A sensational despatch to the Standard, from Simla, says :—“Information has been received from various sources thut the Afghan troops are withdrawing from Candahar, the Ameer having publicly announced that Russia will occupy Candahar and Herat. The Governor of Candabar, how- ever, has punished agitators who endea- yored to rouse the populace against the English.” The Bombay Times of India says hopes are cn- tertained ut Simla of a peaceful solution of the Afghan difficulty, Itis supposed that Russia is exercising Pressure upon the Ameer with this object. The Ameer, moreover, despairs of success against the British. The commander-in-chief of the British forces has started for Peshawur. General Brown's vision, which is operating from Peshawur in the di- tection of the Khyber Pass, will strike the first blow if war is declared, MUTTERINGS IN EUROPE. ‘The resident Russian commander will leave Bucha- rest on the 27th inst. for Kischeneff.

The insurgents are well armed and provisioned. The Purks are confident of suppressing the insurrection if reinforcements arrive speedily.

REMINISCENCES OF THE FEVER. Rev. Mr. McCracken, of Grenada, Miss., in the course of an address delivered at St. Mark's Church last evening related the bitter experiences he had un- dergone during the pestilence of last summer, People in the North, he said, had but 4 faint idea of the terri- ble sufferings of their Southern brethren. In the preacher's little parish, first the members of the choir, then the organist, and finally one-half of the congre- gation and children of the Sunday school were lost, It became impossible at last to hold services. No church bell could be rung, a# the people were sick all around, and so one Sunday in. the Court House, the next week in the rooms of the Howard Associa- tion people prayed to God to deliver them from the plague. Finally Sunday came when there was not even time to hold services, as the sick and dying required preacher’s constant at tention, and the fearful fact that three out of every four whites died, made even the nurses despair. Many children died and were buried without the ledge of the sick parents, as the shock would have hastened death. In one family the reverend gen- tleman had seen three sisters buried one day after an ‘The fourth last, he had hoped, w but one morning when returnin ring place he act @ bearse with the daughter, making four funeral one family Th enough in t members who perished, BODIES WASHED ASHORE. e not windows: norials for all the VICTIMS OF THE LATE STORM RECOVERED, s ov. 9, 1878, No less than four dead bodies have been washed ashore on the banks of the Delaware within the past couple of days, allof which were evidently the re- mains of some of the many seafaring men who were wrecked and lost during the recent most disastrous and | unprecedentedly heavy storm, Late in the afternoon of to-day a skiff picked up the disfigured remains of a sailor at the mouth of the Brandywine Creek, and conveyed them to the steamer’s landing here, where they were identified a4 those of Peter Wilfong, who was lost off the oyster boat J.

IS STEWART’S BODY FOUND? About two o’clock this morning one of the police officials who has been actively engaged in working up the case stated as a positive fact that the detectives had at last succeeded in obtaining information relative to the whereabouts of the remains. ‘Lhe en- tire facts,” said this official to a Hen- ALD reporter, ‘will be made lic very soon. It is now only a question of brief time when the remains will be s<- cured. We have learned enough to indi- cate where the remains are hidden, and we are sure of being able to arrest the thieves.” pub- CAREER OF A NOTED CRDMINAL. EX-REPRESENTATIVE O'CONNOR, OF OHIO, AGAIN TO THE FRONT—-ARRESTED FOR FORGING A PENSION CERTIFICATE—SOLDIER, THIEF, CON- VICI, PENSIONER AND LEGISLATOR. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.} Dayton, Ohio, Nov. 10, 1878. John O'Connor, who became notorious in connec- tion with the last Legislature of Ohio, was arrested in this city at a late hour last night on an Uhited States warrant, charged with forgery. O'Connor was elected to the Legislature from the Soldiers! Home in this county. After the facts regarding his career a houscbreaker, ex-convict and bonnty jumper had been made known ‘he was forced to vacate his seat, He returned to the Home and was permitted to remain until the Board of Directors had taken action in his case, While at the Home he had been act- ing as claim agent, ahd being suspected of fraudulent transactions a special detective waa ap- pointed to work up the case, It was discovered that his own pension was cer- tifled by the forgery of a surgeon’s name, Dr. Leavitt, of Boston, the ostensible signer, denying that the signature was his. It is believed that other transactions of O'Connor as aclaim agent are also of & fraudulent character, * FLIGHT OF THE ACCUSED. O'Connor received information that he would be ar rested on this charge and left the Home two weeks: ago and could not be found, Yesterday it was ascertained that he was living on a retired street of this city, and the de- tective succeeded in making the arrest aud placing O'Connor in jail. ‘The case is regarded as a strong one against him and likely to give him ten years in the Peniten- tiary. Your correspondent visited him this morning at the jail, and in conversation O'Connor denied the charge, but stated that the great difficulty of his oxition was that the agent who procured hia pension ad since died, He is a man not over thirty, of strong Irish features, natural wit and capacity, but of little education.

