the Chisolm tragedy, says that the !
utmost quiet prevailed, and be had ;
assurance that an extra term of the
court would be held, that the affair
might have early judicial investiga
tion ; and he shows that there was no
necessity for troops to protect any
body after the infortunate occur
rence ; that there was no danger of
any mob, and it was folly to mix up
military and civil law under the
circumstances.
It is thought to-day’s Cabinet j

THE MEXICAN RAIDS.
44*n. Ord Authorised to Cross the llorders
War Department, 1
Washington, June Ist, 1877. J
General:-- The report of W. M.
Hhafter, Lieutenant Colonel 24th In
fantry, commanding the District of
the Nueces, Texas, for concerning
recent raids by Mexicans and Indians
from Mexico into Texas, for maraud
ing purposes, with your endorsement
of the 20th instant, has been sub
mitted to the President, and has, to
gether with numerous other reports
and documents relating to the same
subject, been duly considered. The
President desires that the utmost
vigilance on the part of the military
forces in Texas be exercised for the
suppression of these raids. It is very
desirable that efforts to this end, in
so far at least as they necessarily in
volve operations on both sides of the
border, be made with the co-opera
tion of the Mexican authorities, and
you will instruct Gen. Ord, com
manding in Texas, to invite sueh co
operation on the part of the local
Mexican authorities, and to inform
them that while the President is
anxious to avoid giving offence to
Mexico, he is nevertheless convinced
that the invasion of our territory by
armed and organized bodies of
thieves and robbers to prey upon
our citizens should not be longer en
dured.
Gen. Ord will at once notify the
Mexican authorities along the Texas
border of the great desire of the Pres
ident to unite with them in efforts to
suppress the long continued lawless
ness. At the same time he will in
form those authorities that if the
Government of Mexicosballeoutinue
to neglect the duty of suppressing
these outrages, the duty will devolve
upon this Government, and will be
performed, even if its performance
should render necessary the occa
sional crossing of the|border by our
troops.
You will therefore direct Gen. Ord
that in case the lawless incursions
continue, he will be at liberty, in the
use of his own discretion, when in
pursuit of a band of the marauders,
and when his troops are either in j
sight of them or upon a fresh trail,
to follow them across the Bio Grande,
aDd to overtake and punish them, as
well as retake stolen property taken
from our citilzens and found in their
hands on the Mexican side of the
line.

London, June I.—lt is rumored that
the Roumanians are bombarding
Adalais, which is under water.
Temps says the Russian reply to
' England, to be dispatched, is said to
be very conciliatory.
The Times’ Paris correspondent
, says: According to a letter from Rus
| sia, emanating from a very trust
worthy source, Prince Gortschakoff
accompanies the Czar to Ploiesti to
prevent Servia from being involved
in the war. Gortschakoff fully esti
mates the capital importance of the
| attitude Servia is now attaining, and
i does not wish to übandon this deli
. eate question to purely military man
agement. But there is certainly no
other motive for the chancellor’s
journey.
It seems probable Russia will at
tempt a rapid moveon Rustchuk.and
then propose peace after a signal
victory.
Gortschakoff, of course, wishes to
be at the Emperor’s side should this
occur, for if Russia accepts peace on
the basis of the reforms proposed by
the conference, she wilt probably
wish to act in a thoroughly formal
manner, by placing the peace reforms
under the protection of the dignita
ries of the protocol.
London, June I.—The Telegraph’s
Orsova dispatch gives the following
details concerning peace rumors : It. j
is believed by many well-informed [
people at Bucharest that the Russians ;
are somewhat anxious to negotiate
ttirough Berlin for some arrange
ment that would obviate the necessity |
of crossing the Danube, having con- j
vinced themselves that the enterprise j
Is fraught with sacrifices, and that
the result is altogether doubtful. Ii
is certain that at headquarters,during
the past few days, the tone has been
anxious and even despondent.
The Daily ISews’ dispatch from
Constantinople says : The Porte has
issued a notice warning mariners of
the intention to place torpedoes in
certain poitious of the Dardanelles
and bay Sardne.
London, June I.—A special dis- i
patch from Vienna to second edition
of the Telegraph says:
On the Czar’s arrival ut Plovilz, a
council of war will be held, and on
the 7th inst. orders are to be giveu
for crossing the Danube at Ibrail
andTurnei-Maguereli. An important
demonstration under Prince Charles

the following: On* thing seems
pretty certain that for one reason oi
another—possibly for several-delay
has occurred in the Russian advance
in Asia. Possibly even the necessity
of sending some of the reserve troops
from Trans-Caucasus to secure com
munication through the Caucasus
may have contributed to retard the
advance. Fortunately for Russia
the Turks seem scarcely in a position
to take advantage of this delay. All
accounts from the spot agree that
the couditiou of their forces is eveo
worse than generally believed. They
are considerably fewer than has
been assumed, and with the excep
tion of arms, lack everything re
quisite for an army in the field.
There seems even to be hardly ant
reserve stock of ammunition,
especially for the artillery. It is im
possible to expect that all these
shortcomings can be remedied be
fore the Russians push forward to
Erzeroum.

