TII-Pinc; Me WlltE-v As „„ ^Dticipatcd, the extraordinary general Tnrki.h Council, with an extract umary unanimity, has rejected the pro posals ot the powtrB. Neither tho diein terated magnanimity ol England, the suave approaches of France, the broad utterance- of Germany, or tho subhmo impudence of Russia has raffled a feather of the ancient bird, lnd 6be Itas at last spread her tail contempt of ah the uneducated barn yard fowls who sought to gather crumbs from her territory. And now, the great question which agitates tho European gleaned from the English press, i Russia going to do about it ? It is amusing to watch and catch the float ing opinions of tho great leaders of public mind, : What is sentiment in Europe, as developed by the S=Lo0 ‘ FuIld U wa5 fouud that he h “ d Li Dm nlip & ti/.it n ..i .1 complications of the Eastern question, which urkey has settled in a few momeuts. 19 it a disgrace to European diplomacy ? as the Uimes asseriB, or a master piece of policy on the part ol Russia? as the Standard hints. Is it Russia that is humbled or Eng- land that is Bnubbed ? Will war delight Germany and gratify France? The lime* says tne event of the refusal “will surprise nobody,” and yet the Times is so much snr- prised at it that it actually looks at the dis solution of the conference as no disso.ution but simply a new phase of a new conference, which will again interest itself in the husi ness or meddling with the private affairs of a distinct nationality. The Louisiana returning board, or at least two of them, who were arrested and brought before the bar of the House, are still in custody, comfortably quartered, it is true, at Willard’s, well fed and carefully provided for, but still in custody. Their cases will not be disposed of until the quar tette are brought together to answer for thoir contempt. They will probably recon sider their determination to thwart tho will of tho people, and will produce tho returns called for by tho investigating committee. I f not, let them suffer away from the allur- ing enticements of a first-class Washington hotel. The recusant telegraphers—Orton «fc Co., including Barnes—have melted, and will produce the political telegrams doinanded by tho investigating committees of Con gress. Upon this condition they have been released from tho requirements of their subpoena, and a sub-committee appointed from each branch to examine the telegrams displayed and report to their respective com mittees. From Eastern complications abroad, the return to complications at homo is by no means a violent transition. Tho bill re ported by the Joint Committee of the two Houses on tho count of the electoral vole! is the engrossing subject in political cir cles jnst now. Opinions differ as to its merits as a plan for settling tho Presiden tial contest. Our press dispatches say that it will undoubtedly pass, while our special cor respondent at Washington is of the opinion that it will fail. The fact is, when once a peo ple seek outside of constitutional methods the moans to quiet party strife, they enter upon a sea of uncertainties. How much eafer to steer by the old chart, to follow in the old well mapped channels, and thus avoid the rocks upon which nations have been wrecked in the past. If one Presi dential election can endanger the stability of tho government, how insecure and unsafe must that government be. Hereafter then let us look with less contempt upon our sister republic, Mexico. All the trouble and turmoil and disquiet now agitating the country has sprung from the key note which was touched in Congress yesterday. “Packard is a robber, and noth ing else.” Tho whole horde of carpet-bag gers are robbers, and nothing else. Every day proves it,and every honest politician sees and knows it. Sherman and Morton may give Packard and his co-laborers a charac ter, but neither Morton’s State, Indiana, or Sherman’s State, Ohio, would for a moment submit to have such a man, under like cir cumstances, rule over them. Their en dorsement is therefore false and insincere on its very face. Tho Georgia Legislature is getting at its work in right down earnest and possibly after next Monday, whenjibe Senatorial con test is decided, the wheels of legislation will run smoothly in the rountine ruts. We suppose every member has a bill or bills to present, many of which will never §ee the light of luminous debate, but.thcro are im portant questions to be handled, and there are experienced members enough in both branches to see to it that the commonwealth does not suffer through too much legisla tion. The gratifying news reaches us from Washington that the work on tho improve ment of tho Savannah harbor is to be re sumed and prosecuted to tho extent of the unexpended appropriation made by the last Congress for that purpose. Hod. Julian Hartridge, our immediate Bepresentative, has given himself to this important