BAD FOR THE WHISKY BING.
v The sentence pronounced, yesterday, by
Jake Cadwalader, upon George. Mountjoy, of
the Whisky Ring, is a terrible blow to that
Ihrmidable organization. Mountjoy, like his
old French namesake, is reputed to have been
a sort of King-at-arms among the banded con
spirators against the revenue laws. He belongs
to that select circle of our Democratic wire
pullers who wear purple and fine linen, and
fare sumptuously every day; looking sleek and
oomely on Chestnut street ; of polite demeanor
and smooth address. This inner circle is very
select, its members not numbering a dozen in
all; but it has - been a very active and dangerous
body, and would be more so, if it could
enjoy the Democratic privilege of being
" let alone." In these latter days,
since the close of the reign of its
friend and patron, Andrew Johnson, the
Whisky Ring has " come to grief." The offi
cers of the law have found their hands
strengthened and their hearts encouraged to
pursue and punish these robbers of the reve
nue, these despisers of the law. The Whisky
Ring has fallen upon troublous time, in the
days of President Grant. Without respect of
persons, the strong arm of law has dealt blow
after blow at this wicked combination, with
fatal effect. Ilaggerty has become a skulking
fugitive from justice; three of the hired would
be assassins of Detective Brooks are safe in the
Penitentiary; others of the same gang are
awaiting trial; and now, Mountjoy, a tower of
strength to the Whisky Ring, has received his
quietus for the next two years. The Ring
is badly damaged. The inspiration
of an honest, independent Administration at
Washington has been felt all along the line,
and every branch of the public service, detec
tive, prosecuting and jadicial, paralyzed by the
systematic complicity of Andrew Johnson with
the transgressors of the law, is now working
diligently and successfully, in harmonious ac
tion, to destroy one of the worst criminal com
binations ever made in any country. District-
Attorney Smith and his efficient aid, Mr. Valen
tine, en the one part, and Judge Cadwalader,
on the other, deserve high praise for the fear
less and faithful discharge of their duties in
this matter. They are making it plainer than
ever that social position, wealth and political
influence cannot save offenders from the just
penalty of their transgressions; and the com
munity at large ,cannot too highly esteem
these servants of the law who are thus laboring
to enforce the laws and to sustain the Ad
, ministration of President Grant in its efforts to
collect the revenues arid to suppress the out
rageous frauds which enjoyed such disgraceful
immunity ander Andrew Johnson's government.
It is already intimated that preliminary steps
have been taken to procure a pardon for Mount
joy. His friends are numerous, unscrupulous,
liberal with their ill-gotten money, well-versed
in all the tricks of their trade, with much
power, and deeply experienced in the busi
ness of tampering with officers of the law and
of extricating each other from the consequences
of their crimes. But where are they to get
a pardon for George Mountjoy? It could only
come from one source, and there is no reason
to hope that any ingenuity of rascality could
ivorin its way into the Executive Chamber at
Washington, and persuade Ulysses S. Grant to
extend aid and comfort to his worst enemies.
The President has chosen for the corner-stone
of his Government a strict and faithful and
economical fulffilment of the laws of the land;
he will 'certainly stand by this cardinal
principle. The scurvy crowd of pardon
brokers, male and female, that once swarmed
about the White House, is dispersed, and the
,).President has surrounded himself by a cordon
of departmental officers, pledged to his own
honest policy, through which Mr. Mountjoy's
friends will find it hard to break.
That the most desperate efforts will be made
to secure a pardon for this pet criminal there is
yea reason to doubt. If they ever succeed, the
• • ; suitors .and
,Congressmen of Pennsylvania
.01 be responsible for it. It is their duty to
;tect the Executive from the false represen
....,i,.'",: ''ens and machinations. of the Philadelphia
•;;;;',4"tiky Rips. As members and its agent
9
Y
~x~::,
are well known. The public sentiment of
Philadelphia is overwhelmingly on the side of
a severe infliction of the penalties of 'the law
upon the, perpetratera' of revenue frauds. The
community will look to its Senatore aid' Re :
presentatives to see that the President k 3 not
deceived into any clemency for theSe whisky
convicts. If Mountjoy or any one of the lesser
lights of the Whisky Ring is pardoned,
it. can, only be by the practice
sonic deception upon the Presiden't
for ,which those nearest to him will be. fairly
held responsible.' It is hard enough to seem
convictions in these, cases, and where the law
succeeds in vindicating itself, its Officers must',
not be discouraged by the interposition of mis
directed' clemency. We can imagine but. one
consideration that could possibly be brought to
bear in favor of lifountjoy, and as that is a
pecuniary one, it is needless to Say - that the
present Vxecutive cannot, be reached by it. t
PROTECTION FOR THE BOOK-RIALKEWI.
