THE IMPENDING SUPPRESSION OF
THE CUBAN REVOLT. ,
Mrcn afl we hnve tlcmred the succors of the
Cubnn revolutionists, wo fenr that the pros
pects of their triumph are growing "small by
degrees nnd bountifully loss." Various causes
wo combining to extinguish thoir movement,
and to render tho domination of the mother
country more complete thnn ever. Tho
Spaniard have made war in no rose-water
fashion. When they found that tho perpetua
tion of thoir power was seriously endangered,
they took up arms in earnest, and fought the
rebellion in the most sanguinary manner.
Instead of imitating our example in "ad
ministering tho oath of allegiance" to captured
prisoners and then restoring them to liberty,
they have either killed, imprisoned, or ban
ished all tho patriots that have fallen into
thoir power, and they have freely imposed the
pains and penalties of confiscation. Twelve
hundred valuable estates have already been
seized by the Spanish authorities, and many
illustrious natives havo fallen victims to
Spanih cmolty. These acts of oppression are
sustained not merely by the regular army,
but by sixty thousand well-armed volunteers,
Composing all the active Spanish residents
and some of tho Creoles who adhere to the
mother country. During the last few
months they have promptly suppressed
every patriotic demonstration in the
more populous and productive portions of tho
island, and the insurrectionists have barely
been able to maintain a precarious foothold
in comparatively inaccessible regions. The
self-impssed expatriation of thousands of
Creoles is at once a proof of the success of
the Spanish arms, and one of tho most potent
Causes of Cuban defeats. It is estimated that
eight thousand of tho exiles are now domi
ciled in Now York, and two or three thousand
in this city. A large number have also sought
safety in other portions of the United States,
in Europe, or in the islands contiguous to
Cuba. Since they do not stny at home to
fight out the battle for freedom, who else can
be expected to secure their deliverance ?
From time immemorial "men who would be
free, themselves must strike the blow." Our
revolutionary ancestors would never have
achieved independence if they had flocked
by thousands to foreign lands, and the South
ern Robollion would have been speedily
quolled if a large proportion of the leading
llobels had abandoned their native country,
The excuse of the refugees is that if they had
remained in Cuba they would have lost their
property, and probably their liberty and lives.
This is, in itself, a confession of defeat, for if
they cannot find shelter and a vantage ground
for continued resistance on their native soil,
their prospects must bo desperate indeed.
The turning point in the struggle
appears to have been the expulsion or with
drawal of Dulco and the appointment of De
Kodas as Captain-General. Tho wife of the
former is by birth a Cuban; and as ho shared,
to some extent, ner sympatny lor the insur
rection, he failed to adopt vigorous measures
for its suppression. His successor, however,
is restrained by no sich scruples, and, acting
i n hearty accord with the volunteers, he has
speedily changed the whole aspect of affairs.
Tne last nope 01 tne uuoans centred in
aid from the United States. But here, too,
they have been baffled by the stringent en
forcement ot tne neutrality laws; ana since
they will not stay at home to fight their own
battles, and cannot export cargoes of despe
rate Americans to brave disease and every
form of danger in support of their cause, the
Appomattox of their rebellion has nearly been
reached. So thoroughly has tranquillity been
restored in the habitable portions of the island,
that it is supposed now, by those familiar
with its industrial operations, mat tne sugar
crop will not be materially diminished,
for on a very large proportion of the
estates the ordinary labors are continued,
without tue slightest cierangemont or
interruption. Tho very latest scheme, in
view of tho manifest failure of tho appeal to
arms, is a project to purchase tho island from
Spain with bonds given by Cuba and endorsed
hy tne united Mates, we nope, however,
that the national authorities will not sanction
for a moment this wild-goose speculation.
We have pecuniary dimculties and responsi
bilitios enough of our own without assuming
those of other people. A national debt of
twentv-five hundred millions, and State,
county, corporation, and municipal indebted
ness ot aggregate uimensions, wnicn are
scarcely less fearful, are quite as much as we
ran conveniently manage: and it will be vain
to nrate of economy in small matters if we
are to be made the bankers and backers of
foreign revolutionists.
THE IRISH CHURCH HILL.
