TAPP1XO the mikes. tets excitement exists at the government storks in W oolwich, England, than formerly, yet the government Is not abating its energy or industry. To supply the want of army officers, a large number of cadets entered at Sandhurst will also be passed oat and com- mi—zoned next month and in July. A business crisis exists in the Catalonia district of Spain, and in the commercial centres of the Mediterranean coast. Nine teen factories have been closed, and nine thousand workmen thrown out of employ ment. A verdict in the case of the city of Chicago vs. the bond of a defaulting ex-Treasurer. Daniel A. Gage, has been rendered for the city. It amounts to $507,703 besides $1,000, 000 penalty. The bondsmen are all promi nent citizens. Motion for a new trial will be made. Three reports have been made on the Southern Pacific Railroad. The majority re port of the committee favors the road. The minority opposes It, while a third signed bj lVm. R. Morrison, of Illinois, likewise op poses it on constitutional grounds. He claims that the government has no right to lend its aid or credit to any private corpo ration, alludes to the experience of past legislation in this respect, and calls atten tion to the fact that the House in a resolution adopted by it has already declared solemnly against the granting of any sub sidies iu any form. His report (a full synop sis of which is published elsewhere; is veiy interesting, and it is believed represents the sentiments of the balance of power on this question. The panic among the Boston savings banks continues. On Friday and Saturday each, one bank paid out $1*0,000 and another about $80,000. O’Donovan Rossa has been engaged to lec ture in Toronto on “Irish Liberty and Eng lish Life.*’ He was notified that if he at tempts it he will be mobbed, but he still de clares that he will lecture, and will claim American protection. Pope Leo XIII. has defined his policy which is interpreted to mean a tacit accept- un< e of the loss of temporal power. The McGarrahan claim case, now before the Senate Committee on Public Lands, is said to be “the scandal of the hour.” Nearly every public man identified either with Con gress or the lobby during the past twelve years is Implicated In some fraud in connec tion with it. The proprietors of the Philadelphia Pres* have discharged all theft Union printers and placed non-Union workmen in their places. About thirty or forty were discharged, but were notified that If they would leave the Union they would be£re-employed. According to the St. Petersburg corres- pondenttof the London Tones, grave appre hensions are there felt regarding the politi cal complications. It is even said that the Congress may not meet at all, and, if it does, will not be likely to succeed in conse quence of English and Austrian jealousy of Russia. Russia has noticed the powers that she will send them the treaty Immediately after it* ratification. This seems to be intended to reassure England that no secret under standing exists between Russia and Turkey. In the meantime the Russians have ad vanced towards Constantinople, occupied several small villages arouud that city, be sides having taken possession of a point on the edge of the most northerly plateau running down towards the Bospho rus. She has thus established herself on the Bosphorus, and this is believed to be the result if not of a secret treaty, at least of a tacit understanding between the late bel ligerents. Says the Tim**, commenting on there movements: “The terms of peace may prove an agreeable surprise, but Russia is not assisting Europe to place a favorable construction upon them.” Steam motive power has been tried on a htreet railway on Pennsylvania avenue, Washington. The engine climbed the heavi est grades on the road, and did not frighten horses on the avenue. A bold bank robbery was committed on the National Bank at Lechraore, Massachiv aetts, on Saturday. A man and a woman drove up to the bank after business hours, and engaged the President in conversation on the sidewalk. When he returned, be found that three trunks containing $1,000 in money and $47,000 in government bonds had been abstracted. Havana is pronounced perfectly healthy With the exception of the attack of Judge Leonard, there has been no yellow fever in ihe city for two mouths. The Fope will hold a consistory on the 25th Inst., and will deliver an allocution, and proclaim the Roman Catholic hierarchy In Scotland, confirming the Bishops ap pointed by Pius IX. Stroug detachments patrol the streets of Constantinople day and night on account of a great excitement there produced by the posting over the city of seditious placards. It is said that serious negotiations