THE SALE OF CUD A.
A rROJi:ox is on foot to settle the Cuba ques
tion by a wile of the island to tho Cubans,
with the understanding that the United
.States shall guarantee the bonds of tho revo
lutionists. Tho consummation of this scheme
would add ft burden of a hundred millions of
dollars to tho heavy debt which is now im
posed upon American tax-payers. This may
heeni a light matter to schem ing politicians,
who hope to derive incidental or direct advan
tage from tho expenditure, or to receive bro
kerage for arranging the transaction. But
the poople look with little favor on any pro
position that 'would retard tho reduction of
the public debt, which is now causing such
universal satisfaction, and they are in no
mood to welcome an increase of tho ox
actions of assessors and tax
collectors, for the benefit of the
inhabitants of a foreign land. However much
we may sympathize with the struggling
Cubans, the toiling mnsses of this nation have
a paramount claim to tho consideration of tho
Government, and their rights, interests, and
prosperity should be the highest objects of
governmental solicitude. Americans naturally
Hympathizo with the victims of oppression in
every land, but experience has confirmed the
nndorlying idea of the policy established by
Washington, that we can best help others by
ensuring the success of republican institu
tions on our own soil, and do infinitely more
good by our example and our readiness
to welcome immigration than by armod inter
vention or a lavish expenditure of money.
France, in undertaking to establish liberty
throughout Europe at the point of the bayonet,
lost her own freedom. If tho United States
endorses all tho schomes that can be concocted
to burden the National Treasury with tho cost
of contiguous territory, to purchase tho Danish
West Indies, to buy Canada, to replenish tho
Mexican exchequer, to endorse the Cuban
bonds, to restore tho ruined credit of tho
South American anarchies, and to become
sponsors for the Irish republic, our own credit
will speedily bo destroyed, and our own posi
tion become as lamentable and hopeless as
that of the prostrate nations of tho earth. If
any extraordinary expenditures are to be in
curred in future, they should be only such as
will help to develop tho matchloss resources
of our own country and increase the current
receipts of the National Treasury.
THE IRISU CUURCI1 BILL.
Mb. Gladstone has been prompt and doci
Hive in his action with regard to the Irish
Church bill as amended in the House of
Lords. Last night the bill was brought up
in the House of Commons for the considera
tion of the amendments. The report of the
proceedings that comes to us by the cable
states tkat Mr. Gladstone on rising was
greeted with loud cheers by the Liberals and
deriaive shouts from the Tory benches all of
which, of course, has the sanction of imme
morial British custom, and is a very different
thing from the disorderly conduct that some
of our English critics censure in American
legislators.
Mr. Gladstone, in announcing the intentions
of the Ministry, went straight to tho point,
and stated that the Government proposed to
restore the preamble, and the date of disesta
blishment as they appeared in the original bill,
and thoy would oppose all tho amendments
made by the Lords, except those relating to
curates' annuities and to the protection of
annuitants. If the House of Commons sup
ports the Ministry throughout, the bill will
go back to the Lords in substantially the same
shape as when they first received it. That it
will do this appears to be certain, as last night
the amendment of the Lords with regard to
endowments was disagreed to by a vote of
3i6 against 222, making the majority for
the Government 124. The amendment in
regard to the appropriation of surplus funds
was also disagreed to by a vote of 210
against 164, making the Government majo
rity 82. This is a decisive triumph for the
friends of the bill, andlt is scarcely likely tliat
the Lords will refuse a second time to accede
to the wishes of the lower house. The feel
ing against them on account of their opposi
tion is being intensified every day, and the
wholesome fear of the "unpleasant accidents"
very plainly hinted at by Mr. Bright will pro
bably bring them to terms without muiih fur
ther difficulty.
The Age this morning copied the brief
sketch of non. Cyrus L. Pershing, the Demo
cratic candidate for Judge of the Supreme
Court, which was given by our Harrisburg
Correspondent, and which, as our readers will
remember, was quite satisfactory as far as the
pergonal character and legal acquirements of
that gentleman are concerned. Will the Age
to-morrow morning have the candor to copy
still further from our columns to the effect
that Mr. Pershing studied law with that well
known legaf quibbler and ardent perverter of
constittitional and statute law, Jerry Black,
with whose antediluvian and dangerous no
tions he is in full accord ?
