TUESDAY FEimUABY 9, 1875.
No doubt t, entertained that Hon. B.
H. Hill will reooive the Democratic non),
jnation for Congress in the Ninth fiistriot,
and that ho will be opposed by Mr. Prico,
and perhaps other “independents."
Thc capture by tho Cuban revolution
ists of the port of Jibara is regarded as a
▼ery important event of the war, as it is
believed that they can permanently hold
it, and that it will enable them to keep up
communication with the outside world.
Several other advantages latoly gained by
them are reported.
As anthority nsnally trustworthy states
that the Increase of the public debt as
shown by the statmeot for January,
would have been five millions but for the
withholding of warrants for ten days
past. The same authority states that war
rants for $15,000,000 Bre now witbhald,
having accumulated within a year.
Sr.sATon IIouton urges as a reason
w hy his amendment regulating the count
ing of tho Electoral votes should bo
adopted, that if only one house can
object to the counting of tho vote of e
State it might afford opportunity to
throw thc election of a President into tho
Honso of Kepresontatives. He uevor
manifested any aolicitnde on thia sub
ject until the Democrats had secured a
majority in the House.
The Ne*b York lleraUl makes- thia
rude reference to tho leaders of the dom
inant parly in Congress : “Ostensibly a
Kepublican caucus considers plans for
protecting the negro in tho South ; in
realiy it considers how it oati carry the
elections in tho Southern States ; and in
these two points are nil tho policy of the
dominant party—how to carry The elec
tions ; how to get the offices and dis
tribute plunder, and how to make tho
msno'uvicn oontrivol for this end
seem like movements taken
enra the lights of an oppreasod peo
ple."
Gen. Sheiuiian eherged that 3,500
murders for politictl causes had been
committed iu Louisiana. Tho New Or
leans Piaayuiic says that the investigation
made to verify this >t-dement lias so far
disolosed only oigbt political tumdeis,
leaving 3,410 yet to be found. If the
sixty said to have linen killed at CJolfnx
are added, the count will still be 4,433
short. But it is said that the Congres
sional Committee have stopped the inves
tigation, and will devote their attention
to Colfax and Cousliatta. It was found
that three-fourths of the murders report
ed ware committed by negroes, sud very-
few of them lied any connection with
politics.
Odb Northern oxohaugos generally eeu-
sure Hon. John Young Brown for deoeiv-
iug the Speaker, but they have no sympa
thy for Butler, and think that ho deserved
all that Brown said of him. We take n
different view of thc matter. The Speaker
had no right to jump to a conclusion as to
what Biown was going to say, or what ap
plication ho was going to make. His in
terruption and caU glueing of Brown was,
therefore, indocorus, if nut impertinent,
and Brown was only responsible for what
he said about Butler ; not for the evasion
of an improper question. The proper
course for the Speaker to pursne would
have been to let Brown say what ho in
tended, thou rap him down and l5F the
House deal with him for his violation of
its rules or decorum.
Moan “REooNBTnmrnoN.”—Weave ad
vised of frequeut uieetiugs of the ltadi
eal Congressmen—especially the Southern
Radicals—iu caucus at Washington, to
concoct measures for subjecting the
Southern States to military government
again and controlling their votes in the
next Presidential election. It is repre
sented dial there is opposition to tho pro
gramme by tho more respectable Hopnb
beans, blit that tho enrpet-baggora, who
have tho sympathy of tlie President, are
urgent and importunate. The Washing
ton correspondence of the Baltimore
American states that the select oowdHt
tees on Alnhaui* and Mississippi hsvo
power to report nt any lime, and that the
Radical caucus lins appointed a sub-coin
inittce to meat with the members of those
two select committees and prepare a bill
“for the better protection of the citizens
of the South. " Tile measures contemplated
are said to lie two years’ supplies for the
army, provisional governments for some
of (i-e .States and a law ullowiug His Ex
cellency the President to deolnro martial
law in Southern districts at his discretion.
