The subject was debated in the Cortes nearly the whole of last week ; aud this bill 4n designed to con- chide tho debate and embody {ts results in a low. Mr. CastELan must bo very ignorant of the prosent state of affuirs in Cuba, if he im- agincs that any such bill, if passed, can possibly be rendered effective there. Spain has sent some fifty thousand soldiers to crush the Cuban revolution, and has failed ; and it would require a still Jarger army to enforce emancipation and keep the idland Spanish. The Spaniards in Cuba have already forwarded from Havana innumerable protests to Madrid against even the modified attempt at a commencement of gradual emancipation, which the Colonial Minister proposed a fortnight since in the Cortes, Hw on earth then ean Mr. Castwtar hopo to enforce a law infinitely more obnoxious to tlie interests of the volunteors ? The Cubans proclaimed the abolition of slavery on the island nineteen months ago, and they are gradually and sarely making their law effective. But they will certainly pay no compensation to the owners of the slaves, because the accursed institution has been the main source of the barbarities through which the islaud has pasacd and is now parsing. One of the most remarkable and most in- explicable facts in this whole matter is, that many of the leaders of that party in this country which labored so long and so ener getically for the abolition of slavery here, have not only refused all sympathy to the abolitionisis of Cuba, but have done all that wae in their power to thwart their efforts and toperpetuate all the horrors of bondage in that island! The chief of these men is CHARLES Scm~en; but there are others, Jess distinguished, whose names it is hardly pos- sible to recall without a pang of sorrow and shame. ‘incites The Rights of Naturalize a Citizens Abroad. On the 13th of April last, a treaty was ne- gotiated at London between Mr. MoTLey, the Ambassador of the United States, and Earl Chanenpon, the British Secretary for Foreizn Affuirs, by whic Great Britzin re- Jinquishes forever the old British doctrine of citizenship, and recognizes fully the right of ayy British subject to abandon allegiance to the British crown, and become a full citizen of this republic This treaty is now before the Senate for considerntion ; and as it only declares a prin- ciple for which the United States have al- ways contended, and takes away all occasion for futare controversy, it will undoubtedly be ratified. We trast, however, that its rati- fieation will not be made a pretext for the abandonment by our Government of the claims of naturalized citizens, based upon violations of their rights which have already been committed. ‘Take, for instance, the very case to which the negotiation of the proposed treaty is owing. On the first day of June, 1867, Jou Wanrxen, an Irishman and a‘Britl' sub- ject by birth, who in 1856 waa es oid aa w'citizen of the Units gictey Ianded in Ireland, and iv by rinedlately after landing was acrcet’', and thrown into prison by the Brit- {gh Government, After the lapse of ten days be was indicted and committed for trial for constructive treason as a conspirator, for swords spoken in Net York, and for an overt ack committed in Ireland by other partie, three months before his arrival. Ue de manded, as an alicn, to be tried by a jury half of American citizens and half of British subjects; but this demand was denied by the Court, on the express ground that he was not an slicu, but a British subject, on the old principle that he who is once under the lance of English sovereigns remains 80 forever. By the application of the same principle he was convicted of the offence for which he was indicted, although it was ad. mitted that he had personally committed no overt act on British soil; and be was sen- tenced to fifteen years’ penal servitude. A portion of this sentence, with all its degra- dation and hardships, he actually suffered, But finally, on the 4th of March, 1849, he was, with fifty other convicts, pardoned, still Qs a British subject, and permitted to return to this country. He has laid bis elaim for damages Lefo.e Congress, and his memorial ig now in the hands of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, Meanwhile, from the agitation of the question which his case has occasioned, Las sprung the treaty now be fore the Senate; so that he has, at all events, the satisfaction of knowing that by his agency Great Britain hes been brought to a formal aduission of the rights of nat uralized American citizens, which was not extortd by the war of 1812, although that war was fought reepecting that very ques tion, The remarkable fact, however, is, that Mr. WHawN should have been compelled to po Ption Congress at all for redress. One would Haye thought that as soon as tho news ar- are? of his arrost and imprisonment, his ra ‘ion would have been demanded by the | President. aud the demand enforced by all the power of the nation. Mr. Jonni however, always had a morbid narod Fenianism, and that a man was even sc cused of it was enough to