CUBA TO BE PURCHASED BY THE UNITED STATES - THE PROPOSITION OF THE VTBGINIA COMMIT? TEE TO CONGRESS. WASHINGTON. January 20.-Tho President's Privato Secretary, Mr. Worden, telegraphs to several papers which employ him, that nego? tiations are pending between our government and Spain for tito transfer of the Island of Cuba to the United States, the only material differenco to overcome being apparently the price to be paid to the Spanish Gov ernment, information accessible to the agents of tho Associated Press does not enable them to verify this dispatch. Tho Virginia Committco have presented to the Senate Judiciary Committee a memorial submitting amendments to the House bill now under consideration, providing for an election in Virginia. They propose to modify the con? stitution to such an extent as they believe would be accepted by tho people of Virginia. JD connection with which, they say that the real feeling of the people of the State is ex? pressed when they declare the belief that the freedmen of the South, in their present uned? ucated condition, are not prepared for au in? telligent use of the elective franchise, ic; yet, in view of the public opinion expressed iu the recent election, they believe that the ma? jority of the people are willing to incorporate univoisal suffrage iu their fundamental law as offering an altar of peace, and hoping for a restoration of tho Union with harmony on the basis of universal suffrage and universal am? nesty, and considering that the policy of the government requires from Virginia a constitu? tional recognition of the civil and political equality of all men before the law. They have in the amendments proposed inserted all the provisions looking to th tl result, heretofore deemed pioper by Congress, and have left un? touched any provisions of tho constitution re? lative to tho subject.

After thc regular business of the day had been transacted the society adjourned to.tho dining room, where a dinuer was served hy Mr. Butterfield, of which it may be said that it was thc most satisfactory public dinner that has been given in Charleston for a long time. There was an abundance ol' everything, and it was well prepared, and when that is said about a dimer, there is nothing stronger that re? mains to bo said. Tables were spread on throo sides of thc largo dinning-rootn of the hotel, and they were well lilied, there being upwards of one huudrcd persons present. Captain Jacob Small, President of the society, presided at one end of the table, and Alderman Olney, one of the vice-Presidents, at thc other; the President being BupDorted on his right by Professor Meier, and on his left by Dr. Bach man. Knives, forks and glr.sses jingled mer? rily for awhile, until thc heartiest eaters leaned back in their chairs, witbdrawinc from the contest with good tilings successful, yet de? feated. Then tho tables were cleared of all save the drinkables, and silence being restored President Small read the first regular toast The Day we celebrate-Inaugurated by Charit; and good fellowship, may it bc perpetual. This was responded to by tho vice-President nt tho foot of thc table, and then tho band, which was stationed in tho centre of the hall, played ' La Marscllaise." The President then read the second regular toast: Ihe Founders of our Society-May wo ever chet i-h that noble feeling established by them, and may wc cover be recreant in carrying out their de? signs. This toast was responded to by A. H. Dun? kin, Esq., in substance as follows: One hundred and three years aso the Ger? man Friendly Soeioty was organized by sons of the Fatherland, who bad made their homes in this city of the new world. Their bond of union was brotherly love and charity. Siniplo in their tastes, earnest iu their mission of labor, exact and honest in their respective vocations, they impressed upon tho commu? nity in which t?ey Jived some of the best types of German civilization. They wo~e thought? ful, practical, reticont. Their coutr;ence was of slow growth, but once bestowed rarely with? drawn. To tho duties of lifo they wero truo ; to tho pleasures of life thoy wero just by their moderation. Tnoy put their hands to thoir work which was before them ; they looked not behind. A century and more bas rolled by. The Colonial government the pioneers formed has been transformed into a republic, and some ot them lived to take a pride in a Steu? ben and DeKalb, who won the placo of hero and martyr in tho struggle for new lifo. After the waving shoots thal adorned their graves had become sturdy, veuerablo monarchs, then came the agony which veiled the land in sack? cloth and ashes The hour of glory in new birth, The agony in tho Btill-born. Throughout all the German attributes of selt'-rJ.ance, caution, honesty have been visible in eur midst. Bo true to the memory of the founders, and never say die. The third regular toast was read as fol lows : Germany I-Sweet land of our fi then? and dear home of our affect iou; though separated by tho mighty ccean, our hearts e till cling to thee, and we will ever remember thee with pleasure. This was responded to by Professor Herman D. Meier, whose