IMPORTANT CABINET MEETING.

HAtilOX.
IXTEXSE IXTENEST EXCITED'
Washington, March 20.—The Pres
ident has received no visitors to-day,
and will have no time during the
entire day to devote to callers.
A Cabinet council is in session,
having met at ten o’clock, and is
likely to continue during the other
portion of the day. All the members
are present, and the affairs of South
Caroliua and Louisiana are under
consideration. There are a vast num
ber of papers bearing upon the cases,
which are being exaininod by the
Cabinet. Very little discussion is in
volved in the consideration, as there
is harmony of views between the
President and Cabinet in the matter
before them.
It does not seem probable, judging
from what is already known, that
these cases will be disposed of sepa
rately, but it is believed that upon
the subject of withdrawing the
troops from their present positions
in New Orleans And Columbia the
same directions will be given. There
is intense interest manifested to know
the result of the considerations now
engrossing the attention of the Cabi
net, but up to this hour the indica
tions are not favorable for a final de
termination to-day.
Intense interest attached to the
Cabinet session today; but it is cer
tain the proceedings will bo only
preliminary.
The Baltimore American, (Repub.)
says Mr. Hayes yesteiday announced
to several parties that called upon
him on the subject that the Adminis
tration would take up the rival
Southern claims at the Cabinet meet
to-day, but it the opposing parties in
New Orleans are as hot for fight as
they are represented, tlie fulfillment
of his generous and amicable inten
tions may be delayed. At all eventa,
there can be no withdmwal of the
troops so long us ferocious threats
fill the atmosphere and attempts are
made to drive the President to reck
less haste.
The five hours’ Cabinet adjourned
until tomorrow, when a decision
will be reached. The President him
self declines to converse on the sub
ject.
The Radicals now have no hope
beyond the compromising commis
sion. The Conservatives are confi
dent that the policy will be immedi
ately enforced.

RESTORATION OF THE POPE’S TEMPORAL
POWER.
London, March 21.—The Wen s pub
lishes a lemarkuble letter from its
correspondent at Rome, containing
the following: Tho extreme section
of UltramOntaines are at this mo
ment —enlisting adherents to create
a Roman question. Various Jesu
its, bearing iusructions from Father
Becks, General of the Jesuits, have
arrived at tho Vatican from Flor
ence.
Father Beckx warmly counsels the
project. I have positive assurance
that Beckx aud his adherents
promise little short of a speedy re
establishment of the temporal power
of the Pope.
There is no doubt that steps in this
direction have long been preparing.
The Catholic societies in Austria and
Germany have pledge*! themselves
to eo-operate. Oue essential feature
of the place is that the next Conclave
is to be held in Rome, so the new
Pope may be proclaim and a prisoner
like Pius.
Cardinal Sunoni approves and sup
ports the plan, and the Pope has
himself written letters to the Emper
or of Austria, the King of Belgium,
President MacMahon and Ex-Queen
Isabella. A series of express instruc
tions have been issued from the Vat
iean to avoid collision with the civil
authorities, but at the same time
a pressure on the Catholic powers
to obtain their adhesion to a crusade
for the resuscitation of the Roman
question. The Vatican has obtained
lists of volunteers prepared to serve
uuder the Papal flag, and large sums
of money have already been depos
ited in France and England.

London, March 20.—Russia’s note
intimates that she will not demobil

ed—first, the signature of the proto

peace between Turkey and Monte

There is a dead lock in the cosum

says, simultaneously with goed news
from the West comes nothing but
bad news from the East. The intel

