From Yesterdays Evening Edition.l
The Morning Press.

The Bee, In discussing tho question OF
the future of the colored people in
the South, takes the same ground
heretofore assumed by the DEMO
GRAFT and itself, and commends the re-
cent utterances Of Senator Bruce, OF
Mississippi, in relation to the duplic-
ity and selfish aims of the carpet-bag-
gers. 1t advises the colored people of
Louisiana to follow his advice, and
warns them that the impending CAM
paign in this State offers them last
chance to make peace with the whites.
The Republican thinks the road co for
tune by impeachment Is long ore,
with u more than doubtful termination.
It seems to think that the Democrats
and Conservatives have estopped them
selves from impeaching him by the ac-
ccptance of the Wheeler compromise.
It insists that all financial and other
reforms hitherto effected have been the
work of the Republican party.
THE Times makes long personal OK
PLANTATION i'm regard to recent charges
brought against its chief editor. The
eNplttuttlOH lS I'lttuSlDlc, DiJ ZIG 5uDllC
will wait for the presentation Of the
report of the House Committee charged
with the investigation Of the matter,
and will then judge between the Times
and it's accusers.
It urges the adoption by the Senate Of
the premium bond bill.
Tho Picdy,ne thinks that party
which desires to control the Gene
raj Government must depend for final
success upon series of compromises
and concessions. It says that IL nomi-
nations are controlled by professional
politicians, it is the fault of the people
themselves, who will not attend proper
ly to their political duties. It believes
that the greatest obstacle to free and
unbiased choice of candidates is the inn
mense power Of official patronage.
The Bulletin says it looks very much
as II our National Democratic friends
were wearied Of us and proposed to stand
aloof from Louisiana in the present and
the future, and that therefore we should
counsel together as to what Is best to be
done-relying upon ourselves alone.
1t urges the passage of the premium
bond bill and Of other measures calcu-
lated to relieve taxpayers of a part Of
their heavy burdens.

SPANISH AFFAIRS.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs has
sent a memorandum, dated the Sd of
February, to the Spanish representa-
tives abroad, instructing them to read it
to foreign Ministers, or to leave a copy
ii requested
The memorandum, after pointing out
that the instruction was no longer led
by natives Of the Island, but by foreign
adventures, continues: Negroes, mu-
lattoes, Chinese and deserters form the
bulk OF the insurgent forces.
Their army contains scarcely 800 white
Cubans, while more than AZ, 900 Of the lat
ter are serving with the Royal volun-
teers. Spain cannot come to any terms
with such elements. She can only, after
having obtained complete victory, grant
to Cuba all the liberties which, but for
the Instruction, she would already pos
sess, and which the neighboring island
OF Porto Rico, where slavery has been
entirely abolished, fully enjoys.
Reinforcements numbering 5000 men
have been dispatched to Cuba within
twelve months.
The duration Of the instruction is in
of the difficulties OF
the country. Notwithstanding the in
trade in Cuba has : doubled
during ten years. The more fertile
parts Of the island are untouched by the
and only few districts
have suffered from it. All foreigners

Of expenditure in Bosnia and Herzego-

resolved not to submit to Turkish rule.

hands of the Democrats until the next
election There Is disposition on tne
part OF some to impeach Kellogg WIN

ing compromise member, I'VE prefer
Antoine as Governor, without the Re,
turning Board than Kellogg with IL;
This explains itself Evidently the sub
iect has already been discussed.
WHAT GOVERNOR KELLOGG SAYS.
Tn n conversation with Gov Kellogg,
he stated to your correspondent That ne
Ind not the least idea that the Demo-
crafts would resort to extreme measures:
Such n course would be violation or
the Wheeler compromise, and would DO
no good: besides, as there was differ
ence of opinion regarding the meaning
of the law concerning the succession, IL
is natural to suppose the Federai GOV
eminent would construe 1t as he does,
Governor Kellogg claims thai, In
accordance with article So of the con.
stitution and section 1900 Of the Revised
Statutes, his impeachment. would not
help the Democrats, since the law pro
yides that the Senate shall elect presl-
dent of that body, who would become
Governor. He would, OF course, be u
Republican. On the other hand, the
Democrats make distinction between
the word vacancy" mentioned in the
law and mere Suspension.
A LEADING DEMOCRATS VIEW.
Conversing with leading Democrat,
he expressed the conviction. that the
proceeding would be attended with no
Violence; that even. though Kellogg
wished to appeal to the strong arm oil
the poyern,nent he could not base II on
q physical conflict, as 1t is well known
that the police will not fight the 18th OF
September over again. Besides the APP
peal would have to be made at this time
through Congress, and it Is not to be
supposed that the Democratic House OF
Representatives would lend the bayonets
of the government to Kellogg.

Tho Central Committees Address.

