We copy a letter from Berlin in
refeTbiioehn tire feelings and interests
of the great powers of Europe us
uffecled Ify uie DrftTsii purchase of a
controlling interest in theftuezcanal.
The late pireliaseby the British Gov
ernment was of 177,<KK) sliares from
the Khz) (Hyp of Egypt, and she held
3i),ooftshares previously in
France. This gives Great Britain
307,000 shares of the 400,000, or more
tlmiv.oqts-liaU of llm aj.flgk. The ex
eroifMi of her controlling power over
tho Shed canal Will givo her com
mand of both the outlets of the Med
iterranean, as she has long held Gib
raltar. It will give her control of tho
short highway to India and the East,
and thus greatly assist her in main
taining her supremacy in that quar
ter of the world. Asa strategic and
precautionary measure, this purchase
apisjurs to be a master-stroke of pol
icy. While tho great nations of the
continent are augmenting their ar
mies by the conscription of all their
able-bodied subjects, and oxponding
hundreds of millions of dollars for
the moat approved arms and arma
ments, Great Britain quietly operates
with her money, and once moro—at a
time when rivals aro taunting her
about her decadence to a second or
third-rate military power—sho gives
the world another striking proof that
“Her march is o'er tho mountain wave,
Her homo is on tho deep.’’
And it is a march not only to tho
defence and maintenance of domin
ions so extended that "tho sun never
sets upon them,” but to more con
quests and a further reach of her
trade all power. Amid all tho plots
and strifes of nations straining all
their energies to maintain vast ar
mies for offensive or defensive war,
Great Britain stands out to-day the
embodiment of the moral power and
•Ulterior intelligence’ that over
rnutches brute force. No other power
in the world has interests so wide
spread to preserve and defend, but uo
other power has such facilities for
the concentration of her resources
and their rapid movement to any
threatened point. The entire com
mand of the Mediterranean is an
other great advance made in tho
perfection of the policy that consti
tute* her streugth.
Of*course the nations that were be
fore jealous of England’s occupation
of Gibraltar will feel moro uneasy
now’ that sho has gained possession
of the of iter gate of the Mediterrane
an. Of course Russia, now pushing
her conquests into central Asia, and
contemplating the time when she
will be able to faco England on the
Indus or the Ganges, will feel con
cern for a movement which enables
Great Britain to ofgntd7<e or reinforce
her armies in India before tho Cos
sack can rendezvous upon tire Cas
pian. But the ptirehnse of the Suez
sharWoo&strtdw^ilojd§t oaitso Tor a
quarrel, and they must noeds nurse
their w-rath as best they may. Tho
cost Of the acquisition is a trifle com
pared to that of Germany’s or Rus
sia's millions of men constantly un
der arms; and the strain upon tier
industry or tax upon her people is but
as a feather’s weight compared to tho
cost of continental war establish
ments. It will be a blessing to the
world if this masterly peaceful meas
ure of tire British Government shall
serve to admonish tho ambitious
powers of Europe that a nation’s of
fensive strength consists not alone in
vast armies, aud her invincibility to
attack is not measured by tho num
ber of her fortresses and her bristling
cannon upon every eminence or in
let. • ••■■■'

