We would request the agents of the
Morning News, and other friends in the
State, to send us, as soon as they can be
obtained, the result of the convention
election in their respective counties.

The Porte’s expected reply to the English
note relative to the Suez canal, it is said,
will state that it considers the canal Turkish
property, and as Turkey has the right to
fight her enemies on the high seas, she ob
viously has the right to oppose them on her
own territory. [ This is Bound logic, but
will it satisfy England ?]
An attempt was made by boats near Mare-
tin upon a Turkish monitor, but, with the
assistance of the land batteries, was re
pulsed. Another attempt was made yester
day on the islands, but the party were driven
off. It is thought that these are but feelers
sent out to locate the Turkish batteries.
The P.ussians, says the war correspondent
of tho London Standard with Moukhtar
Pasha’s camp, have massed around Kars all
the troops which they brought from Arda-
han, Gumrv, Kagishiuan and Souricami-
che, evidently with the intent to reduce that
place before a further advance towards
Erzeroum.
It is a reasonable conclusion that owing to
the immense materia! which the Bussiaus
are placing in depots on the Danube that
' the attempted passage of the river cannot
be made before the first of next month,
which conclusion is strengthened by the
present state of the river.
I he Kussian loan of seventy-five millions
of dollars, wrich was offered in Loudon and
refused, has been taken by a syndicate of
Berliu aDd Paris bankers, at a figure which
will leave an ample margin for contin
gencies.
Suieiman Pasha has forced the entrance
of Duga Pass after a sanguinary battle, and
is advancing upon Nicsic, the Montenegrins
being in full retreat. This is an official
Turkish dispatch.
The Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
has given an opinioo,which has been adopted
by Secretary Sherman, that all United States

Fifty prominent citizens of Southwest
Virginia hare petitioned Commissioner
Baum for a sufficient force to co-operate

illicit distillers to Justice.
Tho Commercial Fire Insurance Company
of St. Louis has made an assignment, and
Senator Bogy, who was the largest stock-
holder, and his son, who was President,
have been beggared by the event.
On Friday three attacks were made by
the Bussiaus on Fort Tamaz, which is the
key to Kars, but were repulsed. On Satur
day other attacks were made, with what re
sult is unknown.
Bussian dispatches say that the Turks are
attempting to form counter approaches at
Kars, but have not been successful in so
doing, owing to tho terrible fire of the Bus-
sian batteries.
A dispatch from Constantinople says that
a great battle is in progress at Kars, and
that the Sultan is staying at the War Office
waiting for the news.
The llussians are pushing their siege
works at Batoum, and the Turks are calling
for reinforcements, without which they will
not be able to hold out.
It is believed that 8herman will issue
eight millions in silver change to replace
the estimated loss of fractional currency by

The Pope has been pressed by a person of
high position to commit himself npon the
Bonaparte movement in France, but he very
wisely held his peace.
Both the Bussians ar.d Turks have con
centrated strong batteries on opposite sidek
of the Danube at the points where the
Bussians crossed in 1828.
It is stated that certain signs point to the
attempted crossing of the Danube yesterday
(Thursday) or to-day.
It is rumored that Savfet Pasha has re
quested the Sultan to entrust him with a

Official returns of the eleotion reach
us slowly, but our telegraphic reports
this morning from reliable sources are
most reassuring, and leave no grounds
for doubting that the friends of conven
tion have carried the State by a respec
table majority. A dispatch from Atlanta,
based on returns received in that city,
announces that North Georgia is nearly
unanimous for convention, and estimates
that the majority for convention in the
State will not fall much short of ten
thousand.
It will be observed that while the
Democratic vote has been light, the ne
groes in those counties where their
vote is strong have gone solid against
convention. This action on their
parte has been in obedience ~ to
the instructions of their carpet-
gag leaders, and it is a source of sincere
congratulation that even with the aid
which they received from the apathy of
some Democrats and the votes of others,
the liadical leaders have failed in their
insidious attempt to perpetrate their vi’-
lainous handiwork, the so-called “bayo
net constitution.”
