The Turks Making a Double Attack. LORD LOFTUS’ MISSION. Loxpox, Oct, 23, 1876, fhe morning papers contain little that is new or btartling in regard to Eastern complications, The feel- ing is not one of apathy, however. The absence f definite information only indicates the doubt which exists throughout Europe regarding the finality. The Ministry is waiting, the members of Parliament are watching, and the London press 1s uncertain, FIGHTING RESUMED, ‘The correspondents in the field are more active, The Porkish forces in servia resumed the offensive on Thursday and a battle began which lasted three days. It consisted of two distinct operations; one in tront of Baitschar and the other on positions command Ing Deligrad. In the latter movement the Turks, according to the Standard, captured on Thursday thirteen sredoubts, great quantities of arms and many prisoners. The fight was long and bloody. The Turks continued to advance. On Saturday there was further fighting. Halfiz and Abdul Pachas opened firo before Djunis and Fiazl Pacha shelled Alexinatz. The Servian forces at Djunis, under Horvatovich, were routed with great loss, There is aprobability that Djunis, which isthe key to the road through the Morava Valley, will fall ‘into the hands of the Turks. CONFIRMATION OF THE BATTLE. ‘The Times despatch from Belgrade reports that in the fight near Saitschar the Turks gained the day, having captared Bolevatz, Should the Turks mako good their double advance on Paratkin the Russo- Servian army would be placed in a serious position. ‘The affair is not yet decided. PAINFUL UNCERTAINTY. “The diplomatic situation is still painfally uncer. tain,” says the Times correspondent at Belgrade, “Preparations for war continue; so does the Russian immigration. It is stated on good authority that ‘22,000 Russians are recorded by name as having come to Servia,”” LORD LOFTIS’ VISIT TO LIVADIA. Arumor comes from Paris to tho effect that the mission of Lord Loftus to Livadia is to inform the Czar that England would not take the initiative in fresh nogotidtions; but ‘Would not feel horsolf attaeked so long as Russia’s no- gotiations struck no blow at the portions of the treaty of 1856 not modified by the London Conference of 1871, This rumor is not vouched for. THE SIX WEEK'S ARMISTIO, Intelligence has been received in Vienna fron Constantinople that the Porte will accept a six weeks’ armistic on the condition that the reform projects be not interfered with, and that the status quo be maintainod In Servia and Mon- tenegro. : RUSSIAN SENTIMEST, ‘The Czar is to be presented with an address from the Moseow Douma deciaring the readiness of all classes to obey all commands in reference the war for the liberation of the Slavs. Similar ad- @resses have been accepted from Town Councils ‘throughout the Empire. c NO RUSSIAN LOAN. Russia is saidte have abandoned the intention of Taising a foreign loan. SUDDEN RETURN OF GREECE'S KING, The King of Greeco left Vienna unexpectedly on Sun- day for Athens. A FRENCH DUEL. A duel has been fought on Swiss territory between Vicowpte Baruel des Roches aod Paul Gerard. The latter was pierced by his antagonist’s sword. and his life isin danger. The afar was the result of a politi oal quarrel. A LOCKOUT AVERTED, ‘The operative cotton spinners of Blackburn have de- cided to withdraw their notices, and practically the dispute in north and northeasterm Lancashire is at an end. EUROPEAN WAR NOEES. If Tarkey is advised to oppose the will of the Powers he will fall beneath a conflict compared with which Navarino or the passago of Halkaus by Russians, ander Diebitch, would be mere child’s play. It must bo remembered that it will not suffice simply to end the present war; the causes which led to it must be suppressed, If the causes are not removed war will begin over again. The fandamental reforms which should specially engage the attention of the European Cabinets are the removal of the Pachas and the govern- ing of Horzegovina, Bosnia, &c., by Christian mon.— Fremdenblatt, Berlin. ‘The Porte will make every move possible to avoid suicide, whatever may be done outside, She will op- pose peace so long “as she is not absolutely strangled imto accepting it. Before peace can be established even on a temporary basis the state of affairs in Servia mast undergo acomplete change. The Russian army Bow assembled in Servia must be dismissed, Tcher- nayeff and his tellow Russian officers must leave the country. Servia,so to write, must become herself again, Russia must resign all interfer2nce and assume the neutral; and herein, let us add, lies the very germ of all the difficulty.