The U*t phase of,the Virginia* ques tion, at this date (4 r. x. Frida;), aeema 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 Tux Ciiikf Jcsncs. The last news on over to revolution in Spain, and if made this point appears to be that Senator there cannot be enforced in Cuba, where THE GEORGIA PRESS. 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 nd the embonpoint of Holland, tbo sunny tint of Italy, the blue uye of Ire land, the roil rose of England, the " lint- white locks ” of 8cotia, our own seduc tive American*—all warmed and mel lowed by the ann of Louisiana, and all, of coumo, rusting secure under tbo brand rgis of Kellogg and bis negroes. Ah ! 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. Tits Atlantic Monthly. Every Saturday, and the Young Folks, all Boiton publica tions, and heretofore tho property of Jas. R.

The prices paid aro regarded as advantageous to all concerned, but the figures are not given. • What Kascai. Did It?—The villain who has carricatured Hon. A. II.

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- tence. H • has been duly, and. in my judgment, properly convicted of a great crime against the public, and the law •unit be vindicated. With my convic 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 only us should control the action of magistrate, and in this, as in all otb cases, 1 must act with sole reference to the good of the public. The application for Executive clemency js refused. 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.

Hen-e tho wagon trade constitutes one of the most profita ble sources of revenue to the city, and imparts an air of life to the streets which does not exist in any of our seaport towns. A general improvement in business is noticeable, also, all over the city. January ia drawing on apace, and planters must begin to lay in their plan tation supplies, tools, implements and winter outfit of every kind. But this they cannot do under the almost univer sal cash system which has recently been inaugurated, and hence their cotton must be eold, and old boards, if any there be, brought to light. The wheels of commerce, therefore, will again roll onward, and gradually we trust, restored confidence and prosperity [ladden all hearts. When that blissful period arrives, let a wholesome experience teach both seller and buyer, to avoid the credit system, which is the fruitful source of nil our present troubles, as they would a deadly pestilence. A return to it will infolliby result in a repetition of tho wholesale ruin which has well-nigh overwhelmed tbo country. 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. Humes & Postin, for plaintiff; Ran dolph, Hammond Sl Jordan, for defend ants. 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 . , I i paper to be fixed by weighing a g-- vea to the fact that all the honor « due to anJ aggregating them by my gifted friend.

White man or darkey ? War is Douohebtt Countt.—The Albany News reports the following: On Friday, morning. 21st, two negroes, on Mr. Claig’s place." in Lee county, got into a quarrel. Each was armed with a shotgun. One of them becoming ter rible enraged, raised his gun to shoot his adversary, bnt was a little too slow, and received tbe content) of one barrel in bis left vide just below the heart, before be could draw a bead. In the act of falling he fired, and lodged shot in the hand and head of bis antagonist. Number one died presently, and number two was supposed to be dying when last heard from. On last Friday night, Joe Wright, colored, went to tho qnarters of Dr. J. P. Stevens, in Lee county, and got into a difficulty with Tim Robinson, a colored employe of Dr. Stevens. Joe fired at Tim with a pistol, and missed him. whereupon Tim shot Joe through tho heart, killing him almost instantly. The same paper says the Tax Collector of Dougherty county, has collected up to date 515.(XX), leaving a balance of $10,000 to be made up. About two hundred exe cutions have been issued.

Barnes & Co., of Senoia, who failed a few days since have agreed to settle with their creditors at fifty cents on tho dol lar—ten per cent, payable in February, 20 per cent, in November, 1874, and 20 per cent, in February, 1875. We find the following in tho Columbus Sun of Wednesday: Bethune Still Contests.— It has been generally thought that General Ma rion Bethnne, Radical, of Talbot county, 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 negroes in Columbns alone, and numbers at other points along tho river. Intimi dation is pure stuff Col. Wxr. Dotle, a well-known citizen of Richmond connty, and for many years sheriff or deputy sheriff of the county, died last Monday night. 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 market is still very scarce, at rates ruling from 12 to 24 per cent. Securities very dull “For Central railroad stock 68 to 69 is bid, while 72 is asked, there being great uncertainty about the usual De cember dividend, which has a marked in fluence. Bonds of the favorite classes have ruled strong with moderate offer ings, city of Savannah and State of Geor gia being mostly In request. The Atlan tic and Gulf Railroad Company has sus pended the payment of interest on their guaranteed stock, but all coupons of mortgage bonis on the road and its branches have been punctually met. The stock is purely nominal” 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 danger, and h&re tbe • ecret cause of so 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.

