[BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.] Lonpos, Dec. 1, 1878. A signalling party, under Major Pearson, was at- tacked by the Afreedies, one of the Hill tribes, on November 29, on a hill opposite the Khyber Pass. Two men of Major Pearson's troop of horse were killed and one man wounded. The Khyber Pass is blocked and several convoys have returned. Acompany’ of the Ninth regiment and the Forty-fifth Sikhs have been sent to the scene of action, whence. firing has been heard, but the result is unknown. Continued heavy firing has also been heard near Ali Mugjid sinee Friday, The trouble with the Afreedies is notserious. Only one tribe is hostile. A SPEECH FROM GLADSTONE, Mr. Gladstone, in a speech at Greenwich Isst night, inveighed against personal government, but care- fully excluded from his remarks the Sover- eign, ‘whom he declared a model for her subjects, ever faithful to the constitution. He reproached the government for not communicat- ing anything for years to Parliament relative to Afghan affairs and the question of sending s mission to Cabul, said:—“War has clared and an invasion begun before ment is conyoked. Parliament, formerly grand council of the nation, now the Parliament of France before a great revolution.” To the argument that the government is supported by the majority, Mr. Gladstone replies that Parlia- ment has no right to renounce its privileges. He solemnly warns the British people not to abandon the principles of liberty which made its happiness. Speaking of the Afghan war he declared that money spent therein is spent for the dishonor been = de- Parlia- the and of England, and that her responsibilities will commence with her victory. He refutes Viscount Cranbrooks’ insinnation that the liberal government of 1873 instructed Lord Northbrook to postpone the conclusion of a treaty with the Ameer; shows that the liberal administration did not estrange the Ameer, and that the pres- ent administration has incurred a hxavy re- sponsibility, which the people will share un- less they overchrow the government at the elections, He declares the present war an unjust war, which will weigh upon the national conscience, and reminds his hearers that Lady Macbeth’s words, ‘Here is the smell of blood,” are still a powerful peroration, and that unjast wars lead to national dowxfall. CREMATION CONSIDERED, ‘The authorities of Munich have asked the opinions of the Protestant, Catholie and Israelite congregations and the Board of Health on the subject of permissive cremation, The Cathotics will have nothing to do with cremation; the Israelites refuse to ex- press an opinion; only imply a change of directions in the liturgy, and the Board of Health recommend cremation in the following contingencies :—First, after battles; sec_ ond, during epidemics; third, for the conveyance of remains to distant parts, and fourth, where the soil is unsuitable for burial purposes. The authorities have postponed their decision of the question. BRITISH POLICY FORESHADWED. ‘The Marfshester Guardian's London correspondent “If is stated that the forthcoming session of Parliament will be very brief, after which Parliamert will be dissolved and a general election held in Jan- unary. I mention this rumor with reserve, though it is believed by many who are in a poni- tion to know what is going on, and the fact is undoubted that the conservative electoral ma- chinery is displaying unwonted energy, Count Kchonvaloft’s mission is. creating uneasiness, merely because nobody seems to know what is going on.” Count Schonvaloff, accord- ing to Russian journals, has no instructions to ask of the English government explanations respect- ing Afghanistan, The London correspondent of the Paris Journal des Debats contradicts the statement that England has demanded from Russia explanations concerning General Kaufmann'’s speech on the oveasion of his delivery of sword from the Czar to Mundsha Mohammed Hassan, chief of the Afghan Legation at Tashkend, to be trans- mitted by him to the Ameer at Cabul, St. Peters- burg journals yo a great deal further, and state that all reports of a speech made by General Kaufmann on presenting a sword to the Ameer’s envoy are fwbrica- tions and they are officially denied. THE. EASTERN QUESTION, In the Austro-Hungarian Budget Committee at Pesth yesterday Count Andrassy, in a long epeceh, disproved the charge that Austria wishes territorial aggrandizement, and said the ov- cupation ot Bosnia b me inevitable unless Austria intended to abdicate the position of a great Power. Muhktar Pacha haa left Constantinople to assume command in Epirus and Thessaly, He is instructed to wait for the Greek Envoys at Jamina to commence negotiations relative to the frontier. SOCIALISM IN GERMAN It is stated in official ciréles that the recent re- pressive measures were not taken without good cause, Associations similar to the Mazzinian Asso” ciation are spreading throughout Germany. pecially are they strong in Berlin, The National Gazette says the intry has by no means seen the last of these measures. Other papers mention the seizure of Orsini bombs at Hamburg, CABLE NOTES. ‘The Kingof Denmark and his Cabinet have decid to dissolve the Chamber because of its refusal to vote a subsidy to repair the damages caused by the negro insurrection in Santa Cruz, ‘The Russian Council of State at St. Petersburg is discussing a project for taxing American cotton im- ports, It was erroneously stated in these despatches that it was the British Council of State that was dis- cussing this project. ‘The government of France, at the request of the Porte, has nominated two Custom House Inspectors tor the Turkish revenue service. A similar requ addressed by the Porte to the government of Eng- land has not yet been answered, NO MORE YELLOW FEVER. New Onteans, Noy. 30, 1878, White frost occurred here Thursday, Friday and to- ay. There have been no deaths from yellow fever for the past four days, RAILROAD LITIGATION. Ex- TANAPOLIS, Nov. 30, 1878, In tho matter of the St. Lonis, Alton and Terre Haute Railroad Company aguinst the Indianapolis and St. Louis Railway Company, and certain other rail- way companies, Judge Gresham, of the United States Court, to-day ordered the Indianapolis and St. Louis Company to pay into court monthly thirty per cent of their gross earnings, and enjoined them from paying any interest due on bonds held by the companies who are guarantors for the Tudtanspolis and St. Louis Company, or to pay any moneya advanced hy them tgess said thirty per cent shail exceed th minimum rental agreed to be paid the St, Louis, Alton and Terre Maute Company.

NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 1, 187 KENTUCKY'S CIVIL WAR. BREATHILT COUNTY STILL UNDER ARMED CON- TROL—-CONSTANT FOMNG KEPY UP—COURTS- CLOSED—-NO PROMISE OF PEACE, (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] . Lexincroy , 1878, Communication with the town of Jackson, in Breathitt county, is almost entirely cnt off, and news from the seat of war is difficult to obtain, A special to the Lexington Press, fvom Mount Sterling, gives the information that the armed factions still hold the town and slay cach other as opportunity offers, At last reports lighting was still in progress, maintained principally by sharpshooters, both parties haying thrown up barricades and entrenchments, The party. headed by Ned Strong, an old rebel soldier, who served as an officer in the Fifth Kentucky regiment under the Senator elect trom Kentucky, old “Cerro Gordo Williams,” hold the Court House and the jail, ‘The latter is protected by a barricade and defended by men acenstomed to rifle practice, The murderer Little is still in jail, and so long as cireum- stances remain as they are there is small probability of his release. COURTS CLOSED. ‘The Judge of the Cireuit Court bas disappeared, no one knows where. ‘The Special Judge who has been elected is unable to serve, from the fact that the mob would permit no court to be held, The County Judge is dead and buried, and the Sheriff is peuned up in the beleaguered town, his deputy, who is also the Official information, therefore, of the condition of things in Jackson can hardly be sent out of the town. WILD SHOOTING. Tom Little, who was shot through the body while addressing the mob at the jail door, did not die until the next day. In ne the shot that laid him low, several mortal wounds have been inflicted, If only the rs were killed there would be little to complain of, but non-combatting citizens haye been hit and m afew instances killed by erratic bullets that had been sent on a voyage of discovery. Firing has been sustained from the houses adjacent to the Jail, which are now in ne possession of the Sheriff s party. NO PROSPECT OF ORDER. At last accounts there was no abatement of the di turbance and none likely to be without more blood- shed and violence. As far as’ can be ascer- tained Governor McCreery has no official noti- fication of the disturbance. He is not at the capital and telegrams either fail to find him or he declines to give the information asked for. The people are everywhere talking of the necessity of sending the militia, as was done before, to restore order in Breathitt county, but nothing whatever has been done, The undertaking is of some magnitude. The ailitia sent to that place before numbered eighty. This isa much more serious disturbance, and ac- cording to the judgment of Captain Hendricks, who commanded them, at least a detachment of two hun- dred men will be required for its suppression. THE INDIAN PROBLEM, THREATENING INDICATIONS OF A RECURRENCE OF HOSTILITIES NEXT SPRING. (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) Oana, Neb., Noy. 30, 1878, General Crook, General Ingalls, General Ludington, Colonel Thornburgh and G. A. Collins returned this evening from San Francisco, where they have been for several weeks. The Hrna.p correspondent ob- tained from General Crook to-night the following re- garding Indian affairs. From information. received on the coast of a merely incidental nature it is learned that the hostile Bannocks are nearly all captured or returned. Apprehension still exists in many quarters of renewed troubles in Oregon and Washington this coming spring, and some Indians are reported as being discontented regarding their reservations. When asked his opinion of affairs in this department General Crook said there was no immediate cause for alarm, but the outlook for the coming year is not improved: He had cautioned stockmen and settlers some years ago to organize and put a stop to stealing Indian ponies, Nothing was done, however, and prominent stock- men, it was stated on good authority, openly pur- chased stolen ponies offered for le in the streets of Ogalalla, These robberies have been of long continuance, and the Red Cloud and Spotted Tail Sioux, thoroughly exasperated as they were, not only steal ponies too, but might inaugurate a sudden war and sweep the stockmen and settlers of Central and Northern Nebraska from the face of the earth. The Sioux were (ah eri§ rich in ponies but their num- bers are now much reduced. A year ago renegade whites stole 1,000 from them, and the Sioux, who visit the responsibility for such acts on the govern- ment, called on Crook for an explanation, and said the whites repaid their friendship thus. Thefts con- tinue and efforts to stop them while encouraged by the stockmen are unavailing. The Sioux are feeling very bitter toward the whites. General Crook says the Cheyennes recently captured in the Sand Hills are still confined in Camp Robinson, The captured Bannocks are at Fort Hall and Camp Brown. The government has made no disposition of them. AN OFFICER KILLED. Information was received here to-day of the murder afew days since, on L P. Oliver's cattle ranch, near Plumb Creek, of an officer named Henry Stevens, who ‘was attempting to arrest # cattle thief, and was shot by asccond thief named Ketcham. Being mortally wounded, Stevens responded with a shot, which killed Ketcham. Yesterday a party of twenty cow boys was organized and started out to avenge Stevens” death rid the country of cattle thieves.

