MACON, JUNE 21.1870.
Rev. Dr. Wills*
Wo see the session of the Presbyterian ohnrch
caHs the congregation to vote on the question
of accepting Dr. WiU’s resignation, next Sun
day. Wo are not posted upon the practical of -
feet, under the Presbyterian system, of a refus
al to accept a resignation of this character, but
from the fact that the question is presented to
the people, wo may at least infer that they have
properly some say about the matter and what
they say will have some effect The point of
aye or no is not a proper subject for newspaper
canvass; but we may be permitted to express
our regret at the possible withdrawal of Dr.
Wills from the community and pulpit of Ma
con. Ho is a man and pastor of such sterling
worth as to have gained in character, reputation
and favor with every year of his protracted re
sidence among us. To a genial and sunny tern
perament and popular manners, he adds a sound
and critical scholarship—a clear, discriminating
and vigorous mind—a fine style, rare oratorical
abilities, a good judgment, and a thorough and
conscientious devotion to religious principles.
Wo do not doubt of his success in the eminent
position to which he has been called, but the
question for the congregation and church to de
termine is, whether it is their duty to give him
up. Dr. Wills is now absent attending the ex
amination of the Georgia University, as chair
man of the Board, and will not return before
the middle or last of next week.
TlieWeatHer.
We really begin to fear that there is some
thing in the expression “having too much of a
good thing.” We are tolerably sure that a lit
tle more sun, and considerably less rain would
suit crops and folks of every degree, a great
deal better. We have almost forgotten how a
real all'day sunshine looks, and as for a speck of
our dearly beloved dust—why its memory, even,
is gono.
From almost every quarter, the report is
pluvious to the point of a regular soak. Grass
is flourishing like a “trooly loil” man in a fat
office, and cotton and com are gaining wonder
fully in weed and height, if not in a good pros
pect for fruit and ears. Some farmers say there
has been too much rain, and that harm is being
done. Others talk more hopefully, and some
others say there has not been a bit too much.—
We hope yesterday closed out the clerk of the
weather's last consignment of this sort, and that
now we may have a chance to find fault with the
sun for a while.
“Fnt Yourself in His Place.”
Messrs. Sheldon & Co., the New York pub
lishers, send us, through J. W. Burke & Co.,
the above novel by Chas. Kendo—his last, and
one of the best he has written. We have read
it with increasing interest as it progressed from
month to month in the Galaxy. It lacks no
element that gonius. fancy, sparkling dialogue
and skillfully constructed plot con summon to
achieve a brilliant success. As an expose of the
infamies and outrages of some of those organi
zations known as Trade Unions in England, it
cannot fail to make a decided sensation, and
will, we hope, do much to break down and ut
terly destroy those features in them that are, as
shown in this book, so utterly indefensible.
Tlie New Attorney General.
The appointment of Amos T. Akermon, of
this State, lately United States District Attor
ney for Georgia, to the high position of Attor
ney General of the United States, will excite
great surprise Where he is not known at all,
and possibly where he is best known.
Viewed from our standpoint, however, the
fact is not at all astonishing. We suppose it
had came to pass at Washington that a change
in the Cabinet was absolutely necessary, and
that the Southern “loyal” clement demanded
recognition, and so it fell out that Akennan
was selected as its representative man. The
timber out of which even passable law officers
can be made is very scarce in the crowd to
which Akerman belongs, and we do bim only
justice in declaring our conviction that he is
about the best material, in point of ability,
that was attainable. He is cold blooded, calcu
lating, persistent, energetic and tireless, and
hates the South and the Southern people most
cordially—all of which traits, it appears to us,
are likely to be very acceptable in the chief law
officer for the present Administration.
We take it for granted that Grant has read
Akennan's speeches as District Attorney, upon
the rights of “rebels,” and the power of a mili
tary commander to make laws and declare what
are and what are not crimes, and has heard his
opinion, so often and so insolently thrustintothe
faces of the people who raised bim out of the
dust of obscurity, concerning the “mean des
potism” of the late Confederate Government.
And we take it that these things so odious to all
honest men, everywhere, have proved his
strongest recommendation and sturdiest back
ers. No Eadical in Georgia or anywhere else
at the South, in our knowledge, has wagged a
more venomous tongue against the cause now
lost, and its honest supporters. He was a sup
porter of it while it lived, and made, no doubt,
all he could out of its “mean despotism.” He
is furthermore indebted to those who were, urn
like himself, honest in their devotion to it, for
all the position and prosperity he ever enjoyed.
