2 :' THE LATE GUBAN CONSPIRACY. ——eee he Last Moments and Execution of Den Ramen Pinto by the Garrote. @UR HAVANA OORRESPONDENCE, Havana, March 21, 1865. ‘Tris morning at an early hour it was generally wemeored throxghout the city that Den Ramon Pinto, who has deen looked upon as the leader of the recent eonspiracy te assassinate Concha, the Govereor General ef the Islaxd of Cuba, would be garroted at the expira- ‘tien of the current twenty feur hours. During the fore- neon this ramer was inceptively confirmed by the Don’s gemove from the Fuerte del Punta, at the mouth of ‘he burbor, in which he had beom conflaed, to the neigibouring prison, called the Carcel de Tacen, Shortly atta his arrival there, this victim to misguided political esbasiasm ooepupied himself in drawing up his will, ead as he anticipated numerous applications would be made to visit him, by friends interested in his fate, he bad previously requested that none but the members of ‘his family should be admitted to him. While engaged im arranging the last legal document pertaining to his sapidly closing hours, the prison authorities were simul- tancously sceupied in preparing their instrament—legal or ilegal—which at te-morrow’s dawn will remove from Bmited time to illimited eternity another political wastyr—or traitor—according to the respective stand. azde by which he may be judged. Treason never prospers! What's the reason? When it prospers, none dare call it treason ! ‘he sight of the garrote in the courtyard of the prison, ayever and anon the gates opened in answer to each ex- ‘rma! summons from Don Ramon Pinto’s friends, must fave acted as a painfully suggestive climax to their in- eHlectnal efforts to obtain permission to see hin. During the afternoon he was pat in capella, as it is ‘termed here—that is, he was removed from his cell to ‘the chapel, where he will have to pass twelve hours of ‘the remainder of that brief period which is to precede ‘Is execution, guarded by two soldiers, and comtoled by & priest—consoled, if indeed this man of Catalonian ori- gin oan derive solace trom that church of which he was enee a member, but broke his priestly vows, married, ‘@ame to Cuba, conspired, failed, and to-morrow dies | Iet us now turn from the prisoner, and observe what wither aspects are presented by this “dernier jour d’un eondamné.”” Evening has stolen more rapidly than usual o'er this fair isle, where twilight is scarcely known; Sor although during many weeks past the sky has main- tained its warm, southern clearness, at sundown heavy ‘Diask clouds have spread thickly over the city, while ‘the lightning, flashing at intervals, would seem to por- ‘tend that nature had designed a stormy overture to the ‘Morrow's performance. In the palm shaded avenues ‘hat bound the public drives along the Prado, mixed groups of Cuban creoles and of Spaniards from the mo- ‘Wher country, are discussing, with ‘bated breath,” the fest approaching event. Their sotéovoce tones render it @ifieult for one but slightly versed in their language to eateh more than the general tenor of their arguments, which seems to be that the community will benefit by the expiation of the individual, and that a wise policy is whown in selecting the leader enty for a victim, and in deporting his accomplices to the Philippines—a course which, 1 is said, will be adopted, Further, these swar- thy sons of Spain speak of Estrampes, recently tried for smaggling arms into the Island, as soon to follow Pinto ‘te abe garrote, and from thence to tne Campo Santa, where the remains ef Lopez le mouldering; and again, that Felix, who, fortunately for his vertebra, is now be- Aeved to be more of a thigk- headed tool than a culpable aceomplice, will be pardened ultimately. Quitting these groups of Cuban politicians, who had begun to discuss the long-talked of and ulmost wornout topie of filibustering expeditions to, selze “the brightest jewel of Hispania’s crown,’’ I descended’to the city, to ‘the Plaza de Armes, fronting the Governor General’s palace. It is ow past eight o'clock, but although tho band of the Voluntarios bas already commenced its cuse tomary evening