CUR OITY TREASURER HONORED

On Saturday last Mr.. Francis Vim
cent received a letter from the Secretary of
the Golden Reform Club, in London, Eng
land, announcing that he (Mr. Vincent) :,
had been elected an honorary member of
the above-named club. The letter is signe
by the Secretary, Thomas Bailey Potter,
who expresses hope that Mr.. V. VIM per-
nit his name to be placed npon the list of
honorary members. This compliment to
Mr.. Vincent is doubtless due to his having
written for the club in 1869, an essay,
which has since become justly celebrated,
recommending an Anglo Saxon Contedera-
tion, by the unity of the American Union
and the British Empire, and the Federal
Union of the World under one Government.
This essay has since been supported by both
the American and European press, and has
been translated into the French and Ger
man languages, which shows that our

ned out Tomorrow.
WASHINGTON, D. G., Dec. 12.-Various
statements have been made to the purpose
ot calling the House Democratic Caucus to-
morrow. It is believed that more import
ance has been given to this than the occa
sion iustifies. The leading Democrats think
It would be rather early yet to undertake to
map out any general line of policy. It is
:, ought it will be time enough
to tall, of legislation after the
committee are appointed. 1t may
he that some members will feel called upon
to present political propositions tomorrow,
hut if such are handed in the disposition
will be to lay it on the table for the pres
,1f. Of course it is impossible to say with
certainty that political discussion can be
presented, but the hopes of those who are
]. j,ers among the Democrats are in that
Dissection. The principal thing that is pro-
posed to be done tomorrow is to provide for
lie appointment of committee with the
power to call meetings of the caucus in the
u'ure, and to present subjects for conside-
II ion.
After awhile there will be conferences of
lo h the House and Senate Democrats, in
the hope of arriving at some definite pro-
gramme as to the legislation and the gene
raj policy of the Democratic party in Con-
grnss.
The leading Democrats anticipate consid
erable difficulty in the way OF reaching
harmonious conclusion, they believe, how
ever, that ultimately oil the members of
the party will be willing to surrender their
Individual opinions when the crisis comes.
A number of the members of both Houses
are in favor of adjourning over the holi-
dsvs before Friday the day on which the
! visit will be made to the Centennial grounds
at Philadelphia. The movement to

Saturday night young man sat beneath
window on King street where resided his
loved one, and tuned his light guitar to the
sweet notes, "Silver Threads Among the

deep bass voice shouted "youg man, If you
don't leave with your gold and silver
threads, will give you some lead threads
to mix in with the gold and silver In the
shape of No. 6 shot, from this blunderbuss.
Silence ensued at once.
When the plate was passed around In one

basket and looked another way to obey the

punched him in the ribs and when he look

basket. It was faro chip.

The spanairds Severe With Grant.

HAVANA, Dec. 12.-The Voz De Cuba
commenting on that part of the Presidents
message which relates to Cuba, says Gen.
Grants language seems to have been chosen
to wound the suscc cptibilities of the Span
iards. He seems too like playing with fire.
He does not know the temperature of the
Spaniards any more than Napoleon did.
The Diaro censures the tone of the mes
sage which was published while negotia
tions were pending between the United
States and Spain. 1t praises faithfully the
Presidents refusal so acknowledge the in
surgents as heligercnts and says that the
part of the message relating to Spain is stu
diously obscure. Finally the Diaro at the
conclusion of two columns and half OF
criticism says eve believe Grant has dis
gustad the insurgents and he has wounded
Spanish pride in his unfounded operations.
His entire message is contrary to the spirit
of the entireAmerican people, who eminent
ly desire peace, and has satisfied no one."
