lis Wish Regarding Americans
Fighting in Cuba.

Julio. Sanguilly, a citizen of the
United States, who has been con-
demned by the Spanish authorities
to perpetual imprisonment in
chains in Cuba, was the subject OF
a letter and correspondence sent
oy the president to- the senate
Mon4ay. The matter was fur
nished in answer to resolution Of
January 6. The secretary of state,
in his report to the president, says
chat representa- tion has been made
to the Spanish government, which
it is believed will not be without
Effect, and that the Case seems to
De one in which the executive
clemency hay be reasonably ex-
ercised.
The correspondence contains
letters stating that Julio Sangr I
lad been arrested on suspicion f
.consplr;ng against the govern
n snt, and that the American con-
sui, fearing he might be imme-
liately shot, represented to the
captain general that he was an
american citizen. As he was not
captured with arms in his hands,
It was sought to have him tried by
"a civil court instead of a court
martial.
Tie captain general, says Con-
sul-General Williams, evinced dis
pleasure when he learned that San
gully had been recognized as an
American citizen by both govern
inents, saying that Americans werel
conspiring against Spain in the
United Stkss, and he would shoot
every one found with arms in his
nands against the government of
the island, regardless of the con-
sequences. After some correspond |
snce the cases Of Sanguilly and
'guirre were transferred to civil
jurisdiction, and the delay in their
trial was attributed TO their nation
ality, and after many efforts to
have Sanguilly's case come to trial, |
the secretary of state on Septem-
Der 8 last demanded his immediate
trial or release. Aguirre was re-
leased and Sanguilly sentenced to
for life.
The last communication is dated
January 6, last, and is letter from
,eonsul-General Lee to Assistant
Secr etary Rockhill. Mr.. Lee had
just visited Sanguilly, and says
that ne is not in good health and
is suffering from old wounds. He
,riehy reviews the arrest and trial !
Of the prisoner, and suggests to
the state department that the Ma
drid government be notified of the
facts and request presented that
be released from prison
on condition that he will not return
until the present war has closed.

The Lease from Two Aspects.

long the many points used to
d ..onstrate the invalidity Of the
lease Of the North Carolina rail-
road we will at present mention
two that any man, lawyer or not,
can see the force of them:
In the first place, when the leg
islature grants franchise to a cor
poration it is a trust for that cor
poration to operate, and it has no
right to abdicate its functions by
selling or transferring its franchise
to another corporation created pos
sibly by another state. Hence the
supreme court Of the United Safes
has held at least four times, and
possibly oftener, in the las ten
years that an attempted lease ,y a
corporation for ninety-nine ears
was absolutely void, being tanta-
mount to a sale, which the corpor-
alton has no authority to make. In
these cases the court intimates that
a twenty year lease is on the verge
of what would be admissible.
Secondly. Inthe decision of Ais
brook VS.. Wilmington and Weldon
Railroad company in which our
supreme court utterly shattered and
broke to pieces the long exercised
claim of the Atlantic Coast Line
for exemption from taxation, Judge
Clark, in delivering the opinion of
~i--------A, i~,.--damn- as, one of the
reasons why the exemption claimed
was invalid that it was a perpetual
exemption, and that all perpetui-
ties were forbidden in express
terms by our constitution. On
writ of error, the supreme court Of
the United States, Chief Justice
Fuller delivering the opinion, af-
firmed the decision of our court in
toto, though it is true he did not
refer to this particular head. We
take it, though, that this rulinS
was affirmed together with the rest
Of the opinion, and if SO the chart
er of the North Carolina railroad
can either be declared invalid at
any time upon proper proceedings
as an attempt to confer per oetui-
| ty, for there is no limitation in its
charter, or else at mos it cal be
claimed that it is valid for sixty
years according to the limitations
prescribed in the general statute al
that time for all corporations, in
which evens its charter is about
out, and it could not certainly lease
for a longer time than its own
charter.
There are other fatal objections
to the lease which it may be nec-
essay to bring out at another
time. News and Observer.

BIockake of Charleston Harbor.

Secretary Herbert has accepted
an invitation from the Charleston
Chamber of Commerce to visit that
city ,n the 18TH instant, WI n it is
expe tied Admiral Bunce will be
carrying out his plan Of instituting
4 sham blockade of the port with
all the available ships Of the North
Atlantic squadron. The details OF
the Admi. ais plars have not been
given out, nor in fact are they yet
known at the Navy Department,
but the officers say, to guard
against popular disappointment,
that very little of the squadron will
be seen at Charleston during the
blockade. The ships are gener-
ally OF heavy draft, making it
hazardous for them to attempt to
enter the harbor, and consequently
they will be obliged TO lie well off
at sea, lying in wait for the one or
two snail craft that will be select
Ell to run the gantlet.
If the blockade is maintained for
any length Of time, it probably will
cause the feet to use Port Royal
naval station as base from which
to draw coal and other supplies,
and for a refuge in certain emer-
gencies. The accident to the
Brooklyn is deplored by the off,
GERS, for she would have been a
valua' additi... to Admiral
Bunce squadron. 1t Is probable
that many OF the merchant steam.
els and sailing coasters running
into Charleston VII be pressed
into service, all unknowingly by
the Admiral, as representing
would-be blockade runners
