Jordan is to re? turn to the Island, aooompaoied by Aguilera. and the former will assume the chief command of tho insargonts. The Diario further states that Aldtna ond his oompanious intend to re-estab? lish the Ouban Junta in New York, with the object of regaining tbo influ? ence and power formerly held by tbut body, and creating a situation in Cuba similar to tbat existing in 1869, by tbe commission of nil possible depreda? tions by tbe insurgent*. It says Cap taiu-General Ooucba knows much more of the plans of tbe insurgents )han what it now publishes. It gives publicity to tbo foregoing because Concha dislikes mysteries. Concha is resolved, as on former occasions, to combat the enemies of Spaiu every? where. A letter to tbe Diario reports that strong efforts are bciug made in Washington to obtain tho recognition of tbe Cubans as belligerents. Tbo letter conples the names of Aldma and Collector Casey with these efforts, and says the object is to throw ou th*l market the Cuban bonds held iu Wash ngton. London, December 28.?Three of the emigrant ship Copsputrock arrived at Madeira, and report tbo Cope patrook, from London for New York, burned off St. Helena. 465 persons lost. London, December 28.?The 'limes' Berlin correspondent Bays tbo ques? tion is being discussed at Berlin, whe? ther it is possible to punish the Car lists for tbe outrage of seizure of the German ship Gustav. Advices from 6an Sebastian are to the effect tbat tho Gustav is deeply imbedded in the I mud, aud tbat the Oarlists were busily eugaged in nnlouding her. The Cap? tain of the Gastav was slightly wound? ed by the Carlists, Madrid, Deoember 28.?Food is re ported to be very scarce at Pamplona. All known Oarliet sympathizers are being expelled from that city. London, December 26.?A Berlin special says nothing has been made public during the laut few days regard? ing the Yon Arnim case which would lead to tbo impression that a remission of the sentence would be granted. It is known, however, that the Count's influential friends are at work in bis behalf, aud have yet hopes tbat their efforts may ultimately be crowned with success. Berlin, December 26.?The report that Queen Victoria had writteu Em? peror William, urging bim to adopt a more moderate policy with regard to the strife now iu progress between the ohurch and State, causes much com? ment here, and is regarded in Ultra? montane circles with much favor.

New Orleans, December 23.?The sub-oommittee appointed by the Con? servative!! aud Democratic party, to witness the canvassing and compiling of the returns by the Returning Board, to-day promulgated tho re? turns of the election held November 2, for Congressmen, Stute Treasurer and members of the Legislature, certifying under oath that the statements and compilation wer? compiled by tbem from sworn duplicate returns in their possession, and have been by them compared with duplicates in the pos? session of said board and - corrected 'hereby, and correspond to the com? pilation and canvass, poll by poll und paris]; by parish, made by said board; and, therefore, certify and declare the following named persons were duly and lawfully elected. Here follows a list of the names of those elected, showing the election of four Conserva? tives aud two Republican Congress? men; the eleotion of Monoare, Con? servative, as State Treasurer, by -1.851 majority, and tbe eleotion of 71 Con? servatives and 37 Republicans to the Legislature, Carroll parish is excluded from the oon it of tbo Returning Board. Tho Conservative members to-day witherjw from the board be? cause of its arbitrary ruling. Mr. Ar roy also withdrew, and will givo rea? sons to-morrow for his withdrawal. The returns, ns compiled by the board to date, givo tbo Conservatives forty six aud tho Republicans forty-seven members of tbe House ?ouo majority for tbo Republicans. Tho Conserva? tives are despondeut and tho Republi? cans jubilant over tho result. Tho Conservative Bub-committeo presented a protest to tho Rotumiug Board, in which, after rouowiug thu arbitrary uction taken, tboy Bay: The responsibility for such a step?striking at the root of our form of government, as it does?is a grave ouc, and such usurpation bus always reacted in u terrible manner wherever it bus boon adopted in America, and this commit tco trusts that its gruvity has been wull weighed by your body, us it ulono must bear it, as this uommittoo cau share no part of the burden by cither continuing its connection with your body and