IHDEPEHDB5CE WITH A 8TRIN0 TO IT- The reason assigned why an extra session of Congress would bo neces sary was on account of Cabs, whose new constitution would soon be ready for submission. The Sena tors were anxious to avoid the extra session, and .therefore they con trived a way to obviate its necessity. Senator Piatt, of Connecticut, chair man of the committee on relations with Cuba, fixed op an amendment to the army appropriation bill which is said to have been acceptable to the Senators who insist upon carry ing oat the Teller resolution in good faith. The Piatt amendment re cites the Teller resolution, which promises independence to Cuba, and authorizes the President "to leave the government and control of Cuba to the people" as soon a3 a govern ment shall have been established under the constitution, which shall define the relations of the United States with Cuba, as follows: "1. That the Government of Cuba ball never enter into any treaty or otber compact with aoy foreign Power or Powers which will impair or tend to impair the independence of Cuba, nor in any manner authorize or per ' mit any foreign Power or Powers to obtain by colonization or for military or naval purposes or otherwise lodg . ment in or control over any portion of aid island. ' "2. The said Government shall not assume or contract any public debt, to pay tbe interest upon which and to make a reasonable sin kins; fund pro vision for the ultimate discbarge of which the ordinary revenues of the islands, after defraying tbe current expenses of government, shall be in adequate. 3. That the Government of Cuba consents that the United States may exercise tbe right to intervene for the preservation of. Cuban independence, the maintenance of government ade quate for the protection of life, prop-" . erty and individual liberty and for discharging the obligations with res p-ct to Cuba Imposed by the treaty of Paris on the United States, now to be assumed and undertaken by the Gov eramenf of Cuba. u'4 ?na4 acts of the Waited Btates in Cuba during its military oc cupancy thereof are ratified and val Id 4 ted, and all lawful rights acquired thereunder shall be maintained and protected. o. that the Government of Cub will execute, and as far as necessary extend, the plans already devised or orther plans, to bs mutually agreed up in. for the sanitation of tbe cities of the island, to tbe end that a recurrence of epidemic and infections disease? may be prevented, thereby assuring Prctiuu to tne P oPnd commerce l o ba' " weil M 10 108 commerce of the S juthera ports of th Uuited Slates and tbe people residing therein "6. That tbe Isle of P.a-i shall be omitted from tne proposed coastitu tional boundaries of Cuba, the title thereto being left to the future adj t ment by treaty. -7. Toat to enable the Uaited 8tates to maintain the independeoce of Cuoa and to pw.c-. the people thereo'. as well as for Its own defence, tbe Gov ernrr,-,oi Cuba will sell or We to the Uaued 8tates lands necessary for coaling or naval stations at certain specified points to be agreed noon with ?.QPf,dent of the Uoited Stales. v o Tnat by W,T of '"rther assurance the Government of Cuba will embody the foregoing provisions in a perma nent treaty with the United Slates." Some of these conditions are rea- sonable, assuming that the United States have any right to impose conditions that must be recognized by or incorporated in the constitution of Cuba. As precautionary measure it may be well for this Government to pledge and obligate Cuba not to pat herself in the power of any foreign government either by treaty or by getting into debt to them beyond her ability to pay, for that might cause entanglements and bring abont conditions which might make it necessary