VOLUME VII.-NUMBER 1141. CHARLESTON, fe. C., FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 20, MX DOLLARS A YEAR NEWS EXOIH WASHINGTON. A Cabinet Meeting ?ml What waa Done-The Hornet not to ho Releas? ed-The Policy of President Grant Cheering New? from Ohio, &c., &c. ISl'ECIAL TELEUIIAM TO THE NEWS.] WABUIXOTOX) October 5. There wns a Aili and Important Cabinet meeting to-day, to consider thc subject of tho seizure of thc Cuban privateer Hornet. Some of the Secretaries favored her release, but lt was Anally decided that her case came clearly within thc scope of thc neutrality lawB, and that she must bc detained. Tho SpanlBh Minister ls highly elated to-night at the're Bult of the conference. It has been ascertained from authentic sources, and may be definitely stated, that the following aro the views, in substance, enter? tained by thc President, and sure to bo car? ried out by the administration, with reference to the questions involved. The shipment of arms and munitions of war to either party en? gaged in thc Cuban struggle is not prohibited. The revolutionists have an equal right to buy and ship arras with thc Spaniards. It ls upon thc fitting out of naval or military expeditions that thc neutrality laws operate. It Is an en? tire mistake to suppose that thc United States officers have ever been instructed to stop the shipment of morchandlBC, even though it bc In the form of articles contraband of war. Thc owners and masters of vessels mn ;t In all cases take their own risk. But if any expedition, whether of armed men or of armed vesselB, or if any vessel fitted out and intended for naval warfare, ls started from our ports, then the question of our duty as neutrals, or as a friendly power arl BC s-, and even if wc had acknowledged the independence of Cuba, our duty and our rule could bc no different until we lind directly and publicly espoused ono Bide of thc quarrel by making war upon the other. A special dispatch from tbo office of thc Cin? cinnati Enquirer says that the returns from the Ohio canvass show that thc election of thc Hon. George H. Pendleton as Governor ls now certain, by a larger majority than thc most sanguine of bis friends had anticipated. Thc Recent Panto tn Gold-Statements of the President-Audacity of FUU, Jr. "* [I HOM TBE AB6O0IATHD PRESS.] WASHINGTON, October 0. As comments have been made in the news? papers affecting the administration in connec? tion with thc recent gold panic, and much In? terest ls expressed on the subject, the Wash? ington m;ent of the Associated Press called upon the President to ascertain whether there was any foundation for the insinuation or di? rect chargea against the administration. The President conversed with tho,utmost frankness on thc subject, and said ho had not thought proper to publicly contradict thc statements concerning himself, os he had done noth lng whatever to influence the money market or to afford any advantages to private parties, While In New York ho had many voluntary ad? visers, but he repeatedly said to them that thc administration always held itself In a position to act as lt seemed best, and (rec to make any change of policy for thc public Interest. lu thc course of conversation ho stated that, while on the eve of going to Newport,"- James Fisk, Jr., came on board the steamer at New York and Bald to the President, that Gould had sent him down to ask that he would privately give them a little .intimation as to what the administration was going to do on thc financial question. The President replied that thc giving of such information would not bc fair, and asked Fisk whether he did not think BO himself. Fisk admittod it would not be fair. Thc President, then Informed him that, whenever the adminis? tration was going to chango Its action or policy, the Secretary of the Treasury would give notice through thc newspapers as usual, so that everybody might, at thc samo time, know what lt was, thus excluding any possible charge of favoritism. On tho monning of the panic, Friday week, Secretary Boutwell com? municated to tho President the situation of atlAjre In New York, when tho President said, "8clU%000,000 of gold." The Secretary said that ho h?d come for tho purpose of sugges? ting a sole tf $3,000,000, the idea of selling gold thus appou-iug to be in tho mind of each at the same time. A. few minutes thereafter the order was telegraphed to New York to sell four millions of gola, n may bo repeated that thc President had Informed no ono whom? soever of tho purposes of the oo?|nlBtration on financial subjects, and the Batae remark ls equally true as to the Secretary of the Trea? sury. ? ?

Tho names of the delegates from thc various circuits and stations were enrolled, and they were accredited as members of the Conference. Thu chairmen of tho various reg? ular committees were announced, and after motions and resolutions preliminary to thc regular business, thc meeting adjourned Its session for thc day. On Friday morning tho Conference resumed Its session, Rev. A. M. Chrlctzbcrg In tho chair, who announced the regular committees. Re? ports from thc pastors ol tho various charges in the district were made. These reports were Interesting, furnishing as they did ovldences of tho Increased vitality of religion in the church.

The report on Ministerial Support was read by Hugo 0. Sheridan. This was a paper of real ability, and tho subject treated in a manner highly creditable to the committee, for the valuublo suggestions offered.

" May I trouble you with an - account of the last meeting nf Zion Township, Oraxrgeburg District, or,rather "Keounty,'' BO-calrcd? Tho meeting was for thc purpose of deciding whether there should bo a township burylng ground or not. Very early on the morning of Thursday ?oat, Cu tl ce, with a few of his White brethren, and somo of the respectability of the township, had assembled for the purpose. I had no'tdea Sambo was In so much earnest? ness about a place to be burled; but aa his forty ?cres and a mule hare not appeared yet, he seems to have given up all hopes In that di? rection and whittled down his agrarian Ideas to six try three. The meeting bade fair to be a quiet one Indeed, until one of the property holders opposed lb on tho g roun fl that there were enough burying-grounds already, when several darkles, in tong speeches, told cf "nibs who had been planting cotton and corn over de dead bodies of do great colored race;" that "de white man felt very little Interest, os da-was Btabllshed In de land by the labor nf dat mighty people; but mow would lt be when de<colored foax owned do lan, den de poor white man would want a place to,be burled." Abont this time a whit? 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 bini. Bot to make the matter Bb ort, Ouffee got the laud and no msle, when the meeting came to a closo. Just before this, a carriage came up with a ma? hogany colored Individual, one white roan, ana ?n unadulterated negro, who protended that they understood the re waa a m aas?mcet lng of the citizens, and had como ?> imake speeches. So thoybegan to speak-mahogany colored taking the lead. It seemed ho' waa alarmed, fearing that, votes wo?]dfeo lost by heavy, taxation, *c, but Samba was soon .satisfied on that subject, when ; he was told that the tax was to pay for the citor ruptian. of their former rulers, who ?had Bqnanderecd thc public mosey, Ac.

