THE DEMOCRAT. WJI. J. YATES, Editor and Proprietor. CHARLOTTE, N. C. December 2, 1873. Latest about the Cuban Fuss. The following dispatches give the latest advices from Washington and Cuba. The indications are not as warlike us they were a few days ago; but the difficulty is far from being settled : Washington, Nov. 29. A prolonged Cabinet meeting was hcl J to-day. It is ascertaint-d that the ultimatum to Spain is the restoration of the Vir gin ius, to salute the flag, release those alive, repa ration to the families of those killed and guar antees for the future. Should Spain fail or be un able o enforce these, the President and the West and Soutli are for war. Punishment of the Cuban officials or the abolition of slavery in Cuba do not enler into controversy. Negotiations art still pro greasing and the result depends upon dispatches from Spain. It was remarked by a Cabinet officer, after ad journment, that the business was in such a condi tion that a single telegram on either side might change the whole course of the proceeding. To night it can be confidently said that the question has assumed a more favorable aspect than it bore this morning, and that tlit-re are stronir reasons for expecting results entirely satisfactory, and it can be added on the same competent authority that although nothing has yet been reduced to precise terms, the situation is very hopeful. Nkw Yobk, Nov 28. A. letter from Havana says the people there would refuse to allow any orllerfrom Madrid (to deliver up the Virginius, or make other reparations for her seizure and execu tion of her crew, to be carried out. Preparations for defence are being actively pushed forward, guns are being mount' d at all suitable points, adv rtise-nv-nts appear in different ports for an unlimited number to work on the arsenals. Volunteers have orders to drill two or three times a week. Railroad Matters. tWThc W. N. C. Railroad has been sold to the N. C. Railroad Company for the sum of seven hun dred and eighty-five thousand dollars. Salisbury Watchman. Who authorized the North Carolina Railmad Company to buy the Western N. C. Railroad ? We presume the above announcement is an error or misunderstanding. The North Carolina Railroad has not been able to pay a dividend to its stock holders in a long time, and how could it buy the "Western Road ? Since writing the above paragraph we find the following announcement in the Raleigh Sentinel. Put all together and form jrour own conclusions of what is going on : Another Injunction. Alfred Swazey of New York, has enjoined Tom Seott, Billy mith and Uafo.d in their consolidation scheme of three in solvent railroads from Beaufort to the mountains. Wc do not know Alfred Swazey, but we do hope the Legislature will not inteifcrc in a tight over the carcass of three dead corpo rat ions by Jegilaiion which will give one set of wolves advantage over the other. We presume legislators will be careful before they endorse any sort of trades and combinations in Railroad affairs where the State is interested. Cotton. There was an advance in Cotton on Saturday the market closing at 14) cents for low in id .1 ling. We hope for a still further advance th is week. N. C. Insane Asylum. We publish an inter esting synopsis, on our second page, of the Report of the North Carolina Insane Asylum for the year 1873. From public and verbal statements ve think tiie Institution has been well managed and controll ed. Dr. Grusoni, the Superintendent, is a first-rate manager, and wc hope he will be permitted to re tain his positi m as long as he is willing to serve the State. Politics of any sort should never be permitted to influence the control of our charitable institutions. m i Bankrupts. The Statesville American, the offi cial organ, publishes notices of the Bankruptcy of the following named parties : W II Baiiey of Salisbury, L W Cochrane of Catawba county, John F Woolen of Gaston county (fo.mtriy of Charlotte), tleo C Rhyue of Gaston county, J W Fowler of Caldwell county, and John Bailow of Ashe county. Attempt to Burn. Early on Friday morning last, fire was discovered in one of the rooms of the Springs building, second floor, adjoining the Print lug llowu of the Daily Observer and the Editorial Office of the Southern Hm. A large hole was burnt in the floor, but the fire was extinguished be fore spreading much. The printing ni Serial of the Southern Home had been removed to another build ing several days previously, but the books and pa pers in the Editor's Office were considerably dam aged by water. About a week previous an attempt was made to fire the Observer Job Office in the Bryce building by placing a coal of fire in a table drawer. Both at tempts are rather strange and unaccountable. If either the Brycc or Springs building had burnt the conflagration would have spread and destroyed a large amount of valuable propertj. We hope some effort will be ma 1c to detect the incendiary. m Destkcction by Fires. The Gin House of Dr. Columbus Mills, in Poplar Tent neighborhood, Cabarrus county, was destroyed by fife on Monday morning, Nov. 2ith, about 9 o'clock, and SO or 35 hales Cotton were consumed. As the Gin was not in operation, the fire is unaccountable. The loss to Dr. Mills is heavy. C50n Monday night, 24th November, the Kitchen of Capt. James F. Johnston, in this coun ty, was burnt, with all its contents This is the second thin- this year that Capt. Johnston has suf- ft-Ted loss by fire on his premises. Z3T We were pleas d to receive a call from our friend, Mr. Avery, Associate Editor of the Pied mont Press. Several of our brother Editors were ia the City during the past week among others, W. L. Saunders of the Wilmington Journal, W II M iloneof the Ashe vi lie Expositor, W P Drake of t'jc S.atesville American, Mr Woodson of the Ral-ci-di News, Mr Uussey of the Piedmont Press, Mr i arter of the Laneasier Ledger, and others whose names we do not recollect.