are pro ceeding between Sir Henry Elliott and Count Andraasy for an alliance between England oud Austria. Paul De Cassagnac has written to his paper, Le Jhy*, on the occasion of the Prince Imperial’s birthday, and expresses his belief in a speedy restoration of the Empire. He *ays the Prince bases his hopes on Provi dential intervention. In case the Turks overwhelm the insur gents in Greece, it is anticipated that it will be difficult to restrain the Greek army from re-entering Thessaly. Ratifications of the Turco-Russian treaty have been exchanged. Its conditions will be published as soon as It has been com municated to the powers. There is a curious contest going on in Pittsburg, between what is called the “Law and Order Society” and the ealoon keepers. The society have un dertaken to enforce the law dosing the saloons on Sunday, and on last Sunday they were pretty nearly successful in shutting up every liquor place in the city The liquor dealers propose to ro tate by enforcing the letter of the statute that prohibits labor and traffic on the Lord’s day. They threaten to stop the street and steam cars; the work on the daily papers until after 12 o’clock Sunday night; and in fact every' species of work followed on Sunday. More lhan this they declare they will go to the churches and make the drivers of the carriages that carry the religious law and ordc- people to church, vacate then scats on the ground that their Sunday work is against the law. Hon. IVm, A. Howard, confirmed on rfue-day la- 1 * by the Senate as Govemoi of HaKota Territory, was for many year- Chairman of the "Michigan Republican Committee, and was. in 1876, Chairman of the Michigan delegation to the Cm- Olnnati Convention which changed its vote to Have* on the fifth ballot. A1 though he‘is probably qualified for the office his appointment may be said to be one 0 f the scries of rewards with which Hayes has discharged personal obliga tions. Moke Exposibes.—The South Caro lina Committee on Fr * uds has submitted a re port in relation to the frauds perpe ,rated ; n 1878 in securing the passage by the South Carolina Legislature of a bill to make au aporopriation to pay the claims ihe SoulU Carolina Bank and Tru&i *-C mpany. Tlie shows tliai •fcttOOOO were d Opened as bribes, Moses, Cardoao and others being the receivers. The Anderson Case—Why an Extra Session of the Louisiana Legisla ture was Called. The Louisiana Legislature having been reconvened in extra session for fifteen days for certain purposes, the question comes up again whether Governor Xich- olls will avail of it to pardon Anderson, of the returning board, convicted of uttering false election returns. The pardon is of no effect unless ap proved by the State Senate, and hence the speculation on the subject. Itf-eems to be the prevailing opinion in New Orleans, not only that Governor Nicholls will avail himself of the oppor tunity of submitting Anderson's pardon t") the Legislature for confirmation, but that the extra session was called by him for that special purpose. It is alleged that there was no real necessity for the extra session of the Legislature, as all the necessary business of the State could have been easily disposed of by that body before its day of regular adjournment, Thursday last. There is very natu rally much feeling on the sub ject in New Orleans, whose citizens object to the expense of thirty thousand lollars for an extra session of fifteen days merely to enable Governor Nicholls to await the decision of the Supreme Court on Anderson’s appeal for a new trial, and ■>end a pardon to the Legislature in case he appeal is denied. The New Orleans Time*, a paper which represents the con servative element in Louisiana politics, in an editorial entitled “Tom Anderson’s .’session, says : Jt is quite true that there was some little business remaining to be attended to, and if we consent to ignore the negligence and folly which caused the delinquency, perhaps a few days extra session was necessary. But why fifteen? There certainly could not have been any occasion for a session of that ngth. If it requires fifteen days to com plete the unfinished business on band last Thursday night, then we might as well have perpetual Legislatures at once, for at that rate the ordinary business of the regular session ought to take a year. The fact is hat Governor Nicholls allowed exactly ten lays more than the necessities of the'case called for. The Legislature could have fin- -sbed everything last night Just as well as not, and all the dawdling and posturing we are requested to gaze upon now is intended ither to kill time and afford a decent pre text for drawing the per diem, or is displayed as a screen for the real purpose of the extra session, which has not yet been openly avowed. This latter view of the matter is, indeed, the one most generally entertained, and people do not scruple to declare the belief that the extra session was called for no other purpose than to have the Senate on hand for an emergency very foreign to the legitimate objects of legislation. It is far from a welcome proposition, in the abstract, that a superfluous session of the Legislature has been called, at an expense of at least $.'