THE SLAUGHTER OF AMERICANS IN CUBA. That tho Fpnniarda who are attempting to Bubdao tho Cuban insurrection aro not nion trlio are capoblo of appreciating or under Standing magnanimity and impartial justico Is certain. They belong to the very worst tlasHCH of Spain, and they regard Cuba as a tich prize that belongs to them for purposes Of plundor. It has ever been the theory since Cobunbufl discovered America, that tho Now World was valuable not as an empire, but as a mine from which the mother country could draw wealth. The colonists who settled per manently in tho Spanish provinces ere long fjrore considered on much the name footing ftfl tho aboriginal inhabitants: they were al lowed no voice or vote iu tho management Df their affairs, and they were ground under loot by rapacious oflicials, whoso only idea XT&n to fill their own pockets at all hazards. It is thin unscrupulous and irresponsible class (hat make up tho volunteer forces who prac tically control tho Spanish fortunes in Cuba at this moment. Those men, cruel as they lire rapacious, having once tasted blood, are like tigers, who will not be satisfied unless their murderous propensities are pandered to. Their desire for slaughter is only second to their love of gain, and when they can vent Ihoir cruelty on no one else, they turn on their Own loaders as fiercely as they do on their natural enemies. Those men are totally imablo to understand tho neutral position of tho United States Government; and tho lack Of a sufficient naval force in the Cuban waters to protect our interests, with the detention of the various expeditions fitted out at our porta in aid of the patriots, have been con strued as indications of favor on our part to wards tho Spanish party, and it has doubtless enoouraged them to perpetuate outrages that they otherwise, would not have dared to at tempt. It is d satisfaction to know that we have JlOW a sufficiently imposing naval forco, bndor a judicious commander, who will floubtless make the name of the United States tespocted by tho Spanish authorities. On tho 13th instant Admiral lloll had an interview With the Governor at Santiago de Cuba in re ference to the execution of certain American Citizens. Three men were shot by the Spa nish authorities without the pretense of a trial, and some of them it is known were not on the island with any hostile intentions. In leply to the Admiral's demands for an expla nation, the Governor gave as an excuse that lie was unable to resist the clamors of the Volunteers for blood, but promised that in future prisoners should be tried. It is Raid, however, that as soon as the squad ron had left the place, orders wore issued not to bring in any prisoners, but to kill them on the spot. It is certainly tho duty of our Government, for the present; at least, to preserve a strict neutrality: and American citizens who join filibustering parties will Lave to run all the risks. At tho same time, we have a right to demand that our citizens lit least shall be proved guilty before a projier tribunal before tho Spaniards are allowed to tvxeak thoir vengeance on them. The town of Santiago de Cuba was thrown into a paroxysm of fright by the advent of tho American squadron, and a little wholesome terror of American power will have much effect in mak ing the Spaniards carry on warfare in a civilized manner. At tho same time it is necessary for them o know that we are in earnest, and that the continuance of American neutrality Will, in a very groat measure, depend upon their own behavior. The statement of the Governor is a confession of his inability to control his subordinates, and an acknowledg ment that the real representatives of Spanish authority in Cuba are irresponsible bands of ruffians, who recognize no law but their own torutal instincts. On this account Admiral Hoff ought to be allowed a large discretion in the discharge of his duties, so that he may act promptly when there shall bo occasion for liim to interfere between the Spaniards and their victims. JOHN CHINAMAN. The importance of a knowledge of tho charao teristiea of John Chinaman increases with the probabilities of his emigration into every portion of the country. That he possesses Home qualities which, under proper regula tions, will prove eminently useful, cannot bo doubted; but, like tho rest of mankind, vices ftnd weaknesses are strangely intermingled with his virtues, and we can scarcely expect to secure the services of an embodiment of human perfection for the small sum of twelve dollars a month. As domestic servants they have given great satisfaction on the Pacific Coast, They appear to possess what has prac tically become a lost art among the ser