The Asheville Expositor very properly and time ly says of ttecret class combinations : "It is of doubtful policy to combine in secrecy any large b -dy of men, full of prejudice and pas sion, against another cUits of men. The array of one side will produce opposition from the other. Besides all this, it tends to foment much discord and bad feeling between different classes of men, all equally entitled to respect. And it is a fact that cannot be disguised, that there is a spirit of com munism in a large portion of mankind. Hundreds of men, too lazy to make a support for self or fami ly, would readily co-operate to pull down every man who is industrious enough to have an abun dance, and reduce all men to their own ignoble level. We have seen the effect of Communism in France. The burning flames which recently cloth ed Paris in the habiliments of death the blood of thousands spilt in brutal combat the terrific rav ages of intestine strife, resulting in carnage and uni versal distress, all indicate the great danger of Com munism. This Communism is understood to be the attempt to tear down what is built up, and to level, agrarianize and bring upon an equality all conditions in iife. We have seen indications of riot and tumult in many of our cities in consequence of labor strikes and regulations. Of course we do . not pretend to 6ay that such results are intended, but human nature exhibits itself wonderfully now-a-days bad men seek to control every movement, and the worst passions are inflamed to serve per sonal ends. The Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad. At the meeting of the stockholders of tliis road field in Columbia week before last,; the following resolution looking to the lease of the road was adopted : liesolved. That it is the sense of this meeting that, in order to meet the interest on tne funded obliga tions of this Company, and to provide for its floating debt, and expedite tiie realizing of some return to its stockholders, the most rigid economy in the administration of the affairs of this Company is ab solutely essential ; and believing that this cannot better be accomplished than by the lease of the road and ail its franchises and property to t lie Wil mington, Columbia and Aug ista Railroad Com pany, the Board of Directors is hereby instructed to ascertain upon w.iat t Tins such lease can be affect ed, and if it can ue accouip .shed upon terms tiiat are satisfactory to them, the President and Di rectors are her by fatly authorized and empower ed to make siich lease tor such length of tiin as shall be deemed by them most judicio ;S. That is a move to put the Road from here to Col umbia under the control of the Wilmington & Weldon Road, aud work for freights against the N. C. Railroad. 2F Some months ago we published a statement on the authority of a farmer, showing that he lost one thousand dollars by shipping his Cotton to a Northern City instead of selling it to a Charlotte merchant. The commissions for selling amounted to about two and a hu'f cent per pound. Others who con temp ate shipping cotton may learn some thing from the experience of the fanner mentioned We will give th"e name of the person who lost the thousand dodara to aiy farmer who may want to inquire into the way shippers are made to pay for experimenting. Experience is the be3t lesson. An exchange paper remarks as follows : The Best Market The best market is a home martlet. The further a farmer allows his produce to get from him, tne worse for him. When prac ticaule, a tanner snould never allow his produce to pass from under his eye and conirol until he has tae money for it ia his poeiiet. Freight, mending, Jossage, st alage and commissions have ruined many a fond expectation, to say nothing of having distant houses suddenly "go up." Tribute of liesoect. The Committee appointed at a meeting of the Lawyers of Charlotte to prepare resolutions in re gard to the death of lion. Nathaniel Boy den, o.ie of the Judges of the Supreme Court of North Caro lina, made the following report to an adjourned meeting at the Court House on Monday morning, Nov. 24th, whicn was adopted : liKHuict-d, That we nave learned with deep regret of the death of the Hon.

