The Eagle.! OFFICIAL PAFBB OF THK COL’MTT. DECATUR, lADIAAA. FRIDAY. DAC. 3, IS«9. TUEXEWK Arrangements have been completed for a new line of British steamers, between New York and the Mediterranean. A petition to Congress to recognize the belligerent rights of the Republic of Cuba, has received 15,000 signatures in Philadelphia in three days. On and after Jan. 1, 1870, the exchange of mails between the United States and France will cease, in consequence of the abrogation of the present postal convention between the two countries. A strong effort will be made to prevent Georgia from being represented in the coming session of Congress. It is claimed that she is not properly reconstructed because of the expulsion of negroes from the Legislature of that State. Dispatches from London, of Nov. 27th, report several Fenian demonstrations in various parts of Ireland. At Tipperary and Cion mel, the proceedings were riotous,, the mob marching in procession, singing Fenian songs, and in aking variousdemonstrations of violence. TheNewYork IForld complain s of a stagnation of trade, of empty stores, and firms going out of business. It says that a considerable portion of the jobbing trade is being transferred to Chicago and other western cities. ' . It is stated that Secretary Boutwell denies having taken any steps or even harboring the idea of re-■ sumption of specie payment at < present. He considers it useless to be troubling about specie payment until the lime comes when such a thing will be feasible. The Vigilance Committee in Fremont county, lowa, a few days since, lynched a noted ruffian named Sam Murdock, charged, with the murder of Henry John-J •on. Since Murdock’s death, Johnson has made his appearance alive and well. Efforts will be I made to bring the lynchers to trial, I Horace Greeley, in a letter yesterday morning to Ben. Butler, I asks him to place himself at the I head of a movement, looking to the instant and complete removal' of all the political disabilities, whatever, from any and every one ] who favors, or shall favor the sis-1 tcenth amendment, and t'l^ir 1 prompt restoration to all the privileges of citizenship. The main features of the annual message are completed. The re-. port of the navy, postoffice, and ; interior reports are entirely finish- ‘ ed, and in the hands of the printer. The war and treasury reports were | ready Tuesday, but the treasury] report will be submitted to Con ] gress in manuscript. The attorney general and secretary of state never make any annual reports. The libel issued against the Spanish gunboats, is based upon the ground that these vessels are to be employed by Spain in carrying on hostilities against Peru —j The claim that they are to be used j against the colony or people of Cuba ' has been deferred. An amended lil»el containing this charge, has been prepared, but it is withheld to await positive in •tructions on this point from Washington. ’ The South Carolina State Legislature convened Tuesday. The Governor's message was read yesterday. He speaks cheerfully of the financial condition of the State, and recommends that the interest on the State debt lie paid in specie; he takes strong ground against Stat* aid to railroads, ami advises the passage of laws to protect Working men- He urges s|>ecial alUntioN to agricultural and man wfaaUiring improvements. Wednoaday night an incendiary, it is supposed, set fire to a building at Connersville, Ind-, used as tha winter quarters of Forepaugb'a menagerie. By order of the su|«riulend«Qt. die animals were let lonw Thia proved needlcas, for the fire WW arrested before destroying the building. The lion billed savers I abrep bn tha fair

I grounds, and he had an encounter with a bull, which he finally killed. All the wild animals were eventually captured and safely recaged. The damage was 84,500. Mt. Burlingame, several weeks ago, authorized a gentleman who had just returned from Europe to make the statement that the con stant reports of dissatisfaction of the Chinese government with his mission originated in China among those opposed to American civilization, and on ether grounds to the policy of that government. His diplomatic conduct has been in entire accord with it, and has therefore received its approval. His mission will be extended beyond two years. In February he will proceed from Berlin to St. Petersburg. He also stated that the completion of his mission would be a complete international triumph of China, and place her among the controlling nations of the world. An Unrepentant Rebel. Wade Hampton has more than cnce. since the close of the civil war, been characterized as a dangerous man by the