MONDAY. JUNE 17. 1S7S.
TATPl.NG THE WIRES.
A resolution was adopted in the Senate on
Saturday to extend the session of Congress
to the -ioth Inst., and it was immediately
sent to the House for the concurrence of
that body.
The European Congress will not hold daily
sittings,but the time and intervals of adjourn
ment will be left for decision from day to day.
It is reported that neither Bismarck, Bea-
eonstield nor Gortschakoff will remain until
the close of the session, and if this be true
the final details will be left to the second
plenipotentiaries. It is thought the body
wiU be in session several weeks.
The bark Azor. with the South Carolina
colored emigrants for Liberia, has arrived
at Sierra Leone. In the passage the ship
fever broke out. Much suffering was ex
perienced, and twenty-three fell victims to
the disease. The rest of the 250 were in
good health and spirits.
Lord Dufferin declines a reappointment as
Governor General of Canada.
An Anglo-Turkish understanding is re
ported. It secures the paramount influence
of Enel and not only in Asia Minor, but in
Constantinople.
Lord Beaconsfield, in a speech in the Con
gress, has called attention to the penis at
taching to the military situation at Constan
tinople. It is stated that he demanded
an immediate change that would remove
from dangerous proximity the Russian and
Turkish armies in Roumelia, and expressed
the hope that the Russian delegates would
be able at the next sitting to announce that
the Russians had withdrawn.
At 2 a. m. Friday morning James A.
Abbott, express agent atGoleonda, Illinois,
was awakened by four men who decoyed
him into a store on pretence that they want
ed something for a sick person. Upon
getting there they demanded a #700 package
of money supposed to have been in his pos
session. The package had not arrived, so
they robbed Abbott of about $70, and
putting him in a skiff, rowed him down the
river a few miles and threw him overboard.
He reached the shore and gave the alarm
and a man supposed to have been one of the
party was captured.
Anxious to reduce the Democratic major
ity in the Senate of the Forty-sixth Con
gress as much as possible, Mr. Cameron,
of Wisconsin, of the Senate sub-Com-
mittee on Privileges and Elections, has
given notice that he will in the case of
Corbin against Butler, of South Carolina,
report in favor of Corbin. This, too, not
withstanding that the ease has been already
acted on once, and is now rw adjudicata.
Minister ^Noyes. one of the celebrated
visiting statesmen, has arrived from France
in obedience to a subpoena of the Potter In
vestigating Committee. Of course, like
Sherman and Stanley Matthews, he declares
he is innocent of the charges of aiding and
abetting frauds, although he confesses that
he went to Florida to see a “fair count.*’
There is reason to believe that an under
standing has been arrived at between Aus
tria and Russia by which the interests of the
former are to be protected.
It is stated that the Turkish delegates to
the Congress have been instructed to with
draw injease autonomy is granted Epirus,
Thessaly, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Turkey
prefers under these circumstances to execute
the San Stefano treaty.
Reports that the Sultan’s mind is affected
are untrue. No doubt, though, he is the vic
tim of nervous agitation and is a prey to
causeless apprehensions and groundless
alarms.
The House has agreed to the Senate
amendment fixing the size of the army at
twenty-five thousand men, but Las insisted
upon the clause in the bill prohibiting the
army’s being used for civil purposes.
Our telegraphic columns are largely filled
np with accounts of murders in different
parts of the North and West during the
past two days. One of these occurred in
Philadelphia, one near Chicago, one in
Wheeling. West Virginia, one in St. Louis
and one in Jefferson, Mo.
The Chicago Socialists held a picnic yes
terday. All passed of peaceably and
orderly. From two thousand five hundred
to three thousand men were in line, carry
ing very few arms. Workingmen in every
part of the city express confidence that no
serious trouble will result from labor
organizations this year.
Gortschakoff is suffering with an attack
of indigestion, but the Congress will sit to
day even If he Is absent.
The St. Petersburg Journal is confident
that from the wisdom and moderation which
characterize the statesmen assembled in Ber
lin, everything will be done to secure solid
peace in Europe, restore order in the East,
and remove all cause of apprehension in
the future.
The Wiliimantie Thread Company of
Hartford, Connecticut, employing one
thousand operatives, paid them off in gold
on Saturday. The sight of the strange
money created a decided sensation, as
many of the employes had never seen gold
coin before.