It will be the work of the convention
when it assembles next month, by
framing an organic law worthy of the
'‘Empire State,” to convince not only
those Democrats, who through mistaken
views have opposed the convention
movement, hm the negroes, who in
obedience to their pretented friends, the
carpet baggers, voted unanimously
against it, that their efforts
have been wrongfully directed against
a measure which has for its object the
^promotion of the common welfare, end
which should have received the cordial
approval of every good citizeD, without
distinction of party, race, color, or pre
vious condition.
Judge Jerry Black is reported to have
prepared a long artiole for a leading
monthly magazine on the Electoral Com
mission, which will make a decided pen
satiou when published. It is said to re
flect very severely on the Associate Jus
tices who voted iu Hayes. Associate Jus
tice Field was called to Black’s home at
York, Penn., last week, to listen to the
article read and make suggestions.
Italian Trade and Immigration.
We publish elsewhere a communica
tion, with the above caption, from the
Baltimore Sun, aDd, it being on a sub
ject of considerable interest to the resi-
denta of sections where the News largely
circulates, we call to it the attention of
our readers.
Immigration is the main agent
upon which we have to rely to build up
our waste places iu the South, aud make
our wildernesses to blossom as the rose.
It is a subject which has been long dis
cussed iu all its bearings, and the result
of such discussions has always been the
adoption of the opinion above expressed.
Such being acknowledged, the in
troduction in our midst of Italians of
the class described iu the communication
is a matter well worthy of consideration.
Italy is comprised between the latitudes
36 degs. 35 mins, and 47 degs. 05 mins,
north, while in this country, the region
comprised between Northern Georgiaand
Southern Florida, extends between the
parallels 35 degs. and 24 degs. 30 mins,
north. Thus it will be seen that the
latitudes of the two countries are very
nearly the same, and when it is con-
sidered that the climate in European
countries is several degrees warmer than
that of corresponding latitudes in this,
we can understand that Italy agrees in
temperature almost exactly with the
region comprised between the Southern
States we have mentioned.
The productions of the two localities
amply prove this. In Italy the vine, the
orange, the mulberry end the olive flour
ish, and are the chief fruits grown, while
sugar cane, cotton, corn and rice are
easily produced, aud in the moun
tainous regions of the interior, the
raising of sheep, cattle and goats
forms a large part of the occupa
tions of the people. Hence it will be
seen that inhabitants of that country are
not only adapted to the climate of this
section, but are accustomed to the cul
tivation of the very same fruits and agri
cultural products which form our staples,
besides various others, such as silk, which
they would introduce among us.
It can then be readily understood wbal
advantages would accrue to us here if we
could induce the tide of immigration of
this people, represented as being
a “peaceable, energetic and industrious
raoe,” to turn hitherwards. As the writer
of the communication alluded to says:
“The old idea of natural obannels of trade
and immigration is exploded; trade must
be directed; immigration must be di
rected. Let Italian commerce and Italian
immigration be invited, and both will
flow hither.” Immigrants of this clas.-
have hitherto shunned the Northern
section of this continent, and, in
numbers of sixty thousand annually,
sought out South America, where they
probably imagined they could find a more
congenial clime and soil. In this they
have erre.l through ignorance, the re
sources of the South never having been
made known to them, and all that is
necessary to induce them to come here is
to dissipate their ignorance in this re
gard. Since it seems impracticable for
us in Savannah to establish a direct line
of steamers to that country, the next best
thiDg we can do is to heartily second tht
efforts of Baltimore in this direction,
and, the better to do so, we would sug
gest to those who may become interested
iu the subject to prepare statistics ot
the climate, soil, productions, etc., to
gether with the location and price of
lauds in their respective localities, in or
der that the information therein con
tained may reach the Italian people and
they may know exactly the advantage to
them immigration here would secure.
There is no doubt that, if they can one<
be induced to take up our wild lauds and
cultivate them according to their close,
economical ideas of agriculture, in a verj
little while, they would be prosperous,
aud the value of those lands would be
enhanced several hundred per cent.
If we do this we will, at least, help to
cause a class of immigrants to settl
among us who from their acclimation and
familiarity with our agricultural special
ties, would indeed make this section of
the South bloom like “the sister of
Italy.” _
Flogging in Public Schools.
