THE INDIAN CYCLONE, Lonpox, Nov. 28, 1876, There is scarcoly any news this morning in regard to the Eastern difficulty. Tbe reported utterances of She Czar to General Tchernayeff’s chief of staff, encour- aging the Russian volunteers in Servia, is regarded as somewhat significant; but, on the whole, there seoms to be more hope of peace than there has been for some weeks, The English Cabinet seem to bo willing to allow of a ‘collective oceapation’? of the Christian provinces, and Rassia, on the other band, appears to bo moderat- Ing her demands. Whether these apparently peacetui Indications are mere ruses to gain time or eviaences of B genuine desire for peace the future alone will tell. THE CZAR AND THR VOLUNTEERS IN SERVIA. A report comes from Belgrade that Goneral Doctoroff, Uhe former chicf of General Tcbernayeff’s staff, who lately proceeded to St Petersburg ona spocial mission, has telegraphed General Tchernayeff that the Czar Btated during an audience that he greatly relied on the Russian jorce in Servia, and charged him (General Doctoroff) to inform tho Russian officers remaining in Servia that they should lose nothing thereby. The Grand Duke Nicholas on Sunday telegraphed to Gen- Tchernayeff requesting him to come to Kichineff. Gen- eral Tchernayeff will probably start on Thursday for that place, PRECAUTIONS 1X POLAND. Whether “Russia really fears an insurrectionary movement in Poland in caso of a war with Turkey, she is certainly preparing for all contingencies in that tountry. There are eontradictory reports as to the formation of a Russian army of the Vistula, The jrath probably is—no matter what reports are circu. lated—that a Vistula army is being organized. It will be commanded by the hereditary Grand Duke, with headquarters at the important railway junction of Bkierniuice, a town of Poland, forty-two miles west southwest of Warsaw.

Vernon- Harcourt, Member of Parliament for the city of Ox- ford, will be celebrated at Westminster Abbey on Sat- urday next THE BRITISH GRAIN TRADE, The Mark Lane Express, in ite weekly review of the British corn trade, says:— The seedling wheat plant, in consequence of so far favorable weather, still proserves a healthy appearance, There bas been no farther spread ofl potato disease in Ireland, Tho crop, though doubtless suffering from blight in some districts, has not on the whole beon affected to any alarming extent, The present aspect of trade appears suificiently strong to justify farmers in holding buck wheat as long as possible. A con. tinuance of the meagre supplies of home grown grain, both in Londou and country markots, indicates ex- pectation of an advance. ENGLISH WHEAT HELD BACK. English wheat on Saturday advanced a shilling to two shillings per quarter at a majority of provincia, markets, but growers showed little inclination to part even at that improvement, while in Mark lane the tew samples offering on Monday fetched tully previous prices. Tho local trade during the temporary luli in political affairs has rogained its natural balance, a healthy tone prevailing, although business has rot been brisk. This, however, cam searcely be expected when imports aro being daily added to by the numer- ous arrivals from ports which are icebound during winter, ARRIVALS OF RUSSIAN WHEAT. The week’s imports have been thus swelled by nu- merous arrivals of Russian wheat, while the quantity on passage has also increased, thero being now about 2,000,000 quarters afloat, Snipments from California account for this increase, Tho supply from all other usual sovrees show a diminution compared with tho corresponding period last year. ‘The enormous crop on the Paciflé Slope has been the single great exception to the general rule of a short harvest. If the United Kincdom is its ultimate destination appre- hensions as to future prices might be justly enter- tained, The Continental demand may relicve us of a considerable quantity. MAIZE ADVANCING, Maize in London bas recovered its lato depression, and advance of about sixpenco having been realized on account of the Continental demand. Several cargoes off the coast have been taken for Continental ports, especially Bremen, at higher prices than United King- dom buyers were at first willing to pay, although they subsequently had to allow the advance. There have been few arrivals of wheat cargoes at ports of call and a limited business at firm prices, SPRCIR FOR NEW YORK.

