THE OLD WORLD. [From the Evening Telegram of yesterday.] ADVANCE IN EMMA MINE SHARES, Loxpon, Jan. 18, 1876, The shares of the Emma mine have ad- vanced, presumably on the issue ofa circular ‘by Mr. Albert Grant, vindicating his con- ‘nection with the company and expressing ‘the opinion, based upon actual inspection, that the mine is not worked out. He also recommends further operations, believing that they would prove remunerative. The reported important discovery of ore near or under the Emma mine, has, doubtless, had some effect also in enhancing the price of the shares, The Financier, in a léading article, says it would be curious, after all, if the Emma -mine should prove to b> one of the best mines in the world.

QW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY; JANUARY 19, 1876.—WITH *SUPPLEMENT. THE TURKS TO SUPPRESS INSUREECTION AND BYADE FOREIGN INTERVENTION. Lonpox, Jan. 18, 1876. The Times this morning publishes a letter from Vienna giving the following details of the insurrection in the Tarkish provinces :— THE POLICY OF THE PoRTE. Partly from a sincere wish to end the insurrection, and purtly fromanxiety to escape intervention, the Sublime Porte is making great efforts to achieve pact- fication unaided. The new Turkish commander, Mukhtar Pacha, and the new Governor, Ali Pasha, are } to co-operate to that end, the former by military dispo- sitions and the latter by political and diplomatic ac- tivity. WHAT MAY RESULT PROM VICTORY IN THR FIELD, “The severe checks the insurgents have recently suf- fered, and the large reinforcements the Turks: bave lately Feceived, render offensive operations by the insurgents very improbable, Mukhtar Prcha seoms likewise to, have instructions 00¢ to operate against the insurgents, but to begin by the occupation of the important posi- tions and the debouches of the Montenegrin frontier. Thereby a sort of cordon will be drawn to prevent the Montenegrins from assisting the insurgents, and the Turkish arms turned against those attempting to pass the frontier, So far as munitions of war and provi- sions are concerned such a disposition might answer, but it would be ineffective against the passage of armed mountaineers. ‘The sort of trace thus established with the insurgents will be utilized by the Governor’s summoning an as- sembly of notables at Mostar to draft a report of the grievances of the country, to be sent direct to the Sultan. IMPERIALIST TREATMENT OF HERZEGOVINA AND BOSXTA. “The Sultan will then consider all the jast complaints and make special concessions to Herzegovina. While Herzegovina is within the Vilayet of Bosnia no con- cessions will be possible without extending them to Bosnia also, which ig scarcely practicable on account of the much largor population of Mussulmans in Bosnia, who are already so excated and so fanatical that there is great danger of an outbreak leading to serious ex- cesses, In order to solve this difficulty Herzegovina will be created an independent Villayet. “The circumstances of the two provinces are very different, the proportion of Mohammedans to Christians in Bosnia being as four to six and im Horsegovina about as one to two, WILL IT SUCCEED ? “None of the Powers will grudge Turkey the merit of pacifying the insurgents unaided. On the conirary, all of them will be relieved from much inconvenience and anxiety; only, after the previous fruitless efforts, it is likely to be much more suecessful.”” : BRITISH CABINET CONSIDERATION OF THE AUS- TRIAN NOTE. Lowpon, Jan. 19, 1876. A Cabinet meeting was held yesterday, All the Ministers were present, as it was understood that the Austrian note on Tarkey was to be considered. The Cabinet will meet again to-day. DSRAELI'S CABINET POLICY TOWARD AUSTRIA AND THE PORTE. Lonoon, Jan. 19, 1876, The Times states that the Cabinet yesterday resolved to give a general support to Count Andrassy’s note, At the same time many questions may arise after the note shall be presented to the Porte. Those points naturally await further consideration. Other journals make the same announcement, SATISFACTION AND SELV-IMPORTANCE, The Times, in an editorial on the decision of the gov- ernment, says:— “Less than this would have been unworthy of a great‘country, which holds the casting vote in delibera- tions of critical importance to the whole of Europe.” THE BRITISH AT PERAK.

