LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION I AND MONK THAN TWICE THE LARGEST AGGREGATE CIRCULATION! Ex-Gov. Kjxlooo has purchased abouse i la Washington, and says be will not re- bun to Louisiana. We eongratnlate Ibe State. In Obmtnnati Commercial says that PresideDt and Mrs. Hayes have determ land that at tbeir public reeeptions and private entertainments neither wine nor Uqaots of any description shall be served. Baums Lahab, who personally favors Randall, thinks Morrison moat likly to be sleeted Speaker. It is said tkeSontbern members will demand oontrol of the Com mittee on Appropriations and on Paoifie Railroads. A oostsmtosabt says that Fred Doug lass and his three sou being ail.ia fat offices, the negro race may be considered as satisfied, the oonntry having been for yimrs taught to consider Fred as compria- ing tha oolored people of America. Ex-Got. Oiiusaun of Sooth Caro lina will remove to New York in a few dayA He will be from May 1st a mem ber of the new law firm of Chamberlain, Carter A Eaton, bis partners being Waller J. Carter and Bherborn B. Eaton, both praotioing lawyers. Paocabd is said to have in his posses sion a written pledge from Garfield, Sher. man, Hale and the others on Grant's Lon. Mans Committee guaranteeing that Hayes would sustain him if be (Hayss) became President. Hayes is not respon Bible for the doings of Grant's henohmen. Tbs Columbia Journal, referring to the appointment of Judge Key as Postmaster fteMUU, says that Gov. Porter telegraph, ed him to aooept the position. Such, we are authorised to state, was not the oase. Gov. Porter did not advise Judge Key,by telegraph or otherwise, on the subjeot, Bbobxtabt Shbsmah is taking the ad' vise whioh everybody so readily gave him, and announoes that no more one and two 4°4*r legal tenders will be given out in unhangs for larger notes. Besides re moving one of tho great obstacles to spe cie payments this course will enlarge the legitimate field of silver. Monus Ltmoii is the head porter of the ltevere House, in Boston, and Morris de serves a notice booause be has made 940,000 in the twenty-six years he has been there. James Barrett, head porter at Parker's, owns a hotel of his own, and one of the waiters in the dining room, who works for twenty dollars a month, is taxed for 926,000, the aooumulation of many tips. Oua of the saddest incidents of the Southern Hotel conflagration was the death of the Hon. George Munster, M. F., of England, who recently married the daughter of a prominent physioian of St. Louis. He was spending his honeymoon at tits hotel. By wonderful presenoe of mind on the part of his wife, both escap ed out of the burning building, but their flight and the confusion and horror of the Soeno had overturned Mr. Munster’s rea son, and under an insane impulse he rushed baok into the building, and, put ting a pistol to bis head, blew his brains Tan Financial Chronicle believes in a general business revival. After alluding to the depressing influence of the South ern question, and its removal by the set tlement of the South Carolina and Louis iana cases, the Chronicle says the consid erations that point in that direction are : X. The process of general liquidation whioh has now continued for three and a half years. 2. The unusual conservatism in feeling sinoe the break in 1873. 8. The enforoed economy of produc tion. Eubqfbam Wab.—It seems that war be tween ltussia and Turkey ie inevitable. In a week troops may be olashing in skir- miahihg. Aa it is Russia is the strongest. By marohing an army into Bournania and the Christian provinces Russia may with ant maintain the defensive, and before i long period, some of the numerous peo ple* of Turkey would revolt and internal daaeension ae well as outward foes menace the Ottoman Empire. Telegrams intimate that Austria and Hungary will eide with England. The position of Germany and France is to be governed by oireumetan- oee. It is exceeding probable that all Europe may be drawn into the confliot. This side it will help wonderfully—creat ing a demand for grain, meat and ootton for food and manufacture. Already oorn, wheat and meats have advanced. We are to have a succession of terrible namesby telegraph. ' An exohange •ays the Russian military chief is General Nepokoitehitsky. It would only be neoeaaaqr to hurl that name at any Christian power to complete its destruction, but the Turk 4s used to it. All he has to do is to mount some such name as Piewnaopowasebistowaterraova on wheels and he is ready for Gen. N. A NEW POLITICAL WABTNKIIMP Blaine has unequivocally spoken his sentiments. It is in favor of earpet-bag- gism. BatleA has uttered his fiat. It is against the preseot order of arrange- manta. They will yaafcc • Ofoqg team— the one in the Senate and the' other in the House, and both palling to make Hayes recognize the powers that made him. If he does not yield, be will possess more firmness and persistence of obamster than that of which be iegeneraily supposed to be possessed. If Blaine ahowa any headway, Morton will lend his bloody-abirt aid, while Conkling and bis class will be num bered among the neutrals. In the House, Townsend, of New York, and politicians of that Ilk will rally to the support of Butler, and