{0,000, and 6X111 less agreeable to be com pelled to suspect that the purpose which this rather transparent fiction is intended to conceal is one which the people almost unanimously disapprove. It would be plain affectation to pretend ignorance of the fact that almost everybody in New Orleans re gards the extra session as having been ar ranged for the especial benefit of Mr. Thos. C. Anderson, In order that the Senate might be present to concur in his pardon in case the Supreme Court fails to grant him a new* trial. Everybody docs so regard it, and, to sav the least, there is reasonable justification for the theory. It seems rather hard on the taxpayers of this State, who have already buffered so sorely at the hands of Mr. Anderson and his col leagues, that thev should be made to pay thirty thousand dollars simply to secure him a prompt and unobstmeted immunity from the consequences of his crimes. It is exas- >erating enough to reflect that that he is to >e pardoned at all, but when we are required to meet the expenses, and to 6uch a tune ap this, l he pressure begins to be onerou*. We have an idea that this case is one which has neve* at anytime beefl fairly with in reach of controversy or contingency. The very fact that there is to be a pardon at all is sufficient announcement that all ra tional and logical processes have been set aside, and that a fixed inexorable policy is being pursued without reference to the equi ties or merits of the question. It would be wasting tirne, therefore, to expostulate or re gret. All that can be usefully said on the subject must be in the nature* of a protest against saddling the public with enormous expenses, while the responsibility for An derson’s liberation is being juggled about among high official personages whose duty it is to protect the public against unneces sary waste.” George F. Cutter, who was nominated by Hayes, Tuesday, to be Chief of the Bureau of Provisions and Clothing and Paymaster General of the Navy, once held the position of Purchasing Pay master under Secretary Robeson, who made the appointment at the instance of a New York contractor named Matthews. Cutter then appointed as his clerk one George Blood on Matthews’ recommenda tion. This Blood had been for years the clerk of the celebrated defaulting Navy Pa}* Agent, Alex. Henderson, of New •York. The naval investigation lias proved that Matthews made valuable presents to Mrs. Cutter, and other signifi cant facts. It is believed that Cutter has been entirely too closely connected with Robeson and Matthews to be a proper person for Paymaster General. He w as nominated by Hayes at the special ses sion, but the Senate did not act upon the nomination. The renomination is quite likely to be rejected. It is difficult to un derstand, remarks the Bridgeport Funner, why Cutter should have been nominated at all, and still more difficult to see why he should have l>een renominated. Columbus Must Pay Its Debts.— The Augusta Chronicle and Constitution- alist says: “In January, 1877, twenty- five thousand dollars of Columbus bonds fell due and the city wished the holders to take new* bonds in renewal of the debt. A citizen of another State who had three thousand dollars of the bonds which had l>een puichas^d with a trust fund declined to accept the proposition and, as the city refused to pay in cash, brought suit iu the United States District Court on the obligation. He obtained judgment last November, and wn«n J)ie execution was returned unsatisfied he sued out an alternative mandamus, which ordered the Mayor and Council to assess, levy and collect a tax upon the business, personal property and real estate in Co lumbus, and all other items liable to tax ation in the city, sufficient to pay the principal, with interest, costs, and other costs liable to accrue since t&c issuance of the execution. Failing to do so, the Mayor and Council must appear l>efore the Judge at Bavaunali, on the first day of April, to show cause why they refuse. ” Him The general idea that the stock of the precious metals in the civilized world is increasing yejir by year is contradicted by the Banker* Magazine. A calcula tion is published showing that there was a decrease