THE WHISKEY COLPRITS. The Coming Trials in Chicago and St. Louis. A MISSING WITNESS RETURNED Important Consultations with the President Regarding Babcock, THE “SYLPH” HANDWRITING. Sr. Lovrs, Jan. 18, 1876. Tho near approach of the next Whiskey Ring trials has caused a great revival of public interest in such matters, especially as some very startling developments have been promised by the prosecution at an early stage of the trials. District Attorney Dyer’s recent visit to Secretary Bristow, It is reliably asserted, has resulted in some important and wholly unexpected discoveries against General Babcock and Con McGuire, The first case on the docket is that of William McKee, which ts set down for trial on the 20th. McKee is the wealthiest man yet indicted and very prominent as a citizen, politician and newspaper proprietor. Ho is in- dicted under the conspiracy clause of the Revenue act. Hib trial will, perhaps, excite more interest and popular spmpathy than that of any person yet in- dicted, The government attorneys express absolute confidence in their ability to convict, but thero is a general fooling that conviction will be a much more dificult matter in McKee’s case than in either that of McGuire or Babcock. The fact that he was not a gov- ernment official makes the success of the prosecution still more difficult. It has been noted, too, that public Prejudice has not been directed against McKoe so much as his Whiskey Ring confréres. In consideration of his venerable age and his past services to the Stato the public judgment hag been tempered with charity to- ward him, and if a jury convicts it will be upon the most trrefragible proof, McKeo assures his friends that he will be able to establish his innocence beyond all man- ner of doubt. It was reported that ‘THE MISSING WITNESS, Everist, the ex-gauger, who recently returned from Europe and fell into the hands of government de- tectives, would tell some very damning things against McKee; but the indications are that if he 1s used at all it will be against ex-Collector McGuire, The govern- ment undoubtedly has a strong case against MoGuire, and conviction seems to be assured. His case comes up on the 25th. The government attorneys express their confidence tm their ability to convict on all three of the indictments pending against him. He 1s a shrowd, cunning trickster, and if he can havea hand in it there will be some sharp management when his case comes up. GRANT AND HIS PRIVATH SKORETARY, Certain very competent persons rocently returned from Washington are positive in the assertion that President Grant was at first very emphatic im bis endeavors to secure the entry of a nolle prosequi in the case of Bab- cock, but, finding that public sentiment would not tolerate such a step, relinquished his efforts in that di- rection and has since been tacitly assisting in the ar- rangement of a plan of prosecution securing the acquit- tal of his private secretary, Public curiosity has been very much excited of late by the presence in Washing- ton of such a large number of persons connected wit! the prosecution or defence of the whiskey cases. These visitors included Judge Krum, counsel for General Baccock ; Mr, Vorhees, counsel for McKee and McGuire; Assistant District Attorneys Blies amd Paddock, E. W. Fox, the foreman of the St, Louis Grand Jury which found @ true bill against Babcock; Disirict Attorney Dyer and George Fishback. Krum had several CONSULTATIONS WITH THE PRESIDENT while there, as also had £. W. Fox, foreman of the Grand Jury, He was one ot the two jurors who voted against indictment and the author of the fulsome letter vindicating the President It 1s stated that one errand of Mr. Voorhees to the capital was to secure an order from Attorney General Pierrepont directing a nolle prosequi of the cases against McKee, bat the govern- ‘mont attorneys present were watching out and success fully checkmated all efforts looking to sach a congum- mation. The object of Fishback’s visits to Washing- ton was to see about the compensation due or about to be due him for unearthing the whiskey frauds. Some time ago he was abruptly informed by Secretary Bristow that the department had received information that he had used the information for which he asked pay from the government in his own private bebalf. taking advan- tage of the favorable occasion to get rid of a depreciated newspaper at unreasonable figures, and that he could expect no compensation trom the national treasury. Fishback at once went to Washington, und has used his ‘atmost endeavors to convince the Secretary that he did