The argument that Cuba isa loss and not a gain to Spain is absurd. Spain is benefited largely by the productiveness and commerce of Cuba. The correspondent thinks that the immediate an- fexation of Cuba to the United States is not desired by the American government, but that England or France are not likely to ofer any opposition to the fcheme.

CHINA. x mt to Ratify the Burlingame Treaty with the United States Mr. Burilagamo’s Credentials, Hone Kona, August 3, via LONDON, August 25, 1869, Tre Pekin government refuses to ratify the con- vention conciuded by Mr. Burlingame and the Chinese Embassy with the United States, Mr. J, Ross Browne, late American Minister to China, in reply to an address of the British and American residents in Sbeaghae, denounced Mr. Burlingame’s policy and said he considered it an 6vi- dence of the Chinese disinclination for progress, He declared the estublishment of foreign relations with China om a basis of equality impossible at present and thought the yielding attitude of the foreign Powers would tena to produce war, as reve- lations recently made proved the mistaken nature of the British policy. The Chinese text of Mr. Burlingame’s credentials differa from the foreign version. In the former he 18 9ppoluted Envoy of China to tributary nations, The London Press the Recount Treaties with China, Lonpon, August 25, 1809. The Pall Mall Gazette this evening, in an article on treaties with China, says:—'It was the habitof for- eigners to lecture the Chinese on international im- provements. By the American treaty such inter- ference is abandoned. China, left free, would learn to feel sccure, and so come out of her shell and beara part in the commerce of the world, Itis quite intelligible to us that the American residents in China shonid dislike the treaty. But why should the Pekin government dislike it? Have the Chinese discovered some underhand design to filch conces- sions under the pretence of modifying former ones? or is this refusal toimply an accession of hostility against forcigners which protypts the Chinese to reject'negotiatsons for their own benefit.’ CUBA. The Proposition for the Purchase of the Island=Cespedew’ Government Consenting— Intentions of the Cubans if the Proposition is Rejected=Cuba to be Turned into a Wile derness, ‘2 WASHINGTON, August 26, 1860, The Cuban envoy, Mr. Lemus, 1# awaiting here with much anxiety intelligence concerning the negotiations known to be in progress between Minis- ter Sickles and the Spanish government, Mr. Lemus 1s fully posted as to the nature of the proposition which General Sickles, under instructions from Sec- retary Fish, has made to Regent Serrano and his Cabinet with regard to Cuba, This proposition was communicated some weeks ago to the Cespedes gov- ernment in Cuba, and Mr. Lemus was authorized to approve it as the representative of the patriotic Cubans, Upon recelpt of these instructions he im- mediately communicated them to Mr. Fish. This putan end to the movement on the part of the Cuban Junta to oppose the purchase of Cuba from Spain, ond tho protest which 1 was announced had been prepared by the Junta to be forwarded to the Presideat and Secretary of State was withdrawn, At the last advices which Mr. Lemus received, throngh Secretary Fish of course, Spain had not rejected Sickles’ proposition, hor had it been accepted. The Spanish government had asked time to consider it, aud General Sickles was hopeful of its acceptance. Mr. Lemus does not credit the cable despatch published a few days ago announcing the acceptance of the proposition by Spal If euch had been the fact ho ts confident that Secretary Fish would have been informed of it quite ag goon as the agent of the Associated Press in London, Mr. Lemus says if Spain does not agree to Sickles’ proposition within two or three months, it will no longer be valuable to the Cubans. At the end of that time they expect to be in @ condition to warrant them in retusing any proposition to pur- chase the isiand from Spain. If the negotiations fail itis the purpose of the Cuban leaders'to make the island uninhabitable, and thus drive at once the Spaniards and themselves from ic. They will de- stroy everything calculated to sustain life, Rather than see the struggle assume this shape Mr. Lemus thinks thé government of the United States will in- terfere on the ground of Lumanity, in which course it is believed she would be sustained by.all the civil lized nations of the globe.

Of the few States reporting the crop as in better rela- tive condition Texas rates 20 per cent higher than last year, with increased acreage, and Arkansas and Kansas about 10 per cent higher, with largely tn- creased acreage in the latter State.

