CUBA AND PORTO RICO.
Shall Uncle Sam Purchaser

New YORK, March 17.-While some
Washington correspondents deny any
truth whatever in the report of the pro
posed fate Of Cuba and Porto Rico, the
Tribune correspondent confirms his dis
patch and adds, that the President and
Secretary of State both say that Gen.
Prim come time ago made a proposition
to Gen. Sckles, offering the colonies to
the United States for 5000, 000,0 900. 1t
was declined at once on our part, and de-
clared to be wholly out of the question.
About the time that the Duke of Savoy
was starting from Florence to assume the
throne, and shortly before Gen. Prim
was sssassina:ed, a confidential friend of
Amadeus and the Spanish regency ar
rived in New York as bearer of PROPOSE
lions of settlement to the Cuban patriots
on the part of the new Spanish regime
These propositions were published at the
time. They included provincial auton.
Omy for Cuba and Porto Rico similar TO
the North America colonies of Great
Britain, full and complete amnesty for
the revOlutiOnist leaders and defenders,
representation of Cuba and Porto Rico in
the Spanish Cortes, the abolition of sla-
very and the establishment of manhood
suffrage with free press and the right
of discussion and petition, native Cubans
and Porto Ricans to have equal rights in
official positions with their Spanish fel-
low citizens These terms were sub
mitted informally by an American Sena-
tor to Senior Albania, but were rejected,
Albania declaring it was too late. The
atrocities of the Spanish war had been SO
terrible that the Cubans and their oppres-
sors could not live together. Pending
these negotiations the idea of selling the
colonies was again mooted, but no en-
couragement was afforded on our side.
Shortly after the coronation of Anna
deus, Sickles was again approached on
the subject. He listened, considered, and
the result is the proposed sale at one
hundred millions of dollars. President
Grant said yesterday that the Admins
tration had no intention TO consider it,
believing that, even if desirable, the Sen
ate could not be induced to accept such
treaty, and it was altogether unwise to
ask Congress for appropriations to carry
out the proposition in the face of the
fact that obtaining fifteen hundred thous-
and dollars for the st. Domingo purchase
is in considerable doubt.

Democratic Caucus-NO Chance for
Buffers Bill
The Democratic members of the House
held caucus this evening. Resolutions
were adopted in caucus to agree to
vote for the Senate joint resolution for a
committee to investigate affairs in the
South with a modification that the COM
mittee shall not report before next De-
cember. If the joint resolution shall not
be SO amended by the House the Demo
Gratis will be free to vote for or against it
in its original form.
There seems to be an increasing dispo-
sition on the part of the Republicans to
adjourn next week, the Democrats being
sure to help them in so doing.
Its doubtful whether the Judiciary Com
mittee viii report bill this session for
the protection of life and property in the
late insurrectionary States. There is no
prospec. Of the passage of Buffers bill.

MORE ILLICIT DTSTILLING.
Two Men Tried and Put in Jail

Two Men Tried and Put In Jail.
On last Monday, as We have already
stated, party of ten or q dozen men left
the city for the northern portion of his
district on the north side of the river.
They returned to the city Thursday. They
destroyed the distillery as illicit, belong
ing to Hardy Caldwell, a number of mash
tubs, ETC. They also destroyed the distil-
lery and fixures of John Mungle, near
Hartsville, in Trousdale county. Several
other neighborhoods were visited, but
these, we believe, constitute the extent Of
Illicit suppression as the results of the ex-
petition Messrs. Caldwell and Mungle
were both arrested and brought to the city,
and were yesterday arraigned before United
States Commissioners Goodwin and Noah
to answer the charges preferred against
them There were two warrants against
Mr.. MungIe, charging him with a double
violation Of the revenue laws provided for
the suppression OF illicit distilleries, ETC.
One of the warrants charged him with be-
iugengaged in and carrying on the business
of Illicit distilling in contrsven ton of law.
On this charge, sf,er hearing of the case
he was required to give bonds In the sum
of 81, 500 for his appearance before the Uni
ted StatesCourt. The other warrant charged
him with having seereted and conveyed
away quantities Of whisky without the
payment of taxes and the proper stamps
being affixed On this charge he was re-
CURED to give bond for $500 for his appear
Hardy Caldwell was charged with general
illicit distilling, aud after hearing was re-
quired to give bond of $4,000 for his ap-
pearance for further trial on the
Path inst. The bonds of each, there
fore, amounted to 81, 900. Not being
able to give the bonds, in default they
were both incarcerated in the David
son comfy jail where they now are.
We are informed that the instructions to
supervisors and deputies, from Washington
are peremptory that all distilleries of an
Illicit character be broken up, and that
where the regulations are not strictly car
ried out, the property forfeited to the
Government, and that when it cannot be
carried away and disposed Of it be destroy
ed on the spot. We are also told that it
is the expressed desire Of distillers who do
comply with the regulations and carry on
a legitimate business that every one OF
these Illicit distilleries and stills be broken
uD or destroyed by whatever means the
Government properly possesses, as infict-
ing great damage to them in the prosecu-
ton Of their business.

CONCORD, March 17.-An except five
small towns in Coos County have been
heard from, and estimating those towns
by last years vote, Weston fails of cleo
ton by the people by 152 votes.
The Statesman says of the House: Our
list of Representatives chosen contains
the names of 16l Republicans and 156
Democrats. The towns to be heard from
will give, we think, 2 Republicans and II
Democrats. If 50, the House will stand
1853 Republicans to lot Democrats.
The Senate stands five Republicans, six
Democrats. In the 1st district there is
no choice. In the 10;h and 18th districts
the vote is so close that the official count
is necessary TO decide.
The three Democratic Congressman are
elected beyond doubt.