every toao and gesture be? spoke the true orator, animated by his theme and giving graceful expression to his own warm feelings. Professor Meier said : Permit mc, genthmen, to say that nothing but the hope of your kiud indulgence encour? ages me to appropriate to myself, as the most recent Carolinian in your midst, as a guest from the far-off shores of the Fat Uer In nd, tho honor of being allowed to speak beforo this ancient and venerable soeioty. I am ouo of those mentioned in tho intro? duction to your iules, "who emigrated to Charleston with a view of seeking in a new country that reposo which their own has do? med them." Yee my wannest feelings aro at? tached to her. Bul verily, gentlemen, it is to tho stranger just landing au itulescribable feel? ing of comfort and delight to see how Go. man customs and habits thrive even mid. r tho moro glowing beams of a Southern sun, rear? ing, coupled with American life, a tall and stately tree, which no storm can break, no dark and heavy clouds ctn bend down, and under whose fnondlyand hospitable protection tho stranger ceases, as a natural sequence, to bo a stranger. Tue crown of this enchanting tree is tho venerable German Friendly Society, irs ir mts are stored up in the records of a his? tory more than centennial; their names are science in education, sociability in reunions, hospitality aud protecttoa to tho new comer from tho soil ot the Fatherland, charity and nursing of the si.-k in times of trouble and gloom-each and every one o? these virtues separately a golden applo of immortality in a vessel of silver. Let mo proclaim, thon, <vit!i Uhland, our dead but un jying Germau bard : "Ond fra?t man nach der Schuldigkeit, Ko sch?ttelt er den Wipfel; Gesegnet rei er allezeit Von der Wurzel bis zum Gojifel 1" And DOW, gentlemen, seeing, as I do herc. Germans and Americans in friendly union, al? low me to repeat, whit I said iu my "Greeting to South Carolina" : ..No power can ki'l tho cverpo*erf il live oak Alw..y.i ou Carolina's sons inherent." For I view in this venerable society a doubly crowned live oak of a huudrcd years' growth; let us drink to this twi::-cro\vncd tree, accord? ing lo arr?!oui German hirth dav custom : May it live, thrive, bloom and l ear fruit vet with the assistance i-f God tor five hundred y> a. a t J come. The band sang and played the "Fatherland," many of thoso prosont joining io. Tho fourth regular toast was then offered : Chafes on o.:r L?ome-May the dark ciuuile that yet ovei shadow tho horizon soonb.> ak, ami tue mol? low rays ot the sun ot peace bless her with happintss ani prosocrity. This was responded to by John H. Honour, Esq., cue of the Aldermen of thc city, who spoke iu glowing terms of thc prosperity and fame of Charleston in thc past, and of tho bright prospect now before her, in spite of the darknesa ?nd gloom of the prosent. The band played " Dixie." Thc filth and la?t regular toast was then offered by thc President as follows : W maa-Th c last gift of Cod toman. A rtinis tc:imi ancei pent to seothc tho journey on life's un? certain road ; iu hue. thc sole object of our ancee> iug Veneration. This was responded to by Dr. J. B.

The Land playo I ' Ara I cot fondly thino The President offered tho first vol toast: Ibe Di ilth of al present, Meru beru Mid Guests--May nono be absent oa our ?rauivet 1870, r u? may our venerable pastor and 1 member, with un bated health, occupy customed seat to cheer us with his presen join ii- in our social mirth. This was responded to .briefly by Re Bachman, who alluded to the fact that. 1 been a member of tho society for fift years, aud had always taken au interest affairs. He said hs had a note in hie from Rev. Dr. Hicks, who was in the ex for a few days, and regretted his inabil comply with the kind invitation of the s to bo present on this occasion. Dr. Bachman closed with the following German Industry, German Fidelity, and the and Zeal of tho J.ur.y Reformers-An example guide to their posterity. JohnFickcn, Esq., at thc request of the. deut, offered the health of tho press-s that ho bad hoped that tho toast would been offared at an earlier hour when wtre several representatives of the press out, audit might have been appropriate!; ponded to. He hoped, however, that still present might bo indued to respond ho called upon the representative ol Charleston Courier. Being thus comer? A. Moroso, Esq, one of tho editors o Courier, made a few remarks and offered a tiinent. Loud and repeated calls wore then mac THE DAILY MEWS, and none of (ho editors I present, Lieutenant Burger responded fo paper, thanking the society for the coniplii and hoping that it might always be mei Lieutenant Burger concluded with the fo iuff toast: Charity-1 he angel of hope-the harbingi comtort lo the widow-a salve to tho croki n-h a and a iri nd to those th u moura. lu responso to Soufh Carolina, offorei Colonel Gaillard, Dr. J.

Tho trial of tho p ties charged ns principals and accessories thc Marlin and Randolph murders has b( postponed to tho May term of thc court that circuit. Thc hall of the Houso of Repr?sentatif has boen both tastefully and handsomely dei rated.

