Here wa hare tho precise state of
things, evidently anticipated by the Ad
ministration when it threw out, in the
message, that fierce malediction against
"the reactionary, pro-slavery party of
Havana, who are vainly striving to stay

which have doom* 1 slavery in Christen
dom." Tha party of usurpation and
treason to the homo government, and the

No one can read the protocol with

inconsistent character- Spain is forced
to surrender the Virginius and the sur
viving prisoner, at onee; but in rospect
to other items of condonation or atone
ment, they are postponed to a day sub
sequent to the decision of the legal point
as to whether the Virginius was properly
wised or rightfully entitled to American
protection.
Suppose this point should be decided
in tbo negativo—where, then, tho pro
priety of tho previous surrender of the
Virginius ? Would she not bo improp
erly in powession of the American Gov
ernment f Would sbe not bo the right
ful prize of Spain ? And would it not be
ipeumbent on the American Government

ent on, and subsequent to, the decision

Doe. it not raise a strong suspicion that
tho peremptory surrender was not re
quired in the interest, of peace, but of
provocation P
And why this furious onslaught on the
rtavcholdcrt of Cuba? What have wo to
do with them more than with the African
anthropophagi—or tbe cannabals of Mad-
agaski—tho Pagans of Chino—or the
Coolie slaveholder* of Holland, France,
Portugal, or the South American States?
If slavery U such an awful crime, have
we been free of it ouroolvc. so long as to
set up gracefully as it, most impatient
and intolerant foe among all the nations
of the earth ?
But it is of a piece with the John
Brown tactics in the war against slavery
in the States, and will answer its purpo«>.
The refusal of Cuba to comply with the
Stipulations of the treaty will next bring
a renewal of the original proposition to
oo-operate with the Spanish government
in th, enforcement, of the treaty and the re
duction of tbo insurgent Cubans to submis
sion. Thero are now two insurrections in
fall blast on that island—and it is in a state
of outlawry. Can Spain co-opcmto with
the United States in the reduction of
Cuba? The attempt to do it will bo fatal
to the Cattelar republic in a week. Can
sho attempt the biuincss of reduction
herself? This Is oqnally impossible. Sho
has neither troop., nor money, and ha.
already a qOQjdo of domestic insurrections
of her own to deal ejjh.
Nor, we believe, can she rely for co
operation on her fleet in Caban waters.
It would revolt at once. No doubt it is
now in practical co-operation with the
Havana Volunteers nail will continue so.
If it were merely the seizure of the Vir
ginias, that might, perhaps, to Afiqjm-
plishcd by a naval expedition, but there
aro the prisoners to be re-oaptured—the
reclamation of confiscated American prop
erty to bo enforced and tho rights of
American citizens in Cuba to bo protected.
In that, tho oompleto reduction of the
island i. demanded by tbo situation, or,
a. the other alternative, tho modification
or abandonment of the treaty concession*.
Under these circumstances it seems to
us easy to predict that tho American ad
ministration will feel itself compelled to
asFaij Cuba by sea and land. That the
war will figure os another grand crusade
against slavery—thiii the Castelar Re
public will speedily Itf oyerthfown, and
if Spain be not wholly crippled by an.ir
chy, sbo will be drawn into the fight
against u. very ipndflj. and the who!
will probably wind up in Cuban annexa
tion.

Mr, Harry Brown, of this firm, has re
cently visited New York, and striking the
"Emporium" in the darkest days of “the
panic,” at once stormed and carried the
citadel containing all the beautiful things
the young ones love so well. He re
turned laden with the precious spoil, and
is now resolved to break down and de
stroy that senseless panic which for weeks
has .at like a nightmare upon the heads
of the entire community. But how can
he do this ? He will tell you, first, by
furniriiing a variety of such beautiful ob
ject. to fond parents, that in the happi

