finds them, to his amazement, no whit | eminent, respectable and trustworthy. If he believes both he will have no recourse except to vote early and often for Mr. Peter Cooper; for nobody has yet accused him of a design upon our liberties; but, after all, we suspect the independent voter will not pay much attention to these appeals. He will prefer to take the advice of his organ, the Heratp, and on Tuesday morning early go to the polls and deposit his vote for the best man. The Weather. As predicted by the Hznatp the great fain arca which accompanies that of low barometer from the lake to the mouth of the St. Lawrence has barely touched New York in passing and gave us only a light shower or two. The mountains played their important part in deflecting the storm centre and forcing it to take a north- easterly course. We have, therefore, bene- fited nothing with regard to our water supply from’ the great rain area. This is so often the case that we hopo the Croton Board will come at last to recognize the value of a meteorologically good location for a watershed, a merit which our present one docs not possess. Follow- ing in the track of the storm a low tem- perature prevails which has caused a snow- fall at Pembina and Fort Garry. The dura- tion of the cold winds at New York will, however, be short, and they will be consider- ably modified by the movement of a high pressure through the Southern States, Another depression is presenting itself in the northwest which by Monday next may extend its influence to New York. Tho weather in this city to-day will be cooler and partly cloudy.

The corre- spondence between Mr. Hewitt, Chairman of the National Committee, and Colonel Michael C.

CABLE NEWS From All Parts of the Old World. THE EASTERN QUESTION. Russia To Demand the Withdrawal of the Turks from Servia. THE CRISIS RIPENING Rumored Intention of the Czar To Abdicate, FRENCH NEUTRALITY. Republican Victory in the French Chambers. TRADE IN ENGLAND. Lonvon, Nov. 3, 1876, ‘The feeling that Russia ts determined to force on a war ts daily gaining ground here, and people who had begun to console themselves with the hope that the dreaded struggle had been postponed, ut least for the winter, are losing heart again and making up thetr minds that the worst is to come. It is noted by well informed people that Russia’s de- mands become more exorbitant at every stage of the negotiations, As soon as the Porte yields-one point another and a still more humiliating condition 1s laid down, and thus the conviction gradually forces itself upon the public mind that the time will soon come when such condittons will be proposed as the Parte must peremptorily reject. Then the solution of the Eastern question will naturally be left to the sword, and the Turk mnst fight for existence. THE TURKS ASKED TO WITHDRAW FROM SERVIA. This evening comes the startling rumor that Rus- sia will demand the withdrawal of the Turkish troops from Servia, and if this should prove true there can be little donbt that war ts inevitable. ‘This demand is evidently intended to precipitate a conflict, for no one can imagine that Turkey will comply with it. Compliance would mean revolution and massacre from end to end of the Turkish Em- pire, which would serve as a pretext for marching a Russian army into Turkey ; so that the mevitahle war may as well be facéd now while the Ottoman troops are flushed with their victories over the Servians and while the mass of the people give a vigorous support to the government at Constan- tinople. RUSSIAN POPULAR ARDOR FOR WAR. ‘This action of Russia is sald to be attributable to the fact that the government of the Czar has found it mecessary to yield to the general sentiment of the Russian people for war, which has become so intense that the authorities can no longer restrain it. WILL THE CZAR ABDICATE? ‘The impression that the Czar intends to abdicate is once more gaining ground, andif this event should take place it would be looked upon as a sure forecast of war. The Czarewitch is known to be the leader of the war party, and it is generally be lieved that one of his first acts after ascending the throne would be to draw the sword and prcclaim a crusade against the Moslem. THE CRISIS RIPENING. The crisis is considered to be fast mpening, and stirring events are looked for in the near future. THE CONSULAR COMMISSION DISSOLVED. A telegram from Ragusa states that in consequence of the conclusion of the armistice the Consular Com- mission at Mostar for the pacification of the insurgent provinces has been dissolved.

FRANCES BASTERN POLICY. A despatch from Parts says that in the Chamber of Deputios to-day the Duke Decazes, Minister of Foreign Affairs, made a statement in regard to the policy of | the French government in the Ea: He dwelt princi- pally on the country’s need of peace, and concluded as tollows:—‘‘If, contrary to the expectations of the gov- | ermment, complications should arise, we shall never ask you to compromise the honor and safety of France in a struggle which does not involvo her essential in- terests, ‘Thus, having used our best endeavors to | maintain the peace of Europe, we shall, at least, be sure of being able to maintain it for ourselves.” TUL FRENCH MINISTRY DEFEATED. M. Gatineau’s bill for the cessatiun of the prosecu- tionsagainst ‘he Communists was introduced in the Chamber of Deputies yesterday by M. Lisbonne. After adebate, during which M. Dufaure opposed and M. Gambetta supported the measure, the House, by an overwhelming majority, decided to proceed to debate on toe clauses of the bill, The Standard's correspond- ent remarks that this defeat of M. Dufaure ought to show the government the necessity of doing some- thing in the matter THE QUESTION OF AMNESTY, On Juno 28 President MacMahon, yielding tothe Cabinet's desire to quiet agitation on this subject, published a letter in the Journal Offciel ordering that ‘no more prosecutions be instituted except in comuma- ciam or upoa the initiative of tne Cabinet, This was meant to be a compensation to the Extreme Left for the rejection of a general amnesty. Gatineau’s proposition would permit all eelt-oxilea Communist leaders to retarn to France in safety. The Cabinet has determined not to accept any larger measure of atnnesty than that conceded in tho Presi- dent’s letter, leaving individual cases subject to Execative clemoncy. WILL THR CABINET RESIGN? If the Cabinet now accepts the passage of Gatineau’s motion by the lower house, even though e in of its defeat in the Senate, it joins inan aggressive and dis- trustfal vote against Presideat MacMahon.

