SLAVERY In CUBA.
A Meeting OF Cuban Slave Owners
Proposition upon which Slavery can
be Abolished.

HAVANA, January ga numerously
attended meeting Of slave-Owners and
Others was held at Havana "Wednesday.
Several speeches were made, in which
very different views of the slavery ques-
ton were expressed, and propositions in
favor of its abolition advocated. The
general idea, however, was to give slaves
their liberty, provided they will make
contracts fer term of years, ranging
from eight to twelve, at from one to five
dollars per month, with conditions sim
liar TO those the Chinese assented To.
The meeting adjourned without action
One speaker advocated the making of
the contract before the British, Ameri-
can or German Consul, while Others.
who were planters, demanded an indem-
nifty of five hundred dollars for each
slave liberated, this sum to be paid ont
Of the treasury of the island; Others
again, fixed the indemnity at one
thousand dollars for each slave
A speaker objected to the indemnity
altogether, because he considered il I'M
just TO tax the poorer classes TO indem-
nlty the wealthy slave-owners. Several
planters heretofore considered uncom-
promising prO-slavery men, gave ex-
preston TO very liberal views, to the
great astonishment Of the audience.
Captain-General Caballas is in favor of
the policy which may be considered
most beneficial to the country. He is
acting in 81 impartial manner, wait
ing for siave-owners to take the initia-
tive: His course is warmly applauded
by the people. The slavery and finan-
cial questions are now prominently be-
fore the public, and their solution at an
early day Inevitable.

THE CoRRUPrEoN INvEsrIeArIo,

We received last night very full re.
ports Of tie Investigations of the Poland

but the bulk Of the evidence being OF
the same character as that previously
given and confirmstory of the gross.
est corruption in Congress, we exclude
II from our columns this morning for
matter of more interest and value to our
readers. We have already had enough
from these investigations, laying bare,
as they have from the first, the one fact
patent to all men that from Colfax down
most o. cur Congressmen have their
price for special legislation. 1t is a sad
showing, bringing confusion to the prin-
cipals, and disgrace TO the Republic. II

/ WASHINGTON, January so. = The
I Louisiana Investigation Committee thi:
morning examined Fredriek Southman
one of the kellogg members retained by
/ the Lynch Board. SOuthman testified
| that the Taxpayers of the State do not
! recognize the Pinchbeck government,
and will not pay the taxes levied by it.
and it cannot be upheld only by United
! States military force. IL the Kellogg
government is sustained, the taxpayers
nine-tenths of whom are Fusionists,
will resist the payment of taxes to the
last extremity. Durell had refused tC
allow the question of the legality of the
Kellogg government to go to the United
States Supreme Court, and witness and
others mean TO take it there, on the
question of taxes. Witness said Du.
rell took the matter under advisement
December 9th, and has kept it ever
since, without decision. Witness had
the authority of lawyers, who were pres
ent in court, for his statement about
Dmell's refusal.
Samuel Armistead, formerly Seere-
tary of State, testified that he was a res
ident of CaddO parish. He supposed
three hundred cOlOred men in that
parish voted for Greeley and McEnery.
If throughout the north and west
of Louisiana the colOred men voted
as in CaddO parish there could not have
been less than twenty thousand colored
Fusion votes.
Mr.. Morton announced that the in
vestigation would be postponed until
Monday, and the committee would ex-
pect to close the case by Tuesday night.

THE Ex.EmPRKss cARLOTTA.

The poor widow who lost her reason
with her husband, has followed the EN-
peror, whose victim that husband was,
to the grave. She died yesterday in the
Belgian palace, wherein she has so long
found an asylum from world where
she shone for a brief season as a Princess
and good woman. Beguiled by
the pictures of glory and Of Empire
which Napoleon framed, sne urged her
Inflated husband Macmillan to the
step which cost him bis life and robbed
her Of her senses. She was not content
with the quiet life and daily duties of
her palace by the Adriatic. She would
be an Empress and reign in the
halls of the Montezumas. She
spUrred her husband on to the
throne of Mexico, aud, backed by
France began what promised well at
first, but ended with a dramatic effect
she nor he had provided for. Her hus-
bandi deserted by the French, was left to
make his claims to empire good as best
ne might. He failed, and falling into
the hands Of the Republicans, was shot
like dog. She never recovered from
the effect of tidings which shocked the
world, and at last, after years of suffer-
ing, death has come to her with relief.
Such is, in brief the history of an am
bilious woman. Let Us hope she is now
happy.

pers, and for his fondness for cats and
dogs. "As to cards. she says, "he
could ies' do what he pleased with 'eff1 !;
could turn a jack anywhere from the
deck, aud could take half dozen from
the pack. if he needed 'em." While as
to dogs, the old lady says: "Why, any
dog would follow Pete. The best dog in
the world was n sure thing for him II he
could only get his hand on it. Jim Davis
had a dog he sOt a great store by, and ne
always said, EFF anybody kin steal that
dog, he's welcome to him. Well, Pete,
| Pinchbeck took a notion to Jim Davis's
hound, and one nice mornin' Jim hadn't
no dog.n AS to papers, our sable iEs-
| formant states that "Pete used to like
to read about races. and the debates
in Congress-they was all the same to
Pete. Ebrything be could get about
them eXcitable things he read; and then
he'd tell what he was goin' to do some
Of these days. Pete alters said he
knowd the time would come when
colored folks would have rights
same as white folks. But / never
believed it. Smart as Pete was in some
things, some people alters said they be-
lieyed he was little touched-he talked
so wild about what he'd do some day;
said he'd be as high in the world as any,
bodyW And that reminded the old lady
what Jim Davis said once, when Pete
was going on about gettin' as high as
any of 'em. Yes says Jim, you'll
get higher than you want to some of
those days, when there's hanging going
onv" The old lady said Pinehbeck
had several names" he was wonderful
fond ofnames-but be went by the name
of Pete for common" The Journal
reporter was unable to learn whence
Pinchbeck came or whittier he went.
He seems to have made, while sojourn-
ing here, an impression that he was
smart. and that if there was an eleva-
ton for his race anywhere he would
come to the top of it. Our informant
says she's not certain, but she thinks
Pinchbeck went from Dayton to Gin
cinnati. She had never heard a word
about him until he came to the surface
in Louisiana; for, she asserts, "rm sure
it's the same feller-it's just his style!'
