Aaron Moore has been interview!at Jackson by the editor of the Pilot,and we publish bis statement, thislDorniuir, entire. He haa certainlyflavored it to -- uit the taste ot Kadi- -
u- -, and, as it stands, it forms a sweetlii trsei to roll under their tongues.In reading it, the first thing thatstrUcesw is Aaron's Umb like inno- -
l.ri!ir on a collision with the whites.He pretends to be merely "passingthe when he "heardaonie persona apparently speaking.''' I his - truly refreshing, in view of thefact that it "waa known here, severaldays previous to the meeting, that thenegroes expected him to addreastheui, that the court room was securedfor the purpose, and that the largecrowd of country darkies present onthe occasion, were attracted to the
ity by the announcement of hid com- ¬
ing." ZK BRANi HEEK."
jie certainly has more "cheek"t haa we him credit for. and must
inn so notorious, and innocence ofuartk-- i nation in proceedings whichhail been "cut and dried," and inv huh, as a rigid investigation willail w, he was expected by his deludedfollowers to take an active, if not aleading part. He did perform verywell, so far as words go. He euulddenounce white people, abuse thecounty officers, and warn Meridian ofthe fate of Sodom and Gomorrah, butwhen the storm was raging which hehad helped to raise, where was Aaron'.'At home while the town was inil ones. In bed while one of his con- ¬
federate was endeavoring to organizej. negro mob, and to his cowardice, itis more than probable, a schemetailed, which successfully carried out,would have deluged the city in blood.He was absent, because he knew whatwas about to happ:n, and anticipatedthe time when it would be necessaryto "know nothing, personally."

He declared be wouldkill tie tirst man who spoke to himabout leaving the city, and at leastfive or sis negroes can be found whowill testify as to bis statements of thedifficulty ihat he exftected would takepine (luring tbe trial. He declaredhe uould "kill and might be killed,"

Many who have not worked beforefor years are seexing the spade andplow; they will go at once be gladto get away, and thank God whenthey have shaken the dust of Meridianfrom their heels. We can spare a fewhundred ot them very well: indeed,we would try and get along if they allleft, and endeavor to subdue anyshower " failing sorrows." Wehope of those who go will abandonthe old paths of vice and peculation,and the counsel of such men as Win.St urges, Price, Olopton and Tyler.Shun politics and carpet-bagger- andinstead of carrying pistols and shot- ¬
guns, be warrior of the toil. In thisarmy you will find peace and plenty;under this banner will you prospetand be protected.
ALECK'S WIFE.The wife of Aleck Joseph, one the
worst negroes Meridian ever tolerated,and Billy Clopton's lieutenant, hasreached Jackson. She thinks her be-¬
loved Aleck is in the woods some- ¬
where and will soon join her. Thelast we saw of him on that ever-me- -
moriable Monday he was gettingaway from the courthouse as fast ashis "walking pins" would permit.His head touched the butt of some-body's gun as be bid farewell to theroom his infamous teachings hadtUM with innocent blood. Aleck
will sow the seed of discord whereverbe goes. Treachery and trouble livein bis eyes indeed be looks capableof every crime beneath the roof ofheaven.
ANOTHER HORROR.

London, March 10. Informationhas just reached here of a terrible ca- ¬
tastrophe which has occurred in theTyrol. "The Schlosburg," a Yesu- -vian mountain overlooking the mar- ¬
ket town of Hohenems, Tyrol, fell in,burning two principal streets of thetown and burying over nine hundredpersons, also destroying tbe principalchurch.
Telegrams now being received re-port the wildest excitement through- ¬
out Transylvania in consequence ofthe dreadful disaster at Hohenems,by which over Tiine hundred personslost their lives, and the greater por-¬

