Tss Vrr-tx m Hava..—The World nays that it is universally conceded in Xew Tork that the Yille du Havre wo. one of the best officered and best appoint ed steamship, which ever sailed out of that harbor. The Loch Earn, which run into her, are. a Glasgow iron built ship of 1,300 ton.—ship rigged and probably sailing in ballast — consigned to Hender son Brothers, New York. The New York priigs item to blame nobody for the ter rible collision. It occurred at two o'clock i. the morning, in a thick fog and dark ness, and probably before either ship could discern the other they were ao near CoBlsct that prevention was impossible. of fighting to tbe death. Their home organ, I-a Cronist*, considered a respon sible and authorized spokesman, throws down the gauntlet and boldly challenge, tbe American people to arm& 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 tho march of ideas (John Brown*, march) which have doom* 1 slavery in Christen dom." Tha party of usurpation and treason to the homo government, and the champions of tyranny, violence and ob struction. The President and Cabinet, anticipating just this and no other event, pitchod the hymn of John Brown*, body In an ranee as tbo key note of a second war for tbe abolition of slavery, and to stir up th, lulling" fanaticism of “high moral ideaa” And that provision of tho protocol de manding the immediate aurrender of tbe Virginia. »ny way. was, most probably, intended to inflame the Caban red- brooches to their present pitch of mad- No one can read the protocol with out being struck by it. illogical and 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 b) feturp her F Why not, then, have left all thus* matters of reparation depend ent on, and subsequent to, the decision of the point as to whether the Virginius was entitled to American protection ? 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. The “Valley of Diamonds” for Juveniles. The story of this fabulous vale spark ling with gems and precious stones of priceless value, which lay strown upon the earth lifce rocks and pebbles, is famil iar to all. But wo doubt very much if those brilliant treasures in vii their tempt ing array, could afford half tho enjoymegt to our children imparted l y the content, of the store of Mesas. Brown & Co. Here, Santa Claus, the j )lly divinity of the little ones, has undoubtedly estab lished his headquarters, ind trip after trip with his capacious bag must he moke from this precious repository, to the chimney tops of Jbo city, whilst dispens- j ing his favors to the expectant children belo' 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 ness of their offspring they will wholly ignore the present; and secondly, by sell ing at prices so preposterously low, that panic or no panic—all are compelled to pcrchoM. and feel happier and richer with every dollar they spend. We shall not attonpt any enumeration of tbe books, fancy articles, beautiful pictures, .musing games, ingenious puz zle., and tbe mnltittide of attractive ob jects for sale by Brown A Co. This would take off the edge of your interest and curiosity. Call and see in person, and stand not on the order of your going. Time i. precious, and you must act promptly ere old Santa Claus manages to bag th doubt that they will make a desperate effort to escape judicial surveillance in the winding up of their affairs by the in tervention of Congren. It i» by no means improbable that they will not be succeasfnl either. 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. THE GEORGIA PRESS. Mumciroi. elections are the order of the month in this State. Augusta, Grif fin and Albany have just passed through the agony. At the first named city there was only one ticket, headed by Mayor Es tes, who was re-elected, and pretty much the old Board of Aldermen; at Griffin A. D. Nunnally heat J. D.

The following items are from the Co lumbus Son of Thursday: 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. This looks bad for one of (he best coun ties in Georgia. J. Rhodes Bbows, late manager of the Eagle and Phcnix Company, of Colum bus, baa recovered, in Muscogee Superior Court, $4930, with interest from June 2, 18G8, from that company, as compensa tion for his services in that capacity. The Augusta and Savannah railroad has declared a semi-annual dividend of three dollars and a half per share. The Brukswtci amd Aj.ha.st Mud dle.—Under thia head the Albany Nows •y»: The court at Brunswick last week un dertook to divido out fhe $150,000 pud in by the purehasejs, and to giye proper di rection to the remaining $880,000 of the purchase money; but numerous old chums and some new ones were present ed, that muddle the whole affair again, and chaos still enshrouds the enterprise. Mr. Soloxox Holly and Miss Susan Rosier were married in Allen’s bar-room at Ellaville, on the 2Gth nit., by Squire Morgan. The Squire never married but one couple before, and the knot on that occasion was tied in a graveyard. A tear or two ago, says tho Dalton Citizen, the rush of emigrants from this section to Texas and Arkansas wps very it. We understand that several fam- Fiitt-two adherents, and among them the Vice President of tho late Confeder acy, occupy seats in the House of the Forty-thi-'d Congress.

