no arrests had been made, and the country

The government is continuing its pre-

asserted that the Cabinet had good reason,
by reliable information, to fear trouble at
Woolwich, if not an attack on the navy

New YORK, March 7.-London cores
pondence states that Earl Carnayon in
moving the second reading Of the bill for
the confederation Of the British North
American colonies, made one of the most
important speeches to the House Of Lords
which has been delivered in Parliament
for many years, in his capacity of Colonial
Secretary. He went minutely into the de-
tails of the measure, and combatted the OBJ
ieetions raised against it. There is no
state rights reservation, the bill being one
of compromise confederation, emanatiDg
from, and perfected at the royal centre.
Speaking Of the futrue of the Kingdom OF
Canada, CarnavOn said the territory would
become greater than England, and second
only to Russia.

ment to the Constitution, under which MIR. Ste
vens claims the rower of Congress to regulate
the elective franchise, SO far Us 1t regards the
whole nation, in every State of the Union" Mr.
johnson shows that the alleged amendment con-
fers no such power.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald says that the counsel Of Hon. jeff
Davis will object to his being tried by Judge Un-
derwood or negro jury. One reason why they
object to Underwood is that the Rev. Padl Bagley
who visited Mr.. Davis in Montreal last Summer
saw Judge Underwood on his return to Virginia,
and he (Underwood) said to him: "Wen, hope
you will have nothing more to do with him
Davis will have him convicted, connscate MS
lands, sell them to the negroes at hfty cents an
acre, and you can go down therea and get good
plaoe to preach to them" Another cause OF chal-
enge stated BY this counsel is the TACT that when
Judge Underwood was before the Judiciary Com
mittee he was asked whether jeff Davis could be
convicted in Richmond, and ne is said to have re-
piled that he could pack jury which would con-
wet him, but he could not be convicted otherwise.
This was before the Inauguration OF negro Jurles.
His counsel will object to negro jury, first, be-
cause having such jury will be illegal; and, Sec
ond because it Is not possible that any negro jury
can be, in point of fairness capacity, competent
to try him. II the Court overrue the objections Of
the counsel and determine to try him by negro
iury. his counsel will withdraw and leave the pris-
oner iupo deuorandum.

Hurricanes.


Though the winds may blow and crack their
cheeks OIL the Eastern coast of North America,
this peculiarly favored land is free from those
fearful hurricanes which work such havoc IN
the East and West Indies, and some parts Of
China. They are read of, and talked about, as
things in which the happy American has but
little interest; and it is only when such loss OF
life occurs as that lately reported at Tortola
! and St. Thomas, that their magnitude and
force is felt and understood.
These hurricanes make their assaults princl-
pally in September and October, and, by one
of them, in an hour is destroyed the labours OF
year Whole fields of sugar-cane are whirled
in the air, and scattered over the face of the
country. The strongest trees of the forest are
torn up by the roots, and driven about like
stubble. Windmills, with their ponderous ma
chinery, are swept away in moment. Houses
are no protection; for the roofs are torn off at
one blast, while the rains rush Ia with an ire
sstible violence There are signs by which
their approach may be foretold; but even the
red and turbulent sky, the rumbling in the
bowels of the earth, the burs around the stars,
the strong odour of the sea, and the shifting
winds, only give warning Of the dcnger, with
out showing how its terrors may be avoided
The late hurricane was one Of the most de-
structive that ever swept over the West Indies.
Tortola may not have been submerged, but
there and at st. Thomass there was fearful
loss both of property and life. Its course was
from East to West, for after leaving st. Thomas
it hurried on to Porto Rico, where it made sad
work, and then, travelling along the coast Of
Hayti, fell upon Santo Domingo, leaving a
large portion of that city in ruins. Its fury
mus. have been spent in the country between
Santo Domingo and Port-au-Prince, otherwise
the latter city would have suffered as severely
as the former.
Again and again have the West Indies been
ravaged by hurricanes. In 1888 at Havana,
four thousand houses were destroyed, and one
thousand inhabitants perished. In 1919 no
less than one hundred and four vessels were
lost In 1915 the whole island of Jamaica was
deluged, hundreds of houses were washed
away, and thousands of persons were drowned
Barbados, in 1880, lost four thousand of its
inhabitants by a hurricane; and in 1881, by
the same cause, thousands of persons perished,
and an immense amount of property wac de-
stroyed.
As TO the nature OF hurricanes, it has / cen
demonstrated that they are progressive whirl-
winds; but although prevailing with the great
est fury in the torrid zone, tley never touch or
cross the EQUATOR. They occur occasionally in
the temperate zone, but not, as far as known
in the polar regions.
The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1867-11-25

The whole body of the Northern press and
people, not to speak Of the South, are now
clamoring for the immediate repeal of the cot
ton tax Not single voice, we believe, has
yet been raised against the measure, ana 1t
seems to be conceded on all sides, that Congress
will speedily respond to the popular demand
We notice, however, that some Of the leading
New York journals suggest that, in the act OF
repeal, clause should provide that no cotton
should be exempted except that which is In
the hands of the producers. 1t is urged that
there will be no injustice in this, for those who
have bought have made their purchases with
the knowledge of the law. This proposed
proviso will doubtless have tendency to check
shipments from the interior until Congress
shall have taken definite action in the matter.
