MENACING CHANGE OF FEELING IN EUROPE— THE ROSSIAN PEOPLE EXCITED—TURKEY TREADING A DANGEROUS PATH—SEBVIANS MUTILATING THEMSELVES. Loxpox, Sept. 11, 1876. The Times to-day, in an editorial article on the Enst- ern question, says tho temper of Europe is swittly un- dergoing a monacing change. More countrics than Russia might easily pass beyond the control of states- men. Tho very danger of which Earl Derby-warned Turkey threatens to become a reality. He sald, with startling force, that a renewal of the outrages would be more disastrous to the Porte than the loss of a battle. If tho statements regarding atrocities in Servia prove true it may matter little whether they should after- ward prove exaggerations. BXCITEMENT IN RUSSIA. The Russian people seom approaching a state of face excitement when even a false report will make an impossibility. Every day of warlare adds to @ hikelibood that the strife may overflow its present mit. TURKEY'S DANGER, There are diplomatic signs which might warn Tur- key’s rulers how narrow 1s tho foothold on which they must pick their way. Thoy will find it less easy than it bas been in former times to keep Turkey sate by ex- citing the jealousies of rival Powers. If they display their wonted astuteness they will seizo any expedient bhat offers a chance of peace. SERVIANS MUTILATING THEMSELVES. ‘A special, despatch from Belgrade to the Times gays:—*‘Betoro the publication of the order rendering soldiers mutilating themselves liable to the penalty of death or imprisonment for life, many Servians had already beon exocuted for that offence. On one occa- sion as many as forty in a batch were executed, I have been told that there are hospitals in which m than half the patients are of this class, ACTION OF THA TCRKS IN SURVIA. “Though accounts of somo Turkish outrages are un- PPily too well established to be doubted, a fair idea of the proceedings of the Turkish force 1s not to be gathered from tho fearful tales £0 carefully collected. An English gontieman who passed through a Servian district lately visited by the Turks reports'that he had Many opportunities of talking with the people whose homes bad been altogether in the hands of the enemy, ‘and he met with not a single case of gross outrage ”” SCHERNAYEFY’S PROSPECTS IMPROVING—AN- OTHER DECISIVE BATTLE TO BE FOUGHT. Brrerank, Sept. 11, 1876. There is little change in the Servian campaign. Tchernayeff’s prospec® are brighter than they wero week ago. Tho Turks evidently wish to pass Alexi- natz and take Deligrad by a flank movement, but that purpose has been checkod by the advance of Horvato- vitch, and ft 18 clear they will still havo to fight a decisive battle, There are no signs of the warlike spirit abating in Servia, BANQUET IN BELGRADE IN HONOR OF THE CZAR—SIGNIFICANT SPEECHES—‘‘RUSSIA AND SERVIA UNITED.” Loxpox, Sept. 12, 1876. A despatch to Reuter’s Telegram Company, dated Belgrade, September 11, says:— banquet was given at the Russian Consulate this tvening in honor of the namo day of the Emperor Alexander, Princo Milan was present and proposed tho health of the Emperor of Russia, He sald tho Emperor was Servia’s great friend and protector, and he thanked the Russian people for their sympathy and aid. “RUSSIA AND SERVIA UNITED.”’ “Councillor Kartsoff, the Russian Consul General at Belgrade, received a delegation previous to the ban- qvet. In a speech acknowledging their congrata- lations, he said henceforth Russia and Servia wero ‘united, ‘n attaek on General Tchornayeff began this morn- Ang and still continues,”’ THE BULGARIAN ATROCITIES. IMPORTANT SPEECH OF KARL DERBY—THE AC- ‘TION OF THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT EXCUSED— ‘THE DANGERS OF A EUROPEAN WAR POINTED OUT—WHAT MIGHT FOLLOW THE DISRUPTION OF TURKEY, Lospox, Sept. 11, 1876. The Earl of Derby, Minister of Foreign Affairs, ro- teived two depatations to-day, one representing the workmen’s movement on the subject of the Bal- farian atrocities and the other the Workmen's Peaco Society. Earl Derby, in reply to their addross, said he would not waste time in defending himself and his col. leagues against the various imputations thrown out by many writers and speakers in the prevailing excite. mont. But those imputations had been repeated so often that ne must allade to them. ‘THR GOVERAMENT’S ACTION RXCUSKD, The government had been charged with indifference w the great crimes commuted. Ali that had been done in diplomatic matters and in sendinga flect to Besika Bay was done, if not belore the outrages occurred, at any rate before they were known. THB GOVERNMENT NOT RESPONSIULE, He denied that the government was in any sense re- sponsible for outbreaks of fanaticism among the Turk- ish population, He described the previous action of the government, and said they had nothing tw unsay of what they had said and nothing to rogret in what they had done, WHAT THE TURKS MAY DO, If tne Turks believed ail Europe desired to drive them back into Asia they would break out in excesses prompied by revenge and despair. He velicvea the conviction that England destred fair play had done more than anything else to prevent the war from as- suming the character of a religious war and to prevent the commission of atrocities in many provinces in- woad of in one. EXGLAND HOLDS NO EXCKPTIONAL Positiox, England held no exceptional position in consequence ef the Crimean war, which, at its outset, was pusbed mainly by the Emperor of the French.

