@- Baxter, the Radical Governor of Ar
kansas, has quarreled with some of his party
and number of the latter have turned States
evidence. Tho republican chief justice of
the State is one of these and he declares that
Baxter was no more elected Governor than he
was. Another is the editor of one of the
party organs, who offers to prove that in only
four counties, over 5, 900 votes, intended for
Baxter's opponent, were illegal and fraud

THE VIRGINIA G0VERNoRsH1P

A correspondent Of the Baltimore Sun,
writing from Richmond says:
1.-THE Conservative choice for Governor will,
in all probability, fall upon either Col. Robt
E. Withers, of Wytheville, or General James
l.. Kemper, of Madison county. AS far as
can see their strength seems now to be pretty
evenly balanced. Col. Withers was the Con.
servative naminee 10 1860, but withdrew in
order to"allow Gov. G.. G. Walker, the liberal
candidate, to take the field. Eor his patriot
ism and self-sacriiice in this matter there are
very many who believe that it is the duty of
his party nos to elevate him to the chief
nagistracy Of the State. especially as he pos
sesses every qualification for the place. Gen.
Kemper has brilliant war record is an able
and popular speaker, live and energetic man,
and occupies high position in tthe affections
of tho people. Either Withers or Kemper
could carry the State, for there is perfect
unity and harmony in the councils of the
Conservatives, and their registered majority
is between twenty-five and forty thousand

THE HERALD COMMISSIONER TO CUBA.

From the Poughkeepsie Press, Feb. ~
The NEW YORK HERALD has sent q COMMISSIONER
Mr.. James OKelly, to Cuba, to gather facts In the
interest Of the American people and the world at
large concerning the condition Of that island.
This enterprise does not suit the despottc magnates
OF that little Territory, and Mr.. OKely has re-
ceived official notice that II he is found among the
insurgents, or after returning into the Spanish
lines from such mission, is taken, he will be shot
as q spy. The HERALD gives due notice to the
Spanish authorities that If they should commit
such an outrage against this American citizen
Spain will be compelled to pay the penalty for 1t.
The HERALD is right. We very much doubt that
the Spanish authorities there, STEPPED as they are
in innocent blood, would SO defy the moral senti.
ment OF the world Should they do so the blood Of
the martyr would be the rank growing principle Of
political liberty and disenthralment from foreign
despotism in that island. In less than six months
not an emblematic rag OF Spanish rule would show
itself In Cuba.

REVELATIONS OF THE SUN THROUGH THE
SPECTROSCOPE

Lecture by Professor 8. A. Barker &c
Cooper Institute Last Night.
The third Of the of free lectures under the
auspices OF the Cooper Union was given last even
ing by Professor Barker, OF Yale College. The sub
ject was Revelations Of the Sun Through the
spectroscope."
So interesting a theme naturally drew an I'M
usually large attendance, and the hall was packed
with an assemblage Of eager auditors, many OF
them ladies, who were particularly attracted BY
the brilliant experiments. II they did not thor
lecture they could at least appreciate the cooring
and beauty OF the Illustrations. The Professor re-
viewed the history OF astronomical research IN re-
gard to the sun. Professor Bunsen was the FIRST to
devote himself almost exclusively to spectrum
analysis, and the spectroscope was his constant
ton at the Castle oil Heidebcrg-he avaied himself
OF the instrument to decompose the various rays
emanating from the lights there used. He found
that dirferent lights Indicated the pres
ence OF dlnerent metals Afterwards, through
the aid furnished by I'VE European gov
ernments. physicists were despatched, on tho
occasion Of solar eclipse to dinerent portions Of
the spectroscope, conclusively demonstrated that
the various terrestrial metals, such as silver,
strOnllum, titaniunl, &C., existed as constituent
elements OF the sun and contributed to the lorma-
ton 0f solar light. These facts were Illustrated ~
the aid Of screen and magic lantern, on whicn
the spectra were projected and the dlnerent vari-
coored rays exhibited by successfully substituting
the different metals la the Illuminating apparatus
The lecture was concluded about hali-past nlncs
and the audience departed, highly pleased WIN
