Continuation of Rev. Mrs. Hanaford’s Speech— Address ef Stephen S, Foster=Close of the First Day’s Proceedings. CoxconD, N. H., Dec, 22, 1868, When I closed my iast® letter Rev. Mrs. Hanaford was still speaking, The conclusion of Ler speech is given below. She went on;— You remember that Margaret Fuller was ship- wrecked on our coast when returning from, italy with her husband and child, This sage descfibes one scene of that enipwreck hour:—“it was in the gray dusg gna amid the awfult tumult that the compapions in mis- fortune met, Th slde of the cabin to the leeward had already settled ander water, and furniture, trunks and fragments of the skylight were floating to and fro, while the inclined position of the ship made it didicult to stand, and q@ery sea, as it broke vover the bulwarks, splashed in through the open roof, ‘he windward cabin walls, however, still yielded partial ehelter, and agninat it, seated side by side, lalf leaning backwards, with feet braced upon the long table, they awaited what next should cowe, At first, Nino (Margaret’s little boy), alarmed at the uproar, the darkness and the rushing water, while shivering with the wet, cried passionately ust asyour child or mine at that age might have done); but soon his mother, wrappjng him in such garments as were at hand, and folding him to her bosom, sang him tosleep.’? The lady who copied the above added:—Such was the testimony of the sur- vivors. Inever read it without tears in my heart, soinetimes in my eyes. That little incident is a proof that strength, of brain Goes not render a woman less womauly, nor does it decrease the motherly nature mwoman. It melts the sneer of strong minded as applied to our sex. If men knew us as we know each other, they would not fear that by developing the whole woman we enfeeble any part of our nature, A weak-minded woman could not have showu that freedom from selfishness which Margaret manifested when the question was' life or death, not, what will the world say? The whole account of the wreck ag collected by Rev. W. H. Channing, from the lips of the survivors, shows that her more than wanly brain was connected with a more than womanly heart, The giving up of her life preserver to the sailor, her steady refusal to be parted from her husband and child, even though encouraged by the sailors tat she might thereby be saved, and her resoive*to die with them if they couid not be saved, show @ heroism which should forever silence the eneers against learned Women as mothers. And yet even such a Woman could not vote if she were here to-day. My sisters, this is no question of choice. It is your duty to seek the opportunity of voting, bo that thus you can help on tue cause of God in the earth, by expressing yourselves at the ballot box as in favor of ali moral reforms, and there wielding a pone that shall help to subdue all unrighteousness; for that glad era shall arrive—the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it”—when ‘the kingdoms of this Worid sail become the kingdoms of our Lord and of nis Christ.” It is said that if women vote they Will want oitices. Well, if the voters don’t want Women officers they. can vote jt them. The Majority can still rule. And the majority of Vvolers are women what more proper than that some of the‘ ofticers should tue town where I reside (Reading, Mags.) the men last March voted in three women amon, the members of the school committee. at of these women were amply qualified, but two of them soon afier resigned for reasons of a personal nature, preoccupation, &c. The third is now secre- tary of the board. She isa woman of superior edu- cation, talents, refinement and culture—a Boston born woman, trained in the excellent schools of her native city, Shecan read in various languages a3 flvently as you or I can read English. Day aiter day Bhe as been at my home (where we were studying ‘the Scriptures together) and we would compare pas- sages in all those six or seven different languages or twansiations, which she could read with such’ ease, Ougat not such @ Woman be deemed an acquisi- tlou to a school board? And ought not such women Vote and iil offices? It 1s sometimes said that ‘wouwen lose their dignity of manuer if they e1 in public duties. Not so, Among the Quakers, where women take part in the business mx and giso preach, there is no want of Of rum aud Moee truly Lette ner cone be ound. e are sometimes told that the Scriptures are oj posed to this woman’s sullrage moveuent. Not Ks Our brother in speaking this afternoon claimed our Saviour as a Woman’s rights man. Thus doi claim St. Paul a3 a woman’s rights inan, and {am thankful for every word which