Difficulty Between the United
States and Spain.
A special Washington dispatch

A special Washington dispatch of
a late date furnishes the following:
Official advices received by the
government recently indicate that we
are involved in no inconsiderable
difficulty with Spain, whose officials
in Cuba have for sometime shown an
utter indifference to the protection OF
the lives and property of American
citizens The Cuban volunteers there
have maltreated Americans and driven
them within a recent period out OF
Havana. This government aware OF
this, has repeatedly represented the
condition of affairs to the authorities
at Madrid, but without any other
result than promises Of early action
which were never fulfilled. As affairs
became so threatening at Havana that
the United States Consul General
telegraphed that American citizens
and officials needed the immediate
protection of the government. The
matter was brought to the attention
of the Cabinet, and an armed fleet Of
four or five vessels have been ordered
with all possible dispatch to Havana,
to be placed in immediate cOmmunl-
cation with Consul General Biddle.
The commanding officer has received
instructions in case the Cuban volun'
teers strike down the life and prop
erty of American citizens, to first
demand an apology and reparation.
If they are refused then he is
required to open his guns on the city
of Havana. The gnnboat Nipsic,
now at Pensacola, will leave, while
the Terror, at Key West, undergoing
repairs, has been ordered into COM
mission, to be dispatched at once to
Havana. Also the Kansas has been
ordered from the Brooklyn navy-yard
to the same destination with all pos
sible dispatch, while the Severn and
Natasket are already on their way
to the Cuban waters.
Admiral Lee, commanding the
Southern Atlantic squadron, is now
in Washington, but was active by
orders of the government in dispatch
ing his vessels, so as to be ready
for any emergency. Owing to the
rigid censorship over the telegraph
at Havana, but little is known here OF
the immediate events which have
compelled Consul General Biddle tC
appeal for assistance, but the condi-
ton of affairs with Spain, arising out
of the Hornet difficulty and the treat
ment of Americans in Cuba, is suffi.
GENTLY shown by the diplomatic cor
respondence to warrant the govern.
ment in the startling course it has
taken.

on consulting the book containing the
names of the persons represented, it
was found that the face identified by
the stranger was set down as Madam
Gratowski, which was an alias. She
was arrested on the charge of shoplift-
ing at the stores of several of our mer-
chants, and after trial was sent to Sing
Sing prison for three years and six
months. The stranger said the wO-
man was q native of his country, that
her name was Radetsky, and she
was the daughter of one of the first
families of the empire and what was
more, since her departure, having, by
the way, eloped, her farther died,
leaving her in immense fortune. Chief
Maloy and Capt. Hale both recollected
the woman well, and her general de-
.scription given by the stranger cores
ponded with their impressions exact
". These officials also assert that the
woman served out her time at Sing
Sing, but has been arrested within a
year, and is now at Sing Sing serving
out another term. The stranger made
memorandum of all that the Chief
and Capt. Hale said, and informed
those officers that he would make the
fact known to the Prince, who was
acquainted with the circumstances
connected with the case, and between
them an effort would be made to Sc
cure the pardon of Madame Radetsky

Matilda Heron.
The Sad Story of a Woman's Life.

