Texan and Otlicr Democratic Slate*.
The New York Times publishes what
purports to he "n letter from Judge
T. C. lJanleu, of Victoria, Texas,"
which gives, says the Timet, " the testi-
mony of a resident of the State upon a
very important question, viz: To what
degree does Democratic rule in the
Southern States produce the peaceful
observance of the rights of all." And
this additional commentary follows:
There in no rmifn for doubt'tbat tlie effect of
tlie election of Mr. Tilden to the presidency
Mould be to establish throughout the greater
|iart of the Southern States much the lams
condition of things that now exists in those
States where the Democrats have unchecked
power. What this is. Judge Barden's letter,
\\ ritten from a State which has for two years
been in the ham Is of the Democrats, shows
pretty conclusively. We submit to those
Northern Democrats who sustained the war
for the I niun, and who desire to see the whole
. ■..miry enjoy tin- benefits of the system of
lie.- and equal government which the war
v as f<iiiirht to secure, whether it isidesirable
that Texas shall become the model for all
the Southern tttates. We have not concealed,
and do not conceal the fact that there has
been, at different times, a great deal of mis-
government by Republicans in some of the
Southern Ste.tos, notably in Louisiana, Arkan-
sas. Alaliatu a anil South Carolina. But in the
worst of them there has been nothing like
the lawlessness and the denial of the com-
monest r».ghts of person and property that
now exist jn Texas. It 1s not too much to say,
moreover, that if General Hayes is elected,
K -publi.can rule In the South will improve. If
Mr. Tiiden i« elected, Democratic ruin will be
worjo than ever.
The Times is unfortunate in the selec-
tion of Texas as an example to prove that
Democratic ascendency involves the
practical denial of the rights of civil and
political equality "which the war was
fought to secure," and which the Four-
teenth anil Fifteenth amendments are
supposed to guarantee. Democratic
ascendency, per se, has nothing to do
with the existence of lawlcssn^ j any-
where in Texas, and nowhere
in Texas, bince the State passed
into the hands of the Democrats,
lias lawlessness been marked by any
tracc of parly spirit, or been attended
by actual discrimination against any
class or body of citizens cu account of
race, color or previous condition. It
has been distinguished by the impar-
tiality of its visitations. It is of no
party; it has no politics; but from the
general Democratic complexion of the
State, the great majority of those who
are injured by it in person or property,
industry or trade, or in any relation,
have been Democrats. The failure
of the present State Execu-
tive and of the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth Legisture to adopt meas-
ures of adequate vigor for the suppres-
sion of lawlessness has never been ex-
cused as in pursuance of Democratic
policy. It is due partly to false ideas of
economy, partly to local jealousies and
dissensions, and partly to a fantastic
reverence, manifested by a crotchety,
opiniated and obstinate Governor, for
the rights of criminals, outlaws and
desperadoes. It has been lamented
by the Democratic press of
Texas, and there is evidence that
the public opinion of the State is
making itself felt upon remiss authori-
ties and upon turbulent individuals in
favor of a regular and efficient adminis-
tration of justice and of order and se-
curity under the laws. As regards
peace and harmonious relations between
whites and blacks, and the absence of
passions and excitements which engen-
der political intolerance and proscrip-
tion, we cheerfully accept the issue pro-
pounded by the New York Times, and
" submit to those Northern Democrats
who sustained the war for the Union,
and who desire to see the whole
country enjoy the beuetits of the system
of free and equal government which
the war was fought to secure," that it
is "c'esirablc that Texas shall become
the model for all the Southern States."
l!ut why does the jfV//i<vtsingle out Texas
as an illustration of the tendencies of
Democratic rule with respect to the
" peaceful observance of the rights of
allV" There were instances much nearer
home to which it coultl have pointed.