Washington, D. C., May 29,—Ben
Butler has written the following con
isolutory to ex-Marsbul Pitkin, of
1 Louisiana;
Washington, D. C., May 20,1877.
"My Dear Pitkin: 1 have yours of
the 15th inst,. informing me that
when you were in Washington both
the President and Mr. Denvers, At
torney General, gave you substantial
assurance that you would not be dis
tuibed iu your office as Uuited States
Marshal, being a native of the State
of Louisiana, and a good Republican,
and against whom no official malfea
sance or personal dereliction from
the path of right had been shown,
and who, therefore, came eminently
within the provisions of Civil Service
reform, winch is the corner-stone, as
I understand it, of our Republican
Administration, lain certain,there
fore, thut the President and Attor
ney General would never have asked
your resignation of the office of Mar
shal, as you say they have done, in
contravention of their assurances
and in disregard of the principles of
of Civil Service Reform. lam bound
therefore, from what I know of both
these gentlemen, to believe that they
intern! iu good faith to carry out their
assurances and preserve their priuci
pies.
One fault which I find with your
letter is that you do not matte suffi
cient allowance for the poliiieal ne
cessities and entanglements by which
good men are compelled to do that
which they would rather uot do. It
is an open secret here, as I tun in
formed, that Col. Wharton, your
competitor, aided Mr. McVeigh, one
of the Commissioners at New Or
leans, very largely in getting
a portion of the Republican Legisla
ture to desert from Packard and go
over to Nieholls, by which a Return
ing Board Legislature was put under
he control of Nionolls; then that
Legislature enabled the Commission
to advise, that as the Legislature
uad recognized the Nieholls Govern
ment, the President was bound to
withdraw the troops. It is also as
serted that $2,000 was to be paid to
leading deserting legislators, and
only S2OO to otners disguised, iu the
latter ease, in the shape of mileage;
so that Mr. Johusou, a colored utau,
speaking out of the innocence of Ids
heart, said on the floor of the House
:hat all he wanted was to get his
mileage and go home. It is also as
serted that Colonel Wharton was the
instrument selected by Mr. McVeigh
to ilo this piece of business, under
ois promise of being made Marshal,
if he successfully accomplished it.
Now, Wtiartoa performed his side
of the bargain, and I think you are
very unreasonable iu objecting that
tie Administration should carry out
tneir side of it, or at least do the best
i hey cun so to do. It ought to satisfy
Wharton that they have asked you to
resign, and you won’t; and, there
fore, they have done the best they
could to make good McVeigh’s bar
gain; and, as they can’t, Wharton
eight to he satisfied, precisely like
my friend Gen. Garfield, who, having
done his best and succeeded in elect
ing Mr. Stanley Matthews to the Sen
ate at the request of tue President,
is it is said, on agreement, thut the
President, would make him Speaker
if the House of Representatives —
will have to be, and ought to be, sat
isfied with a fair, houest and hearty
endeavor on the part of the President
to do all he can to make him Speak
er. If he fails, Garfield will have
uobody io blame but himself for not
remembering that ‘‘a bird in hand is
worth two iu the bush.”
Now, my dear Mr. Pitkin, I call
upon you by the love you bear the
Republican party and its principles,
in memory of the many sacrifices
you have made during aud since the
war as a Union man in Louisiana, for
the safety of the count ry, and uoi for
rhe sake of holding office under the
United States, not to throw any im
pediments in the way of the Presi
ient’s fulfilling all bargains which
his subordinates made as necessary
inaugurating his Southern policy
which is to be of so great and incal
culable advantage—not only to the
party which you love so well, but
also to the country—for ttie unity
and purification of which you have
given the best days of your manhood.
I write thus to you because I thought
l detected it) your uote what seemed
to be an unreasonable complaint
that you are to be sacrificed.
Remember that Abraham was
about to sacrifice bis only son Isaac,
the child of his old age, to what he
believed to be the will of God and
the necessities of his people; and
the Good Book does not make men
tion of any unreasonable complaints
or outcries of Isaac on that occasion ;
anti so, when you find that tne Presi
dent, in obedience to the call of his
country, and the public exigency for
its pacification, deems it necessary
j to sacrifice you and takeaway your
! office, and give it to one who wore
! the gray when you stool in blue,
| you ought not to kick and squirm
| any more than Isaac when be lay
; upon the altar, under the knife of
I tiis fater Abraham. lam sorry that
I can not, write you a-.y other words
of coinfort aud consolation, but such
as I have I bequeath unto you.
I am yours, truly,
Benj. F. Butler.