ignore the present; and secondly, by sell

Grant’s recommendation favoring the
repeal of the bankrukt law so far as it
relates to involuntary bankruptcy, and
Morton's bill introduced the first day of
the sossion responsive thereto, are very
significant, read in the light of the above
statement.
We do not like to charge such things
upon the President of the United States,
bat tbe conviction forces itself upon our
mind that we would pot rave found that
recommendation in his message, bad not
Jay Cooke 4 Co. gone by tho board. They
were the peculiar pets and allies of the
administration—deep in the financial se
crets of its members, and tho leaders of the
party in both house, of Congress. If the
full light of honest legal investigation be
let in upon tbe affairs of that banking
house, there will probably be a worse
slaughter of tbe high-toned pillars of the
loyl congregation than followrtl the Credit
Mobilier bomb-tbelh Hence this recom
mendation and Morton's biJL The legis
lative power of the country is to bo di
verted from its legitimate work, to res
cue a syndicate of loyl money-changers
from their well merited fate, and a host
of zealous supporters and tools of the ad
ministration from exposure.
Since writing the above we find tbe
following In tbo Chicago Tribune which
takes the same view of tho matter. The
Tribune's article was written before the
President's message appeared, and there
fore, before Congress bad met and Mor.
ton’s bill had actually been introduced:
Tlio latest giving ont ia that Senator
Morton intends to iutroduoe a bill to re
peal all that part of tliu bankrupt law au
thorizing involuntary bankruptcy, and to
include in the repeal all such bankrupt
cies as may have taken placo since the
first of September last. This is intended,
perhaps, to rescue Jay Cooke A Co. from
the proceedings in bankruptcy already
begun, and to compel the creditors to ac
cept such terms of settlement os that firm
may propose. Any retroactive legisU-
‘ thifi kind must always '
mull Congres, infceryx
p
tion of thifi kind piuxt always be vicious.
Why should Congress intervene topre-
vont Jay Cooke's bankruptcy ? What
claitnhas ha upon tho nation that its laws
must' oo changed to suit his convenience,
and the process of the courts arrested for
that purpose? Apart from tho great
scandal to which such a proceeding will
give rise, this kind of legislation is fun
damentally wrong.
Chief Justico Williams.
We aro of opinion that tho Cincinnati
Commercial knows exactly what it is
talking about when it says of Grant’s
new Chief Justico that his appointment
- is stupid and disgraceful,” and “should
bo scornfully rejected by the Senate.” It
adds: *
Williams owes his sueoess to pexsistept
toadying of tho President, to Boss Shep
herds's Improvment Bing, and to petty
social influences. Williams is ono of the
rapidly enriched men of tho District—a
man of no capacity as a statesman, and
of little reputation ai a lawyer.
Thero is not a Justico on tho bench of
tho Supreme Court who would not have
adorned tho chair of the Chief Justice, as
compared with tho flabby pomposity and
shoddy glitter of the lamentable Wil
liams.
The cpupiiy }s shamed by the appoint
ment of tl»s mu3), h*s peyer render
ed a public service cither cpnspicuous or
memorable. There is no act of his life,
no merit os a lawyer, no fame as a plead
er, no reputation as a jurist, no force of
character or strength of mind, no record,
no hopes, to warrant or excuse this pre
posterous appointment—of which wa can
only say at last, that it is eminently
characteristic of President Grant.

Bra On* os tm Southwestern
Railroad.—The train coming from Ma
con jumped the track at Sparks' crossing
yesterday, five miles this side of Geneva.
The engine ran over a cow and was over
turned. The fireman was badly bruised
by wood falling on him. No one else was
injured. The engine is considerably
hreken np and the trucks of the front
cars damaged. Information was con
veyed to this point, and a special train,
on which was W. L. Clark, general agent
of the Central railroad at thia point, sent
ont to bring in the passengers and mails.
The transfer was effected at the wreck.
Eastward bound passengers were carried
by asuthes special to Macon. We did
notreoeivo our mails until after dark.
As it was impossible to pass the wreck,
the night freight and accommodation
train did not leave Columbus. Tho track
will be all right today.
Public Sales ih Chattahoochee
Coustt.—The sales of real estate at Cus-
seta on Tuesday, were considerable but
very poor prices were realized. Thus, in
accordance with a judgment in tho case
of Martha Robb vs. John W. Wright, a
plantation of 850 acres, running to the
river, was purchased by Reese Crawford,
Esq., of Columbus, for $1,400. On the
place is a good seven-room residence.
Other places brought very small prices—
land l«bs than diia tq two dqllars por acre.

Jud^e Holt's Reply to Andrew John,

WASHtsoroB, December 1.—Judge-
Advocate-General Holt publishes a long
rejoinder to ex-Preeident Johnson. He
says Mr. Johnson is guilty of gross per
version in his statement of what occurred
at their interview just previous to the