Why did it not j'O'nt to the re-
sults of Democratic rule in
Connecticut, New Jersey, New
York, Delaware, Virginia, Indiana,
Missouri, where States affairs are, or
have been, in Democratic control? The
fact is that in no Northern State, and
in no Southern State, has the policy of
any Democratic administration, as such,
been inimical to the " peaceful obser-
vance of the rights of all." The fact is
that in every Southern State where De-
mocratic ascendency has been establish-
ed, government has ceased to be an
instrument of public plunder, political
tumults and homicides are unknown,
and pe:ice and concord prevail between
the races. Seeing all this, it is clear
that in so far as the election of
JVIr. Tilden to the presidency
would imply the extension to
other States of the condition of things
now existing in States under Demo-
cratic ascendency, the election wrmld
usher in an inestimable State reform,
in addition to the great national reform
with which his name is identified. On
the other hand, Kepublican rule in the
South has got worse, instead of better,
during two terms of a Republican Presi-
dent, and as iike causes are supposed to
produce like effects, the election of
another Republican President could
hardly be the signal for its improve-
ment. _
Kexlifnation or Col. A. J, Peeler.
Those who have been conversant with
the laborious and difficult duties of the
office of Assistant Attorney General
under the adraioistVation of Gov. Coke,
and the efficiency with which they have
been discharged by Col. A. J. I'ce'.er,
will note with regret his resignation.
An able and studious lawyer, a cul-
tivated scholar, a conscientious and
valuable public servant, as Col. 1'ee^r
proved himself to be, will not be per-
mitted to withdraw himself from the
public service without a proper recog-
nition of his eminent usefulness. The
professional man of such merit is not
• often appreciated by his political supe-
riors, but the public will recognize him
uceoiding to his worth. This inucii i;;
due to Col. I'eclcr without di par.ifc
incut to his .iieceRTor, the lion. Geo.'
McC'ormick, whose qualifications ait:
conceded to be of a high order.
Colonizing; I lie Sioux on tbo Border
of Texas.
It has been officially announced that
the Indian Commission consummated a
treaty with the Sioux, Cheyennes and
Arapahoes at the Red Cloud agency, the
Indians agreeing to the propositions
made to them on the 7th of September
without the change of a single word.
The most important provision is for a
transfer of the tribes to the Missouri
river or to the Indian Territory in case
an Indian delegation bring back favor-
able reports of the country. Under a
law approved the 30th of June, 1872,
Congress enacted " that hereafter no
Indian nation or tribe of the United
States shall be acknowledged or recog-
nized as an independent nation, tribe or
power, with whom the United States
may contract by treaty," and under
what authority this commission has
made a new treaty abrogating the old
ones made with the Sioux prior to its
passage, only the higher powers at Wash-
ington can explain, if any one can.
Tlite is a serious matter to Texas, as
well as to the other States bordering on
the Territory, and to the civilized Indian
already in it. The latter, through Col.
feoudinot and others of their leading
men, have protested against this new in-
fusion of barbarism into a population
noW slowly emerging from a savage
statei Col. BoutYinot is one of the most
intelligent and /ydiable men among
the Cherok'C^ well acquainted
with all that Hie "wellbeing
and progress of the Indians as any man
in the United States.
The News has already published his
elaborate letter on this subject. After
describing the lands held by the Indians
now in the Territory, and their right to
the same, he says "there are already
85,000,000 of the 45,000,000 acres in the
Territory occupied by other Indian
tribes, not one of which will consent to
share its reservation with the Sioux In-
dians. Then the commissioners will
have 10,000,000 acres lying between the
98th and 100th degrees of west longi-
tude, next to Texas, wherein to make
good their promises to Red Cloud and
Spotted Tail." The imperfect manner
in which the United States government
has thus far restrained the wild Indians
gathered in reservations on the borders
of Texas, gives reason for the most se-
rious apprehension from the location
on our northern boundary of this
fresh horde of barbarians, now exulting
in the idea that they have driven the
government to sue for peace and offer
such terms as it is for the interest. of
the Sioux, as an independent people, to
accept.
A dispatch from Vinita, Indian Ter-
ritory, says;
The Cherokee and other civilized In-
dians are greatly excited over the
proposed removal of the Sioux into
the Territory. They say the govern-
ment is again proposing to violate the
treaty stipulations by removing these
Indians to their country without their
consent. They characterize the action
of the commission in agreeing to give
the Sioux homes in the Territory of
the Oklamaha as being similar to the
offer made by Satan on the mountain
eighteen hundred years ago. There
will be a united and solemn protest
against the consummation of this al-
leged outrage against the rights of the
civilized as well as the Sioux Indians.
