Thk distre** of the Chinese with re gard to tho audience given by the Em- jHixor to the foreign representatives is ludicrously apparent from the accounts -which continue to appear concerning the .interviorv. At Kivel-yang-fooit was told that the euibaasadors were so paralyzed at tho nug«*tne*s of hi, Imperial Majes- tv that not one of them could speak a *r ird, and that inoit of them had to be led out in a fainting condition.

A nkw journal of a new kind, which hoe aieen from time to time announced for a luig time past, is to appear before the o»kA of the pro* nt year.

To*lay being a Federal holiday, sol emnly set apart by Hi* Excellency, U. S. Grant. President of the United States, aa a day of thanksgiving and rest from secular labor—we will all rest, and issue no paper to-morrow morning. Some old rebels flare up when those proclamations come out, and say they will pay no re spect to them. We. on the contrary, like to show our submission to authority in every thing which chimro in with our inclination*. Hence, we shall obey the injunction of the President to suspend secular labor and rest. It is a fine example, in the same line, which the President seta us. He rests—rest, often—rests a long time, and get* double pay for it. If Congress would only pot ns on the donble pay list, we would be able to copy the President more closely in this particular. Like duti ful citizens we would draw the money, lock up the office and rest by the month. “IWt for our bene* we Ion* to find,*’ bat there’s no rest to the unhappy men who grind in tho dally newspaper mill, except on Sundays and these legal holi day*. It is true, our case just now is not quite so hard as the jolly Bobeson's, who has not bad hi* pantaloons off for the last three weeks; hut Bolieson is only crowing over a little episod* of business, while we are compelled to turn the old mill regu larly and all the time. When Robeson has done scouring up his iron pot*, and sent them off to Cuba or to the bottom (it is an even chance where they will bring up), he will take off his pantaloon* and rest on his laurels; but there will be no rest for the Tkliczai>h. Man should not pity himself, but even Uncle Toby “pitied the poor printers." Hence wo will rest to-day and blow, and leare our readers to hunt for the paper to-morrow morning ami never find it. AU city subscriber* should send down a sable son or daughter of Africa by eight o’clock to-morrow morning with the in formation, “Mr. Doolittle aay he got no paper di* mornin.” The cause of truth is greatly promoted by these messages. Some ssy it is hard for these people to tell tho truth, but if yon are at the Tkl- koeafh office early to-morrow you will hear more truth Spoken in thia single sentence than would shingle a meeting honse. And truth, as Mr. Sampson Dnus remarked—“Truth, gcntlemen.aye, she U a high and holy thing.” Tho aauao of public morality is under infinite obUgation* to u* for the amount of truth which will come from careless lip* to morrow morning, announcing “Our paper iUd not come to-J.oy." Jest to l The Spanish Muss. The day dispatches in this edition re port Secretary Robeson in a worse hurry than ever with his naval war preparations. If the Secretary’* movements continue to accelerate so rapidly, hi- best friends fear that so far from not finding time to take off his pantaloons, ho wiU have to strip to the work, however cold the weather may be. According to the Now York Herald tho Secretary has sent to all the navy yards urging them to the most desperate state of activity in getting ready every thing which can float. He ha, also telegraphed to all tho naval squadron* on foreign sta tions, telling them to put steam on every tiling, and hurry it forward to Key Wert. This is startling; but we turn with ■one oomfort to Jennings, of tho New York Daily Times, who donble leads an announcement that everything is pretty nearly serene, and getting more so every minute. We know thnt Jennings is the New York organ-grinder, and should he well informed. It is true that Bobeson is a member of tho Cabinet and onght also to be well informed—but Boboson it evidently flurried, wbilo Jennings is cool Jennings is tho boy for our money, and we will