'-Official dispatches from Captain General De Rodas, announces that Oscar C?spedes WAS executed at Puerto Principe on the 29th ultimo. Young C?spedes, who was a son of the President of ih'? Cuban Republic, was sur? prised by the Spanish troops a few days ago,'five miles from Gayamara, and captured, with several" other insurgents. In the same affair^ the American Colonel, John Clancy, was killed; and several other prominent Insur? gent leaders barely escaped. -Joseph R. Isaacs, a diamond broker, was induced by an Italian broker to call at his room \ii the St. Nicholas Hotel, New York, Tuesday, on the representation of the latter that lie had some diamonds lo dispose of privately. Willie there, Isaacs was overpowered by the Italian and a confederate, bound hand and foot, put under the influence of chloroform, and robbed of $200 In money, some valuable papers, a dia? mond and ruby ring,-and some gold coins. The robbers disappeared, locking the room after them, and their victim, coming ttptbis ? senses twenty minutes after, called for assis-1 tance and was speedily Bet free. -Princess Editha, who calls herself the daughterof Lola Montez and Kin,' L -opold, of Belgium, lectured in New York, Thursday night, on the "Social Condition of Woman What She Was, Is and Should Be." s ie was' introduced by Mrs. Cady Stanton, but, soon after she commenced speaking, was Interrupt? ed by an inquisitive auditor, anxious lo gain information os to her paternity. The Princess defied him, and the audience suppressed him, and he soon left the hall. Miss Editha thea proceeded to condemn the members ol' Hie Sorosls as a party of talkers instead of wor^- ' era, and to advocate* reform ia dress as ?e first step toward reform ia politics and morals.'. The Princess announoed that she would ap? pear on Broadway the next day In new par? liamentary costume. She made no attempt to defend her mother's character, an had been announced, saying she had seen lier mother but four times. -The last Spanish barbarilyln Cuba reaches us through the medium of a private letter from Remedios, written by a trustworthy person. Early in the mouth of Jiay, forty-two inhabi? tants of that city were dragged from their houses late at night, under the pretence1 that they were in some manner identified with the insurgent cause. The p?er wretches were dragged from their families, safely bound, and taken to tue vicinity of the cemetery, and wero there clubbed to death with the butt end3- of muskets. No charge, no trial, and, shack&d as they were, no possible defence -knocked on the head like oxen in the shambles. Amcog them was more than one oki man over seven? ty years of age. Two only managed to escape this horrible massacre. This deed was couir mitted by the volunteers in revenge for tile many defeats they had lately suffered. Portilr lo, the military commander of the district,, who had previeusly earned a reputation in Villa Clara Tor his cruelties to old men, de? fenceless women and-children, was aware af the outrages that were being committed, but by lils inaction passively endorsed the fearful butchery._ Tlie "Consolidation" Theory. Some of tlje staunchest supporters of the Reform movement evidently believe that the nomination of candidates for Governor and Lieutenant-Governor, by the June Conven? tion, will so solidify and consolidate the Radical party as to make it extremely diffi? cult for the Reformers to elect either mem? bers of the Legislature or county officers. They argue, therefore, that no nominations should be made, and that each county should drive the best bargain that it can, or make the best fight that it can, upon thc general principles laid down or advised by the Con? vention. Of all the ad captandum argu? ments directed against the nomination of a general ticket, this is, in our opinion, the weakest and most puerile. The "consolidation of the Radical party," which fills the minds of the weaker political vesselsVith uneasiness and alarm, is neither more nor les3 than an expression of the de? termination of the corrupt leaders of that party to stick squarely together. They are anxious to secure the plunder of the last two years, and to gratify their craving for more, and still more, of the money and credit of tlie people. Hitherto they have led the col? ored voters whithersoever they pleased, and they believe that stump speaking, an occa? sional barbecue, un appeal to the gratitude of the colored people for favors they have not had, and, perhaps, a strong dose of "loyal militia," will enable them once more to sweep over th? State, like the Sirocco, of whose consuming breath Senator Cain spoke so savagely, before he "flung to Hie breeze," for re-election, the name of R. K. Scott. The. simple holding of the Reform Conten? tion will consolidate the Radical party; for there are more vacancies to be lilied thau those on the general ticket, and not oue of the leaders is willing to give upa tittle of Iiis power. We can understand that if there were uo other Radical office-holders or ollice-seekers in South Carolina than those who hope to be elected Governor and Lieutenant-Gover? nor, it might be highly proper to allow the elections for those important offices to go by default. That might disarm the Radicals, and enable the Reformers to curry, with ease, all the county elections. But in every county in the State there are a score of Rad? ical candidates for every office that is to be tilled at the fall elections. Only one man can bc elected to each office, but thc aspir? ants are numbered by the dozen, and every authorized candidate will be interested in "consolidating" his county, not for tlie sake of Scott or Moses, but to secure Iiis own election. We ask this simple question: Will it be any consolation for a Radical office seeker in Charleston, for instauce, to know that he is to be dickered out of his place while thc candidates for Governor and Lieu? tenant-Governor walk quietly over the course? The party will unquestionably lie consolidat? ed, just tis far as the united efforts of all thc Radical candidates, from Governor down, can consolidate it, and this