The New CAPTAIN GENERAL IN CUBA.-
General Pieltain, the new Captain General of
Cuba, has arrived at Havana. The scene
which attended his reception is described in
our telegram report. There was the usual
turn out of government officials and the
people, but no popular demonstration Of
citizen delight, not even of loyalty. Silence
prevailed to On ominous degree. There was
not cheer for Spain. The Executive Chief
made assumption of his authority in the
usual style of official courtesy. He addressed
the representatives Of the different divisions
of Spanish power, and was intensely Spanish
as a matter of course-in his utterances The
colonial system must be preserved. General
Pieltain appears to have more confidence in
the Cuban volunteers as an instrument cal
culated to ensure this realization than in any
other of the Spanish insular forces Penitent
insurgents win be absolved and restored to
he bosom Of the Spanish family, and the
General twill be able to finish the rebellion
with the aid of the loyalists." So says General
Pieltain.

The Approaching Conference OF the
Evangelical Alliance.

II is now, we believe, we'll understood that
in the coming Autumn the Protestant Evan
gelical Alliance, whose notifications are world
wide, will hold their annual conference in New
York. Some two years ago, as we understand.
preliminary arrangements were made for this
conference; but the idea was abandoned in
consequence of the war which broke out be-
tween France and Germany. Now that tbs
nations are once more at peace the idea has
been revived, and there is reasonable pre-
sumption that New York will be the chosen
seat Of the grandest ecclesiastical conference
which has been held in modern times, not even
excepting the late Ecumenical Council at Rome.
The meeting which was held on Sunday even
ing last, in ST. Paups Methodist Episcopal
Church, shows that the people of New
York are not Indifferent to the compliment
which is about to be paid to them and
to the great and growing Empire City Of the
Western World. The Evangelical Alliance
honors itself in honoring New York. On the
occasion all the Protestant churches of Europe,
lea will be represented, and we may rest as
sured that the Conference will embrace fair
representation of the ability and learning and
piety Of the Protestant world. New York will
no doubt give the religious sauans of the Old
World hearty welcome The Conference
will mark an epoch in the history of the city.
Such Conference ought to result in great
and lasting good. Let us hope that its DELHI
erations will have the effect of making an end
of the unseemly divisions Of the Protestant
world and Of fastening on that happy time
when there shall be but one fold, as we'll "a
one Lord, one faith, one baptism.

capital and energy to his country. He en-
phatically protests. however, against the
SANTANA Company being made "blind for
the eyes of his people and our people, while
the friends of President Grant drive in the
wedge of annexation. Minister Curiel, of the
Dominican Republic, has gone about
the country telling the people that the
United States army and navy would protect
them against the Haytians. Luperon informed
our correspondent that he was logged by
American Spies What do these things mean?
The threatening of friendly republic during
the inquiries by old Ben Wades commission
was denounced by Senator Sumner as q wholly
unjustifable usurpation of the prerogative of
war by President Grant It is now pertinent
to ask whether any secret pledges have been
made to the adventurous company of SANTANA
Bay or to the government of Baez that the
ships and soldiers of the United States should
protect oil parties in the bargain We are
well aware how easy it is to deny at the outset
that such things have been done; but his
tory now does not need to wait o
century before whisking away all the
chaff of affirmation and denial and
laying bare the solid fact. President Grant,
in the passage from his inaugural which we
have above referred to, said one thing which
looked like childish annoyance, namely,
that we might before long be glad
to purchase st. Domingo at a rate
much higher than that for which it
was first offered us by Barkis Baez. Was this
passage, after all, sly piece of sullen pro-
name, because of its novelty-the American
spy-be hanging on the footsteps of
Luperon and reporting to Washington, and
if Curiel has any foundation for his
promise Of American armed support, the
United States may certainly before long have
costly Doctors bill to pay for burning its
fingers in ST. Domingo. The project of an
nexation would then, indeed, appear to
have been abandoned only in its open
form, to be forced upon us through
actual embodiment with the Dominicans.
Whatever treatment the project may have met
in it's avowed form we can be certain that
general denunciaton will await the unveil-
ing Of any such underhand dishonor-
able and un- American means of attaining it.
The reading Of our correspondents pleasant
letter will disabuse the minds Of the impartial
Of any idea of linking the unruly elements of
the island with the United States. In the
manners, customs, commerce and morals of
the two revolutionary peoples will be found
all the arguments needed against the pet
project of annexation.

