Tbe Revolution In Cuba.
Tin Intelligence from Cub iudloates the con
tinued totlTltf and snuoesB of the Creoles, and
it Li beoomlng extremely doubtful whether
Spain will be able to crush a revolt of eaoh
formidable proportions. A new impetus will
be glren to the -ealorn efforts to throw off the
most anolent yoke wh oh the Old World estab
lished in Amerloa, bf the resolution offered in
the Hunse of Representatives yesterday by
Mr. Banks, 'authorizing the President to re
cognize the Independence of Cuba whenever,
In his opinion, a republican form of govern
ment shall have been ia fact established;" and
this resolution would scarcely have been
.resented If there was net a strong proba
bility that the contingency it contemplates
would arise. It la reported that the Navy
Department baa reoently reoeived despatches
from Admiral lloff, who oommands our West
India Squadron, stating thot the Spanish au
thorities are becoming very muoh embarrassed,
and that the revolutionary party Id rapidly
gaining strength in the central and western
portion of the Island. The cable telegrams
announce a suooes&lon of conflicts, a confes
sion that "conciliation ia at an end," and the
cold-blooded massacre of prisoners by the Span
ish troops; and no doubt remains that the jm
tagonlsms and aspirations created, by oenturiea
Of oppression are being submitted to the arbi
trament of arms, under circumstances which
involve the final issue in doubt, but afford
fair grounds for the hope that Cuban inde
pendence will be aohleved.
Their prespeots of deliverance are muoh
Strengthened by the prevailing disorders ia
the mother country. As long as Spain could
oonoentrate her energies upon the task of
holding in subnotion a compact little island
perpetually blockaded by her fleets and held
in terror by her garrisons, it was madness for
the patriotio party to make a serious demon
stration. Even now, if the internal troubles
Of Spain could be inBtantly subdued and
tranquillity restored among ber rival factions,
the resubjngation of Cuba would be an easy
task. But eaoh day's prolongation of the
existing uncertainties at Madrid is serviceable
to the Creoles, and the necessity of keeping
watoh and ward over ultra Republicans and
nltaa loyalists at home seriously embarrasses
the efforts of the Spanish Ministry to crash a
revolt abroad.
As the Cubans have succeeded in masteriug
the difficulties which hitherto prevented the
formation of a formidable national party,
they are not only luspired by the feeling that
"Freedom's oaille ouce oeguo,
' Bequeathed frun Dlrellng aire to SOU,
Tnvuicn bHflled oft., is ever won,"
but they count confidently upon the disastrous
effeot of the climate upon any new Spanish
tioopB that may be Introduced, as well as the
prolongation of the bitter contest between
rival aspirants for the Spanish throne and
between hostile parties struggling for ascend
anoy under the Provisional Government.
The modern course of events in the United
States has greatly changed the bearing of the
Cuban revolt upon American politlos. Under
the old pro-slavery regime it was considered a
national necessity that slavery should be per
petuated In the Spanish-American dominions;
and the fire-eaters of our country were eager
to advance this infamous purpose either by
'purchase, by open seizure, or by organizing
filibustering expeditions in the interest of
pro-slavery revolutionists and annexationists.
This programme is now obsolete, and it Is the
interest of our Southern States that slavery
should be abolished in Cuba, because the
value of the sugar plantations ef Louisiana
and Texas would thereby be inoreased. While
no section of our country may derive any
immediate special advantage from the over
throw of the Spanish yoke, per se, patriotio
men of all portions of the Union will ba grati
fied bv any event which hastens the triumph
of the "manifest destiny" dootrine.