The Russell Register publishes a
drcular tj| the Creditors of Russell
. c&pnty, Ala., by Messrs. M. L. l’at-
J torson, John McGough, and H.
Ilirsch, the Board of Finance of tho
county, making an exhibit of its in
debtedness and an appeal to the cred
itors for a compromise. Tho Board
state that the ascertained indebted
ness Of the county is in round num
bers $37,500, and the private debts of
its citizens not less than one million
of dollars, of which one-hnlf is’backed
by individual property; that the as
sessed value of real and personal
property In the county was $2,035,447
in 1870, and only $1,082,935 in 1874,
showing a depreciation in five years
of $952,542; that tho taxes collected
for county purpose* barely pay its
expenses; ami that the business of
the county has become generally
Sion-paying—tho legitimate net re
sults therefrom not being equal to
tho amount of taxes annually puhl by
tho eitizenß. In addition to this
county and individual indebtedness,
the county of Russell is bound lor
her proportionate share (l-05th part)
of the debt of tho State, which part
tho Board estimate at s446,ooo—as
suming the debt of the Htate to be
$29,000,000. Tills would increase the
liability of Russell county $18,460 per
year. The Board sum as follows:
Now add to the individual debt . $500,000
Tne straight debt of the County. . 37,500
And Russell County’s portion of
the State debt( which is annually
Increasing). $146,000
und wo have t% sum of 983,500
which wo confidently affirm is a legiti
mate Incumbrance upon tile property of
the county.
The compromise which the Board
propose to the creditors of tho coun
ty is the following i
To issue her bonds for an amount equal
to ono-luilf of said indebtedness bearing
interest at the rate of eight per cent.—pay
able annually—for which coupons will Lie
attached divide said bonds into six class
es-tlto first to become duo and payable
one year after the acceptance of this prop
osition and so op—one class maturing an
nually until the sixth is reached, and sub
stitute said bonds for aud in satisfaction
of the county indebtedness, at and after
the rate of 50 cents in said bonds for 100
cents of said indebtedness. The class of
bonds first maturing aro offered to the
creditors, fixing their priority by first reg
istering their claims, and so on through
tho list of creditors—to tho creditors last
registering Is offered tho bonds last matur
ing. Tho county further proposes to obli
gate itself not to issue other bonds, or in
cur other liability beyond her necessary
annual expenses before the present indebt
edness is paid off In the manner named.
And also proposes to obligate itself to levy
in good faith annual taxi's sufficient to pay
the annual Interest and tho principal of
said bonds as they severally mature.
Tho Boartl presont forcible argu
ments in favor of the adoption of
tills compromise by the creditors,
such as the inability of the county to
pay more; the fact that tho now
bonds offered are to bear 8 per cent,
interest, while tho debt in its pres
ent shape bears no interest; that tho
county debts, if paid now, must bo
paid in depreciated Htate scrip or
State money, but under tho proposed
compromise and funding, it would
ltavft to be paid in the currency of
the United States; that the new con
stitution limits the counties to the
collection of only taxes sufficient to
pay their necessary annual expenses,
hut if the indebtedness is settled by
arrangement with tjio Board, its pow
ors, conferred by a previous statute,
enable it to requlro tho levy of a
special tax of 25 per cent, upon the
State tax for tho purpose of paying
tho bonds offered in compromise,
with interest thereon. Wo hope that
these arguments will be satisfactory
to the creditors.

