General Grant Superior to Emperor William as an Exponent of Spanish Affairs—Will For- eigners Intervene to Stay the War Against the Indian Tribes? Havana, Dee. 16, 1874. The Meseage of President Grant ia generally discussed without excitement by the people, who do not attach much importance to the allusions to. Spain and Ouba. The authorities give no sign of their opinion, but the journals have lengthy eat- torlals, which, while they are not considerea to reflect the sentiments of the people in general, may suit the views of the parties they respectively Tepresent, WHAT THE HAVANA PAPERS SAY OF THE AMERICAN + MESRAGE, The Voz de Cuba says:—"The silence observed on Spanish affairs by the German Emperor in his speech to the Reichstag 1s amply compensated for in President Grant’s Message. It is a noticeable coincidence that while the United States aspircs to supremacy in America and Germany to supremacy in Europe, both are anxious to meddie with the internal affairs in Spain. Aside fiom the desire of these nations to have peace in Spain, her affairs cannot interest them 60 much as ourselves, and we must view their efforts with suspicion, Russia imposed silence on Germany. We do not know who will make Grant silent, As {or the insurrection here, on the strength and duration of which the Presi- dent lays stress, it is less powerful now thad it was at the beginning, and ita endurance fails to give it any significance. We doubt tf any Power will interfere in Spanish affairs, at least tn Cuba; but should they attempt intervention we are pre- pared to repel it.” The Diario de la Marina, in an article moderate in tone, says:—‘There ts nothing in the Message to cause alarm to the moat timid. The present Condition of affairs is not to be compared with that of last year, There has been some excite- ment in the gold market over reports about the Message, to which we attribute the rise of eight per cent in the premium.” THE SPANISH MILITARY SITUATION AND THE IDEA OF FOREIGN INTERVENTION. Referring to the military situation, the Diario declares that affairs have improved in the Eastern Department, while they show no change since the autumn of 1873 in the Ventral Department, owing to continuous rains and the many thousands of sick In the army. As for the rebels, only about a dozen of their original leaders remain; the others are dead or have lett the island. Their army num- bors trom 6,000 to 6,000 men, the larger majority of whom are uegroes and Chinamen. The leaders ho.d out jor the sake Of the power they enjoy, re- garding it as compensation ‘or their troubles, The negroes refuse to surrender because they mis- takenly believe that they will be reduced to their former condition of slavery if they give up.

New Or.Eans, Dec. 16, 1874, The Prestdent’s threat to hurt somebody has made the republicans so courageous that they now declare they are prepared to meet any armed dem- onstration, They boast that Kellogg is reorganiz- ‘mg the Metropolitans and militia; that all doubt- ful Metropolitans will be removed and their places filled by disappointed office-seekers about City Hall, who have heretofore been with the peopie and who will fight, and the militia will be reor- ganizea with picked material, witn General Frank Heron, late of the federal army, a3 com- ander, The attempt made this week to force negro children into the public scnools is generally accepted as a trick to inflame the people and invite violence, but it will fail of effect. Even Kellogg professes to oppose it, and the Republican has @ strong article against it, Ag I have often said the people’s organizations are aetermined to avoid violence and bloodshed. Last night the White Leaguers resolved that they will continue to keep the peace and maintain public order. An afternoon paper gives currency to vague rumors that negroes are pouring into the city and arming, but 1 can see no evidence of it, It is very evident that the best feeling exists between the city blacks and whites, and design- ing scamps who induce ignorant country blacks to commit violent demonstrations will scarcely be able to inaugurate @ War of races here such 43 that in Vicksburg.

Another Protest from the Conservatives— Pupils of the Boys’ High School Re- fuse Admission to Colored Boys—Sott- Sawder from the Superintendent, NEW ORLEANS, Dec, 16, 1874, The Returning Board, after receiving another protest rom the conservatives, which they hoped | would be the last, went into executive session to | consider the cases of the protested parishes, The pupiis of the Boys’ High School to-day re- fused to allow the colored boys to enter the school- house, The pupils naving been Informed that the Superintendent could settle the question and pre- vent the admission of colored voys, they appointed @ committee to call upon him, The Superintend- ent stated be was only an executive officer, that the whole matter was tn the hands of the School Board, and that he believed the Board was con- trolled by the general school law, which made no Tace distinctions, He stated It might be that none of the colored boys would be able to pass the necessary examination, or they might be wholly withdrawn. More than this, the School Board might deem It necessary to establish a branch school and thus dispose of the question in a way consistent with the views and feelings of tne pupils of the High School, ‘STODDABT’S BABK, Funds of the State in a Suspended Bank=—Five Democratic Congressmen Declared Elected by the Governor.

