J. 8. It O It I H'J-JLL, Ediltr.
T1o determination of the Government
in the flatter (ft the Spanish tinboats ' is
innde clearer Ij the action of the pant few
days. They have hern duly libeled in the
1 1. S. courts, on the charo that they nre
fitting out to make war, either on IVru or
ca the colony of Cuba, with both of which
the T'uited States is at pence. The united
voice ol llie Cabinet is dcclaircd to have
impelled this decision, the uews of which is
consequent upon the personal application
of Attorney l'ierpout for definite instruc.
tions. The concentration oi au unusual
force of the Amciicao Navy in tropic waters
is stated to be in anticipation ol any hostil
ity on the part of Spain.
The Government has thus asstrnieu nn
attitude uf bold and 'jtiBiistakablc vigor.
Spain claims the rijjht of a Iricndly nation
to build and fit out ships of war from our
porta. Peru, another nation with which
we nre in amity, complains that nothing ex
ists to prevcut these vessels being used
against her except our riged fulfillment of
neutral obligations. If it i.i contended
that the pretext of Peru is ballow and void,
Jet it be remembered that this Republic,
lias deliberately made herself a party to the
Cuban insurrection, and accepted all the
consequences of war by a hostile act of
rceognatioo. What man will dare nflirm
that ifctbc Cuban rebellion were it. n mouth
or two suppressed by the aid and comfort
fciviu its tyraut form our ports through a
A fleet of peculiarly dangerous guntoits,
the Spaniards would not turn their atten
tieo to Peru? What guaranty exists in
law, the dead letter of whi-jli every national
Fhylock makes his bond, that Spain will
not carry on war against Peru, which i
avowedly at war with her?
That the persecutor of Cuba will not be
ready to accuse the United States ol conspi
racy against its power we nuy imagine.
15 ut the plain and avowed truth is that the
American Continent is standing conspiracy
against all usurpation uud despotisms pluu
ted on its soil. A 'Joverunieut oi bard-,
hoarted speculxtors with human liberty
can have nothing to hope for at our bands
except the strict fulfillment of our interna
tional obligation, which, more than to
Spain, we owe to ourselves. More radical
justice, as between men who hate slavery
and those who sustain it, might have ere
this arrayed us in perilous opposition to the
lirutal rear-jjuard of retreating tyranny on
the American Contiuetit. It is well, how
ever, that the time and justice i.nd a ripe
occosion bhall decide for us. Not being in
poression of every fact nccssary to an opin
ion, we cannot say that our hour of decis
ion has struck but assuredly it is near.
Font, perhaps five, republics of America
have decided for Cuban recognition ; one or
two are virtually at wa'r witk Spain ; and
now it is asked whether the Government of
the United States will release thirty gun
boats against the positive protest of a friend
ly power, albeit the sworn enemy of spain.
The world may view, what the gods may
admire, the spectacle of a brave nation, with
a great heart, eugaged iu the honist work
of selfreprcasion, while the pirate of na
tions plunders the traveler whom the good
Samartian is powerless to aseiat. lias the
day for deliveiace coma ?
The Cuban Junta is feeling greatly ela
ted with the prospect of having Cuba re.
cognized by (be United States, and thinks
that if his people can maintain their posi
tion until after the assembling of Congress
their cause is safe. Memorials are going to
Washington by the thousand from all pans
of the country askiug for this rccognation ;
and though the Cubians are destitute, and
a'most defeated they seem to pin their faith
on Uncle Sam to so great an extent that
until he deserts there they are determined
to maintain tbo struggle.
It docs not teem possible to keep pace
with the business history of Fjsk Gould,
and others, who are manipulating the rail
road interests of the country. Every day
adds something to their movements which
in point of faot is but a modicum of their
operations as first-cluss gamblers. While
such movements should not be reoognized
by newspapers, it has become a necessity
with the people to know what these worth
ies are doing', and the press is bound to
chronicle their actions. Another big law
suit has begun. The President of the Al.
bajiy and Susqehanna railroad has made a
drive for the Erie chaps.
At a iewelry store in Bloornington, Illi
noil, the other day, a customer was trying
to select a pin that would suit him as to
priee and quality.'priCiDg everything in the
ease uotill be came to a diamond pin, valued
at $1,500 To try the customer, the jeweller
offered it it $1.50. "Well," said he, that
is about the prioe I want to pay, but the
pin is a little larger than 1 tant.

