Per? haps that " little business - which occupied just ten minutes" did'nt turn out happily. At any rate, this is a bit of his recent sarcasm : "The bold, direct way in which Grant incited to bis Cabinet the men who had mado him handsome presents, and lien put all his relatives in of? fice, took fro ul the transaction any suspicion of a wrong intent. It was onjy laughable." -Commander F. S. Fillebrown, of tho United States steamer Narragansett, reports under date of the 7th, instant, from Havana, th? particulars of tw.i passengers, Cubans, having been taken out of the American schoon? er Lizzie Major, ton leagues from the coast of -Qafca haJ?uJAa??if^ frifni?? Fm-naudo Oat.nl i ca, ana imprisoned. The two persons were named D. Santiago A. Anible and Don Ramon Y. Raivas. It seems that they took passage in the Lizzie Major at ^avana for New Orleans. The schooner touched t Remedios, took in a cargo, and sailed on the 26th of March fer her destination. She was boarded the same day by the Spanish frigate, as above stated. The prisoners were carried back to Remedios and incarcerated. One of them is a lad of about ten years of age. They were visited in prison by Mr. Stone, United States Consular agent at that point, who made a demand on the Commandant of the Province for their re? lease; who did not feel authorized to release thora, without orders from his superiors. The ?ase having been made known to Mr. Hall, United States Consul General at Havana, he bas brought it to the attention of the Captain General of Cuba, who has ordered a thorough investigation to be made, .'ho ground of the arrest is said to be that the names of the pas? sengers were not on the manifest of the schooner. ' -The foreign Dominations as a whole are Haid to be very UQsatisfactory to the 8enate, although party fealty will secure their confir? mation. Mr. Jay's assignment to Vienna is regarded as a first-rate second-rate sort of com? pliment, and his friends are the reverse ot well pleased, except as to the small thankfulness with which commensurate favors are received. .Mr. Jay bas amassed a large fortune, and has acquired the reputation of a good deal of cul? ture. Moreover, he directly r< presents a deal of subscription and the whole of the Loyal League. His claims were rated high, and they . are felt not to have been duly rewarded. The aupersedure of Henry Sanford at Brussels by the unknown J. Bussell Jones, of Illinois, made great consternation in tho Senate. "Who is -Jones?" took the place of the conundrum, .*rWho.is Borie?" and in every instance it was given np. There is a likelihood of Pile de C&ntag to go to Venezuela. Clay, to Liberia, and Bassett, to Hay ti, are two negroes, one of Louisiana and the color of au old saddle; the other of Philadelphia and a genuine black. They are said to be men of ability and wealth. The nomination of ex-Senator John S. Z. Car? lisle, of West Virginia, to be minister-resident at Stockholm, is to Radicals a decided surprise, to say thc least. He is regarded as a cautious conservative, and bis party status can be un? derstood from tho fact that bo was a fair Demo? crat while senator from that State. Governor Cnrtin's going to St. Petersburg is commented upon merely as a proximate initiation of his? tory. -The Philadelphia press gives the following account of the experiments on the body of Gerald Eaton, who was hanged last week for morder: Arrangements were made by the friends of the condemned to have an effort made to resuscitate tho body. Accordingly, a committee appointed for the purpose were in waiting at the prison at the time of the execu? tion, and the body, wrapped in blankets, was brought to the university. The drop was four feet; tbe cord around bis neck was a small one. He hang by his neck thirty min?tes, and there -were sis,..s ot life only four minutes after the drop. Ten minutes after being cut down, he was placed upon the table in the amphitheatre, the time elapsing from the execution being forty-four minutes. Six ounces of whiskey were injected into tho bowels, and one gallon of pore oxygen gas was forced into the lungs, - and a powerful galvanic buttery applied to tho medalla oblongata and the pit ct the stomach. At the same time tho tongue was withdrawn from the month, and the body turned from side io side, after the method of Marshall Hall, for .artificial respiration. In four or five minutes a marked change occurred in the countenance; the chest gradually expanded, the eyes opened, one arm was drawn np, and, by meant of a stethoscope, contractions and dilatations of tl heart wero distinctly heard. So evident wc: thc sizos of lifo (hat his friends exulted ov thc fact that ho really lived. Another gallon oxygon was introduced into thc lungs, and tl battery was charged so that the cur entpass? thc entire length of the spine, and the arti dal respiration continued. For a few momen thv signs of life increased, but in a short tin disappeared. Nitrous oxido gas was inject? into ihe lungs by an artificial opening into tl trachea, made by Professor Duffee, but sll no purpeso, and at the expiration of one hoi and twenty-five minutes tbe experiment cease and tbe body was banded over to the friend CHARLESTON. SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 17, 1869. Tbe Ever Faithful Isle. The Cuban insurrectionists have, aocon inr; to the New York Tribune, become ma tere of at least three-fifths of the area the Island of Cuba, and from the same rel able source we learn that the control of tl Spaniards over the remainder is in jeej ardy. The insurrectionists have an orgai ized semi-military government, supporte by an army of forty thousand men in tl field, which could easily be doubled in nun bers if arms and equipments could be hat This sounds well, and is echoed and ri echoed by the metropolitan and provincii press. It is a fine thing surely to sympathi; with a nation struggling to be free. There a flattering unction in the reflection that eac public meeting and each leading article ? a blow on the side of liberty. And in vie of the historic fact that the American Rac ical is an ingenuous and disinterested mo: tal, who has never oppressed others or tie thongs to the whip of military tyranny, is pleasant to hear these cries of sympath with Coba and with Crete, these appeals t the government to recognize the Cuba rebels, all these hints that the officers c the United States should wink at the expe anions which are being fitted oat to ai> struggling Coba. It is true that Cuba is 1 province of Spain, and that, according t international law, the United States havi not one tithe of the right to recognize thi Cubans as belligerents that England ant France had to recognize the Confedera!