Cuba, in face of two formidable ininjrec
lions at home—the doubtful fidelity o;

Then it follows that the American gov

business, and this will result in a war
Cuban subjugation, in which Spain will
ultimately take part against us, under
whatever pretenses it may begin. A few

Congress Yesterday.
The message was not delivered yester
day. ftTiile the House was completing
it# organization, the Senate, after wit-
n—Iwj. mi outburst of Sumner on the
mat’or of an intermixture of whites and
-roes, adjourned over till noon to-day,
when it is presumable that both houses
will be ready to.receivt the message.
Sumner’s movement in thJ# matter is
characteristic of the man. He is nothing,
if not purely selfish and sensational. His
hybridising bill belongs to him and he
means to keep sole and exclusive poeataion
of the property. Ha wants to monopolize
that distinction as the champion of Afri
ca. If ho wanted ths bill to pass or ex.
period to peas it, ho would neTer have
seised such an oscaaion to thrust it down
the throats of tho Senate. His purpose
was to show Africa tho faithlessness of
the Grant party in the Senate, and the
boldness and fide] ty of Charles Sumner in
behalf of the great cause of hybridism in
the United States.

Tlio Rcn-son Why.
The conductor in oharge of tho Savan
nah train on the Central Railroad on the
night that "H. H. J.” passed down, and in
common with his fellow passengers of tho
sleeping car, encountered so many hard
ships, called at this offico yesterday, and
made the following satisfactory explana
tion ,
On the night in question (a very bitter
one) his entire force pf assistants were
prostrated by sickness, end foe could se
cure tho services of a tingle greenhorn
ogly, who was improvised for the occa
sion. Th® stock of wood placed in the
car he declares v»s ample, but improvi
dent passengers, of whom there was a
large number, bound for the Pair, squan
dered it incontinently. The soap. also, ho
says was stolen, and tlie water in the ice
coolers wasted. Boots were not blacked
because the porter was disabled by sick-
__j. Ho, himself, though in charge of
on extra long train, had labored hard to
supply nil deficiences, and even carried
wood into tho cars with his own hsnds.
This conductor is gn old and tried ser
vant of the company, and we believe his
statements implicitly. The circumstances
wore certainly extenuating, though tho
facts as stated by us were unquestionably
true. Tho old Central has always been
celebrated for its excellent management
and the extra attention paid to the com
fort of passengers. Wo should bo sorry
to see it lose its prostigo in this partic

ductor and tho stir our letter lias occa

A Wxll Posted ••Gaasosa.”—The
Athens Georgian tells the following
story i A Granger, who is one of our best
fanners, a highly intelligent and respect
able citizen, holding offioe in the Grange,
saw an article in an agricultural paper
saying, to "prevent goats from jumping,
cutoff their lower eye-lashes, and they
will nevor jump." The gentleman, who
owned a Urge herd of troublesome jump
ing goats, called in his neighbors to wit
ness the modus operands by whieh he cored
his goats of this bad habit. They assem
bled at hit house, anxious to boo what
they believed to !>e an impossibility,
Tho goats were called up, the shears
sharpened, and one caught—when, to tho
surprise of all, the goat had no under
eyu-lashes. Several were caught and ex
amined, but "nary oye-lasli” could be
found. Not one of the assembled party
knew that 4 gnat had no bashes on the
lower lid, nr It they did, they determined
to say nothing, hot enjoy the jqjfe on
their friend and neighbor.
AVx quote os follows from tho Columbus
Sun, of Sunday: sy'
Tax Rexains or Milton Malone.—
Tho remains arrived from Atlanta last af
ternoon at half post one o’clock on the
Macon train. No notice had been given
of their coming this way, except a brief
telegram received in tho morning, which
becamo known however to a considerable
number. Several hundred friends met at
the depot, and escorted nil that was left
of their friend and acquaintance to the
residence of his aunt, Mrs Musgrove. In
the line were many of the nod prominent
citizens of Columbus. Tho coffin, an ele
gant one. was enclosed in a plain pine
box. By request of many warm friends,
tho parents consented to postpone the
funeral until 9$ a. x. to-day. After the
arrival at his aunt’s the coffin-plate was
opened and many gazed on the liniaments
of him who hod been their associate and
schoolmate for many yeais. .Tho dead
appeared to sleep calmly, almost a stuilc
resting on his features. None of life's
passions remained. , /
A Gallant Soldier and a Good
Citizen Gone.—It will grieve many
hearts in Columbus to know that Mr.
Henzy Henes died in Montgomery yes
terday morning of yellow fever. We
made a brief mention in onr noon pa
per. The deceased was only thirty-six
years of age. He was bom in Alsace,
near the boundary of France and Ger
many, but came to Columbus several
years antedating the war, and resided
here until 1872, when be moved to Mont
gomery. A truer soldier the Confed
eracy did net have. At first ho was a
member of tho City Light Guards, Sec
ond Georgia Battalion, and subsequently
a daring scout to General Doaring. No
wan in tho Army of Northern Virginia
did his duty more faithfully for four
years than he. A more chivalric, fear
less heart never beat. He was a warm
friend and open foe. He once .outwitted
the whole detective force of the United
States, including that prince of scoun
drels. Whitcly. He has been thrice mar
ried and has left a wife, nee Miss Mary
Gresham, of Columbus, and one young
child. HU life was insured for $3,000.
He will be buried to-day in Montgomery.
Tiraot-oii Cotton fob Savannah and