The people of Georgia raised him up and push
ed him forward. He is their debtor for more
than he can ever pay. The fact may gall him,
but is a fact, nevertheless. Can it be that the
memory of their kindness, and how he hasre-
quited it, makes him so bitter against them.
We wish Grant’s administration joy of its new
law officer and we wish him joy of it. We
think they will suit each other admirably. The
administration probably needs a fresh infasion
of venom against the South, and a Southern
Eadical is the man to supply it. It indubitably
needs vigor, and Akerman certainly cannot
make it weaker than it is. In a cabinet where
intellectual ability is regarded as worse than a
crime, the new Attorney General may possibly
find himself at the head of the list.
The Georgia Press. I been consumed in a few moments, had it not j Sj» eclal Message on Cuban Affairs.
J. J. Harvard, who cut his wife’s throat and been for the dog. Thef; re Qnginat?dfrom & ^ Preaident sent tbe following message to
afterwards his own, was tried therefor and a<j- aioVe, Mia had penetrated the floor
1 where the dog was in the habit of Bleeping.
The first sweet potatoes of the season made
»pp™, to 8.™^, Tiuntoj, a. to
cents & quart.
Good !Good!
Under the head, “Has He Forgotten,” the
New York Sun (Eadical) gives Grant this dig
under the fifth rib:
“ One of the points of the Cuban message to
which General Grant has signed his name, is
that the Cubans ‘ are busy in carrying devasta
tion over fertile regions.’ They are also con
demned by him for ‘ the wanton destruction of
material wealth.’
Does the President remember the orders he
gave to Sheridan in 1864, to devastate the Shen
andoah Valley ? We presume the fact has pass-
from his mind.”
The Philadelphia Press is quite mum over the
Cuba message. The N. Y. Sun vents its indigna
tion in tho headings. The Tribune challenges its
statement of facts in reference to tho straggle
and says his sympathies all run the other way.
The Commercial Advertiser pronounces it un
timely—uncalled for—“an attempt to influence
the action and sentiment of Congress”—certain
ly a very high crime and misdemeanor which
may be predicated of every message ever sent
to Congress. The letter-writers say tho mes
sage was a particular topic of malediction
among the Badicals at all the street corners
and wherever politicians congregate.
Charles Dickens.—Dr. Sheldon Mackenzie
is occupied in writing a life of Charles Dickens,
to be prefixed to a volume of his uncollected
pieces, in prose and verse, which T. B. Peter
son & Brothers announce for immediate publi
cation. This volume, uniform with Petterson’s
well known 12mo., edition of Dickens’ will ap-
pear with as little delay as possible, will con
tain recollections, anecdotes and letters, and
will trace the entire literary career of the great
novelist, from his first connection with journal
ism as a reporter, to its unexpected and lamen
ted termination on the 9th of June, 1870.
Messrs. Havens & Brown inform ns that they
will have this Book on sale as soon as issued
from the press.
White Sulphur Spbisos.—Tho New York Sun
follows an announcement of negotiations for the
purchase of Greenbriar White Sulphur Springs,
Va., with a column onslaught on that summer
resort in Virginia hands, as a den of thieves—a
nest of treason and a dreadful gambling hell.
It is to bo purchased by the Chesapeake and
Ohio Bailroad Company, whereof Gen. W. C.
Wickham, “formerly a Confederate, but now
an ardent Bepublican,” is President, and recon
structed in all those “high moral” elements and
principles, which prevail at Saratoga, Newport
and Cape May, where a characteristic elegance
and simplicity in attire and demeanor, abash
fashion, folly and vice. Under these auspices,
the White Snlphnr Springs will be whitened into
a whiter sepulchre.
L. Q. C. Lamar.—The N. O. Picayune, of last
Wednesday, has the following:
That well known Southern gentleman—known
and respected everywhere for his accomplished
maimers, his culture and his devotion to all true
Southern people—Col. L. Q. O. Lamar, of Mis
sissippi, has arrived in the city and is the guest
of Mrs. Stamps. We are informed that at the
commencement exercises of Mrs. Stamp’s acad
emy at the Varieties Theatre, Thursday evening,
he will assist in the distribution of diplomas, and
will deliver an address. We look forward to the
address as a rare intellectual treat, such as can
be expected from a gentleman of CoL Lamar’s
varied acquirements.
Product op One Vine.—Mr. M. F. Stephen
son, in the last Southern Cuitivator says:
“A Seuppemong grape vine five years old
will pay expenses; at ten years old will pay $ 1 ,-
®j?I”?? at 20years old §2,000; at 30 years
old §3,000, and increase for ages. The Lord
Baleigh vine, on Boanoake Island, N. C., was
threo inches in diameter in 1610, when his col
ony landed there—tho first in North America.
It now covers )£ acres, and last year yielded 46
barrels of wine, 1840 gallons, at §2 per gallon,
§3680. To European or Northern visitors this
statement would be called fabulous, but it can
be seen any year; and in Tejrell county, N. U.
there is one which is much more productive!
This one last year made 63 barrels—2,520 gal.

