The Spanish Government and Amer
lean Sugar.

A gentleman from Kansas, reading in
the Chicago Tribune the report of the
debates in the Spanish Cortes, in which
the Cuban Senators and Representatives
urged the adoption of liberal commercial
relations with the United States, COM
municates some facts tending to explain
this change of policy. 1t seems that
persons engaged in the cultivation of the
amber cane in this country have en-
plOyed during the last few years several
experienced sugar-boilers, brought
hither from the sugar fields of
Cuba. These men are experienced in all
that pertains to the cultivation as well as
the manufacture of sugar. The cores
pondent states that the protracted
droughts which render Kansas and Texas
Improbable for grain growing is the pre-
else quality which is needed for the sue
cessful Gu ltivation of sugar. A strong
soil, with dry and warm temperature,
like that of Kansas, Texas and the In
dian Territory. are the desirable if not
essential requisite for the productive
growth of cane, and for the full yield of
saccharine properties, in which consists
the value of the sugar crop.

The District U. ). Marshalship.

President Garfield seems to find it a
difficult matter to come to definite con-
clusion in regard to the United States
Marshalship of the District of Columbia
The term of Fred. Douglass expired last
Thursday, but up to the close of bust
ness no appointment had been made,
in consequence of which all the
courts of the city, except the
Circuit Court, where a case was
on trial. were adjourned until to-day,
as no writs, subp9nas or other process
could be legally served in the interim.
There are several colored applicants for
the position, while Fred. Douglass
friends are persistently urging his reap
pointment. Elk Senator Bruce visited
Douglass during Thursday afternoon,
having just come from the White House,
but he brought no news, not being able
to obtain an indication from the Presi
dent as to who his choice would be.
This is the first time in the history OF
the office that there has been any hiatus.
Between so many meritorious cOlored
applicants, President Garfield finds him
self in the position of the profane wight
who thus described his dilemma:
How happy could be with either,
Were 'tother fair charmer away;
But while they both tease and perplex me,
Why d-n the word will ! say.

Mr.. Malone, says the Bridgeport
Farmer, was elected to the United States
Senate by the debt-repudiating Demo
Gratis of Virginia, assisted by the Repub-
Hcans. His political connections were
such, therefore, as to amply qualify him
for a place in the Republican fold, while
his political principles, being entirely of
a debt.repudiating and consequently dis
honest character, did not stand in the
way Of the purchase of his vote by the
Republican President and Senators. Con
sidering the makeup of the man, the
Republican party is welcome to him. lie
also fits best into that organization. But
what a spectaclel The Republican party,
which has for years claimed to be the
only truly righteous and moral political
organization of the country, lot only

ranks, but actually purchasing his adhe'

Inhoa RIaek RAriened

What Judge Black don't know about
railroads Ia being cleverly and perspicu-
ously shown By Nr. Albert Fink on the
facts side of the question and by Mr..
George Ticknor Curtis, in the April num-
Der of the North american Reviec, on the
legal side. Mr. Fink, in q communica-
ton under date of the 10th instant, to a
New York paper, confirms the fact that
Judge Black, in calculating his enor-
nous aggregate of alleged extortion and
plumber, entirely mistook gross produc-
ton of crops for proportion of grain
freight borne East by rail In other
words, he put the average East bound
tonnage of the trunk lines in 1880 at the
enormous amount of 225, 900, 900 tons,
whereas the actual figures were only
II, 500, 600 tons, including grain, live
stock and all other freight. When one
multiplies the actual results by 20 it is
easy to prove as great an amount of
extortion as may be necessary to make a
case. But, as Mr.. Fink coolly remarks,
the advance of five cents referred to in
Judge Blacks letter of November 16,
1880, applied only to a portion of this
tonnage, not exceeding s, 500, 600 tons of
grain and provisions, on which an ad-
vance of five cents per 100 pounds dur
ing the four winter months was made, is
equal to $2,8O0,0OO instead of $685.
900, 900, only about one-hundredth
part of Judge Blacks estimates. :"
Mr.. Fink goes through the rest Of
Judge Blacks figures in the same way,
showing how superior expert knowledge
is to guess work in all such test cases.
Mr.. Curtis, on the other hand, challenges
Judge Blacks information in respect to
the law of the ownership of railroad
property. He shows that the law of
contracts is perfectly well defined and
absolutely respected by the Constitution,
and he shows, moreover, that Judge
Black mistakes both the scope and mean
ing of Chief Justice Waite's decision in
the five railroad cases known as the
granger cases" Mr.. Curtis insists that
in these decisions the court clearly made
distinctions which judge Black attempts
to ignore, and that the relations of the
public with railroads as to "use" and the
duties which attend it in no wise impair
the private rights of property which
inhere TO railroads under their charters,
considered as contracts between them
and the State. Mr.. Curtis thinks that
further judicial consideration of the sub
ject is imperatively called for, but that
in the meantime ut is impossible to ex
tract from these doctrines, in judicial
sense, all that has been claimed by the
advocates for legislative interference
with the contracts of railroad corpora
tiOns."