T iags arc about six feet by four, and the ca: about four feet. A very beaut ?tul effect is pi duced, and tho Democrats aro particular gratified at tho intermingling of tho two ba ners. Hon. James Augustus Bkck, for sevei years Comptroller-General of tho State, lying seriously ill at his boarding-house iu tl city, and his physicians pronounce his rocove very doubtful. Ho was recently olectcd by tl Democratic party in Abbeville to fill tho vaca cy caused by tho resignation of Valentine, member of tho House ot Repr?sent?t ives. Al Black arrived here last Saturday with bis ci dentials, prepared to take his seat. Ho w aniverbally popular iu this city, and his (line is deeply regretted by all clauses. During the absence of Speaker Moaos to-di at thc Senate, for the purpose of ratifying "i act to establish a State Orphan Asylum," tl member who was temporarily called to tl chair became so tajgled up with motion points of order, tho calling of tho prcvioi question, <fcc, that it was found necessary I dispatch a messenger in all haste, rcqucslin the Spoaker to return, or the Houso would bi come uncontrollable. Tho members scenic determined lo test to tho fullest the parh: mcntary knowledge of tho now presidiug oil ccr, and with such success as to cast ontirel in tho 6hado thc most uproarious meeting c "Old Tammany." On tho reappearance of th Speaker, his omphatio voice and usc of'h gavel toon restored tho usual quiet, with on! hero and lhere a broad grin peic.ptibio upo; tho fucos of nome of Ibo wags, who had playei efl* their joke at the expense of thc r torin uato Speaker oro tempore. Senator Leslie delivered another speech fo day, whieh biought down thc Semite. Hi subject was a bill to chaugo tho county seat o Barnwell County from Barnr.ell Courthouse t< Blackville, S. C. His earnestness ot manne iu speaking, his gestures, his habit of passing Iiis fingers through his hair, aud particular!; his cry at iutervals of "Mr. President," wen altogether too muon for tho usual gravity c. the senators. His speech waa. however, lie iencd to with great pleasure. His chief poin w is that all county seats in this ago s'jotild bi located at tho greatest commoicial centres along the railroad and telegraph lines, and thal tho day was gono by when touuty scats were to be selected simply because somo wayward stream ran through it'or because the Indian had once turned in that direction his quill-adorned moccasin. Barnwell Courthouse, he contend? ed, was established more than fifty years ago, when there were no railroads, and the moment tho railroad was run through that county thc whole tide of bueiuess changed its base. Barn? well Couitbouse, ho said, is dried up, with not life enough to build a chicken-coop. Four tilths of all thc OOtivo capital of the cornily was transacted along the linc of the rued, and urtu dredi ol persons who livo four or five miles nearer to Barnwell than Blackville, always weut to thc latter plac?'to trade. There was now no courihoaic, no-jiii, at Barnwell Courthouse. Both wero destroyed by Hher mau's anny. Thero waa no hotel iu tho place, neither had tt increased one huudrcd inhabitants in thu last twenty years. As fur its ceutial location it was not nearly so central as iiarkley's creek, where sonic desired to havei thu conniy wai, established, but tr ere he would say tb;"t nearly tho only voices heard were those- of thc lugubrious quadruped* c-alied '.bull frogs.1' He showed that he was ue>t per? sonally interested in ?ho change ono tallar, but tiiat with a view to henelit the groat mass of the peoplohc waited this bill passed boforo the county commissioners levied and collected their taxes for tho building ot a courthouse. Look at tiie question as they might, bc said, in this ago it resolves itself into this : that commercial and business centres are political centres, and where tho stearn eu? gine and thc telegraph aro established ibero will be the markets of thc people and inc poli? tical centres ol the surronudiug country. Kol less than six thousand bale s of colton hud been ehipped. he said, hom Blackville this year. It was about midway between a.l tho importaitt places along the hue of lailroad relining through barnwell County. It was i roo that there were a few tine residences at Barnwell Courthouse, the owners or which wero oppos? ed to the change because they thought ti would injure their property. That might or might not be.but one thins was ceri .tin thc gi eat m '.ss oi tho poor people and the busincspceplo would bo benefitted. He had been in favor of submitting the question of a change to the people ot the county, and a bill to that effect had passed tho Senate at the special session, but failed to get through tho House for want of timo. To do so now, they would bave to wait a whole year, and in the meantime the county commissioners would be called upon to levy tuxes to construct a new building. The bill then passed its second reeding without opposition and was ordered to bo en? grossed for a third reading. Swaiis, from tho Committee on the Military, to whom was referred a joint resolution author? izing the Governor to employ an armed for?a for tho preseivation of tho peace, reported back the samo, with a recommendation that the resolution c!o pass.

