SrAW, CUBA, AND TI1E UNITED STATES. The European journals continue to display deep interest in the diplomatic relations be tween the United States and Spain. They are perpetually looking forward to the time whon this nation will become seriously in Tolvcd in the great and petty squabbles which continually distract Europe, and they Be em incapable of understanding our con tinued adherence to the policy established by Washington of non-intervention in the affairs of the Old World. The Cuban insurrection is an American rather than a European ques tion, in one of the most important aspects, and our Government has very properly shown that it was not indifferent to the fate of an island so close to the shores of the great repub lic. And yet even the close proximity of Cuba, and the strength of her claims to friendly aid, Lave not induced our national authorities to telax the neutrality laws in her favor or to take any steps at Madrid which were not in reality designed to promote the interests of both par ties to the Cuban conflict. America sympa thizes with every nation struggling against tyranny, but Bhe never interferes actively in behalf of any oppressed nationality; and while this policy seems selfish and cold, it has always heretofore been essential for our own safety; for the countries which have undertaken to play the part of knight-errant liberators have rarely failed to lose in such struggles their own prosperity and liberty. Bearing in mind these well-settled principles of action, the present administration has gone just as far and no farther, in its negotiations with Spain, than the circumstances demanded. American mediation has been offered and conditionally accepted; but instead of saying yes or no to the propositions authorized by the Cuban insurgents, the Spanish government submitted new proposals which the leaders of the revolt refused to entertain; whereupon the American Minister at Madrid again asked for a serious consideration of his original proposition, and at the same time declared that if this delay continued public opinion would compel the authorities of the United States to recognize the belligerent rights of the Cubans. The full text of the correspondence has not yet been published, and some of the European journals allege that General Sickles used language in com municating this idea which was tantamount to a threat. As he is not by any means a well-trained diplomatist, it is not improbable that his language was not especially guarded and careful, and that he unnecessarily aroused the haughty pride of those whom he addressed, for Spaniards are quite as averse as Ameri cans to tame submission to a menace. But since the first ebullitions of anger have died away, the Spanish statesmen no doubt under stand that Sickles had no authority to delibe rately insult them, and that the whole subject may and should be considered on its merits, Instead of being rashly decided in a fit of passion. They have so many difficulties to contend with now, that they may well pause before they raise up new enemies. Spain is distracted by the intrigues of the reactionary Bourbons on the one hand, and the vigorous agitations in favor of a republic on the other. If many more troops are sent from Spain to Cuba, there is great danger that the pre sent authorities will be unable to maintain their ascendancy at home, and if frequent re inforcements are not despatched the revolu tionists will steadily gain ground, for it is alleged that seventy-five per cent, of the Spanish regulars sent to Cuba heretofore have keen lost in battle or by disease. Under these circumstances, it is prejudice and the aversion of the proud Spaniards to a voluu tary surrender of the last of their long cata logue of American possessions, rather than reason, which make Serrano and his asso. ciates hesitate about the acceptance of the terms offered by our Government on behalf of the revolutionists. Our administration has really performed . a . for both parties, the open to dispute is friendly act only thing whether our ' Minister has performed the part of a peace . maker in a discreet manner; but even if Sickles has used a few ill-chosen words, the Spanish Government will be guided in its final decision on the present complication by its mature opinion on the relative danger of a defiance of Spanish sentiment on the ques tion of the surrender of Cuba, on the one hand, and the danger oi a persistence in a desperate and exhausting foreign war, when all its energies and resources are needed at home, on the other. THE SITUATION IN TEXAS. lux, letter of General Reynolds, who has com. niand in Texas, affords a clear and impartial insight into the