* r VOLUME VII.-NUMBER 1157. SIX DOLLARS A YEAR XE WS FEOX WASHJXGTON. A Cabinet Meeting and What waa Done-The Hornet not 'to be Releas? ed-The Policy of President Grant Cheering News from Ohio, ?Sec., &c. [SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THU NEWS.] 6 WASHINGTON", October 5. Thi-re was a full and important Cabinet meeting to-day, to consider the subject of the, ?? seizure of the Cuban privateer Hornet. Some of the Secretaries favored her release, but it was finally decided that her case came clearly within the scope of the neutrality laws, an* that she most be detained. The Spanish Minister is highly elated to-night at the re? sult of the conference. It has been ascertained from authentic sources, and may be definitely stated, that the following are the views, in substance, enter? tained by the President, and sure to be car' ried'out by the administration, with reference to the questions involved. The shipment of anns and munitions of war to either party en? gaged in tte Cuban struggle is not prohibited The ^evolutionists have an equal right to buy and ship arras with the Spaniards. It is upon the fitting out of naval or -military expeditions that the neutrality laws operate. It is an en tire mistake to suppose that the United States officers have ever been instructed to stoff the a shipment of merchandise, even though it be in ' the form of articles contraband of war. The owners and masters of vessels must in all cases take their own risk. But if any expedition, whether of armed men or of armed vessels, or if any vessel fitted out and intended for naval warfare, is started from our ports, then the question of our duty as neutrals, or as a friendly power arises; and even if we had acknowledged the independence of Cuba, our duty and our rule could be no dur?rent until we had directly and publicly espoused one side of the quarrel by making war upon the other. A special dispatch from the office of the Cin? cinnati Enquirer says that the returns from the Ohio canvass show that the election of the Hon. George H. Pendleton as Governor is now certain, by a larger majority than the most sanguine of his friends had anticipated. The Recant Panie in Gold-Statements of the President-Audacity of Flak, Jr. [FROM TBS ASSOCIATED PRESS.] WASHINGTON, October 6. As comments have been made in the news? papers affecting the administration in connec "~ tlon with the recent gold panic, and much in? terest ls expressed on the subject, the Wash? ington agent of the Associated Press called upon the President to ascertain whether there was any foundation for the insinuation or di? rect charges against the administration. The President conversed with the utmost frankness on the subject, and said he had not thought proper to publicly contradict the statements concerning himself, as he had done noth? ing whatever to influence the money market or to afford any advantages to private parties. While in New York he had many voluntary ad? viser*, but he repeatedly said to them that the administration always held itself in a position t<f act as it seemed best, and free to make any change of policy for the public interest In the course oT conversation he Btated that, while on the eve of going to Newport, James Fisk, Jr., came on board the steamer at New York' and said to the President that Gould hai sent him down to ask that he would privately give them a little intimation as to what the administration was going to do on the financial question. The President replied that the giving of such information would not be fair, and asked Fisk whether he did not think so himself. Fisk admitted it would not be fair. The President then Informed him that, whenever the adminis? tration1' was going to change its action or policy, the Secretary of the Treasury would give notice through the newspapers as usual, so that everybody might, at the same time, know what it was, thus excluding any possible charge of favoritism. On the morning of the panic, Friday week, Secretary Bootwell com? municated to the President the situation of affairs in New York, when the President said; "sell $5,000,000 of gold." The Secretary said that he had come for the purpose of sugges? ting a sale of $3,000,000, the idea of selling gold thus appearing to be in the mind of each at the same time. A few minutes thereafter the order was telegraphed to New York to sell four millions of gold. It may be repeated that the President had informed no one whom soever of the purposes of the administration on financial subjects, and the same remark is equally true as to the Secretary of the Trej 8ury. There was a full Cabinet meeting today, but no developments have leaked "but. - The Supreme Court met, but there was no quorum. The court will probably hear the Yerger habeas corpus on Friday.

The Legislature convened at noon. There was a Aili attendance. In the House a tempo? rary organization was effected by the election of William McLaughlin, of Rockbridge County, speaker, and H. G. Jones,- ol' Albemarle, clerk. The House adjourned until to-morrow, when permanent oflicers will be elected.

