TELEGRAPHIC NEWS From All Parts of the World. ee AFGHANISTAN THE WAR. Progress of the British Invasion. CHINESE IN AUSTRALIA. 1 [Bx CABLE TO THE HERALD.] Loxpvox, Novy. 25, 1878. A despatch from Lahore says it is believed the Greater part of the yarrison of Ali Musjid were taken prisoners, Major Cavagnari tele- Braphs that the hill tribes have intercepted 500 Afghan soldiers and deprived them of their arms and ¢lothing. ‘The Standard’s correspondent with the Khurnm column telegraphs as follows: “The headquarters of the column is now at Hazara- pir. Information has been received that the garrison of Fort Mohammed-Azim, twenty miles ahead, will probably evacuate and destroy the fort. General Roberts has just decided té push on by forced marches, and endeavor to surprise the place and-pre- vent its destruction.” RUSSIA WATCHING CHINA. Advices from Orenburg state that the Russian Fort Naryn has been strongly reinforced in consequence of the concentration of Chinese troops on the frentier and the reported pacification of Khotan. ‘Lhe prin. cipal insurgents of Khotan have fled into Russian ter- ritory. It is said the Chinese have murdered the . Youngest son of Yakoob Beg. - AUSTRIA AND TURKEY. The Turkish Council of Ministers has discussed the question of permitting Austria to occupy Novi-Bazar. The Minister of War favors the retention of three principal strategical points: the other Ministers only desire an. arrangement formally binding Austria to @acuate them in the event of an emergency. The Finance Committee of the Austrian delegation, despite the persuasions of Count Andrassy, have re_ fused to discuss the supplementary credit to meet the expenses incurred in the occupation of the Turkish provinces, alleging that Parliament has not yet sanc- tioned the occupation. The probable gonsequence of this refusal is that the session of the delegation will be adjourned and the Reichstath summoned to meet immediately. : STRIKE OF SEAMEN. A despatch from Sydney, New South Wales, dated November 24, says there is an extensive strike of seamen here against the cmployment of Chinamen on board ships. THE ITALIAN MONARCHY.

The return of King Humbert and Queen Marguerete irom Naples was made the oc- casion of a grand ovation by the pegple of Rome. Their majestics arrived at the cap- ital on the Naples Railway promptly. at three o'clock. ‘the weather was de- lightful and the trip had been made under the most enjoyable circum- stances, The Eternal City was in its gayest festival dress, flags and flowers, evergreens and bunting, being found on all the streets. The railway station was a mass of fluttering banners. Their Majesties were accompanied from Naples by Signor Cairoli, the presi- dents of the Senate. and Chamber of Depu- thes and. several Ministers, and were wel- comed at the station by all the members of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies, the civil and military authorities, sixty guilds and workmen's associations, with flags and bands.

The King, Queen, Prince of Naples fha the Duke of Aosta (ex-King Amadeus of Spain) and Signor Cairoli occupied an open carringe, drawn by six horses magnificently caparisoned. Oarriages belonging to the suite of their Majesties and to the many distinguished members of the nobility who met them at the station, swelled the cortége to great length. All then drove to the Quirinal, through a double line of troops. Hundreds of officers walked beside the vehicle of the King. The windows of the houses along the route were filled with people, and stands for spectators erected at all the street crossings were trimmed with flowers and crowded with enthusiastic citi- gens, who screamed themselves hoarse. PRESONAL APPEARANCES, King Humbert looked well and seemed delighted with his triumphal re-entry of the city. He was dressed in the uniform of s general, which he is entitled to wear, Queen Marguerete looked charming, though atrace of anxiety was observable in her face, She was attired in white silk. After reaching the palace a great crowd gathered before the main entrance and cheered until the King and Queen appeareéll on a balcony.

