WASHINGTON NEWS,
Southern Radical Office-
Seekers.
THEY ARE MAKING A KILKANNY-CAT FIGHT
NOT FIT TO HEAD THE “OLD LINE WHIG
NATIVE REPUBLICAN AND COL
OKED MAN'S PARTY."
— .. ■ —--
A PPOIXTM KXTS.
Washington, May is. The rival
Republicans for office in the South
are piling up charges against each
other. It needs no Democratic re
monstrance to exclude the present
set. If what they say of each other
is to be believed, not one of the pres
ent applicants is a fit person to hold
an office of honor, trust or profit.
The President is beginning to see but
two ways of disposing of Southern of
fices. One is, to give them to Demo
crats, and the other is to send down
new men from the North. The pres
ent Republicans of the South, native
and imported, cannot endure each
other, and promise to be a feeble
foundation upon which to construct
the proposed Old-line Whig Native
Republican and Colored Man’s Par
ty-
Key is about giving the post
office at Corinth, Miss., to Maj.
Jeff Wofford. Wofford was Chief of
Artillery to Gen. Stephen D. Lee,
while he fought in Mississippi.
How They Are Divided.
Special to N, O. Democrat.]
Washington, May iti. The recent
announcement that the Federal
patronage in the South would be
given exclusively to Republicans has
had the effect to divide Southern Re
publicans into three factions, carpet
baggers, scalawags and negroes,
each of which is largely represented
here by office-seekers, and the num
ber increases with every train. The
negroes and scalawags show a dispo
sition to coalesce against the carpet
baggers, particularly in Georgia,
Alabama and Tennessee, from which
States the largest delegations are
here at present.
The appointment ol Wickersbam
as Postmaster at Mobile, is the chief
object of attack just now, and char
ges of all sorts are pouring in against
him from the negroes and native
white Republicans of that State, who
seem to have coalesced to beat every
one of Spencer’s recommendations.

New York, May 18.—The Times
publishes an extract from a letter
from Hayes and Garfield, before the
Ohio Senatorial election, asking Gar
field to withdraw frem the Senatorial
contest. The President then express
ed his belief that Gen. Garfield’s
election as Speaker was probable,
and assured him of his willingness to
do all in bis power to accomplish
that result. Gen. Garfield, upon the
receipt of this letter, sent a telegram

THE WAR IN ASIA.
Russians Repulsed at Ardahan and Kars.
Charges Ineffectual Against the Nee
dle Gun.
London, May 18.—Reuter’s dis
patch, dated May 15th, says; An at
tack of the Russians on Ardahan has
been bravely repulsed by the Turks.
The Times' Berlin dispatch says:
The Russian movement of concentra
tion upon Kars from Poti, Akhaltzik,
Alexander, Poland and Irwan, Ims
come to a standstill a few marches
from the frontier. The delay is partly
occasioned by the necessity of estab
lishing stores for vletually troops on
Turkish soil, and partly by the Rus
sian Generals recognizing the change
effected in conditions of warfare by
the universal adoption of the Deedle
gun. An attack in massed columus,
such as the Russians undertook the
otherday near Batoum, was in former
time, as a rule, successful. Now any
such featsareout of the question, the
needle gun. even in Turkish hands,
not admitting of storming columns
being formed at a distance. Yet it is
expected that the Russians will find
it difficult to change old systems of
tactics, and if this is correct, they
will have chiefly to rely upon artil
lery.
It is intended to establish a sort of
mutual insurance company against
Turkish shells in Russian seaport
towns.
London, May 18. — A special to the
Telegraph from Erzerouud, May 17th,
the Russians have just attempted to
bombard Kars with four heavy siege
guns. They miscalculated the range ;
their shots flew over the town without
auy damage. Kars replied briskly.
The assailants were compelled to
retire, but subsequently again at
tempted the erection of siege works.
Moukhtar Pas haw lias lost some
munitions iu consequence of having
been suudenly attacked in the

An advance of 2,500 Circassians

London, May 18.—The Russians are
falling back from Kars.'
The Kurds aud Caucassians are ad
vancing on the Russians left from
Van and Erivor.
A Batoum correspondent says rifles
and men are being rapidly embarked
for the Caucassian coast from this
garrison, which is now strong
enough not to fear t.be Russian col
umns recently defeated with such
terrible loss,
A Russian oflicial dispatch from
Tiiiio, 17th, says, while Gen. Roman
off was reconnoiteriug before Kars,
on the lGth inst., the Turks attacked
the Russian Circular Cavalry. After
a stubborn fight the Turks left 64
dead on the field. Two persons were
captured. The Russian loss was one
officer and 20 men killed, aud 5 offi
cers and 54 wounded. Among tho
wounded was Maj. Gen. Tschelakaiff,
commanding a brigade of Doghestan
cavalry.

