INTENSE INTEREST IN THE DEBATE ON
Gladstone’s resolution.
London, May 7.—The debate on
Mr. Gladstone’s resolutions began
this afternoon in the House of
Commons. There was a dense
crowd present, both in the House
and galleries. Prince Louis Napo
leon and other distinguished foreign
ers were in the galleries. The scene
was animated. The Peers’ galleries
were full.
The Times, in its financial article,
alludiug to Saturday’s depression,
say 8: “A tendency to panic pervades
the city on all sides, in consequence
of distrust of the Government’s in
tentions. It may pass away, but
there is danger that any bad news
now would develop it.”
The Times, in a leading article,
s&ys: “We think that Russia's as
sumption of the concurrence of Eu
rope in her action made a formal
protest imperative. Earl Derby’s
dispatch makes this protest with ef
fect and dignity. Our hands, at all
events, are free.”

WHY THE EXTRA NES4ION WA*
PONTroNED.
Washington, May G.— Postmaster
General Key said, last night, with
reference to the postponement of the
special session : "I fancy the Cabinet
is as much surprised as are you news
paper men. Until we met to-day we
supposed, or least a majority of us
did, that It was all settled. In fact,
it has been understood all along that
It was settled that Congress should
be called to meet June 4th, and we
expected to have the proclamation
submitted to-day calling it on that
day.” To a question how the sudden
change came about, he said: “The
President, you know, has been op
posed to an extra session all along;
so has Secretary Evarts—so has Sec
retary Sohurz. Mr. Wheeler has been
particularly adverse to having an ex
tra session oalled. The rest of us all
thought it could not be avoided.
The Secretary of War has been deol
dedly of this opinion ; and as
his Department was the one most
interested, all of us, Including
the President, have rather deferred
to him. The President, however,
has never entirely given up the Idea
that somehow it could be avoided,
and has broached the subject at each
Cabinet meeting. McCrary, however,
has always replied at once that he
oould not run his Department with
out an appropriation, and the mat
ter has always dropped there. To
the surprise of us all, the Secretary
of War announced that he was con
vinced that he could get along until
Ootober, should Congress be called
then. As soon as he announced this
the idea struck the President favora
bly at once, and the change was ef
fected in a twinkling. It was done
almost before we knew it. Secretary
Hherumn opposed the change most
strongly, but finally yielded.” Con
cerning the cause of McCrary's sud
den change of opinion the Postmas
ter-General said : “It came out that
before the Cabinet meeting McCrary,
who was anxious to carry out the
President’s desires if he could, called
his heads of Bureaus togetber and
held a sort of Cabinet meeting of his
own. During bis discussion with
them he asked the Paymaster
how it would be about pay.
The Paymaster replied that it was
customary to pay the troops once
in two months. There would be one
pay-day before the ciose of the pres
ent fiscal year, June 30th; that if
Congress was called in October only
one pay-day would have to be passed ;
that that was not an unusual event
either iu time of peace or war. The
result would be that if Congress met
in October, and passed the Apropria
tiou|Biil, the soldiers could then be
paid four months at onoe, as was not
unfrequently done. Meanwhile, if
any officers or men absolutely need
money, there are plenty of bankers
in New York willing to discount their
pay vouchers, a not uncommon oc
currence in the array. From the
heads of the bureaus of Transporta
tion, Subsistence, etc., the Secretary
learned what he knew before, that
the law allowed the Department to
make contracts for clothing, subsist
ence and transportation iu advance
of an appropriation. Being satisfied
on the pay question, and believing
the service would not suffer
if a number of officers should
take umbrage and resign, he fi
nally made up his mind that he
could get along until October, aud so
announced to the Cabinet.” To a
query as to whether this decision set
tled the matter, Key replied, laugh
ingly; “O, a law can always be re
pealed, you know, but I guess this
will stand.” Key reports Hayes as
much pleased with this decision,
which is in accordance with his earn
est desire; and Key adds that it is in
accordance with the urgent request
of many Congressmen and business
men throughout the country. His
attention being called to the fact
that the session was put off until just
after the Ohio campaign, Secretary
Key said: "Yes, that point was
mentioned in Cabinet, but the reply
was made that we can not consider
that—we must be above party poli
tics. So,” said Key, “we made it the
15th, so that Ohio men would not
have to come on here iu the heat of
the fight.”
AN ANULO-UIJMSIIAN WAR
How It will be Drought About.
Special to the New Orleans Democrat.]
Washington, May 4.— Diplomatic
authorities here regard the ultimate
involvement of Great Britain in the
Bussian-Turkish struggle as almost
a foregone conclusion. The most as
tute and far-sighted of these authori
ties to-day pointed out exactly how
and when England would be drawn
in. The theory is that Russia's ad
vance in Asiatic Turkey will be rapid
and that full Turkish authority in
Asia will be practically superseded
by Busslan military occupation; that
operations on the Danube, in Bulga
ria, will be prosecuted only to divert
tbe main Turkish army from Asia,
and that the Russians have no inten
tion of attacking Constantinople
from the European side.
As soon as the Russian forces over
run Asiatic Turkey, England will de
maod guarantees of immediate evac
uation in case the Porte consents to
treat for peace. This will begin a di
plomatic contest between Russia and
England, which must inevitably lead
to an Anglo-Russian war. Russia
would refuse to evacuate under the
pretense that the Christiana in Ar
menia and Syria must be proteet-d,
Tbe Russian occupation of Atiati j
Turkey would be regarded by all
classes of the British people as a me
nace to tbe integrity of the East In
dian Empire of such alarming pro
portions as to produce an overwhel
ming war feeling and compel the
Ministry to take decisive measures.
Uaddr these circumstances he
thought the war would be fought out
maiDdy in Asia, the English Govern
ment making ail possible use of her
East Indian army, which numbers
ofer 200,000 trained troops, of whom
nearly half nre Musselmans.

