brokers send the Bonds to Baltimore, New
York, &c., and have them, byan easy manipu-

State on coupons paid in was fifty-oue thous-
and, the next year sixty-two thousand, and
last year thirty Eight thousand; and this year,
without change in the law we will not get
10000. The change proposed is to require
taxpayers to make affidavit to the collector,
when paying coupons to him, that at the very
time of said payment the bonds from which
they were taken are the property of non-resi-

pending the debate, was pointed in his enqll-

misrepresentation exists in the public mind as

on supernatural aid aud the divine element of
life within her, for success. 1t would rather
be misfortune to her to receive subsidies from
the State, even for her schools, especially if by
such support she would in any manner be
lalnpered in her divine mission, which is to
save souls. At present her record as regards
the school question is the enviable one OF a

The Cuban Question.

The Washington correspondent OF the Baltf-
more american of the 4th, has the following
reference to the Cuban Question So
There is no reason to believe that the CORES
pondence had between this Government and
other Powers, respecting the condition of
affairs in Cuba, is materially differe mt, in sub
stance, from that set forth in the dispatches
and published in the american Of recent date
That there has been correspondence with Eth
ropean Powers, including Spain, admits abso-
utely of no doubt. 1t points rather to the set
tlement OF all differences between the Cubans
and the mother country, however, by means Of
arbitration, with other nations acting in the cas-
pacity of umpres on disagreeing points, than
to any desire OH the part of the United States
to secure the island by force, Intervention or
annexation, The prolonged struggle in Cuba
has seriously impaired the commercial inter-
ests of the United States, and President Grants
only desire in the premises is to have peace re-
stored in the interests OF humanity, slavery ahol-
shed, and commerce allowed to resume its
channels. 1t is stated that OF the replies al
ready received the course indicated by the
United States is approved. France has so sig
nif1ed and although the Premier of Gseat Brit
ain has not been forwarded as vet, it is appFe-
hended that it will be favorable. Meanwhise
the communication OIL the subject to Spain has
been the cause of frequent kilograms between
Secretary Fish and Minister Cushing, all of
which will be presented to Congress when the
special message OF the President on the Cuban
question is forwarded. All statements, how
ever, which announce that the President and
Secretary Fish are not in accord upon the9last
phase OF the Cuban question may be set down.

THREATENEn MOB LAW.-Recently an moi.
fensive citizen named Lee was murdered in
Kanawha county, W. Va, in cold blood, by
two desperadoes named Dawson or McDawson,
and Eastep. The mnrderers were arrested
and placed in the Charleston Jail. An armed
mob OF three hundred men, mou1ted and on
foot, came into the town to take the prisoners
from the Jail and hang them. The Sheriff hay
ing gotten an intitnation Of the movement. had
removed them, aud finally succeeded in getting
them to Barboursville Jail, and it was rllmored
that the mob had proceeded to that place to
execute their purpose.
Dawson or McDawson is said to be from Au-
gllsta county. We expect this is a mistake,
aud that LynchblWg will have to claim him.
The old man Lee was stabbed in thritys places,
He plead for his life, but the tienls were ireor-
rigible. He leaves wife aud seven children.
There was a reward Of $l50 on Eastcp, aud the
parties who arrested him turned the amount
of the reward over to the distressed family.

The New York Tribune thus attempts

forecast the Presidential election;
democrats cannot elect the next President
without New York. Republicans can. Those
two facts supply the key OF the next election.
The Democrats must nominate a candidate
and frame platform. and put their party into
position that can secure n ew York, Other
wise they are whipped before the fight begins.
But the Republicans eau still make desperate
struggle, with a possibility OF success, even
though the probabilities in this State should be
against them. The Democrats Cal:
count with almost absolute certainty, upon the
vote of fifteen former S! I'VE States, and the Re-
publcans, it they nominate a candidate who
untes the party, can aotiut with equal certain
ty upon the vote of South Carolina and all the
former non-slaveholding Safes, except New
York, Conneeticut, New Jersey, Indiana, Cal
ifornla and Oregon. The Democrats then need
"a more electoral votes ont of the "a consider
ed dehatable. The Republicans. however, need
only 81, and can lose New York, New Jersey
and Connec lieut., Or New York, Indiana aud
Oregon, and still elect the President. The
Democrats cannot possibly get 81 out of the
"a debatable votes. without the 35 of New
York, and must, therefore, carry this State or
be heaten.''
