Cuban belligerency resolutions, but
will postpone giving them effect by o
declaration, indicate that the nature of
the resolutions is not even yet under

peatedly explained they are concur

grown up in recent years in Congress

President, who may act upon them or
not as he chooses. but in no case is
called upon to sign them. Similar reso-

Gen. Peyton Wise, chairman of the
executive committee for the United
Confederate Veterans reunion to be
held in Richmond the latter part OF
June and the first of July, has issued
an address to the Ladies' Memorial
Association and Camp Auxilaries Of
Richmond. The address says:
"Under the organization for the en-
tertainment of the Confederate Veter-
ans at their forthcoming sixth reunion,
I have to appoint committee to
entertain ladies and for other important
purposes. 80.
&c will be the special business of this
committee to gee that the lady sponsors

in every necessary way; to consider,
and arrange for executing, when adopt
ed, plan of diversions for the Copfed-
crate Veterans themselves, when they
are out of convention and to do such
other work as may from time to time
be referred to them.
I confidently invite the officers and
executive committees of the associations
to which this is addressed to be the
committee named. I shall invite one
of your number to summon the com.
mittee thus constituted at an early day.
When met, it must make its own
organization. It csn do it far better
than / can. Truth is, I think SO much
of ali of you, that did l undertake to

boat were Mr.. and Mrs. Benjamin Koe

woman and sing snatches of the tender
est love songs and then shout trium-
phantly, "She is mine! She will never
leave me nowW Mrs. Koeger was
taken to q house where she was re-
stored to consciousness. Mr.. and Mrs.
Koegar are wealthy, and live near Co,
Goa. They have been noted for their
devotion to each other. Recently Mrs.
Koeger became heir to property in Ger
MANY. This necessitated trip to that
country with her husband. She left
home at six o'clock in the morning, in
a boat for Titusville to board the train
for New York. "My husband has
brooded greatly over our approaching
separation" said Mrs. Koeger, land

THERE is nothing too inconsistent &c

THERE is nothing too inconsistent for
men, let alone for politics, and though
Secretary Carlisle says the success OF
his party is of more consequence to
him than his own, there is little doubt
that should the cuckoos and the "Cleve-
land democracy" control the Chicago
convention, as many of them now seem
intent upon doing, he would accept the
nomination, if the President should
not. Both aided the republicans
in New York, Maryland and Kentucky
in defeating the democratic tickets in
those States. But political delinquen-
cies are not remembered in this coun-
try now, and as money controls both
nominations and elections here, strange
as the nomination of either would APP
pear to old time democrats, it would
not be so to cup to date" politicians.

THE CUBAN resolutions advise the
President to tender the good offices OF
this government to Spain in etlectl7g
the independence of a part of her terri
tory in which some negroes and mulat-
toes and few white scalawags are in re-
volt, and who are devastating planta-
tons, looting and burning private houses,
numbering civilians and outraging wo-
men. The adoption of such resolutions
by Congress is a gross and gratuitous
insult to friendly nation, and would
not have been thought of if it were a
more powerful one than it is. But such
has been the recent course Of this gov
eminent, that if Spain shall resent it,
there is a strong probability that she
will not be without European support.