Regarding campaign contributions, Mr.
Hayes agrees with Mr. Schurz, that “clerks
have a right to spend their money as their
political principles or public spirit dictate.”
This simply means that money in any sums
from department employes to secure the
election of Republicans to office will be
gladly received. ■
The Fulton ferry boat James n. Stephens
was sunk as she was approacning her pier
yesterday on account of a collision with a
tug boat. She sunk in twenty minutes, but
succeeded in landing her passengers in
safety.
o “Bloody Tragedy"—Will It Prove
a “Contemptible Farce P
Hon. A. H. Stephens in opposing the
investigation into the electoral frauds al
leged to have been committed in Louisi
ana and Florida, based his opposition on
the ground that such investigation would
prove either a bloody tragedy or a con
temptible farce. The House has settled
the matter as to the first part of Mr.
Stephens' prediction. Not satisfied
with one resolution to the effect that Mr.
Hayes' title cannot be disturbed, it has
adopted two, declaring that the question
of Mr. Hayes'title having been settled
by the Forty-fourth Congress, neither the
present nor any subsequent Congress, nor
the United States Supreme, nor any
other court which can be consti
tuted, has any power to alter that action.
This emphatic declaration most effec
tually lays the Radical bugbear of
revolution and ‘ Mexicanizing'* the gov
ernment, which was attempted to be
raised on the passage of the Potter reso
lution. and Mr Hayes can now rest sat
isfied that he will be permitted to draw
his $.70,000 per annum to the end of his
term without molestation; 3Ir. Key can
quiet his apprehensions over the possible
loss of the Postmaster Generalship, and
Mr. Stephens can sleep in peace over
the knowledge that there certainly will
result no bloody tragedy.
But will the investigation terminate in
a contemptible farce? That remains to
be seen. Fraud, forgery and perjury
have been clearly proven to have been
the means by which Mr. Hayes attained
his seat. Neverlhele s Congress has
solemnly declared that under our system
of government an usurper once in
the Presidential chair can never, under
any circumstances short of impeachment
and conviction, be disturbed by any
power under Heaven. Thus successful
fraud is acknowledged to be impregna
ble. Yet this government of the people—
“the greatest government the world ever
saw”—must have some power to vindicate
its majesty, and teach that the funda
mental principles upon which our whole
system of government is based—viz; that
the governing shall hold their places only
by the consent of the governed—cannot
be violated with impunity. Surely
somebody should suffer for these of
fences, and be an made example of as a
warning to future evil doers and traitors.
It follows, then, that since the majesty
of the government cannot be vindicated
in the removal of Hayes, nothing is left
but that the arch traitors—the “visitiDg
statesmen" who first planned, and then
came South to give “moral support,"
i. c., bribe with promises of place
and reward, to their tools who were
to carry out the conspiracy—should
pay the penalty of their crimes. If it
finally turns out that, in spite of these
things. Sherman, Noyes, Matthews,
and all their confederates can, like Hayes,
still continue to enjoy their high, lucrative
official positions, the rewards of their vil
lainy, in perfect peace, then, indeed, will
Mr. Stephens’ prognostications be fully
verified. Not only will the investiga
tion prove to be most aimless, but both
it and our entire system of government
will stand forth before the eyes of the
world as the most contemptible of all
foolish farces.
Is Suicide Epidemic I
In New Y'ork and other cities in that
vicinity on Thursday, within a few hours,
five suicides were committed. Com
menting on this fearful record of a day
the Sun says: “The most distressing case
is that of young Levys, who had been
married less than a week. He. was sober,
but he had the blues, and began to brood
over imaginary pecuniary troubles till at
last he swallowed strychnine. The in
quest brought out evidence of his insani
ty. The German Adam Raetli had poi
soned himself with liquor until he was
bereft of reason. Then dressing himself
in his best, lie announced to his wife and
daughters that he should kill himself.
Going to Central Park, he took poison
and hanged himself to a tree. Van
llouten- death in Newark was yet
more peculiar. He had accused
brother Masons of attempting his fife by
stabbing him, and was at the investiga
tion by lodge representatives. Suddenly
he called for water, and soon afterward
died in great agony. Strychnine was
found on his person, and the post mortem
examination revealed a diseased brain.