The question of corporal punishment in
the public schools has lately been revived
in New York. It seems that there is a
law in that State prohibiting such punish
ment, providing for expulsion instead,
and, since its adoption, tno youthful cul
prit, freed from fear of biroh to back or
rule to band, has become so incorrigible
as to be well nigh unbearable. Hence, a
party has been formed favoring the
adoption of the old-time system of
flagellation, and the matter was referred
by the Board of Education to a commis
sion to consider and report upon. This
was done, and the report submitted
brought no solace to ths youthful mind.
It strongly advocsted a repeal of the law,
and a readoption of the flogging system.
It claimed that statistics show that where
flogging is inflicted, discipline is
better kept up, the attendance of pu
pils is much more regular, and,
in every way, better results have been at
tained. Moreover, the commissioners
claim that legislation of the nature com
plained of is illegal; that no Superinten
dent has a right to expel a child from a
public school, to the privileges of which
every one is entitled, and,further, that eve
ry teacher stands towards the pupils, in loco
parentis, and possesses the inherent legal
right to whip just ns much as he or she
es. All which goes to prove that
Solomon was a very wise man, and was
perfectly correct in his yiews regarding
the sparing of the rod, as also in his asser
tion that “there is nothing new under
the sun.”
Boston owes, in round numbers, forty-
four millions of dollars. This is a large
sum of money—larger than any ihrifty
American city has any business
to owe. But Boston is solvent.
It has $16,380,000 in the sinking fund ;
its yearly income from rents is $147,000;
it has real estate to sell of an estimated
value of $1,000,000; the water works al
ready net the treasury $1,147,773 above
all expenses, and the revenue from this
source is increasing from year to year.
But $1,147,773 is the interest at 44 per
cent, of $25,500,000; and the credit of
the city is so good that it can place a
per cent, loan at par any day it chooses.
A writer in the Boston Advertiser finds
in this showing a strong argument for
the purchase of laud for park purposes
before the real estate market recovers
from its present prostration.
Boscoe Conkliso on the Fence.—A
Washington special says: “Senator
Cockling, who was lately here for four
days, procured his passport for Europe
through the subordinates of the State De
partment, as his relations with Mr. Evarts
precluded personal intercourse with
that gentleman. Daring Mr. Conklirg’s
stay here it is said by his intimate friends
that he did not call at the White House
nor did he meet the President, and
further that he has abstained entirely
from making recommendations of any
nature in behalf of persons who seek
Presidential favor, leaving himself free
to oppose or support the President when
Congress meets, as he may see fit.”
Was there any Bargain in lonisiana 7
The loDg struggle for the United States
Marshal ship of Louisiana is over. Colo-
nel Jack Wharton ia appointed to that
position, and the disconsolate Pitkin, to
whom Beast Butler commended the ex
ample of the submissive son of the patri
arch Jacob on the sacrificial altar, steps
down and out. Now that the business
has been settled the Boston Port suggests
that further letters from Beast Butler aud
MacYeagh would be acceptable to the
public. Says the Port:
“Unless there was some bargain in the
affair, it is not exactly clear why a civil
service reform administration should
make such an appointment. For, by all
accounts, Wharton is not exactly the sort
of man to do honor to a professedly pure
government. As a member of the Lynch
returning board, an ally of Warmoth
in his earlier ambitions, and a man
thoroughly familiar with the wonderful
frauds in Louisiana, he has a record that
cannot be forgotten. Exoept for Butler’s
demonstration, however, it is improbable
that this appointment would have seemed
especially out of character with others
recently made.”
“Unless there was some bargain in the
affair,” suggests the Post. Well, there
has been a vague suspicion iu the public
mind that there was some bargaining in
Louisiana, and that the Haves commis
sion was sent to New Orleans not so much
to inquire into the rights of the respec
tive parties contending for the State gov
ernment as to reconcile parties to the
terms upon which the bargain was made
in Washington for the purchase of the
electoral vote of the State. On
this subject the following from the New
Orleans Times, of Tuesday last, throws
some light. Alluding to the appointment
of Wharton to the office of United States
Marshal, the Times says:
There is an npinioH prevalent that this
appointment is one determined on re
cently. This is an error. As soon as Mr.
Hayes became assured that he was to be
President he deoided to make a change in
ihe Coll ctor and Marshal for Louisiana.