condemn Idi ta his eyes. But now that we live under a different Administration, which has made some prom- ines, we are still waiting to see whether there is to be any change of policy in this,rospect, But at any rate, if the Senate does not insist upon compensation being made to Mr. Wan- REN before it ratifies the MoTLEY-CLamEn: DON treaty, it will show less regard for the honor of the nation than we have a right to oxpect from it. a ‘Tho Transcontinental Railway —Justice to the Great Explorer. We are glad to learn from Washington that the opposition to Gen. Jony C, Fre- MONT'S well devised and nicely perfected plan for s Transcontinental Railway has been virtually abandoned. This in well. It was § mean and pitiful opposition, which ought to disappear from daylight, Many attempts have been made to black- mail Gen. Fresront, and to extort money from him, by threats to defeat his project for this most important internal improvement. Bat they have signally failed. Even our Minister to France—the nominal Ministor, the narrow-minded, selfish, malignant, virn- lent, scandal-circulatiny, backbiting Wasn- BURNE—prostituted his high official position ‘by a weak and pucrile endeavor to discredit one of the grandest railway enterprises ever proposed to, the word, Bat everybody who knew Wasnnonne saw through this. ‘They discovered at once the secret of his hostility. They know that Fresog@r was o statesman whom Wastununne, in the littleness and meanness of his soul, had always instinctively envied and hated. They knew that Wasitpunnt had been sent to France just to get ridof him. They knew that even Grant, aided by the fragrance of a perpetual Havana, could not stand such a stench immediately under his nose, but was obliged to put him at a distance. .All fair- minded men will rejoice to learn that Wasit- BURNE’S malice has been expended in vain. Gen. Fremont’s Transcontinental Rail- way will be of incalculable value to the United States. It will open up to inhabi- taney, and improvement, and productive- ness millions of acres of land, now lying unoccupied in the sunny Southwest. It will develop rich treasures in mining and the precious metals. It will change a vast sec- tion of country, which, for the want of means of trensportation, now remains a wil- deruess, into a populous and wealth-produ cing région. There are few men who have done so much for this country as Gen, Joun C, Fremont. The heart of the nation is with him; the heart of the nation will be made glad by the | news that Congress has turned a deaf ear to the petty maligners who have made his patrioti¢m and greatness more resplendent Dy contrast with their own malice and mean- ness. ee British Columbia and (he Canadian Doe minion. The authorities of British Columbia have mado an oflicial statement of the conditions upon which that colony will be willing to Decome a member of the Canadian Dominion. ‘The most important of these conditions is, that the Domivion shall within three years from the consummation of the union con. struct and open for traffic a coach rond from Fort Garry to the main trunk road of Co- lumnbia, and shall also undertake to complete ® railway communication across the Rocky Mountains at tho earliest practicable time; and that a sum of not less than one million dollars shall be expended every year, begin- ning at three years from the date of union, in actually constructing the initial sections of such a railway from the seaboard of Brit: ish Columbia, to connect with the railway system of Canada. In addition to all this, the Dominion is to assume the debts of British Columbia ; and as those debts are not equal to those of the other provinces, the colony is to receive in- terest at the rate of five per cent. on the dif- ference between the amount of her debt and that proportion of the public debt of Canada for whicl: she will be liable after having en- tered the Dominion. The Dominion Govern- ment is aiso to pay to British Columbia an AND 'Zal grant of $35,000, besides eighty cents a year for each percon of the population. This last paymentis to go on increasing until Jeg. | ish Columbia shall contain 400,000 souls, after which it shall not be subject to any fur- ther increase. The present population of the colony belng taken at 120,000 souls, this an. nual per capita contribution from the Domin- ion will accordingly commence at the rate of $96,000 a year, and increase until it reaches $520,000, at whieh point it will remain sta: tionary. The Dominion is likewise to pay the sal ee pot the Confede- ations ang mo not desired. If the perkal @overmment would un oritke #6 furnish the migney or to guarantec bonds to a sufficient amount, it is cortain that the Canadians would be will ing to build the road ; but there ia no reason to suppose that Great Britain will assunio any such responsibility for the sake of colo- nies whose connection with the mother country has already become fo fragile. We trust, however, that the matter may soon be satisfactorily arranged. It is atogether better that the whole of British North America should be