The Servian army is fast becoming a Rus- sian auxiliary force fighting on Servian soil. The Rus- ins are exposing themselves in the brunt of battle with remarkable valor. Out of forty-eight men who fought asa company at Alexinatz thirty were le!tdcadon the field, The Servians are becoming jealous and alraid of the Russians. They feel the control of their army slipping from their bands, and they will joyfully aocept peace if it can be obtained on good terms, The Seven days’ fighting before Alexinatz bas been groatiy exaggerated.

PERSISTENCY OF THE TURKISH ATTACKS AT ALEXINATZ —RUSSIANS SWARMING INTO SER- VIA—OBJECT OF THE PROPOSED ARMISTICE. Loxpox, August 31, 1870, A Belgrade despatch to the Daily News says the Turks keep up their attacks on the Servian lines near Aloxinatz, hoping to capture the place before a plan of mediation 1s adopted. The Servian intantry have deen worsted, but the artilery behave well, Rus- Wan influence is stubbornly interporing obstacles © peace, and Russians are swarming into Servin, Should the efforts now making for a six weeks’ ar- mistice succeed the Servian army at tho end of that time by reorganization, the influx of foreign officers and with the experience it has had uoder fire, will be stronger than at the beginning of the war.

About one o’clock this morning the Dayton Short Line Railroad freight depot was consamed by fire, to- xether with the contents.

There was an unusually Jarge amount of freight of all descriptions stored in the building, ptiuerpally tor merebants in this city, The loss on the freight is estimated at from $150,000 to $200,000, upon which there is very little, if any, nsurnnee. "As the law makes railroad companies responsible tor goods stored in freight houses only tor a. period of twenty-four hours a large part of the loss will fall upon theconsignees, most of thestreight having been stored two or three days.

Sr. Louis, August 30, 1876. Some two weeks ago Governor Hardin received a marked paper with an account of the doings of the Ku Klax in Ripley county. Hoe at once corresponded with Dr. Proctor, one of the parties waited upon, and the Pros- ecuting Attorney, telling the former to stand his ground ard the latter to move in the matter so as to bring the guilty parties to justice, Strange to say, no one professed tohave any idea as to who composed the band, thongh it was supposed some were from Ar- kansas. According to promise, however, the Gover- nor, on the return of Adjutant General Birgham, des- patched him to the scene of action. Tho General re- turned to Jefferson City yesterday, but as Governor Hardin was not there, he deéiined to givea copy of his report until he has first delivered it to the Governor. it seems that Birgham arrived too late to do any- thing more than to examine into and report the fact as the people had already met in mass convention and adopted resolutions, attaching their names thereto, de- nouncing the outrages and pledging their aid and sup- port in the arrest and prosecution of the criminals, of whom nine bad been arrested and placed in jail before ofthe county. whose names are now known, and are being arrested by the Sheriff, to tho number of thirty; that the com- bination appears to be similar to the organization known ag the Ku Klux, the mombers dis- guising themselves by masks and hideous unt- forms, in which they pay noctnrnal visite to citizens who are obnoxious to them, brataily whipping them and ordering them to leave the county. Owing to the expense of Keeping the prisoners by recommends a xpecial term of the Court for their trial and expresses the belief that with the assurances given. by the Governor and the spirit manifested by the law abiding citizens the disorder will cease, The Governor recetved a despatch from Arkansas this evening announcing the arrest of a man alleged to be the murderer of Willams, in Ripley county, last June, He says he will make requisitions for any por- sons in Arkansas who are implicated with the disorder 1 Ripley county, for whom «pplication is made, as the laws must be enforced.

Crandall with a hoe in July, 1874, and was sentenced to death in July, 1875, bat two stays of proceedings were granted in order to carry his case to higher courts, where the senteneo was affirmed, The Governor now denies the final ap- plication. The execution will take place at Canan- daigua, The tollowing letter was also sent with the notice to the Sheriff ALBANY, Augast 30, 187 To THe Sugnirr or OntTarno County, CaNaxpaiaua:— Sin—The Governor directs me, in view of the ap- proaching exceution of Charles Righmey, to call your especial attention to the provisions of the statute re- lating to the subject. It is the evident design that executions should be private, and that no one should ' be permitted to witness the kame except such as aro required to be present, His Excellency expects this in- tention of the law will not be evaded by the appotnt- ment of unnecessary special deputies or otherwise. With respect to the details which the law leaves to your discretion, he hopes that you will take the great est pains to discharge your duty with all decency, dig- pity and humanity.