work with the above result; and he will woxk for an appropriation by tho present Congress to carry it successfully forward. The resolutions of the Pennsylvania Leg islature upon the present condition of af fairs were presented to the Senate yesterday by Senator Cameron, and ordered printed. We are unable to judge of their scope by the meagre dispatches of the Associated Press, but inasmuch as they emanate from a super latively partisan body, they are without doubt expressions of such partisanship. From > assau. By the steamer Leo, Captain Daniels, arrived here from Nassau yesterday, we are in receipt of files of tho Guardian and Times to the 13th inst. The papers contain no news of interest. His Excellency, the Governor of New Providence, has filled the vacancy in the Legislative Council occasioned by the death of the Hon. C. K. Nesbitt, by ap pointing Alexander James Thompson, Esq., Provost Marshal, to be a member of the upper house of that body. They dis pense with returning boards in the British colonies. The salvage on the sugar saved from the wreck of the American schooner Matoaka, hoe been settled at $2 3ii per bag, and I53J per cent, on the Teasel's ma terials. , , , , The Guardian is pleased to learn that nearly three thousand Liabon lemon trees have been planted in that colony since the beginning of last year. One thousand more trees will be planted ny Mr. H. It. Sanders in the spring. The same paper says : “Tne expecta tions entertained a few years ago with re- HDeet to the cultivation of tho O.ne in this colony are not hkely to be realized.

A Specimen of Louisiana Carpet-Bag Jn>tice. Stealiug, robbery, and the coudoning of crimes by those high in authority are common things among the favored in the Southern carpet-bag governments. A case in point has recently been devel oped in Louisiana—a case which secured to Kellogg his pretended election to the United States Senate. Dave Young is a notorious Republican politician. He is an ignorant negro, but is possessed of shrewdness and cuunmg. He has seve ral times been a member of the Legisla ture of Louisiana, and is now a member of the Keliogg Senate. The facts below recited were taken from the testimony of reliable witnesses given before the Congressional Committee. In 1875, after Young had served two terms in the House, and had effected through cor rupt means his election as State Senator, the people, white and black, becoming tired of his mismanagement of parochial affairs, determined to proceed against him judicially. Accordingly his manage ment cf public moneys was looked into. In the capacity of Treasurer of the BY T EiMlPli Evening Telegrams. CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDING? THE MORNING NEWS. embezzled $51,000 in warrants, which Lad been disposed of for $31,000 in cash. The facts were immediately presented to tbe grand jury (composed largely of ne groes;. and an indictment was found agamst Young. The money which he ap propriated had been collected by tax ation from the people for school pur poses, and though a school house was buiit.no school was opened in the parish. The charge or indictment remained against Young until very recently, with out anything being done. He used his influence as Senator to prevent a trial, and as the Judg j was a Republican, this was not very difficult to do, for Young controlled the patronage of tbe parish, and would have had tbe judiciary changed to meet bis views if the Judge had not favored his cause. Young, hearing that Kellogg was getting ready to go to the United States Senate, and that Warmoth was looming up as dangerous competitor, started the rumor that he favored the aspirations of Warmoth and intended to vote for him. Of course this rumor reached Kellogg, causing him much uneasiness, as he feared You ig’s influence with tho colored mem bers of the Legislature. Young was ac cordingly sent fur, and after a long con versation with the Governor, changed his views entirely, and is now a pronounced Kellogg man. The Warmoth wing of the party were at a loss to account for this sudden change until a few days later, when a Natchez paper solved the mys tery by publishing the following dispatch: New Obleans, December 18, 1876. lion S. T. Austin, District Attorney, Vi- dalia, Concordia Paiish: From representations made, I am led to believe charges against Young are measureubly groundless. If consistent with your duties, I Lope you will relieve him from prosecution now pending. Wm. Pitt Kellogg. The very same day the District Attor ney, after reading this dispatch in open court, entered a nolle prosequi in the case of the State vs. David Young for embez zlement Strong opposition was made to this proceeding, but it was of no avail. Dave Young wes declared innocent, and voted to make Kellogg a United States Senator. Brother Orville After His Share of the Spoils. Orville Grant has turned up