not use the information to his own advantage and that he is justly entitled to liberal pay. Fishback origi- nally counted on $100,000 moiety, but tt is stated that he will now sell out for ten cents on the dollar, THE STRONGEST RVIDENCR AGAINST NABCOCK. One of the most important witnesses against Babcock is Colonel Parker, Internal Revenue Col.ector for the Colorado district’ Ho has been summoned to appear. It is said he is in possession of evidence conclusive of Babcock’s guilt. The District Attorney states that he will be fully able to prove the authenticity of Bab- cock’s handwriting in the famous “‘Sylph’’ despatch, a fac-simile of which the Heraio published some time 0. eres ‘THE PRELUDE to the Whiskey Ring trials was enacted to-day by the trial of Arthur Gunther, ex-revenue agent, for frauds on the revenue, The jury brought in a verdict of guilty, after being out half an bour, and that noto- rions individual will now go ‘the way of McDonald and Joyce, The indictment charged, first, that while occupying the position of revenue agent, he obtained the sum of $2,000 from the firm of Bernecker & Engelke for the purpose of inducing him to recommend the release of their rectifying house, which was then under seizure. The second count charged that, in the year 1873, he obtained from’¥. W. Schroeder, a cigar manufacturer, doing business in this city, the sum of $1,000, which monoy was received as a consideration for compromising @ vation then pending against them in the United Biates courts for defrauding the revenue. Upon mo- tion of Governor Fletcher, defendant’s counsel, the first count was stricken {rom the indictment upon the ground that it charged Gunther with being a revenue agent at the time of the commission of the offence, whereas he was in fact only a government detective and had nothing to do with the revenue F. W. Schroeder testified that while an indictinent was pend- ing against him for having unstamped tobacco in his possession, Gunther came to him and stated that if he ‘would gtve him ONK THOUSAND DOLLARS to hand over to District Attorney Patrick and his assistant, H. W. Bliss, the indictment would be nolle prosequied. Schroedor thereupon gave the amount asked, but the case was not dismissed. Gunther after- wards demanded more money from the witness, but he ‘was unable to pay it Gunther then told him he could make up the money by hg to enter upon his books the tobacco he had manulactured, and that he, Gunther, would prevent the ‘Grand from being discovered, A son of Schroeder corrobo- rated the statement ot hts father. Ex-District mien 4 Patrick and Assistant District Attorney Bliss stated that they knew nothing of the matter; that they had never spoke# to Gunther on the subject and that no money bad been received from him and the prose- cution bad not been suppressed. There was no evidence introduced for the defendant. The jury, after consulting a half hour, brought in a verdict of not guilty on the first countand guilty on the second count, Gunther filed a motion for a now trial. He is at liberty on bis old bond of $5,000. Another indict- ment against him for conspiracy to defraud the govern- ment was dismissed. THE WITNESS PROM RCROPR, It 18 said that the testimony of Everest, the ex- ager, who has been keeping himself in Europe so jong, will contain some very interesting as well as startling developments in the history af the Whiskey Ring in this olty. He is expected to be here to-morrow. He a sister, a Mra, Roberts, living on Mill street, in St Loots. She has stated to friends that she bas re- cently received letters from ber brother, in which he gives her the fucts about his’ connection with the “ring.” She says is testimony will be very damning against Maguire and McKee as well as Babcock. ile in Bul he wrote to each of these three rer Retest tt be had no funda, and that if they would him enough money to maintain himself m Europe he would stay there and thus Naps ae being used as a witness. They refased to furnish him pecuniary assistance and he came back to America What appears to be a_protty straight romor is to the effect that Maguire has given up all hope of uiital, and if pressed to trial will withdraw his plea of not guilty and enter one of guilty. Itis stated that he has dis- missed his chief attor , Henry A. Clows, and has notified Judge Vorheea, of his counsel, of bis de- termination to plead guilty. Magurre will 0 convicted just as sure as he goes to trial The evidence against im is fully as strong as it was agaipst Joyce, Great interest centres im the trial of William McKee, net for the 20th.