St. Paul ever wrote about wougn. And all I ask of Christians is, that they act Th the spirit of Paui’s words—* There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond aor free, there 1s neither male nor female, but we ure all one in Christ Jesus,” one to work for each ther, one to labor for humanity and for God. Siephen §. Foster, of Worcester, followed in an address more particularly directed to his own sex, and iu which he was very severe ‘and caustic upon ail who were opposed to granting the aon’, ri. vilege to Woman. Miss Lucy Stone-Blackweil then made the closing address of the day’s session, in Which she repeated her views, heretofore expressed and reported, concerning the unjust application of tue general laWs to woman, and™the injustice of taxing them without allowing them @ voice in the disbursement of the public funds. Daniel Pratt, “the great American traveller,” was im attendance upon tie various sessions of the day, and jus oratorical efforts concerning the subject of the Convention were numerous, For the benefit of the unenlightened who may not know of Daniel, it ‘would be well to say that he is a light-headed and harness old gentleman who believes himself the greatest genius of the age, and who has travelled over the Whole country several times and delivered bis characteristic barangues in nearly every section of it, ie bought a new suit of clothes and walked ail the way from Boston to Concord expressly to at- tend the Convention, and, tn spite of all attempts to ignore him, be made himself heard at every ses- sion. During the aiternoon recess one of the women sought to remonstrate with him for obtrading him- Beli so frequently and persistenly. Daniel told her loudly and forcibly that she was an old fool, and if she did not believe in him she didn’t belteve in Jesus Christ and Christianity, and that she ought to be sent to the lunatic asylum, A clergyman next at- tempted to expostulate with him, but Mr. Pratt, tak- ing an attitude of self defence worthy of Joe Wor- maid, told him to keep his distance, adding “hat he could out-talk and oui-fight the best of them, Others in turn attempted to approach the hero of travelling Tame, but each und every one he denounced as fools jor whom he had done millions of doliars worth of favors, but tor which he never had received a cent ora cramb of bread. Notwithstanding the numer- ous rebukes he still persists in being heard in the convention. tie is, indeed, an elephant which the mene sullruge agitators would be glad to get Tid ol. Second ‘ay’s ProceedingeA Large Attens dance--Speeches by Rev, Mr. Kittredge, Mra. English, Foster and Others—The Legal Status of Women in New Hawpshire—A Constitution Adopted and Oficers Chosen by the Association. Concorn, N. H., Dec. 28, 1963, As was anticipated, the second day brought a more numerous attendance to the Female Suffrage Convention here than was present during yester- day's deliberations. The prependerance of women ‘was avout the same, and among the number were a Yew of the absolutely strong-minded ones, and also 4 few who rendered themselves conspicuous by ap- pearing in full bloomer costume. The sleighing ta te towns around being excellent a great many came from long distances to listen and == unite in the Proceedings, and ail through the day dnd evening they manifested the deepest interest in what was said and done. Petitions to the State Legislature and to Con- gress, each asking for universal suffrage without distinction of sex, were freely cireulated and gen- erously signed. Several eminent lawyers and other learned men of the State have given their presence to tue Convention, aud while they do not yet seem willing to take an active part tn the movement they are very careful not to oppose it. That there is a growing interest in the question is evident from the tuct that (ue proceedings of Uiis body have been dis. cussed extensively in all the places of public resort upon the adjournment of the several sessions, aud the impression that universal suifrage 1s only a ques- tion of very short time is very generally entertained, Mr. Kittredge, of Coucord, opened the pro- s to-day with a brief speech, in which he red with some of the speakers who lad pre- coded Lim on the subject of the opposition to tie 10v t. He did not enteriain te opinion that the men were opposed to woman sulfrage as a gen- Ung, but the chief obstacle, he believed, waa vith the women themeeives, @ Jarge number of ido not care for tue right to vote. What they 1 do was to educate woman to an idea of her Importance, and she would then soon change her ve {'be clamorous for the right witch most men wo dily yield tober.