stick by him to the tart. The dispatches also state that General Phil Sheridan has been ordered to Wash ington and will take command-in-ohief of tbo land forces to operate against the Cuhans. That looks unpromising. It look* an if the administration doubted tho maintenance of peace. And then, too, there is tho London Daily News, rumor ing that tho American ultimatum is equiv alent to a declaration of war with Spain. On the whole, wo shall stick by Jones. Going Hack on tlio Man and IJrotlier. The New York Commercial Advertiser of Friday, says "Israel Brown, a Georgia negro, who is to be hung next month, has sold hi* body to a doctor for $10, and is investing tho money in hair oil, cuff* and fine shirt*.'' Now thi* i* very hard on poor Sambo, and indeed, is equivalent to wounding him in the house of his friends. The Ad vertiser is a Bcpublican Grant sheet of tbo "straighteit sect,” and if such a cate of reckless and insensate folly can be found among tho blacks of Georgia, which is extremely apochryphal, the Bads and carpet-bag agencies are responsible for it. They have arrayed the negroes xgainrt tho whites, and played the old Harry generally among them. Every one knows that the children of Ham aro creature* of to-day only, and havo no thought for the future. Like the sailor after a cruise, they spend inconti nently, and for tho gaudiest trifles, tbo hard earning of long months. But with tho halter In prospect or any imminent danger, mortal terror takes tho place of every other emotion. So we don't believe this cock and bull story of “a Georgia negro,” «ml think his northern brethren ought to he moro charitably disposed than to circulate each monstrous canard* against their dusky allies. Hon. Jos. H. Hlouut. Our friend and representative in the Forty-third Congress, Hon. Jas. II. Blonnt, left for Washington City Tues day night. We gaTe him our benedic tion, and loaded him with good wishes. We hope ho will hare a good time, so cially, morally am. politically. We know I ho will do his whole duty a* a represen tative of the people of Georgia, and that his vote and influence will always be found on the side of truth and right. If we are not very much mistaken in the man, he will make one of the most active, useful members from the South. He is patient, per severing and industrious—of irre proachable habits, fine judgment, and great firmness and decision of character. We are snro his Congressional career will add greatly to the high esteem in which he is held by hi* constituent), and reflect much credit u; n him both-a* man and legislator. Or Cora»K.—Tho who have been plying their vocation at •Columbia, South Carolina, for five years represented as heartily favoring ■the annexation of Cuba, but equally averse to any personal participation in •hostilities.

Paorzssoa Chandler, of New York, in urpot-W thieve* I a V*P* ^ tho Health Association, said that during: the war there was n rumor that Southern emiasn- { ties intended to poison the drinking water of the city. He made a little cal culation of tho matter, and found that to poison the water supply of the city for a | single day would require one hundred ■ and fourteen tons of araenio or three and i a half ton* of strychnin*, of which there wo.- probably not a ton in the whole world. Boss Tweed Secures Ills Spoil. : The New York Herald gives a list of real estate rained at $1,335,000, besides a large amount of other property, which j has been conveyed from time to time by W. M. Tweed, tho convict, to members of his family and other parties within the port two years. With fiendish sagacity, as soon as be discovered that his knavish transactions were awakening suspicion, the work of hiding away his ill-gotten gains was commenced. To completely perfect the arrangement, in some instances these transfers have changed hands many times, with every formality of law, so that the condemned felon is still un doubtedly a millionaire. The longest time for which he can be sentenced to the State’s prison is fifty-one years, but the general opinion seems to have settled upon fifteen years as the period of his imprisonment. In the meantime active and ingenious counsel will make a strong fight for a st»y of proc