Upon the highest assurance that this
would be done, the Times correspondent
at Washington telegraphed this journal,
February 28, as follows :
“The Uuuod States Marshal will be se
lected from the ex-Confederate Republi
cans. Iu the present instance, the place
will probably be tendered to a man who
was on the Republican aide in the last
cauvass, but who, on account of his ac
complishments as a gentleman, and
kuowledge of local politios, seems to be
eminently fitted for this difficult place.
When I add that the person mentioned
is one of the most charming raconteurs
in the South, a guess may be made as to
who is meant. ”
A Gubernatorial Congress.
We notice that a movement is on foot
to bring about a Congress of all the Gov
ernors of the different States of the
Union at the Green Brier White Sulphur
Springs during the summer, at which
Mr. Hayes will be present. The ostensi
ble object of the gathering is for all the
notables to meet and enjoy “a social sea
son,” but there is, most likely, to be at
tached to it a deeper significance. A
great many think that the real purpose
of the gathering is for an exchange of
political sentiments between the Execu
tive of the United States aud the Execu
tives of the respective States, with
view of blocking out a plan for
future policy, and particularly
for deciding, as far os possible, upon
the work of the new Congress when it
assembles in October. However this may
be, the mere fact that the meeting will
take piece is a cause of dismay to the
ultra Radicals, aud the New York Times,
the leading organ of Radicalism in the
country, and the chief worker in the con
spiracy which unseated Mr. Tilden and
put Hayes into his place, sees in it “ the
danger of disintegration to the Republi
can party, and fears the opportunity thus
offered for new combinations will prove
disastrous to the Republican organiza
tion.” No wonder the Times is alarmed.
1 Suspicion always haunts the guilty min i—
The ttuef doth tear each bush an officer.”
According to a little tract recently
printed by the London Peace Sooiety,
the total strength of the regularly trained
soldiers of Europe amounts to nearly
6,000,000. It has been pointed out that
if only one half of the present excessive
armies of Europe were disbanded at least
3,000,000 men of from 20 to 35 years of
age would be restored to productive la
bor, and $500,000,000 of money saved
from oppressive taxation. The same au
thority puts down the cost of all wars
since the Crimean war at $12,065,000,000.
The most expensive war since the contest
in the Crimean was the American rebel
lion, which, it is estimated, cost the
South $2,300,000,000 aud the North
$4,700,000,000. It is estimated that the
enormous sum spent iu these wars would
build two railways round the world at the
rate of $250,000 a mile, and that it would
provide a freehold farm of 100 acres in
this country to each of the 50,000,000
adult males in Europe.
The Reaction in France.
The situation in France seems to be
becoming every day more oritioal. Within
two weeks four republican journalists
have been prosecuted for “insulting the
President” (think of such a thing in the
United States 1) The editors of two
Paris papers, the Radical and the Marseil
laise, have been fined one thousand dol
lars each and sentenced to three months’
imprisonment. The President ot the
City Council of Paris, Duverdier, a man
of culture and means, has been charged
with the same terrible offense and placed
under arrest without bail, aDd several
Mayors of large cities have been sus
pended. The chief of the press bureau of
the proposed international exhibition has
been dismissed because he was a Repub
lican. Minister Fonrtou enjoins Prefects
to revise the licenses of all sellers of
books and newspapers, with a sharp eye
to the dismissal of those agents who
cannot “offer proper guarantees to social
order,” and to “prosecute any persons
who, in qafes or other public places,
spread false reports calculated to disturb
public tranquility.” All public meetings
of over twenty persons have been for-
bidden. The Republic in party has gov
erned France for five years in peace, but
this looks like war. MacMahon has the
army on hia side, and -may be able to
maintain “order.” At any rate, says the
Baltimore Sun, it is gratifying to know
that it is not the Republicans who have
created the disturbance, and the pre
sumption is that France, which has never
been free from political discontent, nor
for many years from revolution, nnder
monarchy, might remain quiet and pros
perous under Republicanism. There is
now a business paralysis in France, as
elsewhere, and it arises from the uncer
tainty respecting the government. It is
stated that “capital is growing timid be
fore the menacing aspect of -the future,
and until it is known whether the Presi
dent and his advisers mean to accept the
republic or to upset it the situation can
not be expected to mend.”

TEN THOUSAND MAJORITY.
THE FRIENDS
OF CONVENTION 8AN-
GU1NE.
North Georgia lo the Kwat.
