LONDON, November 21_According to the latest returns received up to this hour 478 mem? bers of tho House of Commons have been elected, of whom 310 are Liberals and 168 are ** Conservatives. It is stated that Stanley concedes that the Alabama Claims Commission shall sit in Wash? ington. Disraeli made a speech to-day to his con? stituents at. Aylesbury. After expressing his acknowledgments for their unanimty in re tura iog bim to the House of Commons, he proceed? ed to review and justify the action of the Con? servative party on the Reform question. He then defended the government from the charge of extravagance. The expenditures were large, but the government could not be conducted cheaply; and he maintained that the finan? cial management of the ministry had been in??overy sense economical. He advocated the extension of education, and favored the crea? tion of a department of public instruction, with a Cabinet minister at its head. He insis? ted, however, that neither a compulsory edu? cational system nor the imposition of a new tax for educational purposes were in accordance with tl.e opinion of the country. He then con? trasted the foreign policy of the preceding year with that of the presont ministry. He said the relations which now exist with loreign powers are those of confidence and sympathy, and all the disagree? ments with the United States are now re? moved. He concluded with a discussion of tho Irish question. The resolutions for a dises? tablishment of the Irish Church, introduced by the leader of the opposition, could not miti? gate the evils of Fenianism. The troubles Of Ireland were greatly exaggerated. Ireland had really progressed within the last twenty years more than England.. The proposed dis estab? lishment was dangerous to the rights of \ rop erty. It would only serve to increase the dis? content of the Irish people, while at the same time it would be sure to sever the connection between the State and religious principles.

INTERESTING CEREMONIES. Address of Past Master C. E. Chichester. On Saturday afternoon, an extra communi? cation of Pyihagorian Lodg?, No. 21, was held at Masonic Kail, at 5 P. M., in order to take leave of tboir Worshipful Master, C. E. Chi? chester, who leaves Charleston this afternoon, to enter into business in St. Louis. Tbe Lodge room was crowded with the members of this Lodge, and also of Delta Lodge of Per? fection of tho Ancient Scottish Rite, of which Brother Chichester was also Master, and which thus united with Pythagorean Lodge in a farewell meeting. A large number of visit? ing brethren were present, among whom we noticed Brother P. G. M. Henry Buist ; R. S. Bruns, Grand Secretary ; Brother Paddon, W. M. Tyre Lodge; Brother A. T. Smythe, W. M. Strict Observance Lodge; Brother Styles, P. M. Franklin Lodge; Brother Bartlett, P.M. Pythagorean Lodge; Brother Levin, W. M. Friendship Lodge, and many others. The Lodge having been duly opened, Brother Chichester arose and said : My Beloved Brethren-1 have called to? gether this Lodge in extra communication this evening for the purpose of saying to you but one word; a word easily pronounced and often uttered by us all, but which I find to be the most difficult word to utter, upon this occa? sion, in the entire vocabulary of tho English language. That word ia, "farewell." In tho providence of the Almighty Ruler of Ibo Uni? verse, circumstances beyond my control com? pel me to leave this our beloved City by the Sea, and seek another home among strangers a stranger in a Btrange land. This parting from this Lodge is to me an unusually sad and sorrowful one. Within this Lodge I received my new biri h into Masonry; in this Lodge 1 beheld my first Masonic light; in this Lodge I have enjoyed sweet communion with you all, have shared your joys and your sorrows, have labored with you in its upbuilding to its pre? sent enviable position, and in this Lodge I have received all the honors it ?vas in your power to boBtow upon me, e-.cn to tho distin? guished honor and pleasure of presiding over its eh bera tiona, during the past Masonic year, as its Worshipful Master. I had looked for? ward in the f atoro to many years of iiappy and pleasant intercourse among you, and had hoped Ion? to labor in tho interests of this our beloved Lodge-but all my bright antici? pations are destined to be unfulfilled. In parting from yon, my beloved brethren, at this time, so much do I feel tho separation, I and so deeply are tho innermost recesses of my ? heart stirred, that