NEW YORK.
The Weather.


New YORK, December l6.-The
weather is exceedingly cold this
morning and the gale still continues,
and damage to shipping is apprehended.
The Hornet.
It has been announced that the Gu
ban steamer Hornet, which cleared
from this port few days ago, received
a cargo of arms and supplies, conveyed
to her by two schooners, at a point out
side this port, and that she then pro-
ceeded on her way to Cuba, bearing an
cxpeditionary force TO the Commanding
Generals, Jordon and Ryan.
Untrue in Every Particular.
The schooner Dutch Princess, which
arrived on Wednesday, states that the
report of the fall Of Maracaibo, Of the
shooting of General Hernandez, and Of
the success of the revolutionists under
Pulgaw and his subsequent assassina-
ton in a cafe, which appeared IN the
various morning journals Yesterday,
was untrue in every particular. The
report referred to appears to have been
furnished by VENEZUELAN partisan, who
was passenger in the Princess, and
who desired the publication OF the story
to prepare the way for obtaining credit
from the merchants here.
Chief Justice Chase.
1t is stated upon reliable authority
that the health of Chief Justice Chase
continues steadily to improve. Beyond
mere bodily weakness he is as we'll now
as he was before the attack in Au-
gust. Complete recovery seems still
likely to be slow, but il is steady
and his friends have great hope Of
seeing him yet on the bench Of the SUI
preme Court before the adjournment Of
the present term.
Suit for Ill Treatment.
William Wright. one Of the passen'
gers of the steamship James Foster, Jr.,
has sued Charles II. Marshall and
other owners of the weasel, for $4,000
damages for i'll treatment during tie
passage Of the vessal from Liverpool to
New York, in December 1869. The
trial begun yesterday in the Court OF
Common Pleas. This suit is the first
of about fifty which are to be prosecuted
against the owners Of the vessel by the
passengers and crew.
Another Failure
Is reported Of a prominent firm in the
liquor trade. The losses made by this
firm arc said to have arisen from the
competition OF others in the trade who
are delrauding the Government of its
revenue.

WASHINGTON, December I5.--OU the
occasion OF his reelection 10 the Presi
dency ofthe Baltimore & OHIO railroad,
at Baltimore Yesterday, John w. Gar
re,t took occasion to remark that the
rapid development, Of the commerce Of
Baltimore must soon demand that
tirst.class ship canal be constructed TO
unite the waters OF the upper Chcsa-
peake with those of Delaware bay. He
referred very particularly to the import
ance 10 Baltimore Of a continuous line
Of railroad through PittsbarEh from
Chicago, and thence connecting with
the trunk line OF the BaIt!-
more and Ohio road, and said that the
city of New York hal derived an inn
mense portion Of iis wealth from the
trade of the Norihwest, anl that the
Northwest. hy availiny of this most
economical route, can add largely to
its prosperity and power. Arrangements
are in progress by which the earl v con-
Strucrion of this great line will b. un-
dertaken. lie spoke OF the immense
success which had attended the opera
tons of the line OF steamers between
Baltimore and Liverpool, and SAID that
;he Oceanic Steamship Company also
desired to make arrangements for an
additional line between these two cities.
and would soon have ready steamers
for this purpose.

ed the Administration in carrying out this
policy, and the late elections in the Nor
thern States show clearly that they are sat
is6ed with it. The Democrats made their
fight mainly against President Grants Ad-
ministration. and his financial measures
and policy, but sustained as that has been
by official facts and figures. to attack it
successfully, was impossible, and the De-
mocracy are again defeated by an intelli-
gent people, as capable of Judging results,
as the leaders of Tammany, and much
more honest in ascribing them to the prop
er source. 1t may o be considered set
tied that the Republicans will have a ma
jority in the House of Representatives of
the next Congress, and having the Senate,
we may expect to see the policy of paying
the bonds in gold instead of g~reenbacks
carried out to the end of Mr.. Grants pres
ent term. The plan of paying the bonds
in g~reenbacks, cannot be sustained by any
reasonable argument Fits. in fact, equiv
alent to no payment at all. To attempt
to discharge a debt with commodity that
leaves the creditor in a worse condition
than he was before he received it, is an
absurdity; yet that is just what the De-
mocracy propose doing in offering to ex-
change an irredeemable paper currency
that bears no interest, for Understanding
bonds now nearly on a par with gold, and
for the redemption of which the national
faith has time and again been pledged.

Switches and ChignonS.

