BY trustworthy advices from Madrid
we learn that In view OF the terrible raw
ages which the yellow fever has lately
made In the ranks Of the Spanish army
In Cuba, the Government has determined
not TO commence the shipment Of the
promised reenforcements to Its army In that
COLONY until after the 1st OF November next.
Omclh advices from Havana to the Home Gov
eminent state that the Losses OF the army by
yellow fever alone from the lat Of inuary TO the
It OF July this wear, sum up over 5000 men. As
this disease Is more fatal Ia the months OF July,
August, September and October than In any
other months OF the year, 1t Is slfe to estimate
the total deaths In the Spanish army this year
from this cause alone at 1900. To these must
De adj led the killed and wounded In action and
the invaded. A person ATTACKED in Cuba with
yellow fever, even II the attack should not prove
Immediately fatal, requires a convalescence,
even under favorable circumstances, Of at least
six months before he Is At for any work.
The reenforcemcnts asked for by Captain. Gen.
eral JovELLAR In March last. and which Spain
promised to send to Cuba next month, were
originally set down at 1900 men. This Azure
has dwindled down already to 1900, which, II
sent would not sufice to replace the losses of
the army for the current year.

The Dayonet in the Election.


GRANT has seized the first moment after
tho adjournment OF Congress to show his
hand and the people OF the country can
BEE that II Craps bayonet, the point OF
which Is turned toward the Southern
BATES.
II Is q feeling not Of alarm, but Of indig-
nation, that will be raised throug bout the
land by the military order that was yes
terday issued from the War Department
TO Gen. SHERMAN. 1t directs the General
OF the Army to hold all the avail
able military force in readiness to
be used for the support of the Fifteenth
Constitutional Amendment, and for the
punishment of those who may attempt to
interfere with the rights therein guaran-
teed. 1t directs him to have the military
force SO distributed as TO be able to act
with promptltude; and 1t informs him
that he will receive other instructions from
time to time concerning this business.
The order means that ten or twelve thou
sand troops Of the regular army are to be
concentrated in the Southern States-in
those Of them which have been. or, with
out this order, would surely be, wrest cd
from Grantsm in November next. They
will doubtless be stationed mainly in
Mississippi, Louisiana. Alabama. and South
Carolina; aud 1t is not improbable that,
before tho election, the Southern Depart
ment will be put in charge Of Gen. SHER-
DAN' who has had some experience in the
kind of work that he will be called upon
70 perform.
II was very cunning in Don CAM
ERoN. Secretary OF War; 10 resort TO the
pretext OF basing this order on the reso-
luton OF Mr.. scorr LORD, which was
passed by the House Of Representa-
tves on the 10th instant, and re-
ceived the vote Of nearly all the
Democratic members. He has delayed its
Issue till one week after the passage of
that resolution, and has kept it back till
one day after the adjournment of Con-
gress. Why did he not issue it after re-
ceiving the resolution, or while yet Com
gress was in session. The trick IL worthy
Of GRANT himself.
As far back as the I'd OF this month, we
warned Congress that 1t would be unsafe
TO adjourn leaving free opportunity for
the exercise Of unrestricted power in the
hands Of such President as GRANT. Our
"-.J .i'Vio .nan Justineu.
GRANT and the Senate have lately been
very anxious for the enlargement OF the
army; and 1t is now evident, as it has been
all along, what object they had in view in
this policy.
The House was weak enough. on the last
day OF the session, to wit. on Tu esday OF
thisweek, TO assent to the Senates demand
for an increase Of $500 men 10 the cavalry
arm OF the service. The pretence was that
This additional force was needed for the |
Sioux war 1t was not needed for that war, |
but for use in the Southern States during
the Presidential election
There is but one thing now 10 be desired |
ana that is, that this military Interference
Of GRANT may recoil upon the party for
whose advantage IL is intended.

We regret to sec that the World deals
with the kissing question In a spirit OF both
ievity and casuistry. Its point is that IL a Con-
necIleut girl may 90 out driving with a young
man OF moonlight night without impropriety,
she may also kiss him good by when she eets
home. From this we dissent totally 1t NAV
be- and indeed Il, proceeding OF more or less
hazard socially for the girl to take the drive, out
that does not justify her in increasing tho peril
by kissing tho driver. Her m idenly modesty
sdners by reason OF the familiarity, and after
she has begun by kissing the companion of her
drive, she may gradually get TO making prao-
tice Of kissing her male as well as her.female
friends. No; We hold that the kiss of a maiden
should be reserved as the priceless prize of her
accepted lover, the sign and seal Of the heavenly
pact entered into at that ecstatlc moment when
the TWO souls rush together and blend as one
