CABLE NEWS From All Parts of the Old World. THE EASTERN PROBLE) A Two Months’ Armistice Agreed Upon. RUSSIA'S ATTITUDE. Seeking To Exclude Turkey from the Final Settlement, FRANCE TO REMAIN NEUTRAL. An American Ship in Collision at Sea. — Loxpon, Nov, 2, 1876. The friends of peace were this morning elated by the news that the Porte had formally accepted the proposed armistice, subject to the condition that Servia also should accept it, and then came the glad tidings that Servia had agreed and that the armistice was actually signed yesterday. So eager ‘was Servia for a cessation of hostilities that we are told that General Tchernayeff was instructed to send a fag of truce to Abdal Kerim, the Turkish Commander in Chict, to inquire whether he had Deen ndtified of the conclusion of an armistice. NEW COMPLICATIONS. But no sooner had the public mind begun to settle down to the hope of evenatemporary peace than disquieting ramors again commenced to circulate and people begin onee more to fear that a great Eu- ropean war is at hand. A special despatch from Constantinople to-day announces that Russia’s ulti- matum exacted merely a two months’ armistice, without conditions. This, at first, looked moderate and peaceful, and Turkcy’s formal acceptance of it seemed to settle the matter, but now the question of a conference for a final settiement of the difficulty again looms up, and with it the dread spectre of a Gigantic war. WAR PROBABLE. . Russia wants to exclude Turkey from the confer- ence, and it is thought that if she should succeed in doing so war is almost sure to follow as a necessary consequence. Russia intends to propose that the revenue of the revolted provinces shall be deposited in the Ottoman Bank to pay the interest of the Turkish debt, a proposition which the Porte will hardly accede to, except compelled by force, and thus the question becomes once more so compll- cated that it is hard to see how a general war can be averted. GERMAN SYMPATHY FOR RUSSTA. The most significant rumor of all is that Germany is to protect Russian subjects in Turkish territory in the event of war beingwleclared. A SIGNIFICANT SPEECH. From Bucharest comes the intelligence that an extraordinary session of the Roumanian Chambers ‘was held to-day. Prince Charies, in his inaugural speech, referred to the present crisis, and said that the guaranteeing Powers will defend territorial in- tegrity and national right, but that the dificulties of the situation are enormous and much depends on anion and patriotism. THE ARMISTICE SIGNED. The Glode this afternoon says it is understood that the forcign office has received a formal notification of the signing of the armistice yesterday. The news is also confirmed by a despatch from St. Petersburg, which says. ‘‘a telegram received here from General Ignatieff announces that the Porte bas accepted a two months’ armistice, beginning November 1, and has prdered the immediate cessation of hostilities.” ‘A Belgrade despatch says it is officially announced that both armies will retain the positions they now hola. FRANCE NEUTRAL, It is berdiy probable that anything short of Ger- many being inoxtricably involved in a European strug- gle would induce France to swerve from her present peacefal policy, but the Duc Decazes seems to think it necessary to make a formal announcement of the fact. A despatch from Paris says he has declared officially before the Budget Commitee that the government in- fends to maintain absoluto noutrality in the event of complications in the East. RUSSIA PRESSING POR A SETTLEMENT. Tho following oMficial statement appears in the Morning Post:—*‘Turkey having accepted the armistice, wo understand Russin bas taken immediate stops to press forward negotiations for tho arrangement of all pending questions on the basis of the English pro. posals," THE BULGARIAN MASSACRE. The Post also states that official investigation shows that only 3,100 persons were killed by the Tarks in Bulgaria, A CONFERENCE TO ASSEMBLE. The Intest despatches from Constantinople say that acoptorence well assemble shortly, and the news is covfirmed from Paris. It is added thata representa- tive of the Porte will bo admitted to it by some such compromise as that described by the Lonaon Post, ot Detober 31, according to woich the six Powers will feliberate on the reforms, and the Turkish representa- tive will only take a seat when the results are to bo declared. COLLISION AT SRA. A despatch from Lisbon says the United States frigate Vandalia coilided with the Norwegian bark At- lantic. The latter’s bows were atove in by the col- sion, The Vandalia was uninjured, and towed the Atlantic to that port. cunA, A battalion of troops, 1,000 strong, arrived in Ha- vana from Spain yesterday. Acable despatch from Barcelona, Spain, to Captain Goneral Jovellar announces the establishment there of a colonial bank which promises all the necessary finan- clal resources for suppressing the insurrection.

