It seems to be conceded that the battle of
rievua resulted in a defeat of the Russians.
The battle commenced at nine o’clock Mon
day morning, the Turks, fifty thousand, oc
cupying a naturally strong and artificially
fortified position. The Russians attacked,
carried the line of defence, and got foothold
in Plevna itself, but at sundown the Turks
took the offensive by a continuous forward
movement, and drove the Russians from the
positions they had gained, the Bashi Ba-
zouks following and murdering the wound
ed. Tho Russians have asked permission
to bury their dead. The above is the sub
stance of the cable dispatch to the Mous
ing News, bnt the absence of all earmarks
makes its truthfulness extremely doubtful.
The Roumanian regular army is about to
cross tho Danube at Girla, before Widen
aud opposite Rahova. The bridges are
being built and the material is being floated
to both places. The force about crossing is
fifty thousand, which, in view of reported
Russian reverses, will have an active part
to play on the theatre of war.
It is stated that an understanding has
been arrived at between Germany and Italy
in reference to the position of those gov
ernments on the Eastern question. Italy
will follow Germany’s lead.
The Sknptsclnna has voted loans to Servia
for military purposes, and the annexation of
Old Servia and Bosnia seems to bo the desire
of the War Minister and Prince Milan.
The almost uncontrolled power given to
Count Andrassy by the action of the Austro-
Huogarv Cabinet, it is Baid, will be used
to counteract Servia’s schemes for annexa
tion with Bosnia.
In the midst of the great perturbation of
mind in which Mr. Hayes has existed for
the past two weeke, owing to the labor
strike in the West and North, particularly
in his own dominions, it is nut surprising
that his family are happy at the unqualified
endorsement his policy has received at
Cleveland. So true it is that happiness de
pends more on what others say and do
than on what we say and do ourselves.
The army and the fleet aie scattering from
Washington. Tho Treasury is no longer in
danger of the riotous mob. Admiral Tren-
ebard has gone back to Norfolk. General
Schofield has gone to West Point. Genera.
Sherman, with Kentucky Bacon,has gone to
give moral support to Howard and supply
commissaries for Chief Joe, aud the millions
in the vaults of Washington are now only-
guarded by tho battalion of employes
under the command of tbo Secretary of the
Treasury.
At the Mississippi Democratic State Con
vention Governor Stone was renominated.
It is understood that the Repnblicaus in
that State, demoralized by the civil service
order of Mr. Hayes, have thrown up tb<
sponge, and will not come to time iu tin
contest for State officers. Exit carpet

That healthy witness Stiles, cf Oregon,
who was the Swift witness against Senator
Grover,of Oregon, before the Senate Investi
gating Committee, has been indicted by the
grand jury of Portland for perjury. Thus
all the “truths” of Radicalism is meeting its
just reward.
Advices from Mr. Layard confirm the
victories of the Turks at Plevna. The whole
Russian right wing, numbering forty thou
sand, was engaged.
The Russians attacked Eski Saghra on
Tuesday evening, driving out Ruof Pasha
and occupying the town. Ruof fell back on
Karabuna, but Suleiman Pasha coming up
repulsed the Russians and reoccupied the
town.
The Russians have captured two monitors
near Nicopolis, ready for service. Sailors
have arrived from St. re’ersburg to men
them, and the Grand Duke Alexis will take
command of the Danube flotilla.
The editor of the New Orleans Democrat
is on a brief visit to Washington, and has
called on Secretaries Key and Scburz, and
with them on Mr. Hayes. He was rnucL
gratified at the cordial reception be re
ceived, and thinks that Mr. Hayes is the
Executive of the South as well as the other
sectious of the Union, and that he is the
true friend of the South. During the inter
view Mr. Hayes expressed the hope that he
would be able to visit New Orleans daring
the holiday vacations of Congress.
Major A. Selover knocked over Mr. Jay
Gould at Exchange place, New York, yester
day morning, and the strike cansed consid
erable excitement on ’Change. The trouhit
originated from Gould’s betrayal of a com
bination to put up the price of Lake Short
stock, in which he, with Selover aud Jim
Keene, was interested.
