Financial Condition of tho 1 Island. The N. Y. rinu has tbe following oorres Donuenee from Havana to March J3: Tbe Cuban revolutionists p ear to have taken at last a truly deolalve step, la tended to biluK ibein, to m ceitnin exient at least, tbe moral 8)U of tbe Uulted Biates and Eng land and the material aid of a large p irtton of Ilc inhabitants of tboe countries wnosesym untltles ibey already enjoyed. A proclamation Las been issued decreeing tbe Immediate aud nncondltional abolition of slavery, and qalle In contrast with a Mm liar document Issued some two mouths ago by tbe same parties. 1 which contained so many conditions a ad re irloiionsastooe almost lrnpraotloable. The Spaniards still enjoy the aid of the Pro Riurv osriT. and a respectable n urn oar of wealthy Cubans belong to It. BuoulJ this move of the Cubans prove successful, I should Lot be surprised If the Spanish Goveroment lake the same step and arm tbe n en roes t gainst their late Cuban masters, a plan which the blacks who for a generation, at least, will be unable to think or work for themselves will most readily accede to. I give a verbatim translation of the proclamation, referred to: ABOLITION OF SLAVERY. Tbe Institution of slavery brought to Cuba by the Bpauish Government should be abo lished with that government. The Assembly of the Representatives of the Centre, taking Into consideration the p.lnolples of eternal justice, In the name of liberty and the people they represent, decree: 1. Slavery Is abolished. . 2 The owners of the men who until now were slaves shall be indemnified for tbelr losses. 8. AH Individuals who In virtue or this de cree obtain their liberty, will contribute by their exertions to obtain the liberty of Ouba. 4. To effect this, all who are considered useful and fit for the inllllary service shall be en rolled in our rank", and erJoy the same pay and privileges as the remainder of the soldiers of tbe Liberal army. 5. Those who are not fit for service will, dur Ing the continuance ot the war, perform Uie same labor they perform at piesent in order to preteive the properly, and by these means aid those who are now offering their blood for the general liberty. This rule applies to all citi zens who are aready free and exempted trora military service, no matter what race they be- l!gAeclai decree will be Issued defining the means for carrying out this act. - COUNTRY AND LIBKRTY I Camagney, the ma of February. 1869.

Whether this document produces a better effect and will prove more successful than the first proclamation remains to be seen. There - Is every probability of Ha doing serious damage to tbe Bpaulards, and unless reinforcements arrive soon from Spain, the Spaniards will hold the ground their soldiers stand on and no more. The Situation. The revolution grtes lis usual way.'and re ports about so-called battles dally fill the pages of tbe Havana dailies. Toe flaming headlugs eo prominently displayed by American jour nals during tbe civil war are not to be met Within the Havanajouruals, but the boinoasile style and graphic descriptions of the heroic detdsof ye men of war lolly make up for tbe deficiency, and their readers have really come to believe that battles are and have been lortgbt. At most they e skirmishes, but any military man from tbe United States or Europe would classify them as reoonnolssances. and sometimes as saiutea , exchanged between pickets. The Fight at St lioinlniroa The Spanish version of tbi affair, as pub ll1 hed by ihe Diario, U as follows: Fnteen men belonging to tbeOivil Guards, Tntiifi.rofd hv hu count number on mounted Volunteers, attacked a party of insurgents numbering over one nnuarea, ana owing to the decision and extraordinary valor displayed by the former, tbe latter were completely routed, v. lib. blx or seven killed and not a few wounded. U lie Cuban version la told thus: Last night the detachment at St. Domingo moved lioin tbe houses where they had been compelled lo hide tbemrelvea for some time pa, and, led by a traitor, surprised a small foraging party of about twelve men, of whom ouly half were armed. The patriots, however, made a brave stand, and succeeded la not only killing fle of the enemy but In capturing a number of hones and seveial guns, the Span lards running as if a whole army was after them. Fight at Kagutv A Bpanlsh version, according to the Diario and an official despatch: 'Maoua la UKAMitE, March 6. The military commander. Don Eurlqae Trlllo Flgueroa, writing to-day from the plantation of banta Orua ue Diebano, Informs me that, having made tbe mceesary preparations to attack tue camp of the insurgent, situated on the 8o Jose farm, belonging to Don Pedro N, Abner, In tbe jurisdiction ot Santa Clara, and about a leafcne and a half from tbe principal planta tion, be was attacked by about K00 to 1000 In. argents. These, aocorulng to the report, he whipped snd, dispersed." Tue Cuban version, as communloated to your correspondent by a gentleman just fromBagua. Id told as follows: "The Governor of Sagua. with about 800 men. intended to surprise the advance guard of tue Cnoans at the ban Jose plantation.