of $2,000,000 last year in the amount of gold and silver on hand. The entire production of gold for 1877 is esti mated at $100,000,000, and of silver at $80,000,000. Against this total of $180,- 090.000 must be offset the expuri* of $115,000,000 of silver to India, an esti mated loss in the arts, and from abrasion of coins of $42,000,000 of silver and $25,000,000 of gold, making altogether $182,000,000, or $2,000,000 more with drawn from the stock of silver and gold coin and bullion in tjje civilized world Lhan was added by the mines. Another emute has occurred at Prince ton, New Jersey, this time between the collegians and seminarians. Two of the |iatter were beaten, and six oi U*e colle gians have been arrested on charges of tissault and attempt to set £re to the old Seminary building. The latter charge grows out of the exploding of fire crack ers to celebrate the passing through their final examination. One of the prisoners was released, but the others will be bound over to await tho aotjon of the grand jury in May, - Is Any One Offended ’—Let Speak.” Senator Hill has written a letter to Dr. W P. Hardin, of Smyrna, in which he indulges in this caustic language: “It is not my intention now to allude to those who have been so earnestly slan dering myself during the last two months. Many were influenced by misapprehen sions, of which I knew'they would be ashamed in due time. Some engaged in the dirty work from chronic habit. Oth er$ did iofor hire, and for the most part, think themselves unsuspected. I will pay them my respects in the future. “I desire to make clear to you what I consider one of the greatest of the many evils which have grown up here—the evil of using public measures and popu lar demands to promote private jobs and individual fortunes. If this one evil cannot be averted, it will surely under mine our institutions. Within a stone’s throw of where I now sit are divers men living in regal style who have grown rich in public life or by public measures. The most dangerous form this evil has ever assumed is that of exciting a popular clamor to accomplish its ends. Manv members of Con gress who would not be approached with a bribe, can be frightened out of their wits by a popular meeting adroitly got ten up’ at home, or by a newspaper fusil ade which can be bought cheaper than powder. A few men can sit here in Washington city, and call popular meet ings in any State, or start a hundred newspapers to warning some member that ’nine-tenths’ of the people are in favor of a given bill, and are watching him. Men who have faced death in battle- will quail in abject cowardice before these contemptible evidences of popular clamor. Men who cannot resist and defy popular clamor which is wrong, and who do not despise alike newspaper puffs and censures, have no business in Congress. They can l>e manipulated a hundred times to help most iniquitous frauds without knowing who is moving and using them.” Now, asks the Macon Telegraph, what will those lily-livered brother Congre men have to say of this awful arraign ment of the Senator? And where, oh where will the journalists who were hired or bribed to assault the irate Ben jamin hide their diminished heads in the day of bis wrath? Southern Haims. Every Republican paper and every Re- . BY TELEGRAPH. The prospect of a settlement of the Eastern question which shall be satisfac tory to all the interested parties is not favorable. It may even be that the pro posed Congress will not be held. Its date has been from time to time postponed, until now the statement is semi officially made that it will not meet until the powers agree upon what shall be submit ted to it. Such an agreement is, from present appearances, impossible. Russia is determined that the entire treaty of peace shall not be laid before the Con gress; England and Austria declare that it must be, and are apparently preparing to sustain their demand by force. The negotiations over the Congress are plainly approaching a deadlock and, unless Germany again steps between the dis putants, war between them is not at all improbable. England and Her Sepoys.—It has been lately reported that England, in the event of a war with Russia, could count on two hundred thousand Mussulmans in Asia, who may yet fly to the help of the Sultan. From British experience in the Indian mutiny with the Sepoys, who con sist in part of Mahometans, the new allies would not be a very formidable accession in the way of fighting white men. It is doubtful, however, whether a Moslem in surrection can be relied on, as the Mos lems in India did not fly to the help of the Sultan before his defeat, and are not so enamored of British rule as to incline them to do for their English masters what they did not attempt for the Sultan. The difference is, however, that England could command their services while the Sultan could not. Tiie Public Lands and Public Edu cation.