Spain Will Make an Apology !
TY<; heai' reports fi'om Washington that
there will be no use for all of our ships of
war that have been nibbed up and re
painted, manned and sent to sea. Spain
will apologize, and there will be no war.
Well, what if Spain does apologize ? Will
that lie any guarantee of the good be
havior of the Cuban junto ? The men
who rule Cuba care not a straw for the
present government of Spain. They are
rank Carlists, Monarchists, and they hate
and despise the Republic in Spain. The
Spanish government may apologize as
much as they please, and the Cassino in
Cuba will do as they please. This has
already been proven. The Spanish min
ister telegraphed to them not to put the
Yirginius prisoners to death. Already
the four Cuban officers had been put to
death, and the next day after they got
the dispatch they shot Capt. Fry and for-
tv-nine of his men, and the government
of Spain dare not punish these murder
ers. It is the Cuban junto that we
must have an apology from. Spain will be
no guarantee for the good behavior of the
Cassino. They have no respect and no
fear of the Spanish government. Whilst
the Republicans in Spain are apologizing,
the Junto in Cuba are breathing nothing
but tlireatcnings and defiance. Let us
thrash out tliis cut-throat Junto in Cuba,
and then we can apologize to Spain for
doing a good righteous job for her which
she could not do herself. The present
Spanish ministry dare not punish the
murderers of our countrymen, because it
would be unpopular in Spain, and would
probably bo the cause of their expulsion
from office. Nor dare they give up Cuba
or acknowledge her independence. The
Si laniards are too proud to hear of the
dismemberment of their empire. The
only way for us is to chastise the Cuban
Junto, and then let Spain do wliat she
thinks best about it. Spanish apologies
would not be worth a box of Spanish ci
gars
Since writing the above, news has been
received in Nsw York and Washington
which entirely changes the appearance of
the whole affair. Up to the 21st inst. it
seemed to be the opinion of Gen. Sickles,
our embassador to Spain, and of the State
Department, that the Spanish government
would apologize for the conduct of the
Cuban Junto, and promise better behav
ior for the future; but instead of that the
Spaniards tell Gen. Sickles that they will
manage their affairs in Cuba to suit them
selves, and will not allow the United
States to interfere in their internal affairs.
That is they seem to think they have the
right to board any of our ships at sea
whenever they suspect them of being filli-
busters, and carry them into Cuba, and
when they have got them on Spanish soil
they can deal with the passengers and
crew as they please—can shoot them with
out any trial, merely on suspicion, and
we have no right to intermeddle or com
plain. as it is only a municipal affair in
which outsiders have nothing to do. If
all these reports are true, we don't see
how a war can be avoided, unless our
government backs out, which we don’t think
they will do. Whatever else we may think
of President Grant, we don’t think he is
the man to back out of a fight. Resides
a war with Spain would in all probability
be the very thing the President and his
political friends would desire at tliis time.
It would be calculated to draw off the at-
t 'iition of the people from the corruption
of those in office. It would also give him
an opportunity of bestowing offices upon
many of his friends, and spending millions
of money, and greatly increasing his pow
er. It will also give him and his Cabinet
an excuse for increasing the army and na
vy. which they ardently desire; and if the
war can be protracted until the next Presi
dential election, and with the right kind
of management it probably can be, it
might be the means of electing him a
third time. Indeed there are so many
reasons why the President should want a
war with Spain as to lead to a very strong
suspicion that Gen. Sickles has been or
dered to quarrel with the Spanish minis
try on purpose to make the war inevita
ble. and to fire the American heart. Sick
les. by report, is the very man for such
a business. The Spanish Republic has
so many reasons to wish to be on friend
ly terms with this government that it is
hard to account for their conduct on any
other principle. We think it is a misfor
tune to both countries that our govern
ment had not adopted the British style of
dealing with such affairs: that is, have
sent a strong squadron immediately to
St. Jago de Cuba and demanded the pun
ishment of the officers who murdered our
people, and if that was refused, have
knocked the town to pieces and let the
Spaniards do what they please about it.
But tliis probably would Dot have an
swered the purpose of the Administration
as well as a protracted war with Spain.
The President's extreme and unusual
caution in not acting until Congress
meets so as to throw all of the responsi
bility upon Congress is suspicious, as
heretofore he has not been backward in
taking responsibility where military' move
ments are concerned. Let the American
people watch the course of events and
see if they do not discover that Gen.
Sickles and some men in authority near
er home, have not had a hand in tang
ling the skein of Spanish diplomacy. If
this is not the case the sudden change of
the Spanish ministry from friendliness
and an apparent desire to give every sat
isfaction, to insult and defiance, is mirac
ulous. Such sudden changes do not
take place with men like Castellar without
a cause, and we believe Gen. Sickles
could explain the cause, if he would.
It will be recollected there was a report
that the President had written to Gen.
Sickles and given him important instruc
tions. This report was afterwards con
tradicted, but it may nevertheless have
been true. After all it is of little con
sequence what the home government of
Spain says; they have no power over the
Cuban volunteers and it is with them
we must deal.

