In the next Presidential clec- tion it would seem that no great issae—we mean great as compared with those—is likely to agitate the public mind. Such a contest will be apt to resolve itself mainly into a straggle between the “ outs” and the “ins.” If Gnant should be renominated, he will find arrayed against him not merely the hungry outs of the Democracy, but the greedy outs of his own party. Londed down with the dead weight of his odious office holders, so obvious will it be that he can- not win in the campaign of 1972, that it need not be doubted that the Convention of that year will whistle him down the wind, and intrust the helm to a pilot who will stand & reasonable chance of riding out the storm. RSE SN The Real Condition of Affairs in Cuba. In Havana the alarm at the expected land- ing of an expedition by tho Hornet is im- mense, The papers of Havana, although they know the contrary through the Spanish sples of this city, declare that Gen, Jonpan has command of the expedition. iards there confess that unless all the gun- boats and all the troops in the island should be fortunate enough to be concentrated at the point where she makes her landing, the cadse of Spain in Cuba is desperate. sidering that the Hornet if a vessel utterly incapable of conveying over three hundred men for even @ short distance, and that of these not more than one third could be stowed below, this alarm of the Spaniards solves several questions. It proves that the supporters of a cause which hes lately received reinforcements of 5 yn, and which boasts of 40,000 regu lars and 100,000 yolunteers to-day, are afraid of the arrivel of 300 armed enemies. proves also that the Spaniards are aware that the few thousand muskets said to be expected by the Hornet will readily find men to use them against Spain, Orders posted on the walls of Havana di recting such and such battalfons of voltn. teers to put themselves in readiness to leave vn torn down by these same volunteers. Their argument is logical “What,” they say, “the papers declare that tho ingurrection is beaten, or at best confined to # few hordes of wandering bandits, and they want us to go out against them | This order mustbe a fraud !” Finally, some of the battalions have agreed to go and guard interior towns, in order that the pres. ent regular garrisons of these towns may be ndt fail to do Sustlee a thie proper time a King Wrntam’s recent address to the German armics indicates that he had no hope of ® speedy termination of the war. | and ater the canals b In admitting that his object ie still unattained, | for boats of six hundred tons, all revooucs de. he indiréetly pays & compliment to the French, whose prowers Lape d him from attaining it.

Finally, over 60,000 colored men freed by the act of their former owners, most of whom , have been kidnapped by the Spanish authorities, and forced to return to the same state of slavery in which they were before the declaration of independence. The Spaniards have gone further even than this in reviving the slave trade; of colored men born free have been captured by them and gold into slavery, even at the low rate of twenty-five dollars a head. It would seem that in this age of rapid communication and dissemination of intelli- gence, some criminal complicity in such a state of things as at present rules in Cuba must attach to somebody besides the direct and patent agents in such willainies, If his tory should unsavel any complicity of the United Btatea, he it through the throughout the remainder of their social Ii similar sentiment of public indignation was brought to bear here, Even Mancy, his ings sufficient to > to them in case of their death. ‘The robbery of such by determined and 4 as was shown in the explosion of the Great Western Mutual Life Insurance Company, and were so 1 warning to satisfactorily.