Senatob Buokalew opened his speech to
the Democratic State Convention with a oom
pliment to the numbers and respectability of
the persons he addressed. He left his audi
ence in doubt, however, whether his admira
tion had been excited by the dexterity dis
played by the gang which had depleted his
pockets as he entered the doorway, or by the
stunning appearance of Brick Ponieroy, the
distinguished guest of the occasion.
JFDAS ISGARIOT.
On our Bixth page will be found a poem rn
titled "A Koman Lawyer in Jerusalem First
Century," which originally appeared in
Blackwood's Magazine. The piem is well
worthy of perusal on its own account, as some
of its passages are exooodingly graphic, and
tho author has worked out his thome with not
a little skill; but it is particularly interesting
as an attempt to give a new viow of the char
actor of Judas Iscariot; and tho argument is
based upon the supposititious narrative of the
Roman centurion who arrested Christ, and
who professes to have been intimatoly a3
quninted with Judas. Of course the author
has for his only source of information
the story of Christ's betrayal as
told by the apostles, from which
the usual unfavorable estimate of
tho character of Judas has been doducod.
The poem is an effort to discard the reveren
tial ideas that have grown up about the figure
of Christ and his disciples during the lapse
of centuries, and to look upon them as actual
living men, just as they appeared to their
contemporaries. The argument in favor of
Judas is that of an impartial and candid ob
server, a Roman lawyer, who had no reason
to look upon Christ with the aversion that
the priests and ruling classes of the Jews did,
and who was able and disposed to consider
judicially all the facts of the case as thoy ap
peared on the surface. As a work of art the
poem is far from perfect, and the argument is
rather specious than profound. It opens up
a supposition, however, that is worthy of
consideration. Judas, according to the ac
count of his friend the centurion, was a man
of profound sensibility and enthusiasm
in the cause of his master: ho was
more intelligent and more devoutly
convinced of the divine mission of Christ
than any of his disciples. His apparent act
of treachery is described as the result of a fit
of fanatic enthusiasm, by which he hoped to
confound tho enemies of the Master, and
hasten the day when all his power as
the Son of God should be manifested. The
instant remorse of Judas is made perhaps tho
strongest argument in favor of this view of
his character, and there aro some points, as
the thirty pieces of silver for instance, that
are not disposed of altogether in a satisfac
tory manner. As wo have said, the argument
is rather spocious, although to some degree
plausible; and it is to be considered not so
much as a serious attempt to vindicate the
character of Judas, as an artistic effort to
estimate what a man of a certain tem
perament and cast of mind might
do under certain circumstances. As
a psychological study, the Judas of the poem
is imperfect, although the portrait is drawn
with considerable skill. The writer, however,
has failed to penetrate beneath some of the
more superficial signs of character, and while
the inconsistencies of real human nature are
fairly estimated, tho profound depths have
not been touched as some of the master
poets could have touched them in handling
the same theme. The poem, however, is one
of real power: it is graphic and original, and
is well worthy of a careful perusal.
The platfobm adopted by the Democratic
State Convention was reported by Hon. F.
W. Hughes, of Schuylkill county, one of the
old stagers of the party, who is prominently
identified with all its past transgressions, and
who took care to inject into the resolutions
doctrines which have repeatedly been re
jected by the American people. He evidently
favors the complete annihilation of the set
tlement of the war issues which is now re
storing peace and order, and Packer's election
would be construed into a verdict for renewed
opposition to the existing system of national
government.
It is rumored that the leading Democrats
of Philadelphia are determined to secure a
reconstruction and partial purification of their
city ticket. They do not like to be burdened
in the gubernatorial contest with objectiona
ble local nominees, and they will make despe
rate efforts to throw their Jonahs overboard.
If the Ilepublicans do not adopt a similar
policy, they will be outgeneralled by their
enemies.

Banker's chest received from you a few menth ago.
From facts that have come to our knowledge, It la
evident that the attempt to open It waa renewed on
Sunday evening following. Finding all efforts to drill
It useless, the etfort waa then made to break the
lock. The hammering waa heard by partiea In the
neighborhood for several hours, but supposing It to
arise from the railroad men replacing a defective
rail, excited no alarm. The tools, with the exception
of the drills, were left. It Is evident that they were
not only prepared, but perfectly familiar with the
construction of your Chest.
That they failed ia another evidence that your