W. ©. Senter, the present Governor and Gov- ernor elect of the State of Tennessee, arrived in this city last evening, accompanied by General John A. Mabry, who 1s spoken of as @ probable successor to Senator Fowler; Co‘onel John B, Brownlow, son of ex- Governor Brownlow, and Colonel D. M, Nelson. The Governor and nis party, shortly after being installed in comfortable quarters atthe St. Nicholas Hotel, were called upon by several Tennesseeans of note, who came to pay their respects and offer tie Gov- ernor thelr congratulations on his election, Mr. Senter 1s a young man, being only thirty-six years of age, 18 above the medium size, and stoutly, or rather solidly, built, He ia quite affable in his man- ner, courteous to a fault, and a very pleas- faut conversationist, but withal rather averse to ‘talking politics’ or “reviewing tne situa- tion’? for the special purpose of getting him- gelt into print. Our reporter, on announcing ‘Tis miasion, which was to obtain the Governor's views on the condition of affairs in Tennessee ‘and his side of the erection etory—General Stokes having already furnished nis side to the public—was very cordl Ny, received, and, after a little ‘gentle pre- vailing,” succeeded in drawing him into conversa- ton on the,mooted Tennessee eubject. “The fact of the matter is,” said the Governor, in ‘answer to our reporter's inquiry as to the motive of his journey North, *‘the fact of the matter is 1 don’t ike to talk politica after election time, especially when the ‘talk’ is published in the newspapers. 1 would rather let the whole Tennessee queation die out of itself, which it will if 4 is only left alone. You ask me if 1 came North to see General Grant about the election in our State. To this I answer no, visit has nothing whatever of an official character, and it is not my intention to speak to the President concerning Tennossee. { do not think it necessary.’? BEPORTER.—But, Governor, he will have all the federal oMce-holders tn Teupea- gee removed who voted for you. A word from you might change the aspect of things, A SENTER.—I do not intend to see the President,on the subject. If the oflice holders who voted for me are removed it wiil be a gross injustice, for every one of them is a staunch republican and ardent Grant man. Thia puts me in mind that Stokes claims that all the poor Repuvlicans voted for him at the election, Well, I will show you how false ia auch a@n assertion. First and foremost, nine out of every ten of the Grant and Col- fax electors of the State voted for me, and three- fourths of the State delegates to the Olicago Conven- tion voted for me, They were during the Preaiden- tial campaign, aud are atill, strong Grant men. The fact of the matter is, the fight in the late election was Strictly between the liberal republicans and what people in Tennessee understand by ‘re- striotive’? republicans, the latter boing opposed to extending the franchise or im any way holding out a hope to the men who had joined the wrong side during the war of an era of peace and brotherly feeling. The platform of the liberals who elected me was based on the resolution offered by Carl schurz at the Chicago Convention, and whic was made apart of the platform on which Grant fought the battle for the Presidency, That resolution favored the extension of privi- leges and the removal of disabilities from the people of any of the States that had been in rebel- lion whenever it was found safe to iavest then with ail the rights they had lost by thé rebellion. On the strength of that platiorm we won the fight. REPORTER—Your opponent says by fraudulent re- gistration, SENTER—He says, when be says that, what he knows to be untrue, He lays great stress on the fact that his vote was within 2,5u0 of the vote cast for Grant. Now @ fuli vote was not polled by the republicans at tne Presideatial election, They felt they had asure thing, and consequently many of them stayed at home, That vote, therefore, can- not be jasily taken asa test vote by Stokes. ‘ihe vote to compare our last election withis that cast in 67. And how do the facta stand? Wiy, Stokes got 19,900 votes less than Brown‘ow in ‘07, and the old registration was in full force in '69, You will thus see that all his talk about “trauauient registration’ 13 just so much bosh; for he would have been defeated by his opponent’s get- ting 19,000 majority