THE CUBAN WAR.

After struggle which has now lasted
upwards Of seven years, we find the area
Of Spanish domination on the Island of
Cuba growing gradually smaller every
year. Yearly the conflict wakes fercer,
and vainly the might Of Spain is hurled
against the forest and mountain defended
Cuban patriots, who are steadily approach
ing Havana and pushing their enemies off
or under the sell of Cuba. An awful sac
ritice Of the life Of the young men Of Spain
is made to satisfy the cupidity and vanity
Of the Peninsular Government and its
agents in Cuba.
The Spanish troops engaged in the war
at present in Cuba are mostly boys drafted
under the conscri ption laws that were in
force during the civil war in Spain. The
majority of these poor boys have scarcely
attained the age of twenty years, and being
brought directly from temperate climate
TO a tropical one and exposed to all the
hardships Of a guerrilla warfare, they fast
succumb to the terrible forms of disease in
the tropics. The soil of Cuba seems to
swallow the enemies of that lovely island,
for army after army has marched into her
dense forests and rugged defiles, but have
never returned, for even disease is patri-
otic in Cuba, and yellow fever and small
pox NOW down the columns of Spain as
efectually as the bullet and machete of the
Cuban insurgents.

SUBMIT TO No NONSENSE,

President Grant won't stand any ofGen.
Clusters nonsense. Custer has incurred
the Imperial Ceaser's eternal displeasure
by his naughty talk about the Presidents
friends. For telling tales out of school,
Grant inficts the punishment upon him
ofo-dering him to his regiment in Dako-
ia. Custer has done no duty since he left
his regiment as line officer early in the
late war. For his little committee talk,
he has been relieved from duty as COM
maj ding officer under brevet rank, and
goes to his regiment simply as Lieutenant
Colonel. Should the talkative Colonel
ever be so fortunate as to be breveted
General, again, and do no duty except as
general officer, he will be-likely to keep
very mum about what he may know of
the crookedness of the Presidents friends.
The Imperial Ceaser. will not submit to
any such nonsense.

TIE HOTEL ExrORTION.

The rumors of increased rates of hotel
charges in Philadelphia during the Cen
tennial season, is creating considerable ex.
citement throughout the country, and is
receiving merited condemnation by the
press of the interior counties of Pennsyl-
vania. The proprietors Of the Continental
in Philadelphia admitted to representa-
tive of the Sunday Sun Of, that city that
they would increase their rates fifty cents
per day more during the Exhibition, SO that
the impression prevalent in the South and
West, that the Philadelphia hotels in
tended to take advantage of the Centennial
season to charge unreasonable prices is
well founded, and justi6es the severe COM
ments of the press on the gross imposition.
The ordinary rates Of the Continental is
$3.50, but to show their respect for Cen
tennial visitors, and their great desire to
make the Centennial highly creditable
Exhibition, they will impose an additional
fifty cents on guests to that hostlery. This
spirit Of Philadelphia hotel keepers to
charge their Centennial guests extra prices
is rather hard commentary on Phila-
delphia's disinterestedness in her big show
and Of her appreciation of foreign visitors.
In commenting on the increased rate Of
Philadelphia's principal hostlery, the Sun
very truly says: 1t is the principle Of the thing
and not the extra half dollar. The hotel
that cannot make money by charging four
and-a-half-dollars per day in a city where
everything is so cheap and plentiful as in
Philadelphia ought to give way to some
other line of business.

THE THORNY PATH.

Presidential aspirants, especially Repub-
lican ones, are travelling thorny path. A
Presidential candidate should, before he
first cherishes such ambition, cover up all
tracks Of his former misdemeanors. Blaine
thought he had scratched dirt enough over
his crooked tracks to prevent further fol-
lowing Of his trail, but the thin covering is
being removed. Other allegations are
made that his statement did not cover, and
there are indications now that the House
will 20 to the bottom of the matter.
The doughty Snowman Of the "bloody
shirt" Morton, is called upon to refute the
charge that he failed to account properly
for the money he received while Governor
of Indiana during the war. This ensan-
guined shirt Snowman has also become
discernable in the back ground of wliskey
ring investigations, and there is a preva-
lent impression that it has required extra
ordinary exerlions to prevent positive evil
dence coming out that he received large
amounts Of money from the rings ostensi-
bly, for political purposes. The probabil-
ity is that both OF these bloody shirt gen.
tlemen may have an opportunity to vindi-
cate themselves before an investigating
committee. Blaine and Morton should
have avoided all corrupt acts and crooked
ways before they put themselves in train
ing for the Presidential course.
1t is a blessed thing for the Republican
party that the Democrats are bringing for
ward all the damaging revelations SO as ts

OBITUARY.

All that was mortal of John Cochran,
of Middletown, was yesterday consigned
to his mother earth. His spirit having al
ready, witnessed those joys, which no
human eye ever saw. His death leaves a
void in society, about Middletown, that will
not be easily filled. Of joyous, gener-
GUS, and manly nature, he was the soul Of
every circle Of society, he entered, diffu-
sing his own joyousness, and banishing all
gloom, by his presence. His virtues were
many and nanifold:-brave, generous, and
charitable. His loss will be deplored, alike
by rich and poor.

THE CHIEF JUSTICE.

