? ll l'l.'ll I I ? ililli ! I 1 , -f C(>L???BIA, S. C7 Frilay Mon?nR, April 9. 1869. The Cattail Question. There ia at last, in relation to Cuban affairs, something akin to a union of feeliug, leading to a similarity in the main features of the calls fur immediate action on fthe part of the Government of the United States, in the tone of the press here uud elsewhere throughout thc country. And it is surely to be desired that tho Washiugtou authorities will, ere long, find time to give the subject the moro serious attention it demands. That Cuba mnst bc governed iu consonanco with onr mutual interest is as olear to the governing element in other na? tions as it is to ourselves, and that the ohanges necessary to the production of that condition should be modo at a time wheu thoy can be effected with the least possible humiliation to any governmeut, is tho well defined right in tho conduct of the case. It is, therefore, in the light of present feeling, passing events, aud general anticipation, perfectly clear that there cannot possibly occur a bettor juxtaposition of favorable circumstances than exists ut present for firm but rightful interference of tho Ameri ?can people, to protect their own and native ?Cuban interests from needless injury to rightful change, and from altogether unne? cessary bloodshed and loss of life to either of the parties now iu armed coutentiou there. Wore Coba allied to Spaiu geographically, or in any way rendering tho dominance of Spanish Government there mutually bene? ficial, an effective expression on either side might well bo deemed unwarranted inter? ference; but with tho conditions recognized as they aro universally, and thc geographi? cal condition auch as it is, tho natural inte? rests of Americans are acknowledged to bo such as to legitimately warrant action which under other circumstances might seem im? proper. Any proper effort we may mako is in behalf of a people of homogeneous indus? tries, lying, really, within the circle of our own boundary, and commercially, and me? chanically, and socially identified with us; while in all savo the enforcod duty of giving sustenance to a stranger government, oarricd on by stranger authority, entirely in tho in? terest of a stranger geople, Cuba has nothing whatever in common with Spain not even blood to any effective extent, and therefore desires to govern herself as shall best advance her interests in common with those with whom, in tho natural necessity of ber position and other substantial pecu? liarities, she is naturall}' allied. Ours is the position of a nation allied !>y every tie recognized as natural by nature it? self, as well as by civilization, naturally in? terested that un island lying within in our own waters, and commercially interwoven in our trade, shall be privileged to direct its own affairs and destiny, as shall, in the nature of her case, seem best calculated to insure the enjoyment of her naturally pro? ductive soil to the natives by whom it ia cultivated, and by whom the system for the use or disposal of their producta should bo defined. -o The Poktnl Service. Postmaster-General Creswell has sent tc the Senate Committee on tho Post Office aud Post Roads a letter in regard to the re? solution recently submitted by Mr. Snmnci in favor of cheap ocean postage. Ho state! that tho department has for years been la boring for improved postal conventions witt Great Britain, and that tho negotiation? have resulted in the conclusion of new con vo?tions with that country and the Nortl German Union, reduciug rates of letter postage one-half, and establishing moderate charges upon printed and other mattor The negotiations opened with the Freud Governmeut for the same object uro stil progressing, and it is hoped will result ii tho conclusion of an improved postal ar rangement with France, toc?me into opera tion tho beginning of the next year Liberal con von tiona have been recently car ried into operation with the Netherlands Belgium, Switzerland aud Italy, unde which reduced ratea have been establisher to all parts of Europe and Asia. He etutes? that it will bo the future polio, of the department to still further reduce th rates of postage, and further simplify an render uniform the details growing ont t the exchange of correspondence with thee countries. Tho questiou of tho further n dnction of tho international lettor rato bi tween this country and Great Britain, ri served by the third nrticlo of tho presot convention, will come up for considerate and action after tho I?t of Jauunry nox and it is hoped tho British Government wi be willing to still further reduce tho existir rate so ns to briug it to the lowest practic hie standard.

"Let us have peuce." -o HOBSON'S CHOICE.-Tho telegraph an? nounces that, after considerable fillibuster ing, Solomon L. Hogo, (Republican,) wus seated in tho House of Representativos of Congress, yesterday, as tho Representative of this Congressional District. It will be remembered that this seat was contested by Col. Jacob I*. Reed, (Democrat,) who re? ceived a majority of 3,000 votes over H?ge; but Congress, in tho exercise of a discre? tion which smacks strongly of party rule, decided not to hear thc claims of any one who was in?ligible when a oandidato by reason of political disabilities. Hence was H?ge, who was tho only other candidate, aeated. And if there ?H no other consolatiou left us in this result, we mny at least enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that his pre? sence in Congress will necessitate a very de? sirable vacancy on tho Supreme Bench ol this Stuto. -o OUR Boys IN RED.-For tho past two or threo nights, tho streets in our vicinity have boen gladdened by tho cheerful voices ol tho gallant Palmetto boys, who are assidu? ously practiciug with their machiue, prepa? ratory to a visit to Charleston, to unite with the firemen of that city in their unuuul parade, which bikes place on the 27th inst. Aa usual, the Charleston firemen, under tilt leadership of their Chief, Teddy Nathans, intend to havo a good timo on their anni vorsary, aud, with their characteristic geno rosity. invited our Palniottoe* to pay them a visit. This proffer of hospitality wat cheerfully accepted, and the Palmottoes wil go, with fifty-two membors, including of ficers. We warn tho Charleston boys that in theil trial of skill they will meet in our Aromet champions worthy of their best efforts. W< understand that, an evening or two since the Palmettoes accomplished, in precisely four minutes, the test which is tobe appliot for tho prize, namely, running with th machino 500 yards, laying down ant coupling 150 feet of hose, and thon pinyin; off. At this rate, the Vigilant, and otho hand engines in our "City by tho Sen, must look to their laurels. We wish then all such a jolly good timo as firemen alway deserve. -o CHARLESTON IN A NUT-SHELL.-Henr; Cobia, Esq., for many years a prominen merchant, has been elected President of tb Boord of Trade.