I cannot find words to ex? press myself, and my fooling completely over po * ors me. I would you "could see into my soul, you would find it torn, and lacerated, an i bleeding with anguish. You would find such deep emotion as can only find relief in tears, unmanly though they may seem, and, I feel assured, that if I wore to give way to the feel? ings which now crowd my breast, you would blush for the unmanliness of your Master. It has beon my privilege to form many dear and intimate associations in Charleston, from whom 1 find it moat difficult to part, yet the separation from all of them combined is as nothing compared with the pong I teel in se? parating from yon. I have comrades in this community who shared with mo many perils, and you who have stood shoulder to shoul? der tn hours of imminent danger, with death on all Bides, know what a strong feeling of attachment bound you to thc comrades who shared tbe dangers with you, and how you have felt that gladly would you sacrifice your own life could it but sparc your comrade. From all these I can part. Other associates and friends I have in the bnsinsss marts and in tho social circle, from whom I can also part; but from the Brother? hood of this, our cherished Lodge, I feel as though I could not separate. And yet it must be so. Tho word must be spoken, the hand must be grasped tor the last time, and I must tear myself away from you all, probably never to look into your faces again-never moro to enjoy sweet communion with you. Our courses in life must hereafter widely divorgo, and while you Btill continue from month to month to meet together and enjoy each other's society, I shall be far away iu my Western home. Let me make of you, my dear brethren of Pythagorean Lodge, but one request, and I sholl feel somewhat reconciled to my lot. Bo not forget me. Rest assured that tho oaunte nauce of every individual member of this Lodge is indellibly and mcffacoably engraved on my heart, and often shall 1 dwell with fond re? membrance upon the many happy hours wo have hero enjoyed. And ob, how pleasant it will be to havo the assurance that you, mv brethren, aro sometimes thinking of me. Io feol that my name is moiitioued among you when you meet togethor. I would that I could convey to you thc lovo and affection I feel towards "you, "and DCUOVC me when I say that it is dooper and more ardont than that to many of my own kindred. Thc pecu? liar circumstances ol'past years have alienated from mo those of my o wu flesh and blood, but their places have been filled by you, my Ma? sonic brtttiren, and I could at tnis mooioiit part with tm ni far easier than I can with you, ?tions; and unnatural as thc assertion inay appoar. This parting from you, ead as it is, serves, however, to show forth most beautifully and emphatically, tho beauties of our blessed Order. Where is there another human organ? ization that can bind man to man and broti>?r to brother like Masonry ? How often have \ heard the invocation : "Let brot' _.iy love pre va?, and every moral and social virtue cement us." And, truly, here brotherly love has pre? vailed, and here virtue has cemented us. And now, my beloved brethren of Pythago? rean Lodge, lot me. m parting with you, urge ?ou to rene wed zeal and ardor in tho cause of [asonry. Do not weary in well-doing. Per? form punctually and promptly'every duty which may devolve upon Vou. But above all, ever practice Charily. To relieve the distrossod, and to aid the widow and fatherless, should bo your constant end and aim. I shall watcn this Lodge from my distant home with a jealous eye, and my best wishes will ever attend its prosperity. To you, my brethren of Delta Lodge, of tho A.*. A.*. S.\ it.-, permit me also to express my warmest wishes. Labor on vigorously and untiringly in your efforts to buila up Scottish Site Masonry in this city. The noble lessons which it inculcates, and the beautiful ceremo? nies connected with it, should aud must ere long commend themselves to tho attention of every Mason who lovos Masonry for itself aud who aspires to become a perfect Mason. Bo not discouraged by the seeming difficulties which environ you, but press on, labor on and ou will succeed. And lot mc here remind the retbrcn assembled, that Scottish Kites Ma? sonry is in no way antagonistic to Masonry of of tho York Rito. They are ono and "tho same ; they go hand in hand together, aud uhould always BO exist. In parting with you, I am separating from many whom I* love and esteem; many who havo labor? ed