VIcKsnunG, Miss., Dec, 15, 1874, To ras EpiTor or ruxg HERALD:— At a meeting of the Vicksburg Bar this date it Was unanimously resolved tnat the following be telegraphed you :— We pronounce the: letter of Judge George F. Brown, embraced in the telegram of Governor Ames, of this State, appearing in your issue of December 10, a gross misrepresentation of facts. There was no organized mob of several hundred armed men, but a peacéabie, orderly assembly of Grave, respectable citizens, seeking the due ob- servance and enforcement of the laws, No vio- lence to any one was offered or threatened; no menace. indignity or disrespect was offered to the Court, nor was there any interference with its business, aud no necessity for its adjourament. Upon the resignation of the Shertmf the Judge has power under our jaw to appoint another per- son to perform the duties of the office, and it was our purpose to Walt upon him in a body to re- quest him to do so, and proceed with the business Ot the Court on the very morning the attack on the city occurred, We refer to the statements of prominent citi- zens already given to the country as being a cor- rect exposition of the facts of the late occurrences in this city and county, £. J. MoGARR, Chairman. WILLIaM H. JEWETT, Secretary, Cardozo’s Incendiary Letter—Firing on as Burial Party of Whites. In the citizens’ statement concerning the troubles in Vicksburg, a condensed 1orm of which Sppeared by telegraph in the HERALD, a few facts which we find in the Vicksburg Herald of the 13tn were omitted. The citizens say :— On Tuesday aiterpoon, when it was supposed that all fighting was over, a party of our citizens, while engaged in barying a Iriend who bad been Slain in the conflict, was fred on from an ambush bya Fooy of armed negroes and one of their num- ber was killed. Since then the Mayor of Vicksburg has organized & special police force, and under ita survetliance peace and quiet have been com- pletely restored ‘and our peopie have resumed their usual vocations, It_may be here added that at an interview had between a number of our citizens and 0. 4. Lee, Side-4- Cop, and A. G, Packer, Adjutant Gen. ral, Fépresénting Governor Ames, alter the oc- currences above mentioned had taken place, it was admitted by the latter that the negroes wio marched upon the city were lawless bodies of arined men, and that our citizens could not have done otherwise than repel the invasion thus made upon them. ft 4 And jurther, that at ire prisoners captured concurred pe ating that théy Wére acting under orders recelved irom Crosby. That such was the case and that in the aude cious abd murderous Ggdault upon our people this man was counselled and countenanced by Governor Ames and those in his immediate confidence indisputably appears trom the facts already stated as well as from tne following letter, which was received oy Crosby during his confinement :— Orricg SuremintENDENt oF Pusiio Epucation, ‘acKson, Miss, Deo.

