own views Of that subject entirely:

matter Of difference bctvcen hinrse!f and

ever received any dividends from Ames ;
shows that tkestwelve hundred dollars he
deposited in bank CORES ponding to the
amount claimed by Ames to have been
paid to him the day before, was received
$1,000 as 4 present from Mr.. George
w Nesbit, of New York (since de-
ceasod). 5000 from his father in law, Mr.
Matthews; and Mr.. Colfax brings for
ward to substantiate this testimony, Mr..
Matthews and his SISTER, who werc pres
ent on the morning Mr.. Colfax received
the thousand dollars in letter. On the
contrary, Mr.. Ames brings forward his
little nlemorandum book, about which
so much mention has been made. and
polnts 10 three entnesof funds paid Mr..
Colfax, among them being the 81, 200
over which the dispute i made.
Mr.. Coifax's testimony is now in, and
the public are at liberty to, make M
their judgment. 1t should be rcmem-
bered that early in the session Mr.. Ames
said that he did dnot remember ever hav-
ing paid Mr. Colfax any dividends.

erous memory. On the ore side. then,
we have the testimony of convicted
briber and purjurer, and on the other a
man whose private and public character
have been singularly above reproach
supported by two persons of cqua
crediblity. We do not hesitate to rang:

and our 10 ESQ miles of railway, combine
their energies and their influence in such
ways as few days of consultation would
enable them to devise, they could hasten
the opening of the St. Lawrence route

used would add 25 per cent to the pro-

consequence, a proportionate figure to

We are Informed That the earnings of
some OF these great lines have fallen off
during the past year, and this with a
full crop and about all the business thav

Hence, there Is an immediate necessity
for the managers of these roads to con-
fer together as to the best meaDs by

given to advance the opening, in the
shortest lime possible of the St. Law

sPAEN AND CUBA.

Tha selection of Emelio Castillo, the
magnificent orator and great republican
statesman CT Spain, to be Minister oi
Foreign Affairs, is one of the most hope
ful as well as one of the most gratifying
indications. that the Republic of SIsaia
will be introduced to the nations Of ;he
world in a manner calculated to inspire
their confidence and secure their res
pect.s Castelar, is statesman of the
best modern school A scholar of the
first ranl, he brings to the study of ex
rer.nIental politics, the ripe knowledge
to be derived from exhaustive reflec,
ton upon the rise, the growth, and the
decadence OF governments, and influence
of race, climate and education upon
forms of administration. As diplomat,
he will exhibit the simplicity of conduct
natural to 4 politician who is in his heart
and head democrat, and will bring to
the expression of his convictions the
splendid courtesy Of the educated Span
lard and the eloquencc AMI polish of the
man of letters
What the Uuited States has most to
hope FOR from his elevation, is a solution
Of the Cuban problem 1t was he who
presented the first resolution after the
coronation Of Amadeus for the..abolition
Of slavery in the island. 1t was he who
compelled the Cortes to adopt the edict
of abolition. and although it meyer has
gone into practical effect, lacking the
Kings signature, much Of its moral
force was utilized into the reforms in
Porto Rico, where gradual manumission
is now instituted.
If the republic of Spain endures
there must be an immediate change of
Spanish policy in Cuba. What the out
came Of that change shall be, rests prob
ably with the United States to say. The
first step is the extinction of the aystem
Of hutchery which has prevailed there
for five years, and which has sacrificed

the fairest spots of her soil. With the
removal of the volunteers will come the
proclamation Of the republic; then the
abolition of slavery. J hat will be the
moment for Cuba and the United States
to act conformity. The finances of the
republic of Spain are by no means in a
prosperous condition. The $62, 900, 900
expended upon Cuba last year would lie
a significant item in this years budget

Spain lies not in the retention of Cuba.
The island is a natural belonging to the

very acceptable in view Of the condition
of the Spanish purse. The best inter
est of all parties concerned would best be
served by prompt and honorable bar