with mo iu esta dishing Scottish Rite Masonry in our midst; many who have faith? fully held up my hands and aided mo by their presence and advice. My interest iu tho wel? fare of your Lodge is vory great, and I shall look with deop anxiety upon youi labors, aud wish you every success. Often shall I look back upon tho many hours wo have spent to? gether, and long for an opportunity to again unite with you in tue ceremonies of tho Rite. To you, visiting brethren of sister Lodges, who have so kindly favored us with your pre? sence this evening, permit me to express my thanks fur the luterest you have mauifested in my behalt by your presence hero this evening, and allow me, iu parting, to urge you to labor mere energetically and untiringly in the future, in yent various Lodges, than you have ever done in tho past, and let yonr constant end i aim be to build up and strengthen tho Orde: thia city, until it spreads its divine ogia o all worthy persons. And finally, brethren of Pythagorean Lod to you I turn again and address you my 1 parting words. May tho Grand Architect tho Universe keep you always under his soe; care; may you constantly increase in Fai Hope and* Charity, but more especially in tl charity, which is "the bond or peace; and n you always eo Uve and so act as to prepare j for an entrance into that dwelling not mi with hands, eternal in the heavens. I can only say to ytu |as my parting wor in the language of that illustrious brotl Mason, Scotia's bard : Adieu I a heart-warm fond odien I Dear brothers of the my=ti ? tie 1 Ye favor'd, ye eulighten'd few, Companion? of my social joy ! Tho' I to foreign lands must hip, Pursuing fortune's slip'ry ba'. With melting heart and brimful eye, I'll mind you still, tho' far awa. Oft h've I met your social band.

Unite you in the grand deeisn, Beneath the omniscient Eve above, The glorious Architect divine I That you may keep th' unerring line, Still rkritg bv the plummet's law, Till order bright completely shine. Shall be my prayer when far awa. * * r * * A last request, permit me herr. Wheu yearly ye assemble a", One r.und, I ass it with a tear, To him-the bard that's iar awa 1 It was then moved that Brother Glichest vacate the chair, and that Brother P. G. V Henry Buist be called to preside, which beir carried, Brother Buist took the chair, who Brother F. Horsey, S. W., arose, and after few pertinent remarks, introduced the follov ing preamble and resolutions : W/iereas, Our W. M. Brother C. E. Chichei ter has announced to this Lodge his intentio of removing at an earlv day from our midst t a distant jurisdiction; bo it Resolved, That wo learn with regret the loe we are called upon to sustain, but trust tho the virtues and accomplishments that have en deared him to us may make him speedily homo and as warm friends among nnr brothre of thc West as he leaves behind in bis mothe Lodge. Resolved, That bis services and example bi ever cherished by us as an incentive to those who shall follow in his footsteps, and that ii bis new sphereof du'y he popseesos our heart wishes for his material prosperity and Masoni progress. Resolved, That a committee of three bo ap pointed to procure a suitable jewel to be pre 8cntcd to our esteemed brother as a slich memorial of our high appreciation of hi character as a man, a Mason and as a Maste of this Worshipful Lodge. Brother Froneberger, P. M. of the Lodgo seconded tho resolutions and spoke with feel? ing and earnestness of tho able and zoaloui manner in which brother Chichester bad per formed bis duties as Master, and the hrs thi Lodgo would sustain in his departure. The resolutions wore then unanimously adopted and ordered to bo spread on the minutes, and the following committee ap pointed : Brother F. Horsey, P. W.; Brother J G. Martin, P. M.; Brother S. E, Welch, 6, D, Brother P, M. Buist thon begged leave tc speak a few words of farewell to their depart? ing brothf-r ; a brother to whoso energy not only thi j Lodge, but also thal Lodge of auothei Rite, which was there BO strongly represented, were so deeply indebted for their present pros? perity. That ho felt they were losing; from their midst ono who had fow, if any, superiors in Masonic skill, and that he only expressed tho sentiments of every individual present, in giving uttoranco to the doep regret they expe? rienced in the loss of one so endeared to thom all. The committee hoing then in readiness to report, Brother Horsoy as chairman, said that the duty which hal bntn assignod them by the Lodgo was