THE WESTCHESTER WALKING CLUB ON JERSEY SOLL—FROM NEWARK £0 PATERSON, “Ten o'clock, stage starts! ten o'clock sharp!” roared Jehu from his seat on the Newark stage, as it drew up before a group near Taylor's Ho- tel, in Jersey City, yesterday morning. Every face was flushed with plcasurable anticipation ax the eye took in the blue expanse above, and a sharp breeze came over the river, freshening the air and invigorating ihe pedestrian. Be ten o'clock, the party were in line—all sturdy fellows, with the colors of the Westchester Walking Club NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, NOVEMBER il, 1878—TRiIPLE SHEET. pendant from the button hole and an inclina- tion expressed on every face to ply the sole | lively fashion, “Ton o'clock,” shouted the coach- man, and as he uitored the words the last of the club tumbled into the old-fashioned vehicle and the ride which preceded the walk begun. ‘Through the sparsely populated streets the coach moved rapidly, and out upon the highway, where the flavor of country air .and country scenery charmed the eye and nostril, ‘Then’ the Bergen hills were mounted and — descending the passage of the Passaid valley was begun. and what # cheerful, vollicking means of locomotion is this same old-time stage coach! ‘The snap of the whip, the shouts of the driver, the rumbling of the wheels, the very swing and jostle of its motion, has an enliven- ing effect. The long, straight road, entting through meadows, skirting hills and aweuping past all sorts of curious habitations, presents a thousand little po of interest. Then the cheery salute from th tayer, the curious faces in the rustic the ‘odd groups at lanes and byways, all a smack of ‘Merrie England” and the old- time coaching days about them. The brightness of yesterday morning's sunlight gave to the broad and somewhat monotonous stretches of meadow land an appearance pleasing if not very picturesque. The long dank grass, which has turned brown through the autwon days, trembled and swayed ax the bi e swept over it or in sportive eddies traced odd figures in its wide expanse. Down on the horizon. the workshops and dwelling houses, prosaic and co! monplace though they were, took strange, fantastic shapes against the blue of the sky, and, viewed in that clear air, really made picture. When the higher ground was reached, crack went the whip, the horses quickened their pace, and over @ half-dozen miles of country road the stage rumbled on till Newark was reached, and the club alighted to begin their walk. THE TRAMP BEGINS. Paterson was the terminus of the first stretch, and in that direction all turtied their faces, A glance at the city behind them, with its daily noise and bustle hushed in a Sabbath stillness, aud bat went the club over a good hard road, where a lively it could well be maintained. At two o'clock a of garden #) alegant resi vantage about ltered by clumps of trees and with ves perched it. Beyond this the country opens out and ‘offers to the eye a series of charming landscapes, ‘There the wind blew freshly ulong through a rich valley, with clusters of trees upon its brink and yellow’ cornfields and pastures sprewding over the slope. " The bes ri Gar water sparkles ripples under a line of “old fashioned w reflecting the shadows of the thick xbrubbery, now flowing dark and silent through tracts of woodland, and then pussing on to the open plain, where only the sky and clouds are mirrored in it. Past the residence of General Phil Kearney the club went. only a short stop being made at the entrance to the park where the dead warrior re- xided. ‘Theu the walk was taken ap and carried on ux far as the Belleville water works. ‘The ingenious contrivances by whieh Jersey City and Newark are watered were examined, and then the club passed over the Belleville bridge, looked through the town and passed a profitable quarter of an hour in its quarries. AT PATERSON, Then the walk was begun anow, and the banks of the Passaic were traversed till Paterson appeared in view. It ix too well known to need descrip- tion, but met every one is aware that the Passaic River tumbles over a steep descent almost in the heart of the town and supplies the place with a re- markable natural attraction. A:short stop at Paterson, a survey of its scenic and