A JUDGE ON' FUTURE LIFE.
DEATH NOT ANNIHILATED OR ETERNAL
SLEEP- JOSIE A. I.ANOMAin’s
MURDERER.
Concord. March 9. The scene at
the sentencing of La Page was deep
ly imptessive. The jury were absent
abviut an hour, and after they had
announced the verdict of “murder
in the first degree,” the Attorney-
General moved for a sentence. Judge
Aaron F. Sawyer then said :
“Joseph La Page, you have been
convicted by a jury of your own se
lection, and the Court entertains no
reasonable doubt of your guilt. You
have been convicted of the murder
of Josie A. Langmaid on the 4th day
of October, 1875, at Pembroke, in this
county, for which, by the law of New
Hampshire, you must suffer death.
Have you anything to say why tho
death penalty should not now be
ipronounced on you?”
This being repeated by an inter
preter, La Page said : "I have two
answers; let me have the priest, and
then God shall decide who has done
the deed, and find out who has doue
it before long.”
Judge Sawyer continued:
“I will not speak of the enormity
and heinousness of tho crime; the
counsel in your defense delineated
its horror and atrocity. You have
but a short time, sir, to live in this
world. Dream not of annihilation,
or death, as an eternal sleep. It is
notin your power, however it may
consist both with your wishes and
your interest, to cease to be or to di
vest yourself of the responsibility.
The Holy Scriptures represent God
as infinitely just, and also as a God
of love and mercy. We could hard
ly conceive of a God as just if a
wicked man, after committing oritnes
and murders, were permitted to
escape punishment by ceasing
to exist. I recommend you to
prepare for another world. ‘God so
loved tiie world, that lie gave His
only begotten Son, that whosoever
belteveth on Him might not perish,
but have everlasting life’; but that
dear Son came into this world and
gave Himself a propitiation for your
sins and mine, and for tiie sins of
the whole world. I advise you to
apply to your Heavenly Father for
pardon; murderers have been par
doned by repentance; you can be
pardoned by repentance; the blood
of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all
sin. May God appropriate that
blood to your salvation. You are
a young man, cut off by vice in
the morning of your days. Your
sun is scarcely risen before it will
have set; I hope not under shadows
everlasting, but that iu tho morning
of the resurrection you may shine in
robes of innocence purchased by that
Son of God ; and now to the grace,
mercy, and goodness of God I com
mend you. Sir, tiie sentence which
i tie law prescribes for murder in tiie
first degree the Court awards. It is,
that you lie taken from this place to
the State prison iu Concord, iu tiie
county ot MerrioiAC, aud State of
New Hampshire, aud there remain
until the 15rh day of March, in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and seventy-eight, aud on
i hat day, bet ween 10 o’clock in the
forenoon and 2 o’clock iu the after
noon,you be hangedby the neck until
you are dead, and inay God have
mercy on your soul.”
A Roman tic Mane Robber.
The Galveston (Texas) News says
that about three weeks ago the Gil

captured one Donatio and threeother
chaps, who had robbed a mail stage
between Austiu and Fredericksburg.
On the person of Doualio was found
an incomplete letter, which stamps

A Waterspout.
Tho clouds grew very dark and
throating, and immediately the
course of the vessol was changed from
the point toward which tiie storm
seemed to be centring, which proved
to be on our port bow. Gradually
tiie clouds, which, by the-by, were
forming in strair, grew almost black,
and seemed to be about three miles
away. A breeze having sprung up
suddenly, led us to think we were
certain to have our—thus far—re
markably smooth passage interrup
ted by an Indian Ocean storm, or
possibly a cyclone. But instead, to
our great pleasure, we saw emerging
from the dense mass of cloud a most
distinctly-marked waterspout. \Ye
could sec perfeeily well the water
rise, in the shape of a cylinder, to a
considerable height from tiie ocean,
when the revolution of the wind grew
larger, and tho water, being carried
bv the wind, spread out iu the form
of a tunnel, larger and larger, until
it became lost in the clouds. The
spout was drawing watter for a bout
fiften minutes, when we noticed that
its junction with the ocean was
broken, and it then looked almost
precisely like tiie lower part of a
baloon as it floats in the air, flapping
from side to side. Gradually this
lower part disappeard, from the bot
tom upward, until it was wholly lost
in the clouds. Almost immediately
afterward we saw on the surface of
tiie water what looked like steam
raising, but what proved to bo the
spray caused by a very heavy fall of
rain ; on it came, until it reached us,
when, for at least t Dirty minutes, it
rained as hard as I ever saw it rain

