Spectac Cabie, Loxvor, Aug. 7-—The defeat of the Com- pensation till in the House of Lords exasper- aied Mr. Gladstone extremely, because more Liberals “rated” than voted for the meas- ure. When the Cabinet met on Wednes- day, Mr. Gladstone communicated his desire thst it should drop the smaller bills, like tue vaccination one, and proceed with the arger measures. Mr, Gladstone propably considers that, having defeated one big measure, there is little risk of the House of Lords throwing out any more. I: is known that it will amee to the Employers’ Liability. Qill, which passed through Committee in the ‘Hone of Commons this. morning, for the Jorles are now ussuming their favorit rdie when outof office, and are posing as the workingwan’s friend. The Tory Free Lances below the gangway in the House of Commons have played high for the working- men {n committee, and at every other stage of the Employers’ Liability bill The Lords may accept the House of Comnons’ amend- menis to the Burials bill, especially as the tinkering of the Archbishops rendered the measure unworkable. : THE IRISH PARTY, exasperated at the defeat of the Com- pensation bill, though the Government was not to blame, seem disposed to ‘wreak their disappointment on the Govern- ment measures. At present their plans are unsettled, but iney certainly mean mischief Their meeting was much divided yes terday, one faction advising to nin a-muck zgainst. Parliamentary business, another ore defending the Government from respon- sibility for the Lords’ vote. That vote has placed the Irish"party and the extreme Radi- ealson the same platform in the agitation which has begun for the abolition of the hereditary chamber. No notable popular demonstrations gre re- ported from demonstrative Ireland. Nev- ertheless, Mr. Redpath says the rejection of the bill created great indignation, and has done more to strengthen the lana agitation than anything since the breaking out of tho famine, and more even than the recent evictions. Mr. Parnell’s best friends at- tached no importance to the bill, and had esiimated, from the way in which the laws ere commonly enforced between landlord and tenant, that liad the bill been enforced justly the total amounts received under it would not have exceeded the crdinary weekly allo- cations of the Dublin Relief Committee, Mr. Redpath adds that THE FAMINE FEVER HAS BEEN CHECKED in Mayo, but that evictions are increasing in the West of Ireland. Sensational reporis have been current of fighting in the County Mayo, and of the lanc’ng of arms on the western coast, but teleranis recelved by the ‘Land League on Friday night an- nounce tha: the rumors are false. A’ thou- sand British troops have been ordered to Ire- land, and are expected to land at Cork to- marrow. There is not the slightest indica- Hon anywhere of a disposition to take up Ss.

Loxpox, Aug. 7.—An official dispatch from the British commander at Candahar, dated the 3d, says: Beyond slight skirmishing between the country people and the troops covering working parties, nothing has oc- curred in the past three days. Ayoob Khan is reported intending to reach Kohkaram, four miles southwest of Candahar, to-mor- row or Thursday. No news has been re- evived from Chaman-Choki or Khelat-i-Ghil- zai since we shut ourselves up. Deiensive preparations are proceeding sat- isfactorily. The entire Pathan population have left or been expelled. The wounded officers are doing well. ‘The accurate num- ber of our loss in the fight with Ayoub Khan is nov yet known, but the former estimaie is not far wrong. About 1,100 are killed and missing out of 2,800. AYOOB KHAN. The following from Quettah is dated the Sti inst.; Ayoob Khan is said to be within one march of Candahar, but is doubtful whether his force is sufliciently sirong to make the attack. Large numbers of Ghazis are coliecting around Candahar. There is bo regular rising near Khojak Pass, but con- voys are attacked by thieves. CABUL TO CANDATIAT. A Cabul dispatch ot the 6th says: There are some gatherings in Maidin and Wardak, but Gen. Roberts will probauly not be seri- ously oppused this side of Ghuznee. Mushki Alum’s son will precede the force to cencili- ate the tribes and arrange for supplies. Ab- durrahman Khan has moved six wiles nearer Cabul, anu will enter the city on the aepart- ure of the British. DELAYED. Another Cabul dispatch says: ‘The march of the force to Candahar_is delayed until Sunday. Abdurrahman Khan snows every disposition so aid us. His brother-in-law ac- ecumpanies Gen. Roberis to Candahar, as does also the son of Mushki Alum. Abdur- rahmap Kahn has sent a concilistory depu- taiion to Hashlin Knan, head of the anti- British faction at Ghuznee.” LORD LYTTON. At the special request of the Queen, Lord Lytton, who arrived yesterday at Porismouth from india, visited “her Majesty to-day at Osborne. THE NEW AMEER. ‘The Times says: We consider the evacua- tion of Cabul wilt strengthen the Ameer’s hands, and save the risk of further complica- fious. Our object is to give him the best chance of making good his position. This he would, considering the supicious jealousy entertained by the natives against all for- eigners, not be able to do as jong as he os- tensibly remained under ish pretection. From a military point of _yiew the arrange~ ment is also defensible. We have sustained no disasters in Northern Afghanistan. We therefore, without ioss of uilitary bot can prestige, fulfill our yomise that as soon ag the Ameer has been accepted by the Afghans we would evacuate the coun- uy.

