London, December 4.—Concerning Suleiman Paslw’s movements, ii is reported from Constantinople yester day, when it was stated that lie was believed to lie engaged in a strong ef fort to reach Osman Puslui. Tlie Daily Telegraph's Hliumla special, dated Sunday night, says no official news lias been received there since Thursday. Important move ments are imminent, if not already progressing. Great anxiety prevails. Many rumors are circulating, among them that heavy fighting occurred on Friday in the direction of Tirnova, upon which place the Russians were ultimately driven hack, losing over three thousand men, and tliat the Turks are now bombarding Tirnova. All available surgeons and dressers arc moving hence to Osman Baza. [Note.—The rumors at Sliumla and correspondent impressions seem to confirm the report that Suleiman Paslia is endeavoring lo’elteet an im portant diversion by cutting tlie Rus sinn communications along the north ern slope of the Balkans. The move ment may lie wholly imaginary, but is very favorable, mu) tlie fact tliat tlie Russians say uolhing about it must not be taken as contradictory. They would be likely to reserve the report until tlie movement was completed.] RUSSIANS REPULSED 11V MEHKMET A LI.

Paris, Deeemlier 4.—Tlie corres pondent of tlie Times telegraphs lie has private information contradicting French newspaper accounts of tlie Interview between M. Dufuure und President'MacMalion. He says few days since Senator Dticlei pro sented "to tlie Marshal an informal note asking liini,*as satisfaction to tlie Left, to promise to propose a re vision of tlie Constitution in a Re publican sense. The Marshal sent for M. Dufuure to Inform him tliat Ills condition was unacceptable. M Dufaure replied that the Left, desired a guarantee against a second dissolu tion, and tliat nothing could lie easier than to find a guarantee which would not compromise the President's dig nity. The correspondent concludes the foregoing is all tliat occurred, consequently there is no ground for thinking tliat tlie temper of tlie Ely- see is changed. It is significant that the deputation of Paris merchants and manufacturers who went to the Elysee Monday, desiring to present an address to President MucMuhoii in person, were received by mi uide-de camp, who somewhat peremptorily referred them to tlie Ministerol'Com merce. The deputation retired telling tlie aide-de-camp to inform tlie President they were the vanguard of an imposing demonstration which numbered a thousand to-day, and would number one hundred thousand to-morrow und a million next day. DOES IT SIGNIFY ANYTHING'.’ Several journals state that M. Du faure bus undertaken to mediate lie tween the Left und the Marshal and frame a political programme on which a cabinet' can lie formed Should the President accept the pro gramme, M. Dufaure will lie charged with the formation of a <'aliinet. Hi lias conferred with M.

Special to Enquirer-Sun.] Versailles, Deeemlier 4.—In the Deputies to-day Jules Ferry, in lie- half of tlie Budget Committee, de clared tliat tlie committee considered that m detach the clauses relative to direct taxes from tlie remainder of the Budget would involve questions of policy mid principle even of par liamentary government. The main question, '“Shall depositaries of lm- tionai will disarm in tlie face of a policy which refuses to disarm an ex isting conflict'.”' was due lo the fatal advice of counsellors, misleading tlie executive power. The majority would only grant the budget to a parlia mentary ministry, if estimates were not passed placing the responsibility upon those who persisted in prolong ing the crisis despite the cry of public misery which was licurd. I ’litil further notice the committee would not report i n favor of direct taxes. Iturniguon and ltouhcr demanded tliat tills declaration lie treated as a report so that the House could pro ceed to discuss it otherwise and the voice of minority could beatified. t iullllietta opposed tlie demand, and said oil Thursday all the committees and reports would lie brought in, when the Chamber was ready to con sider the Budget, hut would only hand over resources of the country, when those in power bowed before popular will. It would be seen whether iu France the nation governed or a man commanded. Rouher moved tliat tlie Budget be considered on Thursday next. Grevy sahl the minority would have an opportunity for debate on Thursday, when the Chamber could decide whether to proceed to a discus sion. Roulier’s motion was rejected by 328 to 197. The Senate elected M. DeLnrey, Legitimist, and M. liaisl, Bomqmrt- ist, life Senators. Fire, at Aiken., Ohio.

