The New York Tribune's Key West
telegram gives an account of the sur
render OF the Virginius prisoners to
Lieut.. Com Braine of the Juniata.
It appears that the authorities to the
Hast moment kept the poor wretches
in ignorance af their prospective re-
.-leasc, and with base inhumanity led
them to suppose that they were to be
executed Priests were with them,
taking their confessions and dying
declarations, and imploriHg them to-
look to God for pardon. They were
taken out of prison in despair, but on
their way to the slaughter pen, as they
supposed, their eyes fell upon the Ju-
.niata, flying the flag Of the United
! States. When they realized the truth
a scene occurred which beggars de-
scription. Their enthusiasm knew no
bounds. They we're speedily trans
forred to the deck Of the Juniata, and
gave vent to the most extravagant but
? touching demonstrations of joy, en-
bracing each other, some crying, some
kissing, and others offering thanks to
the Almighty fer their deliverance
from the horrors Of the dungeon and
the prospect of an ignominiOus death.
On the night before the surrender,
the officers and crew Of the .junlata
were stationed at their quarters,
her guns being turned On the city.
The Spanish volunteers having been
excited to an open riot by the rumor
that the surrender was to take place.
a large number went in body to the
{ Governor place and begged permis
sion to attempt the capture of the
Juniata, saying that they could do 1t
with knives alone. The Governor
refused to grant permission. Our
officers believe that the applications
were made in earnest, and not a few
regret that it was not favorably enter
tanned, as the Juniata alone, not to
speek of the Kansas and Pinta,
would have been mere that match
for their assailents, On the arrival of
the Pinta at Santiago orders came to
the ship from Commodore Braine for
the paymaster to issue all the blankets
and pea, Jackets in his department to
8 the prisoners, who were hardly fit to
be seen in their rags This was speed

restitution, orders came for every
man On board to give their own blan-
kets and spare wearing apparel in the
good cause, promises being made that
all would be replaced on the arrival
of the ship at Key West The officers
and men cheerfully complied with
this order, only preferripg that it
should be issued as request, in which
case they would have obeyed with
just as as much alacrity. Every heart
was touched by the pitiable condition
of the prisoners. The poor fellows
report that they were barbarously
treated The surrender took place at
Moro Castle, six miles below Santi-
ago. A receipt was given for the
prisoners.
It was reported in Santiago that
when It. was found that the Virginius
had been towed out of the harbor of
Havana, a large number of officers of
high grade rendered their designations
to the home government by telegraph.

five repeal it we may expect that
in this, as in almost all other particn-
lars, history will repeat itself, and
that hereafter the time will surely
come when, as in the past, Congress
will be compelled again to enact such
law. Fortunate, indeed, will be this
nation and its citizens if no such ne
cessity shall arise. 1t would be folly
to suppose that it will not arise. When
it does come, if this law shall be re-
pealed, then we will be compelled TO
have a new law, with its unavoidable
defects, with the practice under it I'M
settled, and the attendant confusion
and waste of estates in needless ex-
pense and sacrifice of property What,
sir, is the objection urged to this law?
Is it against the principle of having
law Of the kind? No, sir; but the OBJ
lection is that the law is defective,
that hardships have occurred under
it. That is no argument aga asst
bankrupt law; it is only a reason why
the defects Of the present law should
be remedied by legislation.
Since 1861 we have had the present
law. I agree with the gentleln N from
New York [Mr. Tromain] t! at it is
manifestly defective, but those defects
have been brought to light and made
apparent by the lessons learned in the
school of experience. The courts
have been shedding light upon it, and
we now understand what alb .ses may
be perpetrated under It's pre- sent pro
visions, and may therefore proceed to
remedy them, We know wherein it
is unnecessarily expensive, we know
wherein too much power has been
granted to the courts, we know where
In its operations are teo speedy or
too tardy, and, strive are unfit for
our high trusts if ne cannot furnish
the proper correctiyes. We have
learned in what particulars it fails to
preserve estates for the benefit of cred
itors, and can therefore supply addi-
tiOnal safeguards.
No argument Or iilastr alton drawn
from the uufaveTable operations of
the present law is of fea theirs weight
against the principle of having uni
form system Of bankru ptcy. As /
said before, it IS only IN argument
against the defects of the os listing law.
and iastead of being re son for its
repeal, it should be the 81 longest APP
peal to us to proceed witho 1t delay to
remedy those defects.
Believing that a unif 5rm rule of
action on this subject, ap, i;cable alike
to every part of the o1.ntry, and to
every person, whether r ssiding in one
State or another, is inf aiteiy prefera-
bic and more condus i've to Justice
than to have thirty-seven different
rules of action enact I'd by as many
different Legislatur IS, each of which
would, in all human probability, es-
.sentially differ from the other, thereby
producing embarrassment and confu-
sion, and often giving creditors living
in the vicinity of the debtor advan-
tages over those living re note, / be-
lieye It to be unwise to repeal the
existing law and wise to'periect it.
For these, among 9th IL reasons, /
cannot give my assent to its repeal,
and trust that the Hous Sc will recon-
nit the bill to the com nittee for fur
ther action"

Senator Morton on Specie Payment.
A special from Washington lasi
Thursday night saws:

Thursday night says:
The great speech of this session
was made to day, by Senator Nor
ton. in OPPOSITION to the Son to
Specie Payment theorists, and in
commentator of the course purssl-
ed by the Government during the
panic. Mr.. Morton gave a,histo
ricai review of paIics in England
during the last hundred and fifty
years, clearly showing. that in every
case panics had been relieved by
the suspension of specie payments
or expansion of the currency. He
showed that the resumption of spe-
Gle payments must be reserved for
prosperous times, and should never
be attempted In times like these.
The speech was listened to with
profound attention by the Senate
and the occupants of the galleries.

DIR. TUFTS Pills are composed OF many
ingredients. Prominent among them are
Sarsaparilla and Wild Cherry, SO united as
to act together; the one, through its adnlix-
ture with other substances, purifying and
purging; while the other is strengthening
the system. Thus these Pills are at the
same time n tonic and a cathartic, n desid-
eratum long sought for by medical men,
but never before discovered. In other
words, they do the work OF two medicines,
and do it much better than any two we
know of, for they remove nothing from the
system but impurities, so that while they
purge they also strengthen. and hence they
cause no debility and are followed by no re-
action.
DIR. Tutt's pills have q wonderful in
fluence ON the blood. They not only purify
without weakening it, but they remove all
noxious particles from the chyle before IL is
con verted into fluid, and thus makes impure
blood an utter inpossthility. AS there is no
debiiitation, so there IS no nausea or sick
ness attending the operation of this most
excellent medicine, which never strains or
tortures the digestive organs but causes
them to work in 9 peffcctly m, ulal manner;
hence persons taking them do not become
pale and enlaciated, but ON the contrary,
while all impurities are being removed, the
Wild Cherry purifies and fnvigorates the
body, and robust state of health fsthe re-
suit of their united action. Price, % cents y

Beneath the roadway were stalls for

Falls. So be deliberately climbed up
on the bridge which crosses the
chasm, and before anybody could pre-.

and sped through distance of fully
eighty feet to the boiling food below.
a number of persons saw the fearful
leap and hurried to the spot, expect
ing to see dead body floating on

Watson came up safely but sober. and
hastily Chamber ed upon the large

he sat covering and shivering with

had to Chamber up through the narrow

friends.-Paferson Guardian.
