London, January 81,^ A telegraphic
despatch to the Lloyds, from their itgent
at Cadiz, confirms the report that it was
the Spanish stoamer Marillo which ran
into and sunk the emigrant ehip. North
Fleet, off Dangeress Light House, oh
the night of the 22d instant. The steam?
ship Marillo, however, was not sank her?
self, as was at one time believed, bat has
arrived at Cadiz, in safety. Hor desti?
nation was Lisbon,'for whiph port she
had/ a oargo, bat, apon entering that
habor, she was signaled not to laud, as
there is au extradition treaty between
Portugal and GreatBritaln, under which
the officers would have been anrren?
dered to the British authorities, to an?
swer the oharges brought against them.
She, consequently, pot to sea again, and
proceeded for Cadiz, as there is no extra?
dition treaty between Great Britain and
Spain. The Marillo sustained no da?
mage by the collision. Hor officers and
orew will soon be examined at Cadiz, in
relation to the disaster.

Washington, January 31.?The Presi?
dent sent the following veto message to
the Senate to-day:
I have the honor to return herewith a
Senate bill, entitled "An Act for the re?
lief of the East Tennessee University,"
without my approval. This claim, for
whioh $18,500 are appropriated out of
the moneys of the United States, arises
in part for tho destruction of property
by troops in time of war, and therefore
the same objections attach to it as were
expressed iu my message of June 1,
1872, returning the Senate bill awarding
$25,000 to Milton Best. If the prece?
dent is once established, that the Go?
vernment is liable for the ravages of war,
the end of demands upon the publio
Treasury cannot be forecast. The loyalty
of the people of the seotion iu which the
University is located, under circum
stances of personal danger and trials,
thus entitling them to the most favorable
construction of the obligation of the Go?
vernment towards them, is admitted,
and nothing bub regard for my duty to
the whole people, in opposing a princi?
ple whioh, if allowed, will entail greater
burdens upon the whole than the relief
whioh will be afforded to a part, by al?
lowing this bill to become a law, could
indaoe me to return it with objections.
Recognizing the claims of these oitizens
to sympathy, and the most favorable
consideration of their claims by the Go?
vernment, I would heartily favor a dona?
tion of the amount appropriated by this
bill for their relief.

The Poor Emigrants'?Hqw Thky are']
Swindled.?Thelkrgb number of people ;
emigrating to Texas have drawn'one a
set of confidence men, who travel on the
trains, get into the good graoes of the.|
ignorant emigrants, and succeed in
swindling them out of lafge earns. Theee
confidence men have been at work for
the past Bix months ou the trains of the
Mobilo and Montgomery, aud New Or?
leans and Texas Railroads, and have
plied their nefarious business with great
success, aud in evrry instance have suc?
ceeded in evading detection or arrest.
The emigrants, as a class, are men who |
have been living in the buck woods all
their lives, have never visited a city, and
are therefore very ignorant and easily
duped. The manuor in which they are
swindled, as related by an uufortunate
victim who was robbed of $1,000?all
the money he bad?is as follows: On the
train, they are generally approaohed by
a man who engages iu conversation with
them, finds out where they are going,
how much money they have, and, in
faot, everything about them. Ncuriug
the oity, the new-made friend, who, by
this time, has made himSelf quite popu?
lar, and represented to them thut he also
is going to the same part of Texas to
look after his plantation, eta., remarks
that ho wijl have to pay out a greal deal
of money, but has uothing bnt gold,
which he dislikes to spend. In proof of
his assertion, he carelessly handle* n
groat deal of bogus gold pieces, and asks
the amigruut to let him have all of his
greenbacks, or a certain Rum, for a
short while, he taking the gold as secu?
rity. Frequently the bogus gold is
taken, but most generally, asiu the ease of
yesterday, a check on an unknown bank.
The check is received, the emigrant
hands over all his hard earuings, whioh
he has been laying Up for years, and as
roou as the train stops the swindler
jumps oil aud disappears. The mau
who was robbed in this manner yester?
day, when a short distance from the city,
of 81,000, appeared quite heart-broken,
as it was everything he hud in the world,
having disposed of all his little property,
goods, etc., to raise ths amount to ena?
ble him to go to Texas with bis family.
Many aud many u one bis been robbed
iu this manner, and a short time t-inaa
the writer, while on a train, was shown a
oheok by an emigrant ou which ha had
advanced some $500, and was asked
whether it was good. A glance was suf?
ficient to show that it was worthless, to
say uothing of tho signature "O. .1).
Sucker." And yet this uufortuuate emi?
grant was "sucked iu" by h paper which
clearly showed ou its face that it was a
fraud. Some steps should bc? taken to
prevent these iguoraut people from
being swindled aud ruined in this out?
rageous manner. ' Most of them, how?
ever, would be far better off by remain?
ing iu their old homes, where they are
oomfottably situated, thau breaking up
and removing to a country of whioh they

