“More Pacific.”
The TYaviington dispatches of yc-ter-

Sunday hint at arbitration a* the method
by which the controversy will be settled.
Tie Emperor of Germany 1* named a*
the probable arbitrator, and the Emperor,
no doubt, a* bis mane er is, will take the
advice of the learned Berlin doctor* of
international law and give judgment
accordingly.
Iti* a curious fact that the Washing
ton correspondent of the New York Sun
foreshadowed this event in a letter as old
a* last Tuesday. Says he:
A proposition will be made by Castelar,
after the usual dilatory correspondence,
to refer the questions In disputo to the
arbitration of *omk disinterested power.
And a* the President has been mad*
believe that this mode of adjustment is
an invention which he and his Cabinet
arc entitled to patent, there is every like
lihood that the offer will be accepted.
And he proceed* to express the opinion
that all the fuss and Summery at the
navy yards is signply in the way of a <11
version of tho public imind from home
troubles, and to give tfie politicians an
other chance at tho national treasury.
The Bun, however, is a very ardent par-
tisan of free Cuba—a filibuster.

tlmt the ialiors he endure* will arouse
the everlasting astonishment and oom-

* If tho Commercial has not been misin
formed in this matter, we should judge
that the “robust Robe ion" stood very
• much ia need of a both by now. When
jpmtlemen of his build wear their trous

Tina* ia nothing more melancholy
than the spectacle of a clergyman wor
ried by bis congregation on account of his
'opinions. The Rev. Mr. Smith, of East
Hampton, Conn., prefers moral suasion
to prohibition, and mid -** one Sunday in
a sermon. What does the reader think
happened f Why. the whole choir, being
Good Templars, forthwith resigned. The
next Sunday there waa no organist, and
no sweet singer* app are l in the gallery.
Still, the Rev. Mr. Smith wav not dis
heartened. He pulled a pitch pipe out of
hie pocket, started tho hyrani himself,
and the congregation joining heartily,
the sanctuary son.-- wore given with tra
it* ual vigor and fervor.
thattho Grangers
Can Do.
To-day. the farm urn and their counsel
lors and friends of tho cotton States meet
in convention at Atlanta, to compare
notes and devise some plan of action for
the relief of the agricultural mooses of
the country.
Cheap transportation, direct commu
nication with producers, without the in
tervention and charges of middlemen,
and the cash system, arc the grand ob
jects sought to bu attained.
Those are nil <>f prime importance, and
will bu opposed only by those whose gains
may lie affected by the proposed changes.
The policy of direct shipments of cot
ton to Europe, through the medium of
their own agents, will probably be con
sidered also. And here, again, even in
the face of the proverb of tho shoemaker
sticking to his lost, no ono can possibly
object to the planter doing what he will
with his own. Experience alone must
determine whether this course will prove
remunerative or not.
But tbore is one grand consummation
whidi comes fully within tho scope and
purriew of the Granges, to which we ar
dently hope they will devote their undi
vided attention. It constitutes the key
stone to the arch of Southern thrift and
prosperity. Wo mean tho stern necessity
imposed on the farmer to plant leu cot
ton, and direct every energy to tho rais
ing of provisions and fruits of all lands,
and tho proper diversity of his market
crops.
This affords subject matter for the
most current discussion among our
planting friend*. We suppose the
world oould hardly contain the books
which might bo filled with the lu
gubrious and painful experiences of tho
husbandmen of tbe country, on this mo
mentous theme.
For lock of this system, our lands Lave
deteriorated in vnlno or been alienated
from their owners—skeleton horses and
mules meet the eye on every side—mer
chant liens hang like the sword of Damo
cles over tho entiro planting community—
fondly homesteads are rotting down, and
every year gaunt famine threatens the
land, llut if this grand States General of
tho country, composed essentially of those
who are the producers and consumers too,
of tho material wealth and values of the
naticn, will take tho matter in hand, who
can estimate tho amount of good which
may bo accomplished ? Thoroughly or
ganised and linked together into ono
brotherhood m tho grangers axe, by tho
strongest ties, they can, and doubtless
will oxerciso a powerful influence upon
public sentiment in this particular.
Wo never can cease to be hewers of
wood and drawers of water for tho West
and North until our people become really
independent, by raising their own food,
spinning their own clothing, and develop
ing their own vast mineral resources.
Why buy iron abroad when the ore crop*
out in rich abundance from our bills ?
Why patronise Lowell and other manu
facturing establishments when we have
magnificent water-power at home, and
the raw material is tho product of our
own soil? Why buy bread and meat from
the West when com, rice, wheat, sugar,
and even the fruits of the tropics, can be
reared with so little labor in our fertile
valleys and annny slopes?

