by an overwhelming majority. A small

suggested that ho is apprehensive that
other things not in the programme might
be, attempted if a Republican Legislature
should be again convened. If the Gov- -

amount of credulity in his composition.

Alarmed by, the JnisieUresentOons and
appeals of the Conservatives.
The Philadelphia. North American
thinks it "far from clear that the next—
the regnlar—session would not copy the
example of an Eastern State and repeal
the ratification." Our cotemporary for
gets that New Jersey and Oregon have
been adilsed, from Secretary SEWARD,
that theo is no warrant in the Constitu
tion or iin the prece.dents, for the with
drawal bf an assent of this sort, when it
has once been recorded in the archives of
the nation.
FOR , BOMB TIME, now, our city has
been !decorated, here , and there, with
startling sentences printed in chalk in
prominent: places . Some of, 'these sen
tence are selectd from the. Bible, but
mostl of them are by no means of in.
spired origin. Pittsburgh is not the first
city which has awakened of a morning
to be startled by this singular irruption,
but tinder whose auspices the work is
done we are unable to state. That the
mind of the disseminator is eccentric,
and that this eccentricity is in the worst
possible taste, we think most persons will
agree. It is barely possible that some
unwary soul may be reminded, by these
peculiar means, of the necessity of pre
paring for a future state of existence, but,
for one person who is benefitted thereby,
scores will see only the ridiculous side of
the affair, and indeed that side is by far
the most prominent. The person who
has so officiously displayed his handi
work seems to have had no judgment as
to the proper places to display certain sen
tences. For instance, on the top of a
board pile, on Duquesne Way, he has
placed the sentence, "Come to Jesus,"
and we venture tomsert that nine out
of every ten pens who eaw it
there had all the possible good
effects of the suggestion smothered
by the ridiculously palpable idea that a
compliance with the i n vitation, neCessi.
toted the scaling of the lofty pile of
boards. Again, he selected the side-walk
of the Allegheny suspension bridge to
point the question "Where will I spend
Eternity ?" Nothing could be more nat
ural than that the boys should at once
alter a sentence so easily within their
reach, and the result was that the ques
tion was changed, by the erasion of three
letters, to the assertion, "here ill spend
eternity," and many more saw this ab
surd version than were at all influenced'
by the first. Instances of this sort could
be greatly multiplied, but we do not think
it necessary, for we have no desire to add
to the ridicule which has been already
the chief result of this new city decora
tion. That any one desiring to adorn
the city in this way can lawfully do so,
there is probably no doubt, but we think
that all good citizens will unite in en
deavoring to prevent such desecration of
good words and such a disfiguration of
our, not tco beautiful, city, if they at any
time find it in their power to do so.

A STAIN UPON OUR. FLAG.
We spoke, yesterday of the abuses
which are believed to be practised upon tile
seamen, by the officers of our public ships.
This is a subject which begins to attract
general attention from the press. There
is no use in disputing the fact that a good
deal of cruelty is systematically exhibited
in the treatment of enlisted seamen, and
that this is true, to a greater degree, of the
officers of our navy than of any othe r
service in Christendom. We do not care
to speculate upon the causes which lead
to this pre-eminent disgrace upon the
flag of a republican and free people. The
fact itself is not to be disputed. On for
eign service, in foreign waters, lying in
foreign ports, side by sfde with the war
' ships of England, France, Sp
\ ain and even
Russia, it is notorious all over the world
that an American man-of-war is, nine cases
out of ten, deserving of the name It bears

tyranny of the lords of the quarter-deck ,
republicans and theoretical believers,
every man of them, in human equality,
have blackened for fifty years the honor
of our armed marine, with the most in
famona name, in that regard, among all
Christian nations. Here, as we write,
comes a paragraph under - our eyes, from
Wasliington, which speaks of the great
difficulty in procuring seamen for these
vessels. It is part of Jack's gospel in
every port on the globe, when looking
for a berth; to shun a Yankee frigate ex
pressly be use she is almost invariably a

nineteen-twentieths are always of a foreign
nationality. American sailors shun our
men-of-war as they would a pestilence or
Davy Jones himself. And solely be
cause of this notorious cruelty of the offi

It is well that Secretary Rabeson has
taken order for a rigid enquiry with this
alleged abuse of the SeITIC 43 .

