On Saturday morning the depression advanced from the region of the Western Gulf in a northeasterly direction toward Tennessee. It soon be- came central in the vicinity of Nashville, where, however, the pressure continued only a few tenths below the mean, On Sunday evening it began to develop considerable energy and the pressure fell de- cidedly, and a movement eastward to the coast commenced. During yesterday the course of the storm centre was along the castern side of the Alleghany Mountains and direetly over New York city. The rain area extended as far as the upper lakes and from Northern Florida to Nova Beotia along the const. The rainfall at New London was 2.36 inches, at New York 1.55, at Boston 1.56 and at Baltimore 0.99 inches during sixteen hours. ‘The wind was very heavy during the pussage of the storm. It attained its highest velocity at New York at 6:40 P. M. yesterday, being then at the rate of 48 miles an hour. West of the mountains the wind was light, but un the const it was extremely irregular and dan- gorous, Thus, when it was 32 miles at New | York it was only 8 at New London, 26 at Bos- | Halifax. An area of very high pressure is central off Nova Scotia, and tho buronictrio gradient is therefore very stecp towurd the northeast, which accounts for the high wind velocity. Another depression has adl- vuneed over the Platte Valley and an area of high over Manitobs.

The extra session of Congress having been decided upon it is natural to inquire what other business besides the Army Appropria- tion bill may properly be considered. The President, and even leading Congressmen of both parties, would gladly have avoided a called session, But since it is inevitable we hope the most will be made of it for use- ful purposes. The Army Appropriation bill will go through ina few days after the or- ganization, if on the 4th of June the troops shall have been withdrawn from South Caro- lina and Louisiana; otherwise it is not likely to pass at all. Assuming that the troops will be withdrawn and the Army Appropria- tion bill be passed without any delay, and as June is not a very sultty month, we hope that at least one other important subject will be acted on before the adjournment, We refer to the constitutional change recom- mended by President Hayes in his inau- gura! address. The summer session is likely to be short, because Congress will want to avoid the extreme heats of the capital,but it might be made very useful tothe country. We need some reforms for which preparatory meas- ures are necessary, and there are points of policy which would be the bet- ter for » preliminary discussion, which would facilitate wise action in the long winter session. There is one reform which Congress, in the extra session, could per- fect so Yar as it is concerned and for the snke of which alone we could wish that it might be called. We mean the passage of a constitutional amendment prohibiting the re-election of a President and making the term hereafter six years, President Hayes very wisely regarded this in his letter of ac- ceptance as an important measure toward a permanent reform of the civil service. He meant that by such a one-term amendment the President would be relieved from the temptation to scheme in his appointments for n re-election. He was quite right, and the public was pleased to see the same thought reappear in his inaugural message, We need not say that he has the support of the Hxnaxp in this matter. We have been urging this as a vitally necessary reform for several years, and we believe “‘if it were done, when ‘tis done, then ’twere well it were done quickly.” It cannot be done too soon. A French philosopher gave it as his opin- ion, after a long and careful study of mankind, that ‘‘most men are mortal,” and we can imagine that even President Hayes would feel freer in his dealings with public affairs if the subtle but powerful temptation to manage for himself a second term were constitutionally removed from him. No matter how he might avert his own gaze from it, his friends would not fail to suc- cumb to it, and his opponents would in- evitably accuse him or them of such schemes and thus probably embarrass him and fix a wrong interpretation upon acts in themselves blamelesr. We repeat, therefore, if there were no othor object to be attained by the call of an extr@session, it would still be desirable in the hope that the new Congress, fresh from the people, very nearly equally divided as to politics, and containing in both houses o larger number of able men than the last, would confer this benefit on the country of proposing to the legislatures of the States a one-term amendment. The friends of this measure may as well take notice that it will be much easier of adoption now, in the beginning of a new administration, than later on, when flatterers and syco- phants shall have gathered about the White House, and when, perhaps, political exigen- cies and changes may make this needed re- form less welcome to some of the political leaders on both sides, Nor ought it to be forgotten that the one- term amendment is important not merely for future, but for present reforms. It is a part and an essential part of that refor- mation of the civil service which the Presi- dent promises us and which all the interests of the country demand. That reform must be made by the present administration; if it is to last it must be so firmly fixed in the next four years that no President and no political party hereafter shall dare to go back to the old and vile system which has degraded the public service in all its branches, and whose abuses but lately threat- ened us with a new and terrible civil war, which was averted only by the common sense and self-restraint of the people and the moderation of the democratic leaders. The new President has started out well; he has gained his first victory over the ‘ma- chine” politicians; has got about him a Cabinet mainly, if not entirely, in harmony with his views on this vital