The Huntingdon Journal J. R. DURBORROW, - HUNTINGDON, PENN'A. Wednesday Morning, Dec. 3, 1873 Circulation LARGER than any other Paper in the Juniata Valley. THE CUBAN PROBLEM What will be the ultimate result of the recent massacre of the Virginius captives is a problem that admits of no unnecessary delay in its final solution. The President and State Department, while diligently engaged in collecting all the material facts connected with that barbarous affair, have resolved to refer the question to Congress, with an urgent request for immediate ac tion in the matter. That the precipitate action of the Spanish authorities in Cuba, without advice from the Government at Madrid, was unjustifiable, admits of no doubt, and even under instruction no in ternational law or usages of war could jus tify the execution of the captives. If Spain has not admitted a state of war to exist on the island of Cuba, then the Vir ginius and her cargo and crew and passen gers could not be contraband of war. The vessel had a perfect right to enter any port in the island unmolested. If war at the time was admitted, and declared, then the vessel and cargo were liable to seizure and confiscation, and the captives to be held as prisoners of war until peace was restored, then to be liberated, if not soon er exchanged, for prisoners held by the enemy. But instead of this the victims were shot without instructions, and with all op portunities for ordering a stay of proceed ings scrupulously closed There is a Providence in the destiny of nations. The Cuban patriots have been struggling for their rights, with fearful odds against them since the day when our own patriots framed and promulgated the "Declaration of Independence," and that too under a weight of oppression infinitely more inhuman and unjust than the bur dens laid upon our forefathers. Do they deserve their independence and the rights of freemen any more than the patriots of 1776 7 France and Spain, in the name of humanity, gave us a helping hand, with out which our cause would probably have met with no better success than that of our down-trodden neighbors. Have we discharged that obligation ? If not we still owe it to the cause of humanity, and does not Providence now indicate a duty and an opportunity to liquidate the debt ? It is not always necessary or possible for nations to bind themselves to the rules of etiquette in international law. Unjustifia ble barbarities call for interference in the name of humanity, and international law does not deny the right even of forcible intervention in behalf of human rights. After Turkish ferocity bad reduced the 150,000 inhabitants of the beautiful island of Scio to a meagre remnant of 40,000 women and children, and reduced these to slavery, the wrath and strength of Europe compelled the Turk to recognize the in dependence of Greece. Are the long con tinued barbarities practiced upon the hap less Cubans less deserving of interference ? Kennedy, the British officer representing England in Cuba in 1844, reports that not less than 3,000 white and colored inhabi tants were put to death during the year, and their property was confiscated to the government. The history of Spanish rule in the island is one continued recital of similar cruelties and barbarous outrages against society, and all within a few hours sail of the seat of the American Govern ment. Congress and the country are prepared to meet this question on its merits. Poor Spain has her hands tied at home and is ratable to rule or control her volunteers in Cuba, who as a mere pastime compel col lege students to be shot down by the half dozen, while Spanish officials in the island capture and massacre ships, crews and pas sengers in the most iuhuzran manner with out instructions from Madrid. We oppose fillibusteriug and precipitate action; but nothing short of the indepen dence and annexation of Cuba will or can guarantee a eessation of inhuman barbari ties in the island. And the sooner that consummation is announced the better will it be for civilization and for all parties concerned. SHAME.—After what was proved against Clues, of the Huntingdon Globe, at the last session of the county courts, he should hide his face and retire. It was proved that a young lady named Pope ; while on a visit to her sister at the Cassville Orphan's School, "was grossly insulted by the Principal, 'Professor' A. L. Guss, he having locked her in his office and after failing to carry oat his designs, attempted to bribe her not to reveal thematter," and the Defendant in two other indictments, in which Guss was the Plaintiff, proposed to prove many other such dirty tricks, on the part of Guss, and the latter entered a discontinuance on the court raeords.