What Produced that Sudden Change
in the Semper of the Spanish Min
istry ?
In another article we have shown that
up to the 21st inst., all of the dispatches
from Gen. Sickles, and all of the reports
from the State Department declared that
the home government of Spain was wil
ling to make any apologies and do every
thing in their power to satisfy this gov
ernment. But all of a sudden we hear
that the Spanish Ministry snubs and in
sults Gen. Sickles : says our government
has no business to interfere or protest
against the murder of our citizens. This
sudden and extraordinary change in a
civilized government is most surprising,
and must have been produced by some
extraordinary cause. From all that ap
pears to the public, it was produced by
the news of the murder of Capt. Fry and
his crew; but that should have humiliated
the Spanish ministry rather than make
them defiant. Had the letter which the
President is said to have written General
Sickles with his own hand anything to
do with this sudden change ?

Convention of the People*
The necessity of a Convention of the
people of the State is now’ being serious
ly agitated in different p portions of the
State. This Convention has become al
most indispensible. When we took charge
of the editorial department of this paper,
we announced that we should wage war
upon the present Constitution as a fraud
upon the people. We have not done so
hitherto, because we believed that the
time had not arrived, when we could suc
cessfully throw oft'tliis badge of servitude,
as galling and as humiliating to the feel
ings of a freeman, as should be the collar
of a Russian Serf. The whole Constitu
tion from the inception to its final con
summation under a pretended adoption,
was foisted upon the people, w r ith a large
portion of the intelligence and respecta
bility of the citizens entirely cut off from
all participation in it, and in their place,
a horde of Semi Barbarians were substitu
ted clothed with a pow er of w’liich they
were as incapable of understanding, much
less appreciating, as the wildest savage
upon our borders. But they subserved
the purpose of the Radicals and Scala
wags of the times, and were the fit, prop
er, and pliant tools for such political in
famy to work and to use. If nothing
else, the very thought of such an out
rage upon the rights of our people, would
make us wipe it out—expunge, forever
from our archives this written testimony
of our wrongs and our degradation, even
if the instrument itself was otherwise
unobjectionable. But independent of the
humiliation with which we have been
borne down, by having our fundamental
law tlirusted upon us by strangers and
our former slaves, the instrument itself
is full of the most objectionable features.
Take for example the qualification of a
member: a stranger from the coast of
California in one year, is eligible to the
Legislature to the enforcement of the
laws he makes, without a single other
qualifiaction, nay even without the qual
ification that is exacted to place a citizen
on the list of Jurors—a strange anoma
ly indeed—something after the fashion
of putting the cart before the horse;
while a fool enacts laws, it requires a sen
sible man to set upon them. In harmo
ny with this beautiful feature of Radical
Legislation, is that other splendid spec
imen of law giving that does not even re
quire the Solicitor General to be a resi.
(lent of the State, much less a resi
dent of the circuit over which he is to re
present the magesty of the State m en
forcing its laws,—a feature in the Con
stitution, the very reading of which rat
tles with the clank of chains. But this
magnificent Assembly of Negroes, Scala
wags, Foreigners and id ornue genus of
modem Solons were themselves ignorant
of the Constitution of the United States,
and its amendments which they made the
supreme law of the land. Hear them.
‘•The Justices of the Peace shall have
jurisdiction except as herein after provi
ded, in all civil cases where the principal
sum claimed, does not exceed one hun
dred dollars, and may sit any time for the
trial of such cases, but in cases w’here
the sum claimed is more than fifty dol
lars there may be an appeal to the Supe
rior Court, under such regulations as
may be prescribed by law r .”
‘‘There shall be no appeal to a jury
from the decision of a Justico of the
Peace except as provided in the forego
ing paragraph.”—Sec. 6, par. 2 and 3,
Constitution of the State.
The 7 article of the amendments of the
Constitution of the United Statos, ex
pressly declares that in all suits on con
tracts where the value is of twenty dol
lars, shall be by jury, and yet the wise
acres -who tinkered at the Constitution,
make a provision in the direct teeth of
that instrument, which they declare to be
the supreme law of the land—giving the
powers to the justices to decide on cases
without a jury under fifty dollars even
without appeal. We shall perhaps have
something more to say of this document
at some future day.