gvery axle wbo trarls in the railroad cars,
or 10616 intoaiV', of our book'-stores, =twit be
struck with the vast number of cheap'-English
publications; that ern ,ofrered for
„sale. T4se
are books issued
. for the American markel,
'which, under our presentiaivs; cab be Printed
in England, exported to America and retailed
all over the country', at lower prices than any
American publisher could furnish them from
home labor. Undv our Present internal
revenue laws the publisher of a book in
America has to pay, directly and indirectly,
so many taxes, that it is impossible for him to
compete with the English publisher. There
are taxes on printing ink, and on the
materials it is made of; taxes, on
the type manufactured and the
metal used in it; taxes on the paper manufac
ture and the material used in it; taxes on all
the chemicals employed in paper, types and
ink; taxes on the bookbinder's work • and all
the materials he uses, and taxes on the income
of all the manufacturers of all the different
articles used in the, 'production of a book—
except the brains... The makers of our revenue
laws, in devising means for the suppression of
American publications, seem, however, to have
taxed their own brains heavily.
It is a positive fact that every book, not pro
tected in this country by a copywright, can be
printed in England; shipped to America, and
sold in our stores much cheaper than
any equally good American edition of it can be
offered. , Enormous editions, of American as
well as English works, offered for sale and
bearing an American imprint, are really English
manufactures. Our laws, in fact, seem to have
been especially devised to destroy the business
of book publishing in America, and to put our
money into the pockets of the English paper
maker, type-founder, printer, book-binder and
all the various artisans and laborers dependent
on them. Under such a system, American pub
lishers naturally avail themselves of the favors
of the laws, and have their work done in Eng
land. They can make money by such a pro
cess, and just now it is perfectly legal that they
should do so. But American paper-makers,
type-makers, printers, book-binders, and half a
dozen other kinds of producers and workers
are injured just in proportion as these foreign
books are introduced. The various taxes on
all their work Were imposed as part of a war
tax, without consideration as to the gross ef
fect. To compensate for such tax there should
have been a duty'on imported books, bound
or unbound, or in sheets ; a duty, too, on im
ported stereotype plates, which interfere with
the work of the type-make and the type-setter
and the stereotyper of our own country. These
departments of American industry are not
quite so extensive as some others that our reve
nue laws protect liberally; but they are
just as worthy of Protection. Indeed, in many
respects, they are much more worthy ; for the
literary talent of the country is dependent, in
a large degree, upon the encouragement given
to publishers of books.
The remedy for all these evils, and others
resulting from them, is, as we have •already
said, a joint one: a reduction or abolition of
many of the taxes that oppress the book-pub
lisher, and a specific duty on imported books.
There is nothing on this subject in the fantastic
document that Mr. David A. Wells, Special
Commissioner of the Revenue, calls his
"Report." But if there is anything that
especially needs protection, in the interest of
the intellect as well as the industry of the
American people, it is the book-publishing
business; and although Mr. Wells has not
thought it worthy of mention, we trust it will
receive the attention of Congress.
WHO 111 IT ?
We published an interesting circular, yester
day, addressed to 44 The Members of the Dem
ocratic Association of Pennsylvania." It is a
remarkable document, upon which italics and
capitals and parentheses have been lavished un
til it presents one grand sustained emphasis of
mysterious meaning, which challenges the
scrutiny of the curious, while it excites the
admiration of students of English literature.
This Democratic Rosetta Stone has come to
light, nobody knoWs how. It seems to be a
doraostic electioneering document, of some
kind. The paper on which our copy is printed
is somewhat dingy of color, but the most care
ful chemical tests have failed to discover any
faint traces of coffea arabicct, with . which
Democratic documents are prepared. Our ex
perts, however, have reason to believe that
this mysterious circular has reference to a very
un-Democratic little trick to make a certain
individual President of the Coffee-Pot Club at
Ninth and Arch streets. It will be remembered
that a• clique of the C. P. C. undertook the
same little game last fall, changing the city
ticket of the Democracy_ by an arbitrary over- .
riding of the Democratic rules, with a success
that scarcely warranted a repetition of the
clever dodge. Not discouraged by that stupen
dous failure, however, the same little circle has
nominated some mysterious being as President
of the C. P. C., and at this mysterious being
this modern Rosetta Stone is hurled.
