The CsstcUar Government is in the hands j titm winch could possibly be enacted to
of tho Madrid mob, sbd the mob ora in
flamed to marines, over the suspicion that
the American Government has designs
on Cuba. In a phr.nxy of resentment
over this suspicion, it seems they under
took to mob Sickles two or three nights
ago, and would hava dono it bat for the
prompt intervention of an armed police.
The Caatellor administration, hanging
on to power as they do merely by their
eyelids, are forced in aelf-proacrvation to
| avoid, in treating with our Government,
everything which looks like conoassion or
compromise, and hence have bristled up
like porcupine*. The Madrid telegrams
say that CastoUar and Sickle* have had
high words and angry times in their
diplomatic interviews. Sickles, himself,
is a man without character and conduct,
and would be wholly unfit to represent
the American Government at such a
time if its desire or purpose were to
make for peace. But as wo infer that
Grant's administration is not, at best,
very desirous of a conciliatory attitude
in Spair, Sickles, no doubt, answers the
purpose very well at this time.
And os it is in Spain, so is it in Cuba.
Havana is also in the hands of a mob,
and will do anything violent, foolish and
ridiculous which this Government may
need to justify decisive measures. In
short, we never saw a prettier chance for
a fight, and it must be a piece of rare
good luck which keeps the countries at
peace. Tho press telegrams say the ad
ministration has been getting ready for
war for some time, and their preparations
ore none too speody or complete.
Some doubts are expressed whether the
Southern boys will pitch into this war
and fight undor the Stan and Stripes for
the conquest of Cuba. That depends a
good deal on circumstances. If the ad
ministration of Grant should go heavily
for negro enlistments in their Cuba army
it is quite passible that the Southern
soldiers would permit them to try their
luck mainly with African troop* from
this part of tho moral vineyard. But if
thty want the young white men of the
South, we are disposed to think there
will be no lock.