of the children should be punished for
her thoughtless, improvident and re. kless
conduct. This is the second or third case
of a similar character, that has occurred
in this section during tho last twelve or
eighteen mouths, and it is about time that
it should be stopped. A mother, or any
body else, who will lock up little chil
dren in a house where there is fire within
their reach, and then go off and leave
them to be thus roasted olive, is little
else than an inhuman brute, not to gay a
murderer of the meanest kind.
On Saturday night last, abont 8 o’clock
when our beautiful little Opera House
was well filled by our citizens, to witness
the performances of Doprez & Benedict's
minstrels, and just after the opening
overture, the cry of/re ! fire ! was made
in all parts of the bouse. In an instant
the entire audience sprang to their feet
and a rush was made for the door. It was
quickly discovered, however, that the cry
of fire originated in the street, and that
it was not the Opera House that was
burning. The leader of the minstrels
then stepped forward anil assured the au
dience that there wns no fire in that build
ing, and requested them to reseat them
selves, which was done; but in another
moment tho alarm was again given by
some half dozen persons in the gallery,
who desired to create alarm and confu
sion, and again all was the wildest excite
ment in the audience. Many of the gen
tlemen then went out to ascertain where
the fire was, and in a short while returned
and reported that the Odd Fellows’ Hill
had been on fire, but that the flames were
now extinguished, and there was no
further cause for alarm. This quieted
the audience and the performances then
went on without further interruption.
This fire originated in a most fiendish
attempt on the part of some incendiary
to burn out Mrs. C. J. Pope’s extensive
millinery establishment, under the Odd
Fellows’ Hall; or, to fire this large fruoe
building, with a view to burning the
handsome row of stores nearly adjoining
it on the south side, and owned by Mr.
IV. N. Reeve*, in the hope of reaping a
harvest of plunder, as it was a very dork
night, rnd favorable for the work of vil
lain*. Mrs. Pope's large and beautiful
stock of fancy goods and millinery was
almost totally destroyed by tho fire, or
the streams of water thrown into tho
building by the fire engines. The whole
inside of the house was in fiamc3 wheu
tho firemen opened upon it, but it took
onr “glorious boys” only a few seconds to
extinguish them. They deserve great
praise for their skill and efficiency on this
occasion, as they saved many thousands
of dollars worth of property.
Mrs. Pope was insured on her stock of
goods for $5,000, but I doubt whether
that amount will cover her loss. The
building was also insured, and the Odd
Fellows will lose nothing by the fire,
Their lodge room was subjected to an in
tense heat for a little while, and a deluge
of water afterwards, injuring their fur
niture, etc.
A slight improvement in trade and
money nutters characterized the last
week in this market, but the pressure is
still sorely felt. I never saw such a time
for making collections of money. It
seems tint everybody is short of funds,
and nearly all call for time when bills are
presented.
It was my pleasure on Wednesday
night last to witness the marriage of Mr.
Edward J. Black, of tho RufauJa News,
and Miss Nettie C. Williamson, one of
Eufaula’s best and loveliest young ladies,
and as I am not now in editorial harness,
you must grant me the space to express
l or the happy couple my best wishes for
their future welfare and happiness.

