The cable brings ns such proofs of madness omong the Spanish leaders in Cuba as must be tie Bure forerunners of Cuban freedom. Count Yalmaseda, commanding the Eastern Department ofCuba, urns applies the powers of Spanish suasion to the inhabitants: “First Every native male ovor fifteen years of ace found away from his residence without SHffl n’t came, tcill be executed. Second. Erery uninhabited dwelling, and every inhabited dwelling where a white flag Is nndls nlaved, will be reduced to ashes. Tktrd. All women away from their homes will come to Bayamo or Joguani, or they toill be brought by force. " There is a marvellous madness in such a policy as this. Thousands of American citi zens have hesitated to espouse the Cuban cause because their sympathies have been so deeply enlistpd in Spain’s own successful struggle against the old Bourbon despotism that they have felt a generous unwillingness to see the mother country despoiled of her ftirest and richest possession, just as she was into a better and freer civilization frcTßPif. But such sympathies will be stifled fcreverin the presence of such an atrocious policy as Spain, through her military com mandera.is now enforcing in Cuba. The struggling Cubans, left to themselves, might be crashed out, under the tender mercies of Yalmaseda’s persuasive measures. BotVal maseda’s proclamation, as it rings through Atnprim, Will be hurled back into Spanish ears with an out-burst of indignant wrath that will be more to the purpose of Cuban freedom than an army or a fleet It is unut terable madness to proclaim such savage de crees, at a moment when all Christendom is fretting againßt the barriers of international polity, in its anxiety to stretch out strong hands and substantial protection to a people whom Spain is proving herself unfit to gov ern. It is the supreme of folly to invoke so needlessly that foreign aid, the mere promise of which will sweep Spain from the shores of Cuba. Justice, generosity, liberal fair play would have secured Cuba to Spain, possibly for generations to come. Brutal and wanton cruelty, such as this Spanish butcher proclaims, heavily as it falls for the time upon Cuban women and children, will recoil with fatal effect upon its authors, and rally to the aid of this oppressed people na tions of friends. The news of this savage edict comes to us just as the people of Philadelphia are about to declare, in mass-meeting, their sympathy with Guba’s struggle for independence. The interest already felt in the cause is very great, but it will be deeply intensfiied by to -day’s news. Yalmaseda in Cuba, as well as the friends of Cuba in America are “discounting destiny” with a vengeance. HAD DOGS It is not veiy creditable to the police regu lations of a great city like Philadelphia, that its citizens are liable to be assailed by fierce or mad dogs in the public streets, and yet the occurrence is a very common one. Every ■week in the year cases are recorded of child ren and grown people who have been at tacked, often seriously injured and sometimes killed by these savage brutes. During the heat of summer, the law requires that dogs shall be muzzled, and where the law is vio lated the vagrant eurs are captured, im pounded, and either redeemed by their owners or put to death. But during the rest of the year they enjoy entire immunity. In the central parts of the city there are not many dogs found running at large, but in the outer districts their number is legion. That an unmuzzled dog at large in the pub Be streets is a common nuisance is a fact which will only be questioned by the very limited clbsb of people who own pet dogs, and whose chief concern is lest their favorites should bite some common person whose flavor might not agree with them. From the stately Danish mastiffs down to the waddling little poodles, through all the intermediate grades of dogdom, there is no exemption from the charge that dogs at large are public nuisances; and they are as much so in winter as in summer. The statistics of hydrophobia show nearly, ii not quite as many cases in cold as in warm weather, and the traditional habit of muzzling dogs and putting them under the operation of the existing dog laws only in hot weather, is an aDsurdity that should have been done away, long ago. The uses oi dogs in large cities are very few indeed. As play-things they are trouble some, expensive and dangerous. As guards they are sometimes useful, but generally use less, and their services in that respect cer tainly do not entitle them to the freedom of the city ox to the calves of the citizens. An a whole, they can be dispensed with more easily than any other domestic animal, and they are the only do mestic unlnmla which are dangerous to the community. Why cannot this dangerous nuisance be abated. Haisances are generally maintained by “Rings,” but a dog ring would be easily broken up. It would be impossible to form a coalition between the bull-terriers of old Spring Garden and the sleek, ehy, blankettcd pets