The U*t phase of,the Virginia* ques

to be this: The American OoTernmeat
ha* extended the jraet term to Spain which
expired b; limitation on th& 20th instant,
and both governments are now earnestly
engaged in correspondence in cither by
cabie on the American ultimatum. In
thia correspondence diplomatic interme
diaries are dispensed with, and the com
munication ia direct between the Caste-
Ur administration and Secretary Fish, of
the American State Department.
With what light we hare on the sub
ject, our sympathies are much moved
for the Castelar Government. They are
earnestly bent on peace and good will,
bat they have to do with a red-breeched
generation, both at home and in Cabot.
They are well nigh powerless in both
countries, and can, in fact, guarantee
little or nothing. Concession gives them

The Columbna 2j
Cockling has declined a nomination, and
the matter now lies between Attorney
General Williams and Instioea Miller and
Bwayne. Webope Attorney General Wil
liams will not be nominated. His mind
seems to ns to be symbolised by the edge of
an old plantation hoe blade—that Uto say,
it is neither very broad nor acute I and,
besides, the constitutional provirion of
-no distinction on account of color or
raee” operates against him. Williams
can no more help running with the nig
ger against tba Southern white man, in
every case,than bo can help eating. But
the very fact that his intellect is meagre
and his prejudices inveterate—in short,
that he U totally unfit for the office—will
probably put him in it. Ho will bo an
invaluable Seroggs on the Supreme
Bench.
Wircsn the Rilles Graduate.—The
Picayune impudently says that no wo
man can act up a claim of bollebood un
til she has passed the ordeal of New Or
leans—for there all the reigning queens
of beauty do congregate. New York,
Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore are
nowhoro. In New Orleans gems of love
liness cluster at this season of the year.
They come from every quarter—the vo
luptuous Andalusian, the enticing gri

sunny tint of Italy, the blue uye of Ire

of coumo, rusting secure under tbo brand

the picture ia overpowering—delicious —
flagrant.
Gocuin't Stand the Fire.—Charles
T. Sherman, Judge of the Federal Court
for the Northern District of Ohio, and
brother of tho Senator of that name, has
resigned. It will be remembered that
grave charge* affecting his integrity both
as man and official were mode during tho
last session of Congress, and wero inves
tigated by tho Ways and Means Com
mittee of the House with a view to his
impeachment. The disgust and indigna
tion excited among tho bar and citizens
of bis circuit was so great that that pen
alty would almost certainly have been
visited upon him, and so he dodges it by
resigning. He couldn't stand tbo firo.

Hawkins. D. P- H8L and Gartrell A Ste
phens. Malone’s attorneys. Most of hi*
letter U devoted to aa examination of the
evidence as bearing oat the plea of in
sanity advanced by the counsel, which j
the Governor does not think at all su:fi-
cient for that purpose. He goes over the
whole ground thoroughly, and fails to
find any teitiiuony strong enough to in
duce him to accept the plea as sufficient
to warrant executive clemency. The Gov
ernor .loses his communication as fol
lows:
In closing this communication I can
not refrain from expressing the pain it
gives me to refuse tho praye* of the ap
plicant in this case. But after a most
careful and protracted examination of all
the evidence my mind ia left without a
doubt, ev-. u as to tho juatiooof his ten-

tions of duty, any attempt, upon my part,
to interfere with the prompt execution of
the judgment of the law in this case
would be a delil>erate betrayal of the con
fidence reposed in me by the people. I
fully appreciate the humane feelings
which has prompted so many estimable
citixoue to unit.- ,n a petition for the
ere iso of Executive '-leniency in thisc
But it 1- my duty to be influenced in my
official conduct by such oonsi.ieratio

