AbolisEirg Slavery in Cuba.

MADRID. Dee. 5.-The Cabinet Coun-
ell has approved the reports of the SEN
ate committee on the bill for the aboli-
ton of slavery in Cuba. The Govern
ment has decided to dispatch several
small war vessels TO Cuba. \ council
of Ministers was held to-day to discuss
the report of the Senate committee,
which was read in the Senate to-day.
HAVANA, Dec. 5.-Accounts from
Madrid say that the home government
is satisfied with the proceedings of
Captain General Blanco Premier
MARTINEZ Campos cannot leave Spain
before the legislative measures for the
establishment of reforms in Cuba have
been adopted The return to power Of
Senor Canovas del Castillo would con-
stitute political error incalculable as
to its results Reforms in Cuba cannot
have possible solution with elements
contrary to reform entering the Cabi
net 1t is the irrevocable intention of
General Martinez Campos to carry out
his projects relative to Cuba. If de-
feated in the Cortes it is believed that
he will advise the dissolution of that
body rather than resign.

ST PAUL. MINI, Dee l0.-A Fargo
special to the Pioneer Press saws the
hardest storm in the history of the
Northern Pacific Railroad prevails all
along the line from Bismarck to Duluth,
over an area four hundred miles square.

A Short Session.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Times writing from Washington under
date of 10th inst, says as follows about
the present session of Congress and
the probable programme of the Demo-
Gratis, who have majority in both
Houses
1.-The Democrats have been rubbing
their eyes for ten days past and they
have finally decided to advance with
cautious but steady step. Their way
is confesscdiy foggy, but it will grow
no brighter by standing still and tremb-
ling overpossible sclf-destruction. Two
days ago the only thing that seemed to
be settled was the postponement of all
Congressional action until after the
holiday recess, but the Democrats have
suddenly Strengthened up, and they are
all for prudent and prompt work and a
short session. They will pass the for
tifcatioD, West Point and pension ap-
preparations before the holiday adjourn
mcnt, and all seem to have been sud-
denly electrified with the idea of ending
the session by the first of May. The
tariff and financial questions are re-
garded as out Of the way, and the Re
publicans are quite as willing as the
Democrats to skip them until after the
Presidential election. The Republi-
cans are not in condition to precipitate
any measure into Congress, and the
Democrats will be solely responsible
fer the issues discussed during the
present session. The policy of the
majority seems now to be SO far de-
fined as to limit legislation to the
necessary appropriation bills, to an
effort for repeal or modification of
the Federal election laws, to refusal
to make appropriations for supervisors
and marshals, if the President vetoes
their bill, and to enforce stubborn ST.
lcnce as the only response to Republi-
can assaults upon the South. How
long this programme will be adhered
to | will not venture to guess, but it is
likely to work so well for the Demo-
Gratis that they may command univer-
sal obedience from the hotspurs."
Butler citizen. [volume] (Butler, Pa.) 1877-1922, 1879-12-17

that | will repeat more or less OF these
sentiments. But one thing is to he
said that in the contrast or comparison
with foreign countries, the point IN
favor of this country is the great ease
with which poor man can acquire
subsistence, as compared with those
foreign conntries-even in the most
favored circumstances We have a soil
which is very fertile and a territory
which is capable of furnishing food
and raiment for five hundred millions
without crowding each other so much
as in some of those Eastern nations.
This, too, serves to show how great
our country is, and should make our
people more patriotic and love our
country better. With all this have
one regret, and that is, that | cannot
reply-respond to the able address
which | have just heard. | should be
better satisfied with myself if | could
rise TO the occasion, and respond in the
eloquent manner with which | have
been addressed. Gentlemen and ladies
and Mr.. Chief Justice, | thank you all
for what / have heard and seen.

Unsettled Russia.

BERLIN, Dec. 10.-The wcll-in
formed st. Petersburg correspondent
of the National Zeitung says he think;
that the Russian Imperial Council
which was to have been held yester
day, under the presidency Of the En-
peror, was summoned not so much tC
consider the question of peace or wal
as how best to retire from the present
diplomatic attitude of aggression. A
new war would produce an explosion
calculated to shatter the whole organ
ism of the State The last war proved
that foreign enterprises do not remove
the peril involved in the passive op,
position of society to the present sys-
tenn of governments peril greater
than the desperate conspiracies of the
Nihilists.
Intelligence from St. Petersburg
says: another number of the new
revolutionary journal, entitled The
VIII of the People, has been distrbi'
uted in St Petersburg and other
parts of Russia. This number was
printed subsequent to the rcfe It court.
martial and contains comments on the
trial of the Nihilist Mursky' The
Nora Termya, of st. Petersburg,
states that the Governor of that city
has ordered every househoulder to dis
play red lamp before his door nightly
bearing the number of the house.
LONDON, Dec 1.-THE Standards
Vienna correspondent reports that
great excitement prevails at st. Peters
burg. The gendarmc and police forces
have been largely increased. They
necessarily patrol the streets of the
city and are especially numerous and
vigilant near the Winter Palace.
These circumstances indicate that fresh
attempts upon the life of the Gear are
anticipated.
M. Walujeff, who was formerly IA.
voritc with the Gar and the author of
various reform plans, has now fallen
into complete disgrace, the Car hav-
ing flung his constitutional projects
into the fire when NJ. Walujeff sub
mitted them, and dismissed NJ Walu-
jeff himself. Prince Gortschakoff and
NJ Giers have regained all their for
mer influence. NJ. Markoff, Home
Secretary will probably be dismissed,
and General Ignatief designated as
Chief of the Asiatic Department Of the
Russian~Sta Chancellery.
The Ne,cs' Berlin dispatch says:
"a st. Petersburg letter states that on
the same day the Car arrived at st.
Petersburg the revolutionary commit
tee issued a most violent proclamation,
which is being distributed daily, and
in which they avow that the late
attempt on the Cars life was made by
their order, and though the attempt
failed they are not disheartened, but
are ready to try again"

Taking the Census.