to express tho deot of grati? tude they felt to Brother Chichester for tho diligent and faithful performance of the ardu? ous duties of his position during tho past year. That to bim they were indobted for much, very much of their presont prosperity, and that tho Lodge was unwilling that ho should enter a foreign jurisdiction without boaring upon his person some mark of their lovo and esteem. In the namo of tho Lodge ho then presented au exceedingly handsome Past Master's jowcl, and begging Brother Chichet-ler to wear it as an emblem of their regard, concluded by ex? pressing tho regret of tho Lodge at his depar? ture and well wishes for his future. Io a few brief words Brothor Chichoster re? turned his thanks, assuring thom of his appre? ciation of the gift, and that as long as lifo last? ed he would wear and cherish it. The jewel is a very handsome cold Past Mas? ter's jewel, attached to a beautiful collar, hiv? ing on it tho inscription, 'November 2 Ist, 1SJ8. Piosoutcd to Past Master C. li. Chichester by Pythagorean Lodge, No. 21, A. F. M., Charles? ton, t?. C." A committeo of Delta Lodgo of Perfection, consisting of Brothera N. Lovin, Styles and Bedford, then carno forward, when Brothor Lovin, for the committee, road thc following preamble and resolutions : Whereas. Wo have hoard with the sorrow that a great loss ever causes, that our Thrice Puissant Grand Master is about to leave his Masonic station in thc East to better his for? tune in the Wost, ana such Borrow seeks some relief in the acknowledgment of tl ?ligation and of gratitude; be it Resolved, That the heartfelt thanks of Delta Lodgo of Perfection, No. 1, aro hereby rotumed to their Puissant Grand Master C. E. Chiches? ter, for his untiring energy, for the extraordi? nary ability and true Masonic zeal bo has dis? played in the discharge of the duties of his office. Resolved, That Delta Lodge owes to him its ??resent healthy condition, For without him the ife that was communicated would have long since expired. Resolved, That our prayers for his health and prosperity go with bim and his family. May hie gain bo commensurate to our loss. Great indeed will it then be. Resolved, That we elect otu Thrice Puissant Grand Master a lifo-metnbor of this Lodgo of Perfection. Resolved, That a suitable testimonial bo pre? sented to our brother as an expression of our high appreciation, and that a committeo of threo be apnoiutod for tho purpose. Brother Levin thon said : Thria Puissant Brother Chichester-Tho fratifying duty has boon assigned me, by your rcthrcn of Della Lodge of Perfection, No. 1. to present you with a memorial of their regard and esteem, and I am about to discharge that duty with mingled emotions of pleasure aud pain. It is a sourco of much pleasure to mo to bo ptrmittcd to stand iu this prosenco, and tender to you, in behalf of my brethren ol' Delta Lodgo, tho earnest and sincere assurances of thoir high appreciation of tho sciviccs that you have rendered them, and it is proper that I should refer to tho.-.o services. The "Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite," fir.-t established in this city in tho year 17(52, had, by a combination of untoward circum? stance's, fallen into decay; its temple was tu ruins, its altars nero demolished, its vestal fires extinguished, and its beautiful and im? pressive ritual had beconi" a dead language, unknown, except to a privileged few who had received tho highest degrees. With an ardor and zeal only oxceedrd by your intelligence and virtue, you became tho chief builder in rocun stiucting that temple, in rebuilding its altars, and rekiudiing its sacred lires. It lias boen re? built, sir, bv the conception of your wisdom, maintained by the s'.reugtk nf your zeal and en? ergy, aud gracefully adorned "by the beauty of your teachings. You have impressed upon our minds the great importance of cultivating the heart's best affections, and improving and per? fecting them for all the great duties of life, so that we may become bright, intelligent and worthy exemplars in the great cause of human progress and civilization. Is it necessary for me to state why this joyous occasion is marred by emotions of sorrow, pain and rjgret? Look around you, sir, and you will be? hold the countenances of your brethren sad and sorrowful. The3e silent and touching in? dications speak more eloquently than can words from my lips, for they tell you that we have assembled to bid you an affectionate fare? well, and toi wish you u God-speed on your