Your friend, CARDOZO: SHIPWRECK AND LOSS OF LIFE, The Robert Pettis, Schooner, Founders im a Gale off Dutch Island—All on Board Drowned. NeEwronrt, R. I., Dec. 16, 1874. The following particulars of the shipwreck in the West Bay leaves no doubt of the fears ex- pressed in regard to the loss of the Robert Pettis, The schooner J. Albert Smith, Captain Patterson, arrived this morning, and reports that on Monday he was in company with the Robert Pettis all day; thar they entered the bay together, and that just before dark they were within speaking distance, the Robert Pettis being ahead. He last saw her some time uiter dark, under a foresail and jib, When the gale commenced Captain Patterson came to anchor, and saw no more of the Robert Pettis, but sup- posed she also came to anchor. The next morn- ing, with a glass, be looked about where he thought she would be likely to conie to anchor, and there saw the mastheads sticking out of water, He also perceived tnem as he came by this morning, and thinks they are her mastheads. He thinks it is probaole that she was capsized in the gale and sunk at once, giving the crew no cnance to escape, ‘Ihe crew consisted of Captain Sidney Ellis, of Harwich, Mass., who leaves a wife and six children; James Beilis, mate, Harwich, who leaves ‘a fambly; Henry 0. Handren, seaman, West Harwich; Ezra Smith, cook, who leaves a family; George Andrews, seaman, Harwich Centre, who also leaves a family. The scllooner haa on board 2,800 bushels of oysters for Rob-rt Pettis, at Essex, Conn, in and was of seventy- five tons register. The fact oO the divers ascertaining her name to be the Robert Pettis will serve to clear up the mystery and leave the families of the ill-fated crew no chance tor @ hope of the unknown vessel being proved to be some other. It is presumed she was trying to beat up the river, and that the entire crew eres in the fearful gale of Monday night. She es One mile north of Dutch Island. MURDEROUS SHOOTING. Relatives Fall Out About a Trifle and 4 Fight with a Gun and Axe=Fatal Vic- tory for the Gun. Lancaster, Ohio, Deo. 16, 1874, Last Friday afternoon a shooting affray took place on the farm of Hugh Hardwick, two miles this alde of Bremen, a village in this county, that resulted ina tragedy. Tne shooting was done by Hugh Hardwick, and bis victim was his cousin, Robert Hardwick. It seems that some years ago @ sister of Robert married an oid man by the nane of Smita, who was pretty well supplied with ducats and owned the lands adjoining those of his wife’s brother. The two farmers found it ex- pedient to keep their hogs ia one pen, the pen to be built on the old man’s place, and Hardwick to find the material and buiidit, This was accord- ingly done, and matters between the two par- ties went on swimmingly for & twelvemontnh or so, when a difficulty arose between them, The former friends became deadly enemies, and through the influence of her brother the old man’s darling left him, After this sundering of the conjugal tle Smith disposed of hts acres to Hugh Hardwick, oie moots and shook the dust Of the locality ma . Hugh, however, did not believe in @ promiscu- ous treat ot swine, and he told Robert that he could not Keep hia hogs in the pe on his place. ‘Then Robert said that he must have the material out of which the pen was constructed, and with an axe, last Friday evening, he began to demolish it, Hugh fumed and expostuiated, but all to no avail, for the moment he made a move to stay the demolition of his property Robert threatened to tomahawk him, Alter repeated Temonstrance Hugh's rage became unmanagabie, and, Lewy | to the house, he came forth again, shotgun in hand. The sight of the shotgun, how- ever, did not intimidate Bob, and he continued bis work of destruction, but Bugh advanced on nim with shotgun levelled, and bert, whirling his axe aloft, started to meet him. It was at this eritical juncture the trigger was manipulated, and @ heavy load of shot tore Robert’s chin away and poe in bis left shoulder, making two frightful = pee wounds, from which he survived only few hours, thorties” and had? te Saturday before ' over to Court an $4,000 vail, in the custody of the au- Preliminary examination ire Gardner and was bound lodged in jail in default of INNOVATION [W BOSTON, Boston, Mass., Deo. 16, 1874. ‘The new civil service rules for the Boston Cus: tom House were put into opegation te-dage KING KALAKAUVA. ant His Majesty Visited by the Pre: and Gabfiiet Ministers—General Sher= man Present, WaAstlinaTon, Dec. 16, 1874, The President and Cabinet Ministers returned the visit of King Kalakaua to-day, General Sherman, who arrived here this morn- ing, accompanied the party ang spent some time in conversation with the King.