Tho Iron-Masters Groan.
Tho American Iron and Steel Associa
tion held a mooting in Philadelphia lost
Thursday and sat in sackcloth and nahes:
Thu Secretary submitted a statistical
report embracing a general review of the
iron trade. It state* that the present fi
nancial crisis ha* deranged the whole
business and the prices of iron have de
clined, reaching, in some lines, far below
the cost of production. At tho begin-
ninn of November fully ouc-third of the
fnrnaoos were idle, and by the end of the
month one-half of tho furnaces will be
Mown out. Tho rail mills are bare of or
ders, and the stock of pig iron is accumu
lating with no sales nt any price. Thou
sands of iron-workers are out of work,
and those not employed have accepted a
reduction of 15 per cent, in wages. Un
der these circumstances, says the report,
it is proper to consider whether it is wise
to encourage the importation of foreign
iron, twice repeated by Congress in re
ducing the duties within four years. An
increase of duty on pig iron from $0.30
to $9 per ton, and proportionately on
other classes would bo a wise measure of
relief by Congress. It it Utter to hare a
reduced rereuue than cold and hunger in
the homes of American workingmen.
Tho iron masters will nover rest con
tent until they have excluded all foreign
iron and then they will find that they
have only shut up their own shops and
mines. The people con use their dear
iron only to a very limited extent, and
bunco the country is now making and
sailing wooden ships, while more advanc
ed nation* are using iron ships almost ex
clusively i and the supply of timber in
America is becoming scarce while that of
iron is inexhaustible. Tho policy of the
•• iron masters” looks only to keeping up
an exorbitant price for iron, and is
therefore not only exceedingly prejudicial
to tbo people, but also even to their own
trade in any enlightened view of conduci
ng it.
Their study should bo to cheapen pro
duction, and increase consumption;
whereas all their effort* lie in tho direc
tion of keeping up prices by arbitrary
tariffs, imposed st the expense of the
national revenue, and operating fatally
to the consumption of iron in all uses to
which it is possible to apply other mate
rials—such os the manufacture of ships,
bridge* and houses. The demand for
iron at low prices is almost illimitable;
but for iron at high prices is compara
tively light. Evexy American interest
demands cheap iron, but these "masters”
presume deliberately to ask Congress for
legislation to moke iron costly, even at a
loss to the revenue. Could there boa
more foreiblo illustration of the iniquity
of this class legislation ?
Tito Old Game to be Repented.
A clerical Boanerges with sky roetety
proclivities named Talmage, of Brook
lyn, hoe got the war bit between his
teeth, and is fairly running away with it.
In a sermon the other day he said that
all persons who didn’t hurrah and swing
their bats in the air at tho sight of soldiers
marching to moke war on Spain would be
"traitors.” Tho reverend Talmage was
a "war dog”—a regular "bloodhound of
Sion,” during the late civil war, and
knows how effective that cry of “traitor”
was in forcing men to join in the cry for
blood, during those evil days, against
their judgment and convictions, and he
is preparing to put the pressure on again.
Every man who won’t “foam” for war
against Spain is to bo mobbed until ho
does.
What President Woolsej, of Yale Col
lege, Thinks About It.
President IVoolsey, one of the most em
inent authorities in the United States on
international law, has been interviewed
on the subject of the capture of tho Yir*
•rinius, and tho following report wa3
made of his remarks:
Upon being asked whether he thought
bring about a great national harmony be
tween the two sections of tho country.
Virginia would readily respond to a call
for volunteers with fifty regiments or
more if needs'!. They would be tho very
best of her population, all of them men
who bad served in the arraie; under Gen
erals Leo and Stonewall Jackson, and
they would lie led by the very best of his
surviving o’Jicers—such men aa General
George E. Pickett, who led tire terrible
charge at Gettysburg, and Fitzhugh Lee
and others scarcely less famous. There
would bo a keen rivalry among the South-
ora troops, to soo which should first plant
the old Hag of the Stars and Strip-* on
the Spanish fortifications, or make the
most daring charge on tho enemy’s lines.
It would not bo many weeks before the
Spanish troops would bo routed in all por
tions of tho island and compelled to sur
render."
If Smith tolls anything like tho truth
we ere greatly mistaken in oar estimate
of the ox-Confedorates of Virginia. They
have fooled us completely. But we judge
Smith, liko all other scalawags, don’t
know mnch about the sentiment of the
Virginians, llis associations for the past
four or five years have not been sufficient
ly intimate with that class to enable him
to speak for them. Now if it were the
views of tho Virginia negroes, or tho
small bandfull of Smith’s white friends
of the trooly loyl stripe that anybody
wanted to get at,'we would put a pot of
money on Smith’s knowing all abont
them. Lot not that reporter bag the de
lusion that he has found out how the
Virginians feel about a war with Spain.
Ho must consult somebody else to find
that out.
that there was any cause for tho United
States to declare war ag..:nst Spain, he
said, emphatically, no. If he ur.-ierstood
the matter, there was not tho slightest
ground for war; and ho then went on to
say that he was, to some extent, ignorant
of'the true situation, or at least knew
only what had been published in the
public press about it. Assuming that
this was in the main true, the Spanish
authorities have done what they had, ac
cording to the law of nations a perfect
right to do in capturing the Virginias.
If the capture waa made in accordance
with 8paai.h law* ; if the men were tried
and executed in accordance with Spanish
laws, and if the Virgin:
under the United Statc
theleas endeavoring to render aid to the
insurgent*—was. in short, engaged in
traffic prohibited by the law of nath at—
then the United States Government can
not make the transaction any ground for
war, or in fact of complaint.*
YVill there be YVnr with Spain?
The New York Sun asks and answers
this question in on editorial, of which
the following is the conclusion:
Moreover, the administration at Wash
ington is not unwilling to be forced into
a war. It is true that we are in no con
dition to make one, that our finances
are depressed; that our people are suf
fering from the stoppage of industry and
business; and that our navy, under its
present corrupt and worthless manage
ment, bos deteriorated until it is nearly
useless; so that we should commence
war under great embarrassments. But
on tho other hand, hostilities would draw
the people’s attention away from the
corruption of their rulers and fasten it
upon the movements of fioets and armies
and the news of expeditions and battles.
Then we should have no more
investigating committees, and for
a timo at least no more fatal revelations.
Then tho public belief that under Gen.
Grant tho honor of the nation has been
sold for Spanish gold would bo removed
by the share edge of tbo sword; and a
successful war would even elect him fora
third term. There will bo money to be
made oat of contracts, and shoddy can
recover tho fortunes it has lost in tho
panic; and thus tho baso interests of
plunder and of political rascality will
conspire with tho parost patriotism to
justify a war and to fight it to the bitter
end. * These are our reasons for believ
ing that war is what we are likely to
have.
Tho Sun could not have furnished more
or stronger arguments against a war with
Spain than are here set forth. If there
can result any advantages to the country
that will counterbalance the evils above
enumerated, wo cannot imagine what they
are.

