty depends upon a
resolute breaking down of party machinery
lust as often as that machinery is used corrupt
IL, OF to the exclusion Of the people from free
choice Of rulers. Mr.. Beecher is right when
be insists ,ha, patriotism is the highest virtue.
Without It, man is at bcs, a merely selfish AMI
NAL. 4 patriotic people can never be brought
to believe that party is superior to country, or
that public interest can only be advanced by
electing 10 office such miscreants as happen to
purchase a caucus nomination. The oftener
the revolution accomplished in New York city
and Chicago in November is repeated, the bet
ter il will be for public interest.
II such is the feeling Of the Chicago Tribune
and Of the large class Of Republicans through
out the country with which that Journal acts.
let them do something. and not satisfy their
conscieuccs by mere empty utterances. Let
them organize against Grant.-Riehmoad

Is constitutional Party" Proposed.

Hon A. H. H. Stuart, in recent number
Of the S,aunton Spectator. proposes a "COn-
sti,utional Party" lie thinks the name
democratic is the chief cause Of the recent
want Of success at the North, and that all viii
be well if it can only BE- changed to "ConStitu-
tional Party" And Mr.. Stuart is only one Of
thousands Of men-good and true-in the
country, North and South, who think and feel
the same thing. What's in a name" if the
change Of it-without the REIMBURSEMENT Of
vital prineiple-good may be accomplished
Mr.. Stuart continues
"Let US then unfurl our Gag with this name,
so significant Of our patriotic mission, inscribed
upon it. Let Us appeal TO the good men of all
sections aud parties and shades Of opinion to
unite with Us in rebuilding the Temple of Lii
berry, and replacing therein the Ark Of the
COvenant-the Constitution Of the United
States, as framed by Washington, Hamilton
aud Madison, and expounded by Jay, MaE-
shall and fancy. Let us seek the co-opera-
ton Of men like Schurz, and Trumbull, and
Graiz Brown, and Cox Of Ohio, Evarts, and
others, who, however much they may have dii-
fered from us in the past, have shown that
when danger threatens the citadel of freedom
they are capable Of rising far above the beheSts
Of party to yield homage to their country.
IF the inquiry be made, how can this be
done? we answer, let some prominent men
say orr Conservative Central Committee al
Richmond-at once place themselves in COM
munication with some trusted friends at Wash
ington, and induce them to send, far and wide
to all parts Of the Union, invitations TO the
wiseSt aud best men of every section to meet in
Washington city about the middle of January
% take counsel with each other, and with Sen
ators and members, in regard to the wises
course to be adopted in the great crisis which
is SO near at hand
"Such conference can, by DO possibility, do
harm. ln all probability, il would be prOduc'
tive Of most important and beneficial results
Surely it is worth the experiment"
We see the good results in the old Common
wealth Of Virginia Of the banding together o
conservative parties to defeat radicalism.-
West Virginia and Missouri have been redeem
ed by the united forces Democratic onser
vatiye." No good democrat would refuse tn,
vote for his party Of a republican, therefore
to work out the salvation Of genuine republic
can form Of government we should not declin,
the cooperation of the elements that will ena
Die US to win back the liberties Of the peopl
and arrest the tidal-wave Of radicalism, fanati
cism and Capitalization which has well nigl
overwhelmed us as a nation. We want an up
rising Of the honest masses to put down tn
Grant dynasty and corruption, and save tn
Republic.

The Day of Small Men:


The Macon gal Telegraph complains Of
the great number Of candidates who offer them
selves for every Office to be filed by the pre-
sent Legislature of that State, saying, " They
are as numerous as frogs in Ware county
swamp 1t adds: "The rule generally be-
ing that the less fit man is for any given po-
sition, the more rip-staving busy he is to get
it." The same paper alludes to tho present
as "tho day for mud puddle medOcrity," 1t
says:
We have been forced since the war, by the
stress of an Infamous necessity, to use some
mighty small timber in the reconstruction OF
our political house, and that's the reason there
is such a stir among the medic es. They see
no reason why they may not all have show
ing before the offices give out. Where light
ming has struck once it may strike again, is
their notion, we suppose.
The same condition Of things, says the Rich
mond Wing, existed in Virginia, but we are
fortunately recovering from it. While Radi-
cal government prevailed here, we not only
had much very small, but very rotten timber.
While undergoing the reconstruction process,
we were ourselves compelled, by the stress Of
the times, to use some very small timber-our
big timber being declared contraband. Really,
it had got to this pass that men of the smallest
calibre coveted the most important Offices and
places of honor. Men who, in good old times,
would never have had the audacity to aspire
to a higher position than that Of county dele
gate or Commonwealth attorney, aspired to
senatorships, the chief magistracy and seats on
the Court of Appeals bench. No position was
too high for them.
We are glad to be able to say that We are
gradually passing out Of that most unpleas-
ant political stage, and that upstart preteusion:
excite only ridicule. Obscure men are be-
ginning to lose heart, and are retiring out o.
public view, or seeking such places as are suit
able for them.
When we look back and think of the high
places that small men aspired to we fee
amazed that their pretensions should ever fol-
a moment have been tolerated.
We hope that hencefortb we may be able t.
select the best and choicest material for tbt
| public service

