TRAINING RACE HoRsEs-We see thata
correspondent of the Turf Field ana
Farm, takes the position, that most rage
horses let down in the left foreleg and that
the reason is, because the left fore-leg has to
do four times the work of the right foreleg
in making the circles on the track-always to
the left. He argues that race horses ought
to do two thirds of their work the wrong

: WASHINGTON, November 20.
Senator Drake, Of Missouri, is in town, and
hos bin prepared to strike blow at the appe-
late jurisdiction Of the Supreme Court, by remov-
iag from Its consideration every political question:
such as those relating to reconstruction, as Illus
trated. in the Yerger and McArdle cases, even
going so far as to exclude from decision the
pending questions involving the constitutionalty
of the egal-tender cases. This bill will be intro
auced on the first day Of the session.
A case is pending before the Supreme Court OF
PENNSYLVANIA which involves the validity OF title
obtained by purchase at sale under conhsca-
ton by the Confederate States, pursuant to the
eequestration act. Mr.. Lee, resident OF Penn
sylvania, prior to the war, owned flock OF sheep
IN Texas, which were in charge Of an agent. They
were confscated, and one Knox became the pur-
chaser at the sale. After the war Mr. Lee brought
suit in the Circuit Court of Texas to recover
damages Of Knox for wrongful taking Of the
sheep. The verdict was for the paintiff, the
court instructing the jury that Knox obtained no
title by his purchase. An appeal was taken,
Knox insisting that as the Confederate States
were de racto government, having acknowl-
edged belligerent rights title possessed by them
In pursuance OF confiscation was valid. Their
right to exercise the power, as means of war,
was undoubted.

COLUMBIA, Novembe. 20.
The recent homicide in Fairfield County has
thus far failed to attract public attention. mainly
from the fact that no political elements entered
into it. 1t was all liquor. The facts seem to be
these: Davis and Hays both drinking or drunk
were going from Winnsboro' homeward, when
quarrel arose between them, near Kinkaid's
Bridge, eleven miles from the town. This was on
the 27th OF october. The dispute began, as 1t Is
stated, about negro boy whom Hays wanted to
beat and whom Davis wished to defend. The
result was that Davis beat Hays to death with
piece of timber. Both were white men and both
Democrats The case was tried before Judge Rut-
land last week, and resulted in a verdict OF man
slaughter with recommendation to mercy. In
his charge the Judge expressed the opinion that
it was as clear case Of murder as has occurred
in the county for many years. The sentence Is
fifteen years at hard labor in the Penitentiary.
It is understood that strong efforts are being
made to induce his Excellency to exercise execu-
tive clemency in the case. Some hopes are enter
tanned by the friends OF the party, that these ell
forts will be successful in some degree at least;
and these hopes rest mainly upon the fact that
the move for mercy is understood to be conduct
cd by Senator Robertson, who is relative or con-
nection OF Davis. The fact that the quarrel out
of which the homicide arose was about q negro,
and the act done in some sort in his behalf, may
make such clemency pleasant duty to his Excel
lency.
The State officers are on the point Of moving
into their new quarters In the legislative build

books Of the State Library were removed TO the
new rooms, from both the University law room
and the office on Main street.

and consequently colOred persons are seen strut

NEW YORK, November 90
The Havana correspondent of the New York
Times gives an account OF the battles at Comarco,
Fray Juan and Ramon, Palo Prado and Sierra,
between the Spaniards under Yalmaseda and
the Cubans under Jordan. The Spaniards claim
q victory at Palo Pirado and Ramon, Comarco
snd Fray Juan. IN the'battle Of Sierra, the Span
iards were defeated by Jordan. Spanish accounts
report three hundred insurgents killed in these
engagements. The Cuban Generals Maso and
Tamaco were captured and Immediately e4ecut-
Cd The Cu5ans are in force on the Contramasto
River, encamped near the Canto lines, extending
to Yuguas and Fillipinas, very strong position.
The insurgents killed in the engagements in the
Cnco Villas District in October is reported at one
hundred and sixty. To accomplish this result eight
thousand Spaniards were needed. The district Is
still in possession Of the Cubans The Spanish at
tempt to capture the Cuban camp in the Clenaga
de Zapote proved failure. The Cubans had pre-
viously left and joined the forces near by Cien-
.fuegos. The Gloria and Soledad plantations, at
Carthagena, near Cienfuegos, were fired by the in
surgents. OF the Americans and foreigners
landed by the Peret about forty still remain. The
rest were killed or disabled. OF the Grape Shot
expedition only two remain.
The Tribune says, editorially: "a victory by
tie insurgents near Re- edios, serious disturb
ance at Cardenas, and continued and conspicuous
sefectlons among the Spanish troops, are reported

