A GLANCE AT THE BATTLEFIELD. Special Dispatcn to The Tridune. SPRINGFIELD, 111, Jan. 18.—On or before the adjournment of the General Assembly at noon to-day, maav of the legislators and the friends ot the various candidates for Scuatorisl honors left this city, exhausted iu mind and body with the contest which has been raging here for the past two weeks. There are, bowever, a few strangers on, and fifty or more members of the Legislature, including Logan himself, who are still on the ground looking meditatively over the hard-won fight. A survey of the situation after the excitement of the contest is not assur- iu to those who' were induced to give their reluctant support to Logan with the expecta- tion of RECEIVING SOME REWARD from the great promiser in the shape of State aod Feaeral patronage. They begin to have their tender breasts harrowed with the pierciu 2pprehension that these promises cannot be julfilled. Toey sre awskening to the melsu- choly fact that Logan really hasno influence with the Wasbineton Admivistration, and has nothing to give. They perceive the emptiness of their victory, and arc even now reflecting up- on the folly of their course in voting for him. There is another thing which casts a sombre shadow over the aspect of affairs at the Capital to-night, and thats ~ THE COUESE OF TIE CHICAGO TRIBUNE throughout this Senatorial contest. Thesalary- grabbers are vehement in their expressions of fudienation thereat. The subject was under discussion this evening at the Leland Hotel, after the arrival of THe TRIBUNE, as to the propriety of calling a meeting and formally reading the paper out of the party. This fresh panic was caused by the editorial comments of the paper in guestion upon the action of the caucus last evening, and the unpalatable facts there stated. It was proposed to call a meeting, and poss resolutions denouncing the paper, and advising Republicans throughout the State to drop it. Long Jones, Representative McFie, 2nd some others recommend this course, and it is not improbable that such a congress may be convened some time next week after the Senatorial election takes place. 4 LONG JOSES REMARKED this morning that Tie TRIBUNE was full of lics, aud that every Republican in the State should be advised by the Republican State Central Com- 1wittee, in some official way, not to patronize it. Spould the opposition of THE TRIBUNE hereafter result in the defeat of Logan there is * ot the slightest donbt in the world from ap- pearances here this evening that the salary- grabber’s friends will make a strong attempt 10 compel the decent Kepublicans of the State 0 take this course. ‘They not only want to kill off the galiant Oglesby, but every Republican and all the newspapers who support him. Great curiosity was mabitested bere to-dav to kpow what course Tug TRIBUNE would take under the circumstances, and spprebensions were entertaiued that it would ADVISE A BOLT. “There has been an uneasy fecling existing here all day among the Logan managers, who fear tbhat the biz cbief may yet be cheated out of his victory by dissatisfied Repubijcans. Careful und quiet inquiries have been made in quarters where information was likely to be collected as 10 what might be expected next from his op- yonents. There is a latent feeling of unrest which destroys the tranquillity and repose of Those who should have the greatest cause for rejoicing on this occasion, and which robs the upparent victory of half jts pleasure. THEY FEAR PARWELL'S RETCR on Monday morning more than auything else tbat can happen, sud are speculating upon that subject this evening with a mortal dread in tavir hearts. ‘They scem to be oupressed with a uightmare of fearsaud forebodings, arising perhiaps from 8 consciousness than in slaugh- tering Oglesby they have stained the temple of 2epublicanism with the blood of the greatest charpions of the party. SENATOR OGLESBY left the Leland Hotel this morning zlone at 10 o'clock for his home in Decatnr, where he. will remain a few days in order to recover from the wuxicties and the cxbaustion incident to the Jate strugmle. The. Scostor acquiesces in the result, though he does not believe by any means that he bas lost his hold on the Republicun par- 1y of the State of Ilinois. While being robbed of the victory by party machinery and trickery, e still has faith in the principles and the party for which Le bas so long contended. 1n view of the fact that Oglesby may be a pos- &ible candidate for the Governor ot Illinois two ~vears hence, it i3 said that Cullom is not exees- sively jubilant over the result of the causus last evening, and that he would not be at all indig- napy if certain Republican members of the Legislature should bolt the nomination. His Nenatorial dist is right-side up ready for the ehower. Licat.-Gov. Shuman in a measure participates in the feeling of indifferesce us to Logan’s £uccess. THE DEMOCRATIC CATCUS & Lias been called for Monday evening next by Luther Dearborn, Chairman of the. Joint Cau- cus. M. W. ruller, Jim Robinson, and Gen. Black are mentioped as possible nomineees. Robinson's chances are somewhat jeopardized on account of his reputed connection with the sularg-grabbers. Logan claims to have received congratulatory dispatches to-aay from Secretary Sherman and tne President of the United States, but nobody has seen them, and he refuses to show them ven to the representatives of the newspapers veho have supported him throngh the contest or to ansbody else. The inference is that the dispatehes are not as complimentary as they wighe Le. CHICAGO.