AN EXPOSURE OF EX-CONGRESSMAN’S PLATT'S PLOT—THE PUBLICATION OF ANONYMOUS LETTERS AND AM ENDEAVOR TO FORCE A DURL. Portsmoutn, Va., August 30, 18° About two weeks ago a letter signed Paxton ap- peared in the Washington Republican, purporting to havo been written from Norfolk, agsalling, politically and personally, the Hon. John Goode, Congressman from this distric. Mr. Goode endeavored to obtain the name of the autbor, but without success, On the 2th a second letier, moro violent than the first, was published in the Republican, reiterating the charges in the first letter and offering,| to reveal the name of the writer, provided Mr. Goode would undertake in advance to meet him in a duelon Sunday. Capt. W. H. Coe, of Washington City, formerly commanding tho “Jeff Davis Guard,” a company in the Fourth Virginia regiment, arrived in Norfolk and madoa voluntary affidavit that on the 23d inst., in Washingtor, Mr. Platt showed him the first letter in the Republican and read to him the manuscript of his second letter, and asked him to ume the aathor- shij of it, and meet Mr. Goode in the duel which he expected, would follow its pub- lication. Ho promised Coe as a compensation a situation in the Norfolk Navy Yard. Coo accepted the proposition, and Piatt wrote off for him a form of acceptance of the anticipated challenge, putting his own (Platt’s) name in it as second. The next day the article appeared in the Republican, but Coe, upon reflection, came to the conclusion that he was gotting into the position ofa hired assassin and decided to throw ap his bargain with Platt and make the whole matter public, His affidavit was published to-day in the papers of Norfolk and Portsmouth. from Washington, pronounces Coe’s statem ARRIVAL OF MR. COE IN RICHMOND, Ricumonp, August 30, 1876. Mr, William H. Coo, whose exposure of ox.Congress- man Platt’s plot to involve Congreseman Goode, of Norfolk, in a duel or persona! difficulty was published in the Norfolk papers of to-day, arrived here to night. Coo was informed that Plott and Mr. Davidson, editor of tne National Republican, Id publish affidavits denying bis sworn ements in toto, and in response he reiterated that Platt bad endeavored to get him to personate one Paxton, and that he had left with Hon. John Goode Platt’s original letters, to be ueed in the event of a challenge from Goode, which were conclusive proof of his (Platt’s) infamous conspiracy. Coe 1s an ex Confederate officer, who lost his leit arm at Garner’ Mill, and was afierward commander of a company known as the President’s Guard in Richmond during the last days of the Confederacy. He is well known here, and egarded asa trutbfai and honorable man. DESTRUCTIVE STORM.

Wasurxcton, August 30, 1876, SECRETARY CHANDLER SATISFIED WITH THE BEPUBLICAN OUTLOOK. Secretary Chandler, Chairman of the Republican National Executive Committee, returned to Washing- ton to-day and resumed his duties in charge of the In- terior Department and as director of the political af- fatrs intrusted to his charge by the ropublican party. He is quite cheerful and woll satisfed with the outlook of the campaign generally for Hayes and Wheeler, He denies the statement, which he is reported as having made, that West Virginia would be carried by 5,000 majority tor the republicans. While he is firmly of the opinion that the State is as he says, in a knowing sort of way, but without any boastful manner, all right, ho 1s {ull of con- fidence, and one might readity infer that he ts in ear- est and nonest in hia conviction, nos studying effect, He has examined into everything carefully, but haxing adopted the rule not to - say any- thing about tho affairs or workings of the committee while he is chairman of It, he declines to inake public the inner proceedings and results already accomplished, Hoe may be quoted in a sentence to give his idea of what he looks tor in the coming campaign by this ono remark—I am content with what is being and will bo done, Everything is moving in excellent order.’’ Secretary Chandler will continue In tho dis- charge of his two-fold duties, and, whilo there is no Probability of his resignation of either of the positions ho now holds as Secretary of the Interior and Chair, man of the National Executive Committeo, it he. did withdraw at ali it would be from the latter.