The matter was referred to Sergt. Kealy, and he put Detectives Lyon and Dorsey on the cuse. On Wednesday Officer Mulrooney. of the Western Steam- bout Squad, brought to the Central Office a morocco bag which a canal boatman had given him. The boat man told Mulrooney that lie found tlie bug floating in the Hudson river opposite Pier No. 23 on Tuesday. He said tliat several of his companions were present when lie found it, and they persisted in having him open it. When it was opened, lie said it “had bonds and sucli tilings in it,” and, despite all his efforts, Ids com pan ions “made a grab” for them and he was unable to save hut a few. These were some blank checks and some letters. When the detectives questioned the expressman who hud been sent after, the trunks by Mr. Bradley, he told various stories about the matter. At one time he said tliat tlie trunk was stolen from him at the depot; and at another time lie said that lie was driving along West street with the trunks, and a passing truckman sang out to him that a thief luul just stolen a trunk from ids wagon, und, turning around, lie found tills to lie tlie case. He then went to Capt. Eakins, of the Fifth Precinct, and complained of the robbery. From the man’s descrip tion of tlii* trunk, the police of the Fifth Precinct arrested two waiters who were seen bundling a similar trunk; hut it turned out tliat their arrest was a mistake, and they were discharged. Capt. Eakins does not, however,suspect theexpressmunofthe robbery, and attributes his contradic tory stories to nervousness at Ids loss of flic trunk. It lias been ascertained that the man did get tlie trunk at the ‘depot, and that It was stolen after it had left there. Strong suspicions are entertained against the boatmen, and they are kept underdose surveilance and Detectives Lyon and Dorsey be lieve tliat at last they have secured clues which will enable them to cap ture the guilty parties, and recover most of the stolen property. When the fact of the moroeo bug ivas re ported to Mrs. Pemberton, she ex pressed her opinion that it was a very singular, if not a suspicious circum stance that tin* hag when found by ttic boatman showed papers that had been placed jn another part of the missing trunk altogether. Mrs. Pemberton and her daughter made u call upon Inspector Dilks yesterday evening about the matter, nnd were informed tliat arrests would probably he made to-day or to-morrow. t’nn«ll«late for the Papal Throne. Erom the London Times.] Rome, Nov. 3.—Among the Italian Cardinals away from Home one may see the same divergence of views, tlie same contrast of oluimetors, the same inconsistency between private convic tion and public profession noted among the resident or home Cardi nals. Cardinal Guidi, a native of Bo- logiiu, a man of obscure birth, 72 years of age, Bishop of Alliano, a good scholar of divinity, is one of tlie very few Italians who dared illicitly to impugn tlie dogma of infallihility nt the tKcumriiical Council, and has ■been talsioed at Ihe Vatican ever since tliat time.

Antonnici, a native of Subiaco, 71) years old, for very many years Bish op of Ancona, a learned’ man, of gentle, peaceful disposition, is one the few bishops in the former Papal provinces who never gave trnuhh the Italian Government. Saeconi of Montalto, now in his flfltii year, Bishop of Palestrina, cannot boast much erudition, either secular or clesiastical. Politically Iu* is a poor- spirited man, not overladen with good sense, and apt to commit him self ami show want of consistency.

Culcriui is one of the most implacable Iocs to all conciliation or compromise. Accustomed to rule, some of those aged prelates have ac quired a habit of absolute command which makes them almost respecta ble. They know what they want, and have little hope that the fullill- ment of their wishes may come to pass in their- lifetime; hence their in tolerance, misanthropy, and irasci bility.

A few hours after the marriage above recorded the bride und groom retired to their apartments, a suite of rooms at the Southern, known as the bridal chamber, and, after seating themselves for a chat, the husband, was suddenly start lei l from Ids pro priety by the voice of a child in tlie next room. He inquired what It all meant, when his new-made wife pro duced an infant, and falling at her husband's feet begged her husband’s forgiveness.

The following true story of tlie killing of a huge panther iu Alachua county, we And in the Gainesville Timm: “I know you do not often have the opportunity of publishing a true panther story, so I send you one to-day that is certainly true. On Sat urday evening, November 8d, little George Boston, son of Win. K. Bos ton, went out in the Santa Feswanm, near his father’s, to see after his pa’s hogs, and came suddenly upon a large panther making a meal on some nice pork, which lie had taken at Mr. Boston’s expense. Little George, 1 ic ing an expert with Ids gun, deter mined to make an attack upon said panther and spoil his quiet dinner. He therefore crept up as near as he wanted, and fired upon him, striking him with seven or eight buckshot, one entering tin 1 right eyeball. Mr. Panther, not liking to he disturbed iu so unceremonious a manner, under took to resent the insult, but Ids eye being shot out, he could not see iiis way very well, and got caught in a grape vine just before lie got near nough to George to do him any injury. Just as the vine jerked the old chap hack and exposed his breast to view, George fired again, but this time it, was small shot. The panther then turned and took a tree. George had three buckshot and a bul let left, so he loaded again as soon as possible, and that lire brought him to the ground, dead. All this time the mate to this one was only a short dis tance iu the swamp from George, making a hideous noise by hallowing and growling fearfully. George said if he had had any more buckshot he would have gone for him in earnest, hut not having any he stopped and took oil* tlie skin of the one lie had already captured. I saw one off the panther’s forepaws taken of at the ankle, and am confident it would have weighed two or two and a half pounds. I think Ids track while run ning would have covered a space the size of a dinner plate. Said panther measured eight anil a half feet long. His skin Is now to lie seen at Win. K. Boston’s. This is the story of the nanther without exaggeration, and I hope you will give it a pluee in your paper, as I think it a very brave deed of little George, and ought to he known.” IN I0W NAMPLKH FALL ami WINTER, IH77 and 1878.