[By Telegraph and Mail to the Morning News.)
Mr. Hayes is represented as being ex
tremely affable, giving audience to all
sorts of visitors, of all races, colors and
professions, at all hours. As a sample
of some of those who take up his time, a
man called the other night with a patent
fan which he had invented and asked
him to tuke some stock in a company for
its manufacture. It is to be attached to
the inside of the pantaloon legs to cool
the limbs in hot weather, and scratch
them in the winter, so os to keep up the
circulation. A dispatch informs us that
Mr. Hayes expressed his admiration for
the theory of the invention, but declined
to go any farther. He has postponed
the meeting of Congress until the fall
season, but the indications are that he
will be in need of some such instrument
to enable him to keep cool when that
body meets, and Blaine, Butler & Co.
open their batteries upon him.
When a legally elected President of
Mexico resists a rebellion against his
authority by an ambitions aspirant for
his offioe, if he is defeated and deposed
as President Lerdo de Tejada recently
was by the present de facto President,
Diaz, he is spoken of as one who “at
tempted to suffocate a national revolt.”
That is a very neat way to put it, and
Mr. Hayes would do well to make a note
of it. The phrase might be advantage
ously used by him in his message to the
coming Congress.
Mr. Sohurz’s Assistant Secretary of the
Interior, one Alonzo Bell, thinks the New
York Sun has damaged his good name
and fame, which he values at $100,000.
He has, therefore, brought a libel suit
against the paper for that amount. A
great many people have an idea that they
ean get rich suing newspapers, but they
invariably find their expectations not
realized. It would not be prudent for a
money lender to discount Mr. Bell’s note
with no better collateral than his antici
pated judgment against the Sun.
One national bank in New York, of
large circulation, has three times within
a few weeks gone through the following
operation with the Treasury : It has de
livered its circulation one day and re
ceived its bonds. The next day it has
presented its bonds, and asked to in
crease its circulation. The Secretary
then has been each time obliged to cancel
80 per cent, of the amount in greenbacks.
The operations were on a very consider
able scale—$1,000,000 in bonds each
time. The attempt is making to in
duce other bauks to join in such effort to
make legal tenders scarce.
A delegation of stone-cutters from the
Rockland, Me., and Virginia quarries,
called upon President Hayes and Secre
tary Sherman Saturday and also had a
hearing before the Treasury Commission
appointed to examine into the oontracts
for public buildings. They ask that the
stone cutting may be done under the
direct supervision of the government
and not through the contractors, and
also seek the intercession of the govern
ment to prevent a reduction of the
wages of stone cutters below three dol
lars per day.
The first shipment of pig iron from
America to Europe has been made. Five
tons have gone from Pittsburg to Ant
werp. Belgium is importing Ameri
can car wheels, which seem likely
to come into extended use in
that country. That will be indeed

to be dependent on foreign countries for

Mary Lockwood, a New York waiter
girl, as she was on her way to her home a
few nights since, was assailed, knocked
down and kicked by a man whom she did
not know. She has since died from the
effects of her maltreatment. Her mur
derer has not been arr.sted. It is now in
order for the Tribune, Times, etc., to
make a sneering remark about “The
Chivalry."
What shall we do with our army effi
cers ? That’s the question. A class of
seventy-six new fledged embryoBrigadiers
has just graduated, end another of one
hundred and twenty-eight is about
entering West Point. Since “all
our wars are ended,” and troops
are no longer required to hold the
people of the South iu subjection to the
carpet-bag banditti, there will be some
difficulty in satisfactorily solving the
above conundrum.
Mb. Hates to Visit the South.—The
Petersburg (Va.) Index-Appeal says
“We learn on the best authority that
President Hayes has given positive as-
suiance of his intention to visit the South
as soon as his duties will permit, and the
weather becomes more pleasant. The
President says that he will certainly visit
Petersburg on his trip and stop a day
with us. He has been assured of a
worthy reception.”
Beet Root Suoab.—The province of
Quebec has offered a bonus of $70,000 in
ten annual installments of $7,000 each to
the first beet sugar factory that msy be
established in that province, in accordance
with regulations published.
New York and Brooklyn together sup
port ten thousand groggeries. Nine-
tenths of all the crime and pauperism in
the two cities is attributed to their work
ing.