TIIE CUT WATER SUPPLY.
We have often, heretofore, expressed
our concurrence in the preferences ex
hibited by our best engineers, and espe
cially advocated by Mr. ROBBBTS, for re
lying upon the Allegheny River for the
future water -supply of this rapidly in
creasing city. It is evident, therefore, that
we shall heartily concur in the decisive
action of Councils, on Monday last, in
selecting the site of the new works which
are to distribute this indispensable ele
ment among the vast population of our
Pittsbargh of the future. The unani

tee have recognized the logic of the situ

is not likely' to fail, materially, in any

of the water, which fifty years hence, will
be pumped from the Allegheny river,-at
so short a distance beyond the present
verge of the city's population as will then,
quite certainly, with our material growth
be 'within the contaminating !nfluences of
a dense suburban life-will then be so
deteriorated as to require a far longer step
up the'valley. Let fifty years hence take
care of itself, provided we can be quite
sure of the intermediate supply. And of
that there appears to be but little doubt.
OUR DIPLO3IACY AT MADRID.
The Cuban question comes up in a new
aspect. We have now a denial that any
proposition, official or unofficial, has been
made from this country for the guarantee
of Cuban bonds. It is however admitted
that we have offered, in case of an agree
ment by Spain to part with her sovereign
ty for any, specified sum, to present the
United States as a trustee, to receive and
hold the revenues of the island by way
of security for the payment. This pro
posal was declined at Madrid. Our Min
ister, Gen. Sickles, is now, it is reported,
about to make another overture for the
adjustment of thiS question, as follows:
First --Spain is to grant to the Cubans
all the rights belonging to o
he Spanish
citizens, with full representation in the
Spanish Cortex.
second—An amnesty as general as pos
sible is to be granted to those who have
participated in the insurrection.
Third—=Spain must take the necessar
ony
steps for the suppression of slavery
the Island, and afford protection to those
released from bondage..
With the acceptance of these proposi
tions the United States on her part will
give assurances to Spain that she wintry
to have peace prevail on the Island.
This would be mediation of the right
stamp, conipromising neither the dignity
of Spain, nor the neutrality of our own
government, and involving not a dollar of
liability upon onr Treasury. Moreover,
the assent of all parties to the programme
would go farther to secure the loyalty
of the island, as a permanent dependency
of Spain, than the most thorough and
bloody repression of the present revolt by
her arms. The propositions faithfully
represent American ideas, are believed to
be acceptable to the discontented
Cubans, and . cover the only practicifi
basis upon which the Spanish Boyer
eignity could be maintained.
In the pledge of onr sincere and active
efforts to secure the ultimate pacification
of the revolted people, lies the only dan
ger for the American Government. The
assurance must mean something or
nothing. The insurrection evidently
leans upon the. American sympathies, in
which its material wants have been sup
plied, and without which it would have
been terminated six months ago. Can onr
Government take, legally, more ffective
measures than it has already, for e cutting
off these supplies? If it can, its pres
ent neutrality may be impeached for
permitting so many extensive ship
ments of men, and material ; if it
cannot, the pledge of further efforts
in the interest of .peace may be an illu
sory one. In• fact, we have probably
done all we can ever do, for the mainte
nance of our neutral faith, and for the re
pression of these hostile irruptions into
the territory of a friendly power, and
we can do no more; except in the way of
"moral suasion" with both parties—
which woint count much, unless they are
equally inclined to peace. -
Nevertheless the three points of the
new proposal are creditable to our (M
a
-
erriment, are deserving of fair consider
tion at Madrid, and are not unlikely to
cover the actual basis of the final settle
ment of the Cuban question.