outside they will be joined by the Ben Wade and Bob Iogaraoll school of South haters. .The carpet-bag Southern element will also come to the aid of anything that if opposed to the best interqpt* of the South, ^utterly regardless'of the leader. In Butler they will find a man>holly unscru pulous, with plenty of brains and an as tuteness that will oarry an Immense weight. With all his mental power he will daaoend to any common, dirty trick to gain his end. This is the combination that is to] foroe the man who reaohed the White House to support the extremists of the party. If he does he can do nothing, and will be in a worse oonditfon than President Johnson. The Democrats have the House, and nearly have the Senate. He dare not offend them seriously and adopt immode rate measures, or both Housos will be against him. He is betwoen Scylla and Gbarybdis, and unless he steers most oarefully a middle course he will be dashed to pieees upon the rocks. He dare not refuse to,remove troops from Louisiana, and that in a very abort time. That is a settled thing. He will dilly, dally ae long as be can, talking paoificaUon the while but doing as little as he possibly oan, but he must take away his bayonets. It is the united voloe of the whole country, leaving out most of New England and some of the Western States. The Sooth asks for nothing more. When this is attained the Radical fight will be fun for the Demoorate. Instead of dividing the national Demooraoy, the Fraud will discover that be has disrupted his own, and the Republican organization will be the first to crumble to pieoes. Then Hayes oan do nothing without Dem ooratio support. The South will not care. Freed from her foes, governed by the offloera of her own ohoioe, she oan stand aloof and see tho Republican faotions fight and smilingly hold the balance of power. Thus she will virtually rule the oonntry, bat she will owe no thanks to Mr. Fraudulenoy Hayes. VICB-FBMIDENT WHEELER. Newark Dally Journal.] The Malone (N. Y.) Qatette, a psper published at ill. Wheeler's home, makes the very remarkable statement that not Wheeler washed bis hands onto has M entirely nf that Louisiana Commission humbug, oontrary to the reports hereto fore oinulated, but that “no man in the oonntry waa more surprised that Louis iana's vote was counted for Hayes than William A. Wheeler." The Gazette adds, with emphasis: “Me expeoted and pre dicted that the Electoral Commission would throw it out entirely. This state ment will not be disputed.” This statement, if true,puts Mr. Wheel er in the position of a half- hon—>, btlfe manly man. To be wholly honest, wholly manly, and altogether great, Mr. Wheeler sohold have proven his faith by his works —should have treated the aliunde eight as the Savior treated Satan when he tempted Him. Mr. Wheeler should have spurned the fraudulent Vioe Presidency. Such an act would have won for him the deserved applause of the American peo ple. It would have been quoted as tbe greatest aot of publio virtue and true heroism in the whole history of Ameriean politios. It would have made an everlast ing fame for William A. Wheeler. He would have taken at its flood the tide whioh leads on to fortune. As it is, hs took*the fraudulent .Vioe Presidency and must bear “the whips and scorns of time. ” The statement in the Malone paper puts him in asaner light than he has hereto fore shone. There ie some exeuse 'for a man who receives stolen goods believing them not to have been stolen. There is none for him who sins wilfully and delib erately. And there is no rest for such sinner. OLD LIKE WDIOS TO DAVE THE F1BST SHOW. Now Ihst the South Carolina question has been settled, and nampton duly in stalled as Governor of the State, it is said that the administration in its future deal ings with Southern men in their relation to federal offloes in the South will consid- the olaims first of those who have not been ident ified positively and exoluaively with the Demooratio party, other things being equal aa to competency aud fitness. Ilia friends of the President say that the. Demooratio party has reoeived, in his adoption of measures whioh allowed Hampton to enter upon the Governorship of South Carolina, all that the party eould hope to get at his hands, when the dis pute or matter at issue brought to him for settlement waa of a political charac ter. Hereafter, when there is to be a ohoioe between Bouthern native politi cians, he will, they say,make his selection from those who were identified with the Whig party.—N. Y. Herald. Tbe Southerners need not Ratter them, solves to any remarkable extent. Pre- oious few, if any, of them will ever get an office. What is meant by old Whigs in the South ie what the troo people call “men of doubtful associations.” Hun dreds may apply, but what few offloes are awarded outside Republicans will be given to those who have been and are the best fenoe riders, or have been trying to di vide the party for their own aggrandize ment. Tbe Hwslaeas Mitwalloa. Contrary to general expectation, the lumber of failures in the United States, for the first three months of the present year, show a alight increase over those of the corresponding quarter of 1876,though the amount of liabilities is aomewbat less.

