France is reported to be suffering from a
plague of wolves, it being estimated that no
less than half a million of these animals exist
there at this moment. The damage inflicted
by these animals in their nocturnal raids from
forest and mountain is estimated at about 50,-
000,000 francs annually.
Dr. G. B. Thornton, president of the local
board of health at Memphis, and Dr. Mitchell,
of the national l»oard of health, deny the exist-
ence in Memphis of yellow fever, or any fever
resembling it. People will take comfort,
therefore, in regarding the dispatch from Erin
as a fling upon the gullibility of a New York
editor, who should have learned the truth or
falsity of the report before giving it publicity.
A correspondent writes to the News from
Chappelles, South Carolina, under date of
July 13, giving accouut of a railroad accident
near that place, by which several persons wei'Q-
instantly killed; among the number were R.
T. "White and D. J. McSeller, of Texas. Mr
McSeller, the writer states, left a large trunk
at the depot at Chappells. This statement is
made in hopes that it will reach some of the
friends of the unfortunate victims of the dis-
aster.
The New York Times, commenting on Henry
"Ward Beechers rationalistic sentiments re-
cently expressed, compares him to Benedict
Arnold, and demands that he shall come down
from the pulpit. The comparison is not a fair
one. Henry "VYaid Beecher is attached to no
extensive church organization and owes alle-
giance to no ecclesiastical government, except
his own congregation, who seem to be very
well pleased with his recently uttered senti-
ments.
The mental accord which exists between
Germany and Austria in the administration
of the affairs of Turkey by the former is a
challenge, if not a menace, to Russia that is
calculated to breed anything but pleasant re-
lation?. Turkey, in the light of international
example, should be Russia's plunder. It would
have been regarded as a decided piece of im-
pertinence for Russia to have attempted to dic-
tate terms at Versailles. In the matter of
Turkey, however, the foul bird of the tem-
pest is the carrion of the strongest buzzards.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for theirs is the
kingdom of Turkey.
Gen. Arthur's letter of acceptance bears an
unmistakable flavor of the " bloody shirt,"
and exhibits him in historic sympathy with
the rapacious adventurers who at £he close of
the war came south to obey the apostolic in-
junction and prey >vithout ceasing. This is
the Arthur whose name the Boston liberal re-
publicans struck from their banners; the Ar-
thur with the mutton-chop whiskers, whom
Conkliug selected because of his odium, to hu-
miliate the anti-third term republicans; the
Arthur who attempted to strangle the weak
bantling of civil service reform in its infancy,
and who now indorses the civil service reform
plank in the republican platform. To shake
the hand of such a man no party can afford to
be a Briareus.
It is a conceded fact among politicians that
years on which presidential elections accur are
always favorable to unpopular candidates in
districts where party majorities are always to
be depended on, and many a congressman owes
his election to the general popularity of the
presidential ticket rather than to his own.
"When a candidate falls below the party vote
at an election held at the same time that the
presidential vote is cast, it is a sure indication
o£" his unpopularity. According to this theory,
which is undisputed. Gen. Garfield can not "but
be regarded as unacceptable to a large number
of republicans in his own district, as will be
shown by the annexed result of the election of
1870. It will be observed, bj- comparison of
the vote for Hayes electors and that for Gar-
field, that the latter ran behind his ticket in
every county in his district:
Counties. naves. Garfield.
Ashtabula 6,7ri 5,893
Geauga 3,004 2.C41
Lake 2,041 2,562
Portage 3.712 3.."OS
Trumbull 0,1 o3 5,408
Total 22,5G1 20,012
Had the vote for Hayes been in the same
ratio throughout the state that Garfield's was
in his own district, the majority for Tilden
would have been 29,852. It will not be safe
for the backers of the Chicago nominee to
risk much on the result in Ohio in November
next.

Hancock and English Flag Raised*
LSpecial Telegram to the News.]
Crockett, July 19.—At an early hour to-
day our streets were thronged with the sover-
eigns of the county, the occasion being the
raising of a Hancock and English flag, which
was done at 10 o'clock, with three cheers.
Coi. D. A. Nunn then addressed the crowd
upon the national issues of the day. He re-
viewed the record of all the political parties
and their candidates; said that the greenback
party was a delusion, and its pretended desire
for reform was only a bait thrown out to en-
tice democrats from their allegiance to the
enduring principles of their grand old party.
He urged every democrat to stand firm; that
victory was now within their reach; that in
the election of Hancock and English they
would secure the first guarantee for true re-
form ; there would then be no sectional strife
to distract us; there would be no north and no
south.
Col. W. A. Stewart also delivered a well-
timed speech. Both speakers were frequently
applauded.