—Nene Freie Presse, ‘The government of France since 1870, without de- sorting the extended lines of her traditional policy, bas known how to preserve an honorable position m the councils of Europe The policy we have followed has been the policy of good sense—of the interests of France, 16 is beenuso she wishes peace; because, hav- ing repaired recent disasters, she has ceased to trouble Europe with ber vindications and ambitious projects, Still she bas regained an influence which it would be puerile for her enemies to dispute, She simply desires peace, consistent with repairing the legitimate evils of which the Turkish Christians complalu. She has avoided and must avoid all that looks like a coalition of interests, —La Liberté. The contest that our people sustain now against tho Turkish Empire isa battle for lite, a struggle for our existence, our Hberty, our rights, This holy struggle ts not directed against any nationality or religion what- ever. All we wisn is that our oppressed brethren may possess all the advantages we enjoy aud more. Turkey, braving civilization and humanity, employs the most brutal and barbarous means of war. She will recognize peithor right, liberty, jalth nor humanitarian ideas, Her domination is founded on violence, oppression and barbarism. She has deprived us of our rights guaranteedunder the Treaty of Paria, We wiil continue the war till wo succeed. —Statement of the Committee of the Servidn Skuntschina at Belgrade. * dhe New Free Press, ot Vienna, publishes an article movements of the special envoy from the Char are discussed without the slightest reserve, At this moment ali the journals In Europe are repeating that Count Soumarokoff carried to Vieonaa letter in the handwriting of the Emperor Aloxandet, contain- ing, besides the useal compiinents, somo very vague Indications on the necessity of an intimate accord be- tween the two Empir «1 & proposal for an Austro- Russian occupation of the Turkish provinces, tiie very explicit terms of which have caused the deepest emo- tion in diplomatic circles, Russia, according to the above named journal, proposes to Austria to intervene jp common undor the pretext of insaring the realiza- tion of the reforms which the Porte wou'd leave a dead Jettor and a mere, platonic promise if not obliged to executo them under the eye of the Powers, Austria would occupy Bosnia 4d the Herzegovina, while Russia would enter Bulgaria, and at the same time an Ansiro-Bessian fect would watch the Bosphoras, WASHINGTON. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Wanmrxarox, Oct, 22, 1876. SECRETARY MOBRILL AND HUGH M’CULROCH ON UNITED STATES SECURITIES. Secretary Morrill does not think that in the event of a war in Europe either the status of cur securities gon- erally, or more partieularly that of the four and a half per cont loan and its growing success, would be ma- terially affected, Should Russia engage in war, he sald thoughtfully, the demand for our bonds might be checked temporarily, but eventually it would benefit them, because they would be more sought alter as reliable securities, At all events, the character of the bonds would not be at all involved, but would come to be regarded by European financiers, by contrast with othor competing investments offered, as much safer from the nature of things which surround them calcu- Jated to influence their value and stability, He, bow- ever, contends that, should a change of administration occur that further negotiation of the four anda half per cent loan would be materially retarded. Tnis woula not arise so much from what the dem- ccratic party would do im. the way of legislation—as in the end it would not amount to much immediately with an opposing Senate to act as a check upon it—but he argues that the excitement of debate and proposal of various measures by a democratic House divided on finance, as has already been shown, would be likely to disturb the market and render financial circles timid and uncertain on the record of the permanency and regulation of the present guaran- tees of United States government bonds and the pay- ment of interest upon them. One of his predecessors, however, Hon, McCalloch, Secretary ot the Treasury under the late President Johnson, mow here, in the course of a long conversation to-night on the finances of the United States and their obligations, docs not concur with Secretary Morrill, but rather takes tho sane view as recently announced by Mr. Belmont in hisietter. Mr. MeCuiloch, who has been in London for a long time, says that the ascendancy of one party or the other does not make any difference whatever in the acceptability, success or standing of United States Bgvernment securities abroad. He believes that tH Teading men of the democratic party are at bottom all right on the question of correct natioual finances and tho integrity of the obligations of the United States, and if in power would not daro do anything which would impair their high character. Even Mr. Hendricks, whom ho well knew, although Ife was sus- pected of greenback