Special to Enquirer-Sun-] Marietta, Sept. 7.—After the address of welcome by Mayor Palmer, Hayes stepped forward and was greeted with great cheers and waving of handkerchiefs. He said: . Ladies, fellow citizens and survivors of the great war—I wish that £ was prepared to speak suitably upon this oooasion. My friend, Mayor Pairnei^ in his address introducing me, said that in every speech made at this great National Reunion, en» oouragement has been given to that spirit of fraternity which it is the desire of those associated with me in the Administration to do something during our term of ser vice to advance. We do not, in meeting the people, propose to discuss any of the great party questions which divide the people who honor us with their attention. [Oheers.] We leave these to be discussed before the people by those who may be appointed by the respective parties to carry on these debates; but we do feel that if, in visiting our fellow citizens in different (States, we can add anything to strengthen the sentiment alluded to by the Mayor, it is right and proper that we should do it. [Applause ] All who are familiar with the history of our country know that a hundred years ago there was no North or South. The fathers were one throughout the whole country, Washington and Jefferson were side by side with Franklin and Adams. Daniel Morgan and his Virginians march ed from Virginia to Boston. They were at Saratoga, and Nathaniel Greene and his Continentals were in the Carolines. The whole country belonged to the fathers. It is to that state of harmony, of fraternaf friendship that we desire our country to return. [A voice, good for you and cheers.] We are for the Union as it is. [Cheers.] We are for the Constitution as itis. [Cheers.] With all its’amsndments. [A voice, “thata it.” Great cheers.] We want the oitizens of every State to feel at home in every other State. [Amen and cheers.] If a oitizen of Vermont travels to Georgia or Texas for business or pleasure, we want him to feel at home in these States. [Cheers.] If a oitizen of Texas or Georgia travels North we want that citizen to feel at home everywhere throughout the Union. Now my friends, I do not propose to detain you. I had made a much longer apeeoh already than I intended when I entered your town, but you understand our purpose. We make mistakes in method, mis- takes in measores, but the sentiment we would encourage is a sentiment of nationality thorooghout the Union. [Ap plause.] We all regard the service of that four years war. We regard that period of four years as the most interesting of our lives. We fought through them, those of us who were in the Union Army fought as we believed to make this for ever hereafter a united people, forever hereafter a free people, and we rejoice to-day to believe that those who were against us in that struggle now are with us in both of these questions, and will forever remain with us on both of these questions. [Cheers, loud and long.] Now my friends you will desire to hear from some of those who are‘associated with me in the Government. Two mem bers of the Cabinet are here, Postmaster General Judge Key, of Tennessee, and General Devens, Attorney General. They fought on opposite sides during these four years, but to-day they are prepared to fight, if need be, one the same side. [Great cheers.] And now I will introduce to you Judge Key. I am sure he is an able man. I am sure he is an honest man. I am sure he is a patriotic man [Cheers.] JUDGE KEY spoke as follows: Fellow-citizens—I ap pear before yon under peculiar circum stances. You have assembled here recite the victories which you have won in former days, to recount the triumph’ ant results which you achieved. I appear before you as one of the soldiery from whom your victories were won, your tri umphs were achieved. But, my friend , the cordiality with which I have been re ceived makes me forget that we have ever been enemies, and I assure you that I would muoh rather meet you as I met you here to-day, as friends, than in the conflict of arms, as you have been met heretofore. [Applause.] My friends, the flag I fought for four years has diBap< peared from the face of the earth. The government I attempted with my com peers to establish is no more. Wo have but one flag, and that floats over every foot of our territory. We have bat one Constitution, and that is the Constitution as it is. [Cheers.] Our quarrel, my friends, was inherited. (Slave ry was established by our fathers. It was established by the men of the North as well as of the South. It was a relic of a former age. As the ages progressed, as the country progressed the free Sta’es became profoundly impressed with the idea that slavery was wrong, that it was a great national crime, that it was the sin of the age, that it was a sin against heav- en and liberty [a voice—*‘and it was.”J The people of the South had been educated under diffrente ideas. Their statesmen, upon their plat forms, defended,* and their ministers, before the holy altars, taught the people that it was right, and the people of the Boutbern States believed it was right. A conflict, from time to time—a conflict of opinion—grew upon bad adjustments. We had the Missouri compromise, the compromise of 1850, but yet it would not suit. At last free ideas so far prevailed that Lincoln was eleoted to the Presiden cy of the United States. Mr. Key proceeded in the same strain at great length. CALIFORNIA. ASSEMBLY DEMOCRATIC BY SS MAJORITY. SENATOR SARGENT MUST GIVE PLACE TO A ‘DEMOCRAT. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] San Franoisoo, September 7.—Latest election returns indicate that the Demo* crats have elected 10 Senators and 57 Assemblymen, and the Republicans 10 Senators and 23 Assemblymen, including hold overs.