Wm. M. Evarta oommenoed his speeoh by making tbe following reference to Samuel J. Til- den; Daring tho session of the Legislature for the year 1876, Governor Tilden, in a wise and thoughtful message, direct ing the attention of the members of the Legislature and the community at large to the grave mischief whioh prevailed in the municipal govern ment, both in the oonstitution and admin istration. Tbe Legislature readily res ponded to tbe calm and wise Maaoninf of Gov. Tilden, and readily empowers; the appointment by him of the oommis- sion to consider the subjeot and to frame some general scheme for the improve ment of munioipal government whioh should have the merit of stability, of ade quacy *nd of intelligence. In framing that oommittee the Governor selected men quite well known at least for one thing that they were greatly immersed in their own affairs; and when ho did me the honor to ask that I might be named as one of them, I found no right in my oc cupations to decline what he had so kind ly offered, and whioh all my colleagues, having equal demands upon their private attention, had accepted. We naturally felt an interest in the result of our labors. I have not heard whether entire or com plete the result of this oommission had satisfied the designs of tbe Governor in Mr. Tilden Bar Away Wltb. N. V. Herald, 8 ] Last evening a team attached to a olar- eoee in whioh was Samuel J. Tilden, ran away in East Thirty-fourth street, and Mr. Tilden had a narrow esoape as be chose the alternative of jumping out of. the vehiole. Mr. Tilden was out yesterday morning on horsebaok, and the fine weather tempted him at 4:30 o'olook to take a ride in his olareuee around the Park. The horses were Miller and Blaokstone, a famous spirited team, aud while starting for the drive Mr. Tilden noticed that one of them was a little restive. He told the coaohman Dennis to drive him slowly and quietly and just out of a walk. Mr. Tilden was alone in the olarenoe, and as the vehiole was going down Murray Hill Mr. Tilden notioed that the horses were going pretty fast and again spoke to the driver, telling him to go slowly. From some unaccountable reason the motion was aooolerated, and the driver, after a short distance, turned towards Madison avenue and then turned down Madison avenue, probably to get out of the crowd of vebioles. He next turned down into Thirty-fourth street, and as he waa passing the oorner too rapidly tbe carriage swung round, tbe driver went off tbe box and the reins were flung on tbe baoks of the horses, whioh started to run down the declivity towards Fourth avenue. Mr. Tilden saw the driver fall to the Bidewalk; and that tbs horses were unrestrained and the reins flying and that they were rush- at a id ing along at a furious rate. He had no choice but to await a catastrophe in tbe carriage or to try to get out, which was perhaps a little more rtoky than to stay»in, iut which on the whole he preferred; so he opened the door on the right hand side of tho vehicle and jumped out vhf “ while the horses were running off. Of coarse he eould not keep his feet, but he got up uninjured, with the exception of some slight bruises. He then ran af ter the driver, who had got up with his head badly out and seeming a good ? uaad. “ lent oonfused. Mr. Tilden got a baok nd and sent him home. Meantime the horseB had demolished tho olarenoe by running into a coach driven by Patrick S. Kelly, of No 676 Seoond avenue, throwing Kelly off and eonsiderably bruising him. Mr. Tilden went up to him as be was sitting on the sidewalk, got a wagon and sent him to the Twenty-ninth preoinot Station House, and arranged with a polioeman to provide him with a surgeon and to report the extent og his injuries. Mr. Tilden was soaroely hurt at all, and waa as well as usual in his library last eve ning. Within the past three years throe horses have fallen under him on pave ments and every time he escaped without the slighest injury.

I have always reguded her u a wom an of extraurdinuy nerve, cour age and perseveranoe. As soon u aba made her great success in the ‘Two Or phans,’ I did all in my power to persuade her to oreate a version of tha play in German, in which language she is very proficient, and oury it to Cincinnati, St. Louis, Milwaukee and other oitiea con taining a luge number of German inhabit anu. licit confident that in thqseoitiea she would make a complete success. After the terrible fire in Brooklyn, from whioh she so fiarrowly escaped, I notioed a great ohangein Misa Claxton. The dreadful soeno enaoted in her presence that night, and the details of the disaster u they were subseqnently carried to her, ahooked her nervous system to snob an extent that I am doubtful whether she will ever wholly recover from it. Indeed, she seems to hive a premonition that she ia to be burned up. All her friends hare tried, and are now trying to dislodge the idea from her mind, bnt in vain. I have heard her say, that “Fire and flame will always follow me, and my life will be yielded np in a tragedy more terrifio than any eyes have witnessed on the stage.” At the very instant tbe dootor pro nounced Misa Giaxton'a words, the wide doors of the hotel were flung open, and a newsboy rushed in with an extra annonno. ing tbe terrible news from St. Lonis, and Kata Cl»xton|a almost marvellous asMpe.

He succeeded, at the imminent risk of bis life, in throwing a rope from a ladder to a man in a window in a wing of the house, who throw it to the story above, where seven servant girls were huddled ia terror. The girls oeught the rope, and were thus enabled to draw a ladder to tbeir window, and by its aid eseaped from the burning ruin. One of the girls in descending tbe ladder had her night dross blown over her head, disclosing more of her anatomy than was consistent with modesty. She at ouoe olimed back into the window again, and did not oome down again until several of har companions had preoeeded her.