Radical press of the country. Taking the part he did in the Democratic conven tion which nominated Mr. Seymour, probably intensified the feeling against him. Undoubtedly he is a dangerous foe to radicalism, and has always been a consistent and consciencious opposer of all the baleful isms that have emanated from that organization Born and reared in South Carolina, we cease to wonder that he was among the first to take up , arms during the “late unpleasant ness,” and one of the last to yield, j ( He brought with him into the field ' skill, courage and persistency that ] ! extorted even from his enemiesi admiration for his character—. When he yielded, he declared it to , be in good faith; that he would implicitly obey the rightful author- ! ity of the government, and in all things conduct himself as a true \ ' and faithful citizen. His appear ■ 1 ance at the New York convention was the signal for opening upon l ! him every gun that the radical 1 I press could bring to bear upon ] him. and by vituperation and mis-1 i representation, drive him into sc I i elusion as a venomous and unre-j pentant rebel, dangerous to the ; government and the liberties of , the people. Time eventually rights all great wrongs; it may yet do something ■ for Wade Hampton. He was rcI cently called upon to deliver the I address before the agricultural State fair of Georgia. We quote a single paragraph of that address : “Mv old slaves are cultivating ' ! the land on which they have lived i j for years, and there has been a! ; constant and marked improvement I in their industry in each year since their emancipation, though thev • have not yet attained the same es ! ! ficiency as laborers as they form , , erly possessed. I have promised ' to put up for them a school house ' ans church, and to pay a portion of the salaries of their teachers — Such a system, if generally adopt- j ed, would tend greatly to fix the \ laborers to the soil, and would, by ! adding to their content and enjoy- . ! ment, result in vast ultimate bene , fit to the landlord. That kind 1 - treatment, just dealing, and sin- I cere efforts to improve their con , ! dition are not without effect upon them is proved by the fart, grati- ' fving to myself, that 1 am now on my way to Mississippi by the request of hundreds of negroes, besides my own laborers, to advise I them what course to pursue in the , approaching election there.’’ That paragraph shows the dan gerous character of the man. He is, without doubt, dangerous to the encroachments of radicalism in the South. No wonder narrow minded politicians frown .upon him. He, whatever his past misdeeds, has shown himself so far above them in integrity, moral [ worth, and the attributes of a ; Christian gentleman, that the par | tisan outlawry that tliey would annihilate him with only shows the blacker by the contrast. Carpeti bagger radicals, though backed • , witb bayonets and the statute ’ books of partisan proscriptive legi islation, cannot succeed against each men. f rubbed to earth will rise ngsin.” r It is said that the reason whv • Unelf Sam don’t recognize Cuba, i is because he don’t remember of • ever being introduced to her.

Chicago Live Stock Market. The Chicago Times of Monday, in reviewing the market of the previous week, says: Cattle.—With only a limited supply of cattle, onr market, during the week just closed, has ruled rather firm on all descriptions of .stock. The supply of choice shipping stock continues light, scarcely up to the demand. The extreme range for the best droves on the market this week was 87 25@ 87 37|. They were not first class, but were fat, and the best judges present thought they were well sold. Second class cattle have sold at a wider range, between--86 75 and 87 per 100 lbs. for averages of 1,300 to 1,350. Rough, mixed lots, in decent flesh, averaging 1,200 to 1,250 lbs. have sold at 85 50 to 86 50, the demand for which is not very reliable, and arc generally sold to parties who slaughter here and forward the carcasses to eastern markets — Droves averaging 1,100 to 1,150 lbs. ranged between 84 50 and 85 25, selling mainly in a retail way or in broken lots. Toward ■ the last of the week there was a slightly better demand for this description of stock from local dis tillers, but there is no real steady demand, and prices are likely to fluctuate. There is little or no demand for thin light stock cattle at present, and prices are almost nominal. Owing to a moderate supply of butchers' stock, including cows, heifers, rough, fat oxen and steers, prices have ruled steady. The receipts of Texas cattle continue to grow less, and the extreme range is 82 25@ 84 for common