THE SPANISH REBELLION.
The proposed enrolment for military du Y
of all men between eighteen and forty-fiye
years of age, a fourth of whom are to be
conscripted for active service, is gaining ad-
vocates. The Diaro says:

Der, and have raised no means and done
nothing new to crush the rebellion. Let
us give fresh impulse to the winter cam
paign if we would advance on the road to
pacification of the island. The enemy
will gain time and territory, and we will
have cause to deplore our criminal vacila-

The Voz de Cuba shows that the pro-
longed resistance of Cartagena is draining
the resources of Spain and weakening her
power. CASTELAR, is not strong enough
now to oppose the exactions of foreign
governments, which nearly all tend to the
destruction of Cuba, and the longer his
declining power is respected and obeyed
in Cuba the greater is the probability that
the object of those foreign demands will
be accomplished.

A JUSTICE OF THE PEACE LOCKED
UP IN JAIL THROUGH MIsTAKB.-A
few evenings since several justices of the
peace of this city attended the Jail for the
purpose of holding q commission de luna
tico inquirendo in the case of colored
woman. the result of which was declara.
ton of sanity. After the adjournment Of
the commission they make slight lnspec-
ton of its cells. While visiting one Of
them in which q number of colored
women were confined, the Oldest justice
sighted servant woman that he had
known for some time and they forth
with struck up lively confab. The
other justices passed on, and when
about to leave the Jail some questioning
ensued concerning the absent party. A ma
jority of them were of the opinion that he
had gone out. When the justice finished
his conversation he went to the door and
found that it was locked. This situation
of affairs produced long and continued
laughter from all the inmates Of the cell,
the justice indulging therein to such an ex-
tent as to arouse the jailor, who, on
fastening to the cell to ascertain the cause
of the noise, found our hero, whom he
promptly released. Some of his friends
say he was locked up for an hour and o
half (; he claims half an hour. We give
him the benefit of the doubt.

u.....tee reported that tho Mayor seemed to un-
serstand the wants OF the three wards, and
promised to do all he could to secure the needed
sewers. They Ind not seen the Board OF Pubic
Works, as none OF the Commissioners could ne
found when the Committee visited the City
Hall.
Speeches we're made by ex-Ad.- Bateham

ceesity for bridges or tunnels south Of Harrison
street. The latter considered the sanlta1y con

AN ERRONEOUS IMPRESSION CORRECTED.

To the Editor Of The Chicago 1ti6unc:
Sra: An erroneous impression prevails to
como degree regarding the two-niu tax, many
thinking The modification Of the law BY the Cen
eral Assembly during its late session will not be
operative until the levy Of 1874. I herewith
hand you copy Of E letter this day received
from the Hon. G. E. Lippincott, State Auditor,
npon tho subject. He says: "The Auditor de-
te1mines rates to raise State. taxes-including
State echool-ta1-after the work OF the State
Board Of Equalization is completed.
THO State Board commences its
session in august, 1nd lasts about thirty days.
The State mites arc, therefore, computed some
time in October. The Auditor will compute rates
under tue act referred to Imeaning tho net Of the
late ses.ion Of tho General Assembly,, to raise
81 600 900 schooltax, it being the only law which
viii be in force in regard to said tax in October
:, The foregoing statement Of the Auditor settles
the matter. Yours respectfully, ~; -
