One of the boys namod Haley was arrested on a warrant charging him with involuntary manslaughter. The Augusta Chronicle reports these among its Christmas casual ties. Reports are rife at Washington that the retirement of Attorney General Williams from the Cabinet was not caused by his extravagant use of the public thonef, or by hts excesses in the execution of the ower of his office, but by the olrcu jon of “scandalous letters” which o |e his association undesirable to nat Cabinet officers- The exact not 1 of t!le scandalous letters is M Sl ed, but it is suspected that wrii-i ''hams had a hand in the Ports”?! v some of them. These re onu , hope are, sen sational on. TilH CIiBAN-HPAXMH |I EMTIO*. The reports which wo published yesterday of a contemplated Euro pean intervention In the struggle going on in Cuba between Spain aud her "rebels,” receive some confirma tion from that portion of President Grant’s late messago in which ho in formed Congress that he might soon recommend some action on the sub ject. His withholding of the recom mendation for a time may certainly be reasonably regurded as indicative of important pending negotiations; because the truo situation of affuirs on the itduud and the exact nature of the demands of our Administration were just as well understood at the timo when tho messago was written as they uro'now or can be at any time in the early future. If the reports of the contemplated Intervention of European powers be correct, the question of immediate interest to us is whether it is to be undertaken in connection wither in dependently of the United States. Unless Gen. Grant has wholly repu diated the famous "Monroe doctrine,” the United States can hardly join European powers in such au inter vention, because it would be the most direct and positive recognition of their right to interfere. It would be very inconsistent and absurd for the United States, while denying to Eu ropean powers tho right to interfere in the political affuirs of States or oolonies ou this side of the Atlantic, to join them in such interference. It would bo equally inconsistent in the Republican party of the United States to abandon the “Monroe doc trine” now, while boasting that their triumph in our late civil war hast ened the inglorious exit of the French from Mexico. .We therefore uttterly reject tho New York Herald’s sug gestion or iDferenoe that tho Presi dent of the Unitod States was ar ranging with European powers for such a joiut intervention. We assume, then, that if the re ports of concerted European inter vention bo true (and we are by no means convinoed that they are), they must mean intervention without the concurrence and against tho policy of tho Administration at Washing ton. This would involve us in a se rious difficulty. If the party in power in this country were to acquiesce in such an intervention, they wduld re move the barriers to similar aggres sions for any cause and upon any oc casion. Thereafter tho “Monroe doc trine” would be an exploded bugbear, and the “American policy” would be a vaiuglorious boast of the past. We must meet tho issue, against united Europe if need be, or acknowledge a square “back down.” Equally fallacious do we regard tho statement that this European inter vention fit undertaken at all; will be “to save tho cultivated parts of the island from greater devastation aud prevont the further demoralization of sugar proifuctive industry.” Much ns the potentates of Europe may like sugar, they have no such peculiar interest in the culture or sugar in Cuba as to impel them to risk a great war for the pur pose of promoting it. Tho other sugar regions of the world are open and equally accessible to them, and if they should restore sugar culture in Cuba to its former proportions, thoy would not thereby reduce the price of tho staple half a cent per pound in Europe. If they really ser iously contemplate intervention in Cuba, it must be because they appre hend early intervention by the United States and want to prevent it. They may think that the time and the oc casion have come for them to bid de llanoo to our “Monroe doctrine” and at the sumo timo to preserve to a Europoan monarchy its American possessions. While arranging the “balance of power” between them selves in Europe, they may think it behooves them to see that they aro not all ovorbulauood by the great aud growing power of tho United States. That is briefly our theory of tho meaning of this threatened Eu ropean intervention, if it really is contemplated: and if wo are right, it comprehends a serious Issue for us. But wo doubt the whole story. I*. B.