SITURDAY, AUGUST 4, 1877.
TAPPING THtt WIRES.
The Russian force engaged in the battle
at Plevna consisted of thirty-two thousand
infautry, one hundred and sixty field guns
and three brigades of cavalry.
Tne London News thinks that the defeat
at Plevna makes the Russian hold in Bulga
ria extremely precarious; that the Turks
must be beaten at Plevna and that speedily
if the Russian army is not to retire inglo-
riously into the principalities.
The troops engaged at Plevna have re
tired behind Osma river, where they will
be reinforced by the Sixteenth division of
the Fourth corps, which is crossing the
Danube at Simnitza.
All the scattered Russian troops now in
the principalities north of the Danube have
been summoned into Bulgaria.
The Turks are not advancing from their
position at Plevna, but are passing strong
forces from that place northward towards
Lovca.
It is considered in Berlin that the result
of the battle of Plevna ends all hope of
terminating the war this year, and lessens
the chances of intervention by Austria and
England.
There are strong signs ol the mobilization
of the Servian army.
The occupation of Eski Saghra Jay the
Turks has been confirmed, and it is stated
that the Russians lost five guns during the
fight at that place.
Orders have been issued by the Russian
War Department directing army corps not
yet mobilized to furnish a division each to
the fighting army, to be at once dispatched
to the Danube.
The report that the Czar has called the
Landwehr to the colors is denied by Russian
journals, as there is a law of the realm which
provides that the Landwehr shall not be
called on' until the entire army is mobilized.
All that ha* been done is the preparation for
the mobilization of that reserve whenever
called out.
A special dispa‘ch to the London Tele-
graph purports to give an account of an
other defeat of the Russians at Plevna on
Wednesday last.

so acting, yet, being in danger of their fives

own protection to defend themselves J in

the killing rests entirely with the rioters
who attacked them.

From a detailed statement prepared by
the National Bureau of Statistics it ap
pears that during the mouth of June last
there were exported 2,832,116 yards of
colored and 7,855,302 yards of uncolored
cotton goods, whioh, with other manu
factures of cotton, amount in value to
$939,831. Iu the fiscal year just closed
the exports of cotton goods were as fol
lows : Of colored goods, 29,111,434
yards, valued at $2,446,145; of uncolored
goods, 76,720,260 yards, valued at §6,-
424,154. The valuej v of all other manu
factures of cotton goods reported was
$1,310,685, the aggregate value of the
cotton goods exported being $10,180,984.
During the preceding year (1876) the
value of cotton goods exported was less
than that above given. During the
month of June, 1876, the amount of cot
ton goods exported was $876,175. Dur
ing the entire year 1876 there were ex
ported of colored goods, 16,488,214 yards,
amounting in value to $1,445,462; of un
colored goods, 59,319,267 yards, amount
ing in value to $5,314,738. The value of
all other cotton manufactures exported
during that year was $952,778, the ag
gregate value of the exports of cotton
goods during that year having been *7,-
722,978. _
Additional details of the late great bat
tle between the Turks and Bussians, near
Plevna, confirm fuliy the previous dis
patches announcing a Turkish victory.
Tholtussians met with a Waterloo defeat,
and the story as told iu our telegraphic
c fiumus is fullof interest. The Turkish
Ilashi-Bazauk played havoc with
the Russian Cossack, and, it seems,
spared neither wounded nor dying
in the fierce determination to
make the viotory complete. The
ltussian corps which crossed the Danube
so lately in such splendid condition, and
filled with confidence, is now reported
cut up and wholly demoralized. This
defeat of the Czar’s forces must effectu
ally check his advance on Adrianople for
an indefinite time, and very conclusively
demonstrates the fact that Constantino
ple will not be taken, nor Kussian suc
cess established without a tremendous
expense of life and treasure, even if it is
ever finally accomplished.
General Custer’s remains have arrived