Goino to Tsxas.—The Jlj-ujiswick Ap
peal has this paragraph under the above
head i
We are told that quite a number of
persons, who lire on the Suwannee river,
Fla., are about to embark for Texas. The
reason assigned is that since the carpet
baggers were whipped out at the Georgia
elections last fall, their allies have
crowded on them so thick that it makes
it npplcawit for their hog* and cattle.
They die with ths sore throat.
The Chronicle jnd Sentinel leoms from
Mr. J. G. Ponder. *ho lives in Jefferson
county, six miles east of Louisville, that

age ’ Ali the mules on the place were
killed, and every tree was blown down
and the timbers of the dwelling so twist
ed and disjointed that if wjU h*T« to be

visited Mr. Ponder’s brother’s place near

the gin house and gin.
Tux Savannah papers say the director*
qf tljc pair Association of that city are
well satisfied with the financial results of

ed by the last Fair, they announce that
they have realized a handsome profit.
The Telegraph and Hessenorr ia very
glad to hear it.
A Yooso Max Shot at and Peobablt
Killed.—We find the following in the
Savannah Advertiser of Sunday :
A voung man named George W. Hines,
who claimed to be a relative of Mr. Kirk-
fey, of the firm of Kirksey A Scott, of
this citv, visited station No. 11, on the
Mae-on an J Brunswick road, a short time
ago for the purpose- of soliciting thepo--.-
tion of telegraph operator (such being
his occnpat ion) at that point. A young
ladvhad already procured the p>»tt“»
and consequently Hr. Hines failoJ. While
there he stopped with an aunt,-who taepi
a boarding house, and, anfortooikjj,
dan Westmoreland gave her lecture on
“Shot- at Social Myths." The audience
was also an eminently intellectual one.
and its sympathy with the speaker was
undeniable. The "social myths" of Mrs.
Westmoreland wvr> our fricud.-, onr ac
quaintances, our pnrpo. es and our be
liefs. and the burden of her argument
was to the effect that this life is but a
fleeting show for man's illusion given;
but the gloomiest view of our every day
affairs was doubtless presented the better
to suggest the brighter possibilities.
The lecture included several shrrp and
timely hit*, a* we call them, shot* at in
disputable realities which are not social
myths, and these, especially the allusions
to’ Burriel and the problem in the ever-
fa'thful isle, were warmly applauded.
There was a reference to “those classical
idiots," Damon and Pythias, who, having
nothing else to do and being unburdened
with fears of an after-life, were willing to
die for each other. But friendj of this
sort, the speaker thought, are not val
uable now.
Mr*. Westmoreland has a gentle, musi
cal voice, and her personal appearance
was sufficient to awaken a prejudice in
her favor before she spoke the opening
words of her discourse.
We aw gratified to learn from other
sources that the "lecture was a decided
success in every respect; and that Mrs.
W. will probably start upon a lecturing
tour through the South and Southwest
in February.
We ore also pleased to know that she
has seen and keenly appreciates our de
fence of her against tho unkind and un
just attacks of a portion of the Georgia
press and their correspondents, as the
following card testifies:
New Yoek, November 27,1873.
Mrs. Westmoreland presents her kind
regards to the editors and proprietors of
the Telegraph and Messenger, and de
sires tq return her sipcere thanks to