ilies who went from this county and Mur
ray at that time, have recently returned
bankrupt in property and health, and
;at ethers will soon follow.
A correspondent of the Dawson Journal
says a negro man on the farm of Capt.
Whitikcr.of Terrell county, “with his wife
anl two small children, as helpers, with
two mules, made the present year twenty-
one bales of cotton, averaging five hun
dred pounds each, three hundred bushels
of com. six thousand pounds of fodder,
forty bushels of potatoes, two barrels of
syrup. In addition to this, he had a
p^tcli that ho called "his patch,” from
which he realised one hundred dollars.
Ho has cleared (luring the year twelve
acres of land, kept the fence comers op
his farm perfectly clean, ahd'dono the
blacksmith work for twenty-fivo plows—
the latter at night- iff splitting rails
with which to repair his fences. Qther
colored tenants on tho place have done
remarkably well—averaging eight hales
of cotton to tho mule, two hundred bush
els com, syrup apd potatoes in propor
tion.”
The same paper eajs the Messrs. Prince
of Dawson have a sow that has made
them ono hundred dollars ip the past
eighteen months, and they have on hand
at least $75 worth of her pigs.
The Albany News learns that on last
Saturday Mr. Strange, residing near Hog-

the assault and cutting was fiendish and
brutal. Mr. Strange is said to be a clever

from his wounds. The negro was ar

The Yille Da Havre.
This unfortunate steamship was built
in 1SG6, and under the name of Napoleon
TTT, run as one of the four steamships of
tho Trans-Atlantic Company. She was
then a paddle steamer of 4,000 tons. Sub
sequently sbe was altered into a screw
, steamer and her capacity increased to

now seeks to put into Holt's mouth.
Mr. Holt says s “While of course I as
sented then, as I do now, to the general
doctrine that sex is no excuse for treason
or other crime, the vehement presenta
tion of that view came from Mr. Johnson
after reviing tha {recommendation for
commutation, not from myself.”
Mr. Holt say* that Mr. Johnson’s mo
tive for the original fabrication of his ca
lumny was to appease the. Catholics,
among whom there was universal exas
peration at the execution of Mrs. Surratt,
a member of their church. This smote
bells were unheard through the tempest,
and the people on the two vessels were
only made aware of the danger by the
crash of the ships coming together."
An examination of ihe diagram of the
Ville du Havre shows that all the state
rooms of both first and second class were
situated on the main deck: that the
first-chus state-rooms were *n the out
side on either side of the vessel, and that
the second-class state-rooms occupied
the centre or inside section of the ship.
On either side of the second-class state
rooms corridors 220 feet in length sepa
rated them from the state-rooms of the
first-class. Scant opportunity there was
for escape daring the twelve minutes
when the 130 passengers or more who
were on board (sucb of them as knew of
the peril), crowded in the narrow corri
dors in a frantic effort to reach the deck,
struggling in dense masses and retarding
each other's movements, or, as is the
case in all similar sudden calamities, ran
to and fro. impeding eoch other's prog
ress, in wild efforts to collect into groups
the individual members of families so as
to make their way all together to the
decks.
In surir a disaster as this of the Vale du
Havre every second’s time thus lost car
ried with it the lews of a human' life.
When the blow was given there was no
question of working pumps or of attempt
ing to repair damages. The side of the
great ship was opened to the sea when
a backward movement of the vessel or
the rebound caused the bow of the Loch
Earn to emerge from the yawning chasm
which it had made in the hull of the
steamer. In that withdrawal the water
rolled into the body of the doomed ship
os though it were the Mississippi river,
at high water, pouring in a flood through
a broken levee. Overtaken in overflowed
state-rooms, saloons and stairways, scores
of passengers must have died, surrounded
by the mockery of crimson and gold,
marbles and paintings and velvet.
In three or four minutes after the col
lision the natural weight of the vessel,
aided by the vast volumes of water that
she had absorbed, had probably brought
the sea to a level with the saloon floors.
In that interval how many had been
aroused to the terrible danger; how
many, weak and hopeless with sea sick
ness, lay in their berths knowing the
truth, listening to the tumult, the cries,
the shrieks, the prayers in the corridors
without, and yet content to die; how
many still slept while tho water lapped
their very pillows ? .
Upon the deck, where ran to and fro
those who had escaped submerging in tho
rising waters below, watching tho sea as
it came nearer with the rapid settling of
the ship, or vainly seeking admittance to
the boats—ono can imagine the piteous
scene! It will be enough to read of these
things when tho narratives of survivors
shall ho told, hut fancy can scarcely ex
aggerate tho manifold horrors of tho few
minutes that preceded tho engulfing of
the noble ship. Of tho eighty-seven
saved we read that fifty-three were of the
officers and orow. This leaves fifty-four
of the passengers who managed, in that
fierce struggle for life, to reach tho boats
of the Loch Earn. According to the pub
lished names of the. passengers on the
vessel there were fifty-seven women and
eight children among them; in the list
of the saved the names of ten women, so
far, are given, but not the name of a sin
gle child.
C0NGBESS-THE MESSAGE.
The Talk and the Temper of the Radi
cal YfrOorit/.
Tho special Washington telegrams to
the Courier-Journal havo the following
upon tho reecptbn of tho message—the
talk in Congress about it, and other
points of the situation:
Washington-, December 2.—There was
the usual interest felt in the House to
day, to hear the President’s message.
The paper not being printed previously,
members, in order to learn the points of
tho message, naturally listened to the
reading of tho document by tho Clerk,
until its stupidity fairly wearied them
out. Tha ftonorol Impression i-that xne
message was utterly unworthy of a great
occasion. Even Republicans seem to fic
ashamed of-ji, and‘are shy of expressing
their opinion. Democrats are more freo
to apeak out what they think. Tho res
ervation of the correspondence on tho Cu
ban question, in order to await verifica
tion of the cable dispatches, will give the
Government timb to receive back tbo
Virginius and her captives before Con
gress can act upon, or even fairly, discuss
the subject. This is almost the only por
tion of the document regarded as prudent
statesmanship.
FINANCIAL KXCOXXENDATIONS OBJECTED
TO.
The financial part of it is especially
contemned os muddy oqd inconsistent,
advocating specie payment iq theory
while urging inflation -wheh it comes to
action.
THE VETO TOWER.
Tho suggestion of a Constitutional
amendment allowing tho President to
veto any part of a bill he pleases, and to
approve others, strikes every ono os a
monstrous step toward despotism, as it
would practically give tho President tho
entire power of legislation. In tho Con
federate Constitution tho President was
empowered to disapprove any appropria
tion and to approve others in the same
bill; but this was limited to appropria
tions, whereas, according to President
Grant, this power would extend to all
subjects of legislation and make his will
the law.
EXTRAORDINARY SI33IQX3.
The power of dictating the subjects to
come before' tho Congress, excluding nil
others, for which ho also asks, is plainly
borrowed from European examples, and
will encounter scant favor oven from this
Congress.
OFFICIAL RESIDENCES.
The idea of building residences here
for the Cabinet, Senators, etc., has also a
decided squinting towards monarchy.
Following these suggestions comes very
appropriately an indorsement of the
corrupt Washington City ring.
THE RRCOXXXNDATIONS TO BE IONORXD.
To my that the message fell flat la
very imperfectly to describe the failure.
Such is the general view of the docu
ment, and it is generally conceded that
Congress will proceed to legislate, es
pecially upon financial matters, with very
tittle reference to what the President has
just said to them.
THE LOUISIANA AFFAIR.
The discussion of the Louisiana ques
tion was interrupted by this Bnnsby-tike
paper, and was resumed 03 soon as the
message was referred to the Cqmmittpe
of the Whole. The indications to-day
are that tho Radical majority means to
push their power and malignity for the
South to the utmost verge. Their game
was to swear in Bypber, Sheldon, and
Pinohback, as being prima facie entitled
to seats, and thus they would hold their
seats until the report of the Committee
on Elections, which they would_ delay un
til probably the end of this session or the
first of the next. This design was
sprung upon the House yesterday by
Butler, and was resisted to-day by Mr.
Beck and Clarkson N. Potter. Mr. Beck
was allowed only ten minutes to speak.

