Thomas Carlyle recently closed an in
terview with London correspondent OF
the San Francisco Chronicle with this
characteristic growl at California: "You
are doing no good there; you are harm
ing the world. Cover over your mines,
leave your gold in the earth and 20 to
planting potatoes. Every man who gives
potato to the world is the benefactor of
his race: but you with your gold are
overturning society, making the ignoble
prominent, increasing everywhere the
expenses of living, and confusing all
things"
The WHIPPING PosT,-One item of in
crease in the cost of governing the
Southern States is thus set down by Mr..
Nordhoff:
formerly n negro thief received
thirty-nine 1ashes from the overseer, and
therean end NOW constable catches him,
q prison holds him for trial, grand
jury indicts him, a petit jury hears evil
dence for and against him, q Judge SEN
tences him if he is guilty and thereupon
a penitentiary receives him Just as it
does his white brother-in-law."
The eloquent Southern editor is now
prepared to announce of Augusta j.
Evans new novel, that "the rhythmic
polysyllable comes rolling out upon the
strand Of literature even as the green
sea beats grand cadences upon the shore
covered with the drifting sands of oentu-
ries, bearing upon its bosom pearls of
purest ray, fit to bedeck proud Juno's
diadem."

THUNDERBOLT.

TNHIS new brand of CIGARS, when
once known to Smokers, will certainly
have the effect of THUNDERBOLT,
striking right square into the Cigar
Trade, and, like the Havana Tips, start

In THE conference yesterday between
the Sioux Indians and the Commissioner
of Indian affairs White Charger, distin-
guished brave of Lone Horns band, COM
planned that Red Cloud and Spotted Tail
were furnished with more rations and an
nuities than they should receive. And yet
the Sc two savage grumblers have been ut
tering complaints that their people have
been starved, and distinguished and
learned Professor filled his pockets with
superannuatcd beans and came. to Washing
ton to illustrate the terrible cruelty prac-
ticcd at the Red Cloud agency. Spotted
Tail and his brother growler are the best
illustrations of how baseless..is their charge.
No one who looks upon their heavy jowls
would suspect that they suffered much for
lack Of good rations.

Polka" and drinking pine-top whisky,
allowed his tongue to get very frisky when
making his address of welcome. He said :;
The committee for Mecklenburg county,
"meet, &C. What committed The COM
"mittee which adjourned after the meet
"ing Of the 2eth. The convention oil the
"31st was necessary sequence to make q
"more perfect government, and provioe
munitions of war to maintain the oolu
declaration made eleven days previous
"but time and the occasion will not permit
"me to pursue this train Of thought 'fur-
ether. Inasmuch as the pretended reSo-
lutions of the Goth absolve the Mecklen'
burgers from all allegiance and declare Tor
absolute independence, and inasmuch as
the resolves of the 31st, passed by the same
patriots, are loyal to the British Crown II
is not strange that Mayor Johnston could
not ''pursue this train of thought further.
1t was, no doubt, great "strain " on him
TO pursue " it as far as he did however,
it was far enough to expose the fraudulent
character of the Centennial.

IT is reported that certain prominent
Republican candidate for the Presidential
nomination boosted few days ago of his
ability to bring the New York Tribune back
into the ranks Of Republican journals. We
doubt the report, and do not believe that
the Tribune will ever ally itself to any reg
ular party organization again. Its hatred
of President Grant, together with the am,
bition of its founder, has driven its ICON.
founder" into close relations with that
mythical political quantity known as the
Independent Voter, and unless some can
didate should be nominated by the Repub.
icans who would be willing to take rank
as an Independent, the Tribune will re.
main where it is-on the ragged edge Of
Copperneaiism.