“The Cotton Trade of Savannah.”
The Quitman Reporter again comes up
to the scratch on the above subject. It
comes voiy feebly, it is true, but still it
comes, ard makes another effort to show
that New York is a better cotton market
than Savannah.
Iu this last effort, the Reporter mainly
contents itself with reiterating its old
statements, to the effect that the Savan
nah classifications were not equal to those
of New Y'ork; that Savannah does not
quote fair and middling fair grades of
cottOD, and that shippers can borrow
money on their cotton at lower rates of
interest in New Y'ork than they can in
this city.
Having already, successfully and in an
unanswerable manner, replied, on two
occasions, to these charges, and having
shown that the Savannah classifications
were made up from types furnished by
the New Y'ork Cotton Exchange; that
Savannah has always quoted fair and
middling fair grades whenever they were
iu market; that the official quotations of
sides show that the prices of the same
grades in the two cities differ only, on an
average, 4 a cent—barely enough
cover freight charges and the loss of
weight in shipment—having conclusively
shown all these facte, as well as that in
the matter of shipment, Savannah
much more liberal than New York, we
hardly think it necessary to go over the
same old ground again. We simply there
fore recommend to the Reporter a careful
reperusal of our article in the News
the 21st ultimo.
Ou the matter of interest, however, it
may be well to say further that
since it is established beyond ail
controversy that interest is always
r gulated by the supply and demand
for money, and the risks to be run
in loaning it, money can be borrowed on
cotton at just as low rates in Savannah as
elsewhere, and it can be borrowed at
much greater advantage here than
New Y'ork. If a planter or shipper will
send his entire crop to New York, and
put it unreservedly in the control of
factor, no doubt that factor will advance
money on it at as low a rate of in
terest as he can with safety, after caleu
lating the probable fluctuations of the
article, and its full value as a security,
la Savannah not only the same thing will
be done, but—what will not be done in
New Y'ork—money can be, and is fre
qaently, borrowed on the crop before it
is gathered, while cotton paper here can
ba much more readily discounted than in
New Y'ork. So much then for all the
Reporter's statements.
But having grown somewhat sick of
reiterating the same old stale and dis
pioved charges, the Reporter, this time,
tries its hand at a little catechising. It
propounds three questions, and, in brief,
wants to know : First. If Savannah sold
two hundred thousand bales of cotton
last season ? Second. If there are as many
cotton commission merchants in Savan
nah now as there were five years ago
And third. If Savannah is holding and
increasing her business, or not ?
To the first question, we reply: Yes,
and more. Two hundred and fifty thou
sand bales were sold, and more would
have been but for the appearance of the
epidemic.
To the second question, we reply: No,
there are not as many commission mer
chants in Savannah as there were five
years ago. Wa have lost several. It is not
difficult to account for the loss either. The
panic of 1873 affected business of all kinds
throughout the country. The artificial
prosperity which, previous to that panic,
made all business brisk, made Savannah
flourish also, and induced many cotton
buyers and factors from Europe and other
points to come among us, and add to the
general bustle of trade which prevailed
here as everywhere else. Among these
were many men of the mushroom order,
who, attracted by the ease with which
money was made, came here as mere ad
venturers of fortune to try their luck
Others there were who were substantial
enough, but who came only desirous of
sharing in the harvest which was then
being so generally reaped. All of the
first, and many of the second of the
above classes, when the reaction came
with its attendant shrinkages in values,
a :d universal depression in business, left
the city. But their leaving was no evi
dence that we were on the down grade,
On the contrary, the effect was to concen
Irate business in the hands of our well
established, solid and permanent business
houses, which successfully weathered the
storm, and are still with us, doing well.
We vonture to assert that neither during
that trying time did Savannah suffer any-
thing like as much, in proportion to her
population, as did New Y’ork, nor has she
since.
To the third question we reply that,
considering the fact just mentioned,
Savannah is not only holding her full
share of trade, but the indications all
point to the further fact that she will,
during the coming business season, make
up much of the losses that she suffered
through the prevalence of the yellow
fever epidemic of last year.
Now, having replied both to the Repor
ter's charges and its questions, we have only
a word more to say before finally closing
this controversy. The Reporter claims
to be the friend of Savannah. It wants
it says, to see the city “arouse from her
lethargy and put forth her energies with
