NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-The Herald's
Havana special says President Cabral has
officially denied any intention on the part
of his government to part with any portion
of the Dominican territory. AS ex-
President Baez is said to be short of funds
to carry out his filibustering plans against
Gabral, partisans of the former report that
he is willing to enter into negotiations with
any power that will lend effective aid to
his cause.
Adyices from st. Thomas state that a
Royal Danish proclamation, couched in the
most affectionate terms, has been addressed
to the inhabitants of the possessions, who
are about to be loosed from their allegiance
to the Crown by transfer of the Island to
the United States. 1t has been arranged
that the Island of St. Thomas will be de-
liyered to the United States on the lst of
January.
A passenger who arrived at Batabano on
the 10th inst, by the schooner Camilla,
from Truxillo, Honduras, reports that se-
we're shocks of an earthquake had been
felt on the 26th November, at Isabel, near
the Gulf of Duiee. He reports that the
Pedilla key, in said gulf had disappeared,
and all the inhabitants were drowned
A letter from Mexico states that the
Ministry were desirous of resigning, but
were retaining their places till such time
as Congress could be fully organized for
business. 1t was expected that President
Juarez would re-nominate the same Cabinet
that accompanied him to Pass del Norte
during the trying days of the republic.
Some anxiety is created by the move de-
priying the amnestied Imperialists of their
seats in Congress after they had been ad-
mitted.

NEW YORK, Dec. I3.-The storm which
set in night before last, abated an an early
hour this morning. The city car routes
we're 50 blocked up "a to render navigation
impossible onSsome routes and Irregular
on others, and the trains on most of the
railroads leading to the city were delayed.
Between five and six o clock last evening
FIRE occurred in Singers Sewing Machine
Factory, 1872 Mott street. The fremen
soon extingnished the fre-loss estimated
at $4,000; fully insured.
In the Canadian wool case yesterday,
wherein eighty-six bales of wool were
seized by the government for alleged uns
dervaluation are involved, a verdict for the
government was returned. sz5
The Times special says it is quite likely
that no action will be taken upon the sus-
pension of Collector Collicott until his trial
upon his indictment is had, which will
come off early in January. In the mean
time, no nomination for his successor, or
that of any other officer suspended in like
manner, will be considered untilthe Senate
oertifes TO the President that his action is
sustained or disapproyed. e
The Tribune's special says the Senate FL
nance Committee yesterday considered the
nomination of Hon. Edmund Cooper as
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, and
the chairman was instructed to report
against his confirmation. Gen. Jeffries re.
ceived the Endorsement of the committee
as Register of the Treasury.

MONTGOMERY, Dec. 13.-The Alabama
Union Loyal League of Montgomery pro-
tests against the adoption of the new con-
stitution proposed by the convention, on
the ground that it is too Radical in its
provisions A call signed by colored men,
for the formation of acolored Conservative
club, declares its objects shall be:
First. The cultivation of a spirit of mus
tual confidence and good feeling between
the two races of the South, without which
there can be neither peace, prosperity, noI
repose to either.
Second. To support in the approaching
election the policy of our own tried neigh
bors and friends, whose capital furnishe.
employment, and whose roofs shelter us, in
preference to that inauguraied by strangers
and their allies.
Third, To discourage by all means in oul
power that war of races which evil coun
sells and ignorance seems to be fastening
and which inaugurated will result in on
certain and speedy destruction.

Mr.. CURuss, an extensive distiller, of
Quincy, Illinois, is among the whisky nota-
bilities now in Washington. He thinks he
can prove the government has failed to
collect FIVE cents gallon on the quantity
Of whisky consumed in his State during the
past six months. The bonded warehouses
he claims, are a great source Of the pre-
vsiling frauds, and the easy manner in
which revenue collectors and brokers, act
ing in collusion, manage to hoodwink the
government in taking whisky out Of bond
ostensibly TO be sent to Europe, when it
really fnds lis way to California and into
rectifying distilleries in Eastern cities, will
be exposed very clearly. IL will be urged
upon Congress to tax all whisky before il
leaves the distilleries, and reduce the tax
to twenty ceRts.

ITRMs on aTATE NEMs.

The Chattanooga Union, Of yesterday,
thus describes the freaks of storm in
that city on "Wednesday night
About A. NJ, the winds gained entrance
into the freight depot of the Nashville and
Chattanooga railroad, a long, low brick
building, with the roof perfectly fat. A
large door in the rear was blown down, and
the angry winds rushing in, and lifted the
roof clear from the walls. Escaping, the
roof fell back, end foremost into the
doomed building, crushing walls, and
everything in its road. Three young gem
tlemen had Just time to fly from their
couches into the open air, as the heavy
beams and timbers fell upon their sleeping
room. Fortunately there was but little
freight in the building, and the destruction
was not by any means as great as at first
anticipated. The angry winds, after
escaping from their confinement, seemed
possessed with a spirit of deviltry. The
first building which met their fury, was
the sixty feet addition to the Burns House,
an unfinished frame structure, just ready
for roofing. Not plank was left in its
position; everything was blown down.
A number of frail tenements in
different portions of the city met the
same fate. Awnings, fences and chimueys
bore their share in the furious attacks. No
lives were lost, nor did any serious acci1
dent occur to any one, that we could learn.
The storm was unprecedented, not even
the ancients among our inhabitants, who
were Graded by the Cherokees, remembered
having experienced such severe and long
continued storm.
The Fayetteville Observer of the 18th
says: "a party of FIVE men, and one woman
named Young, all white, were arrested in
Giles last Saturday, and brought to Clifton,
in this county, for trial. Two mules and
one horse were found in their possession,
that had been stolen. The men were bound
over in heavy sums 10 appear at the Circuit
Court, but the woman made her escape on
last Monday night"