From the peculiar provisions of the
law passed by Congress for taking the
census of 1880, the first thing now to
be done is the appointment of what
are termed the Supervisors, being a
hundred and fifty of them, and being
that number of districts in the whole
United States. Pennsylvania gets ten
of these, this county being one OF
eleven counties in the Western part of
the State that compose the 10th Census
district. The pay of these Super
visors is so small that the positions are
not sought for very eagerly. But
when appointed, which may be about
the first of January coming, they in
turn will have the appointment OF
what are termed the enatnlerGtOTs.
These are the men who will have to
do the work. No one of them can
have a district, town or township, that
contains more than four thousand in
habitants, but may have less. The
first work of the Supervisor will be to
divide every county of his district
into these sub district parts, and
appoint an enumeratOr to make the
cnumerations of the same. For that
purpose he will have personally to
visit every county of his district. Col.
Dick. our member of Congress, is
making every effort he can to have
the above Supervisor appointed from
one of the counties composing our
Congressional district, Butler, Mercer
and Crawford counties. Whether he
NAV succeed in this cannot as yet be
known. As soon as the Supervisors
are appointed the work of dividing off
the different counties into sub districts
will, we suppose, commence. We give
the above information in answer to
numerous inquiries made of US. The
work of the enumerators is all to be
done in the month of June next.

Grant at Pittsburgh.

The welcome to eX-Prcsident Grant
at Pittsburgh is described by all as
grand and imposing. Thousands upon
thousands were present and every
thing passed off pleasantly. The
speeches made were i'm exceeding good
taste, and overhowed with genuine
eloquence and literary merit. We
have not space for much that we
would like to give, but the welcoming
remarks of ex-Chief Justice Agnew,
and the reply of Gen. Grant, are so
fine in sentiment that we find room
for them. We copy from Pittsburgh
papers of Monday as follows:
The address of welcome was de-
livered by ex-Chief Justice Agnew,
who, among other things, said:
SIR: While we greet your return
from that worldwide visit, and con-
graduate ourselves upon the renown
you have brought, we view the cir
cumstances Of this safe return with
more than common interest
As we look we see one who, jour-
neving through nations of every grade
and cline, civilized and barbarous,
over all waters, through all seasons,
and every vicissitude of nature, where
hot fevers burn and shivering agues
chill, among men of every hue and
stamp, now stands before us in safety
and in the glow of health and vigor of
manhood. Sir, you have not fallen a
prey to disease, or danger, or accident,
or brought home a broken and en-
fccbled frame. Thus standing, erect
and firm, surely some power above
has guided and guarded your foot
steps, and constantly held over and
around you shield and an armor of
protection, such as no mortal could
WELD.
Sir, the God of Nations alone could
so guard and preserve favored life,
for some wise purpose of His own.
What that purpose is, is now inscruta-
ble-known to Him alone. Yet, that
it will rebound to the welfare and
honor of this Union, we all may wish
and hope. But now we realize His
experimenting care in your safe re-
turn, unaffected and untarnished, after
the highest honors ever heaped upon a
mortal man. Nor should | seek to
draw the viel aside, even though
visions. of dazzling future to this
Nation and to you were filling my
eyes with prophetic light.
In reply, Gen. Grant said
Mr.. Chief Justice, Ladies and Gen
Hemen 1t is source of deep graft
| fication to me that my course has been
approved, so far as have seen since
my return to this country, by my own
countrymen. 1t is also source OF
great qualification that in the years ol
my absence I have not suffered day
of sickness or scarcely a pain, though
in my journey l have passed through
nearly every degree of latitude
from to 81, and every longitude.
1t is also source of gratitude and
acknowledgement that a Power In
visible exerted hand in the preserva-
ton of that health. 1t is also source
of qualification that the European
nations and Eastern countries know so
well the history and grandeur and
resources of this country. 1t takes but
little observation to show that Ameri-
cans are never, able to appreciate the
magnitude of'their own nation until
they have travelled in foreign countries.
In addressing so many audiences OF
my countrvmen, it is to be expected

Death Of Hon. Darwin Phelps.

Hon. Darwin Phelps, of Armstrong
county, died at his residence near Kit
tanning, on last week, Sth inst, in the
73rd year of his age. Mr.. Phelps rep
resented this county in Congress, being
elected in 1868, when We were in a
district composed of Armstrong and
part of Allegheny county He was
followed By Hon. F. McJunkin, who
was first elected in 1870. As citizen
Mr.. Phelps was pure, high-toned,
genial gentleman, and much respected
by all who knew him. His death is
very sincerity lamented by his neigh
bors and the people of Armstrong
county very generally.

A Good Name.

Ex-senator Scott, of this State, is
now mentioned in connection with the
next Presidential nomination. 1t is a
singular fact that up to this time the
name of no Pennsylvania Republican
has been brought forward for the COM
ing nomination. New York has half
dozen, named on one side or the other !;
Ohio has as many, and in some other
less important States, some one of
their distinguished sons will be pre-
sented to the coming National Con-
ventions. But old Pennsylvania, the
second State in the Union, the key
stone of the Arch" is nameless so far
as to. Republican candidate, while
we have as good and as able men as
other States. Whereas there purer,
frmer. abler man than ex-senator
Jnh,n Scotfs zyhere better lawyer.