Upon one of tbe inside pages oi this issue Will be found a telegram announcing the revolt Which occurred at Slug Bins Priion, N V .yei lerday morning. Tue following are fuller de tails of tbe second emeute: Later in the day, and between 1 and 2 o'clock, seven of tbe convicts, named respectively Timothy Donovan, Daulel O'Oonnell, El ward Magln, James MoAuley, Philip Allen, Don nelly, and William Buck, led by James MoAuley. rushed on the guurd, stationed at tue middle dock post, and having overpowered him, secured his rifle, together with a'carbine and a revolver, all loaued. Wlih these they jumped on board a sloop loaded with lumber, v. uicu iiuu juai arrived, ana oraerea me Keeper who was on board lo go on the dock under pais ef being shot. Bel nar unarmed the latter obeyed, and the convicts at once cut the vessel loose irooa the dock, after warning tbe captain and crew not to oner any resistance. jM.cA.uiey tnen com menced nrlngat the guards wno were hurrying towards tbe spot, and in this murderous volley be was joined by his companions wulle the charges In their weapons lasted. A saot from one of tbe keepers at lengta brought MoAuley down, and the captain of the sloop having wrencueu inn ourumo lruuu uig grasp, ciuooeu blm with It, While any one of theconvlots on the vessel was visible above the pile of lumber on ber deck a brisk fire was kept np by the prison otliolalB on tbe shore, and this with tbe aid of the crew overpowered the would-be runaways, who were soon landed and taken charge of. uuriDg tne anray ftio.iuiey received two shots, one entering his back, while tbe otner passed tnrongn nis ttiign toe former of wnlob will probably prove fatal. Philip Allen. another convict, was shot through the bip. His wound, however, 1b not considered dangerous. When MoAuley 's clothes had been taken off In the hnxnlt.nl a box of.Aiatohea and a, minnf t.hu State ot New York? "were found concealed on bis person. of course showing tnat bis attempt to epoape had been leisurely oouooeted. A talrd convict on board tbe vessel was seen banging from tbe lumber over the side, la order to screen himself from tbe fire of the guards, when fiue of ihe latter, aiming deliberately, snot him. He was heard by several to cry out, and was then seen to drop Into the wa'er. Liter in the afternoon it bad not bean ascertained who he was. MoAuley and Allen were recently sent here for twenty years from New York. While the noon revolt was going on It was thought that a general "break" was about to transpire, therefore a telegram was sent to the village for help. It was tesponded to Imme diately by hundreds of men armed with all sorts of weapons, and the excitement was in tense, xnis anernoon an was quiet, ana win probaDiy remain so tnrongn tne ntgut.

