The New York Tribune of Saturday says:
“Our citizens will be surprised to bear
that on Thursday evening next they will
have the pleasure of welcoming Mr.
Charles O’Conor back again to his active
dutiea in the metropolis. For many days
Mr. O’Conors life hung upon a thread,
and the value in which that life was held
was strikingly shown by the morning and
evening bulletins of bis condition which
were issued by the daily journals of this
city for several weeks. His coming
among ns again after all hope of bis re-
covery had been abandoned seems utmost
like a return from the dead."
Indian Tbodbles.—Apprehensions are
expressed that tbe Sioux, Cheyennes and
Arrapahoes are preparing for war. It is
fair to conclude that white men, who
filled the heads of the Sioux with big
figures at tbe time of the negotiations
for the Black Hills country, are at tbe
bottom of these troubles. We cannot
hope to avoid trouble with the Indians
while we deal with them as foreign pow
ers, and thus dealing with them violate
our own treaties. _
How far Europe is from the millenium
may be judged from the announcement
made by a competent authority that
seven miUion of men are, or soon will be,
under arms on the continent. Bussia is
to have two million, Franco and Germany
a million and a half each, Austria and
. Italy a million each. The English are
reorganizing their army, and the feasi
bility of conscription or compulsory mili
tary service is being seriously discussed
I by the leading English journals.

The Disruption of the Cabinet.
* It; is now pretty well understood
that there is soon to be a reorganization
of the Cabinet. Recent events have
rendered the personal relations of Grant
t.nd his adherents with Bristow and Jew
ell extremely disagreeable. Bristow has
been too zealous and uncompromising in
his prosecution of tbe whisky frauds,
having like a sleuth hound pursued the
guilty leaders of the conspiracy into
the very White He use. Jewell, too, has
proved troublesome to the Grant and
Shepherd ring. He has had notions of
managing the Post Office Department on
business principles, and notwithstand
ing the unworthy concessions he has
made to Grant and the Post Office rob
bers, he is still too much of a reformer to
suit their purposes. Having fallen es
pecially into disfavor with Boss Shepherd,
who, not long since, pronounced him “a
damned bob-tail clam Yankee,” he is
doomed, and is to be executed at the
same time ^ith Bristow. According to
a Washington dispatch, these changes, to
gether with the withdrawal of Poker
Schenck, who has played out in London,
give Grant an opportunity of providing
for Messrs. Fish and Pierrepont in a way
more tatisfactory to himself. If Mr.
Fish is willing to take the English mis
sion, Pierrepont will be Secretary of
State: if Fish prefers to remain here,
Pierrepont will be sent to London. The
latter is the more probable thing of the
two. The schedule of the reconstructed
Cabinet now stands as follows :
Secretary of State—Hamilton Fish.
Secretary of the Treasury—Zachariah
Chandler.
Postmaster General—Alexander Ram
say.
Attorney General—Geo. H. Williams.
Secretary of the Interior—Alphonso
N. Taft, of Ohio.
Minister to Eugland—Edwards Pierre
pont.
It is suggested that there may be
some change in this schedule. Zach
Chandler’s appointment to the head of
the Treasury Department is considered
certain, though Landaulet Williams’s re
turn to the Department of Justice is
thought to depend on the result of the
Babcock trial. If he succeeds in rescu
ing the President's pet secretary from
just punishment he will receive his re
wind in his restoration to the position
which he not long since, for prudential
reasons, resigned. It is believed that the
Senate which confirmed Billings, will not
hesitate to confirm Williams and Chand
ler. #»
General Gideon J. Pillow has publish
ed a statement of his affairs, in which he
saxsthat the suit which compelled him
to file a petition in bankruptcy was
brought for a seizure of coal in Memphis
ordered by him while in command of the
Confederate forces of Tennessee. That
State has thus far refused to assume the
judgment rendered against him, and an
entire loss of the little property the
General saved from the war will probably
be tha result.
The Louisville Ijedqcr states the case
truly when it says the Babcock defense is
being conducted just as a sharp criminal
lawyer would conduct the defense of a
thief who, though guilty, depended upon
legal technicalities to escape punishment.
Enough has been established to satisfy
the country at large that he was connect
ed with the ring, and if the jury acquit
him they can only give him his freedom.