Redmond, the merchant who fled from Nashville last Wednesday under very suspicious circumstances and to esvape indignant creditors, was seized by Ward blake, representative of Carrick, Calvert & Co., of Boston, and another young’ man, repre- senting a Nashville house, as he stepped off the train from Chattanooga at Tullahoma at two A. M. to-day, carried out of the town and pleced under the surveillance of two men until Blake could come to Nashville and consult lawyers relative to Redmond’s capture. When they took charge of him Redmond turned as pale as a sheet. He told them he had baggage in the sleeper, and they followed him into the car. Redmond grew angry, and asked if they could not trust him far enough ive go into the coach. The response was, ‘‘No, uot a foot.” THE CAPTORS RETICENT. ke refused to-night, when asked, to tell exactly where Redmond had been carried, lest his plans might be thwarted. He said, however, that mond was not at Tullahoma, but that he had him where he could lay his hands upon him at any moment. I learned to-night from the sleeping car conductor who took Redmond into Chattanooga Thursday morning that Redmond got on the train at Murfreesboro, thirty miles distant from Nashville, the evening previous, having evidently been driven there in a hack. LARGELY IN FUNDS. While the conductor was out of the car and the porter was rearranging the bunks on Thursday morning, at Chattenoogs, Redmond. spread roll after roll of greenbacks out on @ car table until there were stacks of them two inches in thickness, com of five, ten, twenty, fifty, and perhaps one hundred dollar bills, while at the same time his pockets were Joaded with silver, As soon as the conductor stepped on the platform of the car with a view to re-entering it Redmond grabbed ay the money he had been indus- triously counting and stuffed it into his pockets. He never let his valise out of his sight. It is believed that he has between $8,000 and $10,000 on his person and in his valise. SUICIDE OF A YOUNG FARMER. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) WHEELING, W.

The carpenters have shore to-morrow. been engaged upon the arches and the decorations during the entire day, and the result is the city is embellished in s manner never before attempted. Public building’, business houses and privaie dwell- ings are one grand maes of evergreens and banuers, arranged in every conceivable style. Quite a number of handsome arches span tho principal thorough- fares, decorated with appropriate mottocs. VISITS OF COURTESY. ‘The Sarmatian, with Lord Lorne and the Princess Louise on board, has stuck to her last night's anchor- age, where, at an early hour this morning, Admiral Inglefield, who is in charge of the ficet here, pro- ceeded in his boat to call upon the Marquis and Her Royal Highness the Princess Louise. The Lieutenant Governor and his aides-de-camp, Sir John Macdonald, the premier and his lady went soon after: VISIT TO THE BLACK PRINCE. Toward noon the steam pinnace from the Black Prince, bearing the Duke of Edinburgh, arrived, and after a time it returned with the Duke on board, ac- companied by Lord Lorne, the Princess Louise and the Hon. C. Harvard, aide-de-camp. Between five and six P.M. the pinnace returned to the Sarma- tian, whence the formal landing of the’ Marquis and Princess, accompanied by all the formalities and show which have been foreshadowed, will take place to-morrow. "The city is crowded with curious and loyal people, and there is a prospect of a lively gud costly fes- tival.

WasHinctos, Nov. 24, 1878. AROUND THE WORLD BY MAIL—EXCELLENCE OF THE INTERNATIONAL MAIL SERVICE, A striking iustration of the extent and excellence of the arrangements for international mail service which have resulted from the postal union is given in an official publication received by our Superin- itendent of Foreign Mails from the Berne Central Wureau. A resident of Chemnitz, Saxony, mailed at that place at seven P. M. on the 24th of May last a postal card addressed to himself, car- rying request to all postmasters to despatch it successively and without loss of time to Alexandria, Singapore, Yokohama, San Francisco and New York, and thence to Chemnitz, his object being to win a wager that with the existing postal arrangements the circuit of the world could thus be made by postal matter within 120 days, ‘Che request was complied with, and the card arrived in Chemnitz from New York on the 117th day after the date of original mailing, The Postmaster Gencral of Ger- many has cansed this card to be photographed, and transmitted a copy to the Berne International Bu- reau, with the remark that, had it been posted one hour earlier it would have accomplished its journey in 96 days instead of 117. LOST OF UNREDEEMED BANK NOTES. The Comptroller of the Currency in the concluding portion of his annual report, just completed, says, in regard to lost or unredeemed bank notes: 7 belie? is ve ally entertained that a con, siderable portion of irculating notes of each na: tional Dunk will ultimately be loat or destroyed, and