ques- tion; has driven the political cormorants from Washington, and has, seemingly, sub- dued the Senate. But he doubtless remem- bers what the opponents of the reform do not forget—that he is still only in the first month of his administration. He effected a very clever surprise and certainly routed the army of place hunters in brilliant style. But the campaign is not over; it has not fairly begun, and he needs all the fortitude, all the tact and firmness which any man ever possessed, all the support the public will give him and the aid of all merely me- chanical contrivances, of which the chief and most important is a one-term amend- ment. It will be remembered that Congress has been called to meet on the 4th of June, Long before then the Southern difliculties should be settled, and thee new Congress should assemble with no sore spot, no vital constitutional or sectional ques- tion to disturb or embarrass its ac- tion, and ready therefore for wholesome and necessary legislation. Nothing more urgent will interpose to put off, the consideration of the one-term question. Both parties are committed to it. The President, no doubt, will urge it in a spe- cial message; the friends of the administra- | tion and its opponents will be able to unite together to frame and adopt it, and the leg- islatures of the States can confirm it early next winter and so get it out of the way for- ever by placing it in the constitution. There is other work for a special session, Thero are other measures which, doubtless, will come up for discussion, but none will ‘bo so important as this; none will be so wel- | over those in the Henatp ‘of the previous the peace of the country and the very exist- ence of onr institutions are exposed by the fierce and unscrupulous pressure for office, and which will rest more content when it sees the amendment safely through Congress, As an administration measure it cannot fail, for it can expect op- position only from the administration side. But as an administration measure it has the best chances of success while the present era of good feeling lasts, and at an extra session, where it will not be delayed or swamped by a multiplicity of other meas- ures, as would pretty surely happen if it did not come up before next December. We hope the President will strongly re- commend at the extra session the adop- tion of a one-term amendment. We hear a summer session objected to on the score ,of economy ; but there is nothing ; in that plea. The people will bear the bur- den cheerfully if Congress will give them this reform, because they will then see re- moved one of the most subtle, but one of the most dangerous obstacles to a genuine, thorongh and lasting reformation of the civil service, Stanley’s Nile Explorations. Another letter from Mr, Stanley is printed to-day. This letter is the most important contribution made toward the elucidation of the Nile problem since the announce- ment of the discoveries of the Albert and Victorin Niyanza, It advancgs one more step toward the conquest of the great secret. With the lacustrine character of the head waters of the Nile exhibited tolerably well | in what was known of the two great Niyanzas, Albert and Victoria, the main | problem appeared to be the determination of the source trom which their waters were derived in order that it might be known | whether the supply was such as would suffi- ciently account for the Nile as it exists between the Albert Niyanza and the entrance of the Blue Nile, or whether, the supply being deemed insufficient, it was necessary to continue the hunt for still other elements and parts of the gigantic system of water- shed by which old Nile, does his ample share in draining the great plateau of Cen- tral Africa, In the description given by Stanley last year of the Shimeeyu, a large river which seems to drain the western wall of the system of which Kilimanjaro is the highest point, great probability was added to the theory that the. Niyanzas, with their yet undiscovered affluents, would prove to | be ample sources of supply for the great stream. But in the present letter Stanley describes a hitherto unvisited feeder of the Victoria, compared to which the Shimeeyn is scarcely more thana trout brook. In the course of this river he also tinds a third Niyanza, or great reservoir. This stream, which he names the Alexandra Nile, and a lower portion of which has been called the Kageera on Stanley's former maps, flows through upward of three de- grees of longitude and two of latitude and drains about five square degrees, or eighteen thousand square miles. This great river discharges its waters into the Victoria, whence they go tu the Albert and so to the White Nile; and these three great Niyanzas, that are only so many successive ex- pansions and storage places of Nile water, with the stream that connects them and with their thousands of minor affluents drain an area of not less than seventy thousand square miles—a territory equal to one-third of France. This is a drainage that amply accounts for all the waters of the Nile, and the exploration of the Upper Alexandra Nile will leave little to be learned of the history of the great river. Inaspirit of geographical chivalry the hardy explorer has attached to the great river he is the first to describe and its atten- dant lake the nameof the Princess of Wales, and thus handsomely maintains the free masonry of the discoverers who derived the names of the other Niyanzas also from the English royal family. Spring Business and the Herald, There is no better barometer of trade than the advertising columns of newspapers. When business is really dull and the citizen puts a double strap upon his pocketbook, or carefully leaves his money at home, there is no one who knows of it sooner than the man who seeks trade by advertising. At such times’ the advertising agent may be selected at sight from a mixed assemblage; his deportment is as solemn as that of a preacher without a pulpit and his face de- hotes an