* Slates. But who cares now for principle Who cares for the right or the wrong of i when the question is to unshackle the hu man race, and at one fell swoop establisl unqualified negro equality ? This is the secret of the friendliness 0 the Northern Radicals to the Cuban insur rectionists. The Democratic presses giv< the insurrection their support because the] know that the Spaniards ire treating theil prisoners, and those who are euspeoted 0 giving countenance to the rebellion, with t bloody brutality which no Valley raider 01 spoon peculator could surpas?; and also perhaps, because they are willing that th< Gem of the Antilles should fall into the laj of the Union, so that the Radicals may have s new and distant field in whioh to practice thc arts of profitable reconstruction. But thc anchor whioh prevents the Radical ship from breaking away from its moorings ie what the Tribune calls the "moral value" of the unmistakable position whioh thc uuoans nota in taking as their purpose "thc "policy of emancipation and fall enfran? chisement of all their oit ?zens. " ? We of the South had thought that a Car? olina cotton field was an earthly paradise when oompared with a Coban sugar plan? tation, and we have, so far, no great faith in the moral value of emancipation coupled with the right to vote. The freed? men of the South have shown no capacity for self-government, and have fallen a prey to the oily tongues and winning ways of the political negro traders. Southern freed? men were, at the time of their emancipa? tion, more intelligent and more capable of improvement than are the Cuban negroes, and yet the Southern freedmen are very far from being able to take good care of them? selves/ or to make just laws for the benefit of themselves and others. It seems, however, that there ia a virtue in ignorance. Because he was illiterate and dull, the Southern negro reoeived the highest privileges whioh a man may enjoy. There was to be security for himself in his very want of knowledge, and security for others in his very stupidity. There has been some little jarring of the machinery, some sign that a fool who possesses power may soon become a knave. But the Radi? cal phrty is a party of great moral ideas, and th9 more besotted and barbarous the Coban negroes may be, the more will Radi? calism applaud the revolution whioh dares to Bet them free. We have of course no fondness for Spain; but on the other hand we cannot but feel that Cuba might be more prosperous under the yoke of Spain than under the role of half a million negroes enjoying the right to hold office and the right to vote. What we desire is the freedom of Cuba, not its subjection to the role of the. negro; and we fear that the Cubans, in bidding high for Radical sympathy, forget what is nec? essary for their own safety, and embrace on unnatural doctrine whioh, if persevered in, will debase them and their people, and lead to the speady ruin of thc "Ever Blessed "Isle." The South Carolina Central Railroad. We print, this morning, the proceedings of a public meeting, held in Manning, on Monday last, to take into consideration the building of the railroad from Gourdin's to Sumter, of whioh we have spoken more than once before. The meeting seem to have taken a practi? cal view of the business before them, and we pres?me that by the time of the adjourn ed meeting, to be held next month, the oommittee will have made substantial pro? gress in obtaining subscription! to the cap? ital of the road. They who cannot sub ? scribe money can subscribe land. They who cannot give either money or land eau lake contracts for grading, ditching, or famishing sills and ties, payment to be made in sto~k. We believe that the road will be of great benefit to Chaxleston, aB well as to the dis? tricts through which it passes and to the Northeastern Railroad. We hope, there? fore, that it will be encouraged on all sides and receive a hearty and Liberal support. Kev lews. PREHISTORIC NATIONS; or Inquiries Concerning some ot' tho Great Peoples and Civilizations of Antiquity, and their Probable Relations to a still Older Civilization of the Ethiopians or Cushites of Arabia. By uno. D. Baldwin, A. AI. New York : Harper & Brothers. Charles tou : Holmes' Book House. Mr. Baldwin has undertaken a difficult task the construction of a history from the legends, idolatries and monuments of the primeval nitione. In that vast cloud-land, where tho morning light of civilization arose and whence its magical rays have not yet wholly disap? peared, ho undertakes to distinguish reality from romance. He believes that in the Cush? ites be has discovered tho first world explorers, or at least tho first world conquerors-the art? ists of the antique rock sculptures and the cyclopean walls, the priests from whom Egypt derived its inspiration, tho circumnavigators of Africa, tho metal workers of Spain and Britain, the teachers of the Ase of Bronze, whoso traditions and even whoso arts still linger in the Indi.a Archipelago, in Arabia, in the heart of Africa, and among tho lonely valleys of Pern. The author's confideace in his theory is boundless, and his industry in collecting corroborative facts is equal to his enthusiasm. The result is a volume oracular, garrulous, entertaining-intolerant of Ushor and orthodoxy, deferential to Renan, and ro? mantic aud scientific incredulity. Unfortu? nately, the facts in the volume are selected, not sifted. Any authority bas value which supports the theory of the book; thus Diodo rus Siculus is allowed to testify to events which occurred before the bounding of Baby? lon. Mr. Baldwin has endeavored to repro? duce the primordial past after a method which casts contempt upon the well established prin? ciples of historical criticism. He has not trav? ersed much ground; he has collected many cu? rious antiques; bathe mu3t strike deeper if j he would bring to fight the buried secret of the ages. THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, at the meet? ing held yesterday, authorized the Presi? dent, Robert Mure, Esq , to appoint ten j delegates to represent the Chamber in the Commercial Convention, which meets in Memphis on May 18th.