Edeuton, at Sacramento. Cal-j
I have contemplated this attack of
Robert Robinson in utter amusement, un
til ono of the most distinguished citizens
of the State informed me of tho lying
propensities of his earlier days, and that
they so predominated in him that the
boys nicknamed him "Lying Bob.” It
ought to be revived. His talentforlyiug,
like that of Ovid Bolus, is encyclopaedi
cal. and, like German criticisms, has many
sides. He differs from Bolus, however,
in that, according to the humorist, the
latter lied from pure nobleness of soul
and comprehensiveness of mind, whereas
Robinson lies from a natural depravity
and a fecundity of resources which may
well provoke the envy of the devil him
self. His son Edward, sensible of the
outrage committed by the father, subse
quently published a card in on evening
paper here evidently designed to moke
reparation. But ho managed to preserve
the ear-marks of the meanness of tho
breed, and inserted the sting of his la
ther's publication in the toil of his own.
I bear no malice or ill will even toward
Edward. He both puzzles and amuses
me. As an ethnological problem ho baf
fles the science of a Campar or a Darwin.
In my incredulous moods I donbt if the
solution of his existence can be fonnd in
any extant theory of race, and I opine he
descended from nobody and was cast in a
brass foundry. [Long and uproarious
laughter and applause.] But upon ma
ture reflection and from* certain idioxyn-
erodes common to himself and "Lying
Bob,” I am forced to the conclusion that
he is the son of his father, the only dif
ference being that Ed. inherits all the old
man’s meanness without a particle of his

According to the count of the Colum

The Columbus Son says those who

We learn from Dr. Fleetwood, who has

from the effects of a stroke of lightning
received on Sunday night while in bed

John Hamilton, to arouse her brother.
He was shaken violently, b't gave no
signs of life. Becoming alarmed. Miss
Wilcox procured a light anil entered
his room to ascertain the matter. She
was horror-stricken to behold her brother
apparently in the agonies of death. The

ces the death of Mr. William Shear, a
former well-known and valuable citizen
of that city, but does not give either the
date or place of his death.
The Follt of Expansion—Under this
head the Constitutionalist has the fol
lowing:
A valued friend and a shrewd business
man sends us the following illustration
of what he conceives to be the absurdity
of trying to save the commercial commu
nity by expanding tho national currency :
The idea of making the currency more
efficient by increasing it* volume is quite
a* absurd a* it would be for a cloth dealer
to think of facilitating his operations by
multiplying hi* yard sticks. Two or four
yard stick* in one man’* hands would
measure no more cloth than one. Nor
would the process be expedited, though
the Government shoald enact that each
yard measured by four stick* should be
called four yards and should pass current
for four. In the lost cose the merchant
would indeed have a greater number of
S ds, nominally, but no more cloth than
ore. He would in no way be benefited,
unless he had old debts to pay in yard*,
which he could discharge is the new meas
ure, one being equal to fo. r. In this way
he would save three-quarter* of his cloth
and become rich at the cost of his credi
tor*.