English finances on the occasion of tht
“settlement” seem to be in a bad condition,

Election riots prevail in Grimsby. Tht
mob wrecked the hoiel where Mr. Watkins,
the elected member of Parliament, stayed,
and tried to burn it. Troops were sent to
tho scene, and twelve rioters were arrested
Judge Donahue ba-f bailed his namesake,
Donahue, the leader of the strikers, who
was arrested for contempt in stopping the
trains at Hornelisville, N. Y.
Governor Hartranft laa3 arrived at Wilkes-
barre with one thousand troops, and has
his headquarters in a car. The rioters are
cowed, and an attempt will be made to open
the|Valley Road.
Certain Northern journals are endeav
oring to derive much comfort to them
selves from the theory that the Democra
cy of the South is too solid to last. They
reason that personal ambitions, individual
prejudices and a thousand and one other
things, will arise to divide and demoralize
the Democratic party in this section, and
in this they imagine they can see the
road open for future success to the oppo
sition, whether organized under the name
of Whig, Republican, Independent or
.something else.
That divisions will arise in party ranks
in the South is not unlikely. Large
bodies of men never all think exactly alike.
But such divisions will be entire.y local in
their nature. Those Republican journals
■who reason as above will find out that, on
national matters, there will be no ma
terial difference o:f opinion, and in
national contests the South will remain
solidly Democratic—certainly until after
the next Presidential election. She can
not feel perfectly secure until she sees the
control of this government wholly in the
hands of the party which, at all times,
has striven to protect and befriend her.
A “workingmen’s” meeting was held at
NOW Haven, Connecticut, on Monday
last. The principal speaker was one P.
M McGuire, a leading Mollie Maguire.
Iu the course of his remarks he said,
* ‘the innocent blood of Mollie Maguires
shed on the scaffold cried to heaven for
vengeance. They have been killed to sat-
isfy that bloodthirsty wretch, Frank B.
Gowen, of the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad. The song, ‘Ten Mollie Ma
guires Lie Mouldering in Their Graves,’
would be sung, and would be the beacon
of hope to show that their blood was not
shed in vain.”
On (’omnium-m.
The spirit of Communism which has
been so generally developed by the late
labor troubles in the North, may well ex
cite concern and surprise. It was well
kuown that a body of men, calling them
selves Internationalists, were organ
ized i
purpose of advocating Communis
tic ideas, but it was hardly imagined that
such body had reached anything like the
proportions it has. From what has oc
curred, it would really appear as if the
Communists, subjugated aud badly de
moralized at tbeir old stronghold in Paris,
had transferred their theatre of action to
the northern portion cf the United
States of America.
The real enormity of Communism can
be easily understood by a moment’s con -
sideration of the definition of the tom.
It means literally a having of all things
in common, and the utter abolition cf
property lines. It is the idea of those
who subscribe to its teachings, that there
should be a general division of property
among all mankind. The hard working
min, who by labor and economy has
secured a competence, must, according
to such doctrine, divide his all with the
shiftless creature who will not work, or if
h“ does, takes no thought beyond the grati
fication ot his present selfish desires.
Tneone who has faithfully and manfully
struggled on in life to provide for himself
aud those dependent on him, must needs
share his hard-earned gains with the list
less idle fellow who will not try to take care
of himself, and who never would make an
effort to do so, if he could find others
upon whos6 exertions he could rely for
food aud maintenance. The bare state
ment of such an idea is enough to shock
anyone with its infamy. But bad as this
is, it is not the worst. Your Communist
is the enemy of all that is most sacredly
prized among civilized mankind. He is the
sworn enemy of public worship, of reli
gion, of the marriage tie, of family as well
as property rights—in short,of everything
held dear by society. Could anything
more horrible be imagined than would re
sult if such beings were ever permitted
to secure a strong foothold in any com
munity ?
Yet that there are thousands of such
worthless creaturesin this country anxious
to prey upon their fellow men, has been
fully exemplified during the late strikes.
