Tbe voters of the First Senatorial Dis- trict, comprising the counties of Chat ham, Effingham and Bryan, who are in favor of a State Convention to draft new Constitution will support the fol lowing ticket’ at the polls on Tuesday next, June 12: ALEXANDER R. LAWTON, JOHN SCREVEN, W. T. THOMPSON, JOHN M. GUERARD, J. L. WARREN, WARING RUSSELL, A. G. SMITH, STEPHEN F. KELLER, FOR CONVENTION. TAPPING TI1E WIRES. The Standards Berlin correspondent be lieves that Germany, with the connivance of England, will advise Turkey to conclude peace as soon as possible, and it is stated that Russia has addressed a letter to the cabinets of England, Austria and Germany, Baying that she would agree to conclude a peace on the basis of the protocol, accepting accessions of territory in Asia Minor instead of indemnity. A cable dispatch from Paris gives what purports to be tbe substance of tbe letter ad dressed by Gortschakoff in reply to Lord Der by’s letter, from which it appears that Russia has made satisfactory answer to all the points contained in Lord Derby's communication namely : the intentions of Russia regarding the Suez canal, Egypt, Constantinople, the Dardanelles, and the Persian Gulf. The fire record yesterday shows most disastrous results. At Bridgeport, Conn, property to the value of $23,000 was destroyed and eleven men were killed, and at Galveston, Texas, a large portion of the business part of the oity was consumed, in volving the destruction of three millions of dollars worth of property. A fire in New Orleans has partially burned the block bounded by Carondelot,St. Charles, Phillips and First streets. Le Xord, which has intimate connection with the Russian Foreign Office, publishes an appeal about peace rumors, extracts of which show that Russia will not lay down her arms until Turkey is perfectly convinced of her isolation and inferiority, and tbe ab solute necessity of submitting to the con ditions she herself has rendered necessary. It was reported on the London Stock Ex change that England is about to pnrehase tbe founders’ shares in the Suez canal, but as nothing has trauBpired as a basis of this report, it is considered as a stock jobbing oanard to affect Egyptian securities. Twenty-eight of the thirty-three districts of Roumania have been placed under mar tial law. The necessity of the measure is statod to be because the civil law does not recognize capital punishment. The eldest son of Crosby S. Noyes, editor of the Washington Star, took five out of the eight gold medals awarded to successful students at the commencement exercises of Columbia University. The Department of Justice has ordered tbe District Attorney for the Southern Dis trict of Mississippi to investigate the killing of McClelland in what is called “the Kemper county massacre.” The concentration of pontoon trains in the neighborhood of Widin continues by the Russians, aud it is believed that the passage of the river will be attempted immediately. The Russian advance in Asia Minor is threatening communication between Erzj- ronm and Trebizond, and Moukhtar Pasha has sent a force to check this movement. The Turks are massing troops towards Nikopolis, and stirring news is expected from that vicinity. The Danube is only a half milo wide at that point. The trial of United States Deputy Mar shal Franks, of North Carolina, fotdefraud ing the government is abont being com menced at Washington. The extensive Boston rubber sales took place yesterday and prices ruled about fif teen per cent, below combination prices, and are satisfactory to manufacturers. The Cabinet has decided to pnsh the Mountain Meadows massacre prosecutions, and to send a sufficient force to Utah to en force the decree of the court. Tho entrance of Zimbrak&saki into the Greek Cabinet as Minister of War is regard ed as a warlike sign. He was a leader in the Cretan insurrection. The Pali Mall Gazette of Thursday, in a leading article, advocates the British occu pation of Egypt forthwith. Mexico will co-operate with the United States authorities on the Rio Graude to pre vent raids of cattle stealers. Boumauia has an army or fifty-five thou sand men, organized into two army corps. The Czar and Grand Dukes left for Bucha rest yostorday, on a visit to Prince Charles. The New York Customs Investigating Commission still continue its labors. The Crops. The season has arrived when there is a Very general desire for reliable infor mation in regard to the crop prospect. Our friends throughout Georgia and Florida will confer a favor by communi cating to us promptly such information. AVe shall be pleased to receive letters ad vising us of the present condition and prospect of the cotton and provision crops. Tub Proposed Prohibition or Fire Ceackers.