The Murder Of the Cuban Patriots.


II Is sincerely to be hoped, in the interests Of
liberty, humanity and civilization, that the
Illegal seizure and strocious massacre of the
Cuban patriots on the yirginius will be the last
feather on the back of the sorely tried forbear-
ance Of our government, and will result In the
recognition by the United States OF the belli-
gerent rights Of the Cubans-rights that have
already been accorded by the South American
states. Our government, in the proper desire
to do its part In maintaining the comfy Of
nations, has gone to the utmost limits Of
forbeaTance towards the Spanish government
IN their long rrotracted and wholly unsuccess-
full efforts 10 put down the patriotic movement
in Cuba. The Spanish warfare upon the Gu
bans has throughout the contest been reproach
to civilization In Its devilish brutality and 1t
quite evident that Spain can never conquer
Cuba, u is about time the warfare" which
consists on the part OF the Spaniards in the bru
tai murder Of any hapless prisoners they may
take, should be stopped by other nations.

It is rather faot to ho commonly regretted that

opod In tho prouont Investigations should have

It Is not probable that Mr.. Brooks
was tho only nlombor Of Congress-, who
WAS corrupted with Credit AIobsller digldonds.
Wo know already that others havo enjoyed
profits from sohomo In Which tho Government
was dofraudod. Tho rolativo extent Of tho guilt

1tr. Brooks testi1os in his own behalf before
tho Credit Mobi1ior Committee that ho waB
not appointed Government Director until
October, 1867, and, In order to avoid entangle-
ment IN tho discordB OF the Board, did not take
tho oath Of office for ak months afterwards. Ho
accepted tho position ut sacrifice, for it pre-
vented him from owning Pacific Railroad stock,
and compelled him to transfer to hiH aon-in-law
contract for Credit h1obt1ior stock, to which ho
had become entitled in 1867, before ho was d
membor Of Congress. He has never, ho says, rc-
oeiTed any dividends OF any profits in any shape
from this transfer. Ills advances to Ala son-in-
Inv wore loan, payment OF which was atrictly
enforced. Ho Bays, in brief, "All havo dono
was, when not a member Of Congross, to accept
nn offer Durant mado to sell mo at par certain
sharoB Of Credit Mobllier stock, md when not

and repairs, 81,6s7, ,021; oxcoss Of rovonuo over

entire surplus royonuo from tho Eric Canal was
taken to pay the deficiency in tho receipts Of the
other canals, and that oven this was not
enough for tho purpose. 1t will DO aeen
also, that tho cost OF repairs and salaries for
theao canals was st,687,o81, when tho whole
gross revenue from them was but 100000.
This is no accidental result. It is equally as
favorable as tho results for the last ftoen years.
To keep an army Of officers employed, and to
give outcontractsfor repairs to partisan friends,
from ono million to million and half Of tho
surplus earnings Of tho Erie Canal aro taken an-

against tint papot, was, 1t appears, worry cloyor

tho Turkish loans carry 0 per cont interest on
their par value, and in aomo Of them portion Of
tho bonda arc paid OF by periodical drawings.
Tho circular stated that there would be no
moro Of these drawings and no moro
alnking fund, and that tho whole
OF tho Turkish loans would soon DO consolidated
into single stock, bearing only per cent in
teroat. Tho circular also stated that q tax was
to be loylod both OH tho foreign and domestic
holders Of the debt. OF oourae, the intention
was to purchase Turkish stock very largoly,
which would DO Buro to fall upon auch repre-.
Bontations from tho Government. The project