Let us Have a Convention to Save
Money!—The only argument against a
Constitutional Convention to amend our
Scalawag Constitution is, that it will cost
money. We have shown that the neces
sary cost of a Convention will be trifling
—nothing in comparison to the amount
it will save in the reduction of the pay of
members and clerks. But this is but a
small portion of what it will save. A
Convention would forever prohibit the
payment of any of Bullock’s fraudulent
bonds; it would prohibit any future legis
lative from granting State aid to incor
porations and individuals. But this is
not all, our whole Judiciary system needs
revising. Many portions of our present

Good Faith Indispensable.—The Co
lumbus Sun lias some remarks under the
above head that deserve to be read and
re-read, and above all, taken earnestly to
heart by such of our planter friends as
come within their scope. The Sun says:
Some of our merchants complain that
planters who owe them are neither set
tling by money at the time specified, nor
delivering to them cotton in liquidation,
even though they offer to take it at more
than current prices. This is not only
acting in bad faith, but it must be dama
ging to both parties. The first business
duty of every man is to pay liis debts.
In a pressure like the present, one man’s
payment must help another to pay, and
thus the whole commercial macliinery
will be set in motion, just as one cog
wheel acts upon another. But if no one
starts the motion, the w’hole machinery
must remain inert, and all who are de
pendent upon its activity must suffer. If
the planter refuses to part with any por
tion of liis crop—even enough to pay his
debts due—because he thinks the price
too low, how’ can he expect the merchant
or mechanic to settle with his creditors,
and how can the latter grant additional
credits or accommodations in this state of
affairs? The planter is immediately in
terested in sustaining the merchant whom
he owes, as well as bound in honor to pay
him; for if the merchants now doing busi
ness were forced to suspend because they
could not realize upon their accounts, as
suredly it would be a hard matter for plan
ters to get accommodation from others
who may have before them the sad exam
ple and warning of their predecessors.
Honesty and interest combine in calling
for a settlement of the indebtedness of
the year, where it is possible to make the
settlement, even though cotton is not
commanding the price anticipated when
the accounts w r ere commenced.

Judge Young is holding a Circuit Court
here. The criminals are suffering consid
erably. Several were convicted on Mon
day for carrying weapons, and the like.
The young States Attorney, Mr. H. S.
Adkins, discharged his duties well. Judge
Young is a whole team in himself. Hon.
Wm. Cullum, came yesterday and enter
ed on the duties of Attorney General. To
day I see an old Anderson county man on
the bench, Hon. W. G. McAdoo, who was
bom and raised in this county, but has
been absent for several years until lately.
He is presiding as Special Judge in the
trial-of an important land case. Judge
Yoting had been one of the lawyers in
this case. Messrs. Henderson and Pros-
on Civilization, or they would act in a
better manner. Castellar is wonderful as
a belles-letter statesman. His denuncia
tion of those insurgents in the Cortes
shows he has a perfect appreciation of the
Spanish character, but he ought to dis
tinguish as a reader and interpreter of
history between the centralized power at
Madrid, which he wields now while strik
ing at the Carlists, and the Royalist, Car
list, ^subordinate men whom he suffers
to rule Cuba.
In answer to an inquiry regarding the
course of action our government should
take, Mr. Cox replied: It is very possi
ble, if not probable, that our Govern
ment will make some sort of a hitch with
the Republican Government of Spain by
which an intervention will ensue. Wheth
er tliis intervention be armed or not, it
may, in the logical sequence of events,
break down the whole Spanish rule in
Cuba, make her independent, and when
this is done she will gravitate by fixed
political laws toward the greatest and
nearest power—the I uited States. Rea
soning from antecedent probabilities, I
infer that the dilatory’ and cautious Se
cretary of State, unless driven by
public opinion, will play with the ques
tion until it gets into a diplomatic tangle
and thus avoid a war with Spain. I can t
believe that Gen. Grant, to insure a Ihii d
term, would precipitate matters with a
view to his aggrandizement or elevation.
If John Rawlins were alive the Gene
ral might be prompted to energetic action;
he might have a touch of Jackson or
Marcy; but as it now stands we don t
know what this Administration will do
in foreign any more than in fiscal a flail s.
One thing is sure, however, about this
Cuban business, and that is, ever since
the United States leaned toward a free
sea and against the English doctrine of
mare clausum, especially in the war of
1812, not to speak of the slave trade and
the searches incidental thereto, we have
never allowed our ships, on whatever bu
siness intent to be overhauled at pleasure
either by Spanish buccanneering or Eng
lish insolence. A flag covers everything
in the ship, and as in the Trent case even
hostile ambassadors. The Spanish seiz
ure of the Virginius was a violation of in
ternational law, from the American point
of view, and the bloody butchery of our
people, and all others in that ship, cries
aloud, not only from the ground but from
the sea, for reparation if not vengeance.
Serious News From Spain.
Madrid, November 20.—A Herald spe
cial of this date says the situation is grave.
There is a serious misunderstanding be
tween Sickles and the Spanish Cabinet.
On the arrival of the news of the capture
of the Virginius, President Castellar call
ed at the United States legation, and ex
pressed his regret and ordered a suspen
sion of the sentence.
When Secretary Fish telegraphed the
news of the execution, General Sickles
sent a note at two o’cloekin the morning,
demanding a stay of proceedings.
The foreign secretary answered, ques
tioning the accuracy of the information
and intimated that Mr. Sickles’ action
w r as not authorized.
Thereupon Sickles, in the name of the
United States, addressed a formal pro
test against the inhuman butcheries and
insult to the United States, and again de
manded that Spain should enforce obe
dience to her orders in Cuba, and insist
ed on the rights of Americans to trial
under the treaty of 17S)G. He complain
ed that the American Consul at Santiago
was prevented from using the telegraph
to Washington.
The Spanish Secretary answered that
the matter was wholly a municipal affair
between Spain and the Virginius pirates,
and Spain could not tolerate American
interference.
The interview ended by Gen. Sickles de
manding that Spain should enforce the
order of her Cabinet to Cuba for the sus
pension of the executions.
The Spanish Minister of Foreign Af
fairs haughtily declined to permit Gen.
Sickles to discuss the municipal affairs of
Cuba.
The interview terminated angrily—
Sickles saying he would hold no more
personal, but only official relations with
the Minister.
The public feeling runs high. The
Spaniards blame the United States for the
Cuban insurrection, and say they will
welcome war.
Minister Sickles does not see how war
can be avoided, as Spain will concede
nothing and public opinion will prevent
President Castellar from making any con
cessions.