London, May 18. —The Russian
army corps at Odessa lias been sent
to the Crimea to prevent the spread
of tho Tartar insurrection—many
accompanying the Turks to Caueas

sians themselves, they intend going
down once more to Adrianople, and
having got there, to iuform the pow
ers that having accomplished their
task, they now call upon Europe to
consult upon what should be done
next.
The same correspondent, discus
sing a report that England is endeav
oring to induce Roumania to fix a
limit to military aperations, says it
is not thought impossible that Count
Schonvaloff may endeavor to induce
the Russian Government to give
such assurances about its ultimate
designs as may serve to allay as
much as possible all apprehensions
regarding them that have arisen in
England ; but it is very much doubt
ed that the way of doing this will be
an attempt to fix a line of demarca
tion to military operations.

FRANCE AND HER NEW CRISIS
THE .N EW MIXINTBY IN FULL.
GRAVITY OF THE SITUATION.
- ——
London, May 18.— The Standard's
Berlin dispatch says the good under
standing lietweeen France and Ger
many will be seriously endangered
should the celerical party attain
power in France,
Paris, May 18.— MacMahon has
announced his Cabinet, composed
entirely of new material. Duke De-
Broglio Is chief; M. Fourton, Minis
ter of the Interior, is suspected of a
strong Napoleonic tendency, and
understands the mauugement of
election.
Paris. May 18, 5 :80.—A message
from President MacMahon has just
been read in the Chamber, prorogu
ing the sitting one month.
Paris, May 18. —The Duke DeCoses
received all the ambassadors yester-.
day. He found among them a most.
unfavorable impression. Not one i
approved of what iiad passed, al- 1
though some, perhaps, proposed a
little sympathy for the Republican
system. On all hands it was feltcer- j
tain that the public opinion of Eu
ropo would be painfully struck. The
Broglie Ministry was appointed in
fulfillment of a threat uttered
by President MacMahon, that if
the Left passed their order of the
day, which they did adopt yesterday,
declaring that the Chamber will on
ly place confidence in a cabinet free
to, and to resolve to govern in accor
dance with Republican principles,
which alone cun secure order an
prosperity, he would immediately
form a ministry from tho Right.
Relative to Mr. Gambetta’s speech
in the Chamber of Deputies yseter
day, tiie correspondent says: Never
did the chief of the Radical party
display greater or more over-power
ing eloquence; never did he obtain
such applause; the Right maintaing
a silent and dismayed attitude. Only
from having heard this speech, and
being present at the scene, could any
one understand bow much the earn
estness of the situation added to tiie
orator’s habitual eloquence.
London, May 18.—The News’ Berlin
correspondent telegraphs as follows;
Trie development of the Ministerial
crisis in France is watched here with
very keen interest. It is universally
supposed M. Simon’s fall is the result
of an Ultramontane intrigue. If this
should prove to be the case, the effect
upon the relations between France
and Germany may be very grave. It
is an exceedingly hezardous experi
ment for the Right of Versailles to
begin such a movement pending the
adoption of important military meas
ures by the German Government.
This opinion is publicly expressed
here, with very little reserve.
Paris, May 18.—The new minsters
is gazetted as follows: Tho Duke
Deßroglie, President of Council and
Minister of Justice; M. DeFourton,
minister of the Interior; M. Eugene
Callioux, Minister of Finance; M.
Auguste Paris, minister of Public
works; Viscount Devean, Minister of
Agriculture; M. Bruhuet, Minister,
of Public instructios; M. Barthane,
Minister of'War; the Due DeOazes,
Minister of Foreign Affairs.
PRESIDENT MCMAHON EXPLAINS HIS
dilemma and motives.
London, May 18.—The second
edition of tho Times ha.s a Paris dis
patch, stating that the Due De Gazes
will accept the Foreign office, and
Vice Admiral Gamaut will be ap
pointed Minister of Marine. It is
presumed the Chamber of Deputies
to-day will reply by a vote of defiance,
which tnay lead to a prorogation and
dissolution, if the consent of the Sen
ate can be obtained.
Versailles, May 18.—A message
from President McMahon has just
been read in both Chambers. The
President explains that he scrupu
lously conformed to the constitution
al Defranse and Simon Cabinets,
chosen in accord with a majority of
the Chamber, but they were unable
to unite sufficient support to guaran
tee good government.
The President continues: I could
not make a further step in the same
path, without making an appeal to
the Radical factions which desire a
modification of our institutions. My
conscience an J patriotism do not per
mit me to associates myself with
the triumphs of these ideas
which can only result in dis
order and in the humiliation
of France. As long as I retain the
depositary of power, I shall use it
within legal limits to prevent such
results—which would be the ruin of
the country. The triumph of such
theories was not contemplated when,
at the last election, all the candidates
availed themselves of my name. If
the country were now interrogated,
it would reject such construction. I
am firmly resolved to respect and
maintain existing institutions until
1880. I might propose modifications
but I propose nothing of the kind.
In order to allow emotions to calm,
I invite you to suspend sittings one
month. You can then discuss the
budget. Meantime we shall main
tain public peace, suffer nothing at
home to compromise it, and notwith
standing the agitation in a portion of
Europe, I am confident we shall
maintain it abroad, thanks to our
good relations with all the powers
and our policy of neutrality and ab
stention. On this point all parties
are agreed—the new Cabinet thinks
like the old. If any imprudence in
utterance on the part of the pres?
threatens to compromise tho concord
we all desire, I shall repress it by
legal means. To prevent this, how
ever, I appeal to that patriotism
which is lacking in no class in
France.

