How About that Further Communica-
fiou

The President has taken so kindly to
our recommendations of late, apparently
extending TO us that degree of confidence
90 which we feel entitled fIom HIM, that
we venture TO invite his attention to an
other matter. We are painfully conscious
how much he must have been worried by
domcsticaflairso of late. II ha- been said that
"uncasy lies the head that wears CROWN"
but the Presidents head has lain so uneasy
OF late. that we rather think hc would b.
of opinion that a crown would case II. IL
may not seem entirely kind, considering
the troubles that environ the White House,
that we should further distract the mind
of the President with foreign Affairs but
we cannot help it, Time flies. which, being
translated, means tcmpUs fdJii, and We
must do our duty, or ut least or endeavors.
1t ia now the 18th day of April. just four
months ago to-day, on Dec. Z, 1Si5. President
GRANT sent in to Congress message con-
tanning representation of things in Cuba
as most deplorable, concluding in the fol-
lowing terms:

If that further communication is to be

have to be made soon. We lelieve the
condition of Cuba has not improved.

which he prints daily ON his otherwise able

The recent capture Of Matamoras by
Mexican revolutionlsts under the lead of Gen
PoRFIRIo DIAz is believed TO be movement
looking TO making that soldier President OF
Mexico at the regular election which occurs in
July next. Within the past year Ave army
chiefs have revolted against the present Gov
eminent OF President LERDo, who has defeated
three OF them. The political party represented
by these leaders is known as the radical Liberal
party, and 1t is understood that the great major
ity Of that faction favor DIAz as tho SUCCESSOR
Of LERDo. DIAz, who has evidently been
close observer of United States politics. has
seen how effectively President GRANT has used
the bayonet TO control elections, aud his occu-
patton Of Matamoras has probably been effected
for the purpose of controlling the July elections
In the State of Tam lupas, just as GRANT occu-
pied New Orleans with Federal tro OPS In order
TO keep the State OF Louisiana In til hands Of
his partisan supporters.

1t has been great blessing TO the I'M

of coal Is SO high, that the past winter has been
very mid. We trust, too. considering the high
rates OF taxation, that President GRANT has
been able TO economic In his coal bills. Last
year we had very severe winter, and tie hills
charged for fuel for the Executive Mansion-a
building about the Size OF eentleman's ordi-
nary country residence-amounted, we believe,
TO 5000 a sum which was disbursed by the viz
tuous BABCOCK. We would remark. however,
that 1t is the United States, and not the Presi-
dent, who pays for the fuel used in tho White

Some of the independent newspapers are

likely to commit to counteract the effects of tho
recent disclosures OF cOrru1ton IN the Admin

pecting, though we cannot believe, VIII Atever
the committee may do, that the House Of Rep
resentatives will AID in so transp rent job.

A criminal case Of more than usual in-

coin, In England, on March ~. WILLIAM HAIR
ROD, only eleven yeas Of age, was srragned for
the wilfui murder OF a boy named HEBBLE-

deDce that the prisoner left HIS grandmothe

theory was not entitled TO much consideration.
