TELEGRAPHIC NEWS From All Parts of the World. THE EASTERN MISUNDERSTANDING Dissimulation or Surprising Frankness on the Part of the Czar. “DON'T WANT CONSTANTINOPLE.” The Fears of Ensland Regarding India Worse Than Foolish. THE CONFERENCE NOW ———_- — POSSIBLE. [DY CABLE TO THE HERALD.] Lopox, Nov. 21, 1876. The journais of this morning contain a genuine sensation in the shape of the Czar’s declaration to Lord Loftus. The unequivocal repudiation of what has for so many years, and, despite all denials by Russian newspapers and statesmen, been regarded as Russia’s policy in the East is suficiently surprising to startle everybody. Either the Czar means what he says—which, I opine, few will be ready to admit—or he is dissembling to gain time and to prepare fora war which shall exceed even the gigantic proportions which it was ex- pected to take. If the Czar is sin- cere the Conference is a nality many will fancy they detect doubt in Lord Derby's answer to Lord Loftus, This correspondence will be the Bole theme of to-day’s‘ discussion, end it will be presented below. Meanwhile, many other items of news relating to this question drift in upon the Eastern tide. The government of Belguim bas received a communication from the Belgian Consul at Malta announcing that the Malta | authorities had informed the Chamber of Commerce that torpedoes had been placed at the approaches to the ports of Odessa, Kertch, Sebastapol and Eschakoff. Prince Bismarck arrived in Berlin yes- terday and met Lord Salisbury last evening, The Political Correspondence of Vienna announces that the Austrian and Hungarian governments have re- solved to prohibit the exportation of horses, THE CZAR'S EXPLANATION. The British Foreign Office publishes a despatch in which Lord Loftus, the British Ambassador to Rus- sla, reports in detail what passed at an audience he had with the Czar on November 2. He reports that the Czar said he had sent the ultimatum to the Porte because he feared the discomfiture of the Servian Army might be tollowed by atrocities. The Porte had by a series of manceuvres frustrated ali attempts at pacification. The present state of things was intolerable. Unless Europe was prepared to act firmly and ener- getically he would be obliged to act sione. He regretted to see that inveterate sus- picion and continual fear of Russian aggression still existed in England. The Czar reminded Lord Loftus that he had on several occasions given most solemn assurances that he desired no conquest. He had not the smallest wish or intention to ac- quiré Constantinople. Such an acquisition would be a snisfortune for Russia. “DON'T WANT CONSTANTINOPI: The following are the exact words of that portion of the despatch referring to Constantinople:—“The Czar pledged his sacred word of honor in the most earnest and solemn manner that he had no inten- tion of acquiring Constantinople, and that lt necessity should force him to occupy ao portion of Bulgaria it would only be provisionally until the peace and satiety of the Christian population was secure.!. The Czar could not under- stand when both countries had a common object, namely, the amelioration of the condition of the Christians, and when he had given every proot that he had no desire for conquest, why there should not be perfect fnderstanding between England and Russia based on a policy of peace, which would be equally beneficial to their mutual interests and to tne interests of Europe generally. The Czar said. nothing could be more absurd than the intentions attributed tu Russia of the future conquest of India, which was a perfect impossibility. He deeply de- plored the distrust manifested in England, ear- nestly requested me todo the utmost to dispel it, and charged me to convey to Her Majesty's govern- ment the solemn assurances he had given me.” PLEADS GUILTY TO THE TROOPS, The despatch also states that in regard to the rumors that Servia and Roumania demanded that they should be erected into independent kingdoms, the Czar said that there was no intention of estab- lishing any such kingdoms, and such a course would be folly. The Czar further explained that he had permitted officers to go toServia, provided they lett the Russian service, in the hope of calming the agi- tation in Russia. “The toregoing despatch was verified by Prince Gortschakoff before its transmission to Lord Derby and approved as correctly representing the views expressed by the Czar. JOLLY ENOUGH FOR A JOKE, Lord Derby replied, instructing Lord Loftus to in- form the Ozar and Prince Gortschakoff that the Queen ond her government received the Czar’s assurances with the greatest satisfaction. The Russian government having requested the publica- tion of this correspondence, as it contained assur- ances of a nature to tranquillize public fecliug, Lori Derby informs Lord Lottus that he granted this request, considering the publication opportune in view of the mobilization of Russian forces and the \ssue of a loan, 9944 KQUALLY MATPY.