EARTHQUAKE.
Tbe Sandwich Islands Shaken Up EffcUof the Convulsion lrjury to
Property.
From tbe New York HeraldHonoli'la, 8. L, March 2. At
seven minutes past ten o'clock on theevening of February l.sth, a very se-¬vere shock of earthquake was experi- ¬
enced at these islands. With fewexceptions the walls of all tbe stone oradobe buildings were injured. Thecottage buildings at i'unahoa aredamaged extensively. Many personsrushed into the streets from theirbeds.
Three distinct motions were feltfirst shaking horizontally, then per- -
sndicularly, and the finish was adistinct wave motion from tbe south- ¬
west. The violence of the shockhvsted twenty seconds, the whole fullya minute.
At I.ahaika much damage was doneto buildings. The Seminary build- ¬
ings suffered most, the walls beingshaken to pieces, though they did notfall.
At McKee's plantation a train ofsugar kettles was badly injured.
ither localities did not sutler much.At Molokai, nearly all the stone
walls were leveled, and the frame ofa building thrown down. The roadto the Leper Asylum was destroyed.
On Lanaia, the shock was verysevere. Clefts have been opened ondiflerent parts of the island, the val-ley being full of masses ot earths androcks, shaken from the mouulaintop- -.
On Hawaii but little damage wasdone. The Hilo and Kan districtsreceived a slight shaking. The volca- ¬
no is very active, but was evidentlyinnocent of participation in the earth- ¬
quake. Parties on two different islandsstate that a bright light was visible inthe eastern sky. (.'bunnies on sugarplantations suflered little. Severalslock - have been experienced since,but they were not severe.
The l.ifstr Suestion will soon lie set- ¬
tled. Two companiesof Chinese havelanded here, seeking work one lromChina and one from Tahiti.

DOVHbni OF OPINION IN THEJOINT HIUH COMMISSION.
Washington, March Jti. Sessionsof tbe Joint High Commission areheld daily. Fears are prevailing insome quartern that tne recent discus- ¬
sion has developed diflereuces of opin- ¬
ion which may prevent a peacefulsettlement. In reply to a question,yesterday, one of the American Com-¬
missioners said, in a significant man- ¬
ner, if the commission was able toreach satisfactory conclusions at all, itwould terminate its labors by themiddle of April. It is believed thattiie difficulty lies in the inability ofthe English Commissioners to meetthe preliminary requirements for ne- ¬
gotiations stated by the AmericanCommissioners as to the Alabamaliabilities.

OPPOSITION TO ANNEXATION.Port-au-Princ- e, Hayti, March

brera strength consists almost whollyin his Haytien supporters. The ques- ¬
tions of debt and disputed boundaryare tbe most important raised sincethe last dispatches. Mr. Howe hadarranged for a pretty thorough ex- ¬
ploration of this section of Hayti, butMr. Wade insisted that there was noauthority for it and it should not bedone. The second day after theirarrival here, Messrs. Wade and Howecalled upon the President and Cabinetof Hsyti. After the interchange ofcourtesies, an informal conversationoccurred; when Mr. Wade said hegreatly regretted not being able tospeak their language, because hethoUL'tit he could say a great aeai toallay the present feeling toward theL nited States, by showing wnere me
misunderstood the UnitedStates. President flaget earnestlyreuliid that the educated class inHayti fully understood and appreci- ¬
ated the condition ol tne unitedStates, but that a large class only re- ¬
membered the slavery which existedthere, and they had themselves beenslaves and it was impossible to influ- ¬
ence them. The President is not ex- ¬
pected to visit the Commissioners, onaccount of the general and popularfeeling against their presence. Wadeis anxious not to complicate mattersby arming Cabral here, wishing toavoid all appearances, while in Hayti,ot prosecuting investigations lookingto annexation.