Both parties bold a caucus to-night, the Wells men to prepare their, ticket tor speaker. General D. B. White, who was nominated for that position last night being objectionable to General Butler (having challenged him when in this city.) has withdrawn, and the tlckei will be changed to-night. The Wells Republi? cans ran a regular nominated ticket for offi? cers in the Senate to-day, which received six votes. There Is little talk about senators to? day in view of the more immediate interest in the choice of speaker by the Walker men in caucus to-night. Robert Douglass, private secretary to Presi ' dent Grant, is in the city to-day. THE CUBAN PRIVATEER. WILMINGTON, Octobers. This morning the case of the Cuban priva i teer was carried before General Allan Ruther J ford, United States Commissioner of the Dis ! trict of Cape Fear. Judges Person and French appeared for the government, and Geo. Davis, 'Esq., and Judge 0. P. Meares for the defend? ants. The parties were arraigned on the charge that they did accept and exercise a commission to serve a foreign people in war, to wit: the people of Cuba against the people of Spain, a country" with which the United States are at peace, and did fit out and arm, or did procure to be fitted fitted out. and armed within the limits of the United States, a certain ship or vesel called the Cuba, with intent that the said vessel shall be employed in the service of the people of Cuba to cruise and commit hostilities against the people of Spain, and did enlist and serve on board of said vessel, with intent to cruise and commit hostilities against the people of Spain, in violation of the statutes of the United States, and the acts of Congress of April 20, 1810. The government pressing the matter, the parties were not feqdired to give bonds for their appearance, but were placed in the custody of the United States Marshal, Neff, who released them on parole on their personal as? surance that they would not attempt to leave. The counsel for the government made the point that the vessel had been fitted out in the United States, as charged in the indictment, to cruise and commit hostilities against a government with which the United States are at peace, and to make it a prima facie case they asked for a continuance to allow time to secure the presence of witnesles for the government from New York and Wash? ington. Counsel for the defendants opposed the motion for continuance, contending that the United States had no right to hold them as the vessel was commissioned by a regular? ly organized government, the Republic of Cuba; that she put into Smithville in distress, and that it was contrary to the laws of nations to detain her. Commissioner Rutherford de decided that lt was a prima facie case, and granted the government until Monday, the 11th instant, at ll o'clock, to produce wit? nesses. EFFECT8 OF THE STORM. TROT, N.

[FROM O?R OWN CORRESPONDENT.] COI.LETON, S. C., Monday, October 4. The Charleston District Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, began its session with the usual religious services, at Indian FieldB Camp Ground, Colleton County, on Thursday, September 30th, and was organ? ized with the Presiding Elder of the district, Rev. A. M. Chrletzberg, in the chair. B. Stokes, delegate from Walterboro' Circuit, was elected secretary. The names of the delegates from the various circuits and stations were enrolled, and they were accredited as members of the Conference. The chairmen of the various reg? ular committees were announced, and after motions and resolutions preliminary to the regular business, the meeting adjourned its session for the day. On Friday morning the Conference resumed its session, Rev. A. M. Chrletzberg in the chair, who announced the regular committees. Re? ports from the pastors ot the various charges in the district were made. These reports were interesting, furnishing as they did evidences of the increased vitality of religion in the church. Pending the hearing of these reports, Bishop Wightman appeared and took his seat as chairman of the Conference. The election of lay delegates to the next session of thc South Carolina Annual Conference ni mode the order of the day for the4 afternoon session. In the afternoon session the election was entered into, with the following result : Dele? gates-Dr. A. E. Williams, Hugo G. Sheridan. Francis J. Pelzer and S. W. Williams. Alter. natcs-J. S. Funches. Daniel Knight, B. Stokes and J. S. Murray. The Saturday morning session, with the Bishop in the chair, was occupied with hear? ing reports from the various committees. The report of the Committee on Education, by Rev. J. R. Pickett, chairman, was read. Pro. fessor Duprcc, of Wofford College, being in? troduced by the Bishop, gave a highly interest? ing address, showing the origin and progress of that institution of learning, the high grade of scholarship demanded for its honors, and the determination of its faculty to keep it abreast of any in the land, proving that while it was a denominational college it was not sec? tarian-some of its recent graduates entering the ministry In other churches, uninfluenced in their predilections by any advice of the fac? ulty. The address of thc chairman of the com? mittee was of a highly interesting and in? structive character, evincing his thorough ac? quaintance with bis subject and his ability to deal with it in a masterly manner. The report on Ministerial Support was read by Hugo G. Sheridan. This was a paper of real ability, and the subject treated in a manner highly creditable to the committee, for the valuable suggestions offered. The evils growing out of a secularized ministry