He explained that females have the #ht to collect their own earnings, irrespective of husbands, and he was glad to fears that the speak- ers had labored under a inistake, or rather gratified that New Hampshire was just to women in this par- ticular, Stephen Foster doubted this, and upon making known tue doupt the gentieman who framed the law, who was present, got up and clinched the statement which the chairman of the meeting had made, Foster, having become satisfied that he was wrong im the matter of legal information, proceeded to speak upon the comparative virtue of men and women. In point of fact, he claimed that women were better than men, and, so far as he was con- cerned, he believed that they were naturally better than men, although there are many of acknow- Jedged ability who believe that naturally they are inferior, but still better, in point of fact. He main- tained that woinap was more capable of loving tan man, and that her position a8 mother made her morally better; but in an intellectual point of view he believed that man was superior, and from this he argued that’ the sexes should unite their intel- lectual and morai elements, and then the highest perfection of government would be attained. When men work aloue they make a muddle of everything, and so do women; but when united everything goes along harmoniousiy. At this point the Committee on Business, in re- sponse to an order previously adopted. reported a constitution and list of officers tor a ‘New Hamp- shire Woman’s Suftrage Association.” The constl- tution, as reported and adopted, is as follows:—~ 1. Believing in the natural equality of the two sexes, and that women ought toenjoy the sume legal rights and privi- leges as weir; that as long as women are dented the elective franchise they suffer a great wrong and soclety a deep and in- calculable tojury, the undersigned agree to unite in an usso- ciation, to be called “The New Hampshire Woman's Suitrage Association.” 2. Tho* object of this association shall be to procure the right of auflrage for women and to elect such changes in the Jaw as shail place women in ail respects on an equal legal footing with men, 8. The oflicers of the soclety shall be a president, vice presi- dents, a treasurer, a corresponding and a recording secretary, and an executive Committes of not exceeding fifteen persons, besides the president, secretaries and treasurer, who shall be members ex gficio. All the officers shail be chosen at the an- nnal meeting, to continue in olflee for one year and unill others are chosen {n their places, 4. Any person may be # member of the association by the paymeut of an annual contribusion to its funds, or alife member by the of twenty dollars, 5, The President shall preside at all meetings of the soclety, r her absence the senior Vice President. ‘Treasurer shail collect aud take charge of the funds, make all paymenta and keep regular accounts, to be audited by the Executive Committee. 7, ime Recording Secretary shall keep the records: and the Corresponding Secretary shail couduct the correspondence of jation. & ‘The Executive Committee sball manage the business of the association, may elect honorary members, cali meetings: of the society, Brepare Petitions to the Legislature, issue pud- ications and employ lecturers and ‘seen, id take any inea- wures they think ut to forward the objects of the assoclatlod, and fill all vacancies that occur prior to the annual meetin, 5 6 'THS annnal meeting of the association shall be held at such hour and place and be called in such manuer as the Executive Committee may appoint. The following officers were chosen:—President— | Mrs. Armenia 8. White, of Concord, Vice Pres!- dents—Rev. J. F. Lovering, of Concord; J. D. Lymai of Concord; Deacon Caleb Parker, of Concord; Lii zie A. T. bund, of Bradford; Alfred W. Haven, Of Portsmouth; Mrs, Eliza Morrili, of Concord; Dr, ‘Lu- cinda Hall, of Concord; Wm. C, Sturoe, of Sunapee; J. B. Aldrich, of West Concord: Dr. M. 0. a. Hunt, of Manchester; Rev. Silas Curtiss, of Concord; Mrs. R. Wilson, of Keene; Rev. R. P. Ambler, of Ports- mouth; Colonel Henry D. Pierce, of Hillsboro; Miss Fanny Bellows, of Concord, and Mrs. D. E. Hiil, of Nortiifield. Recording Secretary—Colonel J. EF. Lar- kin, of Concord. Corresponding Secretary—Mrs. Sarah S, Piper, of Concord. Treasurer—John A. wie. os Sa r. Blackwell, in ogain addressing the Conven- tion, said that in the whole ibistory of the human race civilization had increased in tle same propor- Uon a8 Women have become educated, and when ae come to have a