will therefore never be presented for redemption. It inalso frequently stated that, the loss of such notes inures to the benetit of the banks. Neither supposi- tion is correct. Section 5,222 of the Revised Statutes requires that all national banks which go inte volun- tury liquidation shall, within six months there- after, deposit. in the Treasury an amount of lawful money equal to the amount of their ciren- lating notes outstanding. The law also requires that full provision shall be made for the redemption of the cirenlating notes of any insolvent bank bef any dividend is made to creditors, Thus it will be seen that no association can close up its business without first providing for the payment of all of its circulating notes, and that the ‘amount deposited must remain in the Treasury until the last outstand- ing note shall have been presented. It is therefore plain that the government and not the bank receives ll the benefit arising from lost or unredeemed circu- ‘ating notes, THE ALLEGED SOUTHERN OUTRAGES-—A PROMI- NENT FEATURE IN THE PRESIDENTS FORTH- COMING MESSAGE—-THE REMEDY FOR THE REPORTED WRONGS. In his forthcoming Message the President will make the reported outrages and violations of law in the South during the late Congressional elections a prominent topic of comment. These violations will be condemned as forcibly depriving a large num. ber of citizens, in specified localities, of rights conferred by both national and State authority, thus preventing the results expressive of their will in the administration of public affairs. Such procecdings will te further deprecated because they indicate that the pacification of the Souti is not yet complete and because they cast reproach upon and endanger the integrity of free institutions. ‘Che subject will be earnestly presented to the consideration of Congress for such action as the circumstances demand, with a view of. preventing a recurrence of such wrongs and to secure an absolute exercise of the right of suffrage. Owing to the decision of the United States Supreme Court that the enforcement act was unconstitutional, it not being in specific ac- cordance with the constitutional amendment, and the failure of the House in the Forty-third Congress to pass the Senate bill designed to meet the judgment of that tribunal, there is no law to punish a class of cases affoct#¢ colored men which the act was in- tended to reach, The law relaffve to the election of members of Congress, however, affords a remedy for some of the reported wrongs—inflicting # fine of $500 and imprisonment for one year on any person found guilty of illegally preventing or-obstructing the free exercise of voting, and a fine of $5,000 and imprison- morrow @ public holiday. There is a prospect of fine weather now. PREPARATIONS FOR THE RECEPTION IN MONTREAL. MontResL, Nov. 24, 1878.

Startling Discoveries in a County Poorhouse. - IN SUB-CELLAR == DUNGEONS. LUNATICS Sad Scenes of Suffering Shown by an Investigation. How the Authorities Have Been Deceived. EAE Er * [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD,] Syracuse, N. Y., Nov. ¢ At the session of the Board of Supervisors last fall Acommittee was appointed on county buildings, whose duty it was to make an examination into the management of the various institutions | in its province. A sub-committee, consisting of Supervisors Chase, Mason and Eastwood, was chosen | to visit the County Poorhouse, located at Ouondago | Hill, near this city. This committee proceeded to the Poorhouse and entered the institution without a word of warning, taking the keeper unawares, and theu inspected the asylunf fur insane paupers with- out discovering anything of a startling nature. A STARYLING DISCOVERY, ‘i After passing through the upper parts of the build- jng they continued their tour of investigation and descended into a sort of sub-cellar ef tho build- ing. Here a sight met their gaze and a state | of afairs was discovered that they were totally unprepared for and that utterly astonished them. In this cellar, which was dark as night, with a stray gleam of light occasionally struggling through crevices and slight openings, were found five pens, constructed of heavy plank, with plank doors, that had a small aperture in the cellar. The doors were un- locked and opened in obedience to the committee's demand. The rays of their lanterns were thrown into the interior, and there, crouched in straw upon the floor or grouped shuddering in the,furthest cor- ners, were nakedandhalt-clad human beings who had been left there in abjéct misery and despair by their keepers, HORRIBLE CRUELTY. The stench that arose from these dungeons was of the most repulsive and sickening character, and the atmosphere was stifling. There was no light, no ven- tilation, no sanitary conveniences. In one cell lay a man stark naked. The bottom of the cell was covered with filth, and the straw upon the floor was dirtier than that in the hogpen attached to the poor house. Startled and dazed by the gleam of light from #lan- tern that penetrated the cell, the