of the West End; between the half tamed, Bplendid black monsters of some o f otu Teutonic citizens and the aristocratic pointers of our sporting gentlemen; between the frowzy, asthmatic poodles of our prim old maids, and the dapper little black-and- tau terriers of our rapid, fashionable belles. It could not he done. If the dogs themselves undertook such a combination, it would ead is a general fight-, and their masters and mis —tresses could never be. brought into, conven tion OS account of the great social gulfs that lie between them. There tg but one method of dealing with the dog question. Every dog and all dogs, without distinction of age, oex or condition, must die the death, whenever and whoever found unmuzzled in the public streets. ‘'War to tho knife!" must be the watchword for the polioe. bas, lea chienal” most be the common war cry- There mnst be'no compromise.- The un muzzled dog most, 1 like treason, “be made odions.” The advantages of a ernsade against the canine nuisance are manifold. Dogs are in the minority, therefore they should be pot down. Doga kill people, therefore they should be killed; —at least until capital pun ishment, generally, is abolished. Shooting dogs is good practice for the polioe. It im proves their aim, and empties their revolvers, which is good for the fire-arms. The crusade would be neither long nor expensive. A single season would suffice to rid our streets of the dangerous nuisance, and the people of Philadelphia could once more take their walks abroad, without the fear of being snapped up by some savage brute of a dog. We are not unmindful of onr friend, Mr. Bergb. We have not forgotten that there is a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. With the fear of it before our eyes, we say “Down with the dogs!” They are a dangerous nuisance, and they must either be made harmless by perpetual muzzles, or by the old remedy of “cutting off their tails, just behind their ears." ■ «.. A BBfIABAaBIiE PATRIOT. There is a story which telle how, during Napoleon’s retreat from Russia, a squad of soldierß were placed on guard over a lot of pork barrels in the desert. They were for gotten when the army moved off, and they remained on duty long years after the pork had gone to decay, until every man of them was grey-headed, and until most of them died one after the other. Report says that the last veteran lingers on the spot yet We are likely to have to record a similar instance of devotion to duty in this country. The people have already shed tears over the he roic faithfulness of the patriot who watched an empty crypt in the capitol, and drew a fat salary for forty weary years; and they have gloried in the unselfish devotion of the man who for several years executed a con tract for carrying the mails over a suppo sitious post-route between two entirely ima ginary towns in the West. But these men are both surpassed by a friend of Senator Pomeroy’s. Thiß ardent patriot has, it ap pears, been holding a position as agent for the Delaware Indians, and drawing caßh for salary and supplies for savages, from the government. On its face this seems to be a perfectly proper thing for Pomeroy’s friend to do. The objection to It lies in the fact that there are no Delaware In dians in existence as a distinct tribe. When the last Delaware died or merged himself in another clan, the natural thing would have been for the agent to disband himself. But Senator Pomeroy's friend, possibly, was afraid that such precipitate action would dis turb the smooth action of the Government machinery, so he sacrificed himself and held on and drew his salary, and disposed of the supplies as well as he could —say, at some thing less than market rates. This gentle rascality is a fair sample of the frauds that have been connived at by the Indian bureau and by members of the United States Senate. The latter gentlemen have grown bo bold in the business that they even insist upon continuing it after it has been ex posed. When the President nominated some honest Friends to the Kansas and Nebraska agencies, the Senators from those States, Pomeroy among them, were very indignant at Executive interference with their friends, and used their influence successfully te have the nominations defeated. The President, we are glad to see, sticks to his determination to effect a complete reform, and we hope he will do so, no matter how many of the pals ol the Senators are checkmated in their nefarious operations. UriVETie COLIBCE, The entertainment given to President Cat tell, of Lafayette College, last evening, has afforded an opportunity to bring more pro minently before the public the great educa tional establishment of which he is the ncred head. President Cattell goes abroad,at the request of the trustees, to visit the poly technic schools of Europe and to gain such practical information as will be of value in the further extension of the field of study in Lafayette College. By the aid of the noble bequests of Mr. A. Pardee, and