SPIRIT OF TUK LONDON PRESS ON THE CUBAN
qOBSTTOH AB CONNECTED WITH TBS UNITED
BTATEB. '
LONDON, September 17*!-The Telegraph baa
aa odi tor i al to-day ou the, relation existing be?
tween Spain and tho Uu'tcd 8t atos, wherein it
says: "The r?cognition ot tho Cubans would
placo Washington in the wrong on tbe Alabama
question. With what con sis tea oy can rights
bo granted wandering guerillas; not form i du?
bio enough for a blockade? If England desired
to put tbe accusers of ber.polioy out of court,
she should encourage the policy ascribed to
Pr?sident Grant. Wc prefer to take the ques?
tion on tho broad grounds or common in tores ts.
Vi ar between Spain and Amer i OB would be a
material injury that would bo equally appor?
tioned. Tho chipping of tho litter would bo a
prey to privateers, and her commerce, with its
profite, would pass to neutrals. The reduction
of the national debt would be arrested, inter?
nal reorganiza ion o h BO ked, and public dis?
content would revive with the growing bur?
dens. Spain would lose Cuba, but would con?
tinue Bpain with ber obstinate tenacity of re?
sistance, her-great undeveloped resources, her
power to attack American trade, and her com?
parativo invulnerability to retaliation. America
would gain at a heavy cost wbioh might for
years be moro a loss than a gain; would be en?
tangled in a war combining a maximum of
cost and a mimimum of glory. Bu :h conside?
rations emu ot pass unregarded at Washing?
ton, since there is still ground for tho hope
that poaoo moy bo preserved."
Tbe Examiner, on the subject of Spain and
Cuba, bas tbs following: "By the history of
analogy, tbero ls no longer a physical impedi?
ment to . the representation of Cuba in the
Spanish Cortes. Expediency recommends it,
but for Cuba it iB not too late. If not sold or
surrendered, her own inhabitant? must, in
?orno form, be mortgaged to the Americana,
with the certainty that once in pawn, sba will
eventually become theirs. It is better for
Cuba that this should bc so, and it ia belter,
perhaps, lor Spain."
Tho Times bas an editorial on Sickles* note to
the Spanish Government on tho Cuban ques?
tion, wherein it says : "It was generally be?
lieved President Grant would not interfere or
allow interference, on the Cuban question until
Congress could vote upon it. Is be less reso?
lute than formerly, or bas pressure forced bim
to sanction demands upon Spain for the ubau
donment of Cuba ? No doubt tho alternative
offered Spain is her abandonment of the is?
land, or American recognition of tho insur?
gents. Tbo probabilities are that we are on
Ibo eve of serious ovents. The struggle will
be hopeless eo far as Spain ia concerned, but
the government cannot retist tho impulses of
tbe people. The name of Spanish prido is
fast kindling, and tho government in striving
to cheek it will be extinguished. In tbe must
tranquil provincos ot Spain come offers of men
and arms, in order that regular troops may
go to Cuba. The aggressive policy of tho
United States cannot be justified by the at?
titude: of Spain towards Cuba. It is not a
question, of slavery, for the abolition of slavery
has already boen decided upon-not a detenni
natioh' of Spoin to resist the demands of tho
Cubans, for ? negotiations have been opened
to allow a severance of the island. Betting
aside the question whether tho means to eet
Cuba free ia fair to Spain, it ie doubtful if a
war ot races might not ensue if the Insurrec?
tion ia not Mrtiugiiished before tho cession of
the island. Under Uu> present or it ?cal circum?
stances the Cortes, on reoWembling, will have
to turn their whole though ta. and attention to
the difficulties and dangers of Cuba."