Thetast word on the Eastern question was, who is to have Constantinople? Any attempt at partition would be the signal for a European war. PROVIDING FOR THE SURJRCT RACES, But the relations between Turkey and her various subject races had been modified repeatedly, and they might be modified again. All arrangements for local self-government which had been made with Egypt, the Lebanon and Crete had been setticd with the con- currence of the guaranteeing Powers, but he would never put his name to any scheme which he believed would not work, WORKING FOR PEACE As to the future, the British government was doing all in its power to secure an armistice and peace. The changes to be made must depend upon the coneerted action of all Europe, and into the natare thereot he “could not now enter. It was unjust to denounce a whole race for the ‘aults of rome. WHAT 4 EUKOPRAN WAR WOULD LEAD TO. An endeavor to blot Turkey from the map of Europe would lead toa war, in which the Bulgarian horrors would be greatly exceeaed. It would drive the Turks into Asia, and still there would be many millions of Christians and Mohammedans living together and not in Turkish Asia only. XECESSITY FOR CAUTION. I do not think we could treat the question in any way that would more prejudice their position than if, in feeling indignation against tho atrocities, we hold language and display feelings against the whole Tu! ish Mohammedan races which would excite feelings of mutual animosity between the two religions. A WARNING. Let mo add a word of warning. Do not suppose be- cause we look upoa theso questions from a philan- thropte point of view all torcign Powers and foreign | politicians do the same, and as a sequel to this I would ask you not to ask your government to do that which 1s impossible, because it ydu adopt that course you put at out of our power to do anything at all. MIDHAT PACHA’S REFOKMS. A membor of the deputation asked Eorl Derby what chance there was for the adoption of Midhat Pach: constitutional reforms, to which His Lordship replied that he did not know what were Midhat Pacha’s pro- posals, Ho was aware that that statesman had very liberal ideas about reforming the Ottoman administra- tion, but was not aware of the character of his project. Even if he knew ithe would not be prepared to say anything about it without some previous examination and study. ENGLAND. REVIEW OF THE BRITISH GRAIN TRADE FOR THE PAST WEEK—A GROWING FEELING OF SECURITY--PBICES LOW AND THE GRANABIES GLUTTED, Loxpon, Sept. 11, 1876, The Mark Lane Ezpress, in its roviow of the British corn trade during the past week, says there has been more or less unsettled weather through- out the United Kingdom. In the northern dis- tricts wheat carrying has been much interfered with by heavy rains. In the south the crops were nearly all cut and carried during the fine weather, Should the rain continue it ts feared that barley will suffer in color and condition, and in many localities the fields are yet uncleared. All root crops have under- gone a great improvement. Although fears were ex- pressed at one time that the wheat crop would not ex- ceed that of 1875, this opinion {s not supported by the facts, Barley 1s well spokenot in many places, while oats aro almost universally disappointing. Beans and peas havo yielded fairly, particularly the latter. Thero seems to be some reason for believing that prices have touched the lowost points. j A-FERLING OF CONFIDENCE GROWING, Without a very marked increase in tho amount of business a feeting of greater confidence has sprung up and a decidedly healthier tono has pervaded the trade, Wheat has realized an advance of one to two shillings per quarter in the principal country markets, and in London, in spite of the continued heavy supplies from abroad, an occasional advance of a shilling por quarter has also been obtainable. This improvement appears tobe due tothe fact that millers have been holding short stocks in anticipation of a good harvest, and now that such anticipations are not likely to be realized they are eager to supply their wants before prices cvince a more decided upward movement. English wheat is being marketod very sparingly. THR GRANARIES GLUTTED, ‘This throws more of the demand op foreign produce, which would, doubtless, have advanced in a more posi- tive manner did not large arrivals and full granaries exercise a depressing power upon prices. The trade may find some support in the position of political affairs, but at this moment the glutted condition of the granaries checks any material advance. Maize, al- though still in Jarge supply, meets with a steady de- mand, and, with a short crop of straw and dear hay, the consumption of corn for feeding purposes bas iucreased enormously. The quantity of wheat afloat is considerably smalior than it was this timo last year. Tho falling off is mainly due to the decrease of sbip- ments from the Atlantic ports. AMERICAN AXD RUSBIAN CROPS, ‘Tho reports of American and Southern Russian crops appear to be decidedly less favorable as to yield than tho advices have been of late, In the floating cargo trado the arrivals at ports of call have boen very small Business has progrossed steadily at the late prices, while an occasional advance has been established on white descriptions, LOBDS OF APPEAL APPOINTED UNDER THE JUDI- CATURE ACT. Loxpox, Sept. 11, 1876. Judge Sir Colin Blackburn, of tho Court of Quee Bencb, and Right Hon. Edward Strathearn Gordon, Lord Advocate of Scotland, have been appointed Lords of Appeal, under the new Judicature Amendment act. SPAIN. GOVERNMENT ACTION AGAINST AN INTOLERANT OFFICIAL. Maprm, Sept. 11, 1876, An inquiry has been ordered into the conduct of the Sub-Pretect of Port Mahon, against whom complaints have been mado, charging him with acts of religious intolerance.