other liberal minded gentlemen of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, Lafayette College has been rescued from a condition of lingering inefficiency, burdened with debt, and almost unknown among the colleges of America,to a condition of honorable prominence and great nsefolness. The scope of its curriculum is upon the most liberal scale. While the full courses of classi cal study are kept up under most able pro fessors, a general course has been established on the Pardee foundation, which affords a broad system of practical education in all the branches of modern science. To a lull course of all that is usually included in the idea of a thorough modern education, are added departments of technical and pro fessional study not generally attainable iu American colleges. Engineering, mining, metallurgy, practical chemistry, are taugut with all the advantages of splendid apparatus, and elaborate opportunities for experiment and illustration; aud what has already been accomplished is but the prediction of greater efforts and higher attainments. With such an impetus as Lafayette College has now received, Easton will, ere long, be able to bo net the possession of an American Uni versity from which Pennsylvania will derive incalculable honor and profit The success of Lafayette College is chiefly due to the indomitable energy aud perse verance of President Cattell. His own en thusiastic faith in the ultimate success of his work has been an inspiration to the generous men who have so nobly seconded his efforts, and be goes abroad, on his mission of explo ration among the schools of Europe, encour aged by the consciousness that he represents a Pennsylvania College of whioh he has no cause to be ashumed, aud he will return laden with the practical results of his European experience and observation as freßb contri butions to the already" richly-endowecPSoirege which now owes to him so much. Some foolish country papers havo demanded the suppression of the pior lilfflo journal established in New York as the advocate of an American Empire. The Imperiahprgan uses these appeals as an argument to prove THE D AILY EV ENING BULLETIN—PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, APRIL 30,1869. that there 1b no real freedom of the press in this miserable country. It forgets, of course, tbat.tts own existence proves, the falsehood of its lts utterances are treason able, and if they were made in any other country in the world against the existing government, they would' subject the pub lisher to punishment If this journal preached Republicanism in France—its model Empire —it would be suppressed before it issued the whole of its first edition. The American people let it alone because they regard it with contempt, and because they know that its owners are fairly Bick for persecution and the advertisement which martyrdom would give them. At present its opinions upon political and other questions are of no earthly conse quence to anybody but its forty-six sub scribers. The Copperhead papers aU oyer tho coun try are preaching the doctrine that the ridicu lous movement in favor of the formation of an American Empire is being conducted by the leaders of the Republican party. This may serve to gull dumb Democrats with, but it will not go down with intelligent men of either party. Alter conducting a war for the preservation of the Union, against the efforts of the rebels and their Democratic friends to destroy it, it would be quite impossible for Republicans, in the very flußh of their triumph, to begin to undo their own work. The stu pid imperial project is paid for by rich for eigners who live in New York city, and who have made that wretched place the very stronghold ef a bigoted and corrupt Demo cracy.

Sbmpt Hook, April SO, 12.3 d P. H,— The steamship Bremen has lost backed off the Homer Bhoal, and is heading southeast. Tbe Emigration from Canada. (From the Montreal Witness, April 24.] It looks very foolish for Canada to be encourag ing the immigration of Europeans when it is an nually losing by emigration a very large number of its own eons. The paragraphs which we have inserted almost every spring about the emi gration from nearly ail parts of Lower Canada, several parts of Canada West, and the Provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, might lead readers at a distance to enpposo that these regions wire being depopulated, and that there was some grand defect in onr soil, climate or institutions to cause such a disastrous result. Tbe fact is, however, that those who go away aro scarcely missed, except by tbeir own families, as tberc are plenty left to carry on every kind of industry at d fill every position. Donbtiess there are many eoneee that combine to induce men to emigrate, but the chief one Is the hope—often delusive— of bettering their circumstances. With the great West, and the now open Sontb, and the Pacific flops all before them, it is cot wonderful that many enterprising young men set oot with the