On Wednesday afternoon Alderman Good held John Fltzhenry on tho charge of shooting James Savage late on Tuesday night at Chesnut Bill. The weapon used was a shot gun and the contents took effect in the victim's neck and shoulders. At the hearing Aldsrman Thomas ap peared for tho prisoner and eaid that bo would not attempt to deny that Fitzucury had lired the shot. During the last two years Savage had repeat edly threatened the life of the prisoner. He had more than once assaulted him in his own dwelling. He had assailed bis house with stones, and the shot was fired in sclf-defouse. The noiec of the assault in the middle of the night aroused tho neighbors. This man Savage bad threatened to destroy tho prisoner's life, if he had to wait five years to accomplish it. If the wounded man should die, said the alderman, I feel assured that a jury would render a verdict of justifiable homicide. The alderman then proceeded to call witnesses to prove that various threats had been made against the life of the prisoner. At this stage of the proceeding Edward Savage, father of the wouuded man, begin be rating the prisoner, and threatened that he would shoot him. He was silenced by the alderman. Mrs. Fitzhenry testitlcd On Cbrlstmas night two years ago Savage wanted John to buy a coat; he bought ib, and they quarrelled about the bargain; I was not married then; this quarrel was ttie com mencement or tne troutue; savage repeatedly threatened John's life In my hearing: he fought him on one occasion, using a black- ark; Savage often came to the house lalloolnsr for the d to come out. that be would kill him; the 'quarrel was kept up untl' the present time; at midnight ou Tuesday the last assault was mace; savage mine an at tar, k on the house with stones, and John shot; I was afraid for my husband to leave the house at night; he threatened to lay in wait for John and shoot In in, If it took bim Ave years to do It. After more evidence to the earns effect, the prisoner was let off on $500 hail. CUBA. The Hornet JEpellilon WuceeNsfuI-Tlie Cargo uoc tlecuiaured. Information has been receive i in New York to the effect that the guns and munitions of war landed upon the coast of Cuba on the Cth, from tne steamer iiornet, aiu not lau into me ninas of the Spaniards, as previously reported from Havana, but were received Dy tne insurgents. Before the vessel sailed from Aspluwall Presi dent Ccspedes and the commander of the expe dition bad fixed the point ot dlsembarkatlou and the time within which it should be etlectcd. Cespedes' men were at a place not far distant from Punta Brava on the 5th instant. The steamer reached there at the lime agreed upon, and the whole cargo was landed by the night of the 7th. It Is true, as stated from Havana, that the nornet was sighted by a gunboat on tho 8th, when off the coast, but tho Spaniards did not find the place of disembarkation till the morn ing ot tne lUin. un that day tne uornet caa eaiely arrived at a good harbor within the terri tory of a neighboring republic, where she pro bably now lies. The Spaniards did capture a number of empty boxes from which the guns had been taken, and, perhaps, a cannon also, as that was planted on shore to pretect the party while engaged in the work of disembarkation, and could not well be moved luto the interior. What was done with the other cannon Is known, but it would be Improper to state the fact here. The news above described may be relied upon as authentic. THE COLORED CADET. Proposed Legislation by Coacreaa to Prevent Ibe Persecution oi Cadet Mmim K Irons Tell mtiT i'oncernlns 111 Ueod Behavior and I.uerarv Capacity. The following is the letter from Mr. Clark re ferred to in the proceedings of th-j Senate yes terday: Haktford, Jan. 14. Hon. Mr. Porter My Dear Sir: I notice your proposal in the House of Representatives to investigate the treatment of Cadet Smith, for which I thank you with all my heart. I desire to give you a few facts about Cadet Smith. Boon after the close of the war, I tent a teacher to Columbia, S. C. In January, 1867, 1 visited her school. My attention was called to the boy Smith, then fifteen years old. My teacher said that he was a remarkable scholar, and possessed an ex cellent character. The boy was most anxious for an education, and wished me to take him North and educate him. The appeal was so earnest that 1 decided to do so. lie entered our district school, containing 1100 pupils, la the seeond flats. In three weeks he entered the first class, and at the close of the term he was the best scholar in the first class, and received a recommendation from the principal to enter the High School, which he did in the fall. At the close of the term he was the first in his class. The second Year he entered the third class, and came out "No. 1." besides studying German with a professor In Irinity College The llird year he took both second and first clastes, and, although he did double work, came out w ith the best, and whs aslgned a most Important part In the exercises of graduation. The principal of the High School says that he is the best scholar he ever saw. The sons and daughters of our first families are educated at this school. Smith was a member of my household, and was the most truthful and correct boy in all his habits and deportment that I ever saw. What bnll-plnyirig, skating, and other amusements are to others, books and study were to him. He sat at the tab'c with my groom and gardener, both Americans, and Intelligent men. His gjod deportment and gentlemanly bearing com mended bim to every one here, both in school ar.d church. On the'lft day of May I sent him to the Howard University, intending to educate Mm there. During tho month Judge Iloge, l!epresentatlve of the Third Congressional dis trict of South Carolina, gave him au appoint ment to West Point. He desired to get General Howard's approval of the plan. I differed, but yielded. Be weut, and Cod only knows how much he has suffered from the clay ho trcd that ground until this last court-martial. I have been there three times to look alter him. He would have left in July hud It not been for me. I had an interview with President Grant when here, on the 2J and lid of July last. He said, "Don't take him away; the battle might as well he fought now as at any time." So he was permitted to stay. Scarcely a day has passed when he has not been assaulted by words, or blows inflicted, to force him to do something for which they might expel him. I beg you to continue your efforts iu behalf of this persecuted young man. SABINE VS. IIOUUIITON. The llolllrtnv Street Thrntrc nnrf ih "little hurcli Around (lie Corner."