SUNDAY Rum IN BRooKLYN.-A pitched
battle took place between policemen and
roughs in the City of Churches on
Sunday last. With all the overwhelming
piety claimed by our friends across the river,
it seems as if organized gangs Of ruffians ara
permitted to hold sway in some districts there.
It is certainly disgraceful that at noon ON
Sunday, when people are supposed to be at
church, the third city in the Union should
be the scene of such an outrage The police
know very well those miscreants and their
haunts and yet no efforts are made worth
speaking of to punish them, except when one
of the force is injured in a fight like the one
in question. The origin of the ARRAY is, as
usual, to be traced to rum, which is INDUCED
in to greater extent perhaps on Sunday than
on any other day of the week. The police
would do great service in breaking up some
of those vile groggeries which disgrace New
York and Brooklyn. They are haunts Of
thieves and murderers, and many Of the crimes
that figure on the police calendar originate in
those disreputable dens. Their destruction
would exercise sanitary influence in the dis
tricts afflicted by them.

TAKE Your CHoIcE.-The brilliant pretender
to the throne of Spain, Don Carlos, in his in
terview with the HERALD correspondent, says:
s'You cannot make an omelet without breaking
the eggs" He thinks that rogues and muir
derers should be treated with lead and cold
steel, and proceeds to carry his theory into
practice. Our Indian pretenders and human
itarians do not agree with him. Their plan Of
dealing with assassins is to wrap them in
blankets hurl gas bags and plugs of tobacco
at them, and to fight only with weapons war
ranted not to kill Only slight difference of
opinion! Which is correct?

VISIT OF THE SHAH OF PERSIA TO EUROPE. -
A despatch from Teheran, Persia, dated on
Saturday last, says the Shah had left the cap
ital that day for Europe. The remark is
added that the whole population Aocked into
the streets to witness his departure, and that
His Majesty received a most touching farewell
from eighty thousand of his loyal subjects 1t
is evident from this that the Shah is popular
with his people, and that he leaves his Empire
feeling perfectly secure of his throne and
peace being maintained. This visit of the
Shah to Europe must be regarded as one of
the remarkable events of the age, and shows
the progress of liberal ideas in the most exclu-
sive countries of Asia. 1t would not be sur
prising if within few years both the Emperor
of China and the Mikado of Japan should be
tempted to take journey among the civilized
nations of the West. The Shah of Persia was
scarcely less exclusive and held hardly less
sacred than they until o short time ago. Truly,
the world is making wonderful progress in
iberalizing both the rulers and people OF all
nations in Asia as well as In Eurone.

Extremes Meet.

The Liverpool Mercury, in an editorial
notice Of Lord Derby's speech on future
English glory, makes the disheartening asser-
ton that though England has no lack Of mill
lionnaires, yet 'every nineteenth person among
us is pauper," and hundreds die yearly Of
starvation" From this it is easy to adopt the
Mercuys conclusion that such q nation sshas
not much to show that its progress is rather
towards increased vigor than towards decay"
and that the English boast of high civiliza-
ton is at least liable to be disputed. Nor is
it difficult by the light Of such facts to see
abundant motives for Britons Of the classes
born without gold spoons in their mouths
seeking on this side of the ocean homes where
labor is sure Of equitable reward, where every
man who chooses may become the owner of
land unencumbered by rent charges or any
feudal or seniorial exactions. A right to
acquire freehold estate in many-acred
farm in Western prairie by simply occupy
ing it is naturally more alluring than an
inheritance Of pauperism in England, with
the privilege of starvation or death in an
almshouse Therefore we conclude that till
the free lands Of America are occupied and
the ratio Of British pauperism is much re-
duced, we shall see no ebb in the tide of immi-
grafton which is bringing us valuable citizens
and at the same time transforming them from
ill-paid pauper subjects into Independent citi-
zen proprietOrs.

The Erie Investigation-The Duty Of
the Committee.