DANIEL L. RUSSELL, ESQ.,, of North
Carolina, has issued pamphlet letter, ad-
dressed to the Hon. John Kerr, Judge of
the Seventh Judicial District of North
Carolina, which contains some 'smighty
interesting reading" Judge Kerr, it will
be remembered, was the oratoHef the day
at the Mecklenburg celebration. The open
ing paragraph of Mr.. Russell's letter reads
as follows:
SIR: Or the last day of Brunswick court you
were guilty of q premeditated assault upon
me, inflicted from under the cover of your ju-
dicial robes. This act of judicial arrogance
and oppression was the fit offspring Of a mind
endowed by nature with many of her choicest
gifts, but disordered by drunkenness, debased
by prejudice, enfeebled by senillty and DOM
mated by inordinate vanity; Of a conscience
burdened with the memory of a wasted life,
blighted hopes and evil deeds, and made res
tive by the restraints of an illy-assumed pre-
tense Of piety.

WHEN ''the Honorable" Jefferson Davis
visited Texas lately, on the occasion Of the
State Fair, he was greeted by the Demo-
cratic Governor of that State as follows:
l come to tender him the Inequalities of
Texas, in the name and in behalf of the people
of Texas. Many of you have never seen him
before. Regard him; he stands before you,
and you can realize what kind of man it was
that rode upon the whirlwind and directed the
storm. l come here to welcome the soldier,
the statesman, the patriot and the Christian
gentleman, jefferson Davis, to Texas. [Cheers. ]

q vengeance

WHAT the Governor of North Carolina
said to the Governor of South Carolina
has long been a mystery, but we have
hopes that some of the reporters of the
Mecklenburg celebration will be able to
enlighten the public on this point. They
were both present on that occasion, and
their remarks were listened to by large
numbers of curious peOplc.

THE ARTICLE copied elsewhere from the
New Orleans Republican fully sustalns oul
assumptions regarding Mr.. Wheeler's re-

a justification of the stand we have taken
from the beginning of the controversy.

MEssRs. R. CLOUD, S. TAIL, and their
associates from the Black Hill region, are
getting fastidious. They object to their
present comfortable quarters at the Ire
mont house, and demand to be removed
to some place where they can enjoy more
capacious apartments. There is an old
saying about giving an inch and taking an
ell which is suggested by this demand, and
which is amended by a frontiersman who
is afflicted with the characteristic English
difficulty in pronouncing words beginning
with a vowel. He advises the Government
to yield 'the hinch'' TO these noble red
men, and let tLem take the other thing as
soon as possible

Cuban Prospects,

From the Louisville CourIer-Journal.l
In the latter part of March Captain General
Valmaseda proclaimed to the world that the
Cuban instruction was, as it had always been,
a fight between civilization and barbarism, and
announced his purpose to destroy it. He de-
clared it to be his immediate purpose to un-
tiringly pursue what he styled "my system of
command in Cuba" until every inch of the
island should be governed in the name of the
King. About the middle of April the Captain
General buckled on his armor and took the
field in person, to verify the prediction made
in his proclamation that "rebellion will again
retreat to its rugged mountains, where pursuit
and hunger will soon finish it," But pursuit
and hunger did not wind up the rebellion as
rapidly as was anticipated, and in the last days
of April the Captain General so far mitigated
his System of command in Cuba" that he
publicly offered unconditional pardon to all
rebels who should submit before May so, 1875.
Such a concession, however, could not be made
without a touch of Spanish bombast, SO the
noble Count Valmaseda relieved his mild re-
quest for peace with the assurance that
"enough loyal bayonets remained in Spain to
make those Spanish soldiers bite the dust who
continue in close union with the insurgents,
shedding the blood of their former compan-
ions anu DTOLleTS al OF winch SHOWS
that while the Captain General is a loyal
gentleman, his men are in the habit of
going over to the enemy biting the dust,
starving in the rugged mountains, and loyal
| bayonets in teTrOFem notwithstanding. And
now it is becoming the fashion in South Amer
lea and along up the coast TO talk about Cuba
as free and independent establishment, and
rumors come from our own capital that our
naval forces in the Gulf of Mexico are to be
strengthened; and some people think that we
are only going to look after the Rio Grande
troubles by way of the Mexican seaports, and
others say that there is something in the wind
concerning Cuba. But whether we are to

youthful king, and leave Cuba to work out her
own destiny.
