The despatches of Friday and Sat.
urday Iwed war, but now it is reported
tbat tiie Virginius and crow aro to be
gWen up as agreed upon by pratocol,
and it appears now that we shall have no
war.
Dispatches from Havana via Key
West state that the feeling on the ques
tion of the delivery of the Virginius has
undergone considerable chatigo siuoe Fri
day. Many Spaniards are now in favor
of an imMjdiate quiet delivery of the
vessel to tho United States auilioritics, as
a Contrary course would place them in op.
en rebellion ae;iiust tbe 2vernment of
Spain. The loading officers of the volun
teers held a meeting Saturday morning,
at tho residence of Senor Zucluta, resi
dcht of the Casino Espanol, who subse
quently informed an American gcutlcnian
that the Virgiuius would be delivered
quietly. It is reported that Seuor Zuelu
ta has received a telegraphic dispatch
from Senor Calvo, the representative at
Madrid of the Casino E'panol, counsel
ling the delivery of tho Virginius, and
saying that Spain will afterward claim
$100,000,000 dutnages from the govern
incut of the United States.
A Herald Havana special says the
American consulate is quietly guarded by
troops, and that an attempt was male,
last Thursday night, to burn the Virgiui
us, and regular soldiers have been sent ou
board to protect her. Gen. llurriel left
Havana, recently, for Santiago, to resume
charge of that department.
Secretary Robeson has let his " snipe
and toast" alone enough to diotate orders
to one of the best cammandcrs iu the navy,
Charles A JJabcock. of Graud Ilapids,
Mich., a blue-buttoned sailor ef '24 years'
standing, to pick up boys In blue in .his
cily. Commander liubcock has servod at
length and with distinction in the service,
his raotd iu relation to York River being
particularly known and noticeable. This
distinguished naval officer comes to this
city to recruit seamen, not ia view of a
war with Spain, but to add to the Ameri.
can navy. what the State can well afford, a
hundred or so cf-. Green Mouutain Boys.
Engineer Luther. li. Harvey, a nephew of
our former townsman, Heury llolfo, will
also be In charge of the of the recruiting
station here with Commander Bubcock.
It is expected that the recruiting rooms
will be in the old county court house.

Penitentiary as tbe prison in which Gov
ernment offenders were punished. In
proof whereof the Wurred and faded
pages of the records with the ame of the
convict, "William M. "Tweed, States
man," may be adduced. And if the in
quititive New-Zcalander shall pursue his
researches into tho history of Twsed s
time and country, the quality of its prom
inent aud successful men, tho great enter
prises carried on, the mean by which they
wore forwarded, the methods of legisla
tion, and the objects aimed at, tho rela
tions of tho holders of public trusts to tne
public who trusted theui, the atmosphere
of gnvcrnmcment and the tone of those
who administered it, it is pretty certain
tha' Mr. Twced't sarcasm, if so it waa in
tended, will have lost its force. For the
wonder will be not that one "statesman"
wore, the uniform and answersd to the
roll-call of tho Penitentiary, but that the
prison was not full of them.
But if tbe New-Zealander, spurred by
this descriptive list of our great felon to
a search through the records of Tweed's
timo for eotcmporaneouB "statesmen," shall
marvel at their avcrugo hight and wtiht.
and at the claisificatious aud dcfiuitioea of
the age that produced them, what will await
him when he pursues Lis inquiry further
to the records of those who like Tweed
before bis keeper, named themerlves the
"Christian s'atesmcn" of tho period.
Well Tweed spared us the bitterness of
that turcafin. lie did uot call himself a
'Christian statesman." He might, witb
equal propriety und truth, but he did n.it.
ludeod he expressly took himself out of
that category by his answer to the suc
ceeding questiou. "Ruligion 7" asked
the keeper, and he answered "None.'"
Statesman he confessed himself, but noth
ing more. Aud we thank him,
As to this nian, now at hard labor ic

who does not wear diamonds and dispense
patronage and hold a great cily under his

theory. And whichever is true, it is
quite worth considering as a commentary
upon our politics and our morals. 'States

over and fix the standard why not?

The steamer Virgiuius was, on the 26ih
day of September, 1870, duly registered
at the port of New York aa a part of the
commercial murine of the United States.
Ou the 4th of October, 1870, having re

usual legal form, she sailed from the part
of New York, and has not since been
within the territorial jurisdictfln of the
United Stttcs. On the 21t day of Octo

of Santiago de Cuba, where many of i.er

so far at least as rclitcs to those who w ere
citizens of the United Stales, were without
due process of law put to deuth. It is a