Subsidence of the Excitement in | the Federal Capital. THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS ON TO TAKE PLACE. An Illustration of How History Repeats Itself. Piast am FORMER PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURATIONS. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Wasuixatox, Nov. 21, 1876, There is a general abatement of excitement percept, ible in Washington this evening, and matters have | assumed their Wonted quict aspect. Sut the spectre of trouble will not down despite this calm, and it haunts the popular imagination. Gossip and specula- ton as to the 1utare engross people's thoughts and form the staple of ordinary conversation with the public mind in this sensitive state. The presence of troops recalls the fact that Governor Hartranit, | of Pevnsylvania, was in close conterence recently with the President, and the gossips bave sprung to the conclusion that his business was the discussion of a Proposition to have the Pennsylvania militia ready for any emergency arising out of trouble on inaugura- tion cay, Atthe gaine time the gossips on the other side of the political fence point to the presence in Balumore of Colonel Pelton, of Governor Tiiden’s staf, and deduce their inference that bis visit there wus for the purpose of conferring with Goveroor Car- rollon the subject of an cscort of Maryland militia next March, when Governor Tilden comes to lay clam to the White House. As to the garrisouing of Washington at this time the republicans say {tis only repeating what was done by the dem- ocratic administration of President Buchanan, in January, 1861, when be ordered troops to the Capitol to guard it against the contingency of riot or trouble on the occasion of Mr, Lincoln’s inauguration. As one looks back through tho colamas of tho newspapers of that period he is forcibly struck by the truth of the saying that history repeats itself; for instance, the city of Washington was, as we all remember, greatly excited by the secession movement, six States baving already severed their relations with the national gov- ernment, Generai Scott writes a letter warning the President that the hotheads among the seceders will | doubtless lay hands upon the forts, arsenals and other public property, and advising him to garrison them with troops, On the ninth ot January, President Bu- chanan sends a special messugeto Congress, the next to the last paragraph o! which reads as foliows:— It ig said that serteus apprehensions aro to some extent entertained, in which | do avt share, that she peace of this district may be disturbed beiore the 4th j of March next. In any event it will be my duty to preserve it and (his daty «hall be pertormed. PRESIDENT GRANT'S POLICY. This sounds very like what President Grant said the other day, in the interview with your correspondent, when he gave tho assurance that he never appre- hended danger, but believed in being prepared for it ‘and having the means at bis command, Rut tho par allel gors still tarther. In the loeal papers of Jsanuary 21, 1861, wo'read the following :— ‘ A squad of fifteen marines arrived last night and went immediatey to the barrucks. A company of about seventy sappers and miners from West Point ar- rived yesterday morning and were quartered in Colum- pian Armory, A company of light artillery ‘rom thi to-dny and be here Delieved they will be is undérstood that the following Torco a is quartered on Capitol Hill. the government will concentrat | here:—Five companies of foot soldiers, including | Marines; three companies of light artillery and two companies of cavalry. From a paper of a few days later we learn that the artillerymen were quartered in the Arsenal grounds, where they are housed to-night, and that among tbooflicers were General, then Capiain, Barry, who 1s in command of the forces now on duty bere. Auother officer of those daye was Captain currency, bonds and securities now in its vaults ex- ceed the sum of $50,000,000. The bonds ou deposit by the national banks aione are in the neighborhood of $400, 000, 000, PORMER INAUGURATION: | ‘The foliowing interesting history of t! pauguration | ceremonies attending the induction inio office of the | Presidents of the United States up to Generai Grant’s time is given by the Star of this evening:— | Notwithatanding the fact that a Presidential inangn- | ration is invariably made a public ceremony, either | | the consittution nor statutory law makes auy provis- ton lor any public display on such occasions. ‘By com. mon consent, however, inaugurations have taken Place in public, and it is not likely’ the | custom will ever be departed from. “Tne offeial records of ‘tbe government show that only | p one occasion was the propriety.of the practice | qiestioned. ‘Ihia was at the second inauguration of | Washington, in 1793, 1m the city of Philadelptia, he | ceremony took piace in the Senate Chamber, and t ords how that on this occasion a question was raigod whether the oath of office should be taken | by General Washington privatety or im public. The matter was discussed in a Cabinet meeting, which decided tor the public inaugurat‘on, Washington him- | selfinclining to that mode, The itution 1# also | silent in regard to the place where the President shail | take the cath of office. Oficial data shows that six Presidential inaugurations—those of John Adams in 1797, Madison in 1$09 and 1813, Monroe in 1421, John Adains tu 1825 and Jackson in 1833—have taken piace | in the hall of the House of Representatives, Four of those—Washington in 1789 and 1793 and Jeffereon iu | 1801 and 1805—-bave taken place in the Senate Chain- ber, and twelve inaugurations have taken piace on the eastern portico of the Capitol. The first inauguration on the eastern portico was that of James Monroe, in 1817, This precedent was not followed until 1829, when Jackson was inaugurated op the samo spot. His next inauguration, however, | took place im the hall of the House, but thereafter the | ipeoming Prosidert took the oath and do- liverea his inaugurat address trom the enst mt of the Cayitol. The Constitution and statutes failing to preserihe the manner in which the oath of office shail bo taken, or the place where ft shali be taken, there is nothing to prevent the incoming [resitent trom qnalilying privately belore any person authorized by law to administer oaths trem sending his inaugural in writing to Congress, and trom entering upon bis duties whenever his tertn of office begins. THE SPEAKERSHIY, It is now believed there will bea warm contest for the spoakership when Congress reassembles, 1s was thought at the adjournment last summer that the icc would be quietly conceded to Mr. ler, the office would have no patronage in the way of commitice making, but the impression guns ground that the Speaker of the second session of the Forty-tourth Congres, will be made the Speaker of the Forty Gfth Cougress, and hence the struggle for | the latter place, which would otherwise have been de- | ferred until Docember of next year, will be brought | out this next Docember. Far this reason Mr, Randall, who bas graciously yielded to Mr. Sayler, is likely so dispate the contest with bim while Sunset Cox comes in third candidate, {1 | looks as if it would be the th ied contest of last winter over again, with Mr, Sayler in the stead of the late Speaker Kerr, Well Intormed republicans here to-night aro quite depressed over the latest Informa.

THE DEMOCRATIC BATIFICATION MEETING, Your correspondent waited upon the officers of the Democratic Association and was tola that pursuant to their advertisement thoy are determined to bold their grand ratification mecting of the Tilden and Hendricks Presidential ticket on the evening of the 29th inst., notwithstanding the apprehension of tho autborities that it may result im distarbance, The president, Mr. P. T. Berry, was busily ongaged at the headquarters this evening, making prevarations and giving instructions for the celebration. He wat expecting a telegram from ex-Governor Walker, of Virginia, who will probably tako part in the demon- stration as one of the speakers Delegations from Richmond and Philadelphia, tho latter under Mr. William Dickson, the tormer president of the Jackson Democratic AassOciation, are expected to contribute to the numbers of the procession, which tor Wasbing- ton is counted on to be one of the most imposing which bas ever taken placo here, Some of the more conservative democrats said in conversation to-night that as thero was some ground for apprehension of trouble they were in favor of postponing if not aban- dcning the celebration, partly because of the doubt with which the electoral vote is surrounded. The more enthusiastic, however, are in favor of going ahoad as they expcet to hear before the dato fixed for the procession, if not within a tew days, that the election will be decided in favor of Governor Tilden. The transparencies and other paraphernalia wil! ar- rive from Baltimore to-morrow, where they are being gotready, ana will be stored at the rooms of the club over Mr. Buckley’s cigar store, on Seventh street, In contrast to these sanguine preparations leading democrats, however, are enid by the secrot service detectives to give up the result as fixed for Governor Hayes, and therefore look upon the parade ag not only ill-timed but silly, Differing again witn A petition was presented trom the members of tho Bar of the city of New York tn relation to the selection of members of the Convention, which was referred to the Committee on the titution and Bylaws, Some other preliminary business was done, ‘ <a.

Instances arc numerous of dangerous and injudicious expressions on the part of unscrupulous partios ex- cited by the presence of troops in Washington. One braggart, a fellow with a contract, boasted that there wero now ready to answer the tap of a drum 40,000 men tn Baltimore and 25,000 in Virginia organized and armed, who could bo brought to Washington in two bours if deemed necessary.
