TAPPING THE WIRES.
The Spanish Minister has thanked the
Secretary of State for his inquiries in refer
ence to the alleged filibustering expeditions
preparing at New Orleans, against the is
land of Cuba. He also promises that his
government will take pleasure in inquiring
into the alleged outrage upon our flag in the
case of the whaling schooner Ellen Rizpah,
which was hoarded by a Spanish man of-
war and her Captain imprisoned.
The Russians made a determined attack
on Kara on Sunday, which was repeated
on Monday and Tuesday, sanguinary fight
ing commencing at dawn and lasting until
dark following each attack. From the
meagre and unsatisfactory reports received
by telegraph it seems that the Russians
were repulsed by the Turks, with great
slaughter, but nothing definite or decisive
has been received by cable.
According to the Bal.imore San corre
spondent. Chief Justice Waite, who presided
at the Ellenton not trial, was not pleased
with his experience in South Carolina. He
didn’t like the composition of the jnry on
the color line, and the impression produced
on the mind of the Judge was, that some of
the persons were guilty and should have
been punished.
A correspondent at Russian headquarters
gives the following as details of Gortscha-
koff’a reply to Derby : If the Turks make
peace directly after Russia crosses the Bal
kans Russia will be ready to accord peace^
but if otherwise, she would have no alterna
tive but to conquer and dictate peace to the
Porte.
The death of Lady Sterling Maxwell, for
merly lion. Mrs. Norton, is announced.
She was married to Lord Stanley Maxwell
on the first of March last. At that time she
was confined to her chair with rheumatism
and was seventy years old.
Gen. Grant waB presented with the free
dom of the city of London at Guildhall
yesterday, and will slosh around that b g
town like any other “sovereign.” He is said
to have made a “speech” on the occasion.
The President and the Secretary of the
Treasury have had an interview for the pur
pose of making each understand the financial
views of the other. It is said that the effort
was unsuccessful.
It is settled that the Czar will return to
Russia as soon as he shall have witnessed
and p&rticipa’ed in the passage of the Dan
ube.
A Vienna correspondent states that the
Russians have collected only sufficient ma
terial for the construction of two or three
crossings on the Danube.
The b'eore'ary of the Treasury announces
the report of a disagreement between Mr.
Hayes and himself on the subject of
finances as “nonsense.”
Moukhta" Pasha’s position at Zewin is be
lieved to be unassailable. His right con
fronts the Russ an left in the open plain of
Alashkirt, and an engagement is imminent.
Monkhiar Pasha has been reinforced by
twenty ^battalions from Trebizond, which
will enable him to act on the defensive.
Thu Russian army, like the Turks, soout
at the idea of peace, and look to Constant^
■op e as the only goal that can content it.
The Russian detachment which occupied
Soghauli, has fallen back in the direction
of Kars.
The Timet says a restrained feeling in
financial matters is taking hold of the peo
ple in reference to Eastern affairs.
Bucharest is vaca'eA of Rnssiau officers,
they having been called elsewhere on duty.
The new extradition treaty with England
was discussed in the Cabinet yesterday.
The Boston Traveller's Washington
corresjiondent is incensed at the treat
ment which Southern Republicans re-
ceivo at the hands of the administration.
He says: “If there ever was a persecuted
and abused set of men it is the Southern
Republicans, who are literally hunted by
the nnderstrappers who are running the
Hayes regime. They forget that their
master never could have been ‘counted
in’ had it not been for the Southern
States which- gave him their electoral
votes.’ Hayes may expect to have it oast
in his face a good many times during the
next four years by Republicans that he
and Packard, on the basis of the votes
actually cast, occupied exactly the same
position os regards their respective
•offices. _
At the next Mississippi election two
amendments to the constitution of that
State are to be voted upon—one to abol
ish the offioe of Lieutenant Governor,
and the other to have the Legislature
meet every two years instead of every
year.
Doctor Grant.
