A DREADFUL BELGIAN MURDERER, The Forte Accepts a Six Weeks’ Armistice. Loxvox, Oct. 24, 1876. it is announced sem!-officially that the Porte accepts ® six weeks’ armistice, suggesting a further prolonga- tion of six weeks if atthe conclusion of a month and a half deliberations are incomplete, and Mt at the end “of twelve weexs settlement is reached, that there be a further armistice of two months, This statement is confirmed in all respects, except as to the proposals for the pro- longations of the armistice, which it is said, are made 38 conditions, not as suggestions. THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR. ‘The Russians at Posth believe that if tho Turks take Kruschevatz, Russia will make an armed intervention. General Tobernayeif has withdrawn ,from Djunis and the road is open to Kruschevatz It 1s reported that the Hospodar, Prince Charles, is to be proclaimed King of Roumania. NO ULTIMATUM ¥ROM RUSSIA, It is now denied that Russia has sent an ultimatum. “The Ottoman government has not been summoned to subject its reforms to commissioners protected by Sn armed force,” says the - Pos, “It bo be hoped that the two Powers which aro in direct bogotiation may come to a speedy understanding. England, while having withdrawn interference, will resent any tnfraction of the stipulations of the Treaty of Paris.” no is PARLIAMENT PROROGUED. The Council previously armounced was held by tho Queen at Baimoral yesterday. Parliament was further prorogued trom October 80 to December 12, 1876. DISTRESS IN BOTH ARMIES, Unparalieled gistress prevails im both armies and, throughout Servia, according to the Standard of this morning. Unless peace is speedily proclaimed the tountry will bo utterly ruined. There is no suffering in Belgrade, but in the interior thousands of people are Marving. The majority of the soldiers aro wearing Shoir summer linen uniforms and have no blankets. There are 180,000 Bulgarian aud Bosnian refugees in Bervia. PEACE OR INTERVENTION. Russian diplomats say General Ignatieff has been in, structed to inform the Sultan that Russia makes the English proposals ber’s with additional guarantecs. If the Porte rejects them intervention will be-begun sim- altancously by Russsia, Greece and Roumania. Goneral Ignatieff will have private audience with the Sultan to-day, A Berlin despatch says the Porio is Peady to grant Russia’s latest demands, provided the Integrity or the Ottoman Empire is guaranteed, A MORE HOPEFUL OUTLOOK. The steady advance in consols and other interna- tional stocks, which fell during last week’s panic, in- dicates the prevailing impression hore that war is not Imminent, and that a peaceable solution of the East- ern question is not impossible. ‘There is, per- haps, danger tbat unreasonable may be succeeded by unreasonable the Times said in its leading article yesterday, “but it is evident that we need not despair of seeing the crisis pass away without an outbreak of hostilities between Russia and Turkey.’’ Heretofore the Times ‘has considered 4 Russo-Turkish war inevitable. The mme change of opinion 18 noticeable in other quar- jers. The recent excitement hax had the good effect of demonstrating what would be the attitude of tho Powers 1n case of an aggressive war by Russia. Hada six weeks’ armistice been accepted by the Porte it is not unlikely that the termination would have wit- nessed the samP hostile demonstration on the part of Russia, with greator danger of resulting in actual hostilities, It seems probable now that the question may be settled peaceabiy. THE RESULTS OF GERMANY’S COURSE. Perfect harmony seems to reign among the Powers. Germany’s answer, uttered with that almost cynical frankness which bas more than onco startled di- plomacy, may be credited with having brought the pew undorstanding about, While she saw no objection to the six months’ armistice, the only chance for pro- serving a comma understanding and common action | of the guaranteeing Powers was to deciare with Ru in favor of the equally unobjectionable six woeks’ rmistice, because Russia’s committais might not Jet her free to compromise, while other Powers bad perfect liberty of action. Even England, which had already accepted the six monthe’ armistice, decided to accept this basis for the restoration of so-called har- mony by offering no opposition to tho six weeks’ truce, byt baving at the same time disclaimed the ‘ead which she hitherto held in negotintions with the Porte, the initiative now devolves on Russia, and Gen- eral Ignatieff has returned to take it. ‘WHAT RUASIA 1S TO ASK A special despateh from Vienna to Le Nord, the or- gan in Brussels of the Russian Embassy, announces “ ghat Goneral Ignatieff, tho Czar’s Ambassador at Con- stantinople, will insist on a six weeks’ armistice. He fs instructed to expiain Russia’s motives to the Porte, It 1s belteved that his representations will be moder. ately couched, and not take the form of an ultimatum, and that other Powers will sapport Rassia’s proposals. AUSTRIA AND THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE. The interpeliation reintive to the Eastern question which {t is proposed to introduce in the Reichsrath ix regarded in diplomatio circles in