The Irish Church bill, as amended in a few
details j by the House of Lords, passed in tho
House of Commons last night without a ui
vision, the leaders of both parties agreeing
Cordially to this adjustment. This event is
one of the most significant in the modern
parliamentary history of England, for it con
stitutes a double triumph of progress and
liberalism. It overthrows an iniquitous eccle
siastical despotism, and at the same time do
moustrates that the hereditary aristocracy of
the realm, despite their desire to perpetuate
antiauated abuses, dare not maintain a persis.
t.nf aititnrtn of Mitaaonisin to the acknow
ledged will of the nation. While one of the
to which Ireland has long been
subjected is removed, Englishmen can also
feel that they have gained a new proof of
their control over their own Lrovernmeni,
i in addition to a wide extension of
the right of suffrage, they can confidently
aV tely upon the enforcement of tho
TIIAT WOMAN SITED DEN.
Shedden is a woman. Thore is nothing ex
traordinary in that circumstance, for there are
a great many women in tho world; but the
fact that Sneddon is a very remarkable woman
is a little extraordinary, and renders it neces
sary that she should not pass by unnoticed.
In truth, Sneddon has boon up to things of
late which lead us to regard her as being even
more remarkable than Miss Anna E. Dickin
son, or Miss Susan I?. Anthony, or Miss
George Francis Train, or any othor of tho
women, homely and comely, young and old,
big and little, who aro just now engaged in
tho praiseworthy task of uprooting, over
turning, and utterly and forever demolishing
that most detestable of nil the vertebrate crea
tion man: for Sheddeu has displayed an
amount of voluminous volubility, of long-drawn-out
prolixity, of unutterably unmiti
gated gab, which quite throws into tho shade
any and nil of the tongue-lashing achieve
ments of George Francis. Susan 1?., Anna E.,
and all the other women as aforesaid who are
engaged in the laudable task of extermination
nbove noted. Shcdden has a lawsuit on her
hnnds, and has contrived to get into chancery
by reason of it; but sho is decidedly the
ugliest customer to handle, even when once
gotten into chancery, that appears on the re
cords of the English courts. She undertook
to argue her own case before tho big-wiggod
gentleman who presides over tho court, nnd
argue it she did, and with a most insufferable
amount of vengeance withal. For twenty-one
days she rattled away, coming up to tho call
of time on the twenty-first daily round with as
much of freshness, coolness, and amiability
as she exhibited at the start; and when the
sun set for the twenty-first time on her un
tiring and unflagging tongue, she blandly
requested a few days more in which
to expound certain principles of
law upon which she had, as yet, found no
time to dwell at length. We regret to an
nounce that tho big-wigged vertebrate
refused to grant an extension of timo, and
that with the twenty-first sotting of the sun
on Sneddon's rigmarole she ceased to shod
light upon the issue which had been joined.
We have heard of a chancery suit which was
started by the children of Christopher Colum
bus, and only reached its termination a few
years ago, having drawn its slow length along
through four centuries, more or loss. But
there was no such rare episode connected
with this as a twenty-one days' argument, and
that by a woman. Sneddon, we believe, has
not been admitted to the bar, and we trust
she never will, for if sho should be admitted
the English courts would bo compelled to
close their doors at once. We sincerely trust
that such of the advocates of women's rights
as are especially anxious' to have tho fair sex
granted the privilege of engaging in the prac
tice of the law will read the story of Sneddon
and pause. A half dozen Sheddeus would up
set our entire judicial system in as many
months.
ANOTHER BOSTON JUBILEE.
The big jubilee did not exhaust Boston by
any means. Un the contrary, the Hubbites
are impressed with the belief that they could
keep the thing going for an indefinite length
of time. The first grand explosion only served
to impart an agreeable exhilaration and a
desire for more. Tho Coliseum is standing
desolate and empty, and why should it not
be put to use ? So Boston has determined to
have another little jubilee for its own special
delectation. The whole United States and
tho rest of creation participated in the first
affair, and it was arranged for the purpose of
glorifyng Boston in the eyes of mankind. A
little private jubilee will, of course, only at
tract tho few summer tourists who may be
passing through the Hub, and Boston will,
therefore, have the enjoyment of the occasion
pretty much to itself. Tho big drum is still
intact, and none of the great organ pipes are
"busted," while the other paraphernalia con
tinue in good order, and it would be a sad
waste of raw material to allow them to remain
unutilized.
