THE HEALTH OF THE EMPEROR-POLICY OF THE GOVERNMENT-THE ENGLISH PBESS AND ?HLP OWNXBH AND THE ALABAMA TREATY. LONDON, November 29.-The Loudon Times and Paris correspondents of other papers have lately given currency to rumors that the bealth ol Napoleon is failing, and public confidence nae, in consequence, been somewhat disturbed. These rumors have been officially contradicted from Paris, yet it is well understood that with? out positive illness the Emperor declines to G take his usual active exercise, and shows signs of decaying strength and mental apathy. The policy of his government seems just now to be to make a demonstration of vigor against the opposition; to render the latter unpopular, and preservo the mo/ale of the department offi? cials. Much indignation has been caused among British ship-owners by a rumor that the Ala? bama treaty doo3 not allow claims of English? men, based on decisions of American Prize Courts, to be reopened before tbs commission. The Shipping Gazette says such provision is contrary to precedents established by Ameri? cans themselves, and excludes claims undoubt? edly well founded, and declares if this report is trae the convention is a capitulation, and Par? liament will never eatiction it. A writer in the Observer takes the same view of tho subject, and discasses it at length, citing many autho? rities. ^ THE REVOLUTION IN SPAIN.

COLUMBIA, November 30.- IN THE SENATE, J. J. Wright, of Beaufort, offored the following preamble and resolutions : Wltereas, The Senate bas hoard, with thc most profound sorrow and regrot, ot tho death of Hon. Benjamin Franklin Randolph, lato a senator from the County of Orangoburg, who, m tho prime of manhood and full vigor of in? to, lect, fell, pierced by the bullets of an assas? sin, o i Friday, tho 16th day of October, 1868 Resolved, That in his death tho Senate has been deprived of o.ie of its most esteemed and valued members; of one who, in his privato friendships, was affectionate aud stoadfasl; and who. as a public man, was over tho ardent, bold and outspoken champion of haman lib? erty and human rights; who, whilo over main? taining his owu dignity and self-respect, never, even in the hen of debato, forgot tho courtesy that was due to an opponent; of ono who, in his entire career, public and private, wa? a representative man of Iiis timo aud the people. .Rt sot ced, That these resolutions bo entered upon the jourual of thc Senate, and that a copy thereof, attested by the President and Clerk, and appropriately engrossed, bo forwarded to tho afflicted relatives ol' tho deceased, with the expression of our sincero sympathy and con? dolence with thom in this terrible bereave? ment. J. J. Wright spoke as follows: Mr. Preside fit and Gen'/tmen of the Senate Hie preamble and resolutions which I proseut to this honorable body are presented for the purpose of showing that respect which is duo io our deceased and much lamented member, the Hon. B. F. Randolph. He was a mau who merited respect m all hid actions, uot only in this Senate, but through the whole course of his life. Were it deemed necessary, I might give a brief history of his life; but it is enough tor me to say that thrre is no porco:i of his ago who has passed away and left a brighter record than he. It shows that from his boyhood til! tin time ho fell bj the hand of a wicked assas? sin his whole life was spont iu striving to fur? ther tho cause of human progress and liberty. He was ayoung man, hut one who was bloused with superior talents, and, to his honor it can truly bo said, that his talents were always em? ployed in dotug good. Ho seemed always to have one great object in view, and that was to unite all classos of thc people, and moko them happy. He always mot ovcry poi? son pleasantly, and oven his bitterest oppo? nents acknowledged that he was a man of warm heart, gentlemanly de ortment, a philanthro? pist ana a scholar." The tone of all his speeches was mild and conciliatory. Ho believed in equal and exact justice to ali men, and from that lino of policy he sever deviated. His career as chaplain in the Union army, as agent of the educational department of the Freedmen s Bu? reau, as a member of the Constitutional Con ventioD, and as a memoer of the Senate, com? mends itself, without any eulogiuni on my part, to all those who are desirous of seeing peace, tranquillity and justice established in our midst, and our common country to be the banner of all nations desiring human liberty and justice to be meted out to all classes of persons. i3ut he has gone; his labors upou earth have ended. Wo look around and wc miss one from our midst; yes, we behold a vacant chair. No more shall we behold him there and hear his strong and firm voice m defence nf those pure principles whtch he always so earn? estly and ably advocated. When wo reflect that ho had fallen, there is a thrill of sadness that steals over our frames, in memory of bim who has died a martyr to our country's