—A committee of the National Board of Fire Underwriters have pe titioned to the Mayor and Aldermen of New York, and other cities, to adopt an ordinance providing that no person shall cast, throw or fire any squib, rocket, cracker, torpedo, grenade or other com bustible fireworks or explosive prepa ration within the oity, under a penalty for every such offence not exceeding five dollars; also providing that it shall not be lawful for any person to sell or offer for sale within the limits of tbe city any crackers, squibs, etc., except in tbe origi- pal package as imported; penalty for each offence two dollars. Tbe third sec tion provides against tbe manufacture within the city limits of any fireworks under a penalty of twenty dollars for each offence. Tho Richmond papery mention with much pleasure that in the decoration ceremonies in that city the graves of Confederates were not forgotten. The monument to Stonewall Jackson in the capitol was handsomely decorated by some unknown hand, and, says the En quirer: “Garlands of flowers were carried by a deputation from the society of the Grand Army to Oakwood and Hollywood, accompanied by a card bn which was written: ‘We honor the brave. In token of that glorious sentiment, no North, no South, no East, no West, but one united oountry mourning alike our fallen brave.’ " A Word of Encouragement Tor Savan nah. In another column we print an edi torial article from the Macon Telegraph and Messenger on the financial condition of Savannah, to which we invite the at tention of our citizens. Our respected cotemporary, writing in a friendly spirit, takes a hopeful and encouraging view of our present financial em barrassment, and expresses confidence both in the ability and purpose of our people to meet their just obligations. As we have before said, the idea of re pudiating any portion of our city debt is not, and never has been, entertained by any respectable portion of oar citizens. The necessity for an accommodation of terms adapted to the present emergency has been felt and admitted by all, but in asking for such an accommodation as would give present relief, it was farthest from the thought of our people to submit the city credit to fiual dishonor. While the figures upon which the Tele graph and Messenger bases its article may not be strictly correct, still that paper does us but justice when it expresses the confident hope that our people will “with heroic constancy and fortitude resolve to pay to the utmost farthing all that they owe.” Thanking our eotemporary for his kmdly and encouraging words, we as sure him that, though he may have over estimated our financial ability, he has not mistaken tbe spirit of our people. In common with the oountry at large, we have suffered from tbe general pa ralysis, rnd have felt the mildew blight of Radical misrule. But Savannah is still the commercial emporium of the Empire State of Georgia, and her peo ple will never permit her name to be dishonored. There is life in the old burg yet. Atlanta Independent (“Fatty paper; throws oat this bit of The Harris’ comfort to its anti-convention friends “Gen. William Phillips is stumping the mountains with surprising effect against the proposed convention. Cobb county has a ticket for this district for no con vention. Should the vote of upper Geor gia be all cast, no convention will carry two to one. The abomination should be voted down. Gen. Phillips says that this is the only crack the people will get at a now constitution, as the convention, if it carries, will not submit its work to a vote of the people.” It happens that General Phillips is President of a railroad that wants State aid, hence he opposes a convention. He is mistaken, however, in his zeal to de feat the will of the people of Georgia, when he asserts that his section will go “two to one” against the call; and he is equally mistaken in declaring that the new constitution will not be submitted to the people. Why even the leading Radi cals in Atlanta, with Bullock at their head, privately admit that the convention is ture to be held, as the Democrats are not as divided as they expected to find them on the question. Office holders, State aid advocates and bogus bond men are fighting tbe call, but the true men of the State will sustain it nobly on Tuesday next at the polls. The Washington Government has been extremely anxious to get its claws upon some of the State Governments of the South ever since the discomfiture of the carpet-baggers. At last it has found a pretext for interfering with the local government of Mississippi. A man named McClelland, claiming to be a Brit ish subject, was killed in the Kemper county riot, and we read that the Depart ment of Justice has instructed the Dis trict Attorney for the Southern District of Mississippi to investigate the facts in the case. If McClelland was mur dered, it is a matter for the State to inquire into, and it is proper that the officials at Washington should request the Governor of the State of Mississippi to investigate the matter and transmit the result of his inquiries to the Secretary of State, so that he may communicate it to the British Minister. It would be equally proper, however, for Governor Stone to institute, on