proclivities, if elected would not countenance anything which would act injuriously to our national credit, A war in Europe, if they should have one, which he doubted, would ultimately benefit United States government securities, which would be preferred to other loans, MEMBERS OF THE CABINET IN CONSULTATION WITH THE CHAIRMAN OF THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN “EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE—THE PROSPECTS IN NEW YORK. Secretary Chandler arrived hore this morning from New York and this evening an informal meeting of members of the Cabinet with him was had, itis under- stood for the purpose of talking over the political situa tion, Secretaries Cameron, Morrill and Attorney Gea- cral Taft were invited to meet Mr. Chandler at half- past nine o’clock, and an earnest consultation followed, Secretary Chandler, spoaking as chairman of the National Republican Executive Committee, with refor- ence to his political labor in New York city, says that everything is moving harmoniously, and the situation in New York State nevor lvoked better. He is of the opinion that tho democratic party cannot carry tho State unless by a system of stupendous frauds, adding, with emphasis, ‘frauds larger than they can perpe-, trate.” DENIAL OF ANY UNFRIENDLINESS BETWEEN PRESIDENT GRANT AND GOVERNOR HAYES— THE TRUEST CORDIALITY EXISTS. Representations having been mado that an un- friondly stave of feeling exisis between President Grant and Governor Hayes, it may be stated on the authority of Attorney General Taft that it bas been demonstrated that the most cordial sentiment exists between them. , Persons who are iaimical to both apd antagonistic to them politically have been quite as- siduously at work in visiting the various newspaper oMfces of lato and making statements of co versations overheard here among Governor Hayes’ intimate friends, and which they assert cov- ered expressions to the effect that neither Governor Hayes nor his frionds were going to allow any belief to arise that ho was disposed to assimilate with President Grant, eithor in matters of policy or in the-conduct of the close of his administra- tion. President Grant feels, as ho has shown on every occasion, very cordial feelings towari Governor Hayes. Ithas beon said, also, that Governor Hayes would give no indorsements io, nor ask any favors of any one under the pres- ent administration, while the fact is that several recommendations for the retention of clerks have been made by Governor Hayes in the Interior and Post Ofilce departments, and theso desires have been javariably respected, Prosident Grant will continue to manifest toward him the distinguished consideration and friendship he has invariably shown before and since the nomination of Governor Hayes. SENATOR PATTERSON AND THE ARMY. Officers of the army and War Department officials are very indignant at the imputations cast upon them by Senator Patterson, of South Carolina, in a speech which he delivered here last night, who made the broad assertion that a large part of the trouble expert- enced by Southern republicans is trom the aMliation of army officers with the democrats when they aro ordered among them to repress alleged outrages and violence. The military officials resent this statement and say that when officers are ordered on daty any- where and clothed with responsibility and discretion they do not know cither democrats or republicans, bat simply obey their instructions impartially. It is ve- Heved that dissatisfaction has arisen because on slight pretext, or in imagined disturbances, as is often the case, parties are not successful in the Southern States in their applications for, small bodies of troops to go here and there, The officers take a calm view and do not act on impulse, no matter how they are impor- tuned, notwithstanding they are claimed by the repub- Neans. When detailed they believe it ther duty protect all alike, and do this very strictly. : IRELAND'S CENTENNIAL ADDRESS. The Hon. O'Connor Power, M. P., who has had charge, with h‘s colleague, Mr. Parnell, of Ireland's Centennial Address Kk eSerangs Grant, has received a communication from™the Hon. Mr, Cadwalader, acting Secretary of State, touching the formality necessary in having it presented through the British Minister, as required by diplomatic regulations, adding that tbe State Department will be pleased to co-operate i that direction. In reply to thas, it is said by a friend of the Hon, O'Connor lower, that the latier is going vo re- spondin a respectial, firm and pithy manner. [tis but justice to President Grant to say that he was willing, at first, to receive the address at his hotel when in New York, or bere, at the White House, with- out more ado until the attention of the President was called to the etiqnette required in retererfice to tis.