MEMPHIS, TENlsT., FEIBAY. MARCH 17, 1871.
CONGRESSIONAL.
Washington. March 16. Borne.Mr. Kelly rose to a personal explana- ¬
tion and denial of the charge made inthe circular issued by Mr. Butler, ofMassachusetts, that tne nign tannRepresentatives combined with theDemocrats to pass Air. reiers resolu- ¬
tion yesterday, and then asked to beexcused from serving on me committee annointed under the resolution.
Mr. Butler replied that he did notrefer to Mr. Kelly, and said tbat Mr.Peters' resolution was a trick to de- ¬
feat the caucus Ku-Kln- x bill.Mativ Republicans voted yea, feir
ing to compromise themselves byvoting nay.
Peters defended his resolution.Dawes said nobody seemed to trou
ble themselves about it but Butler.Sneaker Blaine took the floor, Mr
Wheeler in the chair, and proceededto say that he showed the resolutionto Butler, of Massachusetts, in his(Blaine's) handwriting, and added,at Butler's suggestion, the words"and the expenses of this committeeshall be paid from the contingentfund of the House of Representa- ¬
tives" applause a fact that waysand means were wanted to pay theexpenses was the only objection bemade to it.
Butler Was not my answer that,under no circumstances would I haveanything to do with It, being boundby action of caucus r
Blaine No, sir; your answer was,tbat under no circumstances wouldvou serve as chairman.
Mr. Blaine proceeded to say that heappointed Butler chairman, becausehe knew very well if he omitted theappointment, the gentlman would oeheralded throughout the length andbreadth of the country by clacqnerswho have so industriously distributedf,bis letter this morning, that thespeaker had packed;tbe committee, asa gentleman said he would, with weak- -
kneed Republicans, who would notgo into an investigation as vigorouslyas he would. That was the reasonbe made the appointment. Ap-plause. So the chair had laid the re-¬
sponsibility upon gentlemen decliningtbe appoiutment.
Butler I know that was a trick ofthe chair.
Mr. Blaine Ah, trick! I know newwhat the gentleman meant by theword "trick." I am very glad toknow the trick was successful. It isthis trick which places the gentlemanfrom Massachusetts ou his resposibilitybefore the country, rne gentlemanfrom Massachusetts says in his letter:"Having been appointed, against mywishes, expressed both publicly anclprivately, by the Speaker as chairmanof the committee to investigatethe state of affairs in theSouth, ordered to-da- y by Dem- ¬
ocratic votes, against the mostearnest protest of more than two- -
thirds of the majority of the Republi- ¬
can members of the House. lhisstatement is so bold and groundless, Ido not know what reply to make. Itis made in tbe face of the lact thatfifty-eigh- t Republicans voted tor theresolution, aud forty-nin- besides thegentleman from Massachusetts, againstit If there is any one of the lifty- -
eight gentlemen who voted for tberesolution under coercion, 1 would likefor the gentleman from Massachusettsto designate him.
Mr. Butler I am not here to detailprivate conversation.
Mr. Blaine Ah! no; but you willdistribute throughout the country un- ¬
founded calumnies purporting to restupon assertions made in private con- ¬
versations, which, when called for,can't be verified.
Mr. Butler Pardon me, sir; I saidthere was a caucus.
Mr. Blaine I hopeGod will pardonyou; but you ought not to ask me todo it. Laughter.
Butler I will ask God, ancl notyou.
Blaine l am glad that tne gentle- ¬
man will.Butler I have no favors to ask of
the devil. Tbe caucus agreed on amore definite mode of action afterstanding. The chairman of the cau-cus declared officially that it was notbinding.
Mr. Blaine proceeded to talk abouttricks. Why, the very infamy of hispolitical trickery never compassed adesign so foolish and so wicked as tobring together a caucus, and attemptto pledge tbem to support measureswhich might violate not only the po- ¬
litical principles, but the religiousfaiths, of tbe men who support thebill drawn by the gentleman fromMassachusetts (Butler) which mightviolate the conscientious scruples ofmen; and yet forsooth he comes inhere and declares that whatever thecaucus may determine, or howeverhastily, you must support it wrong-fully. Why even in the worst daysof Democracy, when the gentlemanhimself was in the front ranks of theworse wing, was it ever attemptedto say that the majority party of acaucus could bind men upon meas- ¬
ures that involved questions of Con- ¬
stitutional law, personal honor andreligious scruples?"
In reply to Mr. Butler's reference tothe election of the Speaker, Mr. Blainesaid: If tho minority did not voteagainst the decision of the caucus thatnominated mo for Speaker, in myjudgment, it was not the tault of thegentleman lrom Massachusetts. Ap--olause. It the requisite number couldhave been found to have gone over totbe despised Nazarineson the oppositeside, tbat gentleman would have ledthem as he did the forces in theCharleston Convention. Renewedapplause and laughter. I despiseand denounce the insolence oftbe gentleman from Massachusettswhen he attempts to say thattbe Republican from the Thirddistrict of tbe State of Maine has noright to frame a resolution, underrules, and ask the Judgment of theHouse on that resolution. Why, eventbe insolence of tbat gentleman, him- ¬
self, never reached tbat sublime highttietore. Applause.
