A WORD FOB THE TEXANS.

Gen. Grant Is doubtless busily engaged just
now in arranging his official affairs, prepare
tory to his stepping down and out. Gen.
Sherman is busily occupied working up those
famous Memoirs which are to bring him, as
his friends think. small fortune and any
quantity of abuse from other military chief
tainG Gen. Sheridan is of course for the
present hors de combat, as far as political
squabbles, or banditti determination is con-
cerned, and Secretary Bslknsp is probably
debating as to the style and place of his sum-
mer frolic; but, in the meantime, the resi-
dents on the far-off borders of distant Texas
are left to do the best they can for themselves
in the vilainous warfare being waged against
them by Cortina and his lawless bands OF
thieves and murderers
The powers that be seem to be too much
occupied with their own personal affairs to
to pay any heed to the constant cries for help
which are sent up by the luckless men who
have made home on the borders of the Lone
Star State. Every mail that leaves Texas.
and almost every days telegraphic news con-
tains some account Of new and terrible out
RACES inflicted on these almost helpless
people, and yet no sympathetic chord seems
to have been awakened in the hearts Of those
to whom our countrymens rights and welfare
have been entrusted. Indeed, things have
now gone SO far, that it seems petitioning
for pity is most weak" as every call is either
not answered at all, or receives, at best, but a
response couched in terms of doubtful i'm
port.
The reply the people Of Texas want, and
should have, to their demands is thorough
and we'll organized force of troops who will
not ask to be sent home when one Of their
number is killed, and who are not such timid
and pitiful creatures as to awaken Executive
pity when one is hurt, but who will into the
breach like men resolved to do their whole
duty and rid Texas of the pestiferous marau-
ders who SO infest her fair borders. As it is,
this Cortina seems to defy the whole govern
ment, as indeed he does the local powers, and
when he receives the slightest defeat ha
boldly swears to kill "three for one" at the
first opportunity, and frequently manages to
carry out his murderous threats.
The stock in Western Texas are much
scattered, simply because the herdsmen are
fearful Of being killed by the raiders. Sub
stantiated reports Of this character are every
day sent to Washington, and no attention
paid to them. Things have come to that pass
now where "the sovereign people ought to
demand justice" and if their demands are
not urged and forced upon the speedy atten-
ton of the proper authorities by the people
aud press Of the North, then indeed will
Texans have right to doubt the sincerity Of
that oft-declared sentiment OF friendliness
and fraternal feeling which has been of late
expressed by the people of the North. See
to it, people Of Texas, that you are either pro-
tected in the enjoyment Of your lives and
property, or throw the onus of the crime
where it properly belongs.

DR.. Gross, the celebrated surgeon, was once

met one of his patients, who remarked to him:
"Oh, doctor, rejoice to see that you are out
again; had we lost you, our good people
would have died by the dozen" ''Thank you.

garden of debate, in which the issues will be
distinctly made, thence to be transferred to
the broad field Of the Republic. The key Of
the whole is given in the Califor-
mia resolution: "The Southern whites
defy and contemn constitutional
amendments and legislation done under Re
publican auspices. and refuse to negroes their
civil and political rights, and in this the
Democrats Of the North uphold them. There
fore, the mission of the Republican party is
not ended, and. therefore, the government Of
the country must not be suffered to pass into
the hands Of the Democratic party" This is
the substance Of the resolution quoted above,
as interpreted by the known spirit and pro-
clivities of the Radical party leaders. The
deeper meaning is that Southern electoral
votes are not to be suffered in any event to
count against Grant or whoever may be the
nominee of the Philadelphia Convention.

"means for the Democratic party simply
"one more chance to redeem itself. " =
Reform must begin at home, too-Iight

"tion. The present registry list should be
cat once obliterated, and a new registra-
" ton of voters be had, which should be
fair and honest" Open confession is
said TO be good for the soul. Before
the election all things now confessed were
denied. But now the Gazette hastens
to inform the newly-elected city fathers
and State Legislators that they were elected
upon explicit promises of economy and
reform. And 'fhey must not do so again"
or their doom is certain. Will the Gazette
remember this till the next campaign?

