Since the President has issued his
order the Milwaukee News fears that
there will be no Republican Conven-
tion in that State this year. The office
holders being barred out, it is doubtful
if enough Republicans can be found
willing to serve as delegates.
Ex Gov, Wki-ls, o£ Louisiana Re-
turning Board notoriety, sinr-e his in
dictmeut by the grand jury of New Or
leans, has written a letter to the Presi-
dent, urging him to use whatever power
or influence he may possess in stopping
further proceedin
ing Board.
Am Alleged Coalition.
Th-> vicissitudes of politics seldom
produce a more indecent bedfellowship
than is implied in the alleged coalition
of Tilden Democrats and Blaine Re-
publicans to wrest power from the
Hayes administration, inaugurate, if
possible, a provisional President, and
divide between them the spoils
of capture. We can scarcely
credit that there is any foun-
datiou for the story that the
prosecution of Wells and Ander-
son for the infamies of the Louisi-
ana Returning Board has been com-
menced and carried on with a gcod
understanding, tacit or express, be-
tween Republican politicians, who
were the indirect authors of
those infamies, and Democratic
politicians who supportad with the
most conspicuous zeal the cause
against which they were aimed
Whatever discredit might have attached
to Hayes, had he acceptel the presiden-
cy as the gift of revolutionary violence
enforcing a title built on fraud and per-
jury, it is certain that, having become
President under the forms oi' law, and
by a plan of adjudication suggest-
by his Democratic opponents,
stands forth as a pub
man immeasurably more wor
of confidence and esteem fhan
the Republican leaders who conspired
to count him in without law or right,
and who now assail and plot against
him because he dares to serve his
country according to Lis pledges and
convictions instead of serving^them as
their unscrupulous and infamous tool
The Democratic party -will be se
riously compromised if any of
its trusted leaders arc found to be
acting in virtual alliance with these
Republican enemies of the Presidont.
A deliberate and voluntary bargain with
the infamy which these men embody in
politics would be essentially infamous.
We have no fear that the Southern De-
mocracy in general and its representa
tive men will participate in anything
that may savor of such a coalition.
In the spirit of enlightened ccnserva
tistn, they are opposed to ripping up
the presidential settlement or making
factious opposition, because they find
the President strenuously maintaining
principles which they have advocated,
and trying to carry out a policy of
amelioration in politics and of reform
in the civil service that is calculated to
redound to the prosperity and glory of
the whole country. The people at large
are with the President in these efforts.
The Question of Water Supply.
The News, since the late fire, has re-
ceived innumerable schemes and sug-
gestions for insuring an unfailing sup-
ply of water for use of the Fire Depart-
ment and for sanitary purposes, but so
far no plan has been suggested the
merits of which were not discussed
several years ago in the columns of
this paper. In fact, the most reason
able proposal that has been submitted,
to convert the alleyways into cisterns,
was first suggested by the News, re-
ceived the approval of several capable
engineers, and was urged for adoption on
the City Council, but like many other
matters of almost equal importance,
was permitted to go by default un-
til the necessity for having a
constant supply to draw against
was made manifest by the dis
astrous fire of June last. The
Board of Aldermen does not ap-
pear disposed to officially consider any
specific plan or proposition at present,
and will not probably until the collec-
tion of taxes and retirement of bonds
have secured a margin to work on.
There is one way, however, by which
the present condition may be greatly
relieved. The annual rainfall in Gal-
veston isiand approximates to five feet,
which if but partially saved, would
furnish an abundance for all domestic
purposes and leave a very large quanti-
ty for other uses. The rainfall fur-
nishes a little less than thirty gallons of
water, annually, to each square foot of
surface. If it were made obligatory on
citizens, when they build, to furnish
cisterns equal to the storage of thirty-
three per cent. of the water
from the clouds, all ground for
apprehending a water famine would
be removed, and in most localities
sufficient water would remain for use
of the Fire Department. To make
regulations with regard to water the
Council is vested by the charter with
specific powers.
Section 'J3, of Powers and Duties of
the Council, says: "To provide the
city with water, to make, regulate and
establish public wells, pumps and cis-
terns, hydrants and reservoirs, in the
streets or elsewhere within said city,
or beyond the limits thereof, for the
extinguishment of fires and the con-
venience of the inhabitants, and to
prevent the unnecessary waste of
water."
Many of the plans urged by corre-
spondents for insuring a supply of
water are based on the assumption
that tides rise sufficiently high in the
bay to flush sewers and gutters. The
average tide is bu^ fourteen inches, and
in the judgment of the most distin-
guished engineers that have examined
the situation of Galveston, no plan
ean be arranged for thorough cleansing
of the streets by salt water, that does
not contemplate the use of mechanical
means.