historical features, and the club started for New York well satisfled with the day’s sojourn on Jersey soil. WHO THREW THE LEADEN BALL? “While an Italian woman by the name of Diconio, living at No. 24 Oak strect, was nursing her little son, only seven wecks old, yesterday afternoon, 4 leaden ball was by some unknown person, and by some un- known process, hurled through the window. It struck the child in the breast, and the mother, fearing the little one was killed, raised such an outcry that the Italian colony in that quarter almost generated a riot. ‘The police were summoned and the mother and child were removed to the Chambers Street Hospital, es- corted by ahowling but sympathetic mob of from thirty to forty, who eke out their for- tunes by the vending of peanuts or the grind- ing of the noisome hand-organ. The physi- cian in attendance found that the injuries sustained by the child were not of such a character as to prevent the mother returning home with it, and it to that effect was issued. There were no out- ward signs of injury, and as the respiration and pulse of the boy were normal there was no reason why he should be kept in the hospital. BAD FOR THE Alfred M. Cox, the proprietor of a drug store at No. 1,128 Broad street, Newark, with three of his friends hired a coach yesterday morning at the livery stable of William H.

Mr. Cox being intoxicated was left in the coach while his three friends repaired to the saloon, On coming out they found that the coach had been driven off and, concluding that their COACHMAN, friend had got tired waiting, and —or- dered the coachman to drive home, they proceeded on their way to the Paisley House, at Twenty-eighth street and Sixth avenue, where they were all stopping temporarily.

THE NEW ITALIAN PARTY—ITS AIMS AND POLICY —-DANGER , ‘LO THE ITALIAN MONARCHY, {From the Pall Mall Gazette.) It is difficult, from the nature of the case, to gain for the purpose of publication precise information as to the composition of secret societies; and there are probably many persons who still believe that Lovd Beaconsticld’s celebrated utterance as to the part cret societies were playing in connection with the affairs of Eastern Europe had no foundation in fu Events, however, have proved that Lord Beac: fick’s statement was perfectly true, Different authors | of books on the subject of Bulgaria—some friendly | to the Bulgarians, like Mr, Barkeley: others avowedly hostile to them, like Captain Saint Clair, now of the Rhodope Mountains—agree in saying that the Bulga- rian insurrection which led to the notorious | massacres was the work of Bulgarian committees | sitting at Bucharest with the Russian Consul at that place (according to Mr, Barkeley) as one of the mem- | bers. The Bosnian and Herzegovinan insprrection, | ther with the movement in Servia, was, in a great re, the work of a secret society calling itself the Omladina, formed fer the purpose of promoting | South Slavonian interests in Hungary and in Turkey. ‘The Eduosti, founded at Trieste, is intrusted with the interest of the Slayonians living on the shores of the Adriatic, while the Slavonic committees of Moscow, St. Petersburg and Odessa (whose action has been secret, though the committees professed to be public associations) have for the lust three years made it their business to encourage Gisaffection and promote risings throughout the Slavonign provinces of ‘Tur- key, without excluding from their sphere of opera- tions the Eastern or Ruthenian portion of Galicia, REDEEMED UPALY" ND TTS FOUNDERS, ‘The yoongest of the secret political organizations is the society of the Italia Irredenta, or “unredeemed Italy,” which may possibly enough come into ec lision with the Slavonic society of Triesta, calling self the Omladina or Rejuyenescence; tor the Ednosti has recently shown itself disposed to support. the Austrian government—not for the sake of German interests, but in opposition to the projects of the Italians. The fact that the Austrian invasion of Bos- nia was accepted by the Italia Irredenta as a signal for | the series of demonstrations in varieus parts of Italy would seem to show that the new Italian | society is prepared to work with the Edu- osti, which co-operates with the Omladina, which in its turn is assisted by the