It is the opinion of our best experts that. the
circular is "sarkasm," and there seems to be
some good reasons for the theory. Its author,
or authors—it can scarcely have been produced
by a single mind—give vaiious \ reasons why
the mysterious being shoUld be , elected Presi
dent of the C. Y. C. First, he has
.been a
school-director. Second, he has been defeated
for the District-Attorneyship. Third, he kept
"mum" during the Rebellion. Fourth, he was
in the 'Quarter Sessions Ring." Fifth,, he is
in the "Whiskey Ring." Sixth, the merchants
and business men want him.
Who is It? There are, here and there, thin
places in this artful circular, through which our
expertshave fancied that they detected the
familiar features of a distinguished member Of

JUSTICE TO THE BEAM
The people of this country owe to Edwin M.
Stanton a. debt which could never have been
paid•m fall if that groat mau had Ilyed to, receive
the highest honors in our gift. His death iletri t ol,vs
the pos.sibility of, personal recompense, but,he
leaves behind him a family which was iMpov
erished for the, countrY's sake. When Mr.
Stanton was called by 'President Lincoln to
occupy that high office the duties of which he
administered with such masterly ability • and
with such grateful results to the _nation,: be
abandoned a lucrative practice, which in a few
years would haie made him a wealthy man.
Duringhis tenure of office, he expended
millions of money, and he pos
sessed such enormous power that he
might easily have enriched himself, as others
have done, dishonestly, and have retired to
spend the rest of his life in luxury and •ease.
But he came.away from the War Office a poor
man. Broken down by his arduous and in
cessant labors, and needing rest as badly as
any man ever needed it, be began bravely to
labor for the support of his family, and he. died
in the harness, his death, 'without doubt, being
the result of his severe toil. His wife and
children are poor; and if the people of this
nation are not ready to acknowledge the claims
that these helpless persons have upon them,
they will suffer from actual want. The Union
League of this city, at the suggestion of Mr.
Boric, has undertaken to raise a fund for Mr.
Stanton's family, and the New York Union
League has made a movement in the same di
rection. But we think that the consummation
of this act of justice should not be the work of
private organizations or individuals alone. Mr.
Stanton sacrificed himself and his fortune for
the whole country; he died for tho nation, and
we reap the benefits of that sacrifice while his
children bear the burden of it. It is fitting,
therefore, that there should be some recogni
tion of his services on the part of the whole
people. and that the nation should contribute
to the relief of the necessities of the sufferers.
A generous appropriation ought to be
made by Congress, not for the purpose of
anticipation and prevention of private of
ferings, but rather as an accessory to them.
We hope that the subject will receive
immediate attention; and if any surly spirit
should urge as an argument against such an
appropriation, that nothing was given by Con
gress to Mr. Lincoln's family, let the reply be
made that the failure of one Congress to do its
plain duty, should not afford a precedent for sub
sequent injustice. The people of the country
demand this tribute to Mr. Stanton's memory,
and they will heartily approve the greatest
liberality in bestowing it. If we needed any
further inducement than that supplied by a
just appreciation of Mr. Stanton's actual ser
vices, we might find it in the fact, that such
honesty as his is rare enough among public
men to have deserved substantial recognition
and generous reward.

FIRES IN NEW YORK.
A 512,000 Tire in the JEtinery sad a
h 30,000 Fire In Cherry !street.
The Herald says:
- About 3 o'clock yesterday morning a fire
occurred in the tiro-story frame building No.
166 and 1661 Bowery, owned by N. Tobias,
which 'sustained $l,OOO damage. The lire
originated in the rear of No. ItZI, occupied
as a confectionery store by A. Myer:
loss 12,000 on stock and furniture; insured for
$2 . ,100. The building was consumed together
with Nes. 168 and 1681, to which the names ex
tended, and which was occupied by B. Blanth
as a jewelry store and dwelling, and S. Her
rieg,dealer in furs. The former's loss is $1,800;
insured for $8,500; the latter's about $2,000 ;
insurance not ascertained. The fire also ex
tended to 164, owned by A. Barth, whose loss
on building is $2,000 ; insured for $lO,OOO. Mr.