miserable and abject human being started up on his knees, clasped his hands and chattered. and mumbled forth some in- coherent sounds. His shrunken cheeks, hollow eyes, sunk deep in their Kockeis, and his emaciated, feeble form told of the shameful and degrading treatment this poor, helpless. humau_ being had been subjected to in being immured in # durk, loathsome and dirty, filthy dungeon. . Another cell contained a negro whose, condition was like that of the poor being de- scribed above, with the exception that he could occa- sionally convirse in @ coherent manner. ‘ A MODEL KEKPER. ‘The doors of the cells were made of heavy plank and in the centre was small aperture through which food and water was probably passed to the inmates. Aroused by the voices of the committee some of the poor lunatics thrust their heads out through these apertures and, beheld the persons out- side with bewildering wonder. ‘These poor beings, abandoned as they were, had_a keeper apparently in the person of one James Hall, an inmate of the County House, whose vocation when out in the. world: had been to take care of horses, manage cock fights and train bulldogs. Thesolection of such a man for keeper was appropriate, ‘The Committee of the Zupervisors wero able to re- main but. a short time in the cellar. ‘The air wes infected with the vile offluyia and they were forced for Mode to beat a hasty retreat. The doors were locked on the poor abafidoned wretches and they.were left as they were found in a forlorn and hopeless condition. ABANDONED LUNATICS, When questioned in regard to the discovery made ¢ by the committee the keeper stated that he was com- pelled to construct these dark dungeons as the cells. in. the insane asylum above were overcrowded and he no other place to ut the he insane found in. them. Leas le stated that the straw on the bottom of the cells was removed every day and fresh straw was placed on the floor and’ that the cellx were kept as clean as possible, Many of the unfor- tunate beings who are sent to the County Insane Asylum are totally abandoned their friends when once they have been committed to the care of the keepers. The keeper of these dungeons admitted that the Board of Supervisors had never seen them, and did not know. of their existence. When asked why they had not been shown to the Supervisors, or why they had not been informed of their existence, the official replicd that “It smelled bad down there and he did’not suppose the Super- visors wanted to see such things.” WHY THE SECRET WAS KEPT. The reeult of the discovery above detailed has been kept a profound secret until Saturday, when the facts were learned, A report will doubtless be made to the Board of Supervigors. Year after year the Board of Supervisors have made their unnual visit to the Poorhouse and the halls of the buildings and the floors have been xerubbed, scrupulously cleaned, in anticipation of their coming. The inmates have been dressed in their holiday suits and have been drilled to smile and look happy and contented in the presencé of the dugust Board. Gorged with turkey and a ae or stuffed with yoose and wine trimmings, Board has been content to make only & superficial in- spection of the institution, without delving down into. the hidden. secrets of the cellars, The keepers have not been anxious to show them things that. would be wo revolting as to spoil their dinners and acoat of whitewash has generally con- cealed from public view all the objéctionable features of the management of the iustitution.

He studied for the priesthood in Alleghany College, in this State, and was ordained seven years ago by Bishop yan, of Buffalo, in the College of Our Lady of Angels, in charge of the Fr ciseans, at Niagara. His first labors in the mission were in the Church of St, Charles Borromeo, in Brooklyn, as assistant to the Rev. Dr. Fret, and after remaining in that church nearly two years he was appointed pastor = in Loug Islend City. He removed the wooden structure in which his congregation worshipped to 4 more suitable location, a distance of half a mile, and added some important extensions. He contracted a malarial disease which is quite prevalent in the dia- trict, and this becoming chronic was attended during tue past few months by ‘congestive chills, By the advice of his physician he made a tour of a few days k, visiting a friend in Rome, in this Siate, hischurch on Saturday morning. He nained there attending to his flock half-past five in the afternoon when he was attacked with 2 congestive chill, fol lowed by vomiting, and he sent into the yard adjoin- ing his residence for his servant. ‘The latter arrived fifteen minutes xfterward only to find the priest lying at the foot of tho basement stairs in the throes of dissolution, his beretta or cap lying at his left side, and his breviary, from which he had been reading Ins ttice, clutched in his right hand. Medical aid was wamoned, but without avail, and he expired after a short time. Bishop Longhliv on being apprised of the sad event at once detailed the Rey, Father