in Illinois. At the very first election after
the passage Of the law providing that any
woman, married or single, of the age oftwen-
ty-one years and upwards, and possessing the
qualifications prescribed for men, should be
eligible to any Office under the school laws
of that State, the women, it appears, have
availed themselves of their opportunities in the
most liberal manner and with considerable
success. They were on hand early at the
nominating conventions, and, where they
failed to get nominations through lack of
courtesy on the part of the stronger sex, they
exercised the sovereign right of boiling and
entered the field under their own colors,
bound for free fight and no favor, and with
no other platform than the very practical one,
"Let the best woman win" At the recent
election there were thirty-four ladies running
in thirty counties of Illinois for the office Of
county superintendent of schools. In Alex
ander and Mercer counties, two ladies ran
against each other; and in Cass county there
were three contesting the field, and the victor
not only defeated the other two, but two men
also, who had not gallantry enough to with
draw and let the three ladies have the field to
themselves Of the thirty-three candidates
in the field eleven were elected.

A STORY OF BLOOD.

The New York Journal Of Commerce, usu-
ally reliable and accurate in its statements,
furnishes the following facts respecting Spain
and the Cubans, from which it appears that
no less than forty thousand Cuban patriots
have been executed during the past five years:
Previously to the present struggle in Cuba
the revenues of the island, outside of munich
pal taxes, amounted to $26,0O0,00O year.
Of this about s2O,000,000 year were expend.
ed in Cuba for support of standing army of
10000 regulars and of fleet composed Of
about forty vessels, besides the support of
$4,000 Spanish officials employed in the civil
government of the island. These officials
werealways, and now are, Spauiards sent from
Spain to Cuba. The Cuban people were not
allowed to participate in the administration of
the affairs of the island, except in local mat
ters. The net revenues of Cuba to Spain, be-
fore the insurrection, were thus about SC, 6,OOO,-
900 year. This money was sent to Madrid.
The municipal taxes were large (about SlO,-
100000 year,, amounting in Havana alone
to 81, 100000.
In 1869 (after the conflict had been some
time in progress) the estimate of the expenses
of the Spanish government in Cuba was be-
tween s36,0OO,OOO and $37,000,000. Since
the campaign of1S68-9 opened, Spain has ab-
sorbed all the revenues of Cuba (besides Gre
ating bonded debt there amounting to $780,
000,0OO in carrying Oh the war against the

NEWS OF THE DAY.

The wages on the Memphis and Charles
ton railroad have been reduced 20 per cent.
For the first time since the war, the Dem
ocrats of Chattanooga, Tenn, carried the mu-
nicipal election last Friday.
Hon. A. H. Stephens is reported to have
declared for the immediate acquisition of
Cuba. He thinks if the Government would
take Cuba, it would produce good feeling be-
tween the North and South.
Tweed, the leading spirit Of the ring Of
swindling officials of New York city, has been
convicted on all the counts in the indictment
against him for defrauding the city treasury.
On Saturday he was sentenced to twelve years
in the county Jail and to pay fine of twelve
thousand dollars. Ingersoll, another of the
Tweed ring, has been committed to Jail in de-
fault of bail.
Miss Susan Caroline Godsey, known as
the Sleeping Beauty, died in Olin county,
Tennessee, on the 9th ultimo. She is said to
have slept for twenty-four years. In this time
she was hardly ever awake more than a few
minutes at time, and ate but little. Her
case mysti6ed the medical fraternity, who
could not account for it. She was thirty years
old when she died, and is pronounced very
beautiful woman,

insurgents There hos been no official record
submitted whereby the exact revenues can be
ascertained, but they have undoubtedly been
much less during the war than before. The
territory in the interior occupied by the In
surgent Cubans is of productive character,
and the sugar raised there has yielded no rev.
enue to the Spanish government. Many su-
gar plantations belonging to the insurgents
were seized and cultivated by the Spanish au.
thority, but by reason of corruption and in
competency the revenues from this source
were very small. 1t is charged and general
ly admitted that the affairs Of Cuba, as re-
CARDS the collection and disbursement of rev.
enues, have been outrageousy corrupt.
In 1869 the Cuban revolutionists are un-
derstood to have had $4,000 men in the field
at one time, but they were very poorly armed.
They were so determined, however, that in
stances were frequent in battle where men
who were armed simply with the machette
(cane-knife) burst throug the lines regardless
of their lives, in friendly race with each other
for the arms and ammunition of dead Span
iards. Since the war commenced nearly 49,
900 Cubans, according to the records, have
been executed by the Spaniards. How many
have been killed in battle is not ascertained
for want of record. The Spaniards killed
in battle and executed by the revolutionists
have amounted to about $4,000.
The volunteers, forming the bulk of the
Spanish army in Cuba, have proved utterly
uncomfortable. Itwas their open mutiny that
compelled the resignation Of Captain General
Dulce, and it is understood that they have die
tated the removal of several others. No
Captain General has yet felt that his life was
safe in the hands of his own troops. The
worst elements of Cuban society in the cities
was drawn upon for the volunteer force. The
chief officers, civil and military, are all drawn
from Spain, and are paid salaries amounting
to $4,000 in gold, a year, for Captain. Gen
eral, $4,000 year for district commander,
and so on. These volunteers hate the Span
ish soldiers, but are more intensely bitter
against the Cubans. They hate Americans,
too. The Cuban patriots love Americans.
They say they have fought four years and
half and the way for the United States to get
even with Spain now is to recognize the BEL
ligerent rights of the Cubans. This, they say,
would enable them to negotiate their bonds
and encourage privateering. Spain has pos.
session of every seaport and every fort on the
island. All the Cubans want is seaport, and
gunboat to hold it with, so that they can
protect their vessels in the act Of landing and
Afterwards