laudable ambition of making an bODorable record in some more advantageous field than they conld hope i o occupy at home; and tbe fact that the emigration from the New England States Is as great os from Eastern Canada, shows that it is not tbe difference of political institutions that constitutes the came of emigration. The True Witness maintains that it is the snow, or rather the leng winter, that forces French Canadians to emigrate; and we have pointed out that the tithes and fabrlqae assessments fastened upon lhetzf’ in Lower Canada are strong induca ments to emigrate. Both of these causes are un doubtedly at work; bat abundance of good land in tbe West, at a nominal price, and abundance of employment in the States 'for certain kinds of artisans, at good wages, are, donbtiess, as we have said, tbe chief causes of tbe emigration which all alike regret. Great Britain and Cuba. Tho Washington correspondent of the New York lleiald says: Tbe English Minister denies that Great Britain bas bod even so mnch os under consideration the question of tbe Cuban insurrection. He declares preposterous tbe report that it was ever designed to recognize tbe insurgents as belligerents. He ests that the government is not even informed of tbe existence of a provisional government on the island. He represents tbe relations of Bpalu with htr Majesty's government as highly friendly, and he regards the report hereby contradicted as In tended to embitter the relations between the United States and Great Britain, and just at a time when tbo qnestionsin difference between tbe counlries are in a critical state. THE COURTS. Presentment by the Grand Jury JUDGE BREWSTEB’S ADDRESS important Suggestions In Regard to Com- mlimenti. This morning the Grand Jnry came into Court with the final presentment for the term. They have acted upon 364 bills, of which 149 were found true ana 215 ignored. Reference Is made to the crowded condition of the county prison, and the evils of the congregate system, which puts the innocent and the gniltv together. Tho present statistics show that our Aldermanic sys tem has been turned into a laboratory for the crea tion of offences. and well-trained witnesses are ever ready to aid the most nefarious enterprise. * * The system evidently demands a radical change, and in place of an election at the Ward, where the votes of ciimin&lß are often mere po tent than the franchises of law-abiding citizens, an appointing power is needed at quarters re moved from all Ward influences, and in place of fees from commitments to prison, a fixed salary should be substituted.” The public institutions were visited and found to be in good order. After the presentment had been received,Judge Brewster said : Gentlemen cf the Grand Jury— Von deeerva tho thanks of tl o community and of the Court for tho fidelity with tvhicb you have discharged your duties, tour promptness iu hearing &Dd returning the bills • abmittod •o you has euabled ub to give every case an opportunity tor trial, and has saved the city a large amount of money. The whole of your presentment deserves the careful attention of the community. i especially commend t* the consideration of oar ciU •ene that portion of jour remarks which refers to oar Ccimty Prison. It is time that the crying evil of a want of accommoda* :ion for prieonerf, and the greater want of a House of Correction forvagranta, should be promptly remodiod. You have referred to the commitments issued by our magistrates in trifling cases. They maybe divided into two closers: I. Those which describe tho charge against the de fendant as a misdemeanor. lam advised that this form >s adopted in many cases of vagrancy in order to prevent the inspectors from -discharging the defendants. I trust i hat this may bo a misapprehenßion, for many of onr &\- derrnen are doubtli-eH upright officials, well entitled to the respect of the community, and 1 hope that whatever inav have cccured In this behalf is purely tho remit of accident It is, however, most unfortunate that the law i>bou)d be violated even iu the case of the most depraved numbers of society. I feel bound therefore to say that a commitment for a misdemeanor, without fuither description of the offence, in a mere m ll»tv. Ihe Constitution of the United States secures to every defendant the right “to be informed of tbenaturoand cause of tho accusation, and the Constitution of the State e-vnreesfy recognizes the same privilege. •‘A whi rant or mittimus against a man to answer to such things as shall be objected against him fa uUerly against tav " 2 Just., 691. “It ought to contain the certainty of the cause, and, therefore, if it be for felony .it ought not to bo generally for felony, but it must contain the special nature of too felony, briefly, os for felony tor tho death of such an one. or lor burglary,in breaking the house of such an one; aad the reason is because It may apooartothe judge uunn an habeas cornu# whether It be felony or not/* 3,U. H„ 122. And all tho forms are in accordance with this principle. See BiuD’e Justice. 