THE CASE OF ENGINEER WOOD—HIS BARLY WITHDBAWAL FROM THE BUREAU OF STRAM*| ENGINEERING YROBABLE. Commodore Howell, Acting Secretary of the Navy, says that, while he does not know it officially as an event certain to occur, there is some probability that Chief Engincer Wood, of the navy, who-has been em- broiled in a vonflict of offen: words and communi- cations with Representative White, of Kentucky, will shortly withdraw from the Bureau of Steam Fa- gineering at the Navy Department, not be cause of the difficulty he has been connected ‘with but because his time is near out, If thero is any intention of trying Engineer Wood by court martial it is said, in the ianguage of an old naval officer at tho Navy Department, to be locked up in the breast of Secrotary Robeson and will not be known until he is Teady to give orders to have it acted upon. While some of the officers feel that Engineer Wood acted indis- creetly in making public his affair, he has the sympa- thy and support of most of bis brother officers, GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCH ‘Wasurnaton, Sept, 11, 1876, PRESIDENT GRANT'S RESPONSE TO THE CEN- TENNIAL CONGRATULATIONS OF THE EMPEEOB OF AUSTRIA, Tho following 1s President Grant’s reply to the con- gratulatory letter of the Emperor Francia Joseph on the occasion of our centenary :— Uxyesxs S.

It is especially agreeabio’ to learn that the Sovereign of one of the oldest, most renowned and most wonderful nations of the Eastern Hemuspnero, rocognizes the progress in the prosperity accomplished during that period by the Western Re- public, and therofore deduces that a persevering ad- vance in tho same direction may be expected from her. Tho good wishes which Your Majesty ex; ses toward this country are cordially responded to, and I confidently hope that during the further reign of Your Majesty the progress ot the countries under your rule will be, in everything which conduces to the happin and prosperity of a people, as eminent as hitherto, and thas! pray to the Omnipetent to extend to Your Majesty His safe and Holy protection.

THE BROTHER OF THE PRESIDENT PICKED UP IN BT. LOUIS IM AN UNCONSCIOUS STATE— HIg SITUATION UNEXPLAINED. Sr. Lovis, Sept. 11, 1876, A man was picked up in a lumber yard near the Union depot in thiscity this morning, in an uncon- scious condition, and was supposed to be under the in- fluence of liquor. He Was takem-to a police station and locked up. He had a large number of letters on bis person addressed to Orville Grant, many of them ro- Iating to post traderships and government contract mattera, Altor being locked up a few hours the man RETURXED TO CONSCIOUSNESS; whoreupon it was discovered that he was really Or- ville Grant, brother of the President. He was not able to give a very succinct account of bimeclf. Some friends came and took him to the Lindell Hotel. No one knew of his. ar- rival here. It is supposed that he started from Washington to attend the letting of government contracts, which occurred heres fow days ago, and that he fell by the wayside, arriving here this morn- ing, scarcely knowing what he was about and wander. ing away into a lumber yard, where he became un- conscious. LONG BRANCH NOTES. THE FASHIONABLE SEASON AT THE SUMMER CAPITAL CLOSED. Loxa Braxcn, sept Mh, 1876, ‘The season at Long Branch may fairly be considered as having ctosed. The storm which 1s raging hore to- day willdrive the last few remaining gu from the hotels, and this but recently gay and festive summer resort already wears a wintry and desolate aspect.

