Laine RAVANA, Sept. 4, 1869. During the past Week there has been secretly cir- e@miated through the city a manifesto—a translation ef which I send you—addressed to the Spanish resi- Gents, and particularly to the volunteers, the object and intent of which is tne expulsion of Rodas and the elevation of Valmaseda to his position, with ‘Leaea as Segundo Cubo, It is of the same character gs those which preceded the deposition of Dulce, end, though certain Spaniards claim that it is but @ wick of the Cabans, it is in reality an ebulli- Yon of the antagonism toward the colonial government, on account of ii Incapa- city to suppress the tnsurrection, indulged tu by the more ignorant and bigoted Peninsulars, which compose a large class of the Spanish resi- denta, That the suggesilons contained in the man)- festo will ever be carried out is scarcely within the bounds of possibility, as the requisite unity caunot be attained; that they shovid ever have been made fa indicative, Among the changes in administration recentiy made in the island the more portant is the resig- mation of Genera! re from comamand at Santiago de Cu 8 oficer has been made whe victim to that sentiment aniong the Catalans and others which demanded indiscriminate slaughter. It 4s true that under La Torre's administration the num- ber of executions have been such in Santiago as to astonish the world, several Aiericaus, as will be revollected, being incladed in the number; yet, as is and well known, he ordered tuese with reluctance, Ddecause, amid the turbDylence and bioodthirstin of the volunteers, it would not have been safe to do otherwise, A ci ‘acy to displace him in favor of Palaclos was discovered some little ume since, the fallore of which was only ributabie to a colonel of one of the volunteer organizations, ‘The Gover- nor wae subsequently on bis guard at ail times, and, relying upon his artillery, was determmed to mow the conspirator: with grapeshot. in case of attack. He was personally desirous of leaving, but was determined not to be driven out, With his withdrawal tie command of Valmasedsa 18 extended over the entire Kastern Department. He Ja very popular with the more bloodthirsty volun- teers, a8 daring the msurrection he has spared none. His famons proclamation against women foun way from their homes, ordering the destruction of all abandoned houses, and geriegpebe es geen a proof of guilt on the part of the natives, together with suspicion that he was privy to the Jig Mani massacre, while it has excited the odium oi the civilized world, bas endeared him to that large ciass of Spaniards who wouid close up the insurrection by killing every Cuban, irrespective of age or - In this con- nection I may repeat the current statement that Rodas was incimed to recall Vaimaseda on account ‘of the Jiguani affair, and that he was only prevented Syom 80 doing by the certainty of violeat outbreaks among the volunteers; and further, that he has tele- nor ges to Spain asking that Palacios, who was al- jowed {0 sail before the facts ot the massacre were known, be sent back, and that he will be tried by court martial, and if found guiity will be shot, Ap effort 18 now being made to create the belief that the rebels attacked the escort of the prisoners, during which the latter attempted to escape, and were shot. It will hardly succeed, however. Reliabie information has reached here from Santiago do Cubaj that previous to being shot several of the isoners were terribly beaten to make them con- fess and & number of their limbs were broken. The affair will be investigated by order of the govern- meat, bat it is more tuan propabie that a white- Washing report ayill be made for the credit of the ‘SBpanish aris. Numberiess reports are rife in reference to pro- posed action of the volunteers in the city, arising ut of their diseauisfaction with the course of De Rodas; but these evidently grew out of the threats and coarse talk of some of the disaffected ones, and have no other significance, The enilstment of volunteers for the fleld and the organizing of new battalious for home service con- tinue © attract the aitention of the government, buat no marked success waits upon its efforts. Four new regiments are projecied, of which the following hamed persons are to be colonels:—Sciiors Ignacio M. Zangroniz and Marnesto Pulido aniards), and Pedro Sotoionzo and Manuel Ajuria (Cubans.) The Foreign Legion, to be mostly composed of Germaus, Js til: being agitated, and a me if 18 called at the German Club rocm to-morrow cvening to consider the matter. It ineets with no great favor, a3 its only effect would be to exasperate the Cubans, with no oorrespouding benefit, A general conscription 13 still mooted, the Captain General desiring, as is stated, to raise 100,000 men, 60,000 of whom will be sent to the tel: Jeit to garnson the town. In Mat meetings were called to incite volunt fome 4,000 men expressed themselves ready asked for arms. AS a large proportion, however, were Cubans the request was not complied will. ‘The vigtlance of the government in bunting and arresting those connected witn the insurrection has very considerably increased of late. Much care is taken to prevent the circulation of news, especially from the United States, aud passengers arriving are subject to the moat careial serutiny. The opinion 13 entertained that thore still exists in Havaua a branch of the Junta Cubana, and great efforts are being Made to ascertain of whom it fs composed. Certain rs. men suspected of introducing from tho United States newspapers in the interest of the in- Snrrection continue in close confinement, aithongh no ers of the character meutioned were found. m the scat of War information reaches us that Shat there is much distrust of the colored militia. Upon the arrival of Puello at Puerto Prine!pe some those who had been in the insurrection joiped him on account of his color. {t was afterwards dis- covered that some of them were in communication Biih the insurgents, and a part have been sent to Villa Vara and others disbanied. Insurgent parties are still roving about Colon, but avoil any encounter with the troops.

