Cuban Affairs = Didwell's Impriso,-

Cubsn Affairs Bidwell's Imprison-
ment-Insurgent Movements. "a
The special TELEGRAM advices which we pub
hsh to-day in reference to the imprisonment at
Havana of Bidwell, one of the parties accused
OF the recent forgeries upon the Bank of
England. are very interesting, touching the
jurisdiction of the island authorities in this
matter. 1t appears that Bidwen was arrested
at the request of the British government ON
the superstition that he is q British subject
but it is represented that he is citizen of the
United States, native of Indiana, and that
his arrest in Cuba is not justified by any
extradition treaty with England nor by any
other authority, except that of the Captain
General, whose will over the island is the
supreme law. II it can be established that
his case certainly calls for the interven-
ton of Mr.. Secretary Fish. The prisoner,
it seems, desires transfer to New York,
which is perfectly natural but we suspect
that the international difficulties suggested
touching his detention in Cuba will not mate
rally improve his chances of escape.
Through private advices from Remedies it
is reported that part of the Spanish Cadiz
battalion had gone over to the insurgents, in
recent engagement on the other side of Old
Trocha, between the Spaniards and the insur-
gent forces of Agramonte. In this engage
ment it is further reported, Agramonte cap
tured sixty Spanish soldiers, summarily exc
cuted ffty-nine of them, under the law Of
retaliation, and sent the one man left back
with the message to the Spanish camp that,
as they, monarchists or republicans, gave no
quarter, no quarter would be given them in
return. And SO, it appears, this Cuban war Of
determination goes on.
There can be no doubt that the insurgents
are being strengthened in arms and men and
are gaining ground, and as the season is close
at hand which is favorable to the Cubans in
being deadly to the Spaniards in the field, the
opinion of General Grant that Cuban indie
pendence will be established before the expi-
ration Of the present year, we are strongly
inclined to believe will be made good. The
Carlists in Spain, without the slightest inten-
ton or suspicion in this direction, are work
ing for the Cubans, and it will only be another
addition to the many remarkable events Of the
last ten years if the efforts of those old Span
ish Bourbons in behalf of "the divine rights
of kings" shall result in securing the divine
rights of a struggling people General Cebal-
los, Commander-in-C Chief of the Spanish
forces in Cuba has been wa ara specallv
informed, removed under orders from Madrid,
and is at Havana awaiting an opportunity to
report to the home government. His threat
to shoot the HERALD Commissioner as spy
is said to have been the exciting cause of his
official trouble. The Cuban people are
anxious concerning O'Kellys safety, having
had themselves personal experiences Of the
sort of regime which the Spanish volunteers
exercise in the island.

We have noticed on several occasions the
combinations of farmers, merchants and
traders in the West, under different organiza-
tions and names, to protect and promote their
interests. Their principal object is to resist
or make war on the railroad corporations in
order to bring down the high rates for carrying
freight to market The farmers cannot get
their produce to market with the present rail-
road freight charges. But they have other
complaints and are moving throughout the
Western States with great vigor and much
unanimity to bring their grievances before the
country and government. The Farmers Con-
vention, held at Topeka, Kansas, this week,
seems to have been an important gathering.
It has recommended the farmers all over the
country to become members of some local
clubs, and has made permanent State organ
ization, to be known as ''The Farmers Co
operative Association" At the same time we
learn by despatch from Peoria, Ill, that the
farmers in that section are organizing for war
against the railroads. A meeting was held
there, permanent organization effected and
feeling of earnestness and determination
manifested. 1t is probable this general move
ment will have considerable influence on the
political affairs and parties in the country
hereafter. The active and aspiring politicians
are not likely to neglect the opportunity it
will afford them. The railroad corporations
are powerful, but the people may prove
stronger than they in this contest
CONNECTICUT ELECTIoN.-The annual State
election in Connecticut takes place on
Monday, April Z. The campaign has ex-
hibited no animation whatever, and had it
not been for little disruption in the repub-
ican ranks the fact that an election was to be
held at all would scarcely have been known
outside the limits Of the State. At the State
election last Spring the republican candidate
for Governor was elected by over one thou
sand majority, Grant majority last Fall being
4,75S. At the Spring election 1,549 votes were
cast for the temperance candidate for Gov
ernor and 800 for the labor reform candidate.
The Congressional districts all went republi-
can in 1871, with the exception Of the Fourth
district which elected w. II. Barnum, demo-
crat, by 1,076 majority. The following is O list
ofcandidates of the principal parties to be voted

we may take it for granted that, while it

insult and regarded by them as justification
inhabitants of Porto Rico into open revolt.
The insult to Cuba is plain and unqualified,
and Porto Rico is told that if she will have
emancipation she must pay for the privi-
lege and abide by all the consequences. 1t was
not so that we emancipated the slaves of the
South; and the present chiefs of the Spanish
Republic ought to have benefited somewhat
more from the lessons and experience of the
past.
We regret that we cannot write more ap-
provingly Of the young Spanish Republic. In
Spain, quite as much as in France, the hopes
Of European republicans are centred.
France, since the close Of the war, has been
in condition in which it has been difficult
for the national sentiment to find expression.
She has been burdened with heavy debt and
restrained by the presence of the exacting and
relentless invader. What is to be her future
form of government we cannot yet tell. We
know that the Republic exists, and that, as
President Theirs is forced, from time to time,
TO remind the monarchists, no other form of
government is now possible. Not until the
indemnity is paid and the invader gone and
France has had o fresh opportunity
to speak out her thoughts and wishes
at the ballot-box shall we know
whether France will again bow the knee to the
crowned monarch or maintain her place in the
ranks of free and selfgoverning nations. We
wait for France; but we look upon the Re
public in Spain as fact. Free to decide after
the abdication of Amadeus, and unaffected by
any outside influences the Cortes declared in
favor of republican institutions. In spite of
Carlist risings in the North, in spite Of the
intrigues of the monarchical factions, and

We are very glad TO learn
that in the duel which occurred
between Ranc an De Cassagnac
last MOndy monrning, the lat
ter gentleman was seriously
wonded; and we hope the
wound will prove serious
enough to keep his temper un>
der proper subsection hereafter.
Paul De Cassagnac, though
only thirty-two years of age,
has fought more duels than
any living journalists. Not
satisfied with being an ardent
BOnapartist himself, he is ap-
pearently deSirous of convert
ing everybody else to the same
faith, and moreover, constitutes
himself the especial champion
of the Bonaparte dynasty.
Those whom he cannot convert
with his pen, he is ready, on
very small provocatiOn, to per-
fOrate with his bullet or his
sword. Ranc, being an avowed
communist, became the object
of De Cassagnac's dispIeasure
and was compelled to fight.
The result of the meeting will
be highly gratifying to every
one except the party who got
the heaviest DOSE Missouri

the Walworth case is that "the
woman who could permit any
sense of personal wrong to in
duce her to teach her children
to hate their father or to throw
any hindrance in the way of
their obeying the divine COM
mand to honor him-nay, the
woman who should neglect to
teach her children to love their
father on earth, because this is
required of them by their Faith
er in Heaven, is a bad wife, a
bad mother, a very bad Christ
ian, and a woman one would
not want to know"
