Our SDanish Relations.

A Washington dispatch says the present
distinctive point at issue between the United
States and Spain, 10 stated in non official
but usually we'll informed circles as follows
The United States ask, first, that in fu-
ture all American citizens in Cuba accused
of violation Of law shall be tried by the
civil court, and not by military tribunals,
with all the rights in such cases as are Sc
cured by the seventh article of the treaty of
1895; and second, that all sentences where
American citizens have heretofore been
tried by military tribunals shall be annulled.
Spain in some degree comedies the claim
of the United States to the first proposition,
agreeing that in the future American citi,
zens accused of the violation Of law shall
be tried by the ordinary tribunals, with the
right to be heard by counsel, to summon
witnesses, and to employ all other necessary
safeguards to the accused, but with the res
ervation that all such trials shall be accord
ing to the law of 1921, which provides fol
more expeditions proceedings than those o
the civil courts for common crime in tint
of peace. She also offers to revise all sen
tenccs passed by courts-martial on Ameri
can citizens where it shall be satisfactoril,
shown that such sentences were in violation
of established law. This reply is unsatis
factory to the United States, which take
the ground that American citizens accuse,
of crime cannot be tried by courts martial
but are entitled to trial before civil tribunal
only, as secured by treaty stipulatons
without such reservation as is proposed b
Spain

A Mysterious Malady.

A Springfield young lady of Boston, who
injured her spine four or five years ago by
coasting accident, has since that time ex-
hibited some extraordinary abnormal
symptoms, which make her case one Of un-
usual interest. She is subject to strange
variety Of attacks, all due, doubtless, to
one general cause, yet queer enough to be
classed as phenomenal. Sometimes she is
blind again she is stricken with deaf
ness subsequently, recovering both these
Senses she will sing and play, with ease
and dexterity, which, it; is declared, were
impossible to her before her conduct. TO
day she may be in apparently good health ;
tomorrow she may become helpless, and
remain bed-ridden for weeks. A partisu-
larly distressing form Of her malady is the
closing up of her throat, so that she can
only take liquid food, and that by pouring
it through tube. On one occasion she re-
ceived gentleman caller with much cor
diality and grace, and then Immediately
got down on all tours and crawled under
the table, refusing for some time to speak
or stir yet she is not considered insane,
as her mind is most Of the time perfect and
clear. During her singular illness, she
has acquired great love for morphine
which she now eats in large quantities
Strange to say she seems to thrive and
grow fat upon.it, says the Union, and there
is probably no girl Of Is in Springfield
who is fairer or more attractive in person
than she, in spite of this habit and the
many and severe trials she has becn called
to pass through. How her malady will
end, or what new and strange form it will
assume, no one can predict.

The case or Pinchback.

A correspondent of the New YORK !fi-
bune sends to that paper the following
from Washington:
1t is expected that as soon as Senators
Dorsey, Sharon, Alcorn and Jones arrive
here, and are firmly established in their
seats. the case of Mr.. Pinchback will be
taken up and disposed of. The case has
assumed new phase since the withdrawal
of Mr.. Mcmillan, who claimed the seat on
Nc cEnery's credentials, and Administration
people say that now Mr.. Pinchback will
receive almost the entire Republican vote
of the Senate for his admission. They
argue that if Mr.. Pinchback is rejected.
Louisiana will be hopelessly Democratic,
and will be as sure for the next Demo-
cratic candidate for President as Geor-
gia or Kentucky; that his re-
lection will bea throwing away to the
Democracy of the last Southern State but
one, and that one (meaniug South Caroli-
na) they think Gov. Chamberlain means
soon to turn over to them, so that the De-
mocracy will enter the next campaign
with the certainty of having the support
of every State south of Mason and Dlxons
line for their candidate. They say that
the Republican party is on fair vote,
Justly entitled to South Carolina, Alabama,
Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi; but
if they sit still and allow matters to 60 on
as they have, as instanced in the recent
case Of Mississippi, the Republican party
will not have an electoral vote from the
south in the next campaign. Hence they
intend making the case OF Mr.. Pinchbach
the beginning of determined effort to re-
gain what they claim belongs to them in
the South.

Memory Of ..Frank Forr sster.''

