Cuban Intervention.

II is quite probable that President
Grant will soon lay before Congress
his promised supplementary message
relative to Intervention in Cuban
affairs. II is sad that the Secretary
OF State has been corresponding with
the European powers on the subject ::
that the replies Of all are satisfactory
and that England is ready to endorse
the movement at any time.
We are not much of O diplomat
but We do claim to know something of
the claims Of humanity, and for this
very reason will hail with gladness
any movement calculated to put a
period to the inbuman butchery that
has been so long going on on that
Island and Intervention would pro-
duce this result
Some regard this as q third term
dodge Of Grants, but We bid him
Godspeed 10 this work of humanity
without stopping to inquire into bis
motives; for we are heartily Disguised
With the mock show Of respect for the
miserable sham which claims to he
the Government of Spain. That
country would be much better OF If
the powers Of earth would Intervene
in It's homo affairs and prevent the
further butchery Of the soldiefy and
impoverishment Of the pessantry by
the contestants for corrupt and de.
cayed royalty, and give them o gov.
under which they can live
and prosper instead Of forever fight
ing like Kilkenny cats.
