The Great Western Telegraph Compa?
ny bas paid the ii rat instalment of $5U0,
000 for the manufacture of a new ocean
oable. The work is to be done in Eng?
land, and the projsot is fairly started.
The oompany has a capital equal to
86,750,000, and it proposes to laya cable
from England to New York, by way of
Bermuda, with a branch line to St.
Thomas, and a subsequent extension to
Brazil. The estimated cost of making
and laying the cable is equivalent to the
amount of the capital, and, as a practical
guarantee, the directors have stipulated
that the contractors shall take one-third
of the whole number of shares. Agree?
ments have also been made with the
Great Northern Telegraph Company to
seourc the trans-Atlantic traffic of Den?
mark, Norway, Sweden, Russia, China
and Japan ; and when tim Great North?
ern Company establishes its projeoted
North Atlantic line, a joint agreement
will be made by which the new oable
oompany will enjoy the important ad?
vantage of a duplicate route between
England and America. It is also pro?
posed to establish a tariff of charges
considerably lower than those of the ex?
isting companies.

i The following; it. tho message of ,kbe
President, scot to the Senate ton Mon
day, with the correspondence on the
Alabama claims: J S
To the Senate of the ??nth?d States: I
transmit herewith the correspondence
which has recently taken place rea poet
the differences of opinion, whioh have
arisen between this Government and
that of Great Britain with regard to the
power of the tribunal of arbitration
created nuder the treaty signed at Wash?
ington, May 8, 1871. I respectfully in?
vite , the attention of the Senate to the
proposed article submitted by the
British Government, with tho object of
removing the differences which seem to
threaten the prosecution of the arbitra?
tion, and request au expression by the'
Senate of their disposition in regard to
advising and consenting to the formal
adoption of on article, such as is pro?
posed by the British Government. The
Senate is aware that tho consultation
with that bod; in advance of entering
into agreements with foreign States bas
many precedents,
lu the early days of tho republic,
General Washington asked their advice
upon pending questions with such
powers. The most important recent
precent i? that of the Oregon boundary
treaty, in 1816. The importance of the
result- hanging upon the present state
of the treaty with Great Britain leads
me to follow these former procedente,
aud to desire the counsel of the Senate
in advance of agreeing to the proposals
of Great Britain. U. S. GRANT.
WASHINGTON, May 13, 1872.
The following despatch from Minister
Sohecck to Secretary Fish contains the
draft of the additional article to the
treaty proposed by the British Govern?
ment:
LONDON, May, 1872.-Lord Granville,
a few minutes einoe, submitted to me in
person the following draft of an article,
whioh, if the Government of the United
States think flt to adopt, will be ac?
cepted by her Majesty's Government.
I made no comment on it, but said I
would telegraph it to you immediately:
Whereas the Government of her Bri?
tannic Majesty has contended in the re?
cent correspondence with the Govern?
ment of the United States as follows,
namely: That such indirect claims as
those for the national losses stated in
the oases presented on the part of the
Government of the United States to tho
tribunal of arbitration at Geneva to
have been sustained by thu loss in the
transfer of tho American commercial
marine to the British flag, the enhanced
payments of insurance, tho prolongation
of the war, and the addition of a largo
sum to the cost of the war, aud the sup?
pression of the rebellion, first, were not
included in the treaty of Washington,
and, further and secondly, should not
bo admitted in prinoiple as growing out
of the acts committed by particular ves?
sels alleged to have been enabled to com?
mit depredations upon the shipping of a
belligerent by reason of such want of
diligence in the performance of the neu?
tral obligations as that which ia imputed
by the United States to Great Britain;
and whereas the Government of her Bri?
tannic Majesty has also declared that
the principles involved io the second of
the contentions hereinbefore set forth
will guide their aonduot in future; and
whereas the President of the United
States, while adhering to bis contention
that tho said claims were iuoluded in tho
treaty, adopts for the future the princi?
ple contained in the second of the said
contentions so far as to deolare that it
will hereafter guide the conduot of the
Government of the United States, and
the two countries are, therefore, agreed
in this respeot. In consideration there?
of, the President of the United States,
by and with the advioa and consent of
the Senate thereof, consents that he will
make no olaim on the part of the United
States in respeot of indirect losses as
aforesaid before the tribunal of arbitra?
tion at Geneva. SCHENCK.
THE RELEASE or THE HAVANA STU?
DENTS.-King Amadeus has at length
taken some action in regard to the stu?
dents who, because of their thoughtless?
ness in the cemetery at the grave of Cus
tanon, were cast into prison. There is
no necessity to recount the terrible tra?
gedy by whioh a number of the compa?
nions of these youths were sacrificed by
the Cuban volunteers last November.
After months of imprisonment, these
boys, we are told, are pardoned by tho
King. But what kind of a pardon? Re?
leased from prison, the prison garb re?
moved, they aro placed on board a ship
and seut to Spain. Their pareuts and
home are in Cuba, yet these boys are to
be pardoned by beiug banished from
their native land. Perhaps, after all, it
is for the best. Did they remain in
Cuba, the bloodthirstiness of the volun?
teers might lead them, on the slightest
provocation, to gratify their revenge on
these unfortunate youths. Banishment
and pardon are possibly synonymous
terms in Spain.

