THE CZAR DESIROUS OF PEACE. The conviction that the mission ot General Ignatieff will lead to a friendly arrangement 1s general at St, Petersburg aud Moscow, even by those entirely un- acquainted with tho position. This conclusion is in- ferred from General Ignatiefl’s trip. Unless Russia Were desirous to avoid war the Gonera!, it is con- eluded, would not have been despatched West, and such being the case it 1s expected that the Powers will meet Russia nalt way. There is hittle doubt that Russia will consent to demobilize if the Paris treaty, which has practically ceased to exist, Is q@irectly or indirectly done away with. Austria's ac- quiescence in some such arrangement 1 probable, and it Austria co-operates the consent of Germany will ot be wanting. INCREASED TAXATION OPPOSED IN GERMANY, There was an animated debate in the German Retch- Stag on Saturday over the first reading of the budget. Phe government requires about $17,000,000 more than ‘Yast year. « Herr Hofmann, Minister of State, said it was ne 'y to make up this amount by inereased contribu- jons from the individual States. \ Herr Lasker, leader of the national liberals, said Horr Hotmann’s epeech was a mere reproduction of ‘what the Chancellor's office had already promulgated, | Herr Richter (progresstst) said scarcely a single Point of the wholo budget was satisfactory. Both speakers urgod the necessity for catablishing imperial ministries with parliamentary rosponsibility, Prince Bismarck said he favored Increased taxation, but the scheme for this was not ripe for execution, and he was compelled to resort provisionally to an increase of the matriculatory contributions, He opposed tho establishment of imperial ministries, Imperial ministers without power would be useless, Were he not President of the Prussian Ministry as wellas of the Imperial Chancellery, he would be powerless. He reminded the House of the case of tho President of the Imperial Railway Department, who resigned his office because he saw all this arrangement upset by the opposition of the particalarist States, The strongest opponent of an Imperial Minister of Finance would be the Prussian Finance Minister, It was for this very reason that he endeavored to obtain for the superior imperial officinis o seat and voice in the Prussian Ministry in order to gain over tho greatest particularist State tothe Empire, Other States are no loss particularist than Prussia, ‘the particularist current has always been considerable, and it seems as if it were now about Yo grow stronger, 1t18, perhaps, the point of transi- tion; but we want, at all events, timo to overcome such obstacles, Tho debate will be continued to-day. NOW FOR THE TRUE CAUSE OF ARNIM’S PERSECUTION: Herr Loe, formerly Secretary of the German Em- bassy at Paris; Count Hermaun von Arnim and Dr, Gehisen, editor of the Reichsglocke (newspaper), havo been tried in Berlin, and convicted in the Municipal Court of Berlin, of violation of the press laws in pub- Msbing certain articlos in the Reichsglocke. Hermann, who isason of Count Henry von Arnim, was sen- fenced to imprisonment for three months; Loe for one year and Gehisen for five years. GENERAL CHANGARNIER’S SUCCESSOR, A Paris despatch says the election last Saturday of M. Dupuy de Lome (Bonapartist) toa Ife Senatorship {n place of General Changarnier was due to a coalition ‘of the Bonapartists and legitimists, and, what is yet Stranger to say, of the constitutional Orleanists, Tho alliance of tho Bonapartists and legitimists bas” becomo a normal fact, produced by the hatred of the Republic, but the defection of the constitutional Orieanist party, at the head of which ts the Duc @’Andiffret-Pasquier, President of the Sonate, associ- fAting itself with the violent parties of the Right to Feject a moderate republican candidate ot incontestible ‘uprightness, is an act of flagrant political immorality, even in a country where immoral coalitions in political matters occur as often as in France.

