Tho captured Cubans paid tho Ludlow street jailer $20 each for a bed. 'Minister Senor Lemus was found at his residence in Brooklyn at a late hour, but declined to recognize the character of the officers who presen'ed the order, and refused to be arrested.. He gAve his parole to appear in the morning at court and answer the oharge. The officers ac? knowledged that they had been well paid to make the arrest at that late hour. It is presumed that it was intended to sub? ject bim to the personal indignity of im? prisonment at an hour when no court was in, session to take cognizance of bail. The verbrsge of tbe bond to keep the peaoe is to be of good behavior towards I the United States, aud refrain from any violation of the neutrality laws or from any breach of the peaoe of the United States for the term of one year. The whole proceeding was-characterized by a degree of ruffianism and brutality un? worthy of the fame that New Yorkers nod Americana hold so dear.

THE VAIJIDITY OP OBLIGATIONS FOR SLAVES-AN IMPORTANT DECISION.-It is well known that tho Supreme Court of Louisiana, iu an elaborately-reasoned judgment, more than a year ago, decreed that obligations founded upon property iu slaves were invalid, in consequence of the abolition of the institution of slavery by the Government of the United States. The Court, therefore, refused to enforce the payment of such obligations. They asserted in their decree Unit slav?ry had never existed by law in tho United States, but that it had been tolerated only. Judge Darell, of the United States Court in this State, thinks differently, and we do not seo how any lawyer could como to the conclusion that a contract, lawful when entered Into, could possibly become nnlawfnl by any subsequent net of the Government. Judgo Durell de? cided, lost week, in favor of the plaintiff in the casu of Walter L. Campbell vs. L. F. Generes, wherein the defendant was sued as indorser on a promissory note, the consideration of which was for the purchase of slaves. Tho defendant pleaded the destruction of tho property by act of the Government. The sum claimed was $6,800, with 8 per cent, in? terest from April 4, 1860, until paid. [JVeut Orleans Bee, June 8.

The' writer is a gen? tleman of education and wealth, and but expresses the views and sentiments of the whole white community-carpet-baggers excepted. He says: ? * * For myself, I am laboring and slaving away as usual;' uot altogether with as much annoyance as, last year, for I have thiugs better systematized. Though I have my reward iu a grand wheat crop und in continually improving plantations, yet I pay a dear price for it ull. I do not complain, and as new diffl colli?!? present themselves I put forth only thc greater effort to overcome them. With my bauds more than full I am now superintendent of this district, in the conservative interest, organizing my lit? tle band of white men to try and elect Walker for Governor, instead of Wells, and ulso to expurgate the odious and diabolical constitution which is to be subinitttcd to ns on the Cth of July. Both of our candidates for Governor aro Republicans. 'Tis a sacrifice of feelings, and almost of self-respect, to vote for either. It is a choice of evils, however, and to defeat Wells we vote for .Walker, aud drop our choice. Withers. Wo aro in great danger of having negro supre? macy in Virgiuia, and aro struggling manfully against all kinds of odds to avert tho dire calamity of having carpet? baggers aud negro officers. Congress aud tho Executive of the United States have done all in thoir power to strengthen their hands, to create a War of the races, to widen the breach already existing be? tween the North and tho South, hud to drive us to separation. On the South side of Virgiuia there is scarcely any hope that wo shall in our local elections have aoy but carpet-baggers and negroes in office. This will be a heavy blow tc all our interests, and though I know ic theeud white men must, rule, it will re? tard immigration, and, consequently, our material interests. We have, you see, a severe ordeal tc pass through. It will iu the end be tin worst thing for tho negioos that could happen. Wo have all the land-they have tho labor. To be prosperous, copi tal and labor must harmonize. If t hey do not, one or the other must give way Capital can do without labor longer that labor without capital; which will gi vt way it is easy to see. Tho negroes wil bo replaced by white laborers, and tuei will como the dawn of our prosperity For myself, believing that present negri supremacy is inevitable, I am shapini my plans to weather the storm as best may. I give now employment to abou forty negro men. I hope, by giving u] the tobacco crop, and by the aid o sheep and all of the improved labor-sav ing implements, to get along by-and-b with about ten, and make more money Those ten I want as far as possible to b white, either reliable home whites o skilled foreigners.

[Leiter io Newark Journal. General Henry Grey, of Bienville, wr subpoenaed to give testimony before th Congressional Committee now sitting i this city to investigate the facts of tl: last election. From what we hear, tl General's testimony was of a very nns: tisfnetory character. He was asked tl causo of the small vote for Gen. Grat in his parish, only two votes being r oeived for tho radical electors. The General answered that, as far i he could learn from the negroes, tho re son they would not come to tho polls nt vote was because the Provost Marshr who came to the parish as a radical o gunizer, had promised, if they wou vote for tho radical ticket in tho Sta election, to give each ono of them for aeres of good land, a mule, plow, ho axe, and set them up in the world. Th promise had not been kept, and, thet fore, tho negroes would not turn out voto for the nominees of the party in tl November election. Question-Who told you this was t reason?

How CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER CASES. If common rumor and nlmost daily news? paper reports can bo believed, it is a warrantable conclusion that an expedi? tion to Cuba leaves onr shores-and often right under tho eyes of the United States officials-on an average, at least, once a week. Now, this may be all right. We do not say it is not. But, when fillibusters (naval) expeditions left English ports to help Southern "rebs," we all know how bad we felt about it and how wo are now insisting upon John Bull, not only to pay, but to apologize for it." Again-it used to "rile" us whon tho English papers spoke of Jeff. Davis as "President Davis." But now-every day we see journals that used to be most indignant thereat, speaking of the Cuban rebel General as "President" C?spedes before the United States Government i has recognized him as a "belligerent," j even. We repent, these things may be all right, we don't say they are not, yet one ! cannot help thinking, how, with some folks, circumstances alter casos. [Neto York Express.

On one oocasion $1,800 were drawn from the bank and on an othor $1,300.

Very few of the men have obtained situations, and after next week no further pecuniary aid will be given them by the society.