nt by Ihe !tl«b—War
Washington, Nov. 21.—Dispatches re
ceived by the Secretary of State are con
firmatory, in part of the special telegrams
from Madrid, in regard to the demonstra
tions against Minister Sickles, though
the Secretary is of opinion that the spe
cials are somewhat exaggerated. The
mob which yelled in front of the Ameri
can legation was promptly dispersed by
the Government, and there is no doubt
here, in official circles, but that the au
thorities at Madrid are fully capable of
preventing any outbreak.
The position of Minister Sickles is
very uncomfortable, but it is not believed
that any violence will be offered, as Mr.
Sickles telegraphs that the Spanish offi
cials are equal to the emergency.
Minister Sickles is hourly in communi
cation with the State Department, and his
dispatches indicate the existence of a very
strong feeling against the United States.
Mr. Fish submitted a number of tele
grams from Minister Siekles to the Cabi
net meeting to-day, and the session, which
has just commenced will in all probability
be one of the most interesting and seri
ous meetings since the commencement of
the present complications.
Members of the Cabinet this morning
seem to be very serious in their demeanor
and there appears to be more extended
discussion in all places as to the proba
bility of war than has yet been noticed.
At the same time, so far as lias been

Dr. Pierce’s Nasal Douche, with

of treatment proven, that the proprietor

THE ONLY KftUttA MEDICINE
that at the same Time
Purges, Purifies, and Strengthens the
System.
Dr. Tmt'a Pill* are composed of many ingredi
ents Prominent among them are Sarsaparilla aud
Wild Cherry, so united as to act together; the one,
th rough its admixture with other substances, purify
ing and purging; while the other is strengthening the
system. Thus these Pills are at the same time atonic
and a cathartic,a desideratum long songktfor by med
ieal men, bat never before discovered. In other
words, they do the work of two medicines and do it
much better than any two we know of, for they re
move nothing from the system but imparities, so that
while they purge they also strengthen and hence they
cause no debility and are followed by no reaction.
Dr. Tnil’s Pill* have a wonderful influence on
the blood. They not only purify without weakening
it, but they remove ail noxious particles from the
chyle before it is converted into fluid, and thus makes
impure blood an utter impossibility. As there is no
debilitation, so there is do nausea or sickness attend
ing the operation of this most excellent medicine,
which never strains or tortures the digestive organs,
but causes them to work in a perfectly natural man
ner; hence persons taking them do not become pale
and emnociated, but on the contrary, while all impu
rities are being removed, the combined action of the
Sarsaparilla and Wild Cherry pnrifies and invigorates
the body, and a robust state of health is the result of
their united action. Price, 25 cents a box. Sold by
'I druggists. Depot 48 Cortlandt St-, New York.