Poor, SutAlNO ON THE RESULT OP THE
Uuui'iilh Teial.—The Brooklyn corres
pondent of the Chicago Tribune says :
"do intense is the interest iu the matter
that pools are sold on the issue of the
trial, ns on the result of a horse taco.—
On Saturday n’ght, at Day’s, No. ltiti
Fifth avenue, a largo number of these
pools were sold amid the utmost hilarity.
Tho majority of purehasua evidently
agree with tho majority ot tho public—
that there will he no deftuito result to
the Iris.. The “disagreement of the
jury" w-as the favorite against ibe field,
which consist 'd of Beecher ami Tilton—
that is to Hay, hole of (wo to one were
made that Ihcro wool I be n disagreement
of the jury rather than that either plain
tiff or defendant would get a verdict. In
some of the pools the agreement was
nocked down at $50 to tyt-'.'i for the field,
and for a verdict for Tilton ami i? 1 for
a verdict for Beecher."
A Washington em'-espoudeut of tho
New York World makes this references to
Senator Brownlow :
Attendants carry him twice a day to
ami from ins chair, at tho extreme left
of the President's desk, dose to the
dour. There he e : tpale, attenuated,
ghostly, never speaking, never smiling,
voting by signs, and apt arenlly lifeless,
save for tl o perpetu il quiver and twitch
of n terribie palsy. Snch is “Pursou
Brownlow, of Tennessee.'’ Iu tact, there
a re so many disabled .Senntois that the
government has bad to put au ole
LOUISIANA—COM PRO31INE.
The whole oountry regard* the politionl
complication in Louisiana with much in
terest, because they involve principles
of government of -the mtmost importance
at the present time and iu 111* future. It
may be said, indeed, that the oonfliot go
ing on in Lonlsana between popular
right and official power is a question for
the dooision of the peoplo of the whole
Union. It is not, therefore, only a ques
tion of local Interest or scope. The-re-
ports of a “compromise,” which have
linvo been rife for a d ty or two past, con-
cern us in Georgia almost as much as
they do the people of Louisiana, beoause
the latter are contending for rights as
dear to us as to them—for rights which,
if they surrender them by concession or
compromise, wo can hardly hope to main
tain. We, therefore, trust that the
Conservatives of Louisiana are not pre
pared to consent to any arrangement
which reoognieea Kellogg as tho rightful
Governor of the State. Tills is the great
question of principle involved. Another,
of scarcely less importance, is the restora
tion of the status in tbo Legislature when
the Federal soldiery invaded it and took
out some ot the members. A compromise
giving tbe Conservatives a majority of ten
me jibers iu the House wonldrrad# the set
tlement of this quastion,aad leave the prec
edent as a warrant for tbe repetition of the
outrage either there or elsewhere. Tho
act has received the emphatio condemns
tion of a large majority of the American
people, and the people of Louisiana can
not plant themselves upon stronger
ground than that which they occupied in
their resistance lo this aggression on their
rights and tho rights of all the States in
the Union.
The equivnlente proposed for this sur
render of principle and right nre not
worthy of eunsideratio'i. They amount
merely to tho reconciliation of a few
members oh the Legislature with Kellogg
and tiro placing of them iu the position
of accredited legislators. The “compro
mise" will tot even give them a majority
in the Legislature, beoause the Radical
majority in the (senate is larger than the
proposed Conservative majority in the
Uoiiho. It wi'l not give them a United
Htntes Senator, because if they reoognizo
the Kellogg government Congress will
slso toeognizs it and admit Pinchbaok.
It will also iuvolvo tbo sacrifice of a num
ber of Conservative Representatives as
clearly electod as tBose who will take
saats under tho “compromise." nud will
be nu net of treaobery to them.
We hope that the feeling of opposition
which bus been aroused by tho report
that this “compromise” was on foot will
load to its rejection by the Conservatives
and to their continued maintenance of
the stand in which they are clearly sns-
taiuod by the political sentiment of the
country.
country, aw here, there it no leader ready
to form an opposition within tbe Repnb-
iiuau party or to give expression to tbe
thought which )»M M maSg minds. A
convention of leedipff J&epnblicanB has
been quietly talked of, but time is re
quired to determine upon each scion,
and Can glean is so ndar Its elose tbet it is
hardly potslble now to Influence that
body br to change the purposes of those
w.ho handle the mejority in its houses.
