Mb. O. B. Bradford, Gen. Grant’s

trouble. He is now serving out a
sentence of a year or two for opening
private letters while acting as our
representative, and at the expiration
of'hls sentence will be arrested for
embezzlement, extortion, peijury and
malfeasance in office. Bradford is a
fine sample of the class of huckstering
politicians who have been foisted into
diplomatic positions, and yet there
are people who contend that there is
no necessity for civil service reform.
Montgomery Blair says he is a
candidate forthe United States Senate
from Maryland because he thinks he
can aid in forcing on issues which
will consolidate the people and rein
state them in the actual control of
their Government, and take it out of
the hands of -monoplists and jobbers.
He claims that Thomas A. Scott and
Jay Gould were the “fowlers” that
spread the Electoral Commission net,
and that “they toled the bird into
the net with the hundreds of millions
involved in their measures then and
still before Congress.” He, however,
does not mean to say that all who
voted for the commission were brib
ed; on the contrary, he knows “that
the great.majority of Democrats who
so voted did so because persuaded
that, as the House stood, that meas
ure offered the only chance, for the
Democracy, because the railroad
jobbers had already destroyed the
Democratic majority in the House.”
Mr. Blair claims that the railroad
subsidy interests are in as absolute
control of the House Committee as of
the Senate Committee.
Philadelphia Inquirer (Rep.):
His name is Turner, and he has
brought his ease to the attention of
the United States District Court, de
claring that he was appointed Mar
shal of Alabama and confirmed by
the Senate, but was recently ousted
from the office by one Reed, who was
named by the President and not con
firmed by the Senate; hence, under
the Tenure of Office act, the. com
plainant is the He jure incumbent.
The court took the papers and now
holds the matter under consideration.
Neither of the men named become
the policy of civil service reform, and
the people of Alabama will view this
contest in the same spirit that the
Western lady contemplated the con
flict between her husband and a bear,
when she observed that “it is a very
pretty fight, and I don’t much care
s which whips.” But it is ft test case,
and may assume a national impor
tance, developing the exact status of
LITTLE THINS*.
After all, it is the small things
which annoy and produce the great
est discomfort. To large occasions
the mind proves equal to the contest
Like a gallant ship the soul rises in
all its greatness to breast the swelling
waves, and bounds to meet them.
Mounting the topmost one the proud
vessel rides on to safety. In the
short chopping seas one finds his
troubles, and tosses and pitches in
the most disturbed of styles. Men
can stand the bite of a rattlesnake.
They know the remedy, and they are
not apt to go where others are en
countered ; but the unavoidable flea,
mosquito and gnat he fights the
whole summer through, and wastes
the same anathemas which minor
troubles have ever evoked. Fools
may rush in where angels fear to
tread, but if the heavenly visitants
venture in the shoals and quicksands
where poor humanity is compelled to
travel, they, too, might murmur their
complaints and utter dissatis
factory comments. They, too, might
enter the Paradise of Fools to many
known, and experience all the dis
comforts. In every home and depart
ment are these petty temporary ills.
They can be overcome by constant
perseverance, but few have the pa
tience or nerve to encounter these
constant peckings and not develop
the crossness and petulance which
belongs to the common life of hu
manity. Many a home would be
happy were the same amenities ob
served there that are maintained in
outside social and commercial circles.
It is a thought to occupy us on Sun
days—have we endeavored to make
all within our influence as cheerful
as we could—how <4tsily it woukl
have been to make a heart rejoice in
stead of sorrowing. Sharp sayings
may pass for wit, but they cause
many a pang which might be
avoided—how easy it would
have been to create an atmosphere of
gladness instead of the gloom of a
mean, sloppy day, where all the tu
multuous little passions bubble over
and render every surrounding misera
ble. Often in familiar intercourse is
a stab inflicted which was never
meant, which attendant circumstan
ces tend to embitter, and which so
readily could be avoided. When too
late, perhaps, to recall the past, and
regret cornea, keen and poignant, the
sentiment, though not the words, of
Miss Muloch’s touching poem may
recur with alrtheir vividness:
‘Gould ye come back to me, Douglass! Doug
lass!