a full determination to do her portion of
the business, and let that portion be the
lion’s share.” These are, indeed, very
friendly utterances, and no doubt they
express exactly what we business men
intend to do. We do not think
however, that the careful picking out
of imaginary weak points against
the city, and a constant reitera
tion of the same in the columns
of a public journal, week after week,
is consistent with the above sentiment,
nor exactly the thing which a friend to
Savannah should do. We assure the Re
porter that we are not unduly alarmed
about the future of our trade. So long
as Savannah has her railroads to bring in
cotton, so long as she enjoys the facilities
for shipping it which are afforded her
by her fine harbor, and her easy water
communication with the world, and so
long as she has her corps of able, experi
enced, liberal and industrious merchants
to conscientiously look after the interests
of the planter, she will do well “as sure
as faith.” She may improve her trade,
as she doubtless will; but so long as she
possesses all the advantages we enumerate
above, just so long will the gloomy prog
nostications of the ReporUr over our fu
ture prospects fail of verification.
It seems likely that some of the strikers
along the line of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad in West Virginia will find them
selves in the penitentiary. A statute of
that Slate makes it a felony for any one
to stop or obstruct the work of any loco -
motive engine in the service of any rail
road corporation m the State, and the
penalty for so doing is confinement in
the penitentiary not more than ten years
or a fine of not more than a thousand
dollars, or both. Besides this, if through
such obstruction death shall be caused,
the person creating the obstruction shail
be deemed guilty of murder.
The New Orleans Picayune thinks that
“if some of the strikers would strike the
earth with hoes, they might gain bread.”
A Southern Speaker.
It is impossible to say how mnch confi
dence can be placed in the many reports
which have already been, and will con-
j tinue to be, made regarding tho different
j plans and schemes entered into by those
interested in the election of Speaker of
the next House of Representatives. The
latest of Euch reports is a speoial from
Washington to the Baltimore Gazette, to
the effect that the South is beginning to
urge her claims to the honor with vigor.
It is stated in the dispatch that—
“It has leaked out that the Democrats
of the South took advantage of the recent
Postal Convention at Old Point Comfort
to send up as delegates men who were
prominent in Southern politics for the
purpose of quietly talking over the plan
of securing the Speakership for the
South. A great number of very promi
nent men were thus brought together,
and when the routine postal business was
concluded they discussed the Speaker-
ship and the general interests of the
party. With very few exceptions all the
Southern States were represented. So
far as can be learned of the secret
caucus it appears that the delegates
representing Southern interests de
termined if possible to throw a South
ern man into tho Speaker's chair. The
two they now have in mind are John
Goode, of Virginia, and A. M. Scales, of
North Carolina. It is claimed that these
gentlemen between them have many
votes pledged in Virginia, North Caro
lina, Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi,
quite a number of which would have
gone to some Northern candidate if the
scheme to elect a Southern man had not
developed so much strength. It is hinted
also that either one would withdraw in
favor of the other to secure this result.
The whole plan was fully discussed at this
Point Comfort meeting, and measures
taken to work up a general interest in it
throughout the South, so that when the
representatives meet in October the
combinations will be reasonably strong.”
Whether there is anything in the above,
or whether the whole story is simply the
offspring of the brain of soma enterprising
correspondent, gifted with a very vivid
imagination, we know not. Certainly,
as far as Savannah is concerned, although
we are very well acquainted personally
with ail our delegates to the Pos
tal Convention, we never heard such an
idsa even hinted at. Be that as it may,
however, the idea is a good one. The
South is more largely represented in the
dominant party in the Lower House
than is any other section, and, besides
this, tho recent exhibition of law
and order within her limits, in striking
contrast to the turbulence and insurrec
tion of the North, proves that she is
eminently qualified to direct the legisla
tion of this country. We hope therefore
that we may have a Southern Speaker,
provided always,"nevertheless, that the
election of such can be effected without
injury to the Democratic party. Nothin
should be done which will be likely to
impair the strength of that party, certainly
until we have a Democratic President
in the While House. We confess,
though, that we cannot see how the
choice of a Southern Speaker can be pro
duetive of harm. From present indica-
tions it would have rather the contrary
effect.