THE PENITENTIARY BILL
passed the Houso to-day as amended by the
Senate, and is one of the most important
bills of the session. It is very voluminous,
and thoroughly reorganizes the convict
labor and prison policy of the State, and
provides for a penal island on the sea coast.
“Scribner” Abroad.—The London Lit
erary World says: “If Scribner's Monthly
is not taking root in Eugland it says little
for the taste of John Bull, or his power
to appreciate literary and artistic excel

Scribner for January is a number of
great brilliancy. The first two articles
give graphic sketches of America as she
was a hundred years ago, and are appro
priate to the year on which we have now
entered, when onr Transatlantic kinsmen
are about to celebrate their centennial.
Those who are engaged in house
furnishing ought to read the pa
per on ‘beds and tables, stools and
candlesticks’, which will give them many
a useful hint. Edward Everett Hale’s
new story, ‘ Philip Nolan’s Friends,’
promises to be a good sample of the his
torical novel, illustrating an important
chapter in the annals of the Great Re
public. It is evidently the product of a
conscientious and well equipped writer—
of one, moreover, who shows how to be
solidly instructive without being dull.
The political, social and literary notes at
the end are charged with fresh informa
tion, acute criticism, and genuine humor.
We have nothing like them in any of our
English magazines.”
The London Saturday llevieir, speak
ing of the illustrations from Scribner's

any eook published in England, wood
engravings, of the same minuteness, and
precision, and beauty, as are here to be
seen on every page.”

TO DEMOCRATS AND CONSERVATIVES.
Washington, February 23.—The National
Democratic Committee, to whom is dele
gated the power of fixing the time and place
for holding the National Democratic Con
vention of 1876, have appointed Tuesday,
the 27th day of June next, noon, as the
time, aud selected St. Louis as the place of
holding such convention. Each State is
entitled to a representation equal to double
the number of its Senators and Representa
tives in the Congress of the United States,
and the Territory of Colorado, whose ad
mission in July ’as a State will give it
a vote in tho next electoral college,
also invited to tend delegates to the
convention. Democratic, conservative, and
other citizens of the United States, irre
spective of past political associations, who
desire to co-operate with tho Democratic
party in its present efforts aud objects, are
cordially invited to join in sending delegates
to the National Convention. Co-operation
is desired from all persons who would change
an administration that has suffered the pub
lic credit to become aud remain inferior to
other and less favored nations—has per
mitted our commerce to bo taken away by
foreign powers—has stilled trade by unjust,
unequal and penurious legislatiou—im
posed unusual taxes—has changed growing
prosperity to widespread suffering and
want—has squandered the public moneys
recklessly aud defiantly, and shamdessly
used power that should have been swift to
punish crime to protect it. For these and
other reasons the National Democratic par
ty deem the public danger imminent, and.
earnestly desirous of securing to our country
the blessing of an economical, pure and
free government, cordially invite the
co-operation of their follow citizens in an
effort to attain this object.

