Washington, October 1. — Questions
from various parts of the Union, as to

FREE ADVERTISEMENT OF THE “ NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN. ”
Washington, Oct. 1.—The present staff
of the National Republican embraces
Messrs. A. M. Clapp, editor-in-chief ; N.
Davidson, managing editor; Charles L.
Finnegan, A. B. Talcott, 11. P. Godwin,
and Jas. Y. Potts, associates. The saluta
tory, of nearly three columns, was gener •
ally read and discussed.
Extracts -.—“ We cannot consent, by
silence, on that point, tbat our attitude
toward the present National Administra*
tion shall be misunderstood or misinter
preted. Having devoted our best abili
ties and efforts to secure the elevation of
Gen. Ruth.erford B. Hayes to the Presi
dency, as the representative of the Re
publican party aud its pronounced princi
ples, it will be our highest pleasure to
sustain all his measures and policies that
are in harmony with Republican princi
ples, usages and traditions. To take any
other course would, in our judgment, be
inconsistent with political good faith and
render us remiss in duty. To expect
more or less of us now would be to impugn
onr political integrity, and question our
good sense as Republicans. We shall favor
and advocate all public improvements,
by which inter-State commerce may be
promoted and strengthened, and tbe re.
sources of the entire nation may be de
veloped into a wide spread prosperity.
We shall not contend for a tariff for pro
tection, but for revenue. We are in favor
of remoneUzing silver and making it a
legal tender of equal value with gold for
all debts due the Government, and the
people. We shall advocate the issue of
greenbacks backed by the national faith
to an amount equal to the wants of busi
ness and trade, and which shall be receiv
ed the same as gold and silver for all dneB
to the Government and individuals.”

The statement made by Mr. Tweed in
his testimony before the committee of the
New York Common Council relative to the
Argus, alleging that this paper was sub
sidized, not by paying money, but by put
ting it in appropriation bills for work
supposed to have been done by it, is sim

false in the total—without a shadow of
foundation from the commencement to
the end. The Argus Company never re**
oeived one dollar for any printing not
actually done in striot accordance with,
and in full compliance of oontraot or or

Not one dollar was ever appropriated for
tbe Argus or the Argus Company, ex

Argus bad a contract for doiug the legis

those vouchers all passed tbe scrutiny of
the Comptroller at that time.

CASSIUS M. CLAY KILL8 A THREATENING NE
GBO.
Cincinnati, October 1.—Hon. Cassius
M. Clay yesterday morning shot and in-
stantly killed a negro named Perry
White. Gen. Clay had employed Whited
mother as cook, but finding she had been
robbing him of silver plate and other ar
ticles, discharged her. Yesterday morn
ing he started fron his farm, six miles
from Richmond, Ky., to visit a negro
church in tbe neighborhood for the pur
pose of hiring another servant. While
on the way he perceived a loose horse in
the pastaro near the roadside, and the ne
gro Perry White endeavoring to conceal
himself behind (he animal. White had
threatened Clay’s life, and was known as
a desperate . character, and upon per-
ceiviug him, Clay immediately leaped
down, confronted the negro and ordered
him to throw np his hands. The negro
obeyed, and Clay talked to him roughly,
aud ordered him to leave the place, tell
ing him that if he moved from his posi
tion until Clay was remounted, he would
kill him. As soon as Clay Btarted for his
horso, the negro rushed after him, but
Clay turned suddenly and fired twioe,
bitting the negro in the neck and breast.
Geu. Clay then rode to town and delivered
himself to the authorities. The feeling
of the community is entirely with Clay,
as White had the reputation of being a
bully and dangerous man.
STRIKE IN KANSAS.
Laborers on Kansas Cantral Rail
road Strike.
LEADER KILLED BY SHERIFF’S POSSE.
COMMANDER OF POSSE ARRESTED TWICE AND
RELEASED ON TEN THOUSAND
DOLLARS BAIL.
Leavenworth, Ootober 1.—The labor
ers on tbe Kansas Central Narrow Gauge
Railroad, at the end of the line near
Giroleville, have been on a strike for
three days past, beoanse they have not
been paid their wages. Early Saturday
morning a party of twenty oitiaena left
the city on a special train for tbe Boene
of the disturbance, and at Holten were
joined by Sheriff Williams, of Jackson
county, and a posse of fifteen men. The
Leavenworth men made a part of the
Sheriff’s posse, and tbe train proceeded
to tbe end of the line, beyond Giroleville.
Here a large body of strikers were con
gregated, many on horseback, headed by
Hartman. The party was greeted with
all kinds of abusive epithets, Hartman
especially using offensive language and
being demonstrative in actions.
Oapt. Trngb, formerly U. 8. Marshal
for the Western District of Kansas, who
had been selected as leader of tbe posse,
commanded Hartman to halt and was an'*
swered by # pistol shot. The posse was
ordered to fire over bis head, whioh was
done, and Hartman replied with two shots
from his revolver. Tbe posse then, under
directions, fired upon Hartman. He died
the same evening.
The train returned to Giroleville where
it was met«by a great crowd of strikers.
A warrant was sworn out against Oapt.
Trngb, who was arrested but released on
his own recognizance.
At Holton the train was confronted by
another body of strikers who took posses
sion of the switoh and deolared they
would not let tbe train pass unless the
posSfe surrendered Captain Trugh to
them. This not being done, the train
backed out. Subsequently the posse left
the train and marched into Holten, took
op quarters in Holt, which was soon
surrounded by armed strikers, but find
ing the posHB well prepared did not at
tack the house. Captain Trugh was
again arrested the same night and re
leased on $10,000 bail.