Vienna as wn crror of Judgment, because Austria’s policy 1s still adhesion to the triplo alliance. LORD LOPTTS' MISSION, ‘A despatch to the official Russian telegraphic agency says the departure of Lord Loftus, the British Ambas- saaor at St Petersburg, for Livadia, and Goneral Ig- natiof® for Constantinople, should be interpreted as further proof that Russi and England = aro endeavoring to arrive at a sound and tast- Ing pacification. Per contra, despatches trom Bucharest report that the Vatcle array of the concen- trated Roumanian army bas been officially published, and that Prince Charies assumes command. Although this looks rather Alarming, 18 will probably be followed by the announcement that it only rofers to tho usual Gisciplinary movements. Monntime fighting in tho ‘Timok and Morava valleys and on the Drina has been renewed with great stubbornness, General Tchernayefl telegraphs that tbe Turks wore repulsed along tho whole line, but the evidence of newspaper correspond- ents is unanimous that the Servians wore badly whipped and lost 1,500 men jo their attempt on Baltschar and 3,000 about Deligrad. 4 A Gespateh from St. Potersburg states that Lord Léfias has no diplomatic mission at Livadia, The Czar prolongs his stay there until December; therolore the ordinary conduct of political business is transferred to Bivadia, . GETTING RID OF OBNOXIOUS MINISTERS. Aconspiracy was discovered in Constantinople yes- (terday to assassinate the Grand Vizier and Midhet Pacha. Two Ulemas of high rank and Ramiz Pacha have been arrested and summarily exiled to various islands. It ts believed that other arrests will be mado. THE TURKISH VICTORIES. According to the Standard’s special ‘the Turks have taken all the positions up to within cannon shot of Djunis, and very likely will take the latter, whereupon Deligrad, Alexinatz, Genera! Tchernayeff’s new head- quarters at Kaonck and the whole Morava Valley will be in their hands." This new aspect of affairs is likely to hasten Russian action either for war or peace. Russian officers, of wnom there is said to be fourteen for each Servian battalion, suffered heavily tm the re- cent Oghting. The Servians admit that the Turks cap- tured Krevet Heights, southwest of Djunis, after three days’ fighting. A Servian bulletin says although the position is important its loss is not believed to be de- etsive, as Djunis commands the Servian line, The position is critical. Russia's active aid is auxiously awaited by the Serviang. The Turks have advanced their headquarters fve miles, The storming of a fortified mountain, over which the highway to Krashevatz runs, is still to be done. Reports from Djunis contradict tho statements made yesterday about the Oghting on Sunday. FINANCIAL, “The liability of the stock markets to fluctuate,” said yesterday's Financier in an editorial article, ‘is largely Increased through causes connected with the internal condition of the Stock Exchange. It is be- lieved that there are in that establishment an un- usually large number of members who are destitute of tho capital which is necessary for conducting business with safety to their lellow members with whom they geal Jt is a deticate subject, and one for the raising of which we shall probably receive but scanty thanks; but it would be very easy, and it is certainly desirable, to dovise means for improving the existing state of things, under which the market for the whole class of stocks may become disorganized and their prices be correspondingly prejudiced, through anxiety secretly felt respecting the stability of dealers who, almost de- void of capital, may have transactions open to the ex- tent of hundreds of thousands of pounds of stock.” THE INDIAN FAMINE. Tho prospects for the crops inthe Bombay Presi- dency, British India, become daily more gloomy. A Calcutta despatch states that the districts of Khandeisb, Nassick, Ahmeduggar, Poonab, Sholaporo, Kaladgi and Mharmar, containing a population of nearly 6,000,000, are threatened with severe distress. The Jocal government estimates that over 200,000 persons must be relieved in three districts alone, 1t 1s stated that the monsoon crops have entirely tailed, and the absence of rain prevents the sowing of tho rubbee and winter crops. The Collector of Poowah reports that not asingle blade of grass is visible for miles. Tho tanks and rivers are drying up, end cattle are dying {rom starvation, The collector ut Sholapore gives a still worse report. Relief works have been opened by the government, and is employing people in excavating tanks and making roads, The alarming telegrams from Europe of the last few days had the effect of further depressing government securities, which have been unusually low for six mouths past. Tea shares, however, are rising, owing to favorable accounts from the Assam and Cachar garden. This is a romarkably good year for tea, and the quantity exported will greatly exceed any former year. The Caloutta whoat trade has had a wonderful rise lately. In 1870 the quantity ex- ported wi 10,000 tons, and in 1874, 8,000; last year 60,000, and this year already 120,000 tons have been exported from Calcutta alone. This wheat {s grown chiefly in tho Punjab, TUK CORN TRADE. The Mark Lane Express, in its review of tho British corn trade for the past week says: come so sodden with recent rains that the great ficulty has been experienced in tbe autumn tillage, 1t is now most important that the sowing of winter wheat be no longer delayed. Tho effects of the past three weeks of wet weather bas been most disastrous tn the north, where the wretched condition of the outstanding crops bas been further deteriorated by heavy floods, which have submerged considerable tracts of land and done irreparable-damage. 