e @ hicago Daily Tribun L, VOLUMYE 97. CHICAGO, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1873, NUMBER 84. THE OHIOCAGO TRIBUNE. CEHICAGO ~ VEEKLY TRIBURE THE LEADING NEWSPAPER IN | THE NORTHWEST. THE PAPER FOR 105 FARMER, - MECHANIC, MANUFACTURER, HERGHAKT, DANKER, PROFESSIONAL MAK, AND THE FIRESIDE, PROSPECTUS FOR 1874, .“The coming yoar promises to bo the most eventfulin a political senso that we have scon sinco tho close of the'war, The questions which havo engrossed and divided tho public mind during the past twenty .years are rapidly passing away, and we find growing up in different parts of the country a party called by vari- ous ngmes---in Oalifornia tho Indo- pendent party, in Iowa the Anti- Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the Reform party, in Illinois. the Farmors®’ Movement---having a com= mon purpose and inspiration, and exhibiting & strength which proves that it answora one of the chief de- mands of the hour. The CHICAGO TRIBUNE will give a largo share of its attention to this NEW MAN- IFESTATION OF PUBLIC SENTI- MENT. It holds: 1st. That the old party organiza- tions aro ossontinlly corrupt and fraudulent. Having no longer any prineiples to carry into eflect, thoy have become meore business enter- prises, making a show of opposition to ench other, but really sharing in the procceds of profligate and dis- honest legislation. To suppose that any healthful reform can flow from the pretended efforts of these worn- out and demoralized partnerships is altogether vain and illusory. 2d. That the tariff system now in voguse is a cunning devico to rob the many for the benefit of the fow, and that its effect is to csuse farm pro- ducts to oxchange for about one-half the quantity of foreign or ‘¢pro- tected” goods they would otherwise buy. . 8d. That railroads cannot exact more than a fair rate of interest on the capital actuslly invested in them, snd that when, in addition to this, they claim dividends on watered stock and froudulent bonds, the Steto may rightfully interfere for the, protéction of the people ; thatunjust discriminations between different localitios ave in violation of law and should be prohibited. 4th. That 'subsidies or bounties of money, land, or public credit, to .railway, steamship, or other corpo- rations, are flagrant abuses of tho powers of government, fraught with the gravest dangera to the people, end tending to promote corruption, extravagance, speculation, and @Gnancial disaster. The genoral character of THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too well established to need recapitulation. It is always independent and fear~ less in the expression of its views. Inits news department it is second to no paper in the United States, The Weekly Edition contains a care- fully prepared summary of the newsa of the wegk, brought down to the hour of going to press. Literary, political, financial, so- cial, ond agricultursl topics will constitute, as horetofore, leading foatures of the Weekly Edition, and no peins will bo spared to incresse its attractiveness in these depart- ments. Its market reports are un- surpassed, embracing all the infor- mation which farmers require for the intelligent transsction of busi- ness, both as sollers and buyers. THE WEEELY TRIBUNE is a large eight-page sheet, of the same size a8 the Daily Tribune, consisting of fifty-six columns of closely- printed matter, and, as s family newspaper and in its genoral make- up, is unsurpassed by any paper in the land, THE TRIBUNE will be furnished during the ensuing year at the fol- Jowing rates, payable in advance: . .

It was immediatoly resolved to inoronse tho fleat in the Bpanish waters and kosp it on hnod. Mr, Fish wontso far as to drop the romark that tho Spanish Govornment would probably bogratifiedif the United States took the business in hiand of ohastising tho Volunteers, swhom he denouncod as disloyal to their Government, snd as much in o state of revolt ngainst the home suthoritics as the insurgont Cubsns were dis- loyal to the Captain-Goneral. TROM WIHAT HAS LEARED OUT of Tucsday's Oabinet meoting, it is ovident that Gon. Bicldos Lss worked nimself into the full maoagement of the Bpanish question, bo- sng responsiblo for the Iberian Republic, and having arranged to conduct at Madrid all the diplomacy which might arise, Mr. Fish holds that Sickles understands the popular feel- ing of American sympathy for Quba, and shares in it, and will eventunlly obtain an approximate senlization of our wishes, not porhaps by mak- ing Cubn froe, but by giving hor native popula~ tion raprosentation and probably a Oaptalns Genoral who will noutralizo tho vicious Volan- teors with a loyal Qubsn militia, If this is im« practicable, Bickles® dlplomacy may be effective in negotinting amonget the corrupt londors of Bpanish politics & concorslon for the Cubang to TURCHASE THEIL INDEPENDENOE from Spain, tho United Btates guaranteeing the monoy, and proouring it from Cnba by troaty with tho, insurgent Chiofs, Gon. Tarbert, late Oopsul-General at Havana, pressed the in- dopondence of Ouba upon the Administration when ho camo home last summer. Ha asscrted tho lmpossibility of suppressing the revolt, and oxpressod the belief tuat the SPANISH ELEMENT WOULD EMIGEATE rather than submit to be ruled by a Caban ma- jority. Ho showed that the resources of Cuba were unimpaired, and that the island could . pay for itsclt &t the bighest valuation within & few years, and the native plantors get more income than under Spanish official extortion. Torbort was unwill- ing to remain longor op the island, with his avor- sion to Spanish authority. 1F TIE QUESTION OF HUMANITY slone was to be now considored, the United States could probably offset the naval superiori- ty of Spain by moking & joint intervention with England, snd this policy has also been prossed on the, Btate Dopartment as in the 1ine of the present good understanding betweon the two ILnpglish-sposking powers, Hore, howover, comes in the cmbarrassment of Mr, Bickles’ protoge, the Bpanish Republic, which basno more weight with the English Govern- mont, The apprehensions of the English com- morclal classos are also alive to the ¢ DESTINY OF CUPA when Spain mey be forced to surronder hor colonles lying under the influenco of the Unlted States.