Dallas, Julf- 19.—Mayor Thurmond pub-

vindication of the charges pending against him
before the council. To-day he is out in a hand-
bill stating that he will not address the citizens
to-night, as announced, fearing from street ru-
mors that there may be a disturbance. There
was a rumor current that he would be pelted
with eggs.
All estimates concede the county anti-Rob-
erts, but vary as to the majority. Out of
twenty-two voting precincts heard from, six
instruct for Roberts, aggregating 10 votes;
two instruct for Lang, aggregating 6 votes,
and one for Hubbard, casting 3 votes. The
thirteen precincts refusing to instruct aggre-
gate 44 votes. There are six voting precincts

LSpecial Telegram to the News.]
New Orleans, July 19.—It having trans-
pired that Dr. Rutherford, of Texas board of
health, was expected this evening, a number
of our leading citizens met him at the depot
and welcomed him to our city. Among these
wore W. B. Schmidt, president of the sanitary
association, W111. Campbell and others. Ar-
rangements were then made for a meeting at
the St. Charles this evening at 8 o'clock, where
matters pertaining to the health of the city
might be discussed.
There were present at this meeting Dr.
Joseph Jones, president of the board of health;
. B. Schmidt, president, and E. Freret, vice-
president of the the city sanitary association;
Mr. Wm. Campbell, and others of our leading
merchants; also, representatives from all of
the city papers.
After Dr. Jones had made a clear and exact
account of the condition of the city, which he
stated was entirely free from fever, arrange-
ments were mane with Dr. Rutherford
for a visit to all the hospitals
and the locality connected with the late case,
including the quarantine station, together with
a personal inspection of all the men who were
engaged in discharging the cargo of the Excel-
sior. This is to be made to-morrow. Every
facility will be extended to the doctor to see

Gen. Arthur's Letter of Acceptance.
New York, July 19.—Gen. Arthur, republi-
can candidate for vice-president, has *vritten a
letter to Hon. Geo. F. Hoar, accepting the
nomination. In it he saj-s:
The authority of the national government to
preserve from fraud elections at which ite own
v!Bcers are chosen is the chief point on which
the two parties are plainly and intensely op-
posed. Acts of congress for ten years have, in
New York and elsewhere, done much to curb
the violence and wrong to which the ballot
and count have been again and ayain sub-
jected. Sometimes despoiling great cities,
sometimes stifling the voice of a whole state,
after seating not only in congress but on
the bench, and in the -legislatures a number of
men never chosen by the people. The demo-
cratic party, since gaining possession of the
two houses of congress, has made these just
laws the object ot" bitter, ceaseless assault, and
despite all resistance has Hedged them with
restriction, cunningly contrive i to baffle and
paralyze them. The republican party has
strongly approved the stern rei'uial of its rep-
resentatives to suffer the overthrow of sta-
tutes which are believed to be salutary and
just. It has always insisted, and now in-
sists that the government of the United
States of America is empowered, and
is in duty bound to effectively pro-
tect elections denoted by the cons.itution as
national. It is a suggestive and startling fact
increased power, derived from tho enfran-
chisement oL' the race now denied its share in
governing the country, wield xi by those who
lately sought to overthrow the government, is
now the solo reliance to defeat the party
which represcntsd the sovereignty oi the na-
tionality of the American peopte in tho great-
est crisis of our history. Republicans cherish
none of the reseutuunt which may have ani-
mated them during actual eonil.ct of arms.
They long lor full and real reconciliation be-
tween sections which were needlessly and
lamentably at strife. They sincerely offer the
hand of good wil, but they ask in return a
pledge of good faith. They deeply feel that
the party whose career is so illustrious ii^great
patriotic achievement, will not fulfill its
destiny until peace and prosperity
are established in "all the land—nor until lib-
erty. thought, conscience, and action and
equality of opportunity shall bo not
merely cold formalities of the statutes, but
living"birthrights which the humble may con-
fidently claim and the powerful dare not deny.
He indorsed the civil service resolutipu and tho
resumption do-icy; refers to questions of edu
cation, tariff, international improvements and
improvements of water corn ses, and in conclu-
j sion says: "There is danger in intrusting cou-
| trol of the whole law-making power of ti.e
govern men r, to the party which lias i" almost
every southern state, repudiated the obliga-
tions. quite as sacred as those to which the
faith of the nation now stands pledged."