had there been no vew regisira- tion. He bases much of bis assertions about fraud i the elections, } believe, on the point of there being such a heavy vote cast; but he could easily explain the increased vote if he chose to. Tho decision of the Supreme Court of the State, you will remember, some time before the election, Gecided that all those who had been granted certity cates by the first Enfranchise law, but wo were de- prived of the right of voting by the second Entran- chise law and by executive proclamations should be allowed to yore. This admitted 40,000 votes that had been heretofore kept out. As for the charges that the election was carried by my appointing corrupt registrars, they are absurd, I appoluted the best men could find. Indeed, 1 removed registrars in Wilson and several other counties, whom I knew to be strong adyocates of my election, because tiey refused to issue certificates according to law, as fixed by the Supreme Court decision. Among others I removed @ registrar wiom ‘ou know Stokes says I found | sell certificates to whites and blacks alike for twenty-five cents aplece, ‘Was the removal of such a mana “fraud? Why, Sir, oil the charges of fraud im the world cannot change the actual result of the election. In the calf Killer district, where Stokes fought his only battle daring the War, and gov whip, at that, he didn’t get @ single vote, @ Was beaten iphis own county, in his own natorial district, in his own Congressional district, in fact, beaten in every Congressional district, In his own district Brooks, tue “restrictive” candidate got 80 votes less than Thoruberg, the radical candidate in 1367, Can Stokes charge that to the registration decision wiich admitted ao many additional votes ? REPORTER.—What do you think, Governor, about what the “restrictive” party say concerning Goy- ¢rnor Brownlow; about his having made a political domergault? SENTER,—Political somersanit! I tell you Mr, Brownlow to-day as strong, as ardent and as unfin ing, @ republican as he ever was, %In what has he changed? He 19 an enthusiastic Grant and administration man, and that's just what I am myself, Somersault, indeed ! Woy Brownlow is the youngest man of his age—if I may be permitted a seeming paradox—in the United States. He 13 a true progressive republican. Prob- ably you remember the fact that he intimated in his message to the Legislature in 1867 that the time would come when the franchise would have to be extended—that is, when it would be considered safe to trust the State in the hands of men who had been connected with the rebeliion—when, in fact, they had become loyal. At the late elec- tion he feit that that tlme had come, and he advocated the extension of the franchise, Was that making a political somersault? Stoker alleges that one of Brownlow’s reasons for “going over’? to our side was that he had three sons In State posi- tions, well salaried, and he didn’t want them to lose their places, The fact 1s, he has only one gon tn the sald service of the State, ana that son was given hia position at my urgent demands, simply becanse he had worked so hard for the republican party in the State without reward that I thought he ought to get something. REPORTER—DoO you think that the new Legislature will disfrancnise the negroes? SenteR—It will not even touch upon that subject. It will do nothing that the republican party can call revolutionary; nor will itdo aught that will injure vital interests Of the Scate as they at present exist. The white people feei Kindiy toward the negroes, and Stokes did not speak truly when he sald that they were beginning to persecute the blacks as of old. As for his talking about having the election nullified by the federal government, that 1s all bancombe, The election is a tixed fact, It was as fair a one as ever was held in any State, and the general government would have no more right to nullicy it (han tt would to nullity an election in Massachusetts. The “restrictives’ charge that since the election ontrages and murders by “rebels” have become frequeat, which is another falsehood. But two men have been Killed in the State since the election, and they were men who voted for me, and they were killea while wrangling avout politics by Stokes men, one of the murderers having been at one time an Officer in his regiment, Rerorrer—What about the Senatorial question, Governor?