The other - day the Annexatinn
meeting at Quebec—the first demonstra
tion of public feeling in that direction—
ti
was held, and now one of the most in
tensely British papers in the Dominion,
1
The Toronto Telegraph, comes out
"The more one re ects," says The
Telegraph, "on the s gestive observa
tions of The London S ndard in regard
to the present and pros tive relations of
the British American ,Pvices to the
mother country, the mo r r o e reason there
seems to be for coming to the conclusion
that they are really getting tired of us on
the other aide of the water. They say to
us in a l a nguage which we can hardly
misinterpret : 'lf you can only set , up for
yourselves, we shall be happy to gis the
give all
the assistance in our power.' That
admonition - we received - from Sir John
young in his . Quebec speech. It Is not a
pleasing admonition, because we have
been as faithful to England and to Eng
lish interests as England has been to us
and to our interests. We—speaking for
the people of Canada—also remember how
the sentiment and soul of our people was
stirred up during the Indian mutiny. Our
kindred at the heart of the Empire could
scarcely have felt as we did here. Ten reg
iments could have been raised in a month
in the Province of Upper Canada alone,
to avenge the massacre at Lucknow. We
were more British in that fearful crisis,
than the British themselves. Throughout
the miserable Trent difficulty, out of
which grew the 'Alabama Claims, '
we
adhered to the old gag with a stea dfast-
ness; which, considering our exposed
condition, has, probably, no parallel in
history. In view of all this, it is not
pleasant, certainly, to be told that we are
an incumbrance. It only shows that
communities, like individuals, get old and
get lazy; and that Englana is beginning
to feel that New:, ZealandAustritha, and
Canada, having 'had a liberal nurture for
many years, must now look tor them
selves, and that She be relieved from re
sponsibility. Be it so! If Great Britain
desires to resign her dependencies, she
must be content to resign her Empire.
You cannot eat your cake and have it.
Universal power and universal empire
mean sacrifice—heavy taxation, heavy
burdens on the minds of statesmen, strong
endurance—a pluck which shall not suc
cumb to anything or anybody. Yon are
either, to continue to be a power, and a
tremendous power on the earth, or you
are td revert tothe condition of Venice
or of Holland, and ask younger nations,
like that , founded by Peter the Great, or
Frederick, or Washington, to come to
the front, and take your place. So soon
as the Stars and Stripes are hoisted over
the citadel at Halifax, so soon departs, and
departs forever, the-glory of England.
It is extremely painful for us to be com
pelled to write in this strain, because we
believe that a close and intimate connec
tion with the mother country is our sal
vation from misgovernment. But it is
perfectly clear to any one of commonin
telligence, that within five or ten , years
after we are cut loose from the parent

The Maryland Democrats.
Democratic journals have been, for
some time past, wasting much time and
space in efforts to prove that the Republi
can party is so disorganized that it can
not hold together much longer, that in
fact, the work of disintegration has

sensions in the Democratic party of Mary

an open rupture, are so great as to alarm
the old party leaders, and to threaten the
loss of the State in the ensuing elections.
Within the Democratic organization andf
constituting almost onehalf its strength, is
'
a party known as 'progressive Democrats,
who come very near the recent profession
of faith by Rosecrans, and who are be
ginning to make themselves felt in the

understood in Maryland that one of the
most prominent and trusted Democrats
in the State is but waiting a favorable op
portunity to come4aut in favor of the Fif

that he has a by no means. insignificant

Providing for Ex-Presidents.
A: New Orleans journal deplores the ob-
scurity into which our Presidents fall as
soon as they are out of office, and argues
that it should not be thusly. "By all
means," it declares, "the man who has
one won the supreme honors of a nation
ought to be allowed some shreds of the
mantle to carry with him into private life,
and we, for one journal, would rejoice to
see an amendment to the Constitution
adopted by which our ex-Presidents
in be entitled, during after life, to
seatsn the United States Senate, as Sen•
ators at large," Amendment or no

wages home to his wife, a lovely and
highly reps womark, to whom he had
been married but a year. He afterward
went to Leavenworth, Kansas, where,

The Prince of Wales.
"His Royal Highness Prince Cham
pagne Charlie has an enormous fortune
for an income; but Parliament is to be
asked to nay some of his traveling ex.
penses. He also married a lovely Dan
ish princess a few years ago, and all the .
poets sang in her honor like all the wed
ding chimes pealing togethe.but s
now whispered that 'a lady' of r 'title, who
recently disgraced her family, owes her
ruin to her future king.' That he is fond
of cider cellars, and the songs that are
sung there, and the people that congre
gate there, is also subject of common,
rumor. That he is mentally a dull young
man, of whom no generous word or ac
tion has ever been made public; is not
denied. -He seems to show all the quali.
'ties that are most to be deplored in the
worst of his ahcestors; and a more hu
miliating family for a royal family than
the German kings of England it would
be hard to find. There are many private
gentlemen who already avoid the Prince
as much as they can. It is unpleasant to
have to deal with a man who insists upon
playing at cards for money, carefully
shil
takes all he wins, and never pays a
ling he loses. This is no meaner than his
great uncle Adonis, Prince Regent; but
now all the glamor is gone. The wig is
no longer a halo, but a wig. When you
believe in a Pope it is very well to hear
ot the Holy Father that be commits
crimes as a man, and not as the Pope.
But when yon believe in a Pope no
longer. a cruel and treacherous pontiff is
merely a bad man. Prince Champagne
Charlie's great grandfather, the dull old
George, was as little royal perhaps as
Charlie; but people believed in royalty
then, ad they do not believe in it now.
"While the poverty and suffering of
England increase so rapidly that they
leave the strongest and most painful im
pression of all upon the minds of stran
gers; while the problem of crime becomes
more pressing every day, and there is a
general feeling that the country is moving
before the breath of an undeclared revo
lution; while the House of Lords has but
ut
to take an attitude of opposition to
popular will to hear the universal growl
of displeasure, and the frank declaration
that it exists only by popular sufferance,
it is not to be supposed that the follies of
a Prince Champagne Charlie will be
tolerated bepond a certain point. If the
House of Lords,
how much more does