The only hotel on the Bluff which remains open during the wholo winter is the Fast End, which ts tho resort of quiet and sociable family partios, Tho cottagers are also rapidiy taking flight.

A CURIOUS MISTAKE. New York Officials Said To Have First Moved for Extradition. THE CASE IN WASHINGTON. What, Sheriff Conner Has to Say About it. Mapmup, Sept. 11, 1876, The following aro additional particulars of the arrest of William M. Tweed ;— Captain General Jovellar at Havana received intel- hgence that Tweed had disembarked at Santiago de | Cuba and notified the authorities there. Before the latter could take action Tweed ombarked aboard the Sailing vessel Carmen bound to Vigo. Captain General Jovellar then telegraphed to tho Madrid government, whion, fearing the Carmen might goto some other Port, requested the authorities at all Spanish ports to examine the persons on board ail vessels named Car- | mom. There are twelve Spanish vessels of that name, HOW THE PORTRAIT WAS OBTAINED, A portrait of Tweed being indispensublo for his identification, the Spanish authoritics obtained and mado copies of a caricature in an Amertean journal representing him as beating a child, supposed to typify American justice. A CURIOUS MISTAKE, ‘This caricature led the Spanish authorities and re porters of Spanish popers to believe Tweed had been kidnapping children, Hence, in the first official an- nouncement received here of the arrest of “Twid Au- telme’? (which is supposed to have been a telegraphic corruption of “Tweed, American’’), it was stated that ho had been arrosted ior kidnapping American chil dren, CONFINED IN THE ISLE OF AT, SIMON. Tweed Is still confined on the Isle of St. Simon, in Vigo Bay, whero he is undergoing quarantine and is strictly watched by the Custom House guards, At the expiration of his quarantine he will be surrendered to the United States representati 70 BR SENT TO CUBA. As thero are no direct steamors between Spain and North America Tweed will be sent to Cuba and from there to New York. ? XEW YORK THE FIRST TO ASK HIS EXTRADITION, The EZpoca states that the municipal authorities of New York took the iniiiativo in asking for Tweed’ tradition {rom Captain General Jovellar, THE ‘‘BcsS’” WHEREABOUTS KNOWN FOR A LONG ‘TIME IN WASHINGTON—STEPS TAKEN FOR HIS CAPTURE—NECESSARY ACTION FOR THE REN- DITION—RETICENCE AT THE STATE DEPART- * MENT, Wasninatoy, Sept. 11, 1876, Notwithstanding the difficulty ot obtaining any in- telligence or reliabie information from the State De- partment in the absence of Secretary Fish and his first assistant, Mr, Cadwallader, it is ascertained to-night that it has been known to the Cabinot and to Prosident Grant for a long time that Mr. Tweed was in Cuba, hav- ing landed at Santiago in such a suspicious manner as to havo attracted tho attention of the Cubans. This, however, was kept a profoun d secrot at Mr. Fish’s re- quest in order that STKPS FOR W18 CAPTURE and surrender might ho taken betoro his escape, Such & programmne was in process, and the Cuban authori- ties manifested a willingnoss to deliver him upto the United States; but it is supposed he got wind of some- thing being done to embarrass him and so Mr. Tweed stealthily withdrew from the jurisdiction of Captain General Joveliar. The Attorney General, when talk- ing it over with Secretary Fish, aid that be would feel a groat deal more sure of his capture and surren- der when he had bim in his custody than while con- tempiating the process of his seizure and rendition. THE MAXNER OF RevorTION. It will be necessary for the State of New York, how- ever, under the working of federal and national laws, to ask the general government to apply to Spain for the arrest and delivery of Mr, Tweed, which will bo done as,a matter of comity rathor than of treaty rights. Apprehension is felt that on account of the Teputed lability of the Spanish authorities to bribory atthe military and other prisons, tho Boss may be able to offect a reloane, so that it doos not appear so sure here, after all, that ho will be turnod over to the United States authorities, THE ACTION OF NRW YORK. No such step is known to havo yet been taken by the State of New York, as Mr. Huntor, the Third As- sistant Secrotary of State, continues to resist all efforts to obtain any information of what is being done, and he gruffly shields himself behind a severe reticence, condescending only to say:—‘I am sorry to say that by the rules of the department we are forbidden to answer questions of tho kind.” This impediment placed by him in tho way of gleaning reasonablo infor. mation is In strong contrast to tho usual politeness of his superiors an@ the almost habitual obliging disposi- tion of other officials in Washington. THE ARREST UNDER DISCUSSION. The rumored capture of “Big Six” in Spain was tho exciting topic in City Hall Park yesterday. It was one of the “off days,” when politicians do not usually con- gregate thero; but in the afternoon the crowd of Aldermen and their fricnds was greater than usual, Naturally the conversation was of ‘tho Bors,” and old stagers, who in tho height of Tweod’s prosperity wore diamonds and fine linen, now timidly knocked at tho doors and humbly asked the officer's permission to on- ter ‘to see our Alderman.”” They were a soedy crowa, these politicians of tho past, who camo to listen and to speculate upon the probabilitics of tho capture of the old hero who used to put them on big pipe payrolis and permit them to draw monoy ad libitum from tho treasury for work never performed. The Aldermen were generally reticent, preferring to not hazard an opinion until the report of the arrest was confirmed, ALDERMANIC VIEWS. ALpenwasx Saven—It looks as if they have got tho old man; but what can they do with him? They hint that it is a republican dodgo and that Tweed has squealed to the republicans. If he bas he will be ablo to make matters interesting. Alderman Tcomry—If Twoed be the man it is likely that there will be some fun. My theory is that he nas given himself away to the republican party and that he will be a “guod enough lweed until alter the elec- tion.” We have heard a good deat about bis litte book. Probably the republicans will use him to create a diversion trom Belknap and Babcock, and perhaps he will show that be bas paid some money to Tilden, ‘That may do them some little good for a time, Alderman Jony Rr I don’t believe that Twood can show that he ever par Tilden acent.