Threats of being discharged preyed upon
the mind of Frank Door, a German gar
dener of Harlem, until, after showing
svmptoms of insanity, he shot himself
dead. But Peter Van Hugan. of Pater
son, was more determined than any of
the others. His crazy actions attracted
attention, and when he threw himself be
fore an approaching locomotive he was
dragged away. But he sought a more
secluded spot, and, repeating the attempt,
was crushed lifeless. This is a ghastly
record of twenty-four hours.”
On our first page will be found the
very temperate and dignified reply of the
Augusta Chronicle and Co net it u tionali.d
to the letter of Hon. A. H. Stephens to the
Chairman of the Democratic Executive
Committee of the Eighth District, which
letter we characterized as a “defiance."
It will be seen that the Chronicle not only
regards Mr. Stephens' letter as a defiance
but also as “a gratuitous insult to the
Democracy of the district.” We do not
doubt that the editors express the gene
ral sentiment of Mr. Stephens* constitu
ency and the Democracy of the State.
There is some prospect that the
Democracy wifi not have to go Into the
fall canvass handicapped with Johnny
Koaeh's six hundred thousand dollars
subsidy. The post route bill in which
the subsidy to the Brazilian steamship
fine was incorporated by the Senate is
on the table of the Speaker of the
House, and a single cbjectSoa will keep
it there unless a two-third vote cas be
obrtned, which is not at all probable!
Air. Hendricks told a Cincinnati Com
mercial interviewer “ there Was more
danger of our institutions becoming
Mexicanized by repeated and continued
political frauds than by investigation,
exposure and extirpation." That is about
the average American view of it, outside
of the select few who perpetrated the
frauds.
The rats are becoming very trouble
some in Washington City. When Beast
Butler the other day called upon the
manager of the Atlantic and Pacific
Telegraph Company to produce certain
important dispatches bearing on the elec
toral frauds, the witness declared that
the rats had devoured them.
Senator Blaine has an attack of ma
larial fever, and is confined to his house.
Senator Edmunds also has this fever,
and is not expected to be again in his
seat during the remainder of the session.
The Louisiana Commission*.—AWash-
ington special says: The expenses of
the Louisiana commission of last year
j have not yet been provided for, and al-
I though the Secretary of the Treasury has
j called the attention of the appropriation
committees of both houses to it several
times neither committee responds. The
bill of the commission a. the St. Charles
Hotel amounted to nearly $2,U00. There
seems to be no doubt that the drafts of
the commission were cashed at the sub-
treasury in New Orleans, and that this
was done by orders from Washington.
The total expenses of the commission
were over $5,000.”
As there was no authority for such a
commission, and no appropriation of
money for its expenses, it would seem
that the parties interested in the adjust-
meat of Mr. Hayes* “Southern policy”
should foot the hill. As the business of
the commission was pureiy in the inter
est of the President, who had just been
counted in, and as Mr. Hayes is now se
cure in his seat and bis salary, he could
well afford to indemnify the parties who
advanced the funds.
The Latest New York Scandal.—
As Max Strakosch was promenading
on West Fourteenth street, New York,
on Thursday, he was accosted by Deputy
Sheriff McGonigle, who arrested him for
breach of promise of marriage, at the
suit of Miss Mary Clementine Smedley, of
Chicago, Strakosch, who was recently
married in California to a Miss Neilson,
of Long Island, N. Y., was about to sail
for Europe with his bride, but was
required to give bond for his appear
ance in the sum of $10,000. Miss Sraed-
ley charges that Strakosch broke his
marriage engagement with her, giving
as his reason for not fulfilling his prom
ise that he was a Jew, and could not
marry a Christian. She also alleges that
he attempted to make her his mistress.
Sfrakosch denies the whole story, and
says the suit js an attempt on the part of
the Chicago woman, who was for a time
a pupil of his, to levy blackmail.

London, June 16.—The C/beenrr says it
has reason to believe that Austria and Russia
have reached an understanding by which
the interests of Austria in Hungary will be
protected in some way. English interests
are protected by the agreement between
Salisbury and Schouvaloff. The premature
publication of the latter by the Globe is gen
erally believed to have been procured by
Russian diplomatists with the object of
quieting the excitement in Russia about the
supposed concessions to England.