cause. But, while be hy the hand of the assassin has fallon, we rejoice, that the cause for which he died still lives, and will live as long as timo shall last. It is a noble thought to cherish, that when martyrs die, their cause lives. . "For freedom's battle once begun, Bequeathed from blooding sire to sou, Ol ten lost is ever won." It is not a novelty in the history of the world for men like the Hou. B. F. Randolph to be assassinated, tor there are always those who are opposed to human progress, equality aud freedom, and those who will resort to any measures to arrest the spread of the eternal and immutable principles of right. The world's history shows, that in consequence ol' persons contending lor tho right, they have not only been brutally shot down, but burner] at the stako, and tortured in every conceivable way by tho euemies of thc cause iu which they were engaged. But wc should iguore that brute force cannot crush out thought as it can Ufe; and tbat oppression and tyranny cannot causo tho true, the loyal and the br ive, to turn asida from the path ot" duty andrectitudc. i Oar worthy senator was a person who was very muoL beloved by the penile, in consc quance of his untiring labors for their welfare. He loved tho people, and he loved his country. I feel assured that if it had been made plain to h m that to go to Abbeville and talk to the people, and instruct them iu relation to their doty to themselves and their couatrv, that he was to fall by the assassin's band, thai would have cone; and I also believe that he permitted to be in our midst, and spei this heartrending and lamentable affair would utter, in that classic voice : Pro pc est mort. He was hated by a few, and no doubt assassinated simply because of his great of truth and justice, and the energy and manifested in their defence. If he were sassinated on account of his principles anc cause in which he was engaged, this is ! cient to clearly demonstrate tho weakness unholiness and tho falsity of tho cause of opponents, as violence is never required tc force truth and holiness. In the person of the Hon. B. F. Randi this Senate has lost one of its ablest labor and the country an able champion of libe He seemed to fully comprehend tho fact Our State had been very much broken, fragmenta scattered and to gather them and properly unite them, master work: were required. In every sense of the word was a master workman. Many attempts v made by his enemies to villify und blast character, so that they might destroy wholesome influence which he exerted am thc pcoplo ; but ho soared so high above tl that their efforts wero in vain. He IB di yet ho lives ; and the influence he has cxei will be felt by irenerations yet unknown, they will revere his name. Mr. Corbin rose and spoke as follows: Mr. President and Senator?-1 desire unite my voice with that of the senator fi Beaufort' in eulogy imon thc Hon. B. r'. JB dolph. It was my pleasure to si!- by his t during tho whole bf tho special session-] haps the most trying that any legislative b was ever called to pass through-and ? dei hero to testify to his unflinching, his unb tating and his impartial devotion to duty, was a man actuated by tho hiebest nvAU the purest purposos arid the noblest ambiti If we differed. I have always Volt thal it i an honest difference, if wo sometimes I different views, it was because of the diff?re of our constitutions. If wc did not sec tbii in the eame light, I always knew, whether c tenting or agreeing with me, that he held views honestly, conscientiously, and was wayo roady to be convinced it he was wro Hence it is 1 always felt the most proton respect and good will for the senator who gone. I feel, however earnest and able wc n work, however much we may toil, we ah never exceed him in our aspiratioi s; we c never moro deserve-and t hope it may be : ambition to deserve-that tribute which universally accord to him. That ho fell as he did fall is a sad calami a terrible blow upon the reputation ot our Sta His death sent a thrill through the heart every individual in the land, Dot only throug out our own State, but throughout tho Uni< His name and the circumstances of his deo have reached every town in the Union, a there has been sont up from every portion the country an unqualified condemnation the terrible deed which so suddenly broug him to his untimely death. 