Washington, Sept., 7.—Sargent’s den feat as United States Senator is received with very great patience by the oitizens of the District of Columbia. THE TURKO RUSSIAN WAR. CZAR MOVES NEARER THE FRONT. ME HE MET ALI FLANKS THE RUS SIANS. Speculations Regarding the Future WASHINGTON. NEGRO ORATORS DON T MAKE VOTES IN REPUBLICAN STATES. Washington, Sept. 7.—The President has advised Prof. Langston that political speeches in Ohio are incompatible with his position as Minister to Hayti. It is considered that this striot construction of the President’s order is in accordance with the wishes of the Republican man agers of the Ohio elections, as it has been found the colored orators do not make Republican votes in Northern States. PRESIDENTIAL PARTY. The Presidential party made a safe start last night. It consists of Hayes, McCrary, Devens and Key, besides the President’s family. CABINET ON THE OOLLEOTORSHIPS. The Cabinet have taken the papers in the Chicago oollectorship case, Jones vs. Smith. The decision is reserved. personals. R. H. Mason will be appointed serveyor of Montana. Evarts joins the Presidential party at Cincinnati on the 15th. McCrary has gone to Fortress Monroe instead of with the Presidential party, which he will join at Dayton. A sister of Senator Conkling has not been dropped from the pay roll of the New York Custom House. The Postoffice Department has advices that Senator Morton himself, remarked to-day that he wa9 feeling better. Rx-Senutor Owens of South Caro lina* Baltimore, M. D., September, 7.— Clerk Howard of the Baltimore House, holds Owens’ effeots, including $42,000 in money and securities subjeot to ads verse claims from Owens heirs and the State of South Carolina.

Yellow Fever at Fernandina, Fla Savannah, September 6.—A dispatch from the health officer of Fernandina, Fia., to the health officer of this city, acknowledges that the sickness in that city is yellow fever. All vessels and trains from that city will be quarantined. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] Washington, Sept. 7.—The Pootofflce Department has received letters from a number of the principal newspapers re- fusing to publish advertisements at the rates allowed by law.

Special to the Enqif&tr-Sun.] Hartford, September 7.—Rev. Hyman A. Welder, aged 55, for 28 years mission ary of the Amerioan Board, is dead. R. Cloy Crawford Daman Paulin. Baltimore, September G.— Col. R. Clay Crawford, said to be identified as Osman Pasha, lived in Chestertown, Kentucky, in 18G7, and published a paper there. He left suddenly about 1873. Many leaders in the Egyptian service write home of an American officer, known as Osman Bey in the army of the Khedive, and the person al description tallies with that officer, who was tall, with a reckless bearing. Tile Popo’ii Henltli. London, September 7.—A Reuter dis patch, dated at Rome to-day, says the Pope last evening had a slight attack of weakness, but with no alarming symp toms. H6 rose late this morning and worked in bis study, but be is still weak. Storm in nurlha’a Vineyard. Martha’s Vineyard, Mass., September 7.—A terrible northeast storm began here last night, and still continues. The surf is breaking over both Highland and Oak Bluff wharves. Vessels passing up the sound are running under bare poles. Working Nen'a Candidate. Washington, September, 7.—The working men of Baltimore, have nomi nated a thriving blacksmith, for May- Senator Horton. New York, Sept. 7.—A, Richmond, Ind., dispatch to the Herald says Senator Morton is no better, if, indeed, be is not jrorse than he was a week ago. Social Science Convention. Saratoga, N. Y., September 7.—The Social Science Convention at Saratoga discussed the South last night at great length. The views of the orators were so divergent that, pending their converg ence, it is hoped the Southern people will have settled their own affairs in their own way. Sentences of Railroad Strikers. Special to Enquirer-Sun. 1 Harrisburg, Sept. 7.—The railroad rioters convicted here last week were sentenced to the county jail, ranging from two to eight months, and fines from fl20 to $500. ANDRASSY AND BISMARCK. Vienna, Sept. 7.—Andrassy and Bis* marok will meet Sept. 12th or 15th, at Salisbury. It is maintained in ministerial circles that the meeting will be a mere aot of courtesy. RU88IAN HEADQUARTERS MOVED. London, Sept. 7.