TwKXTV-rotR thousand troops have
sailed for Cuba from Spanish pjits within
the past three weeks, according to the cable
dispatch published yesterday. Tho Span,
ish Government must surely be apprehen sive
that there is even yet a vast amount of
military work to be done in Cuba. Such
heavy reinforcements have never at any
previous timo becu sent there ; in fact,
we do not thiuk that Spain has heretofore)
during tho present yeur, sent more than
ten or twelve thousand troops, all told, to
Cuba. Iocs Spain propose to make a tre
nieDdious effnt to crush out Cespedes, or
dj these twenty-four thousand new troops
constitute the L'ronintti't army for fighting
the Americans? With a Spanish fighting
force of fifty thousand ir.en iu Cuba, Capt-tain-General
do Kodas ought to be able to
hold and defend his Island agaiust the rest
of mankind.

havo Twiggs' swords returned, and was told
that, be would be sued if he did not. He
refused to interfere. The suit is brought
and published for political effect. The
whole story in regard to the swords is told
in Patron's "New Orleans," page 467. The
swords and box of silverware were found
under tho "L" of a house occupied by this

The latest concerning a Spansih fleet
which was expected off Xcw York is to the
effect that it was the iutcution of the Span
ish Admiral referred to elsewhere, to make
reprisals upon American commerce, iu the
evcot that his demands were not fully com
plied with. The diplomicy of our Gov
ernment has not been chanced, and it has
been concluded, by both parties, to await
the gunboat litigation and the aotion of
Congress. If by that time they wish to treat
to sell out, or to wake war, they will be In

judgment ia reference to the alleged losses
and frauds connected with the business,
to wit : First, That tho last exhibit of the

tho financial rcsponibility and folvency ol

material through middlti wen, yet the

such modo of making purchases. Third,
That there has been great mismanagement
in tho bindery, and that serious losses have
occurred therein. Fourth, That the gonernl

when a stranger behind htm suddenly touch

he had dropped it. Hastily turning, the

that the bill to which his attention had been

and turning back to the desk whero ho had
laid his $1,200 he saw that it was gone.

While tho new constitution is defeated in
New York by a large tiinj. rity, theie ap
pears to be some doubt as to the fate of the
Judiciary article voted on separately. There
is a majority for the article outside of tl.e
oouuties of Eric, New York and Kings of
51,271. If New York and Kings do not
give any more majority against thj judiciary
article than they did for the Democratic
ticket, then the article is udop'.id by a few
hundred votes. Its ratification, therefore,
appears probable. The substantial effect
of tho amendment will be to lengthen the
terms of the judges from eight to fourteen
years, and to submit to the popular vote iu
1873 the qucstiou of tho abolition of the
elective judiciary.
The Chicago American Churrhmnn has
a pretty clear conception of ihe Yankee.
In a late issue, in the discussion of the
Mormon question, it asserts that the knaves
in Utah are oearly all Yankees, and "apos.
tics,' '"bishops" and "elders," and all who
get the titles, while tho dupes are mainly
degraded European peasants, many of them
from England and Wales, aud members by
baptism of the English Church. Tho ed
itor says: ''There never existed but one
Mormon Irishman, and a Mormon Irishwo
man is something totally uuknown to nat
uralist."
TnE SPANISH FLEET IN NEW-YORK
WATERS SPIRITED ACTION ISY PRESIDENT
grant. Washinoton, Nov. 25.--The
rumor that a Spanish fleet of six or more
war-vcssols has been ordered to rendezvous
iu NeYork harbor creates a preat deal
of comment here. The President, not
understanding the reasons for the sending
of this fleet to our shores, and in order to
be prepared for any emergency that may
arise, has ordered that the double-turrcted
iron-clae monitors Miantonamah and Terror,
and a torpedo-boat, from Fortress Monroe,
be fully manned and sent to cruise in the
harbor of New-York.
Well Posted. One fine day, somo time
ago, three English ladies visited the studio
of Randolph Rogers, in Rome. Oue of
them, thin, weak. voiced aud near sighted;
another equally slight and deaf; the third a
stout, heavy lemale, with a deep masouline
voice, who evidently played the interpeter
for the purty. Stopping in front of ouo of
his statuettes, Mr. Rogers said : "This is
Nydia, tho blind girl of Pompeii." "What
is it?" squaked the near-sighted one, "Hey!
hey! what did he say I1' chimed in the deaf
lady. ''Nubia, the bliud girl of Bombay !"
thuudered the accomplished and well-read
interpreter, thus thoroughly posting . her
and petrifying with astonishment the sculp
tor. Albert D. Richardson, the former
war corrdspondent of the Tribune, was shot,
and perhaps fatally wounded, in the Trib
une counting-room, on Thursday, by a man
named McFarland, who claims that Rich
ardson has stolen the affections of bis wife.
It's along story and one of scandal. It
does not yet appear, to a certaiuty, whether
the charge agaiust Richardson is ccorrect.
Neither does it appear but that he has ac
ted toward Mrs. McFarland the part of an
honorble gentleman. The subject is tffi.
cient, however, considering the parties iu.