Indeed, there is no doubt but that the
trouble caused by these strikes gave en
couiagement to the profssssrs of commu
nistic doctrines, for, wherever possible
they t ave taken advantage cf the disorders
created, and have come to the front as
leaders in a wholesale scheme to burn,
plunder and destroy. It followed, natur
ally, therefore, that much popular syni
pathy was lost to the strikers themselves,
for while it is most natural
to sympathize with men who, not
withstanding hard labor, can only
receive therefor barely enough to
keep soul and body together, there cau
be no sympathy felt, when they them -
selves, by interfering with the rights of
others—either by unlawfully striving to
prevent those who desire to work from
doiug so, or, by forcibly endeavoring lo
prevent railroad companies from running
their trains—set an example of lawless
ness, which Communists and Socialists
greedily followed, and eagerly took advan
tago of to promulgate their obnoxious
views, and to commit all manner of
crimes.
Of course, all classes of society must
war against such men, for their teachings
are directly antagonistic to society and
good order; but, probably, there is no
class so much interested in the complete
suppression of Communism as the work
ingmen. Not only do these latter gen
erally have families, and homes of their
owd, gained by years of labor, and to
which they are devotedly attached, but in
seasons of tumult and disorder,when such
lawless vampires turn out, as did turn out
less than two weeks ago in Pittsburg,
to burn aud rob, it is upon the honest
toiler that the great burden of
suffering falls at last. Not only are
many thrown out of work, and, thereby,
lose the only means upon which they have
to rely for support for those dependent
on them, but wanton destruction of pro
perty must always affect them more than
those more bountifully blessed with this
world's goods, on the same principle that
a man worth ten dollars can better stand
the loss of one, than can he who only
possesses five.
But it needs no elaborate demonstra
tion to prove the truth of what is so evi
dent — that the Communist is the
general enemy of all mankind. L
all beware, then, of Communism, and,
since we are so fortunate in the South
as to be free from it now, let every man
in this section S6e to it that it gains no
foothold among our people. Give the
“International” society the cold shoulder,
and let all the members thereof under
stand thoroughly that, here in the South,
at least, “if a man will not work,
neither shall he eat.”
The Question of Employment
It is calculated that there are, at least,
one million of men. mainly in the North
ern cities and towns of the United States,
representing a due proportion of families,
who are either wholly out of employment
or are subsisting on whatever they can
this country, for the make by any “odd jobs” that come in
their way. Of these one-half earn barely
enongh to sustain life, and the other half
on what they can get from charity or
theft.
The cause of this superabundance of
labor material in these cities and towns,
may be traced directly to the war and
the events which followed in its train.
The war first was the means of inducing
thousands of young men, who had con
tentedly resided all their lives on farms,
to visit the cities. Hare, for the first
time, they expenened the whirls and in
toxication of city life, and imbibed a
longing desire to participate therein.
Hence when the war was over, they be
came dissatisfied with the hum-drum mo
notony of the farm and country, and
flocked into town, preferring rather to be
clerks and underlings in a city where
they could “see life,” than enjoy the hon
est, if homely, independence afforded by
agricultural occupations.
For a while,circumstances were such that
these men could have their desires grati
fied. The war gave an artificial stimulus
to all kinds of trade. Greenbacks were
plentiful. Capital, being abundant, was
freely invested in all kinds of enterprises.
Speculation became the order of the
day, aud business was literally booming.
It was a comparatively easy thing, there
fore, for men to get employment
at very good wages, so they remained
in town, looked back, with contempt,
upon their old plodding country life, and,
no doubt, wondered why they had ever
been so foolish as to have consented to
shut themselves out from “Ihe world”
for such a long period of their existence.
But, being artificial, this state of affairs
could not last. It was all a bubble, which
only required a puncture to be dissi
pated into nothingness. Tho puncture
came with the panic of ’73, and immedi
ately, as news of crash after crash of
business house after business house was
received, capital became frightened, en-
terprise was abandoned, some good per
manent investment, or the strong vaults
of some bank,in which to lock up money
for safe keeping, were looked for, specu
lations ceased, business became dull, and,
consequently, employment was hard to
find. Then it was that, as the tide of
seeming prosperity receded, these men
who had flocked and overcrowded the
Northern cities found themselves landed
high and dry upon the shores of idleness,
and there they remain to this day.
The extent of this evil has of late been
very strikingly illustrated, and there is
only one remedy for it to be found.
