Not a new spaper thai we have seen ad mltsthe credibility of I.ady Byron'.story, while 11. any show exis?llent reasons for doubting it. The latest Cuban intelligence re mired at Washington reports new compli cations in the affairs of the island. The volunteers are working to seen 1, the con trol of the government, and the same influence ia exercised over !eRodas that drove Duloo from Havana. It is reported that DeKoeaa. believing his usefulness at an end, will resign.

This is the first instanoe we have ever known of Scandinavians emigrating southward. An extensive gang of horse thieves have been unearthed by the detectives at Vincennes. One of the j. art iea arrested has turned State's evidence, and from his disclosures it is learned that the orgsni nation extends from Sedaha, Mo., vta Mitchell ami Scvmour, Ind., to a town in Kentucky, with' members in all the towns and cities an the route. If our latest reports be true in re gard to the atrocities of the Spaniards in slaughtering their prisoners as soon as captured, savs the New York Herald, the tin. has surelv come for the intervention of the I nited States in the same of civil ization and humanity, we would sk our tenevolent but apparently befogged Sec retanr of State, is not something due in this Culwui business to the common cause af humanity, to say nothing of peace and progress?

Not onlv are Carlist move ments as livelv as ever, but strong cleri cal hostility is developed, while niitranrs of discontent are heard on all sides.

CON.siiKBix; the constant agitation of M the franchise acts " of Tennessee, passed by a body assuming to be the tieneral Assembly of the State since the conclusion of the war, there seems o Is' considerable ignorance its t the precise status of this odious so-called legislation. If the question of negro eutffago is to be (liseirssed or affected hv these supposed laws, it is proper should be understood. A correspondent of the Aralanchr inac curately says: " The Supreme Court, in th case ol . ,, : -1 1 1 - ... . 1 :n 0.1 tUUtcy VS. E9tm Ulisia, it-js,ior-i o ( flldwell. held that the franchise law was a part of the Constitution." tin this assumption it is attempted to give the vantage ground in the dis cussion to the advocates of negro suf frage bv placiog their antagonists in the attitude of disturbing a relation already constitutionally fixed. The Afl'r U- has presented negro suffrage as a question yet to be acted on by the leoplo, a entirely ojieti. w e assert that the question b oftf. ofadmissioti to the liallot nof exdusUm n,i " ritjU ever legally bewml. The cor respondent ot' ibe A umtmmt is in er ror when he speaks of the ase cited l.y him as reported in 2d LuldweU The case of Ridley vs. Sherbroolt h reported in :ld Caldwell. -Nor i- it an nuuowl in the opinion of the Court, as reporUxl, tbitt " the franchise law was a part of the CnsUtuti,,r, " Such a decision at that time would byt-' been inconvenient to the faetiou theu dominating the state, in thai caa thtffP were two franchise acts under tOUsideratWl one purporting to have boeo passed 4- .. ItW&i the other, passed May Z, ! f acts pretended to contcr the eteftivfc franchise on the negro. Hotb m 9 limited bv express terms to whibv Ml ' inhabitants, or to ' white loeu. Ttfe prst act was inademate for the preservatign r,f power in the hand- of the men ttoeucWrVodintr tn Stale. The -tvond act s pitf f -till tarther exclude the people of Mjtf eitsXc from the polls. If the C)urt hat! divided in the Hidley-Sherbrook ease. that whtu the .gLslature passetl an act limiting the elective fr&udjise under the power pretended to be trranled bv the -tirteral Asswubty wjiirh shall first as-embie under ti amende.! Constitution," the act so passed became a part of the QMMtfltaV .... - . lu. then the act 01 Jiay -s, ix count not have been held valid. The act of June 5, ls6S, w.jll have exhausted the pow er of Constitutixial amend ment, -upitosed to be vested in ty? tpeefqi effMaire body designated. It could not have again autrsided the Constitution without a grBt of Ben power to that efft-ct. ThereCir, ttna Court, in subsi'rviency to the policy of the hnut, did not hold, in language, any such proposition as that stated by th corresondent of the Aailancltt'. Moreover, the Court pronounced the act of June 6, lsV, ami that of May WW, valul, wWbJs, we have shown, is Inconsistent with the dexv trine attributed to the Court by thin correspondent. It was not until Feb ruary -. isdT, tliat the art was passts;! which Is supposed to Imve conlerred on the negro the elective franchise. Whether that act was competent to incorporate the negro Into the electo ral body of the State, is a question properly determinable in a judicial forum. The best lawyers of the State hold that it was not, and that the vot ing of the negro sinisp the passage of that art lias leon altogether illegal. We are confident that this act of Feb ruary 21, 1 si", will fie held invalid when brought to the judicial atten tion of an intelligent and independent Court. Hence