The Grasping Ambition of Eagland a Source of Un- limi ted Evil. Correspondence of The N. Y. Tribune. , March 28,—I have had an restiug interview with M. Gam- betta on current affairs. The Speaker of the Chamber thinks the Eastern question only opened. In his opinion Bexlia Cougress only served to o the sores it professed to h Where there was a wound be- fore it met there is now a bad ulcer. M. Gambetta apprehends military and massacre in the Balkans and Southern Bulgaria, and he does not dare think where the storm wave originated by Russians, Turks and Bulgarians will end. Peace he deems essential to the prosperity of the French Republic, and as long as he dircets the Chamber of Deputies she will never draw the sword from the scabbard but to defend herself. In this order of ideas he judges it happy for France that Bis- marcK has his hands full of German thorus, and is losing the confidence of the court, the parliament and the na- u.

It is in hu- an nature to prefer being swept +y by a caunon ball to being knock- ed down by a rolling pin.

A very hard wetal was formed by the fusion, and it was better adapted for swords and Krupp guns than for plow- shares, Gambetta asserted.

QUEEN OF ENGLAND stays to-night at the British Embassy, in the apartments on the first floor. \ler chamber is that usually occupied by Lord Lyons. It was fitted up by the Prince Borghese for his pretty vife Pauline Bonaparte, as Her Maj- now finds it. The frniture is Toaguificent, but the stufls covering it are out of repair. A charming view of the Embassy garden, which is planted with ancient trees and covering with soft green turf, is commanded from the roows in which Her Majesty is in- stalled. Beyond the trees the gayest part of the Champs Elysees can be reen. The Queen,in the early years of her reign, was bigoted in the opinion that “it takes three gerera- Gons to make a gentlemen.” She envnciated this axiom after her first interview with Sir Robert Peel, who \was not at ease in the Royal presence. 1t must go hard with her to Teceive President Grevy as an equal, and T do mot suppose she would have been induced to meet him in the character of a brother had she not been moved by a political necessity. She is very snxious to have a new treaty of com- Terce negotiated by the Government und accepted by the French Cham- bers. Her Majesty, I have no doubt, will be favorably impressed with the mplicity of M. Grevy's man- pers. She has great insight as to haracter, and when a prejudice is overcome is apt to regret deeply that o ever entertained it. “Madame Grevy having no official rank will not call on Her Majesty.

Lowvox, April 21.—The Times con- graulates Secretary Sheaman upon his success in converting 10-40 bonds. The reviving trade in the United States will render it impossible to ob- tain money at four per cent Now that the conversion has been carried as far as it can be for two years, Sherman should direct the st- tention of Congress rnd the nation to the polioy of reducing the principal of the debt, which has been for some time neglected.

Frexoxt, Neb., April 21L—Mr. Henry Loughlin, who recently came to Fremont from Omaha and_identi- fied with the interests of this town, committed suicide about nine o'clock to-night by shooting himself througn the forchead.

The Powers of Life and Death in the Hand of Irresponsible Officials. Efforts to Stamp Out the Nihilists by Barbarous Measures. Russia on the Brink ofa Revo- lution. THE CZAR'S UKASE. Special Telegram Lo the Chicagy Times. Loxpbos, April 19. —Russia has lapsed into the darkness of barbarism. The Czar's ukase, giving powers of life and death without trial or appeal to the military governors of the lead- ing cities, has created a panic through- out the empire and an intense sensa- tion throughout London and Europe. The Nihilists are the only people not staggered by the blow. Their answer is the assassination of two more police officials. The Czar hopes to stamp out Nihilism: by measures more bloody than its owa. He may for a time paralyze the avenging arm, but the discontent will ouly sink deeper into the heart of the nation. The revolu- tionary organization is spreading in all directions. The Russian Polish emi- grants in Switzerland have agreed to support the revolution in Russia, and have organized a system of police which has for its chief an eminent Englishman. THE LONDON JOURNALS, which have hitherto sympathized with Russia, denounce the ukase and regret that the Czar did not give his subjects some constitutional reform before placing the lives of all the people, the invocent and guilty alike, in the hands of irresponsible officials. A Nihilist in this city says that that would have been the only way of arranging a truce. Thousands of Russians and Poles are sworn to lay down their lives for liberty. The ukase will only make the sacrifices greater but will not advance the permanent power of the despotism. MEETING FORCE BY FORCE. Advices from St. Petersburg and Moscow during the past twenty- four hours have been of the the most alarming nature. The authorities of those cities have im- posed an additionally severe censor. ship upon the telegraph, but they have permitteda number of dispatches describing the sitation to pass, and several others have been - read in cipher. Itisnotat all exaggerating the situation to say that the repressive measures proposed by the government in consequence of the attempt on the life of the czar are being met in anticipation by most violent resistance and self-assertion on the part of the people. A state of civil war may almost be said to exist throughout the entire empire. The outbreak at Ros- toff is only one of similar revolts that have occurred within a short time. Tostoff is a town of about six thous- and inhabitants, and very ancient, the { the vain hope of checking the fatal | disease, but was advised to_return at the end of a few days by his physi- | cian, as his case was beyond remedy. He has been dejected and gloomy ever since his return, but no one dresmed | that he would hurry himself iuto the grave by his own hand till the news of his tragic death was heraided through the city. Mrs. Laughlin had just put the chil- | dren to bed when she heard a clicking noise in her husband’s room and went thither to ascertain the cause of the noise. She found him with & revol- verin his hand, but before she could speak he criered her out of the room, and threatened to shoot if she did not obey. She burst into tears,and in the most piteous tones plead with him not to commit the terrible act, saying, | “Oh! Henry,you would not shoot me, | you love me 8o well, you know, aud Your children, you think so much of them. But her prayers and tears were vain, He forced her to_leave him and ehe stepped into an adjoining room, when a momeni later,she heard the terrible report which sounded the death knell of he hopes and rent her heart in twain. In_frantio despair she rushed into the chamber of death and found her husband dead in the bed with the warm blood gushing from & frightful wound in the forehead. Her wild agonizing shrieks brought the neighbors to her «id, and swift as_lightning the terri- ble news swept through the city. Offi- cer Gregg and Coroner Van Buren hurried to the scene of the tragedy and will remain in charge of the corpee till the coroner’s inquest to- morrow. Mrs. Laughlin is almost maniac, but kind hearts are caring for her. The corpse is & ghastly eight, and the pillow on which rests the shatter- ed head, is crimsoned with blood and bespattered with brains. The deceas- ed leaves his family in good circum- stances. He was highly respected and esteemed. ST. LOUIS. Fresoxt, Apnl 2L.—Drs. L. J. Abbott, L. B. Smith and J. Bruner made a post mortem examination of the brain of Dr. St. Louis to-day, to ascertain the course of the buliet. It entered the skull at the point where the temporal ridge crosses the coronal suture, and directly through the skull on_the opposite side, then turned and lodzed in the fissure in the left hemisphere, according to medical phraseology. One large spicula of the bone and two smaller pieces were driven two inches into the brain by the ball. How he could have lived sixty hours after re- ceiving such a wound is a surprise to | the medical fraternity. His brain weighed 563 ounces The eofirg%er'n inquest was also held to-day and a large number of witnosses examined on the question as to who gave him the pistol, but nothing defi- nite was proven. It is the opinion of the jurymen that he got the pistol some ten months vgo, and had it con- cealed i the j town being mentioned in history nearly one thousand years ago. A reat fair is_held there yearly, which is attended by fifty thousand persons. The town is situsted on Lake Nero, and has a cathedral, several convents and & seminary. The outbreak was caused by an_attempt on the part of | the police to arrest certain students who were suspected of hav- ing knowledge of the recent affair at St. Petersburg. The whole populace arose and a desperate affray ensued in which two of the police were killed and many persons wound- ed. Fually a squadron of Cossacks | arrived and succeeded, at the cost of | no little bloodshed, in dispersing the people. Taking all the news together, olic cemetery to-morrow, but not in there is reason to fear Russia is on the brink of revolution. Revolutionists plundered and de- stroyed official residences. Several of the police were killed. There are military preparations to moet expect- ed risings in other districts. IRISH COLONIZATION. Specia 10 the Globe.Democrat. Onicaco, Twi., April 18.—The Ex- ecutive Board appointed by the Irish Catholic Colonization Convention, which oocurred in this city about a month ago, convened at the Grand Pacific this morning to discuss the preliminaries necessary to the organi Zation of such an association as that projected by the recent Convention. There wore present Bishop Ireland, of St. Paul; Bishop O'Conner, of Omahn; Bishop Fink, of Kansas; Bishop Spaulding, of Peoria ; Bishop Hogau, of St. Joseph, Mo.; Gen. Lawler, of Prairie du Chien; J. A. Creighton, of Omaha; _Anthony Kelley, of Minneapolis ; P. V. Hickey, of the Catholic Review, New York; W. J. Ouahan, of Chicago; Father Col- rick, of Minneapolis, and Tohs. A. Moran, of this city, the latter not a member of the Board. There were two members absent, P. L. Foy, of St. Louis; John Boyle O'Reilly, of The Boston Pilot, who sent a mnote, stating that.he was ill. Gen. Lawler, s Chairman of the Board, presided, and Mr. Onshan acted as Secretary. The session was private, and devoted to considering plans for the formation of & corporation, which, having for its object the removal of immigrants from the cities and States to lands in the West, shall be in accord_with the general laws on incorporation. The hours this morning were largely de- voted to discussing the laws of differ- ent States, which vary somewhat,so as to arrive at the desired basis of gener- ality. The conference will probably last till to-morrow, and the results as £0on as attained, will be made public. It is possible that a public meeting may be called within a short time to hear the results.