When about half way between the house and still ha heard..hem coming up the road, and, to avoid a difficulty, secreted himself in the woods by the roadside, hoping they wonld pass by and not discover him.

Williamson stepped out into the road and told tho men he did not want to have a difficulty, and begged them not to advance on him, as ho would certainly hurt them. Joiner continued to approach him with knife drawn, swear ing that he would kill him. When in six or eight feet, Williamson discharged his gun, putting the load of shot in the lower part of the abdomen. Henry Wor sham fled, and Williamson took tho wounded man in his arms and carried him to the house. Joiner cursed him tho whole time he was dying. He Kved about three hours.

Florida News.' Fruit.—Tho Apalachicola Timc3 of the 14th has this item: "The schooner Mary Gleason arrived Monday morning from Old Tampa with .26,000 oranges and a quantity of bananas. J. M.

It is supposed that a large force of labor ers will bo brought out from the North on the next steamer. 1 Return or Governor Hart.—Tho Floridian says Governor Hart turned to the Capital on Saturday even ing last by special train from Jackson ville, and has resumed the duties of the 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, is selling in this market at 6} to 7 cents by the hog—panic prices. Turkeys sold last week at $1 50 per pair. Beef, pork, at retail, and mutton keep up well—the two former at 12) and tho latter at 15 cents per pound. A tax-paters’ meeting was held in Madison last Saturday week and a com mittee of twenty-five citizens appointed to petition the Governor to postpone the collection of this year’s taxes'. 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 lives alone near the Golden Gate Park, San Franei-co, fell into his well the other day. Although not much hurt he could not get out, and he shouted in vain with out obtaining assistance. Tho next morning the carrier who left his paper tallow to be found in the market.

MAI.OMl. hhcld t...t • lie Takes Morphine and Clients the Gallows. 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 vember, stating that ho did notlielicvo in the Bible nor in bell He died, as ho had lived, dofiant, unre lenting and bitter. 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 Havana and Madrid ore wi1 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. Synopsis Heather Statement.

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. Volunteers have orders to drill two or 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. Fortress Moneoe, November 23.— Twenty mechanics arrived here this for duty in the ordnance ma- iop to work on the 15-inch gun carriages which are now being construct ed.

It is belt ved that Dawes will remain Chairman of the Ways and Means Com mittee. Orth will be made Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs. Scho field. of the Judiciary Committee. Myers, of Naval Affairs, and Sheldon, of Louis iana, of Commerce. Cox, of Now York, will probably recoive the complimentary Democratic vote for Speaker. Rioting Plasterers. New York, November 28.—Several members of the Plasterers' Union to-day entered a building in Brooklyn, where non-society men were working, tore down the staging on which the men were stand. ing and beat them severely. Ono man, it is believed, was fatally injured. No arrests have been made. Ingersoll. The counsel for Ingersoll and Farring ton, late this afternoon, filed an applica tion for a stay of proceedings.

Naval Activity. Work was continued to-day by 2,800 men employed at tho Brooklyn navy yard, there is no decreasing activity in prepar ations of war" ships. A large force is on the Colorado, and her cables were taken on to-day. Increased activity is noticeable on tho ships Minnesota and Ssattora, and the engineering department began this morn ing the work of retubing the boilers of the monitor Dictator. Many mechanics aro working to-day on the Roanakc. Capt. Ransom turned over the business of executive of tho yard to Capt. Chan- dler, commander.
