ROTHSCHILD PUBLISHES A THE WAR IN THE EAST, THE ENGLISH PLAN OF NON-INTRRFERENCE AND IT8 EFFECT ON THE PROPOSED MEDIATION. Loxpox, August 11, 1876, The Times to-day publishes a despatch from Paris tho English programme of non-interference in Hastern question, which was sanctioned by the Powers aiter the failure of the Berlin memorandum, is the basis of the subsisting harmony. Tho signal for mediation, therefore, can and ought woly to come from England. She is the arbiter of the moment when the struggle ~tuccessfully proposed. As yet it is certain that Eng- ‘and does not think the moment opportune, and no other Power will take the initiative, All rumors of mediation, intervention and conferences are mere hypotheses, Turkey’s aim is to anticipate mediation by according to the vanquished Servians and to Monte- Begro, vanquished or not, conditions acceptable enough to be approved before mediation could be accomplished. SERVIANS CHARGED WITH COWARDICE. The Servian correspondents of the Daily News, Standdrd and Times note the fact that many Servians are coming to the rear slightly wounded in the hand 6r forearm. The correspondents believe they shoot them- elves to avoid battle. } . A RETREAT Ix GOOD ORDER.

Ivanitza is surrounded by high hilis, affording the Turks excellent offensive positions, The fact is, the Servian war is about to assume a much less ambi- tious character than when first underiaken and is e@bdout to resolve itself into a guerilla affair.” . THE TOILS CLOSING AROUND SERVIA. ‘The Daily News has a despatch trom Belgrade which says:—‘The toils aro closing around Servia, Abda Kerim Pacha is pushing westward from Gurgusovatz, ‘and the Sorvian General Horvatovich has fallen back on Yankovo and Klissura, Hard fighting commenced at Yankovo on Wednesday, and is still continuing.

The number of refugecs Ip estimatod at 20,000.

THE PORTE NOT TO BE PACIFIED, The Ragusa correspondent of the Times says the Porte has repelled pacificatory overtures, declaring it will risk everything. The Porte also persists in em- ploying the Circassians and Bashi-Bazouks. A despatch to the Daily Telegraph says the Turkish government intends, after the subjugation of Servia, to ‘aign Prime Minister Ristics for high treason, hold- ing him to be chiefly responsible for the insurrection. THE TURKISH COLUMNS CONVERGING TOWARD BELGRADE. Viexxa, August 11, 1876. It is believed that the different columns of the Turk- ish army will advance simultaneously on Belgrade, drawing together as they approach, so as to completely surround the city.

SILVER QUESTION. M. Goschen, in the course of bis speech on thesil- ver question in the House of Commons last night, said he thought Lord Hamilton spoke too strongly of tho panic, The causes now working justified appreben- sion, but he believed, however, except as to the extent the American mines might yield increased amounts, wonow know the worst. The idea of introducing a gold currency 'n India in lieu of silver was opposed, and the speaker mentioned the great inconvenience which had resulted trom the change made in Germany. The Financier to-day says private advices trom Berlin tend to confirm the statements recently pub- lished as to the modorate extent of the supplies of sil- ver held by Germany and destined for sale, DISRAELI TO BE RARL OF BEACONSFIRLD, It is reported that Mr. Disraeli is abous to be raised to the House of Lords, with the title of the Farlof Beaconstield.

Versarties, August 11, 1876. The Senate to-day, in discussing the Municipal bill, an amendment declaring members of certain professions ineligible to municipal functions, which was strongly supported by the Right for the purpose of compelling a return of the dill to the Chamber of Deputies, thas postponing it antil the next session, was defeated, It is believed, however, that the Senate wil! sustain the action of its committee in striking owt tho clause requir- ing now elections !mmediatoly.

CONDITION OF THE MEN. The sight of those two fine battalions was most charming to our men, who are jubilant, but lack some- thing of the elasticity which characterized them in the early days of the campaign. Our fellows are in tem- yer which will render them dangerous antagonists, but thoy present a roughened appearance. Besides the new arrivals the entire command 1s being refitted and as- sembled on the south bank of the Yellowstone, The march will commence on the 7th inst, THANKS TO BRAVE PRIVATES.

