Russia seems to be endeavoring to
end the campaign against the Turks
tilts season, and she is In a fair way
of accomplishing that end. Tele
grams received report they* can led
Kars by assault. This gives the Rus
sians uninterrupted sway to Er/eroum,
and that place is compelled to yield,
as the Russians will mass their forces
against it. That will virtually end
the war in Asia Minor, and give the
Russians an army to reinforce their
troops In Europe. The Montenegrins
are pressing the Turks back In anoth
er direction. Plevna seems to tie
jompletely invested, and the report
is tlint lighting was progressing along
the whole line, und that the Russians
re repulsed. If this he true, it only
means that they will again renew the
assault, and tin* death roll is to tie in-
reused. When Russia gains Plevna
it can hardly lie doubted that the
Great Powers will interfere In favor
of peace. All greatly fear the grow
ing power and Influence of a despotic
Government like Russia, which is
controlled by the one man power.
Russia, under the plea of protecting
Christians, is warring for tin* aggran

Russia will prove a much uglier cus

more opposed to civilization nnd pro

of these positions, for such owner

Chicago Tribune.\
In tilt Tribune, of October 29, was
printed a speclul disputch from New
S'ork announcing the formation of n
new syndicate for the purpose of buy
ing up the defaulted lionds of the
Southern States—and perhaps some
of the Western States us well—und
then suing for their value. The pro
jectors of the scheme were announced
to lie ex-Secretnry McCulloch, Drexel,
Morgan & Co., L. Von HoflYnun &
Co., the First National Bonk of New
York City, Winslow, Lanier & Co.,
nnd John J. McKinnon—all of whom
are credited with owning large
amounts of the defaulted (winds. It
was claimed that $500,000,(MX) will be
invested in bonds, and that It can he
gotton together in England, where
Judah P. Benjamin is to have charge.
The scheme has gotten so far ns to
form the Funding Association of the
United States, which proposes to
fund 8 to 10 per cents on which de
fault has been made into guar-
teed 4 and 5 per cents. It
forms a part of the scheme
to procure legislation compelling pay
ment of interest in Florida, Alabama,
Arkansas, Louisiana, North and
South Carolinu, Mississippi, Texas and
Virginia.
The nameof J. J. McKinnon among
the list of those interested in the
scheme brings it home to Chicago In
a manner. It will lie remembered
that McKinnon was for some time a
lawyer here, and that lie hud some
thing like such a scheme as that men
tioned above on his mind at that
time. He is at present aided by an
other lawyer named William Tewsk-
bury, wlio was once connected in
sonic way witli the Alton Road. The
connection of McKinnon witli the
scheme also calls up some reminis
cences of ids career in Richmond in
tlic fall of 1874, which may explain
something of the character of the
scheme as made manifest in said Mc
Kinnon. The history of McKinnon’s
exploits in Richmond is briefly this:
n the fall of 1874 he appeared in
Richmond nnd Introduced himself to
Governor Kemper und other State
officials as the agent nnd attorney of
the “American Bond-Funding and
Banking Association (limited), Lon
don, England." He then proposed
to recapitalize the* debt of the State by
tin* process of buying up for his Asso-
lation the bonds outstanding, the
State agreeing to issue new bonds at
4 per cent. This idea so struck the
Governor that lie recommended it in
his message, and thus endorsed Mc
Kinnon. The Legislature, however,
would have nothing to do with him.
In tlie meantime the position of Mc
Kinnon gnve him almost unlimited
iredit, lie appeared to he the repre-
ntutive of millions of English capi
tal. He and his wife hoarded at the
Exchange Hotel, and, in February
of 1875, he gave to the cashier of the
institution a draft on Maximilian
Low, of London, for £100. A little
time afterward ho gave the proprietor
of the hotel another draft for £100,
and received in person, or by his wife
the equivalent in currency of tlie£200.
The rest of the story is simple
.nongli. McKinnon went away for
eleven days, and didn’t come hack
The drafts on London came back
however, with promptitude, as hav
ing been protested. After it had be-
ome pretty clear- that McKinnon

