Washington, May 21.—Treasury

account of a reduction of force, has a
good prospect of reinstatement.
There is a row brewing in the P. O.
Department. It is estimated that
Tyner is not running the machine in
the interest of his chief’s popularity
or continuance in office. Two or three

which are mildly represented as fool

The profit in furnishing postal

said, iu careless inspection, the work

contract made a few days ago is with

Mr. Hayes replied, referring to the
desirability of fellowship in all the
departments of life and duty. He
spoke at length of other branches ol
the church in former years; of the
recent coming together of the divided
sects, and of the moral power of un

from Baltimore and the visit of the

messages from these people.
POSTAL RING.
The charge that there was a postal
card ring in the Postoffice Depart
ment is found upon inquiry of Post
master General Key to have, in his
opinion, no foundation in truth. A
semi-official statement of the details
of the transaction is furnished, fully
sustaining the Postmaster General’s
association. The statement is quite
long. In the case of Jacob Itehm, of
Chicago, the Secretary declines to
interfere until the matter has

holds, is the proper time to come to

Fierce Fighting at Ardahan
and Kars.

TI KE OK Alt I>A IIA \.
Lsndon. May 21.—A Russian offi
cial bulletin dated 17th, claims the
capture of Ardahan, with sixty guns
and immense stores. The bulletin
says the Russian loss is believed to
be one officer, fifty soldiers killed,
and forty officers and oue hundred
aud eighty soldiers wounded.
The Telegraph's special from Erzc
roum, Saturday, describing the llrst
attacks in Ardahan, says :: “The ef
forts of the Russians commenced
with a heavy artillery lire, which
was as hotly returned. This was fol
lowed by impetuous infantry attacks,
which were repulsed every time,
with great slaughter. Under orders
apparently to obtain success some
where or other, at any cost, troops
were led back to the assault after
each failure, until night stopped the
carnage.
From Kara wo have intelligence
that yesterday the Russians attacked
the outer lines with a furious deter
mination, having preceded their at
tempt by a heavy but ill-directed
cannonade from the siege artillery.
The powerful guns in the Turkish
batteries replied with better effect.
The duel was vigorously maintained
till the Russians brought up columns
of infantry as close as they dared to
the fortifications, apparently pur
posing if possible to tako the
place by storm. The Ottoman
commander observing this, drew
together a large body of troops bo
niud the ramparts, and launched a
tremendous sortie upon the Russian
dank rear, under the shock of which
the enemy were obliged to retreat
into a disadvantageous position. A
bloody engagement followed at close
quarters, and at its termination the
Russians were obliged to retreat
beaten, leaving on the field three
hundred corpses and a large number
wounded.
There was slight encounter mean
time between cavalry without any
special result.
The Circassians wdio landed at
lokum Kaieh have arrived at capi
tal of the Abohasian country. The
Abchasians are afraid to join them.
London, May 21.—The Telegraph’s
lispatch from Batoum dated Satur
lay a. m., says the Russian forces
here, after makings great show of
warlike intentions yesterday, con
sented themselves with a harmless
irtillery duel. The fact was the
enemy had sent off 15 battalions in
the direction of Sukum-kolch in the
hope of arresting insurrection, which
spread from that centre.
The defences of Batoum are quite
unimpaired and position leaves
nothiug to desire.
The issue of the next assault is
looked upon as a pretty certain vic
tory for the Sultan.
The Times’ Vienna correspondent
reports thousands of workmen have
been sent to repair the railways
iamaged by Hoods in Moldavia. It
is hoped that communication will be
re-established in a few days : still in
terruption in so complicated a busi
ness as the advance of a large army
must needs be felt in every direction,
trid cannot but retard considerably
the commencement of active opera
tions. It looks like anticipations of
such delay that the Czar’s arrival at
Pioiesti, which was first announced
for May 25th, is now spoken of as
likely to happen June 6th.
Ardahan, like all other old citadels
on the Asiatic frontier, is surrounded
by heights commanding it within
easy artillery range. These heights
had been fortified, but when they
were once taken, as seems to have
been the case at Ardahan, the for
tress itself would become untenable,
fhe Turks did the best they could —
namely, to withdraw the garrison of
eleven battalions and effect a junc
tion with Muhktar Pasha in tho di
rection of Erzeroum.
The danger is that the Russians in
the neighborhood of Kars, may way
lay the retreating force if they at
tempt to pass that way. But there
is another and much more difficult
mountain road through the valley of
the Deera to the valley of the Olti,
which the retreating Turks will prob
ably take. The fall of Arduhan
is considerable advantage to the Rus
sians.