A riIANOE OF INDIAN POLICY.
Tin- Nlmix to be Removed to Ked River,
THE INDIANS TO WORK FOR THEIIt RA
TIONS.
[Bpoeil to the New Orleans Democrat.]
Washington, May s.—Considerable
modifications in the Indian policy
are contemplated by the Administra
tion.
Major General Crook, the celebrat
ed Indian campaigner, had a long
conference to-day with the Secretary
of the In erlor and the Commission
er of Indian Affairs, in regard to the
removal of the Sioux Agencies to the
Red river, and on the Indian ques
tion generally.
Secretary Schurz and Commission
er Smith entirely concur with Gener
al Crook in the view that the Indians
should be compelled to work for
their rations, and the conference to
day was with a view of ascertaining
how the labor of the Indians could
be utilized in the interest of both the
Indians and the Government.

NMremry wltrrmaii on the Finance*.
Special to Cincinnati Commercial.]
In conversation with reference to
the propositions in the Ohio and Illi
nois Legislatures making subsidiary
coin a legal tender, Secretary Sher
man said that he was not fully ad
vised with regard to the enactments,
but he was disposed to think that
they would have but little effect. Un
der the constitution. States are em
powered to make gold and silver, and
nothing else, legal tender, but Con
gress has the same power, with the
additional authority to define the rel
ative values of gold and silver. The
States cannot attempt to fix this rel
ative value. The constitution does
not permit them to do so. The effect
of these enactments will probably be
to induce the people in those States,
in making contracts for the payraeut
of money in Ohio and Illinois, to spe
cify gold or United States notes, in
stead of silver. These enactments
will necessarily be nugatory, even in
the States named. They cannot bavo
auy possible effect on the value of sil
ver. The courts willonforcecontracts
payable in gold or United States
notes, and as long as silver remains
below greenbacks in value, business
men will not accept contracts to be
paid in silver. The amount of sub
sidiary coin authorized to be issued
is fifty millions of dollars. Thus
limited, silver is of less value than
paper. If it were issued in a greater
quantity, so as to enable it to be used
as a legal tender in amounts in ex
cess of five dollars, the present limit
by Congressional enactment, it would
still further decrease in value;
The Secretary culled attention to
the fact that our bonds have been
less disturbed by the European war
than auy other securities, having
varied less than a half per cent.
Even English consols fluctuated in
value, while our bonds stood firm.
For a short time the sales fell off,
but within the past few days the de
mand in Europe has been increasing.
Juiin Pleufrtinian on Perfection.
Mr. Spurgeon, writing underpins sig
nature of John Ploughman, expresses
the following terse and homely views on
the subject of human perfection :
“He who boasts of being perfect is
perfect in folly. I have been a good
deal up and down in the world, and I
neither did see either a perfect horse or a
perfect man, and I never shall until two
Sundays come together. You cannot
get white flouroutof a eoal sack, nor per
fection out of human nature# he who
looks for it had better looff for sugar
in the sea. The old saying is, ‘Lifeless,
faultless. 1 Of dead men we should say
nothing but good, but as for the living,
they are ail tarred, more or less, with the
black brush, and half an eye can see it.
Every head lias a soft place in it, and
every heart has its black drop. Every
rose has its prickles, and every day its
night. Even the Bun shows spots, and
the skies are darkened with clouds. No
body is so wise hut has folly enough to
stock a stall at Vanity Fair. Where I
could not see the fool’s cap I have, never
theless, heard the bells jingle. As there
i6 no sunshine without some shadow, so
is all human good mixed up with more or
less evil; even poor law guardians have
their failings, and parish beadles are not
wholly of heavenly nature. The best
wine has its lees. All men’s faults are
not written on their foreheads, and it’s
quite as well they are not, or hats would
need wide brims; yet as sure as eggs are
eggs, faults of Borne tort nestle in every
man's bosom. There is no telling when
a man's sins may show themselves, for
hares pop out of a ditch just when you
are not looking for them. A horse that
is weak in the legs may not stumble for
a mile or two, but it's in bim, and the
rider had better bold him up well. The
tabby cat is not lapping milk just now,
but leave the dairy door open, and we
will see il she is not as bad a thief as the
kitten. There’s tire iu the flint, cool as
it looks; wait till the steel gets a knock
at it, aad you will see. Everybody can
read that riddle, bat it is not everybody
that will remember to keep his gunpow
der put of the way of the candle/’
Facing Death,
Brother Gardner was yesterday white
washing the back end of an old house
on Catharine street, when the staging
gave Way and he had a fall of about fif
teen feet. He was senseless when p ek
ed up, but a man poured about a gallon
of water down his back and brought him

“I do.”
“Den pay it— him’ it over. Do shock

principles, and will not allow auy of
their members to have any connection
with politics or political parties except as

posed is that in case of a strike by any
trade, tbe balance will stand by them to
assist, by their influence and money. A
meeting was held this evening, when it
was reported that the following Trades
Uuions had been visited, and bad con

When the practice of inoculation
was first introduced in Boston, in
1712, the House ot Representatives
passed a bill prohibiting it, and a
sermon was preached iQ Boston upon
this text: “So went Satan forth
from the presence of the Lord, and
smote Job with sore boils from the
sole of his foot unto his crown
from which the doctrine was deduced
that Job had the small-pox, and
Satan wag the first inoculator.
The comb is the hea’s pulse. If that
be strong and bright, and of a good
color and full of blood, shaking with
every quick movement of the bird in the
combed varieties, the bird is in normal
health and in a laying condition. When
the rim of the comb and wattles have a
purplish tinge, the bird is not well.