PIN1SHING THE RAIDERS.
Crowing tbe Rio Orande— A Band
cf Raldcra Soundly I'unlslied on
Mexican Soil.
LSpecial Telegram to the News.?
San Antonio, July 9, 1877.
Oa the 25th of June Lieut. Bullis,
while on a scout, discovered the trail
of a gang of Indians. He gave pursuit,
crossed the Rio Grande the same date
followed the trail three days, caught
up with them, gave battle, drove them
into the mountains, and secured the en
tire herd of horses which had been
stolen in Texas. Nine horses were
killed in the fight.
This is not the first time that Lieut,
Bullis has successfully engaged the
depredators cf Texas soil. He is won
derfullv successful in his scouts.
The next time our troops follow such
a party of thieves as are mentioned in
to days dis-patches, they will probably
bring back something besides a few
horses. They will bring back some of
the Indians who commit depredations
upon our territory at the instance and
for the benefit of the organizers of such
cattle expeditions.
It is considered likely the Diaz gov-
ernment will protest against the entry
of United States troops into Mexican
territory, but there is not the least pro-
bility that Gen. Ord's present instruc-
tions will be modified.
The position heretofore assumed by
Mexico, that our government has no
right to send troops across the river in
pursuit of marauders whose operations
Mexico herself his failed to prevent or
punish, seems not to be very highly re-
garded at the State Department on the
general principles of lex talionis.
Those entries of United States troops
into Mexico are invariably preceded by
forcible entrance into the United States.
The right to pursue and forcibly re-
capture one's own property from a
robber is universally recognized.
Official Report lrom Gen. Ord to
Headquarter*! at Washington —
Details ol Lieut. Hullis'x Exploit.
Washington, July !).—The follow-
ing important, telegram was received
here yesterday, and copies were fur-
nished to the President and Secretary
of State:
San Ant mio, July 7.—To Townsend,
Adjutant General, Washington: The
following is just received. It accords
with my reply to Trevino's letter, tele-
graphed to headquarters yesterday. I
telegraph Shafter theie Is no necessity
of following the trail of the Indians to
where already punished by Bullis, but
to look closely for that made by the
party that raided on the Nueces.
Ord, Brigadier General.
Fort Clark, Texan, July 7.—General
Ord, San Antonio: I had all ready to
cross to morrow in support of Bullis
and Hurt. This morning at 2 o'clock
Bullis came in alone, having ridden
one hundred and forty miles in thirty-
six hours.
Bullis, in coming down from Fort
Davis, struck the trail cf the Indians
from Gillespie county half way between
the Pecos and Rio Grande, just before
night of the 2(Jth of June, and only
three or four hours behind them. He
followed to the Rio Grande and crossed
the river, drowning two of his horses,
and on the third day came on them
while they were resting.
He attacked them at once. The In-
dians retreated to a mountain lighting.
After an engagement of one hour they
all managed to escape. None of the
men were wounded. Bullis got all of
the horses but two.
The fifty horses reported to General
Plitz as passing Point Rock SpriDg, are
all accounted for. Eight were left on
their trail and six were killed while the
rangers were on the trail, and nine while
Bullis was on ihe trail. Two were taken
away by an Indian, and twenty-three
captured by Bullis.
I also found at the camp parts of the
harness taken from Johnson's, on the
Nueces, showing that some of the band
had scattered after that affiir and got
with the party raiding in Gillespie
county.
Bullis reported the Indians asLipans,
and he saw no signs to indicate that
they were near their village. This is
likely near some of the towns;
1 have ordered companies to stop as
they are until your orders are received.
The trail followed by Bullis is the only
plain trail that we know has lately
been crossed; and as the Indians who
made it have been caught, I will not
go on without rurther orders, as Lieut.
Bullis reports it impossible to follow
the trail where he struck them, and
scouting on the other side would have
to be for the Indian camp or anything
that might turn out. Sir after,
Lieutenant Colonel.
Hayes fJratilied at the First Fruits
ot tlie New Mexican Policy.
Washington, July 9.—The President
i.nd others in high official station ex-
press themselves gratified by the intel-
ligence received through the War De-
partment of the crossing of the Rio
Grande by United States troops in pur-
suit of deprecating Indians, and of the
reported success of the United States
troops in recovering property and pun-
ishing marauders.
Oae of the gentleman referred to,
who occupies a very prominent posi-
tion in the civil service, remarked to-
day that the order of the cabinet in di-
recting that Mexican marauders should
be followed across the frontier, was
taken after the most mature delibera-
tion as to its results, but was based
upon the unanimous conviction of the
cabinet that, in no other way could our
border be tileclually protected.
THE OREGON VOTE.
iaOrpjon Democrat Who Repud-
iates the Action of tirover.
Portland, July 9.—In connection
with the investigation against Senator
Grover now progressing by the Sena-
torial Committee in Oregon, the follow-
ing has point:
Si. II. W. Stiles, the witness who
testified so pointedly against Grover on
Saturday, publishes this morning a long
statement in the Orcgonian, in which
he says he has divulged these things
because he as a Democrat repudiates
the action of Grover in trying to cheat
the Republican party out of the elec-
toral vote of Oregon.
He says the Denjucratic parly does
not and can not approve such a desper-
ate expedient, and will repudiate the
man responsible for it.
Mr. Stiles made an affidavit to the
same statement respecting Grover that
he has now made under oath before the
investigating committee, and claims,
therefore, thai, ho has done all he could
from the first to show up this affair to
the country.
Affairs In France.
Paris, July 9.—1m Republique Fran-
cai e intends to prosecute the editor of
the official Bulletin dcx Communes for
libeling the litpublique Fraiir.ai.te and
M. Gambetta. The Journal, den DebaU
intends to bring an action against the
government for violation of the. rights
of the prefs.
Parts, July r>—Le Tempi says the
Council of Ministers has determined
upon its selection of official candidates
for all constituencies except twenty
five. 11 is reported a manifesto of the
Count de Chambord will appear shortly.
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Onr Mexican Relation*—Operations
of the Annexation Lobby—Their
Scheme Hopeless.
Washington, Ju'y 8.—A large lobby
composed of filibusters, holders of bor
der depredation claims, moving specu
lators ahd adventurers generally from
various parts of the Union, is still at
work here endeavoring to manufacture
sentiment in favor of annexation
schemes and to commit the gov
ernment to some warlike policy
which shall demand of Mexico
indemnity for the past and secu
rity for the future. They make
no perceptible progress, but continue
their efforts, in the hope that some con-
flict may occur between Trevino and
Ord, near the Rio Grande, and that
war may be thus precipitated between
the United States and the Diaz govern-
ment, in which case the filibusters
joining with Lerdo might have a chance
to obtain and hold possession of the
northern States, with a view to ulti-
mate annexation to this country.
This scheme, however, has slight
prospect of success, as it is based on
the highly probable assumption that
the Diaz government will court its
own overthrow. Well informed ob
servers consider it more likely that
Diaz will take good care to promote
his chances for his recognition by the
United States by causing Trevino to
co-operate with Ord in suppressing out-
rages and to keep out of the way should
Ord deem it necessary to cross the Rio
Grande.
Notes and Gossip—rivil Service Re-
form, Etc.
Postmaster General Key has written
certain postmasters, who" are members
of State executive committees, whose
places can not be filled, and without
whose action State conventions can not
formally be called, that he is of opinion
that to merely provide for the meeting
of a convention and to call itfo order,
without attempting to control its or-
ganization for future action, would not
be inconsistent with the spirit or pur-
pose of the President's instructions.
Lieut. Col. E. B. Swipe, asistant