Bavtimone, Noy, 30, 1878, Archbishop Gibbons was called upon this evening by your correspondent for the purpose of ascertain. ing the truth or falsity of the statement that Pope Leo had communicated officially with him on the subject of the Order of the American Union. ‘The letter published carly last week from Rome on this subject he admitted had been recetved by him, and copies were forwarded to other archbishops and Bishops throughout the country.

THE COLORED MEN FIRST TO COMMIT A BREACH OF THE PEACE, [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) New Ortrans, Noy. 30, 1878. Ihave used every effort to get at the perfect and exact truth of the late reported outrages in different parts of the State, but so far only with partial suc- cess. There seems, however, no doubt as to one point in both the ‘Tensas and Caddo difficulties; that im both of these the fight was opened by the negroes and was not begun on the part of the whites until several of their number had fallen. In Caddo a mob of negroes had assembled within a radius of a mile of the polls, with arms in their hands, threatening to break up the election, The Commissioners of Election called upon the Sheriff to disperse this assemblage, which was expressly against the law. and prevent the threatened outrage. In at- tempting to do this several of the Sheriff's posse were shot down. The negroes who were killed in the fight which followed were all armed, In ‘Tensas parish 1 learn, through republican sources, that the difficulties originated first between @ mounted com of whites who were returning from Tensas after most of the negroes had dispersed, anda small body of negroes more violent than the rest, who would not leave. The fight here, too, it is stated, was begun by the negroes, RETURNS DESTROYED. The reason assigned for the attempted destruction of the returns of St. Mary's parish, in which New- man nearly lost his life, was not: suggested by New- man but ‘imagined by Dibbell, namely that, ifthe ballot boxes could be destroyed, there being nearly a tie between the two opposing candidates, the Gov- ernor would appoint a democrat to the office, ‘This the Governor emphatically declared he did not intend to do, if there was any reason to suppose that a re- publican had been electéd, ‘TERIOK QUARANTINES AS POLITICA NES. Thave just been informed, on republican authority, that the interior quarantines played a novel and remarkable part in the late election in actually pro- hibiting the party making a thorough canyass of the ; and indeed it is authoritatively asserted that quarantines are responsible, and not the repub- lean officials, for the entire failure of the republic: party in the late campaign, aud that the democrats used them as an important part of their political machinery, Lf this is true, they should certainly be abolished. NORTH ’AROLIN! ‘ ELECTION. i‘ MARTIN, REPUBLICAN, RECEIVES A CERTIFICATE OF ELECTION TO CONGRESS. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD. ] Karercn, N. C., Noy. 30, 1878. The State Canvassing Board to-day, after asserting that they did not recognize the right of Judge Sey- more to enjoin them from canvassing the vote of the Second district, yet in respect to the judiciary they would postpone the count until December 18, as re- quested by the restraining order of the Judge, O'Hara will now have a mandamns issued to compel the vassers of the counties of Edgcombe, Lenoir and Crave to count the votes heretofore thrown out, which, if sue- cessful, will elect him. The Board refused to grant the motion of Yeattes’ counsel to throw out the Pas- quatank county returns, but counted the votes as re- turned, which gives Martin, republican, the certifi- cate. Yeattes will contest the seat before Congress. ‘The Board is democratic and is praised by all partics for fairness and impartiality. SPRINGFIELD CITY ELECTION, [bY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Noy. 30, 1878, ‘The citizens’ caucus to-day nominated by acclama- tion I, J. Powers Talbot, republican, for Mayor.