cases, 1 must act with sole reference to

even Burriet complains of being but the
tool of a sanguinary mob. The demands
of our Government, therefore, if conceded
by Spain, cannot be enforcod on the of
fending Cubans, and this is tbe main dif
ficulty in the ease. Castelar and the
Spanish republicans are ready to do ev
erything the dilemma calls for, but arc
really unable to do anything at ail.
Undoubtedly it ia of tbe first import
ance to the American Administration and
to Radicalism to bring affairs to a deter
mination before tho mooting of Congress,
and this they mean to do. If there ia to
be war or peace, affairs must be in a
train to tvmpnvul Congress to the one
policy or the other, or the whole
party fabric goes to pieces. If the ques
tion of war or peaco comes up with a fair
latitude of choice by Congress, it would
seem to be not improbable that the best
half of the Badical party would bo found
at issue with the President, while per
haps half the Democratic members. North
and South, will rally to the support of a
war programme.
The Radicals are not natural filibus
ters, but tho Democrats are naturally on
that line. They believe in manifest des
tiny and tbo dry rot of all tbo effete Eu
ropean despotisms, and go in generally
for knocking them to flinders. The Rad
icals of tbe present day havo riot a grain
of genuine democracy in their carcasses.
When they talk about "manhood'' and
its rights, they mentally limit all its ap
plication to the negro, and go in for ne
gro simply out of spite, to annoy the
Southern whites. Tho whole clan of
them have no more genuine sympathy
with tho people and popular right* than
Bismarck or the German Emperor. But
tho Democrats ore a people's party, and,
left alone, would knock all tho tyrannies
of tho earth into tho bottomless pit.
Consequently, the Democrats of tho
United State*, as a party, are down on the
atrocious tyranny practiced on tho
holpless Cubans, and arc ready to seize
hold of any apology to smite the red-
breeches with the besom of destruction.
Wo tear tbo Democrats will be the real
war party, while the Radical thieves aro
only lian lling this Culm question in the
interests of mere political pelf.
If this is left an open question when
Congress meets next Monday, the fur will
fly. It will open a fierce and distracting
controversy, which tho Administration
are now pulling all strings to avoid.
We need not say that a war with Spain
for Cuba, opens a now chapter in the his
tory of this government. Tho war with
Mexico, in its consequences, immediate
and remote, on tho character and destiny
of the Republic, was a most porteutious
event s but the war which shall commit
this Republic to a grand colonial, pro
consular system, will bo still more signal
and vital in its consequences. Wo will
not anticipate events.
The Shortest Cut to Specie.
The Northern papers are considering
The Shortest Cut to Specie Payments."
That cut lies across the Florida straits in
the direction of Cuba and in adding a few
thousand millions more to the national
debt- This is in accordance with that
well-known principle that tho "longest
way round is the shortest cut home”—a
principle a* old and well established os
civilization itself. Its application to
financo is manifest. A commonwealth
so much in debt as to find it equally im
possible to pay interest or principal is
within a step of full and final liquidation.
If her creditor* aro not all satisfied they
soon will be—satisfied that they can't get
a continental dime, and the sooner the
dobt ia expunged from their list of assets
and tbo bonds used in singeing fowls tbe
better.
Tho Revolutionary fathers extinguish
ed the continental delit in that way, and
France did tho same with her revolution
ary assignat*—so that, in point of fact,
the rapid increase of these debts proved
the shortest road to a metallic currency
and specie payments. Every million
added hastened tho speed and abbreviated
the road to solvency. Thus the solvency
of tho United States and of Franco rested
on tho broad basis of total insolvency,
and it was tho fact that they could not
pay a mill on tho dollar of their debts
that brought their obligations to par. A
dobt beyond all compass or management
is per force a debt settled, so that when
we add a few thousand millions more to
the debt or the United States, wo settle
tho debt. Our poverty oonsitta in owing
so little that we can just barely pay tho
interest on it, if every man promptly
brings in twenty-seven cents on tbe dol
lar of all the cash that come* to his hand
and casts it into the treasury. Make it
a good deal larger so that every man
must bring in fifty, sixty, or a hundred
cents in tho dollar to pay the interest and
the whole debt is settled in a day, and
we can begin to-morrow on a strictly
specie circulation with no credit at all.
Manifestly, this is a shorter road to
specie payments than any which can pos
sibly bo devised under the existing debt,
and thus sustains our position that the
shortest road to a gold and silver cur
rency is by way of Cuba and another war.
In this light it will be seen that the Car
olina* and Louisiana ore insisting on
soalu^ their debts looseon. Let them
goon, ns they are going, and the whole
of their debt will slab off in a single
scale by one inevitable operation, and in
a moment of time.