A leading grain circular says>—*With continued fine weather favoring the labors of husbandry the British grain markets are still scantily supplied with wheat, the valuo of which remains unaltered. Foreign trade fe ut the same time more steady alter the recent slight depression, and activity has been partially resumed, It is now understood that, an armistico having been agreed upon by Turkey and Sorvia, tbe infuence of war anticipations will not have the offect, as of late, of ax- Citing speculation; but, aa stock-taking at the close of the month shows that the short supplies coming sines | September 1 have resulted in a materiai reduction in the quantitica in granary, there appears a fair element for steadiness at current rates, At Liverpool we have 204,000 quarters less in store now thau on August 31, and oar local consumption, with outgoings to the 1n- terior and elsewhere, makes an average in the interval of 70,000 quarters per weok.

THE PRIZE RING MUBDER SENTENCE PASSED UPON THE CONVICTED PAB- TICIPANTS—-WEEDEN, COLLYZB AND GOOD- WIN SENT TO STATE PRISON YOR SIX YEARS BACH; CLARK AND NEALY TWO YEARS. Sate, N. J., Nov. 3, 1876 ‘The speed with which the jury in tho case ot Weeden, Collyer, Goodwin, Neary and Ciark, tried for the fatal prize fight, arrived at a verdict yesterday alternoop was a matter of surprise to all concerned in the case, At yeast two of the jury were known to have favored the acquittal of Neary and Clark, on the ground that they had been punished enough, and it was thought that they would “hang”? the jury. They subsequently agreed to a verdict of conviction on the under- standing that the jury join in an ap- plication to tho Court of Pardons in behalf of Clark and Neary after a few months shal! have expired. At ten o'clock this morning Mr. Henry L. Hope came into court and made au application be- fore Judge Reed for « new tr.al in tho casos of Clark and Neary, on tho ground that the verdict of man- slaughter was against the woiglit of the evidence, the two named prisoners being merely innocent specta- tors, The Court refused to grant the application. Altor the consideration of several minor cases beforo the Court Mr, Hope asked that before sentence was passea upon Neary and Clark he should be heard iu a plea for mitigation. ‘Lhe Court assented and thereupon ordered that all the prisoners be brought into court. This was done. Themen looked much dejected. The mother and sisters of Weeden were present, and the wile of Clark, and, at sight of their relatives, burst into tears, ig 10 say BEFORE SENTENCE WAS PASSED. Tho counsei replied that he had, and proceeded to plead for Neary and Clark, on the ground that they were not principals nor seconds in the fight, but merely spectators, and they bad left the ground when warned to do so by the Sheriff, Alter a short delay Judge Reed ordered the prisoners to stand up. Addressing Weeden, Collyer and Good- win, he said that they nad been found guilty of coming from a foreign State and engaging in a brutal tigbti— acrime agaist the laws of the State, They had wil- fully participated tn this crime and a moro dreadiul one had been the result, that of murder; they bad, therefore, been guilty not only of a misdemeanor, but of the highost crime known to the jaw. It was im- perative upon the Court ‘to seo that an example be made of the prisoners before him, and he accordingly felt it hig duty to sentence Weeden, Coil- yer and Goodwin to SIX YEARS in the State Penitentiary, at hard labor. ‘Tarning to Clark aud Neary, tho Court recited again tho circumstances under which they had cote into the State. fhere wero, however, mitigating circum. stances, they having departed when the Shoriff desired them to, He sentenced them to ‘TWO YEARS, at hard labor. The prisoners wero then removed to jail. The Sheriff will take them to the State Prison at Trenton immediately. As stated above, an application for the pardon of Clark and Neary will Ye made in a fow months.

A company numbering fifty, rank and Me, has been seat to Cheraw, Darlington county, and anothor with only twelve men, all told, leit today for Sumter county. Both of the are heavy negro counties, which the democrats expect to carry. But it sheuld also be remarked that the negro militia have recently been parading in Darlington county with loaded muskets. Im view of ths latter circumstance General Rager deserves the gratitude of the citizons in sending the troops there.

What Governor Chamberlain then thought of the Jadge on whom he now relies solely for support, ts expressed in an interview he had with a reporter at the time in which he said :— 1 regard tho election of these mon as a horrible dis- aster, While Sir.

