‘nan any clear conception of the argument of the Cuban cause which leads the American people to the conviction that Spanish power in America deserves only to be swept out of existence, and which deprives treaties and neutrality laws of the moral support of the people, which alone can make them valid. We do not hesitate to say that the madness of the Spanish volunteers in Havana and such - proclamations as this of General Valmaseda “ have done more to create in a few months sym- pathy for the Cuban revolution in every civil- ized and Christian community than without them the efforts of the Cubans could have at- tained ina generation. There is not a people or 8 government in any enlightened portion of Europe or America that does not feel a wepugnance to fellowship with such barbarous authorities and entertain the conviction that they should beswept from the roll of nations. The result of these violent courses will be seen in a general recognition of the republican government of Cuba whenever its people shall present one and evince their own respect for it. The Family Feud in Rhode Island. The great feud which has lately become 80 public between the two rival families which control Rhode Island is rapidly descending té a brawl scarcely inferior tu some of those which disgraced Italy in the fifteenth century. So long as Rhode Island kept this family trouble a little quiet it did not attract public attention. Now, however, it is spreading its disgrace beyond the limits of Providence Plantations, to which it has heretofore béen confined. The two families are entertaining the whole coun- try with an amount of billingsgate which has warely been equalled even in the famed fish districts of London. A Senator from Rhode sland, from his seat in the Senate, shows his education and good breeding by characterizing his colleagues as ‘‘pukes, telegraph poles and puppies.” He gives along tirade against a regiment of undisciplined ‘‘three months men,” who afterwards produced six hundred officers and men for other regiments. These men fought as bravely and won as much honor &s any who swelled the Union armies and over- threw the rebellion. From his Senatorial seat he drags a family feud into the national de- bates, and the other Senator from Rhode Island descends to the same level by doing battle in the defence. A member of the family attacked calls the Senatora ‘‘calumniator, pol- ¢roon and a liar,” and the fight goes on. Thus Far there has been nothing exhibited that shows courage on either side. Gentlemen ‘who are very anxious to resent insults rarely make any great bluster about it. The desire is productive of prompt action and the affair settled at once, Such language as we have Been exchanged between the rival houses Bhows how little, how very little, polish twenty or thirty millions of dollars give where money fnstead of brains and education is the sole reliance. Rhode Island is to-day in a com- plete state of revolution. The two clans are marshalled in deadly hostility to each . other. It is cotton mill against cotton mill, and opera- tive against operative. The political contest uring the coming year promises to be a very hot one. One of the oldest members of one of the rival families has, for the first time in his life, taken the political field. They are cuttin, eigzags, opening trenches, running mining galleries and advancing toward each other's bastions. Big guns and little guns, millionaires and petty shopkeepers, clerks and working- men are in for the political cancan; for the {aterests of the inhabitants are all more or leas interwoven with one or the other of the rival houses, and the mottois, ‘He who is not my friend is my enemy.” Rhode Island is too small. There is not enough of her to balance herself either finan- cially, materially or politically. Properly she should be annexed to Massachusetts, for she can hardly boast of being more than a large manufacturing village. Aside from a limited circle of generous people, narrow ideas, petty jealousies, gossip and family feuds are the ruling features of the State which it would be a blessing to the people to have eradicated. We recommend Rhode Island to the attention of our missionary societies. Discord Among the Organs Democracy—Anticipated Duels , Paris Editors. Since the death of M. Havin, the late editor of the Sitcle, the tone of that journal has apparently changed. It has been accused of having abandoned the liberal sentiment of which it was formerly a recognized advocate. Insinuations have been made that it has vir- tually surrendered to the pressure of the “‘powers that be.” A declaration has been pub- lished by its editors that, although they still remain faithful to the past, they must act in the living present, and that the policy and lan- guage of M. Havin were suitable for a day which has now gone by. This declaration has woked energetic comments on the part of journalists representing various shades of democratic and liberal opinion. M. Emile de Girardin, of the Liderté, denounces the dis- owning of their former leader by the editorial staff of the Sitcle as an act of ‘‘pitiable cow- ardice.” M. Robert Mitchell, of La Patrice, Andulges in a similar strain of denunciation, without, however, using equally violent ex- pressions, But certain phrases which he does use, such as ‘‘soi-disant liberal journal,” to- gether with an intimation that the Siécle pre- fers “absolute government,” have, it is said, 80 roused the ire of the editors of the Siecle that one of them, M. Anatole de la Forge, has challenged M. Mitchell to a duel, It is added that the duel was expected to come off on the island of Caprera and that General Garibaldi had been invited by M. de la Forge to be his second. La Liberté promised to telegraph at once the result of the encounter, Whatever the result may have been or whether the duel has ever been fought or not really matters but little to the cause of French liberalisin, THE SPANISH THRONE, A Bourbon Candidate in New York. We understand that a Bourbon prince, now in New ‘York, has been brought forward by certain political personages in France as a candidate for the throne Of Spain, and that important communications for Madrid went from here in the last steamer for Eu- rope. We learn also that the Atlantic cable has been busy in the matter. The person in question ia Prince Louts de Bourbon de Alcantara, son of the Count Aguila, cousin of the ex-King of Naples and nephew of the Emperor of Brazil, He is now residing in New York and is said to entertain liberal opinions in politics.