the part of the Remonetization of SilTer. The question of the remonetization of silver and the ooinage of the “dollar of our fathers” is assuming gigantic propor tions in the West especially, and will prove a prominent feature of the politi cal campaigns in that section next fall. This proposed action means a restoration of silver coin to the dignity of a legal tender, and increasing tbe value of the present silver dollar to that which it possessed in the earlier days of the re public, when the old silver dollar was the standard of value in this country, and weighed 412] grains of 900 fineness. The following condensed history of this dollar will prove of interest in this con nection: In 1792, when the Federal Congress commenced the discussion of a unit of value, the old Spanish dollar was the basis of exchange, and that coin was adopted as such by Congress. In 1794 the first American dollar was coined, and it weighed 416 grains, of which 371] grains were pure silver. Soon afterwards, it was considered well to make gold also a standard of value, so as to give the country a bi-metallic currency, aud under the ad vice of Alexander Hamilton—that “a gold coin containing l-15th as much pare gold as the silver dollar contained pure silver gave the just ratio upon which to estab lish a doable standard"—a gold dollar was coined weighing 27 grains, of which 24 J grains were pure. Thus the bi-metallic currency was first attempted to be estab lished, and then began the contest, as it were, between gold and silver. It was soon determined that, under this system of coinage, the silver dollar was not worth as much as the gold, aDd, consequently, every ore who owed debts endeavored to pay them in the cheaper currency. The result was that gold disappeared, and business was done solely on a silver basis. In 1834 the gold coin was debased, and the gold dollar then contained only 23 2-lOgraics of pure metal, instead of 24J. By this act, gold was rendered cheaper than silver, and the latter in turn disappeared. Thus it was clearly Bhown that the desired bi-metallic system was not established yet, so in 1837 another effort in that direction was made. The value of the gold dollar was raised to a fineness of 9.10 with a weight of 25.8 grains, and so it remains to-day. The silver dollar containing 4121 grains of pure metal continued to be coined, and this is the “dollar of our fathers, which it is desired to restore, for iu 1873 silver was, unconstitutionally, demone-. tized by Congress, being made a legal tender only to the extent of five dollars, leaving gold as our only standard of value. It is for a repeal of this law, aud against this single standard, that the West is so vigorously fighting at this time. In this contest the South will join hands heartily with the West, and against the East, for the following palpable reason: In the East the government bonds are principally held. Gold being at this time the more valuable of the two metals though the history of the silver dollar,as given above, shows that, under certain circumstances, it is just as liable to fluctu ations in value as is silver—it is very uatural that the holders of these bonds should wish them to be paid, principal and interest, in the most precious metal that can be obtained, and no doubt, if it were regarded as at all plausible or prob able, these bondholders would contend equally as hard for the principal and in terest of their bonds in diamonds. But the West and South (especially the latter, which owns no bonds, but to the contra ry, was impoverished by the war, and is still struggling hard to recuperate), think very differently on this subject. It is equally as natural for those seetions, which have to be taxed to meet these bonds, to desire that they be paid in that coin, which, while it comes up to all the requirements of tbe law and the Constitution, and can cancel the national debt without violating the faith of the government (for these bonds were only agreed to be paid “in ooin” at a time when the silver dollar was recog nized by the Constitution and Congress as of equal value with that of gold), can be procured more readily aud with the least burden to themselves. This is why these two sections will unite on this State, an action for trespass against any | United States officer who oomes down I question, and will act together for the re- tbere interfering nor'h) business. with his (the Gover- Ohio Politics.