we regard the question of nrsgro suffrage, so far as State action is concerned, as now to be dealt with tor the first time by the people, and that it is not a question nf e.n-hmon from, but nf atlmiwinn to, the eleHire franchise. The people of this State in determining the matter, have the pi-xtrtind experience of negro (capacity for the projKT exercise of this duty. They are enabled to say " with knowl edge whereof they speak,' whetht-r he has developed such intelligence and intgrity as fits him for this priv ilege in a free government. Tin: Mr'rotolittm Rf-ord, a decided opjMTnent of the introduction of Chi nese labor into the country, concludes an article as follows. If it is right, our friends here engaged in this movement are not likely to meet any hostile acts on the part of the Govern ment: " The partus at the North who fa vor the Introduction of coolie labor into the Southern States are lUdicais. Their uppnnott desire is to prevent white emigration to the South, and in no more effectual way could they set about it than by introducing coolies there. They know well that if the South hail received a due proportion of the white emigrants that landed here during the last twenty years, there would be no military satrapies, nor reconstructed States, south of Ma son and Dixon's line, to-day." The matter in Nashville is, sim ply, that the Appeal's political pro totype, th l mo,i and Amerioan, which durinz the campaign was ouite content to ride as a cabin passenger in the Conservative boat, haruly waited for the election returns to be all sent in before it dropped the name of Con servative and wanted to paint the name of Democracy on both -ides and all over it, when the majority of the wcrking crew and passengers de sired nothing of the kind. The above from the Nashville Ban- . . - A. - A. . . lrr IS m answer to a ipurauon 01 iue AprKAL in allusion to an attempt to get up a new party to be called the Liberal party," and which, 11 we understand its position, it now dis claims. Well, let it be so. It is net- ter to give up what, because it cannot beacetaiiplislied, it would have been as well never to have attempted. It Is a fdngular coincidence that the limine- should have been so unlortu- nate as to produce the impression it was in for a new party, at the same moment that the Aralanrhe here was producing the same impression. When the Ranner was taking alarm lest ths ';.. American, by paint ing " the name of Demoerary on both sides and all over it," should do some thing lor Democracy, the Aralanshe announced, in its own name and that of the Conservative press of the State, a great " universal suffrage" victory. And at the very moment the Manner was resisting that victory being made available as 1 leniocratic thunder, we were driven to deny that the victory wa- I mversal Suttrage thunder. Is it not remarkable that thus a tempest in a teapot should be raisM in both places, at the sanu time, and that we should have so much ado about nothing all over the State? The truth of the matter is, tliat the victory was neither a Democratic vic tory nor a negro or universal suffrage victory, but a victory of the people over the proscriptionisbs in favor of good government and reform. That is the whole story. It made no capi tal for jmrty one way or another, ex cept a damaging to Radicalism. That, we are glad to say, is killed stone dead. And we claim to have had our share in it, mainly by being sensible enough to be silent, when our advocaty of Sentkb would not avail so much as silence. Supposing that the enlistment of Democratic journals on the Mtfe of Sknter would weaken his chances for dividing the Radical party, we went on, simply advocating our time-honored principles, and, as to Sexteb, keeping still. We doubt wlp the- the supjiort of anti-Radical journals served him much. The f'nion and Amerioan seems to have taken a similar view of the subject, and to have umtented itself to " ride as a cabin (aasenger in thu Conservative boat." Why is not tiiat weii eniugh, and how could that paper or the Appeal have rendered more etFcient service under such cireumstants?s-.' tiut Mm object of the Banner seems BOW b) bp t' NHftjj the Democratic party reaping advantage. a jtfj ja to be mad by that? If our cotemp.orar has no disposition to revive the dead Whig party, nor more to establish a H J,iberal " party, what does it want to itesiiQy, reyiye or establish? Dies it desire to puildov.o aii, ftp) build up Mhtf If it is unwilling the Denfej cratic party should reap advantage in Tennessee from the lat unprecur dented victory, and does not wish to establish any new party, to what use u, if. appropriate the victory, and, 04 a prtmleffc, gftfl future good does it hope to derive fron if-sr 4 9 MftT is left but the Radical, are we Ui UfL derstand he is willing to surrender all av&ntage to that, if by possibility any should be rtaiuJ? Jhe Radicals are already claiming ttirougtofi flc Uurth (bt tfcis was their own proper victory, and the fsGe Radical journals seem t be quite -aii-f?.