The Cuban Disc ussiOn In tho House.

There was much to interest the public In an
hours discussion on the Consular and Diplo-
matte Appropriation bill in the House of
Representatives yesterday. 1t will be
remembered that one Indiana democrat,
Holman, had already availed himself of an
amendment offered to that bill to lash himself
into terrific fury against Russia, which
Power he stigmatized as "a hoary-headed
despotism." Another Indiana democrat,
Voorhees,, took like opportunity yesterday,
in connection with the Havana Consulate, to
open the batteries of his eloquence against
Spain for the atrocious manner in which that
Power has been carrying on the war against
the Cuban patriots. Mr.. Garfield, of Ohio,
whose position as chairman Of the Committee
on Appropriations imposes on him prudent
reserve and gives significance to what he says,
deprecated all attempts to complcate this
country with Great Britain or Spain or Russia,
or any other nation, and deplored the con-
tingency of failure of the Alabama Treaty.
On the other hand, Mr.. Banks, of Massa-
chusetts, who is chairman of the Committee on
Foreign Affairs, and who, therefore, speaks
with still greater authority on such subjects,
gave quasi endorsement to Voorhees, bitter
speech, and promised to bring before the
House soon measure to which such discus
sion would be more appropriate, inasmuch as
it could be followed by votes. That is all
very well; but our public men should take
heed to the old adage, not to show your teeth
when you can't bite. Of what use is it to
declaim against Spain, when, as our Secretary
of the Navy acknowledges, we have not navy
on which we could rely to land five thousand
men on the Island of Cuba? Bravado, under
such circumstances, is simply ridiculous. Let
us be prepared for war before we provoke it.
The Consular and Diplomatic bill, on which
this discussion sprung up, was passed by the
House with amendments raising the Russian
to first class mission, the japanese to
a second class, and abolishing all the Cen.
trail American missions, except ono to Mica
ragua.

ANOTHER FATAL RAILROAD CASUALTY
We have to-day to chronicle another of those
terrible accidents which have been SO frequent
during the present year. A train on the Gin
cinnati and Louisville Short Line Railroad,
consisting Of four cars, conveying about
seventy passengers, had reached the Finck
bridge over the Ten Mile Creek at
about half-past eleven o'clock yesterday
morning, and the locomotive had just reached
the shore on the Cincinnati side when
the bridge gave way, and carriages and pas
sengers were precipitated into the water,
twenty-five feet below. According to oul
despatch there were two passengers killed
and about sixty wounded, whose names VIC
publish.

GENERAL SHERMAN AND THE POPE.-Gen-
eral Sherman had prolonged audience of the
Pope previous to his departure from Rome
He visited Cardinal Antonelli subsequently.
The General remained in conversation with
His Holiness during a space of one hour.
We may infer the conversation was of char
acter pleasing to both parties, as it is evident,
from the term of the interview, that Pho Mono
put aside all assumption Of state ceremony on
the occasion

for the family Of the workingman killed by

Minor, no doubt, was insane when he COM

his victim will produce good effect abroad.
1t will show that Americans, wherever they

to step across tho frontier. II, however, the
fall Of the present government is followed by
violence, or II the new government reveals
such weakness as shall justify the fear that
German interests are In peril, the heel OF the
invader will again be on the neck OF France
and the last state will be worse than the frst.
1t will gladden. the hearts of thousands to find
that France can change her form Of govern
ment without the accompanying horrors of
bloody revolution. Would that we could say
that such was the sure and certain prospect!
Bloodless or bloody, the crisis is at hand. We
are willing to hope and pray that our worst
fears may not be realized, and we shall rejoice
If in this fresh hour Of trial France shall 80
conduct herself as to disarm her foes and
command the respect Of her friends. Her
destinies are in her own hands. She can save
herself if she will.

