Edinbugh, June 19.—The Seottman's London correspondent writes that the Earl of Derby and Marquis of Salisbury hold very opposite views regarding a Bosnian occupation of Constantinople. Lord Salisbury believes Prinoe Gortsoha- koff will not advise that the oity should be held for a long time. Lord Derby would at once inform Bussia that she will only march there at the risk of meeting British as well as Turkish troops.

A large army oorps is ready for immediate ser vice and transports can be obtained. TUBES DEFEATED IN THEIR SORTIE AT EARS. Mew York, June 19.—The Herald's cable specials say there is no longer any reason to doubt that the Turks have suf fared a aevere defeat at Kars. Every effort is beiug made by the authorities at Constantinople to conceal the truth in reference to the Asiatio campaign. Mnkh- tar Pasha had established a portion of hiB forces near the river Phaais,* between Kars and Erzeroum, with the objeot of covering his communications with the latter oity. This force had taken pre caution to erect earthworks, and oonsid ered themselves safe. On Thursday lat t the Buseiaos unexpectedly appeared in foroe and began a vigorous attaok. The Turks repulsed the attacking columns several times, only giving way when driven from their poeition by superior numbers. The battle continued till night fall, the advantage resting with the Rns' sian forces. Several redoubts had been captured and held. At daybreak the bat tle was renewed and continued during the day. The Turkish troops were driven from all their positions by the Russian assaults. Heavy losses were sustained by the Turks, who bear witness to obstinacy of defense. The loss of this position is very serious for Mubkta Pasha's army, as the Russian foroe now directly threaten his communications with Erzeroum. TURKISH CIRCULAR. A oironlar has been issued at Rutaohuk, ordering all newspaper correspondents to present their firmans (permits) within three days. The cause of this measure is alleged to be the disoovery of seven Rus sian spies within the Turkish lines. They were shot. RUSSIAN ACCOUNT.

Versailles, June 19.—Jules Ferry, one of the Deputies, answering the Ministry, ssid the Constitution provides for trial of the President, if he oommita high treason. Special to tha Enquirer-Sun. ] Versailles, June 19.—The Deputies' debate on the interpellation was resumed. The prinoipal speech was by Leon Re nault, former Prefeot of Polioe, who ad dressed the House in the name of the Left Centre sud all Conservatives who, on grounds of reason, bad rallied to the Republio. In vehement, but persuasive lscgusge, he demonstrated the impossi bility of turning backward and reatoring monarchy. The present Cabinet woqld ruin the Marshal aa Polignao had ruined Charles, snd.simply pave the way for the triumph of the Bonapartista. The Count DeCboiaeul then presented the following order of the day in behalf of the United Left: Whereas, The ministry formed May 17th, under the Presidency of the Duke DeBroglie was oalied to direction of pub lic affairs ooutrary to tha law of the ma jority whioh is the leading prinoiple of parliamentary government, and has ainoe assuming office avoided giving explana tions to the National Representatives. Whereas, It has upset an sdmioistra tion to ornsh universal suffrage by all the means at its disposal. Whereas, It reprp-euts merely a coali tion of monarchist, guided by inspirations from the olerioal party. Whereas, It has allowed attaoks on the National Representatives, and incite ments to violation of law to pass unpun iabed. Whereas, in all these grounds it im perils pesos end order and disturbs busi ness and ganeral interests. Therefore the Honse deoleres that the Ministry does not possess the confidence of the nation. When tha reading of the order was con cluded, there was muoh cheering. The Ministers quitted their seats and the oheer- iug was renewed. The Ministers returned, and M. Paris, Minister of Public Works, said tha Gov eminent was indifferent as to any order of the day the Chamber might adopt. The ooontry would soon pronounoe its dsois ion. “Yes,” exclaimed M. Gambetta, “ihe country will ohooae between us." Tbe order of the day was adopted by a vote of 363 against 133. GEORGIA. SHIPMENT OF PEACHES.