“After all, tho significant and sug

political and governing power from

owed it,partly to their political prest

THE DIPtOMATISTS OUTWITTED.
[Correspondence of tho Now York Tribune.]
Berlin, Dee. 3.—lt would not lie
enough to say that the news of tho
Suez Canal purchase came like a clap
of thunder upon the three imperial
courts, and woke them suddenly from
Ia long dream. Their indignation is
quite as marked as their surprise.
They had taken the Ottoman Empire
into their own hands, and were pre
pared to partition it out iri tho spirit
ortho Holy Alliance. What, right
had England to disturb this
satisfactory arrangement? What
right has a nation of shopkeepers
to embark in political strategy in
such a mercenary way V Hence the
spiteful explanation of the Presse of
Vienna, that whilo ttie rest of the
world lights, England buys. Hence
tho pious solicitude of the Moscow
Gazette about the neutrality of the
canal in the interests of civilization.
Hence, likewise, the chagrin of the
Berlin journals, which, in spite of
their exultation over France,cannot
suppress the thought that their vic
tory of the sword was more noble
than England’s victory of tho purse.
The world is undergoing a radical
change. Legitimate polities are no
more, if England is to step in and
buy herself a position for which the
empires were fencing and conspiring
after tho old manner.
It is not the custom in Germany, or
in fact among political cynics of the
great military empires, to take much
account of English statesmanship.
“What will England do?” repeated
Bismarck, to whom someone put the
question just before the invasion of
Hehleswig. “Hhe will do nothing ex
cept recognize accomplished fact.”
Her patience has been indeed severe
ly tried since then by the daring Prus
sian. The invasion and conquest of
the Duchies was of course an out
rage, but, it was an aecompiised fact.
Tito battle ofKadowa changed the bal
ance of power and overthrew tho very
best friend England bad on the Conti
net; ttie war of 1770 crushed the most
recent ally and the dynasty most at
tached to England. Both were accom
plished facts, and of course England
uequisced. Why should Prince Bis
marck not url his lip when people
thrust England between him and his
plans? Why should Prince Gorts
chakoff not lay his schemes und Rus
sian soldiers execute them without a
moment’s thought of England ? And
when these two veteran loaders met,
as they always have met once a year,
to talk over the situation of Europe
und tho outlook for tho next winter,
they were happy in the belief that
one great power which formerly guve
them trouble had forever retired
from the councils of continental pol
itics.
To-day they met again in the famil
iar chambers of the Wilhelmstrasso,
but in circumstances slightly differ
ent. For once they had both to re
port a failure of their favorite strate
gy. Earlv in the war it used to be
said by tho Confederate newspapers
when a Federal general gained ahat
tlo that ho had won by iiislionorabiy
violating the rules of strategy, What,
was a victory wort h that, was pained
by trampling on Jomiui and the pre
cepts of the best masters o#the mili
tary art? Something like tilts was
doubtless said by Gortschakoff aud
Bismarck at their conference on Tues
day. Nevertheless the Union gener
als used to win their battles, strategy
or no strategy; and these two
diplomatists, who had been mas
querading before Europe with their
triple alliance, and all the parapher
nalia of the old political comedies,
(tan only sit down and recognize an
accomplished fact. I call the victor
a Jew approvingly and knowingly,
lu The Gentleman’s Magazine re
cently there was proof given from
the parish register that Mr, Disraeli
was formally baptised and adopted
into the English communion. But
forms cannot neutralize facts. By
birth, by training, by nature, and in
his methods, Mr. Disraeli is a Jew.
and tho purchase of tho Suez Canal
is as much a triumph for his race as
the day wlton Joshua compassed tho
the fall of Ai. The words of Joshua
might also have been adopted by Mr.
Disraeli as a system of political
strategy.
In any event there are men in
Russia and Austria and Germany
who will bo gratified. Tho pledges
of allegiance never displace in the
children of Israel the original ties of
taco and religion, never forbid the
secret exultation at tho deeds of their
own kindred. Mr. Disraeli himself
has shown this. In Coningsby he
enumerates proudly tho Jews in com
manding positions throughout
Europe, not forgetting to mention a
Prussian Minister— Arnheim. That
Arnhelm was an ancestor of Count
Henry von Arnim, who is more of a
Jew than he would like to acknowl
edge, who can safely deny?
Ido not wish to bo inumndcfstood
about the effect of tho news on the
Continental Powers. Asa practical
distinction it may be doubted wheth
er Prince Bismarck or Prince Gorts
chukoff ever gave thought to the Su
ez Canal or to any political questions
directly growing out of it. That is
rather an affair between Franco and
England. But tho transaction reveals
an audacity in tho present English
Government of which no account bad
lately boon taken, and whieh is
fraught with grave possibilities for
the future. It is the introduction of
anew factor into continental politics.
This gives the affair itself an impor
tance quite beyond its own immedi
ate proportions, and is tho cause of
the impatience shown by the leading
friends of the triple alliance.

New York, Dec. 24. —The Weser
Zeitung of Bremen contains the fol
lowing account of the capture and
tnasaere of a detachment ot Egyp
tian troops by Abyssiuians, briefly re
ported some ago by cable; “An ex
pedition of about 2, out) men, sent by
the Khedive under command of Gen'.
Arendrop, a Dane, to subjugate Abys
sinia, was drawn into an ambush and
nearly every man slaughtered. Gen.
Arendrop, Rauf Pasha, nephew of
Nubar Pasha, and many other offi
cers were literally hacked to pieces,
their heads stuck on spears before
the Abyssinians’ tents and their bod
ies left to the wild beasts. Maokillop
Pasha is said to be alive and a pris
oner of Col. Routh, the American.
Nothing is known only of one officer,
Hheizer, Who escaped."
An expedition comprising 12,000
men, infantry, cavalry and artillery,
is to set out from Cairo without de
lay, and will be joined by every
American officer in the Egyptian ser
vice. including Col. Stone.
The Democratic journals have said
very little about the time and place
for holding the national party con
vention, yet there seems to boa gen
eral agreement that the date should
boas late as possible, in order that
any false move of their opimnents
may be taken advantage of. The
Cleveland Plain Dealer thinks a late
date should be fixed, and t hat nil the
time intervening should be spent in
practical efforts to reform public
abuses, in order that tho party may
accumulate capital upon which to
enter the campaign.