1 could say i thing, could add nothing to what has be already said in execration of the death of o of our number in sucha manner. The wei world will always condemn, and future genet tions will look back with horror upon the p: tics who, in open daylight, made an attn upon bim from behind, and without giving li: one word of warning, shot and left him a li: less corpse. I second thc adoption of tho prea obie at resolutions, and I hope upon their adoptic the Senato will adjourn out of respect to I memory. S wails rose and said: Mr. President and Senators -It was my i tentiou to havo risen ior tho purpose of socon ing the preamble and resolutions, but that hi already beon dono. I may add, however, a fe remarks to those already ni ad o ii regard tho fife of thc Hon. Benjamin F. Randolph. have beon acquainted with Mr. Randolph pro ably longer than any member of this bod My acquaintance with him commenced wbi be was yet a member and chaplain of tho 2oi Regiment of United States Colored Troop then ia the service of the Cnitod States, fi was then engaged in tho exeat WDrk of rccoi structing the State of South Carolina, as I Wt myself. I met liim in 1804 at Hilton Head, an was introduced to him by ouo then high i military office in this Stalo. I found him to L a man in intellect much above the ordin il staudard of men. I have sinco been connecte with him in the schools of this Mate, and as member of tho Constitutional Convention an tho Senate, and iiave worked with him in a tho political works which have takon place ii tho State of South Carolina sinco the yea 18GG. I have always found him to be a man c strict intogrily and unswerving fidelity to th peoplo. Elayne offered a resolution that thc member wear thc usual badge of mourning for thirt dava, and said : Mr. President and Senators-My object o intr ducing that resolution was to m alco ut novel show lo the world o* the respect that wc as members of the Senate, had for the Hon. B P. Randolph, fori know that every true senato on this floor, every senator true to liberty an< truo to to tho causo of humanity and justice has lone since worn thu badge of mourning oi his heart. The people throughout thc Stati have worn the badge of mourning ou thei: hearts; but to-day ve pay th'3 tribute of re? spect du i hi n as a member of the Senate o the State of South Carolina. When 1 look al your chair it makes my heart ache to tin.il that in thc pride cf manhood he has already fallen in defeuco of tho cause of justice ant humanity. Thc consciences ol' the foul ass as sins, I feel, caunob be at test. The spirit ol our deceased senator is at ro?t m tuc mansion! of bliss; but tho demons who fired the eboti aro awaiting their awful sentence, "'Jeporl from me ye cursed into everlasting fire pre? pared for tho devil and his angels." Mr. President and Senators, 1 liopo the Sen? ato will tako such action as to show thc pe >i?"e of South Carolina that free rpecch, ubuve everything else, will bc protected, nol only iii tho .Northern Stales, nu! i i Mic Southern States. Wc have a frito and independent form of government, aud 1 bo.ie it is the intention of o very senator to seo that tho new Constitu? tion of South Carolina ?3 not a dead letter, but a living reality; that free speech ami the free? dom of tho p'ress shill be protected all over this State; and that th.tt dark corner of thu Stato may yet be brought ti light, and law and order prevail. Let us hope that those foul as? sassins may bo brought to punishment, hang? ing by their necks until their holies bj dead; and, for tho sake of mercy. I hope God will havo mercy ou their souls. The question being taken on the resolution, it was unanimously adopted. Mr. Maxwell offered the following: Pisoloed, That as a further tribute of respect to tho memory of the late Hon. B. F. Randolph, the Senate do now adjourn. The resolution was agreed to, and tho Senate adjourned. IN THE HOUSE. A. J. Ransier, from the Committee on Privilogcs and Elections, re? ported : The Committee on Privileges and Elections, to whom was referred a statement of votes given in Lexington County for a representa? tive m the Legislature November 3, 1868 have had the same under consideration, and beg leave to report, that from I iii? statement they find that at au election held in the County ol' Lexington on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November inst., the following vo ea were given for a representative in thc Logis laturo of the State of South Carolina to fill the unexpired term of Georg o A.

Lowie were struck out as illegal for the reason that tea wero cadt by persons who resided and are registered in Edgefield County, and who have not registered m thia county sixty diys next preceding such election, and two were cast by persons who havo never beon registered." This statement is aigned : L. H. Boozer, J. \V. Coogler and Charles Hullo, Commissioners of Election. Your committee, not being in possession ol the ballots or othor evidences, cannot say whether this statement, is a correct aud truo return or n t. but if correct and true, which your committee believes lo bo the case, they are lita loss to determine the objoet of a reference lo thom of such s paper, a id what disposition lo make of it unless ita purports to be tho cerli licato of election of F. 8. Lewie as a member of this House; if so your committee would re? commend that it lie on the table und the Sec? retary ot State bo called upon for informal ion as to whether tho election was held in Lexing? ton County o:i thc SJ day of Novenibor instant, br a m ;nibcr in p ace of George A.