Til- den, But by perjury ho swindled the government out of more than $100,000, and $100,000 can be surely proved against him.’? This was stated with the atmost positivism and has been repeated here by the person to the conversation, who is of high rank in the repub- lican party and ready to make good his assertion if re- quired. It is needless to add that his emphasis showed considerable animus and no good will. +--+ GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES,. Wasmrxarox, August 30, 1876. OPINION IN REGARD TO THE INDIAN OPERA- TIONS—SATISFACTOBY PROGRESS OF BECRUIT- ING. Although no recent tutelligence has been received at the Army Headquarters concerning the movements of Generals Crook and Terry it is believed their operations against the hostilo Sioux will, in all respects, be ul- timately successful. The country in which these Indians now are affords but little support, aud, therefore, they may separate in small bands, but the troops are so disposed as to render the savages powerloss for mischief, Since the Custer massacre temporary posts and depots for supplies have been established which will materially aid the military operations and hem in the savages from escape. The returns received show that recruiting is satis- factorily progressing, and that a short time only will elapse before all tho men authorized by law will be obtained. PREPARING THE FOUR AND A HALF PRR CENT BONDS--SKETCH OF THEIR APPEARANCE, The new four and a balf per cent bonds are being rapidly prepared in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing at the Treasury Department, and on Tuesday next tho first instalment, amounting to $10,000,000 at least, will bo turped over to the Register for issue. The work on them is progressing under the personal supervision of Mr. Jewell, chiof of the Bureau, and his ‘assistant, Mr. Casilear, at tne head of the engraving branch. The instalment to be delivered on Tuesday next, will consist of coupon bonds of the denominations of $500 and $1,000, and registered bonds of the denominations of $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000, The plates for the $50 and $100 coupon bonds and the $50, $100 and $500 registered vonds are nearly finished, and the bonds of thoso denominations will soon foliow the first batch of Tuesday. The coupon bonds will be tesued for $50, $100, $500 and $1,000, and the registered bonds for $50, $100, $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $16,000, The new bonds are beautiful specimens of work and are so finished with geomotrical lathe work and fine engraving that it would be almost an im- possibility to counterfeit them. Those for $50 bear a vignette of Oliver Wolcott; those for $100, one of Thomas Jefferson; those for $500, that of De Witt Clin- ton; those for $1,000, that of Alexander Hamilton; those for $5,000, that of John Quincy Adams, and those of $10,000, that of General George bh. Thomas. Ali of the bonds are princed on the special fibro paper, and the coupon bonds are somewhat larger than the old five-twenty or ten-forty bonds, as they have sixty coupons attached, instead of forty, like the old ones. There are two streaks of the blue fibre extending lengthwise of the bond, a portion of 1t covering each coupon, so that each one, as separated from the bond, will show the distinctive character of the paper which it is printed, upon Upon the face of the bond is a fine engraving of the Capitol Building, on the right of which ig the amount of the bond, executed in geometrical lathe work, surrounded by the words, ‘Principal and | interest payable in coin, at the Treasury of the United Statos,” and upon the left the portrait above referred to. Over the engraving of the Capitol are the words :— “Interest 444 per cent, funded Joan of 1891.” Then follow belaw the words, “The United States of Amer- fea are indebted unto the bearer in the sum of $1,00( the words “United States of America” being. in large letters, and each letter thereof bears the same words very flaely engraved, but brought out clearly with ® magnifying glass, Thea follows what is known as the story of the bond, which reads:—‘‘This bond ts issued in accor ance with the provisions of an act of Congress, en. titled an act to authorize the funding of the ,national debt, approved July 14, 1870, amended by an act ap- proved January 30, 1871, and is redeomable at the pleasure of the United States, after the Ist day of Sep. tember, A.

Within the border are the usual words, “Tho United States will Pay”? ete,, and the date of the maturity of the coupon, Each bond bears the large red seal and number on its face, and a corresponding number is upon each coupon attached, The rapidity with which they have been Prepared and the excellence of the workmanship upon thom is creditable to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and shows tho usefuiness of that institution, MOVEMENTS OF THE SECRETARIES.

THE NEGROES KERPING OUT OF SIGHT—NO FURTHER *TROUBLE LOOKED FOR—AN EX- SHERIFF SHOT ON ACCOUNT OF AN OLD FEUD, ‘ Moxnon, August 30, 1876, Several citizens—some twenty— wont to the scene of the troubles Jast night and returned early this morn- ing, reporting all quiet. They saw only one squad of armed negroes, numbering filteen, who hastily fled at their approach, The negroes gen erally were not seen. Apprehensions of serious trouble have partially subsided, but a feeling of insecurity generally prevails. Measures purely Pacific have been put in operation to prevent further Outrages upon the peace of the parish. Today, about fcur P. M., Dr. B, H. Dinkgran, for- merly Sheriff’ and lato’ Tax Collector of the pariah, was killed while going to Denver to the residence of Chief Justice Ludwig, where he was living. Dinkgras had passed 1. G. Dobson and J. Be- noit, who were noar the road, leading a wagon with a flag’ pole to. be. raised” ‘to-morrow. ‘Returning in few minutes Dinkgras called Dobson aside and told him there was a man who had been ly- ing around his premises three or four days, aud he feared the man was arming to kill him. He asked Dobson to go home with him about 200 yards up the road, The latter said, ‘-All right, I will go.’ The two moved off. As they approached” the house the stranger shot Dr. Dinkgras and mounted his horse and fled. Dr. Dinkgras was com- Hed in nelf-defence to kill a man named Wimberly, who had many friends. The impressien is general that his death is the result of an old feud. This is the supposition ef preminent republicans. The tragedy has created much feoling, but it Is clearly disconnected from politics, The Sheriff and a posse of white men have gone in’ pursuit, bat there aro no expectations that they will capturo the stranger, as he had two hours of a start, YELLOW FEVER, THE DISEASE ONLY SPORADIO IN SAVANNNAH, SAVANNAN, August 30, 1876.

Now let us hear from the greatest band leader in the world, the generous and high spirttod Gilmore, as to whether wo shall have this testimonial to bis musical peer at his splendia garden, and let us hear also from the managers, the big hearted Sheridan Shook and the siplomatic Palmer, Allow mo to suggest that a com- mittee of gentlemen should immediately be formed ta push this testimonial, composed of the above named atiemen, Dr, Ogden Doremus, Andrew Gilsey, W. R, organ, Colonel Gedirey, Hon. B. A. Willis, Judge Neary Hilton, Frank Work, Mr. Ottendorter, Judge Dittenhoeler and such other public spirited gentlemen ag will offer their services and who would be only toa happy to serve. It will be a burning shame and a disgrace to this city it sho does not move at once to xhow her appreciation of one of the greatest musicians in the world, whose orchestra has been the pride of New York.
