readers of the WING AND TRIBUNE
all the latest dispatches. Last week
we were enabled TO give the latest
election news in advance of the
Memphis papers. The dispatches
OF Thursday night will hereafter be
published by us on Friday at noon.
The American people have always
been Jealous of the honor of their
country and their flag, and no Presi-
dent has ever failed to maintain this
honor, except the present incumbent
OF that high Office. In proof of this
we propose to revive the memory Of
q somewhat notable event. Some
time IN January, 1869, the American
Ship Col. Lloyd AspinaH Of New
York, on her way from Port au-Prince
to HAVANA, found herself five miles
OF the coast of Cuba. She sighted
the Spanish naan-of-wsr Herman Cor
fes-showed her colors, and proceed
cd ON her way. Suddenly the Span
ish vessel threw a shot across her
bows and brought her to. An armed
force boarded her, to whom the Cap
tain showed his papers, to-wit: reg
lister and clearance, authenticated by
the Spanish consul, an official pass
port letter from the United States
consul at Port-au Prince, to the Span
ish men-ofSwar in the Bahama chan
mel, and his shipping articles, with
the names of his crew. Besides this,
he announced that he was bearer Of
dispatches of great importance for the
United States Government, and for
Rear-Admiral Poor, commanding the
u. S.sNorth Atlantic squadron. The
reply of the Spanish captain was 'T
am ordered to take you to Neuvitas."
And despite all protestations of Capt.
McCarty,his vessel was taken to Neu-
vitas. At Neuvitas his dispatches
were sealed in a trunk and an armed
force sent aboard his vessel. He was,
after six days, taken with his vessel
and crew to HAVANA and anchored
under the guns of Moro Castle. With
in ninety days from the day Of
her capture, the vessel was released
by orders from Madrid. But the Gu
ban authorities refused TO obey the or
ders from Madrid, aud thereupon a
long correspondence ensued between
the Secretary Of State, Mr.. Hamil-
ton Fish and the Spanish Minister of
Foreign affairs. But not until Mr..
Fish notified the Spanish Govern
men., through the American Minister,
Gen. Sickles, ''that unless immediate
satisfaction was given this GOUerR-
naent Could consider the Propriety Of
resortins 10 the policy OF reprisals.-
Tho Steamer was then released, but
required the protection Of the United
States feet to get her out of the har-
Dor. The matter of damages Ito the
owners of the vessel) was referred to
arbitrators, and settled, but up to this
date. no apology, no PREPARATION has
been made to this Government by the
Spanish authorities for the outrage to
Tie flag. Has Mr.. Secretary Fish iu-
structed Mr.. Gushing, our present
Minister to Spain, to make this de-
mand? If so, is it not about time that
tLc matter were settled?

and is probably in excess of the
mount that will be necessary. 1t

THE subsection of the South by bayo.
net rule" is nicely illustrated by General
McDowell's testimony before the House
military committee. He says he has
about 1000 men under his command, and
they are scattered all over the South, there
being but few troops in place. In the
states of Arkansas, Louisiana and Missis-
sippi there are less than l 200 men. Gen.
eral Mcdowell says there is still much
opposition in the South against the General
government, and that it would be Difficult,
for the civil authority to execute the laws
in some portions of the South if not for the
the presence of the military. The troops
in the South are little more than a ma
tional police force, and their use in certain
sections cannot be overrated. The presence
of few troops tends to restrain the Sec
tional feeling on both sides. A reduction
of the army, in the opinion of General
Mcdowell, would be very unwise, and he
believes that whether new election is
ordered in Louisiana or not, the number of
troops there ought not to be decreased.