THE RECENT ELECTIONS. Special Cable, Paws, Aug. 7—The immense Republican victory at the elections of the Councils Geu- eral dominates all other events. The Reac- tionists are dismayed. Maynard, the Figaro’s political director, asks that Jour- nal’s supporters whether it would not be wiser to accept the Republic and modify it, rather than by opposing it remain utterly impotent. The Conserva- tives joined issue on the exccution of the de- crees and Gambetta’s amnesty speech. The Government is greatly strengthened by the result of the elections, and Gambetta’s influ- ence is at the same time consolidated. Effective steps are threatened against the religiuus congregations, and, tc prevent the Jesuits from evading the law by placing their schools nominally in the hands of civil dis- ciples, the Republique Francaise demands a policy of firmness and energy, so as to de- prive the Jesuits of the control of higher education, and it advocates the repeal of the Falloux law of 1850. : The Left Centre, which conspired with the Rothschilds for the Orleanist restoration, is nowhere. Leon Say, taking every opportunity to get close to the victor, was with Jules Ferry and Gambetta at the distribution of the prizes at Sarbonne. M. Ferry announced there an important innovation. University pupils are henceforth released from spending years fabricating bad Latin compo- Sitions, and will learn inswad to read. Latin authors understandinzly. M. Ferry promised the mothers present to render junior colleges attractive and healthy. THE TONE OF THE PRESENT OBATORS toward the Government at the prize distribu- tion in th hovls was ironical and defiant. High society was brilfiantly represented, and was sympathetic. : é President Grévy, when journeying to Cherbuurg, will halt at Coreaux and Camon to receive addresses from the Mayors. His wife and daughter proceed incognito to wit- ness the maritime fétes. Taine’s mother is dead, at the age of 79, She was of the Roman type of character, and ; Was venerated by her son, whe never failed to visit her daily when she was in Paris, He also spent bis evenings with her when he had social or literary engagements.

With scarcely an exception they brisile with attacks on Gambetta. Their punzency and drollery is marvelous; but the last two were weaker and wore indecisive, Rochefort has hired abijou mansion, which may be described as the haunt of artisis.. The Stevens studio is next door. Rochefort’s daughter and his family are to live with him. MARSHAL, MACMAION. Certain statements regarding Marshal MacMaiion which were recently published in the Pall Malt Gazette, and cabled to the American newspapers, ate contradicted. Nut only has the ex-President never contemplated anything so Shakspearean as suicide, but he is in the best of health and spirits. His fin- ancial position is as satisfactory as pos- he has, to the st of “his belief, no debts. = The hotel in the Rue de Bellechasse, which was sold lately, Was never inhabited by the Mar- or by any member of his family, ' { shal and must not be* confounded — with two other mansions which he owned in the same street, or with the famous Hotel de Castries, the residence of the Duc de Cas- tries, Mime. MacMahon’s brother. There was’ a sale in the Rne_ de Belle chasse, but the house sold was the joint property of the Duchess de Magenta, er_sister, and the Duchess de Castries, who rented it to’ strangers. The Marshal's ex- penses during the Presidency were heavy, but they did not exceed the limits 0: the liberal allowance which was made him by the State. When he left the Elysée, as a matter of course, his expenditure was re- duced to suit his altered position. But the sensational stories woven out of this simple fact, and ] may say very generally believed here, are purely imaginative. : TANNER. ’ Nouews of Dr. Tanner had been received at 11 o’clock to-night. The French opinion on Dr. Tanner's experiment is pithily summed up in this evening’s France: ‘This pro- digious fast,” it says, “will not fill the stom- achs of the starving.. There is no need to be a great doctor to make such experiments. All the wretched make them each winter. Dr, Tanner has done the poor a great deal of mm. The famillar appeal, ‘My God, 3i pity me; ’ve eaten. nothing for two days, will never more have any effect on us.” CHAMRORD’S MANIFESTO. To the Western Assoctated Press.