MEXICO. ‘THE PRESIDENCY CLAIMED BY IGLES‘AS, THE CHIKY JUSTICE-—-HIS PRETENSION SUPPORTED BY DIAZ—OUTRAGE ON AMERICAN CITIZENS. 3 Browssvitux, Tex., Nov. 27, 1876. A courier arrived to-day trom Guanajuato, the native State of Iglesias, Chief Justice and ez officio Vice Pres- ident of Mexico, with news. Iglesias had assumed tho powers of President of the Republic, in detault ofa legal election, and had appointed a full Cab_ inet and other federal officers. The — people of Guanajuato were enthusiastic in bis support, and had raised a large sum of money to sustain his gov- ernment, The Diaz revolutionists all recognize Iglesias as the legitimate President, Matamuras 1s the only place east of the Sierra Madro Mountains held by the partisans of Lerdo. An agent of Iglesias is here, said to be treating for its surrender, and itis believed the com- mander will turn over the city to the now government, Tho Lerdo government had aeknowledged the English debt, and it is reported they have negotiated a further joan of $1,000,000, which has excited national feeling against Lerdo. OUTRAGE ON AMBRICAN CITIZENS, Five American citizens went over to Matamoros yesterday on a visit and wero insulted and aggaulted by Mexican officors and then arrested and* thrown into prison, This morning they were fined trom $20 to $150 each, with the alternative ot two months hard labor on the public works, This outrage has created protound excitement on this side of tho river, and hundreds of men are offering themselves to aid in rescuing tho Americans if necessary. Unless the United States government take steps to prevent a repetition of these outrages thero ts great danger of an early conflict on this border, ing up here that the government is backing down in its demands. COLLECTIVE OCCUPATION. Tho Paris correspondent of the 7'imes, discussing the prospecis of the conference at Constantinople, says: “People even affirm that the Marquis of Salisbury, the English Plenipotentiary, though ou principle opposed to foreign cecupation, has not an absolute predeter- min tion even on that point, He will discuss with un- CUBA.

The total number of troops which have arrived here up to this date is Diassed mind the qacstion ‘of a collective occupation within the limits, which cannot alarm tho Porte nor excite the suspicions of any Power.” THe “TIMES” FAVORS IT. The Times, in a lvading article, also openly favors colivctive occupation, it says:—‘The oecupying force ehovld, in the case of cach province, be procured {rom some Power which cannot be suspected of harboring any designs upon the province in which it is placed, No objection could bo raised to this as Jong #s the force lurnisted is trustworthy and sufficient. The jeaiousies ot-tue guarantecing Powers and the antipathy of the Porte may be allayed by tho adoption of this salutary principle.” THE NEW TURKISH CONSTITUTION. A despatch from Brussels says that Le Nord this af- ternoon states that the te&t of the new Turkish eon- Stitution has been communicated to the Powers, PLON PLON COMING TO THK FRONT. Prince Napoleon is once more attracting somo at- tention in France, and it will not bo any fault of his if ho does not cut a more important figure in tho polities of the country than his enemies imagine ho has the ability to do. Being distrusted by the Bona- partists he follows the example of his imperial cousin, the late Emperor, when ho was Intriguing to overthrow tho Republic, and makes a bold bid for the support of the extreme radical party by attacking the clericals. His speech in the Chamber of Deputies on Friday tfternoon, in which he, in violent teri nounced ihe dangerous encroachments of tia and sup- ported a proposal for the redaction of t imates for public worship, has drawn down upon him the ire of the ultramontane papers, and he is denounced in ‘Vigorous terms. ENGLISH PRESS COMMENTS, ‘The speech has also attracted some attention here, The Paria correspondeut of tho 7rmes, relerring to it, says :—“This speech marks the entry of a pretender on the scene, Prince Napoleon has chosen bis oppor- tunity ata time when a conflict between the Senute and Chamber of Deputies seoms impending. It will bo a mistake to despise the Prince who has two great qualities of a dangerous conspirator, patience and audscity. All those will range themselves roand him who desire tu obtain as passing tool a chief who is feady to serve anti-religious passions. ’” TUR PRINCK’S RADICALISM DISTURBED. But Plon Plon’s radicalism is disturbed by tho radi- cals themselves, and with the lesson of the coup “Gat before them and kept fresh in their momory by the rible hamiltutious of the late war, they are not likely to be caught again with the old bait.