Tlie President’s Cuban Message.
The copy of this message, which we printed
yesterday, was telegraphic and procured from
the Louisville Courier-Journal. It was, as a
matter of course, imperfect, and was “short"
by one-third of the document. As an interest
ing portion of current history, therefore, we
correct, add the remainder, and republish the
whole on the fourth page.
The message was a bombshell among the
Congressional Badicals. It was wholly unex
pected and lay on the Clerk’s desk, in both
Houses, for somo time—the members in con
tented ignorance of its character and impor
tance. When, at length, it was taken up and
read towards the heel of the day’s session, a
great sensation followed. The majority, with their
exalted notions of the sphere and prerogatives
of a “Supreme Congress,” took flame at once
’against it as an insnlting attempt at “Executive
dictation.” Gen. Banks, chairman of theHonse
committee on Foreign affairs, tried the role of
contempt. He said the committee had already
considered the subject and submitted their re
port, and he moved that the message lie on the
table and be printed. But finally, on a motion
to refer the message to the committee, Banks
pitched into it without gloves, in a speech
which the Bichmond Dispatch characterises as
the most effective which has been heard in the
House since the time of Winter Davis. Banks
paid so little respect to the President, as to
charge the message upon Caleb Cushing, whom
he berated as the hired attoraoy of the Presi
dent.
In the Senate, the same charge was made, and
the only Eadical member pleased was Snmner,
whose views chime with the message. Mr. Mor
ton, it is said, will fiercely assail it, and the
President’s Cuba and St. Domingo messages to
gether, will evoke hot reprobation in both
bodies. In either House the message was referred
to the Committee on Foreign Eolations, and it
will be thoroughly canvassed.
The New York World speaks of this message
as an “iU-tcrilten” document, hut a glance at it
•will show the reader it is nothing of the kind.
It is the work of a dear and well informed
mind. It is adroit and strong, and right, as to
its law, bnt as to the facts, we are unable to say
whether they are correctly and fairly presented.
Such leading administration papers as the New
York Tribune complain that they are not. The
entire camp of the faithful is in a buzz of dis
satisfaction over tbe document, and let them
fight it out. ,
“Preserve Your Complexion,”
As the proprietor of the “Balm of a thousand
Lilly and Bose-blushing Virgins,” earnestly ex
horts tho Feminine portion of the community.
Wo had failed to appreciate the chivalrons char
acter of onr military pro-consul, Major General
Terry, until our attention was called to special
order No. 14, bearing date Juno 14,1870, which is
thus set forth in the Atlanta New Era:
I.—It having been reported to tho Brevet
Major General Commanding tho District, that
female citizens in tbe employment of contract
ors on tho Air Line Bailroad are worked in the
eats on said road, digging and moving earth,
and are made or permitted to wear menV cloth
ing, while so employed: It is hereby ordered
that no female convicts shall bo made or per
mitted to perform such labor, or ahull be em
ployed in any work nnsnited to their sex.
Since the General has undertaken to main
tain the delicacy of the sex in the person of its
African representatives, we beg leave to suggest
to bim that during blackberry season many
thousands of them abandon tho protection of a
roof and household employments, and reckless
ly expose their complexions to the midday snn,
some of them even without the protection of a
hat or any other article of “men’s clothing.”—
They pick blackberries “in cuts,” and out of
cuts, with equal indifference, and arc frequent
ly represented to “cut np generally.” We ap
peal to the General whether these “female citi
zens” of African descent should not be brought
under the restraining influence of the military,
and be employed in “work adapted to their
sex.” Interpose, General, and bring the pow
er of the Military department of tho govern
ment to the rescue of feminine delicacy of per
son and complexion as illustrated by these “fe
male citizens.”