Oiisnla.
Tiie province of Bosnia in which
fresh disturbances have arisen with
in the last few days, is the most wes
tern of t he dependencies of European
Turkey. Its area is about equal to
East and Middle Teiincs.se, and it
contains about i,loo,ouu inhabitants.
It is traversed by a mountain range,
tho highest of whose summits attain
an elevation of 8,000 feet. The pop
ulation is one of much difference in
race and religion, and is not greatly
dissimilar from that in Servia and
Montenegro, which were lately at
war witli the Turks. Of this popu
lation, about 620,000 are Christians,
420,000 Mohammedans, 8,000 Gipsies
and 5,000 Jews. Of the Christians,
about 430,000 belonging to tiie Greek
Church, and 190,000 are Roman
Catholics. Ry far the greater part, of
the pepulation, in blood, belongs to
the southern Slaves, who entered the
country in tho 7ih century and dis
lodged the Illyrian race. On tiie
eonq uest of the country by the Turks,
the greater part of the large land
owners, and wealth in classes, adop
ted the Moslem faith to save their
estates from seizure by the conquer
ors; and thus the religion of the
Prophet obtained at once its strong
foothold in the country. It is possi
ble that their descendants might
revert to i tie faitli of their fathers
were tiie Moslem yoke thrown off,
and a permanent Christian govern
ment put over them. The Turks
completed their conquest and an
nexed Bosnia in 1528, to the Ottoman
Empire.
The Latest News From Stanley.—
The New York Herald publishes a
London despatch, dated March 12,
announcing tho reception of three
letters from Henry M. Stanley, the
joint commissioner of the Herald and
London Daily Telegraph, now ex
ploring the equatorial regions of
Central Africa, an I determining the
location and character of the several
sources of the Nile. The letters are
dated from Ujiji, outlie eastern shore
of lake Tanganyika, and on the 7th,
10th and 13th of August, 1876, respec
tively. After a minute examination
or the Victoria N’Yanza, Stanley
made his way with some difficulty to
Ujiji, where be fitted out his explor
ing boat and launched it on Lake
Tanganyik, of which he made a com
plete survey, verifying many previ
ous observations. At the northern
end of the lake he found a spacious
gulf, which he will henceforward be
known to geographers as “Burton
Gulf,” after the celebrated African
explorer of that name. In this sec
ond letter Stanley describes some
discoveries respecting tiie Kageera
river, which empties into Lake Vic
toria N’Yanza on its western side.
The purity aud color of the water of
the Kageera, lie declares, indicate
that it rises either far to the west
ward of Lake Tanganyika or that its
course is interrupted by a lake, wtaere
the waters are purified as in a great
settling basin, and to this river or
lake he has given the name of Alex
andra, in honor of the Princes of
Wales. Stanley’s latest letter, dated
Ujiji, August 13, reports an outbreak
of small-pox and fever in the district.
This visitation obliges him to prepare
for an early departure from the place.
He proposes to cross the country to
N’Yangwe, westward of the northern
end of Lake Tanganyika and on tho
Lualaba or Webb’s river. He will
there determine on his final course.
Washing Black Calico.— A cor
respondent in Moor’s Rural New
Yorker, gives the following as the
best way to wash these goods; “I do
not wash such dresses as other colors
so long as it can be avoided, but
simply wipe them off carefully with
a damp sponge and warm water and
iron them smoothly on tiie wrong
side, or with a cotton cloth or paper
between the iron and the goods. And
they always look nicely and retain
their new look after being thus treat
ed. I have worn such a dress, usual
ly, for afternoons for nearly a year,
and was quite surprised a short time
ago when a friend, upon examining
it, told rne she ‘had thought it wool
len goods all the while.’ The lining
of the waist and sleeves I had made
so they can be detached and washed
as often as required. Many omit the
starch for black goods, but I have
not found objectionable as a stiffen
ing one qart of sweet milk to two of
holing water.