were forcibly set fofth; the Divine appointment clearly exhibited that those "that preach the Gospel should live of the Gospel," and charged any failure In this direction to the want of vital piety'ln the offici? ary whose business lt ls to care for the min? istry. The reports of Committees on the State of the Church, on Sunday Schools, on Mis? sions, on Temp?rance, on Legal Tenure of Church Property, on Pastoral Relations, on Church Literature were severally read and adopted. These papers were productions of high excellence and rare merit, and were re? plete with interest to the entire church. The place for the next Conference having been fixed at Providence Camp Ground, the present session adjourned sine die. A MODEL MEETING. Caffte at a Township Meeting-The Why and "Wherefore of a Burying G round-Divers Radical? Explain their Position. ? ? . [FROM AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT. ] ORANGEBTRG, S. C., October 4. May I trouble you with an account of Hie last meeting of Zion Township, Orangeburg District, or, rather "Keounty,'" so-called? The meeting was for the purpose of deciding whether there should be a township burying ground or not. Very early on the morning of Thursday last, Cuffee, with a few of his white brethren, and some of thc respectability of the township, had assembled for the purpose. I had no Idea Sambo was in so much earnest? ness about a place to be burled ; but as hin forty acres and a mule have not appeared yet, he seems to have given up all hopes In that di? rection and whittled down his agrarian ideas to six by three. The meeting bade fair to be a quiet one indeed, until one of the property holders opposed it on the ground that there were enough burying-grounds already, when several darkies, In long speeches, told of "rebs who had been planting cotton and corn over de dead bodies of de great colored race;" that "de white man felt very little Interest, as da was stabllshed in de land by the labor of dat mighty people; but how would lt bc when de colored foax owned de lan, den de poor white man would want a place to ho buried." About this time a white man, "so-called," fol? lowed with what he called a speech, less sen? sible, by far, than the speeches of the ne? groes who had preceded him. But to make the matter short, Cuffee got the land and no mule, when the meeting came to a close. Just before this, a carriage came up with a ma? hogany colored individual, one white man, and an unadulterated negro, who pretended that they understood * there was a mass meet? ing of the citizens, and had come to make speeches. So they began to speak-mahogany colored taking thc lead. Il seemed he was alarmed, fearing that votes would be lost by heavy taxation, &c, but Sambo was soon satisfied on that subject, when he was told that the tax was to pay for the cor? ruption of their former miers, who had squandcreed the public money, Ac. Next the white man followed, giving a history of him? self and great ancestors, who all no doubt fought, bled and died for republicanism; but he forgot to say that he wished Seymour and Blair elected, and wrote a letter to a Demo-" eratic club that he was a Democrat, (at the same time being a candidate on the Radical ticket.) This part of his history his friend and brother has not been Informed of. His purpose at the meeting was to define his position, as certain articles in the papers had made him unpopu? lar. This was very easily accomplished by telling them of your statement of the cotton crop of 1868, in which an estimate of the num? ber of dollars per head waa given. The ques? tion was asked: "Did you get your share?" "No !" "no !" was the reply from his sable au? dience. No doubt he thinks he has a claim himself. I trust in God there is a day of reckoning ahead-the pollticul i ot ha < already boiled to its highest, asd the scum is being thrown over. REBELUS. WHAT IS BO IX O IX FLORENCE. So News Good News-The Crops-How thc Negroes Work-Health of the Sec? tion-Slander Salt-Serious Fire-Tax? ation. [FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] FLORENCE, S. C., Octuoer 4. The dearth of senBational news is rather a favorable sign for our immediate community. Up to this year, since the war ended, we were continually in commotion about some exciting subject, generally detrimental to the welfare of our section. But '69 has been, thus far, char? acterized by greater industry and quiet, better feeling and order, and more encouraging hope than any period since December, '65. The cotton crop of this section is about as large aa it was last year, except that the rust has caused lt to open earlier, and consequent? ly to be thrown upon the market in larger quantities than usual for this season. Not over half of a corn crop will be realized this year, and this, with very short potato and pea crops, will necessitate the expenditure of a large part of the proceeds of the cotton crop for corn. Nearly all the bacon consumed in this vicinity lins still to be bought, aa we have hot yet been able, with security, to risk the effort to raise and "save our bacon." Hands have worked better this year than since they were freed, and stealing has not been so common. The health of our community has been un? usually good this year, but though death has not come so frequently, taxes have come more heavily and unrelentingly. The tax officers are still gorging at Darlington. We had a little excitement the other day in the trial of a slander case, before P. C. Fludd, colored magistrate. The suit was brought by Loyns against Strauss, both merchants, and although the amount was small, Colonel Sey? mour, of Charleston, and Colonel Warley, of