A general improvement in business is

January ia drawing on apace, and
planters must begin to lay in their plan

they cannot do under the almost univer

Idle Insurance) Decision.
The following important decision was
rooentiy rendered by tho Circuit Court
of tbe United States for the Western Dis
trict of Tennessee:
CIBCUIT COURT OF THE UNITED STATE* FOB
THE VnCSTERN DISTRICT OF TENNESSEE.
H'. E. Tail ft at.. Heirs of Dnet.tr Samuel
Bo ad. deceased, r». New Yorl Life Insur
ance Company. Commons. J.
A policy of insurance which Indemnifies
a public enemy against loss in time of
war is unlawful; and where entered into
bsforo hostilities, is abrogated when they
oocur. Tho relations it establishes are
illegal between belligerents.
Where a life-policy provides that it
slrall lie void upon tho non-payment of
premiums within the timo prescribed,
such payment is a condition precedent;
time is of the essence of contract, and
there can be no recovery if punctual pay
ment is omitted.
Where the performance of a condition
precedent becomes unlawful, or by tho
act of God impossible, this will not au
thorize a recovery upon the contract
without performance. Such case is dis
tinguished from those in which subse-
qnent impossibility and illegality are re
lied upon as a defence.
A contract of insurance, the continu
ance of which depends upon the election
and acts of the insured, is not like a debt,
the obligation of which is absolute, and
which is suspended only by war.
The relations between the members of
a corporation for mutual insurance pre
sent all tbe evils and are dissolved by
war for the same reasons as those be
tween ordinary copartners.
The reasons for the dissolution of exe
cutory contracts by war are not alone
that such contracts involve inter-com
munion across the hostile lines, or that
they relate to property liable to capture;
but more especially because their execu
tion increases the resources of the enemy.
A court of equity bos no authority to
decree the specific performance of an
agreement in favor of a party who has
failed to perform a condition which is of
the cssenco of the contract, although pre
vented by its becoming subsequently il
legal or impossible by the act of God.
A court of equity will not relieve a party
from the effect of omitting to perform an
act, although tho omission was caused by
subsequent iUogality or impossibility aris
ing from tho act of God, where such act
was merely optional, and the other party
had no right to enforce its performance.
The agency of one representing an in
surance company, authorized to receive
premiums and renew policies, becomes
unlawful when the insured and insurer
become public c rnies.

Off Course.
Of coarse Boost Butler is for war. says
the Courier-Journal. He wanted us to go
to war with Great Britain for the Ala
bama claims, and now he wants ns to go
to war with Spain because she captured
a vessel and executed some men who
were making war on her. Ben would get
some fine pickings if he could be put in
command of a captured city like Havana.
He could rob women and curse them, and
then banish them from his lines without
money or food, and, on his return to Mas
sachusetts, he might again become a re
spectable person, as be was after hi* oc
cupation of New Orleans. War would
help Ben wonderfully. The Tribune also
understands why the Beast is for war. It
says one war " gave him a major gener
al's commission, and another might give
him a character.”
Newspaper Postage.
The Postmaster-Gene rah in his annual
report, estimates that a third of the pos
tage on newspapers is not collected. His
remedy for this loss to the Department is
the prepayment of postage by the quarter.
To avoid trouble and simplify this pre
payment he proposes that publishers of
newspapers shall, under oath, state the
number of papers that are sent from their
respective offices, and pay at the begin
ning of each quarter for the number so
sworn to.
The Richmond Dispatch thinks much
work for the postmasters entailed by the
above system could be avoided by adopt
ing a plan which it suggested some time
since, and which was simply to weigh to
gether all the -packages of papers from
each office and then prepay them by
weight—tbe standard of weight for each

Bethune Still Contests.— It has
been generally thought that General Ma

who was beaten by a majority of 1.853 in
this district by Colonel Henry R. Harris,
Democrat, for Congressman, hail decided
not to contest the election. It appears
that this is a mistake. He now contests
it on the ground that he lost 20,000 votes
by Democratic intimidation. Tho vote
polled was 97 1S-100 of that of the entire
district. All General Bethune can hope
to do is to get some money from Con
gress. Intimidation is too thin. Why
ho—or his party did—voted 500 Alabama

