TELEGRAPHIC NEW From All Parts of the World. ENGLAND AND THE POWERS. All Europe Looking Forward to the Conference. RELIGION IN SPAIN. (Br caBLE TO THE HERALD. } Lonpon, Noy. 27, 1876. Notwithstanding the fact that an English com- Missioner is now enroute for Constantinople to arrange and settle this vexed question of the Turk in Europe, the feeling of confidence becomes no Stronger. Even now the chances of the failure of the conference are set down as about equal to its success by the most sanguine. When the members of that august assemblage get their feet ander the same table there will be grave doubts whether they will separate on friendly terms The truth is that the burden of the diplomatic set. tlement must rest with England and Russia. The three great empires, Germany, Austria and Russia, might readily settle this question among themselves, possibly, by throwing some sop to Italy. Therefore, England cannot but be regarded by them as an outsider. Germany has undoubtedly come to some understanding with Russia in re- gard to Roumania. The same power that put the Hohenzoliern prince, Charles, at the head of that State will take care of him just as long as it pays todo so, and no longer. Indeed, there are those who insist that the whole question is to be worked out by Russia and Germany at the expense of Austria, but there seems to be no excuse for such an unwarrantable outrage upon one of the most non-aggressive of the European Powers, and war, in these days, requires an excuse. Therefore, intil Austria’s course is understood, the compen- ‘ation which Germany is to receive for her friendly ‘terest in Roumania cannot be foretold. On one point there can be little doubt, however; Germany’s Satisfaction must come from Austria, Whatever compensition Francis Joseph may receive in return, such as Bosnia or Herzegovina ora part of Servia he may be thankful for and must accept. If the final hour of the Turk in Europe has come England’s Commissioner will insist upon Egypt as Her Majesty's share of the spoils in addition to the creation of an independent State, having Constantinople as its capital and having its exist- ence guaranteed by the great Powers. As will be Yeen, the situation 1s neither peaceful nor warlike, M such a state of political uncertainty can be under- @tood in the United States, where twenty days have failed to disclose how many votes were cast in Gree States for the Presidential candidates, RUSSIA AND BULGARIA. ‘The three Russian war vessels at Naples have sailed from that port for an unknown destination, Le ‘Wemps (of Paris) says England and Russia are agreed as to the character of the guarantees required, a trifling difference only existing on the subject of the occupa- tion of Bulgaria, ENGLAND'S POSITION AT THE CONYERENCE. The Marquis of Salisbury is reported to have de- clared, in conversation with members of the diplomatic corps in Vienna, that England would not appear at tho ‘Conference as the opponent in principle of Russia. It ‘would depend whether Russia drew up ber demands in @ form to guarantee the rights of the Christian subjects in Turkey without destroying the sovereignty of the Porte. Hoe would not regard {t as a violation of that Bovereignty if the Porte were to enter into certain engagements with Europe regarding the Porte’ b- jects and the Powers were to co-operate in the intro- duction of guaranteed reforms. GERMANY’S NECTRALITY. While Russia does not interlero with German inter- ests Germany feels morally obliged +o support Russia’s claims at the coming conference. Should war be una- voidable Germany would not object to tho invasion of Bulgaria by Russia, BEYOND ARM’S LENGTH. ‘The line of demarcation between the Turkish and Mcn:enegrin armies is settled. The zone between the veshgerents 18 two kilometres wide.

Statements are conflicting as to the origin of the fire, One is that she was partly undressed, and was burning some letters over the gaslight, when a burning fragment, which fell upon the floor, ignited her clothing. Another ts that as soon as she lighted the gassho threw the remainder of the burning match upon the floor and then sat down on a chair to read, her dress cover- ing the match and the fire stealing on ber unawares, When asked as to the cause she replied that sno caught fire from the gas.