—Since the above was written we have received the Vienna dis patch—which appears to be more circumstantial, and therefore prob ably more correct than the others — announcing that our Administration has been asking the acquiescence or co-operation of the European powers in an American intervention in Cuba. This appears to us to be little better that a joint copartnership in the job, and therefore a great modification or relaxation of the “Monroe doctrine.” In Hindoo districts, the Brahmins, for a consideration, promise the peo ple immunity from smnli-pox. At one place an ingenious ohamar, hav ing found out a strango oval-shaped hole in a rook, gave out that all those who ikissed through tho hole would escape small-pox. People came with their offerings, and at last the Tha kur of Marwar brought his child to ■pass through the rock. As some peo ple who were actually suffering with small-pox had been through, it is not strango that the child caught the dis ease, Tho Thakur was so angry that he had the ohamar seized: but tho ohamar was equal to the occa sion. aud declared that the child was bewitched by a village woman. She was therefore burnt with hot copper pice till the authorites interfered. The people still believe in the power of the chamar aud in his story about tho witch. Thomaaton Herald: During court last week quite an amusing incident occurred between Judge Wright and a delinquent juror, as follows: Judge—Mr. Juror, what made you so late coming into court? Juror—Well, sir, I was engaged in making a settlement, and, tunes be ing so hard, I thought I would wait and make the settlement In order that I might get a few dollars. Judge—Divide the money with the county, Mr. Juror. Juror—l didn’t get the money, I come out in debt to the other fellow. The Judge was so completely out witted that he ordered the juror to take his seat and sin no more. THE TIMES: THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 30, 1875 AI.ABAMA LEeWUTIIRK. This body met at Montgomery on Tuesday-twenty Senators aud sixty three Hepresentatives appearing, making a quorum in botli branches. The organization was effected at the previous session, and the officers then elected took their places. The Governor’s messago was transmitted, and we copy a synopsis of it from the Montgomery Advertiser. Botli houses adopted a resolution to elect Solicitors for the various Judicial Circuits on Tuesday next. There are many candidates in all the Circuits, and the Advertiser names those from tho two nearest to us as follows: Eighth Circuit.-A. V. Leo, of Bar bour; F. Law, of Bullock; A. N. Worthy, W. H. Parks and J. MoC. Wiley, of Pike. Ninth Circuit.—J. B. McDonald, J. F. Waddell and J. 11. Mitchell, or Rus sel 1; A. L. Brooks, 0. A. Battle and J. A. Bilbro, of Macon ; L. R. Dow dell and G. P. Harrison, of Loo; J. M. Richurds, of Chambers, and F. L. Smith, of Tallapoosa. The House ordered the appoint ment of a special committee of nine to consider what legislation, if any, is rendered necessary by tho now Constitution of the State of Alabama, and report by bill, or bills, or other wise. Ex-Gov. Seymour, of New York, has written a letter advocating an increase of the number of members of the Legislature of that State. He thinks that in a larger body tho rep resentatives would better understand the wants of their constituents than in the present Legislature, and that a large number could not so easily be corrupted as a small one. The present Legislature of New York, containing (we believe) only 133 members in botli brandies, Is as much too small as that of Georgia is too large. The 133 legislators of Now York represent over four mil lions of people; the 215 or 220 legisla tors of Georgia represent only a little over ono million of Inhabitants. We believe that the General Assembly of Georgia, though not quite so large as that of Massachusetts, cost ordinari ly more than the Legislature of any other State. We cun effect a great public retrenchment by reducing the number of counties and of Represen tatives. The rapid diminution of the supply of fish in the salt waters of California is commented on by tho press of that State. Two causes aro assigned for it, and both are ourious. Tho Fish Commissioners of the State think that the seals and sea-lions devour so largo a quantity (estimated at 73,000,- 000 of pounds) as to destroy greater numbers than tho iucreuse, and they recommend tho repeal of the laws for the protection of theso amphibia. On tho other hand, some of th® pa pers contend that the decrease is traceable to the Chinese mode of seining. They say that the Chinese use very fine sdns, which catch both the large flsh and great numbers of the young, and that tho latter are thrown upon the beach where they perish. A great deal of mischief is charged upon John Chinaman in California—some times more than ho is really guilty of. But if he is exterminating the flsh in this way, he ought to bo dis ciplined. In speaking of the appointment of Col. John H. Fisher as receiver of the Air-Line Railroad Company, the Charlotte Observer says: “Our peo ple havo little acquaintance with Mr. Fisher, but our impressions of him are that he will manuge tho road in the interest of the people as much as possible consistently with tho interests of the bondholders, of which class he is the representa tive.” HE WAS THE MAN. DROWNED BY THE CAPTAIN OF THE FOR TUNE IN A STORM ON LAKE ERIE. From the Detroit Free Press.] One evening last week, when the winter blasts moaned sadly around the street corners, and tho captains of the ferry boats wore anxious looks, seveu or eight vessel owners aud “laid up” lake captains sat around a cheerful base-burner in a saloou near tho river. After the usual amount of growling about tho weather, ouo of them told a story. Then a second man told a story to beat it, and then a third man beat the second. When the fourth man started out ho said : “Gentleinon, I havo also seontougli times. When I was sailing the schooner Fortune,forty years ugo,two of us were swept overboard in a storm on Lake Erie, ono black night. A hatch cover weut. with us, and it so happened that we both