vants on tho Atlantic seaboard, the capacity Of obeying instructions literally and faithfully, and of doing exactly what they are told to do exactly in tho manner proscribed by tho lady of the household. After a Chinaman is told to scrub a floor, wash dishes, or make a bed in a particular way, he gladdens the heart of tidy housekoepor by his unvarying adhe . rence to his instructions. Some of tho Cali fornia matrons find it difficult to overcome the repugnance to their employment as oooks which is inspired by the reports of a Chinese fancy for peculiar diet which from time to time have been disseminated in this country; and it must be confessed that the prospect of having rats, mice, or bird's nests served up as if"TUSCd daintica ia Lyno wean agreeable fastidious American, to JUsa ta the Chinese it should be Bald, how ever, that, where this prejudice has boon overcome, they hate astonished and delighted their employers by thoir skill and economy in preparing palatable and wholo some food. Nor is this rosult surprising when wo remember that cookery is almost esteemed as a science in China, and that a careful writer on that cotintry expressos, as the result of his observations, tho opinion that they occupy in cookery a position above the English and only below tho Fronch. They cat many strange articles, but they are guiltless of wasteful extravagance and the destruction of the better qualities of good food which is constantly occurring in nearly all American kitchens. Tho Chinese aro almost universally addicted to tho uso of opium, but this serves as an effectivo substi tute for tobacco and ardent spirits; and while they no doubt shorten their lives by tho uso of their favorite stimulant, they do not suffer their love for it to interfere in any way with their daily labors. As tho Chinaman appears fully competent to furnish a good day's work for small wages, it is not surprising that ho lias rapidly grown in favor among tho employers of tho l'acific coast, and that he is gradually working his way Eastward in spite of the antagonism of those whose whole grand aim is to secure high wages for a small amount of negligent work. The nation will be disposed to welcome and protect those who can help to develop its resources. It is reported, however, that tho natural cun ning and greed of the Chinaman crop out fearfully when he becomes an office-holder in his native land, and that ho manages by fraud and extortion to plunder the natives in a manner that would even astonish the Row officers of Philadelphia or the operators of the whisky ring. A strict embargo should be established against Chinamen of this descrip tion. Wo may need lessons in cookery, in dustry, or economy, but angels and ministers of grace defend us against the introduction of any new tricks of plundering officials ! THE HOW OFFICES. Tim exorbitant fees of the How officers is one of the most powerful incentives to corruption, violence, and rascality in the partisan con ventions of this city. When we considor tho nature of the power exercised by tho delegates who are selected to nominate candidates for Sheriff, Recorder of Deeds, City Treasurer, Register of Wills, etc., we need not be at all astonished at the disgraceful character of thoir proceedings. The men who seek these offices are frequently, if not generally, of a low grade of intellect and capacity, who openly aim at plundering their fellow-citizens, not merely by obtaining tho legal fees, which far exceed a just compensation for the service rendered, but by fraudulent extortion. Tho delegates to the City or County Conventions practically decide who shall exercise this privilege; and as no special capacity except greed and un scrupulouMioss is required, their choice is un restricted, and their decision is usually dic tated by base and degrading influences. Eargidn and corruption, bribery and favori tism, fraud and force, are the main agents em ployed, under the direction and manipulation of the insidious "rings" which rule tho city. These rings are in themselves evils of no small magnitude, for tho active and energetic spirits they cement together by tho cohesive power of public plunder exert a most de grading influence over every ramification of municipal government. Moderate salaries should be substituted for the prevailing fees and percentages; and if this change was effected, tho offices would bo filled by better men, who would do better work at less cost to the public. The custom of pouring fortunes into the pockets of the scheming politicians who acquire these posi tions is not only unjust and oppressive, but it demoralizes the whole domain of local politics by stimulating into activity and