—The Democratic coun oil at Columbus on Thursday blocked out the policy to be pursued by the party in the approaching campaign in Ohio. It was settled that the convention should be reoommended to let the greenback ques tion severely aione and stick to the silver dollar of tho fathers. The debate on the subject was very brisk aud developed wide range of opinion, l’endleton and Ewing are known to be for a greenback campaigu of the old Bill Allen type, while Thurman and others are for hard money. The silver dollar was taken as a eompro arise. Sherman’s financial policy was roundly denounced on all hands and the resumption act voted impracticable, on the ground that the time for preparation is not sufficient. A Washington dispatch says that Gen. Cornby, of Ohio, a leading Republican, who is now in that city preparing for his mission abroad, admits the probable de feat of the Republicans in Ohio, because there is a lack of the usual enthusiasm, and the vote is likely to be small, as it ik the off year; but he thinks it need not embarrass the administration. Savannah is not the only city in flnan cial trouble. A few weeks ago it was announced that there was danger that the city of Pittsburg, Pa., would default the interest on its bonds. Since then the default has actually occurred ; the semi-annual interest due on $5,000,000 bonds has not been paid, and the city’s creditors do not know that it ever will be. No provision is being made for the Ooto- ber interest, and it is probable default will be made on that, too. Al luding to the financial condition Pittsburg, the St. Louis Re- publican remarks: “With the city in ar rears for one year's interest, amounting to $300,000, it will be no easy thing to catch up, particularly as the tax-payers are adverse to an increase of taxes and apparently indifferent to the claims of their creditors. It ought to be mentioned that Pittsburg is not a Southern city, nor is it Democratic.” The Illinois Legislature, which has just adjourned, sat almost five full months. There were 1,097 bills introduced; the House sent 170 to the Senate and the Senate 160 to the House, bat only 175 reached the Governor. A woman named Fanny Brown, arrested in St. Louis for vagrancy, had with her a bright little girl of seven years, who gave her name as Mary Masterson, and said her home was in Philadelphia A girl of the same nRme and age was stolen by a woman from her grandmother, Mrs. Ann White, in Philadelphia, on the 13th of April, and search has been made for hor in New York and Brooklyn. A Philadel phia detective will go to St. Louis and bring the child and woman back with him. Gens. Jubal A. Early and Pierre Gus tave Toutant Beauregard presided at the “drawing” of the Louisiana State lottery in the Gpera House, at New Orleans, on Tuesday, Gen. Early drawing the ticket numbers and Gen. Beauregard the prizes from the respective wheels. No. 87,167 “drew” $100,000; No. 34,764, $50,000, and No. 37,419 $10,000. monetization of silver. The prominence and importance of this question is shown by the avidity with which it is seized upon by the Re publicans of the West. It was the Re publican party which unconstitutionally demonetized silver, and it was the Demo cratic party which first took issue with the Kadioals on that point, and com menced the fight againBt them. At first tbe Republican press laughed to scorn the Democratic ideas on this subject, just as they have hitherto opposed Demo cratic idoas on the subject of the treatment of the South. Yet, so popn lar has the movement become, and so certain is it to win at the coming elections that, as Senator Thurman, of Ohio, says, the Radioals are trying to steal Democratic thunder in that issue, just as they have attempted to appropriate to themselves credit for adopting the Democratic polioy on the Southern ques tion. The anomaly is therefore presented to-day of such men as Hayes, who ran for Governor of Ohio against Hon. Wil liam Allen on an ultra gold platform, and such papers as the Cincinnati Gommer cial, the most ardent supporter of Hayes, and his quondam golden policy, comiDg out in favor of the silver dollar. All this, we say, shows the favor which (he move ment is reoeiving, and indioates the oer tainty of its winning at the polla It is but another phase of the constantly re curring conflict of interests between the bond-holding East on the one hand, and the taxpaying West and South on the other, and there is but little doubt that this silver question will go as far to determine the Presidency in 1880, as the Southern question did in 1876. We predict that it will result in a oomplete Democratic triumph, for it will be just as hard to make the majority of the people cf this oountry believe that the Radical party favors anything but a gold basis, as it will be to make them be lieve that the party ever was, is, or ever will be, just to the South. Tbe Troubles Caused bj Wicked Partners. “Under Democratic control there is no bright future for our country ; no peace except a peace that would be worse than war. That party deserves to die, aod it ought to die, and with the help of God and a patriotic people it will die.” Tbe Cincinnati Gazette, from which the above extract is taken, is edited by the great aud good Deaeon Richard Smith, of Ohio. Of coarse our readers are all fa miliar with him, for no man so eminently pious and so truly good can hide his light under a bushel, no matter how large it may be. But there is no rose without thorns, nor is there any man living who does not suffer, more or less, of