Cor Z ews of Ex-Congressman Wilson of Indiana, Upon the Situation. Ex-Congressman Jeremiah Wilson, of In- diana, pow of the law firm of Shellabarger & Wilson, hes returned from a trip to New York and other eastern cities. Judge Wilson has a Teputation as a careful and shrewd political ob. seiver that gives bis opinions considerable Weight. He fs considered to be particularly well posted in Indiana politics. Said the Judge to a representative of Tae Star to-day:—“I be Yeve tnat the republicans will carry Indiana, and thus ensure the election of Garfield and Arthur. I do know that English, the demo- eratic Vice Presidential nomiuee, ts not a popu- ler can¢‘date in bis own state. regard Indtana end not New York as the pivotal state in th> impen¢‘vg cempr'gn. Ifthe republicans carry Inclana in October I think the effect will be to make the north solidly pepiip (ean agalost the solid democratic south. If the democrat carry Indiana Jn October, it will accelerate th campaign for November, and keep New York ta the position of a debatable state. Hence. I say Indiana js the pivotal state. While I believe the republicans will carry Indlana it ss, of course. good debatable ground,and were I In charge of the republican campatgn I should utilize every resource at my command for Indi- ana. If the republicans catry Indiana iu Octo- ber the battle is won. If they lose Iadlana, the fight is still on, and a vigorous fight, too.” “A tunny set, these democrats,” added the Judge. ‘“Itlookedt) me as if they had the presidential game in their own hands. The mad, in my judgment, who should have bean nom‘nated at Ciucinnati was Senator McDon- ald. He ts not only the strongest democrat In Jndiana, but he fs also popular with the money men of New York. He was always sound on the money question, So muck 80, ind’ed, that When the greenback heresy was rampant and had found lodgment in Indiana, the democrats Cid not want him to stump the state because of ‘his aversion to inflation theoric2.” Political Notes. Considerable has been sald and written about the display of a “rebel” flag at the recent demo- cratic ratification in thts city. The buating which attracted so much attention and created such a sensation consisted of a white star In a blue field, and broad red and white stripes or bers. It was the flag or Liberia, and appeared there among the flags of vai.ous nations, es. pecially of republics. It was quite dissimilar to the confederate flag, how Senator Wallace, chatrman of the democratic congressional committee, leit last might for Prilagelphia. He will retura to the city in the course of a fortnight. John W. Garrett, president of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, made a speech at the Cobden club banquet, at Greenwich, England.

Hancock, The democratic congressional convention of the second Maryland district, to nominate a candidate for Congress, will meet next week. pee Talbot, the present tncumbent, and Mr. Constable are the only lead'ng candi. dates. The contest will be sharp. It iS stated here that Constable only lacks one vote now to secure the nomation. ‘The nomination of Gen. Willlams as a read- juster candidate for Congress in the Alex: Gila (Va.) distiict, mentioned as news In Un dispatches, is three weeks old. That t'me has elapsed since the readjuster convention met and put Gen. Williams in nomination. The contest between him and Mr. Barbour, the reg. ular democratic nominee, promises to be very lively, but Virginia politicians in town predict a good majority for Barbour. National Fair Races. ST.

TRADE WITH BRazit.—The charge d'affaires ai interim of the United States at Rio de Janeiro, in a recent dispatch to the Department Of State, in commenting upon the trale be- tween the United States and Brazil, uses the following lapguage:—“I have observed with much terest and satisfaction the rapid growth of American goods and wares in the markets of brazil. They are growing in favor constantly, and tn the sale of notions (so- called) and household goods the tmpetus ha: been great. The importers of American cottons are meeting with splendid success.

Kegular and rapid communication is accomplishing much in the toterest of oun exports to Brazi).” ORDERS HAVE BEEN IssusD from the War de- partment directing Major James P.