It is well said by the Baltimore Gazette
that if the Oxford University can stand
the degradation of its collegiate honors
which will follow npon the conferring by
it on ex- President Grant the degree of
D. C. L., (Doctor of Civil or Canon Law,)
why. Grant can. That is, the Gazdte is
right if it takes the customary and prac
tical view of the question. Of all men
in the United States, probably the Uni
versity could not have picked ont a man
for this degree who is more ignorant of
law, and who, at the same time,
possesses a greater oontempt for
all civil law than Ulysses I. Not
withstanding the unhappy circumstances
which forced him to leave the army and be-
chine a citizen, subjeot entirely to civil
laws: notwithstanding that after this, his
compulsory adoption of civil life, the same
circumstances, no donbt, made him fre
quently amenable to these laws—a fact
which may aooount for his poor opiDiou
of them, for “thief ne’er felt the halter
draw,” etc.—the early impression made
upon his miDd by his West Point train
ing were never entirely effaced. The one
and only notion which seemed to prevail
with him at all times regarding
law, was that it was a thing to be made
and enforced by guns with bayonets fixed
while his only idea of a court was that
derived from courts martial. The first
thing he did when assuming “the sceptre
of the American commonwealth” showed
his utter ignorance of the constitution of
his country when, oontrary to its pro
visions, he appointed A. T. Stewart, 1
merohant in trade, Secretary of the
Treasury in hi3 Cabinet; nor did
he seem to have improved in his
knowledge in this respect, when, later
on, he spoke of “the salary of the Presi
dent as fixed by the Constitution.”* In
deed, the last remark goes to establish
what we have originally stated—that he
was not only ignorant of oivil law, but
felt an utter oontempt for it—more than
anything else, for if such had not been
the case, he, most surely, would have in
formed himself thoroughly on a subject
so near and dear to his heart as was his
salary. No, it is lamentably true that
Grant is just as ignorant of law to-cay as
be was when engaged in soaking hides in
his tanyard. And, in this view of the
matter, the University in bestowing its
honorary degree on him showed so much
carelessness that it mast suffer for it in
the eyes of the world.
Still there is another aspect of the ease
whioh the University may have con
sidered. In one respect Grant is a splen
did Doctor of Laws. Didn’t he fix up
the laws of Louisiana to suit himself on
all occasions? Didn't he send troops
down there to force his man Kellogg as
Governor of the people in spite of the
law of the State which declared that the
man receiving the highest number of
votes cast at the election should be Gov
ernor? Didn’t he again send his soldiers
down there to take possession of the
State Legislature so that he could
doctor the laws exactly to suit him
self? And didn’t his man Phil
Sheridan declare to the world that the
gentlemen of New Orleans, comprising
some of the most intelligent men in the
country, were banditti, and that their
laws were in a dreadfully unhealthy con
dition and sadly needed dootoring ? Nay,
didn’t the ex President go still further,
and on one occasion, doctor the Supreme
Bench of the Uuited States to secure the
reversal of a decision of that, heretofore,
high and honorable body whioh was ob
noxious to his wishes ? Didn’t he do nil
these thiegs and much more besides in
the same . direction ? History
snys he did and we cannot,
therefore, expect that the Oxford
University had either time or inclination
to eo behind these historical returns. It
was then evidently this view of the case
which that institution took when it came
to the conclusion that Grant was a pow
erful doctorer of laws, and should be
dubbed with its degree of D. 0. L.
And now having the degree, the Doctor
would almost give his existence to be
able after the fourth of March, 1881, to
vindicate his right to it. But happily,
he will never again have that opportunity.
Grant on Free Trade.
Manchester has always been celebrated
for improving its business opportunities.
When ex-President Grant visited the
town hall the other day, the Town Clerk
Sir Joseph Heron, put it, with character
istic meekness, in this way : “It will pro
bably not be inappropriate if we, the
municipal representatives of a large man
ufacturing community,venture to expresh
the hope that your investigations arising
out of this visit will ultimately tend to
the interchange of ideas pointing to the
abolition of restrictions on trade, and to
the establishment by common oonsent of
free commercial intercourse between
England and America.” The New York
Bulletin thinks our ex-sovereign’s re
sponse was studiously non committal.
He said: “I am, and have been, fully
aware for many years of the great amount
of manufactures in this city, many of
whioh find a market in my own country."
Is it not more probable that Grant's
seeming non-eommitalism was owing to
his failure to comprehend the drift of the
Town Clerk’s remarks ? Grant wbs “fully
aware” of a faot familiar to every school
boy in the United States, but we question
very muoh if he really comprehended the
relation between the facts allnded to and
the establishment of free trade between
England and America. Grant is great on
the free lunch, but be knows very little
and cares less about free trade.