A Neat and Iteruge of Outlaws,
Kobbers and Uevolntloulata.
On the southern side of the Rio
Grande is a large expanse of meadow
lands, cut off and isolated from the
main territorial body of the Mexican
Republic by a long chain of mountains
running from a point on the river some
five hundred miles above its mouth, east
and southeast, to the Mexican Gulf near
about Tux-pan". This valley so inclosed
is occupied indifferently by the Mexi-
can authorities and by the independent
bandit, Juan Cortina. It is the refuge
of robbers, murderers and smugglers
from the two neighboring nations. The
river winding through this valley is a
shallow stream, fordable at a thousand
places. It is no obstacle to the cattle-
thief or smuggler. The mountains pre-
sent a barrier impassable Except at cer-
tain gaps, easily guarded against preda-
tory bands and smugglers. This natu-
ral barrier is a protection to thieves,
smugglers and the large class engaged
in revolutionary measures against their
parent country. In that valley are
hatched revolutions, and in its thickets
are sheltered the irrepressible bands of
outlaws and raiders that infest the
nether side of the Rio Grande. So long
as the river is the boundary the bandit
will thrive, the pronuneiado will be
safe, and the government of Mexico
will annually lose the duties upon all
the goods smuggled across a thousand
shallow fords. Remove the boundary
to the mountains, and depredations
will cease; a few troops will be suffi-
cient to protect the passes in the moun-
tains; Mexico will be rid of Cortina,
and the secure retreat of the profes-
sional revolutionary leaders will be
soon peopled with Anglo-Saxons; the
Mexican Republic will be able to pre-
vent smuggling; .and the trade with
this country, now worth nothing to the
Mexican exchequer, will then prove a
source of large public revenue to our
neighbors. A change .of the boundary
would protect the Mexican government
in its trade and in its integrity. It
would lessen the danger of war be-
tween the two countries, always immi-
nent in the presence of the chronic
state of lawlessness and revolution in
this valley. It would protect Texas and
" Ijos Gringos," who, if much longer
raided upon, will certainly be able to
produce ample cause of war, when the
question of the boundary between the
two nations would be one less pleasing
to the Mexican government to contem-
plate than the peaceful cession of this
more strip of country now valueless
and hurtful to both countries.
The papers continue to chronicle
losses of vessels and lives from the late

Report or the Finance Committee.
The Council appear to have awakened
to the necessity for decided action in the
matter of uncollected assessments and
taxes, as will be seen from the ordinance
introduced last night, afid which will
probably become a law after next meet-
ing. The amounts due by property
owners for improvement of streets and
sidewalks have been ascertained, and
this ordinance embraces elaborate pro-
visions to insure their early collection,
the total delinquent taxes awl assess-
ments sum up f374,999 72, which will
retire bonds enough to give the Council
all the margin for expenses that may be
required between this and the close of
the municipal year.
The whole indebtedness of the city is
placed at $1,260,160 97, which is $60,-
160 97 more than the limit permitted
by the charter. Of this amount the
floating indebtedness is $409,689 97,
which it is proposed to retire by issu-
ing bonds bearing 8 per cent, interest
and payable in thirty years.
Tte Finance Committee frankly ad-
mit the impossibility of meeting any
obligation contracted previous to first
instant; except by funding it. The
prooipt payment of cash, if made the
rule hereafter, will be far more satis-
factory, even at reduced salaries, than
the issue of scrip bearing no definite
value.
The whole of estimated receipts for
the year is $052,099 70, which, properly
managed, ought" to enable the govern-
ment to operate on a cash basis, with a
liberal balance for retirement of bonds
and making improvements.
James Lick, the millionaire and phi-
lanthropist of California,whose death is
announced, had reached the advanced
age of 80 years, having been born Aug.