the Committee.
Some light was let into the operations of the
English spectators in Erie and Atlantic and
Great Western railroad stock yesterday by the
testimony Of Mr.. Crouch the agent of the
English stockholders before the Assembly
Investigating Committee Mr.. Crouch, who
was engaged in bringing about the famous
revolution which overthrow the usurping
power of Jay Gould in the Erie road, testified
that the object Of the English capitalists and
brokers, represented by Bischofsheim and
Goldschmidt, in issuing large amount of
money to get control of Erie, was in order that
they might consolidate Erie and Atlantic and
Great Western or make other ar
rangements by lease. or contract
for the purpose of raising the
value of their Atlantic and Great Western
stock. They made no denial of their object,
and Mr.. Crouch was only surprised that it
should be denied here. This is precisely the
plot which the American people have feared,
and against which they demand protection.
The English spectators, hoodwinked by sharp
practice into loading themselves with some
eighty millions of worthless Atlantic and
Great Western stock, are anxious to get back
their money. They seek to accomplish this
by fastening a bankrupt corporation on to the
Erie, which ought to be legitimately paying
road. If they succeed they are Indifferent as
to what may be the fate Of the Erie Railway
thereafter.
We published yesterday statement which
set forth the condition of the Atlantic and
Great Western Railroad The solicitor of the
Erie road denies the correctness of the figures.
Why does he not produce the books of the
Atlantic and Great Western Company and
disprove them? Why does not the Erie Com
pany produce its own books to show whether
it really earned the dividend recently paid
on its stock? These matters must be readily
susceptible Of proof, yet the committee has
and hos examined no accounts through the
medium of experts. What wonder that an
impression has gone abroad that the COM
mittee does not desire to be enlight-
ened on these important points There
is however, an easy solution of all
have denied any intention to make
the Erie road bear the burden of Atlantic and
Great Western for the benefit of foreign specu-
lators, or to run Erie in the interest of English
stock brokers. Let the committee take them
at their word, and make it legally incumbent
on them to carry out these professions in good
faith. In the interest of the American people,
we call upon the committee to report a law
which shall provide against the payment of
any future dividend by the Erie direction
unless the same has been fairly earned and is
in possession Of the company after the
necessary expenses of the road have been fully
paid, and which shall prohibit any consolida-
ton of the two roads, or any contract or lease
between them, unless with the consent of at
least two-thirds Of the bona .fde stockholders.
Such law is demanded in the interests of the
American people, and cannot be objected to
except by those who are in the interests of
English stock jobbers and spectators.

are constrained to admire something that
looks SO much like rugged patriotism.
They resemble greatly two characters in sue
cessful French play, 'Tricoche ct Cacolet.
This worthy pair are private detectives
joined in business but Trcoche is always
ready to tell people that Cacolet is an imbe-
cile, and Cacolet has no scruple to inform his
patrons that Tricoche is a fool Under the
eyes of the Tricoche Republic of St. Domingo
the SANTANA Bay Company, with heavy
purse, proposes to seek its fortune. With
such an inducement close at hand the Cacolet
Republic of Hayti will find it difficult to abstain
from putting little finger in the pie.
After finding out from the Dominican
authorities how pleased they we're to get some
ready money from the Americans and how
delighted they would be to get little more,
our correspondent sought and found the
revolutionary leader, Luperon, in Hayti.
This amiable gentleman was at the moment
preparing for raid upon his native
land with the purpose of overthrow
ing the power Of Baez and placing
barrier of armed Dominicans between his
country and annexation to America Cabml

fight This affecting sign of demoralization,

de has declared MS policy 10 be cOnsutu-
tional parliamentary government and decen-
tralization. In his general views and his COM
ments on the policy of other nations as well
as Of Spain he has shown thoughtful, dis
eliminating mind, and has given proof that
his twenty-five years of life have not been
idly spent.
The American people naturally sympathize
with the Spanish Republic; yet their sympathy
can only be given to government really free,
and to leaders who are capable of grasping the
grand idea OF popular sovereignty and honest
enough to accord its principles in good faith
to all classes of citizens. True republican
ism is brought into disrepute by spurious
republics whose freedom exists only in name.
Better O monarchy, better dictatorship, than
o government which, through ignorance or
insincerity, brings disgrace upon republican
institutions. If the Spanish people are true
to themselves; if they neither mistake license
for liberty nor deny to the Cubans those rights
which are inalienable, every American will
wish them God speed. But if the Spanish
nation is to be again torn by civil war and
distracted by change, it will be a grave matter
for the Spaniards to decide whether their
rights will be safer under o gallant soldier,
who has displayed courage and fortitude in
misfortune, and whose youth and candor hold
out good promise of sincerity, than they would
be under military dictator or under repe-
tition of the licentious rule Of Isabella H. In
this view of possible events the words Of Don
Carlos are full of interest and importance,
and will be closely studied and carefully
weighed on both sides of the Atlantic.

There is one thing that is becoming quite
conspicuous in the salary grab - business,
viz: Those Congressman who voted to steal
tn IS $4,000 per member are generally the ones
to return it; while those who voted against it
are, Tor the most part, putting it in their
pockets The act was so manifestly irregular,
not to say dishonest, that some atonement
must go with it. To vote for the measure and
fob the money too is rather more than most of
the members can stand And the way many
of them, who feel that they have character
to lose, rush into the public prints to parade
their virtue and Justify their course, shows
more plainly than any argument could, that
the act has aroused guilty conscience that
needs no accuser.
