Derby bas deliberately assured a meeting of English working 'men?t Liverpool "that liberalism has exhausted its vitality, and that conserva? tism will hereafter predominate in all new questions." The Earl is one of the most liberal of tory or conservative statesmen, if, indeed, ho oan bo culled a tory at all, having at least once been offered a seat in a liberal ministry, and therefore there would seem to bo but little chunco of tho long-talked-of alli? ance between the nobles, as suob, and the workmen. The latter will hence? forth, as heretofore, find their best champions in thoir own ranks and among the cultivated und progressive spirits of theda}', which the universities, tho press and the great manufacturing towns tend to produce. Why California does not grow faster: Two mou own nearly 3,01)0,000 acres of lund in tho Sau Joaquin Valley. Tho traveler may rido forty live miles in a line upon it, aud may follow a fenco around u single pasture for sixty five miles; while ono other mun monopolizes 350,000 acres. THE SUCCESS OF SPAIN IN GOBA DEEMED HOPELESS IN ENGLAND.-The London Times, of December 23, says: is-not difilcult to see tho main canse of the financial embarrassment in Spain. The Spaniards cannot afford to pay their oredUors, or And themselves compelled to reduce their dividends by heavy per centage, simply because all their resources are exhausted in a vain attempt to aohieve the subjugation of Coba. A jealous sense of honor stands in the way of common honesty. High national aspirations are pleaded in ex? tenuation o' financial delinquencies. The resolution never to part with an inch of colonial territory is tho one point on which all political parties in Spain agree-or dare not express disagreement. The strife is as to who shall talk biggest on the subject The cry is 'Cuba muRt not be lostl' * * * The September revolution of 18G8 was to usher in freedom both for Spain and her de? pendencies. But by 'freedom' the Spa? niards professed to understand simply better government. The Cubans stood np for self-government, and a civil war j ensued, in which the Spaniards have snorilloed from 75,000 to 30,000 of their best troops, maintaining beside from 40,000 to 50.000 volunteers ont of the loyal population of Havana. MatanzaB and other cities. Spain has exhausted her strength aud her treasures in a do sultory aud uneventful but sanguinary warfare, tho end of which, after more than three years, seems farther off than ever." The Times co uti nu es: "That th? ?rst article in the pro gramme of every Cabinet will be 'Cuba must not be lost,' we have uo doubt; yet it seems incredible that no patriotic .Minister should ever rise to proclaim that Cuba is being lost day by doy. Tho Spanish statesmuu will deserve well of bis country who suggests that since, as uritn acknowledged, the loss of the island is only a question of time, it would bo good policy to taku time by the forelock, and put an end on any terms, and by any means, to n struggle, which, while it destroys Cuba, utterly exhausts Spain." SHO?TINO At b'ttAY.-A couploof weeks ago, an altercation arose between St. Clair Locklier, a Scuffletown mulatto, and Handy Platt, negro, formerly be? longing to Mr. James Roberts. Lock? lier got his gnn and shot Platt in the knee. The wounded man had no surgi? cal attendance until tho horrible odor of the mutilated limb admonished the poor wretches that something must be done at once, otherwise they would be driven ont of the house hy .the stenoh. Doc? tora Walter and Monroe were summon? ed, and the limb was amputated above the knee. The deed was a most wanton one, there being, as we hear, little or no provocation. It was done, also, by one of those Robeson County rascals-one of the far-famed Sonflletown gang, who came here from Cumberland County jail. Nothing has boen done about it iu any way-no information lodged nor any warrant issued. We are inolined to sus? pect that if tho deed had been done by a white man the habeas corpus would have been suspended, and we might have bad a detachment of the United States army among us.