—Raftsman's Journal. nek, There is one clause in the New Constitution which will save thousands of dollars to the Commonwealth annually. It is the clause allowing the Governor to veto any one item in the Appropriation Bill. Heretofore this bill has been generally withheld until the last hours of the Ses sion, and all manner of jobs were provided for in it, amounting, sometimes, to hun dreds of thousands of dollars, and the Governor would be compelled to sign it or the wheels of government would stop for want of legally appropriated funds. This little provision will save more, in three years, than will pay all the expenses of the Convention. gsa„, If no other wholesome features wore engrafted into the New Constitution then the article abolishing Special Legislation— the source of more corruption and political demoralisation than any one thing known to our political system—it should be adop ted. The Legislature would never remedy the evil in the world, by presenting an amendment to the Constitution. The rem edy could only eminate from a Convention. Adept it as a whole, and if there are any changes necessary we can vete directly upon them in the future. m4_ From and after New Year the sub scription price of Pc.mcroy's Democrat will be reduced, thus placing it within reach of a larger constituency than ever before. Special inducements are ofl'ered fur large clubs. While the price is reduced, the excellent features of the paper have not only been fully maintained, but in many respects greatly improved, and its promise for the future was never so good. During the eventful year of 1874, Pomeroy's Democrat will be one of the best papers in the country for the farmer and the la boring man. It will be the wittiest, boldest, newsiest, and most complete in every de partment. - EDITOR air Now and then we hear a fellow growling about some particular feature of the New Constitution which he does netlike, and threatening to vote against it because it contains such an (to him) obnoxious provision. He will admit that there are a hundred good things in it, but because it contains one or two bad provisions he proposes to destroy all the good. The rule of Hon. Thaddeus Stevens, in his lifetime, was to take the best that he could get, and look for more in the future. A little of this kind of philosophy would help some people amazingly. gm. The Blair • County Radical says that we gave as a reason why we supported the New Constitution "that it restored the taxation upon real estate." Is this, we would ask, a "fair, honest" statement of our position, or is it not "trifling with the people ?" We are in favor of uniform taxation, whether it is for State or other purposes. And we cannot see the differ ence between raising revenue for the State as a State or County tax on real estate. It must be raised one way or the other. We are in favor of calling things by their right names. Some people think that the expenses of the Commonwealth will be increased by the adoption of the New Constitution, ow ing to the increase of the members of the Legislature. This is a mistaken notion. The Sessions of the Legislature will be biennial—once in two years—and local legislation having been entirely done away with, its Sessions will be very brief. gel,. It is clear now, to the minds of all those who have closely examined the mat ter, that the New Constitution does not restore the State taxes on real estate. News and Notes from Washington. Aseembling of Congress—lmprovements in the Capitol—Work of the Session—The Cuban Question—Peaceable Annexation—The State of the Union—Returning Prosperity. WAMINGTON, Dec. 1, 1873. FORTY-THIRD CONGRESS. The first Session of the Forty-third Congress will commence at 12 o'clock to-day. Members have been arriving and looking up winter quarters for a week past. Both balls of Congress have been thoroughly renovated. New carpets and desks have been put in their places. The number of desks in the House has been increased to accom modate the larger number of representatives, and other important improvements have been made in the halls of the House and in the Senate Chamber. The Cuban question commands very general and commanding attention among members of Con gress, and not a few of them are looking up the statistics of trade and commerce between that country and the United States under a settled impression that no settlement of the vexed question of our future relations with Spain and her Cu ban Colony can be arrived at short of the adoption of the island as a State in the Union. There is, however, a strong sympathy with Castelar and the cause of republicanism in Spain, and an earnest desire not to cramp his energies in the good work to which he is so earnestly devoting all his ener gies. The whole question will be thoroughly can vassed in Congress and a decision will, it is be lieved, be arrived at in which justice will be done to the poor down-trodden and tax-burdened Cu bans, without offering any injustice to the impe rial claims upon their colonial possessions. 'WORK IN CONGRESS. The present will undoubtedly be a busy and an earnest one. There are a large number of very important practical measures to be met and disposed of. The recent disarrangement of our industrial interests will call for legislation in ref erence to our banking system. The present tariffs in its relation to the revenues, will require some consideration and perhaps modification. The tax on liquors and tobacco, too, as an internal revenue measure, may be increased. A system of Gov ernment Savings Banks, in connection with the post-offices throughout the country, will be pro posed at an early day; and measures will, no doubt, be adopted to put these banks in operation. The subject of cheap transportation will receive serious consideration. The whole question will be presented with a fund of information gathered by the committee in charge of the matter, which will enable Congress to act with confidence. This question will not however be debated until after the holidays. But important results are antici pated, and in that your correspondent has reason to believe that the country will not be disappoint ed. One of the ruling principles in the policy of the Forty-third Congress will be a resolute deter mination to husband the