—The Times' Vienna correspondent says the news is received that the Russian headquarters have been moved from Gorny Studen to Bulgareni. This may indicate either an advanoe in the direction of Plevna or retreat from the neighborhood of Jantra Line. RERVIA POVERTY STRICKEN. The Times' Vienna correspondent tele graphs : In spite of Russian subsidies hitherto reoeived, Servia can less afford to assemble a considerable portion of her male population and maintain them than she oonld last year. SEBASTOPOL DEFENSIVE. Reports from Hobart Pasha to th Porte represent the new fortifications of Sebas topol are strong enough even, without the addition of torpedoes in the harbor to destroy the finest fleet afloat, whioh wonld venture to attaok them. LOVATS SURPRISED. The Times' correspondent who was present at the oapture of Lovatz estimates the actual Russian attacking force at 22,- 000 with one division in reserve. The oapture seems to have been effected part ly by surprise. ASIA—RUSSIANS DEFEATED. A dispatch to the Times, dated Erze- roum, September 4th, says the battle of Kizeletezk, whioh resulted in the Rus sians being completely driven from their position at Kedalar cost the Turks 430 in killed and 1,400 wounded. Kizeletezke Hill was held by five battalions of Rus sian infantry. The remainder had with drawn to Kardeok on the 23d of Angust. There was an attack at 2 a. m. on the 24th by two divisions under Ali Pasha and Mabamed Bey. They were both wounded. The Russians, outnumbered by ten to one, fought bravely, but were driven off from their main lines. They came np about 9 o’oloek and made three unsuo* oessf ul attempts to carry the Hill by storm, These were most gallantly repulsed by the Turks, who finally remained masters of the field and have now strongly en* trenohed on Kizeletezke Hill. TURKISH WOUNDED. London, Sept. 7.—A special from Con stantinople by way of Syra to the Times says three thousand wounded from Sulei man Pasha’s army reaohed Adrianople. English doctors report 4,000 more at Kazanleke, and that at Sohipka, they lie all over the steep hillsides. The Turkish Badgad army of 35,000 men is going to Nish. GREECE. Uneasiness at Constantinople about the attitude of Greece has subsided, but there is still great distrust of Servia. MORE PAPER. A further issue of six million piastres of paper money has been determined on. ATTACK ON PLEVNA EIPEOTED. London, Sept. 7.—The oorrespondent of the TimeSy after the oapture of Lovatz by the Russians, which he describes, finds himself at Hovredin, whence he telegraphs all messages between here and Lovatz: We, accompanied by an escort of cavalry against Bashi Bazouks, are in this interesting country. Prince Charles, of Roumania, is here in command of the Russian line facing Plevna, and two di visions of the Roumanian troops here. The Turks showed themselves yesterday afternoon, but retired into their works before Plevna without doing anything. We are expeoting the olose of the Plevna business very soon, and a Turkish Sedan as the result. a [Note.—This seems to dispose of the rumors of an attack on Plevna whioh were current on Monday.] CZAR MOVES NEARER THE FRONT. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] London, Sept. 7.—The Times in sum marizing the news of the day makes the following comment on Bulgarian posi tions. Imperial headquarters moved from Studen forty miles from Plevna to Bulga- reui, twenty miles nearer, and all appa- rently is prepared for a crushing attaok on Osman Pasha’s main army but there may be other reasons not so favorable to the Russians for the headquarters of the Czar being transferred from the vioinity of Berlin to the valley of the Osma. MEHKMET ALI FLANKS THE RUSSIANS. A report comes from Constantinople that the army of Mehemet Ali has been recently making a flank march to the north, and it is now said the aotion re ported yesterday at Kadikoi was fought by the main army, and not by the garri son of Rustcbuk. Mebemet Ali is said to have changed his base of operations from Eski Djnna and Ostnar Bazar to Rust- chuk, pushed back some weak Russian forces over the Lorn, and established his advance guard at Obertini, on the road from Rustcbuk to Biela, eight miles from the latter plaoe. If this be true it an nounces a most important and masterly movement of Mehemet Ali. It would appear, however, that this report should be accepted with caution. FREE TRADERS* CONFERENCE. THE DEPRESSION OF TKtADE IN THIS COUNTRY AND THE REMEDY. Saratoga, September 7.