The New York Sun (Independent) an
nounces the following as the “straight
Republican ticket for 1880”:
For President.
Ulysses S. Grant, of Illinois.
For Vice President.
Edward S. Pierrepont, of New York.
THE PLATFORM.
“No man worthy the office of Presi
dent should be willing to bold it if
counted in, or placed there, by any
fraud.”
The Radical organs hesitate to endorse
the 8un's nominations, and the Evening
Post goes so far as to express its doubts
of the sincerity of the Sun.
Prominent politicians from the West
ern States, who have recently visited
Washington, express the opinion that the
prospects of a Democratic triumph in
Ohio next autumn are excell nt, provided
no extreme course is pursued at the State
Convention. They say that if the con
vention declares for a restoration of the
old silver dollar, the repeal of the re
sumption act and agiinst further contrac
tion of the currency, avoiding resolutions
favoring inflation or a war on the national
banks, there will be no difficulty in car
rying Ohio.
The lawyers employed by the city of
New York to conduct the Tweed ring
prosecutions have received as fees $230,-
000 out of the $700,000 cash recovered
from the thieves, and the fees of the
counsel on the $400,000 Sweeney is to
pay will amonnt to a good deal more.
These legal gentlemen would probably
like to prolong the prosecutions indefi
nitely.
And now Pitkin is ambitious of becom
ing a martyr.
The Russo-Turkish War.
As anticipated from the first, it has
turned out that the Czar is having no
easy time in his tnaroh to Turkish con
quest. The latest news from the seat of
war is to the effect that a great battle has
been fought before Kars, commencing on
Saturday last, continuing four days, and
ending with the repulse of the Musco
vites with great slaughter. The Turks,
it seems, fought with desperation, and,
retreat being cat off, every Russian gun
ner’s corpse was left on the field
near his gun. This victory will of coarse
give the Turks renewed confidenoe, and
will tend still more to delay and
embarrass the Russian advance. If
the war is prolonged, however, as it is
now being condnoted, the immense supe
riority of numbers possessed by the Czar
must make the conquest of Turkey but a
question of time. Indeed, Russia speaks
already as if this was a fixed fact, it being
announced that even her soldiers would
be filled with passionate disgust if peace
should be hinted at, while Prince’ Gorts-
chakoff writes as if he regarded it en
tirely in the power of his government to
either dictate peace on its own terms or
to oonquer it.
The true object of the war is also be
ing confessed, for, say the dispatches,
“there can be no question that the army
regards Constantinople as the only goal
that can content it,” and Gortschskoff
further says to Lord Derby that “if Eng
land wishes to prevent the Russians from
entering Constantinople, she has only to
exert her influence upon the Turks in or
der to induoe them to yield immediately
after the Balkans are passed.” In other
words, it is a plain statement to
England that unless she forces the Sublime
Porte to make peace on Muscovite terms,
even her (England’s) threats of taking
part in the struggle, will not deter the
Russian Government from continuing the
fight. What the terms of that peace
would be, it is easy to foresee. Nothing
less than free navigation of the Black
Sea, and unmolested egress and ingress
through the Bosphorus would be oon
sidered. These being obtained, Russia
will have all ahe desires, and there is little
doubt but that it will then be ascertained
that “protection of Christians” was
only a pretext for beginning the
war, and though for the sake of consisten
cy something might be said in the con
ditions about guarantees for the safety
of Turkish subjects of that faith from
future persecutions, still such assurances
will be regarded only as a secondary mat
ter. Christians or no Christians, Russia
wants either Constantinople or the same
privileges as if she actually
the city.
The Virginia Military Institute.
We have received a copy of the official
register of the above institution, from
whioh we gather some quite interesting
facts.