Barth occupied the place as a cigar store and
dwelling, upon which there is 4 K3,000 loss and
$15.000 insurance. These estimates are made
by Mr. Hawkey, of Fire Marshal Brackett's
office. and are doubtless very near the.mark.
About nine o'clock last evening a fire oc
curred in the iron foundry of Pease &
Murphey, Nos. 484 and 486 Cherry street. The
structure is four stories high and covers
nearly an entire block. The flames burst out
on the top floor, wheKe 530,000 worth of pat
terns were stowed, all of which were de
stroyed. The foundry has not been working
for some time, and, it is said. is advertised for
sale. The damage to building is about $5OO.
As none of the owners were present the in
surance could not be ascertained.
MYSTERIOUS CAME.
Supposed Suicide in the Mountains or
New Jersey.
The authorities of Orange, N. J., are con
siderably agitated just now touching the death
of a man named Anthony Gernhartit, a painter,
from New York, whose body was found by
some boys, eight or nine days ago, in the woods
on the mountain adjoining the property 01
General George B. McClellan, under circum
stances of a very suspicious nature. The face
was entirely eaten away, and a pistol, unload
ed, was found lying by the side, of the corpse.
On, Thursday last a man amed Daniel
Kurt, claiming to he an insurance' agent,
of .Newark, called on Coroner Williams
and stated that be was tin receit of
letter dated December from Mrs. J. p Shel
lenberger, of No. 826 East Twenty-eighth
street, New „York, asking him to go to Orange
and see if the body was that of Anthony.Gern
bardt, a painter, unmarried, who left the house
of the woman above mentioned on the 28th of
November, with the intention (according to
the letter) of going to Orange, so as to be away
from any one, and there commit suicide. Kurt
examined the body and identified it as Gern
hardt's. An inquest was, however, ordered,
and Kurt manifested so much uneasiness
during the preliminary proceedings that the
Coroner has deemed it proper to order his ar
rest. • The inquest will be resumed to-day. In
the .meantime there is certainly good reason
for suspicion of foul playl_
THE FRANIKING PRIVILEGE.
The Movement for Its ,Abolition.
The following circular letter'.: has been ad
dressed by Congressman Hill to his constitu
ents in New Jersey. Mr. Hill is Chairman of
the Bub-Committee of three appointed by the
Heinle Postal Committee to consider the
Franking Privilege and other subjects :
HOUSE ON RENIXSENTIIart - ES, WASHING
TON, D. C. Dec. 20,.1869.—T0 my Constititents
of the Nth'Congresszonal District of NOLD . Jersey :
A. determined effort is now being made to
abolish the Franking Privilege. I respect
fully ask you to unite with me in the effort to
bring it about, liy signing the following pe
tition. There are many reasons why it should
be abolished. According to the Postmaster-
General's ,Report, it is costitg the Milted
States Government annually millions of dol
lars. It would in all probability save the pub
lishing of many hundred thousand dollars'
worth of books. It would require each Depart
ment of Government to pay its own postage
out of appropriations for incidental expenses
of Departments annually made by Congress.
It would require every individual who mails
or receives letters to pay their postage, thus
granting "equal rights' to all, and all matter
passing through-the mails thus-pay ..postage.
The best reason ()fall, ,If all free matter is•
cut off, and expense of Post-office Department
curtailed, it will become a, paying institution,
and- tend-, to give -. us . cheap postage,
that all alike, the poor 'as will : as
the ileh, tuay enjoy 'Rs benefits; • and.
not require. the poor mares, postage to„ help
pay for carryingfree matter in the maiLs. It
will help to scatter intelligence throughout
the country, for When letters :and papers.; eau
be carried cheap through the mans, the dias.ses
of the people will get them, and be benefited
thereby. Other reasons could he given Why
• the Franking Privilege, should be abolished,
but I will stop hete, and hope that you will
respond to this request by signing the petition
attached.• - ' ••, 01INHILL.

The New York Money Market.
fFrom the Herald of today.]