The appointment Of the Ghief Justice
must be prompt, as the filling Of the va
cancy is legal necessity. All writs issued
must be tested in the name Of the Chief
Justice. Nearly the whole legal business
Of our county for the coming term, is de-
pendent upon the filling Of the vacant Of
fee in few days. There are many excel
lent gentlemen named for the Office, viz:
Messrs. Dupont, McCaulley, Lore, c.
megys sauls bury, McFee,and Gray. We
heard it suggested by many Democrats that
if the Governor were to promote Judge
Wooten to be Chief, it would be fitting
honor to so worthy and able man, and
would properly crown the declining days
of pure and upright Judge. That he il
eminently we'll fitted to be CHIEF Justice, i,
best proven by the fact that he has fire.
quently presided during the illness Of the
late Chief Justice Gilpin, some time ago
This would also save Judge Wooten from
the undeserved modification of having =.
younger and untried man, placed ovel
him. 1t would also render the filling o
Judge Wooten's place easier, and the ap
polntee, in the natural course of things
might look forward to fill the Chief Jus
ticeship, at no very remote day.

Why He Hugged the Girl,
From the Jersey City Herald

A couple frem the country came to the
city yesterday, procured license and were
married in due form. They left on the after
noon train for home. They attracted the
attention of every passenger by their lavish
display of affection. The young man kept
his arm tight around the BRIDES waist, as if
he was afraid she would vanish before he
knew it, and she didn't seem to care if he
Rugged her right along for half day. She
was SO terrible homely that everybody won
dered how he could love her, and by and
by he seemed to think an explanation would
be in order. He borrowed a chew Of to-
bacco Of man near the door and re-
marked: "Im going to hug that girl all
the way home, though l know she isn't
purity"
II wouldn't" briefly replied the man.
"And that's where you'd fool yourself y
continued the young man. "When Pm
hugging hundred acres of clean, nice
land, with forty head of stock on it, can
make the homeliest girl in the world look
like an angel to me."

THE FLIGHT OF HARRINGTON.

And now comes the news that Richard
Harrington, one Of the chief conspiritors
Of the safe barglary, in order to establish
his innocence, has run off to South Amer
ica. The Washington Ring furnish him
money for his escape, as they compromised
the interests Of Henry D. Cooke and his
concern in the "real estate pooW with the
trustee, in the hope Of escaping investiga-
tion by Congress. Harrington is in the
intimate confidence Of the Ring thieves at
the Capital. They used him as tool and
made him confederate in all their vii
liany. Some time ago when Harrington
was guest Of Boss Shepherds, he said he
would never stand another trial, and he
made no bones in publicly declaring tina.
if his friends did not furnish sufficient
funds to carry him off out of the reach of
justice, that some others besides himself
would suffer.

habit the entrances to the inlets. The blue

6ECEDER6 FROM THE UNION
n,ll Ils. LEAGUE

A new organization in the city Of New
York styled the Republican Reform Club
has sprung into existence. The purposes
which the club will endeavor to accom-
plish, is, to signalize the opening Of the
new Centennial of our national existence
having nominated by the Republican
party for President not mere political
partisan, but statesman Of tried character
in sympathy with the best sentiments Of
the people on all public questions, con-
versant with the affairs of government,
discriminating in the choice Of public
servants, one who will thoroughly reform
the public service and whose name alone
will be a guarantee of official integrity, OF
wise and prudent administration, and Of
fearless enforcement Of the laws. Thencw
organization is secession from the Union
League Club. The whisperings OF this
secession from the club has been heard for
some time, but has now become practical
fact. Judging from their avowed pur-
poses, their Presidential candidate will
not be taken from the present list Of Re-
publican aspirants.
1t is unquestionably an anti-Conkling
and anti Custom House movement, but
whether pro-Blaine, pro-Morton, pro- Bris-
tow or pro all or any other Republican as
pirant, is one of the mysteries which the
future must determine. The manifesto of
the seceders is causing great deal of talk
in Political circles. Negotiations are pen
ding for a brown stone front not far from
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, as the head
quarters Of the club. 1t is impossible to
dissociate this Reform Club moyemen,
from the political consul alton called by
Mr.. Bryant of the Post, Mr.. Schurz and
President Woolsey to meet in the city O
New York shortly. Unless the Cincin
natl Convention puts forth candidate fo
the Presidency, worthy of the Centennia
year the reform party will not support th
nomination, and will look elsewhere for
standard bearer. This reform party ma,
support Bristow, Adams or Everts, bu
will not support Blaine, Conklins, Morto
or any other mere politician that the Re
publicans may nominate.

It is : mistake that the Sound country
almost uniformly claimed the Delegate.
At the time Judge Jacobs was nominated
q majority Of the Convention would
cheerfully have conceded the nomina-
ton to q Walla wslla man if they had
claimed it, bat the people Of the Sound
would not then or now vote for any
man in favor Of dismsmbering the
Territory.
, 1876-04-06

Hon. o. JACOBS is understood to de-
sire reelection as delegate. This is
question in which the people east of the
mountains will take little interest. The
Sound country has almost uniformly
claimed the delegate, and If Judge
Jacobs suits that section We know OF no
good reason why he should not be book
ed for second term. In point of abili-
ty he is fully up to the average. and the
tine has long since passed when dele
gate was expected to render any special
service. Let Judge Jacobs be put down
for second term. WaAa Wala Slates-
man.
We second the motion that Judge Js-
eobs be put down for b serond term. His
ability is conceded, and we have every
reason to believe that no man could have
labored more faithfully or effectually
than he he has for the general benefit of
his constituents. An election year is
unpropitions for any Delegate represent
ing constituency without vote for
President, when all efforts are being
made to propitiate tie votes Of the sew
eral States. The position of Delegate is
q thankless one at best. and especially
30 at such time. The best policy for
. Territory is to keep a Delegate in
sufficiently long to establish personal
relations and a standing among the
members and with the Administration
10 give him a personal influence which
Is alone of any avail in securing favors,
or even justice, unless he forfeits his
position by his own misconduct. We
have heard no complaint against Judge
Jacobs for any act he has committed,
and he certainly cannot be accused Of
neglect OF any interest of the Territory.