CANAL COLLISION LITIGATION, Anuar, N, ¥., Nov. 2, 1876, The case of Jobn G. White et al, vs. the Swiltsure fransportation Company, which was commenced in the Circuit Court yesterday, is of considerable import- ance and interest, Tho facts alleged show that the plaintrfls were owners of the canal boat Theodore Ir- win, which,on the 3d day of July, 1874, was loaded with a cargo of barley malt consigned to the firm of John G White & Co, of Philadelphia, Tho fefondants were the owners of the pro- peller Anthracite, and on the day above men- Woned, as the plaintifl’s charge, wrongtolly, carolessly Bnd negligently ran sald propeller against the canal boat at or noar Bound Brook, causing tno canal boat to sink, destroying a large portion of the barley malt and damaging the canal boat.

THE CASE OF WEEDEN AND HIS ASSOCIATES — THE SUMMING UP AND THR JUDGE'S CHARGE—A VERDICT OF MANSLAUGHTER AGAINST ALL THE PRISONERS. Sauem, Nov. 2, 1876. The summing up in the case of Weeden, Clark, Neary, Collyer and Goodwin, indicted for complicity in the Pennsville prize fight, which resulted in the death of young Walker, began here this morning. By a mutual arrangement between tho District Attorney and 0s lawyers each was to speak a half bour, The first speech forthe defence was made by John H. Fost, Esq., one of the counsel for Weeden, He said that the prisoners labored under . Sreat disadvantages in not being able to procure tho attendance of witnesses, as, under the laws of New Jersey, all epectators of a prizo fight are liable to ar- Fest, and many who could give important testimony for the defence had been afraid to come to Salem. J. K. F. Hewitt addressed the jury in bebalt of Sam Collyer, and Colonel Caleb Valentine in the interest of Johnny Clark. He claimed that his cliont had not been implicated, except as an idle spectator of tho fight and had gone away when ordered by the Sheriff. Henry L. Hope, of counsel for Fiddler Neary, claimed a similar defence, Colonel James M. Scovel, of Camden, made the clos- ing address for the prisoners, especially in behalf of Weeden, Hisargument was that Walker died from exposure and negiect after the fight and not ‘rom the beating, and that there had been no imtention on tho part of Weeden to injure his opponent maliciously. The only crime that had been committed was an honest, stand up prize fight. Tomake acase of murder, he claimed, the act and the intention must go together. There must be malice. “Malice is extreme enmity of beart, a malevolence, unprovoked malignity or spite,” according to Web: ster’s Dictionary. The evidence would show that the fight was sought from the other side. He dismissed the idea of murder in the second degree aa unworthy of thought. Even as to mansiaughter, the evidence did Bot show that the blows given by Weeden caused death, If it was manslaughter at alt it must be Involuitary: manslaughter. He claimed that the medical testimony had cast a doubt upon the manner of Waiker’s death, and that instead of having been caused by the blows from Weeden’s hands, that it was probably from tatty degeneration of the heart and exposure und neglect. This doubt he asked tho jury to give to the prisoners. District attorney Albert H. Slape, in summing up for the prosecution, asked for a verdict of murder in the second degree against three of the prisoners— Weedon, Collyer and Goodwin, Against Clark and Neery he claimed tbat manslaughter had been proven, THE JUDGE'S CHARGE. At twelve o'clock Judge Reed began the delivery of his charge to the jury suostantially as follows :— The questions betore the jury were—tirst, did death legally result trom the injury in. the ring, or partly by exposure and the disease of the heart, which the plysi- cian had testified to. If Waiker died trom the injuries it does not matter that he did not die on the ground. Tho second question wasas tv the relative guilt of the prisoncre. feeden was not guilty of murder in tho tirst degr it was either murder tn the second degree or manslaughter. His guilt of murder in the second degree depended upon the kind and degree of injury in- tended by Weeden to be inflicted upon bs adversary. The rule was that if a person intending to inilict'a grievious bodily injury, but not to kill actually, docs Kill, he is guilty of murder at common law, and, under the Now Jersey statate, of murder in the second degree. Grievous injury me such hart as will likely result in permanent and dangerous injury to health. d been, the Judge said, very littie previous Opinion ng to the degree of homicide resulting from a death in the manner of Walker's. Justice Bagley suid in one case that woere persons fight on fair terms und merely with tists, where lifo is not likely to be at haz- ard, and the blows passing between them are not likely to cause death, if death ensues, it ix manslaughter, tice Buller, in another use, yd that “fighting op and down’? was calculated to produce deatn, and the rise of the fot a8 & weapon was likely to produce death. If it had been so used in this case it was murder, not man- slaughter, These were questions for the jury to de- cide from the evidencé. They must consider the cir- cumstances of the combat, the manner in which it was conducted, the absence of the use of the feet, the intor- mission between