—The House Committee on Edu cation and Labor has instructed Mr. Goode, the Chairman, to report the bill providing that the net proceeds of sales of public lands shall forever lie conse crated and set apart for the education of the people. The bill provides for the apportionment of the proceeds of the sales to the States, Territories and Dis trict of Columbia, ou the basis of popu lation between five and twenty-one years of age. Mr. Goode will offer an amend ment that one-fourth of the amount be given to the agricultural colleges and in stitution. of learning established under the act of July 2d, 18C2, unless in any case the State Legislature shall otherwise direct. publican stump shrieker is busily engaged | depicting the magnitude of the amount of “Southern claims” before Congress. Some of them assert that a billion of dol lars will not cover the bills. This is an old story—one of the stock in trade of the poor old dilapidated Republican par ty. but it fails to excite the country, be cause the country knows that bills have to be passed before any fiscal advantage will accrue, and that Congress will exer cise its judgment in the premises. The Washington correspondent of the Balti more Sun shows how the Republicans work this thing up. He says: ‘ ’There is a strong effort in some quar ters to stir up anew the bugaboo of South ern war claims. Some industrious per son has gone to work and footed up the aggregate of the bills of this class which have been introduced since October 15, and on the strength of this the alarm has been sounded East and West that the treasury is to be irretrievably bankrupt ed. It has already been shown that the Democratic House of the last Congress passed a much smaller number of these war claims than had been passed bv its Republican predecessors, and it is likely that the present House will pass still less. It is true that a great manv bills of this character have been introduced, but the vast majoritv of them will never be heard of afterward. No member will refuse to introduce a bill, as that is the least favor he can perform for a constituent, but that is a very different thing from urging or securing its passage. In regard, also, to these Southern war claims, it is proper to call attention to the fact that many, perhaps the majority of them, are in the hands of speculators and lobbyists from the North, and are by them pressed upon Congress.” MIDNIGHT TELEGRAMS PROPOSED ALLIANCE BETWEEN ENGLAND AND AUSTRIA.

Effect of Foul Gases.—The New York Board of Health is acting vigor ously in the matter of foul gases in houses arising from defective plumbing. The danger of such gases was never more strongly exemplified than in the case of one house in the upper part of the city, to which the attention of the board wus called recently. Complaint w as made to the health officers by a lady that sick ness prevailed in her family owing to the presence of foul gases in her house. An examination disclosed the fact that the noxious gases emanated from the ad joining house—a brown-stone front— and, passing through crevices in the party wall, w*ere transmitted up through the basement floor, and thence to the upper floors of the house of the com plainant. Before this investigation was had he- two children had been stricken down with diphtheria, her brother-in- had died of malarial fever, and the lady herself had been ilL The only punish ment inflicted on the owner of the ad joining house, who had been cited to ap pear at court, was to make him remedy the evil whereby one death had occurred and several lives had been imperiled. A few days ago the first sale or at tempted sale, of property to satisfy judg ments against the county on its bonds was made in Lafayette county, Missouri. Three horses, the property of as many citizens, had been levied on by the Col lector and were put up for sale in Lex ington; but before the Collector proceed ed to business a large meeting of taxpay ers was held, at which it was resolved that no bid should be made. When the collector called for bids, therefore, they were not forthcoming, and after crying the property for a reasonable time the of ficer ordered the horses off with a loud cheer from the non-bidding crowd of spectators. The appearance of Russia as an ally of Turkej in resisting the proposed oc cupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina by Austria is the first manifestation of the Turco Russian alliance, offensive and de fensive, which has been reported as in existence. As the Hungarians are so much opposed to such an Austrian occu pation. it is probable that Austria will not press her claim to the two proyinces, and will therefore avoid testing the strength of the Turco-Russian alliance. But it will be very interestingtonotiee in what quarter and against what interest the alii ance will next crop out If against Eng land, a revulsion of sentiment at London, which has been strongly pro-Turkish, is likely to result. Prospects of the Restoration of the French Empire. Health or Havana. Washington weather prophet. Office op the Chief Signal Observer, ^ ashingtqn, D.