them for their defence of her against the
unjust attacks made upon the small part
she took in the " Woman’s Congress.”
Increasing the Revenue.
From the Cincinnati Commercial.]
Washington, November 25.—Tho con
cession is made on all bands that the rev
enues must he increased, and the ques
tion is as to tho method. The organiza
tion of Congress is a high tariff organi
zation. the Speaker, the Chairman of the
Way-; aqd Moans and of the Senate Fi
nance Committee being high tariff men.
From all that can be gathered at present
from Congressmen arrived and Treasury
correspondence, there will be but little
opposition to a return of the tax upon
tea and coffee, and the protectionists from
nil quarters will insist upon an increase
of duty on metals, cotton and woolen
goods, and staplo productions, with an
abolition of internal foxes, provided for
by Schedule C, which includes taxes on
patent medicines, cosmetics, soaps, per
fumery, matches, bank checks, drafts, and
orders. The revenue reformers and low
tariff men will insist upon the increaso be
ing accomplished by maintaining, if not
raising, the taxes, and increasing the
duties on all fancy goods and articles of
luxury. A strong, persistent effort will
be mode to increase the tar on spiritu
ous and malt liquors of all kinds, and
tobacco in all it forms, bat it does not
meet with favor, it is said, except among
those who can hold large stocks. The
Secretary of the Treasury, the Commis-
missioncr of Internal Jtevenno, the Chair
man of tho Cflmmittee of Ways and
Means, and all of the officials who have
to do with these matters, testify that our
laws governing the collection of taxes
upon thoso articles are working better
now than they havo ever before, and they
desire no change. Letters are -received
daily from distillers, brewers, dealers,
and others interested in distilled spirits
and malt liquors, as well as producers of
tobacco and cigars, expressing the utmost

the Internal Kevenuo laws as regards

Tennessee Iron Interests—Important
Sale Near Chattanooga.
The Chattanooga Commercial of tho
27th has the following: "Mr. James M.
Burnup, of London, England, who some
months since contracted by cable for a
large body of valuable iron and coal land
at Smith’s X Roads, the property of CoL
W. A. Hoskins, of this city, arrived here
on last Monday, and completed the sale
by making the first payment. Mr.
Burrmp, in company with Colonel Hos
kins, left yesterday for Rhea ouunty
for the purpose of acknowledging and
having recorded the necessity papers.
We are informed the intention is to im
prove the property very soon by the
erection of blast furnaces. Tho invest
ment in itself is a very important one,
and with ns a splendid one at this time,
but in the vast iron territory around ns—
it is but a speck. Mr. Bnmup bids fair
to become as useful to our section of coun
try by prosenUng ifo attractions to Eu-
rope.’as General Wilder has proved him
self to bo in introducing our rosduroes to
the people of the United States. In ad
dition to proving his faith by his works,-
by investing a large amount of iron land
contiguous to Chattanooga, he has pre
pared and circulated in England a map
showing the resources of lower EastTea-
nossoe. He has also discussed the iron
interest* of this country ia the columns
of tho London Times, in a manner calcu
lated to awaken the liveliest interest in
onr immediate section on the part of Eng
lish capitalists and iron masters.