eeding), and con test every inch of ground for their weal thy client. With such vast means at command also, it is safe to affirm that locks and prison bars win bo powerless to confine this august villain if he re solves to be free. A moiety of his wealth would raise and equip a secret force of desperadoes, who could storm and cap ture any fortreM in America. The po tent influence of gold, too, can still he brought to bear upon keepers, sentinels, and even high officials, if tho experience of several years past affords any criterion in the premises. On the whole, then, it is easy to per ceive that, birring the bubble reputa tion. Boss Tweed’s case is by no means desperate, and hia example will be treas ured up in the rogue’s calendar as a splendid success.and eminently worthy cf imitation. But the saddest consideration is, that this arch conspirator and thief has many followers in an humble way in the coun try. Thousands actuated by similar mo tives seek to sequester and cover up their property from the sight and reach of honest creditors. This is all wrong, and a most fatal policy. It tends to luirden the pnblic heart against the tenderest appeals of tho needy, and will destroy confidence between man and man, and mako utter shipwreck of all credit. Moreover it will he a blight and indelible stain upon tho character and prospects of those, who thus seek to abjure their legitimate obligations. Tho cases are few in lee 1 where an h*nest man. willing and nnxiou- to pay hia just debt*, cannot obtain time and ac commodation from his creditors. Noth ing but malice or insanity could induce them to pursue any other course. It would lie cutting open tho goose to get the golden egg. Lot us hope then thnt our people will gird np their loins and address themselves with renewed energy to tho liquidation of their honest debts. The bankrupt law is good in its place but should never be abased, and honesty is the best policy nndcr all conditions and circumstances. Since tho above was written, it has transpired that Tweed was sentenced to thirteen years confinement in the New York Penitentiary, and to pay a fine of $12,500. Tho motion for a stay of pro ceedings has also been denied, and the Judge administered a withering rebuke to tho prisoner when passing sentence upon him. - If the gnilty offender could be indeed pat to constant hard Labor on a regimen of bread and water, and made to serve hi* entire term in the State’s prison, it might do some good. But we doubt, capitally, whether such will be his lot On the contrary, he will probably be per mitted to enjoy every luxury that money can command, and find obsequious ser vant* in bis janitors. Such is the influ ence of gold, even admitting that he does not yet escape the shackles of the Law. THE GEORGIA PRESS. Hon Tax-payers arc Plundered, That Itadira! FaToritcs May Lire LVitli- ont Work. It looks as though it will soon be cheaper to abandon duties on imported goods than to incur the expense of collect ing them. In thirty port* along the New England coast, the receipts in 1872-73 were $025,000, and tho expenses $232,000 or moro than one-third. In sixteen of these port 9 , or more than one-half tho number, thi cost of collection actually ex ceeded ike receipts. In some cases, as at Stonington, Conn., tho excess of expenses was small, about $200 more than the re ceipts. In others it was enormous. At Ellsworth, Me., it cost tho government $16S to collect every dollar received. In Kennebunk, Me., just $0 29 were collect ed during the year, and the expenses for collecting were $1279. The ports of Gloucester and EJgarton furnish the worst cases of political custom-houses on record. In the former it took $18,910 lost year to collect $3G62, and in the lat ter $0050 to collect $675.

The Chicago Tribune has an eight-cyl inder Hoe press and a Bullock press, the two throwing off 30,000 impressions an hour, yet so great is the circulation of the Tribune that the publishers are con templating adding two more presses. To print both sides of their edition, includ ing their snpplement, requires 140,000 impressions. Tho Tribune has expended on its new building—erected since the great fire - and upon machinery, $300,000.