A letter received in Washington from

WHY THE SOUTH IS AT PEACE.
Tjo Busy in Oevrloping Itx Resources to
Permit It a Alen to Strike.
[Nashville American.]
We are glad to see the South kept al
most entirely free from this conflict
which is destroying business in the North.
Deploring such occurrences anywhere,
we may feel deeply gratified that we are
comparatively free from disorder, crime
and violence. Wo must suffer to some
extent, but there are many reasons why
the South is not in a condition to be se
riously affected. The hard school through
which we have passed has taught the
South economy and self reliance. That
is the first great lesson, and we resisted it
as long as possible. The Southern peo
ple are nearer out cf debt than ever be
fore in the history of this country. As
an agricultural people, the proportion of
those who produce the necessaries of life
is very large. We lack an element of
prosperity in lacking the laboring popula
tion of the North, but in lacking it at such
a time we lack an element of tem
porary weakness. In prosperous pe
riods they contribute to the w'ell
being of society by furnishing a
market. When times are hard and they
are out of employment they become con
sumers only. Then they are only a dram.
An agricultural community can always
stand panic, failure, depression, war, any
misfortune better than one of commercial
and industrial population. We are self-
sustaining, we can, if need be, almost
live within ourselves, and even prosper.
Therefore, while deploring tho trouble
which has fallen upon our neighbors and
brethren, we should also look to see if we
may not reasonably hope that we may be
spared any great suffering. Of course in
the guffi of restored fraternity we are
ready to walk with our brethren through
the fiery furnace and pass through the
valley of the shadow of death, if ne
cessary, if we can’t help it. But then we
would prefer to be spared additional suf
fering. We have had enough of it, and
if we can see our way clear to even profit
out of the misfortunes which we have had
nothing to do with, then we must, as a
duty to ourselves, go on building up our
li..es of trade and our own manufactories
and become self-sustaining, and even fur
nish our suffering brethren with supplies
at those remunerative prices which men
are constrained to exact.
Temporary stagnation, in some chan
nels of business, we will feel in the South,
but there is nothing in all this to alarm
the South. If the trouble is remedied it
will be by the restoration of a prosperity
in which we will share. If it goes on we
will acquire new self-reliance in adjusting
our own business to meet it and become
daily more self supporting.
Tte laboring men should see that they
do nothing to retard a prosperity which
must come in the South if we are all true
to each other. It is a prosperity which
they will share, and the strikes and riots
in the North cannot prevent it. If they
will rn^dly cut each others’ throats we are
sorry. We give them our sympathy, but
let us decline to engage in the business—
we have other work to do. Wo have a
great and glorious field here which will
bear a good harvest for all in a very short
time.
Dynamite has been used in Australia
for ploughing purposes. Holes from one
and a half to two metres deep are made
in the ground with a crowbar, dynamite
put in, the charges connected, and ex
ploded simultaneously by electricity. The
ground is well mellowed to the depth ot
the charges. This method is of course
employed only in very tough places, aud
is very expensive, but better and cheaper
in the end than the old way.
The first practical response to the pro-
posal for the establishment of a British
colonial museum in London, has come
from the legislative council of Ceylon,
which has voted as its contribution a sum
of fifteen thousand pounds, to be paid m
three annual installments. The council
of the Colonial Institution Is about to
issue another circular on the subject to
the colonial governments.
Loxdox, August 3.—The Neics, in Ha de
tailed narrative of the battle of Plevna,
gives the Russian forces as thirty-two thou
sand iDfantry, one hundred and six f y field
guns and three brigades of cavalry, and
says : “This defeat makes tho Russian hold
in Bulgaria extremely precarious, and must
compel the withdrawal of troops from some
other point, where they are nearly as badly
needed, to beat the Turks at Plevna. Beaten
they must be, and that speedily, if tho Rus
sian army is not forthwith to retire inglori-
ously into the principalities.”
The News' Bucharest correspondent, tele
graphing on Thursday, says : “ The troops
recently engaged at Plevna have retired be
hind Osma river. The Sixteenth division of
the Fourth corps is crossing at Simnitza and
will probably reinforce them. All the scat
tered Russian troops now in the principali
ties have been summoned into Bulgaria. I
understan 1 that the Turks are not advanc
ing eastward from their Plevna position, but
are passing strong forces from Plevna north
ward towards Looca.”
Berlin papers consider that this battle puts
an end to all hope of terminating the war
this year, and lessens the chance ol inter
vention by Austria or England.
The Times' Belgrade correspondent states
that there are strong signs of approaching
mobilization of the Servian army.
Several telegrams confirm tho Turkish
occupation of Eski Saghra.
The Telegraph's special from Karabuna
says the Russians lost five guns at Eski
Saghra.
A Berlin dispatch to the Pall Mall
Gazette says the Russian Minister cf
War has issued orders directing army
corps not yet mobilized to furnish
a division each to the fighting army, to be
at once dispatched to the Danube. The
Russian journals deny that the Czar has
sanctioned a decree calling tho Landwehr