Country life must be again adopted. Men
must become producers instead of con
sumers. They cannot longer live in idle
ness in the big cities, but must make up
their minds to engage in the healthful,
remunerative work which the farm abun
dantly offers.
There are hundreds of farms, anl thou
sands of fertile acres in- Georgia, Florida,
and the South generally, only waiting to be
settled up and cultivated to furnish food,
comfort, home, health and indepen
dence to the industrious man, from what
ever quarter he may come. Let him be
sensible and delay no longer. As an ex
change, speaking of the advantages whioh
such farms offer, very truthfully remarks:
“It does not require much capital, but
it requires resolution and willingness to
work, and to work diligently, a willing
ness to live soberly and honestly, and
men and women who are now living in
cities in squalid poverty, dependent on
public chanty, with families growing up
in pauperism, might find happy and
plentiful homes beyond the cities if they
could frse themselves of the fascination
of city life.”
A Washington special announces that
the attention of Secretary Sherman has
been called lo the following, inserted in
the London papers by the Syndicate in
their advertisement of United States new
four per oent. bonds, for the sale of
which they are the agents: “These
bonds (after reciting the title of the act
of July 14, 1870,) are redeemable at the
pleasure of the United States after the
first day of July, 1307, in coin of the
standard value of the United States on said
July 14, 1870 (gild coin), with interest in
such coin.” The Secretary said that, in
his opinion, the fact that the words “gold
coin” were placed in the advertisement in
parenthesis shows that they constitute
no part of the law and made the state
ment a fair one. He also declared that
as the bonds in question had been issued
in exchange for gold coin, they could not
be redeemed by anything but gold ecin
or its full equivalent. He was not ready
to admit that any intention exists on the
part of the Syndicate to convey the im
pression that the law providing for the
issue of the bonds, made them payable in
gold coin. The advertisement appeared
to him to mean that gold coin was the
standard coin for which the bonds were is
sued. Mr. Sherman added that there
can be no question all parties will unite
in requiring the payment of this coin in
a gold dollar of 25 8 10 grains, nine-
tenths fine.
The Ohio Republicans have endorsed
what they are pleased to term Mr. Hayes’
Southern pacificatory policy. Two years
ago, when these same Republicans nomi
nated the same Mr. Hayes for Governor,
they endorsed President Grant’s Southern
shot-gun policy. Another instance of the
changes Brought by the whirligig of time.
A tailor of London named Benjamin,
who is, as the name implies, a Jew, has
taken a terrible revenge for Judge Hil
ton’s celebrated Grand Union Hotel order
ostracising his (Benjamin’s) race. He has
put up a placard before his door notify
ing all Americans that they need not
apply to purchase garments at his shop,
for he wont sell to them. This is clearly
a case for diplomatic interference. Mr.
Pierrepont will have to stop dining for a
while and look after this British subject
of Hebrew descent who thus openly dares
to insult his (Pierreponl’s) countrymen
abroad.
The New York World is at its old tricks
of speaking the truth. Here is what it
says: “Our Southern exchanges echo all
that has been said in these columns as to
the attitude of the Southern people aud
their leaders in the presence of the de
plorable events of the past week. The
striking contrast between the peace and
order which have prevailed south of the
Potomac, and the uproar, peril and dis
tress which have run riot through the
North and West, cannot fail to fix public
attention and to turn the minds of men
to the great field which the South now
offers to enterprise and to emigration.
We have lived loDg enough on lines of
latitude. It is time we awoke to the fact
that commerce never greatly thrives nor
long, except on lines of longitude. The
vicious systems of trade aud finanoe
which have overgrown us since the out
break of the civil war must be shattered
and cleared away before this country can
reiliy enter upon a new career of real
prosperity.”
The Herald wants Brigham Young to
take his Mormons and go to Mexioo with
them, inasmuch as in the United States
he is in constant fear of being indicted
and tried for murder. It says:
“He has been for two or three years
meditating a new hegira. He took his
people to Utah to get out of reach of the
United States, and now finds himself
troubled by Gentiles. If he is wise he
ought to be meditating, and not only
meditating, but preparing for another
move into Mexico. Some years ago he
had his eyes fixed on the Sandwich
Islands; but that plan failed because the
Island government did not want a Mor
mon population. He tent a colony
thither, but they nave not increased
either in wealth or numbers. Mexico
offers a good opportunity to the Mor
mons. Why not go there in a body ?”