The administration' leaders have lost time
and opportunities, hut still hope to be able
to bring forward the measures they regard
as most important. It is not impossible
that they will leave the South in the
bends of Hie Excellency, taking care to
give bio eueh eitraorainary powers es
would be included in e civil rights law, a
martial law act and a' considerable army.
The general committee or esuons which
he* in hand the preparation of Southern
measures does not wait for the reports of
investigating committees. The report of
the New Orleans sub-committee has not
yet been permitted to eee the light.
It 1 adds to the difficulties of tbe Bitna-
tion that the Democrats have not since
tbe session opened won confidence, and
are farther than they were threo months
ago from being able to rally to them
selves the dissatisfied part of the Repub
licans. Th*y- have wise and capable
men in both houses; bat it is felt here
that they have lost good opportunities in
the oountry, espouially iu tbe Sen
atorial elections. There is a feel
ing that they do not went recruit*. They
have made the same blunder of whioh
Henry Wilson acensos His Excellency the
President. They have refused to take
the best men wherever they could find
them. “Nothing, draws us to the Demo
crats," said a very able Republican in
eonverstttiou’’1oiday In’the House. “I,
for my part, abhor the measures which
are proposed ; bnt what I oan I do. I
could pick out five Democrats snd five
Republicans in the House new, who,com
ing together, oould end would agree upon
a policy that would restore the oountry at
onae to pease and prosperity. It is so
easy a task, and yet it ia impossible, lie-
cause party feeling reigns, und moderate
counsels have no ebanoe of a hearing or
of influence."

THE (JNUKY HIM..
TUa Uusury bill, which bos passed tbe
Senate of Georgia, anil is now before tbe
House of Representatives, is entitled “an
act to rogulato tbo rulo of interest in this
State, to define usury and to presonbo a
remedy." The first soction provides that
mto of iutersst in this State, whore tbe
seiiiu is not otherwise agreed on in writ-
ing by tbo parties, absll be seven per cent,
per annum, os heretofore allowed by law.
Section second provides that whenever tbe
parties to any note, bond, or bill, or other
contract, or evidenco of indebtedness
which bears interest, shall sgroo upon
any other rate of interest that does
not exceed ton percentum per an
num, sud shall insert tbe amount or
rate of interest so agreed upon in tbe
written contraot, the same shall be legal
aud valid to all intents und purposes, and
the courts of the Unite shall enforoe snch
contracts ; sud that the provisions of the
bill ahull extend to any and all the banks
in this (Rate, which shall by any means,
directly or indirectly, charge or receive
any greater interest Ilian the anionnt al
lowed in this not. Tbe third section pro
vides that the reserving and contracting
to reserve and take any rule of interest
exceeding ten per reht. per annnin is
hereby declared to bo usury, aud that the
lender shall nut recover such usury, bnt
shall be entitled to recover his principal
and seven per oent. interest on the same ;
aud no usury hereafter paid shall be re
covered back, unless sued for within six
months after tbe passage of tho set.
The Convention Question.—We have
anticipated difficulty in uniting tlio sup
porters of a Couatitntioual Convention
upon tho aatio of representation in
th* body. In previous articles we have
explained the coutliet between the consti
tutional requirement nud the wishes and
usages of tho people, as to the basts of
representation. It appears that this dif
ficulty is having tho anticipated effect of
diminishing the strength of th* move
ment tor a convent iou. The Atlanta cor-
respondent of the Augusta Chronicle
writes :
Though it is not improbable that the
Legislature will pass a lull to anbinit the
question of a Constitutional Convenlion
to ilia poople, it is conceded that it will
lie by a close vote, and may fail alto
gather. There is doubtless a majority of
tbe members who favor coiling a Couyen
tiuo or rather submitting tbe question to
the people, bnt they nre inharmonious and
may not be able to unite on a bill suitable
to all. Tbo bssis of representation pro
vided in (lie hilt of Senator Reese and
Representative Candler is the bone ef
contention, parlies from those districts
of <ho State sparsely inhabited objecting
to tbe bill because it gives such power
aud influence to the populous counties.