Bev. 0. W. Howard writes as follows to the
Plantation.
The ride across from Binggold to Lookout
Mountain, fills the mind with thoughts of plenty.
Two ridges, the Pea Vine and Chickamauga, are
crossed. Except these ridges the lands are of
great fertility. The ground is literally bnrthened
with the wheat crop. Finer, I have never seen,
There are field’s on the Chickamauga and in
McLemore’s Cove that will make from twenty
to thirty bushels to the acre. There was somo
little rust but not enough to be injurious. Wheat
in that section will hardly be worth more than
seventy-five cents per bushel.
A Meriwether connty correspondent of the
Chronicle and Sentinel under date of June 13th
says:
Daring the past two weeks we have had fine
seasons. Corn is improving very fast. Cotton
was not all np when the rains set in. That which
was up is growing and looking tolerable well.—
The prospect is good. The fields are clean and
free from grass. The wheat crop is now ripe
and being harvested. The crop is free from
rust, and there is very little smnt. The grain is
good; plnmp and heavy. Spring oats were al
most entirely cut off by the drouth. Fall oals
(or those sown in the fall), are pretty fair, hav
ing had the benefit cf the early April rains.
David Nickerson, a very bright mulatto, who
lives in Burke county, 20 miles from Augusta,

The Chronicle says Mr. Lewis Benan, con
ductor on the Augusta and Savannah railroad
was severely hart, Wednesday, at Lawton, by a
barrel of flour which he was helping to carry
falling on him. Internal hemorrhage ensued,
and he is now confined to his bed in Augnsta.
A correspondent of the Chronicle gives the
following acconnt of a most remakable man:
I have now, in my mind’s eye, a planter in
Baldwin connty, who has not bought a grain of
com or a pound of bacon this year; and he
says he will not have to buy either article this
year. He has had everything to contend with
that any other farmer or planter in the county
has. How did he do it ? He made corn enough
to do him; he made some cotton; he had his
watched daily, and locked them np in a log
house at night. That’s the way he did it. No
factor's raven pokes his black and ponderous
bill in his face and croaks, “face the music,
November 1st, 1870."
The Atlanta Intelligencer says Mr. Weill, the

Congress Monday:
To the Senate and Souse of Itcpresentatives:
Fine Oats.—Wo have, throughMessrs Adams
& Bazemore, and Col. W. H. Willis, of Ogle
thorpe, a bunch of oats raised on the plantation
of Mr. Taylor in Macon connty—tho best we
have seen yet. The stalks nrs six feet four
inches above ground and they are half an inch
in diameter at tho base. Tbe heads are from a
foot to sixteen inches long and all parts are per
fect. It is a shame for people to bay oais who
ean raise such grain at home.
“Mb. Speaker, I straddle that blind,” is what
a Californian says when he seconds the motion
The jury Commisioners of Bichmond county
have decided to exclude all professional gamb
lers from the jury list.
The Columbus Enquirer draws a parallel be
tween the present spell of weather and that of
June 1863. We hope its appiehensions may
not be realized.
We are now experiencing a spell of weather
very much like that of 1863. In that year there
was a remarkable andnnnsual wot spell in June.
It commenced just about the time when wheat
was ready to cut, and continued so long and so
incessantly that the greater part of the wheat in
this region sprouted upon the stalk. Quite a
large proportion of the wheat crop of the South
was lost, badly damaged, by this causo. The
com crop had a very fine growth of stalk; but
the rains slacked before tasselling time, and
wore much needed when silks appeared. An un
usually large proportion of the corn stalks of
that year, though tall and stout, had no ears of
com. This crop, also, fell far short of its early
promi5£, because of too much rain when the
stalk was growing, and too little in f rniting time;
ot least this capriciousness of the season was
generally believed to do tho cause of so many
largo and barren stalks.
The excessive rains of this June are sufficient
to raise apprehensions that such another crop
year as 1863 is upon us. We may yet hope,
however, that the rains now falling in such abun
dance will not exbanst the season’s supply before
the time for the formation of oars on the corn
and the development of bolls on the cotton.
The stalks of both are now promising; the fruit
depends upon the character of the seasons yet
to be experienced. There are those who have a
theory that the seasons complete a cycle in
seven years—that is, that a season similar to
that of this year may reasonably be looked for
seven years hence. We do not know that this
theory has any reliable confirmation from ob
servation; but there is certainly a remarkable
similarity between the rainy season of the spring
of 1863 and that of 1870.
On last Sunday night the gin house of B. Jb.

Tho Atlanta Sun says:
Tho Bight Boverend John W. Beckwith was
in this city on Wednesday last, for the purpose
of considering tho necessity of organizing a new
Parish in the city. He was fully convinced that
one Episcopal Church conld not supply tho
wants of the people hero, and that a large field
was open for work. He expressed his intention
to give bis canonical consent, so soon as he is
notified that fifteen hundred dollars is secured
for one yenr, to pay the salary of a rector,
promising to add to that amount five hundred
dollars himself.
Tbe Green Lino Convention at Atlanta have
resolved to increase their oars to 600. A new
freight tariff, to go into effect July 15th was
adopted. It slightly increases present rates.
An Executive Committee was also appointed.

We find the following crop items in the
Chronicle and Sentinel:
Oglethorpe County, June 14.
The wheat crop of this year is elegant—best
in years. Corn crop is pretty fair and doing
welL Cotton growing finely, although late,
stands good. Oat crop a failure. A good deal
of branch bottoms, too wet for spring culture,
is being, and has been, planted in corn. The
guano smelleth and the cotton groweth when
the rain falleth. Hardly any money in the
county. Guano took a third. Bacon has taken
a third, and ran a little ahead on tick, and the
Insurance agents take the balance of last year’"
winnings—take italL B.
Crops in Coweta.—The farmer’s prospects in
this section ate very promising. Shonld the sea