for this country to go to would bo recognized by this govern ment until they had been submitted to and approved by him, and it will also be remembered that some time afterwards he took a junketting party with him, one of whom was his business partner, in a govern ment vessel ostensibly oh official business and spent some time in tbe island, personally observing, no doubt, the matters in which he or his friends might be interested There are others, of course, in it, to whom Senator Hale alluded in his speech when he said, nearly twelve monts azo, that there were ceftain influences in New York which would opp se the withdrawal of -the United States from Cnba, and these same money influences are to be taken care of under this fourth clause. The fifth is reasonable and will be as good for the Cubans perhaps, as it will Le for us, unless it be true that they do not suffer from yellow fever which sometimes gives ns trouble and fills graves in our South Atlantio and Gulf cities, into which it is brought from Cuba. It is not nnreasonable that as a matter of self- protection weshould insist upon steps being taken to prevent the break ing out of the fever in Cuban cities from which it is carried to such of our Southern ports as are frequented by vessels from those in fected ports. We gave that as one of the reasons justifying interven tion claiming that Spain did wisely to prevent the outlook of yellow fever or to prevent- carrying it to this country when it did break out. The Cubans can't reasonably object to that although they may not so fully realizd the necessity of clean liness -as we do. It has been claimed that the Isle of Pines, referred to in the sixth clause, is ours under the treaty with Spain, but the fact is the Isle of Pines was not named, because it was regarded as a part and parcel of Cuba, a mere suburb, so to speak, that didn't amount to much in itself unless a line were drawn between it and Cubs, when it might become important on , account of its proximity to Cuba, more impor tant to Cuba than to any other power interested. The thought of laying claim to it by this Govern ment was an afterthought, but we have no idea that if Cuba assents to the other conditions there will be any contention over the Isle of Pines by this Government. The clincher is in the seventh clause, which demands that Cuba shall sell or lease ns sufficient lands for coaling or naval stations, not give us the permission to coal in her harbors, but pledge herself for a i certain consideration to be agreed j npon the right to use such, harbors as we may desire for coaling and naval stations, that is stations where we may feel free to go and come and tarry as long as we choose with our J war snips, which, of course, means practical control of these coaling or naval stations. This will carry with if the right to keep troops in these stations, as may be deemed neces sary. To this the Cubans may ob ject, and possibly will, and perhaps this is anticipated. Taken all together these demands mean a very long and strong string tied to Cuban independence. crop now grown and .would easily produce without taxing her cotton growing ; area all the cotton the world now needs or will need for some years to come, and .with that practically 'unlimited quantities of wheat and . other grain, frnits and vegetables, and grasses enough to pasture millions of stook. . In the future she may possibly be divided into several States, which might hasten development, but that will be some time off yet, for the Texans are proud of their big State; The discoveries of great oil deposits, the extent of which no one can esti mate, will be a potent factor in hastening development and 'adding to her wealth, power and greatness. -Sw r No Potash.

