should succeed in seating him Mey isthe White House they will soon show {heir true faces! Their cry to-day in 1880 is the same asin 1872: * We stoop to conquer’! The greatest recommendation of Hancock in their ‘es is his total inexperience in all thoso ques- ions of our public and political life which since fhe close of the War were tho order of business gnd occasionally caused no inconsiderable polit- fat commotion among the people. Their hope ied intention isto make Mr. Hancock, if elected, ir pliable and willing tool. To what extent this hope is correctly: founded upon his mental qualifications and his character, we are unable to say. So much seems to be certain, how- trer, that the struggle between Garficid and Hancock will be desperate, and a victory will eny be gained through a severe contest. With qilden, Garfield would have had easy work, but not 60 with Hancock. The dissensions existing jn the Democratic ranks of the State of Now York were 80 far regurded by Republicans as one of the chief factors in their calculations - for November. Hancock's nomination seems to pave disposed of all these differences and bick- exings, at least for the present; we cannot fore- {ellwbat may happen hereafter. The Repub- Jian party can dispense with the Electoral voto of New York, but must have ir its stead all the Northern States, Indiana included, to be victorious, And that is, under ali mstances, a hard piece of work. tn conclusion we may state that the Re- wblican Convention disposed of Grant and Bisine, Sherman and Edmunds, and the Demo- qatic Convention of Tilden ‘and Hendricks, Thurman and Payne. Both parties have freed themselves from the dictation of political ‘posses; both have eclected new men as their Jeaders: both go to battle without being incum- pered by any of the old leaders and their sate lites. This isa good reason to rejoice. But det- terit would be by far if both candidates should determine to fight only with honest aud respect- able weapons. We fear, however, that in this twe can hardly tone down our expecta- tions low enough.’ AUDITOR SWIGART. ‘The Belleville Stern (Dem.) published a short “ime ago# statement that Mr. Swigart, candi- @ste for State Auditor on the Republican ticket, Jost bis arm in consequence of injuries received by a thrashing-machine before the War, and not through & cannon-shot during the War. The Siern, now being satistied that its statement was false, retracts the same in the following words: ™ Mr. Swigart served asa soldier in the War of the Rebellion; this he hes proven to us by offciat documents.

It is expected that a prolonged contest will probably be averted. Ever since the House refused to accept Mr. Gladstone’s advice a deadlock has existed. Brad- jJaugh, though maintaining neither perfect consistency nor perfect good taste, succeeded in putting the House of Commons completely wrong, establishing himself be- fore the country as the unwelcome champion of political and religious liberty. The House of Commons assumed a_ position dis- tinctly outside the Jaw, refusing to admit Bradlaugh, yet dealing with him as a member, usurping the judicial power to interpreta statute, and still more despotically claiming the right to suspend the statute as if it were merely a rule of the House, Mr. Gladstone, from an excess of conscientiousness, : COMMITTED A MISTAKE. Beginning by declining to make Mr. Brad- Jaugh’s admission a party question, he left the Liberals free to vote according to their opinion or prejudice. When the House had rejected his advice, Mr. Gladstone consist- ently refused to take further part, throwing the entire responsibility on the House itself. Sir Stafford Northcote incautious- Ty resumed the leadership, joyfully inducing his eager supporters to ac- cept the open conflict which Bradlaugh challenged. When Bradlaugh was once im- prisoned the Tories saw the mistake into which they had been led by a desire to compromise the Liberals with atheism. Lord Beaconsfield sent word to Sir Stafford Northcote not to persevere in this policy, which must result in making Bradlaugh a political martyr. Hence Sir Stafford Northcote’s motion to release Brad- laugh thenext day, uot anticipating Brad- lJaugh’s determination, in regard to taking the oath again, repectfully to defy the author- ity of the Speaker. At this juncture, when a renewal of the previous scene appeared inevitable, Mr. Gladstone intervened, ARRANGING A COMPROMISE with Labouchere, who supported Bradlaugh throughout with great tact and courage. Mr. Gladstone, through the party whips, agreed to give Labouchere an early day for a motion to rescind the previous vote refusing Bradlaugh permission to aftirm, Bradlaugh meanwhile not at- temptiny tw enter the House. The Ministerial whip will issue instructions on Monday to support: Labouchere’s mo- tion, Mr. Gladstone thus finally as- sumes the position he might have assumed in the beginning.