The United States and Cuba.
Thejatest news from Cuba conies by the steam
ship Crescent City, which v ssel has returned to
New York from Havana. She was permitted to
land her passengers nnd mails, nnd at the same
time the authorities issued an order to the e fleet
that this privilege would not be allowed again if
Purser Smith should be on board. Captain Da
venport replied in writing that the vessel would
return with Smith on board, and that if she was
molested, the Spanish authorities must take the
responsibility. The vessel sails from New York
in a few days an 1 upon reaching Havana a rup
ture is likely to take place, should the offensive
Mr. Smith be on board, and it is s aid he will.
Mr. Smith is the occasion of all the present
difficulties with that island! and it might easily
be questioned, " upon what meat d th this our
Caesar feed that he is crown so great? " He is
becoming quite notorious and bids fair to make
Lis mark upon the age. No doubt "higher hon
ors" are in store for this member of the renown
ed Smith family, who has so far caused so much
confusion between the " Queen of the Antilles''
ami the Uuited States. A monument should
forthwith be built to commemorate his "deeds
of dreadful note," and be the means of handing
down his name for the admiration of future gen"
crations. lie may, however, be " a man more
sinn'd against than sinning." The Cuban au
thorities charge him with conveying information
regarding the revolutionary movements upon the
island to the Filibusteros" in the United States,
find with being the means of communication be
tween the disaffected on the island and their co
operators in New York and New Orleans. The
Spanish officials may be over-punctilious, and
Mr. Smith, may. as he states, have committed no
offence. They believe that lie has, and have
therefore, the right to forbid hi landing, but
none, we believe, to prevent the landing of the
mails and passengers because one obnoxious
person is on hoard the ship. This the authori
ties did do recently, ind it is for this, and not
for the treatment Smith received, that we con
demn them. Mr. Smith acts no doubt, under
instructions from the owners of the vessel, Mess.
George Law and M. 0. Roberts of New York.
Mr. Law has a large number of old muskets
perhaps one hundred thousand, which he pur
chased on speculation from our government at
the time the Kossuth fever raged so violently,
oud this excitement niny be gotten up to enable
liim to dispose of his stock on hand and thereby
put money in his purse. A few days may give
us some important news from the theatre of op
erations, and the muskets may come into requi"
eition eooner thau we anticipate. We hope a
good berth in some regiment will be tendered us
as we are anxious to " serve our country."
Generally, there is a desire on the part of the
peoplo to acquire Cuba, cither through purchas
or eon ywst. New "ir'i sr?iin t j be the place
where the "Filibusters" and "Lone Star sold
iers" most do congregate. That Cubi will ul
timately become part ami parcel of the Union
we well believe, ami we would be satisfied with
her admission as a state, provided the island is
fairly aud honorably obtained. The inhabitants
of our country, not only here but everywhere in
the States, are opposed to all "Filibustering
Expeditions' as in opposition to our laws ; arc
opposed to forcing a war upon Spain unnecessa
rily : and as they constitute the great body of
the Nation, their voices should be heard. The
residents of the cities may bluster and talk and
go to extremes but the "sober second thought'
of the country is against their designs. Tiie
people do not object to acquiring Cuba hy pur
chase, do not object to acquiring it by arms,
provided Spain gives us just provocation and
suiP.cient cause tor war ; but they are opposed!
to thi macninations ot a lew men m the east
who desire to put money in their purses through
the agency of blood.

3Iurcler Case In Pittsburg.
A Mrs. Hester Richardson was tried in Titts
burg, last week for the murder of her stepson, a i
l boy ahout fourteen years of age. A hiadedgun j
had been left in the house ly the husband, and i
the wife, to frighten the boy, pointed the gun at
him and elischarged, unintentionally, the con
tents into his body, killing him. The jury lif
ter being absent in their room forty hours, re
turneel a verdict of xeiT gcii.tw The following
are the concluding remarks of Col. Samuel IF.
Black, counsel for the Defendant, and we have
never read a more eloquent end able production.

say that your alternative is terrible. You must j
find this v.oman guilty of murder, or find that
she should be set free. Between the two points j
there is no place of compromise. If the homi-,1
cide be not murder, it is nothing. She either!
knew, or elid not know that the sun was loadcsl i
with shot. If she knew it, and used the grin
and of the using there is not a doubt, she is
guilty of ns black and blasphemous a murder
03 ''s shocked the world nnd the world's Maker
since the day that Cain killed his brother.
But, if she be not guilty because she did not
know nor had not rougon to know that the gun
was loaded, and this we believe to be the truth,
how wretched is her condition? She has shed
blood without apparent excuse and in ignorance-
In murder, the assassin's demoniac spirit helps '
him. In maiislaniiter the heat of blood ;
some sort softens, the terrible character of kil
ling. In self-defence, the justification of one
preserving himself, makes us believe that the
killing is neither cruel nor wrong.
Right or wrong, we nre beguiled into this be
lief. U'hat hope can she look to, or on what
hope can she lean ? God kneiws she has none
but His whose rod anil staff sustain the poor and
helpless throuo-h the v.-illev of ib.rl.- '...
Blood is on the skirts of her garments, and
though she meant to shed none of it, her unea
sy heart calls on her toaccouit for it ail.
Sleep and she have shaken hands and parted
forever. They will meet again where it is rest
to sleep no more.
lour verdict cannot make her happy; but it
may save her from the extreme of miery. If
ehe knew that crime would follow her conduct,
her condition is awful.
If she did not know, she is entitled to our
sympathy. Be are bound to sufl'er one with
another, and should rather long to be unhnppv
than happy, when misery and destitution sur.