-Marion Crescent. DEATH OP A PBOMINENT COLORED MAN. At half-past 6 o'clook, last evening, while the members of Conncil were assembling for a special meeting, the sad news of the death of Alderman Elias Carden, which had j net ccourred, was received. He had been siok for about ten days with a disease contracted from his horse, which he had been attending for glanders. At tho time of his death he was in the fifty-sixth year of his age. For more than a third oi his nie he con? ducted the business of a butcher in the lower market, to the general satisfaction of the niauy citizens who dealt with him. In bis capacity of a Councilman he was never obtrusive, yet shrinking from nothing thut he esteemed bi J duty, and only advancing his views when they were well fixed upon tho subject, and with becoming dignity and decorum. In his death his race has lost a repre? sentative, whoso life was an illustration of what sobriety, integrity and industry can do. Ho goes to his grave respected by all olassos, and leaving a large family, embracing ton well reared children, to mourn thoir loss. - Charleston Courier. Fins AND PROBABLY FATAL SHOOTING. Between 1 nnd 2 o'clock, Monday morn-, ing, a fire broke out in - Buohheit'8 store, Florence, S. C., which, with tho miscellaneous stock, value unknown, and insnred for $4,500, was totally destroyed. The flames extended to the building re? cently erected by Schoabe & Co., at a cost of $2,200, and containing an assort? ed stock, valued at $7,000, on which there was an insnrauce of $5,000. Tho building was consumed and. the stock partially saved. During the excitement a colored man, named James Hamilton, was shot in tho abdomen by George MoDuffle Stol), and little hope is enter? tained of his rcoovery. Stoll was ar? rested, and a bail of $1,000 required of bim. SAD DEATHS.-A littlo girl about six old, child of Mr. Wosley Norton, was instantly killed a few days ago iu tho machinery of a cotton gin on the plantation of her grand-father, near Miller's Church. Wo wore pained to hoar that Mr. Alfred M. Smithy lost his lifo by nu un? fortunate accident ou Monday last. Ho out down a tree which fell upon and so injured him that he died in a few hours. Mr. Smithy leaves a wifo and a large family of small children to mourn bis untimely end. Ho was an honest, hard? working mun, and his death is a severo loss to his family. To thom wo tender our sincere sympathy.-Marion Crescent. There wore sixteen deaths iu Charles? ton for tho week ending the 13th inst. whites two; colored fourteen. Tus LAWS OF DOMESTIC STORMS HOUSEHOLD HLNTS.-There are periods iii life, say's the Pall Mall Gazelle, when blood relations seem born to harass and bewilder each otber. Where is the son who, on arriving at age, has not gone in the very opposite direction to his father's wishes, either with regard to calling, opinions or marriages? Where ?B the father who has not waked np some morn? ing to the conviction that, with the best intentions in the world, the parental re? lation is a failure? If he is a philoso? pher, he will submit to tho inevitable with a good grace, and argue thus: "Yes, it was all very well to dream, when my son lay in his cradle, how happy I should be if ho ever grew to bo i man. To have him as a friend, companion and ad? viser. Ah! life would indeed be worth having. But how differently things turn out to what ono expects 1 He bas taken np with hateful opinions on politics, re? ligion and everything else worth think? ing about. He is determined to marry an odious woman. He criticises and dis? trusts my most serious convictions. We shall always maintain affectionate rela? tions, but, as to friendship, that is quito another thing." If, on the other hand, he is dull-bead? ed and irou-willed, the trausieut cold? ness is sure to lead to an irrevocable separation. On which, indeed, of the domestic relations does not disenchant? ment, nt some time or other, wait? Tho laws of domestic storms are eim glo enough when studied practically, ome unfortunate men and women spend their lives in devising how this or that squall ia to be avoided. Like tho Duke's daughter, in Mr. Disraeli's amusing novel, who, if her husband cried for the moon, promised it to him immediately,' they are always ready to say black is white for the sake of being agreeable. At night, if they say their prayers at all, they can't help wishing that they might, with propriety, include a thanksgiving for having kept the dreaded objoot of their affections in good temper for a day. But the sort of people who subject them? selves to such a life of shifts, shams and petty little secrets, kuow nothing of tho tragedy of a great storm. They get bat? tered about, and are always in dirty wea? ther, but they do not go wholly to pieces. A MODEL LIGHT.