ANOTHER TURKISH VICTORY REPORTED AT
PLEVNA—RUSSIAN LOSSES.
Special to Enquirer.Sun.]
Constantinople, September 31.—The
Turkish newspapers publish a report that
Osman Pasha has defeated the Rouma
nians before Plevna.
The Porte has refused to permit the
transit of timber across the Danube for
housing the Russian wounded.
OSMAN PASHA’8 LOSSES.
London, Ootober l.—Tho Standards
correspondent with the Turkish army tel
egraphs from Plevna: Osman Pasha’s
losses from the Russian cannonade are
exceedingly light, but on the day when he
retook the redoubts in the Laftcha Road
he lost three thousand men. There are
now, September 23, only 1,900 wounded
at Plevna.
The Standard's Bucharest special says:
GENERAL TODLBDEN’s OPINION
of tbe situation at Plevna has been laid
before the Grand Duke Nioholas. It is
understood to declare that seigeoperations
on the most extended scale are requisite
for the capture of the place.
RUSSIAN MATTERS.
The Czarowitoh visited Gorney Studen
Saturday to relinquish the command of
the left flank and resume command of the
Imperial Guards.
The second Turkish convoy for Plevna
returned to Orkani, the Roumanian cav
alry having captuied eight wagons of
grain.
The Grand Duke Nioholas has liver
complaint.
2,000 TURKISH WAGONS ENTER PLEVNA.
London, Ootober 1.—The first Turkish
convoy whioh entered Plevna, consisted
of two thousand wagons. The number
of wagons in tbe seoond oonvoy are not
reported.
RUSSIANS AT SEA BEFORE PLEVNA.
The correspondent says of tbe Russians
before Plevna ; They seem completely
at sea. They have no plan, no idea, no
head. They are waiting for reinforce
meDts, which are arriving slowly, and
whioh, when all here, will hardly more
than cover their losses by battle and sick
ness during the last two months. I think
history offers no suoh example of a splem
did army in such an utterly helpless con
dition. Suleiman Pasha is fortifying at
Shipka Pors apparently with tbe inten
tion of wintering there.
OSMAN pasha’s REPORTED VICTORY.
London, Ootober 1.—This morning’s
Standard publishes the following special
dispatoh:
Sofia, Sunday Evening, Sept. 30.
Trustworthy information has been re
ceived here that Osman Pasha has re
pulsed tho Russo'Koumaniau attack ou bis
front and left inflicting heavy losses. It
is said that be attocked tho Russians on
the Lovatz road and recovered several po
sitions. This seems to agree with the re
port published iu Constantinople news
papers yesterday that Osman Pasha had
defeated the Roumanians beforo Plevna,
but there is no more reason to believe one
than tho other. The Standard's details
resemble the fight of September 11th to
13th, remarkably as to Imeperial Guard
uumbering 50,000 said to bo duo before
Plevna by the 5th inst. It is highly im
probable that the Russians have made a
general assault without them.
RUSSIA DECLARES MEDIATION IMPOSSIBLE.
Paris, October 1.—Tho Russian Tele
graphic Ageucy prints a Bucharest dis
patch, which declares mediation is impos
sible. A solution of the question between
Russia and Turkey must be sought for on
the battlefield. Diplomacy may inteivene
late. The same dispatch says General
Todleben succeeds General Zotoff as
chief of staff to tho Prince of Roumania
before Plevna.
HUNGARIAN LEGION BUSINESS.
London, October 1 —A letter from
General Klapka is published, touching
the rumors that he is one of the leaders
of a movement to form a Hungarian legion
in Transybrauia to act in conjunction with
a Turkish corps to destroy tbe Roumanian
railways. He knows nothing of that
affair, and if he had known of it during
his recent sojourn in Hungary would have
dissuaded the country from such.