MONDAY, Dec. 27.—The week opened en a very dull
condition of affairs iu Wall street. At the Stock Ex
change the transactions were barely sufficient to make
quotations, while in the Long Room the usual throng
was reduced to a dozen of brokers. The money market
was easy at six to seven per cent. and barely felt the ac-
Witty occasioned by the preparations of the savings in
stitutions to meet the instalments of interest falling due
next week. The inactivity of the Stock Exchange. of
course, allows this activity to pass almost without effect.
The prospect for the future is without apprehension of
stringency. The operations of the Treasury for the
week are also iu favor of easy Money inasmuch as the
government will purchase three millions of Londe
against the sale of only two millions of ttold•
in eemmercial paper there was so perceptible change.
Prime double names ranged from nine to twelve per cent.
and single mimes , from ten to twenty-four.
The Assistant Treasurer has given notice that alt
bonds. interest paved , in January and July, which may
be offered at the government purchaeee ibis week must
be offered ex-interest.
The government market was strong and steady ; the
fluetnatione of the day being in favor of higher prices ;
but the difference between the opening and closing prices
wax only an eighth to a quarter per cent. There were
no q uotations from London, MS yesterday was observed
there as a portion of the Christmas holiday time.
The gold market was heavy is response to the absence
of any order from Washingtonditniuishing the gold sales
of the week, and the price declined from .120:;, to I'AP:
recovering eventually to 10%e,. 0n the liminess of ex
change.

offered Judge Richardson to remain, both by
President Grant and Secretary Bontwell, but
he finds his salary inadequate, and will not,
therefore, consentto remain any longer.
THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL - SHIP.
It is given out to-day by his friends, that
Attorney-General Hoar will remain in the
Cabinet only a short time, and will then ten
der his resignation to the President. Thepre
vailing opinion is that Judge Strong, of Penn
sylvania, will succeed him, it being known
that the President tendered bim the position
when it we supposed that Mr. Hoar would
resign to go on the Supreme Bench.

NEW YORK, Dec. 28.—A statement which
obtained currency yesterday to the effect that
irregularities had been discovered in the Mer

true. The Committee, now in session, has dis
covered, so far, a deficiency of $150,000, and
the total amount will probably prove much
larger. .So far, no names of delinquent par

The Weather in New York--. Collision.
[Ny Hasson's News Agency.l
NF.W Yontz. Dec. 28.—The city was en
veloped in fog this morning, and almost
everything was completely obscured by the,
dense vapor. On the water the fog was very
thick, and only by extraordinary precautions
collisions were prevented.
The ferry-boats made irregular trips and
navigation was extremely' hazardous. The
Staten Island ferry-boat Middletown made a
narrow escape from colliding with vessels,
and but for the 'United States guard at Fort
Columbus, it would have been run ashore.
Early this morning the terry-boat Morristown
ran into a sloop . on East River and received
serious damage. One passenger had his skull
fractured by the mast of the schooner. The
ferry boats between New York and Williams
burg, suspended trips. A heavy storm
set m and the rain Came down in torrents,
necessitating a suspension of outdoor business.

Tribune we extract the following
ATTEMTTSCP AINAANINATI: DENA, FIGUENNO,
DIAZ, AND 'MARC/ENO. ',," I •
plai7l.. '' .a:iiipted,"by Gen: Caballero de
Rodas seems to be the assassination of all the,
chiefs of the revolution. , Brigadier Luis Fi
guredO hid the honor of being the first man
against whom such a vile attempt" Was made.
, A soldier of the enemy having passed to his
lines WhoMbewas unwilling to trust, an order
was given to arrest bitty, when he.wae oom.:
pelJed to 'confess that the objebt•of 'hie coming
to •Figurede's camp was, to"assassinate that
general. It were unnecessary to sayabat the
soldier was immediately ,ahot. About the
fifteenth of last July' , " four men ' of
Gete•Modeßto liaz's forces left, but returned
in abbut two months, 'preSenting - themselves
thallium at the camp of Gen: Lois Mareatfo
(sticeeseor of the Marcella who had been in
comMand of the Division'of Bayarno).. These
men assured the General that they bad ( been
out in the vicinity of.alanzanillo, where they
bad been engagell'in firing upon the SPanish
Soldiers who were f o und going out into the
country in small bodi A: fear days after this
occurrence the General, having sent out an es
cort to make a reconnoisance, asked for a few
soldiers to guard the camp in place of the es
cort. The four individuals beiore referred to
responded to the call; , with , otheis
they- -_were__admitted. _ to _this__ I tierylee,
and during the night, while one of
them was on duty as a sentinel, there
was beard a report of firearms in the camp.