Constantinople, March 17.—The Rus sian troops have crossed the river between Makri Koi and Stefano. and occupied three villages near Makey. The Porte, by the ad vice of Milkatar Pasha, has not vet assented to the Russians occupying Bujukdere. The Rushans, nevertheless, have arrived at Do- monsdere, behind Bujukdere. The Czar’s yacht Eyrklick with two torpedo boats has cast anchor off Bujukdere. Mr. Blunt, the BriLish Consul at Adrianople, has arrived here, the Russians having refused to recog nize the consular body at Adrianople oi Phillippopolis. RUSSIA NOT OPPOSED TO GRECIAN REP BE NT ATI OK. 8t. Petersburg, March 17.—The Agenre Rujue denies that Russia opposes Greece be ing represented in the Congress and adds that the Greek powers alone can constitute a Congress. The representatives of secon dary and other interested States will be ad mitted a* delegates in reference to questions wherein their States are concerned. Steps are now being taken for the progressive re turn of the Russian army from Turkey. PROPOSED ALLIANCE BETWEEN ENGLAND AND AUSTRIA. London, March 17.—The following dis patch has been received by the Reuter Telegram Company : “\ IONNA, March 17.—It is said that se rious negotiations are proceeding between Sir Henry Elliott and Count Andrassy for an alliance between England and Ai=tria. If the negotiations succeed, Couut An drassy 's position will be strengthened. If they fail, a Ministerial crisis will ensue, and Count Andrassy may possibly resign. ” PROSPECTS OP A RESTORATION OP THE FRENCH EMPIRE. Paris, March 17.—Paul de Cassagnac, writing to Le J\iy* on the occasion of the Prince Imperial’s birthday, expresses his belief in a si>eedy restoration of the empire. He declares the Imperialists are ready and will be vigilant and resolute when the occa sion presents itself. The Prince neither in trigues nor observes a purely contemplative attitude, but admits, like his father, the doc trine of Providential intervention. STEAM ON THE STREET ^RAILROADS IN WASH INGTON. The Bridgeport Farmrr says it is to be hoped that the resolution declaring it to be the sense of the House that Diaz should be recognized as the legal head of the Mexican Government, which Mr Cox offered on Monday, and which will, under the rules, be the unfinished busi ness on Monday next, will be adopted. The recognition of the de facto Mexican Presidenf by the de facto American Presi dent has been long enough delayed at the instance of land and mine speculators. Amusements. SAYA»AH THEATRE. TWO NIGHTS ONLY I MONDAY AND TUESDAY, MARCH 19 and 19. Washington, March 17.—The Argamans, a steam street railroad car, made "regular trips to-day on Pennsylvania avenue, pre ceded and followed by regular horse cars. The car was crowded on every trip and mounted Capitol hill elevation, three hun dred and fifteen feet to the mile, without any trouble. The novel machine did not frighten the horses on the avenue. BOLD BANK ROBBEKT. Boston, March 17.—The Lechmore Na tional Bank of East Cambridge has been robbed of $3,000 in money and $47,000 iu government bonds and securities. .’Saturday a man and woman drove up to the bauk after business hours, and calling the Presi dent to the sidewalk, engaged him in con versation. On his return he missed three trunks containing the above amount of property. JUDGE LEONARD’S BODY—THE HEALTH OP The Augusta Chronicle and Constitu tionalist, remarking ou the proposition made by our City Couucil to the holders of Savannah bonds, says: “The Ixmd- holders are asked to surrender a good deal. They must not only give up the cash for their matured coupons to which they are entitled, but they are also re quired to refund coupons and bonds in a new bond which during a period of ten years cannot possibly pay them a higher rate of interest on their iuvestnptnt than two per cent, per annum. Btill, as this proposition seems to embody the best terms that can be obtained from Savan nah, perhaps it would be good policy for the bondholders to accept it and put an end tc present trouble and litigation. ” Among the new features of the naval appropriation bill it is provided that in