internal demand for specifics against biliousness. Judged by the advertising columns of the Henaup, however, a marked improvement has suddenly taken place in business circles, In our paper of Sunday there appeared more than three thousand advertisements, show- ing on increase of nearly eight hundred, or about twenty-five per cent over the corre- sponding Sunday of 1876, and an increase of five hundred, or nearly twenty per cent, Sunday. Another significant fact is that tho circulation of last Sunday's Hyrarp—Sunday editions being bought as much for their advertisements as for their news—was about twenty-five thousand greater than on the corresponding Sunday of last year. Upon analyzing the increase we find that it is largely in the special departments of real estate (east and west side and in the central part of the city), houses and rooms wanted or to let, both furnished and unfur- nished, and property out of the city for sale, to let or to exchange for city property. The meaning of all this is that people feel | justified in changing their homes instead of making a virtue of necessity and remaining where they have been. Should this increase of advertising con- tinue the Henatp will find i¢ impossible to | put into a quadruple sheet—sixteen pages—- | all the advertisements that are offered and | the news of the day besides, A quintuple sheet will probably be necessary next Sun- day to meet the exigencies of our business. We are determined that no pains shall be spared in our endeavors to bring advertisers and readers into communication with each other, and we hail with satisfaction these positive proofs that confidence is indeed | | power. Wendell Phillips’ A: ie Pr: dent Hayes and His Cabinet. We print one of the most piquant efforts of this vituperative orator in the report of his speech, or lecture as he calls it, deliv- ered in Philadelphia last evening. We do not know how Mr. Phillips could have put his brilliant talents as a termagant to a bet- ter use than he has done in this bitter arraignment of the new President, his Cabi- net and his policy. Despite his extravagant rhetoric Wendell Phillips is not a fool. He is as keen a judge as any outsider of what President Hayes means, His lam- pooning tirade attests his full belief in the President's sincerity. Those friends of the South whose faith has begun to waver, in consequerce of Mr. Hayes’ slowness and seeming hesitation, will be encouraged when they find that men like Wendell Phillips have given him over, and that their rage carries them beyond all bounds of civility and decency. This invective of Mr. Phillips’ will be read, as everything he delivers is certain to be read, because its liveliness and pungency make it at- tractive to lovers of scandal, who are o majority of every commu- nity. It will help the President ond his public estimation, for the extravagance of. its abuse is self-refuting in respect to the particular charges, and the hostile animus it betrays is a conclusive proof of the de- spair of its author. If men like Garrison and Phillips praised the President, or even attempted to coax and wheedle him, the doubts of his sincerity might deepen into belief; but when these men are seen to pour out all their vials of wrath and vituperation on his head, it is evident to everybody that they, at least, think him in down- right earnest in the policy he has announced, The way in which Mr. Phillips singles ont every member of the Cabinet for personal disparagement and libel is the most satisfactory comment which has yet been made by anybody on the fitness of the President’s advisers for carrying out the policy he has adopted. If they pleased Wendell Phillips they could not possibly please rational, considerate men. The President should regard Mr. Phillips’ in- continent invective as the highest compli- ment and the best tribute to his sincerity which has been paid him in any quarter. Whose sentiments does Wendell Phillips reflect? Not those of the country at large ; not those of the better class of republicans i not those of Frederick Douglass and other trusted representatives of the colored race, but only those of a squad of rabid fanatics and interested carpet-baggers. Packard, Chamberlain and their satellites arc the only persons of any political consequence who will read this speech of Phillips with approbation and relish, and oven they will not dare to avow their approval. They will merely roll it, as wicked people are said to do sin, ‘‘as a sweet morsel,under their- tongues.” Phillips truly expresses what Packard thinks, Packard would say the same things of the President and Cabinet if he dared. He may possibly dare when his hopes are utterly prostrated, but for the present he is muzzled by his sense of interest. The President may seo what | Packard thinks if he will read what Wendell Phillips says. The Mormons. Tho government has now the best oppor- tunity ever presented for solving the Mor- mon, question without giving any color toa charge of religious persecution. To punish an atrocious crime is one thing, to persecute a religion is quite another. It may be pos- sible to extenuate polygamy by pleading the example of the patriarchs, but there can he no pretext for consecrating treachery and murder. It would be absurd to pretend that John D. Lee was the only Mormon responsible for the Mountain Meadows massacre. He had a large body of accomplices who were with him on the ground and stuined their hands with innocent blood, and other more-cau- tious but not less guilty accomplices who, while instigating the massacre, exerted all their cunning to screen themselves from de- tection. So far as they can be identified and their crime proved they should all suffer alike. There was no justification for taking the life of Lee which does not make ita duty to hunt down and punish his ac- compliees. If Brigham Young was the chief accomplice he, above all the rest, should be made to feel the severity of the law. The presumption of his guilt does not