Uraiu Trade.
London, July 19.—The Mark Lane Express,
in*its record of the grain trade during the
past week, says the weather continued show-
ery and unsettled, with heavy rains. I* cer-
tain districts the rainfall at this critical pe-
riod tended to emphasize the firmness which
has recently characterized the grain trade.
Owing to the depletion of granary stocks for
English wheat, prices have been well sustain-
ed, and, in some cases, slightly higher.
Red wheat continues unusually scarce,
particularly Saxon and winter American, both
of which are taken readily at 53s.; so that in
spite of good harvest prospects in America and
Europe thdre appears little chance of any de-
cline in the immediate future. Probabilities
of a smart rise are quite on the cards. Stocks
of wheat in London, July 1 were nearly 9*2,000
quarters less than at the same date in 1879,
while it is estimated that the total of about
136.000 quarters included a large proportion of
foreign wheat which, during the past fort-
night has gone rapidly into consumption.
Stocks of maize have also largely diminished.
Sales of English wheat last week were 16,799
quarters at 43s Id, against 23 41t> quarters at
44s lOd; same week in previous year. The im-
ports into the united kingdom during the week
ending July 10th were 1,185,110 cwt. of
wheat and 131,3S5 cwt. of flour.
The Situation.
London, July 19.—The Berlin correspondent
of the Times says: It is generally believed
here that if the porte resists the powers, the re-
sistance will be chiefly the result of a fear that
the concession woufd encourago the Pan Sla-
vic aspirations of the Bulgarians who menace
the existence * of the Turkish empire in
Europe. In Bulgaria, where Russian
inlluruice is becoming stronger, the
largo military preparations going
on are regarded with great mistrust. It is sur-
mised that Russia intends profiting by the
present situation in the peninsula to carry out
the programme of the treaty of San Stefano.
It is interesting to know in what light eastern
affairs are viewed by public opinion in Russia,
for thereby the real aim of the Rus-
sian policy may be seen. The St. Peters-
burg Vedomosti declares that the aims
of Russia are evidently offensive towards no-
body, for they consist on.'y in the constitution
of independent Sclave stages on the peninsula
and in the Dardanelles. No power can have
more moderate wishes. It is necessary they
should be realized even at the cost of great
trouble, for no other flag than the Russian
ought to be allowed to wave at the Bosphorus.
The semi-official Bereg says no intrigues or
secret conspiracies are necessary to accelerate
the collapse of the Turkish empire.
The situation has now come to the point
where it is only desirable to give a free hand
to christians in peninsula, as a general insur-
rection might follow and streams of blood be
shed, but the struggle is certain not to last long,
in consequence of political opinion and moral
decadence of the porte.
The Bereg would prefer a pacific solution,
but at the same time it says the interests of all
the powers demand that their designs be
achieved, and that an end should be
quickly put to present insupportable situation.
The Molna says: We are convinced that all
the powers except Austria and Germany agree
in the plan to liquidate the Turkish empire.
Austria also would not be disinclined to share
in such liquidation if she were allowed to take
a ]>art of the booty.
Investigating a Postoffiee.
Richmond, Va., July 18.—Postoffiee inspec-
tors W. T. Henderson and P. T. Shallcross,
under orders from the postoffiee department,
have been for several days investigating the
affairs of the Richmond postoffiee, with a view-
to ascertaining its condition, and have discov-
ered that there is a shortage of about $-1300 or
$o.';00. This deficiency is duo to postmaster
Forbes, having overdrawn his account that
much since his last quarterly report, which
v as turned in properly balanced and accepted
oorreet by the department. If the deficiency
is not made good by the postmaster or sureties
at once—in forty-eight hours—the department
will cause his arrest and proceed against him
for embezzlement. There were rumors afloat
last night of this trouble in the postoffiee, but
nothing positive could be obtained. The above
information, however, is correct, coming, as it
does, from inspector Henderson himself.
itlurderof a marshal.
Cincinnati, July IS.—A special to the Com
mercial says: A party of roughs from Austin
town weut to Canfield opera last night with
the avowed purpose of being revenged on John

Gen. Grant for Garfield.
Denver, Col., July 19.—Gen. Grant, in an
interview, said: "I can say without hesita-

port. There is no reason why any republican
should not vote for Garfield. I knosv him to
be a man of talent, thoroughly accomplished
and upright. I have nothing against Gen.

inclined to support any radical measures
against Turkey, and believes it will be quite
sufficient to convince the porte that no change

may then be left entirely to the course of time
and to accidental circumstances. The German
cabinet will, in its policy, bo united to its
Austrian ally, and wiii do all in its power to
save Turkey from complete destruction. The

that the arrangement should not be too early
made known to other governments.

