Another of Mr.. Summers Stories Spoiled.

The Spanish Minister at Washington contra.
diets Mr.. SUMNER's southern correspondents
He says that, under the laws now in force in
Cuba, every individual of color, free OF
slave, who may arrive, coming from a
foreign country, shall be Immediately placed
in safe keeping, and with precautions that
"may be suitable, until he is taken abroad
"again. If the house to whom he is con-
"signed give security for the payment of one
" thousand dollars in the case of his leaving
" the vessel, he may live on board; but that
"security shall not be cancelled until the
"re- importation is verified by the report OF
" the captain of the port"
What now, Mr.. SUMNER One by one your
props are failing.

1t seems to be impossible to induce a certain
class of letter. writers, whose headquarters
are in Washington city, to believe thatthe
Mexican question has already had pacific
solution. Notwithstanding Louis NAPoLEoS's
late speech, and the authoritative announce
ment that Mr. SEwARp, since its receipt, has
asspred the French Minister at Washington
that 1t was satisfactory, these scribblers persist
in putting upon that speech interpretations
discreditable to the candor of the French
Emperor, and calculated to reawaken alarm
among our own people. Even in the Cabin ct,
at late meeting, one Of the members de-
ycared that he regarded the speech as bellige-
rent and threatening in tone, rather than
pacific Mr.. SEWARD, however, soon explained
the state Of the negotiations to the entire salts
faction of the President and of all the Cabi-
net except this one. We are to have no war
with France on this question; and we advise
our readers not to credit any warlike reports.

FROM MASCHEsTER.-We are informed by
a friend who attended Chesterfield Court on
Monday that but little business of public in
terest was transacted. No action was taken
in regard to the fence law, about which the
people of the county have been agitated for
some time. 1t is presumed, however, that it
will be settled at the next term Of the court.
The attendance at court was large, notwith-
standing the inclenency of the weather and
the almost impossible condition Of the roads.
Harangues were made by number OF brief
less lawyers cattle and horses disposed Of by
those dreading the passage Of the fence law
a lot of bad whisky drank by those who had
nothing else to do; and any number of oysters
disposed of at an extensive advance on the
Richmond rate /; and this was about the SUBJ
stance of the business transacted at the Febru-
ary term of the County Court
Beverly Gray, the negro who was wounded
in an ARRAY some time since, Is in greatly
improved condition, and will soon be able to
resume his business.
Thomas Blount, constable elect of District
No. l, qualified yesterday before the County
Court, and offered Messrs. Fortune and Perks
as security for the faithful performance Of his
duties.
Some of the town officials, we have under
stood, have taken umbrage Mt some of our re-
marks. We can only say that we only intend
to tell the truth, and that we shall never reflect
on the individual character of any one. The
public servants are the public property, and
we shall give them credit for what is right, and
condemn that which is wrong. One thing we
have said, and we repeat 1t in our opinion,
there will have to be serious increase OF
energy and capital before Manchester viii ever
be such q place as its great natural advantages
would make Ii.
P.S.-In connection with Manchester affairs
we would add the following:
We are requested by James A, Gentry, us
tice of the Peace elect for District No. l, Ches-
tsrGeld county, TO say that, as no commissions
are granted until thirty days after an election,
he viii not be qualified TO perform the duties
OF his ONCE until the next court day (March
l2th).

Chaplain NJ. Turner (cOlOred) has just returned
from on extensive tour through the South. lie rep.
resents the State Of Georgia being far in advance
of any other State South in her legislation and
treatment Of the cOlored people. lie believes
Georgia will be the pioneer in granting suffrage to
the blacks that her laws virtually contemplate
every right but that, and yet there are grievances
which might be remedied. He can't understand
how 1t is that Alabama, on the one side, and South
Carolina, on the other, should be so far behind
Georgia in their provisions for their cOlOred cit
rsns. lie says Mr., A. H. Stephens is very popular
with the eOlored people, that the freedmen are hard
at work. and are trying to procure real estate and
comfortable hOmestsAds. HoPays Gen. Tilson, Of
the Frsedmsn's Bureau, a strong compliment as
worthy patriot and true to the interests Of hu.
mAnity.
Mr.. Turner Is known to be faithful friend Of
his race and Is therefore entitled to public conf.
dsneS in these statements.