Soon itwae learned that the discharges had
been fired into the bodies of the General and
another officer, who was: bis brother. Forthe
moment the troops supposed they had been
surprised, by the enemy, Captain Nicholas
O'hala dißcharged his weapon at 'one of the
aggressors and killed' him, and ' put to a
precipitate flight the other three by' that
act. • The brothera • Marcano bad received
besides light wounds from a machete. The
proof that the Spanish Governhaent was
mixed up in these assassinations is found in
the fact that
,greatrejoicing.was. had in Man
zanillo over the event, Whenmusic,discharges
of cannon, and other demonstrations occurred
in recognition of the death of Gen. , Marcano,
though wrongly informed, as the Spaniards
were, by the assassins who bad doubtless gone
there to get their reward.
" A few days ago a man of bad aspect pre
sented himself to the General-in-Chief, mani
festing, at the time, adesire to form a part of
his escort. He was apprehended and his per
'son tborcnighly searched, when a large and
very sliatp - knile was , found carefully con
cealed on him,and in one of hispockets a pass
port signed by the secretary of the Captain-
General, in which the request was made that
he should not be hindered in any particular
until his safe arrival in Camaguey. At this
moment he is being put upon trial; bat
there is no , difficulty in divining the object
of his visit, nor the fact that he had been
sent by the Captain-General. According to
information received from :Ammonite the
Spanish Government has sent another ass assin
to murder Gen. Modesto Diaz,_ who is fully
forewarned. Such acts will hardly excite the
sympathies of civilized people in behalf of ;
Spain—the defender, as she is, of slavery. The:
war of the enemy seems to rejoice in perse
cuting families and in assassinating all per-,
sons whom it reaches, even the most peace-,
ably disposed. The Spaniards spare not those'
who endeavor to keep out of our way,and who
wish in no respect to have anything to do
with the war."
SPANISH OUTRAGES AND MASSACRE.
The forces of the enemy at Maniabon, not,
feeling entirely secure there, retired to Puerto
Padre about the lath of last month. They
bad, however, before retiring, assassinate)
great many people of the neighborhood, who
had been met in excursions, among whom
were numbered seven women and lave chil
dren. The enemy, however, when aasas
sinating, often makes pretensions to victories
gained, and counts the poor victims of
his barbarity as among the slain
soldiers of our army. In proof of this,
among a thousand others, I might cite to you
the case of Juan Sanchez Ysaguirre, a distin
guished lawyer of aranzanillo. This gentle
man, because of a pulmonary complaint, bad
retired with his family to a place near Nagua.
On the 27th the house was attacked by the
Spaniards, and because of the pitiable state in
which he was at the time, the poor man was
unable to fly, and consequently bad to remain
along with one of his friends, Ramon Salazar,
who had been attending him as a brother,
and was unwilling to leave his side. Both
were assassinated and their bodies horribly
mutilated. But this affair was made to figure
in the journals as a feat of arms; it being said
thatthese men fell in an engagement. The
family of the murdered man fled to the neigh
boring mountains, were captured a few days
thereafter, and all that they possessed was
stolen by the Spanish soldiers, even to the ear
rings worn bythe ladies. The wife of Ysaguirre
(whose maiden name was Amalia Gar
cia) was buffeted by some of these men be
cause she offered some resistance at being
despoiled. The vileness of the Spanish soldiers
does not eud here, for they compelled the
wife of the unforianate man to sign a letter,
which was published, wherein she was made
to render thanks to the Spanish commander for
the attentions of which. she had been the ob
ject. This officer was Juan Lopez de Campillo,
the murderer of her husband.
THE ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE GEN. QUESADA.
Be.nigno Tejedo was the name of the indi
vidual who was despatched from Havana to
assassinate Quesada. The passport he bore
was stamped as follows: " Goinerno Superior
Politico-'.-Seeretarke." There was, besides, on
the paper the words " Gobierno, Capitania Gen
eral y 2superintendencia delegada de hacienda de la
siempre jiel Isla de Cuba.' The document thus
reads :
"I concede permission to D.Benigno Tejedo
to pass to Porto Principe without any impedi
ment being offered thereto.—Havana, Sept. 1,
186'). •
" 11 yorder of the Most Excellent Governor
Superior Civil.
