THE Spanish minister a. Washington
was yesterday officially advised from
Mairid that his government has con-
ceded that in future American citizens
on trial before a court-martial In Cuba
sbau have the privilege Of selecting
counsel for defense. The treaty OF 1895,
in the opinion of tEe Spanish govern
ment, wss not sufficiently definite to
meet the ca3es Of court-msTtlals in the
event of war or inEuuection in the
island, but the present arrangement
settles the question in accordance with
the desire expressed in friendly note
addressed by Secretary Fish to the
Spanish government, and dispcsss Of
the exsg gerated reports on this subject.

81. Louis Assurances.

At meeting held in St. Louis last Satur-
day, OF the committees appointed TO arrange
for the National Railroad convention, which
assemblies in that city on the twenty third in
slant, Colonel James .. Broadhead offered the
following resolution:
ResolU d, That the city of st, Louis does not
ask or claim that she shall be made the east
ern terminus OF the proposed southern Trans.
continental railroad. What she tasks is that
the building OF the road shall be secured TO
some suitable point In the Mississippi valley
within the territorial limits OF Texas, Louis
lana, arkansas, Missouri or the Indian Terri
tory, and she will trust to her commercial and
geographical position and to the intelligence
and enterprise OF her citizens to secure such
connections Herewith as may be desirable.
In support Of the resolution, Colonel Broad
head said be offered 1t for the reason that
there appeared to be some feeling in the south
in regard TO the part st. Louis had taken in
the movement. By all indications the Mem
phis people had imbibed the idea that there
was an effort to make the enterprise entirely
a ct. Louis concern. 1t was desirable that the
executive committee declare openly that st.
Louis was nou seeking alone to make herself
the eastern terminus. The resolution was
accepted unanimously, and the delegation
fIom 81. Louis were instructed 10 present ii to

IT seems proper that the local ceiebra-
tions of the Fourth of July, 1876, which
viii be held throughout the land, should
be made to contribute to a permanent
historical memorial of the Centennial
Celebration. In each county provision
should be made for the delivery of an
address tracing the history of that par
ticular community'for the past century,
or from the time of its settlement, and
including a sketch OF its growth, it's re-
sources, Industries, prospects, etc. These
addresses should be published in a uni
form size,-that of the Congressional
documents, for instance, in order that
they may be bound together by States.
To cclnpetant persons the preparation
OF such addresses would not be an I'M
duly hurdensome task; but in the ag-
sregat,. they would constitute an inval.
uable his orical repository, such as no
nation has ever had the opportunity to
collect.
Del ynations of the historians ought
to be made without delay, in order that
they may have time to accomplish their
work. 1t is to be hoped that the press
will give general circulation to the pro-
ject, and that each journal will see to its
consummation in its own locality, and
that the slight expenses involved be as
sumed by the county or towu authori-
ties
