Among the leading Republicans whose course in the last Legislature has blasted their prospects of future political advance- ment in this State, the Hon, De Wrrr C. Litr.esoun of Oswego stands preéminent. This gentleman had a well-founded right to regard himself as in the foremost ranks of his party in Now York. Endowed with con spicuous abilities, he has been a member of the Assembly ten or a dozen sessions, and five or eix times Speaker of that body. Hi is a closo observer of men and events, is well versed in commere'al affu'rs, has a flue presence, is urbane and personally popular, and has a ready command of that sort of elocution which gives {ts possessor an unusual degree of influence in the more nunnerous branch of our Leg'slature, With these qualities, united to so ripe an experience in pablic affairs at the State cap ital, it isnatural that Mr. Livriesomn should have been regarded by the Republ as ita leader in the should himself have be its candidate for Governor in the aut 1 contest. But his course in. respect to som: of the cardinal que ch came befor: tho Legislature not only disappointed his party, Lut has made it to the last degree in expedient that Le should be its nominee, ‘here was never a clearer line of policy traced Lefore a miuority party than that marked out for the Republicans of the Le; lature by the controversies among their oppo- nents in that body Like the Whigs on many #:ilar occasions during the quarrels itween the Barnburners and the Hunkers, the RepuLticans should have encouraged the weaker faction by their voices and their votes, It was in thie mode that the Whigs, after their overthrow in 1841, regained power in the State, and held it for more than half the time down to the formation of the Repub- lican party, thus crippling and finally com pletely prostrating the most powerful politi cal organization in the Union, But, disregardir ve lessons of the past, the Republicans in the Legislature, from tho inception to the close of the bitter contest Letween the factions of their opponents last’ wint'r, invariably and ostentatiously gave their moral and numerical support to the stronger faction, Thus they enabled 'Tam- many Ilall to promptly crush out the Young Democracy, upon whose continued quarrel with Tammany rested the only hope of a triamph of the Republicans next autumn. And foremost among the Pepublicans who devised and carricd through this stupid, das. tardly, disgraceful surrender of their party tothe Tammany Democracy, stands the tall, swarthy figure of De Wirr C. Litriesonn. Corruption rather than cowardice, venality rather than stupidity, are generally assigned asthe causes of this surrender, ‘The van- tage ground whereon the Republicans stood was, It isopenly charged, abandoned to the Democrats in pursuance of a corrupt bar- gain, or series of bargains, whereby some of the Republicans in the Legislature received cash ; sme recelved promises of{Democratic support for their pet schemes, such as an appropriation of a million anda half of dol.

Tc is raid that one of the witnesses in the McPautanp trial, an expert, received fifteen hundred dollars for his testimony, Patent lawyers and suitors in the United States Dig trict and Circuit Courts are familiar with the fact that expert in mechavics and me- chanical and chemical processes, when culled os witnesses in patent cases, lavariably re- co ve feos, which in part represent the value of their knowledge, and in part the worth of their time, The customary feo of theso cx- perts is fifty dollars ad Wedo not lke the system which makes the. payment of compensation to w.tnosses Ln. Q trial at law todepend on arrang nt with ® party to the gut, It is not possible to wholly avoid the relation of hired to hirer when a witness receives money from prisoner or prosecution, from plaintit? or defendant, to testify to the truth of certain controverted facta, Inevitably he will lean to the side from which he receives pay. He getaa ben efit from that side, and it is notin human nature to damage it with the whole of the truth that is in him, if he has to testify against it, nor is it in human nature to hold between the oppi@ing sides just and even scales of testimony. The paid witness inevitably is # partisan, bo The law in this country offors a sufficiently perilous remedy for wrongs to property and persons, without having its methods deterio- rated hy engrafting upon them the hiring of witnesses, As soon as practicable we should find an escape from this threatening evil by adopting the new English system of allow. ances, Tho masters of the several courts in England are the taxing officers therein. In their sllowance of costs, the masters are in- variably guided by the eminence, professional skill, and full employment of the subpoenaed witnesses. For example, the following fees per diem are allowed to the different witnesses who reside in the town in which the case is tried: Common laborers, And these fees, if the witnesses reside at a distance from the trial These allowances are samples merely of a scale which comprehends all callings and all tanks of society, and which is based on the value to the witness of his time and his ability to earn money. The spirit of the rule may be fully appreciated from the allowance of extra expenses made to witnesses whose age or infirmities oblige them to take nurses with them to the place of trial, or to travel by private conveyance if they aro unable to endure the joumey by public conveyance. So, if a woman having an infant is obliged to take it with hertothe place of trial, or if she is obliged to take with her ler baby’s nurse, the taxing officers allow her the reasonable expenses of both child and nurse, and they enter into the costs of the suit, This rule should be adopted in this country, in both criminal