journey. The severance of thc tie of ordinary friendship is painful onough, but when the sacred bond of brotherhood ts broken, around which cluster the hierher, purer and holier sympathies ol our nature, the pane: of sepa? ration is more intense, the feeling of sorrow more poignant. I will not dwell longer upon this sad thorne, but turn to the more pleasant task if begging your acceptance of this slight but sincere testimonial of the love and e. cern, the regard and friendship of your brethren of Delta Lodge. When you shall have roached your future distant home on the banks of tho "Father of Wateie," this simple memorial will speak to you in voiceless but eloquent tones. It will rt- . mind you that your biothrenof the "City by the Sou" (of whom this cane is a significant omblcni, bemg the heart of the palmetto), will ever cherish these feelings for you in their "heart of hearts," and that time cannot efface nor absence diminish them. Allow me, sir, ia conclusion to offer, in your behalf, that great blossiug which tho High Priest of tho Temple invoked for his people. I feel assured that my brethren of York and Scottish Rites will cordially, sarncstly and sin? cerely unite with mo in this sacred invocation. Brother Levin then closed his remarks by re? peating thia blessing in Hebrew and English in au impressive manner. Brother Chichester in reply, in a few flt re? marks promised them that this staff should bc hiB support through life, and should ever be considered by him as a proof of the practical efficacy of the beautiful tenets ol tho order. Brother Bruns, (Jrand H. P. of South Caro? lina, then arose and in tho namo, and as the representative of Royal Aroh llasonry tendered him tho regrets of that Misonry at his de? parture, and their well wishes for his welfare, whilo, at the same time, they could not but deeply deplore the loss his departure would in? flict upon their order. Brother A. T. Smythe than as tho repre? sentative of the Masters aird Masons of tne city, bade him good by and God-speed. The Lodge was then closed in due form and harmony. The stick preseutod by Dalta Lodge is a beautiful specimen of workmanohip. Made out of thc heart of the palmetto, it is orna? mented with a very heavy go!d head, on which is thc following inscription : "Presented to Th. Pt. Gr. Mr. C. E. Chichester, by tho mem? bers of Delta Lodge of Perfection, No. 1, Charleston, So. Ca. Kiesler 7th, 5G29. Nov. 21st, 1868." Tho occasion is one that will be long remem? bered by every Brother whoso good fortune it was to be present. There were many moist eyes, as one after another grasped their dearly loved Master and friend by tho hand and bade him good-by. Brother Chichester may rest assured that he carries with him to his new homo tho well wishes pf every Mason of Charleston. PKESENf ATIOri AT UHION CH A PTE II, At an extra communication of tili? Chapter, hold on yestorday afternoon, tho following resolutions were unanimously adopted : Revolved, That tho members of Union Chnp ter No. 3, R. A. M., exceedingly regret the impovoiished condition of our beloved city, which we presume compels our worthy Com? panion and M. E. H. P., C. <E. Chichester, to seek for moro lucrative employment in the far West. Resolved, That wo still more sincerely regret our loss-but hopo that our loss may bo his gain, und that his success in life may far ex? ceed his most sanguiuo expectations. Resolved, That this Chapter loses the ser? vices of one whom we hive loner known, who has taught us that to know him is to respect and lore him, to pay proper attentiou to our duties, and to admiro our time honored insti? tution. Resolved, That while such is tho ordeal through which we havo to pass, our Chapter not being in a position to make any great dis? play ot its generosity, we most sincerely, and do heartily tender to our M. E. H. P., C. E. Chichester, our heart's best thanks for the past, and our best wishes for tho future, which on our part wo promiso ever to cherish, where over our lot may bo cast, until lifo shall end. The committee then prosouted in a few flt remarks, to Captain Chichester, two very heavy silvor goblets, inscribed as iollows: "Present? ed to P. H. P. C. E. Chichester, by tho mem? bers of Union Chapter, No. 3, R. A. M., Charleston, S. C., November 21, 18G8," as a tes? timonial of tho respect and esteem entertained by tho Chapter for their departing High Priest. Brother Chichester replied in his usual hap? py manner, assuring them that their kindness and friendship