—The confer ence of free traders met aud was called to order by Nathan Appleton, of Boston. The provisional chairman said this was an anspioious time. He hoped this meeting would result in the organization of a free trade league. Pratt, of New York, and Samuel L. Powers, of Boston, were appointed secre taries. David Dudley Field, Park God win aud Horace White, were appointed a. oommittee on resolutions. They reported the following : Resolved, That the present depression of industrial, commercial aud flnauciul interests aro largely due to our inability, under the present laws, to dispose of the surplus products of our industrial pur suits, which other countries want, and whioh, but for the restriction and inju dicious legislation of the United Statos, would, to a groat extent, produoo aud sell better and cheaper than any other nation. 2d. Resolved, That this goneral depres sion has been caused mostly by the erro neous financial and commercial policy pro posed by the Federal Government since the war, that it is necossary to buy in order to sell and that it is utterly impossi ble for us to dispose of the surplus of own industry to other nations. 3d. Resolved, That by imposing taxes for purposes other than revenue, and by preventing ns from oheaply building and advantageously buying shipB, our shipping whioh had beoome the second in the world, was fast becoming the first, has been almost ewept from the sea. 4th. Resolved, That in view of the faot that large interests have grown up under the erroneous fisoal policy whioh the United States have maintained during a period of sixteen years, duo regard must be paid to the security and welfare of these goods, but seeing them prostrate in common with others, we are persuaded that if pro tection has ever done anything for them, it has done all it can, and, that they no leas than others, need for their revival and healthy growth, a thorough revision of the existing traffics. 5th. Resolved, That as one of the means towards the revival of oommerco and general prosperity, we ask oonourrently with reformed legislation, and a thorough revision of our commercial treaties with foreign Governments. Wo ask, also, the negotiation of treaties of oommerce with countries, such as France and Spain, with whioh we have no agreement. The resolves were passed. The committee consists of Nathan Ap pleton, Wm. Donn, Boston; Marshal Stokes, F. O. French, W. R. Sperny, New York ; W. J. ltiddlo, Philadelphia ; A. fi. Mason, Ohioago; G. A. Trenholm, Charleston; and Charles Nordhoff, Now Jersey. The conference then adjourned. FRANCE. PREPARATIONS FOR THEIRS’ FUNERAL. Special to Enquirer-Sun.J Paris, Sept. 7.—The proprietors of the prinoipal shops in this city give notice that their establishments will be closed Saturday, the day being regarded as one of national mourning. The evening papers publish arrange ments for the funeral procession, and say, in conclusion, that the patriotism of every oitizen is relied upon for the preservation of order. The Liberte says the troops will be massed along the whole route. Detachments will also accompany the procession and bivouac behind the cemetery of Pero La Chaise. M. M. Grevy, Jules Sirqon and other eminent men will speak at the grave. Price of a Conntcr Tom BalUrd, tbo famous counterfeiter, who is now serving the third year of his thirty years’ term at Albany, has renewod the offer he made in 1875 without its re ceiving any attention from Secretary Bristow, lie proposed to reveal to the Government without promise of reward or release, unless it should bo voluntarily offered him after tosting its process, u secret which would render counterfeiting impossible. The greatest secret, Ballard says, in the making of onr present popor money is the weaving in of the blue and red fibres; but this kind of paper is now too easily made by hand. His remedy is a machine, which wonld cost $30,000, and which would make paper of so superior a quality that it could not be imitated by band. At present when the ink is washed from the face and back of a $1,000 bill, it does not differ in appearance from u $1 bill. Bal lard's idea is to have numerous designs worked in, in place of the red ink, and in place of the blue localized fibre to insert a line or stripe of stars of a peculiar metalic substance nnd in the centre of eaoh star to insert in miniye figures the denomination of tbo note, so that in case the ink is erased, or the note reduced to pulp even, its value could still bo told. All these secrets, together with one in re lation to engraving, which ho says will excel anything now known in lithography, Ballard offers the Government if it will accept them. He also promises to make a quantity of the paper without cost to the Government to experiment upon. Steamer Burned. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] Ottawa, Sept. 7.—The steamer Queen, I of the Ottawa Navigation Company, was burned. Loss is heavy. How it la Done.