In the old likeness that I knew,
I would be so faithful, so loving, Douglass,
Douglass! Douglass! tender and true.”
WHAT WILL THE LEFT DOT
The question is not so much what
will the President of the French Re
public, so called, do, as what demands
the extreme Republicans, known as
the Left, may attempt. Centuries
and frequent attempts have proven
that the French as a nation have no
idea of a Republic. La Oloire lias
been whipped out of them by the Ger
mans. They no longer are willing to
fight for an idea, as Louis Napoleon
once boasted they would. Of a repub
lic in our American sense, the mer
curial, capricious Frenchman has not
the least notion. A strong govern
ment is required. MacMahon seems
willing to a compromise but the Left
are opposed. He desires the army
and navy and foreign diplomacy be
removed from the influence and con
trol of a lot of hot-heads controlled
by passionate men like Gambetta.
The Left are unwilling to assent
to anything which does not give
them complete control. A few days
since a deputation of manufacturers
and other adherents of the Left
called on the President. He very
properly snubbed them, received
them through an aid-de-camp, who
bowed the crowd out. The Left ap
pears to represent the radical faction,
which has so long cursed this country
—the creation of the mob. They are
opposed to all constitutional govern
ment, except that which gives them
power. We have no sympathy with
any such party or purpose, and hope
conservatism will conquer. If not
these troublous times will constantly
appear, and not only disturb France
but the commercial relations of the
earth.
Has Tilden Taken the Oath?
—Some of the Northern pa
pers are disturbed on the
subject, and are anxiously asking
if Mr. Tilden has taken the oath
office as President of the United
States? It derived some force from
the nearness of the Democrats in ob
taining control of the Senate. This
was not effected because of the admis
sion of Kellogg. That Mr. Tilden
was elected is a universally admitted
fact. The New York Sun does not
affirm nor deny tkat Mr. Tilden lias
taken the oath—only alleges the Rad
icals had a severe scare. Whether he
has or not makes little difference.
The time for Mr. Tilden to act has
long since passed. When it was nec
essary he said nothing. Democracy
can now afford to wait until 1880, and
then has no rewards to offer to grum
blers who said nothing at the right
moment. _
Philadelphia Times: Kellogg
had hardly warmed his seat before he
began to incubate deviltry, and the
first result is a movement among Sen-
otors at his instance to provide for
Packard. He has the impudence to
present his old chum for the New Or
leans Collectorship, for which the
President wisely nominated Mr. Ef
fingham Lawrence during the extra
session, and we are told that ^ large
number of Republican Senators and
most of the Republican Representa
tives have signed a petition asking
the bogus Governor’s appointment.
If the President should grant this pe
tition it will bestronger evidence than
we have yet seen that the obstruction
ists have frightened him from his posi
tion; for to do so would be to dishonor
his own policy as to Federal appoint
ments in the South and to contravene
the general principles of civil service
reform under which he has held it
highly improper for Senators and
Representatives to interfere with the
Executive functions in the nomina
tion of officers who may come before
the one body sitting as judges and the j
other as accusers to impeach for
wrong doing. Aside from all this,
however, it is different to see how Mr.
Packard could accept the Collector-
ship without resigning the Governor
ship, which he still claims to hold.

—.Savannah News; In the United
States Circuit Court yesterday the
case of Auguste Ejimke vs. Mayor and
Aldermen of the city of Savannah
was tried and resulted in a verdict
against the city of $2,716 80, with
costs. On the 3d of December, 1874,
this case was tried and a verdict of
$3,000 against the city was rendered.
The plaintiff was not satisfied with
this, and the suit had been brought
for damages amounting to $20,000, and
on the ground of inadequate compen
sation moved for and obtained a new
trial. The defendants were not satis
fied with this verdict, and an order
was granted allowing the defendants
four days in which to file their motion
for a new trial. This suit for dam

brig Voltigeur, whilst returning to
his vessel, was precipitated from the
bluff near the foot of Houston street

ValenliEC Baker's Petition with Ibe
Tarkn.
London World.]
Col. Baker has no command in the
Turkish army, only in the gendarme
rie. In action he advises the differ
ent commanders what course to pur
sue, often leading charges of waver
ing regiments himself. He and Col.