Pittsburg, March 14 — A well-plan
ned and skillfully-executed express
robbery was perpetrated in this city
last night. Superintendent Bing
ham, of the express company, gives
tho following particulars this morn
ing: Yesterday afternoon when the
Buffalo express south reached Bra
dy’s Bend, a telegram was handed
Thomas Bingham, express messen
ger, which instructed him to trans
fer his packages, &e„ to J. H. Brooks
at Templeton ana return to Parkers
burg Landing aud wait orders. This
was dated Pittsburg, and signed G.
Bingham, Superintendent. Temple
ton is a small station on the Allegha
ny Valley Railroad 50 miles from this
city. The Bufflalo express south and
train going north, meet there and
stop for supper. On the arrival of
the train at Templeton, a man stepp
ed into the express car and told
messenger Bingham he was ordered
to relieve him and take his run to
Pittsburg. Mr. Bingham asked him
for his instructions, and he produced
a telegram addressed to J. 11.
Brooks, instructing Brooks to relieve
Bingham at Templeton, and tiring
the express matter to Pittsburg.
This was also signed George Bing
ham, superintendent. Bingham,
alter the transfer to Brooks, took
the north train to Parker’s, and
Brooks came to this city in
charge of the express car. At the
depot, in this city his goods were
checked off correctly, and lie got in
tiie wagon with the driver to deliver
the goods and report at the office on-
Fifth avenue. The robbery was com
mitted in the wagon between the de
pot and office. He jumped from the
wagon unnoticed by tho driver when
less than half a square from the
office. The safe was found open, and
many packages amounting to $4,000
missing, when delivered at tiie office.
Brooks eat the railroad telegraph
wire this side of Templeton, drew the
wire into a watch-house, and there
with a pocket instrument he sent the
bogus messages which operated so
successfully.
Whore the Democratic lie! timing:
Hoard Comes In.
New York Graphic,]
The Clerk of tho House of Repre
sentatives is now compiling the roll
for the organization of the next
House. It is ascertained that in a
number of the districts contests of
such a nature iiave been instituted
that neither tiie Republican nor the
Democratic candidate lias yet re
ceived his certificate of election from
the Governor. In all such cases the
name of neither is placed upon the
roll; and as the Republicans claim
to have carried nearly all these dis
tricts, and the questions involved are
principally technical, ones, of course
the result is to give to the Democrats
a larger majority than they other
wise would have. It is now reported
that the roll as made up by Clerk
Adams will show the Democratic
majority to be about 17. Leading
Republican members of the next
House are unanimously of tho opin
ion that to refuse to place upon the
list tho name of any Republican
whose certificate of election is for
warded to the Clerk would be arbi
trary and illegal, and measures will
be taken to make a protest against it
of such a nattffe as to be effective.

ST. LOUIS GLOBE-DEMOCRAT,
PROSPECTUS FOR 1877.
The Favorite mid Leading Newspaper
of the West.
Daily, Tri-Weekly, Semi-Weekly and
Weekly.
rpHE success of the GLOBE-DEMOCRAT, since
JL the consolidation ot which it is in fact and in
name the product, has been such ib to excite
universal comment. Its circulation has steadi
ly increased since its first issue, aud its general
business prosperity has kept pace with its circu
lation. Thus encouraged, its proprietors are de
termined that In the future no effort will be
spared to keep it in the front rank of journal
ism.
Politically, the GLOBE-DEMOCRAT is a sup
porter of the measures of the Republican party,
believing that organization to be best adapted
by ita principles aud policies to perpetuate our
form of government, and to secure its adminis
tration in a manner best calculated to promote
tho good of the country.
The popular demand is not only for an organ
of opiuurn, but for a history of the times
something that will come fully up to the poet’s
idea of
A map of busy life,
Its fluctuations aud its vast concerns.
In this respect we claim for the GLOBE-DEM
OCRAT a reputation second to that of no journal
in.the West, yielding to no rival in our efforts to
obtain the news,aud to present the same in an at
tractive shape.
Our aim is to publish a newspaper adapted to
the wants, tastes and interests of the people of
the Mississippi Valley. To this end we pay es
pecial attention to events happening in Missouri
and the adjoining Btates--to watch their prog
ress. aud to assist, in so far as we can, in their
development.
The Weekly Globe-Democrat,
Now an Enlarged Octavo of
FIFTY-SIX COLUMNS,
is emphatically a paper for the People—and es
sentially a Family Newspaper. Containing as it
does a complete summary of the latest and of all
the important news from all parts ot the world;
a number of Editorials on current topics; a care
fully selected aud interesting Miscellasy; valua
ble matter tor the farmer, housewife, merchant
aud mechanic; the latest and most reliable Live
Stock and Crop Reports; a Financial and Com
mercial Column—long known as complete, and
more reliable than that of any other paper pub
lished in the West; which, with the especial at
tention always given to the progress and the
rapid developement of the resources of the Great
West, can not but make the WEEKLY-GLOBE
DEMOCRAT a most welcome visitor to every
fireside.