prominonce the worst elements of society. In tho depart ments at Washington, men who receive a salary of three or four thousand dollars per annum faithfully discharge duties which are infinitely more important and intricate than those which our How officials charge from twenty to forty or fifty thousand dollars for neglecting; and the Treasurer and Assistant Treasurers of the United Stutes receive, pay out, and faithfully account for hundreds of millions of dollars without receiving a tithe of the compensation awarded to City Trea surers. Ono of the most essential prelimi naries to a successful reform movement is to bo found in the direction wo have indicated. While we continue to throw the shield of law over the present system of extravagant com pensation for one species of publio service, the rings will always endeavor to secure not only these lawful prizes, but to invent other methods for enriching their favorites at tho expense of the public. MORE WAX. Si.oaxakf.ti, the celebrated wax-works man, has written another epistle. The Count Von Bismark, to whom ho addressed his last, has, wo regret to say, not yet found time to indite a suitable reply. For this reason the "Judgo" found it necessary to address himsolf to some one else, and he pitched upon tho Connate, sioner of Internal Revenue, propounding to him certain queries in his capacity as "At torney of the Southwestern Distillery Associa tion." This "Southwestern Distillery Assn. ciation" appears to be a gigantic concern, in proof of which it controls not loss than forty different distilleries, and, what is still morotr. the point, rejoices in the possession of the "Judge as its attorney. Poonle who know the "JudKo" as well as ho is known in this latitude will bo inclined to sympathize with tho "Southwestern Distillery Association, upon which has fallen a greater burden of ailliction, in tho shape of the "Judge," than is generally meted out to the manufacturers of the ardent, even in tuis tneir day of sor afflictions. In this connection, we should like to know if the patent butter machine in which tho 'Jud20" van iOCvUtJy itttttiCSlsA liUS rtOYCtf ft dead failure. RATIONAL ADVICE. Titk President, it ia reported, devotes tho lire long day at Long Branch to a perusal of the New York pnpors. This fact, if fact it bo, is highly important. It shows that Long Branch is about tho dullest place for a summer resort that is to be found on the Atlantic coast. Why can't the Branchors got up a military excite ment of some sort, as was done at Capo May? Now that the war is over, nothing appoars to afford his Excellency more intense and proper enjoyment than witnessing the evolutions of militiamen. "Tho troops" invariably "receive thoir old commander with cheers," which is as creditable to "tho troops" as it is gratifying to the "old commander." It is true that wo have seen quite enough of war, and are dead in earnest when wo cry "Let us have poace !' But these frisky militiamen, albeit so enthu siastic in tho presence of "their old com mander," are tho most peaceable fellows in tho world. Thoir slumbers are not even disturbed by visions of wor; and the idea of fighting is as far removed from thoir waking thoughts as it is foreign to tho wishes of tho whole country just at present. If New York had sent her famous "Seventh" down to the Branch, instead of up into tho country, Presi dent Grant would have been afforded a far more rational amusement than that of devot ing tho dog-days to a perusal of tho New York papers. But if tho people at the Branch aro bent and determined upon boriug tho Presi dent to death in this fashion, wo would adviso him to forsake that locality, and betake him self to Atlantic City. Our Fire Zouaves will be down there in a few days, and ho will find these "troops" quite as ready to "receive their old commander with cheers" as as were tho Grey lleservcs when iu camp at the (Jape. AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A REVOLU TION. It appears that the leaven of tho revolution which overturned the Spanish Bourbons has not as yet ponetratod tho Western extremity of the Iberian peninsula. It is stated that a Scotchman doing business iu Oporto has been sentenced to six years' banishment from Por tugal by the Government of that country, for tho simple offense of proclaiming Protestant doctrines to the members of his own house hold. This manifestation of bigotry is en tirely opposed to the spirit of the ago. In every other section of Europe, except Home itself, the intolerant spirit of the middle ages has been replaced by comparative freedom of conscience. Bismark and Von Beust togother have regenerated Austria, and Serrano and Castelar have