(2x cabiz To THE HERALD. ]j Lonpon, March 12, 1877. We are in receipt of three deeply interesting setters from Henry M. Stanley, the joint commis- sioner of the HERALD and London Daily Telegraph, \ now exploring the equatorial regions of Central Africa, and determining the location and character of the several sources of the Nile. Two maps ac- company the letters, and illustrate the various routes and explorations made by Stanley since the date of the despatches which were received from | him in October, 1876, FROM UsIJ1. ‘The letters are dated from Ujiji,on the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika, and on the 7th, 10th and i 13th of August, 1874, respectively. After exploring the hitherto unknown region between Lakes Victoria and Albert N’yanza, and discovering the great River Kageera, which flows Into the Victoria N'yanza from the southwest, Stanley took a southerly route toward Ujiji, the place where he first met Living- stone, In the course of his journcy he discovered Lake Windermere, an enlargement of the Kageera, and also a body of water which he named Kageera Lake. DRIVEN BACK BY HUNGER, But by the ferocious hostility of the natives ot the region called the Warundi and being brought to the verge of starvation, Stanley was forced to retire into a more hospitable country and abandon for the time being the further exploration of the Kageera and its wonderful valley, and his efforts to reach the southern end of Lake Albert N'yanza. ON TO TANGANYIKA, Pursuing his course toward Ujiji, Stanley crossed into the country of Unyamwesi, and, after travers- ing its ridge-broken expanse, reached his destina- tion in safety. ‘The details of this perilous journey are given in his letter. SURVEYING THE LAKE. After fitting together ond launching the explor- ing boat Lady Alice, which rendered such good ‘}Rerviee-on Lake--Vietorts ‘'¥anza, Manley.com- menced his survey of Lake Tanganyika. Starting from Ujiji, he made a complete circumnavigation of the lake and verified many observations made on that portion which he had previously visited and explored in company with Dr. Livingstone. CAMERON'S OUTLET. Stanley has settled the question of the River Lukuga, which Cameron supposed was the outlet of Lake Tanganyika toward the west and into the sys- tem of lakes which form the headwaters of the Lo- mame or Lualaba ot Livingstone. RIGHT AND WRONG. Stanley's letters indicate that Cameron was both right and wrong with regard to the character of the Lukuga River. ONLY A CREEK AT PRESENT. At present it is only a creek, running inland through a deep depression, which extends west- ward for a great distance. But the lake, by con- stantly increasing Its area and raising in level, wil eventually find an outlet through the Lukuga River. BURTON GULF. Stanley's investigations on and around Lake Tan- ganyika are of the most curious and complete nature. At the northern end of the lake he found a spacious gulf, which will henceforward be known to geographers as ‘Burton Gulf,” after the cele- brated African explorer of that name. THE KAGRERA RIVER. In his second letter Stanlty describes some very important discoveries respecting the Kageera River, which empties into Lake Victoria N’Yanza on its western side. He attaches vast importance to this stream as a feeder of the great lake. THE SHIMEEYU RIVER. Te compares the Shimeeyu, which flows into the Victoria N’Yanza from the vast swampy region south- east of the lake, through which he first approached its shores, to the River Thames, but the Kageera to the Thames and Severn combined. AN INTERESTING INFERENCE. The purity and color of the water of the Kageera, he declares, indicate that it rises either far to the westward of Lake Tanganyika or that its course is | interrupted by a lake, where the waters are purl- fled as in a great settling basin, LAKE ALEXANDRA, Stanley's investigations go to prove the existence of such a lake of considerable extent, and which is known by several names. To the river and lake Stanley gives the name of Alexandra,” in honor of the Princess of Wales. PARENTS OF THE EGYPTIAN NILE. He proves that the Egyptian Nile is the Ixsue of the unitedBine and White Niles, the former nowing from the mountainous region of Abyssinia and the latter from the equatorial lake system, GRAND PARENTS OF THE NILE. The White Nile ts the issue of Lake Alvert Ny- anza, which derives its waters {rom the vast watershed that immediately surrounds tt, The Victoria Nile is the issue. of Lake Victoria 5 vanza, which ts fed by numerous rivers, such as the Shimeeyn, the Duma, the Ruana, The Kageera or Lower Alexandra Nile tssnes from Alexandra Lake, which latter body of water ts fed from sources yet unexplored.

AtLaxta, Ga, March 12, 1877, I hasten to give you the following particulars of the movement and effects of a terrible tornado which has passed over Alabama. These indicate the fulfilment of the Heratp prediction of the 4th regarding such a dis- turbance in the Misstesippi Valley, which w: fol- low! “These thermometric differences, together with the rapid variations of pressure now occurring in the Wost, may combine to develop a tornado in the Missis- sippi or Ohio Valley region.” The storm seems to bave originated further south than has yet been reported by telegraph, On tho sth inst, a tornado similar to those that visited Georgia a year ago developed itself in the southwestern part of Alabama or Missiseippi and swept toward tho north. | east, leaving death and destruction in its wake, A let- ter to the Hiraip correspondent nere from Tallapoosa county, in Alabama, gives some of the particulars of the effects of the tornado in shat section, POINT OF DEVRLOPMENT, It made its frst appearance upon the plantation of pletely demolished every bouse on the place exceptn negro cabin. Asonot Mr. Grimmett, who was in the corn crib superintending the busking of sume corn, heard the roar and rush of the wind, and it is supposed he started to the dweiling house to protect his mother and his aunt, DEATH. Before he could reach the house, however, the fury ofthe storm had burst upon the place and he was struck by a piece of flying timber and instantly killed, The dwelling was completely demolished and a negro | man Killed by the falling timbers. The two ladies, toe gether with some children, were caught under the roof, but they were all rescued, DRVASTATION, ‘The houses on several other plantutions were utterly demolished, but, as far as heard from, there was no other loss of life. The tornado occurred early in the day, and it seems to be certain that it was the develop. ment of the disturbance predicted by the Heraip. ‘ COAL MINI GENERAL, REOPENING OF, THE COLIMIERIES IN THE WYOMING AND LACKAWANNA VALLEYS, (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD. ] Scrayxrox, Pa., March 12, 1877, Work will be resumed on full time next Thursday at the mines of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, the Delaware and Hudson and the Pennsylvania Coal | Company, being the three principal corporations en- gaged in the anthracite industry along the Wyoming and Lackawanna valieys.