the trials of life, and even the shining morality and spotless caroer of such a man as the good Deacon does not bring about immunity from tribulation. The great and sore trial of the Deacon’s life is that he is afflicted with two wicked partners. For long, long, weary vears has he toiled, plead and prayed to keep these bad young men in the straight and narrow paths of rectitude, and it is de clared by some that he consents to live in partnership with them—not be cause he finds it profitable in a carnal sense; oh, no ; not because they help him to accumulate filthy lucre, not that- but because he hopes that his example may yet work out good to them, and his prayers for their conver sion may be heard, and his labors and toils yet be crowned with glorious success. The good Deacon cheerfully submits to all the trouble and sacrifice demanded at his hands in this, his life-long task, for he confesses and humbly believes that “he who shall con vert a sinner from the error of his ways shall save a soul from death, and hide multitude of sins.” -We have thu3 dwelt on the high moral part of Deacon Smith’s character in or der that we may give a reason for the faith that is in us, that these terribly wicked partners have been again playing their sad jokes on the Deacon, and have taken advantage of his absence in Washington, where he was re cently looking after a postal card contract, to put false statements in his paper. For though the Gazette is the most rampant Radical sheet in Ohio, yet it cannot be even suspected that Deacon Smith would consent to state what is not strictly true, even though thereby he might gain a political advan tage. Yet in the extract above quoted, there are two distinct and palpable per versions of the truth. Every truly good Deacon must confess that a bright future can only be seoured to any country by a strict adherence to honesty, integrity and capacity on the part of its rulers, and Deacon Smith must certainly recognize the fact that the course of the Radical party, since it has been in power, has been marked by fraud, corruption, dis honesty and muddle-headedness. And, since the Democracy has all along vio lently opposed these things in the powers that be, it follows, as a thing of course, that it is only under Democratic rule that the coveted brightfuture can be made cer tain. Again it is stated that the Democratic party ought to die, and will die, etc. As Radicals, no doubt the good Deacou and his wicked partners all agree that the Democratic party ought to die, but, in the face of the fact that the “patriotic peo ple” of the country voted last fall that it was the Radical organization that deserved death, and that the Democratio party should be restored to power, it is utterly impossible that the good, virtu ous Radical deacon could have stated so palpable an untruth as the assertion that it will die. It is sad that the honest old man should thus have to bear the burden of the misdoings of his wicked partners. Really if they don’t soon amend, he will be forced, in self defence, to sever his connection with them, and abandon them to their fate. This will cause him many a pang, but he can cleanse his skitts of the consequences, and, with a clear conscience, rely solely on govern ment contracts for a living. Their blood be upon their own heads. He has done his duty by them. BY TELEGRAPH -TO- THE MORNING NEWS WAR NOTES. RUSSIA WILLING TO PEACE. CONCLUDE THE RUSSIAN LETTER TO THE POWERS. The Russian Advance on Erzeronm ACTIVITY ON THE DANUBE. Startling Reports of England's Action, [By Cable to tbe Morning News.] It is gradually dawning on those Re publicans who did not like Mr. Hayes' way of doing things, but declared they would give it a fair trial,” that it is beyond their reaoh, and they are bound to submit, whether they like it or not. The Cincinnati Gazette bluntly says: ‘The cessation of military interven tion between competing governments in any State is an accomplished fact. That cannot be renewed. It was played out any how, and, against a hostile house, holding in its hands the existence of the army, the President could not continue it, nor oould he renew it. We may say the same of all attempts to give military protection to the elections. The extinc tion of the Chamberlain and Packard governments and the establishment of those of Hampton and Nicholls are also accomplished facts. There is nothing tentative in any of these things.” Telegrams from Atlantic City, Wyo ming, state that the Shoshone Indians are in an almost starving condition. Their supplies are lying at Green River and Ijryan stations. Some fears are enter tained by settlers that the Indians will be driven to commit depredations to keep from starving. Not so Bad—A More Cheerful Outlook for Savannah. [Macon Telegraph, 8th.] We conversed yesterday with a Macon banker, a gentleman of great sagacity and business experience, who had just re turned from Savannah. In answer to our inquiries, he said that the reports of tbe