entire content* were destroyed, and the
fomily narrowly escaped, with their lives.
The loss sustained was very heavy, and
no insurance.
The Gazette also records the burning
of Dickens' steam mill and cotton gin in
that place on Friday evening, together
with ono hundred bushels of com and
three bales of cotton. No insurance. A
box of matches in the cotton did the mis
chief.
We clip tho following from the Atlanta
Constitution, of yesterday :
Horrible Accident.—Abont 2 o’clock
yesterday afternoon as Mr. Owen Lynch,
general book-keeper of the Western and
Atlantic railroad, was returning to his
offico, he was run over by an engine and
so horribly mangled that he died within
forty-five minutes afterwards. Mr. Lynch
was walking down the track of the Ma
con and Western railroad, and when near
where two tracks diverge, attempted to
cross from one track to the other; his at
tention being diverted by a switch engine
going down the track of the State road,
he paid no attention to tho engine of the
Macon and Western railroad, coming rap
idly from his rear. The engine knocked
him down, and threo wheels ran oxer
him, crushing his right leg at the knee,
TTninglinoT the flesh and crushing his left
leg above the knee. The engineer stopp
ed as soon as possible. The accident oc
curred about Brood street bridge. A
litter was obtained and Mr. Lynch, at
tended by a large ooncourse of friends,
carried to hi* residence, comer of Hunter
and Butler streets. He lived only a few
minutes after reaching home. Hr.
Lynch was between 57 and 5<fyears of
ago; and had been book-keeper of the
State road for fourteen or fifteen years.
He was universally esteemed.
Important Decisiox to Ixsueaxce
Men.—Judge Hopkins made a ruling
yesterday in an insurance case, which we
give briefly, on account of its importance,
both to insurance men and policy holders.
The case was that of Messrs. Simonton,
Jones & Hatcher, vs. tho London, Liver
pool and Globe Insurance Company. This
action was brought by the plaintiffs to
recover a policy of about three thousand
dollars on a stock of goods destroyed by
fire. After paying the premium and
fatYing out the insurance the plaintiffs
removed their goods into another store.
They claim that before the removal, they
verbally notified the agent of the com
pany of their intention to remove, and re
ceived his verbal assent thereto. This
consent, however, was not entered in
writing on the policy as required by one
of the laws of the company. Upon a
demurrer filed by the defendants Judge
Hopkins dismissed the declaration, hold
ing that the act of removal cancelled the
old and required an entirely new contract
of insurance. The case will, we are in
formed, be carried to the Supreme Court
and aa effort m.i !e to r. v. r- • tL:-ruling.
hut just to the company to state
that the allegation of the plaintiffs of
having verbally notified the company’s
agent of their intention to remove and
received his verbal consent, is disputed
by them. Otherwise they might not have
contested the case.
We are glad to see that none of our
State exchanges, particularly of the week
ly persuasion, are "foaming” over the
shooting of the Virginias filibusters. The
question of meat and bread seems to be
engaging the attention of the people, to
the exclusion of all others. They have
neither the time nor the heart to bother
Editorial Correspondence.
Savannah, November 22,1873.
CONCLUSION OF THE FAIR.
Last night we telegraphed the result of
the race*, which show about the slowest
time on record, and the award of a prize
to the Johnston Light Infantry in the
drill contest. We are glad to chroniclo
that despite the dull times, severe weather
and pocuity of the exhibition, under the
skillful management of Mr. Estill, who
seems to have had the laboring oar, the
affair will prove a financial success. This
is certainly more than can be said of the
first fair of tho Association, though inau
gurated under far more favorable aus
pices. The exhibition closes to-day.
SAVANNAH MANUFACTURES.
The paper mill recently erected here
for the manufacture of rice straw into
paper is just commencing operations.
They will have abundant raw material at
their doors, and with the low wages for
labor now ruling, must do a good busi
ness.
The Arkwright Cotton Factory is in
full blast, and turns out an admirable ar
ticle of yarns and thread of every grade.
The city would be the better off for many
more such institutions to afford profita
ble employment to its redundant popu
lation.
EXTENSION OF THE ATLANTIC AND GULF
RAILROAD.
Col. Screven, who returned from Europe
a few days since, by no means despairs of
procuring the loan of $5,000,000 for the
completion of hi* road to Pollard. He is
also confident of his ability to demon
strate to the satisfaction of the citizens
of SnTannnh the paramount value and
importance of tho proposed extension.
Indeed, not a few influential persons say,
so far as the interests and prosperity of
their city is concerned, since the opening
of the new outlet to Port Royal, tho de
velopment of the Gulf road is of more
consequence than any other single line
of communication with the interior. Al
ready large quantities of cotton Jre re
ceived by the Port Royal road, and tho
idea is gaining ground that the enter
prise so far from injuring Savannah will
prove to he decidedly beneficial.
An old merchant remarked that capital
would never concentrate at Port Royal,
when a few miles of railroad from Screv
en’s Ferry to that point would divert tho
business to Savannah. This is certainly
estimating very lightly the advantages of
deep water, and an excellent site for the
foundation of a now city. Bat we give
these on dits tor what they are worth,
without any endorsement of our own.
The Legislature would not entertain
for an instant, at this juncture, the propo
sition to donate funds for the building or
extension of any railroad. On tho con
trary, it would gladly, if practicable,
cravfis!i out of all its "State Aid” obliga
tions. For some years, at least from
present appearances, the old roads need
fear no rivalry from the multitude of new
projects which were all so actively press
ed a short timo since. Nor do wo know
of any portion of the State which is suf
fering materially for lack of transporta
tion famlitics. It is pleasant to have a
railroad running by your door, but can
every one enjoy that privilege? is tho
question.
COTTON RECEIPTS AND TRADE.
Tho staple continues to pour into the
city at the rate of over 3,000 bales per
diem, and for some time so small has
been the margin for profit on New
York quotations that tho sales and for
eign shipments have been very heavy
hero. Of course this has tended to make
money easier, but trade continues exceed
ingly dull. Some dry goods merchants,
however, are advertising goods bought
since tho reduction in New York at 20
per cent, below their neighbors, and a
general break down in prices must follow.
This, many think, will give an impetus
to business and bring into circulation
again tho hoarded money of the country.
IVe shall see. Bnt in the meantime our
merchants must lose thousands by this
depreciation in the value of their stocks.
Thus are we made to feel the failures
and financial troubles of our Northern
friends. New York is tho great financial
heart of the nation, and every pulsation
is felt to tho remotest confines of tho
country.
THE WAR LEVER
is warmer here, probably, than in other
portions of the State, but we don’t think
it has reached the
VOLUNTEERING
point yet, or ever will. No one wants to
embark in a crusade to release more ne
groes, and create additional Black States
to be ruled by thieving carpet-baggers.
A HERALD CORRESPONDENT,
however, en route for Key West, was
like a raging panther, breathing fire and
vengeance against the Dons. He in
tended to go to Cedar Keys by rail, and
hiring a fishing smack, proceed thenceto
hisdestination. Hereportedotheragents
of this wide-awake newspaper distributed
through the squadron ordered to Caban
waters, in the capacity of captains, clerks,
etc. In the opinion of this astute Bohe
mian, war was a foregone coulusion, and
the gem of the Antilles as good as oura
already. Perhaps he is right.