General Sherman is of opinion that
this force ought tube increased by

strength.
It is a matter of gratification tlmt
Congress would not grant him the
increase, and tin* country approves
the action.
The Supreme Court of Pennsylva
nia lias deckled the dispute between
the Allegheny county grand jury and
Governor Hartranft- in favor of the
hitter. The grand jury summoned
tin* Governor and the Adjutant-
General before them to give testi
mony in the ease of the riots. The
Governor and Adjutant-General re
fused to come, on the ground that the
information in their possession was
privileged, and to divulge it would tic

The question was submitted to the
Supreme Court, and that tribunal de
cides in favor of the position take
by the Governor. The division means
that official information in possession
of the Governor is privileged and
the Governor need not give it in evi
dence before a grand jury ora Court
of Justice, unless lie is willing to.

John Kelly and John Morrissey. M
Kelly seldom speaks loud enough to

almost lost for years, and it is
effort for him to speak at all, and
for mildness of manners, neither of

A stranger in destitute circum

a book on the last campaign in the
South, which a letter from a person
in New York represented to he very
bitter toward tlie white people, and
the local paper notes the fact that at
last he dint among those same peo
ple, receiving the kindest attention
from them.

Washington, Nov. 9.—The fight
over tlie repeal of the specie resump
tion net has brought to the fore* a man
new to Congress, but abundantly
well known at the West, to-wit: Gen.
Thomas Ewing, of Ohio. Gen. low
ing is acknowledged to he tlie cham
pion an<l ablest exponent of the views
of the soft-money Democrats of Ohio
nnd the West. He was sent to Con
gress to bring the greenback boil to a
licud, and he lias succeeded admira
bly. Nuturally he is eluted at the
euecess which lias crowned his en
deavors, but lie is too able u man to
belittle himself or his cause by any
thing which would sound like
‘crowing.” However much men
may differ from Mr. Ewing’s finan
cial views, no man fmay justly cull
him either a blatherskite or a fool.
He is not an experienced parliamen
tarian, nnd he (toes not claim to be.
But lie Is a close student, a hard if
not a sound thinker, and u born lead-
I have been somewhat surprised,
I confess to learn by personal ae-
luuintancc that (ten. Ewing is a very
modest, a very quiet und a very logical
man, und not at all tlie noisy dema
gogue it has been tlie haldt of the
East to consider him. The other
evening I had tlie pleasure of a long,
quiet and wholly informul talk with
him. That conversation convinced
me that Mr. Ewing is not much an
inflationist us an anti-contractionist,
und is not a repudiatlonist at all. “1
think it will lie quite possible,” he
sold, “to resume In twelve or fifteen
years, hut I do not think it possible
to set a day. 1 feci absolutely sure
that it will tie utterly impossible to
resume in 1879, and any attempt to do
so will create wide-spread disaster."
Of course it will be impossible in
tlie limited space of a letter to do any
thing like justice to Mr. Ewing’s
statement of his position, but a few
quotations will give readers who are
always ready to hear both sides of
every question, a little insight into
tlie financial creed of the great soft-
money leader of the West.
“General,” said t, “are you opposed
to resumption ?”
No,” lie replied ; “but,” and he
smiled pleasantly, “I would not stop

Remark by General Butler:
“Hayes is doing well, so well tlmt
really wish he lmd been elected.”
I The Sitting Bull commission cost

I suits are not worth a hundred i*ents.
There is said to be a colored organ
ization called the “Invlnclbles”
spreading over the country, tin* ob
ject of which is to concentrate the
African vote u(>on such candidates as
will recognize the right of the colored
ltizens to more offices than they
have yet obtained. The “Invinci-
Ides” constder tlmt “the man and

d by the Republican party, and pro
mise to govern themselves accord
ingly. Hereafter, they say, there
must hea fair divide of tlie loaves and
fishes, or else the Democracy will
have a heavy reinforcement of colored
Republicans. ^
One of the most remarkable little
old men in this country is Gen. Jas.
Shields, now Adjutant-General of
Missouri. He has represented two
States in the United States Senate,
and was a member of tiuit body when
Daniel Webster, Henry Clay, John
(’. Calhoun and Tom Benton were