clutched it. It was not largo enough to support two. I was captain, he a sailor. I had a family, he had none. I shouted to him to quit His hold, and when lie would,not,l reached over,clutched his throat, and held ou till his lingers loosened and ho went to the bottom of the lake! It was twenty miles off Point Betsey, and, with a shrill, wild shriek, which yet Ungers in ray oars, the poor wretch went to his death! May the Lord for give me!” With his chair tilted against the wall, a lanky, sunflowonsh chan had been nodding his head right and left, as if sleeping. As the Captain’s nar rative was concluded, the stranger rose up aud solemnly said : “I am that man!” The crowd looked at him in aston ishment, and he continued: “I landed on Point Betsey next morning in time for breakfast, and I swore a solemn oath that I’d lick you for choking me if I had to live a hundred years to do it!” “You can’t be the man,” replied the Captain, looking suspiciously at the fellow’s big fists; “it was forty years ago.” “I know it was, and for forty years I’ve been aching to lick you out of your boots.” The Captain had lied, but he didn’t want to own it, and he said: “That sailor’s name was Dick Rice.” “Kereet!” bowed the stranger; “that’s my name!” “But he was taller than you.” “Being in the water so’ tong that night I shrunk just a foot!” was the cool rejoinder. “Well, I know you can’t be the man,” said the Captain. "lam the man, and now I’m go ing to maul you! No man can choke me and then brag about it!” He sailed in and upset the Captain, but was then set upon by the whole crowd. He got into the eye of tho wind and hung there for a time, but 1 presently lie paid off a little, got the wind on his quarter, and went at it to lick ten times his weight In old liars. Ho was a very ambitious man, and those who could get out doors got out, and those who couldn’t of fered him a gallon of whiskey to come to anchor., He furled his sails on this understanding, and as he set Ids glass down for the third drink he wiped his bleeding ear and remarked : “When a man tries to sacrifice me in order to save himself ho don’t know who he’s fooling with!” He *was the biggest liar of them all, but he made the most out of it. THE TKEAMEBV TUOt HLEM. RUMORED INTENTION OF THE GOVERNOR TO PROCEED IN THE COURTS. There is a well-defined rumor pre vailing in high circles that Governor Smith has fully made up his inten tions with reference to the troubles connected with the late administra tion of the State Treasury. Suits against the sureties upon the bonds of ox-Treasurer Jones, it is said will be instituted at an early day, and doubtless before the Legislature assembles. It is understood that ull the necessary data and facts are be ing arranged for the attorney, who may represent the State, and that, all those named upon the bonds will be included in the suit. Tho first step will probably be to demand the amount claimed to be due the State from the ex-Treosurer, which will of course be refused upon the plea of the said ex-Treasurer that such amounts are not due. Then the suits will follow. Grant and Nutting promise to be the defendants in the most interest ing suit. They claim that they were only temporary bondsmen, aud that therefore the tilling of the second bond discharged them from all obli gations. The Governor insists that no notice of this was given at the proper timo or to the proper .officers, aud that they are bound for the full amount of tbq bond. This questton of liability will be the main issue, and promises to be hotly contested. It is said that Grant and Nutting hold a letter from ex- Treasurer Jones, in which the latter admits to them the fact that they wore only to bo deemed his tempor ary bondsmen. The reader will readily seo the point in all these matters by remem bering that, by the tax digest show ing, the second bond was $70,000 short of tho required amount. The Governor is extremely reticent upon these matters and refuses to say yea or nay to any inquiries, but we deem the fact, that suits will soon be instituted against the sureties to be beyond perudventure.—Atlanta Constitution, 28th. Senator Morton’s attempt to unfurl the bloody shirt again aud to get the crank back on the dilapidated old outrage mill does not create much of a sensation. He gets very little sup port from any quarter. Even so firm a journal as the Boston Advertiser remonstrates with him as follows: “Tho Senate is threatened with a long debate on the politics of Missis sippi, if Senator Morton presses hi3 motion to a vote. It seems as if the time had come when Cangress could afford to leave the States to settle their internal affairs in their own way. If there was fraudulent voting in Mississippi, of which there is strong presumptive proof, the courts in that State are the proper tribunals to hear and pass upon the evidence. “Senator Morton appeals to the precedents, of which there are, un happily, too many. For ut least eight years Congress lias assumed author ity to interfere, upon one pretext or another, so tiiat parties have been kept in a wholly unuatural condition, taking underhanded advantage of one another, assured that if any mis chief resulted tho General Govern ment would get them out of difficul ty. Setting tho constitutional hear ings of tho subject altogether aside, the practice is bad for the Govern ment and demoralizing to the people.