General Sherman also said that no such forts are known as Watch and Mcfean, whore the Teton Sioux were ropresented to have become insolent, attempting to obtain ammunition and to take supplies by force. News from Winnipeg would come via Pembina and St Paul, and not from Salt Lake, whence the despatch representing the above ts said to have been sent, SIOUX ON THE WAKPATH IN CANADA, Orrawa, August 11, 1876 A letter from a member of the Northwest Mounted Police Fores, dated at Bismarck, July 19, says:— Our party came across 400 Sioux oa tho warpath, on the evening of the 18th inst., about 100 miles from the scene of the Custer massacre.

It would seem to me to be much more «conom- eal and better to authorizo an increase of tne present cavairy force by 2,600 privates, but if this Is not deemed advisable then that the President he autbor- ized to call cut not exceeding five regiments, 1,000 strong each, of volunteers to serve for a period ‘not exceeding 81x months, Shouid this latter authority be given I would not order out any volunteers unless in my opinion, vased upon reports from the scene of war, {deemed it absolutely necessary, and then only the smallest number considered suilicient to meet the emergency.

THE HOUSE RESOLUTION TO aDJOURN—ACTION OF THE SENATE TENDING TO PREVENT AD- JOURNMENT. Tho House adopted a resolution to-day to adjourn sine die on Monday, at four o'clock. There 1s still, however, doubt about the willingness of tho Senate to adjourn, That vody does not seem to be in haste, for it goes on preparing new business for tho House, Besides its change in the proposed school amendment, It to-day voted to restore | the fast mail trains and the franking privilege, The latter was adopted by a vote of 30 to 13, fifteen republi- cans and fitteen democrats voting for it, On all theso measures the Houso will have to act, and upless it should very unexpectedly consent to all there will be threo new subjects for conference committees— bodies which come very slowly to an ngreemont this session, AS matters stand now the Senate prevents an adjourn- mo:t, and while there is a very general desire to get away by Monday or Tuesday it is quite possible that Congress may spond another week here. THE RELIGIOUS AND SCHOOL AMENDMENT IN THE SENATE—A NEW PROJECT OF ORNTRAI- IZATION, The proposed constitutional amendment regarding schools, adopted by the House a weck ago, has been entirely changed by the Senate Judiciary Committee, The substitute came up in the Senate this evening and after wome discussion it was postponed until to-mor, row at one o'clock. The proposition to add a cinuso giving Congress power by Icgislation to pro- vide for tho prevention and punishment of violations of this article is opposed by many Senators, and will be wpposed also in the House, where Mr. Hoar, on tho suggestion of a similar clause, pointed out that the proper and sufficient remedy im case any State at- tempted to violate the amendment lay in the action of tho Supreme Court, Sr. Hoar supperted the amend- ment as reported by Mr. Lord and adopted by the House,which contains a clause providing that ‘this ar- ticle shall not vest, enlarge or diminish any legislative powers vested in Congress,”’ and it received the vote of every repablican present in the House in that shape. It is believed that some republican politicians in the Senate desire the amendment to fail, and that ts the reason why the Senate is now pressed to pass asubsti- tute giving Congress new and extraordinary powers to interfere in loc! concerns of the State. But aside from those who wish the amendment to fail there are others who want to increase the powers of the federal government and who seo here an opportunity to bring the State school systems under its control and make a new wedgo tor projecta of centralization. Tho Sonate’s substitute cannot pass the Houso, and it will hardly get tho requisite two-thirds vote in tho Senate, An effort will be made in the Senate to submit tho House amendment asubstitute. Senator Ran- dolph this evening made an able speech against the Senato substitute, on the ground that it is contrary to the spirit and principles of the constitution in confer- ring on the fedoral government new powers of inter- ferenco with tho local concerns of the States, JUDGE PIERREPONT'S FAMOUS LETTER TO THE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS—THE TRUE STORY a8 TOLD BY THE PRESIDENT’S FRIENDS. The true story of the notorious letter of Attorney General Pierrepont to district attorneys, which made sy great a noise last spring, is thus related by some of the President's friends, They say that the President, having asked tho District Attorney at Chicago for tn- information concerning the circumstances which had Jed him to grant immunity to certain persons concerned in fraudulent whiskey transactions, received a reply that these things had been done by the subordinates of the District Attorney, and he had left the matter to their Judgment and did not know tho circumstances, On this, it is said, the President said to Mr. Pierrepont that the answer was unsatisfactory; that the District Attorney was responsible for all that was dono in his office, and that he desired Judge Pierrepont to write him a letter to that effect, holding him to his responsi- bility, Mr, Pierrepont replied that !t would be embar- rassing to write such a personal letter, but that ho would write a general and circular letter to all the district attorneya, which would, of course, include the one at Chicago, and {hus savo his feelings while enforcing upon him bis daty; and thas, 1t ts asserted, the notorious letter was written, not at the suggestion of the President, as Mr. Pierrepont bas said in his evidence before the Judiciary Committes, but on his own motion, CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS WILT, ACCEPT.