Thc net profit on the coltoti crop of (he Stato this year would pay oil ovcry d d lar of \ our debt : Perhaps nut the least interesting feature which tho op?rations in Wa I-atreet during the pa.-1 week have presented has been tno brisk inquiry exhibited for Southern Stato honda aud other securities ofthat sectiou, coming large? ly, too, Jicm the people resident thero, reflect ihg as it does tho rapid and positive locoverv oi these State from thu monetary and material de, resaton consequent upon the late war, and, what is equally gratifying iu this connection, tho belief of the pcoplo themselves most af? fected tberebv in sucii recuperation and future prosperity.

Tho school, although but roccntly established, already at? tracts tho attention of the community, and has receivod many assmancos of satisfaction from the parents aud guardians of pupils. As lo thc Homo for Boys, it it regarded as ono of the most comprehensive, far-reaching and benefi? cent charities which bas been extended to the South since our troubles. Wo havo applica? tions from all parts of thc State for admission, and as soon as thc alterations needed in tho Homo, recently purchased for this work, are completed, wo will bo able to moot, to a con? siderable oxtout, this great want of a people, whose chiof sorrow iu their reverses has been the hopelessness of giving their children a res? pectable education. Tho expenses of tho school for Decomber aro : For principal and eleven teachers .?470 00 For Janitor. 20 00 Total.$490 00 The oxnonses of the Home. 657 60 Total.$1017 60 Rr coi ved here ol scholars. 330 00 Leaving balance to ho provided lor.$717 60 Wo have rccoivod moat favorable accounts from the President of Trinity College, Htrt fort?, of the ddigonco and progress of tho young gontlemou who ontorcd Ibero in Sep? tember last from this school. Anotbor youth goes on to entor from this school on tho 19th of January-a youth who has boen with us from tho beginning, who has studied with great iududry and faithfulness, aud has ac? complished in ono year as much as is general? ly dono in two. Tho Baltimore Gazette says: Although tho society has been scarcely a yoar in existence, it is evident that tho gene? rous assistance given by Baltimore and New York has not only been productivo of much real good, but hats given such eucouiagcmont to a disheartened people, that tho school ia al? ready in the way to bo supported by its frionds at and near home. Tho monthly receipts from tho piren ts and friends of scholars already reach an important amount, and as tho condi? tion of tho South continues to improve, it is rory evident that thc citizons ot the diff?rent Southern States will gradually be able to pr?? vido for their own schools. Though gratelful for charitable acts, the people of tho South re? ceive aid bceauso it is a necessity, and they look hopefully forward to the day when thoy will be no longer obliged to ask for it. THE GRIM FEMALE. An Austere Typo or the Modern Betsy Trotwood. I Prom the London Saturday Review.] The grim female must be earfuliy distin? guished from tho masculine women, for they are by no means essentially the same, though the types may run into each other, and some? times do. Bat the masculine woman, if not grim, but onlv Amazonian, has often much that is doo and beautiful iu her, as we see in her great prototype Pallas Athene; but the grim female pur sang is nover noble, never beautiful; and the only moaning of her can? tonee-the only mission she seems sent into tho world to fulfill-is that of serving as a warning to tho young as to what to avoid. Thc grim female ia not necessarily au old maid, os would appear likely at first sight. We find hor i f all conditions indifferently-as maid, wife, widow, as mother and childless alike and we do not find that her condition In any way affects her character. If she is born grim, she remains grim to tho end; and neither mar? riage nor motherhood modifies hor. The grim female of novelists is generally an old maid; but a caricaturo primed in the broa lest fines and from the outsides of things. She is em? phatically au odd woman; odd in her dross, her mode, her state. She wears a flapping cap, skimpy skirts, and rusty brown mittens on her bony bauds; she has a passionate aver? sion to men and matrimony; and she lives queerly behind a barricaded houso door, with a small slavey, or au olderly female afflicted with deafness, to do hoi- work and boar tho' brunt ot her temper. But sho is always odd and imf ishionablo, and unlike everybody oise, and could nover bo mistaken for au ordinary wninaii, from tho first moment when elie ap? pears on thu page to the last paragraph of hor existcnce. Ono cnaractoristic of tho grim female is hor want ot any ol tho womanly passion for chil? dren. Sho may have so much maternal in? stinct perverted as to bo on friendly terms with a dog or two, or a cat, or maybe a cocka? too; but sho has no ro.il affection for children, no comprehension of child nature, aud