desperate financial con dition of that city had been greatly exag gerated. The facts are these in a nut shell: The corporation of Savannah owns two millions’ worth of real estate, which pays a ground rent of six per cent, annually, sufficient to wipe out half of the interest of her entire debt. TheD, from the rental of market stalls and water privileges, $41,000 more are realized, in dependent of the regular tax list which, at per cent., yields $300,000. Tuus it is seen the city can, without serious difficulty, meet the interest of her present indebtedness. Moreover, by funding the entire amount (in round numbers $4,100,000', in five per cent, bonds, bearing long dates, she can continue to defray the ac cruing interest annually, meet all cur rent expenses, and lay aside a small sinking fund also, for the extinction of the principal. This is certainly an encouraging view of tbe case, and if correct, ought to knock into smithereens the plans and calculations of repudiationists. We trust it will be many a long day be fore our noble seaport, the entrepot of so large a portion of the commerce of the conntry, and tbe abode of merchant princes whose escutcheon is without a stain, shall refuse to meet principal and interest of every just obligation. And her worst enemies are those who counsel compromise and the quasi repudiation of a single cent of legal indebtedness. This ignoring of one’s honest dues, thanks to Radical pott bellum legislation, is becoming frightfully common in pri vate life, and corporations, too, forsooth, are emulating the ignoble example. Nothing oould be more ruinous both to the morals acd finances of any people. Let ns hope then that our trusty fellow citizens of the Forest City will scout any such proposition, and with heroic con stancy and fortitude, resolve to pay to the uttermost farthing all that they owe. It will prove to be the wisest and beat policy in the end, and result in the utter discomfiture of their insidious enemies. Financial credit, like woman's virtue, must be unassailable and beyond re - proach. It would be a wofal day for Sa vannah, or any other Southern city, when the news was trnmpeted abroad that they sought refuge in repudiation for hon orable indebtedness. Nothing could more effectually ring the deathknell of the prosperity of such a community. In this connection it affords us pleas ure also to deny and denounce as utterly destitute of credence and fonndation tbe sensational rumor that yellow fever still lingers, or has appeared again in our sister city. Nothirg could be more cruelly false or gratuitous. On the contrary, the evi dence is cumulative on the part of physi cians, merchants, visitors and the unani mous public, that the health of Savan nah was never more perfect, while wholesome, sanitary regulations and re freshing showers impart exceptional sa lubrity to the atmosphere. God grant that the city of Oglethorpe may never again be subjected to the ter rible ordeal of the past season, and that she may emerge from her present em barrassments, and shine forth “clear as the moon, bright as the sun, and terrible an army with banners.’’ So mote it be. The Coroner’s inquest on the death of Mrs. Mary Douglass, of Dedham, Mass., resulted in a verdict of death from abor tion performed by Dr. James Dillingham, who is held to await the action of the grand jury. London, June 8.—The Standard's Berlin correspondent believes Germany with the connivance of England will advise Turkey to conclude a peace as soon as possible, Rnssia having already informed the Cabi nets at London, Vienna and Berlin that she would agree to conclude peace on the basis of the protocol, aocepting accessions of ter ritory in Asia Minor instead of indemnity The new Turkish Ambassador arrives at Berlm to-day. Pabis, June 8.—The communication which Russia sends to London is not a note in a diplomatic sense bat a letter from Prince Gortschakoff in repjy to a letter of Lord Derby which Count Sobonvaloff took with him to St. Petersburg. In his letter Lord Derby drew the a tention of Russia to tbe various points where English interests would be affected if Russian action extended so far, They were mentioned in Mr. Cross’ speech in Parliament as on tbe Snez canal and Egypt, Constantinople, Dardanelles and Persian Gulf. The Prince’s letter successively takes up these points and explains that Russia does not mean to Interfere with any one of them. Prince Gortschakoff acknowledges the great international and commercial im portance of the Suez canal, and gives the most positive assurances that Rnssia does not intend in any way to touch it. Rnssia, indeed, thinks herself entitled, as a matter of right, to carry the war to Egypt, bat explains that any action in that direction has never been taken into consideration. This is even more the case as regards the Persian Golf. Russia thinks that so important a mari time passage as the Dardanelles should always be regulated by international agreement, and not by one power