LOUISIANA DELEGATION AND OFFICERS—AT TORNEY-GENERAL THINKS THE FOUR PER CENTS MUST BE PAID IN GOLD—INSTRUC TIONS TO GEN. OBD ABOUT THE MEXICANS —IDAHO INDIAN TROUBLES CONFIRMED— BEECHER AND BATH. New York, Jana 19.—Jos. Seligmsn, banker and member of the eyndioate to plaoe American securities, for ten years hadanmmered with his family at tha Grand Union Hotel at Saratoga. Arriving aa usual, Beligman wu informed by the manager that Mr. Hilton had instructed him not to entertain Israelites. Mr. Seligtnan said : You mean to tell me, you will not en tertain Jewish people ?” Manager—“That ia our order, air." Seligman returned to New York, and wrote Hilton a bitter letter. Seligmau’s friends held a meeting to oonsider the affair. The chairman said the Jews of this oity and oountry could not afford to let this matter rest. A long disousaion followed as to what course should be pursued. The programme is to call a mass meeting of tbe Jewish residents of the oity at an early day, and also to invite a number of leading oitizeua, clergymen and others, and lay the faots before them, aud take snob measures u will, it ia believed, alter tbe present opinions of the proprietor of the Grand Union Hotel. Judge Hilton said to a reporter lut night that Mr. Seligman wu not ejeoted from tbe Grand Union Hotel. He in an ostentatious manner, it seems, demanded the best apartments. If Mr. Seligman bad oome to me personally, I would, per haps, have seen to hiB Booommodrtion, bat the management of the house had been placed absolutely in bands of Messrs. Claire and WilkenBon, beoause of their apeoial ability to take oare of so vast and valuable a property, and they had been instructed to oarefnily discrimi nate as to their gnestB. Mr. Seligman fell nnder this discrimination. Judge Hilton does not consider Mr. Jos. Selig man a Hebrew, and says Mr. Seligman ia a Jew in the trade sense of the word, and the class of jews he represents, while they are not forbidden to oome to tbe Grand Union, they are not enoouraged to oome. The proprietors have good discrimina tion. Judge Hilton said the honse of A. T. Stewart formerly did a great deal of its foreign banking business Through Selig mau’s firm, and nearly ail of their foreign bills of exohange were pnrohosed there, but finding good aud sufficient reason for discontinuing its patronage, it transferred it to other honaes. Ever ainoe this, Mr. Seligman has been spoiling for a fight with Stewart A Co. Mr. Seligman, Judge Hilton said, be longs to s olass of not Hebrews bat Jews. It is the fsalt of this olass of Jews them selves, that they are discriminated against. Families like tbe Hendrioks and Nathans are weloome everywhere, while these Jews, not Hebrews, of whom Joseph Se ligman iB a representative are not wanted anywhere. CUBA. BOTH PARTIES WILLING TREAT. EXHAUSTED TREASURY AND LANGUID PROS TKATE CONDITION. Havana June 18, Via Key West, Jnne 10.—While there appears to be no indi cations of unity of purpose among the so-oalied Spanish party, there sre indioa tions among individuals that they would gladly make peace with the Insurgents upon almost any terms if it were not for Spanish pride, as negotiations must surely result to the disadvantage of the Span iards. Tbe Insurgents are not averse to negotiating for peaoe providing antono my with snffioient foreign guarantee be oonoeded. Sensible Onbsns and some Spaniards say they know tbe dangers sur rouuding tbe entire independence and would prefer annexation to the United States. When Martinez Campos arrived eight months ago with 30,000 men the paoification of the Island was again promised st the end of tbe winter campaign, bat the results show that the advantages gained were over- balaneed by tbe disadvantages. The state of tbe island ia not better than it was last year at tbe same season, and tbe insurrection ia as strong as ever, The only visible advantage gaine£ daring the whole winter oampaign was less burn ing of plantations. The treasury of the island ia exhansted. Tbe daily publica tion of the situation of tbe treasury suspended. Last year st this data gold stood at 215. It now stands 225.

Tbe es sential element of good faith in preserving the equality in veins between the coin age in which tbe Government reoeiveg and that in whioh it pays these bonds will be sacredly observed by tbe Govern ment and tbe people of tbe United States, whatever may be the system of eoinage, whioh tbe general polioy of the nation may at any time adopt. San Fbanciboo, June 19.—Details of the Indian outbreak in Idaho and Oregon show that the Indiana had possession of Oamss Prarle, exoept the town of Idaho, whioh they threaten. Col.