Dr. J. II. Jones Returned to Georgia
—May be Consulted in Savannah.
This celebrated physician, who spent
the past winter in Macon and attracted
so mnch attention by hi3 wonderful
cures, after on absence of many months
in Europe, during which ho visited the
hospitals of Paris, and continued the
study of his several specialties, has re
turned to Georgia and taken apartments
at the Pulaski House, in Savannah. Dr.
Jones is no charlatan, but on the con
trary has received diploma* from no less
than four eminent colleges of surgery
and medicine. He docs not profess to be
cure all,” and is exceedingly candid
in his advice to patients and the treat
ment of their various diseases. Not un-
frequently he refuses tho money of those
who have sought him from a distance,
when their cases have progressed too far
for successful medical aid or old age pre
sents an insuperable barrier to success.
When the cure can be but partial or tem
porary,he frankly states the fact to those
who need his services. His visit to
Georgia last winter will never be for
gotten by those to whom he afforded
hope, comfort and relief from distress
ing and long-standing maladies.
Besides all these diseases of tho eye
and ear, requiring difficult and delicate
surgical operations, and skillful treat
ment otherwise, he is very successful also
in curing affections of tho throat and
lungs, kidney obstructions, ozena , and
chronic complaints.
Many of those who experienced benefit
-from his services last spring, will be de
lighted to know that tho Doctor is once
more within reach, and doubtless will
hasten to consult him again.
For the present. Dr. Janes may bo vis
ited or, addressed by letter, at the Pulas
ki House, Savannah.
War Gossip.
The Courier-Journal, of Saturday; has
the following in shape of special telegrams
from Washington:
Washington, November 21.—Tne sit
uation to-night Is viewed In official circles
as very serious, and involving more dan
ger of war with Spain than at any former
period. The sensational dispatch to a
New York piq*"r, purporting to come from
Madrid, is said to be greatlyexaggerated.
and there is no question that the sum
mary of the American demand is errone
ously stated; but it is feared that the
Spanish Cabinet will be forced, by public
opinion ab home, into a position of deny
ing a proper reparation to this Govern
ment. At the same time, the Adminis
tration disclaim any desire fora collision.
WHAT A CABINET OKFICKR SAID.
A Cabinet minister said this evening
that •• whatever the people who are clam
oring for war in the streets and the news
papers may think. 1 can tell them that
those who know most about it dread war
the most.” The President, he said, was
adverse to war. and dreaded its conse
quences. He would exhaust all honorable
means to maintain peace, and would re
gard war a* a last resort. There were,
however, things worse than war. It
would not do to let the flag be insulted
or our embassador be spurned. If it
comes to war, Phil Sheridan could laud
with ten thousand troops iu Cuba and hold
the island. War .would result in annexa
tion. whether we desired Cuba or not.
ths naval preparations.
The preparations of the Government,
in view of the Cuban question, are going
on with great rapidity. A consultation
was held to-day at the naval department
between the secretary and the different
chiefs of bureaus, iu order to ascertain
the precise condition of each branch of
the service. The orders are for work
both night and day at tho principal navy
yards; and it is hoped that, by the time
diplomatic remedies sliall be found una
vailing, the navy foree of the country
will be equal to any emergency
the aemv.
No increase of the army can, of course,
take place without legislation by Con
gress, but troops can be ordered and
brought from the interior in three or four
days.
THE SPANISH FORCES.
The amount of foreo Spain is able to
exert has been an object of much interest,
and the secret agents of the Government,
both in Spain and Cuba, are engaged in
investigating the military and naval pre
parations of the Spanish Government.
THE ACTION OF CONGRESS.
Speculations as to the temper of Con
gress upon the Cuban question are freely
made. It is thought that the House of
Representatives may bo disposed to push
the Administration to extremity with
Spain, but that tho Senate will be more
moderate. Such leading senators as
Morton, Sherman, Sehurz and Sumner
are certainly anxious to have the diffi
culty adjusted without war, and have so
declared themselves. Mr. Sherman pro^
nounces tho Virginius cruise a filibuster
ing expedition, which does- not deserve
encouragement, and makes the point that
tho country is in no condition to bear the
expense of a war. Messrs. Conklin;
Frelinghuysen, Edmunds and other Ad
ministration Senators are also expected
to act with the above ivuned, sustaining
the Administration upon the question
if it shall pur ue a pacific course with
Spain.
VIEWS OF A LEADING ADMINISTRATION
SENATOR.
A prominent Republican Senator, whose
intimacy with the President and Cabinet
is of the closest character, stated this
evening that all the members of Congress
he had talked to favored a moderate
policy. He admitted that Castclar would
Pave some difficulty in carrying out his
policy. The late significant change of
tone in certain New York journals, which
has been very excited heretofore, was
commented on, and especially the point
that the Virginius was not legally enti
tled to carry the American flag. He said
that question ought to have been consid
ered in tho first instance. Tlio Senator
also said that question was a subject emi
nently lit for the principle of arbitration,
to which the Government was committed,
and whieh had been so popular in the
settlement of the Alabama claims.
A PROMINENT OPPOSITION SENATOR.
A prominent opposition Senator re
marked to day that ho did not see why
the opposition should seek to have a war,
as it wa3 the only thing to call off the at
tention from the failure of the Govern
ment’s financial policy; and a leading
Democratic member of the House of Rep
resentatives stated that he should say to
the Republicans that they had two-thirds
majority, and must take the responsibil
ity of settling the matter. If they chose
war, the Democracy in Congress would
vote the necessary men and money.
SOUTHERN OPINION CONFLICTING.
Conflicting opinions in tho South on
the Cuban question, some for opposing
any complication, as adding to the heavy
taxation, and others indifferent, and some
favoring a vigorous policy as a means of
uniting tho country. Notwithstanding
the tone of some of tho Virginia papers,
a gentleman just arrived from that State
reports that the majority of tho people