Tho King of Birmah has fifty wive? and ninety children. Ex-Queen Isabella has her fortuno told by cards twice every day. Circular excursion tickets will be issued by thc South German railroads during next summer at a reduction of fifty percent. ! Conspiracies against the Government have been discovered i.t Naples and An? cona, and many leaders bavo been arrested. Every railroad traiu in Sweden is pro? vided with an efficient medical staff and complete pharmacy, so that in caso of acci deut no timo is lost in administering to tho wants of tho wounded. Thc flag of tho Reform Club, of Nouf chatel, in Switzerland, bears tlie following inscription: "A church without priests, re? ligion without catechism, tho Divine creed without mystery, morality without theolo? gy, nud God without system. Thc difficulties on the Persian border aro in a fair way to bo settled. The Sublimo Porte has agreed with the Persiau Govern? ment to refer tho rectification of the fron? tier to a mixed commission of Turkish and Persiau subjects. lu the year 18G8, 50U officers wore cash? iered from tho Austrian army on account of dishonorable behavior, among which figure very considerably tho fact of not paying their bills after pledging their "word of honor." A Lieutenant's pay ranges from fifteen to twenty dollars per month, out of which he has to find his outfit, uniform and subscribe towards the maintenance of tho regimontal music corps. A despatch from Alexandria says another plot to assassinate tho Viceroy of Egypt has been discovered and frustrated; a loaded bomb was found under his chair in tho theatre, and was withdrawn before it could explode. A large number of arrests have been mado of suspected parties. A curious and mysterious incident oc? curred ut the Palace of tho Tuileries, in Paris. At 2 o'clock iu the morning, a well dressed gentleman was arrested while en? deavoring to cuter the portion of the build? ing allotted to General Frossard. In the guard house, ho insisted upon seeing tho General without delay, on a matter of vital importance. Whatever transpired was kept profoundly secret; but it is worthy of re? mark that immediate precautions were tukou, especially by placing extra guards around tho apartments of the Prince Impe? rial. All tho doors wero closed and the sen? tries doubled. It is naturally oonoluded that an attempt was feared on the life of the young Prince. Augustine Costello, one of the liberated Fenians, delivered a speech at Balliuasloe, on bis way to Dublin, beforo a large crowd of Fenians assembled to do him honor. In tho course of his remarks, he declared him? self to bo a Fenian, as he had ever been, and that so long as he had breath he would conspire and plot to overthrow the British Govern meut. His object would always be to put down British tyranny. Fenianism is exhibiting some signs of renewed vitality in Ireland, a fact which creates considerable uneasiness in tho publio mind. -o A case of domestic scandal was under dis? cussion at a tea-table. "Well, let us thiuk the best of her we can," said an elderly spinster. "Yes," said another, "and say tho worst." It was a cuto rogue who, having stolen a horse aud carriage, borrowed money of a Litchfield, Conn., County Sheriff with which to pursue an imaginary thief. A young lady in Detroit took arsenio to clear her complexion, and was completely cleared out. She occupies a hole in the ground. MOTHERS, RB ADVISED.-Always keep a bottle of DR. TUTT'S CBI?EDRATBD EXPEC? TORANT in tho house. It is a certain and pleasant euro for Croup, Coughs, Colds, ?Ike. It is agreeable to the taste, and children take it readily. Go to your Druggist and got it at once, it may save the life of your littlo ono. A3 B .-_--o BEAUTY.-How to secure a olear, smooth, beautiful, healthy skin, is the desire of all, and this is within the reach of all. The skin becomes discolored, rough, eruptive, by tho virulent, unhealthy condition of the excretions and insensible perspiration-that is, secreted by its functions, and expelled through ita pores. The skin is one of the chief outlets for the expulsion of the hu? mors or elements that the absorbent vessels reject, to nourish and sustain the blood; hence, theso irritant humors poison the delicate skin, nod we bavo Pimples, Blotch? es, Sores, either simple or malignant, ac? cording to tho condition of tho perspiration and humors secreted by the skin. Now, tho application of cosmetics only hide theso defects, and increase the irritant condition of tho ukin. Use Heiuitsh's Queen's De? light, and it will be found a perfect remedy for these disorders. M24