future there shall lie no appointments made from civil life qf secretaries or clerks to commanders of squadrons nor elerks to commanders of vessels, and a line office* opt above the grade of lieu tenant shall be detailed to perform the duties of secretary, and of not above the grade of master to perform the duties of clerk to a rear admiral or commander, and one not above the grade of ensign to be clerk to a captain, commander or lieu tenant commander when afloat. The total appropriation recommended by the bill is $14.04^,684. ‘It is gratifying to learn, says the Bal timore Gazette, from Gen. Butler’s young man, Simmons, that notwithstanding his set back he will not cease his labors ‘for the up building of that party which has given, for the past sixteen years, an ele vated form of republican government to the nation.’ “Ye-es! Belknap, Babcock, whisky, credit mobilier, subsidy rings, post traderships,.Ben Butlers, returning board 0 , and all those numerous other “elevated (?) forms of republican gov eminent,” to say nothing of Boston cus tom houses and “sich.” A few more such specimens of republican govern ment, and both the republic and the na tion will be cievated “higher than kite.” Reciprocal Trade.—A committee Jias been organized in Paris for the purpose oi agitating the question of commercial reciprocity between France and the Uni ted States. The committee has sent dele gates to the United States, and has pub lished a circular calling for co-operation on the part of American merchants to secure such an adjustment of the tariff as would encourage u more extensive trade between the two countries. The committee thinks that the two great re publics of the world ought to maintain the closest and most friendly busihess relations, and cal!° for the appointment of a committee here for the purpose of co-operation and agitation of the question at issue. 8ilvkk Certificates for Circula tion.—The House Commit!eg on Bank ing and Currency on Friday evening directed Mr. Hartzell to report a bill for the issue oi certificates from $10 upwards for ali silver bullion, counting Ule bul lion at its equivalent in silver coin dol lars, less cost of mintage and transporta tion to points where the certificates are redeemable. The deposu i? to be made and the certificates issued at any mint or assay office—rto be redeemable in silver eoln or bullion at Han franciicq, where certificates were Issued west of the Rocky Mountains and New York, where issued east. These certificates are to be legal tender for all public dues. A Swedish gun has been invented which is claimed to be much superior to the Gatling gun. It is worked after the manner of pianoforte playing, moves to and fro in a section of a circle, and sweeps all the ground that it covers in a most marvelous manner. It is some thing like sweeping a lawn with water from the jet of a garden hose moved right and left by the operator. The Rus sian navy has this wonderful Swedish in vention ready for U9e iu their fleet. It can be carried up into the maintop for firing on the enemy’s deck and inside for tifications. In close quarters it would sweep the enemy’s decks of combatants. Hon. Henry Watterson says the only hunter he knows of who is in danger of being eaten up by his own dog is the editor of the New York Times, who, having hounded the pack upon the South for ten years, sees now in the West the hungry mouth of dissatisfied rapacity whetted and open to spring upon the East, and thirsting more for the blood of the bondholder than it ever thirsted for the blood of the slaveholder. The indications are that while there is some decided opposition to abiding by the decision of the board of arbitrators in the fisheries case, and while the gen eral sentiment in Congress is against the justice of the award, still both houses will be found finally resolved to pay the full five millions and a half. It is also thought the probable amount will be paid out of the undistributed Geneva award fund After the Kentucky Legislature had voted ten thousand dollars for a monu ment to John C. Breckinridge, the only Republican memljej’ of the State Senate moved to appropriate au equal sum for a monument to Gen. William Nelson, a eon of Kentucky who fought to maintain the Union, The motion received only one vote. HAVANA. Havana, March 17.—Mr. Leonard's body has been embalmed and deposited in the cemetery to await the directions of hin friends. * Havana is perfectly healthy, with the single exception of the fatal attack of Mr. Leonard, and in no case has yellow fever occurred for two months, and there is no illness from yellow fever at the Hotel de Telegrafo. THE STREETS OP CONSTANTINOPLE PAT ROLLED. London, March 17.