To-day there Is @ great indux of people here from SiNeriba, owing to the appearance in that locality of Policarpto Rurtap, who, having apparently re- covered from his reported disastrous defeat by the Governor of Guantanamo, has whipped a detach- ment of volunteers of that district.

CITY P The Campaign Fairly Opened=The Fight Over the Speils=Tammany Tactice—A Threatened Rapture~The Democratic Union Party—The Tammany Slate. The great fight over the numerous offices to be filled in the coming fall election is now being waged ail along the whole line, from the posts of honor on tue extreme right to the less important positions on the extreme left, Tho rage for oilice ts spreading with unprecedented speed and to a frightful extent. The political elements are mm consequence greatly disturbed and threatentng in appearance. Through- out all the wards of the city the ery for ofice is going up, and notiing night after night is heara but the clamors of contestants preseating and advocat- log their claims upon the great unwashed whose Votes and support it is their object to secure, Notwithstanding the great number of offices to be filled not one in hundreds of those who are entered already in the ferent contests can hope to reach the goal, A iuror for seeking unattainable places is prevalent. The whole of the young democracy of Manhattan Islan‘l is up for office and eager for clec- tion day. ‘They ure all seemingly acting on the idea ‘That it ts better (o have run and lost Than never to haye ran at all, The desire for place somewhere or anywhere has become a sort of epidemic, and its ravages must, of course, be fatal to great numbers. This universal office hunt has greatly complicated matters political; so much 80, that it would be utterly 1mpossible to give a complete list of the can- didates seeXing nominations to the justiceship va- cancles, the Assembly, to the Aldermanic and Assistant Aldermanic boards, for School Trustees and other places, to say nothing of the candidates to the Ligher judiciary vacancies and for the Sena- torial nominaiious. It is said that the darkest hour of the night is that Just before the dawn. The politi- cal muddi¢ has about reached its climacteric, Peter Bismarck Sweeny, who arrived home yesterday eve- ning, with his magic wand, evolve something like order out of this political chaos. At present, how- ever, it 1s impossible to speculate with any degree of certainty npon those whose claims are really de- serving of recognition for the various offices on the Tammany slate for which they are candidates. At present the fight 1s principally waged in the va- rious wards over the Aldermanic and Assistant Al- dermanic slates, and for local offices. The extended term which the present Aldermanic Board have en- joyed through a change In the taw, itis urged by their opponents ought to be enough to satisfy their long- ings, and 1t is also felt that if they didn't make a big thing ol it in wae time they have been a Board, they ought to make roola—if not for honester men, at all events for those who are prepared to goin “on the make” and muke ali they can on the shortest notice. Yhere are a great many diverse and petty interests to reconcile and harmonize m making @ slate for these ward oifices, and the captains and subaiterns to whont this work shalibe entrusted will navea hard time of it. TAMMANY TACTICS. Tammany never was so powerful as at tne pre- sent time, 0 far as hostile organizations go. ‘the leaders having to all intents and purposes overcome or driven out of the fleld all party competitors she is nevertheless burdened with serious disruptions her own ranks, The threatening attitude of aspirants after oflce within her own ranks trom the numerous ofices at tie disposal of the leaders, and trom the fact that tor these ofilces there is little or no opposition froin the party with witch they had had heretoiore the severest con- teation, In @ square stand up fight Tammany conid take her position epg but now is assailed on all sides by her own followers, ali eager for oiice id determined torme or ruin. ‘The pariy 1s from us cause threab- ened with dissensions within her own ranks far more dificult to silense or remove than to light her Way turough the opposing ranks of formidavie rivals, Serious splits over these offices are threat eued on every side, The German element demands an unusual suave of oficial plunder and will not be satisiied without the failest recognition of their claima. On the other hand the Ir~h element, which has always had the lion's share of the spoils, is not likely to forego its almost prescriptive rights in the distribution of the loaves and dshes, Here is a serious difficulty to overcome. Up to the present tune the rival factions have been hard ai work throughout the wards, making slates, appointing to offices aud preparing for the great siroggie that will be toitiasted by the chief of Tammany, Peter Bismarck Sweeney. Taminany’s tactics will then be to setile with the best grace all those contending fac- tions within t '¥ dud to put herself in a position to carry the S With a democratic majority in both houses of Legislature, which from all ay pearances Tammany wil secure, the leaders will iay their pipes to carry out the grand programme fot J Presidential contest of 1si2, T strategy Known t be brought into play, and to secure this grand point the luitiative move will be made in the coming cai- paign here in the city, TAMMANY WARD ORGANIZATIONS are forming in ail the wards ot the city, all the leaders of Wiieh, though per sé, are in the lammany interests, are strougly and undiuchingiy opposed to & renomiustion of present incumbents.