revenues in every pos sible manner, and many of those who come seek ing appropriations for local improvements will go away disappointed in their expectations. The usual appropriations will be pared down wherever a dollar can be saved; and economy will be carried oat as rigidly as the interests of the count, will permit. An impression seems to prevail pretty generally that an effort will be made to reduce the pay of Congressmen to $5,000, with mileage at the actual cost of travel. Members speak very confidently and encourag ingly in reference to the prospects of an early re turn of our usual prosperity. Many of the man ufacturers and other enterprises that had suspend ed work are again in operation. It , s claimed that if operatives and workmen would consent to a moderate reduction of wages in accordance with the shrinkage in values, all those industrial in terests would aeon be in full operation; and the sooner this reasonable necessity is complied with the better it will be for the parties more immedi ately interested and for the country generally. N. 11. P. Tweed in the Penitentiary NEW YORK, November 30.—After be ing taken to Blackwell's island yesterday Tweed was asked the usual questions by the recording clerk to which he answered that he was aged fifty years, occupation a statesman, no religion. But as his family are protestant he was entered as a protest ant. He weighs 263 pounds. He was ta ken to the bath, then had his head shaved in penitentiary style and was arrayed in the full striped uniform. He had two let ters from New York city physicians recom mending that he be placed iu thehosnital, but after an examination by the peniten tiary physicians he was remanded to a common cell like all other felons and num bered thirty-four. The jacket given him to wear is known as the penitentiary as a larceny jacket. His son stayed by him untill he was led away to his cell, when be and a few friends and reporters left the island. The time is probably far ,distant when Spain will be sufficiently educated and free from superstition to admit of a repub lic in anything more than name. Proper ty and life must become sacred to a coun try before it can maintain self-government. Address of the Bar of Huntingdon County, in Favor of the Adoption of the New Constitution. The undersigned members of the Bar of Huntingdon county, feeling it to be our duty to take some action in regard to the election to be held on Tuesda:', the 16th day of December, upon the adoption or re jection of the New Constitution, have con cluded to make a brief appeal to the vo ters of our county in its favor. We do not propose either to set forth its advanta ges, or to argue the few objections that have been made against, it, but believing as we do that the New Constitution, as a whole, contains so much that is good and salutary, that it will guarantee to the peo ple many and great reforms which they have long desired and hoped for; and pro tect them froM enormous and growing evils, against which the best men of all parties have lifted up their voices for years. We earnestly appeal to our friends, neighbors and fellow-citizens to attmd the election and cast a solid and united vote in its favor. Though this Constitution is not perfect in all its details, yet it con tains so much that is really excellent that, we are convinced it can only be lost by the apathy and indifference of our people. If any are inclined to neglect this election we would beg them to remember. that if this instrument is rejected it will, in all probability, be many years before they will have another opportunity of securing to themselves those rights and that protec tion now within their reach. The mis takes of ordinary elections may usually be corrected in a year or two, but neglect or indifference in this matter may entail wrong, and prevent reform, fur genera tions to come. With regard to the principal objections urged against particular sections of the New Constitution we desire briefly to ex press our opinion, as follows : First, That the New Constitution, if adopted, will not recite the State tax upon real estate. On the other hand, by requir- Mg uniform taxation of a great mass of property which is now exempted by special laws, the burden of taxation will be light ened, by imposing it equally upon all. Second, The increase of members of the Legislature will not materially—if at all— increase the expense of the Legislature, for it should be remembered that the Consti tution does not double the number of Leg islators, and that they will meet only once in two years instead of annually unless specially convened by the Governor in case of emergency, and special legislation being entirely prohibited, the cost of public printing, and other incidental expenses of the Legislature will he greatly reduced. Third, The numbering of tickets will not destroy the secrecy of the ballot, as the elec tion officers are sworn to secrecy and there can be no publicity except in cases of con tested elections, and in such cases this provision will prove a most practical and effective method of preventing and detect ing fraud. It is therefore, in our judgment, for the best interests of the people at large that this Constitution should be adopted, be lieving it to be infinitely better than the Constitution now in force, and that it will be far easier to correct by amendment in the usual way, anything needing correc tion, than to secure again the precious rights which would be thrown away by its rejection.