and civil cases, The allow- ances to all witnesses should be large enough to compensate them for the interruption of their business; to experts it should bear a reasonable proportion to the cost of their education, or the value of their peculiar knowledge. ‘Then it should by statute be made a felony to eccept money from cither side ina trial, as an inducement to testify, or as a reward for evidence. bssthaeh sida - Mr. Phillips ana n, Jordan in Wash- ington. Mr. A. E. Pur.ips, lately Consul of the United States at Santiago de Cuba, is now on his way to Washington, and Gen. Jonpan, who was recently commander-in-chief of the Cuban forces, is already there. From these emen the two Houses of Congress, and den, GRANT also if he chooses, may learn wuch of the real state of things on the sland, ‘The organization and the class of persons composing the Spanish volunteers of Cuba can be described by Mr, Parwiirs. Their entire control of the town of Santiago, and their utter lawlessness and insubordination, must be the only excuses he can offer for not landing there from the Severn, Either he must prove that there was ample reason to Velieve that his life woald not have been spared by them on his return, or both he and Admiral Poor will stand before the country insuch a light that while he may be allowed to slink away unnoticed, Admiral Poon must, in self-defence, demand an official ex- amination to clear his character. As the case stands at present, the American people be- lieve that Admiral Poor has allowed their flag to be ignominiously insulted, without exacting, or even demanding, satisfaction. As to the condition of the Cuban Republic, whether there is or is not an organized army of Cubans in the field, and whether thero is or is not a legitimately constituted govern. ment which enacts and executes its laws in the yreater part of tho island of Cuba, the testimony of Gen. Jonvan can hardly fuil to be conclusive to all unprejudiced men. The people of this country are deeply in- terested respecting this Cuban war, and the atrocities going on at our doors, They are also moved not only by the abandonment of our old principles of helping neighbors strug- gling for liberty, but by the adoption of the new and opposite principles by which the Ad- ministration has assisted a European mon. archy endeavoring to crush liberty on this continent. And this same American people, North, South, East, and West, always so ager to express their sympathics in any cause of this nature, are beginning to think that the toleration with which they have al- lowed tho Washington Cabinet vw smother the popular feeling has been grossly,abused. ‘The evideuco of both Mr. Puiiirrs and Gen, JonDAN should be given in Washing- ton, not in secret sessions or private au- diences, The whole country is directly and carnestly concerned in this matter, ae FEspartero King of Spain, The managers of the Spanish Gov ernment have determined to make Gen, Espanreno King of Spain. ‘This is perhaps the only clinggthey could do undomeie present elreum- stances, Esranreno is now more than seventy-cight years old, and has been living in retirement since 1857. Ue is the son of ame- chanic, and began as a common soldier in 1808. In 1841 he became Regent during the minority of IsApELLA IL; in 1843 he was driven from Spain by a revolution under Nanvarz, and fled to England; in 1854 another insurree- tion placed him at the head of the QGovern- ment. He remained in power only two years, when his administration broke down, and in 1857 le resigned his office as Senator, and since then has been very little heard of, ‘The ehoice of this superannuated old man for King is the most conclusive evidence of the desperate straits to which Pruiat and his associates aro now reduced, It is more than # year and a half since they succeeded in ex- pelling Isapenta; and their new Constitu- tion Las Leen in force over year, During Aka period they have offered the crown to every cligible prince in Europe, but no one has had the courage to accept it, The treasury of thelr Government is utterly Dankrupt, and its current revenue is not half enough to cover its daily expenditures, ‘They havo seized the property of every hos- pital and every charitable foundation in the kingdom, undertaking in return to supply the incomes which these institutions had previously derived from their endowments ; but not one cent of this sacred debt havo they been able to discharge. Tho hospitals are closed, and public charity in Spain is brouglit to an efid through this failure Spain fs thus npor the verge of bankruptcy ; and anarchy the most universal and the most dangerous is very imminent. This anarchy must necessarily be more destructive and more indomitable from the alisence of any funetionnry or any person at the hend of affairs to whom tle people can look with a sentiment of respect. ‘This extremo donger Prim and Serrano now endeavor to avert by elevating Esranteno to the nominal dignity of King. ‘The situation is the Most critical that ean be imagined, and the remedy they have adopted would seem to bo entirely inadequate. ‘The new King will have no power but theirs, and all th world will regard him as merely their in- strument. His name and prestige will not Avail to cover the imbecility of age; and the only difference will be that when Pruat and SrRRano are finally flung overboard by the nation, a helpless octogenarian will go with them, After all, tho great difficulty in the recon- struction of Spain is that her present revo- lutionary rulers are mere scamps, destitute of principle, destitute of real patriotism, and Dent only upon aggrandizing and enriching themselves at the exponse of their unhappy country. For that country we can see no future but anarchy, civil war, and social corruption, until men of honesty