consolidation will take place whether we do, or do not, nominate our candidates uud give battle upon the general ticket And we must not forget that thc Radical Ring know full well what would be our ob? ject in confining the contest to the counties. They know that if we obtain a Reform ma? jority in the General Assembly we eau hold the Governor in check, and obtain some? thing like a decent government. In arguing, therefore, against a general ticket we say iu effect to the Radicals: We will generously give you one point, in order that we may, at your expense, score two points for ourselves. But are the Radical leaders so imbecile that this game may be played with safety ? We see nothing in their past conduct to make us think so. They are sharp enough, too sharp; and we cannot fool them, though, as political ostriches, we bury our heads in tlie sand, and, in fancied security, whistle our songs of victory. The Radicals understand this dodge. And we are inclined to think that they liad rather lose the election for Governor than lose thr- - ! ;ction of a working majority of the metnbe - uf the General As? sembly. Tlie Missionary Record lia3 al? ready sounded thc note of alarm, and wo are firmly convinced that, if we abandon thc coutest for Governor and Lieutenant-Gover? nor, with Hie hope of strengthening our po? sition in Hie counties, we shall count without our host, and be miserably and fatally de? ceived. Whatever we may do, or may not do, the Radicals will make a streng light in the counties. The elections there are us im portant, and as necessary to them as they can possibly bc to us. The Radical Ring will strain every nerve to consolidate their party. And, assuredly, the light will bo a hard one. Tiierwfore. mu3t we set organization against organiza? tion, consolidation against consolidation, stratagem against stratagem. And we con? fess that we do not see that we have even a chance of succeeding unless we set leader against leader, and give to the Army of Re? form an able aud competent head. Without this, we are in dauger of being whipped in detail-without this we give up the Governor and Lieutenuiit-Goveruor, and cannot count upou as many Reformers in the new General Assembly as Hiere were Demociats in Hie highly corrupt aud eminently disgraceful legislative body elected two years ago. The Re-election of IVhJttomore, The additional returns printed la another coluni?f, taken in connection with.thoso al? ready published, make it certain that B. F. Whitleraore is re-elected from the First Con? gressional District by about 6000 majority. As compared with the vote in 1S08, when Mr. Whittemore (Rad.) ran against Mr, Cov? ington (Dem.) the vote and result are aa fol? lows: im. Marlboro'.! 1.135 1,00-1 977 2C&- .

Laucaster, which polled 016 for Covington, gave only ICO to Dunn. Marl? boro', which gave Covington 1004 votes, gives Dunn only 22S. Williamsburg, in like manner, has dwindled down from 7S8 lr> 25? Korry from 1088 to 402, and Clarendon frpm 7G9 to 43. Nor have the missing votes gone to swell the majority of Whittemore. In Darlington alone did he secure nearly as many votes as in 1S68. Marlboro', which gave him 1133 two years ago, now gives him 977 ; Georgetown fulls from 2071 lo 1088; Williamsburg from 1GS3 to .913; Sumter from 3106 to 2030; Kershaw from 1481 to GOO: Lancaster from 800 to 075; Ilorry from 39G lo 1SG, and Clarendon from 144S to 611. The apathy of the colored voters is, we be? lieve, due to two causes-many of Hiern were disgusted with Whittemore, and felt Hie disgrace he had brought upon them. This class wai numerous enough to have elect? ed Mr. Dunn. But Mr. Dunn made the can? vass unaided anti alone. The colored people knew him neither by name nor reputation. They, therefore, compromised the matter by staying away from the polls. The failure of the white voters to support Mr. Dunn is, in all probability, mainly due to the feeling that it i3 better to let Whittemore go back to Congress with all ids sins on Iiis head. This lingering remnant of the old plan of giving the rogue all the rope he needs, in the hope Hitit he will one day reeve himself a halter, has caused the First District to lose a fair opportunity of obtaining au honest and intelligent representative. This feeling can be overcome, bat only by the stir, active ex? citement and healthy energy of a general State canvass. Then thc people of the First District will turn out and do their part Aud the colored votera, who have shown that tliey will not vote for this poor creature Whiitcinore, will then deposit their ballots for candidates whom they can respect Olid trust. We presume that Whittemore will be ad? mitted to his seat. The United States He use of Representatives ha3 declared, by formal resolution, Hint he is unworthy lo represent the people. But his constituents have re? elected him, and Congross, in ali probability, will have nothing mareto say. lt is admit? ted on all sides that Whittemore is an unfit compauion for decent and upright men; but Congress, except spasmodically, takes no notice of tho moral status of its members, and regards party fealty aa something more important, in politics, than the perfection of personal purity. The Tribune, and ono or two other Re? publican papers, may conjure Congress to reject ilr. Whit temora, but his constituenls, save the mark, (!) have condoned his crime, and make him what Mr. Silas Wegg would call "the minion of fortune and the worm of "the hour." The La ml It i nz. The card of Land Commissioner DoLarge, printed in another column, acquits that offi? cial of complicity in what is called '-Hie S!)0, "000 land swindle." Our Columbia corres? pondent is of opiuion that the newspaper discussions exonerate Messrs. Scott, De Large aud Ca rdozo from any criminal con? nection with the Scliley purchase, ami the responsibility now lic3 upon the shoulders of State Treasurer Parker, Attorney-General Chamberlain, Comptroller-General Keagle, and Senator Leslie. The last named oiticial is said to be absent from thc State, but why are the others so silent ? We wait patiently for a satisfactory reply. (Eonrattonal.