—A Reuter telegram from Constantinople says: “Strong detach ments patrol the streets day and night, on ac count of the great excitement which prevails over the posting of seditious placards. The Turkish garrir*ons of Shumla and Varna, numbering 58,000 men, besides 18,000 Egyp tian troops, are expected here.” INTERNATIONAL WALKING MATCH. London, March 17.—The following named contestants have started in the international walking match: Bailey. Brown. Corklev, Groves, Hazael, Ide, George Johnson, 8. Johnson, Lewis Martyn, McCarthy, Mc- Leary, Cleary, J. Smith, W. Smith, Smithe, and Vaughan. HOMAN CATHOLIC HIERARCHY IN SCOTLAND. London, March 17.—A Reuter dispatch from Rome states that the Pope will hold a consistory on March 25. He will deliver an allocution and proclaim the re-establishment of the Catholic Hierarchy of Scotland, con firming the Bishops appointed by Pius IX. DEFEAT OP THE PRESCH RADICALS. Marseilles, March 17.—M. Amat, Re publican, has been elected to the Chamber of Deputies, defeating M.

According to late advices from Rome, King Humbert will only give his consent to the formation of a new cabinet “on condition that the foreign policy remain unchanged, and the law of Papal guar antees and the fundamental laws of the State be maintained. ” So far as the law of Papal guarantees is concerned, this announcement is simply an indorsement of the recent decision of the Council of State, which declared that said law is practically a part of the constitution, and therefore cannot be repealed, modified or repudiated. As the relation between the civil and ecclesiastical authorities iu Italy hinge on these guarantees, a brief sum mary of them will be interesting. They were made necessary by the consumma tion of Italian unity in the establishment of the capital at Rome, and the conse quent abolition of the temporal power of the Papacy. There are nineteen articles. The first three relate directly to the supreme Pod tiff. They affirm the inviolability of his person and provide the same penalties for assaults upon him, or conspiracies with intent to assault, that are attached to similar offences against the King. Everywhere within Italian territory he is entitled to, and must be received with, the honors of royalty. The fourth and fifth articles settle upon him an annual income of about $850,000, and assign for his perpetual use the palaces of the Vati can and the Lateran and tne villa of Castel Gandolfo—the latter some fifteen miles from Rome. The sixth article secures the personal lilierty of the Car dinals during the interregnum caused by the death of the Pope.und promises government protection to conclaves and (Ecumenical Councils. The seventh and eighth articles forbid the entrance of g >fice or other civil officials into any apal residence, conclave or council without the permission of the Pope; and also prohibit the seizure or examination of all papers relating to the spiritual sovereignly of the Holy See. The ninth article insures to the Pope the full exerci»e of all his spiritual func tions without interference or supervision by the civil power. The tenth article protects all ecclesiastical agents, who may assist the Pope in these functions, from judicial inquiry and prosecution. The eleventh article places those envoys who may be accredited by foreign govern ments to the Papal court on the same diplomatic footing with envoys to the court of the King. The twelfth article protects the Pope’s correspondence from scrutiny or detention. The thirteenth article exempts the ecclesiastical semi naries in Rome from the surveillance of the Minister of Public Education. The last six articles are devoted to the relations be tween Church and State. There are to l>e no restrictions on the meeting of priest- 5 . The government has nothing to do with clerical appointments, or with the authorization of clerical edicts. No appeal can be made to the civil power against any spiritual or diseplinary acts of the ecclesiastical authorities, but the civil power neither executes nor recog nizes them. No ecclesiastical enact ments in opposition to civil laws, or in jurious to public order or private rights, are permitted. Thus far the Italian Government has faithfully observed the guarantees, and the declaration of King Humbert in re gard to them—supplementing, as it does, the decision of the Council of State— shows that they will be respected and enforced in the future as iu the past. The Papal policy under the late Pope ignored them altogether, thereby render ing any union between the church and the State impossible. It remains to be seen whether Leo XIII. w ill imitate the example of his predecessor in this re spect. SIMMONS, SLOCUM S WE ATM AX’S MINSTRELS.