has very nearlybecome o of e

superstition in Spain.
The London Daily News says : Some
few enlightened individuals are innocent
enough to believe that the days
passed when ordinary human being r s
should be mistaken for sorcerers and wor
ried to death for witchcraft. It is a great
mistake. We know that in many parts
of England the belief in witchcraft flour
ishes among the ignorant people, and we
now hear of an Englishman in Spain
being nearly 'butchered for his supposed
complicity with the Prince of Darkness.
The event took place in a thriving com
mercial town, numbering 20,000 inhabi
tants—Lorca. The peo . ple in this neigh
borhood firmly believe in the existence of
certain wizards—mysterious beings with
pale faces and long ite beards, who,
hunt
hid during the day, hunt at night for
children whom they devour'. The fat ol
the children they are said to keep sacred
ly for two purposes —first, as a sovereign
cure for small-pox; and secondly, to
grease the wires of the electric telegraph,
which is in itself a satanic invention; and
would not work at all were it not' for the
lubricating oil obtained from the bodies of
innocent little children.
"It is natural that the populace, enter
taining these views, should give vent to
their feelings on the first fair opportunity.
This opportunity presented itself in the
appearance of a stranger, utterly un
known, walking one evening towards
the fields, with slow and solemn strides,
his white beard floating in the wind, his
face pale in the moonlight. His presence
was soon rumored abroad. Arm,ed with
stout sticks, the fanatics took him una
wares, craftily surrounded him, belabored
him with their cudgels, and would have
soon beaten the life out of him, when it
was suggested that it would be prudent
to drag his inanimate body to the town,
and obtain official authorization before
proceeding to administer the last' and
fatal blows. With shouts of triumphant
joy the half murdered Englishman was
carried to the seat of justice.
"The local authorities, though they
knew him personally, had great difficulty
in saving him from the Infuriated mob.
But save him they did. Perhaps we
have no right 4o hold up our hands in

are not more ignorant than some of our
own people; but at least we cannot
let the event pass without this formal
record."

A CORBESPOVVEn.,9II.I4e Bad9n Post
writes as follows: -The Empress of Aus
tria is enjoying

longing to the household of the Czarina
has just related to me some interesting
anecdotes of th e Empress Elizabeth,
whom she used to see and conversA3 with
daily, keit year, at the baths of Ilissen
gen. The Empress is averse to a Fiat t
he
alliance from a fear that the
Emperor Nupoleon may prevail on Fran
cis Joseph to depart from the liberal poli
cy of Von Beust. She is naturally joy
ous. But the misfortunes of her bus
'band's relations, the political perturbs.-
dons through which Austria haapassed,
and an intense sympathy with human
suffering have infused into her a passive
strain. She has a keen sense of the
beautiful, and paints and sings like a
poet and an artist. The personal
apptarance of the Empress corres
ponds with her delicate, loving,
high-strung nature. Her tall form is
beautifully molded, her eyes are large
and expressive, and speak often things
which correctly, etiquette forbids her
her tongue to utter. Her complexion is
exquisitely transparent. lam assured by
her Russian admirer that her rich brown
hair sweeps the ground when she lets it
fall over her shoulders to dry in issuing
from the bath. Last year, at Kissengen,
a Jew mistaking her for somebody else;
as she was walking in the environs of the
town, after bathing, offered her a large
salary if she would go with him to Paris
and London, and let him tell his custom
ers that she was in the habit of using
some capillary wash he sells. Bavarian
girls, whatever may be the reason, have
the finest hair in Europe. There is in
the town where the fair Austrian em-,
press passed her childhood the monument
of a girl who died of having too much ofl
it. It is stated in her epitaph that the
nourishment of her body was absorbed by
the capillary vessels, and that her hair in
the short space of ten months grew, on
its being shaved, to the extraordinary
length of three yards."
THE Independent du Centre, of Cler- •
mcnt Ferrand (Puy-de-Dome), contains
an account of a singular occurrence. The '
,
diligence from that town to Bort
. was
three days back ascending a steep hilteide
beyond , Tarves, when it was suddenly
enveloped in two clouds, heavily charged
with' electridty, coming in opposite di
rections, and which met at that point.
Suddenly , a flash was seen, accompanied
by a loud detonation, and thelposti
and the five horses by which the vehicle
was being drawn were all struck dead.
None of the passengers were hurt.