TRICKY SPIRITS. A Spiritualistic Seance Bleecker Street | Last Evening. Asplritaal séance was held at No. 61 Bleecker street Iast evening, the sensation of the unearthly occasion being @ boy named Hough, about.sixteen years of age, who claims the city of Hartford, Conn., as his birthplace. The “mantfestations,”” as the experimental sleight-of-hand and magical tricks that were done during the evening were vul- garly called, took place in a swall room, which was kept in the most unpleasant state of dark- ness, while the spirita did their best to pull the wool over the eyes of the skeptical: who were present, by the way, in not very great numbers, In fact, exclusive of & HERALD reporter, there was an audience of eight persons, seven of whom professed to be fuily versed in all that-was spiritual. The boy Hough, a bright looking lad, with not the slightest sign of having any particular liking for spirits about him, was seated tn au ordinary wooden chatr, beside @smalltabie on which there was a tin trampet, three iron rings of different sizes and several long pieces of rope. The séauce began in the usual way, that ts to say, that the lght was put out, after a young gentleman of a very in- eredulous turn of mind had ted the boy’s hands so that he (the incredulous yeuny man) felt confident that the spliits would have a tard time of it in get- ting the victim out of his knotty situation. A silence of death prevatied alter the gas had been lowered, but it was broken every now and then by the heavy breathings of the boy, Who was evidently getting fits from tle spirits In some way or another, or erspiring very freely to “know the ropes,’ y which he was bound, which was the more probable fact, When some light had been thrown on tiie subject, the victim was revealed completely freed trom bis toils, and the ropes lay scattered abous the flooy. lie was again tted, dark- ness again hid the spirits’ movements from mortal eyes, and again, Ou the light being lt, was he dis- oovered untied. One of the iron mings py some means or auotier (probably by aid of the same mys- terlous power which everyday magicians call to thelr assistance iu their “mantfestations”) got on one of Ins arms, between the shoulder and the hand that was tied to iis leg, and a ring that was placed in his mouth was found on one of his fingers when the darkness was dispelied by the light. How or by what hg be the boy managed to do these fete) or ratner how the apirits did them, is a rather tick- lsh question, which Herrman or some other wizard might very easily make plain to the unsophisticated for a consideration. Indeed, the incredulous young man already referred to, contended that he had seen Robert Heller do the same tricks without the aid of “foreign powers,” but an enthusiastic lover of spirits present, indignantly denied that Heller could do anything of the kind, and offered to bet $100 to $50 that he was right in luis opinion. The in- eredulous young mun suggested that he wasnt a betting man, aud that good spirits couldn't possibly favor such immorality ag wagering, whereupon the spiritualist becaine inum and as silent on what he did know of the other world as Mumbler himself. It vas suggested, during the séanee, that the rings should be placed at the opposite end of the room to that where the boy, Hough, was seated; but his mother, Mrs, Stoddard, wouldn’t hear of such a thing, for, by taking the rings away from the table near which the coot sat, she claimed they would be put “out of the circle of the spirits’ influence,” which was considered a very learned remark by the spiritualistic audience, who shook their heads wise- ¥, as if to say, “gospel trath, every word of it.) ut the incredulous young man actually grinned, and was heard to chuckle immediately when the gas went down. There is one thing about the whole séance which should be said, and that is that the tying up and the untying with the ropes were very cieverly done by the spirits, although Hough seemed to perspire very freely under their operations, which some people might think a strong indication that he himself had to work very hard to get out of his tied position. The trumpet, it should be mentioned, was also used by the spirits, but the voice was suspici- ously like that of Hough. The HERALD reporter had the inexpressibie satisiaction of getting hit over the knees tn the dark by the trumpet, and got so badly scared that he lett a8 soon as the séance Was over.