The occasion for this second grand demon
stration is the landing of the French cable,
which Boston has resolved to celebrate with
hymns of praise and songs of thanksgiving,
adapted from Verdi's Tmviata, Mozart's Don
Gieanti, and other high-toned religious
works, whilo patriotio sentiment will be
stimulated by a grand rendering of "Yankee
Doodle" by the grand combined orchestra,
and, as a compliment .to 1 ranee, "Un Mari
Sage" the duet of the ' 'Gens d'armes, " and other
choice national airs by Offenbach, will be given
in the best style that the musical talont of
Boston is capable of. This second Jubilee will
be a sort of echo of the first; and as the dog-
days are upon us, we can only hope that the
enthusiasm of Boston will be restrained
within reasonable bounds, and that no ill
consequences will follow. Of course the
Mayor of Boston and the Mayor of Paris (we
i ..l: av 2.. .
ueuuvu more is a mayor in I'aris; will ex
change congratulatory messages, and perhaps
evenj Boston may be mado supremely happy
by a message from the Emperor Napoleon
regretting that he is unable to attend on ac
count of pressing business engagements at
home. In which case' Boston will of course
put a new coat of gilt on the State House
dome, the usual way of expressing extreme
felicity at the "hub."
"Bhick" Pomeroy has turned temperance
lecturer. What will the thirsty Democracy
who gathered about "Brick with such enthu
siasrn at Horririburg tho other day have to say
to this change of base? Tho fluids which
"15rick" now assails are about all that is loft
in the way of agencies for creating that peeu
liar red heat which has contributed ho much
to the popularity of the renegade "Brick."

Vallandlffham's explanation of Rosoorans' nomi
nation for Governor f Ohio Is to the effect that
since the Copperheads the word Is his were made
to take a back seat, it was but. fair the War Demo
crat should accompany them, and so he preferred
to take a Republican candidate.
In a recent speech made by ex-Governor Throck
morton, of Texas, lie said that while he disliked
some portions of the proposed Constitution, he
thought that the Interests of the people of the State
demanded Its adoption, lie thought, the people had
been unjustly accused of lawlessness and orlme, the
muss having been condemned for the acts of the
few, but he earnestly appealed to them to obey the
laws, civil and military, and to lend every assistance
to the Mate and national authorities in suppressing
(-rime and punishing desperadoes. Privately he ex
pressed himself In favor of the election of A. j. Ham
ilton as Governor.
The full ticket nominated by the temperance
party In Ohio for State oltlcers Is as follows: Gover
nor, J. K. Ingersoll, of Cuynhojia; Lieutenant-Governor,
Dr. WailKWorth, of' Cincinnati ; Treasurer of
State, Thomas I'.dinondson, of Clarke; Attorney
Geneinl, J. A. Sumner, of Summit county; member
of the lioard of Public Works, L. B. Silver, of Colum
biana county.
Illinois this year elects no members of the Legis
lature, hut delegates to the Constitutional Conven
tion Instead. The woman sutlnige people are work
ing hard to get their principles into the convention,
and the temperance party will vigorously contest the
select ion ot delegates on prohibitory grounds.
If the Californian and Australian gold-fields
are really beginning, as sonic persons assert, to
show symptoms of exhaustion, it may be a con
solation to learn that the philosopher s stone has
been discovered, and can supply their place. A
French paper, the (laulois, seriously informs its
readers that, encouraged by a prophesy- of Nos
tradamus, M. Fretreau. formerly an assistant of
the famous chemist (iay Lussac," has turned his
attention to alchemy, and has at last succeeded
in converting!, a lingot of silver into a lingot of
gold by the combined action of nitric acid and
electricity. It is true that the cost f produc
tion exceeds many times the value of the article
produced, so that M. Fretreau rather reminds
one of lluymoiid do Lulli. an alchemist of the
sixteenth century, of whom Brantome naively
relates that, disdaining to turn lead into gold, a
very easy and common process, he actually suc
ceeded iu converting gold into lead.

Gents : A persistent but unsuccessful effort waa
made on the night of May 29, 1S09, to drill tha
Banker's chest received from you a few menth ago.
From facts that havo come to our knowledge, It la
evident that the attempt to open it was renewed on
Sunday evening following. Finding all efforts to drill
it useless, the droit was then made to break the
lock. The hammering was beard by parties 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 is another evidence that your
Banker's Chests are what you claim for them, Burglar-Proof.