The address OF the State Central Com
mittce, which was adopted at the
meeting held on Monday night. meets
with our entire approval, with the single
exception that while it appears to
assume that the Radical party will
maintain the Returning Board, it does not
proclaim in tones sufficiently resolute
and distinct the unalterable determine
ton OF the Democratic Conservative
masses never again to allow themselves
70 be cheated out of the fruits OF an
election.
It is perhaps well enough as q matter
Of policy for dignified body like the
State Central Committee to make q
semblance of q meek and peaceful dis
position in the face of intolerable out
rage and wrong but our oppressors may
as well understand, once for all. that the
white people of this State fully realize
that the issues Of the coming campaign
will be such as to awaken in them every
instinct Of self-preseryation and to nerve
them to q final and desperate struggle
for emancipation from further subiec-
ton to pillage and political tyranny.
Hitherto. they have been somewhat I'M
nerved by the well-meant but unwise
counsel of timid friends who have urged
them to subordinate their own crying
necessities to a policy OF expediency
dictated to them by the Northern Demo-
cracy but the time for such trifling with
the honor and dearest rights Of the peo-
pic has passed. The ultimatum OF the
Democratic and Conservative masses and
their shibboleth i'm the next campaign
will be- We will maintain our rights

New ORLEANS, Feb. 8.-The Democrats
and Conservatives are firm in their de
termination, and will consent to no
proposition short OF the adjustment of

they are a unit, the only difference ex-
listing being as to the manner Of remov-
ing Kellogg. The suspension OF the
Governor and his Lieutenant by bring
ing articles OF impeachment against
them would place the Speaker of the

In letter to a member of Congress,
of date May "a, the Commissioner Of
Indian Affairs, giving his views upon
the effects likely to result from the
great reductions made in the Indian
appropriations, in the bill lately PASSED
by the House, says:
Equally dangerous, in my opinion,
is the reduction proposed by the com
mittee in the appropriation for the
Apaches of Arizona and New Mexico
The appropriation last year was $3.50,
900, and a threatened outbreak at one
of the agencies in New Mexico was
averted only by a deficiency appropria-
ton of $4,000, while another deficien-
cy appropriation of $4,000 was maze
for the Apaches in Arizona. The total
appropriation, therefore, for the present
year has been S525,0O0 If any change
should be made in the estimate for the
service here it should be il the line Of
increase rather than decrease. The
Indians to be subsisted from this ap-
preparation number 9,24S. Merely to
ration them through the year, owing
TO the high prices necessarily paid in
Arizona and New Mexico on account
of the lack of transportation facilities,
would cost nearly 100000, while, If
the reduction proposed by the commit
tee i'm the incidental fund for those two
Territories is carried out, the wording
of the bill must be so changed as to
provide for the support of five other
agencies at which are cOngregaJed %,
010 Indians. Some of these Indians
required To be subsisted throughout
the year, most of which expense has
hitherto been met by the incidental
fund of the two Territories. Such re-
duction would result in great danger
to the frontier, and depreciation and
murder might fairly be expected.
In regard to the incidental expenses
of the Indian service | cannot too
strongly express my hope that more
liberal appropriations will be made by
Congress than are recommended in the
bill. For this purpose the Office re-
ceived last year S3j0,000 The es-
Inmates this year are for $4,000. No
provision other than that from the in
cidental fund is made in the bill for
three agencies in Arizona, for all Of
the agencies in California, Nevada, and
Utah, for two agencies in New Mexico,
for two in Washington Territory, and
for three in Oregon.

From The New York Tribune

J. Donald Cameron, the new recip-
lent Of the portfolio of War, is the
eldest son of Senator Simon Cameron
of Pennsylvania. He was born in
Harrisburg and is now about forty
eight years of age, though he appears
To be much younger. He has taken
but little interest in politics until with
in the last ten years, when he has
begun to profit by his fathers expert
ence in the management of Legislatures
and conventions, and has proved sue
cessful student in that school of poll
tics. He is a shrewd and daring lead
er. and troubles himself little over con
sequences. He has never aimed to-
populariZe himself, even in his party,
and discards all sentiment as an instru-
mentality in governing men. He has
never held political office, and never
aspired to one, with the single excep-
ton of seat in General Grants Cab
met several years ago, when his failureI
caused an arrangement between the
President and the Camerons, which
has been recently healed.
For a number of years Mr.. Cameron
was President Of the Northern Central
railway of Pennsylvania, in which
position he was succeeded by Colonel
Thomas A. Scott, when the managers
of the Pennsylvania railroad obtained
a controlling interest in the Northern
Central. He was a prominent member
of the last State Convention, which
met at Harrisburg in March, and was
bv it selected as the head of the Penn
sylvania delegation to the Presidential
Convention at CinCinnsu. NOtwith-
standing his brief experience in poll
ties Don " Cameron, as he is univer-
sally called, is regarded as one of the
shrewdest and most influential poll
ticians in Pennsylvania. He is man
of ability, and possesses administrative.
powers of a high order For some
years past he has entertained an ambi-
ton for a seat in the Cabinet, which he
has at last reached.

As sad as earth, as sweet as Heaveni