to the colors, because there is a law provid
ing that the Landwehr is not to be called
out until the entire army is mobilized. Ali
hitherto done consists in preparation for the
mobilization of the Landwehr whenever
called out.
The Daily Telegraph has a special dis
patch pnrportiug to give an account of the
utter defeat of the Russians before Plevna
on Wednesday.
The Daily News' correspondent sends
from ParedeD, near Plevna, a graphic ac
count of Tuesday’s battle, tho substantial
facts of which are as telegraphed to the
United States yesterday. The following
closing scenes give a vivid idea of the ex
tent of tho Russians’ disaster. It will ho
noticed that the correspondent is with
Prince Schockoskey’s command, and does
not purport to give any account of the con
dition or losses of Gen. Krudener’s corps
“And now all hopes of success anywhere
were dead, cor did a chance offer to make
tho best cf defeat. Prince Schockos
key had not a man left to cover
his retreat. The Turks struck with
out stint. They had the upper hand for
once aud were determined to show
that they knew how to make the most of it,
They advanced iu swarms through the
dusk ou their original first position, and
captured the Russian canuona before tho
batteries could be withdrawn. Turkish
shells began once more to whistle over the
ridge above Radishova and fall into the vil
lage beyond, now crammed with wounded,
The streams of wounded wending their
painful way over the ridgo were incessant.
I ho badly wounded mostly lay where th
fell. Later in the darkness a baleful
sort of krakentraegor swarmed over the
battle field in the shape of Bashi Ba*
zouks, who spared not, lingering there
ou the rid^e till the moon time. When the
moon rose, the staff could hear from below
ou the still night air cries of pain and en
treaty for mercy, and the yells of blood
thirsty, fanatical triumph. It was, indeed, an
hour to wring the sternest heart. We stayed
there to learn, if it might bo, what troops
were coming out of the valley of the shadow
of death below. Were there indeed any at
all to come ? It did not seem to be
the case. The Turks had our range
before dark, and we could watch the
flash of flames over against us and
then listen to the scream of the shell as it
tore by us. The sound of rifle bullets was
incessant, and the escort and retreating
wounded were struck. A detachment at
length began to come straggling up, but it
will give an idea of the disorganization to
y that when a company was told off to
cover somewhat the wounded in Radishova
it had to be made up of men of several re
giments. About nine o’clock the staff quit
ted the ridge, leaving it littered with groan
ing men, and moving gently lest we should
tread on the prostrate wounded, we lost our
way as wo had lost our army. We could
find no rest for the soles of our feet ]
by reason of the alarms of Bashi Bazouks
swarming in among the scattered and retir-
Russians. At length, at one o’clock in
tho morning, having been in the saddle
since six o’clock on the previous morning,
we turned into a stubble field and, making
beds of the naped grain, correspondent and
Cossack alike rested under the stars. But
we were not even then allowed to rest. Be
fore four o’clock an alum came that the
Bashi Bazouks were upon us and we had to
arouse and tramp away, the only protection,
the chief of what in the
morniDg was a fine army was now a hand-
ul of wearied Cossacks. Gen. Krudener
sent word in the morning that ho had lost
severely and could make no headway, and
had resolved to fall back on the line of the
river Osina. There had been talk of his
troops being fresh and of the renewing of
the attack to-day with his co-operation, but
it is a plain statement of fact that we have
no troepa to attack with. The most moderate
estimate is that we have lost two
regiments, say five thousand men out
of our three brigades, a ghastly
number, boating Eylan or Freidland.
This takes no account of General
Krudener’s losses. We, too, retire on the
Osma river, about Bulgareni, and to the
boat of our weak strength cover the bridge
at Sistova. One cannot in this moment of
harried confusion realize all tho possible
results of the stroke so rashly courted.
Not a Russian soldier Btands between Tir-
nova and the victorious Turkish army in
Lovica and Plevna, and only a weak division
of the Eleventh corps stands between Tir-
nova and tho Shnmla army. I look On
Prince Schockoskey’s force as wrecked and
no longer for this campaign to bo counted
fighting integer. It is not ten days
since the Thirtieth division crossed the
Danubo in the pride of superb condition.
New what of it is left is demoralized and
shattered, bo that on this side of the Bal
kans there remains but the Ninth corps,
already roughly handled, once at Nicopolis
and once at Plevna, one division of the
Eleventh corps and the Rustchuk army.
Now if the Rustchuk army is marched to
the west against Plevna, then the Turkish
army of Rustchuk is let loose on the Russian
communication to Tirnova. One can’t
avoid the conclusion that the advance over
the Balkans is seriously compromised. The
Russian strait is so bad that the scattered
detachments have been called up from out
of Roumania and a Roumanian
division commanded by General Mann,
which crossed a day or two ago
also at Nicopolis, has been called up to
the line of the Osma river. An aid-de-camp
of the Grand Duke Nicholas was present
at the battle, and at once started for
Tirnova with tho evil tidings. We are just
quitting this bivouac aud falling back on
BuJgarcui with all speed, leaving the Bul
garian villages to the tender mercies of
the Turks. As I close I learn that on onr
left Gen. Skobeloff was very severely han
dled, having lost three hundred men out of
his single infantry battaliou.”