at other points along tho river. Intimi

The Chronicle and Sentinel has the fol
lowing:
Aicebican Generals in Eotft.—A
letter from General A. W. Reynolds, of
the Egyptian army, addressed to Major
J. E. Willis, of Charleston, states that
the American Generals Stone and Loring,
in the service of the Viceroy, have been
promoted to the rank of major general,
und that General Sibley had been dis
charged on account of physical disability.
Referring to the list of "loyl” claim
ants from Chatham, as recently published
by tho Federal Commissioner of Claims
at Washington city, tho Savannah News
says there are in all abont "three hundred
and seventy-six, whoso aggregate claims
amount to nearly two millions of dollars.
This isarather wonderful exhibitof itself,
and shows how truly loyal Chatham coun
ty was to the Federal Government during
the war. But what is stranger about
this remarkable documont, is the number
of negroes who lost fortunes by the "di
does” of their Yankee friends. With the
assistance of a county official who is
pretty well posted as ’to tho status of
nearly every one in the county, wo went
over this list and ascertained that of the
three hundred and seventy-six claimants,
about eighty-seven are white, whose
claims approximate in tho neighborhood
af $300,000, leaving two hundred and
ninety-three colored claimants for nearly
a million of dollars. If these claims bo
granted, and if they are just, it will estab
lish a strong point against the many lies
that havo been manufactured concerning
tbe institution of slavery. There is no
donbt that the greater portion of these
colored claimants were slaves at tbo time,
and if such a small number wero enabled
to accumulate such a largo amount of
property as is claimed, it would certainly
prove thatthey were not so oppressed, etc.,
as onr tender-hearted Northern brethren
have sought to make us believe."
The same paper says money in that

How GinMachisert Ionites.—Under
this bead a correspondent of tbe Colum
bus Sun refutes tbe theory advanced by
Prof. Broun that the probable cause of
the burning of so many gin-houses is at
tributable to friction from the robber
band which generates electricity, by the
statement that the speed of horse power
gins is not sufficient to generate elec
tricity sufficient to set anything on fire,
and goes on to say:
Every observant farmer knows that the
band never gets warm. Not so, however,
with the gudgeons of the saw and brush;
th-*y revolve fifty times whilst the band
wheel revolves once. Bight here lies the

many gin-houses being burnt. It is in the
use ’of improper lubricating materials.
The gudgeons of the saw and tho brush
should bo lubricated with :u thiny but tal
low, pure and unolulteratsd; any other
substance is very dangerous, as I know
by actual experience. The gudgeon of
the brush demands the closest attention,
as particles of lint will accumnlatearound
the gudgeon and work their way down
until they reach the boring, and of coarse
come in direct contact with the lubricat
ing material, and if any other substance
be used but tallow, ignition will take
place. For five years my practice has
been to personally inspect*each box every

Fruit.—Tho Apalachicola Timc3 of the

Gleason arrived Monday morning from
Old Tampa with .26,000 oranges and a
quantity of bananas. J. M. Brown, the

The Palatka Herald says that never,

from the interior ]>ortions of East Flori

lemon, guava and shaddock; and the
quality and flavor is almost unanimously
pronounced to be superior in a marked
degree.
Durino last, month tho business of tho
United States Land Office in Gainesville
was active. There were 65 homestead

Return or Governor Hart.—Tho

turned to the Capital on Saturday even

Executive office. We understand, how
ever, that he is quite unwell and will per
haps be compelled to return to Jackson
ville for further relaxation and rest.
Pork, says tho Tallahassee Floridian,

Troubles of tho Seallavrag “Gover
nor” of South Carolina—Foster
Blodgett Mixed up With Them
Tho Charleston News and Courier
prints a letter from its Columbia corres
pondent concerning a late row between
Moses, scallawag, and so-called Governor
of South Carolina, and ono Neaglo, a no
torious carpet-bagger and ex-office-holder,
in which Foster Blodgett plays a some
what conspicuous part. He says
During tho campaign of 1872, Moses
borrowed from Foster Blodgett, now of
Newberry, sundry amounts of money, and
gave therefor sundry notes endorsed by J.
L. Neaglo. The notes were dne last spring
or winter. In order to quiet Blodgett and
prevent a pressure of the collection of the
notes, Moses of his own accord intimated
to Blodgett that his (Blodgett's) son was a
suitable man for tho place of connty
treasurer of Newberry, and that he meant
to appoint him to the position. Upon
this understanding Blodgett allowed
tho notes to stand over. But Moses
did not stand up to his agreement, and
Blodgett placed the notes in suit and
recovered judgment. Last week the levy
was ordered, and Moses having no visible
effects the sheriff attached Neogle's bridge,
which is the best paying property that
the ex-comptroller owns. Thereupon the
latter became quite indignant, and being
abont three sheets in the wind, swore
eternal vengeance against Moses, and de
clared that he would kill him unless tho
money was immediately paid and the
levy upon his bridge released. "If Moses
i poor.
’ said Neagle, “and could not
pay his debts, I would not grumble and
would meet these obligations, but he has
got as much or more property than I have,
and I will not be swindled in any such
maimer. He has to stop this levy on my
property, or I will stop his life.” ’ Honest
John Patterson hearing these remarks,
and feeling a warm interest in the con-
tinned existence of the Governor drove
down to the executive office and sent in
a hurried note demanding immediate con
ference. He was promptly admitted, and
told Moses the story as it was, abating
nothing, und declaring that Neagle would
surely kill the Governor unless the levy
was immediately stopped. "Why,” said
Moses, tremulous with apprehension, “I
will fix it all right if he will only give me
of that for me—he would as soon shoot
me as yon, and I am not going to jeop
ardize my carcass in any such way, and
I would advise you not to risk yourself
outside of your office until yon have had
this matter arranged.” Whereupon
Moses, it is said, slipped ont of the hack
way of the State-house, and, driving rap
idly home, got Mrs. Moses, in whose name
all' of his property stands, to allow the
levy to be made as against her.
An old bachelor who raises hogs and