again. The last we beard of this enterprising member of tbe tan-yard dynasty, was some month or two ago, when he was fished out of the gutter somewhere in a state of beastly intoxication. Now be turns up as plaintiff in a case in the Cir cuit Court at St. Louis, having brought suit against one P. W. Scimeider, claim ing damages in the sum of $75,000 for alleged breach of contract. The petition alleges that in Match, 1873, he entered into an agreement with defendant, that as soon as certain contracts submitted by defendant to the government containing proposals to far- nish graLite for the Custom House in St. Louis should be signed, that the plaintiff was to go to St. Louis and take charge of tbe outside work, and manago the finan cial affairs pertaining to said contracts with the government, for which he was to receive $5,000 per annum as salary and ten per cent, of the profits on this and other contracts plaintiff might bo in strumental in procuring; that plaintiff did proceed to St. Louis and took charge of th9 business as agreed upon, but a few days afterward defendant denied the con tract with plaintiff and Las since refused to pay him any part of the amount agreed upon ; therefore he prays tho court for judgment in the above sum. It would seem that Schneider had se cured brother Orville’s influence to aid him in procuring a fat government con tract, by a liberal bribe, which he now refuses to pay. The Republican says there is every prospect of entertaining and surprising developments in the pro gress of the suit. Testimony in the case will have, it may be said, a national in terest.

A curious fact has been brought to light, by a Turkish correspondent of Harper s Wetkly. He says the Czar Nich olas visited England incognitus just piiar to the Ciimean war, and from association with the mercantile and manufacturing class came to tbe conclusion that the English were willing to sacrifice every thing for peace and ease and prosperity. He left England as Colonel on a Dutch vessel and boarded a Russian man- of-war, on which he entered one of the British harbors and was received with all the honors due to the Imperial master of all the Russian. Returning to Russia with the erroneous impression that Eng land would not have war because of her commerce, he brought on the Crimean war, which resulted so disastrously. The correspondent claims that this is a State secret never before divulged and vouches for its accuracy. John Brun, a well known and popular youDg man, a salesman in the employ of Mantone A Co., of Charleston, committed suicide in Charleston, South Carolina, on Washington, D. C., January 19.—Senators and memters are decidedly reticent with reference to the proposed plan for tho elec toral count. Oat of thirty odd interviewed* to-day by your correspondent, only about half a dozen would express an opin ion. In each instance these were adverse and from Democrats; They regard tho arrangement as a species of gambling in which they confess the Republicans hold palpabably the winning hand. It is veiy doubtful if the plan will bo endorsed by tho House. Proctor Knott declares that it is the auctioning off the form of government established by oar forefathers. The arrest of the Louisiana returning board, and threats about Chandler and others on tho one Laid, embitter tho Re publicans, and allegations of chicanery and trickery as a means to obtain their end by the Republicans, maddens the Democrats. Day by day tho breach widens, and a com promise becomes less possible. The people of Savaunnah h ive cause to re joice. After a perse vering endeavor, Mr. Har - ridge finally yesterday induced President Grant to order the immediate resumption of the improvement work on tho Savannah harbor, to the full extent of the unexpended balance of the appropriation, and Mr. Cart ridge in the meanwhile has introduced a bill providing for a further appropriation. Your correspondent saw tho official letter of tho Secretary of War on tho subject, written yesterday, and there is, therefore, no mis take about tho matter. fare, as \ Wednesday last. The Joint Committee Compromise. The Washington telegraphic corres pondent of the Richmond Dispatch., speaking of the bill of the joint commit tee creating a tripartite commission to act with both houses of Congress in counting the electoral vote, after giving a history of the measure, the main features of which were first suggested by the House, but which was brought to a final conclusion by a process of dove-tailing between the committees, says : “The members of the committee are generally confident thut the bill will be passed by’ both houses. Bayard and Hewitt are particularly sanguine. They say that it leaves it absolutely uncertain which man will be declared to have been elected, or whether either candidate has received a majority of the electors ap pointed, and that any bill which did not