THE FUssY BANTAM.

The reception of the news of the
agreement between Spain and the
United States in regard to the Virgin
ius, as we expected, has aroused a tre-
mendous feeling in Cuba. Added to
this the order from Madrid to imme-
diately surrender that vessel to the u.
s. has been followed by The resigna-
ton of Captain General Jovellar. Jo-
vellar says that he cannot carry out
the order in safety amidst the great
commotion among Cubaus. That ex-
citable people, used to bloodshed, hot
headed and semi.civilized, are expect
ed to want to dangle scalps on their
belts, but they will get over this if
only allowed to bluster awhile. We
would suggest that few Of the most
belligerant ones be transported up
here where they can get snuff or two
of our wintry blasts to cool their ar
dor, and il that should prove INSULT
cient, let them be ducked in some one
of our many goose ponds.
According to our dispatches yester.
day the gold gamblers caught the bait
and went after gudgeons, and reports
had members Of Congress running to
the President to know what he was
going to do with these naughty Cubans.
Let us keep cool and not get our feath-
ers too much ruffled over the fandan-
goes of that little bantam cock down
in the Caribbean Sea.

bloody deeds as do CASTELAR, and the
intelligent Republicans of Spain. II
We selze this occasion to strike ,at
them, we give direct aid and comfort
TO Ultramontane Popsry, to Don Carr
los, and the cruel Priesthood whA ara

rope. We do . deed In crushing OUT
the republic In Spain, under Its noble
President, which can only find its par
allel Of atrocity In the crushing out OF
the Roman republic by the so-called
French republic of 1S49. Heaven pre-
servo US from such infamy! / hope
wiser and worthier counsels will pre-
vail, and that tho only demand OF our
government upon Spain shall be the
speedy emancipation of the enslaved
In Cuba, and the rights and liberties
pertaining to citizens Of the Spanish
republic secured to the people Of all
classes In her dependencies. Believe
me always and truly thy friend,

In the caucus of Republican mem.
bers of the House upon the back pay
question, Butler, OF Mass, and Kasson,
of Iowa, locked horns according to re-
ports in = bitter personal controversy.
The keen, satirical blades of these gen.
tlemen made the fur fly until no little
row was kicked up. Finally about
three four.hs of the Republicans voted
in favor of the repeal OF the back sala.
ry bill. The opposition to it came
from the South chiefly and the seven
colorcd Republican members are re-
ported to have opposed it. The Re-
publican vote for it on its passage
came largely from the South. While
Republicans in their caucus voted thus
strongly for the repeal of the back sal
ary bill, the opposition caucus had a
strong fight over It resulting in four
Democrats Withdrawing from the eau
Gus when the balance went forward
and voted for the candidate for Speak.

And Of the Presidents Message II
says:
"The matter of most immediate In.
"tsrest, Of course, is that portion re-
"lstng to the Cuban question. The
"President's treatment Of this subject
"is highly commendable. He has
"pointed out the real cause Of the
"turmoil in that rich but unhappy
"island. II Is the system OF human
slavery which exists there"
"Grant believes that Cuba will nev.
Ter be at peace, and that Spain will
"never be able to assert its full au.
"thority In the island until slavery Il
"abolished. In this he is right, and 1,
"is : clear intimation that Spain OF

His ut,
