SrAIN AND CUBA.
The existing Provisional Government of
Spain is placed on the horns of a dilemma by
the present aspect of the Cuban question.
Beleaguered with dangors at home, it can illy
afford to conduct an expensive campaign
abroad, which promises to terminate eventu
ally in a disastrous defeat. The secret letter
of the Spanish Minister at Washington, which
is said to have been intercepted, expresses a
lively fear that as soon as Congress meets it
will recognize the independence of Cuba, and
if such recognition is accompanied by the
grant of opportunities to the revolutionists
to obtain aid and comfort in this country, it
will be impossible for the Spanish troops to
conquer the rebellion. "Whatever is to be
done must therefore be done soon, and if De
Rodas cannot crush the insurrection in sixty
days it is only a question of time when the
whole enterprise must be abandoned as im
practicable. The proposition submitted by the United
States at this juncture, that Spain shall sur
render Cuba with the understanding thut the
Cubans are to pay a fair price for the publio
buildings, and their share of the Spanish
debt, would, if adopted now, promote the
true interests of both the conflicting parties,
and at ouce mitigate the horrors and ravages
of war and help the cause of free govern
ment in the mother country as well as in the
rebellious colony. It would replenish the
Spanish treasury and reduce its expendi
tures, and yet save for the Cubans more than
the tribute which the proposed arrangement
would exact.
If the Spanish Government declines this
proposition, despite the cogent reasons urged
in its favor, it will be mainly because it fears
that the pride of the nation will revolt against
the surrender of a possession which has been
held for nearly four centuries. If Cuba is
voluntarily given tip, the discontented fac
tions and the royalists will accuse the existing
administration of a direct betrayal of the na
tional interests, and impute to the basest mo
tives an action prompted by the purest and
wisest statesmanship. It is doubtful whether
the present rulers, who hold their power by
a precarious tenure, could resist the storm;
and, if they reject the American proposition,
it will be mainly because fear of their turbu
lent constituents is their ruling principle of
action.
NO MORE NA T URA L IZA 110 N
FRAUDS.
The gross naturalization frauds which were
perpetrated about one year ago through the
facilities offered by the Court of Nisi Triiis,
and which we were chiefly instrumental in
exposing, suggested the imperative necessity
for a thorough reform in the whole manner
of conducting this important business.
The matter is one that Congress onght to
deal with without fufther delay, and afford pro
tection to legal voters by taking the power of
granting naturalization papers out of the
hands of the State Courts, and forbidding
any naturalizations within a certain time, say
three, or even six months of the elections.
Until Congress does this the evils of last year
are liable to be renewed at any time, and the
Democratic managers to overrule by fraud the
votes of honest men as they did in this city
last October. The decision of Chief Justice
Thompson, affirming the legality of the natu
ralization papers granted by Judge Shars
wood's court, settles the question as far as
they are concerned, and so long as the State
Judges have authority to grant these papers,
and to decide upon their genuineness, it is
useless for us to complain. J
There is, however, a partial remedy or
the existing evil, and we are gratified hat
the Supreme Court has determined to apply
it. By an order of the court no assignment
of a judge has been made to hold Nisi Prius
during the months of September and October
of the present year, and consequently no
naturalizations in this court can be made just
prior to the election. The majority of the
Judges, who decidod upon this course, are
entitled to the thanks of all honest men, and
it is io be hoped that they will adopt this
expedient every year, if it should be necessary
to do so.
A HARD HIT BY I1EISTER.
The Hon. Heister Clymer, it appears, has
teen passing a few days at the White Sulphur
Springs, and while so doing made a little
speech, in the course of which, according to
an admiring Democratic journal, he made a
'political hit" that was "hugely relished" by
his chivalrous Virginian audience. Mr. Cly
mer "hit" his auditors in a very tender spot,
and with a great deal of force, and they
showed how complete and thorough has been
their reconstruction by the huge relish where
with they received the blow. The way in
which Mr. Clymer "hit" at his listeners was
substantially in these words: "The reason
that Pennsylvania is bo prosperous and
blooms like a garden, is owing to the sys
tern of small farms of fifty to one hundred
acres, instead of five hundred, eight hundred,
or one thousand acre plantations."
