AMERICAN TELEGRAPH
A. Ptrtom) C?r<l In relation to th?
Liquor Bill?No. 4.
To the Editor* of the American Telegraph.
Gentlemen :?I shall have meroy upon you
and your readers, by making this my last,
and very brief. I am inclined to think that
farther disounsion will not do much good,
and ;shall not run the risk of being thought
desirous of newspaper notoriety by spinning out
the controversy further than what 1 may deem
necessary for the public good.
1 bring this matter to a close earlier than I
had originally intended, because I propose in
troducing next Monday a new, and, 1 hope,
more comprehensive and successful act, wherein
I intend to embrace my own more doiiberatc
and final views in reference to the subject, and
the discussion of and action on which attempt
at amendment of the " modus operandi" will, I
flatter myself, he productive of bonefit to the
community at large.
I have now to defend myself from the charge
that the ultraism and hardness of the bill, as
proposed by me, will defeat its operation, and
bring the law into disrepute. It seems to me
sufficient, in answer to this objeotion, to re
mark, that desperate diseases require desperate
cures. I started under a conscientious oonvic
tion that the abuse of ardent spirits is here, as
elsewhere, the fruitful source of crime aud
wickedness. I wished to avoid both Scylla and
Charybdifi?to steer clear of actual prohibition
and culpable encouragement. 1 Bought to make
those living on, and owning property in, any
square of the city the judges whether an estab
lishment for the vending of spirituous liquorB
should be opened there or not. Perhaps I may
have been wrong in binding the applicants
down to six white owners of real estate, and
calling for an oath; but I felt that the evil
was a great one, and that I would, if supported
by the community and my brother mem
bers, come as near prohibition as possible.
It seems, from the result, that I have made a
miscalculation. I therefore feel it no degrada
tion or humiliation, finding that I have counted
without my host, to offer a' more practicable
and yet sufficient remedy for the disease. The
public interested in the matter will be able to
judge of the supposed panacea, when it is
brought before the Boards. Buffice it to say in
advance, that I propose to make the majority of
the parties interested, and that directly, the
jugdes whether a license for a tavern, ordinary,
or drinking-shop, is to be issued and located on
their square or not. We shall soon see who of
the Council are in favor of this republican rule,
that the majority shall control in matters of
public interest and import. I hope, by the pro
visions of my forthcoming act, to reconcile effi
ciency with moderation, and to arrange it so
that the law shall be executed.
And whatever the members of the Councils
shall determine, I trust, will bo carried Into op
eration at all hazards. I want to try the ex
periment, whether it is in our power or not to
execute acts more stringent than those now in
our statute book, and flatter myself that our
community is not so far dead to self-respect
and its best interests, as to confess that our
legislation is a farce, and the will of parties,
whose ill-gotten gains may be affected by reform
and improvement, is to be the only guide and
influence which those who make our laws art*
to consult and care for.
1 am glad to see that the Mayor has brought
the subject before the Councils, and recommend
ed some action on their part for the control of
this growing evil. This recommendation will
aid the consideration of the project which, as a
substitute for my previous views, I propose in
troducing at our next meeting. In the mean
time, confident that all sensible and patriotic
citizens agree in the admission of the evil, and
the necessity of devising some kind of cure, and
feeling satisfied that the ball which I have
thought it my duty to put in motion will, in the
course of its progress, bring benefit and conso
lation to the majority, I look forward with much
of hope, not unmixed with some anxiety, to the
reception which my fellow members will give I
my measure when itshfdl be formally presented
for thoir examination and action.
Whatever mnj' be the result, I fee 1 satisfied,
from my acquaintance with the members with
whom I have the honor to serve, that their de
cision will be honest and conscientious, if for
my bill, I shall feel happy, and hope for perma
nent and good effects for our community at
large. If against, I shall regret it; but, con
scious of having moved from good motives and
for good ends, shall make up my mind to meet
the best way I can the public verdict, assuring
those for or against, that for me, personally,
the result is comparatively of but slight im
portance?for them a matter of deep and real
interest and concern. By the movements in
your Hoards of Aldermen and Common Coun
cil, fellow-citizens, shall you thrive or suffer.
God grant that we may legislate for your real
good! Y ours respectfully,
John Carroll Brknt.

Having noticed **Democrat," in your last
evening'* paper, repeating his misstatement of
facts in relation to Mr. R. J. Walker's kindness,
amiability, and unproscriptive spirit while Se
cretary of the Treasury, permit me to refer him
j to the.records of any bureau under his control,
I the First, Second, Third, &c. ho. Auditors'
office, particularly the Second and Third Audi
j tor and the General Land office, in which he
will find the fact that a more ruthless proscrip
I tionist never lived than this same "amiable"
Mr. Walker; and I am astonished at " Demo
crat's" barefaced repetition that Mr. Walker
was no proscriptionist. There was not a bureau
where this " Marat," as ho was called, of Mr.
Folk's administration, did not proscribe. Let
the shade of poor Mr. James, one of his victims,
answer. Go, Mr. " Democrat," and inquire at
all and every office under Mr. Walker, and you
will find that a more unrelenting tyrant never
lived ; and you should be cautious henoeforth
how you speak of this "kind," this "amiable"
and " unproteripltve," "gentlemanly " Mr. Walk
!er, for remember the well known maxim of law,
''faints in uno," &o. "Commentator" has
ample materials in hand, no* only for Mr. Cor
win and the independent M*? Stnart, but for
others; and we all say to him, spare not and
apply the lash, for the Whig party placed both

certainly not for the Locofocos. A Citizjsn.