About one o’clock on the morning of
November 10, a large merchant vessel
under full sail and oa fire yas seen run
ning for Kingstown Barbqr, ig Ireland.
She proved to bathe Nangpore, an iron
ship from Calcutta for Liverpool, with a
cargo of cotton, jute and saltpetre. She
had taken fire four days before and the
crew h«A become so worn out in their
efforts to keep down the flames that when
she entered ths harbor they were unable
to take in sail. Both anchors were let
go, but they did not catch, and she drift
ed among the vessel* with which the har
bor was crowded. She struck a heavily
laden schooner, causing her to sink,
while the crew saved themselves by
climbing into the rigging of the Nang
pore. Another srhooner and a sloop were
also wrecked by the burning vessel, the
captain of the sloop being thrown over
board and drowned. The Nangpor
fimtllv came-to opposite the Royal Irish
Yacht Clubhouse. And eh was sunk by
the guns cf fwo revdnue cutters after it
s I had been found that she could not be
ly inside of the house, which was crowded
| at the rime. The excitement was intense.
| Men tumbled headlong cut of t win

i • of -af ty, piling oh 1 upon topi of an-
! other, secreting under and lie hind tenehc3
and pillars. The stove and court-house
walls were literally riddled with bullets ;
while two men lay dead on the floor, one
other mortally and three others slightly
wounded. Theodore Davis. Sr., wax shot
through the heart and died immediately,
and his son, Larue Davis, after receiving
four bullet* in hi* body, fell, and died in
a few minutes. Theodore Davis, Jr.,
was shot through the body and also
in the right hand. He lived until this
morning and expired about ten o’clock.
He walked from the court-liouse i to the
Adam* Express office after he wax shot,
and did not at the tune thick he wns
seriously hurt. Phil. B. Thompson, Sr.,
was shot through the right thigh. J. B.
and his brother, P. B., Jr., were wounded
slightly and several holes shot through
their clothing., D. M.. another brother,
also had hi* clothes perforated with bul
let*. One ball passed through his hat.
The fight, though sudden, was not wholly
unexpected, for it was generally known
that both parties were armtd, and Judge
IVickliffe had the day previous ordered
the sheriff to arm himself and deputies,
and be ready to quell any disturbance
that might arise, and to "hip it in the
bad” at all hazards. However, when
the difficulty did begin the danger
was thought to have been over,
and the Sheriff, with the judge’s
permission, hod gone home. The
16th of December has been set for the ex
amining trial, and until then no further
particulars will bo brought to light. The
cause of the fight was about a suit which
had been brought by one Meux against
Theodore Davis for $2,500. Davis swore
that he had paid the money, and produced
the note as ovideuce. and Mr. Thompson,
Sr., contended that the note had not been
paid and that it had been surreptitiously
obtained from his desk. Sack, I am in
formed, was in substance the origin of the
difficulty which terminated so seriously.
A father and three sons were arrayed
againsta father and three sons, and whilst
I write, a father and two sons lie dead in
one house, while a father and two sons lie
wounded in another. Both families live
on the same street, not far apart. The
battle, for such it may bo called, was
short, fierce anil decisive. There was no
flickering.- All the parties were cool and
determined and ptA a shut was fired at
random or without aim. The dead will
be buried in one grave to-morrow, and
Wednesday, the 26th of November, 1873,
will hereafter be known as tho “Bloody
Wednesday” in the history of Harrods-
burg.
Foreign ministers at ■Wash
ington.
A gossipy Washington correspondent
of tho Now York Graphic writes as fol
lows concerning various members of the
diplomatic corps in that city:
The diplomatic circle which Mr. Cush
ing adorns is the most mysterious of all
our circles. The attaches generally eat
at a cheap restaurant in the rear of Wil
lard’s Hotel. The Ministers dine out
when they eat anything. - The English
Minister is an inoffensive, tall man, who
walks as if ho were chasing liarc3 np
Pennsylvania avenue. He has the best
residence of any of them, having rented
the honse of a Pittsburg gun-contractor,
who gave shoddy entertainments during
the war, made a large fortune, and" was
finally cleaned -out by some Wall street
sharps, so that he actually had to go to
Europe with his family and live as mod
erately as some of their kings. Sir Ed
ward Thornton has been as efficient a Min
ister of the United States as of England,
and the last of his good works in onr
behalf was to get a Parliamentary appro
priation for a ministerial residence at
Washington, on which the builders are
now at work.. This is tho first investment
made by any foreign government in the
American Capital. The house stands on
what is called “ Honest Miner’s Camp,”
where Bill Stewart and the Pacific coast
circle are patting np costly houses. Tho
French Minister lias recently opened a
roomy house in an cxecrablo new row.
Ho is a polite, chirpy young man, with
nothing much to do. By the way, Carl
Schurz told me that he was so disgusted
with the news of MacMahon succeeding.
Theirs as controller of France that he
would not go to Paris at all. The Aus
trian and the North German Ministers
are both Barons, and very unlike each
other. Schlozer, who represents Bis
marck, is often called the crazy Dutch
man, on account of his walking foil tilt,
and never carrying an umbrella in the
rain. His vivacity, rapid speech and ges
ticulation are all French. He is a bach
elor, and a right good fellow, who will
drop in anywhere and drink a glass of
beer, and he is one of tho most gallant
attendants on the American girls. His
father wa* a diplomatist, and Schlozer
has served in Mexico and Petersburg,
and written several books on court in
trigues. He says that Washington is the
most pleasant city in tho world, and will
be tho most perfect capital. The Aus
trian Minister. Lcderer, is an aristocratic
old gentleman, with a slender body and
finely shaped head, which is said to con
tain no very great contents. But he