BRITISH SEVERITY IN INDIA.-In pursuing
policy of stern severity toward rebellious
factions in India English officials pursue q
course which, to say the least of it, is ques-
tionable. Blowing mutinous subjects from the
cannon's mouth is terrible vengeance, well
calculated to inspire the rebelliously inclined
natives. The fruit Of such barbarity and the
teaching of such an example may have q
different effect upon the ignorant and fanatical
Indians than that they are intended to
inspire. The bloody taking off of Lord Mayo
points moral. The treatment of the three
hundred Kookas who rebelled, attacked
British fort and killed two English soldiers in
the encounter, was terribly severe. Forty OF
the rebels were executed sixteen of these
without the semblance of trial-while the
remainder of the party were hunted down like
wild beasts. The means of punishment en-
ployed in this instance does not justify the
wholesale slaughter of the Kookas, even il
they are rebellious. cruel and bloodthirsty.

The MONARCHIAL RESTORATION CONGRESS

The MONARCHIAL RESTORATION CONGRESS
IN ANTWERP is still in session, and attracting
q large assemblage Of strangers to the city.
The Bishop of Orleans and Dukes Of Rohan
and Tremoille arrived at the scene of council
yesterday. The Belgian people are out in
street caucus, with evident symptoms of the
approach Of a conflict between the forces Of
the democracy and the tumbeddown crowns.
Exciting results may ensue at any moment.

Mr. August Belmont ls chairman, and which ID
clothed with the authority to appoint the time
and place for the national party convent 4,
remains silent. We conclude, therefore, and
we think it may be safely assumed, that the
democrats expect great things of this Gin
clnnati Convention. We suspect that
there is an understanding between the
democratic leaders and Governor Gratx
Brown and Mr.. Carl Schurz, the Missouri
managers Of the anti-Grant republicans to
the effect that the Cincinnati Convention shall
nominate mixed ticket and platform accept
able to the democracy, and that the democrats
are to wait for it. Next, it is generally under
stood that the Democratic National Conven-
ton will be held back to take any advantages
that may be offered against the ticket or plat
form of the regular Republican Convention,
which meets at Philadelphia on the 9Th of
June
Here, then, is the joint stock opposition
programme for the defeat of General Grant
The labor reformers have taken the field, and
for fusion with the democrats; the demo-
Gratis are holding back for fusion with the
onos-0A" uV AOpuUAAOuuoy uuu tuC uAtI8 JcupcI~
ance and woman's rights men have organized
az guerilla party, to pick up all the loose
materials from the other parties in the contest,
not forgetting little trading and swapping
of horses on the way. Meanwhile the New
Hampshire election approaches, and the tenn
perance men and labor reformers, and Mr..
Summers special friends, all working to tho
same end, may give the State to the democrats
this year, as they did last year and they
may do the same good turn for the democracy
in Connecticut. Mr.. Sumner, Mr.. Schurz and
Mr.. Trumbull have been making speeches In
the Senate for this purpose, and it is said they
are working we'll among the New Hampshire
radicals of the old school of our earlier
Franklin; and ''our later Franklin" is
putting in his oar, too, right Justify in the
good work. Taking all these hostile move
ments and all these odds and ends together,
there is some prospect of a powerful coalition
and a desperate and most exciting struggle
for the defeat of General Grant; but for him
or against him, as things now appear, much
will depend upon the first gun from New
Hampshire.

and the stevedore OF the vessel.
THE LIST OF THE CARGO

testimony OF the stevedore, Bloomfield, there were
Oil which he mentioned. In the forehod were 227

I'D SAYS
Surprising, as 'Roi carotte' does, all
previous attempts made. here in the
same line, we must admit it ia one
OF the most wonderful pieces ever
presented in any theatre-full Of
Interest and humOr, while the scenery,
like kaleidoscope, ever SHIFT
OF ast0nfshment and admiration. The
PompeIian tablean cannot, indeed, be
columns and heaps of debris quickly
fade away under the influence. Of the
magic lamp, and the city, as Il was
before its fall, its houses gay with en-
blems, its streets alive with Its varied
mob Of pleasure seekers, rises up In
full light of midday before the audience:
The monkey tableau' Is also one Of
the oldest and strangest and most out
rageOusly ludicrous spe ctacles that can
be imagined. There are few courts in
the world Of reality, even IN gala
as that Of King Carrot. It Is imnos-
sible, indeed, to give a Just conception
Of the varied magnifcence Of the