SALEM, Mags., Angust 24, 1869. The aixth day of the sesston of the Setentifce Asso- Clation was, like ite predecessors, full of interest, although the attendance was not as large a3 hereto fore. The frst comimunication read at the general session Was one {rom the directory of the Boston Music Hail, inviting members to the hail to listen to the “Greta Organ." The vote on the resolution in regard to the piace of the next annual meeting of the Association was laid over until to-morrow, @ proposition having been made authorizing a committee to select Niagara Falls as the next place of meeting. After the election of several members the Associa- tion adjourned to meet in sections. Professor B. SILLIMAN presided tm section A. The following papers were read:—By P. H. Van der Weyde—‘“The Spectral Bands, Conaidered as Har- monics of One or More Fundamental, Longer Wavest Lying Beyond 1n the Invisible Caloric Waves; “Atomic Volume and Atomic Distances of the Crys- talized ABC,” by Gustavus Hinrichs; “Biemental Fibres” (illustrated by models), G. H. FP. Walling; “The Volumetric Determination of Carbonto Acid,” by C, Sealy; “On the Relation Between the Intensity of Light Produced by the Combustion of Iiluminauing Gas and the Volume of the Gas Consumed,” by B. Sil- liman; ‘Remarkable Case of Freezing Fresh Water Pipes in Salt Water,’ by W. W. Whelidon; “On the Origin of Muscular and Mental Force,’’ by George F. Barker; ‘‘The Physical Theory of the Principle of the Lever,” by W. A. Norton; “On the Use of the ‘Thermometer to Determine the Poriod of Solar Rota- tion,” by Puny E, Chase; “Conditions of a Perfoc Lightning ”” by James’ Bushee; A New Method of Rendering the Seodie of a Galvanometer Dofl- nitely Astatic,” by M, G. Farmer. Professor Silliman’s paper on gas proved very in- teresting. With other observers le had long been of opinion that in case of variations from ‘the stand. ard of five cubio feet to the hour and 120 grains of spermaceti to a candle, the observed data puted up or down to the stated terms by t! Three was an erroneous mode, but that there were other conditions which must modify the results, He ves the following theorem:—‘the totensity of gas lames (i, ¢., their illuminating power) iucreazes, within the ordinary limits ot consamption, as the Square of the volume of cousumed.’? This he calls “Farmer's Theorem, the iirst experimental demonstration was made by Wiliam farmer, of New York city, By the old rule @ gas go rich as to consume but three and a hatf feet per hour would be pronounced of 28.57 canale power, while Farmer's theorem makes it forty candies, an increase of forty per centum. Professor Silliman gives the result of @ series of experimental tests, which go to establish the correctness of his theorem, and to show that, this being true, all the photometric determinations which have been obtained by computation from volumes greater or less than the assumed standard of five feet per hour, in imple ratio, are abso- lutely worthless, ‘The theorem applics with equal force to the weight of sperm consumed by the standard candle as to the volumes of the ae burned in equal times, Apply ug the theorem vo the case of very rich gases obtained from Cannel and other rich coal shows that the coincidences with the require- ments of the theorem afe too numerous and too closely accordant to be considered otherwise than ag pointing to its general truth, For the information of consumers Professor Silliman lays down the rule that where a moderate Nght of equal diffusion over a large space is required it may be expedient to use numerous small jets; but where the maximum ta- tensity of a given volume is desired inteusity bura- erg of large consumption are plainly indicated, The folowing hypotheses were proposed by Dr. Van der Weyde in his paper on light undulations and musical vibrations:—i. That the spectral bands are, with but one exception, the narmonics of the 1undamental vibration of the luminous molecule lying beyond our range of vision. 2 That cue oniy substance of Which the fundamental vibration is the visible octave 1s sodium, which gives the yellow line D, corresponding with @ velocity of vibration of 550,000,000 per second. 3. As the two bands of po- tasaium correspond with wave leogths of 400 and 726 intiionths of a mulimetre, which have a ratio of five to nine, they point to @ fundamental wave of torty- five degre which,-when reduced to the musical scale, would, for the fundamental tone C, corrés- pond with E and D in upper octaves. ‘The doctor then reviewed the lines of hydrogen, oxygen, &c., and after stating that substances of more compll- cated epectral bands appeared to point to two or three fundamental vibratieus, the subject was Giscussed by the section. A discussion, in which Professors Henrt, Silliman, Hinrichs and oiners took active part, thereupon ensued. In section B the following papers were read:—“On the Physical ecera Ny and Geology of Brazil,” by Ch. Fred. Hart; “fhe