The Sad Story OF q WOmans Life.
Matilda Heron, III the very greatest
brilliancy OF her career, BECAME fass
cinated with "a man who had gained
some reputation as a musician, a com
poser, and leader of an orchestra. II
was his music that won her. She
loved him and married him because
she loved him. He had other mo-
tives. 1t was not her talent, it was
not her personal appearance, it was
not her kind heart, or good reputa-
ton which attracted him. 1t was the
money she had earned and her ability
to earn more. 1t did not take long
for the loving but deceived wife to
discover this. Harsh things and sor2
rowful things are quickly forced upon
our comprehension in this world.
Matilda Heron no sooner became
convinced of this than she set about
to do what only her own generous,
but peculiar, nature could have sug-
gested. I" He married me for my
money! she said to her friends, "and
he shall have it, She at once pro-
eeeded to make over to him in. legal
form her house, her wardrobe, her
diamonds, everything of value which
she had in the world. 1t was in vain
that her friends attempted to dis
suade her from course so absurd
| from utilitarian point OF view. She
was obstinate in her purpose, and
completed the sacrifice by paying this
man $500 a year rent for the very
house which she decided to him, and
which she had paid for with her own
hard earned money. Of this husband,
it sufficient indication of character
to say he accepted all this.
Matilda Heron had no heart for the
stage after this. She determined to
earn her living by teaching elocutiOn.
But pupils were few for the woman
who was now poor and obscure. She
removed from one residence to an
other trying to live by economy when
she could not work. 1t was of no use.
She was again forced to try the stage.
But grief had made sad havoc with
her spirits, time dreadful mroads up
on her attractions.
"You can never please the public
with that figure" said one manager
to her.
"The public will look only at the
heart and brains of Matilda Heron, y
she said confidently.
But her confidence was misplaced.
The public had found new idols and
neglected its old favorite. Then she
wrote new plays in which she hoped
to attract with novelty. One of them
it is remembered, was called "The
:. Belle of Somewhere
alt is an excellent play" said the
manager who produced it for her
but it needs a BELIEF
The next that is heard of this poor
broken-h hearted woman is the laugh,
ing stock of St. Louis audience, be-
cause of her misfortunes and the neg,
ligence of her manager. They speak
:. of her now as "crazy," and perhaps
.. they are right. She has certainly
had trials and grief enough to make
her so.-Er.

Liberia.

We clip the following from an ex-
change:
The British steamship Loando has
arrived in the Mefsey from the west
coast of Africa. Affairs at MonrOvia
had assumed a serious aspect. Some
time ago loan was negotiated in En-
gland for the purpose of constructing
railroads, SC, in Liberia, by which
the country could be opened up to
European trade and native enterprise.
When the Loando left Monrovia it
was currently reported that the Pres
ident and his son were in Jail, charged
with having misappropriated upward
of f40, 900 worth of Liberian bonds.
The following extracts from a mani
festo issued by the chiefs of the Exec
utive Committee will tend to show
the nature of the offense with which
the President is charged:
He has contracted a foreign loan,
contrary to the law made and provid-
ed; and without an act of appropria-
ton by the Legislature he has, with
his officers, been receiving the pro-
ceeds of that loan. He has ignored a
fundamental principle of the Consti-
tuition, making the executive, legisla-
tive and judicial departments Of gov
ernment distinct and separate. In
vading the courts of justice, he has
assumed to dictate the selection OF
jurors, thus interfering with the even
handed justice of the judiciary. Every
effort to induce him to desist from his
unconstitutional course has been un-
availing. Threats and entreaties have
been alike lost upon him. He has
turned a deaf ear to the remonstrances
from all the counties of the Republic
He has declared the people in a State
of rebellion, and attempted to escape
to foreign countries with the officers
of his government, clothed with full
power, in order to WELD in other
lands power which at home he had
employed in vain to crush the hber-
ties of the people" 1t is added thai
''the sovereign people did by thei1
resolution in the city of Monrovia
Joined to the resolutions from th'
other counties of the Republic, de
pose President E.. j. Roye from hi
high office of President of Liberia
and did decree that the government
shall be Professionally conducted by
chief executive committee of thre
members, until the arrival of % eonsti
tutional officer at the seat of govern
ment.n