TRLEGRAPUIC NEWS FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD ENGLAND. Debates in Parliament Regarding the Condi- tion of Ireland. Lonpon, April 30, 1869 The speech’ of the Mayor of Cork at the recent banquet in that city was the subject of long debates in both Houses of Parliament this evening, the attention of members being called especially to the Mayor’s language respecting O'Farrell, who ‘attempted to assassinate Prince Alfred in Sydney, N.S. W., as well as to his reference to the Prince himself, The tories upbraided the government with being the indirect cause of the present state of Ireland. In the House of Commons, Mr. Bright thought the present condition of affairs in Ireland to be no case for panic, but urged that both partiesshould strive to remedy the land grievance question at this ses- sion of Parliament. For himself, he would not have remained on the Treasury bench tf he did not feel that he was honestly and energetically advocating measures which would effect great salutary changes in Ireland. The settlement of the Church question wiil not stay the present outrages in that portion of the United Kingdom, but it is the first example that any Parliament has ever given that it was will- ing to do justice to Ireland and is an earnest of that intention. Mr. Gladstone followed in support of Mr. Bright. He had always found that Protestant ascendancy in the form of religious establishment was the para- mount cause and the mode in which the power of the landlords had been wsed and by which the rela- tions of the tenants vitally affected. He thought that Lord Stanley had anticipated too much in demanding a policy upon the land ques- tion. He feared that misapprehension would attach to any representation that might be given now; but it was necessary to avoid the appearance of having suggested measures from fear of panic or upon a momentary occasion. He concluded by saying that the government was anxious to substitute for the present condition of the State confidence in the country and loyalty to the crown. Mr. Gathorne Hardy (conservative) urged the im- mediate removal of the Mayor of Cork. He con- sidered that the government were bound to declare a policy on the land question, and thus dissipate the unreasonable expectations of Ireland. The subject was then dropped. SPAIN. The Establishment of a State Religion Re- Jected by the Cortes. Maprip, April 30, 1869. In the Cortes yesterday Seiior Cuestas proposed an amendment to the new constitution now under con- sideration establishing the Catholic as the only re- ligion of the country.

In this document the members of the conference express “regret that n® representative from the United States has been present during the proceed- ings; but we are convinced that that great and noble nation, one of the foremost of the world, which rendered such great service in the work of humanity, sympathizes deeply with this move- ment.” The address is signed by forty delegates, among them the Turkish Ambassador to Prussia. The eonference has ordered coptos of the report of its sittings to be sent to America with the address. DOMINION OF CANADA. Ice in Lake Erie=Departure of Vessels from Port Colborne. : Port CoLBorng, April 30, 1869. The wina, which was from the northeast yester- day, drove the ice off the shore, and in the afternoon abont 100 vessels went out, and it is expected some of them are still in the ice off Mohawk Island. The wind to-day 1s south, and has brought the ice back again, blocking up the harbor. There are still about fitty vessels here. Burning of the Freight Depot at Chatham— Loss $100,000.

KENTUCKY. Heavy Ver¢icts Against Fraudulent Whiskey and Tobacco Deaters—Seizure of Benzine on Board a Passenger Steamer. Cincinnati, April 30, 1869. In the United States Court at Covington, Ky., to- day, Judge Ballard on the bench, a judgment was rendered against A. W. Darling, of Carrollton, Ky., for $200,000 in favor of the United States.

PENNSYLVANIA. Enthusiastic Cuban Meeting—Resolutisns of Sympathy with the Revolution.