Homologies and General Structural Relations of the Polyzoa,” by A. Hyatt; “On New Species of Fishes obtained py Professor Or- ton in the Valleys of the Maranon and Napo,”’ by ‘Theodore Gill; “On the Age and Relation of the Metamorphic ktocks of New Brunswick and Maine,” by George F. Matihew and L. W. Batley, of the Geo- logical Survey of Canada; “Relations of the Geol- ogy of Ohlo to the neighboring States,” by J, 8. Now- bury; “On the Geology of North Eastern America,” was read by G. Sirong Hunt, who illustrated bis re- marks by a map which has recently been made. The seasion closed with the reading of a paper ion the Raritan Olays of New Jersey,” by J. 8. New: urys Prof. ©. F. Hartt’s paper pointed out that tne bases of the great plateau of Brazil ohtefly cousisted of a series of gneiss aud schists of eozofe and pal- mozoic age. The eastern border of the plateau was composed of gnetssose rocks similar in character to those of the North American eozoic, to which they doubtiess belonged. This gneiss beit, which ex- tended along the whole coast, was thrown Into a se- ries of folds which determined two monntain ranges, that of thé Sierra de Mar and the Sierra da Manti+ quiera. The highest poiut in Brazil belonged to this range and was called the Peak of Italiaiossi and was about 10,000 feet high. Prof, Hartt was of the opinion that the aurtferous clay States were lower silurian, and a3 possibly belonging to the Quebec group. Whether a part of this group might be Devonian was doubtful, no Devonian rocks having yet been recog- nized in Brazil. Carbontferons strata with charac- teristic coal plants and beds of bituminous coal were found in several basins 2 the coast and the rovinces of Rio Grande and St. Catherina, in the jouthern part of Brazil, The cretaceous formations of the Brazilian coast showed evidences of disturb- ance, After the cretaceous formation nearly the whole piateau was depressed. Over tne plateau were deposited very heavy beds of sandstones and clays. After the land rose the sandstones were tre- mendously denuded and were deposited along te coast beds of @ similar Character abutting against the edge of the piateau, These last beds, together with tne whole platean, were glaciated and covered with drift. Professor Agassiz took some exceptions to the re- marks of Professor Gill on some new species of fishes obtained 1u the valleys of tie Maranon and Napo. aid that each of the great hydrographic basins of zil were Occupied by diferent faunal combinations, THe gave a sketch of some of his ex. plorations in Brazt!, He and bis young friends had found in the rivers there about 1,800 species of fishes, which was about tea limes as many as were known betore. It could be geologically demonstrated that up toa comparatively receat period the rivers and water courses in which these fishes were found did not exist, and consequently these fistes were of re- cent origio. In section C the following papers were read:— "The Constitution of Man, as Modiiled by Light, Heat aud Cold,” by Clinton Roosevelt; on “The Atnos, or Harry Men of Yesso, Saghalien and the Kurlie Islands” (a map of Northeastern Asia and Northwestern America Was exhibited, showing also the tsiands whose in- habitants were the subject of the paper); “Evi- dences of High Antiquity In the Kjokk Deposits of New England," by Professo: ie, of Salem; “De Botoverdos of bra + by Professor ©. 8. Hartt. Mr. A. S. Bickmore’s paper on the halry men was fuil of interest. He described the construction of a village inhabited by these men on the tsland of Yeaso, The houses are generally of ove room and their ourward appearance is uniform, Their cloth- ing Is made in a iaborioas Way from @ yarn yrristed from the inner bark of atree, The killing of a bear 18 considered the greatest teata man can perform, and the number of skulis of the animal exhibited 19 a house is the mark of distiuction of it owner, ‘Their principal drink i* a kind of rice whiskey.

The Ainos are there sid to have been ferocious, and when wounded, worse than a bear. Mr. Bickmore said they probably migrated from Ventral Asia, and closely resembled the Arians in their general features, The opinion of Professor W. P. Blake, Who was for some time present among tho Ainos, Was that they originated. on the islands where they are found. He stated that they were skilful workers in wood and their peculiar coarse clothing. They are perfectly at home in the moun- tains and apon the water, and are the only reliable Japanese guides. Their crantat development ts good, and if relieved from oppression they would prove @ superior race of men, The speaker was of the op!{n- jon that they had formerly emigrated from Central Asia. Mr. Bickmore knew of no other pation that had such peculiar, long and black hatr, Professor E. S. Morse’s remarks on the evidences of high antiquity in the Kjeekkenmodden (kiteben refuse) deposits of New England possessed a good deal of local interest.