Probably before this letter roaches
the Register you will have already
inserted in your columns the notice
from Professor PahUleri, who watch
es high up in tho observatory on the
slcqtes of Vesuvius, that the old vol
cano is showing signs of an eruption.
The daily Pungolo of Naples is tho
ordinary medium of tho Professor’s
announcements of tho threatening of
t he historic ("and, for all that, prehis
toric; fire mountain that rears its
graceful form above tho Bay of
Naples. Before the Bourbon Regime
had ceased observations were estab
lished in the meteorological observa
tory referred to, with tho end in view
of recording the phenomena connect
ed with Vesuvius, and, if possible, to
give warning of approaching erup
tions. This has been partially suc
cessful, for that most frequently re
curring phenomenon in connection
with volcanoes—the earthquake—is
Immediately detected by an instru
ment called
THE HEIHMOOBAPH
(earthquake writer); the slightest
shock is readily indicated by tho sen
sitive mechanism. This instrument
is tlie invention of Palmieri, who is a
professor in the'University of Naples,
and one of the most eminent physi
cists living. No proper description
could be given without engravings
of the seismograph, by which the
Professor feels the pulsations of
earthquakes; but Robert Mallet, the
first authority on earthquakes and
volcanoes, states tho general prin
ciple to be one “in which wave move
ments are indicated by tho displace
ment, relative or absolute, ef col
umns of mercury in glass tubes. It
is a self-recording instrument, com
posed of two distinct portions—one
for record of horizontal, or rather
what are called undulatory shocks;
tiie other for vertical shocks.” Now,
while the seismograph has been most
successful in recording the earth
quake movements, as a foreteller of
eruptions it cannot be said to be per
fectly reliable when taken alone; but
if its recordings are taken in con
junction with careful observations
of the igneous and other indications
of Vesuvius an eruption can pretty
surely be foretold. Such a conjunc
tion has just occurred, which has
caused the communication to the
Pungolo, and we learn from Profes
sor Palmieri that Vesuvius gives un
mistakable symptoms of an ap
proaching eruption.
THE CRATFR
formed by the terrible eruption of
1872 Ims been falling in on the south
east, or, to use the exact language of
the Professor, bus been “becoming
bottomless, with emanations of black
smoko. Ttie Instruments at the ob
servatory are slightly agitated.
There is no telling when igneous
results will follow these indications.
But in the month of December, 185-1,
a similar phenomenon manifested
itself in thecrater, and tho eccentric
eruption, with copious floods of iuva,
took place in May, 1855.”
Tho Professor does not predict with
absolute certainty when the next
eruption will take place. Indeed, he
cannot, for wo must remember that
Monte Nuovo, in the sixteenth cen
tury, was thrown up between Poz
zuolo fPuteolU and Bain in a single
night; and, as Mallet has observed,
“a small fusilttde may go on for
months, aud yet, without an hour’s
notice by any premonitory sign, may
waken tip with a roar, ami darken
tho air with ashes aud lapilli, such as
those which overwhelmed Pompeii.
One eruption may blow forth little
but dust und ashes (so-called), and
another may pour out rivers ot lava
and little else.”
The eruption of 1850 took place in
February of that year, when I hap
pened th be traveling in Houthern
Italy. I was just finishing my stu
dent day, and my mind was very
open to impressions. Since that
time I have gazed not only upon
Strombcdi aud Etna, but upon the
loftiest volcanoes of South America;
but for the display of awful
power -of awful sublimity and
grandeur—no after scene im
pressed mo more solemnly and deep
ly than this eruption of Mount Ve
suvius, when the mountain, ceasing
to eject volcanic matter from its or
dinary channel, openod far below
two new craters on tho very sido—
tho southeastern—which is now giv
ing threatening indications. The
new crater in 1850 shot forth three
streams of lava. The most consider
able was that whieh took the direc
tion of Boaeo Reale, a village just
above Pompeii. Indeed, the lava, if
it had flowed a little more than a
anile further, would have utterly de
stroyed what tiie ashes left of Pom
peii 1,800 years ago. This lava
stream, in rushing toward the village
of Boseo Reale, marched through a
wood of oak, ilex and ash. As it. en
closed the trees tho heat entendered
steam in the cavities of tho roots aud
trunks, tho loud detonations of
bursting trees aud tho immediate
blaze which followed formed a pyro
technic display of the most brilliant
character.
The number of recorded eruptions i
from the first century to the soven- j
teenth inclusive was nineteen, a lit-1
tie more titan the average of one per I
century. During tho eighteenth
century there were twenty-three, one
on the average of about four and
a half years. Up to the present time
in this century there have occurred
twenty-live eruptions or an average
of one in every three years. As tho
last took place in April, 1872, we may
confidently soon Took for another.

