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. • ••■■■' It Is possible that Grant wants tha Republican Convention held early in the season, before the greater part of his friends get into prison.

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. The Springfield, (Mass.) Republi can bows tho Now England head to the inevitable axe withbocotningfor litude.

THE TIMES: WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 29, 1875 I\(,l4Mh I$W H'UCV KtinPKIsfItVINOKO ,gr beui.in—attitbuk brTH#EKM,VN ANI> I’.TOSUN PBKBB— 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. The Miissurre or Ktontlnii* I>) .Ibys- Kyitlans. 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. VB4ITVIVN. FIRST SYMPTOMS OF Tin; PBKBENT VOL CANIC ERUPTION—THE NCMIIKR OF COM MOTIONS OF TIIK BIWNINO MOUNTAIN — THE “SKISWOOKAPH, OR EARTIiqUAKE WRITER.” |Nailien corrmpouduace ot the American (I'aria) Regia ter.] 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. A Very Luihl nikh. 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.

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 Smith, will be tho happy solution of tho Gubernatorial muddle.