Of the railroad meeting at Geneva Wednes
day the Columbus Enquirer learns the follow
ing:
From Wm. M. Eeynolds and Col. Mustian,
who were delegates, we learn some particulars
of a meeting held at Geneva on Wednesday, to
take into consideration the bnilding of a rail
road from Americas to Newnan via Geneva,
Talbotton and Greenville. Judge L. Feather-
stoD, of Newnan, was Chairman. Fall delega
tions were present from the counties of Coweta,
Meriwether, Talbot, Marion, Schley, and Sum
ter. Tho utmost harmony and good feeling pre
vailed. Short and pointed addresses were de
livered by Messrs. Wright and Buchanan, of
Newnan; Hinton and Hudson, of Marion, and
Mathews, of Talbotton; in the course of which
it was shown that the people of several counties
would cheerfully hypothecate lands and grant
tho right of way. The people all along tho pro
posed line are alive to the project. Committees
were appointed on Charter, Correspondence,
and State Aid. Wm. F. Wright, of Newnan, is
chairman of the Charter Committee, and C. W.
Hancock, of Sumter, on Correspondence. Our
informants state that in private interviews as
surance was made that the city of Atlanta and
tho West Point railroad would liberally assist in
the enterprise. Mr. Eeynolds thinks that if the
proposed road from Columbus to La Grange is
made to deflect to the right this enterprise will
probably fall through, as far as the upper coun
ties are concerned, for our line would subserve
their interests well enough; otherwise he re
gards the Americas and Newnan route as a cer
tainty. A strong and united effort is to be
made to secure State aid for the project.
The contract for putting up the Fair building-
for the “Columbus Industrial Association” was
awarded, Thursday, to a bid of §5,230. The
buildings are to have their roofs weather boarded
and then covered with “felting.” Of the build
ings the Sun says:
The contractors obligate themselves to have the
buildings finished by October 1st. They embrace
a grand semi-circular amphitheatre, capable of
seating comfortably4000 persons, with a prome-
nadeabove 500 feet long by 15 wide; the construc
tion of two large departments underneath for
the exhibition of articles—one 15x203 feet; the
other 15 x 225—each properly subdivided—a
ladies’ refreshment saloon to be at one end and
a gentlemen’s at the other—and a band and
judges stand to be located in the centre of the
exhibition track, which is to be of 500 feet cir
cumference. This lower story is to have also a
promenade 500 x 84 feet.
The Sun has the following items:
Day’s Wore op an Insane Negro Woman.—.
On Thursday last, June 9th, an insane colored
woman, Sarah Williams, living at A. C. Wil
liams’ in Harris county, near Wisdom’s store,
went to the house of William Hill, colored, and
beat bim and his wife severely, and from there
to Mr. A. C. Williams’ and beat bis wife and
two daughters seriously. The recovery of one
of the children was despaired of until Thursday
morning, when she seemed convalescent. She
then went from there to Mrs. Bivors, a widow
lady, but finding the house closed, and the fam
ily within, accomplished no^mischief besides
breyking out the glass with a stick.
Sensible County.—Lee county, in Alabama,
just over the river, won’t beg for credit next

amounts they had planted in grain and cotton,
with the following result: No. of acres in ce

that. 990 more acres in cereals than cotton.
Comparative Seasons.—By reference to our
tables of statistics we find that in 1869, heavy
showers fell on June 3, June 10, June 11th near
ly all day, light showers ali June 12, and heavy
rains all June 13th, light showers June 17, and
hard rains June 18th and 19th in afternoon,
light showers the 23d and 25th and 26th. No
more rain then until July 5th. So last year
does not differ very much from the present sea
son.