On motion, the renort was adopted. The House then adjourned. THE POLLARD MURDER. The fact has already been briefly mentionel by telegraph that James Grant, who shot H. Rives Pollard in Richmond, had been admitted to bail in tho sum of $10,000 to answer at the February term. We take the following from the Richmond papers : Before Mr. Grant had becD released on bail, Mr. E. A. Pollard made his appearance in the court-room'and stated to tho Mayor that he expected to be able to provo by two witnesses, who overheard the conversation, that Mr. Sto? ver, a friend of tho Grant family, had called upon his brother at his house on the night be? fore the publication ot the paper, and endeav? ored to prevail upon him not to publish the article. His brother said to him that the press had never felt tho least delicacy about publish? ing anything iu regard to members of his fam? ily, and had dragged them all remorselessly before tho public, and had never considyrcd it wrong to pillory their names in full, whenever anything occurred with which rumor remotely connected them; and this course on the part of the public and tho press had completely soured him, and he had determined to spare nono iu Tuturc who should lay themselves liable to pub? lic censure or criticism. "Yon may te'l Mr. Grant, however," said he, "that I will publish any explanation ho may chose to mako, with? out, a single altcration.no muter whit he may say; hut I have f irly examined the facts in the case, and find they warrant thc publication, and I will not suppress it." This conversation was overheard by a lady in thc house and an? other person. His brother did not hear any? thing further from the Grant family. Mr. Pollard then re narked to" the Mayor that he had no idea the matter would be" so promplly di Rinsed of this morning, or he would have been present with his counsel, Judge dump, and the witnesses referred to, whom he hoped might bc heard before thc pris mer should be admitted to bail. Tho Mayor replied that he would give his witnesses and counsel a hearing to-morrow at ten o'clock. Mr. W. K. Watts, of thc firm of Putnam & Watts, signed his bail-bond for $10.000, and James Grant went forth into the sunlight of tho world again-and waa borne to his father's residence in a carriage which had been provid? ed in anticipation of his release. James Marshall Hanna, the associate editor of the Southern Opinion, makes the following statement in reference to his connection with tho article which ie generally bebeved to havo been the cause of Mr. Pollards death: I was the associate editor of the Southern Opinion; as such I wrote the most of the original articles that have appeared in its columns. Much 1 wrote of my own volition, and more ? wrote by special direction of the editor-in-chief. I prepared that article which cost thc editor bia life. It was prepared by bis direction. Afterwards, convincod that its publication would be impolitic if not unsafe, I asked that tho article might be modided, expungod altogether, or the names left blank, or filled with initials that would have left the case without a ' local habitation." Tho article bal passed from thc control of the associate; it was thon tho property of the editor-to print or withhold. He was responsible, not 1; a.id no matter how much I had desired the assumption, H. Rives Pollard always as sumod, and never evaded, thc- responsibility of every linc and paragraph printed in the Opin? ion. "I am responsible!" was his invariable response to applicants for redress. No; tie blood of ri. Hives Pollard, our late associate, is not upon our hands. Wo are in? nocent in tho sight of God, and shall prove ourself innocent ia the opinion of men. I never consented lo tho descent of the Southern Opinion from tho lofty pinnacle it once held; I never willingly prostituted its columns, though I have at timi's prepared paragraphs for inser? tion that 1 know caused me kouicr pain than it did those for whom they were intondod. COMMERCIAL TOPICS. Tine Foreign Cotton Competition. |From the New York Daily Bulletiu.] Tho cffortB of tho government and capitalista of Englaud to exton 1 the area of cotton culti? vation in other countries beside tho Un ?tod States, show no abatement of energy ami en? terprise. In ovory part of tho globe where cotton eau bo raised, English capitalists and brains stimulate its culture, and supply, as fur as can bc, all the deficiencies arising from the peculiar situation of the soil and thc cultiva? tors. To emancipate themselves irom dopen* dence upon Amen cm cotton ia an object to which English manufacturers attach a high degree of importance. Upon tho aucoosa of theso efforts they regard the question of tho monopoly of the cotton supply as depondcut; and to prevent tho restoration of the former supremacy of tue Un.tod Stales in the produc tiou of tho great staple, they spare no oxponse or trouble. Tho immense political influence of thc government promotes thc efforts of private individuals, and English officials and consular ageuts iu every part of the world to carry out tho designs ot tho Manchester Cotton Supply Association. The latest information relative to tin cu' turo of cotton in ot.icr countries besides the United States during the year 19(J8 are reas? suring. A company ins been foi med in Mel? bourne for the. cultivation ot cotton and sugar in the Feojeo Islands, thc soil ami climate of whic i are said tobe favorable tor tli3 growth ot theso products. lu th) cotton province of San Paulo, Brazil, tba product lias increased from 7027 arrobas iu 18JA-5 to (JUJ,ODO arrobis in 1?J7-8. For the vena 18J8-9 a yield of