N. Y. Herald Of yesterday. v
Yesterday, in room No. Ill Asto'
House, meeting Of sporting gentlemen
took place, the object being to erect mon-
ument or otherwise pay honor to the men,
ory of Henry William Herbert, known by
his writings as frank Forester" Per
haps no writer on field sports and athletic
exercises claimed 80 great share OF popu-
lar attention as the author named. Not
only did lie instruct wisely in all matters
appertaining to the road and gun, but there
was charm in his style and an enthusiasm
apparent in all he wrote that infected his
readers with the same love Of the chase he
felt himself His sad and romantic death
added to the interest Of his works, and now
it seems that friendship, although tardy in
its offerings, is about to embalm his men,
ory in enduring marble, or otherwise pre-
serve his name to all lovers of manly exer.
cises.
At the meeting yesterday Mr.. Hum
phries briefly introduced the object Of the
meeting, and proposed that Mr.. Raymond
should take the chair and that DR.. Salters
should act as secretary. Adopted. As the
sportsmen present only intended that pub
lie attention should be called to the move
ment committee of five gentlemen was
appointed by resolution to devise the best
plan to carry out the object of the meet
ing. The following were named:-Colo-
mel Thomas Picton, Mr.. Eaton, Green
Smith, DR.. Rowe and Mr.. Julian Scott, the
first named gentleman being chosen chair
man of the committee, who are to make a
report next Monday, at two P. NJ, at the
same place. 1t is proposed that The name
of the body shall be the Frank Forester
Memorial Association"

:n the table in the front room. The
children commenced playing with it and
Mccarthy was showing them how the trig.
ger worked and gave it to little Myers
who pulled it, and shot Mccarthy in the
left .:groin. Medical assistance was al
once sent for, It when the police surgeon
reached the lises the lad was dead
The boy Myers was taken to the station
house, but was at once sent home again or

chors and crosses. After the services.
which were very solemn, were concluded,
the remains were taken to Greenwood
Cemetery and placed in the family vault.

New Lawyer In the BabcOek Case.
N. Y. Tribune.

The Hon. James O. Broadhead, who is
understood to have accepted the Govern
ment's retainer in the st. Louis whisky
cases, is one of the ablest Democratic law
yers of that city. He was a Union man,
an active friend of Blair, member of the
Union Safety Committee" at the outbreak
ing of the war, and afterward Provost Mar
shall under President Lincoln, and in that
capacity he was very much disliked by
Confederate sympathizers. With the Blair
party he went over to the Democracy, and
for more than ten years has acted with that
party, and it was to him, as his especial
friend, that Gen. Frank P. Blair addressed
his revolutionary letter in 1868. Duling
the last year, Col. Broadhead has been a
Democratic member of the State COnstitu-
tional Convention. As is an able man,
and his unmeasured denunciation Of Presi-
dent Grants interference in Louisiana,
when General Sheridan took possession of
the representatives. Hall, attracted gen.
aral attention. 1t is hardly probable that
he would be predisposed TO deal lightly
with crimes of any near the White House,
and the President may hear harsher lam
guage from him than he will relish.
In the selection of successor to NJ. Hen
derson, therefore, the President has done
what he could to satisfy the country that
the cnange of counsel has not designed to
shield Gen. Babcock. The difficulty is,
that no new prosecutor, no yever able, can
acquire within the short time allowed,
that familiarity with the voluminons and
complicated evidence which Mr.. Hender-
son haa gained by constant participation
in the investigation since the appointment
of the present District Attorney. In thar
respect the prosecution would have been
weakened. no matter who had been select
ed. But Col. Dyer, the District Attorney,
is lawyer of force and energy, and unless
the President means to have it generally
believed that he intends to screen Babcock
by means wholly indefensible, he will not
cause any change in that Office. We are
glad that the President has done what he
could to lessen the effect Of his
grave blunder in the removal of Mr..
Henderson, and presume that he Will not
make another still more injurious to his
reputation while this case is pending.
The Morning herald., 1875-12-15
Henderson and His Position.


Gen. Henderson took his removal from
the charge of the whisky cases almost with
indifference. He reiterated to reporter
of the St. Louis Republican his denial that
he made any assault on the President. "In
commenting" he added, "on the causes of
our nations ills. deprecated the system
Of government which makes any officer,
however humble, subservient to another,
however high. declared that when an
officer recognized any other master than
the law, he was derelict in his duty and
treacherous to his trusts. Mr.. Douglass
had testified that the President interfered
with him in the discharge Of duties for
which he (Dougass) alone was responsible,
and in reviewing this testimony I stated
that the President had no business
to submit to it. If this plain
assertion of what any honest and candid
mind must recognize as fac, was an as
sault on the President, or an outrage on
professional propriety, then I must plead
a want Of comprehension Of those terms.
For such statement as that l have no
apology to make" General Henderson
said he was glad to be relieved from the
duties of prosecuting, since he is quite
worn out with his efforts. He intends tc
make no public explanation, but will write
short letter at his leisure to the author
ties at Washington. When asked if he
thought new man could take up the
work and carry it on with equal success
he replied, Certainly I do. | think
there are many lawyers in this city who
could make far better showing than
could do" District-Attorney Dyers
comment on the removal was: "Well,
think Henderson can stand it if President
Grant can" About Gen. Babcock, he
said: "If General Babcock is not guilty
he has succeeded, beyond anybody ! ever
knew, in making it look as if he knew
what was going on, though, of course, it is
impossible that he may be able to explain
things satisfactorily.