HOW WE PAY spA1r's WAR EXPENSES

The manner in which Cuba has been
taxed by the Home Government may be es-
timated from few facts taken from the re-
ports just antecedent to the beginning of
the Patriot war. Slave labor has earned
the money and the labor of the United
States, the chief consumer of Cuban pro-
ducts of slave labor, has ultimately paid
large proportion of this enormous tax which
has enabled Spain to fight Don Carlos at
home, and the patriots in the island of
Cuba. The Chicago Tribune says that the
" estimated production of Cuba in 1867
was $132, 500, 600, and upon this amount
"Cuba was taxed in time of peace 244
"per cent. The population at that time
"was !, ,359, 23S, so that the taxes collected
"by Spain in time of peace amounted to
{. the sum of $3.50 upon each man, woman
"and child. At that date, however, there
"were 368, $50 slaves who paid no taxes,
L" and 225, 900 freedmen who were exempt,
because they owned no taxable property,
so that the taxes were, in reality, paid
"by 76O, 600 of the white population, at
"the rate of $44.25 each. The Home Gov
" eminent has officially announced that the
"war in the island has cost $3.50, 900, 900,
"and all this has been paid by Cuba in
addition to what she has paid for the ex-
"penses of the war in Spain with Don
Carlos"
But since tie rebellion Of the Cubans,
and the establishment by them of an indie
pendent republic on the island, the Spanish
authorities have been making forced loans
upon the planters and shipping merchants
of untold amounts, until the accumulated
wealth of both these classes is nearly ex-
hausted. Meanwhile the Cubans are de-
vastating the plantations of the Spanish
sympathizers to curtail or stop production,
because by such means alone can they cut
off the sinews of war from Spain and disa-
BILE her from further prosecution of hos
tilities. When she can no longer exact
tribute from Cuba the war will cease, and
not until then, unless it is Influenced by
outside interference in favor of the Cubans
1t is probably fair to assume that more than
one half of the annual millions exacted
from the Cubans by Spain in support of her
despotism are paid by the consumers of
sugar, molasses, coffee, tobacco, cigars, &C.,
in the United States. For each new tax
assessed an advance is put upon the prices
of the articles exported. We are the
largest consumers in the world of Cuban
products, and it is safe to say that the
present war has during the last seven years
added three cents to the cost Of each pound
of sugar and thirty-th three and third per
cent. to the cost of all the other articles
that we consume which are the productions
of Cuba.
1t is not strange that our people are be-
coming restive under this indirect tax. 1t
bears with great and direct pressure upon

ever from any prospect Of extinguishing the
resurrection. It also recognizes the fact that
the Madrid Government has allowed the win
ter to come "without even attempting to strike
at the centre of the Carlist strength" !" and 1t
closes its article with the following pertinent
suggestion: 81
II the Oortss, the elections for which, according
to the latest reports from Msdrid will be held on
the goth Of December, should be real represent
atfve Assembly, It Is to be hoped that some M m
bers may be found in 1t bold enough 90 say-there
will be many assuredly keen enough to see-thst
It Is better to abandon q distant dependency,
which can never be governed, save by military
power, than, By dividing the strength Of the ma;
tion, to incur the risk, at any rate for years, OF
dismembering Spain. Colonial Empire may be
worth fighting for. but II Is despicsble posses.
sion compared with national unity.
The United States is patiently waiting for
some such consummation as this. One of two
things is certain. Spain must lose Cuba either
by abandonment of the war or BY actual de-
feat, and that, too, at no very distant day.
Every effort grows feebler and feebler, and
every effort also diminishes the productive re-
sources of Cuba, which alone enable the Al
consists to keep Don Carlos out of Madrid.

Destiny Of Cuba.

(From the Chicago Tripune.J
The London Times takes very intelligent
view of the relations between Spain and the
United States. It scouts the idea that the
American Government has any intention OF
annexational interference first, because there
never was time when the United States were
so little disposed to meddle with their neigh
bors' affairs as now; and second, because po-
htical complications will not allow of 1t at
present. In nearly all respects the Times takes
the same view of the Cuban situation as our
own Government. 1t shows that England is as
tired of the Spanish attempt to put down the
insurrection as the United States. Says the
Times:
More than once the war-which those who
wage IL pretend not to recognize as var-has gone
near TO involving Spain into trouble and probably
n she had been less pitiably feeble she would be-
fore now have drawn upon her the anger Of one
Of the maritime Powers by her reckless and, as
yet futile efforts TO suppress the resistance Of her
Cuban subjects.
II recognizes the fact that after years of fight
ing the Government Of Madrid is just as far as

to each pound of coffee and fifteen to each
gallon of molasses, and five cents at least
to each imported cigar. And this money
goes to pay the expenses of the war against
the Patriots in Cuba, and to support the
most corrupt and profigate Court in
Europe. How long shall we be obliged to
submit to this policy, and not even iac-
knowledge little, weak, but brave sister