Cuua.?Whatever may be the opinions of
Americans respecting the character of the inva
sion of Cuba by volunteers from this country,
there can bo but one feeling on reading the
details of the horrible massacre committed at
Havana.
We are not for justifying interference with
neighboring and friendly States; but we are
against hastily styling the invaders " pirates;
inuftntuch an, they have been invited by the in
habitants, backed by the strongest assurances
of support, and urged by entreaties to aid in
liberating them from oppression aud tyranny.
Rash and enthusiastic men have listened to
these appeals. They have been mot by the
agents of oppression with resolution, and those
who have fallen into their ruthless hands have
paid the penalty of their venture with their
lives.
All war is piracy, except in national defence.
If ever there were pirates, kings and generals |
huve been such. Their invasions were piratical
in the truest sense, because no good end was to
bo served ; nothing but plunder, vengeance and
ambition of the worst kind, was to be gratilied
by them. Here, however, is what many will
call a legitimate and good result to be attained?
the liberation of a beautiful country from the
caprice and oppression of a distant government.
The invaders are invited by the inhabitants,
whose grievances are made known to them, and
the success of the enterprise would be hailed
with pleasure, we do not hesitate to say, by the
whole world.
The men have gone?not to plunder, not to
devastate a country, not to rob friends or foes,
or insult women, (common crimes of invading
armies,)?but to rescue a people long pantiug
for liberty. Such men do not deserve the epi
thet of pirates; and Americans will be the last
to apply it to men who risk their lives in so
glorious a cause.
It is the fashion to talk of neutrality, and yet
to treat as legitimate acts the despotic interfer
ence of European powers with the right of other
nations seeking freedom. Surely, freemen have
as much right to take sides actively with the
oppressed, as the despot with the oppressor.
Indeed, the right is justified by the fact that it
is in the cause of humanity.
Cuban Annexation is strongly opposed by
the Charleston Mercury in a leading article
evincing much thought, although partaking of
the peouliar slavery sentiments which pervade
every subject treated of by the South Carolina
press. The Mercury argues that tho annexation
of Cuba would be followed by deplorable con
sequences, but denies that the effect would be
to draw slaves to Cuba from the northern slave
States of the Union, because the present organ
ization of the system of slavery in Cuba, which 1
is a Belf-cxhausting one, would, in case of an
nexation, be altered and assimilated to that of
our own southern States, which the Mercury
believes to be social, kindly, and self-sustain
ing. The Mercury points out what it considers
two rmdXittmX d?fect? in tho Cubwn ?yeWm, which
it thus states: .
?'1. The Spanish law sallow slaves to buy their
freedom, by obtaining a valuation from public
functionaries, and paying up tho amount as
they ean. Hence there is a constant inroad
upon the slave population by emancipation, and
there is at this time in Cuba a free population,
nearly equal to the whole of the same olass in
the United States.
"2. The slave trade, within the last thirty
years, has had a peculiar character. Denounced
as piracy by the great nations, it has necessarily
taken much of the cruel character of piracy.
Tho difficulties in the way of transporting slaves
have given rise to the disproportionate impor
tation of males, both because they could best
endure the trials of the passage, and perform
most labor when introduced. In the census of
Cuba for 1827 there were one hundred and
eighty-three thousand male Blaves, and one
hundred and three thousand females. VVe have
not seen a later census embodying this item;
but the disproportion of tho sexes has uot been
diminished. Slavery has been in Cuba rather
an industrial speculation than a social institu
tion ; and the oousequence of this incessant
emancipation on the one hand, and the substi
tution of newly imported Africans on the other,
j has been that the institution has assumed a pe
culiarly harsh character, eminently unfavorable
to the duration of life. We have heard it said
that forty years is the ordinary limit of the life
of a slave on the sugar plantations, and that for
a considerable portion of the year they work
eighteen hours in the day.
"Now in regard to each one of these consider
ations, we think it nearly certain that the re
lease of Cuba from the Spanish dominion would
work a great change in favor of the permanent
character and natural increase of tho slave
population. Tho cessation of the slave trade
would soon put an end to the emancipation sys
tem, and with it to the still worse system of
working slaves with an eye to exacting from
their sinews the greatest amount of labor.
Tho Mercury, however, opposes the annexa
tion of Cuba, because the union would be incon
gruous and unnatural, and " because it. is for
the interest of the South that there should be
1 y ii ii," lugcincr
with some other reasons affecting consolidation,
the increase of tho army and navy, tho perni
cious effect of extended dominion, ctc.?Ledger.