A Reuter dispatch from Constantinople,
via Syria, asserts that the - Turkish delegates
have been instructed to withdraw from the
Congress and declare that Turkey prefers to
execute the stipulations of the treaty of San
Stefano if the Congress decides to grant
autonomy to Epirus, Thessaly. Bosnia and
Herzegovina.
Reports that the Sultan's mind is affected
are untrue, but there is no doubt the Sul
tan suffers from nervous agitation and
is a prey to causeless apprehensions. Min
isters Layard and Fourkrey have made
friendly representations to Savfet Pasha
respecting the frequency of ministerial
changes and the banisnment of important

ARRIVAL OF ANOTHER VISITING STATESMAN.
New York, June 16.—Minister Noyes
arrived here to-day from France in the City
of Richmond. In*conversation with a repre
sentative of the Associated Press,relating to
the cause of his return at this time, Minis
ter Noyes said: “I went to Florida for no
purpose on earth except to ascertain the
rote of the State, and to see whether or
not the popular vote had been cast for the
Ilepublican electors. I stated to the
two Republican members of the
canvassing board that all we wanted
was an honest decision. I never
made any promise to McLin or any other
member, nor did I suggest any possible re
ward or recognition in case Governor Hayes
should be finally declared elected, and,’so
far as McLin is* concerned, never saw him
alone one moment in my life before the
vote of Florida 1 ad been cast. I am nowin-
formed for the first time that even McLin
does not say that I made him any
promise. Had I known that before leaving
Paris I should not have demanded a sub
poena, but should have remained in France
to attend to my public duties. I do not
care to be more specific, as it would Derhap6
be in bad taste, considering that I am soon
to give my sworn statement to the com
mittee. In the course of further conversa
tion, Minister Noyes said that while he did
not care at this time to be interviwed he had
nothing whatever to conceal. He also ex
pressed the hope that every politician in the
North, whether Democratic or Republican,
would be subpeensed who bad visited Flori
da on this business, as that would be only
fair to all parties concerned or interested in
the matter. It was certainly due to him,
since he had been so conspicuously named
in the preamble of Mr. Potter's resolution.
Minister Noyes will remain in town to
night, and leave for Washington to-morrow.
CONGRESSIONAL NOTES.
Washington, June 16.—Both houses ad
journed at a ^atc hour last night until 11
o'clock Monday. All the appropriation bills
have gone to the President, except the sun
dry civil appropriation bill, which is still in
the hauds of the Senate Committee on Ap
propriations, but will probably be reported
to the Senate for action to-moiTow.
The bill passed by the Senate, and now
on the Speaker’s table, appropriating five
and a half millions to pay the Halifax
fisherv award, must, in addition to the sun
dry civil bill, receive final action before ad
journment.
Iiqmediately afu.*r the Internal Revenue
bill now pending js acted on in the House
the Speaker will recognize Crapo, of Massa
chusetts, a member of the Committee on
Foreign Affairs, who has the Halifax bill in
charge, aDd the probability is the House
will immediately proceed to act upon it in
the same way, but many are of the opinion
that a slight further extension of the ses
sion may be necessary in order to complete
the action.
The Senate has confirmed Thos. A. Henn
as Collector of Customs of Pimlico, N. Y.
The indications are that the Potter Com
mittee will reserve Mrs. Jenks for examina
tion until after adjournment.
Cameron, of Wisconsin, of the sub-com-
mittee of the Senate Election*Committee,
has notified the full committee that he will
report in favor of Corbin in the case of Cor
bin against Butler.

as well as the former. Negotiations at Con
stantinople for the surrender have been
abandoned, the matter now being consid
ered in the hands of the Congress.
General opinion is still that none of the
minor States will be admitted to the Con
gress with the possible exception of Greece,
about which reports are contradictory.
A statement comes from Paris that* Persia
claims admission on the ground that the
settlement of the Eastern question necessa
rily affects Persian interests.

THURSDAY, .TUNE 20, 1878.
The Postmaster General apprehends
very serious embarrassment in earn ing
on the postal service, by reason of the
reductions in compensation of the rail
roads and department officials made by
Congress. The compensation of the
railroads was reduced ten per cent, du
ring the last Congress, and the present
Congress five per cent. more. Mr. Key
does not think the railroads will stand
this. He says that he fears he will lose
a number of his best officers, special
agents and officers of railway transporta
tion, who will be offered better salaries
than the government now gives them,
and he fears that the system of postal
cars, which has done so much for the
postal service, may, in consequence of
the reduced appropriations, be obliged to
be abandoned.