Darlington, were engaged os counsel in the case. The crowd was so great to hear these distinguished gentlemen, that the magisterial court had to be adjourned to a larger hali. The Jury gave damages in the sum of $48, and I hear an appeal was token. I must not forget to announce the burning near here of Mr. Robert McKenzie's turpentine still, with about $2000 worth of turpentine and rosin, and two or three small buildings-total loss about $2500. Cause, accidental. Mr. Mc? Kenzie Is one of our staunchest citizens, and has the sympathies of the community. There was no insurance. PRESSLET. POLITICAL NEWS. The Prospect In Pennsylvania-Signs of a Democratic Triumph. [Prom the Philadelphia Age.] The news from all parts of the State is deci? dedly encouraging. Democrats are united and hard ot work, while the Radicals are demoral? ized and split into two factions, the office hold? ers and those who wish to be placed upon that list. The fight between these parties is fierce and bitter. In Blair County a contest of this kind is going on, and a friend writes from that locality " Stickers are more in demand this fail in this county than they have ever been before, aud the prospects for the Democratic State ticket are good, and if wc do not elect it, the Ilads will not have much trouble la counting their majority in Blair." From Northumber? land County we have the followings " Every? thing looks well for the election of Judge Packer. Many ol* our business men, who for? merly voted agnhTSt no, will mmm WTtprxn-fPiotr' or and Pershing." These are lndietrnomrof the drift of public sentiment, and they point to a glorious triumph of the Democracy at the com? ing election. a The Campaign in Ohio - Estimated Democratic Majorities. [From the Cincinnati Enquirer.] There will bc a lively contest this tall among the great Democratic counties os to which of them will give Pendleton tho largest majority. Tho race will be close between Butler, Holmes, Fairfield, Crawford, Mercer and Aiiglaize. Each of these counties are up to two thousand and over, and the rivalry between them will be Intense. Above these counties, in the extent of our majority hitherto, has been noble old Franklin and Munroe. Tlie Franklin boys talk of 3500 and Munroe can give 2800. There Is another class of counties, such as Licking, Hocking, Defiance, Putnam. Allen. Shelby, Ross. Pickaway, Brown, Richland and Pike, which in numerical Democratic power are only Inferior to the others we have mentioned. When the Hayes men hear from the above countlea, they" will feel decidedly "Hazier" than before. We sholl have to give two ban? ners this full-one to the county giving the largest Democratic majority, and another to the county showing the largest Democratic gain. This will give our friends in the Repub? lican counties a chance. Tennessee Politics-"What tho Legisla? ture will da. [Dispatch to the Cincinnati Commercial.] NASHVILLE, September 28. The Legislature conveaes next Monday, and early In tho succeeding week will elect a Uni? ted States senator. At thia early day the fol? lowing events caa be predicted with a reason? able certainty of their fulfilment. 1. Andrew Johnson will be elected senator. 2. The Fif? teenth amendment will not be ratified. 3. A constitutional convention will be called at an early day, which body will effect tile enfran? chisement of every disfranchised person in the State at the earliest practicable moment, but will not Interfere with the civil and political rights of the negro. 4. In any event tho bonds of thc State will not be repudiated, although the earnest advocates for such a measure will not be wanting. 5. Thc partlsaa legislation of the last few years will be generally repealed. These are tho malu questions to come before the L?gislature and the convention growing ouuof lt. The fight over the senator slap will be tierce, but the result can be told lu advance. The new Legislature will contain an abler set ol' men than has ever been found iu the Tennessee Genend Assembly. A New Radical Plot-Andrew Johnson to bc Rejected as Senator. [From the Philadelphia Press, Radical.] Tennessee ls developing a new move in her State politics. By many It ls conceded that under the new election Andrew Johnson will ' receive his credentials as United States sena? tor. It is sold now that Messrs. Stokes, Brownlow, Maynard, and also Etheridge, freely declare that the Senate will refuse to admit Mr. Johnson, under a specific construction of the clause ol' the constitution which declares that body to be the exclusive Judge of the qualifications of those elected to lt. The dis? qualification is none other than "disloyalty," and the allegation will be substantiated suffi? ciently for the Immediate purpose by the evi? dence brought out on the trial for impeach? ment. That one less than two-thirds of the Senate voted to convict the President, is to be offset by the fact that much more than a ma? jority were comprised in the affirmative. There ls much force In thc objection of the Tennes8eeans. Jesse D. Bright was expelled by the Senate for disloyalty, the disloyal action being the writing of a mere letter of recom? mendation. Mr. Thomas, of Maryland, was rejected bv the Senate for thc same, his overt disloyal act being the furnishing of money to his own son. A Radical Trick. Much surprise was expressed because Gover? nor Geary, of Pennsylvania, appointed a num? ber ot Democrats as delegates to the Louis? ville Commercial Convention. But some shrewd follow found out that the election took place on the very day the convention^as ap? pointed to meet, and* so, surprise gave way m> indignation and disgust. ?Sf OFFTCE CHERAW AND ^ARLING?