DISAGREEMENTS AMONG THE AGENTS OF THE PROSECUTION IN CHICAGO—BABCOCK’S EX- PLANATIONS—WORK OF THE GRAND JURY. Cuicaco, Jan. 18, 1876. Supervisor Tutton was before the Grand Jury to-day and testified as to the seizures of last May and as to the irregularities which ho found then in the Collec- tor’s office and in the Stamp Department, presided over by Minty, His evidence implicated principally Minty and tho ex-Collector. After him came ex-Col- lector Wadsworth, who confirmed the evidence as to the reuse of stamps, made possible through the rascal- ity Of Minty and the connivance of gaugers, but pro- tested his own innocence as having been completely duped by Minty and his other subordinates. + was stated this evening that Wirt Dexter, the lead- ing counsel for the government, bad telegraphed to the ‘Treasu Department asking for Tatton’ recall on ac- unt of bis having meddied improperly in arrange- Seats ptt between the counsel and the distillers. Be this as it may, this much is certain, that Tutton left this evening immediately for home after he had given his evidence, A SIGNIFICART DESPATOM, In this connection the following is a despatch which Collector Webster received this morning from Bluford Wilson, Solicitor of the Treasury :— The Hon. J. D. Weuster, Chicago, Il. :— The following despatch was sent by the Secretary to Mr. Tutton this morning, It ought to cover the grounds. He has tmplicit con@dence in the local coun- sel and revenue oflicial: A. P. Turtox, Supervisor :— As we have’ not directed any arrangement witb in- dicted parties, 30 wo decline to interfere with any that has been entered into by the District Attorney, with the approval of his associates and the local revenue officers. Having confidence in their judgment and fidelity, we leave the Prosecution in their hands, not doubting that they will do what will best subserve the interest of the government. BLUFORD WILSON. POLICY OF THE PROSBCUTION. This confirms my despatch of yesterday that there was adisagreomeut between counsel and Supervisor Tutton and Secret Service Chief Washburn. The latter, however, assured me to-night that be would leave the policy of prosecution entirely to the eminent counsel to whom it was entrusted, Thore was a report that two indictments had boen brought into Court yesterday referring to these do- fraudations, but it 1s now stated on apparently trus' worthy authority that these Indictments are against Scammon and his cashier, Reed, for perjury tn swear- ing to faise bank statementa. BABCOCK’S CASE. A Chicago Times special from Washington quotes Mr. Storrs, counsel for Babcock, as stating that Babcock had explained the “Sy!ph’”’ despatches to Bristow's and all the despatches to the President’s complete satisfac- ton, and that it was an error to suppose that Babeock’s defence would pretend that tne ‘Syiph”? despatches al- luded to a woman. Storrs says a satisfactory explan tion will be given of all the despatches in court, and that Babcock had nothing whatever to do with the or- der for transferring the Supervisors, of which Grant was the sole author. Tho Babcock case, by the way, seems to engage Chicago atiention even more than local cases, THE INDIANAPOLIS TRIALS, Typtanapouis, Ind., Jan. 18, 1876. The case of Hiram Brownleo, which was postponed on Friday evening, was resumed to-day in the United States Court, Judge Graham presiding, On the open- ing of the court the witnesses who will be called on to give evidence in the case were sworn, after which thoy were separated at the request of counsel. General Harrison made a statement of the case for the defendant. Walter ©. Baker, the first witness for the govern. ment, testitied to being connected with the Internal Revenue Department in Washington and produced cer- tain reports from the files in that department, which will be put in evidence later in the trial Henry 1 Quinn, clerk of the St George Hotel, Evansville, and HM! H. Sanderson, elork of the Gran Hotel, Cincinnati, testified to the’ defendant boing at the former hotel December 5, 1874, and at the latter February 8, 1875, whore he remained unti! some time in March; also that John W. Bingham was at the hotel Fobruary'14. Henry Veatch testified that Brownlce nevor visited distilleries except in company with his father. A STRUGGLE IN SOUTH CAROLINA. MOSES AND WHIPPER RESISTING GOVERNOR CHAMBERLAIN--WHIPPER BREATHING ouT TERRIBLE THREATENINGS—-EXCITEMENT OF THE PEOPLE. Couvania, Jan. 18, 1876, Tho Legislature reassembled to-day after the recess. There is much excitement over the election of a de- banehee and a vagabond to the most important justico- ships in the State. One of them is the infamous Moses, the other an illiterate, worthless negro. The feeling 1s so deep that the attempt of the two judges to take their seats would result in bloodshed. Governor Chamberlain is acting with tho respectable conservativo classes and has declined to sign the com- sions of tho judges, Whether this failure will bo effectual isa problem that will go tothe courts. An idea may be formed of the character of these magis- trates by a speech made in the Legislature to-day by one of them—the negro Whipper, I send this as an in- dication of the deep, passionate feeling everywhere revalent. In drawing a comparison morally beeween Vioecn and Chamberlain he satd:— “When Moses is asaintin heaven Chamberlain will be howling in hell. D. H. Chamberlain is unfit for earth; to heaven he could not ascend, and in hell itseif the devil would spurn him out. Chamberlain is a black hearted traitor, and he bas gone so far that he must take the consequences, He has resisted the will of the people, and the same spirit which rose in the time of Charles L. will rise now and bebead him. The constitution commands the Govertor to tssne commis- sions to all State officers elected, and in refusing so to do Chamberlin proves himeelf a perjurea wretch. ‘The News and Courier sanctum smells of hell I teel it my daty to myself, to my supporters and to my race. totake my seat as Judge at all bazards, and I will either be denied that position by law or be relieved by death. I will die before I will resign.” In reviewing the pes nk made against him Whipper offered no evidence to disprove them, but simply de- pied them one after another, with the exception of the charge of gambling, which he coniessed was true, but said that he bad sworn off.