Briscoe, late Fifteenth Hussars, who,
with him, has been foremost in the
recent fighting about Shumla, have a
very poor opinion of the fighting pow
ers of the Turkish cavalry—the mere
appearance of a bold front causing
them to waver, and a charge scatter
ing them before contact.
Baker Pasha has gone to join his
late chief, Mehemet Ali. Of the two,
Suleiman and Mehemet, he naturally
E refers the latter. Suleiman allowed
ini no initiative, and never took his
advice. Mehemet, on the other hand,
allowed him to conduct reconnois-
sances,and frequently asked his ad
vice. It is true that he never followed
it, but then lie always subsequently
expressed his regret.
I confess I had rather see the South
solidly Democratic, as now, South
Carolina and Louisiana included, and
race antagonisms allayed, than to see
those States Republican and the
blacks exposed to the assaults of the
infuriated whites. And infuriated
with cause, too. Republican rule in
those States was such a mockery and
cheat, and so destructive of all mate
rial interests, that the outrages upon
the negroes were not without ex
cuse. There Is a limit to human
patience, and Southern human
lienee, with a negro on top, Is soon
reached.—H. Y. RedjMd.

ACTION OF DEMOCRATIC SENATORS.
It may be accepted that the Demo

M. Dufaure was afterwards much

CONFUSION REIGNS.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
Versailles, December 8.—The
settings of the Chambers to-day were
uninteresting. It was expected a
question would be put in the Senate
which would afford M. Dufaure an
opportunity of explaining his share
in recent events, but both the Right
and Left being uncertain of support,
the Constitutionalists refrained from
putting questions. After the sitting
the Constitutionalists held an impor
tant meeting. One member declared
they must follow the Marshal
up' to the end, even to dissolu
tion. M. Lambert De Sainte Croix
urged that the Marshal must accept a
Parliamentary Ministry. M. Baibie
maintained that the Marshal had
made every concession consistent with
honor, and henceforth the Constitu
tionalists must follow him even to
voting a second dissolution. At the
request of M. Bachus the meeting re
frained from coming to a decision.
The utmost confusion reigns in all

MEHEMET ALI FAILING.
The Times to-day, in its war sum
mary, says: Suleiman Pasha’s suc
cess "depends upon rapidity and ener
gy. His best hope for breaking
through the Russian line was to dash
rapidly forward and take the adver
sary by surprise. He has hesitated
either on account of finding superior
forces in stronger positions than he
expected in front of him, or because
the military administration of his ar
my could not stand the strain thrown
upon it by papid evolutions. Since
an unsuccessful attack made against
Prince Mirsky on Thursday, the Ot
toman column, heading towards Tir-
nova, seem to have made no move
ment of importance. Had they
pushed forward ‘boldly and grasped
that important strategical point, the
Ottoman commander would have
gained a central situation between
General Radetzky and the eighth ar
my corps and left wing of the
Czarowiteh, and could have seriously
impeded and embarrassed their move
ments for concentrating his advanc
ing forces. It seems however to have
found the entrenchments of Jabalo-
vitza too formidable. Time has been
given to the enemy, and now at least
the whole of the 8th and 11th corps
with some other detachments, mus*
tering probably about 20,000 men are
at Tirnova. It is doubtful whether
Suleiman Pasha can hope to pusli
these aside and persevere in his ad
vance. From tne western Balkans
there is no movement reported, and,
for the moment, it would seem that
the Gen. Gourko has suspended opra-
tions till the result of Suleiman Pa
sha’s offensive advance is ascertained.

Book” for 1877, was $3,750,337,129,
counting five francs to the dollar.
This debt was then the second in
magnitude. Some writers have stated
the French debt to be as much as
$4,500,000,000. Probably the true
amount is somewhat above that first
given, as in 1875, France must have
had a good deal of floating and tem
porary indebtedness that had not at
the time been converted into l-entes,
and the “Statenmn’s Year Book”
gives only the capital of the rentes.
But those who put the French debt
at $4,500,000,000 must include munici
pal and other local indebtedness,much
of which was incurred for war pur
poses during the late conflict with
Germany. There is probably not
much difference between the debts of
France and Great Britain at the pre
sent moment. The Times has an
impression that the French is the
huger, but in the absence of reliable
statements later than 1875, it will not
venture to express a confident opin
ion.
