The Sceretary of State has issued his proc- lamation, and the Fifteenth Amendment is a part of the Constitntion. Negroes can now vote everywhere on the same terms as whites, The first State in which the Amendment will be put into practical opera- tion is Connecticut. This opens a glorious field for the display of strategy on the part of the Democracy, The contest in that Stat Jasharp, and probably a thousand votes will turn the scale, There are about fifteen hun- dred colored electors in the innd of steady habits.

Jewett, Now, let Gov.

It will secure his election, and make him a prom nent candidate for the Presidenc thus take the wind out of Senator Hin. pRicks’s sails, who, in his Now Orleans epeech, showed that he is trimming his can vas to catch 900,000 nigger votes. There is no time for delay, If Gov. Ex Lisit hesitates, let Mesare. EATON and Bunn of Hartford, Mr. WarKen of New London, the eloquent Democratic candidate of State, and Mr. T. L. PAuMEL ven, a man of first-rate common sense, bring him to the scratch at once. If Gov. ENouisit will do this, his congratulations of the great Tween, at Albany, on Monday, will be re- turned by BiG Six in person on Tuesday next. He may aes Hamilton Fish. On the 18th of October, 1869, Mr. Haatr. fon Fisu, in a despatch to Mr. Lorrz Ropert Spanish Minister in Wash ng- ton, says: * The civil war in Cubs has continued for a year; Dattle after battle has been fuuglt,wud thousands OF ives eacrificod “ RIQuELENE, one of the ablest modern wri {nternational Lu (one for whom the world is indeb! ©@1 (0 Spain), says "that foreign intervention in ¢ Wars may 6 exeusable when the interests of hu ty evidently require it, or when the essential inter ests of a State ure injured by the civil war of a neigh- boring power.” If these words emanated from a conscien- tious man—addressed as they were by an American Secretary of State to the represen: tative of the Spanish Government—they can have but one interpretation. They declare that civil war exists in Cuba, and define the grounds upon which this Government might interfere ; and further, inasmuch as Mr, Ropents was likely to be at least as well informed as Mr. Fist of Rigvense’s lan- guage, they state the grounds upon which this Government will interfere. If, therefore, we are to take these words of Mr. Fisit as anything but an empty threat, intended sim- ply for purposes of intimidation, and never designed to be carried into execution, all that Femains to be ascertained is whether or not the cases have arisen in Cuba under which in- D tervention is not only allowable, but obligato. ry. In the words of Riqurtme—first ; Do the interests of humanity require it? and second- ly: Are our own essential interests injured by the neighboring civil war in Cuba? If cither of the above interrogatories can, beyond disproof, be answered in the affirma. tive, Mr. Fiem must do his utmost to top the war in Cube, or he will stand as an empty bonster, a disgrace not only to his position, but to the whole American people. Mr. A. E. Puriuips, acting United States Consul at Santiago, writes, under date of June 18, 1869, to Mr. Pun, the United States Consul-General at Havana : The American citizens here will be left without Protection, and the American Mag dishonored, unless Atepa ure iuken to have a vessel of war ort which I deem of the utmost importance, Had there Deen one, SYEAKMAN Would not have been stot and hurled into eternity, and his mutilated remains dumped trom 4 @alied cemetery, On the 19th of June Mr, Puri.irs writes to Mr. Prump “The cc nian vol dust oul cart like an animal at the so utry Is in conplete anarchy; the Catalo- We eannot erjoy petronsl salety here un’ fome foreign bower hteriies. ® # © T therefore Vessel of war at this moimont be stationed, here to protect the lives and propery’ of the Amer!