THE SOCIAL SENSATION IN LOUISVILLE RE- FORE REFERRED TO IN THE DISPATCHES — A DAUGHTER DEFRAUDS ' HER MOTHER USING THE NAMES OF TWO DISTINGUI-HED MEN. Louisville, Ky., June 13.—Many sad circumstances were to-day developed as to the aubdned sensation alluded to in a speoial dispatch to tbe World of Sunday relative to the complicity of a Kentuoky lady of high family in tbe forgery of an ex-United Statea Senator's name to notes for heavy amounts. Tbe lady referred to ia Mrs. T. T. Hawkins, daughter ot the late Oolouol Weir, of Lexington. After her fatber'a death her mother was mar ried to tho late Geo. W. Meriwether, who in hia life wbb a prominent banker of this oity. Mrs. Hawkins’ husband baa been for some years a confirmed invalid, but in tbe brave deya of yore was noted in the Sooth as the beat arbiter of matters of honor. Iu this oapaoity I believe he assisted in the famous and nnhappily fatal duel between John Thompson Gray and Pope twenty years ago, and in other affairs of a similar nature. It is said of him, however, that through his efforts more personal difficulties were amioably arranged than there were dnels fonght in tbe South during all the time that he was active in suoh affairs. He is muoh respected in this community. Mrs. Hawkins’ father left no considerable prop erty, but her step-father died possessed of a vory large estate, snffioient to support the immediate family m good style, Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins liviug with Mrs. Meriweth- Fatal Railroad Accident. Special lo Enquirer-Sun.] Columbus Junction, Ia., Jnno 19.—Tbe engine, baggage and two passenger oars of tbe east bound mail train, fell twenty five feet into a oreek. The sleeper stopped with s third of its length pro jecting over the ohasm. Several were fatally hurt. Tha Fishery Case. Montreal, Jans 19.—The British case is filed before tbe Fishery Commission. It oonsists of s most voluminous history of the fishery difficulties ainoe the Amer iosn revolution and olaims twelve million dollars damages on the part of Ihe Do minion and $280,000 for New Foundland for twelve years, six of whioh have elapsed. Fire. Mrs. Meriwether is now a gray-haired lady of sixty, and several years sinae was approsohed by her daughter with the re quest for a sum of money with whioh to engage in tobaoco speculations. She stated that au agreement bad been made between herself, ex- United States Senator Stevenson, of this State; George H. Pen dleton, of Ohio, and Colons! James Tay lor and Henry Timberlake, wealthy citi zens of Newport, Ky. She represented snoeess in due time to be oertain and tbe profits to be enormons. Mrs. Meriwether ndvanoed money to Mrs. Hawkins at in tervals until the latter had secured $40,- 000, tbe mother going so far as to yield up her inaome for three years. Ten thousand dollars of Ibis sum was in Uni ted States bonds. Mrs. Hawkins wsb known to have a personal aoquaintauoe with the gentlemen mentioned, and her mother hud suoh implioit confidence in her daughter that suspioiou never suggested investigations. Daring the past winter, however, Mra. Meri wether becoming pressed for money in sisted on receiving her share of tbe pro ceed* of the apeonlation whioh the daugh ter had declared most snooessfal, having all along substantiated her declarations by the production of letters from other mem bers of tbe Syndioate. Then it appeared that the time came when the daughter, in order to conoeal her transactions, began s bold and canning system of devioes to ward off exposure. In response to her mother’s solioitationa Mrs. Hawkins in formed her that the book-keeper .of tho Syudioate bad proved reoreaut and had fled the oountry with tbe profits of tbo speculation. She said the book-keeper’s father was a wealthy Boston uierahant, who, in order to save the reputation of the family,would restore tbe stolen money provided time was given him. The Syndi cate she said, had agreed to this. This story was, until a few weeks ago, snooessful iu quieting the mother’s appre hensions. Her anxiety, however, reas serting itself, Ihe daughter was compelled to make another move. One day she went to Mrs. Meriwether's, aud with feigned rejoining informed ' her that in order to sutiafy Mrs. liuwkin’s demand for seourity her partners in tbe specula tion had consented to make their notea for her share. These notes Mrs. Mawk- ins exhibited, saying they were brought her by aa unknown messenger. The pa jamas Taylor per bore the signature of and is