KVBI.A N I'S I*REPARATION'S IN
INDIA..
Russian Intrigues In THIn Country.
Special to N. O. Democrat.]
Washington, May 18.—The infor
mation sent m tnese dispatches two
nights ago concerning the situation
in Europe, based on the statements
made to your correspondent by an
eminent diplomatic authority, is
verified with singular fidelity by the
London dispatches of to-day. The
mobilization of the Anglo-Indian
forces has been going on quietly for
some time, but all disguises are now
thrown off, and it has been semi-offl
eially published in London that the
entire Mohammedan contingent in
Hindoostan is ready for foreign ser
vice.
This means, that the entire Sepoy
force of the Bombay presidency, to
gether with the Sikh forces in the
Punjaub and Scinde, are ready to
move northward into the newly con
quered Russian possessions in Turk
istan, or to be transferred by sea to
Asia Minor. This is the most signi
ficant indication of England’s inten
tion that has yet transpired.
The Bamo diplomatic authority
whence informatfon previously given
in these dispatches has been derived,
says that the selection of Moham
medan troops, solely for this service,
proves conclusively that England
intends to appear in the conflict in
the Asiatic role of a great Moham
medan power.
He says the Mussel mans in Hindus
tan number about 56,000,000, and oc
cupy a middle ground of power be
tween the English and the Hindoos.
The Anglo-Indian army, according to
latest returns, contains about 285,000
troops, of whom something like 120,-
000 are available for service in the
present conflict. The remainder is
made up of Sepoys of the Bengal and
Madras presidencies, who are mainly
Brahmans in religion, and will not
be used in this war; but the Moham
medan troops are infinitely superior
to the Hindoos, or Brahmins, both in
courage and capacity to endure the
hardships of campaigning in more
northerly climes.
My informant states that he has
not the slightest doubt of Disraeli’s
intention to bring on a crisis in rela
tion with Russia at once, and says
that England is now ready to occupy
Constantinople with 55,000 or 50,000
British troops, and throw upwards of
100,000 well-trained East Indian
troops into Asia Minor on very short
notice.
The same authority makes some
curious assertions as to Russia’s in
trigues in this country. He mentioned
| tho violent Russian tone of the New
{ York Herald aud Times, and then
j added : “Tho tone of the Herald is
j not inspired by any sympathy with
I the Russians as against the Turks,
! but is designed to promote anti-
British feeling in this country, in
I pursuance of a Russian iutrigue
which has for its object nothing less
| than to bring about a rupture be
tween Great Britain aud the United
Htates tn the event of hostilities be
tween the Russian government and
the former power. “I predict, most
confidently,” said ho, iu conclusion,
“that within thirty days after the
declaration of war between England
and Russia, these same journals will
be advocating the seizure of Canada
by the Uuitud States. To promote
and encourage this intrigue has been
the busines of the Grand Dukes dur
ing their stay in this country, and
the Russian Minister, Shinkin, has
been doing what you Americans
call the “leg work of the job.”
This statement is given out from
English sources iu this city, and
comes from the man who is specially
delegated by the British government
to watch the Russian intrigues in
this country. Buell.