political situation in that State. He shows oonolusiyely that "Jack Hamilton is still the unscrupulous demagogue that the Democratic press of the whole country declared him to be until he engaged in his nresent effort to break np the Republican party in the State for the sake of advancing his own personal interests. As General Rey nolds Bays, "the platforms of the two wings of the Republican party are precisely the same." There does not appear to be even any siae issue on the Buffrage and amnesty question, on was the case in Virginia and Tennessee; and the only diverging point between the two factions would seem to be the desire of the nvifl or radical branch to comply strictly iMk tfca terms of tae reoonsUuctiou laws, by presenting as candidates for office men who are qualified under these laws, whilrf the so-called conservatives, under the lead of Hamilton, crowd their tickets with mou who are disqualified. Before the breach became as wide as it now to, the friends of Davis en deavored to prevent it, and for the sake of harmony offered to accept of Hamilton as the candidate for Governor, provided Davis were placed on the ticket as candidate for Lieutenant-Governor. As General Reynolds clearly shows, all these proffers of peace wore re jected, and upon Hamilton and his followers must rest the responsibility for the split. There is every reason to believe that the suc cess of Hamilton will be brought about, if at all, through the instrumentality of Demo cratic votes, and that his oloction will result in turning over the State Government to the unrepentant and unreconstructed Rebel. In this view of the cane, it becomes the duty of the administration to lend a helping hand to the true Republican party of Texas. General Jobpan has offered to surrender his whole filibustering command to Captain General De Rodas, in return for a stipulated sum. But De Rodas, with true Spanish virtue, indignantly refuses to become a party to such a disgraceful bargain. Such, at least, is the startling story that the Spanish censor at Havana suffers the Cuba cable to tell. It is about on a par with the recent official publi cation in the Diario of the losses of the two high contending parties since the 115th of October, 18(i8. The Spanish loss footed up a beggarly regiment of 107JJ men, while the patriots and filibusters had suffered to the extent of 38,fi4L of whom full 14,U!1 were actually dead and buried ! Startling News greets us from the New Dominion. A tremendous thunderstorm visited a portion of her British Majesty's domain on Saturday, and a stray and reckless thunderbolt had the audacity to barely miss the head of the royal carpet-bagger who is now straggling about the Dominion. We can imagine the consternation and indignation of the members of "the Queen's Own," but to realize it fully a visit to Canada would be necessary. A GRAXD RAILROAD COSTEST. THE RACE TO THE PACIFIC FOUR RIVAL RAILROAD LINES HOW FAST TIME IS MADE AND BY WHOM HOW THE COMPANIES ARE MANAGED SWORN STATE MENTS OF THEIR OFFICERS. The rivalry between the four great Trunk Railway lines of New York, Pennsylvania, aud Maryland has reached a crisis worthy of public attention. The "common point" for the departure of westward- bound trains Is New York city, aud from that place four d liferent locomotives, like nimble racers, plunge towards the setting sun. One of them crosses the central part of the State of New York; another (the Erie) follows the northern boundary of Pennsylva nia; another (the Pennsylvania) strikes boldly across our Allegheny Mountains; and still another (the Baltimore and Ohio) glides through the Cheat river wilderness In Maryland. As New York Is the com mon place of departure, so Chicago and St. Louis are the common places of arrival, and the efforts to reach these points "on time" are the struggles of Iron giants. There Is reality as well as romance la this contest. The "heats" of the engines (to use a sporting phrase) average about thirty miles lu length, aud they not unfrequently run forty miles without any stoppage except for wood and water. Conductors, engineers, and brakesmen are, like Othello, "perplex'd in the extreme," and the reality of the contest consists in the hard work accomplished by the companies and their executive officers. The romance of the matter is the fact that the traveller appears almost endowed with wings. When a man can eat his supper In New Y'ork and his breakfast in Pittsburg (as is now the case), there seems little more to desire. In a single night s dream he cau span nearly live hundred miles ! ! The cause of this rapid running, and of the strug gle between the companies, was the opening of the Union Pacific Railway