regenerated Spain, whereby the two great strongholds of bigotry have been entirely overthrown. Dom Luis, the present ruler of Portugal, has the reputation of being an enlightened and liberal-minded monarch, but if such iniquities as that just referred to can be perpetrated, even with his tacit con sent, he enjoys a reputation quite the re verso of what ho deserves. A golden opportunity is now afforded him to make his mark in his tory. If he should refuse or neglect to em brace the opportunity, the old story of tho Bourbon downfall may have a counterpart close at hand before the lapse of many years. The PoETitY of Official Life. The New York Hcralil has unearthed a poet in the Cus tom House of that city who wishes to resign his position because of conscientious political scruples. Barniun should secure this man and re-enter the show business without delay. Joyce Heth, the Mermaid, the Woolly Horse, the What-is-it ? and the bogus Gorilla wore comparatively tame as curiosities by the side of this conscientious politician. If Collector Grinnell should not prove so hard-hearted as to refuse to accept his resignation, we should be pleased to have him pass a few weeks in this city immediately after his conscientious scruples are satisfied. We should bo do lighted with the opportunity to introduce him to Messrs. Stokes, Adairo, Davis, Bunn, Cloud, and Hong, who aro utterly deficient in his most remarkable quality that of consci entious scruples against the holding of office but whose cases might not be entirely hope less if they were permitted to view with thair own eyes the poetical marvel of the New York Custom House. "Lf.t us Have Peace!" A very affecting story is going tho rounds of tho press con cerning the manner in which Millard Fillmore and Thurlow Weed were recently reconciled to each other, after having been at logger heads for ever so many years. We aro glad to see that these two venerable persons fully realize the injunctions of Scripture, but why should the publio be troubled with an account of their peacemaking ? It is of about as much importance to the world at largo, and especially to the world of politics, as the friendly embrace of a couple of well-preserved fossils of the Carboniferous period, after an earnest but unsuccessful effort at swallowing each other. Waoneh, the musician of tho future, should be looked after. The people of the present ago are quite incapable of withstanding tho torture of a style of harmony which belongs to the forty-fourth century. A celebrated German tenor, it is said, was driven to com mit suicide by participating in the rehearsals of a fantastical operatio effusion by Wagner, entitled TrMn and Isolde, and now conies a report from Munich that a famous pianist has been driven to madness by the same intoler able affair. If the suppression of Wagner is at all possible, it ought to be effected at all hazards. TIIK CITY DEMOCRACY. On Saturday tho card of Mr. Joseph N. Peirsol ap peared in Thk Evening Telegraph. It Is a docu merit full of pluin talking, aud reveals some curious manipulations of tlio tauer wires so sacredly con ceded froai tho eyes of the profane multitude, and bo adroitly pulled by tho managers when an unanN mous bawl of assent Is nooded from the delegates la convention.

It matters but little to us as Republicans whether these conflicting elements are reconciled or not, as our standard bearer, Mr. Joseph if. Murcer will unquestionably be I'lM'.tl'd llOVt full tr. .1.- l.. In nnntaat WS DTeSeilt .4i w 111 U U II I V G iu . the subject as a trustworthy indication Of the disor ganized condition of tho Democracy In this city, and m a lair sample of tha luuvliublo Uiaiulu juU?A it li jipejieacifg Uuouguout uie country. Two days after the City Democratic Convention adjourned, Mr. Peirsol, who was not declared nomi nated for City Treasurer, addressed a note to Mr. S. Gross Fry, who wag declared nominated, politely re minding him of the faots that tho convention was organized In violation of the rules, and that violence and fraud pervaded Its entire session. He asked for nothing but an honestly-conducted convention, and appealed to the nominee for a redress of these out rages by a reassembling ot the convention. Mr. Fry, two days afterwards, found leisure to cscupe from his onerous ami responsible dmica ns President or the 8pnico and Plnn Streets Hallway Company, to reply with the requisite air of Indigna tion. He disclaimed all knowledge of the facts al leged, and declined to wasto the time of the dele gates simply to gratify the whims and caprices of aspirants for public favor. In answer to this laudable push of rhetoric, Mr. Peirsol publishes six allldavits of delegates