The moon was shining into the sonth windows of the White House when Mr. Hayes got up from his bed in order to look at the olook. It was nearly three in the morning, aud he had not yet slept. The bed was comfortable enough but what long, dreary hours since eleven! “God bless me,” said Mr. Hayes, pass ing his hand wearily over his forehead. “I used to sleep like a top at Columbus.” He sat down in a chair and tried to think of his approaching journey through the Southern States, aud of the speeches to be made along the way. He would take Schurz along this time, bnt not Key. It would not be poiitioto take Key. Key’s peouliar humor would not be appreciated m Tennessee and in Virginia. In intro ducing Schurz to audiences in the South ern Statos, he would Hpeak of him as a man who bad fought on the wroug side at Gettysburg and elsewhere, but who had soon the error of his ways, and was now prepared to acknowledge his mistake in the presence of his ex Confederate breth ren. I will quote Scripture, thought Mr. Hayes, when I introduce Schurz, and I will say—. But his mind was not in trim for continuous thinking. It wan« derod back to Evarts and the Green Mountains, and to Stoughton, and to Judge Jerry Black, and then to the un welcome memory of the Electoral Corns mission. And the olook on the mantel, its rapid pendulum strokes oppressively loud in the perfect stillness of the night. Eight-to-sev-on, Eight-to-sev-en, Eight- to sev'-en, Eight-to-sev-en, Eight*to-sev en. Try as he did, his ears could make it say nothing else, Mr. Hayes went to a window, drew the curtain, and looked up at the broad face of the moon. For tne first time in his life he noticed that the moon’s face bore a weird likeness to the face of Gen. But ler. As he remarked this strange re semblance with amazement, the outer corners of the eyes seemed to draw them selves still farther down, and the mouth lines to take on an expression of sardonic glee, as if the face said plainly, “Con gress meets on the 15th of October, Mr. Huyes, and l shall be there." He was turning away disgusted from a spectacle that afforded him no satisfac tion, when he was startled by a deep, ringing voice, apparently olose to bis ear, uttering with solemn emphasis this word of reproach : “Fraud!” Aud again, almost before ho could re cover his suspended breath: “Fraud!” “Nonsense,” thought Mr. Hayes, “my nerves are getting the better of my senses. I urn a ” “Fraud 1” said the voice for the third and iaHt time. It was only the bell of a church clock, striking the hour, but if it had been the voice of doom pronouncing judgment, its effect upon Mr. Hayes’ ears couid not have been more terrifying. He left the window and began to walk the floor, keeping time, unconsciously, with the monotonous Eight to-sev-en of the mantel olook, and drawiug the palm of his hand to and fro across bis forehead, a gesture that had become habitual with him of late. In this restless mood Mr. Hayes passed out of the apartment consecrated to a deity who refused to bless his pillow, and paced the long corridor for a time. The door of the Executive room where he aud his predecessors in tUb White Uonso have been accustomed to meet their counsel lors, was ajar. He pushed it open and entered. It was not the first time that he had visited the apartment at this hour. He unlocked a cabinet, and bis hand groped about in the darkness until it had found a wine glass and a small vial. “It will give me sleep,” said Mr. Hayes to himself. “The dreams are bad enough, but not so bad as wakefnluess.” The drowsiness of the brown liquid came over him as he sat in the great easy chair at the head of the long table. It was hardly sleep, for he was conscious of the objects surrounding him, conscious of the moonlight, nnd conscious of his own acute wretchedness. While Mr. Hayes sat in the easy chair, waiting for the laudanum to close his heavy eyelids, an