Gens. Sherman and Sheridan will

Judge Bradley, of the Supreme Courr,
is here to hear an application from
Dutch bondholders to restrain the issu-
ance of bonds on toe Florida Central
Railroad. Stewart, Littlefield & Bayne
are among the defendants. It is said
they have issued and divided the bonds
and that an agent will be sent to Eu-
rope to negotiate them.
The Republican interviewed ex-Mar-
shal Pitkin, of Louisiana:
Pitkin—Well, neither Packard nor
myself is bent upon any deep-seated re-
venge, but as far as we can afford the
Republican party legitimate redress we
will not hesitate to do it.
Reporter—Is it true that you two
gents have brought about the indict-
ment against members of the Returning
Board ?
Pitkin—It is an atrocious falsehood.
We have had nothing whatever to do
with it. The grand jury is composed
of Democrats, and Judge Whitaker is a
violent Democrat. I am satisfied that
the whole movement was instigated
from New York in the Tilden interest.
Moreover, I am led to believe that the
original returns of the late election are
to be promulgated in favor of Tilden
and Nicholls.
General Osborn, Minister to Chili,
sails to-morrow. Gen. Cohly, Minister
to the Sandwich Islands, sails from San
Francisco in the August steamer.
Dr. Godding accepts the superinten-
dency of the Insane Asylum, vice