On Butler's repeating the word" trick," Mr. Blaine said that thereare certain repetitions which do notamount to slander, and the gentlemanmay repeat everything in that con- ¬
nection, as his colleague, Mr. Dawes,very well says, "except tiuth."
Referring to Butler's statement thattbe resolution was framed in the in- ¬
terest of the Democratic party, sothat a report could not be made Torone year in face of the Democratic op- ¬
position, Mr. Blame said: "It hasfallen under my observation that thegentleman is very ignorant of tberules of this tiousp," and proceededto show tbat the report of the Com- ¬
mittee would be in order at any timeduring the month of December if tbeCommittee choose to make a re-¬
port. If the power to reportat any time has been giventhe gentleman might have construedit, as he has construed it for nearlytwo years on tbe Reconstruction Com- -
imttee, to be power to report at notime.
Mr, Blaine concluded by regrettingthe necessity for his taking the floor,and said : But the circulation of Mr.Butler's letter was intended, covertly.as an insult to the Speaker. As such,I resent it, and denounce theletter in all its essential state- ¬ments and all IU misstutements,and in all its mean inferences andmeaner innuendoes. I denounce theletter as groundless snd without justi- ¬
fication, and the gentleman hlilbtrtf.1 trust, will live to see the lav whenhe will be ashamed of having writtenit
On Butler's referring to the Speakerleaving his chair, for the first timeduring the Fortieth and Forty-firs- tCongresses, Mr. Blaine retorted thata preoeding incumbent of the chair,Colfax, now Vice-Presiden- t, left thechair to chastise the Insolence of agentleman.
Butler, in the course of hisreply, said that he was carefulto draw up his letter, so as topurely sod consistently state naked
facts. The Speaker had shown him theresolution and sain nesnoum oneiiao- -
tnan of the committee. He replied,"I will be damned if I will. Oreatlaughter.! I will have nothing to.lo with it." I am sorry to bo obligedto use the word here, and apologizefor it, but when I am asked to betraymy associates, Witn wnom i nauacted in caucus, it seemed a very goodone to meet the exigency. Laughter.Me, believed the Sneaker suggested toMr. Cox, of New York, the point oforder against the caucus dui.
Cox That is not true.Mr. Butler replied that he did not
say it was true, but believed it at thetime, because he saw the Speakerconferring with a Democratic owner ofrich coal fields, as he was trying toget the Democrat? to support the resol nt ion.
Blaine I was in favor of the repealof the coal tariff, and the gentlemanwas not.
Butler I say again, for the waysthat are dark and tricks that are vain.I name the Speaker ; I rise to explain.LaugbbT.Mr. Butler proceeded to say that he
knew what was coming ana ne knewhe could do nothing against the reso-¬
lution. The Speaker bad contrived itand it was forced through by the in- ¬
fluence of the Speaker on tbe floor andm the chair, with the aid of Demo- ¬
cratic votes. He exercised his rightto address, in a public letter, in anewspaper and in a pamphlet, bisassociates in explanation of nisposition. He had replied to Mr.Kelly in temperate language.
Mr. Kelly I spoke not only for my- ¬
self but for tbe great body of protec- ¬
tionists in this House, who werewronged by the statement of tbe gen- ¬
tlemen as the vote will show.Mr. Butler Very well ; I only hope
that I have done those gentlemen nowrong because 1 thought if they want-ed to put before us coal andsalt and iron, instead of drawingoutfit h- iron that is entering intothe souls of our friends at the South,they were exceedingly wrong. Allthis abuse of me, and this gettingthus exceedingly wrathy by theSpeaker against me, does not harmand will not frighten anybody it willnot hurt anybody. Calling names willdo no harm to me here or in the coun- ¬
try. If 1 could be killed by beingcalled hard names, I should have diedlong ago. Laughter. I have with-stood rougher tongues than that onejust wagged against me. I have seenabuse with more ingenuity, but notmore malignity, launched at me, andI have survived ; and I will surviveafter the Speaker of the House hasfilled the Presidential chair,very long. He arraigned theSpeaker's ruling, which admittedignorance of parliamentary law, butsaid, "I thank God I know no moreabout it than I do; because I see bowit affects the man's mind who hasmade it a study; but 1 do think thatif the Speaker had been half as anx- ¬
ious for the passage ot this bill to pro-¬
tect people in the South, as he was forthe land grant measure passed fromthe Speaker's table last session, itwould have become a law ere this."
Mr. Blaine Will tbe gentlemanspecify what?
Mr. ilutier Oh! pretty much all otthem.
Blaine I do not think it worthwhile to say anything more than tbatit is simply and only a gratuitouscalumny. A number ot membersspoke briefly upon the resolution.
Mr. Mayuard would do his duty a.-- -
a member of the committee.Mr. Shallabarger asked to be ex- ¬
cused on account of ill health.Mr. Blair, of Michigan, chairman of
the Republican caucus, said tbe un-derstanding was that every gentle- ¬
man might support what was best forthe country, without considering him-self bound by the bill framed in tbecaucus.
Mr. Garfield objected to and criti- ¬
cised Butler's card.Kelly, Shellabarger, Burdett, Butler
and Corburn, were severally excusedfrom service on the committee.
Mr. Stevenson, a member of thocommitte, said he would stand by bisground.
