They were prepared to use violence to any extent to compel his retreat. This action arises from the hostility of the Indians to the confedera- tion and its plans for territorial dominion.

FREE TRADE MEETING IN INDIANAPOLIS. INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 10, 4369, The free traders held a meeting here this evening. Much interest was manifested by the audience in the eloquent speeches delivered by Professor Perry, General Brinkerhoff and Mahlon Sands. Professor Perry stated he had learned that the cost of pro- ducing pig iron in Missouri is only twenty-three dol- lars per ton, and yet, owing to the tariff, tne con- sumer is made to pay forty dollars per ton. Iron ore there 18 of ninety-five per cent purity, while in Scotland it is of but taventy-three per cent purity, and yet the American tron master, with great advantage and protection of distance, asks for tartif, The iron of Missouri is so pure that horse shoes have been made from it without smelting. Salt also, he said, can be produced at Saginaw so cheap that the manufacturers ask forno duty, and assert that if the Onondaga salt monopoly could be broken up they would supply the West at fair prices. General Brinkernoff denied that free trade would injure mandfacturers as a whole, and asserted that fré raw matérial would benelit them more than any amount of protection. Removal of the duty on pig tron would cause the building of additional rail- roads, snfictent to employ all the laborers engaged in making pig iron; free trade would decrease the cost of living and increase the demand for labor. —— RAILROAD FREIGHT AGENTS’ CONVENTION, Lovisvitxe, Ky., Nov. 10, 1869.

The Proposed Destruction of the Cuban Sugar Crop. WASHINGTON, Nov. 10, 1869, General Butterfield’s Successor. The appointment of Charies J. Folger as Sub- ‘Treasurer at New York gives general satisfaction to ail the officers of the Treasury. In tne early days of Secretary Boutwell’s administration of the Depart- ment, when Mr. Folger was an applicant for the Place, 1¢ 18 stated that Boutwell favored Folger and ‘was anxious for nis appointment rather than for that of Butterfield, but the President appointed the latier, Who was pushed by Senator Fenton. At that time Folger was urged py Senator Conklin, Governor Morgan, Treasurer Spinner and several radical mem- bers of the House from New York. As soon as General Butterfleid’s resignatfon was re- celved here the position was offered to Mr. Folger by Secretary Boutwell and his appointment urged by General Spinner. It 1s ascer- tained now that the place was not tendered any other person, for the reason that Mr. Folger did not signify hus retusal to accept, and it was understood nere in oMictal circles that he would finally take it. The Paraguayan Muddle—Ex-Minister Wash- burn’s Statement—Examination ot Ex-Min- ister Worthington Before the Congressional Investigating Committee. Ex-Minister Charles Washburn, General James Watson Webb and a few other notabies arrived here to-day. Mr, Washburn called upon your correspond; ent this evening to correct what he states to bea misrepresentation of his conduct contained in one of my recent despatches. He declares that the state- ment, which referred to him without mentioning his name, that he had made a demand for mileage to and from California in consequence of his being sum- moned to Yestily before the Foreign Affairs Commit- tee relative to Paraguayan matters is without truth, He never made any such demand; but merely sald, jokingly, one day, when another witness claimed mileage from a distant part, that he (Washburn) had come all the way from England and ought to be allowed mileage from that country here. This he gives asthe only foundation for the story that he demanded mileage from California, Mr. Washburn declares that every unfair effort is being made to prejudge his case by certain parties, who convey to correspondents false statements of what takes place before the investigating committee, He says most of the statements that have been published thus far are one-sided and prejudiced. At thesame time, how- ever, Mr. Washburn admits that my recent despatch giving the substance of Commander Kirkland’s tes- timony before the committee in regard to a remark of Mrs, Washburn on board the steamer Wasp is substantially correct. He admits that Admiral Davis, Captain Ramsey and Commander Kirkland all testi- fled to that fact, but states that no such remark was made by Mré. Washburn; that Mrs, Washburn was examined by the committee on that point, and that she testified that a plan had been discussed at ner table to depose Lopez and place his two brothers in power in Paraguay; that she had no recollection of any such conversation, and that she could not have made any remark of the kind, for the reason that it would mot have been the truth. Mr. Washburn further states that 80 far from the testimony thus far taken being dam- aging to his side, it 1s nearly all favorable; that no material allegation made by himself has yet been Gisputed, and that the investigation altogether is progressing in just the way he desires. The sub-committee having charge of the subject were again in session to-day for about three hours, Mr. Worthington, ex-Minister to the Argentine Tepublic, was examined in relation to the allies and their war against Paraguay. His testimony was directed both against Lopez and Brazil. He consia- ered the course of Brazil open to severe censure, ana that she was without déubt attempting to absorb the small neighboring republics, Mr. Worthing- ton expressed & sympathy for the cause of the Paraguayans, who he considered deserved great praise for their determination and heroism. He doubted, however, the sincerity of the leader. Mr. Worthington stated in event of the success of Brazil the latter power would at once direct her energies against her republican allies and attempt to subjugate them also. His sympathy was entirely with the Argentines and Orientals, His testimony supported McMahon against the accusa- tions now undergoing examination before the com- mittee. Mr. Worthington stated that ne considered the feelings of Brazil towards the United States of decidedly an unfriendly character. The sub-com- mittee bas determined to meet daily until all the testimony shall have been taken, Mr. Webb will probably be called to-morrow. Tho Cuban Programme=What Recognition Would Save. The proclamation of Cespedes with regard to de- stroying the growing cane, which mostly belongs to Cubans, but li gathered would be used by the Span- jards against them, is fraught with more importance to the interests of the United States than is under- stood in this country. The Cuban agents will shortly give to the public a statement based on United States offictal reports, which will be very startling. Up to this time the Cuban insurgents have never attempted to destroy sugar plantations, except !u the east end of the island, where there are very few. In the right season, when there was @ company of Spanish soldiers intrenched in each of the sugar works, a band of twenty- five men was sufficient to fire the cane in half a dozen garrisoned estates almost within sight of each other. When dry enough, and before ready for the mill, the caneflelds burn like coal oil, Accidental fres have been known to spread through nine miles of sugar cane in three hours. The burning ordered, long planned and systema- tized, will take place up to within an hour's ride of Havana, One hundred thousand troops coald not stop it When about one hundred estates are burned, which will occur tne firat week of opera- tions, the incredulous sugar interest will begin to believe, and sugar will jump up ten percent ata time, A glance at the memorial of the Cubans shows:—First, That half the sugar used in the United States comes from Cuba; second, that sugar and tobacco give the United States over $26,000,000 revenue; third, that the United States export $11,000,000 of provisions; fourth, from 000,000 to $7,000,000 of machinery; fifth, the pro- fits made in the United States by sugar refineries. This sugar, if destroyed in Cuba,gas undoubtediy nineteen-twentieths of 1¢ will be, aud Cuba baving no other resources, what will become of the United States duties ? What will become of the $15,000,000 or $20,000,000 of provisions and machinery hereto- fore exported to Cuba, &c.? This logs to the United States is reckoned at a high gure, but is certainly $50,000,000 or $60,000,000, and that not for one year, but for the next and the next, and all might have been avoided by recognition. Judge Kelley’s Tariff Project. It appears that the President, when called upon & few days ago by Judge Kelley, of Pennsyivania, about the tariff question, did not express any par- ticular opinion on the proposition submitted. Kel- ley’s plan, as laid before the President, was to put all raw materials not produced in this country on the free list, and to make a consequent reduction in the duties on the articles manufactured from this raw material, The President did not commit him- self either way, but simply requested Kelley to leave with him some facts and figures wich he had pre- pared on the subject, Missoarl Swamp Lends. The Commissioner of the General Land OMice has subinltted to the Secretary of the Interior for appro- LOUG.AAVAL £404 WLEAULI ES, val a list of lands in Gentry county, Mo., selected and reported under the swamp grant of September 28, 1860, of whose swampy character the State has Presented proof, to obtain the indemnity provided by the act of the 2d of March, 1855, The award accorded to said list will entitle the State of Mis- sourt to locate 1,314 acres in lieu of the lands described in the list. Report of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. Commissioner Delano put the finishing touches upon his report to-day and sent it to the Secretary of the Treasury. One of the main features of itiss detalied comparison between the amounts of reve- nue collected during the last year of Jobnson’s ad- ministration and that coliected since Grant came into power. Of course the balance is in favor of the latter, but it 1s not known whether Mr. Delano takes into the account the amount of tax collected from spirits in bond when he came into office, and which Were brought outon the 30th of June by an act ot Congress compelling the owners to take it out or else submit to an additional tax of five cents on the gallon, As this tax forms @ large part of the sum total of the revenue collected its being counted in or excluded would make an important difference. In all hig calculations heretofore Mr. Delano has in- cluded this as @ part of the amount collected by him. Prevention of Frauds in Printing Fractional Carrency.