Ilence, Senatorial matters are dull, and limited mostly to speeu- lation. Neither candidate has yet disclosed his fighters, cach waiting for promised oceasiovs. Leavenworth County is now solid for Authon, but the delegation will splitin case Anthony does not prove a formidable candidate, most of them going to Ingalls.

Aapisox, Wis., Jan. 18.—Something of a lull has taken place in the Senatorial contest to- night. The majority of the members and em- ploves having gone home, the city is as dull as a graverard. The Generals of each Senatorial army are closely watchivg the field, however, and will not permit a flank movement irom the opposing forees in this triangular fight. VIRGINIA.

Phtludeiphia Press. ‘There is & rumor, derived from the not al- wavs correct *‘exclusive information” of the London correspondesce of an English provin- cial journal, to the effect that Queen Vietoria, fatigued by the toil of nominully governing England and its dependencies, and much sor- rowing, av present, over tne death of her daug! ter Alice, has resolved to “ relinquish the reins of power in favor of the Prince of Wales as Prince Rerent.” ‘There are manv and_gond reasons for not believing this statement. Upder the British Cobstitution, the Sovereign, if in souna health of mind and body, who desires to cast off the trappiogs of royalty and the trammels of State, could scarcely appoint a Rezent, not even the next heir to the throne, to act in her stead. It must be abdication or mnothing. The other day, while suffering from the effects of the Communisg at- tempt to assassinate him, tbe German Emperor made the Crown Prince Kegent pro tew., but, ag we bave seen, withdrew the deleated duty of governing on restoration 1o health. But here is Victoria, at the age of G0, in the flush of rude Bealth, aod likely to Live_ us long as her rand- father, George I1L., who died at the ripe age of 825 tne averame life of cach of the Guelohie sovereizns, from 1714 to 1837, being 72. If Her Majesty did appoint a deputy and desire that he shopid retire after a time, to enable her to re- suwe her reign, it is possible tnat tte Prince. Regency would raise a difliculty, and even that the people, he being extremely popular with them, mizht espousc his cause. There ficultv still more probable and pressing. Victoria has an income of £470,- 000 a year as Queen, £335,000 for her eivil list, aud £75,000 from the Duchy of Lancashire, part of the Crown Lands which she retams con- trary to her promise to surrender ell of them to the State, whose salaried oflicial she is. In the event of a Regency, how much of this would she surrender to the Prince of Wales? Ier Majesty is believed to,be fond of receiving and accumulating money and property, and it would 2o hard with her, no doubt, to_hand over a por- tion—=say half, or even one-third—of her im- mense income to a Regent. The Priuce of Wales bas precisely £100,000 a vear,— 50,000 from the Duchy of Cornwall, and £40,000 from a Parliswentary grant, But during several years, while her ost Gracious Majesty was iu retirement, nursine her grief Tor her busband’s death, she left mauy of the dutics of heroffice—such as holding” levees and drawing-rooms, giving concerts, palls, and banquets, and so on—to be periormed by the Prince of Wales and his wifes thereby, it nas been sffirmed and is universally believed, in- volving them in expenses which put themn £600,- 000 in debt. If the Prince was expected to re- peat this, it may be doubted whether he would consent to become Regent. Wien Victoriz was granted the immeose income sbe has enjoved for nearly forty years ss Queen, the implied condition was not that half of it should be put by, vear after year, but that it should be ex- pended, among her own “loving and loyal sub- jects,” to maintain tne dignity and splendor of the Crown, which has not becn done. Inasmuch as Queen Victoria is very unlikely to divide her ‘salary with her heir-apparent, on his becoming Kegent, it may be taken for graut- ed that there is not she slightest Intention of placing him in such an unpleasant position. English history, dun‘uf the last four centuries, gives the names of ouly four Regents. In 1483, the Duke of Gloucester (afterwards Richard IIL.) was Regent, in consequence of the youth of Edwara V., his’ pepbew, murdered in the ‘Tower; and from- Frebruary, 1812, to January, 1820, Georye, Prince of Wales, was Regent, with fall regal power, during the last melancholy years of his father, Georze [II., in which insan- ity and blindness rendered bim incapable of governine. A Regency in Victoria's reign is most improbable. ITAL TIHE GOLA DISAPPEARANCE. RoVE, Jan. 18.