The Political Situation. WHAT THE HON. CHARLES FOSTER SAYS OF IT, OF THE PRESIDENT'S POLICY, ETC. Areporter of THE STAk went up to the sec ond story of the building on F street occupied by the republican campaign committee this afternoon. In the back room on that floor was found Representative Foster, of Ohio,;who is running the machine in the absence of Sec- retary Gorham. Mr. Foster, better known as “Charley” Foster, is one of the best natured men in Congress. He is almost as genial as Judge Key. The reporter intimated that he would like to “ask a few questions.” Mr. Fos- ter crossed his lees, encased in checked linen pants, and said he could see no objection to “ant Ting a few questions.” see,” said the reporter, “that you are quot y some as ridiculing the President's southern policy, and that by others you are eee assaying that it has been a total failure. “IT have been somewhat misrepresented on that subject,” was his reply, “In my speech accepting the Aomination to Congress 1 did say that the measures of conciliation adopted by the President were not so successful as I had hoped they would be. I hoped that there would be a large accession to the independent Movement in the south, as a result of the olicy, and also the toning down and destroy- Ihe to a great extent of the old secession spirit of that section. Ido see some progress in the independent movement which seems to be springing up in the south. I do not see, how- ever. any great amount of the fruits of concili- tian down there.” i ‘Star.—You believe, then, there is still a solid south? ster. Of course. Fyerybody can see that. la lieve that as long as the north is menaced with a solid democratic south it is our duty to present a soli¢ front. No other course isso likely to br ‘k upa solid south, as to have it understood that so loug as that nae exists, so long will the north remain united. Stur.—You are quoted as saying, Mr. Foster, eae President has no friends in Ohio. Is that true? Foster.—Of course the President has friends in Ohio. The mass of the party there are not in aecord with him, though. This is the re- sult as much of disappointment at the minner that he has distributed public patronage as of disagreement with his southern and civil ser- vice policies. Notwithstanding his course, the great mass of our people believe in his honesty of character and political soundness. Star.—What has been the effect of the gerry- mander in Obi Foster.—That remains to be be told after the election It is, as it was intended to be, somewhat disastrous to the republican party. It is not acceptable even to the democrats themselves. The result has been long, pro- tracted and bitter controversies over nomina- tions. It has engendered a good deal of bad feeling on all sides. Star.—How do you look at the prospects for the fall elections? Foster.—They are very favorable, indeed, to the republicans. We have reports from ‘all quarters showing that our party is organizing and rallying grandly. We will not come out of the fight worsted by any means. _ Star.—Have you paid much attention to the new party. the nationals? Foste: have, indeed. It is a party that nrapidly. Its growth seems unpre- It is bound to be an important fac- fall elections and in the next elec- tion for President. Star.—Its strength has, of course, to come from the two other parties? . Foster.—Of course. It is making serious in- roads into the ranks of both parties. Star.—W hich is going to suffer the most? —That is another thing that the elec- have to settle. I believe, however, and with good reason, too,I think that the republican party will not be as seriously af- fected by the nationals as the democrats will. Foste Everyt Thome ssen, *‘ the Dynamite Fiend.” Editor of Evening Star:—Ybur issue of August 5th, contained an interesting article, entitled “ Europe Revisited.” One paragraph of the letter referred to Thomassen—the so- called “dynamite fiend” of two years ago—in such a manner as to leave no doubt in the reader’s’ mind that your correspondent thourht, with some of the rest of us, that Thomassen was one of the most cold-blooded of would-be murderers the world has ever seen. Hut there seems to be another side to the question, and for the purpose of giving a fair chance to the ‘man who is down,” I ask you to find room for the following. (Theitalics are mine.) Ina recent article in the New York Inde- pendent, Rev. Dr. J.-P. Thompson, for some years an American resident at Berlin, says:— “More than two years have passed, and not a shadow of evidence has en found that Thomas (who, by the way, was quite as much German as American,) had effected any in- surance by the doomed ship, or meditated any ciime whatever, or committed any offence veyond attempting to smuggle on board ex- e material destined to some experimental e in the Cuban war. He had been a priva- teersman; bu. was not the fiend German fancy pic.ured him.” Now, Mr. Editor, I am not one of those sick- ly sentimental ones Who would condone tre crime of every scoundrel. I believe in hemp rope quickly applied for murderers, and grape s “well rammed home,” for street rioters: but I do hope, for the sake of human- ity, that the version of Thomassen’s case as given by Dr. Thompson is the true one. R. Ifthe above theory be correct, why did Thomassen kill himself? That circumstance would seem to admit his guilt—Ep, Star. THE SIxT¥-SIXTH CAaLL.—The Treasury department this afternoon issued the ty sixth call for the ones of five million 520 consols of 1865. Half of these are rezis- tered and half coupon bond: Nos. 1 aND 2.—Messrs. C. Michler Ray, of Washington, D. C., and M. C. McDonald, late manager of Willard’s hotel, in this city, come out Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, in the recent competitive examination for position of as- sistant paymasters in the navy. They have not, as yet, been officially appointed. CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES.—Isaac Mar- ton has been nominated for Congress by the republicans in the 14th Ohio district, and Hon. 2. J.McGinniss nominated by the nationals. The democrats of the 3d Ohio district have nominated J. A. McMahon for Congress. R. L. Gibson has been renominated for Ponbress in the 1st Louisiana district,and E.W. Robert- son in the 6ta. J. H. oie the democratic member eed in the late scandal, has been renominated by acclamation to represent the 3d district. The national greenbackers how have candidates for Congress in all the districts of Maine. The democrats of the 7th district of Iowa have indorsed the greenback candidate for Congress. The democratic can- didate for Congress in the 2d district of Michi- in is a retired Methodist minister. The na- jonals of the 13th district of Indiana have nominated the chief owner of a national bank for Congress. THE NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION AND THE SENATORSHIP.—The Raleigh (N. C.) Nev-s classifies the members elect ‘to the general as- sembly of that state as follows: Senate—Dem- ocrats 3, republicans 12, independents 3, doubtful 5. House—Democrats 67, republi- cans 38, independents and nationals 6, doubt- ful 9, iving the democrats a majority of 2{ on joint ballot, after conceding all the doubtful districts, 11, to the opposition. The News says this showing ought to end the Senatorial Squabble in the newspapers, unless it is the purpose to prejudice and operate upon the minds of the jury of the legislature, and that as far as Gov. Vance is concerned, he is acan- didate before the legislature, in the event of his nomination by ag caucus, otherwise he ior will not be a candi: THE MounictraL ELEcTION at Portsmouth N.H., yesterday, resulted as follows:—Wm.