There are strong indications that
Georgia will have a Democratic Mar-

the probable man.
F. A. Pratt was commissioned Col-
lee'or of Customs at Newport, R. I.
It is thought the cabinet will make

ments to-morrow.
Comment on Louisiana judicial mat-

the cabinet will take no official notice
of them.

main will now be treated by friendly
conference and discussion.
There are indications, for which pub-
licity can not be claimed, that the
President has returned to his original
intention of conciliating the entire
South. He was bargained into putting
Louisiana and South Carolina on their
feet, but Iowa and Woodstock have
shown him that more extensive concili-
ation than was nominated in the bond
is necessary to carry through four
years' administration with comfort and
honor. It is hoped Nicholls will pardon
Wells, Anderson, Casanave and
(upon my word I forgot his name) of

that the united South, so terrible to
Mr. Blame, may be brought to support
the administration in the House aid in

THE INDIAN WAR IN IDAHO.
Further of Whipple's Victory Over
Luoking.Glass-General Howard
strikes a Honanza of Indian Ef-
fects.
San Francisco, July 8.—A dispatch
from Portland contains further details
of the fight reported between Colonel
Whipple's command and party of vol-
unteers from Mount Idaho and Look-
ng-Glass, sub chief of the hostiles.
"Whipple took an advantageous position
and summoned the Indians, some 400
in number, to surrender. They refused
and ran for their horses. The soldiers
aud citizens charged, firing volley after
volley into the savages, killing seven-
teen. The remainder succeeded in
reaching their horses and escaped.
On the 2d Gen. Howard moved his
camp from Salmon river to the table-
land on the trail near Canal landing,
on Snake river. There 16 important
caches were discovered, containing a
large amount of new clothing, cigars,
flour, Indian trinkets, etc.; a large band
of Indian horses and some excellent
beef also captured. This will be a se-
rious loss to the Indians, and has en-
couraged the troops. The troops are
now pursuing Joseph's supposed
track with all possible speed, and are
driving him towards the trap prepared
for his reception, as every exit from
the mountains is well guarded.
Portland, Oregon, July 9.—A dis-
patch from Lewiston, Gth, via Walla
Walla, to day, says a courier just from
Col. Perry, en route for Gen. Howard
with a pack train and escort of thirty
men, says that it was attacked on the
4th and ten soldiers and two citizens
killed. Capt. Whipple, in command at
Cotton Wood, came to the rescue and
repulsed the Indians. The Indians are
in force around Col. Perry and Capt.
Whipple, who have only force enough
for defense of the route to Cotton
Wood. It is a bold stroke of Joseph
and his band, and it is reported to be a
signal to the Indians north and east,
and will stir them up to the offensive.
Parties just from the Spokone coun-
try report that all settlers except five
men between Spokone lower bridge and
Pelouse landing have left their homes
and fled to Walla Walla. The Indians
have destroyed some fields and gardens.
Grant in Belgium.
Bki skf.ls, July 7.—The King is vis