Well authenticated cases of outrage and murder committed upon helpless old men, women, and children in every part of the island occupied by Spanish troops, have been published in all the American papers, Mr, Fisit is perfectly cognizant of all theso facts, If, therefore, after his despatch to Mr. Rovents, he still hesitates to interfere by re- coguizing the belligerency of the Cubans, ho tacitly admits that the interests of humanity are not violated by wholesale murders of un- armed and inoffensive persons ; and that it is not injurious to the interests of America that her citizens be taken prisoners and shot down without trial and without communica tion with their Consul; or that our own Consul be driven from his house by a gang of armed ruffiant We arraign Mr. Fist on his own words. The judgment will be pronounced by the people of the United States and by history. asia Manicrre’s Little Pickings. Mr. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN MANIE! one of the four Commissioners of Metropoli- tan Pol'ce. By virtue of his office he is also member of the Board of Health, and member of the Doard of Fee'es, By the election of hie colleagues be is Treasurer of the Board of Health, and Treasurer of the Board of Ex-- Mr. MANIERRY’s salaries, as fixed by law, are: As Police Commissioner, $8,000 a year; as member of the Board of Health, $500 a year; as member of the Board of Excise, $1,500 a year; as Treasurer of the Board of Health, $500 a year; and as Treasurer of the Board of Excise, $1,500 a year. Total, $12,000. The salary of Police Commissioners was formerly $5,000. Notwithstanding that the Board of Police had just passed a resolution forbidding any member of the force from going to Albany to ask for an increase of pay, Messrs, MANIERRE, BRENNAN, and Henny Sain found means to obtain from the Legislature an act raising the salaries of themselves and their fellow Commis- sioner, Boswonti, to the present figure, In 1867 they had procured the insertion in the tax levy for this city of a clause allowing Mr. MANrERRE the $1,500 we have men tioned above asthe salary of the Treasurer of the Board of Excise. In addition to all these salaries, Mr. MA- NIERRE claims, and has just been allowed, the further sum of $5,178 for past services as Treasurer of the Board of Excise, and has Leen voted the further sum of $1,500 a year in addition to his previous salary of $1,500, making his total official emoluments $13,500 a year, ‘The pretext upon which this extra $1,500 is claimed and allowed is that the first $1 was intended as compensation for ts care of the excise moneys derived from this city alone, and that the Treasurer was justly entitled to an equal sum in addition for keeping the excise moneys collected outside of this city! ‘That is to say, an official who already gets $12,000 for duties which permit him to spend weeks and months at Albany in lobbying bills through the Legislature, is to have $1,500 more because somo of the money he fingers comes from outside of the city of New York! When we chai is 100 mon- RRE is ing terized this transaction a few days ago as stealing, Commissioner Boswonrtit promptly moved for an. investi- gation of the facts, He could do this, and did do it, with clean hands. It is a matter of record that he indignantly refused a check for $1,000 which was voted him at the same time that the $5,178 was voted to Commissioner MAaNniexnre. The official re- port of the investigating committee was published in full in yeaterday’s Sun; but if our readers can see in it any justification of Mr. Manrerne’s frapacity, it is more than we have been able todo, On the same prin- ciple that he takes the $5,178 and the an- nual $1,500, he might take a gratuity of ,000 and an annual allowance of $15,000, or any other amount, By the way, the report of the investigating committee omits to mention who were present at the meeting or meetings when these sums were voted to Mr. MANIERKE. Why is this? There is also no reference to 8 previous opinion of Mr. Donan B, Eaton to the effect that this action was illegal, but only to a second opinion, in which Mr. Eaton is enid to have approved it. These are significant facts, and ought to have been set forth. As the case now stands, Mr, MANIERRE has proved himself perfectly qualified for the new appointment as Police Commissioner which Taxpayer TWEED has bargained to rive him in the new Democratic Commis- sion = ——_ Why Not? Bio Six is now master of the situation. ‘Pho scalps of the Young Democracy hang at his eapacious belt.