29, 1796. His native State was Penn-
sylvania, though he removed to Cali-
fornia in 1847 from South America,
where he had been engaged in commer-
cial pursuits for twenty-six years. His
investments at San Francisco in real
estate and certain enterprises yielded
him a princely fortune, the size of
which, together with the charitable uses
to which he began to devote it some
years ago, has given him world-wide
fame. In 1874 he assigned $2,000,000
from his estate to trustees for various
public purposes, including $700,000 for
a telescope and other apparatus for an
observatory founded by him at Lake
Tahoe; $300,000 for a school of mechan-
ical arts in California, $250,000 for pub-
lic monuments; $150,000 for public
baths at Sacramento; $150,000 for a
monument to Francis Scott Key, author
of "The Star Spangled Banner;" and
large sums for benevolent societies.
The Philadelphia Telegraph says a
steamer is to be run from that city to
New York, in connection with the line
from New York to Galveston and New
Orleans, under the management of
Morgan's Texas Railway and Steamship
Company. A large frame building has
been erected at the foot of Lombard
street, pier 21, for the reception and
storage of freight. The side-wheel
steamship Agnes is the only vessel on
the line, and she will leave Philadel-
phia every Monday and Thursday for
New York, and freight for the South
will be transferred to the steamers of
the main line. »

Uarizza, Texas, Oct. 1.—Captain L.
H. McNelly, San Antonio, Texas—Ow-
ing to heavy rains, I was unable to
reach the Carizza until last night. On
my arrival I learned that a party of
desperadoes were camped on the Espa-
noza Lake, ten miles north of this
place, and that another party would
pass the night at the Pcndencenia. I
sent Corporal Williams with ten men
and a number of citizens to the latter
place and started with the balance of
the detachment for the camp of the
Espanoza.
I arrived within sight of the camp
about 12 o'clock r. m., when we dis-
mounted and proceeded on foot, leaving
two men to guard the horses and a des-
perado, Nolicky, whom I had captured
on my way. I discovered their camp on
the bank directly in front of us and ad-
vanced slowly to within twenty yards
of them, when two of them commenced
firing on us with their six-shooters. We
responded promptly, and a lively little
fight ensued, resulting in the death of
three of them and the wounding of an-
other in five places.
We subsequently learned from the
wounded man that there were but four
of them in the camp, the balance of the
party having left that morning. After
collecting their arms we returned to
our horses, where we were informed
by the guard that while we were fight-
ing the, horses became excited, calling
their attention from the prisoner, who
took this opportunity to attempt tct
escape. He was ordered to halt three
times but kept running, and was fired
upon and killed.
The names of the killed were John
Martin, Jim Roberts, Geo. Muller and
Nolicky, all of whom were desperate
characters and the terror of this coun-
try. The wounded man's name is Jim
McAllister, who has but lately joined
the party.
Before Corporal Williams arrived at
the Pendencenia they had received in-
formation of his coming and left.
Learning that there was a bad Mexican
at Whaley's rancho, eight miles distant,
he sent three men to arrest him. The
Mexican refused to surrender and
fought desperately, until our men were
obliged to kill him in self defense.
There are numerous bad characters in
the country, but they keep hidden in
the brush so that it is difficult to find
them.
King Fisher left about a week ago
with a large drove of cattle. Porter is
supposed to be with him. The parties
that we killed had about fifty head of
stolen horses and twenty-two yoke of
work oxen in Thompson's pasture,
taken from Mexicans on the Rio
Grande. We will round-up the pasture
to-morrow. Further particulars by
mail. Armstrong,

noon, under the following circum-
stances: A stranger came into Rock-
wall and requested to be shown a tract
of land for sale near there, which Starke
went to show him. The stranger was
armed with a shot-gun. A short time
after they started Starke was found
dead with a load of buckshot in his

Cobsicana, Oct. 2, 1876.
A serious accident happened to the
south bound mixed train, which left
this place at six o'clock this morning.
The bridge at Elm Creek, distance from
here three miles, was on fire when the
train approached it, and before the
train could be stopped, it was precipi-
tated into the creek.
P. McCormick, engineer, received
slight injuries; John McCormick, fire-
man, was killed; and Barrett, brake-
man, was injured. About fourteen
cars, loaded with cotton, bacon, flour,
etc., were burned.