Cuban Statistics.
Statistics in regard to the population
and resources of Cuba are now in order.
The total population of the island is
somewhat less than a million and a half.
Of these upward of seven hundred thou
sand, or pretty nearly half, are of pure
European stock, of whom one-sixth only
is composed of Spaniards from Europe.
The slaves amount in all to three hun
dred and seventy thousand, or less than
a fourth of the whole population. The
remainder consists of free persons of color
and a comparatively small number of
coolies and Chinese. More than half the
labor of the island is that of free white
men.
Misgoverned and oppressed as it has
been, the wonderful wealth of Cuba is il
lustrated by the fact that the average
yearly total of the import and export
trade is estimated at one hundred and
thirty million dollars. In 1869 her im
ports were forty-three and a half million
dollars, and her exports fifty-seven mil
lions. In 1870, despite the war, her sugar
and tobacco crop were valued at $75,000,-
000 gold, and the amount of capital rep
resented in the production of these two
articles of exports was computed at .£200,-
000,000, or $1,000,000,000.
Voorhees on tbe Situation.
Hon. D. W. Voorhees, of Indiana, has
announced his intention to retire bom
politics, saying that on tho new questions
to arise new men will be needed. In a
conversation recently he made the fol
lowing statement: “I have made my last

The Asbantco War.
As a large number of cautious English
men anticipated, the task assigned Sir
Garnet Wolseley of subduing tho Ashan-
tees proves to be no small undertaking,
even for John Bull. Tho latest tidings
from the seat of war are to tho effect
that Sir Garnet’s offer of peace on cer
tain conditions was indignantly spurned
by King Koffee, who announced his in
tention to vanquish the Englishmen or
die in the attempt. Reinforcements to
the number of ten thousand men have
come to the assistance of the Aehantees,
and they appear to be highly elated at
the prospect. They thoroughly under
stand the art of war, and are as brave as
they are bloodthirsty. Meanwhile Sir
Garnet has been having a big talk with
the Fan tee chiefs, whom he endeavored
to persuade to work hard and fight hard.
He told them the war was for them, and
they must do the work. King Koffee is
said to have about 18,000 warriors, in
three separate corps. General AVolseley’s
plan is to get all the road-building and
heavy work out of the natives possible,
in order to save the health of his British
troop* in that enervating climate, and
finally, when everything is ready, to
throw the latter forward and do up the
business with os little exposure to them
as passible. Meantime the Ashantees
have agents at Birmingham having mus
kets at $1 87 apiece, and the Englishmen
will at least have the consolation that if
they get killed it will be with British
bullets shot out of British markets.
Tho Supremo Court.
Washington, November 24.—In tbe
case of the United States against Lapin
and others, tho Supreme Court to-day
decided that when a party advanced
funds to a firm in New Orleans, to he
used by their agent in the interior in th9
purchase of cotton, prior to the capture
of the city in 1S62, all tho parties being
then in New Orleans, and the city was
captured by the Federal forces before the
cotton was purchased with the funds so
advanced, the agent having gone into the
interior prior to the capture, his agency
to purchase the cotton was terminated by
the hostile position of bis principals to
ward tho cotton owners, consequent upon
the capture, and that a purchase of cot
ton afterwards was an effectual aid to the
enemy, it was forbidden by the soundest
principles of public law. Tho purchaser
therefore obtained no title to the cotton,
and had no claim against the Govern
ment for its capture. Mr. Justice Hunt
delivered the opinion. Justices Miller and
Field dissenting.
Richardson issues the following depart
ment instructions of the 27th ult.: In
reference to the limited disbursements
of silver coin in lieu of currency, they
are hereby so modified that hereafter,
in making disbursements, silver coin