which had for more than a year been existing m
Cuba between portions of its inhabitants and the
Government of Spain, and to the feelings and
sympathy of the people and Government of the
United States for the people of Cuba, as for all
people struggling for liberty and self-govern
ment, and said that the contest has at no time
assumed the condition which amounted to war
in the sense of international law, or which would
show the existence of de facto political organiza
tion of the insurgents sufficient to justify a rec
ognition of beligerenoy.
During the six months which has passed since
the date of the message, the condition of the in
surgents has not improved, and the insnrrection
itself, although not subdued, exhibits signs of
advance, but seems to be confined to an irregu
lar system of hostilities carried on by small
bands of armed men without concentration,
through the woods and sparsely populated re
gions of the island, attacking from ambush con
veyances and small bands of troops, burning
plantations and estates of those not in sympa
thy with their cause; but the insnrrection has
not gained ground. It is equally true Spain has
not suppressed it. Climate, disease and occa
sional bnllets have worked destruction among
the soldiers of Spain; and although the Spanish
Government has possession of every seaport and
town on the island, they have not been able to
subdue the hostile feeling which has driven a
considerable number of natives to armed resist
ance against Spain, and still leads them to en
dure the danger and privations of a roaming
life of guerrillas. On either side the contest
has been conducted, and is now being carried
on, with lamentable disregard of human life,
and of the usages and practices which modern
civilization has prescribed as the necessary pro
cess of war. Tho war of Spaniard and Cuban is
alike bringing devastation over fertile regions.
Murderons and revengeful decrees are issned and
executed by both parties. Count Valmaseda
and CoL Bolton, on the part of Spain, have each
startled humanity and aroused the indignation
of the civilized world by executions each of a
score of prisoners at a time, while Gen. Quesa-
do, the Caban chief, coolly and with apparent
unconcern has admitted the slaughter by his own
deliberate order in one day of upwards of 650
prisoners of war. A summary trial, with few if
any escapes from conviction, confirmedbyexecu-
tion, is the fate of those arrested on either side
on suspicion of infidelity to the cause of tho par
ty making the arrest
Whatever may be the sympathies of the
people or of the Government of the United
States for the cause or tho objects for which a
part of tho people of Cuba are understood to
have put themselves in armed resistance to Spain,
there can he no just sympathy in a conflict car
ried on by both parties alike in such barbarous
violation of the rales of civilized nations, and
with such continueed outrages on the plainest
Manciples of humanity. We cannot discriminate
:ii our censure of their mode of conducting their
contest between Spain and Cuba. Each commits
the same atrocities and outrages alike of estab
lished rules of war. The property of many of
our citizens has been destroyed or endangered;
the lives of several have been sacrificed, and the
liberties of others have been restrained. In
every case that has come to the knowledge of
the Government, an early and earnest demand
for reparation and indemnity has been made,
and most emphatic remonstrances been present
ed against the manner in- which the strife is con
ducted, and against the reckless destruction of
material wealth, and cruel disregard of estab
lished rules of civilized warfare.
I have, since the beginning of the present
session of Congress, communicated to the House
upon their request an account of steps which I
have taken in the hope of bringing the conflict
to an end, and for securing for the people of
Cuba the blessings and rights of independence.
The efforts thus made have failed, but not with
out assurances from Spain that the good offices
of this Government might still avail for the ob
jects to which they had been addressed.
During the whole contest, the remarkable ex
hibition has been made of large numbers of Ca
bans escaping from the island and avoiding the
risks of war, congregating in this country, at n
safe distance from the scene of danger, and en
deavoring to make war upon our shores, to urge
our people into a fight which they avoid, and to
embroil this Government in complications and
possible hostilities with Spain. It can scarcely
be doubted that this last result is the real object
of these parties, although carefully covered un
der the deceptive and apparently plausible de
mand for the recognition of belligerency. It is
stated on what I have reason to regard as good
authority, that Caban bonds have been prepared
to a large amount, whose payment is made de-
oendent upon the recognition by the United
States of Cuban belligerency or independence.
The object of making their value thns entirely
contingent npon the action of this Government
is a subject for serious reflection in determining
the course to be adopted on the demand thus
made for the recognition of belligerency. The
liberal and peaceful principles adopted by the
Father of his Country and the eminent states
men of his day, followed by succeeding Chief
Magistrates and the men of their day, may furn
ish a safe gaide to those of ns now charged with
the direction and control of public safety. From
1789 to 1815 the dominant thought of our states
men was to keep the United States out of the
wars which were devastating Europe. The
discussion of measures of neutrality begins
with the State papers of Mr. Jefferson, when
he was Secretary of State. He shows that they
were measures of national right as well as of
national duty; that misguided individual citi
zens cannot be tolerated in making war ac
cording to their own caprice, passions and in
terests, or foreign sympathy; that the agents
of foreign Governments, recognized or unrec
ognized, cannot be permitted to abuse our hos
pitality by usurping the functions of enlist
ing or equipping their military or naval forces
within onr territory. Washington inaugurated
the policy of neutrality and of absolute separa
tion from all foreign entangling alliances, which
resulted, in 1794, in the first municipal enact
ment for observance of neutrality. The duty of
opposition to fillibustering has been admitted
by tho President. It has been one of the con
stant cares of the Government of the United
States to prevent piratical expeditions against
the feeble South American republics from leav
ing our shores. In no country are men want
ing for any enterprise that holds out promise of
adventure or gain. In the early days of onr na
tional existence the whole continent of America
outside of the United States, and all its islands,
were colonial dependents npon European pow
ers. The revolutions which from 1810 spread al
most simultaneously throughout the Spanish
Continental colonies resulted in tho establish
ment of new States, like ourselves, of European
origin, and interested, in excluding European
politics and the question of dynasty and balance