-A French chemist hos discovered a light BB superior to gas as gas was superior to its predecessor, oil. An opportunity will soon be af? forded of beholding this beautiful, clear and healthy light, as the officials of the Crystal Palace Company have laid pipes, placed gasometers in position, and in tho course of a few days will illuminate their crystal fountains and rare works of art with the now ox-hydric light, and in order that the public may have ocular demonstration of its vast superiority over gos, the lights will alternate, and then the dall yellow haze of the flicker? ing gas-lamp will become doubly BO in the steady, bright light emanating from the other, which ?B SO intense that it causes the flame of gas to cast a shadow itself on the wall it is intended to illu? minate. This new light can be obtained at a mach lower rate than gas, and it is not only brilliant and clear, bat healthy. , Above the issue aperture in the ordinary gas-lamp, when lighted, there is a dark space, surrounded by the flame, with sparkling atoms floating upwards, many of whioh escape unconsumed and pol? lute the surrounding air, maoh to the injury of eyes and lungs, while others that, enter the flame, in passing through it, are only partially consumed, and in the shape of smoke or dost, esoape into the surrounding atmosphere, to the de? triment of pictures, oeilings, or gilt frames, &o. Nothing of all thia occurs with the now light. The question of a submuriue tunnel undor tho Dover Straits, connecting tho coasts of England and France, has been long discussed, but lately a moro feasi? ble plan has been broached. This is the establishment of a uteam ferry ou a grand seule, and it is said that both Go? vernments look with favor on tho pro? ject. The boats wilt run from Dover to a point near Calais, and will transport whole trains of cara boldly from tho ono port to the other. Of course, to accom? plish this they must be of mammoth proportions and of prodigious strength. These ferry-boats are to bo 450 feet long, with 50 feet beam, and 32 feet depth of bold. The draught is to be 13% feet, loaded; the diameter of the paddle wheels 50 feet, the displacement 4,000 tone, and tho engines of 7,000 horse? power. Tho estimated speed is an ave? rage of eigbteon knots an hour, taking for the passngo, iu fair weather, seventy minutes, aud in foul, twenty more. Six passages a day are to be made. If this project bo conan rn mated, and there is strong probability that it will, the tra? veler may go to sleep in the night coach at London and wake np the next morn? ing in Paris-never having beon dis? turbed in the meanwhile. DEMOCRATIC ABSENTEES.-All the re oont vutes in tho House of Representa? tives at Washington reveal that at least twenty-five Democratic members are ha? bitually absent. As the Republican ma? jority is not over thirty-und in tboso disintegrating times tbore are always a dozen or n score of malcontents who do not vote with their purty-it is plain to soo that if Democrats were in their seats, mauy important moasures might be de? cided rightly. Washington correspond? ents writo, that had oil tho Democratic members boon present on Wednesday, whon tho case of Genoral Clark, tho Texas member, came up, ho would uot have boon admitted, for thero were seven Republicana who would not subscribo to Governor Davis' shameful outrage ou tho voters of Texas. Our Congressmen wero elected to attend to business, and if they aro away ou t hoir own affairs at homo, or in the metr?polis, thoy deserve to bo reminded sharply of their duty.

"There- is a story of a little dog that barked at tho moon, thinking to atop its course." Union, of loth. We think tho philosopher of tho Union ?B tho first geuiua of tho genus Iiomo who made tho discovery and revealed to tho world what thu little dog thought whilo he waa barking at tho moon. We move, if it be in order, that iu acknowledgment of kia acumen in judging from the hark of a little dog what his thoughts are, he be rewarded with & leather medal, bearing a proper device and inscription. What would that littlo dog say, think you, to tho philosopher and patriot who preaidea aver tho columns of the Union, could hebe brought back into this mundane sphere? Mot boing fully poated in dogology, we will not protend to predict what be would say, were ho hoi b and endowed with the faculty of speech. But were ho a patriotic dog and a sensible dog, we aro or the opinion he would feel fully justified in Baying, " 'I would rather be a dog and bay thc moon,' than auch a patriot aa you." But, speaking of stories, we remember having onco read a atory, not of a "little dog," hut ot a certain sweet-scented, long heardeii animal, who found himself, by a lucky (urn of tho wheel of fortnne, placed upon a cliff that he knew waa in accessible to another animal to which he knew himself io be very inferior, and thence proceeded to pour out a perfect torrent of abuse upon bia superior. The latter, wo aro told, after listening with great compoauro to tho abusive language of