Even the Lords cannot save them, but must submit to the demands of the people. -A dispatch from Washington to tho New York Tribune says: "The Associated Press dispatch relating to the Republican Congress of Cuba declaring for annexation is discredited here. It is known that there is a strong p arty among the patriots in favor of independence, and that, by general consent, the idea of an? nexation has not been considered an open question. Cuban agents here have universal? ly affirmed that the object of the revolution was to effect the separation from Spain, leav? ing the annexation project to settle itself when the island was free. Thore bas been no coir coalment of a belief that, Cuban independence won, annexation to the United States would follow, solicited by the free votes of the Cu? bans themselves. The great effort Of the pa? triot leaders has been to prevent tbe agitation of this subject. Quesada, reported elected, genoral-in-chief, is an avowed annexation!st alter independence has been secured. C?s? pedes has been placed at tho head of the re? publican government. Advices received by way of Florida indicate the safe arrival within the patriot lines of a vessel from New York loaded with arms and munitions. It is sup? posed to be tho Grapeshot." -An intensely ritualistic service, commemo? rative of the "Guild of the Holy Cross," was performed at Christ Church, Kew York, on Monday. The church was dark, with the ex? ception of the altar and chancel, whioh were brilliantly illuminated with gas and wax can? dles. Four lofty wax candles lighted up the altar - and a cross above it. As tho services opened with a voluntary and ohant, a proc?s-, sion of the choir, clergy, officers and fellows of the Guild, preceded-by a little boy bearing a cross, entered from the veo try, clad in gowns and chasubles of black, red and blue, trimmed with white, gray and red and a white cross on the breast. The procession passed down the side and up the middle aisle, the members of the Guild occupying the centre pews. The service was as follows: The Litany; a voluntary on the organ; a second procession of priests in gor? geous vestments, preceded by the cross and two wax candles carried by little boys; the communion service; the Commandments inton? ed and responses by the choir; the Epistle of the day; a hy.nn; the Gospel of the day, chant? ed by a priest; the Offertory; communion ser? vice and administration ct the sacrament in the following order: The clergy; the choir: tho officers and fellows of tho Guild, vested and unvested; the religious; tho men; the women. An address by ono of the clergy was followed by a hymn, which closod tho servioos. -The New York correspondent of tho Pb ila delphia Ledger, writing on Tuesday, thus re? fers to the reported sailing of an expedition from that port for Cuba : "An expedition for; Cuba, numbering one hundred pioked men, left this port at three o'clock this afternoon, in a coasting steamer, which is known to have been quietly taking on board a large quantity Of arms and ammunition, at the foot of Chris? topher-street, North River, dining the past week or ton days.. Each man is provided with a rifle and uniform. The report is that the ex? pedition is the handiwork of the Cuban Junta in this city. The United States marshal was notified of these facts this morning. He tele? graphed them at once to Secretary Fish, and asked for instructions, but with what result cannot be ascertained at this writing. As far as I oan ascertain, there are but ten Americans among the party, all the rest being Cubans, with the exception of six negroes. Their destination is Dead Man's Island, one of the Florida Keys, and after debarking there, it is their intention to make for the Cuban coast in small boats. The voyage, it is said, can be made in four hours. The whole number of rifles on board is said to be ?boot five hun? dred. The stern of the steamer was covered np with canvas as long as she laid at the Christopher-atroet wharf, so that her name was not visible to the public gase. The news of the departure of the expedition creates a lively sensation about town. Many are apprehen? sive that it will be overhauled by seme of the numerous Spanish men-of-war in the Ci uti be? fore it roaches itu objective point. It is said that tbo United States authorities herc have winked at tbie movemont, which was no seorot to some of the marshal's doputics; but whether this allegation is just or otherwise, timo and inquiry will show. Meanwhito, the organ of the Juuta, La Devolution, is out in a very bit? ter article with reference to tho policy of tho United Htat s." -Tho Now York Commercial Advertiser say* that a proposition for the relief of tho Americans sufferers by the deprodations of the Alab.ima and other anglo-Confederate priva? teers is noa receiving tho careful considera? tion of the Presidont, tho members ol C e Cabi? net and leading Congressmon. It involves the passage of a law at the commencement of the session of Congress, in Deoember next, autho? rizing the appointment of a commission to andit and pass upon all American claims against England for damagos sustained by violation or evasion of the neutrality laws during tbo recent civil war. The United States Government will thou assume theso claims, and presont them in a single item in the aouuuut agaiunt Great Britain with a demand for immediate restitution. In oase of a refusal, ulterior measures will be adopted which it is believed will bo backed by tho entire American peopio. This course is calculated to obviate the almost interminable delays whioh usually attend tho settlement of olaims against foreign governments. Many of the Alabama claimants are poor, and according to precedent, many of them may be reduced to bankruptcy or death, before tboir just olaims can be settled. The President is known to fully recognize their olaims to the protection of the government, and is anxious to present the matter in a tangible shape to tho British authorities. These views are also shared by \ General Shonnan. CHARLESTON. SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 8, 1869. Tile May Election?. Under the proclamation of Governor Soott, dated April 19, 1869, the following eleotions of oounty officers will take plaoe on May 251 h : In tho County of Abbeville, two county com? missioners and a coroner. In tho County of Anderson, a school com? missioner and