Hunt testifed:-He at Colonel Miller's request,
rode out to meet the negroes on the morning of
their attempt on the city; that Owen, their
commander, told him that there were 700 armed
negroes on one road and 800 on another, and
Gen. Grant and Gov. Ames were in Vicksburg;
that Crosby was in command of all the blacks,
and he had his orders in writing, and told him
if he ATTEMPTED 10 60 into the city, they would
all be killed. Owen became frantic, aud,
showing pistol, said he would go or die. DR..
secured Crosby, and then took Owen to see
him, when he Crosby told Owen to lay down
his arms and go home Witness would have
killed Crosby if he had resisted, as be regarded
him the leader, and the safety of women and
children demanded it.

The New Boston City Government.


Boston, Jan. 4.-The Council of Boston fer
1875, was appropriately organized this morn
ing. The ceremonies were delayed by the pre-
sentation Of King Kalakaua to the newly elect
ed members of the Board of Aldermen. May
or Cobb's address places the total funded and
unfunded debt OF Boston at the close OF the
year at $14, 719, 1900, being an increase in the
year of 81. 252, 1881. The net debt of the city
is S29O So. The Mayor felictates the
people upon the excellent financial exhibit OF
the city.
The new city charter is submitted 1t extends
tue term of Mayor to three years; gives the
Mayor power to select all city officials; reduces
the school committee; proposes to have one
third of the twelve aldermen go out OF office
each year, and to have Common Council OF

half shall be elected annually; also the estab-
lishment of a Board of Works.
Municipal Debts.
The municipal governments for 1875, in all
the cities of Massachusetts, were inaugurated

hill, and Gloucester, is $277, 249.56. The debt

originally set forth III the protocol agreed upon
between Secretary Fish and Admiral Polo,
with the following concessions:
First-Yielding to the same considerations
of humanity which animated Spain as regards
England, it comedies to the families OF Ameri-
can citizens seized on board the ViIginlus and
shot at Santiago de Cuba sum per head equal
to that conceded to the British, viz $500 for
each person.
Second-That the Spanish government Of
fered to open an investigation upon the con-
duct of its authorities, to ascertain whether
their proceedings were in accordance with the
internal laws of Spain and with international
treaties.
Thrd-Ip case these concessions were not
accepted by the United States government,
Spain proposed arbitration in accordance with
the protocol of Nov. %, 1873
The letter concludes: THE answer of the
United States to the last proposition OF SPAN
is awaited with much interest"
What is said in Washington.
The Tribune's Washington special says the
result of the conference between President
Grant and Secretary Fish is a more vigorous
policy on the part of our government towards
Spain relative to the settlement of the Virgin
Jus question. The question of sympathy will
not enter into the negotiations. Don Alfonso S
government cannot reject the proctocol without
its abrogation, and to ablOgate compact as
binding on nation as this would be equivalent
to a declaration OF war. 1t is thought the acts
of the late republic, in so far as they relate to
the Virginus indemnity, will be recognized by
the new government, and reparation so TAR as
money can atone for our grievances, Will soon
be made A member of the House Foreign
Affairs Committee has publicly stated that the
time has come for this nation to assume more
aggressive policy.

NEW HAMPSHI RE.



