The Madrid journals, which seem to know
more about il than the Spanish authorities In
Cuba themselves, deny that the insurge uts have
met with success in their recent perations aud
assert that the rebellion will soon be crushed
We have heard that story at intervals for sew
eral years past, but some how or other the
Spanish anaconda can't compass the insurgents
In such way As to successfully apply the pro-
cess OF serpentine compression. As much As
the Spanish volunteers affect to desplse the
half-eIOthed and half-stsrved insur gents, thew
seem unable to dispOssess them OF the east half
OF the island, which the latter have held from
the first, and 10 one will believe that the re-
bellion l. about to collapse until he sees the
former extend their lines in the direction Of the
revolutIOnists. The starving out process has
been tried and has proved failure. The spon-
tsneous nature OF the prOduc tons of the island
will enable the insurgents TO hold out for An
Indefinite period, and until the nsuntain wall
which divides the two parties Is scaled by An
overwhelming and irresistible force of Spanish
troops, the Republic Of Cuba" will virtually
exist In the eastern part of the island.
Bourbonism still hourishes in Delaware
MANY white men" have issued a call By baud
bills for a state convention to be held at Dover
on the 18th inst. This call Is in q single and
tremendously long sentence, 30 muddled and
involved that il is hard to tell Just what "msnv
white men" are driving at, but il looks As if it
might all be eomprehended in Nasby's conCen-
saton Of Bourbon doctrine, "D-n a nieger.v
We quote the beginning OF the call a. q sample:
t'An democrats of Delaware who are satisfied
that, since the new departure doctrine was
espouseS by the democrats OF the old free states

republican negro equalityism, Is played out as
q national party, are requested to meet at

there is none on sale anywhere. Cigars
arc manufactured by the Government,
and are sold only n. stores where moth
ing else is sold except postage stamps.
They are at fixed prices, the lowest cost

The hitter are about equal in quality to

three dollars per hundred. The single

Numerous inquiries have been made
OF us as to the probable precise location
Of the proposed New Street. That is a
matter entirely in the hands of the
Town Council and as to which We have
no information whatever. We do no,
suppose it to be the intention of any
one interested ia the movement to in.
jure or incommode any property owner
when the interests OF the public can be
otherwise equally subseryed. Where
private and public interests clash or in-
terfsrc, the form must, of course, give
way, but we are glad to say that in the
prsscut case we see no necessity for the
Saising Of any such ISSUE.

A VIRGINIA DUELIST,

In addition to the fact that Colonel r. w.
Hughes, the Republican candidate for Cow
ernor of Virginia is likely to fall twenty thou
sand votes short of the number necessary for
his election, it is now discovered that he is
disqualified from voting and ineligible to hold
office even if every vote in Virginia we're
given in his favor. The anti>duelling clause
in the new constitution prohibits from voting
or from holding any office of honor. trust or
profit, any person who has sent or accented
challenge or knowingly conveyed challenge
or aided or assisted in any manner in fighting
duel. An act of the legislature adopted on
the Goth of January, 1870, gave effect to this
constitutional provision. tits now discovered
that on the 18th of July, 1870. Colonel r.
w. Hughes, as a second for J. N. Clarkson.
was the bearer of challenge to Mr.. Ebert
Fowler for hostile meeting at Bristol. Ten
nessee. Fowler was at that time editor of the
Bristol Nrrs. and is known 10 the people of
this State as, afterwards. editor Of the B,.,7,r
Waterman. published at Union, Monroe
county. Colonel Glarkson 10 also we'll known
to c'tzens of the Kanawha Valley.
The full correspondence relating to the af
ta'r has heen resnrrected by a correspondent
OF the New York HernM and is published in
last Mondays issue of that paper tt estab
fishes beyond question Mr.. Hughes COMPLIES
'tv in the affair and his consequent disrran-
ch'sement and ineligibility to Office What
the administration partv in Virginia will do in
this dilemma is beyond conjecture. As the
election is to be held on the 4th of November
1t 's now too late to retire Mr. Hughes and
take up another candidate However. as he is
certain to he defeated and as the same fate
would inevitably befal any, person whom the
Radicals might put in his place, the fact of
his inelisibility need make no important
change in the campaign.