One Evil of eitaiiding Armies.
Baltimore Sun.]
In a late book published by Dr.
Joiiann SSherr, a German rationalist
university professor, statistics are
given to show that the immense
standing armies of Germany are a
perpetual debauchery of personal
morals, and they have now been
greatly reinforced in many parts of
the country by foundling hospitals,
which make it still easier to dispose
of the results of unciiastity. It is
considered a question whether these
great armies will not in time pro
duce the same results in Germany
that they have in Fiance, actual re
trograde in the numbers of the popu
lation, on account of tlie neglect of
the marriage relation and the mor
tality among the waifs mothered by
public institutions. It will be a
happy day for Europe when it is re
alized that standing armies are the
most dangerous resource for national
defense. With such facts before the
world it will hardly be possible for
Gen. Sherman or any other man to
make the American people believe
that a considerable standing army is
essential to their salvation.

A CONVENTION OF IMMODEST INNOVA
TORS—A BOW RAISED BY HAR
VARD BOVS.
Boston, May 22.— The New Eng
land Free Lovers have been indulg
ing in another of their disgraceful
gatherings in Boston this week.
They commenced their Convention
Sunday afternoon, and after holding
half a dozen sessions, wound up with
a spirited row at an early hour this
morning. In and( lining the purposes
of tlie singular tribe of men and
women who participate in these fre
quent meetings in Boston it is only
necessary to sity that they openly
encourage and defend licentiousness
in almost every conceivable form,
and the utterances of both sexes at
the several sessions on this occasion
were worthy only of the most de
praved of the human kind.
Those most prominent iu this
movement, which seems to have
gained an alarming headway in New
t England at least, are Mr. and Mrs.
E. H. Iley wood, of Worcester county;
George O. Waite, of Maine; Dr. O. H.
Dillingham, of Boston; A. B. Wes
ton. a man named Cluer, of Boston,
and a couple of self-styled divines in
the persons of Rev. Mr. Barnes and
Rev. Moses Hull, the latter editor
and proprietor of a weekly newspa
per devoted to the cause which he so
industriously espouses.
None of the speakers endeavored
lo define their sentiments iu chaste
language, hut on the contrary, were
disgustingly obscene, the women
speakers generally excelling in this
respect. One of the latter, iu par
ticular, seemed to speak for the edi
fication and delight of that portion
of the audience given to debauchery,
and her remarks appeared to find a
hearty response in the minds of
many women who listened to her.
The Rev. Mr. Hull was more than
usually eloquent and enthusiastic in
his advocacy of his peculiar views,
and the resolutions which were offer
ed by Mr. Heywooil surpassed in iu
decency atithing ever before submit
ted to a public meeting. Only one
out of the series of seven which were
Offered is in language lit for publi
cation, and it is herewith appended :
Resolved , That the arrest of Charles
Bradlaugu auil Mrs. Anuta Besant,
for diffusing useful information con
cerning the general ive function
among common English people, aud
the inquisitorial career of Anthony
Comstock, approved by ecclesiasti
cal, lit'Tury aud political authorities
here, snow the extent, to which the
“ruling classes” would hinder en
lightenment on the gravest of sub
jects ; that nevertheless, it is not
only the right but the most serious
duty of ail to study, love and pro
claim its truth, however imperious
or malevolent opposition thereto may
be.
At the last evening session there
were assembled fifteen or twenty stu
dents from Harvard College, who had
evidently come well organized for
the purpose of having a high old
lark, and, if possible, to break up the
Convention. It is but justice, if this
was their purpose, to say ttiat they
succeeded most admirably. The lead
er in the movement seemed to be a
young Freshman, who, ir, was assert
ed, belongs to otieof the blue-blooded
families on Beacon Hill. He began
by interrupting the speakers with all
sorts of questions of obscene signifi
cance, and his associates joiDed with
him in a manner that showed
a previously determined plot to
make matters decidedly lively and
unpleasant for the free-lovers. A
threat of ejectment ami of calling the
police were derided, for it was well
known that the police would wink at
their proceedings. At one time the
party broke out with one or two
stanzas of “Hold the Fort,” the
speech of the angry Heywood being
itivoliintarily suspended during the
meantime. Besides these interrup
tions, the Harvard leader was mov
ing industriously around the hail,
finally taking a seat upon the plat
form and fondly caressing Mrs. lley
wood. Mr. Wnitier, the janitor or
the hall, thought the doctrines of
free love wore approaching too
practical an illustration for
decency, and he undertook to re
move the amorous representative of
Hartford to the other end of the plat
form. This was the signal fur a gen
eral row, and in an instant a small
army of indignant Freshmen over
powered the stalwart free-lovers, and
a general knocking down aud clean
ing out was only prevented by the
prompt release of the young leader.
The stream of filth was then resumed
by Mr. Heywood and his wife, after
which one of the collegians took the
platform and delivered quite an elo
quent speech in opposition to the
principles advocated by the Conven
tion, and affirming that he and his
friends came there for curiosity aud
amusement. Subsequently the meet
ing continued until a late hour with
out further interruption.