Resolutions were adopted, in effect declaring that Cuba of right should be free and independent; that as a people we will labor to encourage a generous sympa- thy for the noble patriots of that island in their strug- gle; that the successive triumphs of the patriots since October last give a strong assurance of the early and complete success of the revolution; and that this condition and prospect of affairs in the island, com- bined with the sympathy of the American people, and especially with the significant resolution of the House of Representatives, ought to impart fresh impulse to our sympathy; that there is reason to believe that the President of the United States has a warm sympathy for the patriot cause, and that he now has and will continue to have Balter peipeniene’ of the reso- lution of the House of Representatives; that should continued success of the patriot army be such as would justify the President tn recognizing the abso- lute dependence of the new republic at an early day, of which there are strong probabilities, and should he at such time have doubts, and misgivings as to his constitutional power so to act, we sincerely trust that he will call Congress to- gether and urge them to authorize him to welcome Cuba into the family of nations; that for the pur- ose of giving practical effect to the foregoing reso- Fitions, and in order to Looe’ and disseminate cor- rect information on ban matters, to assist refugees from Spanish Lrg to correspond with legitimate representatives of the patriots, to consult with them and concert measures to promote their hoiy cause in every other honorable and legal way, that a committee of thirteen be appointed by the chairman of this meeting, who shall have these duties in charge, and who are hereby empowered and instructed to sit in permanence or until the in- dependence of Cuba is a positive fact.

Bell, @ resident of the town of Rochester, Ulster county, was arrested in 1864 by General John A. Dix, then commanding the Department of the Fast, and was confined in Fort Lafayette for four months.

ALBANY, April 30, 1869. ‘The action of the Railroad Committee upon the Second Avenue Railroad bill reported by Judge Campbell created some surprise when 1t was found that the amendments thereto prohibited the use of steam cars anywhere within the beundaries of the city. ‘This would necessarily interfere with the priviieges of the Hudson River and Harlem roads. Mr. Irving, of the committee, who, with his usual watchfulness, detected that the report had come frem a minority of the committee—in fact, from three members only—objected to its reception by the House until the amendments were stricken out. He denounced the attempt to change the purpose of the bill, which was to prevent the dummy cars from run- ning on Second avenue. He said that the chairman when remonstrated with by him on the new features introduced into the bill, said that “what was good for the was good for the gander,”’ by wnich he (Mr. Irving) understood the gentieman to mean that if the Second avenue was interfered with all other roads using steam within the city limits should suffer likewise. Mr. Irving's opposition prevailed, and the amendments were rejected by a vote of 86 to 15. ‘There is @ good deal of talk here about the non- resignation of Judge Connolly tn the Seventh Judicial district. People are beginal to think that it is about time that his friends unit upon a successor to that place, as it is understood that the Judge is willing to tender his resignation ag soon as an accept- able person is fixed upon to succeed him. Legislation is going through with a perfect rush in order to enable members to return to their homes on Thursday or Friday next. The probabilities are that this result will be reached, and no. one will re- gret the dissolution of a legislature that has accom- plished go |ittle conspicuous for good. There was an exciting discussion in the House to-day on the canal question. The majority carried the bill after totally ignoring the rules of the House.

Dickinson VETO MESSAGE. A messaze was received from the Governor veto- ing the bill amending the charter of Oswego, He objects that the bill provides for the election of five supervisors, while already it has one sq in addition,to the one elected by the town of which it 18 @ part—the town would then have six. It is well known that supervisors are not joned to population, but, asa rule, every town ia entitled to Tepresenianion, in the County Board.