part in the government they be more graceful, more beautiful aud more at- tractiye in the-eyes of men than they are to-day. ee the external charms of youth and beauty we ‘will have intelligence, for the right of the batlot has always proved a good educator. If the people of New Hampshire believed that all political power rested with the people, as set forth in the bill of rights, they would, of course, acknowledge women a8 a part of the peoplo, and therefore they could not consistently deny tuem the right to take part in the administration of the government. He did not believe that tt was going to take so long to remove this ea ein th as very many believed, and in coa- eluding he said that those who advocated female sut- frage held in their hands the key to the political future of America, and woe to the pohtician who en- deayors to stop the onward march of the peopie or the treesistible triumph of true democracy. Stephen Foster having said during ‘one of hia speeches yesterday that he never had voted and hever would vote unti! woman had the ballot, Rey. Mr. Babcock, of Lancaster, rebuked him tor such a course’ In @ sarcastic Manner, asserting that no man should neglect to exercise his rizht of suffrage short of conscientious scruples. He then proceeded to dis- cuss the womun suffrage question generally and to refute the objections that had been offered by its op- ponents. He believed that the presence of woman ut the voting pluces would banish rowdyism from the on quicker than St. Patrick banished suakes from reland, and he could see nothing more indelicate in & woman dropping @ baliot in a batlot box in public than there was in her dropping a greenback ina cburch contribution pox in pubiic. Mrs. Lucy Stone-Biackweil followed in about her tenth speech during the Convention, declaiming in her usual way and force upon the wrongs and des- tism Wihici her sex are obiiged to suiler, such as velng underpaid for work performed, beng taxed without representation, being «ieprived of their just inheritance, and subject to suubbing generally at the hands of those who frame laws to govern them. She predicted the success of their cause, however, and would caution those now holding political wer to be careful of their course if they would have that power perpetuated. Her address was the most forcible of any wluch she delivered during the Convention; but as it advanced only the reasons which she bad prescnted at other conventions, the substance of which have already appeared in the HERALD, it ts hardly necessary to reproduce them, hen Mr. Foster had, Anished there were some brief general remarks by some who had before spoken, after which the ree took a brief recess. Upon ep Bgl again the matter of adopting the resol 3 pfesented on the first day was taken up, and ali were adopted except the last one, refer- ring to what legis'ation women would probably favor concerning the sale of intoxicating liquors. This, Dr. Blackwell ‘and others thought, was rather tar- fetched, and tt was laid upon the tabie, ‘The resolves having been disposed of by accepting them a4 the sense of the Convention, the making of speeches was resumed, Mrs. Lorenzo Mayne, of Waithans, a school teacher in that town, lamented at some length the lack of wisdom of the Legisiatures of her own and other States for not allowing women to serve on school committees. Rev. Roland Connor, of Boston, an Independent Universalist and one not acknowledged by the sect generally, made a powerful argument in favor of the purpose of the Convention in the evening. He re- garded the issue as one of the most important that had attracted the public attention for many years, and it was a maiter which hardly admitted of any discussion, for the justice of giviag Wouen the baiiot is almost self-evident, Mrs. Harper, the colored leecturer, made the next speech, in Which she claimed for women of her own color the right of suffrage the same as for white women, She reflected somewhat apon the intelli- gence of the foreigners, who are #0 #00n en! ised after coming to the country, and when she had von- cluded Rev. Mr. Connor expressed his sorrow at what she had uttered, fearing Catholics might take offence. The colored woman explained by saying bongs did not intend to reflect upon any religious sec! ‘To conclude, the Convention was eminently suc- cessful, and whether women ever gain the right of suffrage or not the friends of the movement else- where can entertain the sweet assurance that they have many sympatuizers among tue voters of New Hampshire. CONNUBIAL LIFE IN