The Chattanooga Commercial dis
courses in this sensible way concern
ing a matter of great interest to nil
live business men:
Not only for newspaper men, but
for the whole community, does the
increase of advertisements, which
has begun, denote an improvement
in the business tone and vim, which
must lead to a solid enlargement of
stilespud profits. When the business
columns ot the city papers are kept
full, there is certain to be produced
a spirit of lively energy and cheerful
Lope which puts “hard times” to
flight. When the same columns are
empty, it needs not a philosopher to
determine that stagnation and
despondency have a place by the
throat. Do you ever reflect, mer
chants, that tiie few dollars
you spend in advertising tells the
surrounding world that wo have a
live town here, in a practical way,
which has a moro convincing effect
than all the general boasting the ed
itors can do, or big tales whieh
drummers ore prone to relate. Each
advertisement reinforces every other
one in a paper, nnd the wholo to
gether, if there be enough of them,
are proof which cannot Joe denied,
that there is commercial competen
cy and energy in a place. For this
reason, while thankful for our share
of their favors, we also congratulate
our inerehnns upon the enterprise
which is leading them to put their
business before the public In the pa
llors. They will have their reward.

i!(jUbr Atlanta Commonwealth:
Now tliut tiie Gubernatorial con
test is assuming some shape, it de
vel<qK.'s the timid, yet willing, aspi
rants, who, as yet, havo been kept
“hid out,” or did their own hiding
out, hoping, doubtless, “that some
thing would turn up” favorably to
their chunces. Whether the ex-Pro
visiotmi (?) Governor above named
Is actual) von the uuxious seat, or
whether Mhridm Rumor lias, without
authority, made free use of his name,
we know not, but of one thing t here
is no doubt, viz: That his candidacy,
or any other upon that line, will be
unmistakably "independent”—inde
pendent of the Democracy—indepen
dent of the Radical frag
ments, and when tho experi
ment is tried tho sequel will show
that it was independent of voters.
In a word, a candidacy only in name,
und we are frank to say, it ought to
be “only in name,” for lie, tho "inde
pendent candidate,” in advance, ig
nores his party friends, and they, in
turn, reciprocate the compliment (?)
by ignoring him at tho ballot box. If
the rumor be true, next November
will witness tho formal burial servi
ces of the last vestige of Bullockism
in Georgia—and a burial, too, where
the mourners will be precious few,
and tho funeral cortege painfully
slitn, for even “ctiffeo,” who is uause
ated and disgusted with Georgia Rad
icalism, will, whilst rolling up “the
white of his eye,” utter the signifi
cant ejaculation, “I don’t want none
of his’n in mine.”
Now, Messrs. Editors, tho contest
will not be on that lino, that is, be
tween an “Independent” and the
nominee of tbe Democratic party;
but the contest will continue, as no w
inaugurated, in the Democratic fam-1
iiy. Colquitt is backed by zealous
friends; Hardeman’s claims are
pressed by his admirers; James is
earnestly, but persistently pushed
forward, whilst Gartrell, without
effort, lias earnest supporters. Yet,
we can have but one Governor.
The respective friends of
these worthy Georgians will
wux warm in their zeal and friendly
contest, and spirited “passage at
arms” until the time appointed,
when the voice of the people will de
clare, in no uncertain sound, who
shall be their honored standard
bearer in tiie coming conflict. The
expression of the groat body of Geor
gians will, like a modern cyclone,
sweeping irresistibly across the
State from the mountains to the sea
board, be “well done good and faith
ful servant,” and the retention in
office for a “second term” of the
present nblo incumbent,, Governor