should ever bc among his most pleasant recollections of Charleston. THE PARAGUAYAN MUDDLE. Latest Pna.sc ot thc Lopcz-\V?ihbgrn Business. Mr. Washburn, the American Minister at Buenos Ayres, has got his deserts, and his degradation is complete. Benitzo, who, a3 Minister of Foreign Affairs for Lopez conduct? ed tho correspondence with Mr. Washburn, has himself been arrested as a traitor, and Senor Carminos is appointed to his office. This gentleman, acting upon the old maxim that a new broom sweops clean, has given Mr. Wash? burn a taste of his quality in a long-winded and very "high and mighty" letter. He accuses bim of complicity with the ene? mies of his government and the "hoiy national cause," and hints that if Lopez visited the American Minister with the pumshment he deserved, he also would be sont to prison in iron9, and put to the rack. But he adds, with the most condescending magnanimity, "My government, ever solicitous to give unequivo? cal proofs of its high consideration and esteem for the great American Repuolic, limits itself to sending you your passports, and requesting von to loavo tho country." He thou tells Mr. Washburn that a steamer will be at his dis? posal any hour he ploasos, "after to-morrow," to c im y him on board the gunboat Wasp. He udds as a s.>rt of postscript, that he cannot give passports to B<iss ami Masterman, but that "thev must abide by tho decrees of justice." Mr. Bliss writes to tho Rev. Mr. Goodfellow from A-uncion, September 7, a lotter, in which ho says be is aneeted and found guilty on a chai go of being sworn to assassinate Lopez, all tho testimony beitiR of coursa forged, although bc is ignorant of what it is or who aro his accusers. That Mr. Washburn should pocket the in? sult of Going sont a.out hts business, and say nothing auoat it, is of a piece with the whole of his coaduct in tiieso disgraceful transac? tions. Nor arc wo surprised that ho should degrade himself hy accepting tho offer of Lipczs steamer to convoy lum on board thc Wasp, instead of getting there aa ho otherwise could, and thou calling upon tne fleet to avenge tue outrage up JU tuc national honor. But th it, having had time to think upon the mag? nitude ot thc crime committed by Lopez in dragging from Ins side-his "protection," as be called it-two such mon as Bliss and Mas? terman, both of thom American citizens, ho should deliberately abandon thom to the cruel? ties of a ty raul who never knew what justice or mercy was, exceeds all belief. -Mrs. Boachman, tho wife of a United States soldier, who was assaulted by tho color? ed woman Louisa, in Columbia, and to whom reference was made iu Thursday's NEWS, died Saturday afternoon. WASHINGTON GOSSIP. The New Radical Programme of "Con? ciliation"-"fr g ro Suffrage tobe Affirm? ed In all the States-Tbe Proposition of an Influential Radical-A Call for a Constitutional Convention of ali the States-Democratic Praise of Grant General Rawlings, his Ability and Influence. The Washington correspondent of the Balti? more Gazette writes : The new Radical programme, put forth as one of conciliation, now that they have full power, is, in some of its details, difficult of comprehension, but in others plain enough. The proposition, for example, to inflict upon the wholo country, by another patch upon the constitution, tho undoubted evil of negro suf? frage, ?B purely and solelv designed to negroize Maryland, Kentucky and?)elawaro-Missouri is already shackled by proscriptions of whites. It bas, nevertheless, been so ingeniously insinu? ated to tho public, that it has been "nude to assume thc shape of a measure of concession to the South-a salad to its wounded honor? ait extravagant reliance being placed upon thc potency of the aphorism that " misery likes company." It need not be added that the nec.ro vote in the States which would be affect? ed by such an amendment, other than those named, is altogether insignificant politically, and would long since havo been accorded, but for a real personal prejudico, tho existence of which has boen falsely charged upon tho South. I had an interesting conversation this morn? ing with a gentleman high in thc Radical san? hedrim, upon the whole subject of the consti? tution in its respect to parties and tho condi? tion of tho country, its amendments already adopted, undoubtedly, those doubtfully adopt? ed, and others proposed, whon be startlingly remarked as follows: "Why should we not call a National Consti? tutional Convention at once and tramo a new fundamental