During the war the Coouty Court of
Stokes borrowed a sum of money from
the bank to equip volunteers; they sub?
sequently borrowed money from Gen.
Poindexter, with individual security, to
pay the debt to tho bank. Since the war
tho Commissioners have held that tho
debt was void, aa it was oreated for war
purposes. Gen. Poindexter sued tho
endorsers on the note, and at last term
of Davidson Court reoeived a vordiot for
the whole sum, prinoipal and interest.
An appeal has been taken.

I, Daniel Horlbeck, Clerk of said
Court, do hereby certify that no bill of
indictment hos been found against Thoa.
Hancock, and no bench warrant hos been
issued against said Hancock.
I further cortify that a bench warrant
was issued against Wm. Wesley Scott,
und said warraut contained no other
name. All the bench warrants issued
from the office contained the name of
but one individual against whom b'll.s
have been found.
Witness my hand and seal of said Court,
at Charleston, this 13th day of May,'
A. D. 1872.
DANIEL HORLBECK,
C. C. C. U. S. for South Caroliuo.
After some discussion, the court de?
cided it was not admissbile, when Gen.
Carlington olTered as testimony the
forged and interlined warraut upon
which Mr. J. T. Hancock wai arrested,
and the order of Judge Erskioo dis?
charging Mr. Hancock. Tho court, upon
this evidence, required the prisoner to
give bond in the sum of 32,500, for his
appearance at the Superior Court.
The prisoner thea passed out of the
room to secure bondsmen, wheu he was
arrested by a deputy sheriff on a benoh
warraut from the Superior Court, oa a
oharge of false imprisonment and alter?
ing a bench warrant. Hendrioks showed
a disposition to resist this process, by
telling the officer to get out of his way
he had nothing to do with bim; but he
was promptly arrested. At last accounts,
he had failed to give bond in either case.
Judge Hopkins required a bond of
81.000, whioh Mr. Hendrioks has failed
to give. He was committed to prison

The Democratic Convention of the
great State of New York bas in effect
endorsed Greeley and Brown. It has
fairly and enthusiastically committed
itself to* tho Cincinnati platform. It
thus puts behind it the whole record of
the war, accepts the work of the war as
final, (constitutional amendments, negro
suffrage and all,) lifts itself from the
slough of continuous and certain defeat,
and turns hopefully toward the problems
of the future. The Empire State is in
full accord with Virginia, Illinois, Texas,
Connecticut, South Carolina and the
rest. "New York casts her sixty-six
votes lor Horaoe Greoley."
A cumber of Bonapartist agents are
said to be infesting the South of France,

