THE note Of Secretary Fish of November
9Th on Spanish affairs, while it contains no
new facts, sets forth in clear light the pre-
else nature of our complaints against Spain.
The Secretary relates three separate griev-
ances: the seizure and confiscation of Amer
leans estates in Cuba without due process of
law and the trial of such citizens by court
martial, in violation of treaty obligations; a
failure to carry out the agreement made in
regard to the Virginius affair, especially in
the matter Of Burrieps trial; aud delay, if
not an inability, to bring to an end the war
in Cuba, and the injury to American com.
merce consequent thereon. The Secretary
shows that the course of Spain on all these
questions has Eeen one of evasion, of promise
without performance. Admitting the illegal
ity of the confscation of American estates,
no measures have been taken to prevent it,
but on the other hand the proceeds of such
confiscations have been used by Spain.
Though satisfying in part our demands in the
Virginius affair by the payment of the stipu-
lated indemnity, Burriei and his associates
are still unpunished for their crimes. With
regard to the war in Cuba, all overtures of
the United States looking to the pacifcation
Of the colony have been refused except on
impossible conditions. A copy of this note
has been furnished to the European powers,
and the Secretary is at present awaiting their
opinions,

of religious federation is the workmanship of
Democratic hands and the fruit of Democrat
ic policy; which means, of course, that the
Democrats of New Hampshire are exclusively
responsible for the fact that New Hampshire
is the only state in the Union which excludes
men from holding Office because of their re-
ligion. That is the Democratic scheme of
religious federation.
Personally, Ben Hill is but an migrate; but
as representative of that large class now
controlling most of the reconstructed states,
bis words convey to the people of the North
the warning lesson that the Democratic party
now contains within its body the same hatred
OF the free North, the same devotion to seces-
sion, and the same purpose to bend the gov
ernment to the purposes of the South in as
strong degree before or during the war.
Can the North yet afford to surrender the
control of the government to the spirit of hate
and of secession so boldly ayowed by the con-
federate leader, Hill, as the spokesman for
the South ?-Chicago Tribune.
Whatever may be the ultimate fate of the
amnesty bill, one thing is settled: Blaine
has shown his right to be recognized as the
leader Of the minority in the House, and he
has demonstrated the fact that there is no
man on the Democratic side of the House
able, successfully, to handle him. Leader
ship is cheerfully conceded to Blaine by his
Republican associates. The Democrats, on
the other hand, have a series of internal
quarrels as to who shall be leader. One after
another has tried it and failed. Wood, Ran
dali, Cox, Lamar, have all in turn been van
pushed by Blaine. The Democrats have
been defeated in their most cherished party
measure, and with full working majority
in the House, they have allowed nearly two
morths of the session to pass away without
doing anything Washington Dispatch to

The Temperance Convention.

To the Editor of the Press:
see in your iseue of the goth the following
paragraph:
There will be sharp conflict between the
two wings tomorrow on the question of legiS.
lation. 1t is understood that Messzs. Dingley,
Nye and Shorey prefer to let the law stand as
it is, but Gen. Dow and few others, including
a number of reformers, want more law. There
is some feeling on the part Of the latter.
There was no sharp conflict between the
"two wings"-there are no two wings among
the temperance men; any one who thinks so is
mistaken.
Messrs Dingley, Nye and Shorey did not pre-
fer to let the law stand as it is. Mr.. Dngley
and Mr.. Shorey are in favor of some very i'm
portint additions to the statutes, and Mr.. Nye
is in favor of a sufficient measure. Messrs
Shorey and Nye are of committee from the
grant society of the Good Templars, for the
purpose of urging further legislation, and the
convention proper was thoroughly in favor Of
it.
In your issue of the 21ss is the following par
agraph;
In the evening Mr.. Dow consented that his
name should be used. This was conciliatory
measure. The most radical wing of the con.
vention was defeated at every point except
this.
In the evening the convention reconsdered
the matter of the committee appointed in the
afternoon, and appointed new com mittee
unanimously. The most radical wing was
not defeated at any point, for the convention
was an unit in its desire for the effectual sup
preston of the manufacture and sale of intox-
icating liquors,
The address of the convention to the people
of Maine contained in every line expressions
in relation to the liquor traffic, which some
persons may consider the extreme of radical
ism," and it was adopted unanimously. The
speech of the Governor at the opening of the
convention was as dignifed, perfect and manly
in its way, as any one ever heard. 1t was
put in the choicest terh> and replete with
elevated sentiments and was perfectly adapted
to the circumstances and the time, and was in
entire harmony with the feelings and views of
the whole convention. 1t was not the speech
OF politician, but of man thoroughly in ac.
cord with every movement calculated and in
tended to promote the welfare of the people
and the prosperity of the state.