rest merely on Lee's confession, although that alone is strong evidence, but also on the nature and consti- tution of the Mormon hierarchy and tho position of Brigham Young as its directing head. Itis one of the most absolute des- potisms that ever existed. None of his subordinates would have dared to take so important and compromising o step as the massacre without fall assurance of his sanc- tion. With the craft and cunning in which he is so great an adept he took pains to mask his agency in that diabolical crime, but his complicity after the fact is estab- lished by clear evidence, and it is mor- ally certain that he instigated the crime which he took infuriate pains to shield from exposure and punishment. The pro- sumption against him is so strong that he ought to be immediately indicted and put ‘on his defence. If the Mormon leaders are made to pay the just penalty of their crimes the aggressive intolorant fanaticism by which the community is distinguished will slacken for want of energetic directing The Mormon community will be in the condition of an army which has lost all its generals. It will afterward make but a feeble resistance to the enforcement of wholesome laws, and in less than ten years the Mormons will be as tractable citizens as the members of any other religious sect. There is now an excellent opportunity to bring them into subjection to the laws with- out meddling with their bastard religion. We trust the prosecuting officers may receive such directions from Washington as they cannot neglect or disregard. It is high time that this foul ulcer were dissected ont of the body politic.

The Gover- bly the bill in relation to the Superintend- | i |,nor contrasts very happily the virtuous declarations uf the Legislature against par- tisanship with its acts when he points out, in connection with the provision that the Superintendent shall not be appointed for party reasons, how completely his nomination recently made was rejected for such reasons and none other. In regard to this office the majority of the present Senate puts itself in a factions and merely plundering attitude of hostility to the known will of the people of the whole State. It has been decided by the people in a constitutional amendment that the old canal government shall give way tos new system under an officer ap- pointed by the Governor; but tie canal robbers have strength enough in the Senate to'sustain themselves in defiance of the law. “Suaviter in Modo, Fortiter in Re.” We would fain believe, and, indeed, our latest information gives us considerable en- couragement to believe, that this trite Latin maxim, which Lord Chesterfield was never weary of repeating in his celebrated letters to his illegitimate son, is the guiding prin- ciple by which President Hayes seeks to regulate his administration, To combine a conéiliatory manner with inflexible steadi- ness of purpose—for this is the meaning of the maxim—is, no doubt, the golden rule of cultivated social intercourse ; but whether it equally applies to official conduct may admit of some question. Yet, with the example of Abraham Lincoln and the warn- ing of Andrew Johnson before him, Presi- dent Hayes may be excused for thinking the suaviter in modo almost as essential as the fortiter in re. ‘The suaviter of Mr. Lincoln Was as unique as it was genial, his jovial disposition and broad humor being more effective and popular than any possible courtliness of manners. He carried ‘his points with the least possible friction. Long after his mind was made up on the emancipation question he seemed to toy with the subject and tried the patience of the ardent abolitionists by his apparent hesitation and real procras- tination. But he satisfied expectation at last and the conciliatory mildness of his methods was a means of success. His suc- cessor, Andrew Johnson, who had all the fortiter in re without any of the suuaviter in modo, accomplished nothing beyond keep- ing himself in constant hot water. If Mr. Hayes prefers Lincoln’s method to John- son’s it is not discreditable to his good sense. If the hesitation is merely in his manner and not in his purpose the country will be well enough satisfied with him at last. We are certain of the suavity, but as yet we are compelled to take tho firmness on trust. But we are assured, on what we regard as good authority, that Mr. Hayes has not wavered an instant in his determination to withdraw the troops, and is only taking what he deems necessary precautions against any disturbance of tho peace when the two States are left to them- selves. His policy, as explained by those who have the best opportunity for knowing it, is to get rid of Chamberlain and Packard, if possible with their own consent. If they can be persuaded or induced to retire, the withdrawal of the troops will be attended with no hazard; and the President thinks this would be preferable to leaving the rival governments to put them out by force. If this be the theory on which he is acting we of course wish him success. The country will pardon almost anything except an aban- donment of his purpose; but we are by no means convinced that this is one of the cases in which the ‘furthest way round is the nearest way home.” We do not think, however, that the annoying delay is neces- sarily fatal to the President's policy. The prospect is tolerably good, as we judge, that Chamberlain will consent to re- tire, and it is possible that the mode of dealing with him will convince Packard that he has nothing to gain by standing out. The voluntary withdrawal of both would be the best of possible solutions, and if Mr. Hayes succeeds in accomplishing this his course will need no subsequent apology. If Chamberlain and Packard throw up the sponge the question of the troops will cease to be of any consequence. Since the friends of the President aver that this is the aim of his policy no true friend of the South will do anything to obstruct its success. But if it fails it will be bad for Mr. Hayes.