The Resumption Repeal Bn.i..—The
United States Senate on Thursday dis
posed of the House bill to repeal the
specie resumption act by adopting a sub
stitute reported by the Senate Finance
Committee, which provides that from
and after the passage of the bill United
States notes shall be received the same as
coin in payment of the four per cent,
bonds now authorized by law to be is
sued. and that on and after October 1,
1878, said notes shall be receivable for
duties on imports. That portion of the
bill, as it came from the House, provid
ing for the repeal of the specie resump
tion act, forbidding the retirement of
United States notes, etc., was stricken
out, the latter subject being covered by
another bill which recently passed.
A Railroad Strike sot Costem-
plated.—A Chicago dispatch states that
P. M. Arthur, chief of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, who is now in
that city, denies that any railroad strike
is contemplated. He also says that the
Brotherhood does not believe in strikes,
but what it demands is that the railroad
companies shall recognize the organiza
tion, and, upon a demand being made in
regard to wages, the railroad officers
should be willing to listen to their state
ments and compromise with them to a
certain extent. He defends the peaceful
and moderate policy of the Brotherhood
by stating that the officers last summer
had peacefully compromised with four
teen railroads, though neither the com
panies nor the public had given them
credit for it.
Speaker Randal] and other members
of the Pennsylvania delegation in the
House have received an anonymous dis
patch from Philadelphia saying: “There
are in this city over one hundred thous
and of us idle, starving workingmen who
desire work. If Congress fails to give
more liberally for public improvements
here, there will be riots greater than ever
known. We must have bread." We
suspect the sender of the anonymous
dispatch is more anxious for an increase
of the army than for public improve
ments.
The July Popular Science Monthly will
contain the first part of the elaborate ad
dress of Prof. Emil DuBois-Reymond,
of Berlin, on ‘ Civilization and Science.”
which was delivered not long since at
Cologne, and has already passed through
several German editions. The discourse
is a masterly review of the great phases
of man s intellectual progress with refer
ence to the higher culture of modem
times, and with especial reference to that
evil influence known as Americanization
from which the European universities
are already beginning to suffer.
Commissioner JJauw, of the Internal
Revenue Bureau, to obviate the incon
venience of affixing revenue stamps to
small packages of tobacco, has deter
mined to issue stamped labels on wrap
pers, to be printed by the government
from the designs of the manufacturers.
Ex-Governor Horatio Seymour is in

ment in relation to the adoption of cheese

L EVERYBODY mho has goods to sell tells the public, by word or advertisement, that he sells
Hi lower than his neighbors, either in similar language- or by inference. The public is used to
it and has formed its own conclusions. Often these fiauiing advertisements ha\'e only the effect
of producinga smile—they have lost their won tel effect, because they have appeared so often,
time and again, that they are now rather stale. Besides, the public has discovered that there is
not a Dry Goods House in the city which sells as low. or is as reliable as
WEISBEIN’S
(lieap Dry Goods House
?
I have never used any devices to allure the public to my store. True, I have used printers* ink
quite freely, but have never promised anything which I did not fulfill. An advertisement of such
a nature builds up a man’s business, and if it is not of that character, it has the contrary effect.
Fully aware of it, I have been very cautious to avoid it. All I have ever asked of the public was
to examine my goods and prices, and I was sure, if I could induce visitors. I would make cus
tomers of them, for any one m ho is a judge of goods cannot fail to see how much 1- wer I sell my
goods than other houses do. In reality, the public has appreciated my efforts to such an extent
that it is impossible for me to continue business at the old stand and to accommodate the crowds
of customers. Now I put the question to everybody. Why do the people flock in countless num
bers to my store? Am I not right, if I assert, because I give them more value for their money
than they*can obtain eLsewhere? One may humbug people probably for a while, but not for long?
In consequence I have been compelled to look for new quarters, where I am better enabled to
accommodate my patrons, and have secured the elegant an i commodious building known as
LOVELL'S BLOCK, adjoining the old established Hardware House of Crawford & Lovell, No. 153