performances, there is an unusuaily Bmited pumber of persons assembled about the paved ‘walks of the garden-decked Plaza, There are alvo but few of the many beauty laden volantes that nightly @rowd the quadrangle at this hour, that the fair occu- pants may flirt and listen to the music by turas, Even ‘these few appear to belong to suburban residents, who have possibly only learned on their arrival the direful deed to-morrow wiildawn upon. The promenaders ap- pear to be chiefly the visiters to the island, for here also ‘the Panama-hatted and white-attired denizens of Hava- ma are gathered together in small groups to disc 1#3 the aD-sbsorbing topic. Scarcely has the illuminated clock which crowns General Concha’s residence marked aM past eight, when suddenly the groups converge to- wards the entrance to the palace. A rumor is quickly spread over the Plaza that Donna Ramon Pinto has just Grove up to the portals. I was so fortunate as to seo heer alight from that rarity in this city, a foar-wheeled earriage. The Donna, who is said to be a Spanish creole of New Orleans, is of the middle stature, and presente that sppearance of embonpoint almost universally met with in her countrywomen on arriving at her age, which might be estimated at “some forty summsrs.”? Tt wasn easy to observe, by the strong light inte which whe descended on leaving the carriage, that over its matural dignity and composure, her countenance ‘wore un unwonted air of sadness, She was accompanied Dy her dnughter, a tall and gracefully formed young girl, apparently about eighteen years old, and whose featu: were impressed with a pensive air, ill dtting oue in the of youth. Beth were dressed in black, and thoagh wore the mantilla, they seemed not to care about goncealing their countenances, an‘! possibly they might have heped the better to enlist the sympathies of tne spectators by revealing themse! They were accom. nied by another lady, anda gentleman in @ volante. hen the latter had alighted, Le conducted the Domna Bamon Pinto up to the entrance hall, her daughter aud ‘the other lady following them. .As the spectators were kept back by the sentivels on duty, I can only surmi what passed. The gentieman held a parley of some ten minutes’ duration with the Intendavt and two or three @ther of the palace officials, but it was ident the Denna’ saplieaten for an aadience of General Concha was refui She then banded to the gentleman a paper ell, doubdtless her husband’s petition for mercy. The Intendant appeared likewise to decline rece:ving thia, for, as the party retraced their steps to get in’o the car- #, one of the ladies still held it im ner hand. The benns’s carriage, almost wholly sarrounded by the crowd, drew up at the spot where I stood. As her @eughter advanced to seat herself her head was bowed , and what could be seenof her features wore an Sageet af vacant despair. The mother’s countenance acemed firm, her ips were compressed, and her eyes flashed, as ’tis said, none can but a» Spanish wo man’s, The gentleman, as he handed the Donna into her carrisge, said something, of which | only caught the ‘words corage and esperanza. She, howerer, to. whom ‘these words were addressed, seemed to know they were spohen vainly, for as she toek her seat, big tear drops fell fast frem her large black eyes. Not often have I witmesred the flow of tears that has caused such a shad- brill to pass over me as that I experienced from these shed by this devoted woman—thovgh to me a stranger—whben ebe found her last eflort to save her hus- ‘band had failed. ‘The vehicles drove off, and the military band, which by eome fortuitous aad delicate intervention, bad atop- Pe playing, again commenced its enlivening strains. the ratiling of the curriage wheels ceased to be heard, long before Donna Ramon Pinto’s tears couli have ‘eased (0 flow, the Plaza resounded with one of Strauss’s gerent waltves | The company generaily did not appear lisponed vo listen to this ‘mockery of buman woe.” Many retized to the Dominica and Diana cafés, wher, towards 10 e’clock, it was rumored that after all the Len would be pardoved at the place of execution.