The school was established in 1839 as a
State military and scientific school, upon
the basis of the United States Military
Academy at West Point. Its career from
the time of its inception until the late
war was one of marked succoss. During
the conflict between the North and
South it was a terrible sufferer,
the army of General Hunter, one
of the greatest vandals of the war,
having passed over and destroyed
its handsome buildings, its library of
10,000 volumes, and its philosophical
apparatus used by the lamented Stone
wall Jackson for ten years. Immediately
after the war, however, it was reorgan-
zed, and electing General G. W. Custis
Lee and Colonel William B. Blair, dis
tinguished graduates of Wtst Point, to
fill the vacancies in its faculty caused by
the deaths of Generals Stonewall Jack-
son and R. E. Rodes, again started, and
has met with eminent success. Its pu
pils now number fifty State and two
hundred pay cadets, the former consist
ing of young men from Virginia,
whose board and tuition is paid by the
State, and the latter of young men from
all the States of the Union, who pay
their own expenses, amounting to $500
per annum. An interesting feature of
the institution is the awarding to the
first and second highest graduates in each
year a medal called the “Jackson-Hope
Medal,” provided by a fund sent for the
purpose to the Governor of Virginia by
Hon. C. J. Beresford Hope, member of
the British Parliament, to be invested as
the foundation of a further memorial of
the great soldier so long connected with
the school. The institute numbers now
1,113 graduates. The course is very
thorough and comprehensive; it contains
a full library, and is one of the finest in
stitutions of its class in the world.
A spring snow storm in Nevada has a
peculiar effect either upon vegetation or
the editorial imagination, or both. The
Virginia Enterprise ssjb of one : “The
little trees held up their arms all of a
tremble and shook their leaves beseech
ingly, and as if in protest. The roses
drooped and died as though they had been
disappointed in love. In the valleys the
blossoms on the frnit trees looked up and
smiled, as beauty always smiles in the
embrace of the destroyer. The sage
brush and bunch grass snagged a little
closer to the hillsides and never com
plained at all.”
What a pity the people of South Caro
lina cannot forget their dignity and self-
respect sufficiently to induce them to
take off the hat, aud bow the obsequious
knee to the grand, gloomy and peculiar
Chief Justice ol the Supreme Court of
the United State , when he comes among
them. Here is Judge Waite snivelling
over the fact that he was not pleased
with his experience, either civil or social,
during his recent visit to that State. He
is so mad about it, too, that nothing less
than the blood of some of the Ellenton
prisoners will suffice to appease his
indignation.
The suddenness with whioh Republi
can organs, that only a brief year ago
were vigorously applauding the Southern
policy of Grant, have developed an
equally intense admiration for the South
ern polioy of Hayes, is, says the New
York Nun,more amusing than surprising.
The creed whioh Hosea Biglow put in the
mouth of his fanciful administration
editor, twenty-one years ago, is still
widely professed and exemplified:
“I da believe tljet I should give
NVnt’e his'11 unto Csesar,
Fer it’s by him I move and live,
From him my bread and cheese air;
I du believe thet all of me
Doth bear his souperscription—
Will, conscience, honor, honesty.
An’ things o’ that demerit tion.”

[By Cable to the Morning News.]
A Pittsburg dog owner, a Radical sin
ner, somewhat miscalculated the sagacity
of his new bull-dog. Policeman came to
arrest him for some crime. He called
out the beast and oried “Sick ’em,” but
instead of sailing into the police, it seized
his own leg and hung on faithfully. Some
dogs seem to have an intuitive knowledge
of charaoter even on a short acquaintance.
As the old rhyme has it:

A *hief at night.”
The recent enthusiastic reception of
Messrs. Tilden and Hendricks at the
Manhattan Club, New York, together
with theii honest and manly utteranoes
on that occasion, are worrying the Radi
cal press of the North tremendously.
London, June 15 A dispatch to the Daily
Telegraph trom Boglias via Erzeroum, says:
“The Russians made a determined attack on
Kars. The fighting lasted during Saturday,
Sunday and Monday, and the Muscovite
troops were repulsed with great slaughter.
Every effort has been made to obtain details
regarding the great battle now in progress
before Kars. The battle was began on Sat
urday last by a determined attack of the
Russians; the coufliat was renewed at day
light Sunday, the Russians having effected
a lodgment in one of the outer earthworks
on the previous night. The Russians are
reported to have held their ground during
the whole of Monday aud Monday night.
On Tuesday the Turks began the fight,
assuming the offensive, and by making
most desperate sorties succeeded in sur
prising the Russians by a flank movement.