Of course pot* Tho history of civiliza tion show, no instenci) pf inch "clem ency,” Perhaps thp .“clemency” of England to Ireland comes nearest it, but then the English did not put the intelligence, respectability, and prop erty of Ireland under the heals and at tho mercy of the ignorance and brutality of that country and keep it there by tbo argument of bayonets. No thanks to yon and yours that those "fifty-two adhe rents” occupy seats in the House. Tou did your beat to keep them out, and send in their stead black barbarians or white scoundrels, whose only qualifications were a fealty to yonr party and an unlimited capacity for all sorts of roguery, from stealing a hog to plundering a treasury— from stuffing * ballot-box to capturing a State government- W* 3 won’t forget yonr "clemency” in a burry. Be sure of that- THE HANGING OF MBS. SUBBATT, Jud^e Holt's Reply to Andrew John, son—“A Humiliating Event In Our History. 1 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 great, vye understand that several fam 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- gard's, in Baker county, was literally cut to pieces by a desperate negro with a knife. IVe have not been able to obtain the particulars of the fight, but learn that the assault and cutting was fiendish and brutal. Mr. Strange is said to be a clever citizen. He was not expected to recover from his wounds. The negro was ar rested and pu£ in jaih bat not until, he had been shot twice ip resisting tlTe ar rest. ■_ _ 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 hanging of Mrs- Surratt. It would be j tons—making her the largest mer- secn by reference to Gen. Ekin'• apd Gen. Muxzv's letters, that the statements were expressed bv Mr. Johnson himself that ho a A A 1 _An UvnAtlfil 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.

He will be seated to morrow. Pinchback is claiming both a seat as United States Senator and a seat as a member of the House; but the idea of the Eadieal leaders is to seat him in the House The reason of tins is that Pinchback is an impudent, loquacious and irrepressible mulatto, who if in the Senate will be bouncing up on all occa sions, and illustrating by day and by hour the beautiful idea of negro equality. The Radical Senators, with all their cant, don’t want hi™ there.

The name of Attorney General Williams for the Chief Justiceship went into the Senate to-day, and creates a marked dis gust among the Senate lawyers on both sides. He is not regarded by some as qualified. So strong is this feeling that he was not at once confirmed, but that he will be eventually confirmed is generally credited. SOCIAL EQUALITT.

Dr. Sykes, contestant for the seat of Mr. Spencer, carpet-bag Senator from Alabama, has reached here to present his proofs of election. He will not be admit ted, no matter what he proves. 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 arrived in nino days from Fortress Mon roe. Eighty-tliree more naval recruits arrived from New Orleans to-night. Tho Gale In Detroit. Chicaoo, December 5.—Tho gale of AYeduesday night caused considerable damage in Detriot. One hundred feet of brick wall qf the New Michigan Central Car Works was predated and the whole roof blown off. The iron roof of the Central freight de pot was blown into the river. Steamer Burnside was blown against steamer llockinaw, damaging her to tho extent of $4,000. Steamer Keweenaw was blown up the river a mile and a half and beached. Two tugs were lost and their where 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 of the company state that there was no accident or delay of any kind whatever to any of their train) yesterday between AYashington City and New York. NaTy Yards ActiTC. Boston, December 5.—Naval prepara tions aro pushing in the Charlestown yard. The Brooklyn is ordered to bo ready for sea in twelve days. 4 Storm in tbo West.

New York, December 5.—The Bremen, hence yesterday, returned wity six feet of water in her hold. The lionJon Times on the Virginius Seizure* London, December 5.—Tho London Times publishes an official list tf British subject-; taken prisoners on the steamer Virginias and executed. The Times com menting on the list says tho British Got- eminent, while demanding tho surrender of the Burrivora must carefully avoid committing itself to tho proposition that the siezure of the Virginius wa3 illegal. Barmbardmcnt of Cartagena. A Spanish special says tho bombard ment of Cartagena has proved a failure and a regular siege is now intended. French Government Sustained. Paeis, December 5.—In tbe Assembly a motion was introduced by the Left to censure tho Government for continuing tho state of siege. It was voted down by 407 to 273. Factory Burned. London, December 5.—A factory ' at Halifax was burned; loss $150,000. Tho falling walls killed three persons. NIGHT DISPATCHES. Congressional, 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 Deutschland will take tho passen gers of the crippled steamship Bremep. The leak was discovered QAO hundred and fifty miles ou|. Postal Cards Damaged. Springfield, December 5.—A fire in tho neighborhood caused tho damage of three million of postal cards by water. 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. Appointment. Col. John G. Stokes, of Alabama, has been appointed Clerk of the Committee of Agriculture. Direct Connection Betireen Charles ton and Chicago. Charleston, December 6.—Extensive preparations are making for the recep tion of the Railroad Convention which meets in the interest of direct railway connection between Chicago and Charles ton. Strong delegates are expected from Chicago and various other points along the proposed route, and the Sputh Caro lina railroad and New York and Charles ton steamship lino will pass delegates free.
