Documents Concerning the Santiago
EraxeGS,


WASHINGTON, December 21.-Rear-Admi-
raj Scott has sent to the Secretary Of the
Navy q large mass OF documents connected
with the capture Of the Virgoius and the
executions which followed it. These include
the list of one hundred and three who were
in the prison at Santiago de Cuba, thirteen
Of whom were shot. OF the surviving
eighty.suyen appear the names Of Manuel
Morases, of Philadelphia Philip Meilzler,
Of Charleston, :. c.; Samuel Gray, Of Har-
risburg. Pa: and Alfred Parker, location
not given. These are all the Americans
among the number given. Those who were
executed. in addition to the thirteen men,
tloucd above, were in jail only few hours.
with the exception of Captain Fry, who was
not taken TO that place. According to the
official report concerning the mode of the
trial by court.martial, Captain Fry declined
to answer all the questions put to him, pro.
testing that by the laws of nations he and his
crew had committed no ofteuce that justified
his or their Imprisonment or trial as pirates,
and tlainling to be In command OF an Ameri-
can merchant vessel, furnished With all pro.
pcrly certified papers, which he had deiv-
cred to the boarding officer Of the capturing
vessel.

edge of navigation the Firginius when
captured could not have been less than

mile north OF Mt Sidney. Mr.. William
Edison, about sixty.eight or nine years of
age, was Oh his way homo about haif.past 6
O'Clock, when he was run over by the stage
going to Harrisonburg. The stage passed
over his body about the middle, aud It il be.
l'eved that he will die. The driver Of the
stage knew nothing about having run over
hio'. aud passed On. A short while after
wards Mr.. Henry Sheets was passing by on
a colt. which SHE'D and threw him OF very
near 10 where Mr.. Edison was lying. Ii was
dark. and Mr.. Sheets. in feeling around to
discover what his horse had frightened ut,
found that it was man, and becoming
frightened, ran back to Nit. Sidney to give
the alarm. 81
Mr.. Edison has been unable as yet to give
any account Of how the accident occurred.
Some suppose that he had been paraly zcd
and had fallen in the road. Mr.. Edison is a
veterinary surgeon, and is well known in
his portion Of the county. DR.. Crawford,
who is waiting upon him, thinks it very
probable that he will not recover.
The weather is very cold this morning.

The vtrginiuS Not Entitled TO Carry
tsse American EOIOrs.

WAsnlNGroS, December 2l.--It has been
known for some days that the Spanish Gov.
ernment bus furnished evidence with regard
to the Nirguius and her claim TO the right
TO bear the flag of the United States, and
that the President has submitted the evil
dence to the AttorneyGen for his opin-
ion thereon. 1t seems now TO be understood
in Official circles that the Attorne y General
has given the opinion that the vessel had
forfeited the right to bear the flag Of the
United States, aud that at the time of her
capture she was carrying it without right
and improperly. In view Of this opinion
our Government will, in accordance
with the terms Of the protocol, III
-titute inquiry and adopt proceedings
against the NirginiuS, and against any Of the
persons who may appear to have been guilty
Of illegal acts in connection Herewith, AS
Spain has proven to the satisfaction Of the
United States, according 10 the Attorney.
Generals opinion, that the Nirginius was
at the time of her capture carrying the
United States flag without right and i'm.
properly, the salute to the flag on 25th day
Of December will be dispensed with as now
not necessarily reputable; but the United
States will expect Il disclaimer of intent Of
indignity to the flag IN the act which was
committed. From the proofs submitted by
Spain it appears that the clearance papers o.
the Eirgnills were obtained by forgery.

Supreme Court Decision.

WASHINGTON, December 22.-The Supreme
Court to-day rendered the following deci-
sion: No. 94-Wilson, assignee In bank
rnptcy Of Vanderhoof Brothers rs. City
Bank of st. Paul certificate Of division from
the Circuit Court Of Minnesota. In this case
Vanderhoofi Brothers, owing the bank,
suffered their entire stock Of goods TO be
seized on execution on judgment by de-
fault obtained against them by the bank,
and thus, us alleged, fraudulently preferred
the bank over their other creditors
against the provisions of the bankrupt
act, and the assignee sought to have the
proceeds of the sale on eXecutinn applied to
the claims Of all the creditors. On these
facts the following questions arose, on which
the court divided, and they we're certified
to this court for answer.
First Whether or not intent on the part
of the firm to suffer their property to be
taken on execution with intent to give q
preference to the bank, or with intent TO de-
feat or delay the operation Of the bankrupt
act, can be enforced from the facts stated.
Second. Whether under the facts the bank
in their proceedings had reasonable cause t.
believe that fraud on the bankrupt act wal
intended by the firm; and third, whether
under the circumstances the bank obtained
by the levy and execution valid lien OIL Tue
goods as against tue assignee in bankruptcy
In their opinion the court say that some
thing more than the passive non-resistance
of an insovent debtor to regular judlcla
proceedings in which Judgment and execu
lion are had, when the debt IS due and he
is without just defence to the action, is ne
cessary to show preierment of creditor
or a purpose to defeat or delay the opera
ton OF the bankrupt act. That the fac
that the debtor, under such circumstances
does not file petition in bankruptcy i:
not such sufficient evidence of such prefer
ence or desire to defeat the operation of The
act. That though the Judgment creditor
in such 4 case may know the insolvent con-
d.tion of the debtor, bis levy and seizure arr
not void under the circumstances nor any
violation of the bankrupt law. That lien
thus obtained by him will net be displaced
by subsequent proceedings in bankruptcy
ayainst debtor though within four month:
Of the fling of the bill. These proposition:
require the questions certified to be an
swered-the first two in the negative unt
the third in tho affirmative.
This decision oyerruleS or largely qualities
what was said by Mr.. Justice Clifford in de
liveripg the opinion Of the court In Buchanan
as. Smith at the last term.

