DRAKE-A DUCK OF ARAnICAI

Senator Drake, of Missouri who pro,
posed resolution Of censure upon the
President few days ago, is another
slave State Radical Of the approved type.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
merciat thus gives a chapter from the
record of the gentleman:
81 recollect the time when the loyal
negro found very poor friend in the per-
son Of Mr. Drake. During the winter of
1859 was in Jefferson City, Missouri,
as a newspaper correspondent. Mr. Drake
was a member of the Legislature, and wus
as far out on the extreme end Of the pro.slaperg
Democratic line then, as he is On the Radi-
cal Republican line. Then, as now. his
style was artesian, and his orations sempia
ternal. He was a sort of pious and aristo-
cratic border ruffian, and, for some remarks
on his conduct and course of action during
that session, IL was twice inhumanly pros
posed TO deny me the privilege of the floor.
On one occasion he supported and voted
for proposition to sell into slareGy ere7g free
negro, and has or her descendants, who had
come into the State since l847, or who
should thereafter come into it. Those who
are curious upon this subject will find Mr..
brakes vote recorded on it in the journal
OF the House of Representatives of Mis-
souri,, for the session of 1859, which can
be found in any well regulated public IL
brary. Not content with warning free
negroes against entering the State in the
future, this measure enacted that every one
of that unfortunate class already there
should be caught By The Sheriff and pat up at
public auction"

Virginia REORGANIZATION Conven,,ou

/ convention,
| RICHMOND, Dec. 14.-In the Reconstruc
ton Convention to day, the following reso.
lutions were offered and incorporated in
the bill Of rights:
| A clause declaring all test oaths dame
trically opposed to the principles of Re-
publican liberty of establishing a system
of school education for all classes allow
ing naturalized foreigners to hold property
after one years residence, and to be eligi-
bic to hold office after three years residence
in the State; of abolishing capital and
corporeal punishment for crime; of en-
| branching all persons from whom it is in
| the power of the convention to remove
existing disabilities; resolution deelar-
ing all debts contracted since January lst,
1860, in the purchase of slaves, null and
void, which was referred.
The Chairman of the Finance Commit
tee introduced resolution, that whereas
there are only about one hundred thousand
dollars in the treasury, and seven hundred
thousand dollars will be required to pay
interest due January LIST, therefore the Au-
ditor and Treasurer are ordered to suspend
payment of interest until the convention
is satisfied there is money enough in the
treasury to pay the interest of January
1st.
A resolution of inqairy as to how the
State educational fund has been disposed
of was referred.
A resolution and amendment relative to
the intimidation of voters came up, and
the convention appeared determined not to
go into any political discussion, as long
one had already taken place on the same
resolution. The previous question being
moved, it was sustained by 81 to %, and
the resolution was referred. Adjourned.
The weather is excessively cold here.
A man was frozen to death in the suburbs
last night.

ssI ORJECT >,

On Monday last, Mr. Mungen, of Ohio,
asked the consent of the House of Re-
personalities to offer the following resolu>
ton of inquiry
Whereas On the second page Of the
pamphlet entitled Report of the Second
Auditor of the Treasury, December Q
1867 there appears an item of expenditure
of several hundred dollars on account of
supplying arms and munitions of war TO
10 loyal citizens in revolted States there
fore,
BE AZ resolved by the House of Repre-
sentatives of the United States. That the
Secretary of the Treasury be instructed TO
report forthwith TO this House the facts
connected with this expenditure who such
loyal citizens were; the evidence of their
loyalty whether they were white or col
ored ond the name of the State or States
which were in revolt when such expendi-
ture was made"
Mr. Maynard, of Tennessee, promptly
checked its reception with the privileged
" ] object If an expenditure for such
purpose, at any time during the cur
rent year, be not proper and Legitimate
subject of inquiry by the peoples repre-
sentatives, it is difficult to perceive what
would be. There is very natural curl,
osity to learn what States were in re-
volt in the last twelve months, and
what loyal citizens outside of the
regular army, had the right to use gov
eminent arms to suppress it The anxiety
OF the representative of the Knoxville
district to repress an official investiga>
ton, at once turns attention to the pros
ceedings in Tennessee last summer, and
leads to the suspicion that the arming of
the loyal militia" by the War Office
at that time, is a transaction that its
bene6ciaries are aware will not bear
scrutiny. 1t is to be hoped that the mat
ter viii be pressed despite the objections
of the long-haired longer for a seat in the
Senate.

rHE cRYING EYrIerrs cArsE.