—In the Italian Chamber of Deputies Siznor Depretis, President of the Council, in reply to an interrogation by Sieoor Ercole regarding the dizavpearance of Col. Gola, and what steps the Government had taken in the matter, recapitulated the facts, and stated that, notwithstanding the most diligent efforts of the Italfan Government and its agents, nothing bad been ascertuined throwing any light on the mystery. He trusted the Rou- manian Government would not fail in the Guty mcumbent upon it of ‘makiug a searching iu- quiry in the case. Signor Ercole was dissatisfied with the reply. He insisted that the Roumanian Government was responsible for the disaopearance, and de- clzred that if the Ttalian Goveroment did not make itself respected in the matter, and take such steps as appeared to him sufficient, he should move a vote of want of confidence in the Government.

However, in that document Russia promiscs to support morallv the Inviolability of Arehanistan. Meanwhile the other members of tie mission begau to feel wears of the monot- onous life they speng within four walls. Every one was extremely anxious to visit the town to see its bazaar, or at any rate to take a_drive or ride around Cabul, which Jay temptingly at the foot of the place accupied by our tnission. Vain _desire! At the palace-gate stands the wuard of honor, which allows no one to pass without the permission of the Vizier. Wat men are stationed at every wall. All this ap- cared too reverential to the members of the mbassy. ¢ severai times exoressed to Gen. Stolietofl their desire to Visit the city or jts en- virons, but always met with a decided refusal, which was explained on the ground that therc was nothing worth seeine in thetown. Anothier reason_adduced was the fear of exciting the fanaticism of the populuce. ““T'he physiciun to our Embassy at last bad an opportunity of visitieg the city. On’ the 3a of August he was sent for by Gen. Stolietoff, who intormed bim that be a professional visit to the heir-apparent, Abdul- lah Jan, who had been suddenly taken ill. To reach the residence of the Prince it was necessa- ry Lo pass through a part of the town‘nnl'l through the buzaar. In performing the jour- ney he observed that the buildings und the zey- eral appearance of the streets were the sanie as in all the towns of Central Asia,—parrow, close streets, with Jow, dirty houses aud shops. ‘The house inbabited by the Prince consisted, as usu- al,ofa Jarze courtyard surrounded by high walss. Along tie wails stood a_number of cov- ered palanquins. Morcover, some_palanquins were carried in, and figures dressed in white, with faces concealed, emerzad from them, while others were takeu away with woumen iu them similarly wrapped up. 1t appeared that the physician was io she harem and that the young Prince was in fus mother’s palace. 1n the middle of the court- yurd ou a stone terrace rose a building resem- bling a pavilion, with—what is rare in the East —large grlass windows. 1t was quite lightin the pavilion, which was buiit on such an emincoce that the greater part of Cabulcould be secn from its windows. The furniture consisted.of two ordinary beds dnd several armehairs. The windows looking to the sun had matied cane blinds hung over them: Inthe depthof the ilion_were a namber of people gathered round a bed, on which an old mau, with an Uz- beck east of countenance, was _seated, bolding the young Prince in his arms. The Prince was 15 years old. No Europcan had ever behetd hitn. The physician to our- Embassy was the first and unfortunately the last European that cver saw Abduilah Jan. He approached the pa- tient’s bed amined him, and then told his dresser “waat “medicine to prepare.. Those sick Prince respect- who surrounded the fully and - servilely regarded the doctor, auxious to know