He said but that for the University of Ijondon, Mr. Lowe would be without a . seat ip Parliament; his nupopularity was such that his appearance on any hust? ings would endanger his lifo. Through? out the whole of Disraeli's speech, the mob was polling with stones tho win? dows of' the ball in which the meeting was held.

A private letter from Havana says the affair at Trinidad is regarded as an ex? ceptional case, and not at all indicative of a general uprising of tho negroes and the burning of plantations. The opinion prevails that tbe insurgents will be able to cross tbe Old'Trocha iu com? parative force. Heretofore they havo been able occasionally to oross in small parties. Should they succeed in cross? ing In large nambers, tbe burning of plantations is iuevitable. A seorot or? ganization is thought to exist, with ramifications extending to all part} of the island, tho object of which is to give moral und material support to the insurgents, who, if eucce&sful in their operations in tho Central and Eastern Departments, will endeavor to pass into the Villas District; and it is conceded that tho Spaniards are just now in a tight place, and need men aud money to carry on the war. The want of both is apparent, and is telling severely against the Spaniards. Washington, February 5.?Iu the Senate, Oarpentor introduced a bill to restore tho rights of the State of Lou? isiana, and said he would ask that it be printed and lie on the table for the pro sent.

Wasuinoton, February ?5.?Tho Houso spout most of the day's session on tho army appropriation bill, but did not finish it. A bill extending tho timo in which to complete a railroad iu Lou? isiana from the Texas Stato Hue to the Mississippi River, opposite Vieksburg, was reportod by Moray, from tho Com? mittee on Public Lauds, and was scut to the Committee of tho Whole Iu tho Senate, West's bill to improve tho mouth of tho Mississippi, us passed by tho Senate, direots tho Secretary of War to assume full control over the par? ticular channel ut the mouth of the Mississippi River, in tho course of ex? cavation or improvement by the Govern? ment of the United States, so far as may bo necessary to the carrying on and protection of snch exoavation aud improvement, and until the same bo oomplotod. There was a long discussion ovor tho bankrupt bill. Carpenter's bill to re? store the rights of the Stato of Louisi? ana commences with a long preamble, j deolaring that there is no Governor, Llentenant-Governor, Secretary of State, Attornoy-Genoral, Auditor of Public Accounts, Superintendent cf Education or Legislature, eleoted by tbe legal voters of tbo State of Louisi? ana, aooording to tho Constitution and laws thereof; nnd tbora is no provision iu said Constitution and laws for tbe eleotioh of said State officers before tbo next regular election to bo held in No? vember, 187C; that tbo said offices aro now filled do facto, by persons claiming to hold tbem, under a preloaded, fradu I lent ?nd void cunvars of the votes, given at tbe lust general election; that a pre? tended Legislature has been organized in pursuance of illegal general orders, issued by a Judge ol the Uuited States Circuit; tbat tbo President's proclama? tion recognizing tbo said persons as legal ofllecrd of .slid State was i"Kned upon tho representations of said por sous, who, it now appears, uro not legal officers; that tbo people of Louisiana ar? in danger of being oppressed nnd in? volved iu vexatious litigation by the acts of tbo pretended Legislature, and tbat tbo public peace iu Louisiana is now preserved, und cau only bo preserved during the existing state of things, at tbe expense of the Uuited States, and by retaining a part of tbo army in said State. Therefore, tho bill provides for holding uu election iu Louisiana on the fourth Tuesaay of next Muy, fur tho above uamed State officers, and for such members of tbe Legislature as ought to have been chosen on November 4, 1872. Tbe President of tbe United States is required to appoint somo person, or de? signate some officer' of tho army, not below tbo ruuk of Major-General, to act as superintendent of said election. This superintendent is to appoint two citi? zens of Louisiana, of opposite political parties, to be State Registrars; the re? gistration to bo commenced within tweuty days after tbo enactment of this bill, aud tu be completed ten days prior to tbo dato of election. These regis? trars are required to appoint two super? visors of registration, of opposite politi? cal parties, in each parish, except Jef? ferson aud Orleans; for tbe former of which there arc to be four supervisors, and for tho latter two iu euch ward. The bill proceeds, at great length, to proscribe the details of registration and election?these provisions being sub? stantially tbe same as those coutained in Carpenter's bill of last year. Iu case tbe President appoints n civilian to bo superintendent of election, tbe latter is to receive ?5,001) for his services; und if any army officer shall be appointed su? perintendent, and shall wilfully fail to perform tbe duties prescribed by this bill, be shall be ilued not exceediug $1,000, or bo imprisoned ut bard labor not exceeding one year.

New York, February 5.?John J. Jones, well known in social, theatrical and political circles, is dead. It now transpires that the recent dis? solution of the heavy cotton firm of Thomas Perkins & Co., 141 Pearl street, was owing to the fact that all of tbe five clerks bad been speculating for two years, and making good tbeir losses of the firm's 'funds. Unable to longer con? ceal their defalcations, they made a clean breast, at tbo commencement of the year, when dissolution followed by mutual oonseut. H. M. Tuber, the wealthy cotton broker, who was special Ipartuor for $100,000, and brothor-iu-luw of one of the defaulting clerks has been appointed receiver, by order of the Supreme Court, und will settle the claims of tbo firm. Philadelphia, February 5.?Tbe physicians who weut to North Carolina for tho Siamese Twins have returned. The bodies will be hero to-uiglit by ex? press. Tbe examination will not tnke place for two or three days, und will then bo conduotcd by the College'of Physicians. Tbo bodies uro reported to be well preserved. K.MiEiau, February 5.?A bill passed the Senate to-day, und will undoubtedly puss tbo House, authorizing the bonds of tbe State issued to aid iu tbo con? struction of tbe North Carolina Rail I road to be changed for now six per cont. bonds, at tho rato of fifty cents on the dollar, for both principal and interest.