The Revival of ‘Man and Wife” at the Fifth Av Theatre. Mr. Daly’s version of the drama of “Man and Wife,” based on Wilkie Collins’ romance, was played at the Fifth Avenue Theatre last night for the first time this season. Both the play and the cast have always been favorites with tne Fiftn Avenue audiences, ana the performance last night was as fresh ang vigorous as when the Piece was frst produced three years ago. Mr, Harkins, ag Geoffrey Delamayn, has a part excep- tionally fitted to him, and he invests it with a physical robustness and persistent selfishness which give it completeness and force. It ig the {deal of the novelist, quickened by the vitality of the actor, and it must be regarded Ur. Har- king’ best part. Miss Annte Granam assumed the role of Anne Sylvester for the first time, and Played it a8 well as it has yet been played in this clty—as well, indeed, as it was played by Miss Ada Dyas last year. Miss Fanny Davenport showed all her old time vivacity in her familar part of Blanche. She nas one or two more distinguished rdes, but vone in which she makes so much of her opportunities, | A8 Blanche Lundie she llits a minor part in the drama into a prominence that is not even second- ary tothe painiul interest in the heroine. ‘To- gether with Mr. Lewis, whose Sir Patrick is so generally appreciated as to require no comment, she is the light and cheerfulness of the drama. Mr, George Parkes Nad the part of Arnold Brink- worth, and gave it a different, but more trutniul Interpretation, than either of his predecessors, It had all the biuat earnestness and sincere man- ltness which the novelist gave to the creation, and Lbese Compensated for the slight delects o! one or two of his earher scenes. The interview with sir Patrick, in the second, was admirably done, which is saying @ great deal in view of tue fact that it is as difficult a piece of light comedy | acting as any in the whole line of the drama. Mr. Davidge as Bishopriggs played it as he so often played it before, maxing it 8v complete in detail that it bad nothing of the actor’s identity, bul was simply the cunning and craity Scotch servant, The minor pars were fairly represented, and the whole play was so forcibly and consistently done as to merit all the enco- mums that were bestowed upon it in the past. The piece will be repeated this evening, to be followed yy “London Assurance” on Friday evening, and Goldsmitn’s masterpiece on Saturday in the alternoon and at night. It is noteworthy that im pursuing: his policy of revivals of. | | ae old plays it. Daly nas engaged Mr. » Le Da gupart fo play, nis great part of Sir Giles Overicach ii “A New Way to Pay Old Debts,” and this distinguished artist will ap- pear next Monday evening. It is bow some years since Mr. Davenport has appeared in New York supported by a thoroughly efficient cast, and the romise which the Filth Avenue company affords | 1D this respect is an event of unusual artistic sig- nificance. Musical and Dramatic Notes. Mrs. Lander is playing at Somerville, Ky. Clara Morris is at the Cleveland Academy. They are playing “School” at Hooley’s, Chicago. Owens opens in New Orleans atthe Varieties Theatre ns Caleb Plummer. Some critics maintain that with time Little Nell ‘will become a clever actress. We admire faith. Katie Putnam has awaked the enthusiasm ot the people of Memphia as Marie in the ‘Pearl of | Savoy.!? Lawrence Barrett’s performance of King Lear 1s said to fall short of the exceilence of hia Shy- Jock or Richelieu. John Brongham was not so successful at Chicago this year as in jormer yeara, The new city has forgotten its old friend. The Hippodrome continues to be a source of de- | light to the young Gothamites. They think the Celestials have really passed the great wall. King Kalakaua’s reception in Booth’s Theatre will be marked by the performance of thé national hymn of the Sandwich Islands by Connolly’s or- | chestra, E.L, Davenport's engagement at Ford's Opera Houge, Baltimore, proved entirely successiul. He ‘was supported by Mrs. Davenport and Minnic Conway. Miss Neilson is among the Kentuckians, and has produced @ very favorable effect. One of the | critics compares her to Fanny Kemble, who it is to be supposed he kuew. The panorama of old Paris, with its mecanical aa- junct of a moving oriage, are the great features of “The Hero of the Hour” at Booth’s Theatre, the latter effect being very novel. Lotta, in a fit of generosity, reduced the interest on mortgages held by her on Western property | from ten to seven per cent, This act will no doubt | increase her popularity out West. ‘The French Association of Dramatic Artists is ‘worth 8,722,216 francs.

He was an intimate friend of the father of Charles O’Conor and one of the firat to predict the success of the latter in jurisprudence, Mr. Bogert never achieved any eminence at the bar, but has been always known for consctentious fidelity to bis oath as attorney and counselior and for his well- balanced judgments in real estate law. For many years he was a great favorite with lawyers as administrator of oaths and taker of deed acknowledgments, and has probably during the fiity years he continuously heia this smali but yet important office supervised more commisstoner of deeds and notary public business than all the rest of his compeers together, He was algo known for bis courtesy, urbanity and amiability.
