The New York H erald OF Sunday last says

The New York Herald OF Sunday last says:
The President has gone all the way to ST.
Petersburg to endeavor to drum up moral sup
port for his Cuban policy, which has proved
distasteful to the American people, because,
deeply suspicious of his intentions, the people
believed that that policy WAS adopted as mere
cover for the attempt to overcome the repug-
nance to third term. We pointed out at the
time that this request for moral support was as
repugnant to our traditional policy as the thiro
itself; that the fathers and founders OF TINS
republic not only did not send round platter
to European capitals for diplomatic and pol'ts-
cal cold victusls, but they maintained that the
safety of this government lay in the total inde-
pendence of its policy, its complete aostenton
from all European disputes and Its complete
exclusion of European Powers from any pa t IN
its decisions on American topics. An answer 10
these structures is now put forth in the govern
ment organ. 1t is said that tho government dld
not regularly send Cuban circular TO the sew
erul Powers but that it called their attention 10
the part of the message that relates TO CUBA !;
snd there is nothing in the split OF the Monroe
doctrine which makes such course improper.
AS to the matter of fact, if the President inserts
in his message the parts of circular intended
for foreign contemplation and then dlplomatlc-
ally requests several foreign governments TO
give him their opinions on those parts OF MS
message, how is this essentially different from
the allegations Of our Vienna dispatch? AS to
the Monroe doctrine, il we ask the approval OF
foreign governments for policy which we pro-
nose, do wo not thereby admit that they have
such right to dsspprove as we would be IN
honor bound to notice; and is not this an sban-
donment Of the essential point of the Monroe
doctrine q

Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1876-01-04

There is 90 reason to believe, says the Wash
ington correspondent of the Baltimore Ameri-
can, that the correspondence had between this
Government and other Powers, respecting the
condition of affairs in Cuba, is materially diff
ferent, in substance, from that set forth
heretofore. That there has been cores
pondcuce with European Powers, including
Spain, admits absolutely of no doubt. 1t points
rather to the settlement Of all differences be-
tween the Cubans and the mother country,
however, by means Of arbitration, with other
nations acting 10 the capacity OF umpires on
diSagreeing points, than to any desire on the
part of the United States to secure the island
by force, Intervention or annexation. The pro-
longed struggle 10 Cuba has seriously impaired
the commercial interests of the Uoted States,
aud President Grants only desire 10 the prem
ises is to have peace restored 10 the interests
of humanity, slavery abolished, and commerce
allowed to resume its channels. 1t is stated
that of the replies already received the course
indicated by the United States is approved.
France has so signi6ed, and although the reply
of the Premier of Great Britain has not been
forwarded as yet, it is apprehended that it will
be favorable Meanwhile the communication
on the subject to Spain has been the cause of
frequent kilograms between Secretary Fish and
Minister Gushing, all of which will be present
ed to Congress when the special message of the
President on the Cuban question is forwarded.
All statements, however, which announce that
the President and Secretary Fish are not in
accord upon this latest phase in the Cuban
question may be set down as devoid of truth or
real foundation 10 fact. If Secretary Fish re-
tires before the 4th OF March, 1877, and Of
which he has no present intention, it will be of
his own voliton, aud not on account of any re.
ported disagreements between him and the
President, for none actually exist.

A GOOD ANswER.-Yes terday evening,
when family, in the eastern portion of
the city, were at tea, there was something
said about politics, when little boy, the
only child, said, 'I'm no 'Pugean," mean
ing Republican, 'G'm a Democrat" His
grandmother asked him if he knew the
meaning of Democrat, and as we were
about to remark we thought the question
a hard one for child of his years, the
little fellow, with a look of triumph, an
swercd, ",rhite." The answer was accep-
ted as good one by all present. Demo-
cracy is white-white all overland we
sincerely hope its great standard bearers,
TILDEN and HENDRICKS, will occupy
the White House at Washington after the
4th of March next. The father of the
child is Republican, but not radical by
any means, but he lets the little fellow
have his own way in politics.

A Kansas Snake Story.

A DEN OF SNAKES ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
KILLING EXTRAORDINARY.
A former Delawarean, now IL resident
Of Concordia, Cloud County, Kansas,
writes to the GAZETTE to relate the fol-
lowing surprising snake story. He says
October 10Th, 1876.
about seven miles south Of this place,
at kind of hill or bluff, there was
about ten days ago discovered q den of
blue racer snakes. They were discovered
by boy, who, in going over the place,
stepped into a hole and npon drawing his
foot out, to his horror, he saw two or
three snakes at his heel and winding
around his leg. He managed to get away
with them by Selling a stick close by and
pounding them to death. He had just
finished killing them when about twenty
made their appearance. He succeeded in
killing thirteen, but the Others got away.
He feeling satisfied that he had got the
best of the battle he wended his way
home, and the next day accompanied by
several neighbors he started again for the
battle ground. On arriving they saw
snakes In every direction, and according
ly commenced battling in earnest, and
before night came they had had killed
twelve hundred blue racer snakes.
The news soon spread to town, and
nearly all of our citizens repaired to the
spot. Then the slaughter was continued,
and the dead snakes were piled up until
it was estimated that $500 had been killed
The snakes were from three to eight feet
in length. For several days snake-kil
ling was the chief occupation of the
neighborhood, and the number destroyed
is almost incredible, some placing it as
high as four thousand.

OBITUARY.

David w. Bradley, whose decease we
published on the I'D inst, as having oc-
CURED suddenly in Philadelphia, was a
wealthy, and highly respected citizen of
this city. He was son of the late John
Bradley, and his residence when at home
was with his mother and sisters at No.
513 Weststreet. He had been extensively
engaged in the purchase and feeding of
cattle in the West for many years, where
he had large stock farms. nthese lands
his stock was prepared for the markets of
New York and other cities. During all
the years he had been in this business he
stood high for honorable dealing and in
tegrity. But recently was engaged in
the meat packing business in Philadel-
phia. His success was mainly due to
prudence and good judgment. His losses
were sometimes large; but never caused
him to dishonor his word. One occasion,
of which he told the writer he was forced
to accept a lot of land in the city of New
York at very high figure for a claim of
$4,000. This he would gladly have dis
posed of at considerable sacrifice; but
could find no purchaser; after some
years, however, he was surprised at the
offers made him for it, and at the time we
mention it was assessed at 5000. He
was SO quiet and gentle in his deport-
ment that his visits to Wilmington and
stay with us was scarcely noticed; never
theless his loss will be greatly felt. In
his death devoted son and brother, and
a valued citizen has passed away. And
those who knew him here will ever re-
greet that they were unable to enjoy his
society more frequently.