Letter from Major Townsend. Mr. T). B. Townsend, thc president ol tho Cheraw ami Snjbihury Railroad* publishes, In tho Chesterfield Democrat a long letier, con? taining lils version of tin- circumstances at? tending the late sale of Choraw and Darllng t^llr^^niLelock, hold by lils company. Mr. IdwrisV??tl' argues that lt was manifest that Ciuu-lcstou intended to do no more for thc -, but would stand back and let the North arolina Interests lead off. Ile contin?en as follows: In pursuance of this policy. demonstrations were made along thc line tn North Carolina lu July, numerous subscriptions were obtained, payable on demand, for the purpose of loca? ting thc road Immediately, and a general in? terest waa arouse J In favor of the enterprise. To sustain this, and to assure our North Caro? lina friends that wo were In earnest, lt woe de? cided at thc meeting of directors IQ Cheraw, August 11th, to organize and send out a corps of engineers on tho linc Immediately, and to raise, by thc salo of some of our lifeless stocks, au Important Hum of money to commence tho grading Rt this end of tho line. AU of thc di? rectors outside of Charleston voted for tho Bale, and but for thc extraordinary and vexa- ! tlons milt that has been brought, because of | tills sale, the work would now DC progressing finely. The stock was subscribed and paid over to the company some six or seven years ago, and although it has been regarded ns dead capital In thc hands of the directora-because no URO could be nuuk! of lt heretofore-there has never before been any question raised as to our title to tho stock. If the com pun y owned the stock tho board had a perfect right to sell lt In thc best and highest market. That Charleston was not thc point to negotiate an advantageous sale, ls evident from thc fact that tho North? eastern Railroad stock, which has been re? garded os much better stock, was quoted nnd selling nt thc time this legotlatlon was going on at $8 to $9 per Birnie. There was another significant indication. Charleston had been strongly represented on thc board ever since this stock was transferred to the Chcraw and Coalfields Railroad Company, and her directors know how anxious wc were to realize means to go on with thc work, and yet no offer or In? timation of an offer ever came from that quar? ter. And finally, two of thc Charleston directors wore present when the salo was ordered voted against tho sale, but did not offer to bet? ter thc old. They did suggest hypothecation, but seven of thc directors preferred to sell. . * . . * I happen to know all that has been ?aid about thc object of this purchase ls erroneous. The stock was bought as an investment, and I have the very best authority for saying that no dis? crimination will over bc made against Cliarles ton by the proprietors of this stock. But lt Is timo for Uic question to be settled In this State aa to whether thc stockholders or other peo? ple are to run and control tho railroads, what right, for Instance, has the Northeastern Rail? road Company to run the Choraw and Darling? ton Railroad ? Both are distinct corporations, owned by different stocksolders, and pre? sided over by different boards of directors, and yet lt la very well understood that tire Northeastern Board exorcises os absolute control over tho Choraw and Darlington Road as lt does over Its own concern, and this accounts for tho "milk in tho cocoanut.'" Why, lt ls sold, (and I presume will hardly be denied.) that the president pf tho Northeastern Rail? road offerctl thc purchasers of this stockt In? terest ut the tho rate of seven per cent per un mini on thc entire investment, for the sim? ulo control of their proxy for two years! It ls fair to conclude, therefore, that lt ls profitable to tho Northeastern Company to control the ^?AWirgHuiiWto? ?95; ncarly I?Q00 for tito simple privilege of repre? senting 4013 shares lor twd short years.: 'lt is apprehended, no doubt, that new stockholders wjll find out that they have Just os much right to run it. as a separate and Independent con? cern, as the proprietor? of any other railroad In thc State.

To Tim PEOPLE OP SOUTH CAROLINA : Thc above Company was organized In 1800, In consequence of the wholesale forfeiture of South? ern policies by Northern companies. Thc un? paralleled success of thc enterprise has forced several of these companies to restore their South? ern policies, from the fact that they could not operate in our midst without thc appearance ot honesty. Wc keep all our money at home to build up onr Impoverished country-every dollar of pre? mium being safely invested in thc Slate from which lt is derived. The Institution ls purely Southern, and hence should appeal with great force to tho patriotism and sympathy ol every Southern heart. 'Tis not our purpose to make war on other companies, but to exhibit the special advantages offered by this purely Southern Company-found? ed on patriotism and solid wealth. Its ratio or assets to liabilities-the true test of a company's strength-ls second to none on this comment, being nearly $300 to $100. Whenever and wherever we have presented the claims of this Company, lt has not only enlisted the sympathies of our people, but has also secur? ed their hearty co-operation. Wo have secured 000 policies in South Carolina since tho loth of February. We number among our Directors General Wade Hampton and Colonel Wm. John? ston, gentlemen well known to every citizen ot South Carolina. We appeal personaUy to the people or South Carolina to assist in pushing for? ward this deservedly popular Southern institu? tion.