lending a soomiug acqui? escence by its continued prcsonco. Having exhausted by this final pro? test tbe lust moans of resistance to this revolutionary decision, as wo regard it, this committee now leaves the re? sponsibility where it belongs, aud completes its duty by surrendering its trusts to tho constituency whom it represents and placing before the peo? ple of the Statu und Union, iu its proper light, tho action of tho board und this committee, for them to puss ou us a political court of last resort, vo judge the cause of Louisiana, decide the question nod decree tbo conse? quences thereof. NbwYobk, December 26.?The fol? lowing is the comparative outtuu state tneut for '.he week ending December 2G: Receipts ut all United Stuten ports for the week ending the 2G, 162.594? same time lust year, 215,594; total re? ceipts to date, 1,980,617?same dute laut year, 1,763,587; exports for the week. 102,870?sumo week last yeur, 91,480; total exports to date, 994.378? same date lust year, 79G.82G; stocks ut all United States ports 789,060?s?me time lust yeur, 734,681; stock at inte? rior tuwus, 156,405?same time last year, 134,838; stock at Liverpool, 541,000?same time lust year, 475,000; American n flout for Great Britain, 401,000?same time last year, 106,000. The market for cotton on spot Iiub as? sumed u much firmer touo duriug the week, aud prices show uu improve? ment of This ad van en was estub lished early in tho week, and apparent? ly was bused ou a decrease in receipts uud free export movemeut, aud many lurgo receivers have withdrawu their stocks from market. This, however, is ouly true of better grades, which are really scarce und worth more money comparatively. Tho medium aud lower qualities do not show auy great strength, aud improved prices tiow current are regarded as full figures. The export movemeut, though slightly iu excess of last week, is not sufficient in extout to attraot uuy great attention, as purchases apparently were merely of old lots, which were wanted to Iii 1 freight engagements. As to the spinning interest, these deal? ings were geuorally limited to such lots as could be used ut ouce. So from general indications it does not appear that improvement can he very well supported unless foreigu advices are moro favorable than ut present. For future delivery, the turn bus again been in fuvor of the seller, but tirmuoHs iu prices was mainly due to the porcbasers of the short interest to cover. Iu fact, the entire upward movemeut appears to he u speculative one, us there were several large sale* for later mouths, including lower rungo of prices. Closing dealings were very light. Tho totul sales of the wook were 201,917, of which 9,237 were ou spot und balance for future delivery. New Oiileanh, December 27.?Dun. C. liverly, who hud a collision with Gov. Wurmoth, is dead. Byerly was a printer. He came to New Orleans in 1815, and was forty-oight years old, uud, at the time of the uufortuu ito oc? currence, was managing editor of the Bulletin. A duel was pending between Mr. Jewell, of the Bulletin, und Gov. Warmotb, which was to have been fought to-morrow, iu Alabama, with dueling pistols, nt ten puces. Washington, December 27.?It is positively stated that Shoriduu will be in Now Orleans on tho 4th of January as a visitor, with orders iu hie pocket from the President to he promulgated at Gen. Sheridan's discreliou, which will give him immediate sway iu that section. This is probably true. The < Preside ut shirks tho responsibility of1 ordering Gen. Emory through Gen. McDowell in an emergency. He. evi? dently wants u man there who will do j the work without iuvolviug the Presi? dent beforo tho country. The killing of Byerly by ex-Gov. Wurmoth occasions much comment here to-day among all ulusses, nud fours are expressed that it may lead to u genera! disturbance; but gentlemen from New Orleans don't appreheud such u result, while they admit thut the quarrel between these parties in? creases the prevalaut uneasiness. Thorn are no indications of u con? templated organized resistance to the decisions of the Returning Board, iu fact, the more prominent Democrats iu New Orleans have counseled a con? trary course. There is fear, bo wovor, that rush conduct ou the part of a few might precipitate a collision of urins among the many, und thus lead to uotivu Federal interference. It is | kuowu thut tht) Executive Department is closely watching the course of events in Louisiana, and has recently re-1 ceivud much private lulormution