the Italian government.
THE RUSSO-TURKISH WAR.
'feneral War Neivs—The Latent Re-
ports from the Fields or Con W let—
faist bllaneotia Military ana Polit-
ical Notes.
London, July 9 —The Simnitza cor-
respondent of the Daily News says it is
understood that the Czjr has resolved
finally to cross the Danube and see as
much of the war as possible. The
Czarowich will be appointed to the
chief command of the army designated
for the seige of Rustchuk.
A Daily Netcs dispatch, dated Er/.e-
roum, Sunday, says the Russians are
advancing into the Oet valley. It. is
feared this movement is in consequence
of their withdrawal from other points.
The Turks are moving troops to resist.
A News Vienna dispatch states that
20,000 newly arrived Russian troops
are now on the march from Jassy to
Galatz.
The Times correspondent at Bucha-
rest says the Russians assert that the
affair at Bjela was simply a feint. This
is probably true, but the feint became
more serious than intended. Pro-
bably the Russian force making
the demonstration on Bjela
came among the Turks in
force stronger than they expected and
suffered severely in consequence. Sev-
eral hundred wounded have reached
Bucharest from this engagement. Two
Russian corps are moving into Rouma
nia to form a reserve. Abdul Kerim
is said to be fortifying the line from
Shumla to Jambah to defend Adri-
anople.
The Manchester Guardian's special
from Simnitza, Saturday, reports that
the Turks evacuated Bjela on the fol
lowing morning after the battle. They
fell back on the line of Rustchuk. A
b ittle is imminent near Turnouj.
The Times Berlin correspondent tele-
graphs that the Austrian government
lias reopened the harbor of Kleke to
Turkish provisioning columns.
London, July 9.—A special from
Constantinople, by way of Scia, to the
Times, says the Sultan recently, at a
private audience, declared to Mr. Lay-
ard, the British representative, that he
would not guarantee protection to
Christians if the Russians continue to
excite rebellion in Bulgaria, and perpe-
trate atrocities in Asia Minor.
London, July 9.—IJeuter's telegram
from St. Petersburg says the following
dispatch is from the Czarowich, dated
yesterday:
A body of cavalry, with one battery,
surprised Turnova on Saturday and
captured a Turkisk camp, with ammu-
nition, baggage and artillery, and are
approaching Turnova.
The Tunes Bucharet correspondent,
4th of July, says: Indications are ob-
servable that Russia's efforts to dis-
suade Roumania from taking active
part in the campaign are merely de
signed to allay Austrian apprehensions.
The correspondent thinks it possible
that the advance5 guard of tbe Rou-
manians may cross at Simmitza and
work up the southern bank of the Dan-
ube ijntil they secure a crossing place,
where they cm be joined by the main
body.
The Bremer Wes'er Ziilung, which is
not unfriendly to Russia, says: On the
eve of the war it was discovered that
only 30 per cent, of the Russian navy
was seaworthy.
Reinforcements for the Caucasian
army are much delayed, because only
five out of ten steaniersof the Cispian
flotilla are in serviceable condition.
ICragr.ravetza, July 9 —The reply
of the Skuptschina to Prince Milanrs
speech is of a guarded and pacific
tone.
Erzeroum, July 9.—Turkish official
news says the Russians have forty bat-
talions on the north side of Kirs. The
bulk of their army and heavy artillery
has withdrawn in the direction of Alex-
andropol. The line between Moukhtar
Pasha's headquarters and Kars is com-
pletely free from the Russians. A Rus-
sian column has been defeated in an
attempt to enter Ardanutch and driven
back on Ardahan, where a great con-
centration of Russian troops is pro-
ceeding. Three battalions have been
dispatched from Delibaba to reinforce
Moukhtar Pasha.
London, July 9.—The Times, com
menting on recent reported movements
of Austrian troops, says: The Austrians
can hardly delay much longer the in-
evitable occupation of Bosnia. There
is every reason to believe the Turks
would withdraw from the province
rather than drive the Court of Vienna
into the oosition of an open foe.
ReutePs from St. Petersburg says,
according to reports received there, the
Russian retreat in Asia is not attribut-
able to a Caucasian rising, which was
virtually suppressed, but to the fact
that the Russians were too weak to
overcome the Turkish forces, whose
strength had been underrated.
Teheran, July 9.—The Russian ex-
pedition against the Turcomans is on
the retreat.
Constantinople, July 9.—Ismail Pa-
sha telegraphs, under date of Erzeroum,
July 6th: The Elackhut division, after
a desperate engagement, pursued a Rus-
sian force and compelled it to quit Ot-
toman territory near Messonaguedok,
which place was occupied by the Turks.
I have summoned the Russians in the
citadel at Bayazid to capitulate on hon-
orable terms, and am convinced they
will comply.
Dervish Pasha telegraphs from Ba-
toum, July 7th: Two Turkish frigates
have bombarded and burned Chevketil.
They landed a force which defeated the
garrison and compelled them to aban-
don the town. The object of the expe-
dition thus being attained, the frigates
re-embarked the troops and returned to
Batoum.
Raouff Pasha, whose politics are gen-
erally spoken of favorably, starts al-
most immediately for Adrianople to
take command of the Balkan army.
Berlin, July 9—The Official Gazette
publishes a decree prohibiting export
of horses from Germany.
London, July 9—The Standard an-
nounces in official form that the iron-
clads Achilles, Agincourt and the sloop-
of war Ruby have been ordered to the
British squadron in the Mediterranean.
The Standard has the following
special dispatch from Bucharest: Two
Russian gunboats have left to endeavor
to blow up a Turkish monitor ashore
at the Saline mouth of the Danube.
Sunday's Summary— Position ot tlie
Armies in Bulgaria— Operations
in Armenia.
London, July 8.—Concerning the
situation on the Danube we have no
new information from any quarter, ex-
cept denials of the first hasty reports