Arkansas Brlguntl?. Tbe subjoined strange bat true narra-1 tiru is copied from the Little Rock (Ar? kansas) Gazette, of a recent date. Mr. < G. It. Cramp, to whom tbe Gazette ao-! knowledges its indebtedness for the i faote, is a native of Richmond, and well known there as a gentleman of nndoubt-': od veracity. The account read? liko one, of tbe olden time stories of the deeds of 1 Dink Turpin aud Claodo Duval. Thej* Gazette says: From Mr. G. R Crump, a reprosoiita tivo of the whulesulo iuuue?? ?tuu oigaf house of Edmuuds, Pettigrew & Co., of j Memphis, who arrived from Hot Springs! last uigbt, and who was on Thursday's; stago goiog to the springs at tho time of trro robbery referred to in Friday's Ga-' z?tle, wo learn tbo particulars of the af? fair. There was ouo stage aud two light, road wagons or ambulances, the stage, being iu front and tbe other two vchi-j clos immediately in tbe rear. At the; Guinea placo, five milos this Bide of Hot Springs, tbo stngeB were stopped toi I water the stock. While watoriug, five men rodo up, coming from toward Hot| Springs, and passed on by. Each man woro a heavy, blue army over-coat, bnt; neither of tbom was masked. Nothing was then thought of the matter and the; vehicles moved on. * '} After going nbout half a mile, the men who had passed tbem at the Guinea place, rode up from behind, and the; first thing that Mr. Crump, who was iu: tho front stago, beard, was an order to tbe driver to stop, or bis head would be blown off. Tho stago was stopped, and on throwing up tho curtain, be saw a pistol pointed at him and others in tbe stago, telling tbem to get out quick, ac? companied by an oath. Thoy got out, and us thoy did so, were ordered to throw up their bands. Threo men were in front of them with oooked pistols and another with a shot-gun, while on the other side of tbe stage was still an? other?all pointing their weapons to? wards the passengers aud tbo drivor. After getting tbe passengers out, they made them form in a kind of oircle, so tbat all of them could be covered by ; pistols and guns. The leader then "went through" each passouger, takiug ull the watches, jewelry and money that could conveniently be found tbut were of special value. From ex-Governor Burbank. of Dacota, they obtained ?310 iu money, a diamond pin aud gold watch. A gentleman named Taylor, from Lowell, Massachusetts, went up ! for ?650 iu money. A passenger from Syracnse, New York, gave up his last nickel, ?160. Mr. Johnny Dietrich, our boot and shoo merchant, lost $5 in money and a Hue gold wutch. He bad ?50 bohides this in tho watch pocket of bis pints that they did not lind. Mr. Charley Moore, of the ice house, gave up ?70 in monoy and his silver watch, but they returned the latter, stating tbat they did not want any silver watches. A ' Mr. Peoples, who resides near Hot j Springs, lost ?20. Three countrymeu lont about ?15. The express package, I containing about ?450, was also taken. { Mr. Crump had his watch and about ?10 to ?50 in monoy gobbled. After I getting through with tho passougcrs, j they tore open several mail sucks in search of registered letters, but did not get aoy. Whilo the main party was en? gaged iu this work another took out tbe best horse in tbo ooaoh, saddled him, rodo up and down tbe road about fifty yards two or threo timos, and remarked that "ha would do." After this, tbo "Captain" went to each passenger in turn and questioned him as to where bo was from, aud in? quired if there woro any Southern men along. Mr. Crump spoke up, as did ouo or two others, tbat they were South? ern men. They then asked if there wer3 any one who sorvod iu tbe Con? federate army during tbo war. Mr. j Crump ausworod that bo did. They 1 questioned him as to what command, I Third Richmond Howitzers,] and re? marking tbat bo looked liko un bonos! fellow, ouo who was telling tho truth, banded him back bis wutoh and money, saying thej' did not want to rob Con j federate soldiers; tbat tbo Northern j men had driven tbem into outlawry, and they intended to make tbom pay for it. I Coming to Mr. Taylor, of Loweli, they I asked where bo was from. "St. Louis," j be responded. Tho "Captain" eyed hini closely. "Yes, aud you aro a news I paper reporter for tho St. Louis Demo cm:, tho vilest paper iu tbo West. Go to Hot Springs and soud tbe Democrat u telegram ubout this affair, and give them J my compliments." Governor Btirbauk asked them to re turn his papers, sayiug they could be j of no benefit to tbem. Tho "Captain" .squatted down ou bis knees and com? menced examining them. Turning round to bis followers, be said: "Boys, 1 believo be is a detective?shodt him!" ! and forthwith bo was covered with three ; pistols. "Stop," said tho chief, look I ing further, "1 guos? it's all right," and ' bauded tbo Governor bis papers. Cum \ ing to tbo gentleman from Syraousc, N. j Y., who was going to tbe springs for ' bis health, bo asked tbom to givo him back llvo dollars, so tbat ho could tele graph homo. Eyeing him closely, tbe I chief respoudod tbut if be had no friends or money, bo had hotter-go nrxl die?that ho would bo littlo loss any way. Tbo follow with tbo shot-gun kept pointing it nt tho St. Louis Demo? crat mau, they termed him, making such cheerful remarks as these: "I'll bet 1 can shoot bis bat off without , touching u hair of bis head." All of Ihem seemed to bo jolly fel ? lows, nnd oujoyed the fuu very much, i None of tbo passengers were armed, and \ as ?dr. Crump expressed it, "They had ' the drop or them."