* He is con- vinced that it is impossible otherwise to arrive at a solution without a conflict be- tween the House constituencies. Not only Northampton, but Birmingham, Newcastle, and numerous large towns are already stir- ring. Ateetings have been called by working- men all over England, andthe country isina state of ferment. A VAST POPULAR MOVEMENT is organizing, and unknown dangers are threatening. The timely concession by Mr. Gladstone prevents a gathering of the storm before the public had heard more than the first mutterings. The Radical leaders, com- municating with the artisan organizations, gave warning: of the impend! outbreak, It is doubtful whether the Tories will op- pose Labouchere’s motion. ‘The Liberal Non- conformists will support it reluctantly but compulsorily. All parties agree that the 1ouse cannot now retreat without a loss of dignity, but the Liberal leaders see that something more than dignity is at stake. Bradlaugh has conciliated no sonal good will among his opponents, but has much impressed his friends and enemies by the ability of his speech at the bar of the ddouse, and the courageous candor with which he pursued his purpose and declined all concessions of principle. Nobody doubts to-day that Mr. Bradlaugh will take his seat next week. THE CINCINNATI CONVENTION excites little interest among the English public compared with that at Chicago. Grant’s disappearance from the political stage removes the only figure familiar to Englishmen, who neither know nor care about the details of American politics. Lead- ing friends of America express the hope of continuance of Republican ascendency, be- Hieving that a mai ‘the resuits of the War, sound finance, and Civil-Service re- form to be otherwise impossible, The Tine, which has heretofore volubly _discusse American questions, hus preserved an abso- Jute silence editorially since the exposure of its numerous blunders. Even the Philadel- phia correspondent has ceased prophesying. SARAH BERNHADT. : Wednesday Bernhardt appeared at Manchester as Adrienne.

THE CLOSING MOVEMENT. To the Western Associated Press, Lonpon, June 26.—The resolution of Ste- venson, Lideral;'in the House of Commons, to close the public houses on ‘Sunday in En- gland and Wales, was amended so as to ex- press the ovinion of the House that provision should be 1nade in the country for the sale during'limited hours of malt liquors for con- sumption off the premises where the liquors are sold, and for the needful requirements of metropolitan districts.

Puttkammer, Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs, said the views ex- pressed during the debate had not shown that uny desire existed for peace, Should the Dill fail to become a law he said the respon- sibility would fall on the Centre party. Gov- ernment begged of the House to pass the bill, and especially the fourth clause. The Gov- ernment is awaiting the decision of the House, but the Minister could not yet state whether 1t could accept the decision or not. The debate was adjourned until Monday. TURKEY. ATROCITIES OF ROUMELLAN MILITIA. CoNnsSTANTINOPLE, June 26.—The Commis- sion, composed of four Bulgarians, three Turks, and three foreigners, which investi- gated the recent atrocities upon the Mussul- mans, committed by the East Roumelian militia, find sixteen Mussulmans killed, twelve without colorable pretext, sixty cases of rape, and inuch robbery. Capt, Vasher- hoff, a Russian, the commander of the mili- tia, four other officers, and thirty-one privates hhave been arrested, THE GREEK FRONTIER. .. BERLIN, June 26.—The line. of frontier adopted by the supplementary Cunference is as follows: On the east it follows the north- ern valley crest of Salambrias at a consider- able distance from the river up to the north- ward around Metzero, slices away a little more than one-third of the Greek-speaking Province of Zagoro, thence strikes across the country to and includes Janina, and joins Calamas_ considerably above the middle point of its course, and, following the bed of this stream, falls into the Strait of Corfu with the northern arm of the river. TURKISH IMPUDENCE. CoNSTANTINOPLE, June 25,—The Porte has addressed a note to the foreign Ambassadors stating it is informed the Conference at Ber- lin has adopted a frontier line giving Janina to Greece. The note reminds the Powers that in accordance