States Circuit Court, on Friday
granted the motion of the attorneys
of tho Western Union Telegraph
Company, restraining the A. & I’.
Cos. from further proceedings “uutil
the further orders of the U. S. Circuit.
Court at Mobile.” Tho facts of the
proceedings as developed in the U.
8. Court, are: That tho A. &P. Tel
egraph Company have commenced
proceedings in Jefferson county, at
Birmingham, before Judge of Pro
bate Morrow, to show cuuse why the
right of way of tho A. &C. should
not be condemned for the use of the
A. & P., and the case was to have
been heard yesterday.
After able argument by Gen. Mor
gan and Judge Rice for tho motion,
and Major H. C. Semple for the A. &
P. Company, Judge Bruce granted
the motion, amounting in effect to
an injunction against the now com
pany, and restraining it from all
further proceedings, for the present,
so far as the A. & C. is concerned.
This is an important decision, aside
from the fact of the injunction,
showing, as it does, that the immor
tal A. & C. is still in court.
The case of the A. & P. vs. the

HE STEPS DOWN AND OUT.
St. Louis, May 18.—The Globe-
Democrat has a special from Hanni
bal, Mo., which gives an account of
a very unpleasant church scandal
there. It says: “Rev. Mr. West,
Superintendent of Congregational
churches in Missouri, came here a
fewdays ago and communicated the
fact to certain brethren that he had
received some damning proofs about
the past record of Rev. J. Foster,
pastor of the Congregational church
here, and his immediate resignation
should be demanded. He exhibited
documents to show conclusively that
Foster bad five living wives, from
none of whom he had been di
vorced ; that b - had married them to
get their mouey and then deserted
them; that he had led a wild and
dissolute life, and had used other
and equally improper means to be
guile people of tbeir .means, Foster
was immediately confrouted with
these charges, lie admitted that he
had had three wives, but claimed to
have been divorced from them ; that
he bad led a dissolute life up to two
years ago, when he was converted,
and he argued that he could' not be
held responsible for things he bad
done before his change of spirit.
The brethren decided that be must
resign, and promised that if he would
there would bo no publicity. This,
after some hesitation and pleading,
Foster consented to do, and last Sun
day preached his last sermon, and
to-day his connection with the
church eased entirely.
|AN INTERVIEW WITH HENDRICK*.
By a Reporter of the Cincinnati Enquirer.)
Indianapolis, May 16.—* * I was
received in the Ex-Governor’s pro
verbially cordial style, aud invited
iuto the parlor, whicli he how uses
as a library. My mission was imme
mediately made known, when Mr,
Hendricks said he was now iu the
j habit of deoliuing to be iuterviewed.
I suid I kuew the Enquirer readers
would like to know something of his
j trip to California, of his views of the
political situatiou over there, &c.
"I haven’t any particular views to
express ou the political situation,”
was the reply. “I went to California
partly ou business, but mainly for
recuperation and pleasure, and have
returned feeling amply rapid for | he
trip. While in California I weut
with a party down the new Pacific
Southern Railroad a distance of eight
hundred miles. This railroad, run
ning from San Francisco to the Col
orado river, has opened up a beauti
ful and rich agricultural county, aud
will facilitate the Uevelopement of
the Arizona silver mines.
“From your observations in Cali
fornia could you judge as to how the
Republican new departure is being
received ?”
“I paid very little attention to poli
tics. You know the people over
there are ju3t now considerably in
terested iu the choice of anew Leg
islature, which shall choose a suc
cessor to United States Senator
Sargeant. They are not discussing
the policy of Hayes very much. So
far as I could judge, however, the
same feeling among Republicans ob
tains there that is manifest on this
side the Mississippi. Some are
pleased, others placidly resigned to
the new policy, and others are out iu
open revolt.”
“How does the Democracy view
the matter V”
“Just as they do here iu this State,
in Ohio, and all over the country.
They can not comprehend how
Nichols, receiving less votes than
