FROM BOGOTA.
How Cushing's TreaTy Is Re
garded.

Most of the Bogots papers are rabid
about the Caleb Cushing canal treaty,
and do nc. hesitate to say it is simply
dodge to aid the railroad company and
keep q canal from ever being bQtlt. This
idea, 60 doubt, is fcstered by the British
and French. There is 8 loud call upon
Congress not to reccguizs the contract,
and it will probably be thrown out. l
sincerely hope it may, and that 1t Will
bs reiscted at Washington, aud then
there will be some show for the future
welfare Of this isthmus and for its inde-
pendence. OF course 3 canal mus finally
be built, whether the wisescres at Bo-
g1ta wish it or not, and if they do not
give their consent without obtaining an
enormous bonus fer the privilege, the
best thing the Bnited States can do Is
to treat with the istbmus direct and put
Beg 1ta to one side entirely. S)oner or
later this isthmus must cut of from the
central Government, snd the sooner 1t
does so the better, whether the feat is to
be accomplished Independently or under
a proteetorate. BJgota merely uses 1t
now as g milch COW, and wants to suck
cut the last drop of milk without Afford
ing an ounce OF nutriment.

NASHVILLE.

NASHVILLE, March 13.-Last Saturday
an impromptu meeting Of small num-
Der of citizens was held ct the Court
house and adopted resolutions approving
Grants inaugural address, and appointed
q committee to call a county convention
of citiz ,ns, irrespective OF party or color,
to give q further and more authoritative
expression of opinion. The convention
was accordingly held at the Capitol, to-
night, A. B. Shanklsnd, Radical, pre-
siding. Henry s. Foote offered q series
Of resolutions, endorsing the inaugural,
expressing confidence in Grant, and
pledging 8 support Of his administration,
in all Just measures for the public good.
He also made q brief speech in support
Of the resolutions, and after speeches by
s. F. Allen, Judge Casey, A. s. COlger,
Professor Nichols and others, they were
adopted. The convention was not 30
large as had been expected, about 300
persons only attending. There was no
enthusiasm manifested.

FASHION.
Trains. PanIerS, COrsages, CHG
NON, sleeves, Etc.

From the New York Democrat
Trains are not 30 long as they have
been. Indeed, there is quite desire
shown to revise the moderate by short
dress, just escaping the floor for dancing.
PGniers are no longer in vogue, and
our most reliable modistes assert they
will not disfigure any OF the new dresses.
The Empress Eugene, however, at a
late Parisisn ball, wore over pulled
eitron- -colored satin petticoat, tunlc vi
eitron- -colored tulle, looped very high In
the bscs, with pansies Of every color.
Every possible kind of looping is sub
stituted in the place of the panier, and 1t
is asserted that Worth, the Partisan
dresanaaker, never loops two skirts pre-.
ciseiy alike. All the skirts are made
sufficiently long in the back, to be worn
bOufdllte over q full tournure.
CoTsdges, for ball costumes, are not
worn so low as they were last winter.
Our bellies do not try to outstrip each
other this season.
6LeeUes, though, are almost no sleeves
at all-the bouquet or spray on the shonl-
der almost covers them, showing only 8
tile strip Of ruche, or lace, below the
ti)wers.

NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, March l3.-The Heratds s
Havana letter Of the 11th, via Key West
the 18th, states that the insurgent lead
ers propose concentrating their forces
and establishing the seat Of government
at Magorie, or some other town in the
Jurisdiction OF Santiago. Aid Is soon ex-
pected from Yucatan and other places.
Advices from Neuritas to the 9th have
been received. The insurgent represent
stives in assembly of the Central De-
partment have decreed the absolute sbo-
lition of slavery. AL parties, however,
are to be indemnified for their losses In
slaves. The freedmen may become sol
diers or remain in the country and culti-
vste land.
An ironclad, with Armstrong guns on
board for the insurgents, has been sighted
of Green Key, and the Spanish cruisers
were Immediately sent in search OF her.
The Go 1ernor refused to permit Gu
bans or Americans to leave the country.
The troops here committed many out
ages on the plantations in the neighbor-
borhoOd of Neuritas.

CHARLES READE.
He Receivers Six Cents from the
Round Table.

From the Philadelphia Age.l
In the action for liOeI brought by Mr..
Charles Rsade against The Round Table
fol. r.unwa5ranted criticism OF his novel OF
Griffith Gaunt,n the Jury brought in 3
verdict for the plaintiff, Dir. Reade, End
assessed the damages at six cents. Toe
New Ysrk Times, in reporting the fact,
says:
From con versstiops had by our re-
porter with the jury after they were dis
charged, we are able to state that 1t was
the intention Of each and every juror in
the panel, by the verdict which they
rendered, to say to the public that, in
their Judgment, the novel entitled Crit
fith Gaunt, or jealousy is an immoral
work. Several of the jury stated further
more that they believed that they had ip
SONS sense an appreciation Of the rights
and duties of the press Of this country ;
that fair and just criticism, not only Of
books, but Of the conduct of public men,
should be encouraged also that free
press is the principal safeguard Of repub-
lican institutions ia America"
If this be true, the Jury were singulsrly
unfortunate in the mode they adopted Of
giving expression to their opinions.
Taeir verdict conveys to the world pre-
cisely the reverse of all this. It indicates
that the work wss not ;mm0ral-thst the
ROssn1 Table was legally responsible for
saying that il was, and should be pun
ished for so doing. Tbs smount Of dam
age was small, doubtless, because the
criticism was shown rather TO have in
creased than diminished the sale Of the
work

lection was made the special order for

pose tearing down the State Govern

ment, to unseat all who are holding Of

ted for the Fifteenth Amendment, with
the determination to uphold Grant and
Congress. Twenty-Five Republicans
voted for it and against it;

cans absented themselves and did not
vote, but II Of the a abseDtees voted for