, (E^gBTIkld Gold Minks and Bail*
boads.? -Of course 'most of our people
have heard a good deal of the Faulkner,
Qaattlebaum, and Landram geld mines,
or rather gold lands, some three or four
miles aboTe Meeting Street. Mining
upon these lands baa been began from
time to time within the past ten or twelve
years-, but owing to the war, and the
coDseqaenV^onfasion and want of capi?
tal, but little has been effected. Re?

the belief that untold wealth lies buried
in this favored region. And of this opin?
ion is a Mr. Wilkie, an enterprising
Northern man, of Soheneotady, New

looked into the matter. Mr. Wilkie has
been on a visit to the gold region lately,
and ia so well satisfied with what he Raw

Southern States, and the Southern cli?
mate will suit these f rev zing people hot?
ter than the "eager air" of a Northern

Republican that the Southern planters,
who are disgruntled with sable, hid bet?
ter try the olive complexion. Ab a mere
matter of speculation, it is probable that
the payment of the traveling expenses of
a few hundreds out of our 2,000 Italian
visitors would bo a profitable investment

plaining of the want of labor. Yery few

A Co mo us Surr.?A Very carious suit,
arising out o( ono of the inoidenU of the
late war between France and Germany,
will shortly be brought to trial in the
French oourts. During the war, a Ger?
man soldier was shot Hear the village of
Vaux, wherenpon a Prussian column
swept down on the plaoe and captured
twenty-eight peasants who had fled for
refuge to a chnroh. The Prussians, de?
termined to have revenge" tor the death
of the slain soldier, announced to the
frightened captives that three of their
number would be shot, leaving the selec?
tion of the victims to the prisoners. The
Prussians proposed that they should
draw lota, and kindly offered them the
use of a soldier's helmet for the purpose
of an urn, but the offer was declined.
Finally, after they had beon shut up in
the ohnrch for seventy-five hours, they
reported the three required victims bad
been seleoted by a majority, though no
information is given as to how the soleo
tion was made. The unfortunate men,
finding themselves in a minority, were
led out and shot, and now their widows
demand damages from the twenty-five
survivors, on the ground that the three
should have been selected by lot.

Tea.?When your friend aud neighbor
invites you with the beat of feelings to
"oomo up some evuniog and tako a cup
of tea," does she really tempt you to
partake of a compound of Prussian blue,
gypsum aud tea leaves? In Glasgow
the result of an analysis recently made,
has been that out of twenty-seven sim?
ples of black tea aixTonly were unadul?
terated. One package, bought at a very
low price, contained a single leaf of gen?
uine tea, being . probably what Hood
calls a "sloe" poison. The green tea
was worse. Not a gingle specimen, but
what was either painted or adulterated.
This is'not done where sold, but in Chi?
na. Four parts of gyppom -to three of
Prussian blue is the regular mixture,
aud half a pound of this suffices for 100
pounds of green tea. The Chinese do
not doctor this tea from any malice; but
simply because it makes the leaves look
uniform and pretty, aud "foreigners
prefer it."

tho dry nurses of the United States
Treasury, becauso he Skid that the way
to the resumptiuu of specie payments is
to resume; but now that the Senate Fi
aanao Committee, through its Chairman,
Souator Sherman, has virtually recom?
mended Mr. Greeley's plan, it may bo re?
ceived with more favor. Secretary
Boutwell's method of securing resump?
tion seems to be not to resnme."