this agenoy a pretext to enter private
residences, where, if the owners be favor?
able to the Empire, he leaves hisoiroular
for distribution in the little oommunity
in whioh the master of the house may
reside. By these agencies, it is stated, a
great deal of money is raised in a quiet
way for transmission to the uncrowned
recluse at Ohiselhurst.
MB. GBKELET'S WHITE HATS.--When
Mr. Greeley left his editorial room ou
resigning the command of the Tribune,
we read that "in one oorner of the room
there are nearly thirty boxes, from the
different New York hatters, each con?
taining a white hat. They had oome in
so fast that Mr. Greeley distributed them
to the employees in the building. The
compositors must have oome in for a
good share, as the majority of them, as
they passed to the composing room that
evening, were crowned with white hats."
That noble soldier and sterling patriot,
Gen. John C. Breckinridge, whom the
wholo South delights to honor, urges the
support of Greeley and Brown by tho

ANOTHER DISSENTER.- Representative
Yooam deolines to siga the call for a
meeting of the Legislature, for the fol?
lowing reasons:'
My sense of duty to the people com?
pels me to decline appending my name
to this call. Without discussing the
constitutional question involved, I most
say that I have no confidence that if the
General Assembly did meet, it would
furnish any remedy for existing evils.
Indeed, I am bound to believe that the
proposed remedy wonld *t>n!y increase
tho disease.
During its recent session of 107 days,
the General Assembly had ample oppor?
tunity to correot known evils, from which
tho people still suffer; yet it did nothing.
Those evils, in my opinion, can only be
corrected at the ballot-box.
The General JAssembly cannot, or will
not, remedy them. The Treasury is
empty; the public sohools throughout
the State have dosed, or must soon
close; the asylums of charity and the
houses for the insane, which civilized
communities maintain throughout all
financial emergencies, are, for want of
public, funds, kept open solely by private
oredit; and yet it is proposed that the
General Assembly shall convene, and
thus absorb the moneys that will be paid
into the Treasury for delinquent taxes in
tho month of June. The General As?
sembly certainly can do nothing to re?
store tho broken-down credit of the
State. It cannot raise the value of our
securities a single cent, for nobody will
trust either it or the State officers. It is
looked upon by tho people at large as a
Scotch witch, that may do a great deal
of harm, but can't possibly do any good.
Moreover, I do not think it just that
ths people of the State should be put to
any extra expense to relieve the public
institutions in the present emergency, as
there are several of the State officers who
might well furnish the means to oarry on
the government out of their own pockets,
without asking to bs ro-imbursed, or
having any claim upon the gratitude of
the people for such a contribution to our
publio conscience fund. "Where is our
Financial Agent?" I understand that be
has not Rattled up with all the Senators.
Has this got anything to do with the
proposed meeting of the General Assem?
bly? If it has, tho Financial Board
should make him pay up, as they are au?
thorized to require him to make a settle?
ment of all Iiis accounts.
SLEEPING ON A RAILROAD TRACK
TUE PENALTY.-The night train on its
way to Florence Saturday, when within
a milo of its destination, met an obstruc?
tion in two men-one white and one
colored-sleeping on tho track. It, was
impossible to do anything to avert the
disaster, as they were not discovered
until it was too late. The cowcatcher
threw the coloroi man out of the way
without injuring him, but mangled the
white man, causing almost instant death.
The names of the men could not be as?
certained.
HARD ON THS MLLE.-On last Wednes-1
day a young man riding upon a mule ]
had just time enough to reach his father's i
piuco, about three miles from Winns- i
boro, whither he had been on business,
when it began to rain heavily. Strip?
ping the saddle and bridle from the
mule, he jumped into the piazza of the
house out of the rain, and let the animal
go. The latter walked off a few yards,
and was about to enter the door of the
stable, when a flash of lightning came,
and it fell dead in its tracks.