astonishing thing hap pened. The door of the Executive room swung on its hinges, ana a procession of dim figures entered, marching gravely two by two. A dozen, fourteen, aixtoeu be counted, and last of all came one aloue, taller, graver, and more noble in form and carriage tban any of the rest. Mr. Hayes started up from bis chair to question his dim visitors rather than to welcome them. But they paid no atten tion to him or his movements, and he shrunk back into a corner of the room uunoticed. Homo of the strauge figures souted themselves around the table. Oth ers stood in groups, conversing in low, earnest toues. lie who had entered last took the chair whioh Mr. Hayes had occu pied. Just then the moon came out from behind a olond, and by the better light Mr. Hayes saw that ho was in the preseuoo of the Presidents of tho United Statos. “Since wo wore here last,” said a court ly old gentleman with a big head and broad forehead and stout legs in knee brooches—“since wo wore hero last there has been perpetrated in the name of Gov ernment a crime so atrocious that I am unable to liud words to express my amaze ment and indignation. Geutlemen, per haps my tongue is sometimes o’erhasty to condemn, but when my blood boils it were perfect folly for me to attempt to restrain utterance,” and tho speaker brought down his heavy oaue with a ve- homeuco that shook the room and caused Mr. Ilnyes to shrink closer into the shad ow that sheltered him. “Right, father, right!” exolaimed a rather pompons personago who Htood a little apart from the others. “Made vir- tute, O parens libertatis. You may well say that! There never yet was one of our lino that could condone a crime or palliate a fraud, and I hope to heaven there never will he such to dishonor the name of Ad ams.” “I came into this mansion,” continued the old gentleman, “in the year 1800. 1 was the first President of the United States to occupy it. Nearly every four years since I havo revisited tho homo of tho Chief Magistrates, either in flesh or as I now come, and always with geuor- ous confidence in tho honesty of purpose of its occupants, howsoever I might ques tion the wisdom of his administrative measures. Nearly every four years, I Hay, for I must except the unfortunate period duriug which 1 was on terms of non intercourse with Jefferson here—the old quarrel happily long since recompiled, is it uot so, your Excellency ?” “Long since forgotten, John Adams," replied ho who was addressed; “but vex mo not with “your Excellencies. ’ I am pluiu Tom Jefferson, and I bold that in a true democracy a man is no more tban a man, though he be President, and fine phrases and obsequious address can add uothiug to the dignity of the office. Let him borrow titles who lacks tho sole title a President should claim—the title con ferred by the honest vote of the several Common wealths. ” “I am a rough fellow,” said another, a stout gentleman with an awkward man ner, but a good humored face and keen eyes, that snapped fire as he spoke, “and not handy in turning sentences or speech ifying; bnt d -n me if it isn’t an out rage that a knave should find shelter un der the root that has oovered good sold iers and honest gentlemen for nigh a cen tury.” “Aye, old Rongh and Ready,” said sim ple, bine-eyed James Monroe, “a knave, there’s no use of denying it. Forgery, fraud, and the robbery of priceless rights, to get to this White House; this oanuot be forgiven, and must not bo forgotten— that’s tho Monroe doctrine.” “And the bands that take tho prize are as blaok as the hands that do tbe oriraes,” put in a venerable figure dressed in sable, with thin gray hair carefully powdered; “eh Jojm Quincy ?” “Qni faoit per allum, facit per so,” promptly suggested the erudite President to wh 111 Madison bad appealed. But what cau be done about it?” in quired Buchanan, coming forward to tho table and poking his pear-shaped head over the