ment near Mogarf.
HAVANA, March 8.-The election for
deputies to the National Cortes for Porto
Rico has resulted in complete tri-
umph for the Radicals. This defeat OF
the Government party so enraged the
Spanish volunteers on the island that
they created disturbance, which, ac-
cording to some reports, resulted in
bloodshed, and they even demanded that
the elections be nullified. The Captain
General, Baldrich, refused the request,
and showed his displeasure by ordering
the volunteers to store their arms in the
barracks instead of keeping them in
their own houses.
In the late engagement near Mogarl
it is reported that the rebels surrounded
and cut off two companies of the battalion
reis. This accounts for the great Span
ish loss, which, Notwithstanding denials
in the papers here, was very severe, The
captain, two lieutenants and three en-

Sumner is to be removed from the posi-
ton at the head of the Committee on
Foreign Relations, and placed at the
head Of a new committee called Equities
and Elections. His place is to be filed
by Cameron or Morton, probably the
latter. 1t is expected that the action in
regard to Sumner will produce lively
time in the Senate tomorrow, but it is
believed the report of the committee will
be adopted The change will be adyo-
Gated on the ground of imperative public
necessity, and the fact that Sumner s
attitude toward the President and Sec
rotary of State has become such that
intercourse has totally suspended. This
will also be urged as the reason why he
should not remain in position where
he can embarrass negotiations which
now promise a speedy settlement of the
most important foreign questions pend
ing for many years.
1t is settled that the President will
send no message to Congress concern
ing matters in the South, as was ex-
peeted. He is in favor Of some action,
however, but will leave Congress to de-
termine its character. Fifty-one wit
nesses have already been examined by
the special Committee of Investigation,
and the testimony taken is very volumin-
Gus. The report Of the committee will
be submitted to the Senate on Friday
probably.

Upon this the Pittsburg Post com
ments: But this letter from Captain
Stoms TO the President Of the United
States is by far too serious a matter to
be made light Of 1t demonstrates that
there is something radically wrong in
the management Of the affairs of gov
eminent, since so prominent a member
of the Presidents household, and one
holding an important Office, is so ready
to barter public Offices, that he would
sell them for FIVE hundred dollars each
and divide the money. It is fact well
known in those localities that in South
ern Ohio and Northern Kentucky, Jesse
r. Grant influences almost entirely all
appointments to office. II he was thus
ready to sell Offices in one instance, it il
not the least bit improbable that he has
done the act in other instances.

AFFAIR AT MERIDIAN.

Our readers have been informed OF
the depIorable affair at Meridian, Miss.
1t is, at this time, peculiarly unfortunate.
Exactly such an occurrence was needed
at Washington, and it came, perhaps to
a minute. We do not mean to say that
the murder Of Bramlette and the burn
ing Of the town was arranged at the
Federal Capitol. Not at all. But we
mean TO suggest to the reader that the
solution Of the affair may be found in
this paragraph from the jackson Cla-
rion: " The seeds sown by the Radical
fomenters of mischief in Meridian have
brought forth their bloody fruits, in the
fires which have consumed the most
valuable portion of the city, and the
blood which has REDEEMED its streets
Human nature reeoils at the announce
ment that Judge Bramlette was muir
dered in the very sanctuary Of justice
while performing his duties as magis
trate, by 6end whose life quickly paid
the forfeit of his crime, and who was
doubtless obeying the instructions which
he had received from baser but more
cowardly villains"

A COMMITTEE ON Southern outrages is

Congress first assumes that there are
Southern outrages. 1t prejudges the
question, and the committee is not ex-

whether or not they exist but to report
them in form for the action of Congress
that has already determined to make
them the pretext for expressing the
South.

The jackson Clarion says: To avoid
misapprehension it ought % be borne in

the negro who precipitated the terri
bic riot at Meridian, was an appointee
of Governor Alcorn, and the murderer
himself a Loyal Lacquer.