Tns Savannah “colored troops,” un der the lead of that eminent Christian and renowned warrior, H. M. Turner, had a meeting on Monday night and resolved that “ the American eagle must not be driven to its nest, and our citizens longer gored by the Spanish bull.” They also howled for tvnjsoaeevengeance—with a big Y—and “stood ready to raise 5000 volunteers for Cuba.” None of the speak ers, however, have set the example of volunteering up to date. When thia news reaches Madrid,.Cartelar will fall cn his knees and beg for mercy. The Savannah Advertiser is very right fully of the opinion that the "alacrity with which the people have taken tho cue of cunning men for a war cry is nei ther a natural nor a healthy political sign. A people just out of such a war as .ours, with all of its horrible consequences, should have been taught a lesson about war strong enough and deep enough to have 1 tiled a generation, at least. There are graver questions than thi* one of Cuba pressing upon the attention of the American people. The country is bank rupt and the people are Buffering. Be- cent events indicate but too plainly that the party which had brought about this ruin is to be brought to the bar of public opinion, condemned and cast out. Fer- haps these Cuban bombs are being fired to demoralize the serried and advancing rank* of the Democracy. Let ns straight en out our own country, and govern it proaerly b-fore undertaking tho guardi anship of a strange and not over-tracta ble people. It is not altogether unnatu ral to desire the possessions of others, particularly if they rre fair. The South may desire Cuba—quick, even upon a boom—but she does not want Cuba or anything else ut tho erpenso of war.” On the same subject the Constitutional ist makes these pointed remarks : Mr. Stephens may he right and wo may be wrong: bnt we are clear on one point, and that is the entire neutrality ef the South. What has the South to do with fighting Spaniards ? What has the South to do with freeing negroes, many of whom are recently from the African coast? What has the South to do with making a fresh hero of Grant and helping save the Badieal party ? What ha* the South to do with fighting for a flag which has dishonored her. and for a government which has sought her destruction in war and during an angry peace ? Will the Northern States make friends with us and return U3 to liberty and prosperity, after thousands of our men are slain in such a problematical cause? Ponder that. When the chestnuts ore drawn opt of the fire, who gets them? War against France was to have united Ger many. Has it done so ? Yes, to some degree, by Prussianizing the weaker States and shocking the spiritual inde pendence of the South Germans. If we are fooled with tho idea of making a good thing by playing bob to tho Yankee kite, let us reflect that the chances of being laughed at for our folly are very excel lent indeed. We still think that the United States will avoid war, if possible. Whether war comes or not, the South should keep her neutrality ami ut ile her power felt by masterly inactivity. Me. Thomas M. Broom, of Augusta, while out hunting last Saturday, hod a stroke of apoplexy just after firing at a squirrel, and fell to the ground insensi ble. He died the next day. The Atlanta Constitution says the Bos well Factory is running on full time and full wages to keep up with its orders. The auction sale of a portion of tho real estate owned by Mr. James, the At lanta banker, took place on Tuesday. Three buildings and some vacant lots were disposed of. The Constitution says some of the property “sold at cost, and some sold low.” The five-story building on tho corner of Whitehall and Hunter streets was sold to Win. Markham for $16,103. It cast $32,000. The store on Whitehall street next to Mr. James’ hank, was bought by Dr. Angier for $10,000. The sale aggregated $55,000. Mr. J. es timated it would reach $60,000.

He wa3 a good man and a good citizen, and in his death Columbus loses much. Sad Death.—That of Dr. B. A. Ken nedy, which occurred Sunday at Seale, Alabama, is a sad one. He was a young man, full of hopo and promise, no mar ried, went to the State fair at Macon on a bridal trip, caught the small-pox, and a few weeks after his wedding he is a corpse. Th* Milledgeville Union and Recorder reports the death last week of Messrs. S. B. Brown and Elias Barnett—two old citizens of that place. On the night after Mr. Barnett's death, his store was entered and robbed of at least a wagon load of goods. Tho Union and Becorder has this addi tional item: Fire—Gin Hons* Burned.—The new- steam cotton gin and grist mill of Mr. Wm. Harper, at Midway, waa destroyed by fire on last Friday afternoon. After considerable trouble and expense, Mr. Harper had just got his gin in good work ing order when thu calamity befel him. Some twenty bales of cotton, belonging mostly to neighbors, brought there to be ginned, were destroyed or injured. It is believed a match in the cotton caused the fire. The gin was at work at the time and Mr. H. made a narrow escape from tho burning building. A negro boy was badly burned. The editor of the Lumpkin Indepen dent haring read somewhere that the South will be* called upon for 10,000 men to take Cuba before the year is ended, proceeds to define his position as follows: Wanted at this office immediately ; a ten years lease of some secluded spot in the Okefinokee swamp, dampness of situ ation is no particular objection, so there are no roads leading to the tract. If any retired local preacher, of any sort of per suasion, has any old certificates of his calling that can. in case of war, be rend ered avalliable by a change of dates, we would like to inspect them with a view to purchasing.