with the Treaty of Berlin they have only the right of mediation, not of final decision in this matter. The Porte also announces its intention of occupying the dis- tricts ceded to Montenegro when the agita- tion amongst the Albanians has subsided, and of compensating Montenegro for the ex- penses she has incurred in connection with this matter. STATE OF SIEGE. ,Prevesa has been declared in a state of siege. TURKEY'S REMUNERATION. Pants, June %—The Memorial Diplo- matiue says the Powers have been consid- ering what compensation shall be offered Turkey for the territory ceded to Greece. They have decided this compensation shall consist in facilitating Turkey’s financial po- sition, the Powers giving it their assistance and codperation. RUSSIA. COMPETITION IN CORN—CHANGE IN CULTI VATION. Sr. Pererssone, June 25.—Russian criti- cism and American corn are up. <A special meeting has just been held (the second in this fortnight) at Odessa of the intluential Imperial Society of Village Economy (Im- peratoreki Obstchestda Selskago Khoziaest- va), of South Russia, to hear a paper read by Gospodin Nerutcheff on “ American compe- tition and its aspects as regards Russia.” The learned speaker and. author of this paper said some extraordinary things as in- dicative of the inroads of American corn upon the great agricultural interests of Russia, ad- mitting that America’s sickle and reaper were more disastrous than Turkey’s cimeter or campaigns. He laid down the rule that, al- though transport is easier and cheaper in America than in Russia, the means of com- peting with transatlantic rivalry is not to be found in an improvement and extension of the railroad system, however desirable both may be, but in a radical change of the system of agriculture’in this country. Russians must see and timely admit this. Ue then went on to show that the praleproducing provinces of South Russia havesuch a sparse opulxtion that dearness of labor greatly en- fahess the cost of raising com. He urged that immigration from the densely-populated provinces of Middle Russia should be en- couraged by the Society, and this Proposal was so well received by the members that a committee was forthwith appointed to report upon the best means of carrying itout. His opinion, however, that Russian agriculiure was behind the age was not so well greeted. Gospodin Pashkoff, one of the great land- owners and most influential of the members present, said that the newest improvements in agricultural appliances were to be inet to- day all over Russia, and that some of their fields would compare with those of Ohio and Illinois in point of mechanical devices to help the husbandmen, and most of these ap- pliances had come from Chicago or Cincin- nati. We said if the railroad transport serv- jee was only more extensive and cheaper, Russia would be able to compete on equal terms with the United States, a statement that met applause and discussion. Russia is struggling to eut off American corn from her markets, and while American prices prevail as they now are the growers in Ohio, Michi- gan, and I!Jinois may count upon a coutinued future-in this great market. GERMANY. THE CHURCH BILL. BERtry, June 26.—Bismarck has conferred with Beningsen, the leader of the Moderate Liberals, and Haieghtaup, the Parliamentary leader of the Conservatives, with the view to effect a union of the two parties in regard to the Churel: bill. LOOKING FOR FILIBUSTERS. — Lonpoy, June 26.—The authorities in Cuba have been very watchful of late to guard against the landing of tilibusters anywhere on that island, and Spanish men-of-war and gunboats cruising in those watersthave re- ceived the strictest orders to be on the look- out for filibusters from the United States, disguised as merchantinen, and to insist on their showing papers in all cases of doubt. This extreme precaution gave rise to the re- cent boarding of ‘two innocent American vessels. by a Spanish war steamer, and a cablegram receiyed to-day from Havana States that the Spanish gunboat Conto fired a shot across the bows of the Privas, in order to compel her to show her colors. in acenra- ance with the orders of the Captain-General applicable to similar cases. No act of aggres- ston was intended, and justification fselalined on the ground of the facts above stated. FRANCE. HIGH-LIFE ‘WEDDINGs, & Special Cable. Pe Pants, June 26.