unanimously on the 10th of June, 1868,
that American vessels on the high seas in
time of peaee. bcariug iho American flag,
remain under the jurisdiction of the couu
try to which they belong, aud therefore
any visitation, molestation, or detention cf
such estcl by force, or by the exhibition
of force, on the part of a foreign power is
in derogation of the sovereignty of tbe
United States. In accordance with this
principle the restoration of the Virginius
and the surrender of tbe survivors of her
psssengers and crew, and a duo repara
tion to tho flag, and tbepuuisnmeiitof the
authorities who hud b?en guilty of the
illegal acts of violence were demanded.
Tha Spanish Government has recognized
the justice of the demand, and bus ar
ranged for the immediate delivery f the
vessel and for tho surrender of the sur
vivors of the passengers and crew, and
for a salute lo the flag, aud for proceed,
ings looking to the punishment of those
who may be proved tohavo been guilty of
illegal acts'of violence towaid citizens of
the U.S., and also toward indemnification
for those who may be shown to be entitled
to indemnity'.
In taking leave of this subject for tho
present I wish to renew tbo expression of
my conviction that the existence of Afri
can slavery ia Cuba is a principal cause
of the lamentable condition of the island.
I do not doubt that Congress shares with
me tbe hope that it will soon be made to
disappear, aad that peace and prosperity
may follow its abolition. The embargoing
of American estates in Cuba, cruelty to
streets, Mr. Cnfliti pronounces ulto-
r 'tt.cr untrue. The moment life was ex.
SlIOt RtNO Casualty. About (5 o'clock tinet, the four budies were placed in a carl
Weducbday morning lust, tho hired msii i""'1 taken to the euiictery.w ueic they wee
thrown into a ruoe nolo nuMiiy uu, mm
some sliovel-l'uls of clay thrown over the
letiiaiii".
Mruunhi'e the hnu-e of Mr. Smith, the
American Consul, bad been placed under
a guard af Spanish soldiers, and iMr.Snllh
was compelled to remain within diKiis.aml
not allowed to told commuuicaliun by Ut
ter tr otherwise with any onu outside. He
was tint even permitted to come out oo his
veranda.
The inassuero of Cuptuiu Fry and the
crew, Mr. Coffin describes us follows: The
execution took pluce in the aliernooti. 1
lalkcd with Capt. Fry on the way from the
jail to llio slnughter-honse. I usked him
where was the Vidimus when she was
captured. Iln said h was jut 18 miles
bouth-scuthrast from Fort Mutant on the
coast of Jamaica, and that when he saw
they were certain to be captured he sent
lor Varona and asked him what he pro
posed in do. to ti;Nt or surrender, lidding
' It's all one to me.' Vuroua r plied that
lie thuht it best to surrender. There
wus a siow mulch to the mugHzinu. but h

near Sheldon line, wcut to thu burn with
a kerosene lantern, aud commenced doing
the chores when the lantern exploded and

burned lo deuth, utile the bain, two
cows, four horses, 4i) sheep and all the

During the forenoon Mr. Smith's charred
remains were secured, but the limbs were
gone aud the rest of the body burned be

A Sign or tub Times. A writer iu the
Newburyport Herald, who mourns tho re
ligious degeneracy of tho times, relates
the following.
"There is a bitter sarcasm in the story
told of a minister on our seaboard, which,
though very likely to be hypothetical, has
a terrible under current of truth. It
was said that in the afternoon, service
had fonud.hini but a handful of hearers.
the rest haviug guiie on a steamer excur-j
tioo lor pleasure, lis entered the pulpit
and su id thus, as the story goes : 'Mv
hearers, 1 have brought a sermon, but it
is uscles to preaoh 't. I find my duties,
as a minister, are very much simplified,
tbe times have changed, there is but one
virtue to bo recommended, and (hut is
money ; but one sin to be rebuked, aad
that is poverty ; so you see my occupa
tion is gone, the ministry is played out.
aud I must go to farming. Receivo iho
benediction.' "
Messrs. Rogers and Mixter, special
ace. Is of the treasury department, assert
that their extermination of Collector
Crane's books at Burlington positively
convinces them that he is justified in
chargiug the $17,000 defalcation upon
Jewett, the former clerk, as has been
American citizens detected in ne act of j stated, denies, but Mr. Crane has brought
hostility to the Spanish Government, the' a suit against him, and this wi ue f.
murderinE of brismiers taken with arms! lowed bv aotinn r.n inn nnrt. f it,-
in their hands, tind, finally, tbe .capture ' crnmenf. '
had siiTendered. Al the place of execu
linn, ' continued Mr. Coffin, "one of my
mutes. Claries Bell thu steward of our
vessel, gave poor Fry a glass of water,
t'he Spaniard, treated the Captain well,
and never pinioned him from first to last.
He, and indeed all the othi rs. Imre up
bravely, and never flinehtd for an iustaut.
When tbo crew hail knelt down ths Cup
tain walked along the line and bade good
bye to all tho men in turn, white und
black, for there wero several negroes in
the crow. As the men knelt they were
distant from the wall that surrounds the
execution ground about three feui, while
about throe pacts behind them, with lev
eled muskets, siood the detachment of
marines detailed to execute the sentence.
Just before the fatal volley wus fired, Cup
tain Fry took tl his hat. He seemed us
if he was saying a prayer. Of the whole
37, Capt. Fry wus the only person who
fell at the first fire. His body wus riddled
with bullets, and he died almost instuuily.
All tho others were but slightly wounded.
The scene that followed wms ihe most
frightful I ever witnessed, and I have
been on many a battle-field. After the Gist
volley I jumped upon the Wull, uudfrom
i here could see everything that happened.
Tho poor creatures that were wounded Iny
upon the ground rolling about frsn'ically
m their own blood, and utte.ing shrieks of
pain aud ageny, and loud dppcals fur
mercy. Their appeals for mercy fell upon
men deaf lo compassion. The murderers
rushed upon them like demons, und, thrust
ing thflir-muskets into the mouths and ears
of the unfirtuiiiite wretches, absolutely
blew their heads off. Some of tho peor
oreatureg frantically endeavored to burst