Literally an Armed Camp. MARCH OF THE FEDERAL COHORTS. Astonishment of the Troops at Finding Nothing to Fight. WHY THE LEGISLATERE WAS NOT CONVENED. Evidence That It Would Not Support the ' Military Policy, Reign of Terror in the Low Country. NEGRO RAID ON MOUNT PLEASANT. Corvusia, S. C., Oct. 22, 1876, Governor Chamberlain’s assertion that the Stato is like an armed camp has been verified. Troops havo been pouring in from North Carolina, Virginia, New York, Maine and Massachusetts for tho past day or They are mainly concentrated at this point, and the city pow assumes an aspect of war, not at all unlike the occupation by General Sherman in 1865 two, Tho streets, the hotels, saloons and the highways are filled with them. All the officers of the garrison have been requested to appear in public im full uniform, and, while the whole matter is farcical in the extreme, ‘THE POLITICAL RFPECT of itamong the negroes is seen in the swagger and bravado they now assume, Ithas gone forth among them that the troops have been sent here for their especial protection, to see that the State goes for Hayes and Wheelor and Chamberiain, and the formida- ble display of the force and power of the national government consolidated the negro republicans and intimidated the class of thom who have gone over to Hampton. ASTONISHMENT OF THE TROOPS, An assuring feature of the military occupation was related to me this evening. The companies from New York were packed off so suddenly that they believed an actual war existed in the State, and some expected the train to be fired into as soon as they crossed the South Carolina line. So confident were they of this that ammunition was issued to the men and thoy were held in readiness for afight at any moment. Their blank astonishment can best be realized in this general ex- pression among them, that the political excitement in New York is much greater than anything they have witnessed sinco their arrival. DEMOCRATIC NEGROES INTIMIDATED. If the election took placo t&morrow there 1s little doubt that Hampton would be elected by a heavy ma- Jority, but it is impossible to conjecture the result on the 7th of November, on account of the political effect of tho military on the colored democrats, The action of the President in granting Governor Chamborlain’s re- quest for troops, without demanding an application from tho Legislature, as proscribed by thaconstitution, has caused consideraple comment in political circles here. The Ellenton riot was tho last armed outbreak in the State before the Cainboy massacre, which took placo on the game day tho President iesued his proclama- tion. It occurred on the 19th of September, and ina week everything was quict. Twelvo days elapsed be- tween the issuance of Governor Chamberlain’s procia- mation and that of the President, with easy communi- cation between all parts of tho State. THE LEGISLATURE NOT CONVENED, The reason why the Legislature was not convened in special session is a matter of speculation. The gener- ally conceived opinion 13 that the Governor felt tho Legislature would not sustain his application for troops, Information I have collected informally trom diferent parts of tho State leads me irresistibly to the samo conclusion, One-fourth of the members aro democrats, and a largo number of republicans are still smarting under the abuse and con- tumely they experienced at the hands of tho Governor in his attempt to createa one man power. These would not support him. Many others, like the entire Judiciary of the State, are willing to testify to the existence of perfect peace in their respective counties, This is why Governor Chamberlain did not, in conformity with the constitutional requirement, convene the Legislature, He knew his demand for troops would not be sustained by that body, intensely republican as it is, and he was too shrewd to risk the experiment of calling it togother at this crisis, These facts farnish conclusive proof that the proclamations and the troops aro but PART OF A CONSPIRACY ot the Governor to carry the State for himself and the natignel republican ticket, Both parties aro still ac- tively engaged in the canvass. On Saturday 2,000 democrats, mounted, appeared in a democratic proces. sion at Graniteville, and on the samo day 800 republi- cans, mounted, in procession’ attended a republican | meeting at Winnsboro. Last week at a republican meeting at Darlington, ongineerod by Whittemore, of cadetship fame, a company ot colored men, armed and equipped, rode in the Jine, while another company ap- peared in full uniform, The wh: have ail yielded peaceful submission to the command to disband their |, Tifle clubs, but no steps bave been taken to disarm the negroes, who still parade with arms furnished by the State. As 1 have before said, tho NEGROES, OF SOUTH CAROLINA are by no means as doctle and peacelul as they havo been represented. While unable to cope with the whites In actual conflict they are impulsive and can easily be aroused to frenzy. irresponsible ana under control of unscrupulous leaders, they are, when or- ganized and armed, a sanding menace. It is a noto- rious fact that while arrests of whites are made by the federal authorities the agencies of the State courts aro invoked when blacks are arrested, This is dono to impress the blacks with the betlef ‘that the troops are to bo used solely against the whites, CHIRP JUSTICK MOSES. I must correct a prevalent error concerning the iden- tity of Chief Justice Moses, who testified as to the peace ot the State, He is an able, constitutional lawyer, and has held office for over thirty years. He is not Judge Montgomery Moses, who was Impenched by the Legis- jaturo, nor is he F. J, Moses, the rovber Governor, | Iso recently electod Judge by the republican Legisinture, who wes CHAMMERLAIN WEAKENING. Notwithstanding the troops and ali the parapher. nalia of war which ho bas occasioned in the State, the | | G@overmor sull continues te weaken, I have is aa. * coming directly trom him that ho would give $10,000 to get out of the position he now occupies politically, and he would give $100,000 to escape all the vituper- ation and abuse that is being heaped upon him. WADE HAMPTON'’S ADVICE TO SOUTH CARO- “INIANS, Avausta, Ga, Oct. 22, 1876. General Hampton, im a speech at Aiken, told the People to offer no resistance to arrest, bot to submit quietly to everything, If United States soldicrs aro ordered to fire upon the people the latter must not _re- sist, but bare their breasts and be willing to die for the good of the country. The peoplo aro determined upon ®@ peaceful victory and must give no pretext to their enemies to find tho slightest grounds for the charges made, The price of the Hxnaun to-day and henceforth wilt be three cents, BAID OF NEGRO MILITIA ON MOUNT PLEASANT— FEARFUL THREATENING OF WHITE MEN AND ‘WOMEN—AN APPEAL TO GENERAL RUGER FOR PROTECTION—EFFECT OF THE CAINHOY MAS- BACBE, Cnartestox, 8. C., Oct. 22, 1876. ‘Tho reign of terror in the low country continues, and the few whites who live there are in momentary terror of their lives, The massacro at Cainhoy has emboldened the negroos, and yesterday evening a band of about 400 of tho militta, armed with State guns, Supposed to be tho men who wero, engaged in the Cainhoy butchery, marched into the village of Mount Pleasant and nt- tered loud threats ot murdering the inhabitants and They rushed through tho streets and samo burning the town, firing their muskets and shouting ‘“‘Remomber Cain- hoy.” There are about forty white citizens in tho town and about fifty colored democrats, PREPARATIONS FOR DEFENCE. These collected together, armed themselves as best they could, moved all the women and children into one house aud made preparations to defend them, A steamer, lying at the wharf, was got ready to bring the women and children to the city, which is about two miles distance from Mount Pleasant, The white and colored democrats—against the latter of whom loud threats were made by the negrocs— remamed on guard all night; -and the republicans, ind, finding that they were determined to make a did not carry out their intention, A RETURN TO THR SWAMPS. Thoy left for the swamps about daylight, threatoning to return soon and burn the village, kill the men and outrage the women, This statement is a literal rela. tion of what was witnessed by a Hxraup reporter, and ig not in the least oxaggerated, Many of the negroes wore those implicated in the Cainhoy massacre. “ CAUSE OF THR ATTACK. ‘The attack upon the town was caused by the report {Mat a colored democratic meeting was to be held thero, Not ono of the negroes implicated in the