Slavonic committees ot Kussia; and though they would afterward fall out among themselves, their ultimate objects being by no means identical, it might for a time suit the ‘unredeemed Italians," the South Slavo- nians, in their various branches, and the Russian Panslavists to nbine their ressources and their methods of action. Apart from the qnestion of or- ganization, not even the claims of the [talia Irredenta have yet been set out. An Italian correspondent, however, of the Temps, who has consulted official per- sons, such as Signori Cairoli and Zanardelli. and leaders of the opposition, such as Signor Crispi, ou | the subject, and who has visited Naples, the head- | quarters of the new agitation, has from these various sources collected some interesting particulars. The xavociation for recovering “unredeemed Italy” was, ! according to this correspondent, founded in 1377 ut Naples by General Avezzana, now cighty years of age. This officer took part in the insurrec- tions of 1820 and 1848, and was obliged in consequence to leave the country. In simplicity, good faith and perfect dixinterestedness he is said to resemble Gari- COMPOSITION, AUSTRIA AND mldi. He is comparativly moderate in his opinions and maintains even now tne most friendly personal relations with Cairoli and Zanardelli. Is secretary is Signor hnbriani, whose brother, a follower of Gari- , Was killed in 1871 under the walls of Dijon. Signor Imbriani, w! about forty years of age, has from the beginning been the right’ arm of General Avezzana in founding and directing the society which had for its nucleus a group of enthusiastic young men belonging, of course, to the extreme Party Signor Imbriani is the ‘socretary of the irecting committee and the principal moving power in the association, He resides at Naples with General Avezzana; but he has of late travelled about in all di- rections organizing and often presi@ing at meetings in favor of the Italia Irredenta. It was he who was to have taken thp chair at the important meeting of which Rome was the scene, had not Signori Cairoli and Zsnardelli insisted strongly on this honor: bein, reserved for Menotti Garibaldi, who was cot rred Jess independent in regard to the Cabinet than the un- attached persons belonging to the Neapolitan group. Menotti Garibaldi maintains, indeed, like his father, that although ihe cause of the Italia Irredenta is emi- nently a national one the time has not yet come for taking up arms. His brother, General Garibaldi, olds the same opinion on this point as Menotti and the futher. 2 PROGRAMME OF THE PARTY. ‘The Italia Irredenta made its first appearance in pub- lic last November, at the inauguration of the mon- ument raised to the victims cf Mentana, It was rep- ented on this occasion by Signor Imbriani, who aimed the restoration of the Trentino and of Trieste in presence of Cairoli and Zanardelli, at that time sim- ple Deputies and members of the committee for erect- ing the monument. Signor Cairoli himseif delivered a speech on the subject treated by Signor Imbriani, but only to say that “everything fell to those who knew how to wait.”” In April cad May, 1878, the Italia Irredenta acquired fresh importance through the res- olution taken by the Republican Congress of Rome to adhere to the society's foe ape ge Already, how- ever, the geographical ¢! of the Italia Irredenta had given rise to disputes among the members, some ot whom wished to absorb the whole of the Tyrol to the summit of the Rhetic Alps, and all the Triestine peninsula up to the crest of the Julian Alps. In a word the “frontier of the Alps” is what the advanced to section of the association demands. Accordin, their view the limits of Italian territory should be. On the side of the Rhetic Alps, Meran, Sterzing ai Brunecken, and on the side of the Julian Alps Idria, ‘Adelaberg and Fiume. ‘The party in general, however, ix less ambitious and would tent itself with the Italian Tyrol, properly #0 cal and the southern portion of the Triestine peninsula, in which alone the talian element prevails, It has occurred to the more moderate members of ‘the association that Germany might have views in this quarter in order some day or other to secure an outlet in the Adriatic, and they wish to avoid doing anything or claiming anything