DELAWARE DEMOCRATS. The pee democratic state convention, in session at Dover iene afternoon, nom- inated John W. Hail, of Kent county, for gov- ernor, by acclamation. E. L. Martin, of Sus- sex county, was nominated for Congress on the first ballot, receiving 101 votes against 70 for John H. Paynter. Resolutions were adopted holding the republican party respon- sible for the depressed condition of business and vigorously denouncing the racy which gave the electoral votes of Sgnth Car- olina, Louisiana and Florida to Hayes and Wheeler, against the clearly expressed will of the yoters of those states, and declaring a firm conviction that the refusal of the repub- lican members of the electoral commission to investigate the charges of fraud, was a viola- tion of pub'ic duty; indorsing and approving the investigation instituted by the House of Representatives, and asserting “that the only honest and lawful money of the people of the United States is gold ‘and silver coin, or a paper currency convertible into such coin at the will of the holder.” LOUISIANA DEMOCRATS. A dispatch from Baton Rouge says: The Louisiana state convention platform recom- mends the levee system; calls for aid to the Southern Pacific railroad and Brazilian steam- ship line; indorses the Nichol’s government; approves the fraud investigation by the House ; asserts that the welfare of the industrial and wealth-produeing classes is of paramount in- terest to the people, and that those whose labor and enterprise produce wealth should be se- cured in its enjoyment; expresses sympathy for the laboring classes; demands that the national banking system shall be abolished and national bank notes retired. and in lieu thereof that the government of the United States should issue an equal amount of green- demands the unconditional repeal of is imposing a tax upon the circulation of state banks, and the immediate and uncondi- tional repeal of the resumption act; opposes contraction; says that all bonds and obliga- tions of the national government should be paid in greenbacks, except where it is other- wise provided; and demands the repeal of all laws passed subsequent to the original law creating the public debt, by which ob tions of contract lave been made more onerous.