leave these points uncertain could not be agreed on. It does not at all touch the right of the House to elect a President in case neither candidate proves to have received a majority, and concedes to Congress the right to pass finally upon all returns and to reject them upon a concurrent vote. The plan treats the two houses as exactly co equal in power, or rather treats their power as a dual power, which they hold conjointly, and cannot exercise individually. It is certain, however, that the bill will meet with very strong opposition from mem bers of both parties. Proctor Knott and some other prominent Democrats are strongly opposed to any tribunal which recognizes the right of anybody but the Congress to settle the whole question. The extreme Republicans, on the other hand, will object to it for the same reason that a trickster objects to playing with any but marked cards, because they do not wish to play anything but a sure game. _ ‘The result of the outcome of the de liberations of the committee is accepted as a victory of the more modified men of both parties over the extremists. There are, indeed, few who like it. It places the judicial ermine in a position which is bound to meet the assaults of which ever party may bo disappointed. There are Democrats, and extreme ones, who find very gTeat comfort in the abandon ment of tbe position that the president of the Senate has the vested right to count the vote aud declare the lesult. This is a concession which men of the stamp of Morton, Garfield and Hale don’t like. “The best feature of the plan is that they don’t like it, Grant don’t like it, nor does the administration organ. The bill seems to have been agreed upon not be cause it has satisfactory features, but be cause it is about the only plan the com mittees could unite upon, and more so, because under it the powers of tho two houses in settling the dispute are equally recognized.” CONGRESSIONAL. Washington, January 19.—Iu the Senate, Mr. Cameron, of Pennsylvania, presented the resolution recently adopted by tbe Pennsylvania Legislature, declaring that the will of the people iu tbe election of a Presi dent and Y.ce President can only be de clared in the manner prescribed in the Con stitution, and denouncing any threats of violence, or attempt to cast cut the elec toral vote of any State by either House of Congress, and farther that the certificates of electors from tho various States are the constitutional evidence of the votes cast for President and V-ce President, and must be counted. It was ordered to be printed aud lie upon tbe table. A motion was made to adjourn to Monday. Mr. Edmunds said if the bill reported by the select committee yesterday should be come a law, tbe first act to bn done under it most te done a week from Tuesday. The .Senate should take the bill up to morrow, so that by next Tuesday they might either de stroy it by manly blows or press it, and not destroy it, smothering it, or postponing in conside:ation. He hoped tbe Senate would not adjourn over. The motion was with drawn. Louisiana affairs were discussed at great length by Sherman and Bogy, during which the galleries were cleared on account ot demonstration of applause. Sherman de fended ihe action of the returning board, aud quoted irom the testimony to sbo.v that violence and intimidation did exist during the canvass,and the board was justi fied In throwing out certain returns. He argued that the ex parte testimony pre sented by the Senator from Miesonri did cot show tt at violence did not exist. Tbe Senator, Mr. Bogy, had spoken against Pack ard, and that was not right. Packard was a man of character and standing. What had be done? Had he murdered and robbed ? Mr. Bogy—He has robbed! robbed! robbed! and done nothing else. Mr. Sherman was surprised to hear such a remark from the Senator. Mr. Bogy said the character of Packard in New Orleans was that ot an infamous robber. (Great applause in the galleries on the right of the Chair.) Mr. Sherman, after regretting the ne cessity of clearing the gallenee, referred to Louisiana again, and said ho did not know Mr. Packard, but he had beard him spoke of as a man of honor. When a Senator on the floor of the Senate arraigned a Governor of a State as infamous he abused his privilege as a Senator. Mr. Bogy—I do not admit that be is Gov ernor. Mr. Morton of Indiana, said he regretted to hesr the Senator from Missouri speak as he did about Gov. Packard. He (Mr. Morton) was not under any personal cr political ob ligations to Governor Packard, but Le was somewhat familiar wiih Louisiana affairs, aud he bad never heard him spoken of as a man cf bad character either as a politician, in society or in business. Among tbe jobs heard of in Louisiana duriDg the past five years, Packard was never men tioned as being interested in any of them. He spoke at length of Louisiana affairs. Re ferred to tbe difficulties at Mechanics Insti tute, Couehatta parish, etc., and argued that violence and intimidation had prevailed iu Louisiana for years. The Senate went into executive session aud adjourned. House.