The conferring committees and their clerks have worked bard at it all day, only Gnish- | ing it to-night. The next step will be, it is thought, to order it to be printed, There is some evidence in this gradual action on the part of the Senate and in the course taken upon the Post Office Appropriation bill to- day in adding amendments to it that the Senate is not in any haste to adjourn. Senators scem to take Mory- thing very leisurely, Vieo President Forry, however, says that they must get away very soon, as they not stand it, fle reports himself and many other of the Senators as worn out, More of the democrats are uway than republicans, The indications point toa zood deal of speaking in the Senate on the Hamburg and sixteenth amendment questions, THE, INDIAN APPROPRIATION DILt. The Indian Appropriation bill reaches a total of $4,670,117, of about $600,000 more than was estimatod to bo the result of the Conference Committee's work, The clerks are yet busy revising thetr calculations, and the fignres may possibly vary a little when they come to be verified. The items sn the Logisiative bill bare not been added up yet, THE ADMINISTRATION OF POSTAL AFFAIRS UN- | DER THE NEW APPROPRIATION BILL—nOW AN EXTENSION OF THE RAILWAY SERVICE 18 BACRIFICRD TO THE STAGE AND WAGON ROUTES. A good deal of dissatisfaction is found with the way the money is to be disbursed for tho postal service un- | der the provisions of the ost Office Appropriations | bill, By the provisions of the bill the money is di vided into two portions—one allotted to the compensa. tion of the ratiway mail service and the other to what are known as ‘atar’’ routes. The latier are the inland routes over whic tho inails are transported by stages or wagons, Such a partition of the money was never made before, and its introduction at thi time is said to be « litte bit of seheming on the part of the Seuthern democrats to get all the additional mati contracts and routes they ean lay hands on for the benefit of their constiiuents, The appropriations for these ‘“star’’ routes is far in excess of what is necersury to support existing lincs, while tbat for the railway mail service | and at Kessier’s brewery.

PROTECTION TO TRADEMARKS—THE BILL DE- FEATED, OWING TO ITS OUTRAGEOUS PRO- VISIONS, The House to-day rejected and defeated the bill to Protect trademarks, chiefly at the instance of Mr. Hewitt, of New York, who, while willing to extend Protection to all owners of trademarks, was opposed to this bill because its proposed penalties were oppressive to tyranny, and sach as would work tho grossest injus- tice to a large class of persons who might innocently come in possession of boxes, bottles or other goods furnished with such trademarks. Tho bill conferred ‘on the owners of trademarks an unlimited power to make arrests as woll as a dangerous right of search, which privilege would leave no citizen eafe in bis house. 1% had nearly gone through both houses and was detained in a conference committee when Mr. Hewitt saw and exposed its outrageous provisions.