butchery of the whites at Cainhoy has yet boen arrested, although the Sheriff, who ts their loador, knows them all, AM APPEAL FOR TROOPS, Ameoting of tho citizens of Mount Pleasant was held to-day, and a committee was appointed to go to Columbia, wait on Genoral Ruger and ask for a company of fodoral troops to be stationed there. Tho negroes in thig section outnumber tho whites over ten to onc, and since the Cainhoy catnage have become periectly outrageous. Unless the government: sends troops many white men and women and colored domocrais will be murdered. A DAY OF PRAYER. It was announced in all the white churches to-day that Thursday, the 26th, would bo observed asa day of fasting, humiliation and prayer for the success of the movement for good government. A DIANOLICAL OUTRAGE. At Summerville, twonty miles from this city, on Sat- urday, an attempt was made by negroes to outrage tho little daughter of the band master of tho First United States artillery, stationed at that point No arrests have been made as yet. The troops in camp at Cainhoy report overythin quiet. The negroes have not yet come to tho village, BIOTOUS NEGRO DEMONSTRATIONS IN CHARLES- TON COUNTY—ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF THE MOUNT PLEASANT AFFAIR.

FUTILE OPPOSITION MEETING TO TUE BECENT REDUCTION IN THE PRICE OF THE PAPER. In the rear basement of No. 1,269 Broadway a meet- ing was held last evening, pursuant to a call made by some persons, names «till unknown, to discuss the reduction in the price of the HxraLp, At seven o’elock, the hour set down for business, there was a nondescript crowd present apparently anxious to at- tend the meeting, but without any idea as to what was to come of it, At that time, though the place was full of individuals, nos one of them seemed empowered to assume any responsibility; hence the difficulty concerning thepresiding oflicer which followed. As might have been expected of such an assemblage notbing practical resulted except the adjournment tos reassemble, which is always asimple report of prog- ress where there is none, 1t was ostensibly a meeting of news dealers who, It must be said, were conspicuous only by their absence, ‘There were, in fact, about twenty or thirty grown men present; the crowd wero the oi polloi of the very smalicst possible fry. In short, they were mere boys, attractod by the unusual announcement of a meeting in the Henan interest on Sunday night in such an out of the way place, This will be understood when it is known that the call posted read as follows:—*'The sub- Ject of this meeting will be to discuss the Hexatp and its cost,” The real purposo of this remarkablo meeting was s00n discovered to be the formation of a combination of newsdealers to counteract the beneficial conse- quence of the recent reduction im the price of the Herarp, A more unruly set of youngsters it would have been impossible to gather together. Thoy shouted and yolled and clapped their hands and stamped their feet until the noise was absotutely deafening. Order was a thing foreign to their natures, and the attempts of one or two of the older men present went entirely uprewarded, It early became apparent that the orig- inal callers of the meeting intended to keep in the buck- ground until they could ascertain the sentiments of the majority of the newsdealers of the city, who wero not there at all, Never was there greater difficulty experienced by the callers of any meeting than that discovered by those who attempted to call this to order. Such a thing was impossible, Chaos was rampant, order was out of the question; in fact—the only thing akin to order was its antithesis—disorder. No one would come forward and lead off, and at one time it looked as though nothing whatever would be done. Loud calls were made for Mr. Tyson and for Mr, England, but neither of those gentlemen put in an appearance. Finally a Mr Richardson moupted a table and said that as no one elee would do anything, and he was anxious to got home he wonid call the meeting to order, The an- houncement was received with s perfect storm of cat calls and cheers, one urchin shouting out “Bully for you, old coffinback, you’re our oyster.” ‘The self: appointed chairman then went on to recito the evils which tho meeting was called to correct, He said “The HeRatp claims to