THE LEADING NEVSPAPER IN THE NORTAVEST THE PAPER FOR THE FARMER, MECHANIC, MANUFACTURER, MERCHANT, BANKER, PROFESSIONAL MAN, AND THE FIRESIDE. PROSPECTUS FOR 1874. The coming yesr promises to bo the most eventfulin o political sense hat we have soen since the close of the war. Thoe questions which have engroesed and divided tho public mind during tho past twenty years ere rapidly passing awny, ond we find growing up in difforent parts of the country & party called by vari- ous names---in California the Inde- pendont party, in Iowa the Anti- Monopoly party, in ‘Wisconsin the Reform party, in Illinois the Farmors’ Movement---having & com- mon purpose and inspiration, snd exhibiting a strength which proves that it answors ono of the chiof de- mands of tho hour, The CHICAGO TRIBUNE will give a large share of its attention to this NEW MAN- IFESTATION OF PUBLIC SENTI- MENT. Itholds: | 1st. That the old party organiza- tions are ossentially corrupt and fraudulont. Hoving no longor any principles to carry into offoct, they have bocome mere business enter- prises, making a chow of opposition to each other, but really sharing in the proceeds of profligate and dis- honest legislation. To suppose that eny healthful reform can flow from .the pretended efforts of these worn- out and demoralized partmerships is altogether vain and illusory. 2d. That the tariff system now in vogue is a cunning device to rob the many for the benefit of the few, and that its effect is to cause farm pro- duets to exchange for about one-hslf the quantity of foreign- or ‘‘pro- tected” goods they would otherwise buy. 8d. That railroads cannot exact more than o fair rate of interest on the capital actually invested in them, snd thet when, in addition to this, they claim dividends on watered stock and fraudulent bonds, the State may rightfully intorfore for the protection of the people ; thatunjust discriminations between different localities are in violation of law and ghould be prohibited. 4tn, That subsidies or bounties of DRESS GOODS, &a: PANIC PRICES | CARSON, PIRIE & CO.

SECOND DESPAT’up, specual Dispatch o The CH eago Tribune, WAsuiNGToN, D, 0., Nov. 2°4,—Tne Republican, Administration orgst wil{ to.morrow contain the following, which is th ¢ Administration stato- mont of the situation ¢,f Quban affars up to this hvour': The Govorrimont has reason to con= gratulata itsolf upor, tho aspoct of the prosent cond'ftion of its ne gotintions with Spain, Itwill De remembored, ‘that ag soop as the first infor- mat’ion of the Yantingo slaughtor was roceivod ho Govorarent instructod Minister Bicklos to coavey ils, protost to the Madrid nuthoritios in this must empbntic manner against the out- 13go, and that subsequently & demaud for ro- clamation suflicient o repair the injury inflicted upon the victims of tho slaughter aud atono for tho ineult to our flag, was submitted to the samo authoritics, Tho rosult of this prompt action was tho transmiseion of an order from tho Bindrid Government to tho Havana authoritios TO SUSPEND FURTUER EXECUTIONS uutil moro entisfactory investigation could be had. Tho effect of this order was to prevent any addition butcheries, after it had beon roceived by Gov. Burriel. TEp United Biates Govern- mont iy, thamtmre, @pitled to tho credit of having savad, by iia prexupé iniervention, many jmporiled lives of membors of tho unfortu- nato crow of tho Virginius, Groat crodit ia also due to Minister Bickles for this result, as it ig known tha ho had taken tho initiative stops ‘beforo the recefpt of special instructions from our Stato Dopartmont 'to socure it. Tho dispotchos, official and_ othoriviso, con- clumvely prove thaf it " tho Governmont bad not intervemed, tho majority of tho romainder of thoe crew would bave beon sac- rificod. DBurriel's submiesion to tho Spanish Government is alreandy made apparent beyond the possibility of contradiction, Tho Spanish Government {8, thoroforo, eutitlod, 8o far as this submission is coucerned, to whatover credit mey acerus from the fact that it ~ oftcctively . and promptly responded in a favora ble manuor to our first domand in the promises, If its commands had Leen disobeyed the case would have presented a different aspect, but as it is, wo are compelled to accopt tho facl of Burriel's obedience thereto as proof of the LONEST INTENTION OF TILE OASTELAR GOVEAN- MENT to have a antisfactory and honorablo sottlernent of the dificulty. No doubt exists thatan im- porativo nacossity for action on tho part of our Government of 6 most aggressive and unpleas- ant kind to proteot jts citizons has beon ro- nioved by this new and favorable feature of the case. ' AT THE OADINET MEETING yostorday, which lastod four and a half hours, the official dispatches aubmitted confirmed tho beliof that thore isno moro reason to abandan the idos of attaloing o just conclusion now than thero was yosterday. ‘Thie vousationsl tales now 8o rife may have » fomporary offect, but tho faots romain ns they were when we announced the iro- colpt of ofticial informatlon that the Spanish Cabimet isunanimously in favor of A BATIBFAGTORY AND FIONORABLE SETTLEMEN!C of tho Virgiuius difticulty, but regard the main- tousuce of the integrity of B;imniqh ter- ritory ns _ossentinl. When i mun- dorstood that no mew dovelopments havo occurred since this announcoment 1was mede, excopt thoso mgmmli: tho obedionce by Burrie! of tho commands of his Home Govam- Taent, which,—as o says, must Lo accepted: a8 favorable indications of the honest purpose of that Government to doal justly,—it will at otco appoar that THE GITUATION promises favorable, if uot Pummlul, rosults. Tho Governmont will, novertheless, continuo its preparations, {n anticipation of unfavorabls ro- sults, 1t is now almost certain that dolayn will ocaur to suoh an extent that tho case will naces~ parily be presentsd to Congross in an incompleto “condition. These s the rosult of tha ioterruption of tho tolographic communioation betwoen Havana and Bantisgo do Cubw, and other u?px— Tont ronsons, among which ia the imporsibllity that oithor Govoramont will bo abla to possoss itsalf of all the necossary faota before that time. For theso rensons tho Government will nob inslst upou its original intontion to de- mand an immediste ultimatum. It will, novertheless, uso its utmost ondeavor to closo tha caso ne 600N ak & reasonablo possibility will ‘admit. Iu view of tho conduot of tho Castolar Government thus far, it is not expacted that a requeat will bo mado for unreasonable dn)l{l. 1t {s theratore to bo Loped thot the difticulty will REACIT AN AMIGAULE ADJUSTMENT in time to satisfy the desire of our people for Toparation, and at the same timo not to do o~ Jenco to Lhe apparent nooesslty for more dofuita information thun is now in our posacssion.

THE OADINET BESSION was ihe longest over held umder President Grant's Administration, Upon adjowrnment it ws remarked that the moeting had boen ono of 1bo most important ever held, a membor atating that the whole timo had been ocoupied upon the Virginius mattor snd ita attending complications.