The supposition is that the bridge
was set on fire by some villains, whose
intention was to rob the north bound
express train due here af 5.15, but for-
tunately the train was behind time.
Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Clarke, of Gal-
veston, were aboard of the wrecked
train, but escaped without injury.
Passengers' baggage and light express
matter will be transferred at Elm Creek
promptly, until the bridge can be re-
placed.
[Second Dispatch. [ ^
At the Wreck, three miles below Cor- )
sicana, Oct. 2—9.45 p. m. j"
I have just reached the wreck, where I
found the unfortunate train which has
met its mishap. The train was the
No. 2 accommodation, which left Cor-
sicana at 6.10 this morning and reached
here about 6.20. The firest intimation
the engineer had of anything being
wrong was when he reached within
twenty feet of the bridge, that had been
burned away. His engine was then on
the bridge and running about twelve
miles per hour.
When he saw that he was bound to
go in, he opened his engine to its full-
est capacity to try and jump her over
which he succeeded in doing, carrying
the tender and ten gars with him, but
the engine and cars were off the track
and piled up together just across the
bridge. Three fell in, leaving the pas-
senger car, baggage car and four on the
bank. Three of those burned, as did
all those that reached the opposite
bank, with the engine and tender.
The cars burned were loaded, one
with apples and onions, three with
coal, two with wagons, three with
flour, two with bacon and lard, one
with car wheels and four with cotton.
The bridge that was burned was about
seventy feet long over a dry creek, Lit-
tle Elm, but, from having been the
scene of several wrecks, sometimes
called by railroad men " Little Calam-
ity," or "Bad Medicine Creek" bridge.
The fire had been started by unknown
persons. No trains had been over the
track since 7 o'clock Suuday morning.
The fireman, John McCormick, was
found across near the engine, and was
so badly burned that he died before
reaching home.
His father—Pat, the engineer—stuck
to his engine, but was bruised badly,
though he is walking about. One brake-
man, W. H. Barrett, had his left leg so
badly mashed that it had to be ampu-
tated. He has also several cuts on the
head and body, but will probably re-
cover.
The scene presents a bad appearance.
The coal is still burning. All the wood
work of the cars and contents were des-
troyed. Only old irons and bent wheels
lie around. Superintendent Quintan
and aids came promptly to the scene
and collected three construction trains
and 150 men, who are working and will
have the bridge repaired and trains
pass in two days at farthest.
Every comfort has been afforded the
wounded by Captain Quinlan.
II r m.—Transferring just completed.
The train will reach Houston about
three hours behind time, and to-morrow
will transfer sooner. Wagons have
been procured and are being used with
rapidity.
WACO.
Strange murder in Colored Circles—
A Negro of Good Reputation
Found Shot and Hanged.
[Special Telegram to the Galveston News.]
Waco, Oct. 2, 1876.
Jim McCann, colored, who has lived
here nearly all his life, and bore a good
character, being a polite and hard-
working man, was called out of his
house Saturday night by another color-
ed man. Seemingly they had some un-
derstanding about going upon some
kind of an expedition, as Jim had his
horse already saddled. He put ten dol-
lars and a derringer in his pocket and
left. He was found on Sunday evening
half a mile from the public square,
hanging to a limb and shot in three
places. The negro wTho called him out
and the others, who were seen with
him late that night, are in jail.
There are a good fhany surmises as
to the cause. Some are that it was an
" old grudge," " a woman," or " gam-
bling; " that the others shot him and
then hanged him to throw off suspi-
cion. He had on him a placard—a mis-
erable scrawl—with the words, " The
result of running after white women
and threatening good citizens." The
pistol and ten dollars were found in his
pocket.
There was no politics in this, nor
whites involved.

NEW YORK CITY NEWS.
New York, Oct. 2.—Julius Blanc,
a native of France, shot his wife and
blew out his own brains. Blanc was
totally blind, and supported his family
by giving music lessons.
Blanc left a letter, saying: "I love
my wife and she cherishes me. She
and I alone can judge what is the cause
that determined me to the terrible act
of despair, and, as we do not wish to
leave our child an orphan, I have pre-
ferred he shall accompany us." Mrs.