tho former, quietly roplied, "I regard thia language as coming, not from you, hut from the placo you occupy." The application we leave to tho reader. ABOUS. Prom Union. Ma. ).. a: That precious electioneering document, . : lied tho "Presentment of the Orand Jury," and signed by th- "virtuous" B. F. Jackson, aa foreman, containa ao many deliberate falsehoods that we will not waato timo in examining and refuting them; but what is said in relation to Union, the District in whioh wo live, ia BO outrageously falao, and without tho slighteat .coloring of truth, that wo cannot allow it to pasa unnoticed. After stating that elevon murders and over GOO whippings have been committed in York, he aaya: "Our investigations in regard to tho other Counties uamod have beon loaa full, bat it ia bolievod from the testimony that an equal or greater number baa been oommitted in Union," Ao. Mow, aa a oitizeu of Union, wo ought to know something of the numbor of outragea committed. We do not claim to know who committed tho outragea, ajid may never know, but aa to their number and cha? racter, ovory reaident baa the means of know? ing, and does know, aa they aro talked about by every ono and published aa current news. We, therofore, challenge the "virtuous" Jack aou and bia many colored aaaociatea, with the aaaiatanco of whlto and black Radicale in Union, to name fifty caaea of whipping in Union aiuco the war. We don't aak for the witnesses to prove tho allegations, for wo know they would not bo forth-coming. All we ask ia a list of fifty whippings, and the names of the parties whipped. Surely out of GOO casca, titty can be given, without diacloa urea ioj Urions to the United Btatea Govern? ment or indi vniu Us. Bat we confesa we havo no hopo or getting ( ny thing tangible from auch a man or euch a jury. Their purpose ia ethic ted when they a end out to the world a lying electioneering document, and they dare uot meot tho troth face to face. We again pronounce tho statement, that there have been GOO whipping i in Union since the war, talso and calumnious; and that the chargo originated in a black and depraved heart-a heart stcoiod to tho Bufferings and wronge of his own race, and pulsates only for pay. Tho writer haa omitted his narnu from no desire of concealment, and the oditor ia au? thorized to give it tn any ouo who ?B disposed to furnish tho proof of the statement of the jury iii regard to Union County. NEMESIS. A CcitE VOR SEA-SICKNESS.-An autho? rity on this subject says: "I um much sar [irised at the opinion, which is so prevalent, of tho incurability of sea? sickness. I beliove the opinion to exist among the non-medical part of the com? munity from sheer iguorunoe, and among sou-going surgeons from a supineness to applying remedies-a fault to which they are rather too subject. In the greater number of instances, I allow the stomach to dischargo its contents once or twice, and then, if tbere is no organio disease, I give five drops of chloroform in a little water, and, if necessary, repeat the dose in five or six hours. The almost instant elicet of this treatment, if coupled with a few simple precautions, is to cause an immediate sensation, as it were, of warmth in tho stomach, accompanied by almost total relief of the nausea and sickness, likewise curing the distressing heacLicho, and usually causing a quiet sleep, from whioh the passenger awakes quito well." Tho great diamond, weighing 154 ouruts, whioh hos been found at tho Cape and is now on its way to England, is already furnished with its legend. It is said to havo been found in tho wall of one of the native huts, where a poor irish adventurer had received hospitality for the night, and that boing surprised by the light shining amid the darkness, he, upon examination, found it to pro? ceed from a clump of tho earth of which the wull was built. Of course the clump was Boon dotaohed by thc visitor, and this Koh-i-noor, with mauy other smallei diamouds, found within. liov. George U. Hepworth, a very po pulur Unitarian clergyman of Now Yolk has recently renounce 1 his faith, ant gutio over to tho Trinitarians, lits ser mou announcing this was loudly ap plauded by his hearers. Mr. Jasper Gonzales ??u lady attended aa Epucopal.. festival, one night last week, in Pensacola, Florida, . leaving their little babe in the care of a none. Upon their return they found the babe sleeping, they' thought, and did not dis? turb it Nest morning the babe was found to be dead, and upon examination it is believed that its nurse administered a too powerful nareotio to quiet it, and thus tbe little babe dropped to an eter? nal sleep.