ries of $4,000, they are all paid in commissions

How very painful this exposure
The fixed salaries Of all the Southern Life, in all
its departments, would not aggregate $4,000 (the
president OF the Memphis department only re-
ceivng sSooO,) while some Northern companies
expend, repeat, from $50, 900 to over $780, 900 in
salaries.
Again BY the Massachusetts reports, I am
justified in asserting that the ratio Of the gross
expense Of this department has been less, by one
half, than that Of majority OF Northern compa-
MES in their first years business.
Again: challenge comparison OF losses with
any company on this continent The insurance
statistics show the average loss Of companies or
ganized since 1885, to be one in every 1888; in all
companies organized since 1859 TO be one in
every 15S.
This department of the Southern Life, which is
the one assailed, has lost less than one in every
500.

conplacency with which these journals continue

this total disregard for truth ls absolutely start

Report of the Commissioner, General
o. 0. Howard.

General Howard, the commissioner OF the
Freedmen's Bureau, has issued his annual report
1t is largely occupied with retrospective vie" ol
the operations of the bureau, which expired by
the law OF Congress passed in December last, 30
far as relates to aid to refugees The educatona
work and bounty claims business, however, were
continued by the same law. General Howard
says:
One year ago there were on duty In the bureau
14I commissioned officers, 4l2 civilian agents. and
34S clerks; now there are but 15 Officers, II agents.
and 72 clerks. Then clothing and rations were
issued to the destitute, costing on an average
500, 700 per month; now no such supplies are
issued, except to rhe sick In hospital. Then there
were 2l hospitals, 48 dispensaries, IS surgeons,
and $500 patients; now there ore but nospNais,
no dspensarles, surgeons, anu 54l patients.
Then transportation and stores were furnished at
q cost of s24840 per month; now no transporta.
ton orders are given. So long as the educational
and bounty divisions OF the ONCE continue, IL VIII
not be practicable to reduce the force further.
The only hospitals now kept up are those at Rlch.
mOnd and Washington. The special relief fund
was drawn upon during the year to the extent OF
S252 647 for clothing and food given 10 tne oestl
tute, mostly women and children. Tne great
mass of freed people are now self-supporting, and

reau. The commissioner Is urgent in his recon-
mendation that the free school system be estan-
tabshed in all the Southern States, and says that
until this is done and such system Is in practical
operation the safety Of the country, and especl-
aily OF the South, demands the continuance by
some agency OF the educational work now carried
on 10y the bureau. He thinks that means should also
be provided for extending its operations TO meet

COLUMBIA, November 81.
Quite large number of the members Of our
psrti. .colored Legislature have already arrived,
aad it Is anticipated that by tomorrow o
quorum OF both Houses win be here. 1t is
thought, however that the General Assembly will
hardly get fairly to work before the close Of the
esming week.
Governor Scott is not yet ready to send in his
message, but hopes to be able to do 80 on Wed
nesday. The documen: will touch on great va
riety Of topics, including the State finances, ag-
ricuiture, manufactures, immigration, education,
Aehsheries, the operations Of the land commits
sion, and the relations Of labor and capital. Rs-
pecisl stress will be laid on this last point, the
Governor being evidently victim to the halluci-
nation that it viii be possible for himself and his
government to obtain some sort Of respectability
By prompt identifcat- N with, and noisy advo-
cacy OF, the labor movement.
