Mr. Maynard conceded the troth of Mr. Cox's re

meant by being a Native American of the old sort.
Mr. Cox explained that he meant a Southern Ame
rican many years ago.
Mr. Maynard, resuming, Bald there was no analogy
between soldiers and sailors. The former stayed at
home, while the latter were scattered all over the
globe during tne time of their enlistment, and
therefore never becamo citizens by having the ne
cessary preliminary residence at any place at home.

DEBATE IN TUB LEGISLATURE UPON NATIONAL
AFFAIRS TUB REMOVAL OF MR. SUMNER. .
From Our Own Correspondent.
IlARRisnuRG, March 10, 1871.
The tedious monotony of legislation was
broken this afternoon by a debate of much ani
mation and some acrimony, on the resolution of
Senator Billingfelt condemning the removal of
Senator Sumner. Mr. Billingfelt is one of the
sturdy line of the honest Germans of Pennsyl
vania, a Republican of the most consistent
devotion to the principles of the party, and a
man who, in the foetid atmosphere of Harris
burg, has ever stood above the suspicion of in
sincerity or venality. He carries more moral
power with him than any other
man on his side. He knows
that the degradation of Sumner was unwar
ranted and uncalled for by any honest regard
for the Republican party. He knows that there
are no intelligent and upright members of the
party who do not deprecate the substitution of
Cameron for Sumner; and in his honest, fear
less, and frank 1 way he reflected the almost
universal views of the party by offering a reso-
lution condemning the action of the United
Btates Senate.
He found that all his habitual associates were
afraid of the question; but as he knows no fear
in the advocacy of the right, he dared to main
tain and express his opinions, and he did it in a
clear, logical,' and unanswerable argument.
Others might talk with more polish, but no one
could have told-more pertinent truth in a more
intelligent way than did Mr. Billingfelt In his
speech.
It was surprising and humiliating to see the
action of his Republican colleagues. Not one of
tliem ventured to ay boldly that the removal of
Mr. Sumner was justifiable. Some apologized,
In a feeble, timid way for the act; but not one
dared to say that it was right. Senator Mumma
made an earnest and creditable effort to break
the force of Mr. BUlingfelt's dIowb; but beyond
a severe assault npon the Democrats, he did not
succeed. He did not 6ay that the displacement
of Sumner was right Indeed, he Bald expressly
that he regretted it but he insisted that the
Democrats had been guilty of as
great, or even greater, wrougs against
the iadependence of statesmanship. By adroitly
evading the Issue, he made some good points
against the Democratic party. Mr. Buck ale w
made one of hie clear and able speeches, defend
ing the independence of Senators, and re
flected severely npon the administration for the
degradation of Sumner. Senor Dill followed in
a brief but sensible speech on the same side,
and Mr. Delameter closed the debate of the
afternoon by insisting that the Legislature
should not meddle with the question.
The question was not finally disposed of, but
when it is reached Mr. BUlingfelt's resolution will
nags. ' He may stand alone amongst the Senators
in Lis record, but all agree that he is also
alone In maintaining fearlessly the right The
people of his county, and of the State, will do

ron. Mr. Lawton was promoted to second

In 1852-53 he was attached to

TI1E SALE OF CUBA AND TORTO RICO.
Yr.tcrdny's Reported Offer Coaflrmed'The
Terms aid Preliminaries The Oiler not to be
Entertained.
A Washington despatch to the N. Y. Tribune
says:
Inquiry to-day establishes the troth of the
rumor Eent from here last evening, with regard
to the proposition of the new Spanish Govern
ment to sell the islands of Cuba and Porto Rico
to the United States for 100,000,000. The Pre
sident and Secretary of State both say that some
time ago General Prim made a proposition to
uenerai BicKies, ottering the colonies to the
United States for $200,000,000. It was declined
at once on our part, and declared to be wholly
out of the question.
About the time the Duke of Savov was to
start from Florence to assume the duties of his
new position, and shortly before General Prim
was assassinated, a confidential friend of
Amadeus and of the Spanish R egencr. who had
himself been partially educated in America,
arrived in iew iorK as tne Dearer or proposi
tions of settlement to the Cuban patriots on the
part of the new Spanish regime.
inete propositions were DUTmshca in the
Tribune at the time, in the form of a despatch
from this city. They Include a provincial auto
nomy for Cuba and Porto Rico similar to that
enjoyed by the North American colonies of
Great Britain; a full and complete amnesty for
the revolutionists, leaders, and defeuders; re
presentation of Cuba and Porto Rico in the
Spanish Cortes; the abolition of slavery, and
tne establishment oi manhood suit rage, with a
free press and the right of discussion and peti
tion; the native Cubans and Porto Ricans to
have equal rights in ofllclal positions with their
Spanish fellow citizens.
inese terms were submitted informally by an
American Senator well known for his friendly
relations to the Cuban patriots, to Senor Aldama,
as the New York head of their move
ments. After careful consideration they
were rejected by Aldama, who declared it too
late. The atrocities of Spanish war had
been bo terrible as to make it certain
together, and the former had determined to
fight until independence or their extermination
was the result. The Spanish agent was very
thoroughly impressed with the determined
fcpirit of the Cubans, as well as their practical
resources for continuing the strife almost in
definitely. At tbc time the negotiations were pending.
and before leaving, the idea of selling the colo
nies was again mooted, and though the Cubans
expressed themselves favorable to such a termi
nation of their endeavors, no encouragement
was aiiorded on our side, enortiy atter tne
coronation of King Amadeus, General Sickles
was again approached on the subject. Of
course, he listened ana considered, ana tne
result is seen in the proposed sale at
$100,000,000. President Grant said to-day
that the administration had no intention
to consider It, believing that, even if
desirable, the Senate could not be induced to
accept such a treaty, and It would be altogether
useless to ask Congress for appropriations to
carry out the provisions, in face of the fact that
the obtaining of the 1,500,000 needed for the
Santo Domingo purchase was in considerable
doubt. In the meanwhile the Cubans keep peg-
ing away, and, with the active hostility to
Ave Amadeus' Government, made by the Span-
hh Republicans under Castelar, there is a strong
probability that the Spaniards will be at last
compelled to abandon the islands to their patriot
enemies.