as above stated :
Dear Sir-Tho earnest philanthropy of your
character induces UB to prefer making the fol?
lowing representation to you personally, in?
stead ot convoying them to you through tho
distinguished gentlemen whom yon hav? ap?
pointed agonis of your beneficence.
Although you have intrusted the expenditure
of this Bum to these trustees, BO high ?B your
character tor prudence and judgment, that wo
are certain ivny advice (rom you as to its dis?
posal will be all powerful with tbem.
The present state of that section of your na?
tivo country in which we live, ia in every re?
spect dis tree aing; but there is one clroum
8 ton ce which deserves especially to employ tho
kindly.brain and Land of tho philanthropist
we refer to the condition of the womon of the
South. Until the late war we had never been
compelled, owing to tho form bf society under
winch we were bom end reared, to labor for
our own support. Affluence ,;?? tb A m?o, ?^.v.
erty the exception. Daring tba war, when it
became necessary for us to exert ourselves in
the moat arduoi2 ind unaccustomed duties,
our conduct proved that we lacked neither the
will nor the ability to labor perseveringly, and
to bear with fortitude every burden which it
Eleased God to lay upon us. The i eau o of the war
as deprived thousands of us of our only moans
ot support. ' Harder td bear than this, its terri?
ble vicissitudes of slaughter and disease bave
taken away from many of us the strong arms
and bravo hearts of those who would havo
counted it all joy to labor for us.
Wo do not complain of this; we yield to tho
will of Him "who doeth all things well," and
"who doth not willingly afflict the children of
men." We do not ask for any help except the [
opportunity to help ourselves. Owing to the
former condition of society in the South, there
aro only two occupations open to ns- teaching
and Bowing. Por tbs former parsnlt m any or
DB are unfit either from temperament or from
not having boen educated expressly for this
occupation. The latter employment ls so se?
dentary that many of na have not strength
and health to enable us to pursue it. However,
in spite of these hindrances, so many' of us
have been compelled to engage io these pur?
suits, that the .remuneration which they afford
bas necessarily become, as a general rule, piti?
fully small, owing to tbe great competition io
both.
We believe that a portion of your noble gift
could in no possible way be so useful to our
impoverished section aa by employing: it in the
establishment of an institution whose whole
design should be ta opec new fields'of labor to
the women of tho South, and to flt thom to cul?
tiva to those with ability. Huch an institution/
when once established, could easily be'made,
in great part, self-supporting by two me&snrea:
First, by allowing all household work to be
performed by the inmates. Second, by lotting
the employments which are taught be of such
a nature that many of them shall bo remunera?
tive to the school, even while the pupils are
learning them. - ? -
!.- I'heso rules would'.also have the d?sirable
effect o? making tho fees for ut tendance very
small. it? '...
?'he employments which could and should be
ght ip. auch a place are numberless. We
will omimorate a-few, to give yon a more dis?
tinct idea of what we propose: ,.,
Prhitmg; fer example, would be "Veri suita?
ble, and might bo made quito profitable by un?
dertaking to do job work for persons desirous
of aiding in thia manner the plan, of tbe insti?
tution.
Wood engraving is also an occupation for
which women are peculiarly well fitted.
. The lighter sorts of wood OarViatf required
for the moreMelicato ornamental work of the
cabinet-maker con lu be taught with advan?
tage.
There is a great deal of r jngh painting done,
snob as that on. signs, window shades and
theatrical scenery, which tequires littlo or DO
natural talent, and contd be learned by any
one.
If any of those who were learning wood
carving or scene painting happened to bo Kilt?
ed with real artistlo talent, it would manliest
itself in these pursuit?. Suoh papila could
thon bo separated from thereat, and thorough?
ly trained es painters and sculptors. .
Gardening, bookkeeping, telegraph operating,
and many other HUI tablo occupation a will readi?
ly auggeat themselves to your mind.
If you decide to advise that a portion of your
gift be employed for this purpose, it would be
well to promise that the institution should bo
situated in that one of the Southern gutes
which could pledge itself to contribute moat
largely to its endowment, either, by gilts of
monoy or of public lands. Tben it should bo
placed in that county of tba chosou State
whiob could give tho largest additional
amount. <
Even if very few could.be trained in this
school, great good would be done; for each
pupil, returning tp her native town, would con?
voy to its inhabitants the germs of entirely
new ideas. She would- oarry to many fainting
hearts the good tidings that, their lot is not so.
hopeless as it eoems-that they may yet be
saved, both from the scanty support of iil-paid
and exhausting labor, and from the humili?
ation of eating tho bitter bread of dependence.
ID conclusion, we would express to you,in

bow aptly the term applies to lt now. ?
There was BOIT.O talk in Con g roas last winter
about purchasing a park on the northwestern
boundary of tble city, and erecting what Waa
called a "suitable mansion for tho Executive.''
H poe ol a. tore -amongst thom several sonators
and one or two generals of tho array-immedi?
ately ooDoluded that this would be done, and,
accordingly the price of unimproved roa) prop?
erty in that neighborhood went up ono hun?