1t 1s also much to be regretted that the damp atmosphore and higher temperatare have tended to generate blight in the potato crop, and the disease has not been confined to. Scotland, where rain done the most mischiof, but several districts in Eogland speak of its recent appearance. The rapid growth of root crops has ren- dered the prospect of abundant winter teed more bope- ful, although such excess of moisture can scarecly tend to improvo tho quality. The weighty authority of Mr. Laws confrms the opinion that Our probable requirement during the cereal year will bo 14,600 000 quarters, while the imports since September 1 have been at the rate of 8,000,000. On these dgures tho recent advance scems justified apart from political contingencies which bave beth quickened and sttin- ulated it. In the present disturbed condition of affairs it ts almost impossible to quote local trade with avy degree of accuracy. Sellors are not disposed to let wheat go except at an improvement of 2s 23, per quarter, but tor the moment buyers act with cunsid- erable caution. Tbero has been » limited anjount of business in floating cargoos during the week, owing to the scarcity of arrivals, and the sales indicato an improvement of 1s, a 2s. per quarter, whilo 1mportant transactions have tuken place in cargoes on passage and ior shipment at fuily this advance." ANOTHER GHASTLY RAILWAY MURDER. A @readiul murder in a railway compartment is Teported {rom Brussels, Such appailing crimes would not be possible in the American railway cars. Leonard Ambiam, a Belgian, who was arrested tn July last on board an outward bound steamer from Liverpool, ac- cused of robbery and the murder of M. Murant, a banker, and his housekeeper, at Civry, near Brassels, was delivered on Friday to a Belgian officer at Dover. Arriving at Ostend the officer and bis prisoner, the latter manacled, took a special cormpart- in the Brussels train, On she arrival the train at’ Brussels both were missing. The compartment they occupied was deluged with blood and bore marks of a terrific strnggie. ‘The body of the officer was found beside the track with the skull and face battered. All bis valuables were miss- ing. It 1s conjecturod that Amblam watcbed an oppor- tunity to attack the officer with his wrist-irons aod beat him to death; alter which he anlocked the m: aclos and escaped. He nas not yet been recaptured, RELIGIOUS TROUBLES IN SWITZERLAND.

M. Ristic and Prince Milan have had a serivus disa- greement. Tho foriner desired the armistice prolonged ; the latier would vot hear of it. Ristic tendered his resignation, but the I’rince declined to accept tt.— Neue Freie Presse, Vienna. Tho statement is distinctiy made that the Gorman government has given tts opinion in this capital thatit Prince Milan 18 overpowered by events it belleves that there will be « necessity for cutting short the acts of Tehernayef aud his army, without delay, by,a mili- tary intervention,—Holatische Correspondent, Vienna. During the attack of (se Bosnians at Kiiusch, on the 30th ult, under the command of Despovoviteh, 300 houses were burned, sixty Turks killed and 100 wounded, most of the latter being loft on the fleld. Fifty Bosnions were killed. Twenty brecch-loading cannon, soveral horses and other material was cap. wred by the tnsurgents, Tho fight lasted from eight A, M. to seven P.M. Signor Melegari, Italiav Minister for Foreign Affairs, thus defined Italy's position on tho Eastern question to the Slav committee which recently waited on him in Rome:— conduct of the governnont in the affairs of tho East is in complete accord with (ie avmpathies for tue slay popula- tions maniferted. in Rome and in other parts ur Luuy by popular assemblies, The goverumout, remembering the protection it owes to t ohne always tavor which fully gusrantes their rents aud inter gagement on the part ot the Porte not to the tions of race and relicion which oxist in Bolenrin, While the groat Powers are diplomatically struggiing We have on several occasions expressed a doubt a8 to whether, at a given moment, Germany would roally permit Ru to throw herself on Turkey. We ep- deavored to show what interest Germany would have im favoring ap increase of her northerm ne‘ghbor's power by allowing it todrive the Turks into Asia. Slavism is the well-definea antagonist of Germanism, and the triumph of one can only be accomplished to the detriment of the other. Europe is not sufictently large te contain two Powers of such great proportions, and one must perforce give way to the other. At the Present moment German‘sm has the upper band, thanks tothe political genius of Prince de Bismarck and the military talent of