Special to the Telegraph and Messenger.}
Atlanta, November 28,1873.
Milton Malone, tho murderer of young
Frank PhiRips, who was to have been
hanged to-day, took morphine in his cell
at midnight last night. A physieian was
promptly called, but Malone violently re
sisted all efforts to induce him to take
medicine, and soon became insensible, and
at eleven o’clock to-day—an hour before
the time set for his execution—ho died.
He left a note addressed to the jailor,
boasting of how badly fooled Judge Hop
kins and his blood-sucking clan would be,
and stating that he had worn the poison
around his neck for weeks.
He wrote a letter on tho 2ith of No

He died, as ho had lived, dofiant, unre

A Moro Hopeful Aspect of Affairs.
Washinqton,November 28.—Tho Cab
inet were in session two hours and a half
to-day giving earnest attention to the
questions pending between tho United
States and Spain. It was remarked by a
Cabinet officer after tho adjournment
that the business was in such a condition
that a single telegram on either side
might change the whole course of pro
ceedings.
To-night it can be confidently said
that the question has assumed a more
favorable aspect than it boro this morn
ing and that there are strong reasons for
expecting results entirely satisfactory,
and, it can be added, on tho same compe
tent authority, that, although nothing
has as yet been reduced to precise terms,
the situation is very hopeful.
The Cabinet.
Washington, November 2S.—A pro
longed Cabinet session was held to-day,
but the Secretaries are uncommunicative.
Press News Withheld.
It. is probable that the press tele

from the wires.
The M. C.’s Coming in.
The usual arrivals of members of Con
gress are taking place, and a sharp coq-
prozressing for House officers.
The Ultimatum.
It ia ascertained that the ultimatum to
Spain is the restoration of the Virgin-
ins, a salute to the United States flag,
the release of those alive, reparation to
the families of those killed and guaran
tees for the future. Tho punishment of
Cuban officials, or the abolition of slav
ery in Cuba, does not enter into the con
troversy. Negotiations are still progress
ing, and the result depends upon a dis
patch from Spain.
Tho Scaffold.
The moke, Henry Young, convicted of
tho murder of Frank Hahn, the Virginia
drover, in March last, was hanged to-day.
He made a statement on the scaffold that
he was prepared to die, and in response
to an inquiry from some one among the
spectators said he was not guilty.

Cuba Preparing for War.
New York, November 28.—A letter
from Havana says tho people there would
refuse to allow any order from Madrid to
deliver np tho Virginias or make other
reparation for her seizure and the execu
tion of her crew, to be carried out.
Preparations for deience are being ac
tively poshed forward. Guns are being
mounted at all suitable points. Adver
tisements appear in the different papers
for on ur limited number of laborers to
work on the arsenals.

three times a week.
Some Tall Talk.
The Vos de Cuba says, in regard to
the report from Washington, that Castel
ar has telegraphed tho Captain General
to excute no more of the Virginius priso
ners. “It cannot be true, since the sen
tence has been imposed by a tribunal of
justice, in accordance with our laws.
The Executive of the Spanish Republic
has not sufficient power to issne such ab
surd orders.”
It says the Captain General of the
Island, in order to extinguish the rebel
Ron, has the power to impose the death
penalty on any one taken in acts of trea
son and force against the Government,
and asks, how then would the Executive
of the Spanish republic dare to govern in
controvertion of law and to override jus
tice, exposing his authority to contempt,
merely to please certain foreign pirates.
War Preparations Still Progressing.