alone. Sbo disclaims any intention of acqniring Con stantinople, though at the same time she oould not consent to Its possession by any other Christian power. The communication is silent as regards any temporary occupa tion of Constantinople which may become necessary and ensne in the conrse of Rns- sian military achievements. The letter goes on to say that Russia has remained true to her programme, in aiming solely at im proving the condition of the Christiana in Tnrkev, which can only be done by co eroing the Porte. As soon as Rnssia has achieved this she will fall back on the reso lutions .of the Constantinople conference, and contend for such guarantees as will en sure tbe efficacy of the reforms, asking the powers to take np the thread where it was broken by the desolation of the conference. Bucharest, June 8.—Twenty-eight of the thirty-three districts composing Roumania have been placed under martial law, because tbe civil law does not recognize capital pnn- shment. Widin, Jnne 8.—The Russians continne the concentration of pontoon trains. A great force of artillery has arrived and the crossing of the river, it is believed, will be attempted immediately. London, June 8 The Russian advance is threatening communication between Erze- ronm and Trebizond, and Monkhtar Pasha has sent five battalions and some gnus to obeck them. Roumania has fifty-five thousand men in fighting trim. They are organized into two army corps. Among the reports circulated yesterday on tbe London Stock Exchange were that England is about to pnrehase the founders shares in the Suez canal, and that she is abont to pnrehase tbe Porte’s sovereign rightB .in Egypt. Some papers think that the advance in Egyptian stocks indicates a good fonndation for the reports; others think the steps already taken are ample to justify the return of confidence in Egyptian se enrities, and that all reports of farther ac tion are mere stock jobbing canards. Noth' ing yet made public affords a basis of opin ion as to which of the views is correct. The Pad Matt Gazette of Wednesday af ternoon, in a leading article, advocated tbe British occnpation of Egypt forthwith. London, Jane 8.:—Stirring news is expeot- ed from Nikopolis. The Roumanian shore is lower than the Turkish, bat the soil is firm, and tho Danube is only half a mile wide. The Turks aro massing troops to ward Nikopolis. I’loiesti, June 8.—Tbe Czar and tbe Grand Dnkes proceeded to Bucharest to-day to visit Prince Charles, and will return to night. Brussels, Jane 8.—Le Xord, which maintains intimate connection with the Russian foreign office, last night published an appeal abont peace rumors. The follow lowing are significant extracts: “Russia will not lay down her arms until guarantees cor responding with the sacrifices already made have been established from Tar key.” » » » * “There is no question ofj Rnssia concluding a cheap bar gain. The demonstration must be complete, and the results decisive.” * * » » “it is necessary for the security of the future that Turkey should be perfectly convinced of her isolation and inferiority, and the absolute necessity of submitting to conditions she herself has rendered neoessary.” London, May 8.—The Pall Mall Gazette's Berlin dispatch says : “The entrance of Zimbrakosaki into the Greek Cabinet as Minister of War is received as a warlike symptom. He is a Cretan, and at the time of the Cretan insurrection direoted the mili tary operations of the insurgents.” An Odessa dispatch to the limes says the Rassian Trading Company has resumed running steamers between Odessa and Mikolieff after a month’s stoppage. There were many passeugers and a tolerable cargo on the first trip. The Turkish blockade is ineffectual. Constantinople, June 8.—The Montene grins on Wednesday attacked Spuz and were defeated, leaving 23 dead and CO wounded. Vienna, Jnne 8.—The Political Corres pondence details the fighting on the 4th instant near Kristach, Kristaz, and Piva. Both sides fonght with great bravery the whole day, the Turks, notwithstanding strennons efforts, in which they lost three thousand men, failed to advanoe nearer to Piva. The Montenegrins have again in trenched themselves along the pasB between Kristach and Presja. Bucharest, June 8.—The Russians at Ginrgevo have been preparing since yes terday lor a vigorous bombardment on Rnstchnk. Tbe Prince of Roumania has issued a de cree that all persons charged with en dangering the safety of troops shall be tried by court martial. FROM WASHINGTON. The Kemper Massacre Investigated. to A VERY SUCCESSFUL - STUDENT. The Trial or Franks, United States Deputy Marshal. [By Telegraph to the Morning News.] Washington, June 8.—Tbe District At torney for the Southern District of Missis sippi has been instrsoted by the Depart ment of Justice to investigate the facts at tending the death of McClelland in. the Kemper county massacre, in compliance witn a request made by the British authori ties, who olaim that McClelland was a British subject.
