CONGRESS votes beautifully nd,

Congress votes beautifully under
the pressure Of the Investigations
going on. The Senate has passed an
amendment to the Legislative appro-
priation bill directing the Secretary OF
the Treasury to withhold payments
for government transportation to the
Pacific Railroads, sending them to the
courts for redress; the House refused
to shoulder the debt of the District of
Columbia, killed the scheme to refund
the cotton tax, and abolished the
franking privilege.

city, about year since, will be read

death The letter is written in an easy
business land.

Dear Sir :-As you requested the
letter Of Colonel Earle for publication,
| enclose the Original, and YOU can
make nse Of it as YOU feel inclined.
Colonel Ealle is an American and a
gentleman. and bis. statements can be
fully relied on. Fer his soidierly bear
ing, strict attention TO duty and pre-
eminently conspicuous bravery, he was
promoted to the rank of Lieutenant
Colonel, and made chiet Of the scouts
of the Island. He served on the staff
of Generals Cavada and Jorden and
was my chief of scouts. 1 perfectly
agree with him that the 100000 ne
groes that have been set free by the
Cubans viii never consent to return to
their former condition. They can only
be vanished by being exterrninated
The Cubans are struggling to throw
off the despptic and tyrannical rule OF
Spain, and rid their country of human
bondage There are two parties to the
conlict--one for tyranny, oppression
and wrong; the other for freedom,
equality and right
Cuba will sooner or later be free /;
her cause is just it is only question
Of time loss Of more life Sand more
sacrifices. Respectfully,
w. a. C. RYAN.