We want alto, a cer tificate from some J. P. that we were shot dead at the battle of Bull Bun. We find these items in the Monroe Ad vertiser, of Tuesday: "Bather Queer.”—We understand that the talented editor of a Temperance paper published not a thousand miles away, and one of tho leading lights in the great Temperance Reform movement in the State, undertook to visit Forsyth last week, but his brain, usually so clear, seems to have been so mystified that he mistook Smarr’s -tutiua for Forsyth. All of which resulted in a five-mile promen ade in the cool, refreshing morning air. “ Watchman, what of the night ?' More Cotton Destroyed bt Fire — On last Sunday evening, a brilliant light was distinctly discernible in a westerly direction from our city. The fine proves to hare been, so we are informed, th* gin- house of Mr. W. B. Morphy. We under stand that twenty-five tales were de stroyed. We conjecture that tho fire l regulate-i from the work of sons fiend ish incendiary, as it occurred on Sabbath evening. The grand jury of the Federal Court at Savannah presented seventeen true bills on Monday, and were discharged. seem to have lost its head amid the war clamor of that section. It presents tho following argument against hitching on Cuba to the tail «f the American eagle. We should like to see some of ihe enthu siastic favorers of the hitching operation attempt to answer it: Cuban annexation is a myth. It is about the worst thing that could happen for the Un ted States at the present time, and probably the worst thing that could happen for Cuba. It is idle to dis cuss the reasons why the Cubans oppose annexation. It is enough for ns to know that the Peninsulars (the Spanish party), the loyal native planters, and the insur gents are united in their opposition to this scheme, though they are at logger- heads about everything else, ft will not be difficult, however, to show why the United . States, can . have no interest in such a project. In the first-phtoe, ths separation of Cuba from Spanish rule will inevitably lead to the abolion of sla very. Slave-labor being mere universal in Cuba, and more closely identified with its prosperity than it ever was in tho Southern States, the revulsion that will follow its abolition is likely to bo moro- deploralile in a commercial sense than we have seen it in the former slave States of this country. No government of fore thought and hone.-ty would care to as sume the responsibility of carrying Cuba through the ordeal awaiting 'it. As an integral part of the United States, its condition, under these circumstance-', would be rendered worse than ever. A carpet-bag government would be set up. by comparison with which that of Louisi ana or Georgia would be of primitive sim plicity. The oonglomerate population of t)>■• taiiu.1- witii flu> dlv.u-aifcy of interests, would make it an easy prey for tho prac ticed political bandits who would seize upon its government, skilled in the arts of official plunder through their experi ence in the Southern States which they have already helped to “reconstruct.” Cuba has a population made up of all tho elements of tho world, with new species which are tho product of amalgamation. Beside* the American, tho English, and the French colonies that have held themselves somewhat aloof, there are Spanish, Portuguese, Creoles (natives), Hindoos, Coolie-.Chinamen,other Asiatics, mulattoes. Quadroons. Mestizos, and ail infinite variety of mongrel races. It is said that over 100 different names are re quired todistinguish tao various divisions and subdivisions of the Cuban population. Here would be splendid material for the experienced carpet-bagger to work upon. Tho wealth of Cuba would rapidly dwindle away without giving America any of the benefit of ‘it, and the next com plication would be a war of races, with which tho American Government would havo to deoL We have enough of this sort of thing on oar hands now. Let ns take care of tho territory we liave already before we attempt to acquire any more, even if the temptation should come, as it d -es not in the case of Cuba. When we can moke thrift of Arizona and Alaska, both of which were acquired by purchase; when we can govern the Indians in the West peacefully and the negroes in the South honestly; when we can populate the Northern Pacific country, and when we grow up to the clothes we are now- wearing, it may be time to think of an nexing a new territory. That time seems