Now that the Quarrel in the New Jersey Legsla-
ture between the people of Paterson and the Erie
Railroad has been disposed of in the interest OF the
latter, the Jersey City Board OF Aldermen is pre-
pairing TO open the fight on behalf OF Jersey City.

The following is an epitome of his statement
The Erie Railway Company has paid into the trea-

nually In the shape of local taxation, while all the
other railway companies were exempt. We went
to Trenton lsst year, and addressed the members
Of the Legislature air-minded men for the pur-

said,

Great Meeting In madrid-HOw Dan "sacrI-

AMadrid correspondent writes, February 16:-
The great meeting of the Spanish Abolition
Society was held yesterday afternoon in the
Theatre de la Alhambra which was crowded to
it's utmost extent by most respectable audi
ence amongst whom were many ladies. The
stage served as platform.
General Sickles occupied the first box from
the stage. He was frequently alluded to by
the various speakers, and having been asked by
the President to speak he rose in his box and
addressed the meeting as follows
SPEECH OF GENERAL sIoKLEs.
Senoras Senores Uadies and Gentlemen):-I
give my most sine ere thanks to your worthy presl
dent for having invited me to say few words
and therefore it is hardly decorous in me to take
part. (Cries Of "Yesl yes" Speak" go onp'
and spplause.) came here as a soldter-an Ame-
rican soldier, with my family, to testify my
-namely, the sacred cause OF negro eman-
cipatioD. To this cause / have given my
life. CHEERS j know not your language well
enough TO express myself elegantly, perhaps not
with propriety; but to that sacred cause l have
given my body and my blood mi cteTpo mi sGngrel
-(cheers)-and now there is nothing left to me but
my crutches. (Holding them up midst terrific ap-
plause) These, too. should necessity ever again
require it, at the disposition OF the saYe-owners
"A la disposition de las esclaUistGs.)
He sat down amidst terrific applause and had
eventually torise and bow his acknowledgment
| to the audience ere they would 'be quiet.
| General Milans and many of the gentlemen OF
| the stage rushed forward and shook his hands
! Resolutions urging the Government to declare
| immediate and complete abolition, and to pre-
sent the first thing to the new Cortes q measur,
to this effect, were passed unanimously.
