denied to rile over the territory which fs to be known as the now confedera- tion of West Indies, and embrace the whole of the English insular colonies in that direction. This movement, its character, probable consequences as well as the moment of its inception should not escape the atten- tion of the people of the United States. Un- dertaken by England ata time when Cuba ia inflamed by open insurrection, it proves that the British ministers are fully determined to seize every opportunity of building up an effective, it may be useful, power on this side of the ocean and almost in sight of our shores. In the British Antilles Queen Victoria has over 8 million and a quarter of subjects. Confed- erate these peoples, consolidate their interests under one active executive control, and the in- habitants of the British West Indies may be- come very troublesome even to the United States at no distant day. President Grant understands the importance of the British base in the West Indies, General Banks’ Cubaa Resolution. General Banks, on Friday last in the House of Representatives, from the Committee on Foreign Affairs, submitted a joint resolution declaring the sympathy of the people of the ‘United States with the people of Cuba in their patriotic efforts to secure independence and a republican government on the basis of equal rights, and declaring that ‘‘Congress will give its constitutional support to the President of the United States whenever he may deem it expedient to recognize the independence and sovereignty of such republican government.” This resolution was recommitted and ordered to be printed, the immediate object being the encouragement of the revolutionary Cubans, a notification to Spain of what is coming and a hint to England and France to beware of entangling alliance in this business or disre- gard of the Monroe doctrine. We think we may safely say to the Cuban revolutionists that this resolution of General Banks expresses the prevailing sentiment of the people of the United States, of the two Houses of Congress and of the administration, and that in all probability the Cubans will not have to wait very long béfore they have a recognition from our government of belligerent rights in behalf of the new republic, Let them get it into shape and show that they are holding their ground: and are competent to hold it against all the forces of Spain on the island or likely to come there, and a recogni- tion from the United States, like that graciously accorded Jeff Davis by Spain, England and France, will in very short order settle the question. We expect soon to hear that the Cubans are no longer fighting with old fashioned short-range muskets against the modern long-range weapons of the Spanish troops, and when, in the matter of arms, there is any approach to equality between the bel- ligerents the war will be speedily finished in favor of the republic of Cuba. Meantime the friends of the cause hereabouts would do well to see to it that this resolution of General Banks is circulated through the island.

Nothing was heard of the steamer afterwards until to-day, and fears were entertained for her safety. The news received to-night, however, announces that several of the Passengers of this steamer, who had lately been prisoners in Fort Cabanas, threatened the crew, took possession of the steamer and disembarked thie lady passengers, a portion of the crew and the cap- tain at Roques Key, near Cardenas.

HAvawNa, March 217, 1869, Advices to the 18th have been received from Port au Prince. ‘The position of Satnave is considered to be preca- rious, owing to the disordered condition of the finances. The navy has not been paid for threo months, and the crews are discontented and mur- muring. ‘There 1s also much feeling in the capital against Salnave, and jealousy between the whites and blacks is aroused to such an extent that assassina- tions are feared.

By command of 8. F. CaaLrin, A, A. G, In another order the Commanding General removes or suspends Mr. burgess, the radical mayor of Peters- burg, an appointee of General Schofleid’s, As to the probable cause of these removats there are various rumors, and the utmost excitement prevails in rela- tion to the removal of the Governor on all sides, It is generally conceded, however, as tne probable cause of Wells’ removal, that the Commanding Gene- rai thought proper to suspend an executive odicer who was charged with the crime of felony, in having been a party to the robbery of the United States mails, as recently alleged. In this connection the missing letter, which 1s charged to have been purioined by Wells & Co. ts said to have contained an intimation that Governor Wells, Judge Bond, the register in Bankruptcy; General Orlando Brown, late of the Freedman's Bureau; L. Edwin Dudley, Clerk of Cir- = aye and D.

