Cuba and Old Spain. Our telegraphio news from Cuba indicates @ rapidly increasing discontent among the people. Evidently the Spanish government has carried taxation and bad rule to such an extent that the island to-day is more disposed to revolt than at any other period of its bis- tory. The Inteat act of the authorities, indi- cating fear of insurrection, is the surprising by the police of a Masonie lodge while as- sembled for business, They took the mem- bers into custody. Among them was the Lieutenant Governor of Sagua. The Havana lodge, on learning of this raid, suspended its meetings. : The attacks upon the Masonic lodges in Spanish America have been numerous, and have generally indicated the downfall of the old and exclusive system by which Spain always tried to govern her colonies. These attacks have been engendered by the jeal- ousy with which weakness watches every as- sembly of individuals which may, by the re- motest possibility, topple over a wornout government. The most noted cases, besides this one, occurred in Mexico and in La Plata territory of South America while these countries were engaged in consolidating their independence. Both cases resulted in exhaus- tive pontests, in which, however, the Masonic element was more passive than belligerent, the political factions throwing Masonry into prominence as a war cry. If we may trace the same restlts from the same causes, we may predict at no disiant day a revolution in Cuba which Spain will be powerless to resist, Vigorous, youthful and well located for defensive purposes against the mother country, a sharp and bold dash against tho government of the island would overturn itin a month. Spain, three thousand miles distant, could do nothing except, perhaps, to carry on her South American game of bom- barding detenceless seaboard towns, and, as usual, play the bully where there is no danger of being burt. . We have long wondered why the Cabans have ao patiently borne the terrible yoke im- posed upon them. Oa the one side of them are the ruins of a wornout people, who build their powor upon the blood and silver of Spanish America. Traditions cling fo it euch as might curse any country, even were iis natural viiality ten times that of Cuba, Cuba, in clinging to the most reirograde, bigoted and effete of all the Karopean nations, presents a sad picture. Here, at her very doors and within her grasp, lie progreas, civilization and all that can be desired. ‘The best practical method of bring- ing home to the mind the condition of Cuba is to suppose for a moment that Spain is a terri- torial extension of the United States, Thus wo arrive at the comparison of what Cuba is as a pari of Spain, and what she might be were she to adopt the principles which force us onward so rapidly, Let her at once cut loose from that which curses-her and enter herself for the race of progress In the West.

Ifany people in tae world are demanded to how how fur imposition may be practised, we vise tho taking of the New York population This is especial'y shown by the way they allow the cily roilway com- panies to carry on their wholesale system of impositiong. ‘This we yesterday proved very lusively by publishing a history of each >, its management and its enormous profils, made, ia part, by the illegal fare charged for transportation of passengers. There is, however, @ point still unmentioned which demands the earnest attention of the humane society, and we recommend it to them. It is | cruelty to animals in the highest sense. A low has been enacte] to prevent tho piling of | shoep, calves and other animals into caris for transportation; but no case which made that law a necessity was ever half so glaring as the jamaing, piling and stowing, like the packing of a box of sardines, of the gens homo into our street cars. Where is Mr. Bergh? Great hu- mane measures have been lost sight of in the pursuit of little ones. Where is our Legisla- ture in this business? They do an immense amount of legislating for this city whenever there isa job in the fence. It would be as wise to think and act a little upon the suffer- ings of half the population of this Island, as it passes twice a day from one end of the city to the other, Jay Cooke on the National Banks. Jay Cooke, it appears, bas, in # five column article in a Western paper, undertaken to prove the perfection of the national bank sys- tem of Mr. Chase and the necessity of ils per- petuation. Jay Cooke, who has become a wil- | Hounaire from his proflls as the chief engineer | of this system, no doubt has what he holds to be the best of reasons for pronouncing it per- fect. Nick Biddle & Co, had the same opinions of the old United States Bank, and Corcoran & gs had the same ideas of the makeshift sys tem whereby they were enriched under the happy reign of Joun Tyler; but the opinions of such witnesses against the prevailing facts and evidence amount to nothing. Jay Cooke is not a competent witness as to the merits of this national bank systein, He onght to stand aside. The Late Murdered Policeman. The death of Officer McChesney, by the hands of en infuriated woman, on Saturday night, | wae atiended by peculiar circumstances that suggest the necessity for the police to be better informed ae to how to deal with wounds in cases of peril. It would not take a week to instruct an officer sufficiently in the rudiments of surgery to enable him to stop bleeding on an emergency, or otherwise deal with wounds until medical attendance can be obtained. In the fatal affray of Saturday night it is probable that no skill could have preserved the life of the officer, as the jugular vein was apparently penetrated to ® depth that let his lifeblood flow until life was extinct; but It was a shocking sight to see ® man rushing through the streets near eee | for several blocks without B82lance, and dying, 98 he ran, froin external hemorrhage. There are many instances in which a little knowledge of surgery would be available in saving life at » Critical moment, which come under the notice of ‘he police constantly, and they should be instencted in tna ST % least to some extent. We hope the Commissioner. will take this matter into consideration. A Johnson and Sian As the case now stands between President Johnson and Mr. Stanton, the latter is only suspended as Secretary of War, and as a mere suspension involves a submission of the matter to Congress, the question recurs, how will the President present the subject? The Tenure of Office bill was especially designed for the pro- tection of Stanton, and in whatever shape his case may come up Stanton will doubtless be sustained by the two houses, And what then? Why, then we may look for a settlement be- tween President and Congress, one way or the other. The Coming Virginia Election, — From the indications in Richmond it would seem that there are good chances of Virginia carrying through a conservative victory in the coming election. The registration shows a very small negro majority, in all not more than nine hundred, many of whom cannot vote because they are non-residents, and others because, although registered in some shape, they have no name, and never had any. It would be well if Virginia were to reconstruct herself by adopting the constitutional amend- ment at her convention. It would be an encouragement to the other Southern States to go and do likewise. Rather Rough on Greeley. The New Yorker Demokrat (German repub- lican), in discussing the great question of “Sun- day and Rum,” says that “it is dishonest on the part of Greeley to put beer and rum together, in spite of the voice of modern science ;’ but that this is not to be wondered at, for “the skull of this fanatic is too thick,” and “logic, science and experience do not exist for him.” This is why he confounds the innocent and use- ful pastimes of tue Germans “ with the revel- ries of the rumshop.” This is good, and the best thing that Greeley can now do is to throw up the sponge and call out frankly, “zwei lager!" POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE, New York State. Tax yeLICAN Brave Levy.—The republicans do not eoom to be mekiag much headway with their sixty oitar assessments. At one time a Mr, J. F.

Political Miscettany. Reforring to the proposed convention in Georgia, the Grifia Star says:— So for sa we have been able to leara through our Goorgia oxchanyes, the conservatives are pretly pener- ally eeitling down apon the following policy, to wit:—To voie for the abiest and most available conservative cau- didate, aud not to vote at all ou the convention question, We are inclined to think that this is the best poitey, pro- vided the conservatives can ail be united apon it, A Western democratic paper says the democratic vote In Obio would have beou incroased by ten thousand if Valiandigham bad remained at homo and kept his lips | sealed. ‘fhe State Commitiee did try to suppress bir, but tho democratic masses would uave him on the stump.