CoNsTANTINOPLE, Aug. 7.—Dr. Parsons, the American missionary, who, with his serv- ant, Was murdered near Ismid, was making atour in the mountains and encamped on the roadside in the vicinity of some Zuruk, a7 semi-nomadic tribe. Two Zuruk shepherds confessed that they shot two iravelers as they slept, and robbed them of their money, amounting to less than $5. As Parsons did Not reach his destination at the expected time, and 2s his horses were found wander- ing about the hills, his friends instituted search, and the bodies were discovered under some bushes. The authorities, hearing adis- patch on the subject had been sent to the British Embassy, slowed more than usual zeal, and by threatening wholesale arrests in- duced the Zuruk to surrender the criminals, who are now imprisoned. NOT DUE TO FANATICISH. Duringa half century of American mis- sionary enterprise in Turkey this is only the third case of the murder of 2 missionary, and itis only just to the Turks to state that none of the crimes proceeded from religious fanaticism, ‘The present state of rublic in- security does not proceed from fanatical feeling, but from wholly different causes, for « which the Government is mainly responsi- ble. Among these may be mentioned the system of sending Circassians, Lazes, and other warlike refugees into peaceful dis- tricts. A few days agoa large shiv-luad of Circassians and Lazes landed in the Gulf of Ismid, near the spot where Dr.. Parsons was murdered. Asitis pretty certain that no nieasures will be taken to give these lawless immigrants the means of gaining an honest living, we shall probably soon hear of other cases of robbery'and murder. RUSSIA AND ENGLAND. Lonpow, Aug. 7.—The official correspond- ence hetween Russia and England touching the alleged Russian agitation_in Bulgaria and Koumelia is published. Russia denies the existence of any agitation, and asserts there are fewer Russian officers and men in the Bulgarian army now than at the close of the war; that none have gone to Roumelia since the Russian evacuation; that there have been some sales of small arms by Rus- sia to Bulgaria to replace antiquated pat- terns; but, that the whole of the sales only amount to §,000 rifles. GERMANY. TRYING TO OB AUSTRIA. Bertrs, Aug. '%—In an article which claims to bave official authorization the _Grenzboten, or Frontier Messenger, declares that Russia and England are intriguing to de- stroy the influence of Austria in the Danubi- au Commission, and endeavoring to rob Austria of what was promised her by the Treaty of Berlin, Ryssia and England, says the Grenzboten, are endeavoring to exclude Austria from her share in the surveillance of the Danube be- yond Golatz, placiug the same in the hauds of Servia and Roumania. The Grenzboten threatens that Germany and Austria will never permit their vital interests to be tram- pled upon by Gortschakotf and Gradsfone. ‘The whole article is written_in'a very angry and aggressive tone, and if in truth it repre- sents the feeling of the Goverement the out- look is not at all’ a peaceable one.

Rome, Aug. 7.—The Vatican has decided to augment and reorganize the Colleges of the Propaganda for Asia and Africa, being desirous of largely developing the Catholic Church in those parts.