CHICAGO. Interesting Divorces and Breach of Promise Cases, {From the Chicago Times, Dec. } In the Circuit Court yesterday, in the case of Muza. beth Ana browning against George Browning, a de- cree of divorce was granted. The parties were mar- ried at Aurora, N. Y., on December (4, 1849, and dur- ing their cohabitation they had three children born to them, The complainant charged ber husband with extreme and repeated acts of crueity to herself and the children. She alleges that in the summer of 1861, shortly before the birth of her frst child, he tied her up toa beam in the house in which they lived by @ rope passed under her arms and over the beam, #0 that her toes barely toacned the floor, and there flogged her with a horsewhip. Also, that im 1864 he assailed her with a teapot, inficting so griev- ons a Wound that the scar still remains. Otter bar- baritics are also mentioned. The crisis, however, came in September, 1861, when, shortly before the birth of her third child, she says he brutaliy pounded her, and she thereupon fed with the children to her father’s honse and remained there unttl October, 1866, when she repaired to Chicago, where she states she has since resided, supporting herself and clili- dren by her own labor, and ali the time suifering from a constant fear that the defendant should ascer- tain ‘her whereabouts and seek to continue his cruel authority over her.

Faran BURNING CasuALTY.—Yesterday afternoon a two-year old son of patrolman Robert Reed, of the Forty-seventh precinct, while playing with matches in the absence of the family, set fire to his clothes and was burned to acrisp. The father of the unfor- tunate child was terribly beaten by a drunken ruf- flan, whom he attempted to arrest a few months since, and is now considered to be permanently dis- abled.

My companion alighted, requested me to do the same, and as we touched the ground our vehicle moved rapidly away, We entered the building before us and were imme- diately ushered into a side room, where were seated several persons, smoking and drinking light wine, Thad met most of them before; but one—a slim gen- tleman, with dark eyes and hair, apparently some forty-five years of age—wasa stranger to me. I was presented to him as an American, and was informed that he would be pleased to converse with me upon the subject of Cuban.independence. He intimated to me that he had been identified with the present insurrection since its inception and had a full know- ledge of tt. He was desirous that the people of the United States should be made acquainted with it, tts objects and purposes; and for this reason, at the suggestion of some of his friends, had consented to talk with me upon the subject, though in the present condition of affairs his so doing might result disas- trously to himself. He only stipulated for entire se- creey in reference to his name and character, 1 of course assented to this, and opened the conversation by remarking:— “I now understand the present movement in the island to have been long projected, and that it was entirely independent of the revoiution in Spain. What are its objects and intents ?” He answered me in English, with but slight accent, as follows:— “Cubans have projected tha revolution against Spain since many years, and the present movement would have been irresistible from tts inception, nad not the patriots made the mistake of putting them- selves under the orders of a committe? composed of some rich and promment persons of Havana, ‘These persons hoped that the American people, after the war against the South, would come to Cuba to take ry eas ‘ailation upon Spain for her treacherous be- jor towards the United States during the war—it being well known that the city of Havana ana other places of this island formed the market of the con- federates, where they supplied themselves with arms, powder and ammunition of every kind—and on account of the fact that Spain was the nation which proposed to France and England the Mexican expedition, taking advantage of the civil war to cripple the United States forever, The government at Washington did not see fit to call the attention of the people of the two sections from their own quar- rels to exterior questions. Cuba had a slave popula. tion and the Union had the right to question the Spanish government concerning the matter and of resenting the old claims she had against Spain, tead of this, which the liberal Cubans expected, Mr. Seward came to Havana and pronounced a friendly speechin the Captain General's palace, eulogizing Spatn, notwithstanding the atred «oof that Captain General and of the Spanish government towards the United States. From that moment this committee lost all hope of ovtaining anything from the Unton, and they re- solved to make the greatest efforts to obtain liberal reforms from Spain. They very soon learned that the government at Madrid was always ready to promise, but never to fulfil, and they became im- pressed with the conviction that a revointion in Cuba would tnvolye the total ruin of the country. They saw that in order to be free it would be neces- sary to change their position of rich planters to that of beggars, and at the same tline believed that the revolution would reduce Cuba to the condition of Hay, and so their assistance to the revoiutionists yas lukewarm and tardy. True they did not entirely Separate themselves from them, but they did ail they could to avoid any revolutionary movement, Meanwhile Cartos M. Cespedes, Pedro Figueredo and other prominent persons of Bayamo and buerto Principe continued the work of preparing the revo- lution, using every means 1 their power, and mak- ing ail things subservient thereto, and relying upon the co-op fon of the Havana comiittee. This committee failed to purchase arms, as was expected of it—failed to assist in any effectual way the pa- triots—nor have they done so, though they have now thrown themselves tuto a war against Spain. The objects and intents of this war are the independence of the island, the establishment of a Cuban republic, the abolition of slavery and the ultimate annexation of the country to the United States when its people are satisited that it can enter the Union as a sove- reign State and remain so. i then asked of the policy of Spain in its relations to Cuba for years past and the reasons why Cuvans believe that any liberal reform established im the penmsula would not be extended to them. “Cuba has never enjoyed iberal laws from Spain,” he responded. ‘In 1835 General Lorenzo proclaimed the Spanish constitution iu the Eastern Department and he Was persectuied by all the Spanish residents and the Spanish troops. In 1886 Spatu, after a revo- lotion similar to the present, announced a new con- stivution which was to be made by the Constituent Cortes, and Cuban Deputies were calied on to assist inthe great work of Spanish regeneration. Cuba gent her Deputies and when they arrived in Spain they Were not admitted to the Cortes on the ground that the. provinces beyond the sea would be gov- erned by especial laws. ‘the Cubans have ever since been considered @ conquered people. In the consti- tution made by the Constituent Cortes mentioned, in 1837, there is thia article, ‘The colonial provinces will be governed by spectal laws.’ These laws have never arrived; they nave never been mule. Cuba has during these jong years been subject to the greatest’tyranoy. Many liberal changes have been made in the Spanish government during these thirty-two years, but they have not affected ihe sad condition of Cuba. Spain is very poor. Cuba, as a colony, gives her much money. Cuba ix the special prize of all Spanish ofticials who desire to be rich, Cuba is the Paradise of slave traders, and ail these combined ure sui cient to perpetuate the existing yoke of Spain. Since the 19th of September Spain hws hgd ampte time to change the coloniai system, to prepare liberal laws to be enacted by the Constituent Cortes; but the pro- vistonal government at Madrid has preserved here recisely the same rule as before the revolution. hat government says that Cua and Porto Rico shall be governed liberally and under laws emanating from the Cortes. May be those laws will be enacted. May be Cuban Deputies will be udmitied to that Cortes. May be not. All we kuow is that Cuba is how gov- erned withont laws, as she has been, and at the des- potic will of @ military commander. ‘The people of Spain have not retained Isaveila II. on the throne,, telling her to wait until the Cortes shali decide what form of government shall be given the people. Why should the apirit of her rule be retained here during ali these months? A liberal provisional government bas been established there, and hadit been just a similar thing would have 6 done for Cuba.” In reference to secret societies my informant said ‘neve have been many secret organizations since the establishment of the South American re- publics, in this island, hayiug in view the independ- ence of Cuba. Two, under the ttle Boilvar’s Suas’ (Los Soles de Bolivar) and “The Black Eagle’ (Ll Aguila Negra), were the first. After these, from 1823 Lo 1836, Cuba has ever been the theatre of secret revolutionary organization. Peoll, Rojo, Betau- court, Aguero, Lopez and Vinto have been the vie- tims.’ Masonry has becu a powerlul instrument in advancing revolutionary ileas; but only an instra- ment. There are many Spaniards throughout the lodges in. the island, and their sympathies are with their countrymen and against Cuban independence.” Mm anewer to an inguiry U the SepEoeers. ot the re- volution were generally !n accord with each other, he continued:. 11 those who are connected with the movement are looking for independence. in Havana many of the very rich Cub desire the tin- mediate annexation to tie United States, in order to avoid the ruin of we country; but the yreat nase of the people reaitze that the policy of the United States 1a contrary to the true lulerest of that great repub- lic. Every one sees that the American statesmen are enurely taken up in domestic afairs and pay no attention tothe suiferings of a pcopie who wish to become Americans rather than remain Spaniards. For that reason the annexation scheme has beea postponed, and It 18 probable that if the revolution is successful the Cubaus will adopt @ uew plauviz., a West India confederation, uniting Cuba, th, St. Domingo, Porto Rico aud several other isiands uader # federaj government." I then spoke of the slavery question, to which he -=“The siaves here are iu @ better condi. tion under the law than they were tn the United States. They have the legal right of obtaining their freedom by paying \o their master their value, which is Oxed by the official appointed for whe care and de- fence of Slaves, who Is selected from aulong the Aldermen, ‘ue slaves have besides the right of coartacion, so called; that ia t say, the right of paying @ small portion of their walue and thenceforth ~~ J at liberty to choose their work. After the coar jon they can work out tvom undef their mas- ter, provided they pay him @ gertain sum money ench week, They have also the right to look for another master i they are not pleased with the one they have, As to the foelings between the whites and blacks, the prejudice of face is by no means as stro as in the States; but the conntry- men do not like the neg'oes much. The latter aro not well prepared for ‘she enjoyment of freedom, though they are quite as, intelligent as a fait propor. tion of European peasa'atry. The present condition of the revolution will not permit me to say wiat will bo the solution of the slevery questic (f the United States do not take ary part in tue ict the eman- cipation of all the * laves, as @ necessary measure, Will take place wit! jin two montis.

A visible sen- gation ‘was manifested immediately by the gentie- men seated around, who heretofore had been very quiet, My informant continued, with a considerable increase of energy :—This is to us the most terrible fact of this revolution. Cubans who love American ideas, American institutions, American people, wuo desire to be Americans; Cubans who are fighting for their independence, in close proximity to the greatest of republics, havé no arms, only machetes and common rifles, and Spanish soldiers are armed with American weapons—Remington’s and Pea- body's. The dead Cubans lying yonder in the flelds are dead by American weapons, “Nor can we obtain similar advantages from the United States. The speculative spirit of free Americans operates to sup- pe @ revolution against a tyranny which has ted for ages. How unlike the chivalrous spirit of Lafayette which aided the American Revolution | When the Cubans consider that the strength of the Spanish government lies in American atd they are in the greatest desperation, They look to the United States for moral and Paine aid, and they see the American people the friend of a government which would perpetuate tyranny. An American expedi- tion would have saved us and prevented the devas- tation of the island which will be so sensibly felt in the United States; but the narrow-minded policy of Mr. Seward keeps him faithful to the non-interven- tion principle, which other nations do not and never will adopt, notwithstanding the example of the United States, and at which, in the mouth of Amert- can diplomats, they oniy sneer.” Speaking of the conduct of the Cubans in the Lopez affair, to which | alluded, he said:—“What- ever the Cubans have left undone in the past they are now fighting by thousands in the tleld, and this is the best earnest of their intentions. Now 1s the time to afford them aid and comfort, and this they are receiving from the English isiands.