code to suit the allured condition of things ? Wo of the Radical Bide aro well aware th A wo can never convince the controlling minds of the Democracy that our past, present and prospectivo measures are constitutional, and the bonost portion of that party will never protend to be lievo they are. The best, tho thinking men of the country, aro thereby kept asuuder and hindered trom devising a system having in view solely tho essential good of-the nation. The constitution, as things now stand, bas no vitality in a Bingle article, section, paragraph or clause applicable either to the Executive, Les i bia ti ve or Judicial Departments of tho government, and, probably, will not for many years, if ever. The system of government contemplated by it is effete, and the American people who gavo the world the example of a constitution on parchment, couched in plain English words, now present fie singular anomaly of living under a government guided by no fundamental law whatever written, or nnwritten-and, young as it is, unable to appeal to tradition, but left at the unbridled caprice of tho demagogues of the hour.." "Two thinga," continued ho, "aro much to bo deplored, tho ono is, that the foolish flatteries of Grant by the Democratic press have shorn the General of the little weight he might othorwiso havo had with his Radical friends, Wade, Wilson, Morton, S mi? nor, Butler and Logan, whose co-operation would be indispensable to bring about so desirable a result; and the second is, that thu continued ill health of General Rawlings pre? vents him from actively engaging in the mighty events looming up in the immediate future. A Constitutional Convention is his panacea for all existing evils." At thia point, not being advised in regard to the safety at thia juncturo of a "Constitutional Convention,'' but rorcibly impressed willi some of tho views presented. I inquirod as to the status and calibje of General Rawlings, and was answered that "few mon now living, of dither part}-, equal him in comprehensive and liberal statesmanship, and that no man enjoys (io large a share ot Grant's confidence, lt "is but justico to say that 1 havo heard in other quarters this gentleman's intellect highly spo? ken of, but as to his "liberality" tho public have been "educated" to doubt, and require stronger proof than has yet been afforded. His influence with Congress-tho reigning power is yet to be tested. I have it from an intelligent Radical source that tho catch-word at the coming session of Congnss will bo "economy." THU RE VOL VTION IN CUBA. It is now more than a month sinco tho east? ern provinces of Cuba have been disturbed by revolutionary movements. All the available Spanish troops have been concentrated thero, a dozen engagements have been fought, and the insurrection is still in full vigor. From a letter published in tho "Messager Franco-Am?ri? cain," wo learn that the seat of war is confined to the mountainous part of tho island, east of Puerto Principe, and that tho contest, from being a guerilla affair, has becomo a war conducted in truo military fashion. A provi? sional government has been established at Bayamo, at the head of which are Francisco Aguilera and Carlos Coapodcs, tho first a rich planter, and thc second a distinguished lawyer of Bayamo. Though largo slaveholders, they are both in favor of tho abolition of slavery. Some twenty other persons of wealth and influ? ence in Eastern Cuba are embarked in thc movement. Most of the insurgents have liberated their slaves on tho condition that they shall aid in securing tho independence of Cuba, and in all the guerilla bands are to be found a certain pro? portion of negroes, who light courageously by tho sido of their former masters. In tho uiaui gent ranks aro also several hundred veteran Dominicans who havo grown gray in the civil wars of that republic, aud, strange t o say. a number of young creole and mulatto women, who handle and fire their muskets like old sol? diers. Some of these women, it is said, belong to thc best society, and exercise a marked influence upon their leaders ana fellow-soldiers. Tne Provisional Junta proposes soon to send an agent to Washington to demand of the United States Government a recognition of their rights aa belligerents, and will show that the revolutionary army alroady numbers over seven thousand men, and that the Spanish au? thorities are utterly unable to make hoad against it. Several severe engagements have already taken place, in .vhich a body of Spanish