GENTLEMEN: The honor which you have
done me by proposing 10 welcome my return
to my native State by complimentary dinner.
has been most gratifying to my feelings and
had my return taken place under more happy
auspices, it would have afforded me great pleas
ure to accept your invitation but in view of
the condition of our unfortunate country, and
for reasons which ! am sure you will under
stand without particular specification off them,
[ am constrained to decline the proposed enter
tainment In doing SO, [ desire to express to
you my most heartfelt thanks for the cordial
greeting you have given me, individually and
collectively, land to assure you that neitherin wan
derings abroad nor on my return have seen
any cause to abate in attachment to the land of
my birth, or to waver in devotion to the prin-
ciples which actuaed us in our late struggle
for all that was dear.
It is the hour of defeat and adversely that
really tries the hearts and souls of men, and
those who shall have passed through all Its
temptations without an Abandonment Of honor
or principle, will be entitled In the end to be
regarded as the true heroes of our cause.
Very truly and respectfully yours.

It(NorfoM Fu.ginsan) rightly states that the
supreme question in this canvass IS not what
man or set of men shall beseiected but wheth-

servative party-and it Is for this that we ad-
here to the organization and resolves and the
chosen standard-beare of the conservative par
ty, as the only party pledged to the defeat Of
the Underwood constitution as whole Pc

the profession, as no reliance could be placed on
the ordinary liquors OF commerce.. all of which

GOOD BnL.-The bill to prevent the

both houses of Congress and now awaits the
signature of the President to become law
is a good one. It will help to check the

controlling the money market A little
more legislation for similar purpose would
be very acceptable, and would tend to

We met some Spaniards, yesterday, who
were recently from the Island of Cuba.
They Informed us, with mournful manifes-
tations and in tones of deep pathos, that
the Spaniards were done for in Cuba; that
all prudent persons of that race were putting
their affairs in ship shape to leave at mo-
ment's warning. Recent events have greatly
embittered the Creole population against
them. The violence of the volunteers, com
posed almost exclusively of Spanish born
residents, had rendered this hostility mortal
and insatiate.-NeD Orleans Times, 16M.
