He began his career as @ financier on the Plainfield plan, and sought to close it as a pa- Lopez platform. Well—Moses, after having been chased out of Mexico, returned from Cuba to the United States, a red-hot Cuban patriot. He had taken a survey of the beautiful island, and had probably picked out an estate which would suit him when the istand should be conquered. Ue iuanediately reised the ery of the Liberation of Ca- ba, in counection with some young Cubans who smoked their cigars in Broadway, and visited the Opera oceasionally, when it Wes open.

Such is the histery and origin of this curious yr. We hope it will end in justice to all par- sider y be, and where- ngton. ity, whosoever they or at W More New Facrories 1s tHe Sovra.—The es- ment, in the South, of new factories, is a matter ef almost daily announcement. Wescareely take up a newspeper, that we do not find some ac- count of a new enterprise, in the sh of a large cotton or Weollen factory, staring us fullia the free, and presenting us with the powerful testimoay of the fact, that an intense and energetic competition is now going on with the Northern mana avers. Every railroad that is opened at the South, opens, eleo, many factories. They spring up on the sides of the various lines, and at the termini, wherever nature offers suitable inducements for the energy and skillof man. The consequence will be, that our cold Eastern towns, where hundreds of opera- tives ere killed by consumption every year, will be drained to a considerable extent, to supply the labor for the Southern mills. The girls of New England are new beginning to find that they have better prospects xt the South ; that their wit, intel- hgence, and accomplishments, are appreciated ; that merriage and independence sooner follow a « of virtuous employment, than at the North ; and they are, therefore, wending their way to the more genial atmosphere of oar Southera neigh- bors, in considerable numbers. This spirit, on their part, will inerease, and the Southern mills _ willeoon be considered generally more advanta- geous then thove of the North, Though ageats of New England factories may seour the villages, as they have done for years, to find new victims to by the dying and the dead, they will fail to offer temptations equal to the brilliant prospects afforded by the South, where there is more hospitality, kindaess, respect for worth, end @ smaller population, ia which merit can advance itself, than at the North. The Southern States are rich in every resource Of « houutittul Providence, as well the charms of civilization aud refinement. They have their mines of coal and the useful and precious metals, fields of rice and cotton, a splendid grazing country, fine cheep pasturage, admirable water power, all the elemente of great commercial and manufac: prosperity, ond these will be rapidly tu to account, The weollen factories will inerease the cotton fectories will multiply, and already, the the agente of many of those mills, now established, } » opening up an iatercearse that lt all over the country. are in New Y be soon seriously The questien new which tes most atteation, ath are quiet! rsuing their way, with is that upon the merits of expedition, and the | everything in their favor, and without aay com- legality of the conduct of those who have coatrived | plaint. ‘They yand no tariff. ‘They require it, either here oreisewhere.

Conan Mass Meetine tw tie Park.—The patri- otism of the hour seems inclined for a muss meet ing in the Park, and Wednesday evening has been named. Whether it is to be a mass in honor of the victories won in Cuba, in the Parisian style, we have not learned; but it is said that Moses Y. Beach is to be at the head of the demonstration, and that he will be supported on either hand by the editors of the Sun. It ought to be a very interesting spec- tacle, Be | ed | Avministration or Justicr in: New Yous.-- Somernise Wroxo.—The recent imprisomnent, for a period of eix months, in one of the dungeons of the Tombs, in Centre street, of an innogent citizen of forty years reputable standing ia this community, presents a faet in the administration of justice in this eity, that ean only find a parallel in the records and dungeons of such despotic govern- ments as prevail in Vienna, Madrid, or Constanti- nople. We allude to the incarcerstion of J. Ar lington Bennet, for that period of time, on the charge of forgery, of -which, ou trial, there was no testimony—no evidence of the slightest charseter implicating him in such a erime. It is @ strange and singular anomaly, ina free country, in a republican community, that inno- cence end respectability should have been violated and outraged in way that can only find 2 parallel in the most despotic countries of the olf world. The case of this old man, and his strange imprisonment, are beginning, 48 it onght to do, to awoken the attention of the eemuunity to the ad ministration of justice in this city, and to the men and systems by which it his been maaaged and condveted, On that triel, not the slightest evidence was produced, calevlated to impair the integrity of Mr. Bennet’s characier; and yet, by Sine strange process or other, he has been imprisoned in a dun- geen of the Tombs, for nearly six months, as if he had been @ felon, and only entitled to a felon’s fare. These extraordinary proceedings are caleu- lated, and have already produced a feeling in the minds of many of his friends, both on Long Island in this city, that will break out in some nata- ral and generous testimonial of some description, before many days or weeks have passed away. Indeed, we learn that such iy the sympathy felt in the bosoms of those who know hiui best, that proceedings of a public unture will be resorted to, in order to express their feclings and symp»thy for the sufferings he has borne, and their rejoieings for his eseape from the newurrantable steps that , had been taken to bring n to punishment for | crimes of whieh he was perfectly innocent. | ‘These are, however, matters of pure public sym” pathy, springing up from the natural enormity of his imprisonment, and will pass away us other evaporations of the moment generally do. As one of the organs of public jy nd io reference to the correct and high toue of the adininisteation of the laws, we have deeper and more importaat da- ties to perform, in calling the attention of all those in publie acthority to. these extreerdivary eireum- stances and events, thro which and by which such an outrage could have been committed.as that of the incarceration for six months of an innocent citizen in a free country. In the first pliee, we think it is a duty which Mr. McKeon, the District Atiomey, owes to his important position, to his high character, and to his fid: lity to * Heavea-bora justice,” to investigate this affuir to the fullest ex- ient, and to ascertain by what strange methods and singular duperies he has been made uawillingly the innocent instrument in conducting svch a trial, originating and terminating in such @ Strange way. We are not sure but that a committee of the Com- mon Council ought to be appointed for the purpose of making a strict and searching investigation, not only into this, but all those trials which have orig- inated in certain mysterious proceedings in the at- mosphere of the Tombs. It is very singular, in- deed, that an honorable man of forty years stand- ing should have been incarcerated in a dungeon for the space of six months, without cause or with- out evidence of any reliable kind. This is a plain and palpable fact, and one, with many others, which a committee of the Common Council might act upon and investigate to the bettom. But should Mr. McKeon end his two assistants— David Greham, who seems to lead him, and Mr. | Phillips, who follows after—should theae gentlemen | or any others in the Corporation feel a degree of awkwardness in pursning such inquiry, we trust that Mr. Chatfield, the able and independent | Attorney General of this State, will take the mat- _ ter into his instant consideration, come down to this city, look into the case and its circumstances, and dive a little into the turnings and windings of thas vi or which a free ie innocent citizen of a comer. + ears, could have been incarcerated in a dungeon te six mooths, and only procured his liberty after efiorts trials and labors that would have ken the epirt ef any other man. Let Mr. Coatfield tuke this matter into his serious consideration. It | is time. ‘Tur Sewarp Criqre on Tr Thurlow Weed, in the Evening Journal, has de- nounced Mr. Clay’s compromise, and gives hi firm adhesien to the plan—no plan—of the cabinet because, as he alleges, it is more fevorable to free. coil prineiples than the compromise. This is sig- nificant of the adhesion that may be expected froma the Seward clique of this State, and all free-soilers, cobinet, and the free-soilers among the whigs, aa- derstand each other.