Twelve matinée performances will be given to-day at the various theatres in this city, and one in Brooklyn. This is five less than were given on last Saturday, yet the variety of entertainment offered is nearly as great as ever and the probabilities are that each and every one of them will be well patronized. To-day we have everything in the amusement line to choose from, except grand opera, and there are in- dications that in a week or two more that luxury also will probably be added to the Saturday matinée programme. But a few years ago theatre-goers of New York were either too oWlish or else too phieg- matic to relish anything in broad daylight, which they had been accustomed to regard as only enjoya- ble when witnessed by the glare and filcker of gas In a post prandial frame of mind and contentment; but this is now entirely changed. Matinée perform- ances have suddenly grown into popular favor in this city, and arenow an acknowledged necessity as well as a luxury. Even the most excit- ing and fastidious in these matters have nothing left even to wish for, and an excellent o} portunity is afforded to all to satisfy their own indi- vidual taste in regard to the style of performances they feel inclined to patronize. They can select be- tween ti ly. comedy, farce, opera, burlesque, sensational drama and negro minstrelsy; and as each of these particular attractions has its own littie coterie of admirers and worshippers the Seoerees are favorable that each to-day will be exceediagly well attended. The following are the matinées an- nounced for this afternoon:— “School” (day ‘‘school”’) will keep for the last time at Wallack’s to-day, after which it is to be cast aside to make room for “Caste.” “Othello,” the jealous Moor, will show the lovers of tragedy how he wooed, loved and murdered the tair Desdemona, at Booth’s. “The Forty Thieves,” as usual, will prance, dance, sing and nimbly caper on the boards at Niblo’s. “The Tempest,” as written by Mr. Shakspeare and produced by Mr. Tayleure, will be made fearfully real by the aid of patent thunder and chemical light- ‘at the Grand Opera House. “Robinson Crasoe and His Man Friday’? will this Saturday do some very queer things in the way of pantomime at Tammany. “Humpty Dumpty” will continue, as heretofore, to indulge in extravagant grimaces and striking at- titudes at the Olympic. “Barbe Bieue,” the musical villain, will again marry Boulotte and wriggle in the cancan at the Fifth Avenue theatre, “The Seven Dwaris” will nold their last extraor- dinary magical reception at the Bowery. “Pluto,” made eniertatning by Jinks Lingard and the bleached blondes in the handsomest of dresses, will hold forth as usual at the Comique. “Paris and Helen,” in gold fringe and tights, will do their billing and cooing for the first time in day- light at the Waverley. ‘he Pastor of the Bowery will hold forth to his de- lighted cot tion in ‘songs, dances, jigs and sketches at his opera house, ‘The ‘Japs’ will stand on thetr heads, climb bam- boo poles and make paper butterflies fly at the New York Circus. The Watson Brothers—three darin; appear, in thetr great somersauit act and leap for life, this afternoon and eveniny at Stickney’s Circus, now exhibiting at Mott Haven. And Hooley’s Minstrels, in Brooklyn, will bur- lesque the trapeze sensation of the hour, and will warble in burnt cork opera for all who favor them with their patronage.

It will exhibit tp that city for two weeks. . Olive Logan’s “Surf” is the attraction this week at the Dearborn theatre, Chicago. “Sam” is Chanfrauing in Buffalo. An association of Parisian managers has just been formed for the purpose of introducing a grand French repertoire of opera and opera comique, em- bracing such works as fre generally unknown here. Of course the troupe aay be peeeeee ee from Paris, This new opera compa make ret appear. ance at the Academy of ‘arate, which has been taken tor a fall and spring season. The new opera comique, entitled the ‘Hermit’s Bell,” will not be produced at the Fifth Avenue theatre until May 10. Mr, Labouchere--a member of the great London banking house oe Lghopchere, & Co.—who was elected to the British Parliament about two years since for Middlesex, is coming over to this country in the last week of June on a visit to Mr. Manager Stuart. He is the proprietor of the Queen’s theatre, which was built for Mr. Wigan, and since the retire- ment of chat gentleman has acted as manager him- self, Mr. Labouchere is a species of miniature Fisk; and one of his obj in coming to this country 18 to carry off some of our best American talent to his London theatre. He has already, thi Manager Stuart, made offers to one or two of our best artists, The English stage must be Mes to a great extent by the le of puppets and hee! and toe tragedians which have swarmed about us; and the Londoners ought to gladly welcome genuine artists in their place, even if they be Americans. THE NEW YORK HERALD IW KANSAS, ‘The Greatest Newspaper in the World. (From the Seneca (Kansas) Courier, April 22.) The New York HERALp of April 13 is now before us, and in many respects is the greatest newspaper in the world. It is certainly the most enterprising and largest in the United States. The copy now before us is ® quadruple sheet, forty-six by sixty-eight inches, containing eight columns of editorial, thirty- eight columns of news, and fifty columns of adver- tisements—in all ninety-six columns. The cost of type-setting alone is enormous, the HERALD being the only paper in the world that sets every portion new every day—advertisements and all. To print the single issue now before us requires the setting up of 500,000 ems agate, 343,000 ems nonparell and 46,550 ems minion—849,650 ems in all—and the consump- tion of over eleven tons of paper. The type-setting and proof-reading alone cost full $600 for a sin- gleday. Enormous as these figures are, they give but little idea of the aggregate expense of publica- tion. Ocean telegrams at $2 20 per word; telegrams from all parts of the American continent; corres- pondents in all parts of the world; a corps of editors at the home office, and two distinct corps of corres- pondents at Washington, have all to be paid at highest rates, It ts thus easily seen why everybody reads the HRRALD.