Cook have not arrived yet Ex Governor Jar vis addressed the court, saying that ordinarily thirty days would be a reasonable time to allow the defencs to prepare an answer to the articles of impeachment; but they desired as speedy a trial as con sistent with a proper defence of the judges. Therefore, he would ask un til March 6.h proximo to answer tbe charges, and that the trial begin March 11th. Mr. Rjuntree asked the court to re quire an answer March 4.h; trial to bein March 6ih. , A resolution by Mr. Morrison, of BcbmoLd, that defendants file answer March 6tb and the trial begin March 11th, in accordance with Mr. Jarvia' request, was unanimously adopted. This puts tbe entire trial beyond tbe limit of the present session: so the t-ial will be held by the Senate, with out pay.

Everybody knows that Texas is territorially and productively a great State, but few who do not take the trouble to post themselves realize how great she is. The following which we clip from the Baltimore dun will give some idea: "Texas has now hMnm th n.nt 8tate of tbe South, having nearly a million more inhabitants than Geor war again to protect Cnba. Th I ,a' wa'?a has heretofore hsd that is nothing nnreasonable nor is there SZSHa In? Sew KKHfiS nujtmug seinsn in that demand and vwnwn,t exclusive or.Uassacbusetti. hould object to it unless they might The discovery and development of its construe it as a reflection on their patriotism, and good sense. The third clause is skilfully con stucted and so phrased as at any time-to authorize interference by the United States, if there should be any internal trouble or dis sension, under the plea of "preserv ing Cuban independence." The adoption of this will be abetter thing for the Cubans than forns because it would be a guarantee of peace in the island when factions might arise, as they do in nearly all the Latin American Republics, and they were reminded that if they got to mixing up with each other the United States might walk in and call them both to taw, in which tent the United States would prob ably conclude to stay in. Under this cunningly phrased clause any sort of a racket which threatened trouble or disorder would be a justification for interference by the United States, while it would give the United States Government more power in Cuba than it has in any State in this Union. The fourth clause looks out for the friends of ex-Secretary Alger and others who took time by tbe forelock and rushed over to. Cnba before the echo of the guns fired at Santiago had died out and went for concessions, franchises and various oil fields, the vast production of cotton the extent and constant increase in rauroaa mueage mark it as one of the greatest and most progrensive States in the Union and the States and Ter ritonea adj .cent to it seem to be shar ing its nrosneritv. "Io n article in the Manufacturers' wrow. u. alien Wtiley givs a lut of railroads whicn have been planned and are likely to be Jbuilt in the Southwest, including Texas. Ar kansas, Oklahoma and Indian Terri tory. These proposed roads have a mileage of over 5 000. 80 much rail road construction iudicates great busi ness activity in that part of tbe Union, besides abundant prosperity and confi dence in the future. 'Under the terms of tbe resolution oT Congress admitting: Texas into the Union the right to divide tbe State into fire 8tates was accorded. The time will come when Texas can be carved into five great 8tates At the present time, if it wereequl y diidd according to population, it would make five Sut-s escb having a population of over 6C0.000 at.d each one being greater in population than any of tbe fifteeo of the present smaller StaWs of the Union.

Reasonably well culti " vated Toxaa could produce enough breadstuffa to feed the population of tbe U-iitrd States and couid raise the wub-Iu's supply of cotton, besides leav Ing a pas are field as large aa tbe 8iate of New York. If it were divided into five tqual States each 8tate would be nearly as large as New England or as large as tbe Siates of New York and Connecticut ombioed.

She produces a third of the cotton Promisent Citizen of Bladef, Wed Kiowa Here, Died Snddealy Yesterday. The Fayetteville Observer of yester day afternoon has tbe following notice of the death ofCapt T. J.Green which will be read with sincere regret by his numerous friends in this city: CaotainT. J.

Burglar Bonad Over. George Nash, alias Julius Culley, the Wilmington bu-glar arrested last Saturday in Norfolk, was bound over to the Criminal Court by Mayor Wad dell in tbe municipal court yesterday morning and in default of $300 bond in each of the two cases against him, be was sent over to the county jail. The charges against him are breaking into the sto e of the Mercer & Evans CompanAand breaking into tbe jew elry establishment of Mr. George Hon nett The' negro still persists that be is innocent, but the officers are confi dent that there will be no trouble in making out strong cases against him in the higher court. The atory of bis pos session of the goods stolen encom passed by such varied inconsistences that it removes all doubt regarding his guilt. The Eastern District Criminal Court for New Hanover couotv. Judm E K Bryan presiding, will be con vened on March 11th. It is presumed that the matter of criminal indictments axainat the officers of the Mutual Fi delity Company of Baltimore, will be considered by the grand jury at this term. Lieut.

Branch, assis tant, for the entertainment on March 20th, of the three sister lodges upon the occassion of the second of the series of joint meetings recently arran ged. Tbe crowded. Senator McNeill, at eleven o'clock, is making a speech against the dispensary and in favor of submitting the question to a vote of the per pie. The fight is tbe hardest yet had before any committee. Judging from tbe enthusiasm aroused by McNeill Anti dispensary will be victorious. The contention is apparently sustained that there is firiy per cent, more crime now than before the dispensary was inaugurated. - The joint committee at 11:30 o clock to- ight decided vote ten to eleven to report the Fayetteville Anti-dis pensary bill unfavorably. The oppo sition is led by Brouehton and Judge Graham. A fight will be msde to pass tbe bill despite tbe unfavorable report It is reasonably certain that it will pass tbe Senate. The j int Committee on E Jucation completed preparation of the bill for a general tchool law to night It will be printed to-morrow. It is a little different from tbe o d law. The powers of county superintendents are en larged, and changes are principally along lines suggested by the Teachers' Assembly. Raliigh, N. C, Feb. 26. The Qeaeral Road bill.