They have refused an offer of the employers to compro. mise for $10.50 per week. The employers d clare that it is a liberal price, the best they can offe that if itis rot accepted they can and will get their work done in the east atless prices. There are 1,000 shoemakers of this class in Chicago, and those who have not al- ready struck threaten to do so. The strike in- cludes all the leading wholesale houses.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS. U. 8. Bonds Abroad. Lonpon, August 7._The Times this morn- ing, in its financial article, say: Prices of U. S. bonds continue weaker, owing to the noticeable diminution of American purchases. ‘These seem to fluctuate more or less with the shipments of grain. When the shipments were large, buying was brisk; when they de- creased, so did the demand for bonds. Prob- ably, therefore, with the renewed activity recently observed in the American wheat trade, the price of bonds will again harden. It will be extremely interesting to see whether the currency demand of the Americaa govern- ment under the resumption scheme will not now lead to the withdrawal of gold instead of bonds, for should gold go in in any quantity during the coming autumn the European monty markets might be seriously embar- rasse The Paris Awards.

Where mearney Gets His Inspira- ion A special to the Herald from San Francisco says: “Kearney’s debut at Boston has been looked forward to here with great interest. It was rumored before his departure that parties here were preparing speeches for his eastern audiences. He repudiated the very thought of such humiliation, affirmed his determina- tion to be guided by pure, unadulterated sand lot inspirations, to the consternation of his admirers. His speech in Faneuil hall comes over the wires radiating with science and elo- quence which is perfectly bewildering. His grand eulogium of Gen. Butler was taken textually from Tom Fitch, the ‘silver-tongued orator’ and ex-Congressman of Nevada, on the occasion of the ratification meeting ef Hayes and Wheeler, held June 21, 1876. To console the wounded spirit of Speaker Blaine Fitch said: ‘Let me give a brief utterance to the feeling of the hearts of many thousand eainest republicans,’ &c., &c., ‘and send mes- sages of love and greeting to him who is lesser than Macbeth yet greater, fiery yet un- conquerable, the Rupert of debate, chivalrous white-plumed Navarre of the platiorm, saga- cious statesman, great-hearted leader, gifted, gallant, glorious Blaine.’ Take out Blaine and put in Butler and there you have Kear. ney’s eulogism in Fanueil hall.” FRIGHTFUL RAILROAD DISASTER Twelve Persons Killed, and Twenty Wounded.

Lovisvi1.e, Aueust7.—A brakeman on the Louisville, Nashviile and road passing Strawberry station Monday _dis- covered the body of a man lyingina ditch near the track. The neck was broken and a deep gash was visible in the forehead. The locality has a bad reputation, and it was at first thought he had been murdered. Subse- quently, when the train from New Orleans reached Louisville, a lady eighty years old got off, and her strange conduct catised suspicion. She was interrogated, but responding in French could not be understood. Her baggage had been checked through to New York, and, therefore, it was impossible to as: certain her name. She also manifested symptoms of sickness and vomiting freely, Was thought to be suffering from yellow fever. and was sent to the (Quarantine Hospital by direction of the railroad officials. Her ravings continued stronger than before. A New York Herald on her person was ad- dressed to J. B. Godfrey, New Orleans, and the same name was found ou the dead body. ierepreies could get nothing satisfactory out of the woman on questioning her, and the matter remained a mystery until yesterday, when a French gentleman, who secured an interview with the woman, ascertained that her name was J. Couret, New Orleans. He savs the dead man was her nephew, but will relate nothing more. Jack Kehoe's Sentence.