A Prehistoric Illy.
Correspondence ot New York Sun.)
Lake City, Col., May 6.
Prof. Hayden has given Southwestern
Colorado anew interest by discovering
and describing the ancient ruins in that
section, and in Southwestern Utah.
The stories told about these ruins arc
very interesting. The fertile valley of
the AnimaH was densely inhabited and
highly cultivated by an enlightened race
of people centures ago. Theruiusof the
houses, corrals, towns, fortifications, dilch
es, pottery ware, drawings, non-interpre
table writings, etc., show that many arts
werecultivaied by these prehistoric peo
pie which are now entirely lost. Their
houses were built of most every kind of
stone, from small boulders to the finest
sandstone.
The finest of these ruins, and the near
est perfect, are situated about thirty-five
miles below Animas City, in a large val
ley fifteen miles long by seven wide, on
the west side of the river. This valley
has been covered with buildings of every
size, the two largest being 300x600 feet,
and about 300 feet apart. They are built
of blocks of sandstone, laid in adobe
mud, the outside walls being four feet,
and the inside walls from a foot and a
half to three feet thick In the lower
story are found portholes a foot square
There are rooms now left and walls for
about four stories high still standing.
About the second story, on the west side,
there was once a balcony along the length
of the building. No signs of a door are
visible in the outer walls, and the ingress
must have been from the top, in the inside
there being passage from room to room.
Most of them are small, from Bxlo to 12x
14 feet, the doors being portholes are
made of small cedar polos two
inches wide, placed across, on which
the masonry is placed. The sleepers sup
porting the floors are of cedar, about
eight inches thick, and from twenty to
fifty feet long, and about three feet apart.
A layer of small round poles was then
placed across the sleepers, then a layer
of thinly-slit cedar sticks, then about
three inches of earth, then a layer of cedar
bark, then another layer of dirt, then a
carpet of somejkind of coarse grass. The
rooms that have been protected frem ex
posure are whitewashed, and the walls
arc ornamented with drawings and writ
j mgs. In one of these rooms the impres
j sion of a hand dipped in whitewash on a
joist is as plain as if it had been done on
ly yesterday. In another room there are
drawings of tarantulas, centipedes, horses
and men.
In some of the rooms have been found
human bones, bones of sheep, corn-cobs,
goods, rawhides, and all colors, and va
ries of pottery ware. These two large
| buildings arc exactly the same in every
! respect. Portions of the buildings plain
| )y show that they were destroyed by fire,
the timbers being burned off and tiie roof
caved in, leaving the lower room entirely
protected. The rocks that these buil
ding were built of must have been
brought a long way, as nothing to com
pare with it can be found within a radius
iof twentr miles. Ail the timber used
iis cedar, and has been brought at least
twenty miles. Old ditches and roads are
. to be seen in every direction.
The Navajo Indians say in regard to
j these ruins, that the forefathers came
there five old mens ages ugo (500 years,)
and that these ruius were here, and the
same then as now, and there is no record
whatever of their origin.
t WATER WONDfcM.
A BALTIMOREAN’S ASTONISHING INVEN
TION PROPELLED WITHOUT
WHEELS OR SCREW,
From the Baltimore Gazette,]
About three years ago an intelli
gent mechanic of Baltimore began to
put into shape some ideas lie had
uoucerniug water as a propelling
power for vessels. He believed that
by judicious manipulation a boat
ooulil bo propelled without a wheel
or screw. With an inventor’s sublime
faith iu the correctness of his theory,
he gave his spare moments to putting