COMMENTS OF THE FRENCH PRESS ON THE REFUSAL OF PARLIAMENT TO ERECT A MONUMENT TO HIM IN WESTMINSTER ABLEY. London Times. Panis, July 22.—The Kepublican papers express a.sober satisfaction at the success of Mr. Briggs’ motion. The Temps remarks that, although France has been quite uncon- cerned, she will none the less appreciate the fecling which has influenced the House of Commons and all Liberal England. “These scruples, this care of avoiding all that could tend to cool the gvod relations between the two peopies, cannot but draw closer the bonds uniting our young Republic to the ancient English Monarchy.” The Debats had always regarded the proposed memorial as purely designed to honor the memory of a young foreign Prince killed in fighting for England, and, therefore, as a purely English matter, to be setticd from an exclusively na- tional standpoint. 1t admits the force of Mr. Gladstone’s scruples as to Parliament en- croaching on the Dean’s. prerogatives, Still, it_cordially appreciates the testimony of friendship and good will given to France by the Ragtish people and Parliament: “ Nobody can deny that the manifestation of these sentiments Was quite spontaneous, and it would clearly be wngracivus for us not to be touched by it, the more so becaust the English people showed a warm ant active sympathy for unhappy and bered France ata time when it was to detect any trace of sympatby on the part of their Government.” On the other hand, M. de Cassagnac, in the Pays, describes the resolutionasa scandalous injus.ice, condemns .the Government fot Jukewarmness in allowing it to be carried, teproaches the English for grudging fune real honors to a Prince died for them, and dwells on the inconsistency of bewailing his tate and condoling with his mother, and now practically indorsing the insulting and abominable expr mn of an English mei- ber, that he only went to Zululand in a spirit of adventure, M,. de Cassagnac roundly asserts that the English Government has yielded to the pressure of the French Re- public, not from tear of France, for nobody now fears her, but with an- eye to the com- mercial treaty: ’France will agree to a sactifice on her wine and silk, and all that she sells, while England agrees to a sacrifice of her honor, The one gives up her merchandise, the, other a corpse dighteen times riddled for it, BI. Challeinel-Lacour, the Ambassador, has _ne- gotiated the affair, and has not hesitated to open all the gates of France to English com- merce, provided the doors of Westminster are closed to the coffin containing the re- mains of the martyr to English Lospitality.” M de Cassagnac, as will be observed, loses his temper so far as to imagine that the idea was to bury the Prince Imperial in the Ab- bey.. He goes on to suggest to a logical pendant a monument as Lieut. Carey, declares’ that the Napoleans. even when dead, have always ‘encountered a_hostile feeling in England, and advises the Eiapress to “take away her two beloved dead, conceal them in some corner where sympathy will watch over and piety protect them, and quit forever, without bestowing on’ it a last lavk, tme fatal country where her son was quietly aitowed to be murdered, and is now allowed to be insulted.” The Ordre, Prince N leon’s organ, confines itself to noting that Mr. Beresford-Hope’s alteration really buill- fied Mr. Briggs’ motlon, that Mr. Gladstone spoke becomingly of the august victim, and that Sir_S. Northcote ke in the same sense. Prince Napoleon’s son, Victor, by the way, is 15 to-day, and an antiJeromist organ remarks that he is, ther-tore, dynas- tically of age to assume the succession be- queathed to him py the Prince Imperial, | VARIOUS.

There is another possible consequence, which will be of still greater importance to ourselves. It is now well known: that the revival of trade last year was induced by the adyance of prices in the United States,which permitted the importation of British and Eu- the American Topean goods in. spite of A taitf. ‘That advauce was - stimulated by the large imports of gold in part. payment for the enccmous quantities of American grain exported. The prospects of good crops on this side the Atlantic this year have caused av y in the States, as it has been foreseen that the American farmers may be unable to market the large surplus which they will again have. Deticient American exports night cause'a further de- cline of general prices in the Srates, and even result in an exportation of guld there, which would have the effect of still further depressing prices, and thus removing the condition which permitted the entry of our manufactures during the past — sea- son. With deficient crovs in Germany and Northeastern Europe, however, an enlarged outlet for American’ grain will be again provided; and, assuming that our own crops are good, the position will be culiarly favoraule fur tree-tiade England.