Health Officer Townshend has issued the following instructions for guidance of those who may be so unfortunate as to have persons atMicted with zymotic diseases in their homes or under their care.

It is highly coutagious, like small pox iu its power to spread rapidly. 2nd. When a case of any of the foregoing enumerated diseases occurs in a family the patient should be isolated in an upper room, and attended, as far as possible, by one per- son only. ord. The sick room should be well ventilated and exposed to sunticht ; all drapery, curtains, carpets, eic.,ete... should be removed, and only such furniture used as will permit of cleansing without injury. 4th. Disinfectants, such as chloride of lime or soda. or carbolic acid, should be kept in the room in open vessels, id all dejections from the patient thoroughly disinfected before be. ing removed. oth. In case of death the body should be at onee placed in a close coffin or casket, and not afterward exposed to view.

SMITH TOWNSHEND, M. D., th Onicer. —<—__ Washington Grove Camp Meeting. {Special Correspondence of The Star.] CAMP, NEAR GAITHERSBURG, Montgomery county, Md., August 4, 1878.—To-day has been very pleasant, and a large number of people came to camp from the surrounding couatry. The morning tr: from Washington brought up several, some of whom had spent the night in the city, in great anxiety for their friends who had nothing to cover them but canvas, and in their imaginations they had pictured the camp a fatal wreck. But when they came and found that we only had a light rain, they tried each to beat the other in aeseribing the storm you had in town, the man telling the first story standing no show. A prayer and experience meeting was held at %%; o'clock, and was led by the Rev. A.J nder. At 103< ovclock every available seat in tn tabernacle was occupied. A collection of $27 was raised. The Rev. Geo. V. Leech then an- nounced as his text John I, 35 to 45, inclusive, also Rom. x, iv, first clause of 7th verse. The theme was ‘Personal influence with sinners and responsibility therefor.” The marked at tention with which it was listened to through- out showed that it was appreciated by those who heard it. At 2p. m. the children’s meeting was held in the tabernacle, Rev. H. 3S. France wa~ assisted to-day by Key. P: Milburn. At the same hour a ladies’ meeting was held in th large meeting tent on 5th avenue, and was i charge of Mrs. Burris and Mrs. Cohen. T) exercises consisted of quoting seriptur promises, prayer and experience. At 3 p.m. the Rev. Thomas Harrison, the boy preacher and evangelist, who arrived by the morning train, had charge of the meeting. Alter the opening xercises he commenced calling on the unconverted to come forward to the aliar, and to this invitation three re sponded,cone of whom was converted. [And here I would note an error in my letter of yesterday : instead of four coming forward for player there were ui four of whom were converted.) The first of the young peoples’ meetings was held in the mecting tent on 5th avenue this evening, and was led by Kev. Thos. Harrison. This meeting took the form of a praise and experience meeting. { about the hour for the commencement of the evening exercises a very heavy thunder storm visited the camp, and for over two hours the thunder crashed overhead and the heav ens seemed to be one sheet of tlame, while the rain came down steadily, driving’ many to their tents, thereby preventing them from at- tending the meeting. 7:45 the Rev. W. J. McKenny preached from the text found in Psalms 68,41. He was followed by Rev. Mr. Harrison,gwho, after a brief exhortation, invited thosé who desired to be saved to hold up their hands, whereupon several hands were raised. He then invited them to come forward to the altar, and ten = responded, seven of whom were con- verted. Among the arrivals to-day were the Rey. Dr. Nasfor. of the Met jitan church; Rev. Dr. Pierce, of Alexandria, Va.; Rev. J. W. McKenny, Rev. L. M. Gardiner, Rev. Page Milburn, Rev. D. M. Browning,’ of Cumber- land; Rey. Dr. Deale, of Wesley chapel; Rev. Wm. F.