of power from further influence in the new
world.
Tho American policy of tho neutrality, impor
tant before, becomes doubly so from the fact
that it became applicable to tho new repnblio as
well as to the mother country. It then devolves
npon ns to determine the great international
question, at what time and under what circum
stances to recognize n new power as entitled to
plaoe among the family of nations, a3 well ns
the preliminary question of tho attitude to be
observed by this Government towards the in
surrectionary pnrty pending the contest. Mr.
Monroe concisely expressed the rule which has
controlled the action of this Government with
reference to a country pending its straggle, by
saying that “as soon ns the Government as
sumed such a steady and consistent form as to
make the success of the province probable, that
the rights to which they were entitled by the laws
of nations as equal parties to a civil war were ex
tended to them.” The strict adherence to this
rule of public policy has been one of the high
est honors of American statesmanship, and has
secured to this Government the confidence of
the feeble powers of this continent, and which
inclines them to rely upon its friendship in the
absence of all signs of conquest, and tolook to the
United States for an example and moral protec
tion. It has given to this Government a posi
tion of prominence and of influence which it
shonld not abdicate, but which imposes npon it
the most delicate duties of .right and honor re
garding American questions whether those ques
tions affect emancipated colonies still subject to
European dominion.
Tho question of belligerency is one of fact,
not to be decided by sympathies for or- preju
dice against either party. The relations between
the present state of the insurgents must amount
in fact to war. In close international law,
fighting, though fierce and protracted, does not
alone constitute war. There must be military
forcesacting in accordance with the rules and
customs of war, flags of truce, cartels, exohangu
of prisoners, etc., etc., and to justify a recogni
tion of belligerency there must be above all a
de facto political organization of the insurgents
sufficient in character and resources to consti-
meeting the just responsibilities it may inoar
as such toward other powers in the discharge of
its national duties.
Applying the best information which I have
been able to gather, whether from official or un
official sources, including the very exaggerated
statements which each party gives to all that
may prejudice the opposite or give credit to its
own side of the question, I am unable to see in
the present condition of the contest in Cuba
those elements which are requisite to constitute
belligerency in the sense of international law.
The insurgents hold no town or city, and have
no established seat of government; they have
no prize courts, no organization for the receiv
ing or collecting of revenue; no seaport to
which a prize may be carried, or through which
access can be had by a foreign power to the
limited interior territory and mountain fast
nesses which they occupy. The existence of
Legislature representing any popular constitu
ency is more than doubtful. In the uncertainty
that hangs around the entire insnrreetionjhere
is no probable evidence of an election of any
delegated authority or of any govemine&t, out
side tho 1 imits of the camps occupied from
day to day by the moving companies of insur
gent troops. There is no commerce, no trade—
either internal or foreign—no manufactures.
Tho late commander-in-chief of the insurgents
having recently come to the United States, pub
licly declared that “all commercial intercourse
or trade with the exterior world has been utterly
cut off;” and ho further added* “to-day we have
not ten thousand arms in Cuba.”
It is a well established principle of pnblic
law that a recognition by a foreign state of bel
ligerent rights of insurgents under circum.
stances such as now exist in Cnba, if not justi
fied by necessity, is a gratuitous demonstration
of moral support to tho rebellion. Such neces
sity may hereafter arise, but it has not yet
arisen, nor is its probability clear to be seen.
If it be war between Spain and Cuba, and be
recognized, it is our duty to provide for the
consequences which may ensue in the embar
rassment of our commerce and interference
with our revenue. If belligerency be recog
nized, the commercial marine of the United
States becomes liable to search and to seizure
by the commissioned cruisers of both pnrties.
They become subject to the adjudication of
prize courts. ’•
Onr large coastwise trade between the Atlantio
and the Gulf States, and botween both and the
Isthmus of Panama and the States of Sonth
America, engaging tho larger part of our com
mercial marine, passes of necessity almost in
sight of the Island of Cuba. Under the treaty
with Spain of 1795, as well as by the laws of na
tions, our vessels will be liable to visits on the
high seas. In the case of belligerency, the car
rying of contraband, which now 4s lawful, be
comes liable to the risks of seizure and condem
nation. The parent government becomes re
lieved from responsibility for acts done in the
insurgent territory, and acquires the right to
exercise toward neutral commerce all the powers
of a party to a maritime war. To what conse
quence this exercise of those powers may lead
is a question which I desire to commend to the
serious consideration of Congress.
In view of the gravity of this question, I
have deemed it my duty to invite the attention
of the war-making powers of tho country to all
the relations and bearings of the question in
connection with the declaration of neutrality
and granting of belligerent rights. There is
not a de facto government in the island of Cu
ba sufficient to execute laws to maintain just
relations with other nations. Spain has not
been able to suppress the opposition to Spanish
role on the island, nor to award speedy justice
to other nations or citizens of other nations
when their rights have been invaded. There
are serions complications growing ont of the sei
zure of American vesssels npon tho high seas,
executing American citizens without proper
trial, and confiscating or embracing the proper
ty of American citizens. Solemn protests hove
been made gainst every infraction of therightsof
individual citizens of the United States or the
rights of our flag upon the high seis, and all
proper steps have been taken and are pressed
for tho proper reparation of every indignity
complained of. The question of belligerenoy,
however, which is to be decided upon definite
principles, and according to ascertained facts,
is entirely different from and unconnected with
the other questions o£ the manner in which the
strife is carried on, on both sides, and the treat
ment of our citizens entitled to our protection.
These questions concern our own dignity and
responsibility, and they have been made as I
have said, the subject of repeated communica
tion with Spain and of protests and demands for
redress on onr part. It is hoped that these will
not be disregarded; but should they be, these
questions will be made tbe subject of a farther
commnnication to Congress.