of the sixth of December positively
demonstrates that the Republican par
ty can carry Louisiana against the
Custom house faction and Democracy
combined.
One particular point it is desirable
should be made clear. The whole po-
litical capital of the boilers is founded
on wanton mendacity. Assuming, by
virtue of occupancy OF federal posi-
tions, to be the direct representatives
of the national administration, they
have, with a persistency equaled only
by it's falsity, endeavored to instill in
the public minda belief that the State
administration is antagonistic thereto.
This is not true. The Republican
party, of which this committee is the
head, and to which the State officials
give allegiance, will, under all circum-
stances, stand firm and true with the
national Republican organization, and
guarantee Louisiana for Grant if it is
the expressed desire of the party, in
convention assembled, that he be re-
elected to the Presidency.
Finally, your Central Committee
regard the action of the members of
the Senate, in extra session convened
on the sixth of December, 1871, in
giving full recognition to the claims
of the colored people, of such impor-
tance as to justify the declaration that
our party has again been consolidated,
and that with measures of retrench-
ment and reform in all branches OF
the government which the party pro
poses to carry out, and your earnest
cooperation with this committee, de-
feat in 1872 is an utter impossibility.
Let there be no compromise with trea-
son, but, with the watchword, /" Eter-
nal vigilance is the price of liberty, y
emblazoned on your banners, press
on to a glorious triumph that will
overtop in benefits to humanity even
those past victories which have rem
dered our beloved Louisiana truly
I" the land of the free !"

Carpet Baggers.

What the Liberal alexandria Va.)
Citizen says of them:
We have heard much and read much,
within the last three years, about
i" Carpet Baggers," the Northern
Scum" the /" gaunt and cadaverous
Yankee" and the "bloated and be-
sotted German and we have taken a
deep interest in the matter, and made
a careful investigation in order to as
certain to certainty at what time,
and frola what country, and from
what cause this remarkable parsonage
originated, and why it is that 'sthe
Southern gentleman (?) elevated in
his instincts, and honored i'll his line
age, looks with inexpressible contempt
on the New England worshipper of
the Almighty dollar, and the pesti-
ferrous German scum, which pollutes
our land" Extract from Georgia
Democrat paper.
But for an eminent London pub
Usher, this interesting fact and record
of g elevated instinct and honored
lineage" would have been lost, lost
forever to the world!
But thanks to Mr.. John Camden,
who has made antiquarian works a
speciality, and has just published a
volume entitled-The original Lists

ligious Exiles, Political Rebels, Serv-
ing Men, Sold for Term OF Years.

they are of course authentic.

1000 "carpet baggers." In 1749 th'
ship Laura sailed with 135. In 1754

Mr.. Summers proposed anrendmen
to the Constitution, enforcing the One
Term principle, is presented in such
q form that fair discussion on its
merits, and not on personal eonsidera-
tions, can hardly be avoided, even
by the most perverse. He carefully
guards against any complication, on
account of Gen. Grants aspirations
for reelection, by providing that the
amendment shall not take effect till
1873. 1t being thus plainly impos-
sible to silence discussion by the able
argument that this is the mere trick
of Republican traitors to stab the
President, we may expect to see Mr..
| Cameron, Mr.. Conkling, and Mr.. Nye
show the folly ofthe Wing and Demo
cratic parties, of Andrew jackson,

worthless cited in Mr.. Summers learned

A ScOundrel Well Punished.

[From the Lafayette qnd.) Journal Dec. l2 J
From an eyewitness of the later
part of the transaction, we have some
particulars in relation to the attempted
outrage upon the person OF the little
daughter, seven years old, of Mr.. Bush,
the Marshal of Attica, on Friday at
ternoon. A young man named Hard
man, about twenty years old-a clerk
in the employ of Mr.. Yerkes, mer-
chant of the town-was the criminal:
The facts becoming known to Mrs
Yerkes, he at once discharged the ac-
cused, who packed his trunk and had
it taken to the depot. About the
time the train was due in the evening,
Mr.. Bush put in an appearance at the
depot. armed with good and sub
stantial horsewhip. Meeting the
Young man, he ordered him to take
off his coat and vest, which he did
without word, whereupon Mr.. Bush
| proceeded to lay on with all his might
with the whip, every stroke counting
and cutting through the shirt into the
flesh. Hardman bore the punishment
like an abject hound, never opening
his head nor uttering a complaint.
After becoming tired out, the enraged
farther rested and demanded to know
why the culprit had done what he did
to which the latter gave only incoher-
ent excuses. Mr.. Bush then took
second tilt at him with the whip,
which lasted until his strength was
again exhausted, the culprit taking it
as it as he done before at the end OF
which he was ordered to put on bis
coat and vest, which he did. The fel-
lows shirt was cut into thin shreds,
and the skin of his back was terribly
cut and mutilated. The farther's feel
incs again overcame himt and he or
dered the young man to take off ms
coat and vest the second time, which
he did in abject submission. The
swift and hard blows of the whip this
time overeame him, and he beloved
like child, and finally got down on
his knees to his tormentor, and beg
ged for mercy. After firing himself
out the third time, Mr.. Bush desisted.
and the young man was allowed t.
dress himself and go on about his bus
t mess. According to our informant
the well-merited punishment was wit,
, messed by quite number OF persons
| in the depot building, each and every
, one of whom decided that Mr.. b: hae
done just right.