The name of Attorney General Williams

he was not at once confirmed, but that he
will be eventually confirmed is generally
credited.

DAY DISPATCHES.
Bad News from Cuba.
AYabhinoton, December 5.—The State
Department refuses information regard
ing the startling news from Cuba. They
knew nothing at midnight. The Asso
ciated Press reports that Captain-General
Jouvellar has resigned. In explanation,
he says the delivery of the Virginias to
the United States will cause frightful
commotions and catastrophes throughout
the island, where compl te order now
prevails.
Meantime the volunteers, by private
means, are buying war vessels.
The Vox de Cuba declares that Senor
Soloer, Minister of the Interior, has for
warded his resignation. The volunteers
would consent to placing the Virginius in
the hands of a neutral power for arbitra
tion, but will not let her come directly ton
United States port. The authorities
canuot count on the support of the people
in carrying out the protocol.
Tbe Dons Spoiling for a Fight.
Ket A Vest, December 5.—La Cronista.
of Havana, says the time has come for
all true Spaniards to prepare to fight.
They will conquer or die. True Span
iards will refuso obedience to the home
government for the restoration of embar
goed property to Americans.
La Cronista advises readiness by land
and sea for a fight. All mates between
fourteen and forty must be enrolled, and
all traitors and tiberants (abolitionists)
expelled.
The article concludes with a challenge
to the American people to fight.
The Ossippee and monitor Mohopac

abouts is unknown.
Propellars Caldwell and Montgomery,
besides many other crafts, were blown
across, the river sustaining more or less
damage.
No Accident on the B. & 0. Ballroad.
Baltimore, December 5.—Thero is not
the slightest foundation for the dispatch
sent from Trenton that a freight train
ran off tho track of tho Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, nino miles from this city,
smashing ten freight cars, destroying fifty
thousand dollars’ worth of property, and
delaying tho trains between New Tork
anil-AVashington last night. Tho officers