It will be Been that Mr. Clymer in this
short sentence comprehended the true secret
of Northern prosperity and Southern slug
gishness. When a man owns the soil he tills,
he is nerved to do his best to extract from it
the largest possible return for his toil. The
subdivision of agricultural lands is the surest
oatl to productive woiutu, me mom cerium
guarantee of a thorough and economical cnl-
THE VAlhT is Y EN IN
prevailed throughout all the Northern States,
and the result is an irrefutable argument
against the polioy of concentrating immense
tracts of land In the hands of one person.
The landed system to which the South
adhered previous to tho war was
precisely the reverse, and, taken
in connection with the blighting system of
slave labor, resulted in the least remunerative
agricultural policy that the world has ever
seen. But, after all, the slave code was re
sponsible for the whole thing. The peculiar
institution tended to concentrate, not only
the labor, but the land as well, in the hands
of the few, while the masses of whites, by
reason of a lack of capital and a contempt for
honest industry, were forced to live from
hand to mouth. The stannchest advocates of
the slave system, moreover, professed to be
lieve that slave labor was rendered more pro
fitable by concentration than diffusion, and
thus the evil was fostered and perpetuated
within itself.
Now that slavery has been sent to tho dogs
by the folly of its propagandists, tho true
secret of the agricultural prosperity of the
States which were happily exempt from its
accursed presence is slowly but surely dawn
ing upon the minds of its ruined adherents.
Rome of them still cling to their wide domains
of unproductive land, preferring to linger
out the remnant of their days in shabby gen
tility, rather than make a serious effort to re
habilitate the Southern States by giving tho
poor whites and the enfranchised blacks a
chance to earn an honest and decent liveli
hood, and at the same time restore a measure
of their own prosperity. But there
are numerous indications of the
adoption of a wiser policy on the
part of many of the Southern landholders,
and if the whole tribe of Democratic dema
gogues would but follow tho example of
Heister Clymer, and make the tour of the
South disseminating similar advice, the waste
places would soon be made green and the
abomination of desolation give way to a
degree of prosperity which the Southern
States never did and never could enjoy at the
bidding of the slave-driver. If all our zealous
Democratic friends, who indulge in so much
abuse of political reconstruction, will but
temper their tirades against radicalism by
lending a helping hand to productive recon
struction, they will do more good than harm.
The variety of public gatherings is to be
further increased by a "Capital Convention."
to be held at St. Louis in November. We
have had so many nonsensical demon
strations lately that a real first-rate convention
of the best minds of the Union to propose
something useful, rational, and necessary for
the welfare of tho people would be a refresh
ing novelty and a capital ideas. But the St.
Louis affair promises to be the biggest hum
bug of the season. Its whole object is to as
sist the agitation for the transfer of the seat
of the national government from the banks
of the Fotoinac to the shores of the Missis
sippi, and the projectors have modestly asked
the Governors of various States to send dele
gates. The Governor of Missouri has deter
mined to appoint a delegation, as a matter
of course, and the only other executive who
has yet given a favorable response is
Warmouth, of Louisiana, who, as a represen
tative of the river town of New Orleans,
naturally hopes that if the kitchen cabinet is
established at the upper river town of St.
Louis, some of the drippings will float down
the stream. The committee, seeing that their
little game is pretty well understood, and
that the Governors generally are as shy of it
as they would be of a proposed game of an
other description on a river steamboat,
pluckily resolve that the "convention will be
held if no more than three Statesare repre
sented." Certainly, gentlemen, that's the
wav to do it. Youurnst begin somewhere,
and if vou once have a start there is no telling

The Haggerty Case took a curious turn to
day. This being the last day of the fourth
teruy of the Criminal Court since his com
mirfal to prison, and no impediments to a
rial having been interposed by the prisoner
or his counsel, and the case not having been
pressed to trial by the District Attorney, Hag
gerty 's counsel, as was anticipated, applied
for his discharge. But to their utter discom
fiture, Mr. Sheppard produced a record of
the court showing that on December 11,
180.", one James Haggerty was convicted of
burglary and sentenced to ten years'
imprisonment therefor, but was pardoned
by Governor Curtin on August 2S, 18, on
the express condition, however, that he would
forthwith leave the country. As Haggerty
had not complied with the conditions imposed
by the Executive, the District Attorney
moved for a rule to show cause why he should
not be returned to his old quarters in the
Eastern Penitentiary. Thus the matter
stands, and before the case can be decided,
the important question of the constitution
ality of a conditional pardon must be defi
nitely passed upon.