his ideus into practical form. He
built a model and launched her in a
trough. He “fired up” with kero
sene aud raised steam to work
his pump. The experiment with
the working model satisfied the
inventor that he was on the
right track. But between that
model aud the trim little Alpha,
which fell down the bay on her trial
trip yesterday, there was a wide gulf
of ho|>o, disappointment, hat'd work
and expectation. At 1 o’clock yes
terday afternoon Mr. Geo. G. Cald
well, tiie inventor: Cap. Jeremiah
Cotterell, master; Mr. John Ahern,
business ageut.and Mr. Win. Warren,
wtio has aided Mr. Caldwell, went on
board at the Long dock, accom
panied by representatives of the
press.
The Alpha is a Baltimore-built,
boat, constructed on tho tugboat
model, and as neat a thing of the
kind as there is afloat. She is forty
three feet in length, and has ten and
a half feet of beam. She is furnished
with one sixteen-horse power hori
zontal tubular boiler, and a No. 7
Knowles pump. From the pump to
the stern are two lines of pipe, which
strike the water about three feet be
neath the surface. Two similar lines
run to the bow. The pump
drives through each pipe a
two and a half inch stream, which
enters the water through a 7-8
inch nozzle. With sixty pounds of
steam the pump makes 180 strokes
to tiie minute, each stroke driving
a stream into the body of water.
This is all there is about this won
derful device. And yet, under all
the disadvantages of a trial trip, this
was the device which yesterday ena
bled the Alpha to make ten knots an
hour under sixty pounds pressure.
There was not a ripple a9tern, aud
no perceptible displacement of the
water, except the little made by the
cutting of tiie bow. She was backed
and turned with perfect ease. To
back tiie boat the stream is driven
through the bow nozzles and the
craft obeys on the instant. If the
bow were to spring aleak, the pump
would simply draw its supply from
the hold and go on with its work. It
isclaiined that a vessel provided with
this appliance could not sink under
ordinary leakage. For prudential
reasons there were no experiments
in this line yesterday.
A remarkable feature of the Cald
well contrivance is mat the power
which propels will also steer. To
accomplish this, the nozzles are work
ed alternately from tne side, using
streams as levers, on the principle of
the oar. There is yet another use to
which this device can be applied. In
ease of lire on board or about the
docks, a line of hose is attached to
the pump, and in a second there is
a floating steam engine which could
at least hold its own with anything
on wheels. The Inventor claims that
hi 9 device can be profitably applied
to auy vessel, although it is mainly
intended for canal service, where the
demand is for a cheap propeller that
will not wash the banks.
Mr. Caldwell declares that both the
first and after cost of his invention
will be far less than that of anything
now in use. The entire driving ap
paratus is below, and no part of it
could be carried away by accident or
design. The whole thing is so
simple that there is not much to get
out of order, and nothing that could
not easily be repaired. The attempt
of the British Government in 1866 to
apply water as a propelling power to
vessels, is the only similar effort
within our knowledge. Ttie “Water
Witch” was propelled by streams
forced out at the sides, a rotary fan
supplying the power. Tho “Water
Witch” achieved a failure and retired
from business. Mr. Caldwell’s inven
tion has been patented in Europe, as
well as in this country. Of its merit
it can onlv be said that it works and
performs its task. It is something
to know that the whole affair is a
Baltimore enterprise in the hands of
Baltimoreans.
THE INDIANS IN TEXAS.
SEVERAL CONFLICTS BETWEEN THE HUNT
ERS AND THE REDSKINS.
St. LouiH Republican.]
Leavenworth, Kan,, May 11. —The