of the rapid advance of the Russian®.
Turnova is not in their hands, nor
likely to be immediately, as the Turks
probably mean to hold the line of the
Yantra if they can, and Turnova is
very favorably situated for a strong
defense. It stands on the precipitous
banks of the Yantra. The houses in
many cases are built on the sides of
hills, which are surrounded by a cita-
del—the castle of the ancient Bulgarian
kings—with higher hills all around and
within the winding of the river, on
which strong redoubts have been con-
structed and which certainly now will
not be given up without a struggle.
A dispatch from St. Petersburg de-
nies that the Russians were repulsed at
Bjela, and asserts that Bjela is now in
possession of the Russians.
The following are the positions of
the respective forces, in Armenia, as
nearly as can be ascertained. The
Russian left wing, after advancing to
Delibaba, has now turned back on its
line of advance, ahd. is marching oh
Bayozid, which is still invested by
irregulars from Bad. It will probably
be able to defeat these, save Bayozia,
and re establish communication with
Erican.
A detached column of the center, un-
der Gen. Heymann, after defeat at
Z:win with serious loss, has fallen back
to the neighborhood of Kars, but tbe
siege of Kars has not been raised, and
the litest Turkish bulletins do not, give
the impression that Moubktar Pasha
feels himself strong enough to under-
take its relief. The latest advices re-
present that he has advanced to within
fifteen miles of the Russian investing
lines.
There has been nothing definite from
Batoum since the capture by theTurks
of the Russian positions on the Same-
liba and Khatzuban heights. Both
Russian and Turkish reinforcements
are said to be hastening forward. The
question of provisioning the armies is
said to be proving serious for both
sides.
A dispatch to Reuter's Telegram
Company, dated Erzeroum July 5, says
the Russians fell back in an orderly
manner from Tc-lebkillissa to Ujak, fol-
lowed by the Turkish right. There
were frequent cavalry skirmishes. A
regular engagement commenced at day-
break on the 4th and lasted until two
o'clock in the afternoon. The only fact
known concerning it is that the Rus-
sians maintained their position at Upek.
The Russians have recommenced and
are continuing the bombardment of
Kars.
Dervish Pisba telegraphs from Bc-
toum that a regiment of Russian cava'-
ry, supported by infantry, attacked
Zerban on Wednesdav, and was defeat-
ed with the loss of 500 killed and 100
wounded.
Constantinople, July 8 — The
Porte has published a protest accusing
the Russians of horrible atrocities in
both Asia and Europe.
New York, July 8.—The Herald's
Vienna correspondent says it is an-
nounced from St. Petersburg that the
cause of the dangerous position in
which the Russian army in Armenia
was lately thrown was owing chiefly to
the fact that Persia allowed a Turkish
corps from Lake Van to pass through
Persian territory. This corps was
thus enabled to surprise the rear of the
Russians at Biyazid, and to jeopardize
the position of a great portion of their
army.
England's Attttnde—The Advocates
ot an Active Policy Mreitheucd.
Manchester, July 9.—The Guardi-
an's London correspondent says he un-
derstands that the government have in-
formation that the Russians intend to
occupy Constantinople at all risks, un-
less the Turks anticipate that event by
making peace on the Czar's terms. The
effect of the receipt of this and other
intelligence as to Russia's intentions,
says the correspondent, has been to
modify very considerably the view
taken of the crisis "by certain members
of the cabinet.
The practical outcome will probably
be that, if the more energetic members
should feel bound to adopt an active
policy, they will no longer be opposed
by those of their colleagues who have
hitherto been disposed to caution. It
is reported that a powerful reinforce-
ment is to be sent to the squadron in
Bssika bay.
The Canadian Orangemen.
Montreal, July 8.—The Orangemen
are rather disconcerted over the action
of the trustees of the city churches in
refusing to allow them the use of their
edifices to hold divine services in on
the 12th. It is stated that the volun-
teers of the 5th military district will be
called out for service on the 12th on
the requisition of those magistrates
whose names were obtained to-day.
Boston, July 9.—A Montreal dis-
patch to the Journal says there is every
prospect of exciting times there on
Thursday, when the Orangemen have
their customary annuil parade. The
Orangemen are to come down from
Canada West in large numbers to take
part in the procession, which Montreal
Orangemen have decided on having at
all hazards. Nightly drills are going
on, and have been for weeks past, in
different parts of the city, and firearms
are being put in order by the opposite
party. "There are indications that a
hostile meeting will occur between the
two bodies and blood shed, notwith-
standing admonitions and advice given
both parties by the authorities and the
clergy.
Sound* from Sonora.
San Francisco, July 7.—A dispatch
from Sucson, Arizona, contains the
following advices from Guaymas, So-
nora, to the 29th of June:
Mariscal has been elected governor
of the State. A published report says
Gen. E. Iluerta has been appointed
provisional governor and military com-
mander of Sonora, and that the elec-
tion for members of Congress in that
State has been annulled. A telegram
from City of Mexico says the Sonora
Railroad Commission was approved by
the government June 9.
• rouble Willi Outlaws In Ken-
tucky,
Cincinnati, July 8.—A company of
Light Guards left Covington last even-
ing for Grayson, Carter county, Ky.,
under instructions from the Governor,
to report to the sheriff of Carter coun-
ty, to assist him in arresting a band of
horse thieves and desperadoes, who
have long been a terror to citizens of
that county. The thieves are numerous
and well organized and armed. It is
expected they will offer desperate re-
sistance to the officers.