now to be a good way off. The Tribune, in another editorial of the same issue, from which the above is extracted, says that a careful examina tion shows that the leaders oE the war- elamorers are divided mainly into two classes—bankrupt politicians and “bust ed” speculators. In the former class will bo found the back-pay grabbers, the Credit-Mobilier corruptionists, tho carpet-bag adventur ers, the lobbyists seeking for spoils, and all who have been engaged in the frauds and corruptions and dishonest transac tions which have been so abundant dur ing the last four- years. What more available method of hiding their own misdeeds is there than to get up a for eign war? Ip the inevitable excitement which must follow, their transactions will be forgotten, and, if they can tide them selves over the next session of Congress, they are safe. Every Congressman who has taken back-pay or forward-pay, every politician who has been engaged in job- bery, subsidy and: speculation is an ar dent war man, and is egging on tho people to deemhd a declaration of war, and 03 ’ the time for Congress draws nearer and nearer, they will clamor louder and louder. The other class is composed of broken-down stock and gold speculators, who see in this war fever an opportunity toretriavo loBies incurred du ring the late panic. They’'also are urging on the people, manipulating public meet ings, and filling the air with wild rumors. tion of zeal regarding the navy, and says the Gulf squadron has been allowed by Sec retary Bobeson to become inefficient and useless, while he and tho President were at Long Branch enjoying themselves. THE WAR FEVER DYING OUT. It is generally conceded to-night that the leading m*u in Congress, whether Re publican, Democrat, or Liberal, will be opposed to making war it Spain shall accede to the just demands of the Govern ment for satisfaction and indemnity. There is consequently a visible toning down of excitement. a-HS WASHINGTON NAVT-TARD. Warlike preparations are. however, going on very actively atthe Washington navy-yard. Material of war is rapidly prepared and shipped. Seamen and ma rines are recruited, and the latter force is already largely increased at the yard. SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST CABINKT OF FICERS. Grave report* are current to-night im plicating certain members of the Cabinet in preparing dispatches calculated to flame the public mind and bring on war with Spain, and nt tho same time sup pressing other dispatches which would allay excitement. One of the officials is said' to havo sent a statement of facts to a newspaper man here, with a request to write it up in the most sensational man ner, which was done. The President, Mr. Fish, Attorney-General Williams and Secretary Richardson are not incul pated in these transactions. In addition to this, it is well known thnt certain cor respondent* connected with leading pub lic journals are engaged in the daily fab rication of news, interviews and tho like in order to increase the excitement and get up a reputation for enterprise. THE GULF SQUADRON. It is stated in naval circles that at the time the Virginius was captured not ono of the Gulf squadron was in Cuban waters. TTby the Clergyman’s Daughter Shot Mr. Haynes. • Jackson (Tenn.) Whig ami Tribune, Nov. 22J The Corinth (Miss.) News, November 15, says: “The daughter of Bev. Mr. Richardson, living a few miles from this place, having some misunderstanding pre viously with a gentleman, went to his home, found him at work, spoke to and shook hands with, and then drew from under her shawl a pistol, placed it to his breast and fired. The man at last ac counts was living, bnt in a hopeless con dition.” The above article is true, and the gen tleman wounded was Mr. Mark Haynes, of MeNairy county. It is said that he was engaged to be married to the young lady. Miss Mattie Kiehardson, and was about to “go back” upon his plighted word and honor, and had so notified his fair affianced. When she received intel ligence of his contemplated apostacy, she grew so indignant that she rode over to Haynes’ residence in a buggy, in company with a young brother, and, call ing Haynes towards her, she drew forth a pistol from under her shawl and shot him, as above described. Miss Richard son and her brother were both arrested after the shooting, and had a preliminary trial before James Houston, Esq., who bound them over to tho next term of the Circuit Court of MeNairy county. Tho bond of Miss Richardson was fixed at $1,000, and was promptly given. Haynes was w ounded in the right lung, and his condition at last accounts was extremely critical. He is a new-comer to this sec tion, and hails from Georgia. war with Spain, they see an opportunity of running gold np, and advancing the prices of stocks. Without such a war, there is very little prospect that their balloons can be in flated again and set flying. It matters little to them how many men are killed, how many widow.