Speaking of the Virginia State debt,
and the report that the Old Dominion
had some intention of repudiating, Gen.
Taliaferro, a prominent candidate for
Governor, lately said:
“Nothing would be more deplorable or
exert a more unfortunate influence on
the character of a people than an educa
tion into the belief that obligations,
private or public, are to be lightly con
sidered aud repudiated. Self respect and
States pride have made the Virginia
character what it is, and we must main
tain it.”
New York oalebrated the hundredth
anniversary of its existence as a State on
the 30th ult., at Kingston. Fully thirty
thousand people were present, and ad
dresses appropriate to the occasion were
delivered by soveral prominent citizens.
Here is what trhe Baltimore Gazette
thinks of Hayes’ proposed Southern tour:
“Now that the crisis is over, and Mr.
Hayes is felicitating himself upon having
saved the country, we hear that he is
about to undertake his long projected
Southern trip. He should engage Mr. F.
T. Barnum to bill the towns through
which he will pass, and work up the peo
ple to a proper pitch of interest. An
advertisement in the daily papers would
be the correct thing, and would doubtless
prove a paying investment. Other me
nageries have tried it with great success.”
Robert Ould, Jr., son of Judge Robert
Ould, cf Richmond, and formerly Con
federate commissioner of exchange of
prisoners, shot his cousin, one William
Saunders, at Curdsville, Buckingham
county, Virginia, last week. No cause is
assigned for the act. Y'oung Ould was
arrested to await the result of Saunders
wound, which is feared to be mortal.
The French President, Marshal Mac-
Mahon, says that he considers Grant the

change suggests that when he made that
remark he forgot Von Moltko.
FOR HIS FAMILY’S SAKE.
Prusalnn Colonel Became
faiiltrr and a Fugitive.
Ebcrhard Wiegand, the Darmstadt
Councillor of War, who was arrested in
Milwaukee on a charge of embezzling
funds intrusted to him as au officer of the
Duchy of Hesse, was taken be loro Com
missioner Osborn the other day for exam
ination. Mr. Burke, of the firm of Salo
mon & Burke, appeared for the German
Government, and ex Judge Dittenhoefer
for the accused. The necessary pipers
not having arrived from Germany, the
examination was adjourned until the 14th
of August.
Wiegand’s official position in Hesse
was similar to that of Assistant Secre
tary of War in this country, and in addi
tion ho was Acting Colonel in the Prus
sian army, having attained this rank by
service aDd promotion. About ten years
ago, it is said, Wiegand desired to send
his three sons to this country and to as
sist them after their arrival here, and not
having sufficient private fortune, he
began defaulting until he was indebted
to his government in twenty thousand
florins—about eight thousand dollars.
None cf his family, however, knew any
thing of these irregularities. Under the
system of government in Hesse the
official accounts are examined every
ten years; and this period expiring
in Wiegand’s case on the 1st of
last Jane, he knew that the embezzle
meat would be discovered, and he resolv
ed upon suicide. Ho made the attempt
at his residence in Darmstadt 1-y cutting
his throat with a razor, but before he
completed the act his daughter, who for
some reason suspected his intentions,
burst open the door of his apartment and
caught his hand. So soon as Wiegand
had recovered from the immediate bad
effects of the wound he fled to this
country.
He is said to be a man of unusual in
telligence, and to hold a high position in
Germany by virtue of his rank. Should
he be given up under the extradition
treaty with Germany he will have little
chance of escaping the penalty of the
alleged offense, which ig imprisonment
for about ten years.
A Change in Managing the Astor
Estate.
New York Correspondence Boston Journal ]
The Astors have done business on
given line for nearly a century. They held
the “Aaron Burr leases,” which have con
tro’led the larger part of the real estate
of New York below Fourteenth street.