Georgia Before the Reconstruction
Committee—A Lively Time—Fanis
north Calls Butler a Scoundrel,
and Butler Tells a Hard Story ou
Farnsworth.
A Washington special, of Tuesday, to the
Bichmond Dispatch,, gives the following aceount
of a very cheerful little scene in the Beconstruc-
tion committee that da-y, when the Georgia case
was under consideration.
Some days ago the Beconstruction committee
at a full meeting, by a bare majority, decided
to attach the Bingham amendment as an amend
ment to the Senate Georgia bill. At a meeting
this morning there were present about one-half
the members of the conmmittee, and most of
these(Batler, Ward and others), were those who
had opposed the Bingham amendment. Finding
themselves in the majority, Hamilton Ward con
curred in the idea of npsetting what had been
done by a full meeting of the committee, and he
made the motion that the Bingham amendment
be strack ont.
Mr. Farnsworth endeavored to prevent the
success of this trick by speaking until the absent
members conld be called in, but Gen. Bntler,
chairman of the committee, choked him off by
putting Ward’s motion and declaring it carried.
This incensed Farnsworth, and he pitched
into Butter in unmeasured terms, ending by
oalling him a scoundrel.
Butler was much excited, but contented him
self with the reply that he could take that from
one who behaved as Farnsworth had behaved in
Boston.
After the war of words had subsided and
Farnsworth had withdrawn from the room, But
ler waslasked what about Fansworth’s conduct
in Boston. He replied that Farnsworth, under
the pretence that something was wrong in the
Boston post-office work, went to Boston with
his committee to investigate him (Butler), and
that he (Butler) in torn had investigated Farns
worth, and found that the latter had put up at a
hotel in disreputable company; that ho (Butler),
fearing that the leaf in the register containing
the evidence might be torn out, had procured a
photograph of it, which ho had now in his pos
session, and whioh ho would show to the House
yet before Congress adjourned.
Charles Dickens Laid Among Eng
land's Heroes.
London, June 14.—At 6 o’clock this morning
the remains of Charles Dickens were conveyed
from his.resisdenee at Gad’s Still, by train, to
the Charing Cross Station. There waited at the
station a plain hearse, without the usual English
trappings, and three plain coaches. In the first
coach were placed the children of the deceased,
Chas. and Hairy Dickens, Miss Dickens and Mrs.
Chap. Collins. In the second were Miss Hogarth,
tho sister-in-law, and Mrs. Austen, the sister of
Dickens; Mrs. Charles Dickens, Jr., and John
Forster. In the third coach were Frank Beard,
Charles Collins, Mr. Owery, Wilkie Collins, and
Edmund Dickens. The entire party were at
tired in deep but simple mourning, without
bands or scarves. There was no crowd at the
Charing Cross Station, and the procession was
driven at once to Westminster Abbey, where the
remains were received by Dean Stanley and
other officials, and placed in the Poet’s Corner,
at the foot of Handel and at the head of Sheri
dan, with Macaulay and Cumberland on either
side. .....' • ,
The usual flowers'wore strewn upon the bier.
Dean Stanley read the bnrial service, the coffin
was deposited in ItsTTnal resting-place, and the
funeral of Dickens was ended.
Upon the ooffln plate were inscribed the
words:
• Charles Dickens, •
• Born February 7, 1812, j
: Died June 9, 1870. j
Thousands of citizens have crowded to the Ab
bey during the day to look upon the spot where
the great novelist rests.

A Military vs a Bogus State Govern

Gen. Young speaks the sentiments of the p*.
pie of Georgia when he asks Congress tociX I
tain an exclusive military jurisdiction overGea
gia, rather than to turn the State over to be tv.
sport, prey and spoil of a bastard Legist-- '
and a government thoroughly distrusted n-
despised even by every sensible and patrlom
Bepublican in Georgia.
How willit benefit Congress ortheEepnblia; I

the little knot of adventurers and factions I
represented by Gov. Bullock with the disorge.

gained by it ? Bullock represents nothing u I
can even be the beginning of a Bepublican pi-!
in Georgia. The foundations of such an ons-. I
ization can only be laid in opposition to eTea-
thing which that desperate little faction edr,
cate or propose. All that they have dose c
can do, is to put patriotisom, common sense
sound discretion to the blnsh and make era;
intelligent and honest naan dread to call hlmsei' I
a Bepublican. No party impolicy can exceed I
that of needlessly renewing the lease of politi
cal power held by these men.
We speak now of the report o? the RepnE I

of a party measure. Its practical effect cm ad;

that party, who is not looking for a chants to

In what peril does such- a ‘scheme invoke the I