a coroner. In the County of Barnwell, a county commis? sioner and a school commissioner. In the County of Chester, a coroner. In the Oounty of Chesterfield, a coroner. In the County of Colleton, a judge of tho pro? bate court and a ooroner. lu the County of Darlington, a clerk of the oourt of oommou pleas and a coroner. " In tho County of Edgefiold, a coroner. In tba County of Fairfield, a judge Of tho probate court, a coroner and a county com missioner. In tho Count y of Georgetown, two ct?unty commissioners and a coroner. In tho County of Dorry, a county oonvmis missioner. In the County of Kershaw, a oounty com? missioner and a coroner. In the County of Laurens, a school commis? sioner and a coroner. In the County of Lexington, a oounty com? missioner and a ooroner. In the oounty of Orangeburg, a school com? missioner and a coroner. In the County of Oconee, a ooroner. In the County of Picken u, a ooroner. In the County of Richland, a school com? missioner and a ooroner.. In the County of Sumter, a ooroner. In the County of Union, a ooroner. ? In the County o' York, a oounty commis? sioner and a ooroner. These offices are important, because of the powers entrusted to the persons who hold them, in matters of eduoation and oo?nty taxation Upon the way in whioh these offices are filled will depend, in a ' great degree, whether our looal affairs are conducted with the ^jftw of scouring the most benefit at the least cost, or for the i purpose of stirring up antagonism of raoe and filling the pockets of officials. Strictly speaking, there is no political question in? volved in the eleotions. Intelligence, hon? esty and respectability are the only quali? fications whioh should be demanded of the oandidates, and the men who possess them should bo supported by Democrat and Ile publican alike. The Radicals may, as usual, oraok their whip and denounce every oandidate who is not black in the face or blaok in the heart. If they do this, the attempt should still be made to show their poor dupes that it is to their interest to have every public office filled by capable and trustworthy persons. This may fail, and a square stand-up fight for the election of the best men will be the only resource, as it is oortainly the simplest. Let as now drive the entering wedge. Let ns prove that we are resolved to have a word to say when our money is to be spent .nd oar property taxed. Let us show Rad? icalism that henceforth no office, however small, shall fall into the hands of ignorance and vice without a hard and persistent struggle. By persevering, by seising every opportunity of eleoting a good officer in the place of a bad one, we can, in the coarse of the next two years, revolutionize the whole State and local government. This can be doa*. It ia aa object worth striving for, and the first step to be made is in car? rying the May elections. Forney on Flgvrea. Forney says of Governor Scott, of tbie State: "The bonds that were selling at 28 "cents on the dollar,when he took possession, "ere now worth from 56 to 57:" The truth is that old State bonds were 65 to 67 on the day of Scott's inauguration, ?nd were qaoted yesterday at 74, which is about 30 per eent. less than their value when the State gov? ernment wes in responsible hands. Ferney says of the late lamented Mayor Clark : "The eity debt of Charleston was .five mil "lions when the present Mayor woe elected, "and ita securities have risen from 88 to ? 68." Thia also is wide of the mark; fer the prioo of city stock when Mayor Clark was inaugurated woe 46 to 48. - a >? asa ?* Sj ?

Oon AIM? correspondent ia informed that according to the proclamation of Gov? ernor Booti, one sohool commissioner sud one oounty commissioner for Barnwell County will bo sleeted on tho 25th #ay. Oold for Cotton. Wo print, this morning, au article on the subject of tho movement originated in Mo? bile, to demand payment in gold for al) cot? ton hereaftor Bold in the South. The subject is one-an the writor well says-of the gravest consequence to our people, and we trust that it will be pondered and dis? cussed in all its bearings by those who op? pose the plan, as well as by those who give it their approval. Our columns will, as far as possible, be thrown open for this pur? pose. The Western Grain Trade. The West is in a ferment just now over the question whether wheat Bhall bo car? ried from St. Louis down the Mississippi and thence by sea to Europe and New York, or sent by rail and oanal via Chioago and, Buffalo to New York. The St. Louis mer? chants have it very muoh at heart to rival or surpass Chioago as a shipping point for grain, and they figure out that they oan move it to New Orleans for less than IO oents a bushel, whereas it ooBts 32} oents per bushel to move it from Chioago to Now j York. Therefore they argue they oan afford I to pay the difi?renos between IO oents and 32} oents for grain, and thus divert it alto [ gethor from its present channel to New York via Chioago. New York, however, is enlisted with Chioago in having the grain seek its market by the present route, and the New Yorkers are debating how to cheapen transportation, so as to oompete with the Mississippi line. Some of the New York papers seem inolined in tho emer? gency to favor the Ruskin idea that no rail? road or canal should ever deolare dividends, but that these moans of transportation should be controlled by government so that con? sumers need pay no more than the bare oost of carrying products from one part of the country to another. There oertainly s?ems to be something wrong ia the faot, that one-third of the prioe of wheat should be consumed in getting it to market. Reviews? Two LIFE PATHS : By L. Muhlbacb. New York: D. Appleton St, Co. Charleston : John Bus? sell. Frico 60 corns. This book is built upon what is familiarly known aa the New York Lodger p?an, exoept that virtue is not rewarded, nor vice satisfac? torily punished. There are two heroines. No. 1 is a living lie and cheat and prospers amaz? ingly. No. 2 leads a life of agony and moral martyrdom, and in the end is so overcome by the consciousness that right cannot make its way in this wicked world of sin that her only resource is unmitigated suicide. Miss Muhl bach's stories of King and Kaiser ore dreary enough, but they aro moro amns:nsr than this compound of twaddle, bathos and hacknled sensation. BLACK FOREST VILLAGE STORIES : By Auerbach.
