Washington, Dec. 15.
The rouh draft of the special mes
sage on affairs in the Southern Slates
ha already been drawn up, and par
tially considered by the President
and some members of the Cabinet,
although it ha3 not been definitely
settled whether this paper shall be
sent to Congress before or after the
holiday reces. Attorney General
Pierrepont is giving much attention
to this matter, and is making use of
a vast amount of information sent
him by the law-officers of the Gov
ernment living in all sections of the
South.
From Mr. Al friend's Washington letter in
the Raleigh News.
THE NORTH CAROLINIANS IN CONGRESS.
They are a good set these North
Carolina Democrats and they are
not only liked, but held in high es
teem. So far they have been quiet,
but I have noticed that when the roll
has been called the North Carolina
members are always ready to answer
with an emphatic endorsement of
Democratic policy. Waddell says
that he linds it difficult to gel accus
tomed to voting with the majority
after his long service in a forlorn mi
nority. Senator Ransom Irequently
visits the House and enjoys the spec
tacle of Democratic ascendancy with
a relish perhaps 'made keener by his
daily contact with Radical supremacy
in the Senate. Looking to the great
struggle of .next year, it will perhaps
not be long before North Carolina
Democrats will be Irequently inter
rogated as to the outlook in the
Old North State for the- Centennial
year. II. A.
THE ISSUK WITH SPAIN.
What the Tnited State Dcmaods
and Wnat Spain I Willing in Con
cede. i Washington, Dc. 14.
The present distinctive point at
issue between the United States and
Spain is stated in non-official but
usually well-informed circles, as fol
lowsi The United States ask, first, that
in the future all American citizens in
Cuba accused of violation of law
shall be tried by the civil courts, and
not by military tribunals, with all the
rights in such cases as are secured by
the seventh article of the treaty of
1795; and second, that all sentences
where American citizens have hereto
fore been tried by military tribunals
shall be annulled. Spain in some
degree concedes the claim of
the United States to the. first
proposition, agreeing that in the
fnuire-American citizens accused of
violations of law shall be tried by the
ordinary tiibtinals, with the right to
be heard by counsel, to summon wit-nei-sis
and employ other necessary
salVnuards to the accused; but with
llu- reservation that all such trials
shad be according to the law of 1821,
which provides for more expeditious
proceedings- than those of the civil
c mrts for common crimes in times of
peacf. fehe also-offers to revise all
sentences passed by court martial on
American citizens, where it shall be
satisfactorily shown that such sen
tences were in violation of establish
ed laws. This reply is unsatisfactory
to the United States, which takes the
i: round that American citizens act-used
of c.iime cannot be tried by
court martial, but are entitled to
trial before civil tribunals only as
secured by treaty stipulations, with
out such reservation as is proposed
by Spain.
On Monday. Babcock gave a bond
to appear for trial at St. Louis, but,
though in the city, he did not himself
put in an appearance at court. He
keep modestly secluded. Perhaps
before long he -will feel even more
like withdrawing from the public
view than he does now; and if he does
not seclude himself the' marshal will
put hitn iu a sufficiently;, secluded
place.

WILMINGTON,
fflore Treasure (seeking.
Speaking of treasure seeking, a theme
which we touched upon lightly a few days
ago, we learn that a hole about fifteen feet
in width and of considerable depth has
been dug in the vicinity of the mineral
spring, out Market street, near where the
turnpike road commences, and that w hat
must have been intended as a magic circle
or ring has beeu formed from the earth
around it, exhibiting indications that a series
of "goophering" operations have beeu going
on ibtre, performed by the .supeistitious
pertona who dug the hole with theview.no
doubt, of rendering more secure and cer
tain the chances of their coming into pos
session of the treasure they were seeking.
An old house formerly stood where the hole
h is been dug, and the idea no doubt enter
ed the superstitious craniums of the p trty
(said to be colored) who wasted so much
lime and labor in their foolish undertaking,
that a pot or chest of gold would ultimately
reward their search.
We kuew a man.in the town of Newbern
once, who, although esteemed a sensible
person geoerally was a perfect monomaniac
in the matter of digging for money. This
man hired twenty-five hands on one occa
sion, spent two days in digging at a certain
spot and was rewarded at last by finding a
silver quaTter of a dollar!
In this connection we may mention the
fact, which has just come to our knowledge,
that about twenty-five years ago a parlv of
men who had been imposed upon by some
wag of their acquaintance were induced to.
try their luck at money digging at about
the same spot mentioned a few days ago,
near the "Dram Tree." After digging for
some lime they finally came to a box about
three feet in length and two in width,
which they cart fully lifted from its resting
place, put it in their boat and brought it
home. Reaching Wilmington, the party
look it to a convenient spot and proceeded
to open it, all in the meantime gathering
about the precious box with breathless in
terest, eager to learn the extent and value
of their prize. In due time the fastenings
were loosened, the lid removed and they
beheld in the box the remains of a negro
baby!