OFFICE-SEEKING. The Mania for Getting: Into the Govern meat Mervlce. 6ajstha New York Commercial Advertiser: Tbtre is a heavy brigade of office-seekers and their friends at VWbiugtoti. The city Is full of Item, and tbe very air is heavy with aspiration tor place. The spectacle is a curious one. Those wbo make politics a business seek office as a reward for sitting np mebts wita the party through a Iodj campaign. Important men in localities want ofiice for themselves or their Iriends, in order to retain tbetr importance and keep tbe loaves and the fishes for the sustenta lion of aelectie Poor men want. office tor the pa; it brings. Rich men soek It for t ie posi tion and importance it confers. Restle.-s mn want office to see what it is like, and easy going natures want office a means of gaining a liveli hood quietly and without too much thought as to tbe future. It is curious that auontr the seekers for ofiice wo find so mny men to compete lor poiltious whose rewards would teem to be beneath their notice. Rich men will take an ofiice whose comptneation is small, and men of undoubted capacity will tie np tbelr abilities wr.h the red tspe of a merely routine duty. Tbe hunt 1 r ofiice is so wild and general that it serves to draw the whole couimuutty within its influence. It A is not an office-seeker, he has backed B, and signed papers lor ail tbe rest of the alolia bet. - Having so many clients, he must led ao interest In some. KortuDate it is for the coun try that this eagernes lor office is not tue measure ot tbe necessity ot tbos-e wbo seek it. Borne a bo fail, despair; bat to thousands the hunt Is lor tbe excitement of the thing and it they bag no eime, they eat as heartily aDd 6leep as souudly after it as if they had achieved a grand success. Tbe disappointment soon wears off. Not so with other, who have was ei time and money and staked reputst on for oilier. To know bow denlor-ibly sad sunh men are, is a conmou experience with lookers ou in Washington. Indeed, one need not go out of town to tee all the phases of office-seeking, the joy of one, the grief of another, tbe indtderence of a third. It is tbe earning tanle over again, wlib stakes often more precious than mere gold. Why there should be a change in office wi'.h every cbarge in government is a myotery if American poll ic. Nothing, short of a Civil Service bill will core the evil, and even such a measure might prove a delusion an 1 a snare. So loDgas politicians buy office by promises, so long will tbey be called ob to n deem tbeai, and hapoy is he who bas not promi-ed everything four or five times over, ari l who has eDOuaa to sathty tbe rapacity of his followers tor cinims lie has warranted ibem in making. ProDibly Bena'or Kenton finds himself iu thest; days tu as pitiable a portion as poor Actaeon, beset by his own dogs. MRS. GRANT. Her Influence In the Presidential Ap lolntmeita. There is a good deal of talk, says the Pitts burg Commercial, over the fact tnat Mrs. Grant desired the appointment of Mr. A. T. Stewart, as it would bring ber friend Mrs. Stewart to Watbintrton, and place her within the White Ilout-e circle. It is not certain tb.it Mrs. Grant osed any influence in behalf of Mr. Stewart, or that any influence was nee led to induce bis appointment. The President, how ever, is taruly so reticent as not to consult with bis wiio on grave political que-uioos, even it he 'vnould make up his mina" betore band. It is the general impression that Mrs. Grant can ' keep a etcret," and the fact that newspaper correspondent have been upable to base any "authentic rumors ' upon her outgiv ings corroborates this view. No doubt Mrs Grant bas soon thing to say in reeard to at least EOtue ot tbe appoiatmeots, and no one will question her light, or doubt that she will give ber busuatid prudent counsel and goid advice. Tbe Cincinnati Commercial, in alluding to this matter, says: But bow is it to b managed to exclude female influence from politics in high place? It bas i ever bepu dot e yet. It Is very doubtful whether any President from Washington don (wbo was a mairied man) was wholly free Irom his wile's intiuei.ee in making uopointment?, and est.e cially for places near bis own person. A very curious chapter might be written on this sub ject. James Buchanan was a bachelor It worse wpoointments, as a whole, have been m.ido by any other Presides, it would be pleasant to know ot them. Hal the genHI old man had a shrewd, sensible wife at his elbow to ajvlse bits, bo would not have been tusenstblo that treason was plotted and carried on in his Cabinet, and as much aghast at its development a uninformed people who could seo no dauger of an attempt to disrupt tbe Uniou. If Mrs. Grant uses n tool discretion iu the clec ionof other officers as the displayed in ber pirttality for Mr. Stewart, tnere need be n j appreb'usion of serious mlolakes in the matter of appointment'. Wouea generally have a Hearer perception of the qualities and capaci ties ct men than men tbernbelvep. Their intui tions are o'ten safer than mea's rensoniug. But were they not, bo is the matter to be managed without a law making it imperative on mm in public positions not to allow their wives to i-peak to them of matters connected therewith? And that would be aga'nst the 'Vplrit of the aee;" for it ts a fact, wnicu must be reroBDizcd. that women are becoming more and more an element in politics, and may booh become a positive power.

Tne demand from abroad was acouinpanieo by vr was tbe oooaalon of a rumor tbat ihe 'u7s bad been admitted, to tbe 'call' at tbe Frankfort bourse. Tnere la no reason wby this exception should be made, and) tbe report . if true, means tbat all the ittues are now on tbe . list since ; the elitnirg of tbe Tobiio Credit bill by tho Pteatttent.

Tne Bank of England at the meeting j esitrday dld'noi change the rat of dlseonnt. as was feared in many quarters, and this fact doubt less contributed toihe foreign demand for bonds. The weekly statement of tbe int. Hint Ion sbows a gala of 57 000 la bul lion. Tbls Increase, despite ibe immense pur chases of our Donda, shows tbat money bas gone into tbe metropolis from the rural d 1st riots, wbere tbe investment Inquiry for our securities is constantly spreading. , "As a sequence of tbls Immense supply of bills against, bonds, as well as of tne contribu tion to tbe market through tbe negotiation of the sterling loan of SOO,0Oj for tbe Caraden and Amboy Railway Company, foreign exotiange was utterly demoralized, cable transfers being made at t he sljrteen n below 109. A continuance of ihe influence now operating upon the mar ket would result, very shortly, la turning ex change In our favor, when we should witness tbe curious spectacle of g ild Importations to ) country whloh bas been steadily shipping gold lor tbe past eight years." ... ;. . .j From the Tribune.

Tho transfers ot balanees to this point to the Bub Tieasury bas bad some effect upon tbe market. Tbe national bauks are also polling themselves in a strong position, as tney have been notified tbat they are liable to be called upon at any lime for a Btaiement. The first of April is a general settling day in tbe country, and the country banks will require some of their balances to be sent home. As yet, no currency bas been returned from tbe South, and the large amount be d there la likely to give a more active tone to ibe money market here for tbe next two week. " ' .