New Yon, Nov, 12.—At the Cabinet. meeting yostorday, o Washington correspondent makes the Presidont say that ho hnd read that eighty *Cuban jnsurgonts, who were captured a8 prigon- era of war, had boou shot, and that, while the, :roport lacked confirmation, he was propared to. ear,of its confirmation, sfter what hiad occurred’ in Cuba, He was satisflod that tho Spaulsl Gov- * srnment did not and would not approve of sucly ‘Dutchory. It was n mattor, however, which an - onlightenod nation could not averlook. If, in- * daed, this method of warfare was ncceagary to the sy port of the Spanish Ropublic, individually 1o could not wish auch a Government prosperity. 1If tho Bpanish }maplu, in their offort to cstablish » ropublican. form of governmout, could not control theiv autborities in Cubs, thon, in tho - intorest of humanity, ho thought it timo to in< terforo-—not to encourago tho struggiing Cubans, .nor embarrass the Bpanish Republic in any way, but wholly in tho interost of civilization and humanity. 3 g FROM THE UNITED STATES CONBUL AT IAVANA, WasuinaToN, Nov. 12,—~Recretary Fish recolv- od to-dny a telogram from tho Coniul-Generalat Havang, stating that the Havana papecs publish & statemont, apparontly from an official source, that the Captain of tha Virginius. thirty-six of tho crow, aud sixteon others, were shot on tho 7th and 8th inst. st Soutiago do Cubn.

The ordoer had only boen served upon Jay Cooke, Jay Caoke, Jr., William G. Moorhead, and George 0. Thomas.

Bullitt, Esq. BOME REMARKS DY JUDGE OADWALLADER, Judge Oadwallader, as an individusl and not Judicially, romarked that in a onso liko the prog- ‘ont, and in times of universal financial distross, tho conduct of creditors towards thelr dobtors should be marked with forbearanco and with the npirit of toleranco; thet is, that croditors shonld not urge their right to such an extromo length o8 uttorly to orush_debtors, Buch a’course, in tho opinion of the Judge, would not result in'the seouring of moro of their claims than could Liavo baon secured by s milder course. WANT OF LEGAL BERVICE ON DEFENDANTS. The order. to show cause had not legally been gorved upon the defondants, and, under the cir~ cumstances, he could not at prosent niake an ad- judioation against thom, even if ho were pressed todoso; but ho would. order an adjourned meoting for two weoks honce, and_direct publi> cation of tho order.

The paper pro- pared “by the defoudants for = the ac- coptanco ~ ‘of _ their oreditors was mo doubt prompted by tho desiro to adjust all differencos without recourse to bankruptey. Buch a desire wos Iaudsble, and it was not sur- prising, in the infancy of the Bankrupt law snd in tho absence of any porfeoted system of insol- yeuoy practico, that "dobtors who bacame em- barrassod should be at aloss fora plan of ad- justment outsido of ‘bankruptoy. He decmed the course uug;ivuuw.l by him “the best for this urposo, but of course it was eimply submitted or tho conaidoration of counsel, and it was o subject for earncat doliboration. Whilst - TUE PAPED SUDMITTED DY THE DEFENDANTS to thoir creditors was an impossible courso to ba carriod out under the Iaw, yot he thought it ovincod = spirit and desire on the part of the former to do justico o all, and the honorary injunction under which it placed them would re- strafn them from doing_anything in contraven- tion of jta meaning or derogatory to any credit- or's interest, It was totally outof the question tosuppose that they could sottlo their affaira without the suporvision' of gome such commit- too a8 he had ruggostoed.