Attempt to Break Jail—A Persnasive
Argument in tho Shape of Five Kegs
of Powder.
Little Rock, Ark., November 2S.—On
Tuesday last the prisoners in Clarksville
jail overpowered the guards and took pos
session of their arms. The alarm was
given before they got ont, and the citizens
of the town surrounded the jail. One of
the prisoners, Sid Wallace, sentenced to
be hung on the 23d of next month, fired
a double-barrel shot gun at two citizens
in the street, severely if hot fatally
wounding both. The citizens then took
possession of the first floor of the jail,
put five kegs qf powder in it, laid a train
for some distance, and notified the priso
ners' that unless they surrendered in
thirty minutes they would blow up the
building. After a little parley they sur
rendered, throwing their arms out at the
window. As one of the guns struck the
ground it went off. slightly wounding
three persons. Wallace and another of
the prisoners were brought here last
night and lodged in the penitentiary. He
will be taken out and hung next month.
He has killed quite a number' of men,
among them the late Hon. Elisha Jlerse,
Circuit Judge, and is the must desperate
character in that section of country.

wind blowing; but there was a heavy
sea. The captain had just retired tfnd
the second officer was m charge. The
lights on the streamer were all right.
The collision was wholly unexpected.
The Lochearn struck the steamer amid
ships, and made a chasm 12 feet deep and
from 25 to 30 feet wide. The exact posi
tion of the Ville du Havre at the time
was, latitude 47:9J, longitude 35:31. A
panic tool; possession of the passengers.
Five minutes after the collision the main
and mizz’en masts fell across two large
boats which were filled with people and
ready for Launching. The boats were
crushed, and many of their occupants
'killed and injured.
In the brief interval between the col
lision and the sinking of the steamer tdie
crew were able to launch only a whale
boat and the captain’s gig. The Lo
chearn went a mile before stepping. She
then got ont boaU tP piefc up the people
straggling in tho water.
Mje?;ntimc the whale-boat, under the
command of the second lieutenant of the
vessel, picked up one load of those who
were clinging to planks, spars, etc., and
took them to the Lochearn. Sho re
turned to the scene and rescued another
load. Captain Surmont, who remained
on deck to the last, was rescued by this
boat.
Three quarters of an hour after the col
lision, one of his officers swam a mile to
the Lochearn and was hauled on board
with a rope. The boats continued to
search the water in the vicinity of the
disaster until there was no hope of sav
ing more lives. The cold was intense.
Many of the survivors were immersed two
hours and were almost lifeless when res- i
cued.
The ship Tri-Mountain sighted, iho j
Lochearn at 8 a. >r., six hcUqS 'Alter the I
sinking of the eter.mq^ and rescued th.t* |
survivors befcic, reported. Those saved
speak in t^e highest terms P'_ Kindness of
OfcpV* t/rquhart* her Commander. There
were six st<iirw^,yg on the Ville du Havre.