There has been no change in the stylo of
doiDg business until recently. John
Jacob Astor bequeathed his leases, and
the immense business growing out of
them, to his son, William B. The boys,
John Jacob and William B., Jr., when
old enough, came into the house and
were broken in by the father. No bank
clerk or salesman in New York was as
regular in his business as was old man
William. He turned down into Prince
street from Broadway at a given heu:
every morning. Promptly at four in the
afternoon he left his office for his home
in Lafayette place. He seldom rode, but
footed it up Broadway to his dinner. Be
tween the hours of nine and four Mr,
Astor devoted himself exclusively to
business. His little office on Broadway,
of brick, one story, with its iron gratings
in front, resembled a small county jail
Here, accessible to every one, high and
low, rich and poor, Astor, in his dull, stu
pid, phlegmatic way, turned c-ff daily an
immense amount of business.
The Astor boys, under the tuition of
their father, developed into first-clas:
business men. Like their father, they
worked early and late. Thorough busi
ness young men, they were always at
their post. They had no fast traits.
They were never seen on the road behind
a pair of fast trotters, had no taste for
costly lunches, aud few men dined at
their expense. They knew the value of
money, and got a dollar's worth of goods
for every dollar they paid out. They
never rode when they could walk. While
curbstone brokers made ten dollars a day
and took a cab to and from Wall street,
tho Astor boys could be seen arm in arm
walking from their office in Prince street
to their noonday business “on ’Change. "
They watched their own mortgages,
leases, assessments and taxes, and knew
from personal visits to the office of the
Register how their matters stood.
So business was conducted to the death
of William B. Astor. Since the business
was started by John Jacob to the death of
William B., the Astors did one busines
on one line and did it altogether. The
will of the latter made a dissolution in
evitable. The property was broken up
and divided among the heirs. John
Jacob and William B. now have separate
offices. Their offices still remain side by
side, but their business is as separate as
if the brothers never had been together.
Whether this is the beginning of the end
time alone can determine.
A Haed Times Note.—A curious illus
tration of the effect the hard times has
had on Wilmington, says the Commercial
of that place, “is found in the business
done in the money order department of
our post office. In good times, when
the shops here were generally busy, the
post office received more money to be
sent away than came to it, a great many
men from other places having work here
and sending a portion of their earnings
home to their families. Now the balance
is the other way, the office receiving
about §100,000 annually to send away
aud paying out about §118,000. Some
Wilmington mechanics have obtained
work elsewhere, and are sending home
money to their families here, while money
is actually reaching here from England
and Scotland to maintain natives of those
countries here, or to enable them to re
turn to the old country. This is cer
tainly a condition of affairs we are not
likely to be proud of nor to take comfort
in.”
The Business Outlook in New Yoke.
—A New York letter says the dry goods
merchants of that city are speaking very
hopefully of the prospects for a good fall
trade. The riots, they ray, could not
have happened at a better time for them
than thus “between seasons.” There
were but few goods to be forwarded to
the iuterior, and the interruption of
transportation, therefore, was not seri ■
ously felt. There are many Southern
and Western buyers in town who will
take hold in a day or two. The certainty
of abundant crops warrants the belief
that the West is going to be a more liberal
purchaser than any season since the
panic. A noteworthy feature of the
market meanwhile is the announcement
that on Thursday next 1,800 cases of
Richmond prints are to be sold by a lead
ing auction house. Other branches of
business are also hopeful, if not buoyant.
Another Massachusetts desperado and
bandit has turned up. A Boston dispatch
says: “Herbert Blanchard, twenty-five
years old, has been clandestinely paying
his addresses to the daughter of Mr. E.
Stark, a resident of Savoy, Mass., and
was warned to discontinue his visits. On
Wednesday last he was fired at by some
unknown person, and yesterday he went
to church at Savoy, where, after an alter
cation with the elder Stark, he shot him
and also a brother of Stark. The first
was shot through the body, just below
the left lung, and the other in the groin.
Both were still Alive last evening, but
neither were expected to live. Blanchard
attempted to shoot a lady who was stand
ing near, but failed, after which he es
caped to South Readsboro’, Vt., where he
was captured.”

[Special Telegram to the Morning News.]