no lesa than OOO OOO arrobas is atiticipned. THO British consular agent?: in the United States of Colombia report that, notwithstanding tho admira bio capabilities of soil and climate, no cotton is grown in tho interior, owing to tho indolence of the natives, and also owing to the unsettled political condit.on of the country. But from thu consular districts of Madelina a small supply will bo obtaiued. Tho cotton tree is indigenous and perennial in this region, and offers almost boundless returns. When tho crop is picked thc tree is cut down, and sprouts up again for next soason. Tho tree bears cotton tor twenty years. With a settled foi m of government offering security to labor and capital, it ia estimated that immense re? turns could bo procured from this region. From India tho exporta for 1807-8 show a decrease of ?b'.OOi) bales as compared with the season last year. This falling off is attributed partly to the oarly setting in of the rainy season in the central provinces, and partly to large supplies s Mit to the Northwestern pro? vinces and to Bengal for native consumption. Tho area cultivated is larger, however, than last year, and it is anticipated that later ac? counts may show an undiminished supply for exportation later in the season. Loid Mayo, thc new Governor-Goueral of India, in re? sponse to a committee of the Cotton Supply Association, promiacd to promote and extend the cultivation of cotton in India, and facilitate its speedy conveyance to Great Britain. Americans have still too deep an interest in their great staple to bo indifferent to the efforts that ia in progresa lo stimulate competition with it by thu various cotton producing coun? tries in the world. That these eflbrta aro to a largo degree euee ;saful, and that they promise no less important results in tho tuture than in thc past, is only too apparent. But the coutrast between tho aciion ot govornme.it and capital? ists of England and of these of tho United Stales ai e not favorab.o to tho American char actor. It wa are ever t ? recover our former cotton ascouaouey it w.ll manifestly be through individual enterprise exercised irrespective of co-operative or government aid. Thia course, perhaps, ma bo moro in accordance with the prevailing typo of Am rican charaeicr, but i tis ccnai.i that wiso siiiteauiuns.iip demanda at least tho removal of all impediments to the culture of cotton in too Southern States. - The Horry Seutiuoi caron ides tho death, b.v drowning, of Janies LMdiey, Esq., a youi.g and prominent memucr of ihe bar ot that dis? trict.

THE COBA DEVOLUTION.-Thc New York Post publishes a letter from a Cuban gentleman, who analyzes the reports sent to this country from Havana, of the political condition of the island and tho movements of tho Spanish troops. Ho shows that thc authorities have been much moro embarrassed by the strength and vigor of the insurrectionary party than they have confessed, and it seems probable, even, from this analysis of the government re? ports, that the Spanish troops have met with serious reverses, and that tho insurrection is extending to all parts of the island. Thc writer says : One obj jct of the insurrectionists, as they profess, is to extirpate slaver., which has long boen opposed and regarded as an evil by the Cuban party, as it is called, to distinguish it from the Spanish party. Another of their ob? jects is to establish the independence of Cuba. 1'liey complain that they have suffered from Spain preci/wly the wrongs which thc Ameri? can colonies suffered from England. They have had Spaniards of no character put over them; ever; avenue for an honorable public career ha? been closed to men of Cuban birth; all thc offices of honor or profit are monopo? lized by Spaniards, and they havo to bear an oppress!ro burden of taxation, without receiv? ing any benefits. For these reasons they in tend to assert their independence, to expel tho Spaniards, and to set up a ropnblic of their own; md Cubans in this city, who aro m cor? respondence with tho insurrectional y leaders, express a belief that the movement will suc? ceed. Mus. HABRiEr BEECH BR S rows CONVEETED WO hear from Floridi that lire. Beecher Stowe, tho authoress of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," who a year or two ago hought a place 01 the St. John's Bi ver, near Jacksonville, sa vs she wants to live long enough to wnto another book lo correct tho mistakes of "Unelo Tom," and show that a great blunder was committed wbon slavery was abolished. From original condi? tion of sentimental attachment to thc negro sho has lapsed into a state ot unconquerable dislike aud aversion. She will not have them about her, either in doors or out. She turned them ali off her place, and allows no ono with a black skin to approach hor. We are told that an acquaintance of ours sought to send her a message by a black stewardess on board a steamboat, but sho refused to allow the negro to approach her. Her mind, as we have been credibly informed, is very much inflamed against tho nearro; and this, probably, from comparing their efficiency and aptitu ie as laborers and servants with that of thc North? ern whites. Her fancy picture of the African has boen spoiled, and her sentimental affection has turnod, in consequence, to violent aver? sion. Like Squccrs. tho milk of human sym? pathy in hor bosom has all turned to curds and whey.-Macon (Ga.) Telegraph. MARRIAGE OF DEAF MUTES IN MEMPHIS. The Memphis Avalanche, of Thursday, says : '.Yesterday witnossod, at the Second Presby? terian Church, tho marriage of Mr. Henry J. Haight, of New York city, to Miss Mollie L.