The Cuban Question--Our Diplomatic Negctiations. WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S—On Wednes day there was a positive conviction in ad ministration circles, based upon private and unofficial information from Madrid, that our troubles with Spain had been sat isfactorily adjusted by means of diplomacy, and the last extremity of vindicating the insult to our flag by resorting to war there by happily averted. Quite unexpectedly to our authorities the promised order to release the Virgin , ius and the surviving prisoners was not forthr.oming, and so the question assumed a more serious aspect than ever, in view of the fact that the time given to the Spanish government to comply with our demand had expired. The situation, so far as can be ascertained by careful inqui ry today, is about as follows : President Castelar, on the 2;th or 26th, consented to surrender the Virginias and the prisoners to the American authorities and make the necessary apology for her unlawful seizure. I3efore acting officially in the matter, by transmitting orders to the captain general of Cuba, certain con templated acts of hostility to the present' ministry and government became known, and led to a reconsideration of the action determined upon and a request to our gov ernment for a further extension of time in which to give a positive answer to the de mand for the surrender of the vessel and paisoners. Our authorities here became satisfied that to compel au answer now would be to bring destruction to the republic of Spain, so a temporary delay was granted. The negotiations between the two countries have not been broken off, and are not like ly to be from present appearances. These still continue and assurances are held out that a favorable termination will be reach ed in a very few days. A menber of the cabinet, who is thor oughly informed as to all the facts, said to your correspondent to-day that while President Castelar had indicated his will ingness to surrender the Virginias and make full apology for her capture, to do so now, in the present critical condition of affairs in Spain' would be fatal to the re public and undoubtedly lead to war be tween the United States and the govern ment which would succeed Castelar. The question now is merely whether we shall bring about this state of affairs or wait patiently a few days until Castelar can so strengthen his own government as to be able to put down arty attempted revo lution which would follow his giving up the Virginius to the American authorities. There is a story circulated to•day among high officials that Minister Sickles has re tarded matters somewhat by indiscreet ut terances, and that he is anxious to demand his passports, and to see war between the two nations. Much excitement exists throughout the city in consequence of the newspapea offices displaying bulletins of a sensational character having no founda tion. WASHINGTON, Nov 28.—The cabinet was in session two hours and a half today, giving earnest attention to the questions pending between the United States and Spain. It was remarked by a cabinet offi cer after the adjournment that the busi ness was in such a condition that a single telegram on either side might change the whale course of proceedings. To-night it can be confidentially said that the question has assumed a more favorable aspect than it bore this morning, and that there are strong reasons for expecting results en tirely satisfactory ; and it can be added on the same competent authority that al though nothing has as yet been reduced to precise terms, the situation is very hopeful. NEW YORK, November 28.—A letter from Havana says the people there would refuse to allow any order from Madrid to deliver up the Virginius or make other reparation for her seizure and the execu tion of her crew to be carried out. Pre parations for defense are being actively pushed forward, and guns are being mounted at all suitable points. Adver tisements appear in different papers for an unlimited number of laborers to work in arsenals, and the volunteers have orders to drill two or three times a week. The Vox de Cuba says, in regard to the report from Washington that Castelar has telegraphed the captain general to execute no more of the Virginius prisoners : "It cannot be true, since the sentences have been imposed by a tribunal of justice in accordance wits our laws. The executive of the Spanis fepublie has not a sufficient power to issue such an absurd order." It. says the captain general of the island in order to extinguish the rebellion has power to impose the death penalty on any one taken in acts of treason or force against the government, and asks : "Ilow then would the executive of the Spanish repub lic dare to govern in contravention of law and override justice, exposing his authori ty to contempt merely to please. certain foreign pirates?" The United States and Spain. WASHINGTON, November 29.—The ne gotiations between the United States and Spain with regard to the questions grow ing out of the capture of the Virginius were brought to a conclusion to-day. Sec retary Fish and Admiral Polo having agreed and signed a protocol, which the _latter soon telegraphed to his government. As conflicting statements have appeared in the newspapers regarding the intelligence received last night and also to-day, it can now be publicly stated that the terms are substantially as follows : First—The immediate delivery to the United States of the ship Virginius and all the surviving prisoners and crew. Second—A salute to our flag on Decem ber 25th next, unless in the meantime Spain shall satisfy the United States that the American flag was improperly carried on that vessel, and further that she had no right to the American flag nor to Amer ican papers. In this event the salute is to be spontaneously withdrawn and Spain is to formally disclaim any intentional indig nity to the flag in the acts committed by Spain against the Virginius. Third—lf it shall be thus shown that the Yirginius bad no right to carry the American flag and papers, the United States will institute proceedings against the vessel, and the surviving parties who have violated the laws of the United States, and Spain guarantees to institute proceed ings against any of her authorities who may have violated either the law or treaty stipulations. Fourth—The matter of reclamations for damages is referred for further considera tion. In addition to this action, it can also be positively stated that within the next two days Secretary Fish and the Spanish min ister will determine the port at which the Virginius and the surviving passengers and crew shall be delivered to the United States. The words "immediate