FENIAN CONGRESS, Eighth Annual Conve of the Beulag ' Brotherhood—Proceedings Yesterday—Ex- pected Reading To-day of the Head Centre’s Annual Report. In pursuance to a call issued from Mr. Savage, the Head Centre, who has just returned from Paris, the delegates representing districts in all parts of the Union, as well as representatives of the organization in Ireland, assembied yesterday at masonic Hall, Hast Thirteenth street, and opened the proceedings of this the eighth annual council of the Fenlas Brotherhood, At eleven A. M., when the proceedings come- menced, there were about one hundred delegates present. These delegates represent districts which have, in all, 1,006 circles of the Brotherhood. A much larger number of delegates is expected to be in ath tendance to-day, A glance at the delegates already here shows that, in most cases, only earnest, Intell. gent and practical men baye been sent to this Convention, and there was in thoir beare ing and tone-of conversation @ notable absence of that “Unton-square-mansion” kind of display which, in other days, characterized the deliberations of the Brotherhood.@None but accredited delegates were yesterday, or will be during the;week, admitted into the convention hail, The proceedings were mainly of a routine character, and intended so to prepare the way for the work of the remaining daye that, er assembhug tuts morning, every delegate would 0 his work marked out for him. Mr. Joseph Paui, late Acting Chief Executive, calied the Convention to order and read the cali of the Head Centre, Mr, Savage, tor the assembling of thig Congress. Mr. Paul then addressed the dvlegates in concise terms, pointing out the importance of the aestions with waich they would be cailed on to eal, and the necessity of such promantenes as ig consistent with good judgment in disposing of them, Subjects, ho said, of primary importance to the pres sent and future of the cause in which they were all oupaaed would be brought before them. motion was then made and carried that Anthony A. Griffin, Disirict Centre of Manhatian, ve appowied temporary chairman and Richard J. Morrison, of New York, temporary secretary. The chairman, after returning thanks for the appointment, said the first business in order was tne appotatment of @ committee on credentials. A motion was carried that this committee should consist of one delega! from each State and district. James McMahon, 0 New York, was appointed chairman and Georg? Cahill, of Boston, secretary of the committee, ‘lue credentials of delegates having been examined It Was announced that all delegates present were ele titled to seats in the Convention. ‘These preliminaries haying been gone through, the Convention at once proceeded to elect a commitiee on permanent organization. Peter McCorry, fore pierly eduor of the Glasgow Free Press, was chosen chairman and James C. Quinn secretary of this com. mittee. A code of rules fer the government of the Convention was then drawn up ani unantmousl; adopted, alter which, at two P. M., the Conventio! adjourned to ineet at seven in the evening. in the evening there was a fuller attendance of delegates than at tae morning session. The Convens uon continued in session up to a late hour last hight, the most important business being the elece tion of permanent oificera of the Brotherhood for the ensuing term. A committee to examine into the various departments of which the organization i this country is composed was next elected. The session, like the other proceedings of the Convene tow, Was a secret one, aud the result will not be made known until to-day. ‘ Much importaace ts attached by the members of the Fenian Brotherhood to the deliberations of this Convention, as well a8 to the choice that will be made of officers. Itseems more than probable thas Mr. Savage will continue at the head of the organk zation, a8 the utmost satisfaction seems to exist witn the manner in which he has already managed its affairs He has but very recently returned from Paris, and yesterday was busily engaged in prepare ing his annual report. This document will probabil} be read befere the Convention to-day. It will be 0: @ lengthy and exhaustive nature, and purposes t@ lve an exact account of the present condition, nanciaily, numerically, &c., of the Fenian Brothers hood, both La this country and in Ireland, and of thé means which have been recently taken to strengtn and give direction to the Fentan movement both Ireland and in the United States The whole of Savage's report will not be made public.