NASHUA, Jan. 4-Hon. A. Mexican, for the
last two Yeas Mayor of Nashua, will be a
prominent candidate for Governor before the
Democratic convention at Concord to morrow.
Nashua and adjoining towns are solid for him,
and he is known to have much strength at
Manchester and other places. A young man
himself, the younger portion of the Democratic
party will support him with much enthusiasm.
A sharp, energetic business man, free from all
'srings," his chances for the nomination are
quite as good as any candidate yet named. He
has not sought the nomination, and this fact
will give him much strength with the masses of
his party.
Democratic State Convention To day
SpeculafiOns as to Candidates.
CONCORD, Jan. 4-The delegates to the
Democratic state convention, which VIII be
held in this city tomorrow, arrived IN large
numbers to-day, and the present indications
are that the convention will be one OF the
largest that has occurred for many years. The
convention meets to nominate candidate for
Governor, and the question of who is to receive
the nomination has, of course, been the all
absorbing topic The matter seems to have
settled down to three candidates, namely, Hon.
H. r. Roberts of Rollinsiord, Hon. Frank A.
Mexican of Nashua, and Hon. Warren +.
Daniel, though some other names are men
toned in connection with the nomination. but
without much support apparently. Much
earnest work has been done this evening in
behalf of the various candidates by their
friends, but such is the strength of each that
probably nothing but ballot tomorrow can
determine who will receive the nomination.
Judge Roberts friends seem sanguine of sue
cess, but any prediction in the matter can only
be founded upon sunrise. Nothing new seems
to have been developed in the matter of con-
gressonal nominations in the several districts
In the first the contest is between Frank
Jones of Portsmouth and >. ). I'll. Fink OF
the same place and Dr. w. FL. Mason of Moul-
tonboro.
In the second district the opinion prevails
that Hon. S. n. Bell of Manchester will re-
ceive the nomination, though there is for
midable opposition presented by the friends of
Hon. Lewis w Clark of Manchester, whose
friends are making every possible effort in his
behalf
HHon. II. O. Kent, H. n. Colony of Keene
and George M. Putnam of Warren are the
prominent candidates for nomination in the
third district, and most spirited canvass is in
progress.
At caucus tonight W. Fl. Mason was Sc
lected fer temporary and A. r. Hatch for per-
manent chairman.

representatives are ameRable to the dreadful ac-
cusation of venality L think rather that the
sharp rascals who traffic in making delude
their employers ana pocket most, if not all of
the money they manage to squeeze out of
them. They adopt all sorts OF devices to ind
out how members intend to vote and keep
CORPS of spies in active service to pick up any
chance bit of information that may help their
trade. They sell the votes Of those whose bias
they can possibly discover, and so not infre-
uuently some of the most upright servants of
the people are unconscously made the subjects
of shameful barter when they would no more
take consideration of any kind, than they
would turn foot-pads.
The spoliation of the Pacific Mail property
under the Stockwel management was almost
as bad as the pillage of the Erie Railway Com
pany by Fisk and Gould. Irwin seems to have
enriched himself beyond all peradvehture and
that is about the only accurate conclusion
which can be reached through this mass of tes-
timony. That concern with nominal cap
ital of twenty million dollars should have been
for long time completely under the domino
ton of one man, that that man should have
welded such unchallenged control as to have
been able to hoodwink his fellow directors by
fictitious entries in the books, and compel the
willing obedience of his subordinates from Sec
rotary down to give orders which none of
them could willingly have complied with-is a
revelation calculated to shake the faith of ev-
erybody in corporate management: There are
several gentlemen of unquestionable probity in
the Pacific Mail Board. Mr.. Alexandra, Mr..
IN. l.; o1,
reputation. 1t would not be possible to make
any we'll Informed man hereabouts believe that
either one of them would under any conceiva-
BILE circumstances abet or knowingly permit
fraud upon the shareholders. But they have
probably had gross deception practiced upon
them. Mr.. Fogg, who has come into the direc-
ton since the explosion, is gentleman of emf
nent integrity and worth. he is native of
Maine an importer of tea, very rich, and with
much of the conservatism which is the con-
comitant of large wealth especially when ac-
cumulated by the industry and good judgment
of its possessor. But he is playing the role of
undertaken just now. He may resuscitate this
apparently lifeless giant, but it is more likely
he will have to give it decent burial and adj
minister upon its effects.
But don't see how the subsidy business can
recover from the blow this inquiry has given it,
There must come an end to the practice of sus-
tanning private enterprise by public bounties.
If every species of special legislation can be
swept away amid this storm of purfcation so
much the better. The more odium that can
be attached to it, the greater hope for the coun-
try; for the worst evil which menaces the Re-
public in the near future is raid upon the
treasury by importunate claimants for appro-
priatioDs to which they have no plausible
claim. YARMOUTH.

were 1896 steampships afoat in 1872, of which
253S were from Great Britain, and averaged 800

baroness showed herself SO extremely French
as to refuse taking the ambassadors arm. Thi
insult was highly resented in Germany.