The rush of office seekers to the White House was suddenly interrupted to-day by the announce- ment that the President was ill and unable to see anybody. Last night and to-day the President suf- fered with an attack of neuralgia which, in addition to the exhaustion consequent on the almost constant labor he has undergone since his inauguration, has physleally prostrated him, During the past fortnight the President has given his attention to business from eight o’clock in the morning until nearly mid- nigh’, the only intermission being the time occupied atdioner. He has not even enjoyed a canter on his favorite black, So this morning member$ of Congress, ag well as the general public, were denied the privilege of conversing with him, At noon several members of the Cabinet arrived and the President remained with them until two o’clock making preparations for another budget of nomina- tions, after which he retired to his private apart- ments, Consternation Among the Female Employes of the Treasury. Great consternation was created among the fair portion of the Treasury employ¢s by a report in several newspapers this morning that fifty of their nymber had been notified for discharge, and that a large number of others were about to be served like- wise. The rumor brought a etill greater pressure on the Appointment office, until the ladies were comfort- ed by the assurance that no discharges had been made and none were in preparation at present, whatever may be the case in the future, The statement doubt less arose from the fact that lists are being prepared for the purpose of selecting those who will have to be dismissed at the close of the present fiscal year, owing to the inadequacy of the last appropriations. A Hungry Crowd After the Drippings of the ‘Treasury. The office of the Superintendent of the Treasury Building was this morning thronged with persons of all sexes and colors anxious ccncerning the dis- tribution of the sweeping and scrubbing patronage. ‘The Superintendent has charge also of the watch- men in the Treasury, and has been engaged to-day tn listening to the claims of applicants. Tho Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Sworn In. William A. Richardson, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, was sworn in to-day. It 1s understood there will be considerable reduction in all the bu- reaus of the Treasury Department on the 1st 1 roximo, and that thg dismissals will be made from the least eMcient and most obnoxious politically of the employés. Register of the Treasury. It is understood that George A. Halsey, of New Jersey, who was recently offered the Registership of the Treasury, is yet undecided whether he will ac- cept that position, being divided between his busi- ness interests and his desire to serve the government as a bureau oMeer. He will probably decide one way or the other to-day. Supervisor Appointed for California. N. A. H. Ball was to-day appointed Supervisor of Taternal Revenue for the Department of California, Utah and Arizona, in place of Charles L. Wiggins. Assistant Chiet of the Printing Bureau. Mr. Jules Golay, @ clerk in the Treasury Depart- ment, has been appointed assistant to the Chief of the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. Split in the Republican Party of Virginia— Conservative Republicans Desirous for Re- construction. A complete, decided and strongly marked division has ocurred In the ranks of the republican party of Virginia since the recent Petersburg Convention. The party headed by Wells is composed of negroes and ultra white radicals; the party headed by “Walker comprises the best of the native republicans of the State, men of wealth, standing and influence opposed to proscription and the impracticable theory of equality. The former do not want recon- struction, except such as will leave them in undis- turbed possession of their offices. The latter are eager to see the State rehabilitated, and only desire the offices filled by honest and competent men. For this purpose they have come to Washington to arge speedy action on the part of Congress. They form an executive committee of what they call the true republican party of Virginia, and embrace the fol- lowing names, well known in Richmond and throughout the State:—G. K. Gilmer, chairman; Franklin Stearns, John B. Crenshaw, Charles D. Yale, Charlies S, Mills, James W. Lewellen, Horace L. Kent, George Rye, B, Hassell, The following’ is thelr State ticket:—For Governor, Gilbert C, Walker; Lieutenant Governor, John F. Lewis; Attorney Gene- ral, James C. Taylor. They desire that Congress shall give the people the opportunity of voting sepa- rately on the three sections of the constitution relating respectively to county organizations, the test oath and State disfranchisement. These sec- tions, they anticipate, will be voted down by an over whelming majority. The subject of disfranchise- ment they wish to be left entirely to Congress, and consider that the reconstruction laws provide amply enough for excluding former rebels from office with- out the additional disabilities imposed by the State constitution. ny Health of Ex-President Johnson. Surgeon Basil Norris, of the United States army, telegraphs to-night from Greenville that ex-Presi- dent Johnson suffered intensely from neuraigia, with calculus. He is relieved, however, and on his feet again. A Government Donation for the Education of the Colored Race of South Carolina Re- pudiated. ‘The presiding officer of the Southern Assoctation for the Education of the Colored Race in South Caro- lina a few days ago wrote to the Secretary of the Treasury requesting tbat the balance of money due the government for the purchase of the United States Marine Hospital at Charleston, 8. C,, for an educa- tional institution, be remitted. About a year ago the Treasury Department agreed to sell the Marine Hospital for the purpose mentioned for $9,000, to be paid in instalments, and $1,500 of the money was was paid over then. Although the time when the second instalment should be paid has been once or twice deferred, not @ cent has been paid since the day the sale was concluded. The Treasury authorities replied to the Southern Assocla- tion that there was DO power vested in the Secretary pf the Treasury to make donations of the public property in his charge; that the pro- ceeds of the sale of the Marine Hospital belonged to sick seamen; that the best he could do was to fix upon the Ist of June next as the day on which the balance of the purchase money must be paid, or, failing in that, the butiding must be surrendered to the government, in which case the $1,500 already paid would be retained as a reasonable rent for the batlding from the date of its occupation, Weekly Currency Statement. ‘The amount of fractional currency received aur. ing the week from the Printing Bureau was $428,620, ‘The shipments to the Assistant Treasurer at New York were $200,000: to New Orleans, $100,000; to national banks, $152,253.

Y., has assigned its authority to act ag a depository of gov- ernment moneys, has balanced its accounts and re- celved its securities from the United States Treas- urer, A number of applications are on file from other national banks asking for permission to surrender as designated depositories. The cause of this retire- ment of governgent depositories is the order issued some time since by Mr. McCulloch naming certain banks which should receive the deposits of officers of the Treasury, and directing such orticers to de- posit thelr funds with none but the banks desig- nated. Seizare of Illicit Distilleries in Tennessee. J. J.