Antiquity of the Turkey.—Tur
keys were introduced into England
from America by William Strick
land, Lieutenant to Sebastian Cabot,
in the time of Henry VII, B. Franklin
remarked once upon a time that the
wild turkey should have been the em
blem of the United States, the log
cabin of the pioneer being in his day
surrounded by these birds. The first
turkey seen in France was served up
at the wedding feast of Charles IX,
in 1594, at which feast Craddock and
Susan B. Anthony were present.
Since that day tukeys have always
formed the nucleus for wedding feasts
and Thanksgiving dinners, which is
about all we know concerning the
bird unless we should say that news
paper men have always held that a
cut from the forward part of a roast
turkey’s carcass, smothered in gravy
and surrounded by a pound and a
half of artificial intestines, • is a dish
not in the least detrimental to heath,
and one which no newspaper man
ever hesitated to tackle when favora
ble opportunities offered.—Oensboro
(Ky) Examiner.
Compensation of Moody and Mankey.
The Burlington (Vt.) Free Press,
of November 29, says: “There is no
secret, we believe, certainly no reason
why there should be any, about the
compensation paid to the "Evangelists
who labored in Vermont last month.
Messrs. Moody and Sankey asked
nothing for their sendees here. It
has been said, and we suppose it to
be true, that a wealthy gentleman in
Chicago holds himself responsible for
the support of Mr. Moody’s family
and for his expenses, while he is en
gaged in Gospel work. The Christian
people of Burlington, feeling that Mr.
Moody’s visit here nad been a great
E ublic blessing, and not desiring to
e under obligation to anybody, in
Chicago or elsewhere, for pecuniary
assistance in such a matter, made up
a fund by subscription, and handed
Mr. Moody $500 for himself and Mr.
Sankey. This was less than $o apiece
for each of the sermons and public-
meetings held by them here, but it
was all that Mr. Moody would accept.
In Rutland, Major Whittle and Mr.
and Mrs. McGranahan were paid
$500 together, and in Bennington,
Messrs. Needham and Cato received
together about $275.
How s Bank Gets Its Money Back.
Bank officers have reasonabte ex
cuse for being nervous after reading
the accounts given of the robbery of
the First National Bank of Court-
land, New York. Four hundred
thousand dollars in notes and bonds
were mysteriously abstracted, and
while the officers and accountants
were puzzling their wits to find a clue
to the robbers a note was received
intimating that the holder of the
money would return the property if
the bank would compromise on a cer
tain per cent. A bank officer was to
be in a certain street in New York at
a time named, when a person would
appear authorized to negotiate for the
thieves. Accordingly the officer went
to New York, and was standing at
the comer of Broadway and Houston
street, when a man approached him
and said: “You are from Courtland.
In fifteen minutes a man will come
along wearing a silk hat* a snuft 1
colored coat and a blue necktie; fol
low him, and you will hear something
to your advantage.” And sure
snough the man appeared, and the
officer followed him, the person lead
ing him to a gambling house.
Here the negotiations were conduc
ted. Notes and bills stolen from the
bank were exhibited to the bank
officer. He was told the thieves had
spent forty thousand dollars already,
and a further sum must be allowed
them. The negotiations were not at
once concluded, but while pending
the bank officer was made the guest
of the negotiator, who entertained
him in princely style, and took him
out driving behind a spanking pair
of trotters that gave their heels to
Vanderbilt’s famous pair in a race
from Harlem Bridge into the city and
gave him a chance to see all the nota
ble sights at the metropolis.
Finally the negotiation was effected,
the bank recovering all the notes and
bonds beyond the sum agreed upon
as the spoil of the robbers. The offi
cer yvas cheered by the information
that the same gang had robbed the
Canandiagua Bank in the same man
ner and compromised in the same
fashion. The robbery was committed
in the broad daylight and during bus
iness hours; told that was all the in
formation thejbank officer could get.

THE NICROSI-SHARP CASE.
Testimony of the Witnesses.
Montgomery Advertiser, 7th.]
The Coroner’s Jury re-assembled at
11 o’clock.