have reduced its price, but whose pocket does the Joss come out of? The margin ofhalf a cent on acopy is too close to enable us to make a living. © I kaow that in my own case I have to Tun around and squeezo and scrapo to get a living, whilo newspaper proprietors are rolling in wealth, The winter 1s coming on, and We must tradge around in the slush and the snow and the mud so that our customers can have their papers at breakfast time, I wish some gentleman would suggest something, For my part I’ll do anything that the rest agree to do, either not take any Hrnapsat all or only just enough for our regular customers. Last year somo ono wrote 4 note to the Heap that they couldn’t get that paper on the stands, and the Heap said then that they would send people of their own hiring all through the city if we didn’t tako enough for the stands to supply the demands, It is a question with me whether we can fight the paper, because there 18 such a demand for it.”? Mr. Richardson’s oratory was certainly forcible, but he was interrupted at almost every sentence. “Ah, sitdown!”” “Give it to them, old epitinvack 1? “1 move we let the Hxratp get stuck on afew thousand !’? Wo can burt their circulation!” ‘Hon’t let us take out any!?’ “Put one-eyed witness in Yhe chair!’ and kindred observations, Mr, Richardson having con- cluded, a good deal of timo was wasted in cfforts to effect an organization, Some one suggested that an association be formed, “something ché&p that wouldn’t cost much money.’? There was, so much coniusion, however, and in tho absence of afly one to keep order or suggest a practical proposition, that nothing was ac- complished. Everybody was at loggorheads, and the meeting seemed likely to break up at this very unsatisfactory crisis, notwithstanding that the Hxxaup reporter, who was present im cog, had been asked to take the chair by an enthusiastic lover of order in the person of a youth who addressed him fervently thas:—"Say, young foller, can’t you waltz into the chair and fix things? The gang is crooked,” when oil was poured upon the troubled waters by what is known to the initiated as “a break.” There was a new arrival in the person of a dealor known as Babeuf, who ejaculated talismanically, “Order, gentlemen !”” Such an appeal awakened the deepest sympathies of the audience, who rejoined spontancously in accents like these :—*Bally for you!"’ **You're solid!” “Shoot the Dixie!” “Oh, twig his dicer!"? Tho effect was elec- trical. Silence ensued, and then he stated that he had just received information that the Hrranp had hired 5,000 boys, ut $3 a week apiece, simply to sell the papers, and that they wore to commence, to-morrow. This stateme at was the signal fora flerco yell of indigna- tion, “I movo wo kill thom boys!?’ “I second it!’” “L third it!” “I fourth it!” snouted the juveniles, “Oh, we'll kick the stuffin’ out of em,” was a senti- ment which was wildly choered. “T have also heard, gentiemen,”’ continued Mr. Ba- beuf, “that on Wednesday the price of the Henan to dealers will bo two and a quarter ¢ents, and I think the best thing we can do is to adjourn until Wednesday night, so that wecan seo what will bo done in the meantime.” “Where is the chairman “Oh, he’s lost in the crowd,’’ was the reply. *‘Then I'll put the mo- tlon myself All those in favor of adjourning this meet- ing until next Wednesday night, at balf-past seven o'clock, in this plice, say Ayo.” The one hundred boys sent up a throat-splitting response, a rush was mado for the door and the mecting was adjourned.

Subsequently o number of the largor dealers met when the boys had dispersed and discussed the situation, The prevailing sentiment was that it would be an act of folly to attempt to force or dictate to the HeRa.p, and it was agreed on Wednesday evening to organize a newsdealers association, draft a set of reso- lutions, circulate them for signature, and then have thom presented, praying for a reduction of tho price to two and a quarter cents per copy. Said one dealor to the reporter, “It would be biting off our noses tospite our faces to agree among ourselves not to tako any Heraos, because tho people will have the paper, and the result would be that dealers not agreeing with us would reap all the profit,” The price of the WenaLp to-day and henceforth will be three cents.

