Gen, SicKLEs has already Presented the subject to the Minister for Foreign Affairs at Madrid, and two bulky telegrams have been roceived at Washing ton in consequence. The proposition which before Marshal Sen BANO and his asssociates i# as follo’ L Spain shall recognize the independence of Cuba under the overnment of Crs II. Cuba shall pay to Spnin an indemnity for the resignation of the rights hitherto exercised by the mother country, The amount of this indemnity to be specified in the treaty. IIL Tho indemnity, whether fixed at one hundred millions, fifty millions, or twenty- five millions of dollars, to be in bonds of the Cuban Government, payable with intercst at the expiration of a convenient period. IV, These bonds to be guaranteed by the United States. V. An armistice to be proclaimed between the patriots and the Spanish troops in Cuba, immediately upon the execution of the treat The island to be evacuated by the Spanish forces as soon as the treaty is ratified by the representatives of the Cuban people, and the guaranty of the bonds approved by the Con- gress of the United States, VI. If these terms are not at once accepted by the Spanish Government, the United Btates will without further delay recognize the independence of Cuba. This is substantially the schome which Mr. Fisit has caused Gen, SickLes to offer at Madrid. It is needless to say that if pro- posed to any previous Government of Spein, it would have been instantly rejected. But Yhero are reasons for #yposing that SERRA. Ko will accopt {In the first place, it was probaly sugsrosted by Mr. Rowrnrs, his en- voy at Washington; and in the second place, the wealthy Spaniards in Cuba are all In favor of it. Besides, Serrano ls awfully in want of money. His Govern- ment is ina most precarious condition, A monarchy without any possibility of selecting a monarch ; pressed by the partisans of one or the other branch of the Bourbons on one side, and menaced by the evident tendency of the nation toward republicanism on the other, fifty millions or twenty-five mil ions of merchantable securities would be an invaluable addition to their meagre and fading resources, and might possibly Buflice to keep them in power. Besides, they see as well as the rest of the world that they have effectively lost Cuba, and cannot got it back again. Why, then, refuse a few millions for whet they must otherwise soon surrender without any consideration at all? We judge that Sxxnano will not decline a bargain which offers him such advantages, Bat will the Cubans agree to the project / Will they bind themselves to pay fifty ora hundred millions, or even twenty-five mil- lions, to a Goverument they hate, and which has made upon them a war so unjust, so truel, and so merciless? Will they consent bo the armistice which Mr. Fisu proposes they shall engage in? We believe not. Why should the Cubans pay any milions to Bpain for an island which in the natural pourse of things will be theirs for nothing within a year? Or who has presumed to pledge them to such payment? Certainly not President Cusrepes, for he was clected wolely to carry on the war of independence. Certainly not Mr. MonaLes Lemus, the only Cuban representative with whom Mr, Frsit has had any opportunity of conferring. It is plain that neither Cesrepes nor Lemus can have pretended to bind Cuba to any such con. ditions ; and that the proposition which Mr. Fisn has authorized Gen, SickLus to lay be. fore the Spanish Cabinet is one which will not satisfy the Cubans, and which they will feject ag soon as it is offered them, And how foolish they would be if they should agree to an armistice with an enemy who is almost on the point of exhaustion, and who will oon be obliged to abandon the field? The only policy for them is to push things, and that they will be likely to do, notwithstand- ing Mr, Fisi’s delusive negotiations: It iseven more probable that our Congress will reject the proposed guaranty of Cuban bonds. Why should we pay fifty millions for Cuba, or agree to do #0 in any contingeney ¢ When her people have gained their inde pendence, if they desire to be annoxed to the United States, we shall all be for letting them in on the terms of the most favor: nations. But that is no reason why we should pay Spain a great sum of moncy for the priviloge of making one or two States of the Union out of her late eolony, Why should we give our money for that which, if we are to have it at all at present, we can got for nothing? It ia o curious fact that the leading Bpaniards in Cuba, and especially the rich ones, ure all very anxious for the arrangement devised by Mr. Fisu; and it Is in their interest that he is acting. They have now devastated that part of the island which is inhabited almost exclu- . wiyely by native Cubans, They have de- stroyed their property and reduced them to _ poverty. In other parts they have confiscated and gold the estates of every patriot, They have muntered men, women, and children, dered are about to gain the upper. hand everywhere, they propose to save themaelyes and their riches by the intervention of the United States. It would doubtless be pleasant for them to remain wealthy and powerful while the Cuban patriots are re- duced to misery and impotence; but it takes two and sometimes more to make a bargain. There was a way of treating the Caban question whieh would have bean worthy of the occasion and of this country. It was to sup- port tho revolution which the Cubans began so