For an English woman the following

Cuba has long been the ireland of
Spain. The effort now making to
secure Cuban autonomy aud reduce
the relations of the island to the
mother country to che relations which
Canada and Australia have with Eng
land is resisted strenuously at Madrid,
and Cuban independence ofSpain will
doubtless never be obtained without a
bloody struggle. The remarks of
Senior Leon y.Castillion in the Spanish
Cortes the other day show the Spanish
feeling on the subject. "No, autono -.
mists, never" said he. Spain has the
right to be an American power. Her
fac in Cuba and Porto Rico, with free
and liberal institutions, stands in front
of the Spanish American republics as
does the glorious escutcheon of their
fathers on the old manor houses of
Asturias. This is sublime gush, Of
course, FOR although the recent ten
years struggle of the Cubans for in.
dependence forced the Spanish gov
eminent to concessions, the Cu6ens
By no means enjoy free and liberal
institutions for they do not have
freedom OF the press, or entire personal
freedom. aud the mother country still
continues to apply the thumbscrews of
outrageous taxation to get funds for
the impoverished treasury at Madrid.
During the war OF independence
Spain adopted the most inhuman pro.
cesses to break the spirit of the
Cubans. The latter fought with heroic
desperation, as people who had ex-
perienced the villainies of the CAP
tains General, Lersundi, Dulce. Val.
maseda, Pietain, Concha and Jovellar
might well fight. When General
Martizez Campos completed the sub.
jugatiOn Of the battle torn Island IN
1873, the struggle had cost Spain not
less than ts25O,000,0 600 and 100000
lives. Tie Insurgents only laid down
their arms after Campos had pledged
them free pardon, restoration Of con.
hseated property and local self.govern-
ment. Tie system Of Spanish super
vision, however, has been kept up,and
the taxes are onerous. During the
ten years struggle Spain made the
merchants aud planters Of the island
pay between S40,0O0,00 and $50.
100000 a year in taxes. which fell Of
course exclusively on the whites. Eio
number only about 100000 out OF a
population Of 1,400, 900. 1t will not
be many years before the Cubans will
again revolt. A people who can make
the fight they did for ten years deserve
success. The continued drafts of the
Madrid government on the island for
funds will bring about another revolt
The government has promised a re-
duction Of taxation and important
tariff revision, and other reforms. II
these are carried out the demand for
autonomy will only be stronger.

A Republican Plan to Obtain a
Majority In the senate and
Dust David Davis.

New York Herald Speoiall
There is a belief among the few
Democratic Senators left here that
the Republicans will bring in a bill
at the beginning OF the next session
to admit Dakota, or a part Of that
State. Symptoms of an intention to
revive that project have appeared, and
the peculiar situation of parties in the
Senate gives some ground for the re-
port that it will be attempted. The
argument is that the Republicans have
no confidence in Senator David Davis,
and that many of them are weary of
the obligations to Malone. Mr..
Malone, however, is so committed to
them that, under no circumstances
would he go back to the Democrats.
Therefore, if they can't secure the ad-
mission OF two new Republican Sena-
tors they can repeat the process Of
changing the President pro tenn Of the
Senate and put in Mr.. Davis place
as presiding officer some one concern
ing whom there can be no question.
The election OF Mr.. Davis in the first
place was 50 strongly opposed by sew
eral Republican Senators, that only
through that party discipline that
makes the Republican party so com
pact and so potent were they induced
to vote ior him at all. 1.-THE attempt
is made, however, to pass an enabling
bill to admit Dakota, the contest
will be d long one. I'VE will have no
more rotten boroughs," said a Demo
cratic Senator tonight, IF we have
to keep the Senate in a deadlock from
the first day of tho session until the
last" This Senator is Of the opinion
that the temptation is an alluring one,
and that the Republicans will not be
able to resist it. Should the enabling
bill by any possibility be passed during
the first few months Of tie session, it
would be practicable for the new
State to adopt its Constitution, elect
the Legislature, and return two Sena
tors by the beginning of the next.
The party in power has always almost
unlimited political control in the Ter
ritories, and these Senators would I'M
doubtedly be Republican. Ia this
event the possibility that Senator
Davis would ever be President, By
virtue Of his election to the Presiden-
cy pro TEN of the Senate, would no
give Republicans uueasiness
after the first Monday in December,
1882.

Education Wanted in the South,
Not Ballot ROxes-A COIOred
Lecturers Views.
Boston Hsrald.l

Boston Herald.l
A very slim audience gathered in
Union Hall, last evening, to listen to
the lecture given by Mr.. William w.
Henderson, an educated eolored man
from Mississippi whose mission North
is to solicit aid Tor the furtherance Of
education among the ignorant colored
masses of the South. Mr.. Henderson
gave a brief sketch Of the progress of
his people since their emancipation,
and, from statistics cited, showed the
rapid strides made in the betterment
of their condition. He sought 10 dis
prove the oft repeated charge that the
negro is constitutionally lazy, and he
considered it an injustice to aseribo to
the many that which is deserving only
to the few. The lecturer announced
himself as a representative dfa rapidly
increasing class in the South, namely,
reconstructed negroes, whose aim is to
aid in the education of the ignorant
blacks. To accomplish this, he re-
specially s~olicits the co operation of
the intelligent colored men of the
North, as we'll az the ever charitable
whites. 1t was his opinion that more
schoolhouses and fewer ballot boxes
are needed South; that the coIornd
men are DESTROYS of obtaining educa-
ton, which is demonstrated by the
large attendance at the day and even.
ing schools, after the long days work
upon the plantation. With rudimen-
tary education merely, the colored la
oorers can protect themselves against
the thieving sharks who despoil them
Of their gains. The speaker cited
from reports compiled by Mr.. Eaton,
a we'll known statistiaian, showing
that at present there are in the South
upwards ofseventy-ive institutions Of
learning, but that this number is in
adequate to the needs Of SO large an
ignorant class. Mr.. Henderson made
a strong appeal for aid, and hope that
his efforts might not be in vain.

cause than from any hope of gain, but

ruary II, 1864, Act of Congress.

deposit as may be appointed by tbs
Secretary of the Treasury, the sum Of
ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, with IL
terest thereon from this date at the
rate of SIX PER CENT per annum
payable semi-annually on the frs
days Of January and July of eacl
year.
The Confederate States have, by al
act approved February l, 1864, enacted
that the principal and interest thereo.
shall be free from taxation, and fol
the payment Of the interest thereon

duty hereafter laid on the value Of all
cotton, tobacco and naval stores, which
shall be exported from the Confeder-
ate States, and the net proceeds OIL

thereof as may be necessary to pay

specially pledged, provided that the
duties now laid upon imports, and
hereby pledged, shall hereafter be
paid in specie or sterling exchange, OF

In witness whereof the Register Of
the Treasury, in pursuance of the
s-id act Of Congress, hath hereunto