There are now 1,089 students at

one mill in the United States, I would
not throw one laboring man out of
employment to accomplish resump
tion.” Then he added, seriously, “1
mean to say tlmt tlie prosperity of tlie
business interests of tlie country is of
vastly more importance justnow than
the resumption of specie payments at
a certain fixed duy in tlie near
future.”
"You think it impossible to resume
in 1879 without eausing a business
disaster"'
“I think it impossible to resume in
1871) ut nil. T believo a large share of
tlie business disasters whieli have al
ready happened have been eaused by
the eflbrts to resume in 1879, and I
believe tlmt wlmt has happened is but
a drop in tlie bucket to what will hap
pen if the present policy is pursued to
its full fruition.’’
“Tell me why, General, you think
it impossible to resume in 1879.”
“Because,” he said, “we cannot
posHlbly accumulate anything like
gold enough between now and then."
“How much gold ought the Gov
ernment to have to he able to re
sume?”
Eleven or twelve hundred mil
lions at the least.”
“How do you make that out?
“Very simply. Experience has
shown it to he an axiom in finance
that, in order to sustain specie pay
ments, it is necessary to have on hand
a very much larger amount of coin
tlinn the entire volume of paper cur
rency which is kept afloat. Take
England, for instance. She keeps
constantly on hand about $700,000,000
in coin ; but the volume of her paper
afloat never exceeds $250,000,000. Or
the same basis we should have much
more than $1,200,000,0(9) of coin on
hand, for we have nearly $700,000,000
of paper afloat."
“How much gold Ims tlie Govern
ment now at its command?’’
“About $100,000,000 ull told, hut not
over $30,000,000 available for purposes
of resumption.”
“General, you know that gold
now only about 103. People generally
have an idea that If it goes muc
lower, say to 101 or thereabouts, re
sumption will lie almost accomplish
ed. What have you to say to tlmt ?’
“That arises from the very common
error of confounding resumption with
equalization, which is a vast differ
ence. I will suppose that gold is
selling at tofl, and still assert that we
cannot resume. Tlie gold quotation
in tlie New York market represents
mainly the demand for gold. It shows
simply that, at the time, nearly all the
gold tlmt is needed is obtainable,
and has nothing whatever to do with
our ability to resume. Suppose gold
rates at 100, and we attempt to resume
on a certain day. What will be the
result? The National hanks, who
must prepare not alone to re
deem their circulation In gold,
but must also be ready to pro-
teet their depositors, will at once send
greenbacks to the treasury to buy
gold. Tlie 2,000 national banks in
tlie country hold at least $150,000,000
of deposits. You can easily see what
an enormous quantity of gold the
Secretary of the Treasury would he
called on to supply them. He could
not ix-gin to meet the demand. Then
the speculators in New York could
easily pool in $50,000,(99) in green
backs and send it to the Treasury for
the purpose of making a corner in
gold. They would have the Secretary
at their mercy and gold would shoot
Up to a higher figure than it did dur
ing the war. They would get rich
and thousands of legitimate business
men would he ruined.”
These samples are sufficient to indi
cate the line of logic which Ewing
pursues. He is not at all a “loud
man,_ but on the contrary as mild-
mannered as a lady. In stature he is
a trifle over six feet and well propor
tioned. His complexion is painfully
pallid. It is almost bloodless. His
Imir, beard and moustache are of a
very light brown color, and ids man
ner'of speech is very moderate, and a
trifle over-oautious, if anything.
Botli in personal appearance and
manners Ewing is u striking contrast
to Ben Butler, who seems to have en
tered into an ullinnoewlth him.