Wasmixerox, Nov. 27, 1876, ANOTHER AUTHORITY—-THE SOUTH CAROLINA DIFFICULTY ILLUSTRATED BY A SIMILAR CASE IN WISCONSIN. An exact parallel, as woll as precedent, to the dis- pute between the Board of Canvassers and the Su- preme Court of South Carolina has been discov- ered in the Wisconsin Law xeport, In 1855 the Board. of Canvassers of Wisconsin proceeded to canvass the vote for ‘Governor, and bad finished all but two counties, without which the republican candidate, Bash{ord, had a major. ity. of about 302, Thereupon tho returns from these two counties, which were situated in the wilderness, wero doctored by the democrats so as to give Barstow, their candidate, a majority of 1,500. The latter was given the certificate of election, and on the 1st of January, 1856, he was duly inaugurated, Meantime Bash- ford sued out a writ of quo warranto before the Supreme Court, whieh body was composed of one republican and two democratic judges, and tho issue came to a heering a month or two after Barstow had been installed as Governor. The Court went behind the declaration of the canvassers, and took testimony showing that the two counties which had given a majority suflicient to overwhelm the opposition majority of $00 in the rest of the State wero situated in the wil, derness and possessed a population of men, women and children, all told, hardly equal to 300, The baseness of the fraud was made so appareat that Barstow immo- diately tendored his resignation, but, nevertheless, the Court proceeded to issue both a writ of ouster and a mandamus, declaring Bashford tho rightlully elected Governor. Tho latter entered upon and took the office without farther question. ARRIVAL OF CONGRESSMEN—CONSIDERABLE SPECULATION ABOUT THE SPEAKERSHIP—MIL, RANDALL THE STRONGEST CANDIDATE— DOUBTS OF HIS ACCEPTANCE—MR, SAYLER'S CHANCES. ‘There is as yot but # sprinkling of Congressmen vist- ble im Washington. Mr. Saylor arrived to-day and has taken rooms atthe Arlington. Mr, Springer has en- gaged Sunset Cox’s old quarters in Ordway’s house on Capitol Hill. Mr. Meade is at Willard’s. Mr. Foster is atthe Ebbitt Mr. Rahdall will be here to-morrow. ‘The gossip about tho Spoakership runs in this way : Mr. Randall will bo the leading candidate rf he wish the position, As to his wishes in the matter it 1s said that in conversation at Capo May last summer, after tho adjournment, he expressed himself as boing willing to aceept 11 if the Forty-fifth Congress should prove to bo also democratic, his reasoning being that the Speaker now would be re-elected Speaker in the next Congress, His election would furthermore bring Mr. Fernando Wood to the head of the Ways and Means Committee, and thereby rectify an injustice done Mr. Wood in the making up of the committees last winter, ‘Tho strength of Mr. Sayler lies im the popularity and success he achieved as Speaker pro tempore. Tho best argument in his favor ts the lack of argument against him, It would be very difficult to define why ho should not be re-clected. Mr. Cox will go ‘nto the caucas with all the strength he had.last year, and witn the addition of so many of the members who originally supported the late Speaker Kerr as deem Mr. Cox en- titled to their support in turn for his withdrawal in favor of Mr. Kerr, Mr. Morrison is not known to desire the office. His retiring disposition would disincline him to accept it if it were offered him, It Mr. Morrison is not a can- didate Mr. Springer will be urged in his stead. If Mr, Cox fails to secure the support of the Eastern dem- ocrats Mr. Springer will get a large share of it, Blackburn’s name may be presented by some of his unwise friends. He is a brilliant but nota sound parliamentarian. ‘‘Why,’’ said a member, speaking of bis conduct in the chair, **He came near adjourning us once in committee of the whole, and then where would the House have been ?”” Thero 18 also some talk of making Mr. Howitt Speaker, but he would hardly accept the place Tho report of last night that Mr. Howitt had written a letter hero advising the selection of Mr. Cox turns out to be untroe, All the democrats admit that, in view of the litigious work this session should Mr. Hayes bo elected President, the Speaker should be experienced and en- ergetic in Parliamentary work. — GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES, Wasuincron, Nov, 27, 1876, | THE UNITED STATES AND THE MEXICAN JOINT COMMISSION, Sir Edward Thornton, the umpire of the United States and Yexicau Joint Commission, has mado a ro- ply to applications for the