Cuptitiu Howgate l*rop*e to feturl hb
!'.K|M-diflull la July.
In anticipation of the next Congress
appriaung the sso,uno recommended
by the Committee on Naval Affairs
of the last Congress, Captain How
gate, of the Bigual Service, Washing
ton, proposes this year to send out a
small vessel to the northern seas
about July 1, under tire command of
Captain Tyson, of Polaris- fame, to
gather together during the present
season Esquimaux, dogs, sledges and
clothing for the tegular expedition,
which will start next, spring, the sup
plies so collected to be transferred to
the regular vessel at Disco in August
or 1878, and the little one to return
then to tne United States. This will
insure good material for the colony
and prevent delay. To do this with
out delay, money to the amount or
$9.0u0 or SUl.uoo’rriait be raised by
sunscription.
Captain Tvson has made n rough
estimate of the cost, of this advance
guard, winch amounts to sß,olio. To
ibis small expedition a whaling
outfit is provided for. The object of
this is to fill up profitably the other
wise unoccupied time of the crew,
and it is believed that the catch of
oil—whale and seal will repay the
whole cost of the expedition, if only
average success is met with. Cap
tain Howgate appeals to the busi
ness men of N'-w York and else
where to help him raise ttie sum
needed for the outfit. Only $3,400 in
cash is wanted. Five hundred dol
lars oT this amount the Captain
himself subscribes. Merchants
having casks, boats, whaling gear,
bread, flour, pork, &0., can subscribe
j these articles in kind.

! amount nave been opened at the

The nninclK llnrltal*ltl|i
Commenting upon the disputch to
the Baltimore Sun stating that the
President had determined to retain
Smythe as United States Marshal
for Georgia, the Covington Star says:
The number of applicants for this posi
tion has been legion, aud the contest over
the appointment has been a lively one
many good Democrats being among the
number. When It was given out at first
that tire President would appoint the per
son named by Senators Gordon and Hill,
we had some hope that a Democrat would
be appointed,but when Gen. Gordon named
a number of good men and Hill refused
to assent, wo teit that it would result in
the re-appointment of Maj. Smyth.
With tlie lights before us wo are forced to
the conclusion that Mr. Hill is responsible
for the appointment of a carpet-bagger
instead or a nativo born citizen. In fact,
it appears to be one of the worst results
of Jionhtfiishnoss wo have yet seen.
Has the Star authority for the asser
tion which ii makes so posiively? Did
Senator Gordon “name a number of good
men” for the position, and did Senator
Hill refuse to assent to the appointment
of any one of them? If these things be
true, then, indeed, is Senator Hill respon
sible for the retention of Mr. Smyth—for
the continuance iu the most lucrative and
important Federal office in tlie State of a
man whose subordinates have so cruelly
wronged and outraged tlie people of
Northern Georgia. But did Senator Hill
act as the Star says lie acted? Is Senator
liill to blame, or is Senator Gordon to
blame? Upon one, or both of them the
responsibility must rest. Tlie Star as
serts positively that Mr. Hill is to be cen
sured. Is that true? A correspondent oi
the Chronicle and Constitutionalist has,
upon the contrary, intimated that Senator
Gordon refused to recommend any one
except Colonel It. A. Alston, whom Sena
tor Hill did not desire appointed. Is that
true? We again ask these gentleman to
give an explanation to the people, whose
servants tney are and whom they were
elected to represent.— Augusta Chroni

tion, General Debility, and for Puri
fying the Blood.
Tliis Sarsaparilla is a combination of
vegetable alteratives—Stillingia,Man
drake,Yellow Dock—with the lodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the
most efficacious medicine yet known
for the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully
combined that tho full alterative
effect of eaeli is assured, and while
it is so mild as to bo, harmless even
to children, it is still so effectual as
to pursfe out from the system those
impurities and corruptions which
develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it eil ioys is derived
from its cures;, and the confidence
which prominent physicians all over
the country repose in it proves their
experience of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues
have accumulated, and are con
stantly being received, and as many
of these cases are publicly known,
they furnish convincing evidence of
the superiority of, this .Sarsaparilla
over every oilier alt amative medicine.
So generally is its superiority to any
other medicine known that we need
do no more than to assure the public
that the best qualities it has ever
.possessed are strictly maintained.