South Carolina. The salary of the Governor ot South Caro lina is n ly 3,501), and yet it is stated that Governor Aloses, although a bankrupt, with out isible means of support save liis salary, lives in splendor, drives tine horses, sports costly diamonds and other expensive ex Havana tins. The way he m-ls this money is explained by :i single statement we get from lite Charleston News and Courier to the effect thai in December last the General Assembly appropriated $3.15,000 to pay the claims of the Ci edit Mobilicl" frintiug Com pany, and it was openly said at the time that Governor Closes refused to approve the joint lesolutioii unless he was paid forty t li"U:nicl dollars for the job. The '"bosses" oi" the concern complained that very little was h it when they had finished paying the various politicians who ''helped the claim through." The name paper informs us that it was rumored n Columbia that an attempt would be made to impeach Gov. Moses, the general charges against him being that he had re ceived bribes from the Republican Priming Company, and that he had "farmed out" the offices within his official gilt. Such re ports have been in circulation ever since Gov. Moses' was installed. Before lhat he was only accused of fraudulently issuing pav certificates as Speaker of the House of Kepreseutatives; Z3? In iIk- New Vrk Sun of the 5th ult., appears a statement lhat K. K. Scott, (late Governor of S. C ) gave Neagle 30,000 to buy up the members of the Legislature in the last 17. S. Senatorial election, and that 2 eagle' took the money and used it tor Pat terson. Scott says this assertion is only partially true: ''I did not irive Neagle $30,uOO, but I did place in his hands .,u00 to be used in my interest, ami the d d ra: cal took my money aud seemed votes for Patterson." x Goy.

Graham has accepted an invitation extended to him by the Library Committee of the Wilming ton Library Association, and will lecture in that city ut sotne date yet to be decided upon. (S-kavioilc omocvai, (SKaloiie, Forty-Third Congress. The long session of the forty-third Congress will commence ti-day (Monday, Dec. 1st). It will be the first Congress assembled under the new and in creased apportionment in the House of Representa tives, making the number of members two hundred and ninety-two. The administration will hold one hundred and ninety-five seats, giving it a majority of ninety -eight. The opposition will be in a greater minority than in the last Congress, as it then num bered one hundred and eleven members out of two hundred and forty-three, and now there are but ninety -seven Democrats and Liberals in a total of two hundred and ninety-two. Atlanta llerald. .Civil Rights Convention. Delegates of the colored people to the number of one hundred and thirty six, representing forty eight counties, and every congressional district, met in Raleigh on Thursday to consider of Civil Rights. Their reso lutions demanded of Congress all and the fullest rights contained in the civil rights bill of Senator Sumner, including all the privileges now accorded white people on railways, steam boats, in hotels, theatris and every place of public congiegation and accommodation Raleigh Era. The white men who instigate negroes to hold such meetings are their worst enemies, for they are encouraging a seriou3 conflict of races, in which the black man will certainly go down. No doubt of that. And if the negroes persist in their impu dent demands they will find that mean white men who prompt them will desert them when trouble begins. Whenever a nejjro undertakes to force himself to a seat at a Hotel table occupied by white men he need not be surprised if he gets hurt. No true friend of the black man would encourage him to such a suicidal course. fou the cuaklottic democrat. Assistance fur the South. It is extremely gratifying to chronicle any sug gestion offered for the benefit of our people. A proposition made by a Northern gentleman, having this object in view, seems to be attracting attention and obtaining favor among statesmen ; and it is hoped that the Government, through its legislative power and in its magnanimity, will infuse life into