At an auction sale of autographs in
New York Monday, the signature of
Benjamin F. Bu ler was offered, with no
taker. It was offered upon the back of
a bank check, and still there was no bid-
ders. Then it was associated with the
cognomen of Robert M. Bugg, a former
member of Congress from Tennessee,
and still no one cried for it. There
seined to be something forbidden about
Ben’s autograph, as though it were one
of the few immortal names that men
were not bom to buy.
The venerable Peter Cooper has written
an open letter to Mr. Hayes, congratulat
ing him on the oonrse he has pursued.
When it ie remembered that Peter Cooper
was defeated for the Presidency even
worse than Hayes was, and therefore had
a prior claim to be “ counted iD,” this
oonduct of his may be regarded as highly
magnanimous.
The anxiety of the President and his
advisers is solely whether his party is to
gain such recruits from among Southern
Democrats as will make up for the Re
publicans who may be estranged. The
Southern policy has been adopted, first,
beoanse in the present temper of the
House of Representatives it could not be
avoided; and secondly, because it was
hoped it would be a successful experi
ment in a party sense.—Memphis Appeal

If Mac is not Emperor de facto it is not

Louis Napoleon, under the empire, never
displayed much greater power than the
so-called President of the French Repub
lic does. Free speech and a free press
have been thought necessary in a Repub

in tbe United States it these two pillars
of a free government were taken away ?
In Paris colored costumes are coming

Zewin to Olti on one side and to Erxeroum
on tbe other.
St. Petehsbubg, Jane 14.— An official
telegram from Mazro, about eight miles
northeast of Kars, dated yesterday, an
nounces that the Tnrks are attempting to
form counter approaches, and are constant
ly making sorties. The Russian batteries
have been very successful in frustrating all
these attempts. A sortie was yesterday re
pulsed with heavy loss to tbe Turks. Seven
Russians were slightly wounded.
London, June 14.—A dispatch from Con
stantinople to the Times says: “Tbe Porte ia
expected to reply to tbe English notification
regarding the Snez canal that it considers the
canal Turkish property, and as Tnrkey has
the right to fight her enemies on the high seas
she has obviously the right to fight them on
her own territory. At the same time she
recognizes the great importance of the
canal to the whole world, and will try to
prevent it from becoming the scene of hos
tilities by occupying each end with troops,
so as to prevent the entrance of any Russian
ships.”
Camp Cewin, Jane 14.—Circassians in the
Russian service, numbering six cavalry
regiments, having refused to operate against
their Mohammedan brethren have been
sent from the main colnmn towards
Bayazid.
The Bussians who retired from Penek
Olti and Saghanla have gathered round
Kars.
Constant: nop lb, June 14.—The Turkish
newspapers, in referring to the peace ru
mors lately current, are stroDgly adverse to
peace and dismiss the subject as unworthy
of discussion.
London, June 14.—The limes’ correspon
dent at Bucharest telegraphs ih4l “the Rus
sians and Tnrks have constructed strong
batteries on the opposite shores of the Dan
ube at Satnrnou and Isaklichi, where
tbe Knssians crossed in 1828. The
The immense mass of material which the
Russians are moving towards the Danube
can scarcely be lodged in depots on the
river before the 1st of July. It is therefore
scarcely probable that any attempt will be
made to cross before that month, and this
supposition is strengthened by tbe
present state of the Dannbe. The
enemy will certainly be on the alert
on account of the Czar’s arrival at head
quarters, aud therefore, instead of the
Czar’s arrival, as thought by some, being au
indication of immediate activity, it is much
more probable that it will be allowed to lose
its awakeniog effect on the Turks, and they
will be suffered to relapse into their usual
lethargio state. I do not believe the Bus-
sians will cross at tbe earliest moment prac
ticable, but probably, after the first alarm
when the activity aroused by their appear
at.ee in close proximity to the Dannbe has
subsided."
Judge Lochrane, of Oeorgia, ia quoted in
high circles as saving that he is “no candl
date himself for the Supreme bench, but, if
any Georgian is appointed, he favors Judge
Warner, the present Chief Justice, as the
ablest constitutional lawyer iu the State.’

TURKISH SUCCESSES I.N AS 14 *11 \OR
[By Cable to the Morning News.]