Tilden, can be recognized as the le
gitimate Governor of Louisiana. The
recognition, though perfectly right,
hardly consists withformerdecisions,
and the Democrats are naturally in
dignant over the matter.”
“Then you are not very apprehen
sive of any split iu the Democracy ?”
“Notatall. The policy adopted by
Hayes in regard to the South is iden
tical with that foreshadowed by Til
den. Mr. Hayes saw what the coun
try demanded. He saw that the peo
ple were uneasy,that they were galled
by a military yoke, and that they
were not likely to submit to this yoke
much longer.”
"Then you think that Mr. Hayes’
policy is not a voluntary one, but
that he was virtually oampelled to
withdraw the troops?”
“I would not put it just that way.
I don’t think Hayes was uuder any
compulsion in the matter. He saw
what must come sooner or later, and
in making the beleagured States once
more free he simply anticipated
events. But the movement will in no
way, I think, tend to conciliate the
Democrats. They will feel the wrong
that has been done them just as
keenly notwithstanding the justice,
long delayed, done in the South.”
“Are you looking for any division
in the fight for the Speakership?”
“None whatever. I have given no
weight to the rumors which have cir
ciliated extensively that there has
been buying and trading in the Dem
ocratic ranks. The future will dem
onstrate that in the coming fights, il
fights there are to be, the Democracy
will stand together.”
“Did you find that the financial
question was being agitated on the
Pacific Slope ?”
“Not as it has been in Indiana and
Ohio. Tho people over there are very
anxious for the remonetization of
sliver. I think this feeling is pretty
general over the country. And sil
ver, no doubt, would be remonetized
were it not for the opposition to the
measure found among the Republi
can leaders.”
"Do you anticipate a financial fight
in Ouio this fall V”
“I haven’t kept much run of Ohio
polities of late, aDd am unable to
answer that question. Myown ideas
of specie payment are that, so soon
as our commerce is restored to its
former position, paper and coin will
become equal. Already there is a
foreign demand for our breadstuff’s—
a demand caused by the war. This
increased demand will necessarily In
crease the quantity of gold in the
country. Tho result is apparent. Let
me see, what officers do you elect in
Ohio this fall ?”
“A Governor and a Legislature,
which will choose Stanley Matthews’
successor.”
“Indeed! I was under the impres
sion that your Governor was elected
for three years. Who are the prom
inent candidates for the office? I
suppose Governor Young will make
the race on the Republican side?”
The Commissioner acquiesced in
the supposition, and suggested Judge
Taft ami Howland as the other as
pirants for the Gubernatorial honors,
when Mr. Hendricks wanted to know
who was looming up on the Demo
cratic side. Among the names men
tioned in reply was that of Judge
Hoadly. The information was a
signal for a strong eulogy from Mr.
H, on the gentleman named. He be
lieved he would make a formidable
candidate.
The representative of tho Enquirer
then gently broached tho Senatorial
subject, wbich, your readers will re
member was editorially touched
upon a few weeks since, and on
which Mr. Henderson, of Indian
apolis, wrote a card. Mr. Hendricks
appeared a little nettled at the men
tion of this matter, and said :
“I;don’t think the Enquirer has any bu
siness meddling with an Htfair like that.
We people of Indiana feel amply capable
of managing our own affairs. I saw the
editoral and Mr. Henderson’s answer
when in California, and I heartily indors
ed his answer. lam not, nor have I ever
been, a candidate for the Senate since the
State was gerrymandered for the purpose
of defeating me. i would not be apt to want
the position afit-r consenting to the use
of my name at St Louis. You may say
that I stand by Mr. Henderson’s card,
j and that I am not a candidate for the Hen-
I ate.”
A few' casual remarks were then ex
| changed concerning the baauties and
I healthfulness of Indianapolis. Mr. Hen-
I ilricks remarked that he and Mrs. Hen
! dricks were to start for London and Paris
i on the first of next month, to be gone dur
| lng the summer, and then the commis
j sioner withdrew.