—Wells and Anderson were pre sented at the bar of tbe House, but their cases were postponed till the arrival of the other members of the board. The day was devoted to private bills. WASHINGTON NOTES. Washington, January 19.—Tbe Executive Committee of the Western Union Telegraph Company appeared before the House Com mute on Privileges and Powers, and were released fr jra their tub; ceua upon produc ing a resolution of their body directing that all dispatches of a political character should bo produced. A committee of three was ap pointed to act with a like Committee of Privileges aDd Elections of the Senate, to arrange tho details for the examination of these dispatches. Telegraph superintend ents, managers aud opciators who are here or en route will Le discharged upon putting in an appearance. The House will pass a resolution discharg ing Barnes, the New Orleans manager, who is in custody fur contempt. There seems no doubt about the pas-a ;e of the bill reported by tbe joint committee ou counting tbe electoral vote. Nominations—John E. Hamilton for at torney for the Ken.ueky district. The first half million ha3 been awarded to Eades for the jetties. Before the Committee of Privileges and Elections Col. Pehon had no recollection of sending a dispatch to Senator Kelly that Oregon would be depended on for one vote. The Comraitt e appointed a sub commit tee to examine the telegiams in connection with the House Committee. The evidence of Superintendent Brenven before the committee on privi ; eges aud power -, was co.ifined[toltbo mann r of hand ling dispatches, bo was discharged. THE ENGLISH VIEW’ OF THE ACTION OF THE PORTE. London, January 19.—The Standard says: We aie not sure that the decision of the Council is who. The proposals had been reduced so far that it is uncertain they would not have been further softened had the Porte consented to discuss them. The question now is, What will Russia do, defied by tho Porte after minimizing her demands again and again? Will she eat tbe words of the Moscow- speech, with draw her mammoth mobilized regiments, and preserve tbe peace? There are signs pointing in that direction. All our intelli gence is to the effect that the enthusiasm for war has cooled down, and the public are waking up to a sense of the risks of an invasion of Turkey. The pre-Bs Bc-em to bo preparing the public mind for a retreat, by representing the failure of the conference as a defeat not of Russia, but of England. Possibly, all this weakness is assumed. At any rste, it is certain that the work of mobilization shows no slackness. Midnight Telegrams THE LIVERPOOL WEEKLY COTTON MARKET. INCREASE OF REVENUE FRAUDS. COJIHfNT OF 1.K4D1XG JOURNALS*. THE MASSACHUSETTS DELEGATION PETITIONED. A QUOTATION FK03I BURKE'S* THE LEADING JOURNALS ON THE PUN FOR COUNTING THE ELECTORAL VOTE. Washington, Januaiy 19.—Tbe press seems to be a s,ood deal divided iu opinion npon the merits of the compromise measure reported by the conference committee npon the electoral vote. In a general way the most decided opposition to it may be said to come from Republican papers. Ihe New York Times and Tribune take very positive ground against it as unconstitutional and a Republican surrender, etc. The Herald, however, warmly endorses it, and is confident that the patriotic men m all parts of the country will be disposed to seek for the merits and to pass over the defects in the plan, if defects it should prove :o have. The World (De nocratic) docs not give an unqualified endorsement of the plan, but thinks the country will hail with delight at any action on the part of Con gress which goes to show that the figbtfol condition of the people is at last getting itself recognized by persons who are sect to Wa-hmgton to look alter the welfare of their constituents aud of the republic. Tbe New York Express (Dcm.) thinks the plan will prove a peaceful solu tion of tbe greatest political evil that has ever threatened tbe country apart from civil war. Tbe New York Post (independent) says the plan will give great satisfaction to the country, aud that the wisest course fcr the Senate and House of Representatives is to adont it as it comes from the committee without un necessary delay. The Philadelphia Tele graph, Independent, thinks the plan is one tbai will give entire satisfaction to all fair minded men of all parties. Tho Boston Herald, Independent, says the country wants peace, and* the sooner a plan of this kind is adopted the better. The Springfield Republican, Independent, thinks the plan will command the support of the country, aud even more so if it proves that a bitter Republican partisan like Morton or a Demo crat like Springer dissents from it. The Baltimore papers, without distinction of party, give moderate favor to tho plan. In Washington the party papers oppose it, tho Republican and Chronicle on the Republican side, and the Union on tbe Democratic side. The Nation, independent, favors it. PROTECTING THE REVENUE. Washington, January 19.