TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER ui, 1509. é ‘ The State of the Cuban Negotiations, We learn from Washington that Gen SickLEs has recently—on Wednesday last we believe it was—telegraphed from Madrid the Intest proposition in relation to Cuba, which the Government of Prim and Sen RANO has communicated to him to be trans mitted to Mr. Secretary Fis. The Spanish ralers substantially, though not in explicit tering, necept the United States Gover ment as the mediator between Spain and the revolutionary authorities of Cuba, and pro. pose to settle the revolution upon the fok lowing basis : 1. The revolted Cnbane to lay down their arme. Il. The Spanish Government to disarm and dis. band the volunteers, leaving Spanish regulars as the only troops in the island. 1iL A wniversal amuesty to be proclaimed, all exiies to have the right to return, political prisoners to be Ket free, confiseated estates to be restored to their former owners, and all persons deprived of ‘any civil rights for political reasons to be invested with them once more. TV. An election to be held im Cuba for deputics to the Spanish Cortes, V. The Spanish Exceutive Government to pledge Atself to support In the Cortes whatever settlement Of the Cuban question the deputies from Cuba may desire, If they want Independence, the Govern- ment will favor that; Hf they should decide in favor of 4 separate adiministration, with @ Governor ap. Pointed by Spain, a Legislature chosen in Cuba, and B responsible Ministry—the system now practised in the British colonies—the Government will bind itwelf to use its whole influence in the Cortes fovor of adopting that system We are not informed what reply Mr. Fisit has made to this project; but we do not think we can err in saying that he has de- Tt is quite as objection. cisively refused it, able and as foreign to his pol in Cuban affairs as a former proposal from Madrid, which he immediately rejected. In the first place, the Cubans will never lay down their arma on such conditions, To do so would be to give up without any tangi- ble consideration the great advanta- ges which at such sacrifices of life and property they have gained. It is true, they would got an amnesty and the return of their s ‘ated estates, but these they will soon obtain by foree of arms if they continue fight ing. It is also true that Print and Sennano. promise to support their demands in’ the Cortes; but if the Cortes should be against m, this will amount to nothing, and they will have to do it all over again. Of course Mr. Fist will not think of requiring the Cu bans to assent to any such disadvantageous lerms, He will rather at once direct Gen, SicKLEs to reply that the proposal is de- tlined, and that the only basis for negotiation is the proposition — that Spain shall recognize the independence of Cuba; that slavery shall be abolished ; that a mixed commission shall be appointed to determine the value of the public property in the island, which, however, shall not ex- teed $100,000,000, and for which Cuba shall pay; and thatthe United States shall guar autee the fulfilment of the contract by both parties. Such was his answer to a former Spanish memorandum, and such, we presume, will be his answer now, It is remarkable that while the leading journals of Spain very ably advocate the ces- sion of Cuba cither to the United States or to the Cubans, and while the public opinion of all Europe urges such a settlement of the controversy, the men who govern Spain whould continue to treat the question in a mode unsatisfactory and absurd, They must understand that it is for the in- verest of the Spanish people to get rid of Cuba on the best possible terms; and yet they dally around the subject as though they dared not deal with it in earnest. They ought to remember that the period of time in whieh they can hope to part with Cuba fora price is daily growing less, and that while negotia to that end is yet practicable, it will soon be a# much out of the question for Spain to sell Cuba as to sell Venezucla or Peru. — Who will be Judge in the First Diss trict t In November we are to ¢ the Supreme Court in this district, in plac of the Hon, Thomas W.

If we are correctly informed—and we think we are—a member of the President's Cabi- net at Washington received a letter a few days ago, informing him that a certain other member of the Cabinet would be obliged to resign goon, and return to the practice of his profession, unless a house in Washington were in ome way provided for him to reside in, with his family. The gentleman to whom this letter was addressed is Secretary Fisit, and the gontleman about whom it was w ton is Seerctary Cox.

What is to be done ? Why not return to the old-fashioned re- publican simplicity, when men were men for that and a’ that; when pomp and cireum- stance were less, and reality and solid worth were more? When Tomas JEFFERSON rode alone on horseback up to the old Capi- tol, and dismounted and tied his horse with his own hands, and walked inside to be sworn inas President of the United States? An oath which he meant to keep, too! Why not return to the primitive time when bribes were spurned and gifts disdained by public officers? When cheap living and a clear conscience were as respectable as all the paraphernalia and display of gamblers enriched from the public treasury, and riot- ing in wealth created by the sweat of the people?

No wonder that Eng- land is anxious for peace and universal free trade. saltaetust ct A correspondent inquires why the seven. teen hundred Cubans, more or less, who serenaded the Peruvian Minister last Friday night, don’t go to Cuba and fight, instead of staying here avd amusing themselves, The great reason, as we understand it, is that Secretary Fisn and Marshal Banvow won't let them go. If « small number of Cubans should club together to hire a schooner or a steamboat, to return to their native island at economical rates, they would be arrested and put in prison until they promised not to leave our shores. A few weeks ago a company of young fellows of small means had hired a house in West Hoboken, so that they might live there cheaply until they could get a chance to go home; but the Marshal came down upon them after mid- night and took them all prisoners like a gang of counterfeiters, He inarched them down to the ferry under a guard of marines, and then, having worried them sufliciently, let them retui again, all in order to prevent their going to Cuba to fight against slavery. With such obstacles in their way, it is not surprising that there should be so many Cubans in this country, and we trust our correspondent will understand that they do not remain here by any fault of their own, yma. ; ‘aammamelisars The State Convention To-morrow, The Democrats meet in State Convention at Syracuse tomorrow, to nominate the fol lowing officers : A Secretary of State, In the ee of Homer A, Nel ‘A Comptrotier, tn the place of Willian F, Allen; A Treasurer, tithe pace of Wheeler H.