and capa- city aré brought to the surface, and enabled to grasp the reins of power. ro An Old Story. The following is an old story, but an ex- ceedingly good one, and timely : There was once an individual named SaMm- son Hanpnean, whose ideas of honesty were very loose, but who managed to keep out of the hands of the constable, and to be toler- ated to some extent among respectable people. One night Sasson camo home in a state of furious excitement. ‘To the great aston'shment of his wife, he rushed into the house foaming with passion, boxed all the children’s ears, upset the furniture, kicked the dog, threw the cat out of the window, smashed his knuckles against the wall, tore his hair and gnashed his tecth, presenting a pitinble exhibition of impotent and unavail- ing rage. Then he sat himself dowa iu tho corner and fell to cursing. When he had somewhat relieved his mind by these extravagant proceedings, his wife, who had watched lis movements in great amazement and anxiety, timidly approached him and inquired what had happened to pro- voke him to such violent and unseemly wrath, “What has happened ?” shouted Satsox, jumping up and pacing the room with enor. mons stric “TN tell you what has hap- pened, Down at Joe Gret grocery to- night, Col. Siar alled me a thief! Yes, called me a thief before the whole crowd of ‘em.” “Never mind that, dear,” reeponded his wife soothingly ;“ you know he can’t prove it.” “The devil take it!” cried Samson, beleh- ing out another volley of curses—* the devil take it all, he did prove it, and that's what's the matter.” ——____— The Portuguese have a peculiar knack for getting ridof an obnoxious administration, Led by aman ninety years old, they call with a num. ber of armed soldiers upon the ministers, turn them out of office atthe point of the bayonet, and the King charges the successful insurgents with the care of forming a new ministry. What would Fis and Roneson say if Gov, Sewanpand Mr. Gintox Weutas were to pounce upon them with @ posse of men, eapture them, and then be in- stalled in thelr offices by Gen. Guaxt? Happily, such things can’tbe done uuder our form of government, Nobody is allowed to take the law into his own hands; and it is only in semi-civilized countries that mob law can thus prevail. Free institutions thus have their sufferings as well as their blessings; and who, in looking upon the vagaries of Fist and Bonesox, would not secretly pray for halfan hour of Sanpanma, if such a prayer were compatible with law and order? But after all, our way is better, It is more wholesome to submit to Fisn and Bopeson for while longer, than to take the risks of a rivt, such as has revolutionized the government of Portugal. Any way, the King of Portugal is a very poor stick indeed, Se The last victim of the Havana volunteers was Ricanpo Casanova, a native of Villa Clara, who was shot on Friday last in the ditch of the Cabafa fortress, This man had served in the patriot ranks in his own district in the commence- ment of the revolution, but, owing to some trouble between himself and his men, laid down his arms and presented himself in March, 1809, to Gen, Lurowa, His life was then guaranteed to him; but now, after keeping him in prison gome thir. teen months, during which his privations and sué ferings have been intense, he is, without trial or even any charge adduced, shot solely to appease the volunteers’ lust for blood, In relentless bar- barity and refinement of eruelty this execution of Casanova is probably without equal or pro- cedent. ————_—_ The Won, W. D, Kt of Pornsylvania radicts the report that he is in favor of con- tinuing the income tax, On the contrary, he is in favor of abolishing it, as are the majority of the American people. Mr, Ket wellit nan —— The venerable Dr. S’KAGU has withdrawn the pastoral charge of the Second Presby- n Churgb in Albany, and has gone to live in Flushing, In brief note to his friends, pub- lished in the Albany papers, he regrets his ina- bility to call upon them all personally to bid them ex is a wise aud state farewell, Dr. Spracuw is seventy-five years old, and has been connected for forty-one years with the ec ion from which he las now sep arated, ‘There baye been men with broader spheres of usefulness than he; but few have ever improved their opportunities of serving thelr fel- lows more effectively or more wisely.

The offer of His Exeellency “was respectfully declined by King Gzonas, and it is somewhat Goubtful whether Americans will feel narticularty flattered by their supposed popularity among the Highton of Attics, The American Minister, it is stated in the same correspondence, also sent 8 telegram to the United States to report that there were no Americans among the captives ; but if the brigands are so sweet upon our country- men, where would have been tho’ harm if they had captured some of them? Our Envoy is, no doubt, a well-intentioned, kind-hearted man, and he probably sincerly believed that his interces- tion would have worked wonders with the Mara- thon bandits, and constituted one of the marvels of diplomacy, Who can fathom the mysteries of that art? Unsophisticated people may contend that American Ministers are not accredited to brigands, and have no business to open negotia- tions with them; but such people had better stand aside, hold their tongues, and pay their taxes, ees The weakness of the Republican party in this city ix strikingly displayed by the fact, that when one of the prominent candidates on their Aldermanic ticket in Ins Tuesday election, came to offer his own vote on that day, it was found that his name was not on the registry. An inquiry into the cause of this omission revealed the fact that the gentleman was not aware of the necessity of registering bis vote, not having voted for the last three years!