The slaughter that followed was very great.
The last action of the Russian gunners was
to spike the few Turkish field pieces which
they bad captured in the redoubt. Retreat
had meanwhile become utterly impossible.
As a result Dearly every gunner’s corpse was
found near the guu he bad served. The
Turks again assumed the offensive aud ral
lied out to attack the main body of the
RussianFin the open ground.”
A correspondent at St. Petersburg tele
graphs that Monkhtar Pasha has been rein
forced by twenty battalions from Tre
bizond.
The speoial correspondent of the News at
Bucharest telegraphs as follows : “On the
Russian army any foreshadowing of peace
would fall with a thrill or passionate disgust
that would strain the bonds of discipline to
the utmost. There cau be no question that
the army regards Constantinople as the only
goal that can content it. I understand it Is
settled that the Czar will retnrn to Russia
immediately after he has witnessed and par
ticipated in the passage of the Dannbe.
There are now comparatively few Russian
officers in Bucharest; their duties call them
elsewhere.
A special dispatch from Vienna to the News
Bays: “Letters from a special correspondent
itate that the Russians have collected only
snffioient pontoon material for two or three
crossings.”
A special correspondent of the Newt at
Russian headquarters professes to give far
ther details of Prince GortschakofTg reply
to Earl Derby as follows: “If the
Turks make peace directly after Russia
orosses the Balkans, the Russians will
be ready to accord peaoe, bat if otherwise,
Bho would have no alternative bat to con
quer and dictate p eace to the Porte. If
England wishes to prevent the Russians
from entering Constantinople she has only
to exert her influence npon the Turks in or
der to induce them to yield immediately
arter the Balkans are passed.”
Erzebouk, June 15.—Monkhtar Pasha's
position at Zewin is believed to be unassail
able.
The Turkish right confronts the Russian
left in the open district of Alashkirt. An
engagement is imminent.
The Russian detachment of the centre
whioh occupied Soghauli has fallen back in
the direction of Kars.
London, June 14.—A Reuter’s Vienna dis
patch says: “In connection with the proseou-
tion of some Internationalists, an official
employed in the library of the Vienna Uni
versity, was arrested and documents discov
ered at his house proving the existenoe of
an Iuternstionslist’s propaganda aiming at a
revolution in Russia and Austria.”
The Vienna Political Gorrespoddence pub
lishes the following : “A Belgrade telegram
says Servia will remain neutral under any

declared in express term s in a speech from
the throne at the opening of the Skupt-
sehina.”
Pesth, June 15.—Minister Tizzi, replying
to interpellations of the extieme anti-Rus
sian party, said: “The government was
prepared to submit to criticism rather than
pursue a policy contrary to Austro-Hunga
rian interests. Foreign powers had never
manifested greater confi leuoe in and friend -
ship towards the conmry than at present.”
London, June 15.—The Paris coirespond
ent of the Times says he has received a
letter from Ploiesti,emanating from one who
is in a position to have exact information.
The writer says : “I have just read Prince
GortschakofiTi reply. It is conciliatory, but
firm as to Constantinople. Nobody says
Prince Gortschakoff can predict the course
or issne of the war, but neither the question
of Constantinople nor the Dardanelles can be
settled apart from Europe. The Emperor
does not wish to take possession of Constan
tinople. The policy of Russia has been mis
understood. Ameries pensees have been
imputed to her that she has not entertained.
By this menacing distrust her commerce
and indnstry have been paralyzed. This
state of things mast cease. As events and
the bad faith or the Turks forced the Em
peror to draw the sword, ho will not replace
it until the questions at issue have been set
tled and the programme of Russia receives
full satisfaction.

[By Telegraph to the 31oming News 1
Washington, Jane 15.—The Spanish Min
ister called npon the Secretary of State and
thanked him for the measures of inquiry
instituted in regard to alleged filibustering
movements at New Orleans against the
Island of Cuba. Minister Mantilla stated
that it would be the pleasure of his govern
ment to make inquiry into the alleged out
rages upon an American whaling vessel, the
Ellen Rizpah, and if the facts as informally
stated are sustained, he felt that proper
measures would be taken to assure the Gov
ernment of the United States of the friendly
disposition of the government of Spain.
