NEW YORK.

NEW YoRK, February 4.-McFarland,
the murderer of Richardson, was visited
in the Tombs, yesterday, by Mr.. Rog-
ers, of Philadelphia, who proffered $500
to the fund for his defense.
The details of the important battle Of
Nina Dejuan Rodiegues, between Jordan
and Pueblo, on New Years day, are re-
ceived. According to the intelligence
gathered from American and Spanish
societies, the victory of the Cubans was
complete and decisive. The main bat
tie was fought at the point above named,
one of the approaches to Guarymaro, the
Cuban seat of government 1t lasted all
day, and ended with the retreat Of Pueblo,
after total of 1900 to 1000 killed,
wounded and prisoners. The Cubans
pursued and harassed the flying columns
Of the enemy until the latter resched
Arroyo Horde, where Pueblo intreuched
himself and stood a siege for fifteen days,
suffering great privstions, and killing
horses and mules for food. The approach
of Spanish columns, under Gen. Gay
enche, induced the Cubsns to raise the
siege, when Pueblo with the remnants of
his army escaped to the small port of
Boga, where the Spanish vessels removed
them to Nuevitas.
A postscript gives the rumor that Puello
has been siezsd by the enrsged Spanish
volunteers 10 Nsuvitas, aud is now cap
tive in their hands.
Mormon missionaries are now engaged
in promulgating their peculiar doctrine
among the people of Freeport, Armstead,
Rockville, River Head and Medford,
Long Island. They say they have made
many converts. ;,
The case of Jeryey ct al rs. Hart ct a.
came up yesterday in the Supreme Court
special term on q motion for an ipjunc
ton and the appointment of receiver.
This case involves some very delicate
questions of law arising out of the late
rebellion. The Consolidated Steamship
Company was organized in 1868 by the
Legislature of South Carolina, for the
avowed purpose Of running the blockade
in aud out of Charleston, and the ques-
ton now is can a partnership agreement
be enforced under such circumstances.
An assistant city clerk of Newark,
N. j., embezzled $4,000 and fed for
California.
It is announced that at an early day
following the official PRONUNCIATION of the
Fifteenth Amendment by the Secretary
of State, the American Anti-Savery So
ciety will hold fitting commemorative
meeting in this city.
Yesterday the delegates to the Trotting
Association Congress, from associations
throughout the United States, met for the
purpose of receiving the report of the
Committee on Rules and Regulations.
The latter not being prepared to report,
a postponement was had until noon to-
day.

sisted in charging Revels with having ap
propriated funds Of the church. A larg'
number Of witnesses testified, and pa
pers, account books, and other doou
ments were offered in evidence. The
case was very ably conducted BY ths
prosecution and defense, and after able
and lesgtty arguments to the jury, wal
submitted to them. The jury retired, and
after being out six minutes, returned
verdict of not guilty, thus sustaining the
charges as made by the author OLA Hum
bug little book, the merits of which, II
seems, consisted in it's being true
"Revels being thus acknowledged as
guilty by his own people. left Leaven'
worth in the fall of 1867, and removed to

of 1868 to Natohez. Mississippi. 1t must
have been somewhere about this time
that we hear of him at Memphis, but how
long he remained there we know not.
While in that city, however, be assisted
in the character of exhorter at the hang
ing of man named Moody, who was ex-
ecuted for numbering Captain Perry.
In this, however, he only anticipated
Henry Ward Beecher, Mrs. Stowe and
other remarkable Radicals who have
O sauctimonious relish for the horrible,
and his instincts in this respect can
hardly be deemed perverted but seem to
flow in the legitimate channel.
"The last we hear of the Rev. Mr..
Revslsis from Mississippi, of which State
he is now elected Ssnator--to which high
Office he appears to have been elevated
under peculiar circumstances. He OBJ
tanned 70 vote on the first bsllot--was
afterward selected as compromise be-
tween Messrs. Mygstt and Flournoy; and
he was principally chosen in order to
catch the African vote, which, in the
State Of Mississippi, has an immense ma
jerity."
1t, then, appears that the negro, aside
from the disgrace of being such, is an
unmitigated scoundrel, which only makes
him q fit associate for Radicals.
The telegraph informs us that yester-
day this colored Representative was on
the floor Of the Senate for the first time
during its session, and was warmly vel
coined by most of the Republican Sena-
ators; and, to cap the climax, Senators
Sumner and Upton left their seats, went
up in the colored gallery, received an in
PRODUCTION to MRS. Revels( col.), sat by her
side, and conversed freely with her.
The Senator from Mississippi had
better keep an eye on Sumner, or he will
be compelled to pray to the gccd Lord
to send him another wife. The gentle
man from Massachusetts is exceedingly
fond of the negro-so much so that be is
doubtless looking forward to the time
when he may marry the widow Of Rsvels
and raise up seed for the party to which
be belongs. The course OF these Sens-
tors will serve as the beginning,
when political and social equality shall
be recognized all over the land. Some
are too stupid to see it. 1t will come,
and that soon.

THE TENNESSEE LEGISLATURE
AND THE FIFTEENTH AMEND.
NEWT

AND THE FIFTEENTH AMEND
MENT.
The people have been made to believe
that our Legislature has rejected the Fif-
teenth Amendment; but such is not the
case. The House of Representatives
passed resolution 20 that effect during
the early part Of the session, and when
transmitted to the Senate it was referred
10 the Committee on Federal Relations,
where it has been quietly r0poSiDg SINCE.
There is an air of mystery about Sena
tors, when they talk on the subject, which
creates in the Imagination score of raw
heads and bloody bones. Mr.. Peyton, the
chairman Of the committee, said that the
House resolution was first referred to the
Committee on Federal Relations The
members Of that committee have had
several informal conversations upon the
subject, aud this morning they had a
meeting of the committee. It has been
and is yet the sense of the committee-a
majority at least-,hat there shall be no
action had on this subject at this time;
and, for reasons which We do not feel at
liberty to disclose, as having transpired
OF the meeting Of the committee, they
think 3 representation Of the subject
would not be detrimental to the State. A
report would be made in ample time to
give Senators an opportunity to record
their votes, The eompittee we're not at
this time prepared TO Esks report.
The whole matter was then referred to
the Committee OF Federal Relations,
vhere it has been for four months past.
The aoBntsin is now in labor, and we
very much fear tsst its progeny will
prove to be Q mouse.
What on earth can be the matter
Will our bold and sagacious Senator,
Cabins, speak out and relieve public
curiosity2 We shall wall end see what
will be the coming result.