Application of Governor Chamberlain for Federal Interference. PROMPT RESPONSE OF THE PRESIDENT. General Ruger Ordered to Protect the State Against Domestic Violen TROUBLE ANTICIPATED THE COMING WEEK. Startling Rumors Current at the National Capital. THE CONTEST OVER THE SPRAKERSHIP, ——__. Wasnrvcroy, Nov, 26, 1876. TROUBLE IN SOUTH CAROLINA ANTICIPATED DURING THE WEEK—ALL EMERGENCIES PRO- VIDED FOR IN ORDERS TO TpyE COMMAND- ING OFFICER, There is a promise of trouble this week in South Carolina, While tho subject of or-ering troops to Columbia was not directly discussed in Cabinet day before yesterday, it was not dwelt apon only because it ls felt that no necessity exists for giving orders trom Washington for the protection of the Legislature at its meeting next week. It will be remembered that Pres. ident Grant, in bis interview with your correspondent on the 12th inst., said, with roference tothe alleged im- practicability of Governor Chamberlain's convening the Legislature, that there would be great danger attend- ant upon its reassembling. From this it is inferred that the administration has long sinco signified through instructions given to the proper military officers, that the meeting of tho Legislature would doubtless require the protection of the troops, The officer in command, therefore, will, it 1a further inferred, exercise his dis- | eretion and be on hand to prevent violence should any be threatened or contemplated. Secretary Chandler says the troops are alrendy in South Carolina, and hence thero is no necd of giving any orders from Washington tor thelr disposition, The commanding officer wili comprehend best what the emergency may require. Officers who are in com- mand of some of the companies which have just returned bere from South Carolina say that every. man, woman and child in South Carolina will reaist the inauguration of Governor Chamberlain. | Senator Robertson, of South Carolina, who was his quandom friend and supporter, bas latterly withdrawn bis adherence from the cause and official actions of Chamberlain, which is eaid to be in defer- ence to the overwhelming conservative opposition to Dim by the native white citizens of the State. To this end he bas purposely absentod himself throughout the whole of the recent campaign and remained almost steadily in Washington. THE DIRVCT INTERFERENCE OF THE P2ESI- DENT REQUESTED BY GOVERNOR CHAMBER- LAIN--DON CAMERON AND GENERAL SHER- MAN CALLED TO A CONSULTATION—DISPOSI- TION OF TEOOPS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GOVERNOR'S REQUEST. Since the writing ot tho matter above on the subject of tho attitude of the Govornor with referonco to tho complications in Soutn Carolina tho direct in- terference of the President has been solicited by Governor Chamberiain, whose telegraphic request camo at a late hour to-night. The President immediately sent for Don Cameron, the Secretary of War, and for Get i Sherman and other military advisers of high rank, with whom he was in close conference at the White House until nearly mid- night He laid before the meeting the intormation and petition received from South Carolina The con- sultation lasted several hours and resulted in the sending of immediate instructions to General Ruger, commanding the troops in South Carolina. One of the gentlemen present characterized the nature of the news received and discussed as ‘‘something which would make one’s hair curl’? Beyond this nothing could be definitely gleaned, but upon seek- ing Secretdry Cameron Iater, who had just rotired, it was ascertained that instructions had been sent to General Ruger in regard to the disposition of troops, at the request of Governor Chamberlain. The Sec- retary of War was then asked if there was not somo- thing of a startling character received. He replied :— “Ob, no; nothing particularly starting, only Governor Chamberlain has made a special request for a ccrtain disposition of troops, andjtho orders have been givon,”” Outside of this the intormation received by the Pres- ident may be set down as having jastly or otherwise excited serious apprehensions on the part of Governor Chamberlain. Whatever the nature of the news accompanying the request of Governor Chamberlain it was evident, from the impression it made upon those who wero in the seeret of it, that it was regarded as of the gravest importance, Allowance isto be made for excessive alarm and extravagant representation on the part of Governor Chamberlain, but, despite this, he has provably been thrown toto a state of great excitement by reports that the friends of Hampton will support his claim with arms in their bands, The importance of the conference held to-night may be seen in the fact that among those present to adviso with the President, in addition to Secrotary Cameron and General Sherman, were Generals Meigs, Barnard aug Van Viiet. ORDER FROM PRESIDENT GRANT. The following was sent from this city to-night:— Wasitxetox, Nov. 26, 1876, General Tuomas H. Rucex or Colonel H. M. Buack, Columbia, & C.:— 1 The following has been received from the Presi- dent:— Exxcvtive Maxsion, Nov. 26, 1876, Hon, J. D. Camunox, Secretary of War:— Sin—D, H. Chamberlain is now Governor of the State of South Carolina beyond any controversy, and remains so until a new Governor shall be duly and legally inaugurated under the constitution.