rehearing of tho following named cases, some of which were horetofore decided In favor of the claimants:—Joseph W. Hale, F, W. Latham, George W. Hammekin, J. M. Burnap, Ben- jamin Weil, the Louisiana Aora Silver Mining Com- pany, J. W. Miller, George White, Manuel del Barco, Roque Garaty, Augustus E. St. John and Bishop Thaddeus Amat and others, the latter baving received an award against Mexico of $1,000,000, in what 18 known as the “Pious Fund’ case. Alfred A. Green, of California, was also among those who asked for a ro- hearing, the Commissioners having decided against his cliim for $233,000 for his cotton plantation, destroyed in Sinaloa, and hig silver mines, taken from him by forco, in Durango. After a review of the powers of the commission the umpire says he has beon torced into the conclusion that ho has no authority to rehear the above mentioned cases. At the same timo he will not admit, but wholly denies, the inference which will gonerally and naturally be drawn from the observa- tions mado by the agent of Mexico that any stain can attach to bis honor by reason of his refusel to rehear these claims.

REMOVAL OF HISTORICAL PAINTINGS FROM FANEUIL HALL TO THE ART MUSEUM-——THE CRADLE OF LIBERTY ROBLED OF ITS TREAS- URES. (SY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] i Bosrox, Nov. 27, 1876, ‘Old Faneuil Hall, that boasted ‘cradio of liberty’? of which Boston has been so proud daring the past decade, has to-day, been stripped of all its renowned glory by the removal of those historical paintings of Revolutionary character which have ever been among the chief at- tractions of the ancient edifice. The outrage has been resisted in city government meetings for several weeks, and many and eloquent were the Centennial orations which were pronounced against the removal, ‘Dust in numbers the municipal vandals were the strongest’ In accordsnco with this vote the paintings were this afternoon removed to the obscuro institution known as the Art Museum, situated somewhere out on the Back Bay in the verhood of the Brighton Cattle Yard. The work of re- moval occupied the entire day, and was witnessed and denounced by many indignant citizens, The first pic- ture taken from the hali was that of General Kuox, by Stuart, which hung on the east id of the front gal- lery. ‘Next came that of John. Adams, by Page, near the south end of the enst gallery, directly oppo- site the Speaker's desk; then followed that of John Hancock, by Copley. Near the centre of the same gal- lery was the portrait of Samuol Adams, by pley. ‘On the west gallery, opposite the Speaker’s desk, and last of all, came Stuart’s famous portrar of Washington, which was on the south li, on the leit of the platform, with thetsign underngat “Preseuted | to the city in 1806" Tho portraits were carefully Wrapped up, put into two wagons and carried to tho Art Musou, Ta this connection it may be stated that the dealers in works of art estimate the lowest cash value of the portrait of Washington about $25,000, and the others named at about $5,000 each. ‘Tho original sketch of the Washington portrait was preaonted by Mr. Stuart to J.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov, 27, 1876, Among the peculiarly appropriate recognitions of our national thanksgiving festival is announced the unveiling and dedication ceremonies of a monument emblematic of religious liberty, which will take place at the Centennial Grounds on next Thursday (Thanks- giving Day). The monument has been heretofore so fully doscribed that it 1s only necessary to rofer to it here as a group, comprising three figures—tho centro a life size statue of a woman ropresenting the genius of American liberty. On one side ot hor a smaller figure ‘of a boy, bearing in bis hand ‘an undying flame,” typifies the light of religion that should ever illumine the path of liberty, while on tho other aide, with the female figure projectea between them so as to mark the separation, the State 1s presented in the form ot an American cagle, whose reading wings bear testimony to his sovereign iate, while the crushed serpent tn his claws denotes hostility to all forms of persecution, The entire group is in marble, and is ono of the largest statucs made this century, weighing 26,000 pounds. It is the design and work of a young Ameri- ¢an sculptor, Moses J. Ezckiel, a native of Richmond, Va., and later a resident of Cincinnati, Ohio, until eight years ago, since which time he has been en- aged in art studies at Berlin and Rome. In Berlin fe ‘graduated at the Academy