condition than the peoplo of the United
States were at the time of the declaration
of their independence—the Spanish Gov
ernment allowing, under tho barbarous
rule of so-called Spanish Volunteers, the
perpetration of the most terrible cruelties
and outrageous deeds of violence toward
the inhabitants of the island of Cuba, in
defiance of humanity and civilization;
and whereas, these barbarans, who it ap
pears are independent of the Spanish Gov
ernment tramples alike upon the laws and
usages of humanity and civilization—in
sult our flag on tho open sea, and incar
cerate and rnnrder our citizens: ,
Therefore, be it resolved, That wo ask
the government of the United States and
Congress, in the name of humanity and
civilization, and to the end that a stop
may be put to tho barbarities in Cuba,
and to prevent their repetition, to accord
to the Cubans, now fighting for their in
dependence, the rights of belligerents,
and as soon as passible to acknowVnlgo
Cuba as a free Republic,
Resolved, That we farther ask the
Government and Congress of tho Uxitod
States to demand of the Spanish Govern
ment in Madrid, as well as of tho acting
authorities of Cuba, fall satisfaction for
tho insult to our flag and the cruelties
committed by the Cuban volunteers, and
to enforce these demands with all the
means in their power.

A Bishop Between Two Fires.
Louisville, November 20.—A member
of the standing committee of the Diocese
of Kentucky hks received a letter from a
prominent clergyman of the East rela
tive to Bishop Cummins' withdrawal
from his work in Kentucky, and from the
Episcopal Church, which is of the high
est authority. The letter says: The
Bishop acted by himself and against the
protest of Evangelical men. Even the
mort radical oppose hie course and will
give hi3 movement no support. I at
tended a meeting of the leading Evangel
ical clergy in Philadelphia to-day, and
found them a unit against the Bishop.
So I suppose we ore to have no new move
ment of any importance. It ia thought
that the Bishop stands alone, for which
we have reason to be thankful. A con
vention is talked of here* to elect an as
sistant bishop in Cummins* place.

spontaneously asked to become Catholics,
divine Providence having seen fit to crown
the efforts of oar worthy priests, through
their means contributing this brilliant
triumph to our holy religion- The pris

the morning and shot at four in the af
ternoon. giving our priests only eight
hours’ time to convert the twenty.**

The startling drawback on nearly all medicinal
agents lias ever been that in their process of
purgation and purification they have also debili
tated the system. To obviate this difficulty phy
sicians have long sought for an agent that would
Purge, Purify and Strengthen
At One and the Same Time*
Their research has at last been rewarded by a
discovery which fully realizes the fondest desires
of the medical faculty, and which is iustlv regard
ed as the most important triumph that nh. n lacy
has ever achieved. This important desideratum is
Dr.Tutt’H Vegetable Liver Pills,
Which purify tie blood and remove all coirupt
humors and unhealthy accummulntiona from tho
body, and jet produce no weakness or lassitude
whatever, but on the conarary tone the stomach,
and invigorate the body during tbe profreas of
their operation. They unite tho heretofore irre
concilable aualitics of a Strcugtliening, Purgative
and a Purifying Tonic.
Dr. TuttN Pills arc tlie most active and
searching medicine in existence. They at onew
attack the very root of diseases, and their action
is so prompt that in an hour ortwo after too are
taken the patient is aware of their good effects.
Thev may be taken at any time without restraint
of diet or occupation ; they produce neither ~