it and impart to it the force and vigor of law. The proposition alluded to is, to loan to the Southern planters about five hundred millions of dollars, to he distribute 1 among them as a compensation for their incalculable losses during the war. The pro posed loan of the money is based upon the issue of four per cent bonds of the United States, to run for thirty or more years, at the expiration of which time the Government may relinquish the entire in debtedness. Such a policy would not only tend to heal the wounds inflicted by the late revolution, and restore amicable and really peaceful relations, but is justi fied by precedents worthy of notice and commen dation. Reference may be made to the treaties with Great Britain, terminating two wars, in which it was stated that the British armies should with draw without carrying away negroes or other pro perty of American inhabitants; and because the' did carry away negroes during the war a claim for compensation was admitted by the British Govern ment. In the first article of the treaty of Ghent there was astipulation on the part of Great Britain in regard to any slaves or other private property carried away by them, and the Emperor of Russia, to wJiose arbitration the case was submitted, de cided that the British should pay the American owners for slaves c.wried away (hiring the. war. Precedents of such a lTtgh character at least de serve the respectful consideration of Congress, and when urged for the welfare of the agriculturist, who is the bone and sinew of the country, by such statesmen as the Hon. R. M. T. Hunter, one of Vir ginia's noblest sons, we trust they will profit by his suggestion and afford much needed relief to the enterprising and working people of the South. If the Government were to commence loaning money to the people of the South, the Government might event tally require a sale of Southern lands to pay the debt. Prob.ibh ojr correspondent did not think of that. Our people had better not get in debt to Uncle Sam. If they don't want to see a few thousand more Revenue officers among them about ten y ars hence, they must not owe the Gov ernment anything. New Rule of Practice in Bankruptcy. Salisbury, N. C, Oct. 23, 1873. Hereafter, in all cases where the bank rupt schedules a homestead of the value of $400 or upwards, a deposit of oidy $50 will be required when the petition and schedules are tiled with the Register. The balance of the fees will be paid by the Assignee liom the assets arising from the sale of the reversionary interest in the homestead. The bankrupt may purchase the rever sionary in his homestead, it he destieslo do so. Money may be laid off to the bankrupt as a pari of his exemptions uuder the State law. Where there is no homestead, or other assets to come into the hands of the Assig nee, or 1100 must be deposited. Five Dollars is the fee fixed by the Court, at its late term in Greensboro', for the re conveyance to the bankrupt of the rever sionary interest in the homestead. bankrupts applying for a reconveyance of their reversionary interest in the home stead must send that sum to the Register, who will prepare the Deeds, have them exe cuted and forwarded to them. The following is the rule adopted by the Court under which applications must be made for decrees ot sale or reconveyance of the reversionary interest in the homestead: District Court of U.S., West. Dist. of X.C ) October Term, 1873. j" It is;ordered, That in all cases wherein six ! weeks have elapsed from the time of the discharge of any Bankrupt, in cases where in no proofs of .debt have been made, upon his giving ten days notice to his Assignee that he will apf'-y to the Court for an order conveying the reversion in his homestead, such Assignee will be directed to so convey such reversion to the Bankrupt giving such notice, unless sucb Assignee, upon the re turn day of such notice, shall appear and show cause why such an order should not be granted; and if the Assignee shall make return upon such notice lhat he has no op position to make, and will submit to the or der of the Curt, such order may issue of course whether the ten days shall have ex pired or not.