Mrs. Ewing was sworn: She was
at Mr. Sharp’s residence between 9
and 10 o’clock Monday morning, did
not see the note said to be found in
Miss Sharp’s dress, but heard Mrs.
Sharp say it looked like Orelia’s wri
ting; saw Mr. Ervin there on Tues
day morning; he asked Mrs.
Sharp out for a private conversation;
did not see Miss Callahan at Mr.
Sharp’s at all Monday; saw here there
Sunday when the corps was prepared
for burial; Miss Callahan had free
access to the clothing and everything
of Miss Sharp’s; saw Mr. Sharp after
the body was brought home Sunday.
He seemed to take the death very
hard, and was much affected; said
she was not very well acquainted with
Miss Callahan.
Mr. H. H. Mathews sworn : Is
clerk in the Probate Court office; said
a man giving his name as Kelly came
out to Mr. J. W. Hughes’ “home,
where he lived, to know if any one
applied to the court for marriage
license for Miss Sharp; told him no,
no application had been made. Mr.
Kelly told him Miss Sharp was miss
ing, and that it was the request of
Mr. Sharp that if application for
license was made, not to grant it. No
application for license was made; in
absence of Judge Buckley, himself,
or young Hughs, were authorized to
issue license; said he did not know
the man who called on him and gave
his name as Kelly; had seen him on
the streets. Had never seen any of
Miss Sharp’s writing. There was an
other man sitting out in the vehicle
in which Mr. Kelly went out to Mr.
Hughes; did not know* who he was.
Mr. P. Sanguinneti was sworn :
He said Mr. Tony Nicrosi never
borrowed a pistol tromhim; the pistol
handed to him by Coroner Blue, with
the statement that it was the pistol
found by the dead bodies, was his
property; he learned from his clerk,
Mr. James Simpson, that on Friday
night Mr. Tony Nicrosi said he was
going to the circus and might want a
pistol, and borrowed the one in the
store; had information from Nicrosi
himself, some months ago, that he
had been threatened by some one in
the Singer Sewing Machine office;
thinks he mentioned a Mr. Brown;
did not call Mr. and Mrs. Sharp’s
name; this happened some time ago;
last time he saw Nicrosi alive was 2:30
! ). m. Saturday; lie was attending to
lis business, with his hat off and
hard at work; take my meals at
Nicrosi’s; went to dinner about three
p. m.; asked for Tony, and was told
he had gone out to pay a bill; Nicrosi
and Miss Sharp became acquainted
the first day Miss S. readied Mont
gomery; knew notiiing of difficulty
between Tony and Mr. W. H. Sharp.
Mr. K. Robinson sworn :
Said he knew nothing of his own
knowledge about the tragedy at the
graveyard; had a conversation with
Sanguinneti, Sunday morning—not
on Saturday night.
Mr. Jerome Vincentelli was sworn:
Last time he saw Miss Sharp was
Saturday between 2 and 3p. m., at
store on* Monroe street; asked if Mr.
Tony Nicrosi was there; told her no ;
"but was in front store on Market
street; asked him to go after him for
her and to come to her; went after
him; found him busy putting up
goods in the store; told him of Miss
Sharp’s message ; he kept on at his
work; in about ten minutes Tony
came in ; Miss Sharp waited in the
store for him; they talked in the
store eight or ten minutes; didn’t no
tice their manner; Tony went back
to Market street; he came bare
headed ; Miss Sharp left and went to
wards Court street; didn’t think it
was 3 o’clock when both left the store,
but between 2 and 3 p. m.; have seen
neither party since that time; boards
at Nicrosi’s; went to dinner about 3;
was told that Tony had gone out to
E ay a bill; Tony usually carried the
ind of paper upon whish the note
found on his dead body was written ;
witness is first cousin to the Nicrosis,
and clerks for them at Monroe street
store; never heard Tony say anything
about having a difficulty with Mr.
Sharp.