AxoTnen Darvuty—Yer, he will “squeal” on Tilden, and if Magee be elected owing to such squealing Morgan will pardon him. That's the game. About three P. M. Sheriff Conner was seen by a re- porter, and he still seemed to think trero was some mistake, although oped the report would prove true, as it wouid rel him of a great responsibility if urned, ‘I have spent already, ’ riff, “$6,000 im kearching for ‘Iwoed.

[From tho Brooklyn Eaglo, September 11.] The enterprise of the New Yor« Herat has proved that Tweed is really {n custody in Spain, and proved it against the doubts and rather limping ridicule of all its metropolttan contemporaries, 1t is not very cred- itable to the sensational press of New York to reflect that as positive and direct a statement as could be sent about the capturo of ‘Tw universally discred- ited by its readers. Tho statement conilicted with no probabilities whatover, but the sensational troatment of the Tweed case had destroyed interost in itas a topic and confidence tn it as a matter of which t pect the truth.

This afternoon the Sheriff of Schuylkill county vend the death warrants to James Boylo, Hugh MeGeohan, James Rorrity and James Carroll, who are sentenced to bo hanged for the murder of Officer B, F. Yost, at Tamaqua, in July, 1875, and to Thomas Munley, sentenced to expiate on the gallows the unprovoked murder of Thomas Sanger, at Raven Run, in September, 1875, The prisoners wero brought from’ thoir cells, one by one, down into the office of the keeper of the prison, whero Judge Per- shing and a score of persons were gathered, Not one of the convicts flinched except Roarity, who betrayed some little nervousness. Boyle said, “Correct; much obhged to ye,”” McGeehan’ said, “All right, sir,” and when tho Sheriff made a remark about the unpleasant duty de- volving upon him, he laughed and said, “Oh, that’s nothing; if you didn’t do it some other body would. Roarity said nothing‘until tho warrant had been read, and then remarked, with a smile, “That's tho last of me.”” Carroll has nervos of iron and was as firm asa rock. Ho mado no sign, and when tho Sheriff said, ‘James, Prepare yourself,” the roply was, **I am prepared now, and when you carry that out, Squire, you can say you hanged an ‘innocent map.”’ Munley said tho warrant was ‘‘welcome.”” When he was rentenged-be asked the Court to plonse have the Warrant sent over a8 soom as possible. Ho hns not ro. 4 : ante Sherif Gnished Musee one, Sa knows you bere read it to an innocent man,” Tho warrants fix the 3lst day of October as the day of execution. Writsot error will be taken out and the warrants will be recalled. Schuylkill county does not get an audienco at tho Supreine Court again until March, 1877, so the thirst of the public for Molly Maguire blood will not be gratified before May or Juno t. The knowleugo of this tact probably helped tho prisoners today in maintaining their apparent con- tempt of approaching death.