what be. would It appeared from the physi s inquiries that tac patient ' had previously suffered from palpitation, to cure which he was sent to the hills, from whence he had returned three days ago, feeling comparatively well.. As soon, however, as he returned to Cabul the symp- toms of his old_complaint reiurncd, and with increased severity. -‘Then the mative doctors, aceording to the rules of their art, gave bim a strone cathartic, which brought on an attack of dysentery. After two days’ suflering the pa- nent lost consciousness, dod remained in that state till his death. “The negotiations between the Afeban ofli- clals and Gen. Stolietoff continued trom day Lo day, and before any final aercement was ar- rived at the treaty was written and rewritten several times. \Vhen the uegoliations were over Shere Ali Khan informed Gen. Stolietofl that he had received news that the English also desired to send 2 wission to Cabul and wished to know whetber the Ameer ‘would receive ft. The Ameer then reniarked that in his opinion the English had no business_in Cabul, and that therefore he hal decided to refuse their request. However, the Amcer ssked Gen. Stolictoff’'s opinion us to how he should in such a casé. The General answered evasively, without giving a decided reply, either affirmative or negative. But for all that he made the Ameer understaud that the simultane- ous presence of the Embassies of two countries almest at enmity with each other would uot prove quite convenient. ' Then tae Amecr finally decided 10 reject the Enelish Mission.. The ex- cuse for the refusal was the dauger of the rond through the Khyber Pass, as the Ameer was up- able 10 bromuse that the Englisi would not be subjected to fll-treativent on the way. “'The subsequent conduct of the British offi- cers and the Ameer dré-well known. % v, the2th of Auust, Gen.

Speciut Dispatch to The Tribunz New Yorr, Jan. 18.—The Secret-Service offi- cers of this district made Friday eveninz the most important arrests Wwhich have fallen to their care in many vears. The arrested arc Henry C. Cole and Charles Ulrich, to whom are traced the counterfeits upon “the Central National Bank of this city, the Third ot Buffalo, and National Bank of Tamaqua, Pa. Beyond this there is no doubt these persons are responsible for the many counterfeit bonds and Tnotes so extensively circulated in Germany and brought to this country by emierants. A $50 certified note on the Central National Bank of New York appeared here May 10, 1577, and was _extensively circulated. It readily passed, and within ten days over $40,000 in smount was used. (A connterfeit on the Third National of Bufislo ap- peared July 10, 1877, and -about $40,- 000 in amount was passed. The same counterfeit came ont on the 20th of September, as 2 $5 on the National Bank of Tamaqua, Pa., and on the 20th of Deccmber on the Na- tional Bank of Hanover. In May, 1873, the same plate was recognized in $50-notes on the Tradesmen’s and Broad- way National Bauks of New York, brouzht over by emigrants on the steamship Berder, and others. After that, in June, the poteson ibe Tradesmen’= Bank were circulated in New York. From the character of the work suspicion was directed to Ulrich as engraver, and Cole as pro- prietor. They both lived in Phiiadelphia, where it'was supposed the work was done. The sus- picion provéd -correct. Allowed to sty in his house, he was carefully watched by & seeret service officer, and, Friday cvening, aftera seven weeks' vigil, positive evidence was ob- tained. The aceused were taken before the United States Commissioner, aad, in default of $20,000 bail, sent to jail. Uldrich was pardoned from the Columbus Penitentiary in Obio in August, 187$, whben serv- ing a sentence of ten years for engravior a S130 note on the First National Bauk of Boston. The plate was first cograved to st the Ohio National, of Cincionati, and Central National, of XNew Yori. The bill was one of the best counterfeis ever ‘made, readily passed, and within three days nearly half a uullion dotlars of it was sold. Ulrich was recarded as the most skillful en- graver and counterfeiter living. e was able to do by hand, with aceuracy, the work of the best machine. He was the only man