THE BLACK WARRIOR AFFAIR-SEcRETA-
RY MARCY THREATENING TO RESIGN, ETC
1t is said that Mr.. Marcy has said that if
there is any attempt to back out from the
demands made upon Spain on the part of
the President he will at once resign.
Rumor has it that Mr.. Marcy is exceed
ingly anxious to withdraw from the bank
rupt concern, and will gladly avail himself
of the first opportunity to leave the State
Department. The demands upon Spain are,
first, an immediate apology for the affair of
the Black Warrior; and, secondly, the in
vestment of diplomatic power in the Cap
tain General to treat directly with the gov
ernment upon all differences in connection
with Cuba. 1t is not probable Spain will
agree with these conditions; and then look
out for a-beautiful backing down on the
part of the present "Young Hickory ad-

DRowNED.-A pair of fine horses, be-
longing to teamster named Ridenour, were
accidentally drowned in the Ohio river, near
the Pomeroy wharf-boat, last Friday We
believe the team had been engaged in haul
ing goods up the bank. How it happened
to get into the river we are not prepared to
say. When we first saw the horses they were
some distance from shore, and about sink
ing the last time. This team, we under
stand, was nearly all the property which
Mr.. R. owned, and he has family to sup
port. About $50 were contributed on the
spot, to aid him in purchasing another team.
This generous act was well-timed, and we
hope the sum will be increased. But, at
the same time, permit us to suggest, that
other teams are liable to similar accidents.
1t is dangerous place, and should be prop