83. 107, 188. 263, 283-3,619 637. This wholesome doctrine of law was enforced in the case of Williams ve. Jones, to the extent of holding tho magis trate, wto had toned on indesrriptive warrant, liable in trespass for false imprisonment. That case was tried in the District Court for this city and county, and in a learned opinion by President Judge Hare, tbe authorities are reviewod and the law dearly stated. {Leg. inf., April 10. 1868.) It may be proper to add that the warrants in that oaso were noarer to the re quirements of the law than those recently exhibited to me They charged the defendant with “abusing the complainant end inciting to a broach of the peace ** which, although no offeno*, wae at all events descriptive of some act, whereas a> commitment for misdemeanor might meau something recognizedby-the law -as indictableror-mUht', by the caprice of on alderman refer to the exercise of a constitutional right by the defendant which the magis trate regarded as a violation of prodriety. as where a do itndant was oemmitted for appealing from an adverse judgment. It Is unnecessary, / however, to elabo ratethis ‘ subject. > Sufficient for our purposes that the law Is so written, - Mo true lover of her principles or of the liberty ehogoarantees would desire to-sea it otherwise; and 1 feel.botmd, therefore, to say,that in my opinion ell itwa warrants are vo|d« and afl' persona eon*. s.

T i bo illegality of all tbeso com mitmez-ta will be made very cloar by a brief reference to tho statutes which it may baYc been supposed authorized tbe’e proceedings* ■The old Act of 1767 (Br. Dig. 999, $2) authorized any' justice to- commit idle and disorderly persons “beta? . thereof legally convicted** to the common jail of the county to be kept at hard labor for any time not exceed ing one month. •; * - The Act of March 22* 1836 (Br. Dig. 10CO».|6> directs that v “sll penons who moj/ be committed * • before the Mayor, Recorder* or any alderman of the city of Phils delphia?* as *j vagrant or disorderly person; shall be sentenced to suffer confinement at suitable employment in the Tarrant apartment of the city and county of Philadelphia for the term of one month.” A section of the same law directed that & vagrant apartment should be built (Hr. Dig. si>B. Sec 31), and the later statute 0f1854 (Br. Dig. 626) commanded the erection of a Borne of Correction in which all persons ** thereafter convicted as vagrant or disorderly” * * ehoald “bo - sentenced.” .The wholesome requirements of these laws . have beeh disregarded; and it may perhaps be doubted wbMber tboactof 1854 is not a repeal of tbe acta of 1767 and 1836, as to tho place of confinement* and if so wbothiiS v tbe jail can be longer used lor this class of Offend ers. But however this may be, it must be very clear that no perron can be committed under these statutes ertmere charge, although the charge may have been mace on oath. In addition to being accused ho mm tbe “conutcfca.” Wc all understand what tola word in-ports. No man can be convicted without trial A healing.or opportunity of being heard, is absolutely srcentialr-tbe defendant must be confronted with ..his accuser and have . tbe right of meeting the accusation. After all thts the rests upon the magistrate of en'oring a judgment*-and H he convict the defendant* then, and then only* can the commitment issue. A , commitment upon merejebaree* without trial, hearing and conviction, is a palpable violation of our rudest sense of natural jus tice,. , 1 o pass this by because the sufferers aro friendless outcasts would be a blot upou our record which no mere profession of benevolence could ever remove. The samo lemaiks apply to the commitments charging drunken* • nns*-:-. 4 The act of 17D4 (Br. BlO, sec. 8,) authorised the lm* position of a fine upon any person '-ctnoicUd" of intoxi cating himself. Tbe act of 1830 (Be.* Dig. 667. sec. 39.) In ert ased the fine to 85 if the person was “found intoxicated in any street;” but this was to be “upon .view or npon proof.” and it was to be ‘levied* * upon the goods and chattels of tbe defendant” Tbe act oflB3B (Br. Dig. riW, see. 48.) reduced the penalty to 82 The act-first cited provides for a commitment, in default of payment of tbe fine* “not exceeding 24 boura.” . A general commitment.therefore»for intoxication*with* ' ont specifying tbo duration of imprisonment or fixing it at*'Bodaye,”or“ttntjlthe next court,” is absolutely void. . So, too, au commitments for the same causa upon mere charge without hearing, trial and conviction* are ab solutely void. lam Informed that discharges are sometimes sent to the jail alter supposed convictions for vagrancy. Tniste also improper. Alter a regular conviction the magistrate has no control over the case. To such an extent has the law been overlooked la these mstten thatlactnally find one commitment which not only recites no trial or conviction, but is unsigned by the alderman who issued it Tbe