More Taxes.

The secretary Of the treasury has
written to the chairman OF the ways
and means committee recommending
additional taxation that the revenues
may meet the expenses. lie recon.
mends the restoration Of the duty on
tea and coffee, which will yield about
SO, OO0, 900 per annum. The secretary
also enclosed letter from Commits
sioner Douglas, making the following
recommendations: Increase of ten
cents gallon Oh distilled spirits,
which would yield 81, 600, 900 annually
four cents additional per pound on to-
bacco, which would yield $4,000, 900
Oh Illuminating gas $250,000 on gross
receipts; on railroads from passengers
aud freight $6,OOO,ooo; on steamboat
gross receipts from passengers and
freight, $4,000; on insurance compa-
mics, 81, 800, 600 on gross receipts, $780,.
600; making an aggregate of $22, $780,
900. This with tax on tea and coffee,
would make $42,O00,0O0 The CON-
missioner says if more revenue is want.
cd il could be obtained to the extent
of SlO,OOO,000 by restoring the taxes
formerly included in schedule d, which
includes stamps OH all legal instru.
ments, deeds, mortgages, etc. For one
we are opposed to any revision of the
revenue laws that will entail greater
burthens upon the laboring classes Of
the coYatry. Let tea and coffee alone
double up on the whisky, tobacco
railrods, STEAMBOATS,, etc, but 20 nc
higher with the tax on necessary food
or tea and coffee.

Senior CASTELAR,.

Senior CASTELAR, decidedly deserves,
at such crisis as this, the sympathy
of all reasonable people. He did his
best te stay a bloody and barbarOus
proceeding, of which his worst enemy
could not suppose that he approved,
and the authority was set at naught.
He is not officially responsible for a
deed which he endeavOred to prevent,
which he must have thoroughly de-
tested, and Of which, unfortunately,
the consequences may fall upon the re-
public which he is striving to maintain
against many difficulties. He Is to
certain extent in the same position that
the American government used to be
when South Carolina choose to COLI
sign to her prisons and to her slave
markets the colOred subjects of Eu-
ropean countries who unluckily found
themselves in the port of Charleston.
But there is this important difference !:
The American government, disagree
able as its position might be, was far
too strong to be brought roughly to
book for wrongs Of which it had only
the nominal and legal, not the moral,
responsibility. But the republic Of
Spain is in so many difficulties that 1t
can, perhaps, enforce no authority over
Cuba, and can neither make no fitting
repatriation to America, nor endure
the consequences of her exacting a
PREPARATION for herself. OF course, it
Is easy to say that the moment Spain
declared herself republic she ought
to have recognized the republican priu-
ciple in Cuba, and babe Cuba go free.
But the United States have shown that
there is no necessary connection be-
tween republican principles aud ma
tional disintcgration. Apart from this
consideration we can hardly blame
Senior CASTELAR, for not doing what GER
tainly no other statesman in the world
ever did in similar circumstances. The
late General Priin, we happen to know,
was perfectly convinced that Cuba was
the source of an annual loss rather than
gain to Spain, and lie would gladly
have seen his country RE Of her. But
while he was vet considering the pros
poets of his meditated rebellion, and
was fully confident of its success, lie
did not believe that new government
founded OH the expulsion of Queer
Isabella would for long time be strong

tate to bring upon their republic the
apparent humiliation of q surrender tC
the Cuban instruction. This much
at least, it is only fair to say OH behalf
of a statesmen who, already having
tried, is now likely to be pressed b!
the consequences of q barbarous policy
which he vainly strove to prevent. Ii
the whole situation nothing is moro
difficult than the frenzied arrogance Of
the Cuban authorities. To the pow
erful enemy who was apparently only
waiting for pretext for intervention
they have furnished, not pretext, but
a justification. The Spanish fury

A Senator From the Southwest.

The Wellington Press, in an able ar
iicle on the above question in setting
forth the fact tina, every other portion
of the state is either represented by u
senator or congressman says:
Let Southwestern Kansas, long nn-
represented and neglected, strip for
the contest, and unite TO profit by this
golden opportunity. Her right TO fur
nish the next United States senator is
conceded. We have good and true
men and capable, who can faithfully
represent the best interests OF the

their ideas of reform. Then let us

0allantry Of q British Seaman

On the 7th of November the re-
maindcr Of the passengers OF the Viz
ginius were to be execnted--fifty in all;
but on the morning of that day Brit
ish man -of.war, the NiObe, arrived in
port. The captain, on coming into the
harbor, did not salute the Spanish
forts. He was in his boat before his
anchor touched the bottom, aud on
landing proceeded straight to the
governors house, and promptly de-
manded that the executions should
cease. The governor at first declared
that he had no right TO interfere, but
the captain said that, in the absence Of
an American man-Of-war, he would
take the responsibility Of protecting
American citizens, and guarding the
honor Of the American flag. 1t is said
that he gave the encouragement his
choice between yielding to his demands
or having the city bombarded, and the
governor-general accordingly gave
way. Only for the arrival of the NiObe
there con be 10 doubt but that the fifty
would have been shot that afternoon.
All the Americans in port were loud
in praise Of the manner in which tho
captain of the Niobc acted. l ascer-
tanned few days after his arrival that
he came in answer to . telegraphic
message from tho American consul,
sent after the massacre of Captain Fry
and the crew, asking to have an Amer
lean man-of-war dispatched to Santi-
ago de Cuba. There happened to be
no American man .of-war at Kingston
ut the time, but the commander of the
Niobe Immediately got up steam, and
even though he had not his full compile
ment Of men, many of them being on
shore. without delay started for Santi'
ago de Cuba. One of his first acts
were to compel the Spaniards to re-
move the American flag from the place
on the deck of the Tornado, where il
had been thrown about aud trampled
upon for days, more like a rag than q
flag. lie also compelled the governor
of Santiago to furnish him with five
copies Of the official proceedings in re-
gard to the trials-one for himself, one
for his commodore, one for the Amer
lean government, one for the British.
and the remaining one for the Ameri
commodore. When concluding his
story, Mr.. Coffin assured the reporter
that the Spanish authorities somehow
seem to have no respect for the Ameri
can government, aud do not hesitate
OH the slightest pretext to insult thu
American flag.