combined under one in- dependent Government, which will have a chance of éstablishing itself and of making 4 figure in the world, rather than that the colonies should lead a separate and unsatis- factory existence, ns they are now doing. It is to be hoped that the idea of an indepen. dont confederation including all tho British provinces north of us may be realized at an early day. Of course, we should prefer that the new government should be republican jin form; but that is a matter respecting | which we have no authority to dictate. If the | Canadians prefer a monarchy or an sristocra- cy, it is their right to consult their own judg: | ment and wishes; but it is certainly better | for their interest, for ours, and for the interest of England, that they should hecome inde- pendent, and be allowed to manage their own affnirs in their own way. ee Some curious speculations as to the phy- | sical condition of the planet Mars, and huinan life aod industry upon it, have just been pub- ed in a book by an Englishman named Riemann A. Proctor. He bases his work upon admitted astronomical facts, and his conclusions are that the weight of objects of the same mass in Mars is much less than half what it is here, and that consequently there would-be far greater range of activity for creatures of the sine size; that falls would be less dangerous ; that the strain on walls, or columns, or any other supports would be much less, and that therefore roofs, arches, and structures of that kind might be easily set up ona much larger scale by crea tures of equal skill with ourselves; but, on the other hand, that friction, which is more or le: proportional to pressure, and therefore, in the case of piles of stones, &c., to weight, would be fur less than on the surface of the earth, so that any violent lateral disturbances, such as hurri- cancs, would exert a still greater effect than on our earth in destroying such structures, since there would be less solidity, and therefore less frictional resistance to overcome in overturning them, Again, the vastly diminished weight of given masses would give # very great advantage to all kinds of engines of draught, Carriages, carts, and railways would attain « vastly greater speed than on our carth, and the sledging on the suow fields of Mars might be as swift as the wind, It appears to be probable, too, that the atmos. phere of Mars is relatively considerably denser than ours, since ata distance from the sun so much greater thut the planet receives, directly, le han half the light and heat we receive, there seems no sign of any arctic severity, and cloar evidenct that the atmosphere holds vast quantities of watery vapor even in winter, which points to a general temperature considorably higher than our world would bave if removed to the same distance from the san, especially when ow much less water to supply vapor, and how much greater a proportion of land than the earth, Mars contains, Again, the rapidity with which storms clear off from a big continent, aud leave the outline clearly marked after being all enveloped in mist before, seems to show the existence of very rapid currents of air; and this, no doubt, the greater inclination of the axis of Mars, giving a greater range to the north- word and southward journeys of the sun, would promote. Putting these facts together, then, it is inferred that the atmosphere of Mars is, in proportion, heavier than that of the earth, and therefore a warmer envelope for the planet, th its winds are more violent, and that the great difficulty of the architects of the planet is more likely to be the strengthening of their structures aguinst lateral forces—hurricanes, for instance— than against the strain of gravity. Their outer walls would to be comparatively much more solid ; their difficulty in raising broad arches and spacious roofs would be much less; and loco- motion on Mars must be much more easy and speedy, ca@teris paribus, than locomotion on the earth, The infallibility question in the Gecumeni cal Council is drawing to a close, and promises to prove satisfactory all around, Pious Catholics will rejoice at the victory of Pic and anti- ‘Catholics will be equally delighted with the schisms which will result from it, and wiiich in their opinion will be the beziantng of the end, The most remo: cole thing in the whole great sun fs the indifference of the masses of people everywhere, Catholics and non-Catholics, Indeed, there is not a bit of excitement or agita- tion about the matter anywhere. If the cuble were to announce to-morrow that Pro Noxo had declared himself infallible, ail mankind would receive the news with equanimity; and wei the cable to report that His Holiness is not to be TH E SUN, | opinion of the military geniu: infallible, the good-nature of the world would be exactly the same, Thus, whichever way things go at Rome, it will cause no great disturbance in the busy outside world. The time was when an official proclamation of infallibility would have ary and allowances of the Lieutenant-Gov. ernor, tho salaries and allowances