Cuba and Slavery.

In another portion of the HERALD will be
found letter from our special Commissioner
to the island of Cuba containing an account
of visit to slave plantation near Villa Clara
and to q coolie ship at Havana. The horrible
degradation of slavery in its dual form, as
practised in the island, will be brought wildly
to the mind, and, in connection with the
movement now on foot for its abolition, these
pictures should have the most marked effect in
urging the work forward.
The instruction is still in its hopeless con-
dition. Fresh reinforcements are arriving for
the Spaniards, and fresh supplies of arms and
munitions ore reaching the patriots A fight
in one place is distinguished from a skirmish
elsewhere only by the fact that greater loss
of life is counted in one than the other; but
of signs of a telling victory for one side or the
other there are none.
The Spanish proclamation from Havana,
which we publish elsewhere, and which calls
on certain naturalized Cubans resident in this
city to present themselves at the common Jail
in the metropolis of Cuba, to be there
garroted, is piece of insolent absurdity. It
possibly has some meaning more than show
of bravado, which the official pocket can un-
derstand.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1873-01-31

Great excitement prevails in st. Pete rsburo
regarding the Khivan difficulty. Intelligence
has just been received in the Russian capital
to the effect that the Russian soldiers who
happen to fall into the hands Of the Khivans
are subjected to the most barbarous treat
ment. The natural result is that the Russian
people are enthusiastically in favor of the
expedition. The military preparations are on
a grand scale, and they are being pushed for
ward with vigor. The total force to be sent
to Central Asia will sum up to the high figure
of fifty thousand men. Princes of the imperial
family and persons in high rank are volun-
teering in large numbers. It is quite clear
from oil this that Russia must punish the
Khan Of Khiva. The world will not blame
Russia if she does. The great question which
concerns the general public is how far the
Khivans may be punished without provoking
the ire of England. Hour by hour this ques-
ton becomes more lively, and it is yet uncer-
tain whether this Central Asian difficulty will
not bring Great Britain and Russia into open
conflict. Russia is in earnest and Great
Britain is in earnest. If the two great Powers
cannot come to terms we shall have war on a
much grander scale than that of the late
struggle which brought so much sorrow and
humiliation to France. For the first time
since the Crimean fight the British press cries
loudlv for war.

The late cold wave, recently forewarned by
the HERALD, appears to have brought both the
lowest temperatures and the most violent
changes of temperature experienced this Win
ter. The various kilograms from all parts of
the country this side Of the great Plains indi-
cate vicissitudes which are calculated to shock
the human frame and prepare it by debilita-
ton for the prey of our worst Winter diseases.
1t is q well known fact that the increase Of
cold, even when regular and gradual, is fol-
lowed by rapid increase Of the death rate.
But the weather through which we are passing
must be more trying ordeal to infrm and over
worked humanity than the intense but unvary-
ing cold of an Icelandic Winter. We expect
that Captain Hall and his Arctic explorers have
really suffered not more from the steady rigor
of the circumpolar regions than have the;
people OF the United States, who recently, in
some localities this week, have had the ther-
mometer twenty degrees or thirty degrees be-
low zero, and have seen it suddenly rise as
much as from twenty-five to thirty-fve degrees
in twelve hours Fortunately we do not hear
of any of those terribly high winds which
make such cold snap more than doubly
deadly. II is these Wintry blasts, doubtless in
reserve for us when March begins, which reap
the largest harvest of death. The above facts
nay Justly warn our railroad authorities
against the perils Of brittle rails to be expected
by travellers after such excessive thermometric
changes. They may also warn oil classes
against trusting the smiling and treacherous
weather Of February, which will no doubt
soon appear When will the period Of these
'.ierce extremes be over?

Credit MobiIicr i'm Pcnnsylvania ana
DUFF Green.

The Harrisburg Telegraph Indignantly de-
MES a statement made in the course of a dis
cussion in the Constitutional Convention that
the Legislature of Pennsylvania, for the paltry
sum of fifty thousand dollars enacted the Credit
Mobilier-a corporation which was refused in
corporation by the Legislature of New York
for not less than three hundred thousand dol
lars, and by the New Jersey Legislature for
not less than one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars. The Telegraph recalls the time when
the tall form of the venerable Duff Green ap-
peared at Harrisburg with what everybody
considered the wild scheme of his fiscal
agency, and scarcely money enough in his
pockets to pay his hotel bills The bill, how
ever became O law, and lay for a long time in
the Secretary's Office. without friends, on &C
count of the non payment OF the enrolment
tax, the trihing sum of one hundred dollars.
The Telegraph argues that if the friends Of the
bill spent fifty thousand dollars 10 get it
passed, they ought certainly to have had
enough left to pay the enrolment tax. But it
seems the law was sufficiently legalized for
working purposes in other States; for, accord
ing to the disclosures in the Constitutional
Convention, 'it was transported to Maine,
ran its Shiny course throughout the entire
Union, and has corrupted men in the highest
walks of life, as we'll as those in the lowest,