the rounds, the previous physi- cal training for@the fight, and what ellect this Jast bad upon the dangers to life. On the other baod, they mast consider tho object of the battle, which obviousiy was to reduce one of the party to such physienl exhanstion us to render im unable to continue the battle. The jury must de- termine whether there was a purpose to do the de- ceased grievous bodily injury or injary that would ro- sult in death, If the evidence bad convinced them that there was sach a purpose, beyond reasonable doubt, their verdict must be murder m the second degree. It they had a rearon- able dowbtot this purpose to do grievous vodily harm their verdict must be manslaughter. The Judge dismissed the question as to whether or not Walker consented to the Oght by saying that it had nothing to do with the guilt of the prisoners. That also dis- the question of lice, Tho legal ot malice was a genera: wicked intent, & specific design pst the life of the par- ticular individual, The responsibility tor the deed was: ited to the person striking. All who were 8. If the jury besteved tho evidence that Collyer was the sooond to Walker and that Good- win aided Weeden in the same capaoity this aid and ce fixed their responsibility in the same degree principals, the otber two parties, lence did not show that as the Neary and Ciark, the either Neary or Clark were inside the ring; but they wore outside the ropes in the crowd during the pro ross of the fight, according 10 the testimony, and this fact, with the ev:dence that they were there of their own accord, jc them guilty of manslaughter, But the jury must remember that they must be convinced that these two were present aiding, consenting and isting in the fight. A casual spectator whe hap- pened on the ground ought not to be considered guilty, as ono who purchased a ticket or w: sign. edly present would be, & person is considered by the law to be encouraging the fight. The only question before tuo jury as far as Clark and Neary were concerned was whether or not they were present with the intention of encouraging ur sanction- ing the fight, The doctrine has been announced by an English judge ery person present ata fight in Which death results is guilty of manslaughter Judge Reed thought the doctrine was alittle tov broadly stated however, Ii aman were present giving encouragement to the fight he would come within the rule alluded to. It he went with the crowd or with some of the par- ticipants, or purchased a ticket or stooa by cheering or beting, or remained to gratify bis taste, he was con- sidered by the law us aiding and encouraging the fight. But a spectator might be there casually or for the pur- pose of seeing who the participants were, or for the sake of justice. such spectators ought not to be con- sidered ‘criminal, The Judge conctuded by charging the jury to give the prisoners the benefit of every rea- sonable doubt. The jury retired about half-past twelve, and after a lengthy absence returned with @ verdict of manslaugh- tor against all the prisovers. SAD SEQUEL OF A PARADE. Bixcuaxrox, N. ¥., Nov. 2, 1876.

The immense democratic mass meeting here to- night, presided over by Mayor Crevelling, was a dressed by Hon. Richard T. Merritt, of Wasbingtor D. G, and ex-Senator John P. Stockton, aad un- bounded enthusiasm was manifested throughout, MR, MERRITT'S SPRECH, Mr. Merritt, in atwo hours’ speech, condemned, in ‘anmeasored terms, Grant's South Carolina proclam tion, the republican policy toward the Sonth and the extravagance of the administration. Iho President's yn, he said, was a usurpation of power to perpetuate a dominion that ought long since to have ended. The invasion of South Carolina by a federal army was not for the preservation of peace, but to sub- stitute bayonets for bullots and trample on the rights of citizens. He called the republican party A METAMORPHOSKD THING that should be cast out forever. 1t had been an angel of light, bat was now an angel of darkness. Those who loved it must now try to crush it out of existence. He cnarged President Grant with having, under the advice of Its radical advisers, usurped pewer that did not be- long to him, violated his o«th of office and trampled on the rights of citizens. The war is over, ne said, and the hatreds it had engendered should die with 1. Its purpose achieved, we sbould pardon tho vanquished enemy; if not, our hearts are cowardly and our minds are buse. BUSINESS DEPRESSION. He attributed the present business depression to the rule of the radical party, and said the revenue col- jected for the last ten years was twice as much ae the national debt, and only $500,000,000 of debt was paid off. One quarter of the rovenue was lost belore it got mto the Treasury. One thousand millens was lost, strayed or stolen, probably the latter. He overhauled the expenditure ot the Navy aud Indinn departwnents, and said 1t had been reckless in the extreme. He de- nounced Rptoed and Chandler aod said Hayes was the tool of Grant, and eulogized Tilden as an hon- it, able, patriotic statesman. Hayes, he declared, cannot reiorm his party if he would and would not if he could, He predicted Tilden’s overwhelming elcc- tion amid loud applause, ‘His speech was undoubtedly ono of the ablest of the cainpaign.