Mr. James Simpson sworn: Says
Tony Nicrosi asked him for Paul San
guinneti’s pistol last Friday; pistol
was in a drawer in Sanguinneti’s
news store; handed him the pistol;
Tony said he was going to the circus;
people didn’t know who they might
meet at such places, and it was best
to be prepared; never saw him alive
after that; have seen the pistol since
in Mr. Sanguinneti’s possession; have
been clerking for Sanguinneti two
years; Tony was in the habit of bor
rowing the pistol; would return it
generally in a day or so; borrowed it
when going out to picnics and simi
lar places.
Mr. J. M. Falkuer sworn: Saw Mr.
Nicrosi and Miss Sharp together,
walking on Monroe street, about ten
minutes past 3 o’clock Saturday after
noon ; they were going in the direc
tion of the cemetery; saw something
like a bundle under her left arm; saw
nothing unusual about her looks.
Mr. R. Robinson recalled: Was go
ing to the Keplinger fire when he
heard of the finding of Nicrosi and
Miss Sharp; went after Sanguinneti,
and we went to the cemetery together.
At this point the court adjourned
to 10 o’clock to-morrow, Mr. Sharp
not having yet arrived. He is ex
pected to-night. He was delayed in
consequence of getting distant friends
and relatives of the family to Macon
to attend the funeral of his sister.
The Young Vanderbilts.
A correspondent of The Capital
writes from New York: A younger
brother of William H. and Cornelius,
George Vanderbilt, who graduated at
West Point and was appointed to
the 9th infantry, was afflicted simi
larly, though in a less degree than
Cornelius. The young lieutenant,
stationed with his regiment in Ore
gon, absented himself for a time, just
about the beginning of the war, on a
protracted spree in San Francisco,
where he spent thousands in wine,
women and cards, acting generally
like a sailor ashore after a three years’
cruise. The Commodore, hard, flinty,
remorseless to every one else—his
wife, friend or employe—paid the son’s
debts, and when a court-martial cash
iered him for desertion,, and the pro
ceedings were forwarded to Washing
ton for approval, the Commodore ^ave
the steamship Vanderbilt to the Gov
ernment as a gift outright. The sen
tence was remitted, and Lieutenant
Vanderbilt given a leave of absence
for ill-health, with permission to go
beyond the seas. George Vanderbilt,
after a voyage to China, died in Havre
about the third year of the late war.
He was the only one of the Vander
bilts with the education and manners
of a gentleman. At that time the
Commodore, and all who were brought
into contact with the family, looked
on William as a lout and Cornelius as
an imbecile.
If William developed in brains and
savoir faire, so may have Cornelius,
at least enougli so to fairly hope for
more than the interest on 8200,000 out
of the one hundred million rolled up
by the hard, bad old man who had
begotten him. Justice to the living
is better than false tenderness to the
dead, and it is only fair now to print
what always has been common gossip
in New York, that with such an ex
ample before them, and resistless an
influence over them, it is a wonflgr
that the Vanderbilt children did not
grow up a gang of horse-jockeys, har
lots, and misers. The Commodore
saw the sins of his youth reflected in
his son Cornelius, and therefore could
not bear him in his sight'. Mrs. Le
ban, the sister who appears as the
nominal plaintiff against the elder
brother, William, is not the wife of
Smith Barker, Esq. It was another
sister who got a divorce and she
married Mr. Leban. A niece
of the Commodore, daughter
of old Captain “Jake” Vanderbilt,
married one Sparrow Purdy,and find
ing him a triming, drunken, incapa
ble sort of person, divorced him from
bed and—what was Imore important
to a pauper adventurer—board- • She,
too, married again; this time ^Ge r
man baton. The touching
related of William VandeABts
brushing away a tear when counsel
speaks feelingly of his lather are #h n '
ply bosh. He would as soon think of
writing sonnets to ladies’ eyebrows as
sheading tears.
Contests over wills are the most de
plorable and unseemly of all contests,
and exhibit human nature in one of
its worst aspects. It is not easyte
believe that Commodore Vanderbilt
did not know what he was doing
when he made his will, but his heir
had much better have sacrificed the
million necessary to have stilled the
clamor of the discordant daughter,
crying, “Give! give!” He is as guil
ty in holding on to all the money as
Cornelius and Mrs. Leban are in de
filing . the nest in which they were
hatched. Without reference to the
merits of the case, both sides, in per
mitting such an exhibition of hideous
revelation for monev, are contempti
ble.