C CERENT POLITIC A A. GOSSIP.
Congressman Kurd, of Ohio, says lie is con-
vinced that for states to undertake to elec
presidential electors by means ot their legisla-
tures would, by reason of section 2, of the
fourteenth amendment, be unconstitution-
al. Whether Mr. Hurd is right or wrong
tho scheme would not work. It would be revo-
lutionary, because it would rob voters of their
right to a ballot on the question, aud as such a
revolutionary measure, would be resisted not
only by the democrats but by the conservative
republicans.
The Philadelphia Record says that nfltr
tho congressional apportionment under the
new census we shall hear less of New England
in the house of representatives and more of
the swelling and swaggering west. Texas,
Kansas, low a, Illinois and other western and
semi-western states will take up the baton of
power which the eastern states lay down. \\ e
have every confidence that they will use their
new-found strength as giants generally do,
with temperance aud consideration.
John W. Forney says some very hand-
some things in his enthusiasm for Hancock.
In a communication to his old paper, the
Press, be says: You will not trust Hancock
with the presidency of the United States be-
cause he is a democrat; aud yet but for him
and such as him the whole nation would have
perished. Besides, dear friends, we must be
careful about this crusade on the democrats.
The true statesmen regard them as an import-
ant factor in our population, aud when we at-
tempt to make democracy a sin, we not only
forget that democrats fought iu the war for
the union with signal courage, but that with-
out the aid of the democrats the republican
party would to-day be shriveled into the dry
dimensions of the skeleton of know-nothing-
ism. _
NEWS BY MAIL.
A St. Louis policeman, who clubbed a
boy for replying, when asked what he was
doing out late at night, " it's none of your
business," has paid a fine of fifty dollars and
gone to the penitentiary for six months.
William Parish was told by the poor-
master of South Toledo, Ohio, that he must
take himself out of town before nightfall, or
he would be sent to the workhouse. " I'll do
it," said Parish, aud he swollowed a dose of
laudanum.
Some wood-choppers at Canton, 111., sent
a boy to the top of a tall tree, which they had
cut almost through, to sway it in the direc-

in Pittsburgh, and took his wife to Detroit
where they had their first quarrel. In order
to frighten her, he declared that he was going

find that his plan had been most effective.
Mrs. Morton had swallowed morphine, and
neither his lamentations nor the doctor's efforts
could save her.

of firing a keg of powder that was in the

possible, and shielded his face so that he was
not seriously injured. One of tho constables
was killed, and the other burned so badly that
he could do nothing to prevent the prisoner
getting away.
COR YELL.
Something lor Roberts Tien to Consider
[To the News.1
■Turnersville, Coryell Co., July 9.—Or
dinarily, I take tho ins and outs of politics aud
politicians with little concern, but the present
gubernatorial canvass is enough to create a
marked degree of public interest to Texans,
and should be viewed justly aud considerately.
It seems, from correspondence in the columns
of the News, to be a general impression among
those who scribble for the old alcaide that ail
anti-Roberts men are necessarily politicians or
sore headed office-seekers. One gentleman,
writing in your issue of July 1, doubtless in-
spired by the propinquity of the glorious
fourth, calls all auti-Roberts men 44 pug-nosed
jackasses." 4t Sliding Jennie " appears to be a
female of the same species—judging, however,
by bis nornde plume, and not by his politics.
Why is it, I ask in candor, that triends of the
old "alcalde are so persistent in calling his op-
ponents "office-seekers,n "politicians,"' etc.'
From my own observations, the larger number
of office-seekers are Roberts men,
one going 50 far as to tell
me recently that ne intended to stump this
county for Roberts. But the truth is that men
of all classes believe both ways, and it is like
every other public matter, simply a matter of
choice. There's no use getting excited over
public men and measures, and I earnestly beg
Aycock and Jennie to save a little of their fuel
for future occasions. Roberts, however, we
sincerely trust will not l»e our next governor.
His policy has l#een detrimental to the best in-
terests of our great state. His system, if per-
sisted in, may'"pay as it goes," but it wiii
grind taxpayers to dire extremes. I acknow-
ledge the talent of Gov. Roberts with defei-
ence. Ilis persistence in taxing the people re-
minds one almost of "011 Id Ireland." He has
found 110 occupation too exalted, no pony race
too trivial, but what he can tax.
Even drummers, whisky, lager beer,
bcok-peddlers, and in fact every-
thing' is taxed, except condemned mur-
derers; they are taken better care of. Jennie
says " Roberts must please God, and to please
man does not always please God." If it pleases
CJod to have usury demanded of the poor ; if it
pleases God to see vice encouraged and the
murderer winked at, then doubtless our Hea-
venly Father is pleased with Roberts's admin-
istration, Rat: dom.
