SLAUGHTER OF TIE INNOCEETs,

The recent holocaust or barbarous sac
ritice Of eight innocent young Cubans for
playful freak Of youthful indiscretion,
| deserves the condemnation of all civilized
nations, and for which there will one dav
come to those who participated in it, a
terrible retribution. This dastardly act,
together with the sentencing a number of
others, companions of those executed, is
but the elimination Of the horrible brutal
ity Of set Of men who are not fit for any
other association than such as the can
nibalism of Africa invites. Itwould seem
that Spain is too weak to stay the bloody
work which is going on in Cuba, under
the rule of what are called the A;ql-tone9
volunteers Of Havana
Ever since the accession of the Young
prince OF Savoy to the Spanish monarchy.
there has been nothing done in the re-es-
Enlistment of order, either at home or in
the colonies Of that country. It has Eeen
intrigue, and cabal, plots and counter
plots, the able, audacious and unscrupu-
lous minority working to regain their
places to which their numbers do not
entitle them, and the majority being so
busily engaged in counteracting these
schemes, that they have no time to de-
vote to national concerns. The result in
Spain has been a gradual decline OF the
popularity Of the new dynasty, which at
first appeared to be heartily welcomed
by the people, until now the hopeful
prospect for the improvement Of the con-
dition Of Cuban affairs, which was pre-
sented under the administration of Prim,
has entirely disappeared. When any
sudden and unlookedfor catastrophe was
reported as happening to the volunteersor
soldiery engaged in the work of extermina-
ting the patriots,a spasmodic effort would
be made in the Cortes to end the work Of

PRACTICAL REFORM,

Senator John Lynch, than whom there
is no citizen of Louisiana more jealous Of
and vigilant for the public veal, yester-
day gave substantial evidence of his de-
sire for reform. While recognizing the pc
culiar necessity for an extra session of tie
Senate, it is his desire, and we believe the
equally earnest desire of the Republican
majority of that body, to add to the finan-
cial burdens of the State in the smallest
possible degree; and with this purpose in
view, Mr.. Lynch introduced the following
economic and patriotic proposition:
Resolrrd, That the Senators now in sea-
sion hereby remit all claims against the
State for mileage and per diem for this
extra session.
This is inaugurating the reform move
ment in practical way indeed, and fur
nishes all who have announced themselves
as reformers an opportunity to demon
strate the sincerity Of their professions.
Senator Lynch will not let his resolution
lie long uncalled for. and the Custom
house Democratic combination are cord.-
ally invited to assis: in passing it.

slaughter. 1t only ended in motion
and few speeches, and the strife went
on. The reward of all this weakness is
too plainly seen in the terrible proper
tons which the brutal insubordi-
nation of this barbaroUs horde of
volunteers is assuming. It is more
than two years since our minister,
under orders from the State department,
called the attention Of the Spanish gov
eminent to the threatening attitude of this
un6isciplined corps, and warned them,
III The most solemn manner, Of the dan
gers OF further neglect and indulgence.
| This warning has been entirely IN
needed, and it is now apparent that the
| Madrid government dare not undertake
any stringent measures against these
pnndonoroso colonists. They fear to give
orders which will be contemptuously dis
obeyed; and in the presen. condition Of
parties in Spain no faction dares risk de-
feat by even a criticism Of these rutiians,
whom all parties have praised and fiat
tered as representatives Of Spanish honor
This last atrocious act of these blood
thirsty hyenas may arouse spark of IL
dignation, and cause some action to be
taken looking to punishment and redress
but this is extremely doubtful. No ma
ton claiming to be civilized can cover
with its approval the orgie of blood
which has recently disgraced the Cuban
capital. The butchery of these eight
students, and the condemnation of forty
more TO long terms Of Imprisonment, for
a boyish and trifing piece of mischief
which terrorized press is not permitted
to disclose, is SO revolving TO the humanity
of tue present time, that one almost
doubts the boosted progress Of the world
IN enlightenment and civilization. It is
becoming serious question for the
world 20 consider whether it is consistent
with modern civilization to allow longer
imrunity to this gang Of murderers II
is useless to appeal to Spain. She can
not or will not do any thing with them.
Cuba is now nothing but vast battle
field divided between the patriots and
the Spanish volunteers. While these |
people are engaged in this strife between
themselves, it Is optional with our gov
eminent to recognize the facts or not,
bu. should these modern human butchers. |

doubtless will, an indiscri,ninate siaush-

Senator Ingraham made most IN
seemly exhibition Of himself yesterday OF
the floor of the Senate. Because Senator
Lewis manfully refused to be coerced into
treachery to his party and disgraceful
coalition with the Democrats he had
the audacity to charge upon him IN
worthy motives in supporting Mr.. Pinch

This was an indignity put upon the entire

called upon by the Senate for proofs Of
his dishonorable insinuation or full ard

General George A. Sheridan delivered {.

fate of the people if thev presume to exercise