The Republican publishes a column arti
cle in deprecation of its recent article
deprecating the President’s action in
the Louisiana Marshalship. In the mosaic
of Wharton’s display of his suitableness to
be Marshal, the Republican finds that the
following gentlemen explicitly recommend
Col. Wharton’s appointment as United
States Marshal, viz: Ex-Governor S. B.
Packard, Judgo Alexander Walker, Hon. H.
O. Warm jth, Hon. L. A. Sheldon, Ex-Gov-
ornor W. P. Kellogg, Ex-Governor D.
P. Penn, W. H. Roberts, editor of the
Timet; W. R. Fish,editor of the Republican;
O. J. Hearsy, editor of the Democrat; Geo.
Nicholson, editor of the Picayune; Isaao N.
Stenebergcr, editor of the New Orleans
Times; M. F. Bigney, oditor of the New
Orleans Advertiser; A. D. Battle, editor of
the Shreveport Times; J. Hapinger, editor
of the New Orleans German Gazette; Hon.
P, B. Pinchback, J. C. Denis, Administrator
of Finance; Charles Cavanac, Administrator
nt Commerce; Gen. J. B. Hood, E. B. Whee-
look, President of the New Orleans and
Pacific Railway, and others. The Republican
then publishes the letters of some of
these gentlemen, not, however, including
Packard’s, aud concludes: “These facts are
important as tonding to vindicate the coarse
of the President in regard to this matter.
It is noticeable in the Republican’s review
of papers that no one having mnch hope of
office from the administration appears to
have recommended Whartoa, and especially
for Marshal.”
The Baltimore Sun’s Weihington special
says, alluding to Chief Justioe Waite : “Al
though it is not stated by his authority, it is
known that the Chief Justice was not ploased
with his experience in South Carolina,
either political or social. In regard to the
trial of the Ellenton prisoners the Chief
Justice was not pleased that the jury were
divided on the color line, the six black
jurors being for conviction, and the six
white jurors for acquittal. The impression
produced on the mind of the Chief Justice
was that some of the prisoners were guilty
and ought to have been convicted.”
On dit, that the President and the Secre
tary of the Treasury made an ineffectual
effort yesterday to make one another under
stand each other's finaneisi views.
The Cabinet to-day was unusually long.
McCrary and Thompson were represented
by subordinates.
Rutherford Platt Hayes, the third son of
the President, is at home from school for
vacation.
Secretary Thompson returns to-morrow.
Chief Justice Waite goes to Connecticut
for the summer.
The Secretary and suite will return from
West Point to-morrow evening.
The movements of Lieutenant Flipper, of
the cavalry, are not bulletined.
Secretary Sherman pronounces it nonsense
about himself aud the President disagree
ing about finances yesterday.
Gen. Hayes,a member of Beecher’s obnreb,
becomes Collector of Internal Revenue for
the Brooklyn district.
Two special agents have been sent to
North Carolina. It seems that the govern
ment has been charged for the destruction
of imaginary stills on the ground that they
were illicit.
John A. Hyman, colored, ex-member of
Congress, has been appointed Collector of
the Second district of North Carolina, vice
Powers.
Kenneth Raynor, of North Carolina, has
been appointed Solicitor of the Treasury,
vice Tallbot resigned. This the office de
clined by Gov. Chamberlain.
Major H. B. Reese, paymaster, is relieved
from duty in the Department of the South.
The Cabinet discussed the new extradi
tion treaty with England and decided to
locate the consolidated pension offices at
Springfield instead of Chicago, and Knox
ville instead of Richmond. The list of
agents for the consolidated positions has
not been fixed. Hayes and Schnrz are hope
ful of being able to' dispose of these offices
on civil service principles, giving consol!
dated positions to agents shewing the best
record in their respective regions.