troops under Colonel Quiros, and another commanded by Colonel Louo. are reported to have been de? cidedly worsted. Meanwhile, telegraphic com? munication with Puerto Principe is cut off. It is not known whether the revolutionary move? ment projected in that city has been commenc? ed, but there ia no doubt that several hundred Cubans from the neighborhood have gone to join the insurgente at Bayamo. Rumors are rife of an attack upon Santiago de Cuba, to be aide i by tho inhabitants of the place, iii view of these grave complications, the Captain-Gen? eral, Lersundi, has recalled General Bavcnet, commanding in Eastern Cuba, and sent thither General Munoz, who distinguished himself dari og the invasion of tho island by Lopez in 1854. He ie expected to act witb promptness and vigor, and has boen promised largo rein forcements. This will leave but two or three thousand Spanish troops in Western Cuba. Tho result of the revolution will depend large? ly upon tho Lttitttdo of the districts of Matan? zas, Vuelta Abajo, Cordcuas and Havana. Tho latest accounts from Havana dated on the 12th state that the government troops eleven thousand strong-wcro besieged m Manzanillo by a hrgo force of msurgouts who wero only three milos distant. The Spaniards, meautime, were throwing up barricades in tho streets for protection. Accounts from Santiago report that a largo force of insurgents were within four miles ot that place on thc Gth. Great panic appears to li ve prevailed, for il is said thal huudre is ol families had cleared out foi Jamaica. The confusion is reported to bo immenso all along thc coast, and a significant cry for aid from tho United States was prevail? ing everywhere. Some of tho wealthiest fam? ilies iu tho island have linked their fortunes with the causo of tho insurgents. All the towns from Puerto Principe to Santiago ex? cept three aro in tho hands of the insurgents. So disastrous has boen the result of collisions in the interior to the Spanish troops that they are afraid to venture out of the towns. The New York brier Jenny Clark, with arms and ammunition, bad been seized at Naevitaa by (he authorities, and a load of arms for the gov? ernment troops, also from the United State3, had been captured by tho insurgents.

During thc war with Mexico, he was appointed a Cap? tain in the regular service, organized a com? pany and proceeded to the Rio Grande, where he was connected with the army of General Taylor. -Tho California Labor Exchange reports that tho demand for bricklayers, carpenters, plasterers and painters has greatly increased siuce the earthquake in San Francisco.

SANDS toss on tick bed* to-day, who might have been well and hearty hod they token due precautions for the pr?servation of th it most precious of earthly bless? ings, a sound mind in a sonad body. Sickness, to a greater exteut than most people suppose, ls avoid? able. When thc body Is languid, tho spirits de? pressed, and thc nervous system unnaturally sensi? tive, lt should b? token for granted that misc jief is brewing. These hints and warnings, vouchsafed as such by a kind Providence, ought not to be disre? garded. If tbev are slighted, as is too generally the case, the next thing may be a fever, a severe bilious attack, or some other form of acute disease They indicate os clearly os if tho intimation wore given in articulate longuaee, that the auiinal functions ore disordered, aud the syntom debilitated. Under these circumstances, the only thing to be done is to regulate and restore, and tho best regulating and restorative preparation ever used for the ticvention of sickness is HOSTCTTEB'S STOMACH BITTEBS. In this way, bilious remittent fever, chills and fever, spasms, nervous paroxysms, violent attacks of indigestion, and all the ordinary epidemics, may almost certainly bo averted. They ara usually pre? ceded by the symptoms described, and surely it ia wisdom to forestall them b .? resorting to an antidote at once harmless, agreeable aud invigorating. Most assuredly, it w ll soon dissipate the unpleasant feel? ings retened to; which, of course, is desirable, even if they were net likely to lead to something worse. The close of tho fall is usually accompanied by un? healthy fogs and violent atmospheric changes, and it is thc efore a season when invigoration is particu? larly seeded. 6 November 23 ?-BUY YOUR TEA AND COFFEE FROM E RI ETE & CHAPMAN, corner King and Radcliffe streets, and get a better orticle for tho same money than at any other establishment in the city.