Atlanta, August 2.—Over tbreo hours
were spent to-day iu vain attempts to re-
consiier yesterday’s work. Only oue change
was made. Paragraph two of section seven
was again amended to allow appeals from
Justices’ Courts to the Superior Court.
A spicy and prolonged debate took place
on tbe subject of Ordinaries to bold office
for four years. Tho attempt to reduce
failed.
Tbe election of Judges or their appoint
ment came up for action, and created tbe

Testh, July 2.—A deputation from tbe
recent anti-Russian popular meeting to-day
interviewed Minister Titza aud read resolu
tions condemning tbe alleged Russian atro
cities. Minister Tisza replied, saying it was
impossible to find a lasting remedy for tbe
atrocities until peace was restored. Tbe
uncalled for intervention of a single power
might extend tbe war, bnt bo hoped
the time not far distant when Europe
might have an opportunity to pat
lasting stop to atrocities daring war.
Tbe government, while mindful of its duty
to guard Austro-Hungarian interests, felt
it incumbent to spare the property and

Major Hearsey, editor of tho New
Orleans Democrat, who is on a briof
visit to this city, called on Secretaries
Key aud Schurz, and subsequently,
with Secretary Key, visited the President.
M8jor Hearsey expresses himself much
gratified with the courtoous reception ex
tended him, and with the very kindly senti
ments expressed by tbe President toward
the South. He thinks indeed that it is tbe
earnest purpose of the President to be tho
executive of the South as well as of the other
sections of tbe Union, and its true friend.
In the course of conversation Mr. Hayes
expressed his gratification at the peaceful
attitude of the South during tbe late riots,
and remarked pleasantly that tbe most
antagonistic sections of tbe country,
New England and tbe South, were during
tbe excitement and conflict tbe most tran
quil. The President also expressed the
hope that he would be able to visit New Or
leans during the holiday vacations of Con
gress, and was assured by the editor of tho
Democrat that he would be cordially
welcomed by the people not only of New
Orleans, but of the whole State. Major
Hearsey referred to the recent postal con
vention at Old Point Comfjrt and tbe
kir.dly expressions of tbe President, and
also of tbo Postmaster General in reference
thereto,impress him with the conviction that
every reasonable effort will be made by the
administration to furnish tbe Southern
States with adequate postal service. To a
party of gentlemen Major Hearsay stated
that cine-tenths of tbe white people of
Louisiana endorsed tbe prosecution of tbe
returning board, and would insist upon con
ducting the prosecution vigorously to a con
clusion. At the same time, be said that
there was literally no opposition to Mr.
Hayes iu Louisiana, and that no consid
erable body of tbe people could be or
ganized to support or approve any civil or
revolutionary process to disturb him or
question his titie to tbe Presidency.

Gould was rescued by some friends, and was
found uninjured, with the exception of a
few slight bruises. He was able to walk to
his office. The trouble is said to have origi
nated from Gould having betrayed a com

ble excitement on the Stock Exchange for a

A Ghastly Picket Line—An Incident
of the Sight After the Battle of
Fredericksburg.
[Judge Howe in Philadelphia Weekly Times.]
When, on the return to Marye’s
Heights, the command first filed in from
tfie road, there appeared to be a thin line
of soldiers sleeping on the ground to be
occupied. They seemed to make a row
or rank. It was as if a line of skirmish
ers had halted and lain dowr: they were
perfectly motionless: their sleep was pro
found. Not one of them awoke and got
up. They were not relieved, eiiher, when
the others came. They seemed to have
no commander—-at least none awake.
Had the fatigues of the day completely
overpowered all of them, officers and pri
vates alike ? They were nearest the ene
my, within call of him. They were the
advance line of the Union army. Was it
thus that they kept their watch, on which
the safety of the whole army depended,
pent-up between the ridge and the rivir?
The enemy might come within ten steps
of them without being seen. The fog
was a veil. No one knew what lay, or
moved, or crept a little distance off.
The regiments were allowed to lie
down. In doing so, the men made a
denser rank with those there before them.
