like those OF America, each having an independent

Comments of the Press OF Havana.

From the Diario de la Marina, Nov. 81
The notice Of the capture Of the Virginius and
the arraignment of the prisoners before naval
tribunal win doubtless rejoice the heart OF every
loyal citizen since the virglnius the first pirate
vessel that has fallen into the hands Of our brave
sailors. The hibusters have been taken to San
tiago de Cuba, where they have been put on trial.
The crime OF piracy Is that which is most antag-
onistic to the laws Of all civilized peoples We pre-
sumo that among those captured are Santa Rosa,
the American, Ryan, and several others who were
mentioned in the letters OF our correspondent in
New York, which have already been before our
readers. There will be many notices touch
ing this very important item OF success, which
we shall publish without the least delay. To-day.
however, we shall content ourselves by tendering

have now neither the time nor space to enter luiy
into the consideration OF the capture or the Vir-
ginus, as we have SO many other subjects to oc-
cupy our columns but we cannot conclude with.
particular the brave men Of the Tornado. TO His
Excellency, Captain General Jovellar, we would
express our entire satisfaction with this exit OF
the virginius at the commencement OF his COM
mand In this Antte, regarding II as the nnrcfo OF
complete victory in the future, and with the loyal
OF Cuba we will exclaim, with the most hearty en-
thusiasm, "ViuG Ia marina EspdH0Iai Viva Ia
iategriddd del terTitorto pdtrto!"
Casino Espaiioi of Havana arrived at the palace to
congratulate the Captain General on his safe ar
rival and to compliment him on MS taking posses

same time they took the opportunity OF expressing
their JOY at what they considered the most favor

A NEW POLITICAL ERA rs OPEN.

A NEW POLITICAL ERA IS OPEN
n ing before the country. The negro
cycle of our politics has rounded to its
conclusion through civil war, social vio-
lence, industrial disorder, and has ended
in giving freedom to four millions of the
nero race, and the ballot to its adnlt
males. The politics of this new era will
come home to every mans business and
bosom as never before. being vital to pr-
vate prosperity and the maintenance of
Democratic Republic.
For not only are the manifold encroach-
ments of Federal upon State powers and
of both upon the large liberty Of Ameri-
can freemen now as always to be repelied
with ceaseess vigilance not only is home
1ule or local self-government now as al
Iyays to be maintained for the best guar
antee OF civil liberty and Of national
greatness, but besides, the victories of
peace which are to give splendor to the
new political era must be won against ev-
cry advantage which even enemies of free
institutions could desire or possess.
A gigagtic Debt, which the honor of the
country is pledged to pay, encumbers all
orr industries with its oppressive burden.
Nevertheless our systems Of Municipal
and State Taxation are crude, unequal,
and defraud the poor to release the rich.-
Nevertheless our system of Federal Taxa
ton is such an infamous masterpiece or
ignorance and incapacity, put to the vilo
uses of mOnOpolsts and fav0rites and
thieves, as never anywhere has dlsgraced
modern civilization since Louis XIV, with
his methods of taxation rather than it's
amount paralyzed the industries of
France. And along with the Tariff, which
prohibits the export of our manufactures,
abridges the number Of our industries,
cuts down the profit upon the exports
abolishes our shipping from off the high

States Treasury-along with this engine
of oppression, stupidity, and fraud goes