Atlanta, Ga., August 3.—More time was
wasted to-day than usual in buncombe
speeches and trivial discussions, yet some
important work has been accomplished.
The Judges of the Supreme aud Superior
Courts are to be elected by tho Legislature.
th9 former in the years of 1880, 1882 and
1884, and the latter one-half in 1878 and
the other half in 1880. The subject was fully
discussed by Gen. Toombs, Col. Warren,
Judge Buchanan, ex-Attorney General Ham
mond and Hon. J. R. Brown. The
Attorney General is now under discussion
on a motion to elect him by the people,
which plan seems to be the most popular.
The Committee on Printing have awarded
the contract for printing the journal and or
dinances of the convention to Messrs. James
P. Harrison & Co., of the Franklin Steam
Printing Houso of this city, they having the
best and most ample facilities for
doing the work, thereby complet
ing it in half the time fixed
by other parties, who bil somewhat lower
in price. The time was considered of more
importance than the small difference iu
price, hence the award to them.
The Committee on the State House Offi
cers report a reduction of two thousand
doHars in the pay of the Executive Depart
ment clerks and secretaries, aud that the
Secretary of State have twenty-eight hun
dred dollars and pay his own clerk. The
Comptroller is to have six thousand dollars
and furnish his own clerical force. The
Treasurer four thousaud dollars and do tho
same. None of these officers to have any
foes or perquisites. ThiB will save five
thousand dollars a year to the State, if
adopted, as recommended, next January.