said to have represented $232,000, divided in four notes—two held by daugh ter and two by mother, each holding notes in tbe sum of $90,000 and $26,000. Then Mrs. Hawkins showed a sublimity of baldness which perhaps, gives added reason to the beliof in her in sanity. She aooompanied her mother to tbo Louisville Savings Bank and Mrs. Meriwether presented her notes for oolleo- tion. Tbo cashier, Mr. J. II. Uhorer, who, iu the life of Mrs. Meriwether's hus band, bud been engaged in business with him, looked carefully at tbe notes and at once, perceived some irregularity in them. He refused to cash them and oommuni- oated with Colonel Taylor regarding the matter. At this crisis oame exposure. Mr. Khorer received undoubted evidence Burlington, Ia., June 19.—A fire oe- that Mrs. Hawkins had most woefully de- onrred from lightning at Orient City, | oeiv «‘ 1 *>“ molhor - Mr. Taylor, Gover nor Stevenson, Mr. Pendleton and Mr. Timberlake severally disclaimed any oon- neolion whatever with Mrs. Hawkins in ly considered to be the result of an aoci- dent. What steps will be taken in the hapleas affair are yet to be deoided.bat the details were obtained for pnblioation to-day and will be generally printed to-morrow. Mrs. Meriwether is almost ruined, hav ing contracted debts while giving np her inoome to her daughter. To-morrow everybody in Kentneky will be talking of the matter, whioh follows olosely on the Taylor defalcation in the Bine Grass region. So far it appeBrs that no one will lose any money outside the immediate members of the family, who aro among the most estimable people in Louisville’s best sooiety. Pnblio sympathy goes warm ly ant to them in their affliction. Mrs. Hawkins lived in by no means extravagant style, although it is said that she reokleBaly spent money on trivial things for which she oould have no possi ble nse. This, it is said, was the oase daring her Centennial trip. The matter of her alleged apeonlation in tobaooo and its supposed great profits was an open seoret among her friends, and it is singn- lar that it should not before have oome to the ears of tbe gentlemen who were inter ested with her. It is altogether the sad dest soaial oconrrenceof the kind that has ever been brought into pnblio attention in this State. Mexico's Revolnslona and Chnnfes of aovcrnmenl. 1821.

In foot, yon oan find anything wanted in tbe Dry Goods line, oheaper than else where, at M. Joseph's, eodtf 89 Broadwtraat. any speculation in whioh she might have been engaged. Messrs. Henning and Speed, trustees of Mrs. Meriwether’s es tate, had not been made awaro of Mrs. Meriwether's delusion in her danghter'a affairs, so quietly had the matter pro gressed. They, together with Mr. Rhorer made an investigation, and oould find no trace us to where the money Mrs. Haw- kina had borrowed from ber mother bad gone. They informed tbe latter of their convictions as to the daughter’s breaok of oonfidenee, but she would not ooinoido in their view of the ease. The records of the Adams Express Company were rigidly examined, but nothing was learned from them. What Mrs. Hawkins oould have done with Ihe $40,000 is as yet a mystery. Messrs. Henning, Speed and Rhorer, who are among tbe iirHt citizens here, as sert that Messrs. Stevenson, Pendleton and others, never had the slightest com plicity in Mrs. Hawkins' sohemas. Mem bers of the Meriwether household state that Mrs. Hawkins is liable to insane freaks. Insanity is said to be hereditary io her branch of tho family, in proof of whioh it is asserted that Mrs. Hawkins some time ago applied to the Chaneelior and Mayor for information as to wbat she should do if she sbonld wish to go to tbe Lunatic Asylum. Mrs. Hawkins is strong in declarations that the money has been spent in the Syndioate speculations. Last summer she obtaiued $500 from the Lou isville Bunking Company on a postal oard order from Governor Stevenson, with the members of whose family the Meriweth ers are very intimate. With this money she weot to the Centennial, but while ab sent the draft was sent to Mr. Stevenson, but protested, tbe latter saying that be bad given Mrs. Hawkins no authority to use bia name. On a threat of arrest for obtaining money under false pretenses, Mrs. Hawkins refunded, the faol, howev er, not being made known to ber family or friends. Several years ago Mra. Hawk ins administered an overdose of mediotue to two of ber children, from whioh they died, the aad ooonrranoe being nniveraal- The American People.