Marshal de Moltke. —Galig- nani’s Messenger. Why, if the Ottoman government desire peace, as they constantly aver, is not an armistice accepted? The submitted memorandum stated that soon as the mediating Powers shall have made known their Judgment to the Sublime Porte it shall order a sus- Pension of hostilities within forty-eight hours, amica- ble relations shalibe resumed and the two Princi- palities, profiting by the moderation of the sovereign power that all Europe shall have agreed to shall find themselves placed in their normal conditions.” Ah, indeed; bat how many times forty-eight hours have tbe Sultan and bis Ministers known of these con- ditions without heeding them? There {8 gross blun- dering at Constantinople, whfch the Turkish govern- ment may have occasion to regret.—Journal de St Petersbourg. Russia is anxious to make it understood that ber proposition has been put forward in no spirit of rivalry to the plans of England. She accepts those plans as a general basis of negotiations, and what she wishes to provide for is, she would have it understood, tho emergency which would arisd't they were to be finally rejected by Turkey. Wo refuse to believe that such o pass has yet been reached, for means may yet be found to induce the Porte to reconsider its decision, Nor would such an expedition as that proposed by Russia be the safest course even if the Porte were immovably detormined to resist the pacific counsels of the great Powers. But we must admit that by rejecting the moderate and pacific counsels of Lord Derby the Tur- Kish Sinisters nave not taken the best means of put- ting Russia out of court, —Times, Much complaint is beard among diplomatic officials that General Tchernayof! bas commenced his intrigues and declarea that be cannot consent to lay down arms until a kingdom of Servia has been .created, to include Bosnia ant old Sorvia, It is even said he will domand the abdication of Prince Milan m tavor of one of our grand dukes, ‘This schemo has not tho least chance of being adoptod by the Powers, It snould be understood that it the Omladina’ party cannot conform to the will of Europe it will be better that a neu. tral Power temporarily occupy Servia.

T., relative to the removal of Red Cloud's band to a point twenty- five miles distant from the ageovy, and their refusal to accept rations on the terms exncted of giving up their arms and horses, He is, however, inclined to believe there is some trath to the report, for the reason that Red Cioud’s people have for a long tUme oxprossed great dissatisfaction at the presence of troops among them, There aro about 6,000 Indians, gece mon, women and cbildren, at the ageuoy, aud rations are is: sued weekly.

Determination to Leave the Bayonets Alone. - Cotemnra, 8. 0., Oct. 23, 1876. Nearly all tho troops ordered here tor duty during the pending canvass, State and natioval, aud unti) the eldetion ts decided, have arrived The lobbies, balls and saloons of the Wheeler House, at whieh the head- quarters of the Department of the South are estab- ltshod, baye beon a scene of great bustle and military display with arriving and departing officers, aids and orderlies allday. To-night the commander of the de- partment and tho staff were serounded by the post band of the Eighteonth infantry, and at tho concjusion the officers generally repaired to quarters, or dispersed fur amusements. There Are now thirty-seven com- panies of intantry and artillery in the State, averag- Ing say forty-five men te the company, including the now levy of recruits which would make ovor 1,600 men in the State; one company tor cach county, thero being thirty-two counties, The Commanding General is, like all military officers, reticent as to the disposition and assignment of the various commands, but 80 far as the programme has been developed, the bulk of the troops are being massed in those counties in the upper portion of the State which have, owing to the dissav- istaction among negroes, been recentiy considered sure for Hampton, It ts not contemplated to send troops to every county, as several of them are democratic be yond doubt, and in those the presence of troops would have no political effect. ASSIGNMENT OF THE TROOPS. A number, therelore, will be held here, subject to marching orders in the event of trouble in any section of the State. There were nineteen companies already in the Stato before the President issued hig proclamation, and twenty-two bave arrived since, Nine of these have since been assigned to counties. There will leave to- morrow for Aiken, Barowell and Edgefield, which will leave ten companies still here, The indications to-day aro moro convincing that the presence of tho troops will result tn undoing tho distotegration effected among the negroes by tho whites, and causo a consolidation of that vote for the republican candidates, as heretofore, The democrats have strong hopes, however, notwithstanding the pomp, display and power of the troops, which so impresses the nogroes to carry the State for Hampton by a decisive majority, ifa fair count and fair election is allowed by Chamberlain and his candidates, who constitute the Commissioners of Election and State Board of Canvassers.