to tho City Convention, with detailed specifications of the points in complaint. Daniel F. Kelly, delegate from the Fourth division of the Twenty-first ward, swears that on the ballot lor City Treasurer a young man voted for Mr. Fry upon the calling of the names of himself, his brother, from the Seventh division of the Eighteenth ward, and Iiobort lllckey, from the Seventh divi sion of the Twenty-eighth Ward. And he further declares that, although Enoch W. ('. (ireenc. Presi dent, and John Robbing, Jr., Secretary, personally knew him, they refused his vote on the plea that It had been recorded. (Jeorgo Stahl, delegate from the Third division of the Thirteenth ward, swears the convention was not conducted fairly; that it was unsafe to vote as one chose; that the names of hlmseir and Oeorge W. Suhrlver, from the First division of the Thirteenth ward, were voted upon by others for Fry ; that while the Peirsol delegates wero consulting in the rear of the room, the Fry delegates voted upon their names; that the convention was conducted by a mob ol outsiders, and was unfair from beginning to end. John McSheeley, delegate from the Ninth division of the Second ward, swears he saw men on one ballot vote live or six times for Fry, many of whom were not delegates; that he never witnessed such a corrupt convention; that the Peirsol delegates were ill-treated and their votes otten disregarded; and that he believes Peirsol wo. ild have been nominated on a fair ballot. James S. Watson, delegate from the Sixth division of the Twentieth ward, swears that It was a common occurrence for men to vote on names not their own, and that his name was thus responded to although bo was within ten feet of tho tellers. (leorge V. Schriver. delegate from the First divi vislon of the Thirteenth ward, swears that men who were not delegates voted six or seven times for Fry, one of them upon his own name; that tho conven tion was unfair from the beginning; and that had it been conducted fairly Peirsol would have been nominated. F. II. Deal, delegate from the Seventh precinct of the Twenty-third ward, swears that his name was noted upon for Fry, and that he saw others treated likewise. In corroboration of these affidavits Mr. Peirsol gives a protest signed by one hundred and sixty-oue delegates, constituting a decided majority of the convention, declaring that convention to have been organized and conducted in violation of tho Demo cratic, rules, and asking the Chairman of the City Executive Committee to have the convention re convened at an early day. Mr. Peirsol justly char acterizes the manner of the convention as scan dalous, the frauds as unblushing, and the protest as a thing unparalleled in the history or political con ventions. The City Executive Committee having been appealed to fruitlessly, he turns ror redress to the people. He grounds his claim upon a proposition that shows his consciousness or nn invincible integ rity, and pleads his cause with an argument that scarcely another in his place would dare to use. lie says he has "acted thus far as an humble but con sistent Democrat, who 'asks for nothing but what is right, and will submit to nothing that is wrong.' " The only semblance of reparation doled out by the Executive Committee comes in tho shape of a convention to revise the rules governing the Demo cratic party, which is to assemble to-morrow morn ing, to receive the genial aud copious hospitalities of the Democratic Association of Pennsylvania. Either the chucking of this poor pittance, or the ominous protest of the majority of delegates, or proba bly both, disturbed the placid repose of Mr. T. Gross Fry In his "musings with the universe," "by the deep sea, aud music in its roar;" and from Cape May he energetically despatched a telegram on Saturday to Colonel Greene. lie mildly requested that the City Convention, ir possible, be reconvened, that his nomination may not be tainted with the slightest doubt of regularity and fairness. The old adage says, "Procrastination is the thief of time;" and Mr. Fry must either plead a "Itlp Van Winkle" slumber, despite the increase in the price of horse feed, or else be considered a receiver of that pur loined article. Colonel Greece, however, comes hand somely to his relief, and regretfully assures him that a special meeting of the City Convention requires the written request of one-lifth of the whole num ber of delegates ; his duty and pleasure require a compliance with this rule. Thus, matters remain considerably mixed up, with fair indications of a free light all around. RELIGIOUS NOTICES. KOT- HALL YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION, No. 1310 CHUB NUT STKEKT.