however, when Coligress adjourned without
obliging them by ordering tho removal of tho
White House, and their subsequent agony
over tho demand of the Mississippi Valley fer
tho t muster of tho Federal Capital to St. Louis.
A convention, I believe, baa boen called to
meet in that city for tho pui-poao of facilitating
the movement and preparing the way. Bo
that Carl Schurz will havo nothing to do next
winier but to iniroduoo a joint resolution pro?
viding for the romoval of tbe aoat of govern?
ment to bis own headquarters. This is the
programme, and, judging from tho tumble io
real eatato, there aro peoplo in Washington to?
day who believe it will bo faithfully and
speedily carried ont. Our city proas already
sentis up a feeble cry against it, and onr real
catate mon tremble when they bear tho proba?
bilities of romoval discussed on tho street
corners. Ever sinco Pierrcpout (tbo assistant
?prosecutor in tbe Burran case) told tbe jury
that unless they convicted tiurralt Congress
would avengo the insult to tbo ''loyal" peoplo
by removing the oapital, tbore bas been a feel-,
log of uneasiness and apprehension pervading
' the minde of Washington roal estato specula?
tors; and ibis recalls thc faot that one of the
most prominent of this class was foreman ot
the burran jury, and he waa for conviction,
although tbe testimony was strongly in favor
ot thc innocence of tbo accusod. Jins "back?
ing" aud "filUng" process on tbe part of the
interested residents of Washington nerves no
purpose, and will not arrest the removal of the
scat ol Federal Government wbunovor lt may
bo personalty beneficial to onr Yankee mem?
bers of Congress to order such romoval. They
have no senso of right aud justice-no regard
[ for tho burdons of tho people, and especially
nono for tho permanent i uh ali tauts of tbo Dis?
trict of Columbia, wbom they charge with
"disloyalty," fcc, ??c., because some ol them
dared to vote against negro suffrage, and to
opposo "carpet-bag" and negro domination in
the city government. Tbe Federal Capital waa
located nero by the mon who framed the con?
stitution, and, like that instrument, was doubt
leas intended to last aa long as tho country re?
maped a republio; but as our organfo law bas
boen substantially overthrown, BO can the
BEJiio parricidal Bands overthrow the perma?
nent seat; of.government, imd ?tey tcouid do it
ero the expiration of the current year if it were
possible to agree upon a new location. What
would it matter to tbe men who have piled up
a debt of $2,700.000,000 if $100.000,000, addi?
tional, were vuitd to erect new buildings mr
government In the valley of the MlBsiBsipl or
elsewhere? Perhaps the Stat? of Missouri
might agree to issuo bonds for the required
amount. Where, then, would bo the objec?
tion to removal? . The District of Colombia
lies on the border of Maryland: ita native c i ti?
zona sympathise wilb those of Maryland, and
Maryland is largely D?mocratie. St. Louie 1B
within the State of Missouri, and Missouri ia
controlled' by a Radical minority. This fact
alone ls enough for the Bchenoka and Logans,
to say nothing of tho "Grand Army of the Be .
publie," and all tho thieves and lobbyists who
would profit by the removal.' It ls of no sort
of use' for citizens of Washington to disoues
th? question and hang around the doora of
Congress with certificates of "loyalty" in their
pockets. Tbe Yankee jobb3rs and speculators
who hold high carnival in that building will
vote to remove the seat of government whou
evsr they believe it waUlM personally beneficial
to them, and not before. Tbs wanta and
wishes of this community trill not be consid?
ered. Tbe proximity of Mount Vernon and
the sacred name of WAsmnoToii will have no
weight: and even the bones of thirty thousand
Federal soldiers, buried around thia city,
cannot form a chain strong enough to hold the
capital lo its present site, whenever Yankee in?
terest may demand its.romoval. ' For the pres?
ent I see no necessity for any anxiety on the
subject amongst tbe citizens of Washington.
Lohg before new buildings oonld be erected at
some, other point, tbe existing dynasty will
bave been swept away, and tho TiseloBS expon*
di i ure of wo venty-h ve or ono hundred millions
of dollars will ho avoided. .,.
The eatlmated value of government property
in and around this city is $60.000 000: and, in ?
tho opinion of oompo tout ar obi teeto, lt would'
require at loaat $40,000,000 mote to purohaao
the samo amount of property at any other