Still those others did not waken. If you
looked closely at the face of any one of
them, in the mist and dimness, it was
pallid, the eyes closed, the mouth open,
the hair was disheveled, besides, the atti
tude was often painful. There were
blood marks, also. These men were ail
dead. Nevertheless, the new comers lay
down among them and rested. The pall
of night concealed the foe now. The
sombre uncertainty of fate enveloped the
morrow. One was saved from the peril
of the charge, but he found himself again
on Marye’s Hill, near the enemy, face to
face with the dead, sharing their couch,
almost in their embrace, in the mist
and the December night. Why not ac
cept them as bed-fellows? The bullet
that laid low this one, if it had started
diverging by ever so small an angle,
would have found the heart’s blood of
that other who gazed upon them. It
was chance or Providence, which to-mor
row might be less kind. So they lay
down with the dead, all in line, and were
lulled asleep by the monotony of the
.cries of the wounded scattered every
where.
Ihe Land of Repose and Peace.
Mr. William Winter is thoroughly en
amored of Eugland. He writes : “It is
not strange that Englishmen should be—
what certainly they are—passionate lovers
cf their country ; for their country is,
almost beyond a parallel, peaceful, gentle
and beautiful. Even in this vast city,
where practical life asserts itself with
such tremendous force, the stranger is
impressed, from every direction, with a
sentiment of repose aud peace. This
sentiment seems to proceed in part from
the antiquity of the social system here
established, and in part from the affec
tionate nature of the English people.
Here are finished towns, rural regions
thoroughly cultivated and exquisitely
adorned, ancient architecture crumbling
in slow decay, and a soil so rich and pure
that even in its idlest mood it lights itself
up with flowers, just as the face of
sleeping child lights itself up with
smiles. Here also are soft and
kindly manners, settled principles, good
laws invariably executed, wise customs
rooted in the universal attributes of hu
man nature; and, above all, here is the
practice of trying to live in a happy con
dition, instead of trying to make a noise
about it. Here, accordingly, life is sooth
ed and hallowed with the comfortable,
genial, loving spirit of home. It would
doubtless be easily possible to come in
contact here with some absurd forms and
pernicious abuses, to observe absurd in
dividuals, and to trace out veins of sordid
selfishness and of evil and sorrow. But
the things that first and most deeply im
press the fresh observer of England and
English society, are their potential, mani
fold and abundant sources of beauty, re
finement and peace. There are, of course,
grumblers. Mention has been made of a
person who, even in Heaven, would com
plain that his cloud was damp and that
his halo did not fit. We cannot have
perfection; but the man who could not
be happy in England—in so far, at least,
as happiness depends upon external ob
jects and influences—could not'reason
ably expect to be happy anywhere.”

NOTICE.
Swapping Hee Husband fob a Fabm.—
The second wife of Gyros C. Hoskins
died a year or two since, and since that
time Cyrus has been in search of his
b ffinity, and a few months ago thought
he had found it in Mrs. Hollis-Brooks,
deriving her nanre from two previous
husbands. They were married, and she
gained such control over him that she has
led him about by the ear at Will. Tiring
of her spouse, and having an eye to the
main chance, HolJis. Brooks sought out
Mrs. Lizzie Spaulding, who lives in this
village, and owns a farm worth three or
four hundred dollars. She made a pro
position to Mrs. Spaulding to release all
her right, title and interest in Cyras, the
consideration to be that Mrs. Spaulding
was to deed to her the farm. Lizzie
wanted to get married, and she consented.
Uoilis-Brooks at once proceeded to make
the future husband and wife acquainted,
journeying to Montague with them, where
she was made happy by beholding them
united in the holy bonds of matrimony,
lieturning to Lowville, the newly wedded
domiciled themselves in Cyras’ home,
only to be disturbed by a serenade from
twenty or twenty-five boys, armed with
tin pans, horns, and other like musical
instruments. However, after repeated
demands from his callers to come down
and “buy something,” Cyrus, making the
classical expression, “I ain’t no hog!”
was escorted to a saloon.—Louisville

William Scott, a well known character
of New York, was found dead in his room
last week. It was a clear case of starva
tion. He was never known to beg, but
lived on anything he could get. His
food for some time before his death
was dog meat. He would lure dogs to
his room, and kill and cook them there
for food. Even this resource failed him
at last, so he starved to death in the heart
of the big city.
Certain English Ritualists having sold