Indian troubles wnieh have been in
existence in the Pan-Handle of Tex
as for some months past are gradual
ly drawing to a close through the de
termined efforts of the troops and
the huuters, who have been making
it hot for the reds in that region for
some time past. The Apaches in
that section had been murdering
and robbing with impunity, attack
ing wagon trains and stray bands of
hunters whenever opportunity offer
ed, and committing other highhand
ed outrages. At first the aid of the
military was not called into requisi
tion, as the hunters in the Pan-Han
dle, who number some five hundred,
believed they could keep the savages
in check; but the depredations at
last became so numerous and bold,
that the troops were called for, and
four companies of soldiers were sent
there to enforce quiet. Previous to
the arrival of the troops several san
guinary skirmishes occurred between
the reds and hunters; and the latter,
being largely in the minority, almost
invariably came out second bent. In
a single skirmish that took place not
very long ago, it was reported that
fifteen hunters were killed—-loss of
the savages not being known. The
town of Double Mountain was fre
quently threatened, but a sufficient
force was always kept there to insure
it against an attack.
How Cavalry Can Irma Ilronci lllvers.
Oalignani states that Lieutenant
Zuboviiz, of the Austrian army,
whose ride from Vienna to Paris may
be remembered, has just peiformed
the exploit of crossing the Danube at
the former city, where the river is
very wide, mounted on a horse pro
vided with a floating apparatus of
which ho is the inventor. Although
the water was very high, M. Zu
bovltz would not be dissuaded from
making the trial, and rode on to the
quay at about four iu the afternoon.
The India-rubber air reservoirs
which were to keep the horse afloat
were attached to tho saddle on each
sido. Tho rider wore an ordinary
hunting-dress with high waterproof
boots, aud did not carry with him
any life-saving apparatus. The ani
mal at flrst refused to enter the river,
but the rider soon overcame his re
sistance and he plunged in, and sank
until only bis head was left above
the surface. The crowd, who lined
the quays and had been looking on
anxiously, called to him to return,
but he spurred on, und, carried away
by the current, was soon in the mid
dle of the stream, rising and sinking
with the swell. At last, seven min
utes after leaving the right bank, be
touched the left side under the arch
of the bridge and was received with
loud cheers. Ho was immediately
driven to a neighboring hotel to
change his clothes, while his orderly
gave the horse a sharp gallop to
warm it after its bath. The object
of this experiment was to show that
with this apparatus wide rivers may
be orossed by cavalry without bridges
or fords.

Didn’t Want no Foolin. —No one
but those who have traveled much in the
Weft have any idea of how rapidly a
sprightly dining room girl at one of the
hotels can repeat anunpriuted bill of fare.
Not long since in a neighboring town, a
reporter for this paper was called up to be
ready for an out-going coach. Seated at
the same table with him was a young
man of some twenty summers, about six
feet two and evidently not used to being
away from home; his face was the picture
of honesty as he sat with his coat sleeves
at least six inches too short, waiting to be
served. Bretty soon the girl came round
and facing him said : Beefsteak-porksteak
mutton-cbop-sausage?” The astonished
boarder replied: “Marm?’’ The girl re
peated: “Beefsteak-porksteak-muttonchop
sausage?” This second torrent of words
was too much for the comprehension of
the rustic, and he indignantly blurted
out: “Now look here, young woman, I
pay my money for hash here, and I don’t
want any foolin’. So bring me some
thing to eat in short order.” The girl
obeyed. -Denver Democrat.