The accounts published yesterday of
the straits to which the laboring classes in
the largest city upon the continent are
reduced, gave but glimpse at the condi-
ton of things the country over. The
want of work and the lack of money by
fifty thousand individuals in apOpulation
of one million, upon whom families are
dependent Cor support, is a frightful fact;
bat when the number Of women who are
compelled to labor for living and are
unable to olttain it, il considered, the
picture swells ia its dimensions Nor is
this state of affairs confined to one city
or one region. To 3 greater or less de-
gree, it prevails all through the Eastern,
Middle and Northwestern States. Fac
tories are idle, mines are unworked, ships
rot at the wharyes, fields lie untilled-in-
deed, the hand Of productive industry is
palsied and the feet OF commerce are
fettered The South is not included in
this dismal panorama. There, everything
is wrecked apparently without hope
Not only Is production-the only true
source Of wealth-suspended, but the
means to revive it are wanting There
is neither capital nor labor that can be
relied upon The majority of the South
ern people gre in debt, and the govern
ment act over them is in debt, and is a
remorseless tax-gatherer. The utter
prostration of one section--once the
richest in real wealth, producing enough
to enrich its fellow, and place the world
beside on the debtor side of the national
balance sheet, has brought general fnan-
cial destruction. These are the facts.
The question arises as to the RESPONSE
bility. Whose policy has ruined labor
in the Southern States has withdrawn
capital from all the active pursuits of in
dustry and locked it III the vaults of the
government has incurred enormous
expenditures to perpetuate these evils ?
has made necessary a degree of taxation
to which no people in ancient or modern
times were ever subjected As the wall
of the suffering thousands, North and
South, who suffer in their persons the
effects of this system resounds through
the nation, so does the voice of condemna-
ton against Radicalism swell in volume
and deepen in intensity. It is the pesti-
lent source of all the woes that afflict the
country, and not until it is utterly ex-
will this people regain indi-
vidIal prosperity, or be in safe way to
maintain the national credit financially.

The late arrangement between the Re

railroad and Gen. Boyle of the Hender-
son and Nashville road and the addi~
tional State aid granted to the former,
has placed the certain and speedy COM
pletion of our connection with the Ohio

with this movement, another project has
been put on foot to build a road from
ShawneetOwn, Illinois, Ia EdgewOOd on

unite with the Henderson and Nashville
road on this side Of the Ohio, and form
nearly a straight line from Nashville to
Chicago, and shorten the distance be-

From Havana

NEW YORK, Dec. l4.-A special from
Cuba by cable to the Telegram, dated Has
vana 18th, says. information from Spain
has been received, with the important in
telligence that the Spanish government
has made = formal offer to the American
Minister at Madrid to sell Cuba and Porto
Rico to the American government, for one
hundred and fifty million dollars in. gold.
The terms of sale are $4,000, 900 in gold
to be paid in cash on the signing of the
treaty and formal delivery of the islands
to the authorities Of the United States a
second S50,000,O00 in one year thereafter,
and the third instalment Of $50. DOC. 900 ia
gold TO be paid at the end of six wears.
Great excitement prevails over the news.
the extinction of slavery being one of the
consequences of the sale. The national
pride is disposed to grumble little over
the transfer, but the general feeling, ex-
cept among the oldest families, is one of
satisfaction. Ii is of course known that
the owners of slave property WILDE fully
compensated out of the purchase money.
An American company have already pur-
chased an island near Newvitas, for the
purpose Of colonizing, of 10000 acres.
With the sale Of Cnba and the adjustment
of human servitude on the island, the
| slaye-traders' last hopes are gone. Ii is
| regarded here as certain that bargain
will be completed forthwith.
Intelligence from Hayti brings tidings
from that place that Gen. Moultz, confined
in Hayti prison, was brutallv murdered
by Salnays's jailor, and doubtless by the
command of Salnave. The rafian first
administered poison to the General in his
food, but finding its operation slow, and
fearful that it might not effect ita purpose,
he attacked him with an iron bar, used as
an some part of the prison as fastening, and
beat ont his brains. The act was more
brutal from the fact that the brother of the
prisoner was confined in same prison, and
being chained was compelled to witness
the bloody tragedy, without power to in
terfere. The deed has excited the utmost
horror and alarm among the people and
many families have emigrated to Jamaica
in consequence.

They sued out a writ of hobeds corpus,
but the officer in charge of the prisoners
refused to obey it for some alleged infor~

city with the prisoners, when the facts
were brought to the attention of General
Hancock. The General having none of
his aids near, Immediately ordered cab
and proceeded in person to the Office of
the Chief of Police, and demanded to
know why the writs Of one of the civil
courts was not obeyed The Chief re-
piled that he was advised that the writ
was not properly served and was not in
the legal form. Gen. Hancock then mott.
fed the Chief that he differed from him.
and held it to be his duty to yield prompt
obedience to the order of the court, a
duty which he expected him faithfully to
observe. The writ was obeyed, and the
court adjudged that the prisoners be
taken to New York.