A paper by Dir. Cheron on medical
art in relation to military organiza-
tions, gives some curious details in
regard to the period of growth in
the human being. The average num-
Der of Frenchman liable each year to
military service is 395, 700, but about
81 900 are exempt from various causes,
of which deficient height is one OF the
most frequent. This, DIR. Cheron
thinks, is not sufficient ground
for exemption, as the time required
to reach the full development of the
stature varies considerably in differ
ent races. The population of France
being composed of mixed races, pre-
sents great difference as regards
height, and the time of growth varies
greatly from one region to another,
according to the origin of the inhabi-
tants. The descendants of the abor-
ignal Gauls, occupying the central
zone of France, from the Alps to the
Atlantic, are remarkable for develop
ing so slowly that they scarcely reach
their full height before the age OF
twenty-six. The inhabitants OF the
soutll-sprung from Greeks, Romans
and Gauls attain their complete stat
ure at twenty-three years OF age. In
the northwest of France the descend
ants of Belgians, Northmen, Flemings
aud Germans, are not fully grown
until they reach the age of twenty
six. DR.. Cheron thinks the l8, 900 OF
$4,000 persons exempted yearly fol
deficient height might well pay theil
debt to the State, and quotes the
opinion of DR.. Lalrey, great author
ity in such matters, to the effect tha
a low stature is more often coinciden
with strong constitution than yer.
high one.

The correspondent of the London

The Shooting Of Another Insurgent.
The correspondent of the London
Daily Echo says:
CASTOR Cremieux was shot this
morning at Marseilles. The follow
ing details have reached me by tele-
graph: The condemned communist,
who was confined in the prison of st.
Pierre, was informed of his fate at
two o'clock. He appeared calm and
collected, and replied, firmly, +" | will
show you how one ought to die" He
then put his papers in order, dressed
himself, and got into the wagon that
was to conduct him to Fort St.
Nicholas. Arrived there, Cremieux
asked for few minutes to finish a
piece of poetry; having done this he
charged NJ. Vidal, the Jewish rabbi,
to beg NJ. Esquiros to complete a
drama he had begun. At seven
o'clock cart drove up, and he was
taken in it to the platform OF the
Pharo. The sentence was then read,
and Cremieux appeared to listen to
every word. After spending a few
minutes with his religious consoler,
he approached the fatal post. He
bore a kind of ring in his hand, with
which he intended to attach himself
to the post in the event of his courage
failing him, but he did not make use
of it. He prayed the soldiers to aim
at his heart, and not his face, as his
family desired his body. He then
took off his hat, coat and waistcoat,
undid his cravat, opened his shirt, land
standing firm and erect, with no band
age over his eyes, cried out: "Now,
tiSe! Vire la Repub''-. He fell
dead before he could finish the word.
The public numbered about five hun
dred. The body was afterward taken
by the family of the deceased to the
Jewish cemetery. The execution
passed off quietly.

they would have been jumped at by
the malcontents if they had been
made.
