The HeTold's Madrid special reports
that the Spanish government has sent

/ American circular on Cuban affairs
| Tae reply is quite bellig gerent in tone,

raised by the United States. The note

ton; that instead Of having been dinir.
ished, it hss in reality increased, and ID
cor s.antly increasingly &c the United

complaint, and no tensble ground for its

affairs or troubles existingin Cuba. At
tention Is also called to the fact that
many American citizens have estab-

islsnd, and being unmolested by
| the Spanish government, have
! gained large Individual fortunes.
| These fortunes have not added to the
national wealth Of the island, being en-.
tireIy in foreign hands. The territory
Of the United States is constant refuge
for Cuban outlaws, who ere permitted
to hatch conspiracy, to the detriment
and irjqry Of the Spanish government,
In this the laws of nations are out
ragged All just and equitable claims be.
tween the United States and Cuba have
been amicably aud fully satisfied, or are
in course0 adjustment; therefore there
can be no cause for complaint on that
score. The Spanish note Is believed to
be the work Of Senor Jovellar.

IMPORTANT SUPREME COURT BEGIsIONs
The supreme court decision in the case
of Milton US. the State Of Missouri is
thst the State cannot compel peddleT
to pay license for selling articles pro-
duced in other States, on the ground that
it is tax on the goods themselves,
discrimination against the products OF
other States, and is in conflict with that
clause of the Federal constitution which
declares that congress shall have power
to regulate commerce with foreign na-
tiCns among the several States.
THOSE INSTRUCTIONS TO LOUISIANA.
The instructions sent to District-At-
torney BeckWith, of Louisiana, by At
torney. General Pierpont, are alto gether
general in their character, and such as
would be sent to any United States at
torney in districts where violations Of
law are reported to the national suthori-
ties.
WHAT SECRETARY FISH KNOWS ABOUT
CUBAN AFFAIRS.
Secretary Fish was to-day before the
house committee on foreign affairs, by
invitation, and in general terms in
formed the committee OF the present
condition of the Cuban question. He
did not specifically state the terms OF the
circular recently addressed to foreign ma
tiOns on that subject, but intimated that
it merely asked their moral support in
the event of mediation or Intervention
by the United States. Abiding to re-
cent Madrid telegram, giving an outline
of Spain's reply to the American circu-
lar, ne said he did not regard its tone as
unfriendly. As to the negotiations now
In progress, they were conducted in
conciliatory spirit on both sides, and cer-
tainly without threats on the part of the
United States; and he hoped that the
negotiations would terminate satisfac-
torily. He was willing that the corre-
spondence should be laid before the
house, and this would be done should
thst body call for it. Subsequently q
resolution was passed calling for the COR
respondence, which will soon be commu-
nicated by the President to the house.
MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
Chicago Times.I
WASHINGTON, January 1.-THE ar
rival Of Mr.. Lamar has given a new
impulse to the Mississippi ENHANCEMENT
which Pinchback-Morton has drawn up
for the confusion Of the ex- -Confederstes
in the senate. Blsine's essay on the
bloody-shirt business rather blocked
Morton's game in the senate end of the
capitol. Hence the delay on the senate
size. Blaine, however, struck the sig
nal for war to recOmmence in his allu-
sion to the Democratic purpose to inn
peach a1d expel the shiity Ames. Upon
this the cry will be sounded in the SEN
ate and MOrton's hypothetic horrors set
forth with the same ghaetly purpose
which Blaine displayed in the house.
The Mississippi Democrats have been
awaiting Lamar's return before COM
bining against the Morton aggression.
They are confident of coming out Of the
contest greatly strengthened, since the
examination will show, and on the tes-
timODy Of Republicans, that nothing
like fraud or intimidst had been per-
petTated, and that Motions whole pur-
pose was q shameless campaign
cock and bull project for the
subversiOn OF the State control
One Of the Democratic men,
bers from Mississippi, who is familiar
with the campaign in the State, and
who is also a trusted counselor in the
delegation, declares that the recent let
ter Of Morris, copied into the Times, re-
fleets the sentiments of the State among
respectable Republicans. Morris was
formerly attOrney-general and a strict
partisan. Mr.. Morton's idea, he de-
clares, is first to produce a campaign
that will be favorable to his party in the
Presidential canvass. In the second
place it is desperate effort to retain the
senate in the interest of the Republican
party. 1t is evident from what has oc-
CURED in the past in the election for con-
gre Jsmen that the next United States
senate will be Democratic. The specific
action to be- taken by the Democrats re-
gsrding the proposed investigation is 8
denial of the power Of the senate to ap-
point q committee to go down and in
vagfi0ata fha ainofi0O in that State Tho