When the officer ordered the cavalry to get ready to charge the Indians turned about, There was over 1,000 im the party.

FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. Wasuixaton, Jan. 19, 1876, MB, EUSTIS OCOASIONS AgNEW DISTORTION IN THE PINCHBACK QUESTION—AN ULTERIOR LN~ TRIGUE FOR COLLECTOR CASEY. Mr. Eustis, who was last week ehosen Senator by the democrats in the Louisiana Legislature, is a gentleman of culture and wealth and of high character, and his Appearance here 1s likely to give a new shapo to the Pinchback question, It 1s well known that several re- publican Senators have been constantly opposed to the admission of Mr. Pinchback, and it was said early in the session that if moderate man of either sido came up #s Senator, with Governor Kollogg's certificate, he would probably get the seat Thore is, however, a ru- mor from New Orleans of a negotiation looking to delay in the decision here until the Louisiana Legis- lature shall adjourn, whercapon it is said Governor Kollogg will cut the knot of the difficulty by appointing Collector Casey Senator, who is to present his creden- tials and be admitted at once, To secure Mr, Pinch- back's consent to this plan the same report says he has been promised tho position of Minister to Hayti. A ‘strong effort will be made by the democrats before the Logislature adjourns to show cause why Senator West should be unseated. It ts believed that the proceeding would not bo unpleasant to tho President, who has been at different times annoyed by’ Senator West's per- tinacious opposition to appointments he wished to mako, such as that of Judgo Pardee.

WADDELL, OF NORTH CABOLINA. . Amnesty having made {ts exitfor the present, the Centennial appropriation came upon tho carpet in the Hoase to-day and was the subject of somo interesting speeches in Committee of the Whole. It was warmly and eloquently advocated by Messrs. Hopkins and Wad- doll, and was getting along swimmingly until it struck a rock in Mr. B. A. Willis, of New York, who argued vory cogently against its constitutionality, to the great dissatisfaction of the crowd in the lobby. 1t was the first time Mr. Willis had been heard in debate, and his speech has made him quite conspicuous. He was fol- lowed by his colleague, Mr. Abram 3, Hewitt, who took sides for the appropriation, The important speech of the day was made by Mr. Waddell, of North Carolina, who took occasion to say on behalf of bis fellow Southern soldiers who had fought against the Union that they accepted the issue of the war with complete submission, and were working for union, har- mony and peace, His remarks went a great way to undo all that Mr. Hill, of Georgta, bad said, and will prove @ damaging campaign document to the repabli- cans If usod by the democrata, 1t confiems what bas been so often said, that the rank and file of the armios who fought against each other could settle every differ- ence between them now, as they did on the battle field, if left to pursue their purpose without intorfer- ence from the non-combatant politicians of both sec- tions, THE THIRD TERM QUESTION AT THE MEETING OF THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE. 5 Se ne ALBANY LEGISLATION. .

Y. Scammon, of Chicago, He broached the subject by premising that the previous republican conventions had really nothing to do beyond meeting for the purpose of for- mally recording nominations already made by the people, The next would differ from those {n this re- spect unless public opinion should change and set strongly in favor of a third term. At this point the evident dissent expressed by the large majority present at tho introduction of the third term matter had tho effect of stopping Mr. Scammon in what was evidently the middle of his effort.