* are made, or haw much suffering is caused; provided the stock list goes up and profits come in. Cuba Talk in 'Washington. Correspondence of the Cuurier-Juurn.il.] Washinoton, November 23.—Very little has been said of the coarse pursued by tho British Government in respect to the sixteen Englishmen who ware put to death by the Spanish officials in Cuba, and the seven Englishmen yet held as captives; but it is certain that the Brit ish Ministers are acting with their cus tomary energy and decision in such mat ters. The cases of the two governments against Spain being somewhat different, they will not act jointly in their reclama tion against the Madrid Government, but there is reason for the belief that there has been a free interchange of opinion, and that each is advised of what the other is doing. Tho policy of Eng land is to avoid foreign complication, and not press extreme demands against Spain which will necessarily involve a war. It is believed that England‘will demand positively the surrender of the English captives and a money compensa tion for the families of tho Englishmen whoso lives have been taken by Burriel, and that she will also tender moral sup port to the demands which tho American Government may make. England, like the United States, will contend that, Spain having constantly denied the ex istence of a state of war, the capture of the Virginias on the high seas was tech nically a violation of public law; and that in any view of the matter tho sum mary condemnation of the vessel and ex ecution of the captives was indefensible. THE SPANISH AND CUBAN FORCES. According to the reports of the English agents in Cuba, ont of one hundred and five thousand Spanish soldiers sent to Cuba, only thirty thousand are now living, the rest having fallen in battle and by disease. Tho Cuban insurgents, accord ing to the same authority, are stronger than at any farmer period, and have now fourteen 'thousand well-formed regular troops. THE SENATE NOT IK FAVOR OF WAR. According to present appearances, the Administration may count on the support of the Santc in its Cuban policy. Messrs. Morton, Sherman, BoutweU, Stockton, all seem to think that the difficulty may be settled without war. Messrs. Hamilton, of Maryland, end Bayard, of Delaware, are also counted a3 for a conservative pol icy by their friends, and it is almost cer tain that the Republican Senators will as a unit sustain the Administration. Leading Democrats aro reserved and cautious in their utterances, and say they will wait to see what the Admin istration does before they - acquit or condemn. One of these, who has been especially prominent in national politics, said last night that the excite ment about Cub* was partly fictitious, and-was prompted by tho naval officers in order to avert a cutting down of the navy. He thought the Administration were seeking to divert attention’ from their responsibility for the depressed con dition of* trade, and industry. Another public man, identified with the Adminis tration. said he wanted to know if the Democratic party meant to commit sui cide by forcing the Government into a war with Spain. He said that the first step would be the passage by Congress of a loan bill equal to tu..t of ISC-', a large increase of the army anl navy, heavy taxation, duties on tea and coffee, the re- imposition of the incouie tax, and that, if they wanted a C.esar, this iras the way to get it. $30,000 Gone Glimmering. Parsons, Ks., November 24.