to California. The man who Is destined for the shores of the Pacitio does not want to loiter between the Atlantic and the great prairies. The four trunk lines realized this fact, and forthwith arranged "schedules," between New Y'ork and Chicago, which put them all "on their metal." Now it is au easy thing to make a schedule, but it is sometimes a hard thing to keep It, and this Is where , the great victory which the Pennsylvania Railroad has gained Is apparent. It makes its advertised time! And this Is where Us three competitors show their weakness. They strain every nerve, and yet miss their connec tions. There Is a reason for this, as there is for everything else In the world, and the reason simply Is, that the Pennsylvania trains have the shortest distance to run, as will be seen by the following table showing the number of miles from New Y'ork to Chicago by the different routes pursued by the respective companies. These figures are stern, hard Gradgrlnd facts: NEW YORK TO CHICAGO. Pennsylvania route 012 miles New York Central route 901 miles Erie route M miles Baltimore and Ohio route 1016 miles With this advantage of forty-six miles la favor of our own road, the opposing companies under any pos sible state of ailairs, are sure to be beaten. But just now they are struggling desperately, the New York Central and the Erie being the most exercised. ' The Central lias the better track, but the Erie has the shorter line. Their schedule time Is necessarily so fast that when they are delayed from any cause and then endeavor "to make up time," their speed Is tre mendous. They are taxed to the extent of their ca pacity. Meanwhile the Pennsylvania, with its heavy rails (well Joined), stone ballast, and short route could easily mnU quicker time than at present. It is not only master of the situation In this respect, but in another, viz., that it controls the whole route be tween Philadelphia and Chicago, aud works In the most perrect sympathy with the first-class Hue be tween this city and New York. It need consult no- body about Its business, while the other competing muwi luriueu oi iragmentary companies which cannot act without the consent of each other. it is time.in ract,that the public had a better appre ciation of the magniilcent enterprise of the Pennsyl vania Railroad. Perhaps not Ave men In a hundred uuw mm it wiu in a snori time control a new and independent route (the shortest of i auvi uuci w uuiauu. in us present position It controls rang rrom Rochester on the North to Chicago and St. Louis In the West and Louisville on we Boutn. it has made aggressive nuuuic.uu tunuiuer routes oj tapping their own cities. Its cars leave Jersey City and Baltimore three times daily for the West, and take freurht and passengers direct from the clutches of the rival cor porations, in me language of a Quaker gentleman who made a thorough Investigation of theflaancial affairs or the company, "its enterprise is won-der. ful, and thee can form no Idea oi the foresight of its managers." But one of the objoctt of this article was to eoro pare the three Great Trunk lines, not bv mere ex parts statements, but by the aworn statements of their own onloera. These sworn statements have been made to the Legislatures of New Y'ork and Pennsylvania, and are now before us.

Gentlemen: la the year I860 1 unfortunately was In business in the Artisan Building, which was da stroyed by fire on the 10th of Apru. I had then la use what I supposed was aFire-Proor Safe, but opon opening It I found everything destroyed, and fire burning therein. You will recollect, gentlemen, there was several of your Safes In that fire, also several In the fire at Sixth and Commeroe streets, the next May, five weeks afterwards, all of which upon being opened proved they were fire-proof Indeed, for I witnessed the opening of the moBt of them, and In every case the contents were preserved, while Safes of other makers were partially or entirely destroyed. I at once concluded to have something that I could de pend upon, and purchased one of your Safes. The safe I purchased of you at that time was sub jected to a white heat (which was witnessed by sev eral gentlemen that reside (jfXthe neighborhood) at the destruction of my MarWe Paper factory, 9'A Wallace street, on the afternoon and evening of the 24th Inst, After digging the safe from the ruins, and opening It this morning, I was much pleased to find everything, consisting of books, papers, money and silverware, all right. I shall want another of your safes as soon as lean get a place to continue mv business in. I could not rest contented with any other make of safes. CHARLES WILLIAMS, Marble Paper Manufacturer.
