NArs

This morning the BRIBERY bill Of Senator Hale
came up in the Assembly in Committee of the Whole,
as was expected would be the The Democrats,
or at least most of them tried their best TO defeat
the measure by voting in favor of all the amend
ments proposed. Mr.. Selkreg had charge of the
measure and took the right ground that the bill
q good one had received mature consideration IN
the Senate and if amendments were tackled on, and
the bill had to go back to the Senate it
would be dead for want of time. Judge Miller
introduced certain amendments which were
adopted. Although Judge Miller denied that
it was his intention to kill this bill hc undeniedly
played into the hands Of those who wanted to kill it,
Mr.. Miller could have amended it IN judiciary Com
mittee but did not. Every man who voted this
morning to strike out the enacting clause favored
Ihe amendments Of the gentleman from Seneca. They
to the effect that it shall not I've lawful for any
member Of the Legislature to vote upon any bill in
the passage of which such member shall have any

STATEMENT OF THE PUBLIC DEBT.
The following is q statement of the Public
Debt OF the United States on the lst day of May:

DEBT BEARING COIN INTEREST.
The Fairfield herald. [volume] (Winnsboro, S.C.) 1849-1876, 1869-12-08
The Suez Janal-The Bombay Gable.

The Suez Canal is now oomplctod.
Those who believed and hoped against
hope are jubilant. Those. who, like
Thomas, wanted proof before they
could believe have been compelled to
admit that they arc fully satisfied.
The canal has been traversed from
end to end with wonderful ease, and
tho Empress Eugonia, with bravery
worthy of woman and worthy of her
high position, has resolved to make
the homeward course not with the
help Of tho English railroad, but by
the canal and in her own ship L'Aigle.
All that the most enthusiastic friends
Of the canal ever dreamed of has been
realized, and it promises to produce
fruit. The canal unites two great
oceans and in a particular sense four
great continents. The circumnaviga-
tion of the globe, 80 long deemed i'm
possible, SO long fruitful source Of
enterprise, so long, too, an accomplish
cd fact, but so long so slow, is now
reduced to weeks in place of yea1s.
Formerly Turkish, Creek, Austrian,
Italian, French, Spanish, Partuguese,
Dutch or British ship had to round the
Capo of Good Hope. We cannot cay
more in favor OF the Suez Canal than
this-that the sea voyage from Gibral-
tar is lessened by six thousand miles.
Some few days ago we showed that
the canal would be glory to France
but benefit to Great Britain. In
tho Herald Of yesterday we gave some
facts which amply justify that asser-
tion. On Saturday, the 9th of this
month, the Great Eastern sailed from
Portsmouth with deep sea cable on
board her companion ships contained
80 much more; altogether there was
Of cable some four thousand statute
miles. The object of the expedition
10 to complete the Malta and Alexan-
dria limo, which already connects
London with Suez and Alden, by oon-
tinuing the limo from Alden to Bonn
bay and Calcutta and the other In
dian centres. When this line is COM
plcted according to the existing plan
it will not be possible, except through
the neglcct of officials, for London
not to know every day what has hap
pcncd-in Calcutta, Bombay and Mad
drna. What London knows the world
will know. But L,ndon, rather than
Paris, ill profit by tho result. The
work, however, is not completed by
this canal and by this cable. We
must have more cables. Particularly
we must have canal across tho 18TH
mus Of Darien. Until this is done
we must not say our work is done.---

heard Cabinet Minister remark
tho other day that Scuba would not
bc desirable acquisition for the Uni.

ter tin the first place, it would de-
stroy our revenue derived from that
island. We now obtain from her
some fifty or sixty millions Of revenue.
That would bo all lost to us by ac-
QUESTION. In the second place, 1
don't think mingling with the Latin
race, a,d particularly the Spaniards,
would be ben, fetal. just look at the
history Of tho South American re-
publics and of Mexico. Has it not
been series Of revolutions, which
prove their inability for sclf-eovern-
ment Z | ask you honestly if that is
not fact now7 l would like to sec
Cuba independent but, after all, I
am not satisfied it would be better for
the Cubans to succeed. They never
could govern themselves and, were
they to become annexed to our Union,
| think it would be no advantage
What, for instance, would we do with
their negroes They are not of the
same kind us ours. They don't speak
our Language, and great portion of
them are pure Africans. Our negroes
have, to some extent, received the
impress of the American character.
They arc advanced in civilization,
compared with those in Cuba. If we
wore suddenly to become possessed of
Cuba | don't know how we should get
along with such an element. We would
find them difficult class to manage
in an enfranchised state and ss to
Keeping them in state of 5ondngo,
OF course that is out Of the question.
Now, if We could get Cuba on sort
of probation, it would be we'll enough;
that is, if we could exercise sort Of
healthy protectorate over it and keep
II 50 for ten or twenty years, until the
African olcment might become ciyiliz-
ed or until Anglo Saxon settlers might
ncutralize the pcrnioious influence of
the Spaniards and Africans. then we
might safely say, Welcome, welcome,
to our free Unionp But, until then,
| think we IRE better be. VIC are"
The Minister likewise sllu lcd to
St. Domingo in tho same way, saying
that we would have to encounter tho
same difficulties by its annexation,
though not, perhaps, to such an alarm
ing degree. He thought, too, that the
possession of St. Domingo would re-
quire to keep up powe, full navy for
its protection in case of foreign war,
and that both Cuba and St. Domingo,
in such an event, would be the first
objects of hostile attacks. eve
should have to send off there large
fleet" said the Minister. (which might
be better, employed in protecting our
own extended sea coast"
Such arc the views Of this member
of the Cabinet, and I have the best
reason to know that they are shared
by at least two other members.

A couple of lads in Portage City,
Wisconsin, climbed a tree outside thc
tent to get o "dead-hcad," view of
Forepaugh's circus. What came Of
it, the Register reports: GAS soon as
tho elephant was through with the
ring, tho manager brought him out
and hitchod him to the Identical tree
from the limbs of which the lads wore
viewing the circus. To the boys up
in the tree this looked u little out Of
order; but they kept as quiet as
death. fearing they would either lose
tho closing views of tho performance
or be the subject of displeasure of the
circus man il he should soc them dead
heading the show. In due time tho
performance closed, the crowd dis
persed, and horror Of horrors the
keepers Of the animals now added to
tho peri!s of tho situation by hitching
two elephants and n oameleopard to
the same tree. Our lads now discov-
cred that thoy were there for the
night, as all hands had left, except
ing themselves and the animals on
guard below. All hopo of escape was
out off. About this time Romeo con.
cluded to investigate matters above
him and with his trunk commenced
trimming out the smaller branches. ~
Our boys commenced climbing also
until they had got above his reach,
and now the giraffe took up the inyes-
tigation, aud, poking his ugly mug
among the limbs, he drove the boys to
the uppermost branches Of the tree,
where they were discovered at day
break by their anxious parents, who
had been searching for them oil night,
teetcring end tossing about like black
birds on the top Of o rice stalk on o
windy day. The boys saw more Of
the animals than all the rest of the
boys in town, and for nothin,' too"