—The Cabinet to-day had under consideration an official statement from the Commissioner of Inter nal Revenue, saying that there is an im mense increase of frauds upon the revenue by the illicit distillation of spirits, and great difficulty iu enforcing the revenue laws in several Southern States, particularly in Northern Alabama, aud Georgia and North Carolina. Great frauds in tbe manu facture of tobacco in North Carolina are also icported. In order to assist the reve nue officers to enforce the laws troops are requested, and, after consultation between the Pres dent and Secretary of the Treasury at the Cabinet meeting to-day, an order was sent, by direction of the President, to the General ot the army to put the necessary instructions to the commander of the De partment cf the South for that purpose. COL. BURKS QUOTED. Washington, January 19.—Colonel E. A. Burks, who has just arrived from New Or leans, is thus quoted : “Tbe people of Loui siana are not so wanting iu respect for the chief magistrate as to suggest that he could be influenced in his action by any considerations personal to himself or family, and Colonel Casey has never intimated to any member of ihe Nicholls’ government that he ha3 any as pirations for Democratic honors. As a matter of fact Colonel Burk says : “Casey was formerly a merchant in New Orleans, owns property, and has many friends, and has not been classed as a partisan Republi can of Louisiana.” 2Uir Adwtisnarnts.

Bailey was elected to the short term on the seventy- third ballot. The Mystery Explained.—We never could exactly understand why it was neiessary to send United States troops to Florida, South Carolina and Louisiana to see that there was a fair count of votes. The following dispatches from old Zach Chandler, sent the day after the election to Chamberlain, Kellogg and Stearns, throw a drummond light on that subject: “We are absolutely certain of one hun dred and eighty-five votes for Haves if your State is safe—and Tilden is sure of the rest. Can you certainly defeat all Democratic attempts by fraud, false counting, or bribery to capture it ? An swer when sure. Z. Chandler.” “Don’t give up your State until re motest returns come in.

C.” It is a most remarkable fact that old Zach forgot all about sending these im portant dispatches until they were read to him the other day by the House inves tigating committee. The Taxpayers of Louisiana Sustaining the Nicholls Government, The municipal government of New Or leans have anticipated General Grant in recognizing the Nicholls government as both de jure and de facto, and have de clared that the city’s share of tho police and school funds shall be paid to that government and no other. The money derived from the city of New 0: leans has been the principal if not the sole support of the Radical government for years, and i:ow that the supplies are cut off the Packaid pest-house menagerie will be soon starved out. The taxpayers of the interior of the State, too, like those of South Carolina, are coming promptly to the support of the legitimate government of their choice, and tho taxes are pouring in freely to the Nicholls treasury. Col. B. M. Johnson, a wealthy banker of Shreveport,and one of the largest taxpay ers of Caddo parish, was too ill to attend the taxpayers’ meeting held at the Shreveport Cotton Exchange a few days since,but he wrote a letter which was read at the meeting, saying that he believed it to be the duty of every good citizen to sustain Governor Nicholls, and that he wa3 ready and willing to pay if called upon five per cent., or fifty per cent., or one hundred per cent., of his taxes in advance to the legal government of Louisiana.

Treasurer Benfroe shows the consoli dated debt of the State of Georgia, cot yet due, to be $8,447,500, but in table F it appears that exclusive of the $600,000 disowned Bullock bonds of the Macon and Brunswick Railroad, and $194,000 more of the bonds of the Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad, also fraudulently endorsed by Bullock and repudiated, there are $2,688,000 of bonds endorsed legally, for which the State is bound. These consist of bonds cf the Macon and Brunswick Railroad, endorsed by Jenkins and Bullock % $1,950,000 240,000 nary for Letters of Administration on the es tate of Robert McLaughlin, late of said county, deceased. These are, therefore, to cite and admonish all whom it may concern to be and appear before said Court, to make objection (if any they have), on or before the FIRST MONDAY IN MARCH NEXT, otherwise said letters wiil be granted.