turned this morning. She will be de-
layed ten days for repairs.

O'Leary Fails of His 500.
New York, July 8.—The Pedestrian
O'Leary failed to accomplish his task
of walking 500 miles from last Monday
at 12 a. m. until midnight Saturday. A
physician's certificate was received
stating that the cause of the failure was
acute eruption produced by heat, per-
spiration and chafing of his undergar-
ments. Ho only made 471 miles, the
last beimc doae in twelve minates and
twenty-nine seconds. He was forty-
seven minutes short of his English re-
cord.
The Coming Philological Conven-
tion ,
Baltimore, July 8.—The ninth an-

cal Association commences in this city
on Tuesday next at John Hopkins Uni-
versity Hall. A number of distinguished
professors and leading educators have
notified the committee of reception of
their iuvitation to be present. This
session will continue several days,
chiefly occupied with the reading and
discussion of papers on linguistic sub
jects.

TEXAS NEWS BY TELEGRAPH.
t valde—A Bloody melee Among
Teamsters with Ores front Chi-
huahua.
[Special Telegram to the News. 1
San Antonio, July 9, 1877.
Messf3. Scheihagen and Wulfs have
a telegram to day from Dhanis, stating
that their train, laden with siirer and
copper ores, hence from Chihuahua,
had been attacked on the Seco, near
Dhanis, Uvalde county, Texas, and
the trainmaster, F. Grimsinger, and two
teamsters killed and two wounded.
These are all the particulars known by
Scheihagen and Wulfs. They don't
know who the attacking party was, or
whether plunder was the object. Mr.
Scheihagen left this afternoon to meet
his train, which consists of fourteen
wagons and twenty-two men.
A Mexican officer is expected here to
confer with Gen. Ord relative to fron-
tier business. The weather is very hot
and sultry.
[Special Telegram to the News 1
Casthoville, J uly 9, 1877.
A most sanguinary affray occurred
yesterday on the Seco, thirty miles
west. A freight train from Mexico en-
camped near a grocery, and some of
the teamsters got into a row with a man
named T. Reilly, who fired at three of
them. They returnedjthe fire, mortally
wounding Frank Grimsinger, who was
present. Reilly returned the fire,
wounding one and killing two Mexi-
cans. He was slightly wounded him-
self. Grimsinger died this afternoon.
King Fisher leaves to-morrow for
Uvalde for trial, guarded by Hall's
command, which will be increased by
Dolan's company, as an attempt at res-
cue is feared.
End of a Buiy Term of Court—Crops
Klourisbing.
[Special Telegram to the News.1
Calvert, July 9, 1877.
The Spring term of our District
Court, Judge Spencer Ford presiding,
has just closed, having disposed of
about sixty civil and fourteen criminal
cases. In the latter there were nine
convictions. Several of these cases
were appealed and several cases nolle
prossed for offenses ranging from rape
down to assault with intent to kill. In
nearly all important cases the defend-
ants were granted new trials where ap-
lications were made.
Fine rain to-day. Crop prospects
never better.
A Stock-Jobbing Rumor of the
Pope's DeatU.
London, July 8.—There was an un-
confirmed rumor of the Pope's death in
the Paris Bourse on Saturday afternoon.
The Observer's special dispatch from
Paris says it caused uneasiness and de-
pression, but prices recovered toward
the close. All the circumstances indi-
cate that the rumor was merely circu-
lated for stock-jobbing purposes.
Failure and suspension.
Paterson, N. J., July 9.—The Mer-
chants' Loan and Trust Company sus-
pended. Depositors are probably safe.
Speculators lose heavily.
Rojie, July 7.—Cardinal Phillipe de
Angelis is dead.
Results of the Old Policy In the
Soutb.
The politicians who oppose the
Southern policy of President Hayes
are chiefly influenced by the fear that,
unless the Federal government inter-
feres in the Southern States, the Re-
publican party there will become en-
tirely powerless. These persons will
do well to study the following table,
showing the vote of the Southern
States during the years in which Fede-
ral interference was not withheld:

