Cuban Indignation Meeting.

a great IldSS UleeIlllS Was uelu 1T OOOl-
er's Institute tonight to proteSti in the name
of humanity and justice against the barbara
ties perpetrated by the SpaniardS in Cuba.
The meeting was heralded by large posters
headed, NO more war upon women and
children" and calling for accordance of
belligerent rights to Cuba. The meeting
did not commence until after S o'clock, but
there was an immense crowd outside the
doors at I, and in few minutes after the
doors were opened, every seat was filled.
Hon. Horace Bernard presided. Letters
were read from S. S. Cox. Lieutenant Gov
ernor Robinson and Alexander Stephens
expressing sympathy with the objects Of
the meeting, and regretting their inability
to be present. \ letter was alsOSread from
Gov. Dix, in which he says his views in re-
gard to these atrocities were clearly set
forth at a public meeting held on the 9th
ult.. in Steinway Hall, having entire conf
dence that the Government will do all that
is necessary to vindicate the honor of the
country. He prefers not to take part in
another public demonstration on this sub
iect.
The first speaker, Rev. G. II. HepwOrth,
said America made a demand after the late
news from Cuba which looked, under the
circumstances, like an apology. The next
message ought to be inthe shape Of bomb
shell.
a preamble and resolution were adopted
rehearsing the stories of c:uelties practiced
by the Spaniards in Cuba upon men,
women and children, praying Con-
gress to adopt measures to prevent their
recurrence, and asking that belligerent
rights be accorded the Cuban revOlutiOnists.
Addresses were then delivered by Gen.
COchrane, MorTitz Ellinger, Gen. Miller,
Rev. John Parker and Maj. Haggerty. The
proceedings closed with a resolution calling
on Hon. Alex. Stephens and Hon. 5. S. Cox
to present the memorial and resolution to
Congress.

Mr.. Cox, Not noticing Mr.. Garfield's
interruption But | never knew in my
life single member Of Congress from Con
necticut, from the Hartford convention
down, who did not begin to have some sort
of war spirit as against his own country on
sectional matters, and who had not always
covered when it came to fighting for the
flag abroad.
Mr.. Hawley, misapprehending Mr.. COX's
last remark want to know who is a
coward?
Mr.. Cox | am making no personal fight
upon you. | said covered, not coward.
Mr.. Hawley-I suppose you used it in a
picilwickiap sense,
Mr. Garfield to Mr.. Cox-Do you spell it
with an II?
Mr.. COX-No. spell it erred. l said
covered. ! say to the gentleman from Con
necticut, who is as irascible as most soldiers
are, that when he puts IN my mouth a
speech for war, he makes slight mistake.
| said nothing of the kind. | said the
House did not come up to the spirit Of the
neope. Congress ha5 not yet vindicated
the flag, has not shown the old devotion to
the flag which belonged to other days of
the republic.
Mr.. Archer said the bill before the House
should appropriate a much larger sum than
four millions. The pending bill, however,
ought to pass Immediately. lie only hoped
the committee on appropriations would at
an early day ask for a still larger appro-
priati0n for the same purpose.
Mr.. Beck took occasion to enlQgize the
administration for lis course in reference to
Cuban affairs. lie said that if there was
anything which the President had managed
well it was the negotiations with Spain.
The President might have plunged the
country into difficulties, and perhaps have
aggrandized himselfat the expense Of the
country, but the course which he mad pIT=
sued had been extremely moderate and
wise.
The discussion was carried on for some
time longer and then the Committee rose
and reported the bill to the House, and it
was thereupOn passed. House adjourned.

THERE is evident need of some little re-
construction in Rhode Island. judg from
the following paragraph relative to the
treatment of a party of colored stuGe ,s'ln
Providence:
For The first time since these colored Students
left their books, in Hampton, Va, they found 1t
difficult last week, in Providence, 10 find places
in which they could sleep over nignt. 1t was in
vain that statements were made To the propric-
Tors of hotels that The students We're resp etable,
educ. ted people. The doors were closed against
tnem, I'd not until it was re.rly time for the
colcert to CONNIE see were Trey able to fad shell
ter. A gentlemen on the out kris OF the city
ffnally took pity Oh them and took them in. All
the hotels i'll The celtae Were applied to, and all
declined to receive them.
This account we clip from, one of our
northern exchanges. We hope General
Armstrong and the students under his
charge will find more Smiling Provi-
denceo elsewhere in New England.