For instance, they say tbe counties of
Chatham, Fulton and Richmond haviug
a delegation of twenty four will have a
power in tjie Convention equal to that
possessed by twenty-four of tho sniaMer
couutie; aud they ore fearful that in
making the roapporlionmeut of the Gen
eral Assembly some counties, by reasou
of their want of population may be de
prived of all immediate representative;
or that some other measure discriminating
against tbe rural disljriots will bo adopted.

TH* LATE EIGHT.
A speoial dispatch to tbe Galveston
Newa, dated at Brownsville on the 3d
inst., says:
There is another version of the fight in
Starr county. Letters from reliable per-
sons at Rio Grande City, Btarr connty,
state that the recent fight in Blarr county
was not a fight between the soldiers and
oattle thieves, but between the soldiers
end citizens of the lUncho ot £1 Orayo,
brought on by the soldier* themselves.
It appears that n equal of tire men
went to a store iu the rancho after night
fall, it is supposed to get liquor. The
store was closed, and the clerk came out
tho book way to inquire what was wanted,
when the soldiers fired upon bim, wound
ing him aud killing another man stand-
ing near him. When thc people of the
rancho followed them for tbo purpose of
arresting thorn, the soldiers again
fired, and the fire was returned, wbiob
resulted in the killing of two soldiers and
one citizen.
Gen. Hstoh went to the rsncho next
day nnd arrested all the rancheros, num
bering 27 men, and carried them to Ring
gold Barracks aa prisoners, where they
were still held at the date of the letter,
January 30, and refused to deliver tbe
prisoners to tbe Sheriff and civil authori
ties. The fight ooonrrod on the night of
tbo 37tb of January. The citizens of the
rancho and its vioiuity are vouched for as
being quiet and law abiding people.

Daniel In the Hands a»f a Quaker,
Nantucket people enjoy a reputation
for smartness, and ev*n Daniel Webste
found hit mrfeh there. The story as
told by Mr. Webster ie s* follows:
Tbe oourt hekl a term on the island
periodically. There was cot much litiga
tion. But the suits were heavy, reluting
to ships, whale fishing aud oil. The judge:
sad lawyers usually went over from tbe
continent and spent s week or ten days,
aud flniabed the business of tbe session,
One day one of tbe Friends of tbe Island
called kt my offioe in Boston, sad said:
“Friend Dauiel, what wilt tbou ask to
come down to Nantuoket and plead a case
for me before tbe judges?"
“I will go for a thousand dollars.”
“That is too much, friend Daniel."
“But I’ll have to go down Saturday,
and perhaps remain the whole week fol-
lowing; I would as soon argue tbe whole
docket."
“Well, friend Daniel, if thee will argue
snch cases as I will present to thee be
(ore my case is called, I will give tbee ■
thousand dollars," so the bargain was
■truck.
My client want to Nantocket, and
found bis case at the foot of the docket.
He went from man to man, aud saw all
who had any ease on the doeket, and slid
“What will thee give if I get tba great
Daniel Webster to plead thy cause?'' He
took retainers from a dozen men. Some
gave him filUkj, and sodtfl ftnOO. He had
grace euoagb to give me the $1,000
agreed, and paid my expenaea in tba bar
gain. I argued the douket right through
for plaintiff and defendant, until I reach
ed my client’s case He struck the tml
attce, aud admitted as the steamer leftftbe
wharf that ho had got his cose argued and
pocketed $1,500 bo-ides.
“Joun Bbown,"—Galled tbe janitor, and
John Brown canto ont with measured tread
while one of tho boys hummed:
“John Browu’s body
Is strapped npon his back."
“John Browc, do you think it ia the
correct thing for a man to go whooping tip
and down the street, kicking at doors, csl
ing to pedestrians and declaring that 1
liok any four men in Detroit ?’’
"Not hardly," admitted Brown.
“No sir, it isn’t. In the first place you
oouldn’t lick one aide of one fall-grown
l^an, nnd in the next place you’ve no bus
ness getting drunk nnd howling around
What would thia country have been to-day,