community are indebted to Mr Win. J. Mullen, the *ffichnt agent of the prison, for calling the attentlon of ibe Court to these details. I have requested him to furnish me with tho numbers of these cases during the past year. It will hardly be credited that the commitments issued for intoxication, vagrancy and disorder during tbe year 1868 amounted to 1L260. if each defendant were confined but a single day—tbo expense to tho city treasury for this unnecessary and illegal item was over 88.000. If tho imprisonment were prolouged.the expense was of course increoFed. It is for the mun'cfpal authorities to consider whether a wasteful expenditure of this megnitudo should be con* tinued. But above all consideration of mere dollars, there is. a principle involved in this matter which comes home to every mie lover of law and of tbe liberty of whlchlaw professes to be tbe guardian. That clement of our hu* jronity s*eaks out ife clear tones of condemnation of these wrongs, and thi?, although the parties inflicting them may be high in authority and the sofferciß be tho outcasts of society. Obeying its dictate.it only remains for me to announce, as my deliberate conviction, that all the commitments referred to are on tbeir face dearly illegal and absolutely void. They should be rejected by tho Inspectors, and all parties concerned in their Issue or execution aro liable aa trespassers. Oyeb ani> Teewineb—Jndses Brewster and Lud low.—This morning Joseph 11. Bowers wa* put on trial, charged with manelanehier in causing the death of Mr?. 6opbia Hecht on November 3d, by a mistake in compounding a prescription. The circumstances of the case will be remembered. Mr*. Hecht had been laboring under a nervous affection, for which assafee tida, three grains, were made into pills. The prescrip tion bad been compounded upon *eveta! occasions correctly, but on the 3d of November, 1863, the de- who was In charge of tbe drag store at Sixth and Green streets, gave three grains of atropia, which earned Mrs, Hcchi’s death, notwithstanding the ef forts of physicians to relieve her by means of anti dotes. The testimony this mornim? for the Commonwealth was to this effect, with the admission of the defend ant that be had made the mistake. On trial. rilE COAL. ItIISEKS. Action ol tbe My do Park miner. In Pavar of Su,pen«ian. [From the Scranton (Pa.) Kepnblican, April 2a) A large number of miners mol last evening in Fellews’ Hall, Hyde Park, to take into con sideration the great question of to-day in the mining districts—suspension. Speeches were made by several persons, some opposing and others urging that they join in the movement for suspension. Mr. Williams, of Wllkesbarre, gave a very long epeteh. He said the question was greatly mis construed. It was not a question of ba3is, but of suspension. He considered this meeting import ant. Everybody watched it. The workmen did, and so did the monopolies. The monopolies were using every means to sever Hyde Park from the Association. He stated that the talk about equalization between Schuylkill and Luzerne in tho production of coal was all non sense. Hyde Park was throwing cold water into tho face of every workingman out side of it. The . lower counties had a most beantifol organization, everything com plete. Even Luzerne was organized, with the ex ception of Hyde Park. Would Hyde Park stand aloof while the others were on duty? Would they work while the lower counties were idle? Hyde Park was the centre of the intelligence of the mining class, and its help was needed. He thought suspension would not hurt. The com panies favored it, with the exception, perhapß, of one large company iB this district. The sus pension is a fixed fact. The order has gone forth. The day is fixed. If Hyde Park shoald refuse, the suspension would nevertheless take place. Tbe bogus auction sales at New Yoik have been the ruling and raining power of the workingmen. Why should we patronize monopoly? If Hyde Park refuses to eo operate, the monopoly will have its own way. Luzerne miners could do nothing, and they would have to join the “Molly Maguires" of Schuylkill before they could assert their rights as workingmen. Mr. Williams then gave the meeting some statistics as to the pro duction of coal and tbe rate of supply and de mand. and from these argued that a suspension was the only salvation for a healthy state of the market. After other general remarks he stated that in less than four weeks in the anthracite coal fields, on a single morning—a beauty of organi zation unknown outside of the army—thirty tboneand miners would obey the word of com mend. He would have a suspension first, and then tbe other difficulties would be settled. A council was held at Hazleton in three days after the date of suspension. Alter considerable discussion tho following mo tion was pul: “That wc shall not suspend without a basis." This motion was lobL Another motion was put' “That we comply with the adjoining counties, and suspend.” Carried by a large majority.