shonlders of James Polk aud Andy Johnson. “It seems to me that we are in a position to remonstrate, but not to coeroe.” Do about it ?” shouted an irascible old gentleman jumping from bis chair and running his bony fingers through a head of bristling hair. “We cau cut off this false-hearted knave’s ears. By the Eter nal, it ought to be done, and I’m the man to do it! ” Mr. Hayes had never trembled as he trembled now befoce the honest iudigna u tion of bis stern old chieftain. For a moment be quite forgot his forehead in anxiety about his oars, lie rushed for the door, his two bauds pressed close over the appendages whioh Andrew Jaokson had threatened. No one stop ped him; no one heeded him. Tho first fraudulent President of tho United States passed at a coward’s pace from out the presence of his seventeen honestly elected predecessors. In the faces of ail he had read oontempt. Iu the faces of some ho bad seen anger. In the grave faces of Washington and Abraham Lin coln be saw no anger, but deep sorrov; and profound apprehension for the fu * turo of the Government which one had established and the other saved. When Mr. Hayes, haggard and still trembling, found himself in the corridor, the sunlight was pouring in from tho oast. This gavo him courage to look back into the room from whioh ho had fled, but the room was empty.—N. T. Sun. Napoleon I. on Riumln. From the Boston Journal.] Now that the Turoo-Russian war is rag ing and all eyes are turned to Constanti nople, the bone of contention of Europe, it may be of interest to quote an opinion given by NapoleoD, at St. Helena, in 1817, to bin surgeon, Barry O’Meara. Tho fol - lowing extract may be found in the sec ond volume, fifty-first and fifty second pages, of a work written by Mr. O’Meara entitled “Napoleon in Exile,” and pub lished in Boston, iu 1823 : “In the course of a fow years,” added he, “Russia will have Constantinople, tho greatest part of Tnrkey, and all Greece. This I hold to be as certain os if it had already taken plaoe. Almost all the ca joling and flattering whioh Alexander practiced toward me was to gain my con sent to effect this object. I wonld not consent, foreseeing that the eqnis librium of Europe would be destroyed. In the natural course of things, in a few years Turkey must fall to Rus sia. The greatest part of her population are Greeks, who, you may say, are Rus sians. The Powers it would injure, and who would oppose it, are England, Franco, Prussia and Austria. Now as to Austria, it would be very easy for Russia to engage her assistance by giving her Servia and other provinces bordering upon tho Austrian dominions, reaching noar to Constantinople. “The only hypothesis that France and England may ever be allied with sincerity will be in order to prevent this. But oven this alliance would not avail. France, England and Prussia united can not prevent it. Russia and Austria can at any time effect it. Once mistress of Con stantinople, Russia gets all the commerce of the Mediterranean, becomes a great naval power, and God knows what may happen. “She quarrels with you, marches off to India an army of 70,000 good soldiers, which to Russia is nothing, aud 100,000 oanaillo, Cossacks, and others, and Eng land loses India. Above all other powers, Russia is most to be feared, especially by you. Her soldiers are braver than the Austrians, and she has tho means of rais ing as many as she pleases. In bravery, the French and English soldiers aro the only ones to be compared to them. All this I foresaw. I see into futurity fnrther than others, and I wanted to establish a harrier against those barbarians by re establishing the Kingdom of Poland ; but your imbeciles of Ministers would uot consent, A hundred yearB hence, I shall bo praised nnd Europe especially Eng land, will lament that I did not succeed.'' tftclBcnck’M Pulmonic Nyrup, for tub Cure of Conhumition, Coughs and Colds.