He referred to the fact when he ‘Was there a year ago there was some doubt as to the ability of the government to carry out the refunding scheme. Now he was happy to announce that was accomplished, and resump- tion was a fixed fact. Last n*ght Secretary Sherman delivered his piomis Ne ets soe in Pike’s Opera House. Major A. ‘T. Go- orn presided. The opera house was profusely decorated with flags and flowers and was fill 4 with people. The Secretary’s speech was elab- orate, carefully contrived, and fotensely “stal- wart” The democratic party, he said, desired @ change in the Executive this fall, and the republican party, recogpizini thelr right to appeal to. the’ people, will hear patiently and kindly all ‘they have to say, in spite of the fact that the seme brivilege cannot be exercised by the republi- cans. The democrats had resisted change in 1860, and had taken up arms to emphasize that Tes'stance. They had sought change in 1364, iM 1868, 'n 18i2 and 1376, bat the republice7 irty always ‘stood by its principles’ and ayes was elected. Resumption had been Brought about not by Providence, but by the election of Hayes. It 1s true, Providence gave us good crops, but republican principles showed the country how to profit by them, aad certain it 1s we owe no part of our prosperity to the democratic party. It had not resumd, it had not refunded, it had not provided for honest payment of the debt, it had not collected the revenue cheaply. Its record was one of inca- pacity, timidity and doubt in Congress and of fraud and violence at the polls. It had tucreasad ponte expenditures instead of reducing them. it had proposed 1o measure of public reiief. It nge now in order to restore state a citadel of the Supreme Court, ip everytbing to the svild south, and take ay luelr tights trem the frecdwen. The bone acd sinew; the heart and brains of the north, he raid, ate with the republican patiy. The real frauds in the election of 1376 were perpe- trated by democrats and the kv x conspira- tors, Tilden tried to piece out their violence with bribery. If the democrats secure a change they will pay all soris of rebel claims and beggar the Treasury. The confederate brigadlers will rule, and the sla’ tuckle to them. The national bank system will be overturned and the country flooded with wild-cat and red-dog money. War legislation will be swept away, the puolic credit destroyed, and our country turned back from national tendencies, The real change the country wanted was the change of this democratic Con- gress fnto a republican Congress in harmony with Garfield and the incoming administration. In reply to a question by one of the audience as to the cause of the removal of Gen. Arthura3 collector of customs at New York, Mr. Sherman sald: I have never said one word impugning Gen. Arthur's honor or integrity as a man and a gentleman, but he was not in harmony with the views of the administration in the mani ment of the custom-house. While I would not perhaps have recommended his nomination, yet I would vote for hitn for Vice-President a miition times before I would vote for W. H. English, with whom I served in Congress.” Leading Events Abroad. ‘The British political officer at Candahar tele- graphs on the 25th to London as follows: “The country ts quieting down. Ayoob’s force 13 re- duced to regulars and a small number of Ghazis, It 1s reported that he wishes to retreat to Garaf and Girishk, but is prevented by the Cabulee troops.

Phayre. In the House of Lords last evening Earl Gran- ville, foreign secretary, said the powers are con- sidering a rejoluder to the Porte’s last note about Montenegro, and in the meantime they have orderedja number of men-of-war to ren- dezvous at Ragusa. The powers, he said, ha informed the ¥otte that the decision of the Ber- Jin corference on the Greek question cannot be reopened, and also presented a note to the Porte urging reforms in Armenia. It 1s declared in well-informed circles that the announcement of the conclusion of an offensive and defensive all'- ance between Servia and Bulgaria is unfounded. The European powers will not invite Turkey to participate In the proposed naval demonstra- Uon, They will invite her only to furnish military assistance if required.

LoNpon, August 31.—A Consiantinople dis- patch to the Times says: The Sultan would yield Immediately to the wishes of the powers, if he believed they were about to use coercive measures, but, unfortunately, in the official World, the conviction 1s gaining ground that the extreme limit to which the powers are _prc- pared to go is a harmless naval demonstration, ard that in no case will physical foree be em: ployed. | For the present, there {8 Mttle hope of a concilfatory attitude being brought about by pecuniary necessities.

Loxpon, August 31.—The Manchester Guard- 's Duleigno correspondent says: Albanian recrults @-e arriving here datly tn small num- bers, There are about 2.500 now here. The Miridites and Highland ailted clans adhere to thelr determination to hold aloof. The Ma- hometan leaders of the present movement ad- mit the eventual necessity of yielding to Europe, but say that Albanian honor requires a public demonstration to show that they do not yield to the Montenegrins. It 1s dificult to predict the course of events. The Turkish officials openly encourage resistance. Eiza Pacha has {birtéen batteries at his disposal, but according to the symptoms at Dulcigno and Scutarl the Porte has no real intention of foretug a settle- ment. If it had it would scarcely permit the continued Albanian concentration on the Mon- tenegrin frontier. It seems certain that not only a naval demonstration will be necessary, but that European troops must be landed to effect a settlement. A Criti Aspect. The Constantinople correspondent of the Deily Telegraph says he thinks the Porte will succeed in settling the Montenegrin difticulty, but that tt will not yield on the subject of tne Greek frontier. The Telegraph says: A well informed correspondent writes that he 1s con- vinced that, if a naval demonstration takes ace, it will be the signal for a general rising. ‘he Albanian chiefs declare that when tke ships appear the Albanians wil! enter Monte- negro and retake Podgoritza. Riza Pacha, the Turkish commander, reports that the state of affairs is very critical, and that the Albanians are much excited. Riza Pacha’s house is guarded by 1,500 soldiers. ‘The French School Laws Modified.