Tho court below admitted the declarations of the de- coased at the time of the injury, and during bis illness thereafter, ag to the cause of his injuries and the nature o: his sufferings.

The eviaence received to establish the fact found by tife jury, stated above, was objected to as hearsay and inadmissible and tne objection being overruled, exception was taken and the ruling brought here for review, the insurance’ company 1osisting on the point that it was hearsay evidence; and contending for the sufficiency of a clause in the policy requiring the proof to be satisfactory to the company and the right of the company to reject (tif not to them satisiactory. The defendant in error maintains that the representations of a sick person, of the navure, symptoms and eifects of the malady under which be 18 laboring, made at the time, are received as original evidence, and that the principle is well settled, O.

The defendants claimed a license for the. process used by them under a patent granted to one Morris in March, 1856, and_ reissued in May, 1862. The ma@hine of the piaintiffs is what 1s known as the rotary form machine, and that of the defendant what 1s technically cal the “sta- tionary form machine;” and upon the question of infringement the issue was brought down to the single point whether, 1a view of the state of the art, plaintiffs’ patent coukl be fairiy con- strued to cover machines for bending wood in which stationary. forms were employed? The deiendants’ machine contained, among others, all the features which the piaintufs’ assignor declared it was the objett of his ineention to avoid; and upon its Whole Case, as presented by the evidence, the jury found for the detendants and their verdict declared there had been no infringe- ment, From the judgment entered on this veraict writ of error Was taken to this Court, the plaintif in error relying upon alleged errors iu the ruilag of the Court of questions of evidence.