—Walt. Grayson, a Creek Indian, farmer and stock dealer, living near here,was robbed Friday night of over $30,000, mostly gold and silver, by a party of three white men. One of the men had been at Grayson’s house and about his premises for two or three days under the pretense of buying horses. His confederates arrived Friday evening, well mounted and heavily armed, and Grayson was immediately seized and his money demanded. He re fused to deliver, whereupon he was hung to a tree until nearly insensible. Ho still refused, and the hanging was repeated six or seven times, and not till the rob bers threatened to hang his wife did he reveal the place of it3 concealment. There were several half-breed Indians and negroes about tho house, but most of them were confined to the upper rooms, and all were intimidated to such a degree that they offered no resistance. The robbers were traced to a point a few miles south of the Canadian river, where they separated, ono going south and the others going north. A nominal reward of $1,500 is offered for tho apprehension of tho robbers, which would doubtless be greatly increased if the men were cap tured and the money recovered. Gray son is an old man, nearly sixty-five, and now lying very sick from the effects of his maltreatment. Tho Story of a Nice Young Man. Columbus, O., November 24.— The sonsation of the day is the arrest of Wil liam Begg, a well-known young lawyer, charged with forgery. Begg is secretary of the Young Men’s Christian Associa tion, and has been regarded as on up right and sincere member of the Second Presbyterian Church. He on several oc casions, as attorney-at-law, has collected notes and bills and appropriated the money to his own use. On Saturday ho forged his mother’s name to a chock on the Citizens’ Savings Bank for $160 and drew tho money. He was arrested, but no money was fonnd in his possession, and the bank officers, out of consideration for his mother, who 13 a widow in moderate circumstances, will not prosecute the case. Begg waa again arrested for ap propriating $100 collected by him for a client. It now appears that he has pur chased goods at various stores, giving checks for larger amounts than tho goods camo to on banks where he had no money and receiving the balance in money. Begg is now in jail. News in the New York Son, of the 22d: The upper waters of tho Hudson are to be stocked with Salmon.

November 26.—A dispatch to the Herald says on Tuesday evening Secretary Robeson received information which quickened, if possible, tho activity in his department in preparing for the crisis.

KEGULATE THE LIVER MIGHT DISPATCHES. Tho November Statistical Report of ■ tho Department of Agricalturc, Washington, November 26—Tho No vember statistical report of the Depart ment of Agriculture, now in press, makes a showing for tho oorn product quite as unfavorable as that whioh forecasted the short crop of 1869. The preliminary re port of the aggregate quantity in that year, indicated a total of 874,000,000 bushels loss than the estimate for the large crop of. 1870; and the present re turns point to a product of about 858,- 000,000. The' estimate of last year’s crop of Illinois was 217,000,000. The estimate of the present is 132,000,000. Only six States show a crop equal to last year’s, viz: Virginia, Georgia, Florida, West ■Virginia, Oregon and Rhode Island. The percentage of deficiency in the principal corn growing States, in com parison with tho total product of last year, is as follows: Kentucky, 4 per cent; Ohio, 11; Indiana, 22; Illinois, 39; Iowa, 23; Missouri, 32; Kansas, 31. The defi ciency for New York is 8 per cent., and 16 for Pennsylvania. In moat of the Southern States the crop is smaller than that of last year. A direct comparison is mode between the total product of grain in each county in 1872 and 1873, having for it3 elements both tho comparative yield and the ex tent of area. The Cotton Reports Of November, nnlike thore of the com parative condition earlier in the season, make each estimates tho expected crop in each county, stated in tho form of a percentage of last year’* crop. Tho ag gregate of these estimates varies little i from 3,700,000 bales. The season for * picking has been unusually fine thus far; yet the result may bo mod ified by an exceptional favorable sea son in tho latter part of November, and in December, or by storm* affecting injuriously tho saving of the top crop. The State percentages, in comparison with lost year, are calculated aa follows: North Carolina, 92; Georgia, 97; Flor ida, 97; Alabama, 91; Mississippi, 85, Louisiana, 80, Texas, 112; Arkansas, 102; Tennessoe, 102. These figures would be much lower hut for the increaso of area planted. Tho estimated total area is, in round numbers, 9,500,000. A tabulated statement of the results of these returns, including the area and yield per acre, will be found in the report now in pre33. Capital Notes.