We nominate Boss Twren for the Presl- dency. He bas the material means, and in 1872 the election will require money. Gvoxor Francia Tratn, the Fenian candi- date, goes into the canvass with five millions cash in his pockets. Twrrp is the man to mect him, He took a million to spend in his battle with the Young Democracy, and he has spent it like a hero, In 1872 he will be the only man who can match TRarn’s five millions; and if ten millions should be required, he can put it up and stick it in the tax levy. This is an advantage he has over all other candidates, Let everybody then go in for the Cesar of the New York Democracy. Big 81x for President! illliinian Don’t be too Suret The Young Democracy are beaten in their great fight. Some of them are slain, Some are captured, But some of them still live; and truth compels us to testify that there is fight in them yet. They have struck a gallant blow for reform, For this the city and the State owe them a debt of gratitude. The movement could not have proceeded from any other part of the Democracy. The reform has been defeated by money and Republicans. But the Young Democrats form a majority of the party in this city, and when the right time comes they will show their power. Ee Some say that the Hon, Tuomas Mureny will soon succeed the Hon, Mosea H, Qnixseut as Collector of this port, Others declare that Gen. Purasoxtox, who has just taken the place of Mr. Dartey, will presently take that of the Good Old Man also, We don't believe it, Not that a change in the Custom House from ine pecity to capacity would not much increase the revenue, and benefit the Republican party ; but that is not the object in view, Gen, Grant ina candidate for recleetion, Mr, Grixwetn is said to be blind to many things which a Collector ought to see, But he is now a Grant man, and nothing se, Me will probably serve out his full term, ee “ But no witness shall ever be detained longer than ten days without his own consent.” Such is one provision of Taxpayer Tween's new charter. We have more than once denounced our present system of detaining witnesses as an outrage upon the civilization of the age. So Twrep takes advantage of this to let loose all the witnesses now detained, and to secure the acquit- tal of a score of rascals who are awaiting trial, Can any one tell us what pet of Tween's and Hase Switn's it is who can find no other way to escape justice in this city except by getting the Big Indian to put such a clause into his new charter? Gossip about the City Hall says this clause is for the benefit of a murderer or two.

Pio Nexo, abscrbed in the cons templation of things divine, must be pardoned for overlooking the fact that, in this go-abead age, promptness of decision is one of the most important conditions of success, The public mind, accustomed to cable despatches and a suc- cession of startling events, is apt to turn away from any matter that has lost its spice of fresh- ness, and to look clsewhere for amusement, Hence, the pulpit orators have already supplanted in public attention the doctors of the Council, though the latter are entitled to the credit of having opened the discussion. If Pio Noxo's Council should produce no other result than this, it would already have deserved the thanks of humanity for the stimulus it has thus offered to the interchange of ideas on so important a subject. leaden oes = Is Gov.

As the white land pirates have votes, and the Indians have not, the Western Congressmen who manage to control In- dian affairs #ide with the whites; and as there would be no use for an army without an Indian war, the regular officers of that anomalous institution in the republic always take the same side, Put Eostern men at the head of Indian affairs, and abolis's the army, and you would aye no more Indian wars, for the plain reason that the East has already robbed the Indians of all they could get, and have no fur ther interest in the plunder, except for railroad purposes.

Sin: I have recentiy addressed a memorial to Congress giving some of the writer's views resvect- ing the condition of Mexico, and of our interests in relation thereto, to which I beg leave to draw your attention, It {s clear to my mind that our country has much to enin in every way, both in Mexico and througli- out Christendom, by such @ manifestation of good will ns the memorial asks, independent of subse- quent beneficial results arising from the employment of capital thus encouraged to open the resouret that immense store! onse of wealth. Mexico ought to develop and to prosper, She ean not do so wittiout aid. ‘That aid ought to, and, as things are, I might almost say, must come from us. ‘The sooner it comos the better, It cannot come from a few, nor without organized effort. ‘The great tax-paying interests of our country loudly demand it, Peeause, unless speedily deve- loped under her own Government, we shail be forced to expenditnres on amount of which we eannot calculate, but the sure effect of which will be to increase the our taxation, ‘The hond-holding interests are equally bound to favor it, otherwise consequences will follow depre- clating our public reeurt ‘The shipping, commercial, and manufacturing in terests of our own country, and of the world, mast favor the development which promises to make Mexico an increased and paying consumer and cus- tomer. ‘Many important consequences of the policy urged in the memorial are, for brevity, undeveloped, Its effects will ultimately be: 1. To establish our primacy in the Western con tinent in the hearts of the Mexicans and of all the Spanivh-American Governments on the solid basis, Of Justice, qood will, and practical fraternity, 2 It will add to the dienity and etrength of our policy in the eyes of all nations, and give noble and beneticent interpretations to our Monroe doctrine, 3. It will open the doors of the New World to the e»pital, enterprise, and ce of the United States, and make it the commercial centre of the Western World, as England now is of tae East. 4. It will consolidate the public mind at home in favor of a new policy worthy of our fature, Bot to enlist organized capital to aid in this work demands @ nation’s voice of sanction and encourage- ment.