Old Records---Virginia in ''Ye Olden
TVmeo = 81

The records of the general court, which en-
braced deeds and other documents relating to
Virginia from the earliest period Of her history,
and when territorially she embraced within her
limits Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Hill
nois, West Virginia and other States, were all
destroyed when the State courthouse was con-
suEed by fire on the memorable Sd Of April,
1865. The records bore date even anterior to
the settlement at jamestown, and their value
as historical memoranda cannot be computed.
In the earlier books one could see what pro-
visions the Colonists wereiu the habit Of max
ing to ward off the danger constantly threaten
ing them from the murderous inroads OF the
Savage Indians" and how they proposed to
circumvent the -pyrate Kidd who was ex-
pected in Chesapeake bay on hostile ncursions
sundry times.
The oldest existing records in the city are
perhaps to be found in the General hand- Office
of Virginia. These date from 1923. The
first grant of land in these books is made by
Sir Francis Wyatt, Governor and Captain
General of Virginia, with the consent of the
Council of State" to one Richard Stephens,
and conveyed certain land in James City,
which land, as the grant goes on to say, lyeth
South upon the bay along the great river, "
noble james, and was made for his " better
containing that Others may be the more en-
couraged by his example to build and enclose
some ground about their houses for gardening
aud planting and other profitable uses" This
land grant is dated in July, 1923, sin the six
tenth year of this Plantation" according to
which Virginia was settled first in 1907 The
name originated, however, in the year 1884,
soon after the return of Sir Walter Raleigh's
first expedition to the New World"

PRESIDING oGeer Of he C0nvertion

II s very nar,rd that the large legislative
experience ard familiarity with parliamentary
proceedings lie distinguished ability and in
CON parable energy and Industry Of the Hon.
CtAELsS j. FAULKSER, should attract public
Nttenli5n and mark him couspicuously for the
Craftsmanship Of the,West Virginia Constitu-
tional Convention and il is, also, quite natu-
ral that the extraordinary combination in him
Of the requisites for such a responsible position
should excite the petty jealousy Of small poll
ticians throughout the especially Of
those not in accord with the reform movement
and who are chagrined at the departure Of the
sceptre from their hands and we are not sur
prised to End that their light artillery is brought
to bear upon bim-so accustomed are they to
placing in positions Of high public trust men
Of mediocre attachments or abilities.
Fortunately, and in contrast with the past Of
West Virginia's career, there are men now
called into the councils of the State equal to
the necessities Of the times, and Of the elect to
the Convention are a number Of gentlemen, en-
insnt as statesmen and Legislators, fitted for its
most important positions and duties; and we
arc pleased to know that our own Senatorial
district win be so favOrably represented. We
mention Messrs. Faulkner and TEAvERs-
either of whoS would dignity the Chair, and
bring to it acquaintance with its functions
and the usages Of dehberative bodies, enlight-
eued Judgments Ind liberal views, and perform
the delicate and responsible duties in pleas
ing and acceptable manner. The selection Of
either Of these gentlemen would be gratifying
to US, personally, and to their constituents
would be regarded compliment to this sec
ton, and would rebound to the interests Of the
commonwealth.

Impertinence Rebuked.

The officious inpertinence of Gen. Grant in
local politics remarks the Lynchburg Ne,cs has
received a pointed rebuke in Arkansas 1t
will be remembered that Grants friend, Sena-
tor Clayton, was indicted by grand jury COM
posed mainly Of Republicans, for being con-
cerned in election frauds Of the most scandal
lous character and that Gen. Cutterson, the
United States Marshal, wasremoved from Office
by Grant in consequence of his being concern
ed in an attempt to bring Clayton to justice, a
friend Of the latter being appointed in his
place. To show their feeling in regard to this
action Of President Grant, the people Of Little
Rock have just elected Gen Cutterson as Mayor
Of that city by vote Of more than two to one,
his opponent being man put forward by the
Clayton faction. The Little Rock Journal
says that this result is victory of honest men
over thieves, ballot-box suffers and public
plunderers, a d that fouler pack than the
defeated local ring has never infested any mu-
nicipality.

Grantism in Georgia.

Among the robberies perpetrated on the poo
pie Of Georgia under the Bullock administration
there is none more calculated to excite the
indignation Of honest people everywhere than
the fraudulent lease of the Western and Allan
tic Railroad, OF shs State Road as it is COM
monty called.
In this transaction the most conspicuous in
dividual next to Gov Bullock is Columbus
Delano. President Grants Secretary of the
Interior, political edviser. aud bosom friend.
Intimately associated with Delano in the affair
is Senator Simon Cameron IL Pennsylvania
It is not known whether Gen. Grant himself
has pecuniary interest in the business, but
considering his interestto other improper spec
uIations il is most probable that he has.-N y

President Making.


General Butler is reported to have said late
~ that President making is to be the main
business Of the approaching session Of Con-
gress. Everybody, says the Richmond Wing,
knew this before Butler said it. President
making What is it ? 1t means, says the New
York Journal Of Commerce, corrupt appoint
ments, bribery, the neglect of all practical
business" The greatest and worst Ring ever
formed in this country is that now working in
the interests of Grant. 1t is so strong and is
backed up by so many forces that nothing less
than an uprising Of the people, without re-
spect Of party, can put it down. 1t is Ring
composed of all the office-holders, contractors
and plunderers in this country, every man of
whom has personal interest in the continu-
ance of Grant in the Presidential Office. There
is no usurpaiion, no fraud, no violence that
they will not resort to ether than be defeated.
But as the Journal Of Commerce well says
President-makers and lobbyists-the lii, st
powerful of them-are not as strong as the
people, and the whirlwind Of political revolu-
ton, such as is brewing, may drive them into
disgrace, or out of the country, as it has driv
en- some Of the most audacious fellows of the
New York Ring. No other five words can
express the idea equally well therefore we
bring out the immortal adage, Revolutions
DO not 90 backward" The mighty reform
movement commenced in New York. 1t is
travelling fast through the States, roofing out
the little rings of towns and villages Civ
en- time enough. it will attack Washington,
and break up the biggest and worst ring in
existence, that at the capital, which proposes
to amuse itself with President making while
the country suffers.