Letter from Major Townsend. Mr. D. B*. Townsend, the president ot the Cheraw and Salisbury Railroad, publishes, In the Chesterfield Democrat a long letter, con? taining his version of thc circumstances at? tending the late sale of Cheraw and Darling? ton Railroad stock, held by his company. Mr. Townsend argues that lt was manifest that Charleston intended to do no more for the road, but would stand back and let the North Carolina interests lead off. He continues as follows: In pursuance of this policy, demonstrations were made along the line In North Carolina in July, numerous subscriptions were obtained, payable on demand, for the purpose of loca? ting the road immediately, and a general in? terest was aroused In favor of the enterprise. To sustain this, and to assure our North Caro? lina friends that we were in earnest, lt was de? cided at the meeting of directors in Cheraw, August 11th, to organize and send out a corps of engineers on the line Immediately, and to raise, by the sale of some of our lifeless stocks, an Important sum of money to commence the grading at this end of the line. All of the di? rectors outside of Charleston voted for the sale, and but for the extraordinary and vexa? tious suit that has been brought, because of this sale, the work would now he progressing finely. The stoat was subscribed and paid over to the company some six or seven years ago, and although it has been regarded as dead capital In the hands of the directors-because no use could be made of it heretofore-there has never before been any question raised as to our title to the stock. If the company owned the stock the board had a perfect right to sell lt In the best and highest market That Charleston was not the point to negotiate an advantageous sale, is evident from the fact that the North? eastern Railroad stock, which has been re? garded as much better stock, was quoted and selling at the time this negotiation was going on at $8 to $9 per share. There was another significant indication. Charleston had been strongly represented on the board ever since this stock was transferred to the Cheraw and Coalfields Railroad Company, and her directors knew how anxious we were to realize means to go on with the work, and yet .no offer or in? timation of an offer ever came from that quar? ter. And finally, two of the Charleston directors were present when the sale was ordered voted against the sale, but did not offer to bet? ter thc old. They did suggest hypothecation, but seven of the directors preferred to sell. I happen to know all that has been said about the object of this purchase is erroneous. The stock was bought as aa investment, and I have the very best authority for saying that no dis? crimination will ever be made against Charles? ton by the proprietors of this stock. But it ls time for the question to bc settled in this State as to whether the stockholders or other peo? ple are to run and control the railroads, what right for instance, has the Northeastern Rail? road Company to run the Cheraw and Darling? ton Railroad ? Both are distinct corporations, owned by different stocksolders, and pre? sided over by different boards of directors, and yet it is very well understood that the Northeastern Board exercises as absolute control over the Cheraw and Darlington Road as it does over its own concern, and this accounts for the "milk In the cocoanut" Why, it is said, (and I presume will hardly be denied.) that tho president of thc Northeastern Rail? road offered the purchasers of this stock, in? terest at thc the rate of seven per cent, per annum on the entire investment, for the sim? ple control of their proxy for two years! It hy fair to conclude, therefore, that lt ls profitable to the Northeastern Company to control the Cheraw and Darlington Railroad, or that en? terprising concern could not afford to pay nearly $6000 for the simple privilege of repre mjmtiaa M\i shares lor two short years. It is apprehended, no doubt, mm new etookhoiosro will find out that they have Just as much right to mn it, as a separate and independent con? cern, as the proprietors of any other railroad In the State.