J. D, CAMERON, Secretary of War, A NEW REPUBLICAN PLAN SAID TO BE ON THE TAPIS—THE ELECTIONS IN THE SOUTHERN DEMOCRATIC STATES TO BE INVESTIGATED BY A SENATE COMMITTEE, A shrewd bit of policy is said to be contemplated by the repubdlicans—namely, that immediately upon the reassembling of Congress tho first business of the Semate shall be to appoint investigating com- Mittees to examine into the manner of conducting the recent elections in Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina and Louisiana, and to report promptly, with a view to deciding what action shail be taxen at ibe counting und announcement of the electors! vores It is predicted that steps wili be taken to have the votes Of the State of Mississippi thrown out, The ‘mpression Prevails that the whole subject will be referred to the of Privileges and Elections, of which Senator Morton ts chairman, ana that ample material in the way of affidavits and oral testimony will be fur- shed at once to enable it to report without leaving Washington. Tho caseof Mississippi is now being made ap by Colonel |. Fisher, to be presented as soon as Congress meets. From this and other tndications it Is evident that thetime of the Senate will be taken ap in asecond edition of the debate heretofore had upon the outrages and political disorders of Lowsiapa and Mississippi. QUIET AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL—THE CON- TEST OVER THE SPRAKERSHIP. Washington is quict and dull considering that the session of Congress is only a week away, and that the @aucus of the majority for the Xpeakership which, as ig held tho Saturday night before the opening of tho session is only six days away, Hardly @ dozen memters are in town. The conspicucus absence of the rest !# attributed to the Inteness of Thanksgiving Day this year, the New England and Northern Congressmen not wishing to omit the obser- vance of the festival at thetr homes, The only topic discussed by the few mombers here is the Speakership, for which seven candidates are named, as tollows:—Mesars. Randall, Sayler, Cox, Morrison, Fernando Wood, Springer and Blackburn. It is ramored to-night that the National Executive Committee have written, through their chairman, Mr. Abram 8. Hewitt, advising the demo- cratic cattus to select Sunset Cox. As the reputed re- cipient of the letter cannot be found at this late hour the report lacks verification and 1s given for what tt is worth, MOVEMENTS OF TROOPS. 4 PART OF THE TWENTY-THIRD INFANTRY ORDERED TO FORT LEAVENWORTH. Sr. Lots, Nov. 25, 2876. A special despatch to the Globe-Democrat trom Leavenworth, Kan., says a part of the Twenty-third infantry, now im the Department of the Piatto, will be ordered to reportto General Pope af Fort Leaven- worth. One company of the same regiment is now here, having arrived from Omaha some days «go. No TROUBLE ANTICIPATED, The officers at Fort Leavenworth scout the idea that tho government is concentrating troops at New York and Washington to mecta possible political emergency, and say, there has been no unusual movement of troops in that direction lately, The Kast has now no more troops than it has had for several years past, and it Is not hkely to have, even aftor the close of the Indian war and tho troubles in the South. The troops uow in the North- ‘weat and South will be distributed in the departments of Missouri, Platto and Dakota, ‘and very fow sent East, The Indian trouvles which have threatehed tho peace in Southora Colorado and New Mexico are avout ended, the prompt action of the miltary having had a decided effect; and matters in Arizona have quieted down, the majority of the Indians there having gone upon tho reservations set apart for them by tho gov- ernment, WASHINGTON TERRITORY.

DEFYTHOVEN HALL—CONCERT BY MASTER DAVID BIMBERG AND HIS JUVENILE ORCHESTRA. Beethoven Hall, East Fifth street, near the Bowery, ‘Was respoctably filled last evening by av audience con- gregated to usten tu the music of Master David Bim- berg and his orchestra of juvenile performers. Master Bimberg has been some three years material of which this orchesira posed, the ages of the performers ranging from tweive to eighteen, and, perhaps, twenty years, Ik was curious to witness last night a little fellow bandling a big bass viol twice his size, and handling it well, too, So did the little chap who fingered the Piano during almost tho entire performance. These young artists may now be called ‘“masters,"” but there seems to be the making of a number of first class bro‘essionai maestrocs among them, who will distin- Guish themscives in the future in the realms of music. Among thesolo pertormers just evening were Masier V. Faivella on ibe flute, giving a selection with varia- ons from “Luck Master Charles Hauser on the Plano and again on the violin; Master C. Curti on the Wood and siraw instrument, in solos, which were rap turously received, “The Bird ov the Treo’' is a very pretty original. conception of Master Bimberg, who, with his orebestra, inake good mutic on the theme, which, we think, might bea little more elaborated in the violin touches representing the chirping of birds and rendered with) = much artetic skill by young Bimberg.

In a call tor a repo- tition Master Binberg played “Home, Sweet Home," with variations of much originality taste. A pot pourri by the orchestra, led by the young Maesiro Bimberg, concluded a very pleasant evening's enter- tumment, Young Rimberg and bis orchestra should be heard in some hall where there would ve jess b tiny among the audience than was to be obe Beethoven Hull last evening. de THE LIEDERKRANZ.