Christina Goods. , f f , : (-;
The dry goods ' and fancy' Vtores, with'
the stationers, have mostly .had in ; their
holiday supplies for some little time past,,
and we notice they are beginning to gather
the first fruits of the Christmas irado, which
will reach its height by the middle ' Of the
incoming week. And now we" see the.
jewelers are completing their stocks, and
their show-windows begin to be scanned
with an earnestness suggestive of business
intentions on the part of the passers-by.
We took occasion to look over the new
stonk of a Market street store last .night,
and. were almost surprised at the variety in
the stock and the number of new and
pretty designs displayed. The cheap
jewelry, suitable for little remembrancers
to friends, scem3 as a general thing, we
think, to begotten up in better taste and of
superior workmanship to that of former
years in the same class of goods.' There;
are some Jthiogs in cuff buttons ' and sets
that are entirely unique to us and unexcep
t onable in style and price. It seems that
one i no longer to bo compelled
to omit making his , minor presents or
take the alternative of, sending mon
8 roiities in ragged enamel and imita
tio is of fine metals against which his own
good taste rebels. We noticed,: loo; some
exquisite toilette sets in stained glass and
engine work, with silver mountings, which,"
when coming as a present, would serve to
start almost any one off into the -new year
in a good humor.' Then there are delicate
little French clocks set in alabaster and gilt,
surmounted by new and life-like statuettes
and gr.--m in verd antique; and dazzling
displays of c-i' srltss and silverware.tchaeed
and frosted and engraved, and graceful,
perhaps, as your ideal of beaityvand rings
and jewels and watches on which one may
spend a small fortune if he chance to have
it and pleases so to do; and a variety of
pretty little trinkets that, altogether made
us feel well repaid for our time devoted to
their inspection.
Board or Aldermeu. . !
A regular meeting of the Board of Alder-;
men was held last night at the City' Court
room.
The matter of receiving bids for contract
to keep the city lamps in repair was left
open, and the Committee on Lights was
duly authorized to make contract for same.
By recommendatioif of the Committee on
Streets and Wharves, the report of the
Commissioners of Navigation to the effect
that the W. & W. Railroad Co. be allowed
to drive piling temporarily beyond the end
of the uew wharf at their depot, for the
purpose of mooring a vessel in such a way
as to cut out sand and secure deep water,
was concurred in.
By recommendation of the Committee on
Streets and Wharves, the Teport of the
Commissioners of Navigation in reference
to. the driving of piling for a steam ferry at
the foot of Market street by the Brunswick
Ferry Company was non-concurred in.
The following was adopted:
Ordered, That no lumber, brick, wood,
iron or uavul stores be permitted to be piled
or landed on Dock, Market or Princess
treet wharves; and further, that not more
than one cord of wood be landed at any
one time by any person on the wharves at
the foot of either Orange r Mulberry streets.
Any person violating this ordinance shall
be subject to a fine of $10. . ,
Alderman Hankins moved the discharge
of Jacob Wise as - superintendent of the
street carts. Adopted.
Alderman Hankins then moved to go into
an election to fill the vacancy. Adopted.

The ladies and children ci St. John's
parish bad not quite so large a crowd at
their festival last night, at the moment of
our visit, as on-the -evening before, the
cold and wind having doubtless kept many
at home; still the large ball , did not look
lonesome, and as many kept constantly
coming and going the- financial result was
doubtless a satisfactory one. The lack of
a great jam we must think added greatly to
the enjoy menttlie children, and the few
extra dollars thai. might. Jiaye been taken
in were probably profitably off-et by the
consideration of extra pleasure to those
wlio did attend, and which will make tbe
occasion standout in 'heir memory as a
