weakened and destroyed by reason Of an
extension of territory, may possibly be adj
judged an attempt to encourage hope and
faith in the new speculative settlement of
SANTANA Bay but we prefer to regard it as an
evidence OF the enthusiasm Of the President
in the cause of republican government We
believe, however, that the wise policy of the
United States is to foster the establishment of
independent republics in all the outlying
territory where the people are prepared for
the change, and to resist rather than to court
annexation. We have hoped that President
Grant would be the firm advocate Of such
policy in his second term Of Office, and that
the influence of our government would do
much to establish the independence Of Cuba,
and, perhaps within four years would adj
vance materially the prospect Of a Canadian
republic. The friendly alliance of such neigh
bors would be of greater value to us as an
element Of power than their annexation to our
own territory. But as President Grant now
casts off all thought of acquisition of territory
unless previously demanded by the people,
nothing remains for him but to foster the
establishment of independent republics if he
would aid the cause of free government and
hence we may consistently interpret his Ian
guage as hopeful for the future of the strug-
Cling Cubans. Four years have passed since
they stood, as they now stand, in arms against
those who denied them government by the
people through their chosen representatives, 4"
and yet the guiding STAR Of republcanism
has not led them out of their troubles. In

How Ling the civilized governments
Of the world propose to allow the Span
ish authorities in Cuba to commit afro
cities hike the massacre of the Virgin
ius prisoners, it is impossible to say,
but it does seem as if the time had ar
rived when common humanity demand
ed that some action should be taken to
put stop to them. We trust that the
President and Congress will as soon as
possible, inaugurate policy that by
it's recognition of the Cubans as bellig
erents at least, will force the Spanish au
thorities to observe the laws of civil
lied warfare.
We are not sure, however, that the
path Of the Federal Government to-
ward the adoption of such policy is
perfectly clear one, for it is possible
the Spanish authorities when remon-
strated with by General Sickles, the
American Minister, may refer him to
the cases of Captain Jack, Captain
Wirzs, and Mrs. Surratt, who were all
tried by military commissions and hung.
What similarity, if any there is in the
otienses committed or alleged to have
been committed by the victims Of Span
ish barharity and those OF American
barharity. we know not, but still we

BETTEIs TIMES IN GEOIsGIA.

The Augusta papers are happy be-
cause the fourth OF November has
passed without inficting any injury
upon the business of the city. The
fourth of November has been looked
forward to with great dread in Augusta
by merchants and others. because of
the very large amonnt of their drafts
falling due on that day-drafts given
mainly by planters for the purchase Of
provisions, stock. fertilizers, and &C.,
accepted by merchants.
The Chronicle and Sentinel says
"Well, the dreaded fourth has
| passed, and we are glad to be able to
announce that the many forebodings
of the day were far from being real
lied. Inquiry among the banks and
| banking houses yesterday afternoon,
by our reporter, developed the fact
that nearly ere,:y dollar Of acareho4se
paper maturing during the day had
| been met promptly acih currency.
In only a very few instances was
| further accommodation asked for
or extended. The cotton factors
came promptly to time and sub
stituted greenbacks for the ac-
ceptances held by banks and mer-
| chants. From all accounts the pay
ments made during the morning must
have aggregated nearly half & million
of dollars When we reflect that this
large amount of currency was paid
during period of unprecented finan-
cial stringency-when trade and com
merce were partially paralyzed by the
panic, and tie money centres of the
country were doing business upon GER
titled eheoks-we cannot too greatly
admire the ionar, the honesty and the
pluck displayed by planters and fac:
tors. When the planters discovered
what a responsibility rested upon
them, they came forward and dis
charged their whole duty nobly. Theil
cotton was promptly shipped to mar
ket and .nough sold to meet theil
drafts. .he factors, TOO, strained
every nerve to maintain their credit
unimpaired, and were busy for weeks
making preparations for yesterday -
They have both weathered the storm
and we can hope now for better bust
ness and ON easier money market.

The NEW PARTY.

1t is already pretty we'll known says
the New York Evening Post that the
'new party in Ohio was effectually
squeezed to death between the old
parties. Its vote was considerably
less than that on the temperance
ticket and its vote in Allen
county, where it was born, was
even less than was at first reported,
that is to say, about sixty. But the
most significant fact is that nearly one
half of its Whole vote in the State came
from Cincinnati, the home of the only
newspaper of any influence that sup
ported it. Its returns decrease every
time we hear from Ohio.

Us1E ssDvaN AND THE NEGRO.


ment towards the Indians is, to say
the least of it. contradictory one. At
one time it would seem that Indians
have some rights that the Government
is bound to respect, and at either tunes
it does not seem SO. In the year 1866,
Congress agreed to give the Choctaw
Indians $500. 900 for the strip OF conn
try known rs the LEASED District,
provided the Choctaws would within
two wears adopt into the nation and
make citizens of about 5000 negroes
formerly their slaves, and give to each
Individual negro forty acres of land.
But neither the money promised nor
the adoption of the Howard Amend
ment declaring all persons born in the
United States to be citizens of the
State wherein they reside, could pre-
vail upon the Choctaws to disregard
their rights of property and their
preiudices of race, if not of color, so
far as to admit their negro slaves to
the rights of citizenship. And, if we
are correctly informed, the Indians III
the everglades of Florida also continue
to this day to disregard the Constitu-
tional provision in regard to involun-
tary servitude.
The time allowed by Congress ior
the Choctaws to accept the benefits
of it's legislation in their behalf has
long ago passed without action having
been taken, but from council to
council the Government has extended
the time.
The question now arises what will
the Government do in the premises
The Government that can hang Cap
tain Jack by Military Commission
would seem to have ample power to
meet any emergency.
But as the Richmond Dispatch says
''this bit of history has another phase
that is interesting We see that Con-
gress has offered to buy the consent of
the Choctaws to the enfranchisement
of the negro as a voter and equal.
Yet no such consideration was shown
to the white man of tn, South. He
was not asked anything; but the re-
construction measures gave the negro
directly all that the Choctaws are
asked to give him. Nay, all that they
were offered 1890, ,O0O) to give him,
except the forty acres of land.
"This is we'll worth the attention of
the nation. The negro is superior to
thc white man, and the Indian also,
an The estimation of Congress. Think
on if "