These facts aro notorious and alarming, and are the natural and inevitable results of conspicuous adminis. trative incapacity at Washington and of official vor- Tuption throughout the land. ‘A change in the character of the men and the policy of the federal administration is an imperative public necessity, Totolerate the follies and the crimes of the republican officials by deliberately prolonging thoir power is to make ourselves parties to their guilt. In obedience to the dictates of a great national ne- cessity the democratic party has pominated for the Presidency ono whose name is identified by memora- ble triumphs with all those measures of administrative reform tor the want of which the country is now in distress, His long public career has been a continued illustration of economy in the public expenditare, a jealous care of the national | credit, a courage ever ready to defy the giant of cor- Tuption in his strongholds, the widest experience ta public affairs and an unequallea command of the re- { statesmansbip. His signal sueceas in puri- government of New York city; his able and upon the Canal Ring of State ond its contederates; his reduction of our State taxes about oue-halt in Jess than two years, and bis own unsullicd personal character, satisfy us that bo 18 pre-emtuently the man for our Chief Magistrate in the present crisix of the country, and we therefore recommend to your cordial and zeulous support at the approaching elec: tion the electoral ticket representing Samuel J.

GERMAN COUNTY CONVENTION, SMITH ELY, JR., FOR MAYOR AND MB. PEABODY FOR SURROGATR—A FREE TICKET. Tho County Convention of the Independent German Association was held last evening. For some time past this organization has been undecided as to what course it would be best to pursue. A committee was appointed to confer and make proper nominations, and the resalt of their labor was presented last cvening in the shape of a full county ticket, with the exception of Aldermen. The committee were continued, with power to add two Aldermanic nominees to the ticket. The Convention was called to order at balf-past eight, and after the usual preliminaries Coroner Moritz Ellinger presented the report of the conference com. mittee. In making the report Mr. Eliinger said that after mature deliberation the commitice had made a ucket which he thought was the best for the organiza- tion, After the names on the ticket had been read, it was evident that they would not be adopted mously, The report was received, but a motion to it as a whole was defeated. It was then moved and carried that the names on the ticket be considered singly. The nominee for Mayor, .Mr. Ely, first secured considerable debate, several delegates ex- pressing themselves as decidedly opposed to an in- dorsement of Tammany Hal. Finally Mr. Ely was nominated, with one vote in the negative. Major name for Sheriff was opposed by severai, but y supported by Justice Witerpourg and others, and was finaily adopted, with « small dissenting vote. On the County Clerk there was no debate, and the adoption was unanimous. Tho fight of the evening was on the Surrogate, Fully an hour and a bulf was spent in comparing Charles H. Poabody with Dei: ©. Calvin, and some rather lively speakin; indulged iu on both sides. After a long debat Peabody was declared the nominee, there being about twenty votes against him. A commitico wis here to wait on Major Sauer and escort bim to the made a short speech of thanks, which was heartily applauded. The remainder of the nominations were adopted unanimously and without debate. The following is tho ticket :— Mayor—Smith Ely, Jr. ‘Sherigf—George W. Sauer. County Clerk—Henry A. Gambleton, Surrogate—Charles A. Peabody. Superior Court—John J. Freedmau, Marine Court—James P. Sinnets, Coroners—Wiltiam H. Stiner, Louis Naumann and Rienard Flanagan. DAVID A. WELLS IN THE CANVASS.