London, June 14.—The Reuter Telegram
Company has received the following dis
patch:
“Constantinople, Jane 13, p. m.—The
Saltan is staying at the offioe of the Minis
ter of War, awaiting news from Kars, where
a great battle is progressing.”
The Daily News’ Vienna dispatch has the
following: “Certain signs point to Thursday
or Friday next as the date of orossing the
Dannbe. Just before that operation takes
place, it is expected that the Czar will issue
a manifesto.”
It ia again rumored that Savfet Pasha has
requested the Sultan to entrust him with a
peace mission to Ploiesti.
A special to the Daily Telegraph from
Vienna Wednesday says: “Suleiman Pasha
started yesterday to revictual Nicsic tor
year.”
The Telegraph's Batoum dispatch states
that the BussiaDS are pushing their Biege
works. Reinforcements are greatly needed,
as without relief tho troops there will be
come tired out. Tbe Turkish officers are
despondent.
Constantinople, June 14.—An official
telegram dated June 13th says: “Suleiman
Pasha has forced the entrance of Duga Pass
after a sanguinary battle, and is advancing
on Nicsic. The Montenegrins are in full
retreat. Suleiman’s junction with two
other Turkish corps is expected imme
diately.”
Erzeboum, June 14.—The Turks, after
occupying Olti, marched in advance of Ar.
dahan.
A Russian detachment has been sent from
Ardahan to the left centre.
Twelve battalions of troops, a field bat
tery and fonr mountain guns have left Deli
baba to attack a column of the Bussian left
wing before Toprak Kaleh.
Constantinople, June 14.—Three attacks
wore made on Friday by tbe Russians
against Fort Tomaz, which was erected in
1855, to strengthen the defense of Fort Veli
Pachi, which is the key to Kars. Other re-
turned attacks followed ou Saturday, but
the result is unknown.
A dispatch from Lieutenant General Meh-
med Ali, dated Jo no 12, announces the defeat
of the Montenegrins at Atchina.
London, June 14.— A Rustohnk dispatch,
dated yesterday, says: “Last night a party
of Rnssians near Maretin attempted an at
tack in boats on a Turkish monitor there,
but tbe latter, with the help of a laud bat
tery, beat them off. To-day another attack
was made on the islands, but the Turks
compelled the enemy to retreat. Both
affairs are considered feints to find oat the
position of the Turkish batteries.”
The second edition of the Stan dard pub
lishes a dispatch from its special corres
pondent with Monkhtar Pasha’s camp, dated
Zeivin, June 12, which says reports
have arrived from Kars that the Bussians
have massed ronnd Kars all the
troops which they brought from Ardahan,
Oumry, Kagishinan and Sourioamiche. For
several days they nave attempted to storm
portB Tamaz and Kardogh, bat on every
occasion have been repnlsed. On Saturday
they made a desperate effort to take posses
sion of some of the heights, when the gar
rison of Kars made a sortie in force with
field artillery and repnlsed the Bussians
with great loss. There are no Russian sol
diers between Olti and Erzeronm. Monkhtar
Pasha’s pickets extend from his camp at
Washinoton, Jane 14.—Mr. French, Assis
tant Secretary of the Treasury, has given
an opinion to Secretary Sherman to tbe ef
fect that all United States bonds issned since
the date T/hen silver was demonetized, are
payable in gold and not in silver. This
opinion has been approved of by Secretary
Sherman.
The commissioners estimate the fraction -
al currency out of circulation, from loss or
destruction, at eight million dollars. It
is believed Sherman will issue silver change
to this amount.
Commissioner Baum has received a letter
sigoed by about fifty prominent citizens of
Soutnwestern Virginia, among whom are two
Conuty Judges, two Distrlot Attorneys and
other officials, asking that a sufficient force
be sent to co-operate with them in bringing
illicit distillers to justice.
Henry B. Nicholls has been commissioned
Postmaster at Norfolk.
Secretary Sherman’s opinion seems to be
that all that is necessary is to make the sil
ver dollar a legal tender precisely as tbe pa
per dollar now is, and let the amount of
coinage be regulated by the wants of the
people. To those who desire to exchange
paper for silver he would give the fullest op
portunities, aud he thinks that there would
then be no trouble about what sort of cur
rency they have.