A CHAPTER IN SOUTHERN LIFE. Narrative of a Diabolical Attack of Negroes Upon a Private Family in Louisiana. {From the New Orleans Times.} The most extraordinary event connected with the recent pojitical disturances has never been written out. This was the immediate circumstances at-* tending the death of Pablo Filheu, and until his wite took the stand in the recent St. Bernard investiga- tion the extraordinary details have been (In spite of efforts made at the time) beyond the command of re- porters, The exact manner in which the high spirited and determined Fillien met his death is destined to have its place in history. And as such we give below the statements made by his surviving wife of what was the most dramatic and tragic situa- tion of any of the recent disturbances, The evidence was taken down by Judge Thornton, Mr. Henry oe acting as prosecuting attorney for the ste. Madame Pablo Fillieu sworn—The last time I saw my husband alive was on October 25. He was then at our house, in the parish of St. Bernard, On that night a crowd of some 400 negroes had come up the road. They had bs gobi very slowly, and finaliy stopped in front of our residence. One of them cried “Hak,” and they all halted, They were armed with all kinds of knives, pitchforks, hoes, bayonets, &c. Having ha.ted, four of them made a great noise by knocking violently at the door. There being no answer those that knocked reimrned agatn to the road; my husband was at the time in the rear of the house, and Wage entreaties being used said he would do nothing if they did not troubie him; after the four men bad wit¥drawn to the road a volley of at least, 400 shots was fred at the house, whereupon my husband ran to the balcony afd fired at the crowd; he returned to rejoad his gun; while he was loading the negroes again fired; my husband the second time fired upon them; this interchange of volleys was five times re- peated. At.the end of that tame I ran to the window to see if they were going away. 1 then dik- covered that they had possession of a toad of hay. 1+ saw them come in front of the steps of the house, pile up the hay and set fire tom. I went to my hus- band and told him they had set fire to ovr house, Hie thereupon went around and fired another musket shot. After that he returned and ordered me to go away and save the children, six in number, There Were present also my sister, a white boy and a col- ored girl, Each grown one of our party took a child and went away toward tie woods by the back way. That was the Jast time f saw my husband, The negro Brown, now in court, halted me in going out of the gate towards the field. He was then crouching by the fence. When I refused to hait he shot at me. I tuen stopped, and, coming up, the man threw hinself upon mie. f begged his jon when he interrogated me, and I asked m to save my life and that of my poor children. He cursed me and sald d—n you, I have pity on the baby in your arms, but none on you. Contant: to beg for inercy he finally told me to go. After I had started to run he commenced calling to the crowd in the road. He now cursed me again and four of the men shot at me. I continued to run antil they over- took me. I then called my sister to come back and that we would die together. 1 went on my knees with my children around me as my sister came up, One of the men dealt her a blow upon the head, She fell down and Phiiogene Augustine ran to her aud put his hand in her pockets. She now sat up and begged them not to fire again at her. Five shots were thereupon fired. Philogene and Brown: now de- manded to Know where my husband's —— was, They made me cross over the worst roads they could find, over and over. ‘I finally begged them to kili me there. They said they were noi ready to KiM me fet. In crossing a picket fence Phiiogene damped over to where [ was, and cursed me until I again feli upon my knees. { was unable to move through excess of terror. He ordered me to hasten to the house, where the money was concealed, be- cause the flames were fast ad ground, He hurried me on, the negro girl who was with me clinging to my dress. Subsequently, as i stated that the girl knew where the money was, they dragged her off by the arms and released me. My sister was then sitting alongside of the road, bleeding from her wound and ander the charge of a negro guard. [ finally persuaded her to attempt to make her escape with me, and this we did, although the negro fired his gun atus, * Witness, after some other adventures, met four white men, and was taken to Arlaba’s residence. ‘The witness identified ail of the negro men, who have been sent for trial before the Criminal Court.