CONSEQUENT DISEASES.
London, Ootober 1.—The Times' Ma
dras correspondent, reviewing tbe actual
effeotB in that Presidency of the famine
and diseases consequent on the famine,
says tbe registered deaths of tbe present
year up to the end of Juno were 370,000
above the average. This, according to
the opinion of tho district officers, does
not represent more than two-tbirds of the
actual mortality, and we have further to
add to the deaths which have occurred
since and have not yet been officially re
ported. The correspondent's conclusion
iB that not Iobs than 750,000 persons have
fallen victims, and even these figures will
probably be largely increased before the
famine and its after wave of suffering has
finally passed.

A COLORADO CARDIFF UVANT.
WHAT MB. CON ANT 19 REPORTED -TO HAVE
DUO UP NEAR PUEBLO—A STONE IMAGE OF
THE MISSING LINK.
The Pueblo (Col.) Chieftain says : “A
few months since Mr. W. A. Conaut, who
has been traveling in the region of coun
try lying southwest of Pneblo, botween
this city and Mace’s Hole, discovered a
variety of fossils, among others a sea
turtle in an excellent state of preserva
tion. Mr. Oonant oalled tbe attention of
tbe newspaper press of tbe State to bis
discovery, and considerable comment was
elicited. The matter gradually passed
from the atteutiou of the public, though
Mr. Conant determined to search further
in tbe same locality, with the hope of
making additional discoveries. On Tues
day he arrived iu the city, bringing with
him a large stone figure of n man, whioh
he had unearthed at the head of a long,
dry arroya about Bix miles north of
the residence of P. K. Dotson, Esq.,
about twenty-five miles from tbe oity.
The figure was found imbedded in very
hard olay, requiring vigorous use of a
pick to looseu it. A oedar tree grew
□ear by, one of tbe roots of whioh had
grown between the arm and the body
of tho figure, making it necessary to
cat the root before removing the statae
from the bed in whioh it had doabtless
reposed for centuries. Mr. Conant Btates
that while sitting on the ground, eating
his lunch in the looality above mentioned,
his attention was attracted to a ourions
looking stone protruding from the ground.
He removed tbe earth from around it,
and found a resemblance to a human
foot. He then proceeded to dig away tho
olay about a foot iu depth, aud soou un
covered the entire figure, and, having ch
ained assistance, brought it to this oity.
Unfortunately, in removing the figure
from its bed, a wooden lever was placed
under the neok and the head broken oil'.
It has, however, been neatly replaced. At
first the disoovery was supposed to be tbe
petrified body of ahutnan beingof gigantic
stature, but closer examination proves it
to be a piece of sculpture ; but by whom
exeouted or to what age it belongs no one
seems to kuow. It is composed of a sort
slate rock, colored a dirty yellow on
tbe outside, possibly from contact with
the surrounding clay, aud represents a
man reclining, one arm being crossed
over his breaHt and tbe other lying along
his side with the hand resting on h% leg.
The position iB easy and natural. Tbe en
tire length of the statue is 7 feet 6 inches;
length of arm, 4 feet 1 inch; breadth
aoross the shoulders, 2 feet; length
of band 12j inches; length of foot,
13 inches. The weight of the
figure is about 450 pounds. Tbe type of
the human race represented is a strange
one. The head, which is turned slightly
to one Aide, as is natural in a reclining
position, is of tho Asiatic type—a sort
of cross between an aucient Egyptian and
an Amorioan Indian, the cheek bones be*
ing remarkably prominent. The figure
is spare and thin, much like the men in
anoient Egyptian pictures, while tbe whole
body is covered with indentations. One
remarkable feature which strikes the ob
server is tbe greAt length of the armH and
the ape like appearance of the hands and
feet. The band which rests on the leg,
if the arm was straightened, would reach
to the knee, while the feet are long, flat
and slim, aud tbe groat toes About two in*
ohes shorter than those in tho middle of
the feet. At the end of tho backbone is
tail about two or three inches long,
strougly suggestive of the truth of tho
Darwinian theory. The fignre was at
Nyberg & Ricker’s stables all day on Tues
day, and was visited by hundreds of our
citizens. There is considerable excite
ment here over the discovery, and a gen
eral desire on the part of all to hear the
opinion of some scientist with regard to
the origin of this ourions work of art.
There can be no question about tbe gen
uineness of this piece of statuary. The
stone shows the effects of time, and the
circumstances of the disoovery are such ss
to preclude anything like a repetition of
the clumsy Cardiff Giant frand.”