Toner, ot the Church of the Star of the Sea, in Court street, to take temporary charge of the parish, Father Crinuning, pastor of St. Mary's, in Long Island City, is also lending his aid to perfect the arrangements for the solemn requiem mass and 1, whiclewill take piace on Wednesday morn- ing. Hia sudden demixe has created a wide- spread xenso of regret throughout Long Island City. Father O'Brien was @ sman of fine rted_ disposition ry social circle, His un- bounded gencrosity toward the necdy and suffering will be most remembered by the congregation to whom he ministered so faithfully. HENRY T. DARLIN IN. A despatch from Doylestown, Pa., reports that Henry T. Darlington, editor and proprictor of the Buckstown Intelligencer, was stricken with paralysia yesterday and died at an early hour this morning. {From the London Daily Telegraph.) As winter approaches the busy and picturesquely situated town of Dundce is full of excitement. Day by day news is sought concerning the fleet which months ago set sail for the North Seas in search of rich cargoes of whalebone and oil, and many a hope is uttered that the gallant fishermen who have left their homes at Broughty Ferry and other little villages on the shores of the Tay will specdily return with abun- dant spoil. Then there comes a telegram from the extreme headland of Scotland, telling something ot the success or failure which the Dundee men have met with, and shortly afterward the ships themselyes vailin with their weather beaten crews. This year, unhappily, the story which the whalers bring ‘back is very wad. Already the fine xhip Arctic, com- manded by one of the most enterprising sea- men afloat, has arrived with lamentable intel- ligence, Smith’s Sound has this year proved full of ice. Even Melville Bay, where in times gone by the whales have been most plentiful and the sport most xatiafactory, has been completely blocked by the terrible floe. In attempting to reach that accustomed bourne the good ship was well nigh destroyed, and only contrived to escape by the aid of gunpowder and the saw, while, to crown all, the few whales which had been seen at’all were wild and difficult to ap- proach. No more capa | tale could be told, und the sadness it will bring to many a Scotch home during what promises to be a severe winter cannot easily be estimated. The ships which went out to seck the whale were manned by large crews, and every one of these gallant fellows hud a certain inter- est in a successful season. If the fates were Bro itious: he and his family, from whom he ad been separated all through the long summer, and for whom he had braved unknown dangers, would be happy until the spring time came ovce more; if the year proved un- lucky, there would be but little food in the pot and but poor comfort in the honse, the bare pay of a whaler’s seaman being insufficient to maintain de- cently the kith and kin of gn unfortunate sailor. The worst has proved to be the lot this year of the Dundee fishermen. Almost empty ships have returned to Scotland, and the gallant sailors have to share the lors which is sustained by the owners of the vensels. Captain Adams has only one fish on board his great steamer; the Jan Mayen brings but two; and, aa for the rest of the flotilla, four vessels bring one whale apiece, and there the record ends. Nor is this the whole of the calamity, for such it must be considered if its results be rightly estimated. The Camperdown, aa brave @ little ship as ever weathered an Arctic sea, has been caught in the embrace of the treacherous icv, crushed to pieces and lost, though, happily, the captain and his crew were saved, Well may Dundee be gloomy at the reception of such news from the frozen North, A.—TO LET A COLD HAVE ITS OWN WAY ISTO a#st in laying the foundation of consumption, To eure tke most stubborn cough or cold you have ouly to use judie cinusly Dx.

Sr. Pact, Nov. 24, 1878, * The legislative committee appointed last February to examine into charges of cruelty and mismanage- ment in the Hospital for the Insane at St. Peters has been engaged in the investigation for the past three months and will probably make a report to the Gov- ernor to-morrow. The Pioneer Press this moruing publishes a copy of the report, from which it appears the committee finds the charges of cruelty sustained ia two cases in which the death of the patient was in- directly cxused or hastened by the treatment, one man being strangled by ages yng down his throat and a woman being #0 sealded by leaving her care- les#ly in a bath that death ensued. ‘THY PARTIEN RESPONSIBLE, John Betts and Mrs, Muyers, assistants in the hos- ital, are held responsible for these acis. The report Parttier fuda dedictoncics of $4,021 76 in the accounts of the Rev. A. H. K treasurer of the hospital board. ‘The committee recommend that the hospital board and staff be reorganized, and that the duties, salaries, expenses and tenure of the officials be strictly defined by law, and that more systematic bookke»sping be en- forced, HONORING IRISH REBELS, PatLapELrnia, Nov, M, 1878.