Blanc was an opera singer, appearing
in chorus of opera bouffe. Blanc has
lately been jealous of his wife. He
was in the French navy till about six
years ago, aad was shipwrecked, and
the exposure caused serious impedi-
ment to liis eyesight, and he became
blind.
The jewelry store of F. Horton, 42
Fulton sti ;et, was robbed of $20,000.
No clue.
There w;.s a riot at a colored church

SPAIN.
The Tempest Isabella Has liaised.
London, Oct. 2.—A special from Bar-
celona to the Times says in the political
world everything is in a state of rest-
lessness and excitement. Dispatches
between Queen Isabella and the min-
istry relative to the former's pecuniary
claims have brought contempt and ridi-
cule on all concerned. Gen. Martinez
C'amos and the Primier are understood
to be warm supporters of Isabella's
claims. .
MARINE AND SHIPPING.
New York, Oct. 2.—Arrived: Hin-
doo. Arrived out: Ohio. Homeward:
Annie Williams, Pensacola; Oscar,
New Orleans. The Heroine, from
Charleston, is ashore at Bray Island.
Queenstown, Oct. 2.—A steamer,
supposed to be the Idaho, reported be-
fore disabled, passed this harbor going

abled. _
THE COLD SNAP AORTH.

water froze to the thickness of about
one-eighth of an inch, but on yesterday
the weather moderated considerably.
Notes from New Orleans.
New Orleans, Oct. 2.—A boy named
Moynaham, aged 12 years, was killed
by falling under a Canal street car.
A fire in the square bounded by Jo-
sephine, Lorient, White and Jackson
streets caused a lost of $30,000.
Work of Riotous moulders.
Troy, N. Y., Oct 2.—Thirty riotous
moulders, about 2 o'clock, carried a
thousand dollars worth of patterns
from the shop of M. T. Tilly, a non-
union moulder. The watchmen used
sruns without effect.
THE EASTERN QUESTION.
Scanty Particulars of a Great Bat'
tie on Saturday—Calculations on
pacific Solution of the Difficulties
Continued, but No Solution Ef-
fected.
London, Oct. 1.—A dispatch from
Belgrade to Renter's Company says
there was a serious dispute yesterday
between Prince Milan and Ristics, the
Servian Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Ristics insisted upon conclusion of an
armistice, but Prince Milan would not
listen to the proposition. Ultimately
the war party prevailed, and M. Ristics
tendered his resignation, which Prince
Milan declined to receive. Ristics was
with difficulty persuaded to remain in
office.
London, Oct. 2.—The Standard's dis-
patch says the Servians again furiously
attacked the Turks and were repulsed
with a loss of 1500 men. Another bat-
tle is imminent.
A Standard Belgrade dispatch says the
Russian^ inundation is steadily crowd-
ing out the Servian element. The pre-
parations at Belgrade and on the Rus-
sian border are inconsistent with paci-
fic declarations of the Russian Cabinet.
There are good reasons for believing
that Russia will soon take the responsi-
bility for the war which has been
waged under the flimsy cover of the
Servian flag.
Ragusa, Oct. 2.—The Montenegrin
government is understood to be pre-
pared to accept terms of peace based
on an extension of territory, although
the people favor a continuance of the
war.
London, Oct. 2.—-The Times's corre-
spondent at Turkish headquarters says
Thursday's battle, both as regards losses
and numbers engaged, was decidedly
the greatest of the whole war. In front,
towards the Maranta, the Servian at-
tack was merely directed against
the Turkish left wing, under Habiz and
Alipashas, in order to cut off the Turk-
ish retreat to Nisch. Sixteen Servian
battalions also crossed the Morava at
Dracheac, and advanced by way of
Jessica against the Turkish right, under
Falsey Pasha. This double flanking
movement completely failed, and the
Servians by noon were driven back at
all points with great loss.
Paris, Oct. 2.—It is stated that the
Czar's letter to Francis Joseph, after
describing in detail the dangers of the
situation, proposes immediate occupa-
tion of Bulgaria by the Russian army,
and occupation of Bosnia and Herze-
govina by the Austrian army, and
watching of the Bosphorou3 by both
powers.
