MORNING SUN, Jenua'y Christ
mas has come and gone, and until yes
terdsy evening We were congratllating
ourselves upon toe perfect quiet that
had prevailed throughout the neighbOr-
hood during the holidays, which hereto
fore, since the war, has b:e1 spent in
drinking and earousing, by black and
white, almost without exception. S1me
weeks since a suspicious character
passed our town, followed by two ne
grOes, who claimed thst he had St len q
saddle from them, and asked to be as
sisted In arrestiDg him, which was
promptly done by three white men pres
ent-a short pursuit. ami the thief
was overtaken, wbea IL wss
ascertainsd that he had also
stolen horse. While returning, the
thief made his escape, each csptoT claim
ing the horse. 1t was agreed, however,
that Roland johnson should take him,
who loaned it to William Johnson for
one week; but when it was called for he
refused to give it up, when Mr. r John
son rePlevlned the horse, and gave Mr..
f. G. Seward as bondsman. Yesterday
wal the day appointed for trial, at Bart
lett. On their return, the crowd being
impressed with whisky, a misunder-
standing arose, accompanied by oaths
and threats, with the following sal re-
suit: Mr.. Roland johnson, an old and
highly respectable citizen, was shot, the
ball entering the right temple and pass
ing out at the left, causing his death in
about two hours; the fatal act being
done by his cousin, William Johnson,
who was in turn shot in the face with
3 bouble-bsTreled shotgun by Mr.. E. G.
Seward. William Johnson then shot
Seward In the thigh, inficling simply q
flesh wound. William johnson made
his escape, not having been heard from
since yesterday. Some suppose him to
be dead. Thus ended our Christmas h0I-
idays, and the last day of the old year
proved 10 be the last day Of one of our
oldest and best citiz ans. l write this

LONDON, January 3-The Manchester
Guardians London correspondent
writes as follows on the subject Of Spain,
Cuba aud the United States: 81 have
been furnished with what puCpoTts to Dc
the substance of Americas CuDan note.
| believe it is correct, though l do not
pretend to give the exact language. 1t
recites that the general Interests OF hu-
mainly and commerce demand the ces-
sation OF the struggle which has been
waged IN Cuba for Ssvsn years. The
United States sre CREST sufferers, but are
unwilling 20 act without the concur
renee Of other powers, including Spain.
The continuation Of the attempt to gov
erD Cuba from Madrid will be fatal to
the hopes Of a restoration of peace.
Nevertheless, Cuba belongs to Spain,
and a great share OF her popu-
latiun is opposed to a separation.
In these circumstances the solution OF
the question might be found in estab-
fishing a confederation in the West H.
dies resembling the Cansdas. Cuba and
Porto Rico might be constituted
O confederation with lCcai rights,
and q governor. general appointed by
Spain. rhe powers are asked to join
the United States in proposing such s
confederation and aiding Cuba to estsb-
| sh it. The abolition OF slavery would,
however, be q necessary condition, and
such pressure must be brought as would
make the insurgents ceEsa their warfare.
This would be difficult, but it could be
accomplished. Secretary Fish is en-
phetic in denying that the United States
desire the acquisition OF Cuba; they only
wish peace restored, slavery abolished,
and commerce allowed to resume its
COURSE. The powers are asked to ex-
prees their opinion upon the proposed
means of accomplishing these ends"