THE An Alliance Threatened Which May Settle the Protocol Without England’s Assent. MASSACRES IN HERZEGOVINA Talk of Peace, But Universal. Preparations For War. THE POPE’S TEMPORAL POWER. (BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.] Loxpox, March 27, 1877. Private intelligence now comes from Vienna that General Ignatieff is now trying to revive the allianco of the three Emperors and induco them to solve the question of the protocol without the assent of Eng. Innd; ang that this is the reason for his unexpected resolve to return via Berlin. This impression is strengthened by the assertion that Count Andrassy, who bas maintained extreme reserve during the nogo- tations between London and St, Petersburg, may now possibly act as mediator, Discussing the various offolal hints from St. Peters, burg that 't 18 now necessary to re-cstablish the im, perial alllanco in view of the failure of a European understanding, a Vienna correspondent remarks that if this really is General Ignaticfi’s object his suc- cess may not be much greater in Vienna than to Londov., If Ignatiefl’s mission 1s to obtain uncondi- tional neutrality, {t may be feared nis object can scarcely bo attained, With the many contingencies which war: so. close to her frontior might produce, Austrian can hardly remain under all circumstances an tndifferent spectator, If, on the contrary, Russia should seck for mediators between her and England on‘ the question of disarmament, then, perhaps, the triplo alliance may come to the foroground, as it seoms St. Peters. burg believes it ought to do, Although Count Andrassy may not object to sign the Loudon protocol without a certainty of English sup. port, and although he may even be tnditced to revyort to the Berlin memorandum should Russia urge such a step, he is very unlikely to enter into any arrangements relating to war. He is, on the contrary, disposed to mediate he- tween Turkey and Montenegro and between Russia and England. There was a panic on the Berlin Bourse Monday, but tho news of Austrian mobilization hag revived the tailing hopes of peaco, TURKEY MORE UNSETTLED THAN EVER. In Bosnia the Turkish redifs aro all under arms and the national militia are being armed andarilled. A special commission of officers and surgeons has been appointed to sev that no person liable shall avoid mill. tary service, Tho militia have received Snider rifles from Constantinople, and in the districts of Tuzla, Grashsitza, Bellina, Zwornik and Brackzka they have progressed so far as to competo with the redif reserves in drilling. The Serajevo official journal publishes a list of contributions to the war fund made by tho Mohammedan population. Money, shoes and Lorses are given totho authorities for the use of the newly mobilized militia, and camp equipage !s held ready for use shoula they he called out for active service, The Ulemars and dervishes continue to excite a warlike feeling by ‘fanatical addresses. Insurgent bands aro appearing in hithorto undisturbed districts, and, os the weather is becoming mild enough to make life in the mountains endurable theso bands will reccivo large accessions from tho rayah population who are driven to desperation by the misrole of the officials, Letters from Bosnia and Bulgaria assert that the tax gatherers exact tithes twice—a second batch of extortioners declaring the first wore unauthorized. The general tone of all letters received from the provinces gives the impression that nothing is doing towards reform. The confusion is becoming more aggravating every day in consequence of the pressure of the military burden. “The Turkish government ia tottering,” says a Times Belgrado correspondent, ‘‘and it will require something much more efficacious than ‘an indefinitely worded diplomatic document to produce any improvement in the condition of the population.” PRACK TALK. The Neue freie Presse of Vienna states that although the alliance of the three Emperors will continue, not- withstanding the protocol negotiations, it will only be on its original basis, The idea of co-operation with Russia never existed, The alliance was formed rather to prevent than to facilitate intervention.