nobly by proclaiming the emancipation of six handred thousand slaves—a fact without precedent in the history of revolutions. That policy would have been in harmony with the antecedents and the honor of the United States, But Mr. Fisn’s scheme to force a poople who, in the midst of the world’s in. difference, without any effective friendship anywhere, and with unexampled difficulties and sufferings, have brought their cause within sight of victory, into a practical sub- mission to those they have overcome, is not creditable to the stateamen who have de vised it, and is destined to a merited and conspicuous failure. - —— Strange Oaths. Can a jury believe a negro under oath? That question used to vex the public mind Among the things determined by the late war was the principle that @ black man is not necessarily a liar, and tho African has been legalized into a competent witness. Now comes the question, Can a Chinaman be believed under oath? No, says Culifor- nia. Yes, says Idaho, and admits him as a neas accordingly. ow your Chinaman is a fearful idolater, athen of the heathen, a worshipper of His achemo of salvation is a simple one, He constructs a hideous Jim Crow out of bamboo; this Le blackens, puts in glase beads for eyes, feta it up in a temple, and calls it the devil—which 1s the only gleam of intelligence shown in the whole proceeding, ‘Then poor John Chinaman goes down upon his marrow bones before his bamboo affair, and wallows upon the ground in an ecstasy of adoration, What is to be done with such a creature as this when he comes into a court of justice to tell the truth, the whole truth, Jose, pers afford a curions illustration of the mania for duelling which now pervades the aristocratic cir- cles of that city. Mademoiselle Manxowrrs, @ woman of the class usually described by that untranslatable word cocotts, is an attractive person to the members of the Jockey Club. In her elegant saloons the most accomplished swells assemble and hold high revel, and not unfrequently unpleasant differ- ences arise among them, leading to hostile meet- ings. Not long ago this lady found herself one even« ing at the Mabille Garden unattended, but soon se cured a cavalier in the person of Mr, Reainate Kessett, a scion of the noble house of Bedford, and anephew of Earl Rosset. While prome nading the garden the couple were confronted by the Vicomte de la Pomze, who toldgMr. Ressetu that he must resign the possession of the lady. Mr. Ressent, thinking that the Vicomte was suffer- and nothing but the truth? It is of no use to swear him on the four Evangelists. You might as well swear him by Apollo, God of Musie, or Thor, God of Thunder, or Hamlet, King of Denmark. He would take all three oaths, and then lie. The {ngenious judiciary of Idaho, however, have fixed him. They have dived into the philo sophy of Confucius, into the holy books of Lao-tse, into the Chang-Lung of the Bud- dhists, They have found that an oath ac companied with the proper Chinose ceremo- nies will strike terror into the inmost heart of the native of the Flowery Kingdom ; that though he may make light of the Christian Scriptures, burnt paper aud a dead rooster will wring the very truth from his secret soul. When, therefore, the case of Am Ciroy and An Sam, charged with the murder of Au Son, was called the other day at Silver City, and ten Chinamen came forward to testify in the matter, a most singular scene occurred. “Bring me @ rooster, a saucer, and some yellow tissue paper,” quoth the magistrate, “and prepare the sacrificial knife.” The Sheriff did his duty and unsheathed his bowie, ‘Che jurat was written upon the ye low paper, @ match applied, and the oath floated skyward in alittle cloud of smoke, @ testamentary witness to the trath Off went the rooster’s head, with a squeak of remonstrance from tho unhappy biped, the saucer was dashed upon the ground and broken into bits, typical of what would hap pen to John Chinaman if he told a lie, and the first witness was doclared duly sworn. ‘The ceremony was repeated with every wit ness, Ten roosters died under the Sheriff's knife, that ten Chinamen might tell the truth ; ten bits of yellow paper burst into blaze; ten good white saucers ken crockery. We are moved to consider the possible effect of all this on our own judicial system Who knows how soon we may have to try a Chinaman in our new Court House? or if not a Chinaman, then some other pagan—some Polynesian perchance, who recognizes the solemnity of an oath only when it is accom panied by the sacrifice of a kangaroo? How are you over to swear such a heathen as that? Who will repairto the wilds of Aus- tralia to procure the judicial beast? ‘The ancieat Greeks used to offer up young bullocks, and some of the numerous races who are emigrating to our shores may have adopted that form of outh, in which event cattle yards will have to be constructed in the Park, somewhere between the City Hull and the new Post Office, which Mr, Bout: WELL is going to build in spite of the Ring that tried to prevent it But, taking the matter in ita simplest form, ecame bro. and granting that nothing more complicated than roosters, saucer, and tissue paper is to be called for by way of sanction to an oath, still even these will entail their little incon veniences. Hen coops will have to be knocked up in the Special ‘Term rooms, and the tax levies swelled by items for broken crockery, yellow paper, and chicken feed. Our country Judges could in fact employ their leisure time during the summer to ac vantage in raising fowls for the purpose Judge Lovr, for instance, might find it an agreeable change from bobbing for eels, and besides, could turn an honest penny by sup- plying the Supreme Court for the Second Ju dicial Distr In fact, a8 soon as the Chinese sigration has fairly set in, we shall look for great changes in this direction a Seeretary BoeTWELL'S success in admin's toring the Treasury Department excites the envy and the admiration of European governments, ‘To the venerable titled fogies, who, with the aid of the most crushing taxes, either see a deficit of revenue year after year, or at best save ouly paltry surplus of # million or #0, the rapid redu tion of our national debt must be an astounding phenomenon, Let Mr, Bovrweu. beware, or he y be kidnapped as Isaac of York was by Front-de-Bosuf, carried across the ocean, and tortured into the revelation of the wonderful process by which be obtains his results, ea eb While the jeunesse dorée of England find their highest enjoyment in squandermg on the race course fortunes which it has taken centuries to accumulate, the corresponding class in France hi taken to reviving the ducllo of the old régime. It would seem that no young French- man of feshion can be considered to have estah- lished his reputation until be has had ove or move affairs of honor on his hands, Recent Paris pa ing from the effects of a protracted dinner, took no notice of him, until made aware by a “ sting- er’ on the mouth that he meant fight. He then struck him with his cane, and followed up the blow with his fists to such good purpose that the Frenchman, being no adept in the art of self-de- fence, was speedily knocked out of time. Nothing more took place between the Vicomte and Mr, Kussent, but before the irascible Freneh- man left the garden he contrived to get in . other quarrel with a Mr. Pewnerron Gavsp, who slapped his face, All the parties then rushed into the newspapers, and the succeeding issues of the Figaro contained caustic notes giving accounts, more or less varied, of the occurrences at the garden, Another person, the Baron de Maconrin, also became involved in the quarrel by describing the encounter between Mr, Rosseut and the Vi comte, and excusing himself for not having taken part in it on the ground bad already had a hostile meeting with the latter, for which he was hoartily ashamed. This pro voked @ rejoinder from the V upshot of the matter was that this fortunate gen- tleman ended by having three duels on bis bands, one with Mr, Russeut, one with Mr. Groxn, and 4 third with the Baron de Maxon The result of these encounters was awaited at our last ad- vices with breathless inter by the bean monde. ‘These, be it remembered, are the French young f the period, who are supposed to represent chest ‘intelligence, breeding, and decorum of the empire, ite, and the —— The name of James H. Coneman, Eeq., is now, without any instrumentality of his own, among the most prominent Democratic candidates for the vacancy on the bench of the Supreme Court, to be made by tho expiration of Judge Cixnie’s term of office, Mr. Coneman is a well- trained Jawyer, prudent, cautious, and well in- formed, For six years he drew nearly all the pleadings in tho office of Peren Caacen, Eaq., who was considered the best attorney in the State of New York. Mr. Coveman is best known aa a referee, and in that judicial capacity he has had an uncommonly large experience, and has re- ceived high encomiums from such lawyers Joux H. Rerxouvs, Daxien Lorn, and Joun K, Ponter. Not one of bis reporta as referee has ever been set aside. The main thing for a Judge is to got a fair, intelligent, clear-headed lawyer; and at present Mr. Coueman is in advance of all his competitora, casein Everybody is complaining of a great dearth of business, Stores are glutted with goods, and merchants are ready to sell on time to safe pur- chasers on their own terma, yet the customers do not come. Whether they are deterred by the torrid heats, want of confidence, or the lack of cash, we can’t say; but it strikes us, as things stand, they are rather short-sighted, In this sea- son of stagnation the forehanded man might well lay in his full and winter stock at the discount which he can always command at such atime. In addition to low prices ruling in mercantile cir- cles, the railway companies now, for want of freight, are putting their rates down to the very lowest figures. All of them take whatever offers, and so great is the seramble for the little bus- ness doing that shippers can send off their goods at less than @ quarter the cost of transportation in ordinary seasons, Such opportunities ought to stimulate country buyers to make their pur: chases now, while bargains can be had and freights are at the lowest ebb, A word to the wise is sufficient, i The World hos a telegram from Washing- ton stating that the war steamer Tallapoosa, which lately conveyed President Guant to Long Branch free of expense except to the country, will leave that city again in about ten days with y Roweson, Admiral Powter, and other Navy officials, on a tour of inspection to th Yards, Would it not be well for Congress when it meets to inquire into the utility of keeping a war steamer et a cost of a thousand dollars «day to carry these ofticials about on summer pleasure jounts? ‘To the tax-payers it all wears the ap- pearance of a sort of swindle, ee It is very unfortanate that the Hon.