Nows has just been received of a most heinous crime in Aiken county, Two Germans trom the North named Rudolph Hausm: ana Fritz Porthm: who bad sottied in Aiken about seven years ago, mur- dered last night and their house burned, together with their dead bodies. THE vicriNs, These men came to Aiken for their health; they purchased iand, built a mill and made vaiuable im- provements, Hausman was about sixty years old, and Porthman, bis nephew, about twenty-five years old Neither of them ever took any promiuent part in poli- tick, Both of thotn lived in a one story dwelling about seven miles from tho village of Aiken. THE DISCOVERY. A white man employed in their mili was their near- | est neighbor. He lived about 300 yards from their dweiling, aod when he started to bis work this moro- ‘ng he found the house burned to the ground, and the charred bodies of the two victims lying in the ruins mcar the door, An axe was also found near the bodies and the skulls of both men were fractured. They must have been killed while asleep, and the evidence points very clearly to the fact that the deed was done by ne- groes living near by. PROPERTY FOUND. A quantity of the property of the murdered men was found Inthe negro settlement in the ceighborhood, Among tho goods recovered was a Schiitzen uniform, a shotgun and several valuables, A search of the nogro bonuses resulted in the recovery ofsome of the property ofthe Baptist church recently burned in Aiken, and from one to three State rifles in each house, 4 SUSPECTED NEGRO. Adam Jobnsoh, a negro, in whose house most of the stolen property was found, isan escaped negro con- vic, A warrant bas been issued for his arrest. There is no doubt but that both these Germans were mur- dered and the honse fired by negro incendiaries, of whom there is an organized band, emboldened by the presence of federal troops, The white comimanity of Aiken are in a state of intense excitement, and if the murderers are arrested it is feared that they will be lynched in spite of the presence of the soldiers, MOKE INCENDIARISM. In the last three days several cotton houses havo been fired in different counties of the State, and on Wednesday night a deliberate attempt was made to set fire to the Lown of Darlington, Whittemore, who was expelled from Congress for selling a West Point cadet- ship, ts supposed to have been the instigator of the last mentioned attempt. FREVAKING BOGUS OUTRAGES, There are reasonable grounds for believing that Pat- terson and Chamberlain have concocted a plot to tele- graph on Monday manufactured accounts of hypothot+ cal collisions between the blacks and whites ‘on various portions of the State, Their object_is to help the re- publican party in the North and Weit by sending these vogue despatches, depending upon the excited state of the public mind in the North and West and upon the hope that it will be too late to contradict these reports m time to counteract the effeet intended to be pro duced. These telegrams will be sent to the leading papers North and West, 4 CONDITION OF PEACE.

Everything was quict here until several of the mogroes {rom this section went to the Republican Convention in Walterboro; and this last strike is for mo other purpose than to prevont the whites from influencing the blacks to vote the democratic tieket. Several of our men bave been conver: and declare their tntentwn to vote for Hampton, and every effort has been made by Shafer’s iriends to intimidate them. They have even gone so far as to say that if they vote the demo- cratic ticket they sball not get home alive. We could procure a good many votes for the reform ticket were it not for this intimidation—any how we will have some. It ts very much to be hoped that the election will change the condition of affairs in this section, but it Chamberlain is elected I am atraid things will bein a Dad way fora while. The strikers will then think they have a free license to do oa they please. 1 would have written to you vestorday, but concluded to wait to seo if 1 could ges my contract goto work, They.say they are willing, but aro afraid of tho strikers. Shafer tolis them the only way to carry the election is to keep up a stir with the whites until she polls are closed on Tuesday.

JUDGE WIGGIN’S OPINION OF AFFAIRS IN THAT STATE. The following despatch was received late last even- ing at the Republican National Committee rooms :. Cotumata, Nov. 8, 1876. Hon. Z. Cnaxpixa, Chairman of Republican National Committee:—The following statement has becn re- ceived bere to-day:—Judge Wiggin is the presiding judge of the circuit which embraces the counties ot ‘Aiken and Baraowell, especially include&in my procla- mation and that of the President of the United states, Judge Wiggin has just visited the actual scenes of the domestic violence and insurrection, and speaks from personal observations and examination, AIkky, 8. C., Nov. 3, 1876. Govornor D. H. CHAMBERLAIN :— Dear Sin—Your communication requesting an ex- pression of my views with regard to your proclumation is just received. In my judgment the condition of irs in certain portions of Aiken and Barnwell counties demanded just such action as Your Excellency bas taken, Domestic violence, instituted doubtless from political motives, certainly prevailed in those counties, and toan extent boyoud the control of the civil authorities, and I have no doubt that the station- Ing of troops there has prevented the killing of ban- dreds of unarmed and inoffensive colored citizens. Very respecitully, . L. WIGGIN, Judge Secoad Judicial Circuit Court. I present this testimony to the country as that of the only Judge of this Stave who bas any knowled, personal or ollicial, of facts stated by me in jastit ton of my recent action. D. H.