THE Philadelphia Press contains the re-

THE Philadelphia Press contains the re-
port of Colonel Thomas A. Scott, presi-
dent of the Texas and Pacific railroad
company, submitted day or two since to
the stockholders of the same. The report
is complete exposition of the progress
and plans of this corporation, and will be
of interest to others than those directly in
terested. Practical and matter-of-fact man
as Colonel Scott is, he has not been able to
resist the inspiration of his theme. The
report is a glowing one, as is its subject.
The results that have been accomplished
thus far may be summed up as fol-
lows: Under the supervision Of General
G. M. Dodge, chief engineer, the work of
constructing the line has been pushed
with great rapidity from Longview west to
to Dallas, from Marshall via Jefferson to a
point near Texarkana, and from that point
west to Sherman. Nearly four hundred
miles of the road have been graded the
greater portion of the ties needed have
been distributed along the line, and the
rails and fastenings have been purchased,
and are being forwarded as rapidly as re-
CURED. So favorable is the country thus
far developed by the preliminary surveys,
that the report states that the proceeds of
the sale of bonds and the liberal donations
of Texas and San Diego will be ample to
build and thoroughly equip the road ac-
cording to the prescribed standard.
A branch of the same road will probably
be built from some point in Arizona to St.
Louis. There is no finer agricultural and
mineral region in the whole country than
that embraced within the western limits OF
the road. Arizona is certainly a most
wonderful section, Astounding in untold
wealth to the present and future settler.
and, when reached by rail, will rapidly
increase in population.

The temperance of the Woodruff
ClaHin Weekly the terrible expose Of the
" Tilton-Beecher scandal, as it is called,
made therein; with some vague, yet most
damaging inuendoes. made by the master
mind in the disgraceful scene-we mean
ct. T." himself,-and The Thunderbolt's
cleaning shafts hurled into the moral at
mosphero of Brooklyn, have given an un-
expected turn to the affair, so far as the j :
lat.ve position of the parties and pub |;
opinion are concerned. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Edward II. G.. Clark, Of The Troy
Press, is the real Jupiter tonans of The
Thunderbolt, the moral tone of which is
high, and whose shafts are winged with a
purpose to purify rather than blight or de-
stroy. A letter of Mr.. Clark has just
appeared in the Rochester Democratic and
Chronicle, which speaks for itself, and
which defends Mrs. Woodruff so far as to
protect her from what Mr.. Clark declares to
be !" hideous conspiracy against freedom of
speech and the press" in her late arrest
and Imprisonment. The letter is dated
May 10th, and is as follows:
Dear Sir-Our Troy Press quotes You this after

The Acknowledgement he's just given
an important opinion to the effect that the
law to abolish the franking privilege is not
to be construed to prevent the transmission
of letters containing currency for redemp-
ton. tt is the wish of the Secretary of the
Treasury that as fast as fractional currency
or legal tender becomes worn, it should be
exchanged for the new notes. The gov
ernment on the payment of ordinary post
age, permits all such letters to be register
ed free to and from Washington, that no
one may have any excuse for repudiating
money. An adverse decision would cut
off this privilege now availed of to large
extent all over the country.

TIE passage of the bill abolishing the
religious houses in Rome, by the Italian
chamber of deputies, was foregone con-
clusion, and could hardly have excited sur
prise, either at the Vatican or among the
Catholics elsewhere. II will be different in
relation to the amendment which grants
the Pope 100000 Tires annually for the
support Of the generals of the different or
ders. No one expected that the ministry
would be able to induce the chamber to
vote for such a grant at time when the
national treasury was so low. 1t was only
the other day that The Parliament refused
the minister of war a million for defensive
purposes. though the whole cabinet threat
ened to retire if the appropriation was re-
fused. The only way to explain this
strange liberality, is that the chamber be-
lieves the Holy Father will decline to re-
ceiye the money, as he has hitherto per-
sisted in refusing his own pension. 1t
would be good joke if the Pope were to
change his mind.