tho '.sublime nonsense" of the nursery U a thing unknown lo her from first to last. If she hus chi.drei: of her owu, she treats them in a bord wooden way that has nothing of tue ideal mother about it. Hence sho is ono to whom tho present generation is undeniably worse than thu past, ono who groans over the follies aud shortcomings of tho limes, aud who thinks that good conduct died out with her own youth, and that it is not likely, by the look of things, to be restored. In fact, youth itself is the root and basis of offence; and if she coerces chil? dren, sho tyrannizes over girls and snobs young men with a quito impartial baud. Tho grim female is not necossurily a strong raiudod woman, or a loamed woman, like thoso who wear spectacles, go to scientific meo tings, and are great in tho classics ann tho 'elogies. Sae miy be of the emancipated class; it all do.ieads ou ch >nce; and a grim female, when ot thu emancipated, is a very formidabio per? son indeed; but sho is uot necessarily one of tucse. On the contrary, part of her very grim? ness comes from her intense conservatism and uucom l'uinisiug eon ve it iouality. Notion? so abjorrmit to her a i innovation or novelty in any shape. She doo i no: ho d with any ouo out of tho "i. arru west groove of respectaba b? .i Ia, iu what direction shover ibo diverging hue may g >. A RoniauiBt or a Baptist, a Jew or au infidel, it is ait oue to hor; euell is equal? ly dreadful lo h r, and oternoilj f.-redojiued. Soo is tho Crib, mox Church, w.tliout ia' laU; as far removed hom Ritualism as sue is from ranting, and demanding for herself that infallibility of judgment and aboo.utc posses? sion of the traill vv.iicu ?he domes to the Pope and all hts cardinals. Beware how you broach new doctrines in hor pro -cue. She has been known before now lo abjure her nearest rela? tives for uo greater in ?ral lapse than a weak bjlietin globule.-; wilde as tor auythiug like graver aberrations, say on tho ape theory or on tim plurality ot races, or on historical re? ligion. she baa no toleration whatever. If tho Smithfield fires i usted ut the present day. the grim iouvilo would ba tho first to ii.-ut tho iagois. lt is all the same if sho belongs to any dissenting puisuastou, part of her grimaces coming hom uer intolerance, ana her own be? liefs being simply thc springboard on which she s.ands. ibo gnni femalo (ric3 her strength with all new-coiners. She is like one of tho giants or black knights of oil romance, who lived io castles or caves, whence Mey pounced liue tigers on all passers-by. and either wrung their necks it they conquered, or retreated howling if discomfllted. Tina is wlia* th-j grim female docs in her degree. Shs dashes ba all who arma as tbs first act of the new drama. If her opponents yield ont of timidity or good breed? ing, or perhaps, from not understanding the warlike nature of the encounter, she puts her foot on them forthwith, aud ignominiously crushes them; if they defy her, and give her back blow for blow, ten to one she cuts them, and becomes their enemy forever after. For she has not breadth enough to be magnani? mous, and the one thing she never forgives is successful opposition. Very grim is she in the presence ot human weakness, moral and phy? sical. A grim female has no mercy. She may be just, but if she is so it is in a hard, uncompro? mising way that makes her justice worse than others partiality. For justice can be sad, even if unwavering; and the grim female is never ead, how painful soever the work on hand and tho sentence to be executed. Neither is she gay; for she is not plastic enough to be either the one or tbe other. She is run into an iron mould where her nature is compress? ed as in a vice, no bursting of bonds anyhow. What would become of us if all our women were lake her? When wo look at her, we are inclined to for? give all the smallness and silliness which some? times vex us in the ordinary woman, and to think that there are worse things than the love of drees for which we so often reproach our wives add daughters; that fliilmg-which is reprehensible no doubt-might be ex? changed for some thing even moro reprehensi? ble; and that vanity of tho giggling, coquet? tish kind, though to be steadily discouraged and sternly reproved, is not quite the worst feminine thing ifter all. Surely not 1 A grim female who cannot flirt nor giggle, nor cry and kies and make up when scolded, is far away a worse kind of thing than a feather headed little pu-s who ie always doing wrong by reason other foolish brain, but who mana? es somehow to pull herself right because of er loving heart. Weak women, vain women, affected womon and the whole class of silly women, whatever the specialty of silliness ex? hibited, aro tiresome enougb, heaven knows; but unsatisfactory as they are, they are better than tho grim female-that woman of no BOX, born without softness or sympathy, and living without pity and without lovo. pipping. s KW YORK AND CHARLESTON STEAMSHIP LINK.