[By Telegraph to the Morning News.]
Washington, August 3.—It is stated

Hal Gosling, of Tennessee, has been ten

The War Department has accounts of the

Marblages in the Other World.—
After an hour of interior observation, we
proceed to relate results.
Domestic enjoyments, based upon true
conjugal unions, and interwoven with
the fondest affections of children and
kindred, you behold in the upper couu -
try. Uncompanionated natures on earth,
lonely hearts loDging for unchangeable
kindred love, here find their own. Did
you not observe, during the one hour of
our investigation, that five weddings oc-
cuired in the neighborhood of the Zella-
bingeous? How loDg those two men
(angel youths now) waited for the comiDg
of their mates! How loyally patient
those three angel maidens (once wives
and mothers on earth) waited for their
darling husbands to come to them through
death’s triumphal arch! These ten per
sons were truly mated and happily mar
ried, four in St. Louis and six in London,
but they had each known sickness and
accident and poverty and many another
earthly trial. Strange fact! there are a
gnat number of conjugally true mar
riages in the human family before death;
but, whether true or temporary, justice
and goodness eventually prevail, and so
what should occur does occur, and the
glory and beauty thereof shine into
everybody’s eye.—From Andrew Jackson

The primary cause of all the present

was the Salmon P. Chase issue of seven
hundred millions of paper money.—Cin
cinnati Gazette.
Ah, indeed! And how was it when
Judge Chase, at the head of the Supreme
Court, decided that in time of peace this
paper money could not be a legal tender,
and President Grant thereupon appointed
two new Judges to reverse this decision
and keep the seven hundred millions
of paper money still agoing ? Wasn’t
that indecent performance of Grant an
other canpe of all the present distress?—

THE EAILROAD TROUBLE IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Fcranton, August 3.—Some four thousand
troops are along the roads and the trains
are all guarded. The feeling is very bitter
with a large class of the employes. The
wires have been cut at Plymouth. No re
sumption is possible for several days.
Wilkebbarre, August 3.—Rumors are
rife of trouble at Plymouth last night. The
railroad was blockaded by a crowd of men,
women and boys. The telegraph wires be
tween here and that place have been cui
The trains on the Valley Railroad have not
yet been started. A freight train at Fair-
view, sixteen miles from here, was detained
by strikers. Superintendent Mitchell has
called upon the Sheriff to go to Fairview
with a posse and disperse the striker?, but
the Sheriff has not yet acted. The military
are waiting for tho civil authorities to ex
haust their means.
Mauch Chunk, August 3.—No freight
trains moved on the Lehigh Valley Railroad
except on the main line from Penn Haven
to Easton and the branches. Considerable
coal was sent south ou the Central Railroad
of New Jersey, but no other trains were
started. It is thought both roads will be
opened to-morrow without serious difficulty.
The military under Gen. Ayers are quar
tered comfortably about town, and guards
are stationed in proper places. Quiet pre
vails here and in the coal regions in this
section.
Easton, August 3.—Everything is quiet
here and in Phillipsburg. The Lehigh
Valley are running their trains as far
as Mauch Chunk without any difficulty.
The Lehigh aud Susquehanna have not
started yet, but the men are willing to work
as soon as the company Is ready to start.
About three hundred regulars, under Gen.
Brannon, are still at Oden Welder’s, about a
mile from here, ou the Lehigh and Susque
hanna Railroad.
WiLKEeBARRE, Pa., August 3.—General
Heidekoper’s command camo into Wilkes-
barre this afternoon by the Valley Road
from Pittston. Four companies were sent
to Fairview and brought in the freight train
which had been stopped by strikers.
The mail fcrain South, which was
abandoned here on Wednesday, was
taken out to-day. The engines aud
twelve cars were filled with soldiers.
A striker who assisted in stopping a mail
train on Wednesday was arrested by the
police. The Lehigh and Susquehanna have
made no effort yet to start. Heidekoper’s
command is camped at the Lehigh Valley
round house, aud affairs at Plymouth,
where General Pearson has command, are
quietiDg down.
Hazelton, Pa., August 3.—Au attempt
was made last night to burn the Lehigh
Valley Railroad depot here. The fire was
extinguished by the police.
CORONER’S VERDICT ON THE BALTIMORE RIOT.
Baltimore, August 3.—The following is
an extract of the verdict of the Coroner’s
jury : “The Baid regiment was ou duty un
der orders of the authorities of the State of
Maryland, when attacked by a great num
ber of disorderly persons aud in danger of
being killed. The soldiers should have
acted as a body only under orders of the
commanding officers in cleariug the streets
of a hostile mob, and in so far are blamo-
able as soldiers for disobeying the orders
□ot to fire. Though, nevertheless, as no
orders to fire were given, the soldiers were
compelled for their own protection to de
fend themselves individually as well as they
could, still the jury are of opinion that the
soldiers, being demoralized, a great deal of
unnecessary firing was done on Baltimore
treet, especially west of Gay street. The
responsibility for the killing of these per
sons rests entirely with the rioters who at
tacked the soldiers.”
WASHINGTON WEATHER PROPHET.