London, October 2.—The Timet Bel-
grade special says a dispatch from
headquarters of the army of the Mo-
rava announces that on Friday the
Turks attacked the Servians on two
sides. Fighting continued on Friday
evening. Both sides maintained their
positions, and resumed on Saturday.
The Russians displayed great bravery.
Two Servian and thirty Russian officers
were killed.
The same dispatch says a rumor
reached Belgrade that Turkey will ac-
cept the peace conditions, provided
Servia be made to do so likewise.
Four hundred Russians arrived at Bel-
grade on Saturday.
A special from Berlin says consider-
able portions of the Russian army have
received orders to be ready for imme-
diate concentration. Cavalry are on a
war footing and infantry are ready.
A I'imes correspondent gives sub-
stantially the same acaount ot the Czar's
letter to the Emperor of Austria as
given by its Paris correspondent, and
says the Czar proposes that Servia shall
retain its independence under Russian
generals. Notwithstanding the serious
steps taken by her, there is a pretty
general conviction that Russia does not
wish to go to war. The Austrian gov-
ernment will probably refer the ques-
tion to the joint decision of the Guar-
anteeing Powers, which preceded the
Czar's letter. The Russian diplomatists
left no doubt as to the kind of inde-
pendence they wished accorded to some
Christian provinces. These provinces
are to be, like Servia, under a Christian
government, supported by Christian
soldiery—having no connection with
the Porte, except financially.
The Porte has threatend to hold Rou-
mainia responsible for permitting the
passing through her territory of Rus-
sians.
The Porte has informed its represen-
tatives that the Turks, because of In-
cessant attacks, will resume the of-
fensive.
Paris correspondents say that Russia
thinks the powers, to avoid the conse-
quence of the occupation, will impose
conditions on Turkey that they would
tot have imposed a fortnight ago.
A dispatch to the Tine* from Sarazero,
states that 1500 armed Austrian Slavo-
nians entered Bosnia Saturday, they at-
tacking Moslems and inciting'Christians
to insurrection. The Turks are march-
ing against them.
Athens, Oct. 2.—A meeting of 8000
persons was held here, at which the in-
tolerable position of the Greek provinces
of Turkey was discussed. A proposal
for augmenting the Greek army was
greeted with favor.
Belgrade, Oct. 2.—An official dis-
spatch says 20,000 Turks, withjforty
cannon, attacked the Servians on Satur-
day and were completely repulsed, with
heavy loss, after twelve Jhours fighting.
The Colorado Elections.
Washington, Oct. 1.—The elections
on Tueseay in Colorado, besides State
officers, will be for a Legislature, which
will choose two Senators, for three
members of the Presidential Electoral
College, and two members of Congress.
Fatal Boiler Disaster.
Cincinnati, Oct. 2.—By the explo-
sion of the boiler of an engine used in
driving a grain separater on the farm of
Wm. Johnson, at Argosy, Indiana,
Saturday, two men were killed and
nine others injured, some severely.
English Grain Markets.
London, Oct. 2.—Northern farmers
made good use of the short interval of
fair weather. Much, however, remains
to be done. In some districts grain has
been housed in an unsatisfactory man-
ner. The poor quality of wheat and
somewhat increased offerings caused a
decline of a shilling per quarter. Should
California decline to ship at present
prices, nothing can prevent a rise in
prices.
A Bad Incendiary Overhauled,
Chattanooga, Oct. 2.—On Saturday
the county court-house was set afire in
the office of the Registrar of Deeds.
The fire was extinguished with some
damage to the books, and two books
were missing. To-day Dr. Barns was
arrested with the missing books in his
possession. He had recently bought
an abstract of title covering all, aud
would have made a large amount of
monev if it had not been discovered.
The Price of Coal.
Philadelphia, Oct. 2.—The Lehigh
Coal Exchange agreed ,to continue the
September price of coal during Oc-
tober.
The Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal
Company have resumed work at all
their collieries with full force and on
full time.
Oarsmen Drowned.
Halifax, Oct. 2.—Abed Smith, bows-
man of the champion crew, and brother,
were drowned, their boat Iteing run
down by a steamer.
