Daily average dur- ing the previous week, ending June 4, 105,531. Attorney General Hoar renigucl his offico on Wednesday, and the President yesterday sent to the Senate the nomination of Amos T. AckEnMan, of Georgia, as his successor. ‘Tt would have been a compliment to the President and to his new Attorney-General to confirm the nomination at once, without the formality of referring it to a Committee ; but as the Senate was as ignorant respecting Mr. AckeRMAN as the rest of the country is, they very properly deemed it necessary to in- Quiro before confirming him. They got enough of blindly following Gen. Grant's lead when they confirmed A. T. STEWART as Becretary of the Treasury in violation of law. Mr. AckeRMAN belongs to that class of men for whom Gen. Grant has a predilee- tion, He was never heard of before; and there is no reason why he should be in the Cabinet unless he has privately made Gen, Grant presents. Hoe adds nothing to the political strongth of the Administration ; and it is a very poor compliment to Judge Hoan 4o select such a man for his place. The next thing in order is the separation of Afr. Fran from the State Department. Of course he doesu't want to go; but his wishes will be overruled by imperious necessity. It is evi- dent that Binciam’s milk-and-water Cuban resolution could not have prevailed in the House yesterday had it not been understood that Mr. Fisit would at once receive his walking papers. The country also demands the dismissal of Admiral Porter and Mr. Robeson from the Navy Department. This demand, however, is somewhat mitigated by the reflection that some more reckless busybody than Porren, and sone more insignificant nobody than Roxeson, might be put in their stead. cod Aon The Republicans are on the Side of Spain. The House of Representatives yesterday passol Bixouam’s substitute for Gen, Banks's resolutions. It reads as follows: President is hereby authorized to remon- the barbarous auanuer i whieh the war |. A he shall deem it wg rs of wuner nents in sich measnres ws gecure {rom both contendi ‘the laws of war recognized by ail civilized nauiol This is empty. It means nothing, and amounts to nothing. It is a skulking at tempt on the part of tho majority of the House to avoid condemoing Gen. Gnant’s cowardly Spanish message, It is a conclusion which even the ring of specula- tors, who were denounced by Gen. LOGAN in his speech on Wednesday, might be ashamed of The Republican party had a chance to keep the lead of the country, All that was necessary was for it to be true to freedom. The people of the United States hate despot- ism and love liberty, The struggle in Cuba is just such a struggle as ours with England in 1776, except that the Cubans are a thou. sand times worse oppressed, and their cause is a thousand times more meritorious than ours was. If the Republicans had spoken an honest, earnest word for Cuba, they would have had all hearts with them. But they have not had courage to do it. Corruption and imbecility have been too much for their manhood. The Spanish slave- traders in Havana, and the Cuba-buyers in ‘Washington, have had their own way with them. ‘The Republican President stands to- day a pitiable poltroon on the side of Spain and slavery; and the Republican House of Representatives is with him, But the end is not yet. When such men as Banks, LOGAN, aud Fircu fight for human liberty, they eannot be beaten, The Republican party may commit suicide; but the rights of man vannot be killed, —— Gooa Authority. Some days sinco the President in a mes fage to Congress, in which he states his rea- sons why tho St. Domingo annexation swin- dle should be sanctioned, enumerated among others one which he said he had on “ good authority,” namely, that if we did not take tho island some European power would. A lottor addressed by the President to the Benato some days thereafter, in which he gave his authority for this reason, was so supremely ludicrous, that the reading of it by the Clerk of the Senate evoked shouts of Jnughter, On Monday last, in his Spanish message, Gon. Grant says; “Ibis stated, on what I have reason to regard as good authority, that Cuban bonds have been prepared to a largo anount, whose payment is made dependent upon the recognition by the United States of either Cuban belligerency or independence The only Cuban bonds, we are assured on good authority, which have ever been either lasuod or printed legitimately, declare on their face that the amounts specified are pay- able “after the ratification of a treaty of peace Letween the Government of Spain and the Republic of Cuba; or after the overthrow of the authority of the Spanish Government in the wholo island of Cuba; or after the recognition by the Government of the United States of America of the political Andependenee of the island of Cuba.” Wo are likewise informed on good aw thority, that of the Cuban Junta, that any bonds purporting to have been authorized by the Cuban Republic, in which their payment is made conditional upon the recognition of belligerency by our Govern- ment, are spurious and illegal, Thia bow- y deem necess: {les an observ: ever, does not prove that such bonds do not exist. On the contrary, it has been currently reported that Cuban bonds havo been forged by the Spaniards, and tho slight alteration between the genuine and the spurious ones is more than probable. But if President Grant bas “what he regards as good au- thority” for his assertion, he is in honor bound to produce it. Whether an honest disclosure of the na- ture of his good authority, and from whom ho received the information, would prodace ‘aughter or indignation in Congress, is an- «her matter, em Butler in the Right Place. Gen, BenJamin F, Butter is an able, ite, experienced criminal lawyer. Ho was st the man of all men to defend the crimi- ual conduct of the Administration toward Cuba, The Goes Bravely On. The gallant Gen. Logan of Illinois has also made # splendid speech in behalf of Cuba. Like an experienced soldier, he car- tied the war into the enemy’scamp. “Once,” he said, “there had not been a