Secretary Sherman says the letter printed
this morning on the subject of the payment
of bonds in gold, and signed by H. F.
French, Assistant Secretary, is not to be
regarded as the official action of the Treas
ury Department, as it was intended only
as an expression of the individual views of
Mr. French. The Secretary has not taken,
nor will he take any action in the matter, as
to do so would seem to preclude the action
Congress might determine to take on the
subject.
The State Department has a copy of the
nkase official, famished by Russia. It
allows subjects ot neutral States to continue
their commercial intercourse with Russian
ports and cities, provided they observe the
laws of the empire and the principles of in
ternational law so far as this is allowable by
tbe conditions of military operations.
The issue of one and two dollar green
backs was discontinued at the treasury in
this city mainly to indnee the banks and in
dividuals to take and put in circulation the
silver coin. Silver is now going out of the
treasury at the rate of a million per
month, and the fall greenback fund of ten
millions of dollars authorized by law is so
well assured that tbe Treasury will proba
bly soon resume the shipments of ono and
two dollar bills.
Gen. B. H. Dockery, ex-member of Con
gress from North Carolina, who has been in
the city several days in consultation with
the President and Cabinet, bad an interview
with the Postmaster General to-day relative
to postal affairs in that State, which was
mos: satisfactory.
Special Agent J. F. Hester, under instruc
tions from the Department of Justice, leaves
to-night for North Carolina to summons
witnesses in the case of United States
Deputy Marshal Franks, who is under
charges here, preferred againBt him by
Marshal B. M. Douglass, of the Western
District ot North Carolina, for fraud against
the United States Government.
General C. F. Henningson is dead.
Bbest, June 14.—The BassiLn frigates
which have been lying in this harbor sailed
to-day. Their destination ia unknown.
Obsova, Jane 14.—Pnnc6 Milan is here
en route to Ploiesti.
Constantinople, Jane 14.—The Bnsslans
have erected a battery on an island opposite
Bnstchnk.
Belgrade, June 14.—A decree has been
issued convoking the Skuptschina in extra
ordinary session at Kragujeoatz on July 1st.
Berlin, June 14.—The Russians have or
ganized fifteen field hospitals, containing
altogether twenty thousand beds, to be dis
tributed over Ronmania and the adjoining
districts. This provision for the sick and
wounded is thought sufficient for all emer
gencies.
Vienna, Jane 14 The Political Corres
pondence has a telegram from Bucharest
that Prince Gortschahoff and General Igna-
tieff intend to reside some time at Bu
charest.
The royalty of twenty-fire cents on
each passenger to Mount Vernon netted
$27,000 to the association last year.
ST. Louis commescial fire insurance
' COMPANY.
St. Louis, Jane 14.—A dispatch says:
“There is considerable sensation among
the stockholders of tbe Commercial Fire In
surance Company, which made an assign
ment on Tuesday. Joseph Bogy, son of
United States Senator Bogy, was President
of the company, aud its active manager.
Senator Bogy was the heaviest stockholder.
He stated that he is a loser to
the extent of a buDdrud thousand dollars
cash, and that the disaster will ruin him
financially if his creditors are not iodulgent.
Joseph Bogy lo-es sixty thonsand dollars in
cluding a full mortgage ou his residence and
all bis property. Joseph Bogy was also
President of the Exchange Bank of this
city aDd to-day resigned that position. His
friends represent that he is completely
crushed.”
THE RUSSIAN LOAN TAKEN.
London, June 14.—The limes, in its finan
cial colnmn, says : “The Bussian loan of
$75,000,000, the Imperial ukase authorizing
which was published at St. Petersburg yes
terday, is said to have been originally
offered to houses here and refused.
It is now to be i-sued at Paris
and Berlin. It is stated that the
issue price is seventy per cent., and that
a syndicate of bankers hare taken the loan
at a net price, so far below this figure as to
leave ample margin in the face of fact that
an internal forced loan of 200,000,000
roubles has also been decreed. Th.s bor
rowing does indeed indicate rapid exhaus
tion.”
FEELING THE VATICAN.
London, June 14. — The Times' Rome
special reports that a personage of high po
sition directly inquired of the Holy See bow
it would look upon a Bonapartist movement
in France. On its reply a more or less en
ergetic svstem ot agitation would depend ;
bat the Vatican has made no sign.