cows and heifers to choice state fed droves. Hogs—The receipts for the week ending Saturday night at 6 o'clock, foot up 102.459. Under these receipt! it is not at all strange that toward the close the market j would rule dull and prices shade 1 off. From Monday to Wednesday 1 the market ruled steady and active, but under the unlooked for heavy receipts of Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the firmness ot the early part of the week gave way. and prices gradually receded until the close on Saturday. The de mand was principally from pack ers, they purchasing about 60,000 head, yet some of the largest houses were running on half-time, and some four or five large establishments have not yet opened. The week closes with a decline of 40(2 50c on hogs of 180(2250 lbs., and about 20c on choice hogs of 280 lbs. and over. We quote extra hogs of the above firm at 89 70@810 25; with a few sales of assorted lots at 810 50 Good hogs of 230@260 average quiet at 39 35@89 60; common, light hogs of 180(2230 lbs. at 89 (29 30. and dull, with about 8,000 remaining over unsold. The pros pcct for the week to come is fair at above prices if the receipts are not again excessive. The Times of Wednesday quotes hogs from 88 50 to 810 50. Average weight of hogs, 168 and 391 respectively. Wheat was dull and inactive. White winter No. 1 was quoted at 81 05; No. 1 spring at 92 cents. Why the Called States Treasurer Falls to Report. The Washington correspond ents mention the fact that for some months there have been inquiries made as to why General Spinner, United States Treasurer, has not published from time to time a monthly report showing the condition of his office, us required by act of August 6. 1846. section eighteen. Being reminded by the inquiries of the requirements of the law. General Spinner ordered a statement for the month of Oc tober to lie prepared. It was done and sent to the Secretary of the Treasury for approval, but was suppressed in the Secretary s of flee, because it did not agree with the. monthly statement of the public debl issued on November 1. It was not pretended tlat the figures were not correct as taken from the i Treasurer's books, but the sole j fault was that they did not back j up Mr. Jioutwell's published fig arcs. This is certainly a very sin I gular proceeding.— State Sentinel. The progress of Minnesota in the production of wheat is among the agricultural marvels of the age. I It is estimated that the surplus wheat of that State the present year will be fully fifteen million bushels, while but a little of the great grain plateau embraced with in its limits has yet been brought under cultivation. One farmer . the past year, harvested one thousand acres, with an average yield of fortv bushels to the acre.

Meeting of the Republican Dissenters of Virginia. Richmond, Va., Nov. 26.—A meeting of the seceders from the republican convention, yesterday, took place this morning at the office of the State Journal, the republican organ. Sixty members were present, about one-half the original convention. James H, Clements, the former candidate tor lieutenant governor, on the republican ticket, was chosen chairman. J. H. Platt, member elect of con gress, recited the causes of the withdrawal, which he said were mainly found in a determination of a party in the convention to choke off, by fair or unfair means, a large number of members present. He thought the majority report adopted by force was a direct censure of the president and congress, and in opposition to the republican party of the country. He believed it the republican party of Virginia could be put in accord with the re publican party of the country, and made so that men of liberal views could join it, it could cany the state. The declarations, in the ad dress to congress about the danger to republicans in the state, were untrue, and congress would dis cover the deception, to the ulti mate injury of the republican party. John Jenkins, chairman of the republican state senate committee, said that the things stated of the people of Virginia in the address were untrue, and the life of a republican was as safe in Virginia as in New York. O. A. Hine, leader of the republican constitutional convention, said this movement was not whol ly the result of yesterday’s proceedings. but of a growing desire among the people that the republican party in Virginia should be put upon a liberal and respectable basis, by which it 'might be enabled to carry the state. The gen eral drift of the speeches was that the times have changed, and that the republican party of Virginia must be put in accord with the republican party of the