which might awaken the ill will of that Power. TES STRENGTH AND MODE OF ACTION. So much for the origin and object of the association, As for its strength and its mode of action the superior committee of Naples is in the first place in corre- spondence with 200 directing committees, “whose ex- istence,” says the correspondent, “has been demon- strated to me by written proofs.” To each of these 0 directing mittees a number of sub-committees are attached, the majority of these being established utre of Italy. Republican opinionsare, above all, represented in these groups; but the com- mittees include besides a good many royalists and other —members—scions ¢ of the old who are anxions to strike a blow for the national work of revindication. ‘This, the correspondent, ix to by explained by the that the one and exclusive “object of the Italia upletion of Italy ; and if the monar- take to obtain the rectification of frontiers demanded by the association, its republican members would adjourn voluntarily and for an indefi- nite time all questions of their political opinions. Ax to the method of action the superior committee of Naples declares that it has no confidence in diplo- macy, and that it feels the necessity of deciding at once what other means should be tak It con- siders that the favorable moment has not yet com but that preparations should be at once made for seizing the occasion when it presents itself, Accord. ingly Garibaldi is much occupied with a propaganda in favor of rifle clubs, which are to be ex- tablished everywhere, Twenty clubs for rifle practice have already been formed at Garibaldi’s rec- ommendation.

It was one of those days of a perfect autumn that ex-Mayor Ham, in obedience to his proposition to show us the old women as well as the old men of Lewiston, took our reporter along over roads unfre- quented, circuitous, implacable. By long search we were at last able to tind one woman who thinks she is. ally getting along in years. : We drive up to the Deacon's mansion, The good old Deacon long since was gathered to his fathers, The old house receives us through its immense kitchen inty a room in one side ot which is 9 smald brick kilu—the old brick oven. “Is the old lady at home #" The goodwite kindly receives us and notifies the old ludy that she is wanted, Ve soon a sprightly old lady in @ black cap and grandmotherly gown is pre sented to us, and if you please, kind reader, allow us to introd to you Mrs, Sally Wright, the oldest woman in Lewiston, indeed hardly ‘ever out of Lewiston in these’ ninety: two years siuee she was first ushered into this world and the wilderness of the Lewiston of the year of grace I Grandma takes a seat and smiles as the object of our visit is announced, “Until two ago,” says she, “Tused to fetch my rag car and homespun down to the county fair; but now I've got to be dreffal hard o' hearin’ and am blind 0’ one eye, and I've given up weaven’ h if Tcould see ald weave a& well as ever I “I was married in this house,” says the ex-Mayor, ‘The old lady laughed and intimated that she guessed there wouldn’t be any more weddings there at present. “Yes,” continued Sally Wright, ‘if live till the 15th o next July I shall be nin ree years old.

A CALIFORNIA WATER SCHEME. {From the San Francisco Chronicle, Oct. 29.} A new water scheme has been recently incorporated, to be known as the Los Trancos Water Company, whose object is to supply the city of San Francisca with water. The source of supply is the San Fran- cisquito Creek, near the junction of the Los Trancos Creek, on the eastern slope of the Santa Cruz Moun- tains. The proposed site for the reservoirs of the new Company is in the vicinity of Menlo Park, and the estimated ‘ity will be 23,832,000,000 gallons, which it is calculated will furnish a daily supply of 30,000,000 gallons, The new company claim That means of a conduit thirty miles long they can brin; water into San Francisco ut an elevation of 180 feet above the city base of levels. Careful estimates com- pute the cost of constructing substantial and te nent works, equal in capacity to those of the Valley Company, at $6,000,000, exelnsive of cont of land, A company has been organized, and the gen- tlemen composing the company —, determina- tion to commence operations immy ly.