I., Noy, 30, 1878. ‘There was a reminder of the troubles of the house of & W. Sprague in the Supreme Court to-day, when the case of Winthrop Dewolf, as receiver of the Cranston Savings Bank, was Med. It was an action to recover the amount due the bank upon a note and sundry drafts made by the Spragues before their failure, in 1873, The principal of the entire set amounted to $727,000, ‘This crippled the bank to such an extent that it was obliged to close its doors, ‘There is no dispute regarding the amount, but the case was before the court, jury trial having previously been waived, upon several questions—viz., first, whether the drafts should draw six per cent interest, the legal rate in the State, or seven per cent, the legal rate in New York, where the acceptors of the notes live; second, whether each of the sheriffs of the three counties in which the original writ was served is entitled to full pound- age fees, or whether these fees are to be taxed but once and be divided among them; third, wheth certain mortgage notes of the defendant, left as co! lateral but not ‘sued on, should be left on the files of the court with the original notes which were sued on. ‘The case was held for advisement, and the de- cision, which will affect prospective litigation, will be awaited with interest.

One of the Nachillas from whom Captain Barry received the Franklin information is dead, and the other is reported at Whale Point, to which place I shall send him word to join mo as soon as I have time, Depot Island is about half way between Cape Fullerton and the mouth of Chesterfield Inlet, and that shore, about one penis A miles in length, is very poorly surveyed, 4 n be said to be surveyed all, On pe Scuestatty chart it is represented as an almost straight live dotted with a few islands, while in sight at this place alone T find two inlets from ten to thirty miles in depth, I shall survey this during this autumn or winter, When I meet the missing Nachilla, should our route take ue to King Willian Land, I shall go by way of the Chesterfield Inlet, Quoich River, across to Back's Fish River and thence down it to the island; should it take us to Boothia, or in that direction, I shall yo Ley a '# Weleome, Mepulse Bay, & the old route of Rae to the western coast of the Melville Peninsula, Idesire very much to be able to return #0 a8 to int from Igloolik along the eastern coast of Fox Channel, The natives’ accounts would show that the northern portion of this channel ex- pands rapidly, forming an immense bay connected to Hudson Bay by the Fox Channel, with the Gulf of Boothia by the Fury and Hecla Strait.

Several times of late public attention has been drawn to the trouble which inoffensive people have suffered and the notoriety into which they have been forced by the blunders of police officials, Another instance of it was yesterday brought to light, when Mis, Kate Cross was taken to the Essex Market Police Court by a couple of Central Office detectives for the — pur- pose of being discharged by a magistrate and exonerated from a charge for which she had suffered a night's imprisonment and the worry and anxiety incident to it. The blunder was a pecu- liar one, and the officers. who — committed it have the plea of mistaken identity to shield them, but the aggrieved lady — de- clares her purpore of legally testing whether asupposed resemblance to an offender can justify her incarceration and the unpleasant publicity into which she has been driven. Mrs. Cross, on her pro- duction at the Central Office, was accredited with various aliases, which gaye her quite a criminal flavor, and led the evening papers to indulge in various sagacious conjectures about the nature of her offence, which official prudence had entered on the books under the vague head of “suspicions person.” The truth seems to’ be that Mrs. Cross has no alias other thun ‘De Kalb,” a nom de plume over which she writes for several papers. Further, this was really the name she bore during the lifetime ot her first husband, a Prussian offic with whom she passed through the perils of the Franco-German war, and as such it could hardly be construed into an alias to conceal an identity coming under the ban of the law. Mrs. Cross, according to her statement, came to this country during the Centennial in the capacity of & London — Times — correspond- ent, ‘and as such she has wained in thix city performing like functions for a couple of Canadian journ: On Friday, it ap named Clark, residing at the St. Denis ing, hung up a couple of silk dresses on a rack. It was cloxe to a door which opened into an adjoin- | ing bed chamber, and from it, during the night, the occupants of this apartment took the apparel and went off with it in the morning. A de ption of the pair—a young man and a lady— given to Detectives Dunn and Wood, and it seemed to cor- respond in eral parti with Mrs. Cross and male acquaintanc hers, who was first singled out for arrest. On Friday ing the detectives went to Mrs. Cross pla eof residence, in Nincteenth street, and under some pretext induced her to accompany them to the Central Office, where they startled her by the announcement that she was a prisoner. She protested; urged that 5! could prove she was elsewhere than in the hotel, and mentioned the names of yarious citizens who could youch tor her repute. She was locked up, however, and passed the night in one of the rooms in the Central Office.