ing tbe opinion of tho court, after argument,
said: . . . "The plaintiff la error of

and although the judgment against him was fqr

The Judge then proceeds to ceuaidor thia
question, and Lav ?OR shown that tbtao "harbor I

tho constitution had it ?onferred cn Congress

"Ibo tax is substantially a duty, notwith?

"Tho Supremo Court of tho United States, at
its December term, 1807, in a case brought bo?
tero it by writ of error to the Supremo Court
of Louisiana, decided that a Btatute ot a State

port within it should bo entitled to demand
and receive, in addition to other fe ts, tho sum
of ti vu dollars, whether called on to perform
any BO. vice or not, for every vessel 'arriving at
that port, is a regulation of cominorco with?
in the meaning of tho constitution! and also a
dutv on tonnage, and is unconstitutional and
void."-(See 6 Wallace's Reports, 81J
In delivering the opinion of the '.ourt, Chief
Justice Chase said: "That the act o' the L?gis?
lature of Louisiana is a, regulation of commerce
can hardly bo doubted, lt imposoi a tax upon
every ship entering the port of Now Orleans,
to be collected upon every entry. In tho caso. |
of a steamer plying between that port and
ports in adjoining Slates of Alabama and
Texas, it becomes a serious burden, and works
the very mischief against which the consti?

over Louis Napoleon's &h?ulders thus: "Exces?

ed to bo ovor; but telegrams passed slmost
every hour of'the- day. between tbe palace of
St. Cloud and the anxious j Wavell ers, whoso
minds were doubtless filled with the most
harrowing emotions. Tba exact nature of
the "Emperor's malady is kept so carefully
oonoealed, ?hat it is really difficult to
give any precise information about it; but
one thing is certain, that be is Buffering from
a chronlo affection that is stoadUy growing
worse with every new attaok. Tho milady,
which ls said to be diaoasoof the bladder and
adjacent organs, ia very slmi tar to that wblob
so recently carried off the Mini a ter of War,
Marshal Niol. Tho weakness of bis majesty,
and his state of nervous irritability, doubtless
tends to a.gravato his disease. On a former
OOCaajop, tho Emperor, having cilloi in a wei 1
knoton h o moo path lo prao ti Honor, told bimi "I
cannot afford to bs ill; l{ is necessary that I
should be setup again ar thc rlBk of a relapse.'*
His majesty wantett on that occasion to attend
a very important cabinet council. It will be
understood tbat this impatience and-his pre?
occupations render the Emperor's oondition
far more serious, and it is alleged thal daring
the late crisis bis majesty several times cou
templated the advisability of an abdication. 1'

To the Peoplt of South Carolina:
The above Company was organized In 18CC, In
consequence of tho wholesale forfeiture of Southern
policies by Northern companies. The unparjlluled
success of the enterprise has forced several of theso
companies lo rcaloru their Sout'icrn policies, from
the fact that they could not operate in our midst
without the appearance of honesty.
We keep all our money at home to balld up our
Impoverished country-every dollar of premium
being safely invested iu the alelo ir..tu which it IB de
; rived. The institution ispuicly Southern, and hence
should appeal with great force to the patrioiisui and
and sympathy of every Southern heart.
'Tia not our purpose to make war on other com?
panies, bat to exhibit the special advantages offered
by this purely Southern Company-founded on
patriotism and solid wealth. Its ratio of assets to
liabilities-tho true teat of a company's strength-la
second to none on thia continent, being nearly $300
to 8100.
Whenever and wherever wc bavo presented thc
claims of this Company, it bas not only enlisted thc
sympathise of our people, but baa alao secured theil
htai-ty co-operation. We bavo recured COO policiot