This shows that the Republican vote
in these States decreased from 654,671
in 1872 to 653,608 in 1876 (and to ob-
tain the latter figures the aid of Re-
turning Boards had to be called in);
while the Democratic vote in the same
time increased from 555,946 in 1872 to
955,085 in 1876. * How long does any
one think that it would have taken, at
this rate, under the old system, for
the Democrats to secure control of all
the Southern States?—N. 1'. Post.
The Colorado Vall£y.
Wharton, July 6, 1877.
Eds. News—I see in almost every copy
of the News a letter from Old Caney
and its railroad topic, and hope you
will indulge me in a few remarks.
The question of a railroad visiting
our county to transport our products,
the most of which are allowed to perish
for want of a near market, has made
our citizens quite jubilant; also which
is the best road for our interests. A
great many of our citizens blame Gal-
veston for not having a railroad before
this, and say it is like New Orleans
when she thought that the products of
the mighty Mississippi Valley were ever
destined to float on its natural convey-
ance, the Mississippi. She has lived to
see its valuable products carried east
by great trunk lines of railroads, and
at the fate'of this city Galveston should
take warning and not sit coolly by and
see men from St. Louis come here and
build a railroad and transport our pro-
ducts, "which is naturly Galveston's,"
to St. Louis or Houston; or, probably
worse, build a city that will eclipse
Galveston on Texas's natural harbor,
"the mouth of the Brazos."
But the St. Louis company wants a
thousand acres of our rich lands per
mile; and, although we are willing to
do anything in our power for transport-
ation, we feel that this is too much for
us, but of course we are bound to have
a road to show our banner county in its
true colors, Now, if Galveston wants
this country she can get it by putting
Mr. Hurley's road through at once,
and not running our oppressed citizens
to such an expense as the St. Louis
company proposes to. But Galveston
must make a move, and move at once,
or she will ever regret her action.
Crops are splendid, and if the weather
keeps dry we apprehend no serious
damage from the cotton worm, and we
ran have many a train-load of the fleecy
staple for "Little Susie' by fall.
Yours, etc.; Frankif.
A well-known New England lecturer
having been recently married, a news-
paper remarked that he will now under
stand how much more blessed it is to
give lectures than to receive them.
PAN ■ PRESBYTERIAN COUNCIL.
Edinbuhgii, July 9.—Principal Cow-
an, of Canada, was president of the
meeting to-day of the Pan-Presbyterian
Council. Papers were read by Rev. Dr.
McCosh, of Princeton, on discoveries
in science and philosophy, and by Rev.
Dr. I'atton, of Chicago, on infidelity.
Rev. Dr. Sloane, of Allegheny, spoke
on intemperance in the United States.
He said there were 150,000 saloons and
500,000 habitual drunkards, of whom
50,000 die yearly. The Council adopted
a resolution as to the value of the Sab-
bath day and the conduciveness of in-
temperance to irreligion.