-. s i$ it. Bat tlf w'bote of tbe matter is. tliat St. was the ;..,(, u . yvk, and well did the people do it. The eun tinuanre or formation of parties is a natter for the future. What is to be done now is ff) carry into effect the behest of the people qi Tennessee. Rjjt the Banner says. k i ;,.t. . the specious pretext of har monizing the nmjori!) iu tho State with trie Democratic party of the North, when no question of harmony, so tar as national politics was con cerned, existed at all, theae journals persisted In confusing State ami - tional jiolitics, to further the deliber ate design of making this popular movement in Tennessee a party move ment when it was nothing of the kind." We do not so understand the niat ter. We had not thought uf i-taking party capital of any sort, much less attempts! to make any for the 1 lenio cratic national party. But, when the strange assertion was made, that this was a " Universal Suffrage" victory', and it scmed to us that a new party wa- to lo set up and made out of it, we protested against an attempt to weaken the only existing great con servative national organization, for the purpose of making an experi ment with any little fractional af lair in Tennessee. Even if a new party was desirable, the time seennil to us unprnpitious for its organization, and we believed such an attempt, so far from succeeding, would only work into the Radicals' hands, a it has already done. We are now pleased to see the Banner aliandon the attempt, which, after all, is likely to prove harmless. We are happy to be advised that our cotem porary lias thought better on the sub ject, or what Is stiH lietter, never en tertained the design. Let the bygone lie bygone. We neither charge the Bamur with "deceiving the people of Tennessee," or, any more than the Appeal, with being capable of doing so. We accept as true its declaration tliat "so far from desiring the estab lishment of any third party, we infin itely preferred, and so, we believe, did the majority of our fellow citizens, that there should be no party at all for the present." We differ as to what the people preferred but let that pass. That the Democratic party, being largely in the majority in the South, and holding its leaders, had much to I do with bringing on the war is true, i If the Whigs had been in power at I the time, the same charge might have I been made against them, with the j same justice, for the people were not divided into parties, but nearly unan imous on the question. The idea of no party, and of standing independent, holding the balance of power, which the Banner now emphatically favors, looks like irettins back to a third party again, and to the impracticable j thins? of a "Liberal "party, whicn that paper has abandoned, or in courtesy we will say, has never en dorsed. It is well to be presently consistent with one's self. "Con sistency is a jewel," more particu larly in that sense. Does the Banner propose now a "balance of power" party, organized or unorganized? If it wants no new "Liberal" party, does it want an unorganization, to be called the " no party " organization? " Leading " journals should be care ful how they lead the public. And, if we must follow, we hope they w ill be kind enough. to give us more ex plicit directions. The .4 ratanche mistakes us exceed imdv in supposing we are so much fossilised as' to look for our future whollv to the past. That seems, ou the other hand, to be rather what our neighbor is doing just at present. He parades the figures of two or three months ago. We may parade those of six as well. As our circulation Is progressing with more than common rapidity at this time, we prefer to make a comparative showing two or three months in the future, instead of that of two or three months in the past, if he insists on it. We do not underrate the Acalanehe as an able journal, and know its power and in fluence, which we are not anxious to circumscribe. We believe it is at heart patriotic, even when we differ from it. and desire to present a con trary view on any subject. We do not desire to do it an injury, and see no sufficient reason why it should de sire to do us one. We prefer a gen erous emulation and rivalry to any unpleasant or personal disagreement with our friends. We are willing that both journals should live together, as the representatives of differing views, for that is rather advantageous than pernicious to free and fair discus sion of all subjects. The Aralancte will find the AfflU young enough to employ fully its powers as a com petitor. If it wins, it will at least find an enemy sufficiently worthy of its steel to warrant its respect. The New- York lit raid has a keen vision to ls72. Overrating the so called " Liberal " party movement in the South, it draws conclusions on the basis of three formidable parties, one of which Is still-born. Thus it concludes a long article reviewing the "situation:"' "So we have now three political parties in the field. The regular Re- ..ol.lleon narlv Vorth und South.