" The Secretary, Casanto Flosayniz."
In sending this paper to. Sailor Lemus,
Seiler Agremonte adds a note, which hi as
follows : " This is the document which was
found on the person who presented himself to
the. General-in-Chief with the intention of
going into his escort. It has been received
from the General-in-Chief, who states that
Tejedo has been hung, he having been con
victed of, and confessed to, an intention of
assassinating him. Before tiling he told the
bystanders that they might inform the Presi
dent of the Republic and the General-in-Chief,
who now held him, that he had a proposition
made to him, at Havana, for their a:was:dna
tion. ' EnUARDO AGRAMONTE."

an International Cable Convention...-
Interesting .Lettor Corns Seeretary Fish
belabor Forth His Views.
The following communication. from Secre
tary Fish, addressed to oar ministers and 'di
plomatic agents in foreign countries, Will be
read with interest, as embodying the views of
President Grant on' the subject of interna
tional cables. The proposition of the Presi
dent for a convention of all the Powers inter
ested in the subject is one that will commend
itself as containing the practical solution of a
question which threatens a deluge of diplo
matic correspondence':
DEPAIMMENT'OF ISTATE,:WAIIIIINGTOX, Nov.
18, 1869.—Sir :—The President thinks the
present moment favorable for the negotiation
of a joint convention by the maritimerowers
of the world for the protection of submarine .
cables. The United States have a peculiar in-,
terest in fostering construction of these in
'dispensable avenues of intelligence and in
protecting them ~against wanton injury. Its
domains extend trom ocean to ocean, and its
commerce plies at regular intervals alike from
the ports of the Atlantic and of the Pacific to
the ports of Europe and of Asia. Its citizens
on the shores of both oceans are in constant
communication with each other across the
Continent, both by the rail and the telegraph.
This central position in the commerce of the
world entitleethe 'United States to initiate this
movement for the common benefit of the com
"tierce and civilization .of all. The features
which. the President desires to incorporate
into the proposed convention are :
First—Suitable previsions for the protec
tion of such cable lines, In time of pteace and
of war, againstWilful or wanton destruction
or injury. We have seen during the present
year the submarine cable connecting Cuba
- with the United States severed, and communi
cation through it interrupted. The President
proposes to prevent similar destruction and
injnry hereafter, by a joint declaration that
such acts shall be deemed .to be acts .of
,piracy
and punished as such.
Second—Suitable provisions to encourage
the future construction of such lines. Ex
perience has already shown that the assump
tion by one nation to .control- the connection
with the shores of another will lead to com
plications that may, unless arranged, result
in preventing all directtelegraphic communi
cations between the two countries. The Presi
dent deems that this can be best prevented in
future by providing that hereafter • no exclu
sive concession shall be made without the
joint action of the two governments , whose
shores are to be connected. In this way the
capital of both countries will be enlisted., and
1 at the same time possible causes of difference
I will be removed.
Third—Previsions against scrutiny of me. -
sages in government officials. The President
thinks that the right to establish such 4
scrutiny in favor of the Power controlling
either end of the, cable is calculated to lead
to trouble, and had therefore better be pre
vented.
A draft of a convention embodying these
points has been prepared, and is herewith
inclosed. It will be understood, boiveVer;'
that this is submitted simply as a basis for
future discussion, should the leading Powers
concur with the United States in considering
the subject one for international consideration
and jurisdiction. The President desires that
the representatives at Washington of Great
Britain, France, Portugal, Spain, Italy, North
Germany, Austria, Russia, Belgium, Holland,
Sweden and Norway, Denmark, Turkey,
Greece, Venezuela, Brazil, the Aventine
Confederation,' Colombia, Bolivia, Peru,
Ecuador and Chile,. may be empowered to
enter jointly and simultaneously into nego
tiations with the United States and with each
other, with a view of concluding a joint con
vention for the,purposes hereinbefore referred
to, and instructions identical with these are
issued to the representatives of the United
States at each of those Powers. You will, upon
the receipt of this, propose to the Cabinet
.of to give to Its Minister at Washing
ton powers to enter into such negotiations
with the United States and with the repre
• sentatives of such other Powers as may he,
empowered for that purpose and to conclude
with them such a joint convention, and yen
are at , liberty, in your discretion, to furnish
to the Minister for Foreign Affairs a copy - of
these instructions and their inclosure.
