Senator Hoar has annoui ce 1 himself positively opposed to the acquisition of th Philip pines by the United States. It is rumored among the Re publicans that Isaac Meekins of that party, will contest the election for Sena' or in the Fifth district. Admiral Sampson has made his report of the action of the fleet under his command off Santiago, in conjunction with the army. His criticisms of General Shafter is very severe. The President has authoiized from the available funds, the expenditure of $50,000 for clean ing Havana to make the city as healthful as possible for the residence of soldiers and citi zens. The Philippine leader Aguin aldo, makes the s'artling an nouncement that he will release the Spanish prisoners in the po ssession of the Insurgents for the sum of $1,500,000. A Republican from Wesiern North Carolina makes the as sertion that there is not one Re publican in 100 now who does not favor letting the negro alone, politically. There is a cry of indignation at the appointment of Oliver H. Dockery, Jr., to a lieuten ancy in the First Reeriment: It is one of the grave mistakes of which Governor Russell makes so manv. The Governor has commis sioned Dossey Battle, of Tar boro, judge of the Eastern Crim inal Circuit, and Judge Battle took the oath before Associate J ustice Walter Clark. He will hold his first court in Halifax Monday next. Rev. Jesse Cuninggim Dne of the oldest and most popular rn'nisters of the N . C Confer ence has retired from the active ministry, and granted a super anuatcd relation. Tnis is the first conference in forty years he has tailed to answer the roll csll. In the U. S. District Court in session at Columbia S. C, the grand jury returned true bill against nine well known citizens of McCormick upon the charge of con-piracy, the of fense being the driving away from that town at the time of the recent race troubles of some of the most prominent citizen.

An ap propriation of $25,000 will be asked for. The Guard deserves liberal support in all respects. It is the great police force of the State. A white woman 35 years old was put in the penitentiary to day for only ten years for the murder of her 9 year son in Polk county. She shot him wit,h a pistol. Not infrequent ly women commit ii fanticide, but such a murder of a child of any age is very rare, the peni tentiary authorities say. Dispatches from Manilla say the Filippinos are de ermined not to recognize American rule and will fight against it to the bitter. It is estimated that it will require 70,000 American troops to subdue the insu-gents. The insurgents hold 10,000Span ish prisoners and it is their in tention to compel them to en list iu the insurgent army and fight against, the Americana. Ex U S. Minister to Spain Hannis Taylor is out in a scath ing criticism of the wc?rk of the American' peace commissioners. He sirs the United States shotiid have been as generous to Spain as she was to Mexico. In imposing the hard trms upon Spain," we have, the United States',' ' neagi eat w ro n g to an old and good friend. In fact our treatment of Spai taking of her vast co LLC: sessions in the face of the decla ration made t the opening of the war is an act discreditable to - - the country and we may learn to our sorrow tuereis retribu tion in history. The Secretary of State in canvassioe: the vote cast Nov. 8th, for the judicial ticket finds th clerks of the court have been grossly careless in making up the returns. Over 15,000, notes are reported cast for G. H. Brown in the official returns whereas they should have oeen reported C4St for Geo. H. Brown Jr. This is the case in a little 1 . 1 A over halt ine counties ironi have been which the returns opened and it may increase. This is an inexcusable error, as all the Democratic tickets were printed from one press and all Geo. H. Brown Jr. The Secre tary of State siys he has no j authority to give the vote re turned G H.