Tlte Gardiner Claim.
from the New York Herkld.
Washington, Aug. 22, 1861.
I havo just liad a conversation with a very
candid and intelligent member of the Grand
Jury of this district, wbich brought ia true
bills, for perjury, against George A. and J.
Carlos Gardiner. lie says tbat most of the pa
pers upon which the late Hoard of Commiasion
ers awarded the Gardiner Claim and the Muara
Cliiiin were before the Grand Jury, subject to
inspection and comparison, at the time the true
bills for perjury were rendered.
He states that there were three memorials
addressed to the Board of Commissioners, all,
as was understood, in the handwriting of Gen.
Waddy Thompson, which were signed, respec
tively, \>y George A. Gardiner, J. Carlos Gar
diner, and J. H. Mears. The memorial signed
by J. Carlos Gardiner was, in many respects,
word for word, the same as the one signed by
Dr. George A. Gardiner.
Although it was not a leading point of in
quiry for tbe Grand Jury to ascertain the where
abouts of the sum of $428,750, paid out of the
Treasury on the Gardiner award, yet this
branch of inquiry came up incidentally. Tho
papers showed the several sums paid to Dr.
Gardiner, his agents, and attorneys. Tho
Grand Jury added up all the amounts paid to
Dr. Gardiner's agents and attorneys, and, sub
tracting the aggregate of these amounts from
the award of $428,750, it was found that the
sum of $80,000 was left?which sum was paid
over to Dr. Gardiner. My informant states
that a small part of this sum of $86,000 Dr.
Gardiner took with him iu money ; that he de
posited tho remainder with the banker, W. W.
Corcoran, esq., but took letters of credit for
the whole amount, whioh he carried away with
him.
Among the papers was a memorial to the
Board of Commissioners, from Wm. W. Corco
ran, esq., praying to bo allowed one quarter of
the award on the Gardiner Claim which he had
purchased* and also a statement from tbe Trea
sury Department, that $107,000 and upwards
of said award had been paid to said Coroorau.
This statement is somewhat in conflict with
the one rendered by Mr. Corcoran before the
Court, at the timo of the arrest of Mr. J. Car
los Gardiner, when be stated tbat he had no
interest in said Gardiner Claim.
The more this whole subject is explored, the
worse it seems to appear. General Waddy
Thompson, one of the leading attorneys for Dr.
Gardiner, has been staying with Gov. Corwin,
another of the attorneys, at the latter^ resi
dence, for some ten days past, looking with the
Secretary of the Treasury over the whole ground,
to see what can be done, and what is best to be
done in the matter. He has now left for his
home in South Carolina. Before leaving, as I
am informed, he stated to a friend, that if the
Gardiner Claim should be proved to have been
an out-and-out forgery, be would give op tbat
portion of the award on it wbicb he received
Cor bin services; but if it should prove to have
been only an exaggeration, be should do no
such thing.
From Santa Fe.?Mr. H. Barthel, of Santa
Fe, was a passenger in the Cataract, yesterday
morning, from the Missouri river. He brings
no later advices than were previously received,
but we learn from him one or two items of in
terest. The corn crop in New Mexico, it was
feared, would prove a failure. Business was
dull, and things wore rather a gloomy appear
ance.
A man by the name of Harris, of Missouri,
who went out as a passenger in Sims k Mc
Cauley's train, died on the 28th July, and was
buried on Mud Creek. When M. B. saw the
grave the body bail been disinterred by the
beasts and birds, and was nowhere to be seen.
Russell & Jones's train was met at theMoro;
Ilubbell's, at Cimerone ; Spencer's, at same
place; Otero's, at Rio Jornada; Maj. Ruggles's,
at Fort Mackay ; Aubrey's, at Big Cow Creek;
Maj. Miles's, at Turkey Creek; and a Mormon
party at Rio Colorado. All were gettiug along
well. No sickness, except a few cases at Fort
Mackay, only three of wbich were fatal.

Cuba.?A mercantile house in this city has
furnished us with a letter from a well-known
firm of Havana, dated the 16th instant, which
states tbat the disturbances in the interior,
those which preceded Lopez's landing, were all
quelled, and tbe parties concerned were under
going trial. It says, further, that the public
tranquillity of Havana has not been interrupted
in the slightest degree.?Rich. Dnpatch.
So then there were disturbances. We did not
know this was to be admitted.

" The FitLinrsTERs."?This term is not gen
erally understood ; but the New Orleans paper
which gives the definition nays, " It was famil
iarly used in the French and other languages as
flescrintive of n /*lo?a of ?<1ronturorq of all na
tions, who, during the last half of the seven
teenth century, infested the West India islands
and the coasts of Central Amerioa, for the pur
poses of piracy, and who were, in English, more
commonly termed Buccaneers. The term was
derived from the Spanish name of a light-boat,
a vessel then in common use in the West In
dies."
The Rev. H. J. Durbin, brother of the Rev.
John P. Durbin, of Philadelphia, died recently
at Grecnsburg, Ind., from the effects of Injuries

Many years ago he was a member of the Indi

demning the practico of dancing, and enjoining
on church sessions to institute discipline when
ever It occurs among their members.
It is estimated tbat there are at present one

will be added, making in lilt on* fcutiflrW and
