slaves or property Of any kind In Cuba
The plantation alluded to was In the
country In insurrection. It was liable to
be destroyed any day by the insurgents or the
Spanish troops. TO prevent this, he sup
posed, the Cuban owner Of the property had
used the name of the American firm with
which he was doing business, hoping thereby
to save his property from destruction, as
both Spaniards and insurgents paid some
little respect to the property Of American
citizens.
the charge of owning slaves is most emphatic
and unambiguous. His opponents will now
devote themselves to finding some other
charge, or bring up little more evidence in
support OF this accusation.

Some long-eared jackass on the Chicago
Tribune Is writing senseless diatribes in that
sheet against any appropriations to build the
Mississippi levees. The Tribune thinks it
sexceedingly suspicious" that the advocates
ssof this levee scheme refuse to give ear to the
obvious advantages of permanently lowering
the bed Of the Mississippi, and thus avoiding
Tor all time the danger Of overflow" "This, "
continues the Chicago luminary, sis a nat
ural and inexpensive means of protecting
The low lands along the Mississippi, and If a
reasonable amount OF government aid were
asked for well developed scheme of this
Kind, Ii might claim serious and well disposed
attention from Congress without public pro-
test
Now the question arises: What knave or
fool has stuffed the Tribune jackass with the
idea that the bed of the Mississippi can be
permanently lowered, AMI that such a
scheme would be an inexpensive means OF pro-
tecting the lowland from overflow?
We have seen many ridiculous, many par
tisan and many evasive propositions to
thwart any national appropriation for the
benefit of the lower Mississippi Valley, but
We have not before met with any proposition
50 idiotic as that of the Chicago Tribune.
1t is noteworthy, however, that the Tribune.
which ia 4 representative Republican paper,
comedies it to be the duty of Congress to make
m appropriation for the protection OF the
lowlands of the Mississippi. A reasonable
amount Of aid, that journal says, should be
accorded well developed scheme to lower
the bed or the Mississippi for the purpose of
protecting the lowlands which border it. This
a i concession of the right of the lower Mis-
aissippi to government protection. The con
eeesion of the principle is all we desire from
r.,ch papers as the Tribune. Congress having
s,r.ln sense than such journals will adopt the
nIsvper method Of protection.

A Washington dispatch to the New York
Herald states that an intrigue is on foot, the
object of which is to effect a combination be-
tween the anti-Administration Senators and
the Democrats the object Of which is to de-
feat many of the Presidents nominations on
the one hand and to seat Messrs. Eustis and
Spofford of Louisiana, and, we presume Gen.
Butler from South Carolina. The restoration
of the right to every State to representation
in the Senate is, at this time, the leading po-
litical object of the Democratic party. The
pacification of the country will not be complete
until this is done. We believe therefore, that
the Democrats should secure the admission
of the Senators from Louisiana and South
Carolina to their seats. The Administration
could easily, without delay, settle this matter
in the interest Of the public peace. If Mr..
Hayes and his friends in the Senate refuse
to do this, we do not see why the Democrats
should not make such combinations as are
necessary to secure Louisiana and South
Carolina in their constituted right to repre-
sentation in the Senate If Mr.. Hayes and his
supporters in the Republican party are sin
cere in their profession Of a desire to pacify
the country and to deal justly by every Sec
ton, why do they not discard all partisan
ends in this matter and cooperate with the
Democrats to secure Messrs. Eustis, Spofford
and Butler their seats Until they do this,
they have no claims upon the Democrats
superior to those of the anti-Administration
faction of the Republican party.
The Herald, referring editorially to this
rumored coalition, says significantly:
We do not advise Democrats to join such q
coalition; on the contrary, we trust the Demo
cratic Senators will take the true and honest
ground that all nominations of q proper
character ought to be confirmed. But If the
Administration should meet with singing
defeat in the Senate we must say that its
friends there will have only themselves to
blame. Why hare they not seated Messrs.
Spoford and Eustis?