The recent revelation about CUTIE
the dark, fbrous bark resembling hemp
wherewith women endeavor cheaply to
counterfeit the luxuriant heads of hair de-
MED them By nature-have been regarded
no doubt, as merely sensational, or per-
haps the product of some misoynist imagin-
alton, but the doubters have no chance.
The disgusting little borers that Fill the
fbers of the 'Jute' plant, whether used in
massive chignons or long punches are
causing a lively and by no means pleasant
excitement in various quarters, finding
their way to the heads of their wcarers,
they burrow until the scalp becomes raw,
and in many cases effect the whole ner-
vous system and craze the brain. The only
remedy we know of is to abandon the use
of chignons and switches altogether and
treat with ''Barrett's Vegetable Hair
Restorative" thorough application of
which according to directions will soon
supply the DEFICIENCIES of nature and give
you a fine healthy lu5uriant head Of hair.
The Ladies all prefer "Barrett's" because
it is much cleaner and does not gum or
mat the hair.

PAYMENT OF THE NATIONAL
DEBT

There arc now in the hands of bond
holders about $4,000, 100000 in bonds
bearing interest. Of this amount $780,
$4,000, known as ten-forty bonds are, ac-
cording to the contract, expressly payable
in coin. The remainder of this large
amount is payable in dollars, and it was
claimed by Thadeus Stevens, who is said
to nave been the author of the bill passed
by Congress authorizing the issuance of
these bonds, and by others, many of them
good Republicans, that it was the design
and intention of Congress, when these
bonds were issued. that the principle was
to be paid in currency. The Democratic
party in Congress has taken the same view
of the question, while a majority of the
Republicans have, by their votes, express
ed themselves in favor of paying them,
principle and interest, in coin. The adj
ministration has thus far sustained Con-
gress in this view of the matter, and there
can be no doubt that the Administration
and the Republican party stands commit
ted to this policy. In support of this as
%sertion we quote the following from the
first annual Message of President Grant,
issued December 9th, 1859. It says:
"On my assuming the responsible duties
of Chief Magistrate of the United States,
it was with the conviction that three things
were essential to it's peace, prosperity and
fullest development. First among these
is strict integrity in fulfilling all our obi
cations" To secure the first of these Con-
gress has taken two essential steps: first,
in declaring By joint resolution that lie
public debt shall be paid, principal and
Interest, in coin; and second. by providing
the means for paying. This question has
elected much discussion, and is, to-day,
one Of the main issues between the Re-
publican and Democratic parties, and
doubtless upon the settlement of this ques-
tion BY the people. the destiny of the Re-
publican party will turn in the campaign

OCVODcH q, low
Messrs. Editors: l was reclining at
ease, sed non cum dsgnitute, the other day
when the Herald and Tribune" was hand
ed TO me ; and l assure you it was like a
ray of light falling athwart a Swallowed
pathway. And now a few words about
emigrants and emigration. 1t is not to be
presumed that persons who have been rails
ed in good society, would from choice pre-
fer a new country, where the laws of soci-
ETY. ara lax, and where they must constant

dividuals, with whom they can have no
thing iu common Hence | have come to
the conclusion that but very few of those
termed the ''better class emigrate, except
on the account of poverty. The plebians
display a ~commendable zeal in removing,
and I think they deserve more credit than
the other class mentioned, for they are
prompted to seek the West and contend
with nature in its primitive state, by that
fire that forever burns in the bosom of
every true man. viz love of freedom and
independence. Here, they are, compare
lively speaking, as free as the unlashed
winds of heaven. While the person of
refinement thinks there are more avenues
open to Dame Fortune in a new country,
he very rarely makes it his. permanent
abiding place, for in his minds eye he sees
his earthly elysium back in n of the old
States to which he intends to return when
he has accumulated sufficient means to
live upon comfortably. But success in
most cases is 6 bubble which disappears
when about to be grasped.
Since | have seen a crop mature here. l
must admit that the soil. which is thin
and sandy. produces deceivingly. Pota-
toes and almost all kinds of esculent roots
grow finely, and with little cultivation
Wheat, oats, and barley grow well, but
since the cultivation of cotton is so much
more profitable, they are sown only in
small quantities. In many counties, where
they used to raise wheat and no cotton, it
is Just Uicc rcrsd nows Dallas, Tarrant,
Cook and Parker counties are said to pos
sess better advantages han any other To-
~calities in the State. The face of the coun-
try between the Sabine and Trinity rivers
being low and fiat, presents many causes
for local sickness. since the bayous and
rivers are fringed with large tracts of mar
shy land, from which the poisonous vapors
arise and are disseminated over the sur
rounding country. j do not know that
we have more fatal diseases here than in
Tennessee, but we have many more of a
lighter character, which are quite annoy
ing, though seldom terminating in death.

A singular story is told of compound

to bring suit against a man for over SAG, 900
for marrying him. Fifteen years ago
he married the man, who wanted to pay
in potatoes tomorrow. He said he would
give six bushels down, and double the
number of bushels every year until the
minister is paid. As it has been fourteen
years, and nary potatoes come yet. it amounts
to 99,20S bushels, and at fifty cents a
bushel, to $46,604.