WITHDRAWAL OF INDIANS FROM THE BED CLOUD AGENCY AND REFUSAL TO BETURN— TROUBLE ANTICIPATED—RAID OF THE SAVo “AGES ON A SUPPLY TRAIX. Cunvesxx, Wy. T., Oct 22, 1876 The advices from the Red Cloud Agency to the 200% inst. are as follows :— Immediately after tho Commissioners left the ageney recently the Indians moved and camped about twenty-five miles away, sending ip a few squaws and bucks on issue days to draw rations. They were so far away that no information could be obtained of their moveineais or doimgs, and, doubtless, many of them were off on raiding and plundering expeditions, Word was sent to them by Captain Smith, Acting United States Agent, to como into the agency, but to this they paid no attention, Meanwhile General Crook and sev- eral members ot bis staff arrived thei nd word waa immediately sent to these Indians that no more ra- tions would be issued until they came into the agency and remained. TROUBLE ANTICIPATED. Yesterday was issue day and very few Indians were prosent. Red Cloud was at the agency without a mem- ber of his band and he refused to recoive rations, Tho ultimatum gent to the Indians will not be receded from in the slighte-t degree, and uniess its terms are complied with trouble Is anticipated, Lientenant Chase, with acommand of 100 cavalry, lett Fort Russell yesterday to intercept the raiding parties which aro operating im the vicinity ot the Chug.

Jorn Otters, who was wounded by Indians near Bridge's Ferry on the Gth inst, dicd in hospital at Fort Fetterman to-day. AFFAIRS AT FORT P#CK ARBNCY—FEARS OF AM INCURSION PROM SITTING BULL—CONFLICT+ ING VIEWS OF GENERAL SHERMAN AND THB ¥RONTIERSMEN. Wasmscrox, Oct. 22, 1876. Tho recent dispatch of Indian Agent Mitchell, as Fort Peck, has been variously construed among those here famitiar with Indian affairs, Some thought that on account of the agent asking, ‘What course shall I pursue?” his inquiry carried with tta tone of alarm, Since Sitting Bull, a short time ago, sentin to Fort Peck, asking that he might be allowed to trade for ammunition, which was refused, it is now thought barely possible that the last intimations given by him might mean that ho was coming in with a force to plunaer the place. VIRWS OF SRAL SITERMAN, Tho General of tho army, when asked for his theory of the affair, said:— “The agent merely wants to know how he.should deal with Sitting Bull, and the Indian department in- structed Mr, Mitchell that he must exact the surrender of his mon as prisoners and take away tholr ponios and arms.”’ General Sherman does not think that Sitting Bull could be coming in to do violenée, because he has only a handful of followers, perhaps twenty men. “But,” said the Genoral, smiling, “tho old feliow 1 tired of fighting and worn out with harassing, Almost all his warriors have lett him, and he wants to come in now to be cared for and ‘fed. Ho sees ho bas na chance now but this except of yeing hunted down by the soldiers, who are after him so continually.” OPIXION OF FRONTIERSMEN, —~ Frontiersmen here who profess to know Sitting Bull and his warriors do not agree with this view, citing the fact in contradiction that he never yet has com@ into the agencies and has always refused\to accept clothing or rations from the government, baving also declined to take tho white man’s hand. They say thas his visit will not prove to be of a pacific cl ter, Thore aro no troops at Fort Peck, which is only a trad- ing post Jor the Indians on tho Missouri, and hence whatever may be the object of his coming there Sitting Bull can have his own way. It 1s inferred that he is going to raid all along the Missouri for supplieg and ammunition. HOTEL ARRIVALS. Professor Goldwin Smith, of Toronto; Signor A.