Gentlemen, you have not been submitted to a
secret knowledge of this woman's aony. I
trust that no anguish parallel to hers may ever
be presented to any of yon.
I trust that I may never be called on to look
upon the like again.
If she is guilty, we may all exclaim, looking
" oacucioia ana ashes, "She is fal
len into a pit of ink, so deep, that the wide sea
fc9saropstoJfwturt white nga?n, audi
salt too little, that may season give to her foul
tainted soul."
But she is not guilty ; nnd you will say so.
And, although you cannot lift her up to sweet
repose, you can keep her from sinking into bit
ter despair. You nre not able to tear ftn her
back the tattered sorrows that ban" in rags
about her person : but you can cover them all
tip with the sweet construction God puti upon
the conduct cf his children.
Give her. Oh give her, "Deauty for ashes, the
oil of joy for mourning;" nnd to a weary anil
wasted heart, that has known no apparel but
sackcloth, "The garment of praise for the spirit
of heaviness."
Another Brutal Murder. j
We are again called upon, ns chroniclers of
passing events, to narrate the circumstances at
tendant upon another brut-.I and sickening
homocide. Another victim to the whisky-fiend
has been added to the already swelling 1st of
murders in this pious. God-fearing city of Pitts
burg. We scarcely have patience for the task
of narrating the usual stereotyped formula,
which commences with whiskey, and cula in
death. )
On Thursday evening last a young man lamed
Benjamin Fox, who formerly lived in ?f afford -shire,
England, but has for some time ast been
a resident of this city, started from the house of
George Rowley, in the Fifth Ward bin boarding-house
and in company with another person
went to the tavern of a man named Smtdley,
near the Canal Bridge, where there was a iance
going on. There were fifteen or twenty! men
present, together with several fe nales. , The
deceased, accompanied by his friend, weit up
stairs, for the purpose of enjoying himself by
participating in the festivities which were; jjoing
on. The music attracted a crowd of persdis to
the house, who were very drunk, and disposed
to be quarrelsome. Three or four of them went
in, ami after getting some liquor, went upstairs
to join in the dance. Objections were made to
this bv several of the females, and bv ome of j
the men. A disturbance ensued, which was for
the time terminated by the company calling for
the landlord. In obedience to the suramins, he

as to ultimately cause his death
He was taken
to his home, where he lingered for a few hours
in great agony, and died. Yesterday morning
Coroner Lowry summoned a jury which" procee
ded to the house, of George Rowley, in the Fifth
Wi.rd, for the purpose of bidding an inquest up
on the body of the unfortunate Fox." -A great.
number of witnesses -were examined, whose
testimony we have briefly coiinenseel alrve.
" " . " , . ,
From the evidence of Rowley, the man at whose
, , , .. . , ,
house Fox boarded, we learn that tne deceaseel
iii-.
was a young man of exemplary habits, very m-
,.. , r .
dustrious, and kin 1 and obliging in his bsposi-
tion. He was cry young, and had been in A
nierica, but a short time. He was employed in
McKclvey's Steel Factory, and was note! as a
J skillful mechanic. We believe he has i con
nections in this country. The verdict of the
I
' coroner's Jury was to the effect that Bciijamin
! Fox, the dead man, came to his death from the.

e fleets of blows inflicted upon Ins persim bv
' John Hull, Andrew Jackson Cupples, and r.notl
or person to the iury unknown. Psior fo the

Gutl.rie, where an examination was had. which
resulted in their being finally committed fir tri-

The Llqnor law In Nw Ilnmpahl r
Oplnlou of the Supreme Court Judge.
Concord, N. II., Nov. 25.
The following is the opinion of Judges Bell,
Eastman, Gilchrist nnd Woods, of the Supreme
Court, respecting the unconstitutionaliiy cf the
Liquor Bill :
I. The Bill confers on justices nn extent of
authority the Constitution does not sanction,
particularly in respect to the power it give them
to pronouce sentence of forfeiture of liquors
seized for a violation of the law. '
II. The Bill provides for no trial by jurj', or
for appeal nnd trial by jury before a higher
court. The Constitution provides that in all
controversies concerning property, the parties
have a right to a trial by jurj.
III. The seventh section of the act conflicts
directly with the Constitution of the United
States. This section provi es that no action
can be maintained in any Court in the State,
or county. No law of this State can deprive a
citiien of the United States of the right to en
force a claim of debt before the tribunal of the
this State.
IV. Liquors nre property. The law, in re
cognizing them as such in the fourth section,
when iu the hands cf town authorities for sale
and mechanical use, cannot, by the force of a
few phrases, make property lose its character
when in other custody.
V. Double or increased penalities in cases of
conviction under appeal, because it operates as
a penalty upon the party claiming appeal, con
flicts with his right to an appeal, aud cannot by
supported bj- the Constitution.
VI. The bill is designed by its provisions to de
mand excessive bail, and render it difficult for
t'le recused to pro ui e sureties. If it had b en :u
l-id that the should not have the benefit of coun
sel to defeud him. the parallel between the pre
sent law juid the pracice in Eiig'.;iud in former
days, would have b?en complete.
VII. The convictionof a principal through f'ny
r of one :iie:t, is held tu bu uncon-t tut o;i il.
The accused should lie confronted with the wit
nesses against him, says the Constitn ion ; but
the Liquor Bill savs no, and it is therefore op
posed to the constitutional rights of the citi
zens. VIII. The people have a right to be secured
against all unreasonable search of their dwel
lings, and all such search-warrants must be
under oath, according to tiie Constitution ; but
searches and arrests may be made according to
the bill, without warn nts ou oath, audit is thus
unconstitutional.
In conclusion, the Judges state that some of
the objections nre of the most serious charac
ter. Iirnthof a Mexican Volunl eer.