country. — Proscription and reckless denunciation of the people of the state must be dropped as obsolete ideas, and the party must be made strong and respectable enough to carry the state on its merits, as the partyin other states does. All the speakers disclaimed ad idea of forming another party, and only desired to reorganize the one now existing. A committee of six was appointed to call republican conventions at such time as it may think proper for reorganization. Judge C hase does not want the Rebels to Repent—A Strange Conversation. The Hon. Henry W. Hilliard ar rived in the city yesterday from Washington. While at the capital. Mr. Hilliard was the guest of Chief Justice Chase. The most remarkable thing took place during his visit was a conversation be tween himself, General Garfield, the great Ohio Radical, and Chief Justice Chase. Os course the topic selected for discussion was the condi ion of affairs in this sec tion, and Mr. Hilliard, in enumer ating the grievances of the South ern people, spoke of the swarm of hungry carpet baggers which had overrun the country since the sur render. Replying to this, General Garfield agreed with Mr. Hilliard in his remarks on this pest, and said that he himself* would rather repentant rebels should hold the offices than carpet baggers ” “Repentant rebels!” interrupted the Chief Justice. “Why do you wish repentant rebels. General Garfield? What have the rebels done that they should repent? Were they not equally conscientious in their support of the Southern cause as we of the North were in our advocacy of the cause of the Union ?”— Augusta Chronicle 1 he Caaons of the Colorado. Captain Samuel Adams, who went part of the way through the Canons of the Colorado, leaving off just where the worst difficulties encountered by Professor Powell began, haa sent in a report to the War Department which will make a book of a thousand pages. He comes to the conclusion that the Arizonian country was at one time occupied by an enterprising and highly accomplished people, found the ruins of cities ami towns, which he and his party thoroughly ex plored. He also found tools of excellent and artistic workman ship, all indicating an advanced state of civilization among the people who had made and used them These tools had mostly been used for mining. pur|H)scs, as they were found in the vicinity of mines of gold, silver, iron, lead and coal, all of which were found in the country explored, and all of which gave evidence of having been worked. These mines are estimated tn be of great value, and a source of almost inexhaustible wealth to the country. Arizona may yet be found to more than rival California In its mineral resources and greatness. At what time was Adam married ? Upon hi* wadding Eve

The Lafayette Courier says the Purdue University will be located between the present time and the Ist of January.

Unfaithful wife—irate husband. Money wanted to palliate wounded honor and lacerated feelings, but refused by the villainous author of the mischief. Brief but sad history of a not long married couple. Such is life. A young Californian went to sleep, leaving his candle in the bung-hole of a powder keg. He was picked up in the morning all over the house. A Kansas paper sneering at the stupidity of a cotemporary says . “The best thing he got off this week is a dirty shirt.” Gone to the Bad. Society in France has reached its lowest ebb of morality. When Louis Napoleon took the reins of Government, he was regarded by the old noble families as an upstart and parvenu. The Orlean ists, Segigucnts, and Republicans looked upon him as an imperial shoddy, and kept to themselves. Napoleon's marriage did not pro pitiate them, as he was looked upon as having married beneath the dignity of the Emperor of France, and his rejection by sundry Continental Princesses, before he decided upon proposing to his present wife, did not mend matters. Imperial society in Paris, then, had to look for its success to the foreign element of wealth congregated there. Then, the debaucheries of Napoleon, and Prince Napoleon, the scandal about the Princess Matilde. the Metternichs, and their follies and extravagance, the expensive fashions set by the Emperor, the brazen court paid to Schneider, the indecencies of Ollenbach's operas, and the intrigues constantly going on about the Imperial court have disgusted the better classes, and culminated in the com pletc demoralization of the rulina dynasty and its creatures. Parish has become, under “Napoleon the Little,” as Victor Hugo calls him. a sink of sin and a stew of ini quity. A Newport paper publishes births under the head of new music. Special Election.