Senate The chief business of the Sen ate to-day consisted in the passage of the engrossed House bill for the relief of Sher iffs. The bill as it, passed the House ex tended the time for a final sett lenunt of the taxes for 1873 till January 1st, 1874, on condition that the Sheriffs pay in by the 1st of December next, 75 jht cent of ihe whole amount of their several tax lists. In the Senate the bill was amended so as to give the Sheriffs till the first day of Febi 'nary m which to make a final settlement, and that they be required to pay in on or before the 1st of December, all the tax they may have collected in addition to the 75 per cent. Also, that Sheriffs shall receive no mileage in settling their arrears. As ihus amended the bill passed its several leadings in the Senate, but the House refused to concur. Several bills were introduced, among them one by Mr Humphrey to amend the charter of the North Carolina Railroad Coin pany. Mr Waring asked to be .relieved from further service on the Printing Committee. Granted. On motion of Mr Cunningham the bill to provide for and cure irregularities Hi certain elxecutions was put upon its passage. Mr Cu uniugham explained the provisions of the biil and urged its immediate passage. Un der the Code of Civil Procedure returns on execution were required to be made iu sixty days. The act suspending the code required the returns to be made in term time next after the execution. The delay in sending out the laws left officers "urignorance of the change, and many returns were made under the suspended code. This bill proposes to make all such returns regular and valid. The bill passed its several readings and was transmitted to the House. House In the House many bills, mostly of local character, passed their several readings. The bill introduced by Dudley, giving the colored citizens equal rights at hotels, on railroad, steamboats, &c, was tabled by a large vote. Several oi the colored mem bers voting to table. Mr Mailer introduced a bill to amend chapter 60, sections 27 and 28, of Battle's Revisal, so as to allow insolvents, who may be imprisoned as putative fathers of ba tards, or for the fine aud costs of any crim inal prosecution, after remaining in prison ten days, to be discharged. Mr Settle introduced a bill declaring it a misdemeanor for any person who has exe cuted a chattel mortgage Deed iu Trust, or lien, to dispose of the property with intent to defeat the mortgage.

Mr Ellis of Catawba, introduced a bill in relation to contracts. House Dudley, col., introduced a bill to exempt from taxation factories established within the State for the purpose of manu facturing articles raised within the limits of the State. The bill entitled an act to amend section 2, chapter 277, laws of 1870-'71, entitled an act to provide a cheap chattle mortgage, was referred to the Judiciary Committee. Both Houses adjourned until Friday morning, in order to observe Thanksgiving day. Fj:iday, Nov. 28. Senate Mr Ellis of Catawba, introduced a bill to incorporate the town of Hickory Station. Mr Murray offered a resolution recom mending Thos. A. Nicholson, Senator from Iredell, as an additional member of the com mittee on printing. Adopted. Mr Cowles enquired what had become of the House bill for the relief of the several sheriffs of the State could the President inform the Senate whether the House had adopted or rejected the Senate amendment fixing the time ot payment of twenty-five per cent of the aggregate taxes, 1st of Feb ruary, instead of 1st of January. The President replied that he had no official information. Leave was granted to Senator Waring to introduce a resolution relative to the Meck lenburg Declaration of Independence, in viting Gov. Graham to publish all the evi dence of the validity of that declaration and to that end to examine the archives in London and elsewhere. Mr. M. ore head suggested that the preamble might be very arpropriately struck out. Mr Waring had no objection Mr. Harriss said that any North Carolinian who doubted the genuine ness of the Mecklenburg Declaration was insane, and could not see the uropriety of pro posing any resolution on the subject. Mr Norwood regretted that the resolution had been introduced, aud said that we had again and again asstated, declared most solemnly ourentire belief in the validity oi the Mecklen burg Declaration. Mr Waring defended the resolution in a glowing speech iu which he appealed to the State pritle of the Repre sentatives of the people to vindicate the truth of history. Mr A vera moved to lay the whole matter on the table. Not agreed to. Mr Norwood moved to refer the reso lutions to a joint committee of both Houses. Agreed to. The people of the Stste arc unwiiiing to pay the expenses of any man to Europe to hunt up documents to establish the authenticity of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence of .May 1775. The fact can and has been established with out going to that expense and trouble.

Brewster, Attorney General for ihe State of Pennsylvania, who present ed an elaborate brief, holding in substance that the llth amendment to the Constitu tion of the United States did not apply to this Rtiit, because the object therein sought was not to bring suit against the State, but to subject the property of the State, in the hands of the State's commercial agents, to the payment of the debts which the State had contracted to pay as a commercial party. He was followed bv Hon. W. II. Battle, Galling and Moore," and Hon. W. N. H. Smith, who made able addresses, holding iu substance that the State was not a paity to the record, though its agents were, and yet this suit did hold the State directly, and therefore the llth amendment to the U. S. Constitution did apply, and was invalid. They were succeeded by Mr. Badger, U. S. Distriol Attorney, who cited many authorities. Mr. Brewster closed the argumeut, when the Judges took the papers and reserved their decision. Raleijh Sen tiiid. - We copy'the following from the Raleigh rsews : "The object of the Swazey suit is to con demn the dividends to the State from the N. C. R.