Stockton is a mild- mannered, olear-rainded man, well liked. “Politics in New Jersey bang rather closely,” he said, “on all parties. The people made a snpreme effort to elect Mr. Tilden, and then, when indecision, weak ness and cowardice lost ns the fruits of the election, tho feeling became inani mate. It has not sigoe revived. I think,” the ex-Senator added, “that the strikes grew out of tho disgust arising from Til- den’s being counted out.” “How so ?” “Tbe laboring people had been assured that they were to have a general ohange of Administration, policy and business. They voted to accomplish that result. Up to that time they had suffered peaceably. When Mr. Tilden was set outside and the defeated candidate pnt in the office, their patience gave way. They undertook to remedy things outside of the lawful method.” “Yon Hpeak of cowardice and weak ness among Mr. Tilden’s supporters. What do you mean ?" “Rich men—rich Democrats, principally in tho city of New York. That wealthy class of Democrats have always been in favor of flying from responsibility if they thought their money was imperriied. During the war they hastened to give their assent to giving up Mason and Sli- doll. They took fear at the possibility of a conflict if Mr. Tildeu was inaugurated. They got up a meeting and had the reso lutions signed by all the rioh, respectable Demooratio merchants and bankers. In order to be perfectly conciliatory, they also had Republican rich men sign it. And what waH their remedy, as they ex pressed it ? It was not to oarry out the will of the people, but they implored Con gress to settle tbe eleotion without any disturbance. I said to Mr. Tilden, Tf our Demooratio leaders will only try, not to have courage, but pretend to have some, justice will be done.’ Yet they hardly lot the oleotion pass before they began to plead and impore for peaoe, and the Re publicans saw it and beoame defiant.” “You think, then,with Senator Sprague, that nothing is as cowardly as a million, except two millious ?” “1 think,” said Senator Stockton, “that the liberties, and even the laws, of a peo ple are never safe in tho custody of a rich olass. The middle oless and poor do not shrink before their responsibility. The wealthy fly boforo there is any danger.” “Were thero no exceptions iu that pol itical panic ?" “August Belmont told Mr. Tilden that ho would risk every dollar he possessed on carrying out the popular will. Belmont behaved admirably. He wanted to see Mr. Tilden inaugurated.” “But Tilden himself had no decision about it. He let the Oommiasion try the oaBo at discretion.” “I think not,” said Stockton. “I heard him tell Edwin Cooper to telegraph to Washington not to assent to any terms to a Commission unless the Justices to sit upon it were named.” “Well, they were named by designating their circuits; and your own State, New Jersey, had an important part to play in tho decision.” “Yes; Judge Bradley, with Frelinghuy- sen on one side of him and Robeson on tho other, to give him advice, pnt New Jersey in a plaoe to misrepresent her self. Don’t you think that Senators Bayard aud Thurman, both Democrats, were anxious to settle the Presidency any how, aud worked hard to sustain the Commission ?’ ‘They are both good men, and both friends of mine, They were deceived. If Judges Field and Clifford had got up and left the tribunal when it refused 10 receive evidence there would still have been a chance. The assurances of Ed munds and Hoar in the oommittee to frame tho bill deceived the Democrats theie, and they did not insist to put in a clause that evidence shonld be taken. The omission was fatal. When the tri bunal rejected evidence, and made the Florida decision from the face of the re turns, Senator Conkling was relied upon to make a protest in open Senate or joint session. I do not know what was expected of him, but tho impression pre vailed that he would see justice done. That slipped up iu some way and Conk ling contented himself with absence or acquiescence.’ ‘What do you think of the tribunal it self—the judicial side of it?’ “That tribunal settled the question that human nature is not to be relied upon iu supreme political issues. Charles O'Conor believed to the last moment that those Judges would be impartial aud do justice. Judge Black always said they would put in Hayes anyhow. The bar of the United Statos genorully showed perfect codS- denco in tho court, and that is a testi monial to tho character of tho American bar, thut its sensibilities and standard worn higher than the Supremo Court’s.” “After all. Senator Stockton, do you uot think that in future and distant com plications of the same kind the expedient of a commission will be tried again,as it is now a precedent, aud the suggestion of it goes back to the vear 1800 V” “I do not think,” replied the Senator, “that for tho next twenty-five years any political party will trust itRelf to an arbi tration of Judges of opposite politics. As I havo just said,we mistook human nature in tlu* unfortunate case already tried, and found our Judges to be politicians. Tho Republicans retorted that all tho Democrats on the Commis sion voted for Tilden, as all the Republicans voted for Hayes. That would have been an argument if it had not been previously agreed to take testimony. The Republican judges de cided without testimony; the Democratic judges offered to hoar evidence. I sat in the court, by accident, beside a leading Republican editor, not knowing his voca tion, and asked him how tho trial would turn out. He said : ‘If they take evi dence, this election will not he decided by the Ith of March. If they do not take evidence, Hayes will go in.’ Then I saw tbe neatness of the cheat/’ “Did Heudricks take any prominenoe in the political consultations accompany ing the Commission?” “Well, the Western Democrats, led by Heudricks, behaved all through with firmness and courage, and they presented a gallant contrast to tbe behavior of East ern Democrats.” “Yon think the result has rather paral- ized politics for a time ?” “Yea. If a party asks for the votes of the people and receives them for its can didate, and tho party then fails to oarry out the election the people get oontempt 1 for the party.