—The announcement of the wedding of the Marquis of Anglesey ana Mrs. Wodehouse, née King, surprises the English fashionable world. ‘The invitations were is- sued two days ago. The ceremony will take place at the British Embassy next week. ‘The Marchioness-elect isan American. The nominal income of the Marquis is £40,000, but the mortgages on his property are heavy. His castle on the Isle of Anglesey is one of the finest residences in England. Another high-life wedding now exciting public attention is that of Count Bearn, nephew of the Duc de Broglie,and Mile. Valery, daughter of the Bonapartist Senator from Corsica, and the owner of the Mediter- ranean line of packet boats. The bride is famously rich. The bridegroom is a scion of the family whose prosperity is derived from the old Countess Bearn, of Dumas’ novel “ Cagliostro.’. Many of the carriages used in the wedding-party were lined with lilac satin, and the heads of the horses were crowned With orange-blossoms. ‘The bride was simply attired. She is a beau- ty of the Corsican type. She is small and dark-eyed, and has regular features and an energetic expression. + GAMBEITA, Gambetta’s successful speech in the Cham- bers has exposed him to virulent attacks. He is charged by the Reactionists and the Radicals with meditating the reéstablishment. of the Dictature. The Jeromite, Chambard- ist, Orleanist, and Clemencist newspaper organs ironically hail him as “ Cesar, the mister, mighty as Jove, of the Republic.” His intluence is neither Cesaristic nor dangerous, but is beneficent. Gambetta’s father and mother are coming froin Nice to the Palais Bourbon to attend the grand National fete on July 14, and to witness the presentation of regimental flags by President Grévy at Long- Champs. The Colonels will then take their oaths of allegiance to the Republic. THE KING OF GREECE, ; fearing to give Bismarck umbrage, will haste through Paris on his way to Copenhagen. COMMUNISTS AND NIHILISTS. Special Cable, Loypox, June 26—A Herlin correspond- ent telegraphs as follows: “A journalist emissary who passed through here to-day informed me that it is agreed that the amnesty in France will not interrupt the re- lations existing at Geneva between the Communists and the Nihilists. Nihilists will .follow the amnestied Communists to Paris, but as those among the former who have resided in Switzerland are well known to the French police others will be selected, partly among the Russians already inhabit- ing Paris, and partly among persons who will be hereafter designated. The mission of the journalist seen to-day has reference to these arrangements.” MAGISTRATES RESIGNED. To the Western Associated Press, Pants, June 26.—A number of Magistrates have resigned rather Fban excente the de- i crees against the Jesuits unauthorized congregations. { AUSTRIA. THE RECONSTRUCTED MINISTRY. Vrenna, June26,—The Ministerial changes in the Austrian Cabinet have been gazetted, as,follows: Dr. Dunajeuski, Minister of Finance; Baron Street, Minister of Justice; Maj.-Gen. Baron Welsersheim, Minister o! Militia; Baron Kremer, Minister of Com- merce. ASIA MINOR. THE FAMINE. Loxpon, June 2.—A correspondent at Pera, describing the famine in Asia Minor, says he learns from all sides that the British Consuls, the Armenian Kelief Committee, and the American missionaries have been most active, and have done all in their power te slteviote the miseries of the famished pop- lation. . SPAIN, THE MOORISH CONFERENCE. Maprm, June 26—The Moorish Confer- ence has settled, in the conciliatory form prepared by Italy, the question of the tax payable by the Moorish subjects under pro- tection of foreign Consuls. ‘It is believed it also settled the question of religious liberty. THE RIFLE. PRACTICE AT DOLLYMOUNT. Destrry, June 26.—The American and Irish rifle teams practiced to-day at Dollymount, with the following result at the S00, 900, and 1,000 yard ranges: AMERICAN, a BASS IRISH. John Rigby. Witlinm Rigby. M. Milner. Average: 1 OF 8-9, . Brown missed the eighth shot at the S00- yard range. The aggregate score of the ‘Americans was 1,273. The six Irishmen who, it is_believed, will form the team are: Fenton, Young, Joynt, John Rigby, William Rigby, and Milner. They made an aggregate score of 1,245.. This result has affected the betting, and large odds are now placed on the Americans. The Americans attended the theatre to- night, when an ode was read in their honor. VARIOUS, SOUTH AFRICA, RBSSARSAay Capetown, June 2%.—After three days’ | debute in the House Assembly on the pro- posal for a conference of the South African Colonies and States, the previous question was moved and accepted by the Ministry, the §Premier stating that, looking to the evenly-divided feeling in the House, the Government would not feel justified in ad- vising the Governor to convene a conference on the confederation question, and the mat- ter would, therefore, drop.

