Toe Hew YoiX Herald discharges
oopioua editorials every day upon the
aabjeot of the Virgloius outrage. It has
gone* step by step, from urging a re?
quest for redress on Spain, to the de?
mand which it now makes for the imme?
diate oSanpation of the island of Culm,
and.for an end to tho Spanish autho?
rity there. It hints to the Administra?
tion that if it would aeizo aud ocoopy
Cuba, within tho next ton days Congress
would endorse the act and the American
people would approve it. The grouuda
upon which this extremo1 action nre
urged 'are'tS?Vsarety. of our own terri?
tory, tno protection of our own citizens,
the vindication, pf-our own prinoiplos in
the cause ?l civilization and humanity.
We fail to see the cogenoy of this rea?
soning* Oar territory is in no way en?
dangered by tho recent action of the
Cuban authorities towards the passen?
gers and crew of the Virginias. Our
citizens require no snoh protection as
tho seizure of the property of a friendly
power. How it could protect them, is
far from being plain. As for the vindi?
cation of oar principles, whioh means,
we suppose, that there ahall be a forced
change in the stains of the colored poo
pie on ihh island, and perhaps tho de?
claration of its independence of the
mother, country, we submit that it is
not our affdir. As a war measure, the
liberation of the slaves in the Southern
States was declared and effected. Fol?
lowing this, the .amendments to the
Constitution hare settled the question
of the civil and political rights of the
newly-emancipated people. But to at?
tempt propagandise! pf this policy in
another country, is another and a more
seriouB thing. It is not our business to
dibtata to Spain upon this or any other
matter. Besides, Spain has already
taken ?topa to liberate the people held
in bondage in Cuba in a sensible way.
Whether sensible or not, tho pretension
to carry out dar crude ideas on the sub
jeot is one that cannot be sustained.
Tile talk;.of humanity and civilization
will deceive no one. A National Admi?
nistration .which allows the outrages re?
cently perpetrated in Louisiana to go
unpunished; which ? upholds such a go?
vernment as Kellogg**, in that Stute,
against the clearly expressed opinion of
its people; which supports the corrupt
carpet-bag governments of the South,
has no right to give its aid and counte?
nance to the Oppression of the Cubans
on any such pretext, or to take those
sacred words on its lips. And we will
do it the justice to say, that it ia guilty
of no such hypoorisy. To tho credit of
General Grant, it is said that he expects
a peaceful settlement of the Cuban
troubles. There ia no reason why it
may not be made, except the senseless
clamor of sensationista, and the scorut
suggestions aud bin to of, contractors and
speculators. Spain has avowed her
willingness to make* aU honorable and
satisfactory adjustment of theVirginius
difficulty.' She will i make all proper
apologies, render all proper reparation,
retarn the Virginias,' give up the perpe
damages. What more oould be de?
manded.- in-justice? She insists, fur
th^m^ot^^tegiftf^ol berterritory
shall be Maintained.'; There- is nothing
unreasonable in; this, i Kor would it ap
pear so, but 'or the fuot that Spuiu ia
supposed to be Weak and unablo to pro?
tect ber rights. Bights are all the same,
whether, they belong to weak or strong
powern. Suppose Prussia or Franco ur
Euglund owned Oaba, there would bo a
dearer perception of this troth, and
less insane noise about taking it.
If any power in Europe deserves
especial consideration from us just
now, it ia Spain. She is struggling to
establish a republican government. She
is beset with many difficulties. It does
not become a country professing re?
publican principles to preaa-anotlier to
the wall that is trying to incorporate
them upon hier old-time institutions.
If, in the course of events, Spain should
choose to part with this favored posses?
sion, then it would be a matter of uou
oern to the American*, people that it
should not go into other band?, or bo
in any/way made tributary to a spirit
hostile to our institutions. In good
time, perhaps, Cuba will become a free,
sovereign State. It does not become
the pooplo of the United States to un?
der tako its conquest, or, by uuduo or
unwarranted moans, to uttempt to give
it such shape as will fit it for auuexa-'
tion. The only honorable menus for
the Administration to use is diplomacy
and respectful correspondence with
Spain* bucked, tit coutso, by a good
display of - war'Vessels- id the Gulf. 'If
they fail, stronger arguments should
and will be resorted ,to,.? We do not bo
liove they wili fail; The publio opinion

I The Cnmrtcr of the AnillUry Joint
1 Stock. Company.
We haTodEioticed, among the billa in?
troduced into the Senate, one by Y. J.
P. Owens, Senator from Lauren*, to re?
peal the charter of the State Auxiliary
Joint ' Stock Company. This is uu
organization which was formed lust fail,
and incorporated at tho lust session of
the Legislature. It has been assiduous
in the dutios devolving upon it, work?
ing harmoniously with the parent so?
ciety, and the recent fuir owed much of
its snooesB to its activity. Why it should
be interfered with at this early stage of,
its history aud usefulness, does not
appear. All difficulties between the
State Agricultural and Mechanical So?
ciety and the City Council of Columbia
were settled last year, and have not been
revived. Something else must, there
fore, be the moving cause of this pro?
posed aotion. Tho Legislature which
imposes taxes so freely and bleeds the
landed interests so deeply, ought to
think twice before it interferes with a
sooiety which has for its object the rear?
ing of Block, the encouragement ol
agricultural, mechanical, manufacturing
and mineral industry, and the develop?
ment of the resources of the State, to?
gether with tho promotion of immigra?
tion and the elevation of labor and
laboring people. The real effect upon
the sooiety of the repeal of the charter
might be very different from what is in?
tended. There are no doubt some ad?
vantages to it in holding a charter, but
if withdrawn upon insufficient and
trivial grounds, the popular support
might come to its rescue, and the com?
pensation and approval thns secured
greatly overbalance the effect of its
withdrawal by the Legislature.
It is Btated that the gains against the
Administration in Virginia were largest
in Counties where the colored vote was
large, and smallest where the proportion
of whites is largest. This 000ms to show
that some of the negroes refused to fol?
low the Administration leaders any
longor, and thjt some of tho whites in
dnlged in a very culpable apathy, which,
had it prevailed, would have handed the
State over to Hughos aud bin party.

Mr. Mclntyre, from Speoial Commit?
tee appointed to wait on the Attorney
Geaeral and request his opinion relative
to certain Acts passed at the last session,
submitted au opiuion rfom that olIU er,
that tho provision of the Constitution
on the bubject of inquiry is in the words
following: "If a bill or joint resolution
shall not be returned by the Qoveruor
within three days after it shall have
been presented to bim, Sundays except
od, it shall have the same force and
effrot as if he bad signed it, unless the
General Assembly, by their adjourn?
ment, prevent its return; in which case,
it hhall not have such force and effect,
unless returned within two days after
their meeting." (Article III, Seotion
22, of the Constitution ) That the Qo?
veruor has the right to withhold his ap?
proval of any bill or joint resolution
passed on the last day of the session ol
the General Assembly; and that the
effect thereof would be, that if the same
were not returned witbiu two days after
their next meetiug, such bill or joint re?
solution would have no force or effect.
In his judgment, the present (extra)
session of the General Assembly is auch
a mooting as cornea within tho purview
of the provision above mentioned, and
that a bill or joint resolution preseutod
to the Governor, on the last day of the
last session of the General Assembly,
which has not been returned within two
days after tbo preseut meeting of the

of law.

through force of conviction and the in