Mr. Lodge reports as the result of the of
ficial canvass of the area of cotton this year
an increaso of nearly 4 per centum upon the
acreage of 1876. North Carolina declines
4 per cent., and Soath Carolina 3; Georgia
and Florida, an increase each of 1 per cent;
Alabama aDd Tennessee 2; Mississippi 4;
Arkansas 5; Louisiana 6; and Texas 15,
The States of the largest acreage are, re
spectively, Mississippi, Texas, Alabama and
Georgia. The condition is lower than in the
past twenty years in Jane, bat higher than
in 1874. The State averages of condition are
as follows: North Carolina 82; Sonth Caro
lina 91; Georgia 89; Florida 92; Alabama 90;
Mississippi 91; Louisiana 98; Texas 91;
Arkansas 94; Tennessee 94. There
were several frosts in May in North
Carolina, and snow was as late
as the 10th. In some sections
little rain fell during the month, in others
cold rains impaired the condition. Imper
fect stands are genera], and from one-third
to two-thirds of the area of certain counties
have been replanted. The weather hau been
unfavorable since replanting. The cutworm
has been destrnctive. The growth is from
one to two weeks late in Booth Carolina, aud
stands imperfect; drought and low night
temperatnro are injurious. In some cases
the early plant died, and replantings failed
to germinate. There is much complaint in
Georgiaof.a poor stand.cansed by oold weath
er, entworms, crickets, grasshoppers and
aphides. Some instanoes of replanting and
planting of other crops have oocnrred. Un-
propitious weather in Florida.imp-nred the TploffPOma
stands and condition, but the plant is im- tVllQIllgllL XtjLoJg 1 dlllS
proving under the recent elevation of the
temperature. There is some complaint of
non-germination in Alabama and Missis
sippi which is less general than on the At
lantic coast. Plants are backward and
aphides troublesome. Areas, at first too
wet, have since been too dry and cold. The
crop is two weeks late in tho central and
northern sections, bnt is in good condition
in more southern districts. In Lonisiaoa ger
mination has been prompt and the growth is
vigorous and culture hotter thau usual.
The cold nights have injured the early
plants. Areas of rain is needed in some lo
calities. In Texas the plant is from two to
four weeks late from cool nights, rain and
bail storms. Instead of droughts, aud from
destruction by grasshoppers and cutworms.
A second planting has been attacked, and
in some cases a third planting has been made
with a prospect of a fair crop. The plants
are of irregular size, generally small, bnt
healthy aud promising, with excep
tional areas infeoted by rust and
lice. In Arkansas cool nights and rains
necessitated replanting, and drought has
since prevented a vigorous growth. In some
counties stands are good, and fields are
generally cleaner than usual. Similar meteo
rological conditions have been encountered
in Tennessee, but the plants, though small,
are generally healthy, and clean culture
prevails. Io a word, the season has been
too oool for cotton ; too wet at the time of
planting, and too dry sinco. In all of the
area, except Texas, the plant is now gener
ally small, but healthy and free from weeds
and in condition to improve rapidly with
favorable weather. Cutworms and aphides
have had a favorable season for destructive
operations, and grasshoppers have been ex
ceptionally numerous in Texas.
Colonel Samuel Anable, Pension Agent at
Richmond, visited the President this morn
ing and was informed that if the pension
agency remained at Richmond he would be
retained, but if it went to Knoxville a Ten
nessee man would be placed in charge of
the consolidated agoncy. This Interview
occnrred before the Cabinet meeting] at
whioh Knoxville was selected as pension
headquarters,
Collector Simmons, of Boston, called
npou the President for the specific purpose
of ascertaining hie views on the eivil ser
vice system as applicable to the custom
houses. Mr. Simmons especially wished to
know whether the fact that an officer bad
been loyal to the last administration, and
has conducted his office in accordance with
the principles which have been recognized
in all party administrations, was to be urged
against him now. He was informed by the
Presideot that as to the past the present ad
ministration wouid undertake to hold no man
responsible for a system which had been en
couraged and practiced by both par
ties and corrected by none; that the
President was, however, determined
that for the future his pledge of
civil service reform should be
executed to the letter. That persons in
Federal service should have no direct con
nection with or participation in the active
management of politics or its machinery.
That while as other good citizens they are
expected to exercise their choice of suffrage
according to their own will, after the can
didates are chosen and the issues made up.
He did not expect Federal officeholders to
be a part of the political machinery which
manages caucusses, oontrols conventions
and secures nominations, but that the priu-
ciplos of the letter written to the Collector
of Customs at New York were to be made
the general principles of the public service,
and that they would doubtless be soon em
bodied in a general order.