of the judges und officers of the courts, all charges connected with the customs department and postal department, and all charges for light- houses, buoys, beacons, and light-ships. It is also to furnish suitable pensions for those officials of the colony whose positions and emoluments wilk be affected by the change consequent upon the admission of British Columbia into the Dominion. The Dominion is, moreover, to guarantee the construction of a first-class dry dock in Columbia; to provide a fortnightly line of steamers be tween Victoria and San Francisco ; to erect and maintain a marine hospital and lunatic asylum at Victoria; to erect and maintain a to maintain an efficient along the seaboard of the provineo ;*to extend to British Columbia all the cneouragement and protection given to the fisherics of other Canadian provinces ; and to encourage’ the efficiency of the volun- teer force of British Columbia, ‘hese terms are similar to those granted to the people of the Red River country in the act organizing the provinee of Manitoba, and are not unlike those upon which tho éastern provinces came into the Dominion. ‘The only difficult problem in the case is the domand of the people of British Columbia for the speedy construction of @ railroad, and for the annual appropriation of one rfillion dollars to that work, ‘This will. be a very troublesome thing for the Government of the Dominion to do, and will probably cause some delay in the conelusion,of the bargain. ‘The railroad enterprises, of Canpda haye all, becn unprofitable, and have entailed serious produced war and political earthquakes ; but that time is past, Joun Mauen, one of Brooklyn's indicted eanvassers, has been appointed a Police Sergeant in Gowanus, in the plice of Joun McKeLuan, « yery worthy man, Paraick Durry, ofe of New York's indicted canvassers, has been sent to State Prison by Recorder Hacker? for nine years and six months, Let us hear no more from the Brook- lyn newspapers concerning the corruptions of the Tammany Ring, Boss Tweeo is an angel of light compared with Boss McLavauuin, Reppr rue Buacksmiru and Cuauscey Jouxson have for years lived in this eity, and have never been appointed toany office, If they lived in Brooklyn, von McLavauuss might make one of then Chief of Police. apniiammmnreer’ According to the reports that reach us from the fur West, the poople of the Red River country are preparing to resist the British troops, which are now about to mareb from Fort William, on Thunder Bay, for Fort Garry, on tho Red River, They have organized a body of Indians ond of half-breeds, and propose to meet the in- vaders in the neighborhood of the Lake of tho Woods, But if they are going to fight at all, they had better begin a great deal further east, ‘The Lake of the Woods is ebout 250 miles from Fort William and about 180 miles from Fort Garry, Most of the distasee between Fort Wil- liam and the Lake of the Woods will Le made by the expedition in boats; but there aré many long and difficult portages, The vountry ts very rough, and offyrs great advantoges for guerilla attacks, A small body of sharp-shooters, thrown as far to the east as possible, would be excecd- ingly effoctive in reducipg the invading force by constant skirmishes and surprises, If prac- tioable, the British should be assdiled be- fore they enter the Lac do Mllé ; anu from there throdigh Stirgeod Like and Lec de la Croia, Nameukan Lake, Rainy Lake, aud Rainy’ DERDAY, ‘JUNE ga4 otacge Se oak ne omn ne overtaken nor defeated, Toree undred men under « skilfal partisan would do more to bresk up and destroy the expedition between Fort William and Rainy Lake than three thousand men drawn up in battle atay to @ppose ite progress near the Lake of the Woods, 1: is true that Between that lake and Fort Garry the road passes through swampy and very difficult country, which is well suited to the sort of warfare which Rist and his followers must necessarily adopt. But if the ex- péditton should be worn out and half of its nam- bers killed before they reach the swamps west of the Lake of the Woods, it will be so much easier to annihilate them between that lake and Fort Garry, We confess that the report that the British are not to be attacked until they have passed the Lake of the Woods gives us a poor exists among the Winnipegers. ee ———_—. The General Court of Massachusetts, as the Legislature of that commonwealth is ealled, has passed resolutions declaring its cordial sym- | pathy with -ali those who favor the annexation of the British North American Provinces to the United States, This is a harmless sentiment, and will have ag much effect as firing blank car- tridges into the air, The annexation of the British Provinces is simply an impossibility. Great Britain cannot consent to it, and we cer- tainly shall not make a war for the sake of at- tempting the gonquest of our neighbors beyond the borders.

It is not yet too late to retrieve this mishap. Let Tween take Neusox’s place as short stop, substi- tute Toyy Harrwan for Mitts on the second base, and put Micnasi.