FLOWERS FROM THE GOVERNMENT
GARDEN Abiding TO the announce
ment that Senator Malone, of Virginia,
the morning after he voted with the Re
publiclns, found on his table magnifi-
cent bouquet from the government gar
dens, with the compliments of the Presi-
dent and Mrs Garfield, the New York
Sun says cit seems to us this Ostenta-
tious crowning with flowers the desk of
a particular Senator, with compliments
of the President and Mrs. Garfield, may
Justly be looked upon as carrying with
it disagreeable and hateful meaning.
First. it means that the President holds
himself in readiness to reward votes in
his favor-to pay for them. The gift OF
flowers cannot signify less than that they
are to be followed by the bestowal OF
patronage. Again, it is a direct affront.
It is a declaration that the President be-
lieves that United States Senators may
be patr0nized by him. 1t is little thing
in itself, but very significant. The flow
ers have no fragrance. but omit hateful
and offensive odor."

The delegation from the Louisville
Chamber of Commerce which visited
Cuba some weeks ago, to find what pros
poets there were of opening trade be-
tween the West and the West Indies,
returned rather crestfallen. They found
that the Cuban duty on Spanish -four is
So %, and on American flour Sc so, so
that the latter can scarcely compete with
flour from Europe. The delegation DIS
covered, however, that there was one
way of beating this Spanish Cuban tariff.
A treaty admits goods cheap from St.
Thomas into Cuba, and the st. Thomas
duties on American products are very
moderate. By shipping goods, there
fore, via St. Thomas the American mer-
chants will save snug sum in duties.

THE RAID UPON STANLEY MATTHEWS

THE RAID UPON STANLEY MATTHEW'S.
Prominent men of both parties from
Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana, the
judicial circuit ex Senator Matthews is
nominated to fill on the United States
Supreme bench, have been requested to
come to Washington to oppose his con-
firmation, and several have arrived.
Their main objection to Matthews is
that he is not a resident of the circuit.
They want him rejected and a resident
of the circuit nominated. Judge Isham,
law partner of Secretary of War Lin
coin, and Judge Jewett. both of Chicago,
are Endorsed by the courts and the mem
bers of the bar generally in that circuit
for the place, but, of course, Matthews
rejection must be secured first. Whether
this opposition will succeed or not can
not yet be foretold, as the Senate has
been occupied with the question of or
ganization, and has not given the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Matthews any considera-
ton. There is, says the Star, in the
Senate some strong opposition TO him,
but the disposition to put through all
nominations of the new administration,
and give it smooth start" may, and
probably will, lead to Matthews con-
firmation.

Steam Navigation on Our SeabOard
Rivers.

In another column we publish the pro-
ceedings of a mass meeting of the citi-
zens of Liberty county, held at Dorches-
ter on Saturday last, to consider the i'm
portance of introducing steam naviga-
ton on the Ogeechee, Sunbury, Ricebo-
70 and South Newport rivers. The sub
ject is one Of great interest not only to
the people of Liberty county and the
section of seaboard country drained by
these streams, but also to the mer-
chants and business men of Savannah.
The rivers named run through
a fertile region of country in which cot
ton and rice are extensively cultivated.
and which is admirably adapted to the
growth of early vegetables and fruits
The introduction of light draught steam
ers plying between points on these rivers
and Savannah would not only greatly
facilitate travel and transportation and
thus increase our trade with the sur
rounding country, but would develop a
new and lucrative home industry-the
raising of early fruits and vegetables for
transportation to the Northern markets.
1t is to be hoped that our Liberty
county friends will persist in their
efforts for the successful accomplish
ment of so promising an enterprise, and
that they will have the encouragement
and efficient aid of our business commu-
nifty

MORE TALK ABOUT AN EXTRA SEs-
sIoN.-The talk of an extra session of
Congress seems to have broken out anew.
1t is now claimed by those who really
wish a session to be called that the &c
tivity with which De Lesseps is pushing
his isthmian canal should call forth an
expression from Congress before next
winter, that the canal, il completed.
must be under American control. This,
it is argued, is a declaration which
should have been made by the last Con-
gress, and to have 1t made by a special
session of the new Republican Congress
will be feather in the cap of both the
administration and the party. 1t Is re-
ported that Senator elect Frye said yes
terday that Secretary Blaine now favored
a special session to be called in May

NORTH CARoLINA's -Four PER CENTS

NORTH OAhOl1ANA L JUN LII NENTS.
The Legislature of North Carolina,
which adjourned on Monday last, levied
a special tax of six cents on the hundred
dollars valuation of real and personal
property to pay interest on the four per
cent. bonded debt of the State. The ad-
ditional levy of six cents viii raise
$40, 900, which will be sufficient to pay
the entire interest, if the whole debt is
funded in four per cents. The amount
of four per cents now issued is g. $780,
900, and the funding is proceeding
rapidly every day. The Legislature also
voted $1,000 in aid of the celebration of
the battle Of Yorktown.