THE RUSSIAN PACIFIC SQUADTON- St. PeTerssuxc, June 2,—Leesovsky, Minister of Marine, has been appointed to the chief commandof the Pacific squadron— ten vessels, AN OLD FIGHT. Des Morxss, Ia., June 26.—The friends of the Hon. J. B. Grinnell say that his indict- ment for perjury in Marshall County in con- nection with the Central Railroad cases, is but a part of the old fight between the Cate party and the anti-Cate party. This claim seems to be sustained by thé admitted fact that the question of wrong to nny one else or of benefit to Grinnell himself is not raised nor involved. om New Zealand Women. A recent traveler, Mr. J.C. Crawford, reports that some of the women of New Zealand are decidedly pretty, and can write with a good, firm hand on slates and flax leaves: but adds that they rub noses by'way of salutation; that they make profuse lamentations at times; that they have raised objections to roads, ns render- ing their country accessible to un invading or avenging force; that they eat tree-fern and, what is worse, the intestines of pigs, and occa- sionally hunt down, pound, roast, and eat lizards as being the source of evil; that they are tre- mendous talkers, and often are very dirty in their person. CASUALTIES. FATAL COLLISION. Sr. Louis, Mo., June 26.—A freight train was ditched at Confidence Hill, on the Van- dalia Road, about fifteen miles from here last night. A wrecking train was sent out from East St. Louis, cleared the track, and returned. It was started out again about noon to-day to pick up the wrecked cars. When just this side of Hunter's Switch, about six miles out, It collided with west bound freight No. 12.

I made a solemn vow last summer, while I was roaming through Nat- ure’s superb galleries, that I would never so much as touch pencil or brush again.” And the dear girl sat meditatively balancing her tea- spoon on the edge of her Sévres cup, no longer pale and spiritiess, but as pretty a picture of rosy health a3 one could wish to see. Madame, who was still leisurely sip- ping her coffee, gazed admiringly at her eldest-born, who might have sat as a model forthe Venus de Medici, so rounded had her form become from a close companionship with Nature, and from drinking in most unheard of quantities of ozone, the summer previous, And Monsieur, who was as usual reading his loved TRIBUNE, smiied complacently; for, although perpetual motion should never be discovered, and Edison might be years in perfecting his won- der‘ul fnventions, yet good living and cheap rates at & pleasant summer-resort, bad already become reconciled in this new El- dorado of the Northwest, and the much agi- tated question of “ WHERE TO FLIT TO,” had long ago been decided, since which time all was as placid and serene as the bosom of Seneca LakeinSummer. “Eureka!” shouted Felicia, the pet, handing back her plate to be filled for the third time.

Unlike mostpreten- tious belles, its details are as perfect as its en- semble.

For days we have felt her nearness; have seen it inthe rapid unfolding of the leaves—in their softness of coloring—in the exqusit strains of the orfole—in the gentle breeze which so coyly fans our cheek—in the reverential attitude of Nature herself. Ali at once the morning dawns with 2 new loveliness; a million flowery gems burst into bloom; and the whole orchestra of Nature peals forth ‘in one grand welcoming march; and lo! she is with us, radiant as the morn itself. O leafy June! crowned Queen of the whole cir- cle of months, We bow down and worship thee. | Sweeter’ than the lips of Hebo is thy gentle breath, And richer than all the fabrics of the East is thy flowered robe. The breoze of the morning plays upon thy fair row, And all the airs of Heaven fold thee in a tender embrace. i The North-Wind forgets its fury, and greets thee with a caress; And the whole air is tremulous with song. ‘The silent woods give forth their subtle sweets, While all the roses of the Earth exhale thelr maddening odors for thee alone. The rank form, like the Scottish clans of Rod- ericl U2, Stand ready plumed to do thy bidding, And all the green Earth does homage to thee, ©, Beauteous Queen! ‘People in the clty ure apt to think they must forego thelr accustomed luxuries in coming to the country; but those who have been so fortu- nate as to Visit the “ Delis" express themselves as HAPPILY DISAPPOINTED.

After supplying your inner needs, the steamer will take you to “ Paradise,” and float you back by the witching light of the moon, and to the musical sound of the plashing of waters; after which you have only to crawl in between two sheets as white as the driven snow, and as sweet as the breath of new-mown hay, and sleep the sleep of the just. You need not even concern yourself about awaking in time for THE GRAND OVERTURE, forthere is something about these morning- concerts that will open the eyes of the most in- yeterate sleeper in Christendom.