Law.
WAsH1HGToN, December Ex-senator
Hitchcock has addressed the following letter
to Senator Edmunds, chairman OF the Com.
mittee on Judiciary:
United States Senate Udmber,1
Washington, December 20, 1873.
Dear Sir,-Regrettipg the failure of the
Senate to act prior to the holiday recess upon
the bill repeating the bankrupt law, so far al
least as to "wipe out" the present oppres-
| sive features Of involuntary bankruptcy, and
fearing that such failure will aggravate
financial suffering, and add others to the
already long list of victims, desire to obtain
your opinion Of the feasibility of so amend
Ing the bankrupt law as to make the repeal
of the oppressive features retroactive; and
also your opinion as to the probability OF
the early passage of such amendments. Your
reputation as lawyer and position as char.
man of the Senate Judiciary Committee will
give weight TO your opiniep, and such opin-
ion, il aftirmatiyely given upon each Of the
propositions above named, will, I think, 60
far 10 relieve public anxiety and prevent
useless anil oppressive litigation.
Faithfully yours, 2. W. HITCHCOCK.
To Hon. George F, Edmunds, Chairman Sc
nate Committee on judiciary.
Senator Edmunds replied as follows:
United States Senate Chdmber,3
Washington, December %, 1878.
Dear Sir,-I have received your note
of the Goth instant, and say in repIy-1
do not profess to speak for any person but
myself, Of course, but SO speaking have no
hesitation in sayinS-that any provision that
may be made respecting the forcing of
debtors into involuntary bankruptcy and
the proceedings thereupon, will so far
as my voice goes be made retroactive
in such way that no person will
gain anything by any oppressive steps
towards debtors pending the consideration
of the question. AS all such matters relate
10 remedies which Congress may take away
altogether if 1t pleases there will be no inn
propriety in making any wise provision
which regulates the proceedings to just ends
apply to pending cases, and 1 feel great con-
fidence that such will be the opinion of the
Senate. Very truly, yours,
GEORGE f. EDMUNDs.

THE D1ARIo's OPINION OF TIE PRESENT ASPECT
OF TIE YIRGINIUS CAsE-THE DEBT OF TIE
ISLAND, ETC,
HAVANA, December 22.-The Dlario, an
nouncing that the Government at Washing
ton has recognized that the Firginius was
not entitled to carry the American flag, says
"After this acknowledgment not the slight
est doubt ought to remain that the Vlrglnlus
was legal prize, and that her crew were pl'
rates, whom the Spanish Government justly
treated as such, and that the demands OF the
limited Suites were unjust and unfounded.
We now expect the United States will give
the reperation due to Spain, and hope, also,
spain will present other claims against the
United States"
In the Junta to-day statement OF ths
debt of the island was presented. a plan u
arrange the financial question was also pre-
sen,ed. The Mtendeate will submit another
plan. a., ooo M,
The debt of the island is sS7 100000. Th'
notes of the Spanish bank in circulation
amount to Sl04,000,000.
The Government authorizes railroad com
papies to charge the rates of freight ant
passage in gold or its equivalent In paper
This shows that the Government Is ayerse t

a MAssED RAID ON THE JAIL IN CAROLINE
CoUNrY, MD.-As yet, all efforts to recover
the dead body of the supposed murdered
man, Phillips, in Caroline county, Md, have
been uravailing. The Denton Journal saws !:
THE belief is that Dill and Blades. now
In jail on suspicion, are connected in some
way with the murder aud know where the
dead body is. This belief operated to such
an extent upon the minds Of some citizens
on Tuesday night last as to induce number
of them to repair TO the Jail ip disguise and
enter it and take therefrom the man Blades
and compel him to go with them some dis.
lance from the town, where, by the aid of
rope and threats Of Judge Lynch they
hoped to make him divulge the whereabouts
of the dead body. Report says the expert.
ment was failure, as he gave no information
Of Importance. The sheriff was fastened in
his room and the door guarded to prevent
bis getting out. The press and public SEN
timent of the town very properly condemn
the Whole affair.""