' No commbht upon the prevailing mode of
conducting legislation at Harrisburg oould be
more significant and severe than the simple
Statement of the reporter of legislative pro
ceedings, that "not more than eight public bills
have become laws this session." Meanwhile
Governor Geary has signed twenty-three prl
vate bills relating to Philadelphia, three more
are- awaiting his ' signature, about forty
additional private bills appertaining to this
city are in various stages of progress, and a
legion of private bills relating to otner sec
tlons of the State have been, or will be, passed
during the present session. Everything desl
rable or important , in nine-tenths of these
urlvate enactments could be more justly and
properly done, under the operation of general
laws, by the courts or by otner woai auiaon
ties; and In many instances they are passed at
the request of interested parties to facilitate
schemes of jobbery or to legalize fraudulent
-.-..tiAAH. Meanwhile the interests of the
State are sjstematioaliy negleoted. The Com
tnon School svstem remains unimproved. The
recommendations for the establishment of a
Board of State Charities are unheeded. The
finanolal system of the Commonwealth receives
no attention, and no efforts are made to
Jifflinrd ineaaalities. Petitions
and memorials for the accomplishment ot any
-v,,.. f .,ri ntilitv are treated with dls-
daln. The legislators are absorbed In petty
schemes (or the advancement f peuy uojeuw,
mt.A tt. a,ry, lnn-na.hla Of rising IntO S
Oar Dirty At rent- and ! iitretrw.
Oa Thursday last Couoolls adopted a resoln
tion requesting the Mayor to sign the war
rants or the contractors for cleaning the street
during the month of February. On the 1st
of March a committee of Counoils waited
upon. he Mayor and requested him to sign
these warrants, which be refused to do. It
is notorious that the contractors did not clean
the streets during the month of February,
and as the work was not done, it ia simply
defrauding the oity of so much money to pay
them the amounts whloh they claim.
In their resolution Counoils reoom
mend that the Superintendent of Street
Cleaning proceed at once to do the
work, thus taking it out of the hands of the
contractors, but on what grounds of right or
jn&tloe the money whloh those individuals did
not earn was authorized to be paid it is diffi
cult to see. In Select Connoil a minority of
the Committee on Street Cleaning presented a
report recommending that the contracts
should be annulled, that the Mayor be autho
rized to read vert ise for proposals, and that the
City Solicitor be directed to prooeed against
the securities of the delinquent contractors in
the manner provided by law.
This is dearly the course that should be
adopted, and it tbe contractors fail to falfil
their engagements to the letter, their Beonrities
should be held responsible, and a little or the
right kind of vigor on the part of the Mayor
and City Solicitor would doubtless produce
some gratifying results.
We hope that the Mayor will adhere to his
first determination and steadfastly refuse to
sign the warrants of the delinquent con
tractors in spite of the request of Counoils.
The warm weather is fast approaching, and tbe
filthy condition of the streets gives great cause
for apprehension as to the health of the oity.
If we are visited by some dreadful pestilence
next summer the street contractors will be
directly responsible for it, and not only Bhould
tbey not receive the money that they never
earned, but they, or their securities, should be
obliged to appear In court and answer for their
criminal neglect.
President I tl Cheerfulness,
"Tbb President smiled I" In fact, ever since
inauguration day he has been in a perpetually
smiling mood. The most commonplace re
marks appear to tickle his fanoy, the most
importunate begging for an office brings a
broad grin to his features; even the harmless
pleasantry of the Georgia Democrats in always
prefixing a very obnoxious adjeotlve to the
word Yankee Is responded to by a smile
Now, Several very important questions arise
In connection with this smiling propensity of
the new President. Is It possible that he
never smiled before he took the oath of offioe
on the 4th of March f Or is it possible that he
may have been aocuatomed all his life tooarry
about with him a oheerful face, without the
circumstance being noticed by any one in his
presence? Or oan it be that every man who
has encountered the President at any time in
the past has been struok by the evidences of his
lightheadedness, and jet has not regarded it as
of sufficient importance to be proclaimed to the
world ? We are unable to answer these per.
plexirg questions with that degree of positive
ness which will carry with it to the minds or
our readers the elements or authority and cer
tainty. Therefore we refrain giving any an
fcwer at all. Bat we cannot refrain from
observing that while President Grant smiles
quite as often as did his immediate predeces
sor, the latter's method of smiling was radi
cally different. The smiles of President Grant
start from his heart, and light up his face
with the contagion of cheerfulness. The
smiles of Andrew Johnson start from his Hps,
wend their tortuous way to his digestive
region, and finding It already overburdened,
dart baok to his head, setting his faoe all aglow,
scattering hla wits to the winds, and loosening
his garrulous and abusive tongue. If the Pre
sident of the United States must respond
to every greeting, query, petition, observa
tion, and joke with a smile, we regard the
responses of President Grant as preferable to
those indulged in by his predecessor.