The very fact that we have been singled out and fettered in the enjoyment of religions immunities, by civil enactments, will, in all probability, excite that aympathy which 18 natural to the Americén breast in favor of who | suffer under the reality, or even under the appearance of persecution, whether that persecution be legal or not. It will have the effect to brace many who have hitherto been lukewarm Catholics, to « bigher, & deeper, and a holier appreciation of that religion which is thought to require civil enactments for the crippling of its progress. It will withdrew many from the too ardent pursuit of political end: cal objects, by which their minds were led wasted on’ mere transitory and temporal conce} will insinuate ts Catholics that in the mind of their fel- low-cittens they, because of their religion, are hardl jualified to take part in the political strifes by whic! the country is perpetually sgitated, And the more they withdraw from such agitations, whether by their own choice or by such legislative rebukes as the enactment ‘under consideration contemplates, the more their hearts and minds will turn to other considerations affectin; that the church property under their management was still in debt, toan amount more than its entire value, Thus it was ascertained that, except in the mere use of the edifices for ious purposes, the cenditionef the Catholics of New York was worse than if they had never owned any church property whatever. It was not sur- prising, therefore, that the Catholic community, clergy and laity, under such circumstances, should turn away, as they did, in disgust, from a system which had wrought out such unexpected, and, for the honor of pena fame asa religious community, such discreditable results On the other hand, since the management of church roperty by lay trustees bas been set aside, or, rather, ae died ont, eir reputstion has been retrieved restored.

Another Nag in the Field. JOHN M. BOTTS, OF VIRGINIA, UP FOR THE PRESI- DENCY. f1pyey Prams, Del. Co., N. Y., March 27, 1855, TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. Every day, torough s correspondent, I receive a copy of your paper; and in its issue of the 22d imst. I find a brief editorial, headed ‘“ Présidential Discussioas—Cen- sorsbip of the Press Proposed.”’ The article im question, as it seeme to me and to your numerous readers here- aboats, is both just and opportune. Any attempt of the American Organ, at Washington, or of any other ‘ or- gan,” to suppress a full and free expression of prefer- ence in regard to a candidate for the Presidency in 1856, will prove vain and futile. The influential steps which nyour journal you have taken to give direction and success to the American party in 1856, eptitle you emi- nently to make such a selection as you may think proper of a candidate for President at that time. And altnough my recollection of the past teaches me that you may have some prejudices sgainst a certain eminent ataten- man of Virginia, my knowledge, nevertheless, of your patriotism and liberality, leads me to suppose that you will not object to the presentation of the name of the Hon Jeho M. Botts. Without Fp regard te old party ties and associations, 1 beg, as an individual voter, tw say that thousands of our Union whigs of this State, as wellas Elena would be overjoyed to give our saflrage either to John Minor Botts, ef Virgimia, or Daniel 8. Dickineon, of New York, persuaded, as we should be, that the interests of our country, at home and abroad. would be duly cared for, whichever of these two might control the adm'nistration of the government. Thanking you for the manliness, energy and ability with which you are entitled to be considered our cham- pion and champion bearer. lam truly yours, SIDNEY. ADDITIONAL, EXCITEMENT IN REGARD TO THE EXECUTION OF PINTO— THE CASE OF ESTRAMPES AND FELIX, ETO. BautiMore, March 30, 1855. ‘The steamship Isabel has arrived at Charleston, and brings advices from Havana to the 25th inst, Much excitement prevailed at Havana on the morning of the 22d inst., in regard to the execution of Don Ra- mon Pinto, To such as pitch had the feeling on the sub- ject reached, that the Captain-General had not been seen in public since the event. The body of the unfor- tunate Pinto, instead of being exposed the usual time, some twelve hours after execution, was removed from view within tnree—the indignation evinced by the popu- lace rendering the measure peremptorily necessary. ‘This state of affairs was brought about in consequence of the vindictive conduct of the Captain-General. Seme informality having taken place on the trial, the Minis. ter of War refused to countersiga the death warrant, oa the ground that the evidence convicting Pinto had not emanated from one whose character stood as clear as the sun at mid-day, but from one who had served two apprenticeships in the chaingang. Tho Captain-General therevpon convened a council of four, and after due de- liberation, two of them declared themselves in favor of the death penalty, and two in favor of acquittal. The casting voice was then left with the Captain.General, wbo condemned his former Secretary and friend to the garrote—hence the indignation. ‘The trial of Estrampes and Felix was to have taken place early this week.

Robertson, ad protested most energetically against their being punity :— 5 erefore, directed and ordained, by the that, henoeforward, no body of Li lay persons, by Whatever name called, shall be to appoint, retain. or dismis ny Person conneeted with the oburch—such as sexton, 0 Theatrical and Musical.