release," as applicable to the release of the Virgini us and the surviving passengers and crow, implies of course a reasonable time for its execution, as some days must elapse before Havana and Santiago de Cuba can be reached. This agreement is regarded in certain official quarters as covering all the points of our original demands, though in a modified form, while it is considered respectful and honorable to both countries. The fixing of December 25 as the time for saluting our flag is to allow the necessary opportunity to Spain to show that the Vir ginius improperly carried the American flag and papers. There is a sensible relief in all quarters that the negotiation has thus speedily ended. Both Secretary Fish and Admiral Polo have for two weeks past been engaged in producing this result, on which they receive the congratulations of their respective friends. A Convention A couple of communications have ap peared iu the Morning Tribute urging the necessity of a Stay Law to relieve the pres ent and prospective disstress to business men, and in fact to all classes. An extra session of the Legislature was suggested, but that would seem to be unnecessary, since the regular session will convene on the first Tuesday in January,, and an extra session could not be convened much short of that time. Another proposition brought forward is the holding of a convention at Harrisburg, to be composed of the business men of the State, for the purpose of tak ing into consideration of the present finan cial condition of the country, and the im pending distress of the laboring and man - - ufacturing interests, and to dvise such means of relief as will cause a speedy re sumption of business. Congress will meet on the first Monday of December, and it is desirable to hold the proposed convention upon the same week, so that Congress may have some indications of the stagnation of the business, and the determination of the people to have relief. Every city and coun ty should send delegates. Harrisburg having been named as the place and the first Tuesday of December as the day, action should be taken at once, and each community see to it that men ac quainted with the business affairs and wants of the community they represent are selected. Let there be no visionary plans proposed, but something that will be prac tical, speedy and permanent, By reference to a call for a publics meet ing which will be found in another column, it will be seen that our penplo are ready to aid in any movement looking to relief. While our condition may not be so bad as that of any :other communities, at this time, our business men are alive to the is sues likely to be forced upon them, and they wish to avert disasters to themselves which would be likely to carry distress to others. We hope the press of the country will favor the calling of such a convention, and urge the immediate election of delegates, No harm can come of it, even if no good should be accomplished. But we think the men who would most likely be sent as delegates will be too earnest, and feel too deeply the exigencies of the hour, to waste time or health in idle talk. Action is the word.—Altoona Tribune. What has Been Demanded of Spain? The demands made upon Spain ty President Grant are reported in the form of a Madrid despatch in the Herald, as follows: T. The restoration of the Virginins. " IL The release of the surviving prisoners. " 111. Indemnity for the frunilies of the nteis murdered. " IV. The punidicustit of the murderers; and, " V. A satisfactory guarantee against future outrages in Cut.a." The Wbrld and Tribune, hewever, in their Washington correspondence, state the case differently. Here are the de mands according to the Mrld : "1. The nurrendei• of the Virginius. •'II. That the surviving members of the cren• ninst fir restored. " 111. Suinthle iudetunity to be made to the families of flue. Blain... And here is the statement of the Tri, bone: "I. The release of the survivors of the crew and pas eengere of the Virgiuina. " 11. The release of the chip. 111. Ample apology to the Government and provision Mr the families of the murdered men." It will be seen that the three journals substantially au-ree in respect to the first three points, while the I [mil , ' adds two others, namely, the punishment of the murderers and satisfactory guarantees against future outrages in Cuba. — Which of these tiiree statements is the most accurate we do not undertake to say; but the most comprehensive of them and the most worthy of the occasion is that propounded in the Herald. There can be no adequate reparation for the outrage committed in the case of the Virginius without punishment of the murderers who slaughtered the men found on board; nor can there be any suitable conclusion of the affair without any effective guarantees against the commission of auy further out rages by Spaniards or volunteers upon American citizens in Cuba.—N.

Everybody wants to make money, and now is the time to save it by the use of the American Fire and Waterproof Paint. In offering this invention to a discriminating public wo will say, that probably there has never been an article offered that pleases the masses, and is ix °Dived with such general favor as this. It interests every one of all classes and locations in life. The farmer, mechanic, merchant and specu lator alike aro interested, from the fact that it costs a mere trifle. Ito coot is not quite half of that of ordinary paint, and is guaranteed to be waterproof and fireproof unless subject to intense heat. It is used a great deal on roofs, and ie proof against sparks falling from the burning of chim neys, de., and will preserve a roof of common shingles, in good shape, one hundred years, if ap plied properly once in five years, and makes them tight and sound, doing away with all leakage and all trouble arising from that source. The use of this paint is not limited to any surface, it can be toed on brick, stone or wood. It forms a cement on brick, so, by the exposure of the weather there will be no crumbling of the brink. The cost of this on the roughest surface will not probably exceed $2 to the 100 square feet, and when the surface is smooth the cost in proportion ately less. Renew the coating once in five years, and the builoing will be kept in asound condition. It will save money to all who use it, anti ad a safeguard against fire and water it has no mull. This paint is criculated only by individual right., allowing them the privilege to use it on their pre mises, and is sold only by authorized agents. The price of a single right is $2, which is within the reach of all classes of people. Tho ingredients for making the paint can be got is any country store.
