W NAsH1NGToS, January lO.
CABINET SEssloS-GENeRAL QulrMAN. While
write, the Cabinet is in Session, and it is said, (not
rumor merely, that the subject of its deliberations
is less parsonage than his Excelency, Governor
General Qutnan. The story goes, that the District
Judge Of Louisiana, before whom the suit against the
General is brought, has made application to the Pres
ident for advice, and the opinion is advanced-I do
not avow it-that the Cabinet will decide to grant
the Court the Corporas guard asked for, in the event
it he needed to induce the Generals attendance in
New Orleans.
The Spanish Minister, De La Barca, has been urg-
ing matters the past week quite strenuousy; and it
is as much at his instance as the Federal authorities
of Louisiana, that the requsition is made. De La
Barca is determined to push the suit to extremes.
He therefore appeals to the President, and demands
compliance with the treaty obligation of l848; and
the Court backs him, because, it contends Quitman,
has been guilty of high treason, in furnishing arms
to the enemies of the Republic, &C., &C., &c. do
not ask you to impose implicit faith in these state
ments for do but it is manifest that De La Barca
is cross about the affair.

scnted the civil party.
Vas Comedies, resident of San Salvador,
has been impeached, for having made war
on Guatemala without the sanction of Con-

belongs to the moderate or conservatory
party, has taken the reins of Government,
and concluded arrangements for the settle
ment of the questions pending with Guate-
mala and the British Charge, Mr.. Chatfeld.
In consequence of this, Carterra had evac-

Luck of the Erie kSai5CGIG,

The New York Ereaing Post of the
goth instant says that the income of the
Erie Railroad on that day would probably
exceed that of any road for the same peri
cd Of time that was ever constructed
1t would be over 100000, in addition
to all the earnings by the transport of pas
sengers.
In explanation Of this unusual prosperi-
ty, the Post states that In 1882, when the
charter was granted, the State of New
York loaned the road S3,OO0,O0O. On the
14th ofMay, 1915, the Legislature passed
an act, one section of which extended the
time for completing single tract, Of tie
said road six years, and provided that if,
within that time, the said railroad compa-
ny caused to be constructed a single track
of said road from the Hudson river to Lake
Erie, in the county of Chautauquc, adopt
ing certain route, (Which has since been
followed and the president of the said
company filed with the comptroller his ai-
fidavit that the said tract was constructed,
and that cars and engines had passed over
the same; then, from the time offiling such
affidavit, tile said company aeere to here
leased from all Habilitiesto pay to tie State
any demand ,rhich tie State might hare
ogainaMc by reason or on account of
the original loan of the credit of the State
to said company.
The affidavit required by this act (the
Post says) was forw arded on Friday night
to Albany, to be fled with the comptroller
on Saturday, and, by that act the compa-
ny were released from 100000 Of their
liabilities.

scmbled at Pickens Court house on Tues
day, the LIST instant, G en- +. n. Garvin, the
President, in the chair.
COLI. L. Orr, our Representative in
Congress being present, was called upon
to address the meeting. He spoke with
his usual ability, and after glancing rapidly
at the inequalities of the benefits and bur-
dens of the Federal Government and its
expressions of the South, went on to de-
clare that the Union was a curse, and It's
dissolution inevitable, and that Southern
Coniederacy must succeed it, and was
what he most desired. He then went on
TO define his IMPOSITION in relation to the
action of South Carolina. He acas opposed
to separate State action, and preferred to
rat until some Of tie other States got rea-
dy 10 more of nth as. In support ofthese
views he asst gned many reasons, among
the most prominent of which was, that by
acting now we would drive off our friends
ofthe Southern States, and compel them
to take part against US. He spoke Of
these men being as true to the cause, and
as devoted to the principles involved, as
the most patriotic of our people. We
deeply regretted hearing such sentiments
coming from Col. ORR, and are truly sorry
that he deemed Il necessary to promulgafc
them IN a speech at htis time. To whatex
tent 1t may create discord and division in
the ranks of the Southern rights men in this
district time alone will disclosc.-Pmdle-

The MEETING IN RICHMOND ON FRIDAY
NIGnT,-ln consequence Of the result Of
the voting on the various propositions Of
the basis question, public meeting was
called in Richmond, to be held on Friday
night last, in relation to which the Wing
remarks.
"We deem it unnecessary TO urge upon every vo-
ter in Richmond the propricty of attending the
meeting tonight at the African Church. Whatcv-
er decision 1t may arrive at, il may. and probably
Will, have most important bearing upon the fu.
tre action of the Convention II is therefore most
essential that there should be full attendance Of
our citizens, in order that reliable expression of
the public sentiment may be obtained. We trust
That those whose habitual aversion to crowded as-
scblages would ordinarily incline them to keep AT
home will, on the present OCCASION submit to some
personal Inconvenience. in view of the magnitude
OF the issue which Is to be presented for their
sidcration."

ain politics Mr.. Sumner is doctrinaire.
He is well known to be opposed to all

champion of Estates rights. He has never
held any close connexion with either of the
greatpolitical parties ofthe country, though,
I'LL within the last few years, he has been
classed with the Wings. Wehave classed
him with the Democrats, because, that, on
all the issues which have been made be-

sItion, and we have no doubt that all his
sympathies and convictions will lead him
to maintain that position"