on the subject; and further, that the Pre? sident has oarnostly expressed his lie termination to preserve the peace. The Legislature meets on the 4th of January, wheu it is expected that stern opposition will be made iu the House of Representatives to the rnl iugs of tho Returning Bourd, uud to this time prominent persons hero uro looking with much solicitude. Augusta, Ga , December 2S.?Two men were killed at Columbus. M. vV. Murphoy, Chief of Police, while at temntiug to arrest some drunken des? peradoes from Cussula, Ala., was mor? tally wounded. Milford Bug ley, one of the despcradoos who attacked trie police, died Sunday morning. The friends of tho assailants having threat? ened to break open the jail und rescue licD, Bugley, the outraged citizens de? termined to deal summarily with the surviving murderer. The SuerilV called on tho military for assistance, and they responded, remaining ou duty all Sunday night, thus preserving the pence. Marshal Mnrphey was buried Sunday afternoon; 6,000 people attended his funeral. JLouisviiAiB, December 23 ?A spe? cial to the. Courier-Journal gives an ac? count of a fatal shooting affray in Mercer County, Kentucky, yesterday, iu wliioh two men wore killed nud one mortally wounded. A quarrel oc? curred iu tho morning about a dog, iu which Isaiah Gohhert shot a man named Daniols in the leg, inflicting a ilesli wound. In tho afternoon, Joe Davenport, a towu constable, assem? bled u posse and wcut to arrest Goh? hert. Upon tho approach of the posse, Gohhert aod a man named Herriug lired ou Davonport, but without effect. Davenport then et rook Oobhert on the head with a above!, nud Herring shot Daveuport through the body, killing him instantly. Gurland Davenport, u brother of the constable, here inter? fered and was ahot and killed by Her ring, who theu escaped, und is sup? posed to have com** to Louisville. Gobhert's wound is mortui. Best, tbe man who murdered tbe postmuster ut Luucuster, Kentucky, Mouduy night, is said to have previously killed six meu. The quurrel iu tins instance aroso out of a controversy in regard to the ownership of luud. The murderer is still at large. Washington, December 25.?Pinch back leaves to-night. He has us-ur unces nud feels assured that be will In seated, and tbat contingent questions will bo cousidored afterwards. Au incendiary fire ot Clarendon, Ar? kansas, destroyed $50,000 worth o: I property. Two negroes were killed iu a row iu I New Orleuus. In another row two soldiers were wounded severely. New Yoke, December 20.?A nolle pros, was ent-red iu tho case of Judge MoOue vs. Dana, of tbe Sun, for libel. In tho Bceuhor aud Tiltou cross suits, the twisted phrases used by thu lawyers are nu?t for the telegraph c<> lutnns. Tillon, in a card, says he would not aoecpt u penny, but comp! nus that tho mauuer iu which tbe cross suits are engineered will not bring ! Beeohor's guilt iu question. Philadelphia, December 26.?710 Meuuomtes, who arrived yesterday in the Yuderlund Irom Antwerp, are quartered at tho new docks of the Red Star line, at Girurd Point, aud wilt leave for the West in a few days. New Yoke. December 26 ?Gov. i MeEuery, in a despatch to tbe Herald. dated tbo '25th, says: The wrong josi ! perpetrated by the Returning B atrd ngaiufct tbe people of Louisiana, and which vitally threatens the safety and integrity of republican institutions in the Uuited States, is u more urowuing infamy than thu action of the Lynch Returning Board; surpasses even the midnight order of Durell, aud would not be submitted to by auy free peo? ple. Resistance to tbe national au? thority, represented here by u large portiou of the army and a naval fleet .sustaining u usurpatiou and stifling the voice ol the people, has uever been meditated. (Signed) JUllN MuENERY. The Returciug Bouid adjourned subject to the ca!l of tbe President The returns show ibrco Democratic I and three Republican members ol Congress, 'the House is ueutly a tie, I in some.

Incendiarism.?Besides the fires for which no origin can be traced, that have recently occurred in and near this city, our State exchanges give ac? counts of scores of others. We also notice that the same insecurity exists in other Stutes, both North and West. The most rigid and lawful measures are being adopted to prevent the re? currence of these, and it is urged that oue of the causes may be found in the ? umher of the people thrown out of employment, some of whom may take this moans of averting Bturvation by incoudiarism and robbery.