who success- fully engraved notes of the Bank ot England. Ulrich was shadowed from April, 1873, and has been discovered in a small New Jersey village. Cole was in_frequent gonference with bim. When the detectives finully descended on Ulricn’s bouse, he was Iound at work on the back of a $100 United States Treasury mote. The back of his note i5 composed wuolly of , geometrical lathework, which upon the Zenuine note is done by the machine known as the geometrical lache, costing $100,000, and was supposed besond counterfeiting by hand. ‘The plate found aod mow in possession of the Department provel the fallacy of that, 2s it is sai orts to be one of the most perfect spi r.seen. Cole formerly Lived in New York, and was conneeted with the bond forzerics of Loverts and Gleason, fle hias been a counterfuiter si boyhood, and duriug the last three years has hundled more counterfeit money than in the United Stutes. He has served of imprisonment. g It is said by the Sccret Service officers that these counterfeit nutes zre the only vues m eir- tured, and u3 the prineip: graver are nowd ia custody the plates will soon be in their nds MUST CLOSE TN Speclat Dispatch to The Tri 2 B ILWAUKEE, Jan. 1S.—Acting-Mavor, Hobart this afternoon sent 8 communication to Chici of-Police Kennedy, stating that alter mature de- liberation he had become satisfiedrthat the con- cert saloons of the city are Celrimental to goad order and eood morals, and are an abuse of ti sulovp-licenses granted to their proprietors. e therefore Girceted the Calef of Police to notify the keepers of concert-salouns that such enter- tainments must close, and the Chizf isto make a report of eschand v order, to the end that t voked.

An Tncrease Over 1877-—The Causes Which Led Thercto—The Outlook for the Fue tare. Gt 5y + Net York Times. Jan. 10. The annnal circular of Dun, Barlow & Com pany’s Mercantile Ageacy eaves the total nume ber of faiiures in the United States during the year 1578 as 10,475, with total liabiiities amount~ ing to 3234383132, In 1877 the total faflures were 8,512, with liabilities reaching $190,669,938. This increase of 1,606 failares fn the past year s ed for by the fact that circumstances during the year were ** peculiarly influential in cocouraZing casualties of this character.” These circumstances aré wiven as six in number: (1) 1575 was the fifth yeur of .2 depression unpar- alleled " in character, extent, and duration. ) Unscasonable weather daring the first { quarterof tue year materiully restricted sales au collections, causing a good deal of embar- rassment. (3) Busiuess was materially re- uring the first Lalf of tue year by ary discussions in_and out of Con- eiher with a possibility of cbangesin ich created doubt and uncertsiaty as tothe future. (4) Au enormous shriskige was cattsed by a general und permanent decling in values all over the world, ereater thao ever befure in a similar period. (5) The yellow fever -epidemic .in the South caused a vast material Joss. from the forced suspewsion of lubor snd busiuess. (6) Fhe avolition of the Bankrupt law, and the lone delay permitted to elapse be- foreats repeal, nad more to do with tne in- crease of failures than any other circumstance. Rerarding the_outlook for the iuture, the cir- cular savs: It is signiticant that vut of the six leading civeumstances enumerated 2s con- tributing to: failures during the year five no lonzerexist. 1n the room of these disturbig clements other - favorable conditions gre ui, wiich ouzht in the immediate future so much improve busiuess asto make the de:rease of Yailures in 1879 much more maried than the inerease of 1373, he most impors tant.ot_tnese favorable conditions is the recurn 2o specie-payments without a ripoie of disturb- ance in_the busiess world, Another is the fact tiat values nave reached 2 level lower than the oold standard in normai times, without which no marked prosperity would bave been passl- le. A third indication of the approach of bet- ter times is the prosperity of the vast cluss who tis! the soil, while 1 fourth favorable feat- ure is the changing character of the industries of a laree number of persovs, as indicated i the increased amount of land taken up for acrual setuement.