In tho Third district, where Colone! Henry O. Kent (democrat) and Henry and close, | W.

To-day, therefore, strong efforts are being made by their supporters to postpone the election until a fature jon, when it is hopea | @emocratic stock may be again ata premium. General Gibson's trienas at Washington have telegraphed, urging this course, alleging that the election of a Senator at this juncture would embarrass President Hayes and seriously interfere with carrying out his Southern policy by giving to the Senate the power of deciding a question which would otherwise revert to bim: after its adjourament, These views are not, however, generally acquiesced in, A majority of the members of the iegisiature ure tired of delay and favor immediate action, The realization of the necessity of electing a repub- fican has brought several new names into the canvass, | Prominent among them ts that of Judge Wylie, of the tate Supreme Bench, and State Senator Wheeler, both of whom are moderate tn political views, Should election be precipitated the democrats will not, however, abandon the field, and it !8 tmpossible to tore. tell the result, Tho caucus met and adjourned over until hall-past | ten o’clock to-morrow, without taking further action, The extra session of the Legislature, which expires on Friday next, will be prolonged by a joint resolution, PRESIDENT HAYES INDORSED, The Nicholls Legislature to-day adopted the follow- ing: of the present Executivi rmination to Fi bur: mony to the people of the South by establishing y of pucilleation for one of coercion, and vy recognizing the to local self-government, federal Luterference ; theretore be {t it sembly will earnestly co-operate with President Hayes in and fraternal relations reat country niuence at 1g the whole people. end it pledzes all the power ‘0 the great objects as ~viz., to xuarAntHe prot fe, Iiberty sud property of every human being within their Jurisalc- ton, WHAT PACKARD SAYS, Governor Packard remains constantly at tho State House attending to such business as comes before | him, He stated to-day toa reporter that he had as full confidence as ever 1m the final success of bis goy- | ernment, but added :. 1 am annoyed at the persistence with which the most glaring misstatements ara repeated, eyen by journals usually well Informed, For instance, it seems to be widely pelieved 1 my legul claims to the ollice of Governor of Louisiana are based enurely upon the decision of the Returning Board, and that the constitutional provision requiring a canvass of the votes by the (enoral Assembly has not been strictly | complied with in this respect—that there were less thav a quorum of Senators present when that canvass was made, The provision of the constitution upon the subject 18 this:— Anniche 48, Returns of every election shetl be seated ap and transmitted by the proper returning officers to the Sece hall deliver then to spenker of the House of Képresentatives.

This call was presented to the directors on Saturday evening and w usly approved, thts evening being fixed upon as the time for the meetng. There | aro two things noticeable about the signatures to this call, In the trst place, they are the names of men who represent the best clement of the republican party—imon who lead public sentiment !n emergencies like the present; and, in the second place, although the call has been hanging up in the League House since Friday, it has not been signed by either office- holders or office-seekers, which would appear to sig- | nity that these classes hardly know which side it 1 politic for them to espouse When it comes to a fight tween the great Cameron clan of Pennsylvania and | the President of the United States, The meeting was a very large and enthusiastic one, speeches being made by Joha Welsh, Henry Arm Brown, Hon, Wayne MeVeigh and others of promi- fence in the party. “FATAL AFFRAY, vitis, Tenn,, March 12, 1877.

He ap- poared confident, and went whizzing around the track im an ensy, careless style that marks the accom- plished rider, yet withal modest and discreet. In May last, at Fleetwood Park, Pernito rode 155 miles in seven hours, and since then at Buffalo he accomplished 160 miles in eight hours, It was his purpose to uso all mustangs in the Journey now on hand, but it was !mpossible to procure them, so some ot his horses are not of much account, Samuel J, Carley, Charles E.

Peralto changed his bor! almost every mile, and reversed his direction around the track every two miles, Sevon turns are required ty make one mile, and it 1s @ simple calculation to show that the rider must muke 4,200 Circuits of the track before the six hundredth milo is scored, His (rst milo was made in 2:30, the sec. ond iu 2:35, the third in 2, the fourth tn 2:35, the fiith In 2:30, the sixth in 2:40, the seventh in 2:54, the eighth tn 5:02, the ointh in 2:40, and the 44, making the ten miles in 26m. 425. This distance he accomplished in good form, and seemed but little or none the worse for tho journey. Once or twice, while changing, he drank a small quantity of oatmeal water with apparent relish.