LIVERPOOL WEEKLY COTTON MARKET.
Liverpool, August 3.—The circular of
the Liverpool Cotton Brokers Association in
its weekly review says cotton was dull
throughout tho week and the limited de
mand was very freely supplied. Quotations
for most descriptions are reduced. Ameri-
cin was in very limited demand. Prices are
:^3-16J. lower. In sea island business
was small and rates are unchanged. Futures
were dull and drooping with, at times, a
considerable desire to scil and only a limited
demand. Prices have declined fully 3 lGd.
TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Pittsburg, August 3.—An accident oc
curred at the Lucy Furnace Company’s
works this morning, which rosnlted in the
death of two men and the injury of five
others. Seven men were engaged in lining
a furnace, working on a scaffold supported
by ropes. Tbeee took fire from the furnace
and the scaffold fell, precipitating the men
into the furnace. Julius Harding and Mi
chael Chutte were taken out dead, and five
others were so badly burned that they are
not expected to recover.
The Home of James Buclianau
[From the Philadelphia Times.]
The show place of Lancaster is Wheat-
| land, the home for many years of James
Buchanan, who bought it from William
M. Meredith. It is a ten minutes’ drive
from the station, over a beautiful road.
Not having been there for twenty years, I
was somewhat startled to find the street
cars running half way out, and some
handsome houses near the road, with
building lots marked for sale. The gate
is gracefully guarded by the overhanging
willows that weep by the spring which
marks the entrance to Wheatland. The
broad lawn spreads smooth and green,
grand in its simplicity, fair in its utter
absence of pretension, while the old
house stretches out its wide wings sug
gestive of hospitality, good cheer and a
storied past. One misses many of the
huge trees of early days which once
almost hid the house, but the glories of
modern callas ar.d geraniums reconcile
one to the change; while garden seats
scattered here and there over the gently
rolling lawn woo one to rest. Passing
around the house the gorgeous green still
greets the town-tired eye, and one moves
up a grassj T walk through rows of bright
llowers to the beautiful wood that crowns
the hill upon the breast of which the
old house reposes. Aud here we have a
very pretty, peaceful, agricultural view
on one side, and on the other we find
pleasant hornet, chief among which
stands that of Dr. Nevins with his gifted
family, including the versatile Miss
Blanche, artist, writer, talker. Darkness
coming on, I again turn my steps toward
the substantial old house I have come to
3, and observe how the storms of these
many years have toned down the color of
the bricks,making them not unpicturesque
in their faded red, which harmonizes with
the dimmed green of the old-fashioned
window shutters. Inside, the mansion is
large, airy and elegant, furnished in a
solid style, comporting with the dignity
and history of the place. Mr. Bu
chanan’s library remains very much as
it was when I saw him there, and, in
deed, everything at Wheatland reminds
one of the remarkable man who was once
the presiding genius of those shades. It
is now owned by his niece, Mrs. Henry
Elliott Johnston, of Baltimore, whose sum
mer home it is. and whose beauty, dig
nity and graceful hospitality are too well
recognized to require mention at my
hands. I could not help pausing at the
threshold to ponder over the many no‘ed
men who had gone in and out of those
doors—some who had bled on Southern
battle fields, some who had languished in
Northern prisons, those whose voices yet
resound in the nation’s councils, and
others whose words have been hushed
and whose faces hid away in “the land of
forgetfulness.” Living or dying, very
many of them have been disappointed,
world-weary meD. Lancaster also fur-
nished the home and the grave of Thad
deus Stevens, who having, it seems, no
rural tastes, spent his life in the town,
and who, consistent in death, is buried in
cemetery where black and white to
