THE SPANISH OUTRAGES.

The message Of the President leaves US
IN the dark respecting the details of agree
ment between our government and Spain
in reference to the capture Of the Viz
ginius and the subsequent execution of
some Of her passengers and crew. We are
assured, however, that the Cabinet Of
Madrid has recognized the justice of all
his demands, and made arrangements for
an immediate compliance Herewith. We
can not permit ourselves to suppose the
President has not asked for enough, how
ever much we may be in doubt as to the
ability Of Spain to enforce its engage
ments. The message informs US that
there is a strong feeling Of opposition to-
ward the republican government of
Spain felt by the Cuban slavehold-
ers, and we have evidence from
other sources that there is strong cur
rent Of feeling among the Cuban volun-
teers against executing the orders of the
home government, which do not square
with their deep seated prejudices against
the United States, while they obey with
alacrity and enforce with dispatch the
laws or pretended laws that protect them
in their hatred and are cited to justify
their unusual cruelty. Such Governors
as Burriel share in this feeling, and even
the Captain General appears to be under
the influence Of strong local prejudice and
bigoted feeling.
The President is no doubt quite cor
rect in ascribing the chief cause of the
difficulty to slavery, and we may conf

pliers attribute all the decliae of New Or
leans to ''the war" The war was destruc-
tive Of mahy interests, but it created
other interests Of even superior social
value. It liberated capital employed in
the purchase Of labor, but which is now
applied and expended in the encourage
ment of all the industries of our city and
country. Our laborers now cost nothing,
except their maintenance This they
deduct from their cwn earnings. The bal
ance OF these earnings was formerly ex-
pended for the purchase of additional
labor; now it is expended in goods, lands,
animals, buildings and professional
services. Why, then. with such enlarged
expenditures Of cotton and sugar money,
should not all our interests prosper? Take
case to contrast the past and present.
John Brown, colored man, made tor his
master, when slave, five bales of cotton,
which, at ante-war prices, brought two
hundred and fifty dollars. From this his
master deducted not exceeding twenty
five dollars to furnish John with coarse
and comfortable clothing, etc. The re-
mainder Of two hundred and twenty-five
dollars was RENTED to aid in the purchase
OF another laborer to aid John in the pro-
ductlon of more cotton. John Brown is
now free citizen; he makes four or five
bales Of cotton; they bring double their
former prices. Out of this price John ex-
ponds in merchandise, and for other pur-
poses other than for food one hundred
and fifty dollars. The remaining three
hundred and fifty dollars is capitalized
and kept in Louisiana John Brown is
no Partisan. He has no motive to see
the ''can-can" in the "Mabille," nor has
he an ambition to freeze in the high Alps,
or to witness the beauties of the opera at
La Scala. Formerly bills would have
been drawn agains. the labor of John
to liquidate the expense of enjoying
the Injuries of the New and Old
World. John Brown is true patriot; he
remains in his country for his countrys
good. Why, with all his earnings except
twenty-five dollars, sent out of the State
in one case, and all his earnings kept or
expended in the State, on the other, the
State is not better off than under a
former condition of labor, We can not see.
Certainly the former master of John
Brown has lost living in the labor of
John, but John himself has gained liv-
ing. The account of human happiness
is then balanced. Indeed, for that mat
ter the content Of the freeman is substi-
tuted for the enforced obedience of the
slave; but the State of Louisiana noao i'm
ports her labor aoithoM spending q cent.
Every railroad train, every ocean steamer
brings her laborers who land themselves
and go to work creating values. These
values are not sent out Of the State to
purchase labor for cash; they are ex-
pended or invested here. The questions
Of 'poor man. are well put. They raise
t he suspicion that the State is not so bad
ly off as is represented; they show that if
the war is responsible for much individual
it has developed interests
which more than replace those which it
has DESTROYED

The Portland Transcript tells story OF
the Rev. MI. Burroughs, of Portsmouth,
who some years ago spent several weeks on
Star Island for the benefit Of his health, and
the pulpit of the little stone church being
unoccupied, he volunteered to preach for
the people during his stay. Tho church
was accordingly opened, and he ministered
unto them to their apparent acceptance.
The preacher, however, did not learn in
what appreciation his labors We're held un-
til he prepared to make his departure, when
l,s interested hearers sent him bill for the
use of the church.

CHEERING NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.

Colonel J. W. Fairfax received last even
ing, from a very responsible source, the
following telegram:
WASHINGTON, December 9, 1873.
Governor Pinchback's name was put in
Buffers resolution to check Sheridan and
strengthen his own case in the Senate.
Pinchback will certainly be seated, and you
may safely congratulate his friends. ~
While the above may be slightly indie
finite on the point as to whether Mr..
Pinchback is certain to be seated in the
upper or lower branch of the national
Legislature, the consequences as regards
the olitical status of the existing govern
ment of louisiana are the same. In either
house his admission to a seat involves
the Zee ognition of the validity of the cleo
ton of last November, and it is not even
probability that the results thereof, as
declared by the legal returning board, the
courts and the national administration.
will b e at all disturbed. With the seating
Of Mr.. Pinchback we may consider the
fam Gus Louisiana case" forever closed.

In 1851, committee OF eight, including
the pastor, was chosen at town meeting
il bingham, Massachusetts, to seat the
people of the town in the new meeting
house. BY their report it appears the men
were separated from the women, while the
young men were ''seated on the gallery at
tho west end" and "ye maids were on the
one at the east end" Out of l63 women
who were placed, all were evidently young,
except one "old widow Andrewes."

Oysters are in perfection when from five
to seven years old. An FISHERMAN can tell
the age of a bivalve by counting the success,
sive layers or plates overlapping each other
each Of which is termed shoot, and indi
Gates years growth. Judging from the
size and thickness which some shells attain,
an oyster may be capable of arriving at the
respectable age Of three-score and not be
the Methuselah of his tribe then.