FIcDonald, of S:. Louis Whisky-Ring Notoriety, Given What Heo Is Pleancd to Call a Fow Reminiscences—“Syipns” Identity—Some Very Personal allu- sions to Babcock. Speclal Dispatch to Ths Ohtcago Tribune, Sr. Louis, Aug. 7.—The publication to-day of the advance sheeis of Gen. John A. Me- Donald’s book containing - revelations con- cerning the whisky ring has creuied little sensation, Gen. McDonald being so well known here that his testimony loses much of its weignt. The work is strictly personal in its character, and contains some strking pas- sages. McDonald gives a lengthy account of the famous “SylIph.” Hesays “Sylph’s” | real name was Louise Hawkins, formerly a respectable young girl who fell into bad She was known as Lu Haw- ways. kins. While Joyce and .Babcock were walking down Fifth street they met Miss Hawkins. Joyeo tipped his hat to her. Babcock was enraptured by her beauty, and pronounced ber as lovely.as a sylph. At Babcock’s request, Joyce followed her and arranged fora meeting ata Fitta street restaurant. After drinking a bottle of wine, Babcock and the. woman went to Mc- Donald’s rooms. After that Babcock always referred to her.as “‘my Sylph,” and signed a number of telegrams and letters wilh the sobriquet. McDonald relates that ‘ Louise Hawkins is still a resident of St. Louis, and, though . unmarried, yet. her every want is promptly administered to by a wealthy gen- tleman of the city, in whose elegant resi- dence, near Grand avenue, she is queen.” Of a contribution alleged to have becn made to Bahcock, McDonald says: “J started for Washington, but on the preceding day Col. Joyce had collected the sum of 35,00) from the distillers and rectifiers, which be re- quested me to deliver to Gen. Babcock in ac- cordance with the understanding hé had be- tween them when the latter was in attend- ance at the St. Louis Fair. This money, as J saw it counted, was in bills of the denomi- nation of $1,000 and £500. Lreuched Wash- ington on the morning of Dec. 7, and directly after office hours 1 went to the White House. . The first person 1 met there was Gen. Babcock, whom i found seated at his desk in the Secretary’s room, and after pass- ing the usual greeting I took the money from my pocket and handed it to him, with the re- mark, ‘Here is $5,000 which Joyce collected from the boys for your benefit before I left St. Louis.’ He took the package and placed ivin his pocket without counting the money with many expressions of gratitude, remark- ing that he understood the source from which the money came.” He alleges regarding Grant: “I told him that Lhad just given Geo. Babcock 95,000, which I regarded asa purt of the proceeds of our campaign fund in St. Louis. sured me it was all right, as he had intrusted Babcock with the details of Western mat- ters, and whatever we did with him (Bab- vock) would be quite satisfactery, and added: ‘I will seeto it, however, that you get allthe changes you’ want? 1 then'ex- plained to him what an uncompromising ‘old hog? (as 1 used the term) the Globe was; chat we were compelled to give the paper from $300 to $ every week in order to pacify it and kvep it for us in the coming vampaign. His reply was, ‘Well, you must do the vest you can?” "3 Of bow he presented Crant with a teans MeDonald_ si after telting how he had, taken the President out riding: “Just then President Grant greeted me, and said, ‘Mack, Cnever saw better horses. Why, when we ot out on the road they wouldn't take ie whip, for when I drew the lines they went like a shot out of a_ gun, You should have seen -Mr. Borie. He drew his teet under the seat, pressed his hat over his eyes, and while he clenched the buggy bow-with one hand and the sent with the other, he would every moment ask me if I didn’t. think the horses were running away” In a moment afterwards he added, would fike to own those: horses, and if you will seli them I will give you $1,000 for them? LI replied, ‘General, 1 don’t want to swindle you in that way,’ but 1 used swindle”? in an tronical manner, for 85,000 wouldn’t have bought them. We joked about the horses some time, but before leaving that evening I told the President the ‘tea was at his service during his stay, end I hoped he would have much pleasure in them. His delight was manl- tested by the most constant use on several mornings. going to the stables himself after m. Seeing that the Was the source of so much pleasure to the President, I at length told him that he should have these horses, and for him to think no more of buy- ing the team. [ascertained that he had no handsome buggy, so took it upon myself, as [wid him, to procure a rig such ag I would buy for my own ornamental use as weli as for effective service. He thauked me and declared that nothing would please him so much as such a tribute of my friendship.” Of MeDonald’s charges asa whole it may be said that they are direct against Babcock, but convey no direct proof, excepting his dlatemente, that Grant knew of the work of je ring.