with tho n) possible honors, ing a fellowsbip that entitled Im to proso- cute his studies in the latier city at the expense of the former foundation, Increasing honors have thus far followed him in his career, his works having reoeived the best commendation from some of the most eminent critics of the European schools, while steady orders trom people of the best admitted taste in Berlin andelsewhere have kept him constantly occupied in the development and practice of art. ‘A more recent work of Ins, sudsequent to the statue of “Religious Liberty,” representing Eve after tho fall, was one of the most prominent features of the latest Berlin exhibition. Mr. Ezekiel has recemily been elected a member of the Royal Academy at Urbino, Kaphael’s birthplace, a testimony alike to the excellence of hia art work as to the chaste and classic character of his studies, ORDER OF EXERCIRES The order of exercises for the unveiling and dedica- tion ceremonies was completed to-day. The exercises will be opened with an invocation by Rev. George Jacobs, of Philadelphia, a member of tho local Centennial Committee. The address of woicome will be delivered by Simon Kahn, of Phi@@®lphia, and followed by the presentation of the statue by 1s sculptor, Mr. Ezekiel, to the Chairman of the Centen- nial Committeo of tho Order of B'nai B'rith.

Diversions.” j Both are works of a high order, but Mr. Firmin- | Girard’s is probably destined to excite the more wide- | spread interest even apart from tho fact of oving the more meritorious work, In it we get.a glimpse of the quays of Paris, seen from the Latin quarter sido of the river, with the Tuileries and Louvre in the distunce. This pictare proposes to do for Paris what Frith’s “Derby Day” and ‘Railway Station” havo done for modern London, only in a much more artistic way. Hero we have sketches of the everyday life of the great Metropolis under its most poetic aspect, The profuse | introduction of beautiful flowers takes away the for- mality of the architecture, and so cleverly aro the | Various types of Parisians introduced that they ap- pear to be there quite accidentally and not all to have como to have their likenesses taken. There the sharp, obliging porters, the marketmen and women, the cocker and his vebicle, the authoritative and formidable gardé civil just coming on the scene and kept wellin the background, so as not to interiors with the peaceiul beauty of tho scene in the fore- ground, and then there aro the groups of the purchasing public, each with its well defined individuality, ad- mirably studied, The figures are drawn with freedom and correctnoss, and painted with a strength and vigor quite remarkable. Everything on the can- vas ig natural and real, The flower painting is not inferior to the figure work, and the way in which the mass of brilliant color is distributed and blended is a triumph of the highest order, ‘his work mado a great sensation in the last Salon, and was so much adwired that it was found necessary to station two policemen near it to keop off the crowd. Its success here will not be less, Alvarez’s great work, ‘Our Forefathors’ Diversions,” wo have already noticed at length. 0 is a marvellous piece of color, Other works worthy of notice azo “Surprised Confidences,”” by V. Palmaroli, nm which a monk is seen descending a staircase, while two lovers are soated below exchanging tender contidences, Thero in this work a delightiul delicacy of color, combined with simplicity of motive and method. Atulio Simonetti contributes to these art treasures ‘‘Mother’s Birthday,” which is marked by the distinguishing brilliancy in color of the Raman school. There is also an admirable example of Simonez, “the Cardinals Coach,’? showing an incident in the life of the Roman populace, Meyer von Bremen ja represented by “The Gossips’ and “The Little Rabbit Seller,’”? which latter work attmctea so much attention at the Centennial. Viverb has a “Cardinal at the Muscum,”’ and Firmin-Girard appcars again in a delightfal bit of landscape with figures which ts called ‘Gathering Wild Flowers.’ Florent Willhms is represented by @ good example, “Domestic Felicity’? representing mother looking at her sleeping babe. It is remarkavle ‘tor delicacy of color and the roundness of the figure modelling. Eugene Fromentin, deceased, is repre- sented by @ spirited little picture of Arab hunters, and J. B, Irving by his latest and most important work, “The Disputed trick,” which we have already | noticed at some length as a work of unusual merit. Hague Merle has a largo canvas representing a Vene- tian lady and gentleman of tho Middle Ages, giving alms—it is harmonious in color and possesses that sweetness of expression we look for in Merie’s works. Kevrault’s picture of a little child who bas been naughty and found out called “In Punishment,” will probably be one of the most popular of the collec. tion. In expression, modelling and color it iz simply admirable.’ Tho ‘Carabinier,”’ by Detaille, and & largo picture of a “Fe.ein Naples’? also deserve attention, Taken together the collection is most re- markable in point of merit, and cannot fail to give pleasure to tho most critical of visitors, ART NOTES, ©. T. Phelan is engaged on a small cattle subject, which is treated with considerable foree. The Jand- scape i particularly satisfactory, from the truthful way in which tho daylight effect is reproduced, W. M. Cary has on bis easel a pleasant cattle subject, It reprosents.s group of horses brought to water by children, It is simple and offoctive in treatment, and the drawing of the animals is very satisfactory, ‘Yhe Brooklyn Art Association will hold its annual reception on Monday next: It has been resolved only to admit the members of the association and the press on Monday and Tuosday evenings. Afterward the gen- eral public will bo admitted asim former years. The exhibition this year promises to eclipse in point of quality all 1ts predocossors. ART SALE, There will be an important sale of pictures, mostly by local artists, at Matthews’ Art Gallery, beginning to-day and cogtinuing to-morrow, The collection in- cludes some hundred pictures, many of them of high merit and representing the best easels of our nativo school, Many of the works come directly from the studios of the artists, THE FOX HUNT AT HACKENSACK, To mux Enrtor ov tax Heratp:— As there is likely to be some fun over at the meet at Hackevsack next Thankagiving Day a few words to the gentiemen who think of taking over their hunters may not bo inpportune..

WHERE ARTICLES LOST AND ADVEPTISED FOR ARTICLES FIND THEIR WAY. Yesterday afternoen Officer Kennelly noticed a couple of men carrying a large box inio the saloon No, 58 James strect, kept by Mary Varley, a sister of the de- deased “Reddy the Blacksmith.” Thinking thes movements suspicious ho followed them, but they suc- ceeded in getting inside and had the door fastoned when the officer tried it, Patrolman Piott at this mo- ment appeared, and at once assumed sentinel duty in | in front of the door while Kennelly hurried to the | Fourth precinet station house for assistance, Captain Murray at once hurried to the scene, and while Detec- tive Carr made a descent upon the rear of the premtsea he forged the front, The suspected persons and thoir suspicious burden had disappeared, having, no doubt, made) their way into Oliver street through tho rear. aud the walls were found to be filled with secret doors and panels, some of them mechanical marvela in th way, which hid from sight quite an assortment of vab vable shawls, silks, laces and notions, with a strang collection of shovels, carpenters’ tools, Fire Depart ment axes, boxes of tobacco, opera glasses, 1vory fons, rolls of bunting and almost sufllcient stockings, buttons, handkerchiefs and trimmings to stock a good- ol fancy goods store, Naturally, a complete set of | burglars? tools were among the secreted articles, ‘The proprietor of tho establishment was arrested, and the koods were taken to the station house, where they await ideutification by their owners, This ciscovery and the arrest of the woman in charge of the house is an important one, for it fur- nisues a clew tothe methods adopted by thieves to concoal their pinader, How such a place of conceal. ment could bave been constructed and carried on withe out ¢iscovery by the police is one of those mysteries that cannot be explained. There are, no doubt, many such recoiving houses in the city, and ‘it be- hooves the authorities to make diligent search for them, When tt — is considered — that aliqost every square foot of the walls was packed close with a hoterogencous collection of articles, some idea of the value of the plunder captured may be gainer To-day the police will continue their investigation of the premises. When the stock of stolen goods was displayed in the treet police station Captain Murray found himself able to go into a generrl business and supply every known branch of trade, The officer deserves credit for bis clevernoss and Prompt action in following the two men suspected, HOTEL ARRIVALS.