stronger ad- vocate of Cuban independence in tho House of Representatives than the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. ButLen); and now he was on the other sido of the question, and insinuated that Cuban bonds had influenced the votes of members, Cuban bonds, he as- serted, had no influence on members. Gold was far better for corrupting purposes than bonds; and if anything had been used on either side, it would have been gold. The in- sinuation was low, contrary to good manners, contrary to good faith. It was an act which ought not to be recognized as the act of a gentleman.” ‘This was a square blow in BuTLen’s face; but he took it without making any answer. Then Logan dashed at him again. T time LoGAn’s attack was tremendous. “As to the argument,” he said, “that there was no war in Cuba, he wanted to know what the thirty Spanish gunboats that were allowed to leave New York were intended for? Was it to go fishing off Cape Cod? There was war in Cuba, and all that was asked was that that fact be recognized, and that the Cubans who are captured in battle should not be butchered, garroted, burned, or disem- bowelled, but be treated as prisoncrs of war. He thought he could give the reason why there was such opposition to the recog: nition of belligerency. It was not from fear of being embroiled in war. It was be- cause a few gentlemen had been sent to Ma- drid to make arrangements with Gen. Prin for the purchase of the island of Cuba, when it was to be turned over to the Cubans for $100,000,000. That was the milk in the cocoanut, the meat in the egg. Would the goeutleman from Massachusetts say that thas was not the fact t” To this also Burien had no reply to make, He was hitina vital part. He could not devy or refute the imputation. Let Gen. Locan move for a Committee of Investigation to ascertain whether anybody near the President is pecuniarily concerned in this scheme to profit by the purchaso of Cuba, and to let tho war and the atrocities in the island continue until the bargain can be closed. “Spoons Wanted. If BurLen’s statement about the Cubans is true, that they offered only bonds to pur- chase influence, it is easy to understand his dissatisfaction, What ho wanted was spoons, —— More of Porter’s Folly. We have the report from Washington that the Navy Department has issued orders to overhaul the sloop of war Brooklyn, and place her in condition for service in the Mediter- ranean. The European squadron now includes the frigate Franklin, and the sloops of war Rich- mond, Plymouth, and Juniata, besides the storeship Supply. The Brooklyn is now to be fitted out to join these vessels, and aid in flattering the pride of our reigning naval autocrat, by a snobbish and useless display before the mon- archs and aristocrats of Europe. For cruising in the waters of Cuba, not even @ small gunboat is fitted out; and when our citizens aro threatened with murder by the Spanish volunteers, they have to take refuge on board the ships of Her Britannic Majesty. Will not Congress take this matter in hand, and have the European squadron ordered home ? It is no more necessary where it is, than Secretary Porter and Admiral Roweson are both necessary in the Navy De- partment ; and it cosis mapy millions of the people's money every year. If some man of sense, honesty, and firmness were put at the head of the Navy Depart- ment, we should heve no ships of war for mere show and flummery, but there would be enough of them to protect American citi- zens wherever protection might be needed. ier In 1856 the British Government sent Capt Jony Patriser to America to run the boundary line between the United States and the British territory from Lake Superior westward to tho seacoast range of mountains, This duty Capt. Pantisen successfully performed; but another mission of @ less public nature which was in- trusted to him at the same time he failed in, and 80 reported to the proper officein London. This duty was to findin British territory a passage across the Rocky Mountains by which a railroad could be carried through to the Paciflo, After sponding three years in that country, he declared that he had not succeeded in finding such o pass, but that he had proved that there was no pass there, and that no pass could ever be found, Such has also ever since been the im- pression of those who have studied the subject ; but now itis said that a Mr, Wapsworra of Brit- ish Columbia has found pass, and the only ono in existence, and that he proposes to build » railroad throngh it provided he can bave a suffi- cient grant of land on each side of the line, But suppose he should get the grant and get his road built, will it pay? The Northern Pacifio will be finished long before he can fairly get to work, and after that road {s done, another line on the British side of the frontier would be quite as un- profitable as the Canadian railroads generally, if Bot mere 60, ———— There is noend to human impudence, and one of its most brilliant specimens is now on ex- hibition in Virginia, When tho forces of the United States occupied Richmond on the 2d of April, 1866, they found there @ stately mansion from which Javrenson Davis, President of the so-called Confederate States, had just taken his burried departure, This building had been pur- chased by the city of Richmond and presented to the Confederate Gayernment aa an inducement Gen.

This proposal is regarded by the ex-rebels in Richmond with great di faction. They think that the Govgrament ought not only to put the building in « perfect state of repair, but that it ought to pay a handsome rent, Considering that Richmond gave this building as & contribution toward the overthrow of tho United States, we cannot recall anything in his tory quite equal in cool Impertinence to this de- mand for the payment of rent and damages. fthrepiet — —The Boy who will Win, ‘West Porxt, June 16.—The colored cadets aro the absorbing topic of military and West Potnt cir- cles, There is great uneasiness to learn the exact status of the two “boys of destiny,” Michael How- ard of Mississippl, and James W.