London, December 5.—Tho London
Times publishes an official list tf British
subject-; taken prisoners on the steamer

Washington, December 5.—No session
of the Senate was held.
the npusE.
A number of bills were introduced,
among them, ono abolishing tho tax on
tobacco, snuIF and cigars, one providing
for letter carriers for citie* of 10,000 in
habitants, one to complete the James
River and Kanawaha canal by Long-
bridge of Iowa.
The bill, which passed the Senate, re
deeming tho loon of 1858, after quite a
sharp discussion whether it should bo
paid in gold or legal tenders, the Demo
crats arguing for legal tenders, waa re
ferred to the Committed on W*ys and
Means. I\ was pnt on its passage by Mr.
Dawes, who argued they should be paid
in the currency of the world.
Rainey, of South Carolina# (colored),
offered a resolution abolishing the Com
mittee on Freedmeu's Affairs. Referred
to the Committee on Roles.
The nomination of Judge Williams as
Chief Justice, was referred to the Com
mittee on tho Jndiciazy.
This was contrary to the usual custom
of the Senate with regard to Senators
and ex-Senators, whose nominations es
cape committee investigations.
The Senate elected Rev. Byron D. Sun
derland chaplain.
The Louisiana Case.
The committee will take up the Louis
iana case on Monday. Partisans are
very busy.
Senator Morton to-night sent for coun
selors Billings and Dibble. After the
interview the two gentlemen went in
search of Judge Durant, who, it is sup
posed, they retained in Pinohback’s in
terest. They also consulted Schurz, who
consoled them with the remark that there
would be twenty speeches in the Senate
before there would be any definite ac
tion. The hopes of either of the ^spi
rants will be long deferred.
Cuban Affairs.
Nothing definite can be obtained here
regarding Cuban affairs. Fish and Polo
are equally reticent.
The absence of American vessels from
the port of Havana is part of the pro
gramme. Their presence there under the
circumstances, would have been consid
ered a menace. Our Government will not
consent to the delivery of the Virginius
to a neutral power; but will consent to
receive her on the high seas. The ad
ministration seems inclined to deal very
gently and avoid hostilities if possible.
They claim that silence regarding the de
tails is prudential. The administra
tion will not adopt harsh measures to en
force the protocol without Congressional
sanction.
The following shows the chairmen of
the committees of the House and the
Southern members thereon:
Ways and Mean.! — Dawes, Sheldon

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES.
Further About Cuban Affairs.
Washington, December 5.—There is
no excitement in any quarter concerning
the. Virginius question, although some
curiosity is expressed to learn tho actual
state of affairs at Havana, it being sup
posed the censorship at that city, deprives
the telegrams sent to the “fruited States
of somo of their mo,re interesting features.
The ofiichU advices are withheld from the
Public far. prudential considerations,
it is said they contain nothing
of marked importance. 0
The Cabinet to-day talked over the sit
uation, but nothing was done changing
the position of affairs. The delay in the
delivery of the Virginius occasions much
disappointment, but this ia not believed
to be the fault of the Madrid Govern
ment. The embarrassments su^undrng
the matter aro appreciated, ud, there
fore, without formal prolongation of time,
the administration will wait until tho do-
livera can be effected in a way that will
give least'ouenco to Spanish pride.
It is believed from what has been pri
vately sjfrd in Q%ial quarters, that it was
not agreed between Secretary Fish and
Admiral Polo, that the Virginius should
be surrendered at the port of Havana;
but that tho vessel should bo taken from
the harbor and carried beyond its juris
diction and then delivered to such United
States yessel as might bo sent to receive
it, preparation being made to give timely
notice of the transfer. It is considered
that this course would give leas occasion
for offence than if ono or more of our
ships should go directly to Havana for
that purpose.
Our Government leaves to Spain the
fulfillment of its obligations, but if this
should prove impracticable, the facts will
be reported to Congress for its action*
Frontier Defense.
Senator Hamilton and the Texas repre-
Congress have had a satis
factory interview with tho Secretary of
War and the Secretary of the Interior,
relative to frontier defense, and havo re
ceived their assurances of co-operation in
the establishment of a line of posts and
telegraphic communication from tho Rio
Grande to Red river.

Col. John G. Stokes, of Alabama, has
been appointed Clerk of the Committee
