All the nasty old contro. versies, political and personal, that have done him so much harm in former times, are cleared out ofthe way. He was very un popular a year ayo, on account of his stick ing to ANDREW JomN#ON, but that is quite forgotten. The events which have happened Binee the 4th of March, 1869, have set the Sage of Auburn up again in the popular estimation, and his philosophic, statesman. like speeches in California have given in terest to one of the dullest periods of our political history. Beyond all other living men, Mr. Sewann fs identified with the grand idea of uniting the whole North American continent under the Constitution of the United States. And ‘now that old party ties are loosened, if not en. tirely smashed up, men of all kinds have been Jooking about for a leader who would utter the word of the future, And Mr. Sewanp has uttered it!

He was now in the zenith of power, but short of cash. In order to heeome as wealthy as he was powerful, he secured i post of CaptainGeneral of Cuba. The Inst dozen Captains-General had realized the snug amount of about $3,000,000 each during the term of their respec: tive administrations. The only exception was Gen.

About ten minates after he had resumed packing lime, he seized a huge mallet used inthe operation, and stealthily creeping behind the keeper who had detected him, while he was bending down to inspect anothor barrel, the young scoundrel struck him a tremendous blow on the back, aiming at the spine. If the aim liad been true, the physician of the prison says that the keeper would have been in stantly killed, As it was, it missed only about ono inch, and the keeper was very severely in- jured, i ‘The punishment to which the fifty eon victs whom we have mentioned are subjected, is confinement ina light coll, with the leg chained to the floor by achain two feet long they are also fed bread and water only. When it is considered that they aro of a character similar to that of this young mur. derer, it becomes plain that the severity of the punishment is none too great.