THE CONNECTICUT DEMOCRATS.
New Haven, February 23.—The Demo
cratic State Convention nominated its old
officers.
The Democratic Liberal party of Con
necticut, in convention assembled, pledge
themselves anew to the principles which
they have repeatedly adopted, and which
tho people of this State have approved.
The Constitution and Union shall be main
tained, with tho supremacy of the civil over
the military authority, aud we demand for
the individual the largest liberty consistent
with public order, for the State self-gov
ernment, and for the methods of peace a
constitutional limit of power.
Second. Reform in the civil service.
Third. The public credit of the Union
must be maintained.
Fourth. The public lands to bo kept for
settlers, and subsidies to corporations to
cease.
Fifth. Complimenting the Democrats of
the House for reducing appropriations.
Sixth. The only currency known to the
Constitution of tho United States is gold
and silver, and coin forms the only stable
basis for the commercial necessities of the
world. The Democratic party of the United
States has never failed to recognize aud
support this essential principle; but, follow
ing a great and costly war, we find an irre
deemable currency at our doors. It is there
fore the duty of Congress to adopt such
measures as shall load to an early resump
tion of specie payment, while guarding its
acts by that prudence which the interests ot
the commercial, manufacturing and indus
trial pursuits imperatively demand.
Seventh, 'lne repeal of the resumption
act passed by the Republicans as a mere act
of party expediency on their part.
Eighth. That this convention having
confidence in tho ability and integrity of
the Senators and Representatives in Con
gress from this State, rely on such action at
their hands as will aid in placing the
Onances of the country upon the constitu
tional basis.
The New York Daily Bulletin in a re
view of the population, valuation of pro
perty, taxation and indebtedness of tbe
State?, makes the following summary,
which is applicable to the States alone,
exclusive of tbe indebtedness of the gen
eral government, and the taxes paid for
its support:
from I860 to 1875 :
Population has increased 41.1‘J percent.
Valuation has increased 46.48 4 ‘
Taxes have increased 158 44 “
Debts have increased £7.99 “
This is the average exhibit for the
whole country. If the South were viewed
alone, its per centage of increase of in
debtedness and of taxation would appear
much greater. But high taxes is the
canker that is eating out the substance of
the country. They are at the bottom of
the public distress. The demand must
be for retrenchment, and for the diminu
tion of taxation.
In San Francisco the exciting question
at present is the increase of silver coin
and its alarming’ effects on commercial
transactions. The Produce Exchange
has decided, after a full examination,
that all transaotions hereafter must be on
a gold basi8,_and the majority of the
merchants have united in an agreement
not to receive silver coin, except at the
current rate of discount.

THK DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS COMMITTEE.
Washington, February 23.—The Demo
cratic Caucus Committee held an adjourned
meeting to-day on the financial question,
but, arriving at no conclusion, adjourned to
meet on Friday. The members of the com
mittee say they are under an injunction of
secrecy regarding their proceedings, and,
therefore, are not at liberty to communicate
specific information on the subject further
tuan to assert that all the members are de
sirous of harmonizing their opinion u
view of the political as well as financial
importance of the question ; that
| the delay in arriving at a con
clusion arises from a fear that
lif a platform be prepared to satisfy the hard
money men those of contrary opinions may
»ney
be placed at a disadvantage* in certain
States. The proposition of Representative
Payne, on which, as a basis, the committee
are still engaged, does not, however, design
interfering with the present volume of cur
rency, hut merely requires the Secretary of
the Treasury and tho national banks, re
spectively, to reserve a certain per cent
age of gold from year to year and take
a step in advance of specie pay
ments, leaving time and circumstances to
produce general resumption. In view of
such a proposition the repeal of so much
of the BDecie resumption act as fixes the
1st of June, 1879, for this purpose, becomes
necessary. Even if the committee should
not harmonize on general questions they
would consider tho repeal of that clause
more advantage to the country than its re
tention, all agreeing *hat the resumption of
specie payments at that time is impractica-

A Mobmon Tabernacle in Brooklyn.
—It seems that Plymouth Church is to
have a rival institution. It is announced
that a Mormon Tabernacle is to be erected
in Brooklyn to he used by the society of
the Latter Day Saints in that city. The
New York conference of Mormons, which
includes branches in Brooklyn, Hunting-
ton, N. J., and Pottsville, Pa., new has
nearly two hundred members.
About two years ago my wife had a very
troublesome cough of so serious a character
that we all became very anxious; indeed it
seemed that we had but little to hope for as
the lungs were affected. Wo tried various
medicines, but very little if any benefit
seemed to be derived from any of them; so
that it appeared the disease had complete
mastery and nothing but death would bring
relief. * I was then advised to give Dr. D.
Jayne’s Expectorant a trial, and doing so, to
our surprise, found great benefit from its
use. Persisting with it, she gradually com
menced improving until the principal symp
toms disappeared entirely, and she has en
joyed reasonably good health ever since.—