THE M’OLELLAN CASE.
Meridian, Miss , June 15.—Investigation
by United States officers in the case of Mc
Clellan, an alleged British subject, killed in
the Kemper riot, developed the following
facts: McClellan served as a volunteer a
short term in the Confederate army in 1861,
and afterwards sought to avoid conscrip
tion by claiming to be a British subject.
The British Consul at Mobile declined to
protect him, on the ground that he had for
feited such claim by his acts. He performed
many acts of citizenship, but never voted.
He was armed, threatening and obtrusive.

Atlanta, June 15.—Stephen Brinkley was
hanged to-day, at Newnan, for the mnrder
of his wife nearly four years ago. The case
has been tried at seven terms, each time
going against the prisoner. Several times
he has been examined by physicians who
were sent to pronounce upon the condition
of hi* mind, and once by a medical commis
sion. For the past two weeks the most ex
traordinary efforts have been made to secure
Executive interference, three Gov
ernors—Governor Stone, of Mississippi,
aud Governor Porter and Governor N. 8.
Brown of Tennessee—having each sent
papers to Gov. Colqnitt asking for clemency
lor Brinkley. Gen. N. B. Forrest and Gem
W. H. Jackson, with whom Brinkley served
daring the war, wrote to Gov. Colquitt say
ing they believed the condemned of un

tion of being crazy daring the war and was

Lerdo, who were compelled to flee from
Mexico on the accession of Diaz
to power, left this city to-day on
the steamer Constitution. A letter received
here by a mercantile firm from a correspond
ent at Acapnlco corroborates the Dews of
the caDiuro of that place and its bombard
ment by Diaz’s fleet of gunboats, which con
sists of two vessels,which were endeavoring

LIVERPOOL WEEKLY GRAIN MARKET.
Liverpool, June 15.—The leading grain
circular says wheat has declined a shilling
per quarter in some cases. In off- oast and
arrival trade the tendency is against sellers.
Transactions have been small, only eleven
cargoes having been for sale since Tues
day. Wheat aud maize sell slowly in buy
ers’ favor. The arrivals of wheat aud corn
for the past three days have been good. This
market to-day was thinly attended, and the
sale of wheat was consequently limited to
very small transactions. White descriptions
declined two pence per cental, and red
tnree pence. Floor was almost unsaleable
and quoted at one shilling per sack cheaper.
For new corn there was a limited request,
sellers accepting six pence per quarter less.
Old corn was unchanged.

who had given them a friendly reception.
The pilgrims presented the Pope with a
magnificent mitre studded with gems, a
silver vase, and twenty thousand dollars.
The Pope expressed joy at the escape of

The Detroit Free Press desires to
know what has become of Wheeler? The
country was given to understand that
under Hayes the Vice-President was to
be made much of, and not, like Henry
Wilson, under Grant, be treated as a per
sonage whose views were of no conse
quence and whose advice was not wanted;
that he would be something more than
the mere presiding officer of the Senate,
and would be taken into the oiosest coun
sels of the Executive, and be an active
member of the administration. Hayes
has been in office now but three months,
and for the last two of the three Wheeler
has not been heard of as an adviser of
Hayes. Oabinet councils have been held
by the dozen; investigations have been
ordered; many appointments to and re
movals from office have been made; yet
Wheeler does not loom up as a prominent
figure. What is the reason ?

bility, the cures made by the water of Buffalo
Lithia Spring No. 2 have been so remarkable and
astonishing in their character, that they would
not be credited, were they not attended by evi
dence which no amount of incredulity ran resist
In GOUT, RHEUMATISM, PARALYSIS and
affections of the STOMACH, they have accom
plished results as remarkable as any of record.
Thev are A POWERFUL AND PERMANENT
NERVE TONIC, and in NERVOUS EXHAUS
TION or PROSTRATION, and in all cases
where MENTAL DEPRESSION IS A SYMP
TOM, they are an INVALUABLE REMEDY. In
the PECULIAR MALADIES OF WOMEN they
are pronounced by medical men “WELL NIGH
SPECIFIC.”
The waters, in cases of one dozen half gallon
bottles, are for sale at $5 per case, at the Springs.
IN ADVANCE. They can also be had of OSCE.
