The Surrender Of the Yirginius.
Text of the Protocol.
Between Secretary Fish and the Span.
ish Minister.

Protocol of the conference held at the De-
partment of State, at Washington, on the
18th of November, 1873, between Hamilton
Fish, Secretary of State, and Rear Ad-
miral Don Jose Palo de Barnabe, Envoy
Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten-
tiary of Spain. go
The undersigned having met for the
purpose of entering into a definite
agreement respecting the case of the
steamer Virginius, which, while under
the flag of the United States, was on
the 3lst of October last captured on
the high Seas by the Spanish man-of-
war Tornado, have reached the follow
ing conclusions
Spain on her part stipulates to re-
store forthwith the vessel referred to
and the survivors of her passengers
and crew and on the 18th day of De-
cember next to salute the flag of the
United States. If, however, before
that date Spain should prove to the
satisfaction of the government of the
United States that the Virginius was
not entitled to carry the flag of the
United States and was carrying it at
the time of her capture without right
and improperly, the salute will be
spontaneously dispensed as in such
case not being necessarily reputable,
but the United States will expect in
such case a declaimer of intent of in
dignity to its flag in the act which was
committed.
Furthermore, if on or before the
18th of December, 1873, it shall be
made to appear to the satisfaction of
the United States that the Virginius
did not rightfully carry the American
flag and was not entitled to American
papers, the United States will institute
inquiry, and adopt legal proceedings
against the vessel, and if it be found
she has violated the law of the United
States, and against any of the persons
who might be guilty of illegal action
in connection therewith-it being un-
derstood that Spain will proceed ac-
cording to the second proposition made
to Gen. Sickles and communicated in
his telegram read to Admiral Palo on
the 9th inst, to investigate the con-
duct of those authorities who have
arraigned Spanish laws and her honor
able obligations, and will arraign them
before competent courts and inhict
punishment on those who may have
offended -=dther reciprocal reclamations
TO be subject to consideration and ar
rangements of the two governments,
and in case of no agreement, TO be the
subject of arbitration of the constitu-
tional of the Senate of the United
States, given thereto. The constitu-
ent CORES Of Spain AMI the United
States Senate.
tits further stipulated that the time,
manner and place for the surrender of
the Nirginius and the survivors who
were on board at the time of capture,
and also, the time, manner and place
for the salute to the flag of the United
States, if there should be occasion of
such salute, shall be subject to ar
rangement between the undersigned
within the next day.

THE indications are that the settle
ment Of Jay Cooks affairs will deveI-
ope about as much bribery and corrup-
ton as the Credit Mobillier. 1t is
said that misfortunes never come
single, and it may be said with equal
truth, that Radical rascalities develop
themselyesin-q quick succession, when
ever and wherever investigation is set
on foot. 1t is disgrace to the coun-
try that no villainy can be sifted with
out duplicating representatives of the
people, in either House of Congress.
1t is to be hoped, however. that the
masses will weary of being the pack
mules of rascals, ere it is too late to
save remnant of their rights, to re-
store their country's honor, and their
own prosperity.

GAINESVILLE. 5: DEC. 8, 1873.

THE Presidents Message did not
reach us until Thursday morning, and
its eight columns not only forbid its
publication, but impose an amount of
investigation and study which we are
not willing to bestow upon it. It is a
sloshing sort Of document, fearfully
flung together, Astounding in topics,
but wanting in practical craftsmanship
and semblance of wish to do anything
for the South. True! it suggests gen.
eral amnesty. after the time has passed
when it would have been of value to
the cause of sectional harmony. And
even this small crumb is embittered
by accompanying it with the dec
laration that more laws are needed for
the security of the enfranchised ne
gro.
As whole, we think the message
will disappoint the more intelligent of
the friends of the Administration and
that the country will have lost moth
ing if its entire space had been left
blank. A fair and full criticism would
be as voluminous as the message and
would be re-enacting the task of win
moving grain from the bushel of
chaff.

TRUE FRIENDSHIP.


VIII bear the inclement blast,
And still retain its freshness
When summer days are past.
Perhaps there is no sentiment con-
tanned in our yernacular that calls
louder for our consideration than the
one on which We are about to write.
Friendship! how sacred the word
yet how often perverted the question,
Who is my Friend? Is it he who in
dulges my every wish, who takes me
by the hand and introduces me to all
the casual strangers he chances to
meet? Is it he who fawns around me
because Providence in its wisdom has
seen fit to bestow more of this worlds
goods upon me that my neighbor? Is
it he who in my presence is lavish of
his expressions of praise in my favor?
Is it he who has in my youth so often
offered to divide his last dollar with me
in some midnight revel or bacchana-
Ian orgies? Is it he who with an eye
to my future worldly prospects has de-
coyed me from my parental roof and
poisoned my ear, corrupted my morals
and sunk me in the vortex of dissipa-
ton, by following the example Of him
whose proffered friendship had but the
one aim-one goal-that of my ruin,
worldly, spiritually and temporarily
No that wolf in sleeps clothing was
not, nor is not your friend. The arch
fiend of hell would have offered no in
ducements more detrimental to your
present and future peace and happi-
ness than those so lavishly bestowed
upon you by him you called by the false
name of friend. Our true friend is he
who, fearless of consequences, points
out to us our faults. and shows us by
precept and example how to avoid
them. Our friend is he who, when
calumny and enmity assail US, comes
boldly forth, and stands firm as the
granite rocks of our native land in de-
tense of our character and our rights
He is our friend who, when poverty $
gauDt arms are stretched to encircle us
in his grasp, stretching out the hand
of charity and with one blow hurls the
monster from our door. Lastly he is
our true. our only friend who reasons
with us on time and eternity, who shows
to us the utter uselessness of all ter
restrial things, who assures us of the
certainty of death and the uncertainty
of life. he who when the hour of our
dissolution draws near, is found by
our dying bed, and with gentle hand
and moistened eye, wipes the dew drops
of death from our fevered brow, battles
the parched lips with the cool waters
from the gushing stream; and silently
and sweetly breathes a prayer to Heav-
en- that the spirit of his departing
friend may lean on the breast of him
who expired on the cross, and slowly
and calmly breathe his life away, rest
ing assured that they shall meet again
where true friendshipw last through
countless ages yet to come.

NOTWITHSTANDING northern indig-
nation at the fate of the crew of the
Virginius, few will question the truth
of the assumption, that but for the
restraining fear of retaliation and the
effect upon the civilized world, Con-
federate prisoners would have been
dealt with in like manner. The ex-
element is not over the assumed in
suit, but over the opportunity to free
more niggers and to acquire more
southern territory and more Radical
voters of the delectable African type.