Wasmivarox, April 22.—The num- ber of those who predict Congress will finally adjourn Ly the lstor mid- dle of June is increasing. Tt will be difficult to keep Oongress here much Inter than that. The present hot weather is a cremonition of the set- tled intensity of hot weather which is seasonable continuously here from this time until October. The ocld members know very well what dis- comforts such weather brings. A number of Congressmen have already gone to their homes for a fow day Conkling gave close attention to Bayard in the Senate and it is asserted both he and Zach Chandler intend to speak. Mr. Chandler says he can fix no time for his speech but he is liable to make one of his vigorous but in e speeches when- ever his indignation is aroused by the arrogant assumptions of restered southern bourbonism. There was one sentiment in Maxey’s speech that the American people will applaud. He eaid that the man that could make two ears of corn grow where one grew before, was a greater benefitter to his country than all the politicians put together. LEGISIATIVE WASH DAY. For more than tive consecutive hours the flood-gates of initial legislation was opened and a great stream of bills came rushing in the House. Monday has long been known as legishitive “wash-day. There has never been such a wash day in the history of the American Congress, there have been times when 500 or 600 bills have been introduced in one day but yesterday the number was 1,385. The Ultra Southern men of the Democratic party are de- termined not only to force through congress the political sections that have been incorporated into the ap- propriation bills now under considera- tion, but to pass at this session a bill making radical changes in the tariff and currency laws. Fernando Wood has been outspoken in his opposition to all these schemes, and by the firm | stand he has taken has brought down upon himself the attacks of southern men. THE LAND GRANT TEST CASE.

He made a strong speech and was more conservative in his sen- timents than the Democrats who pre- coded him. FORTY SIXTH CONCRESS. Asociated Press Report. SENATE. WasarsGroy, April 21.—Crnsidera- tion was resumed of the army appro- priation bill. Senator Bayard defended the incor- poration of general logislation in ap- propriation bills, there being nothing unusual in it; hence the cry of revol tion was unsubstantial and foolish, and people would condemn it. Senator Bayard having noticed the remark of Senator Blame about the distribution of the army, Senator Blaine asked the Senator to quote his words. Senator Bayard said he would do s0, but would first have to send for the Congressional Record. Senator Blaine remarked that what he said was this, “‘that not a Senator of the other side of the chamber had ever seen a United States soldier at the polls.” Senator Bayard replied that if the Senator preferred to limit his remarks to the actual vision of the Senators he had nothing to say. Senator Bayard then proceeded to rerd a circumstantial account of a large presence of troops in New York in the fall of 1870 to be present at the polls to prevent disorder. Senator Blaine wished to ask a question. It was why the Senator did not select a precedent found in 1857, when President Buchanan called out marines to attend a_Washington mu- nicipal election, and when seven men were shot down by them, the scene being within a mile of the Senate chamber. - Senator Bayard said he would dis- cuss that question at some future | time. Any party or set of men in this country who seek to remove the infringement on the liberties of the American people should have his sup- port at all times. He keld that the employment of the armies at the polls at the South was simply atro- cious, and during the war was claim- | ed as a belligerent right. Senator Bayard at some length condemned all | conduct which would tend to prevent | the restoration of full confidence and | friendship to all party of the country. | He was well assured that the hostility dation, and ultimate ruin of both, and in conclusion expressed his ccnfidence that the Ameriean people would sup port the majority in their present leg- on as it wes in the direction of justice and had for its object the pro teotion of the liberties of the people. Senator Maxey said it was plain the constitution did not eonfer upon the United States government authority to regulate elections, therefore it could not be unconstitutional to re- peal or modify an act allowing such action. Senator Maxey alluded to former remarks of Senator Blaine, that thirty of the southern Democratic Senators had taken part in the civil war, but he (Maxey) would ask did they not attend fo their duties, and were they” not as mindful of the pub- lic intes nd as decorous in their intercourses as the Senators from any other part of the Union? Their crime consisted in their inability to see with the eyes of others. They would how- ever follow their owa soaviction of right, not thinking whom they will please or displease by doing s0. By right, under the constitution they were entitled to seats on this floor. Mr. Blaine might rest content that they would assert equal rights of their States with others of the Union. They did not attempt to stir up the embers of the past because they be- lieved in the reconciliation and resto- ration of genuine brotherhood among the people of 8 common destiny and country. The Senator from Mame also referred to the name of the mar- tyred President They all accorded to Lincoln the fairness of thought and fearlessness of action. In his last in- augural address he declared, ‘‘With malace toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see right, etc.” The South acted as they saw the right, and accord to the North the same degree of hon- esty. The revival of strife and con- tention of the past would do no good but much harm. He would rather aid in building up the waste places oceasioned by the war, and in securing prosperity in all its parts. After an executive session the sen- ate adjourned HOUSE. A bill for the distribution of the unexpected balance of general award was introduced by Mr. Frye and three financial bills by Mr. Murch. eral bills relative to the Pacific rail wads were referred. Among the bills introduced were two by Mr. Fernando Wood, one for establishing a perman- ent sinking fund and another provid- ing for the appointment of a joint committee to revise the revenue laws. A vast number of petitions were filed, including one by Mr. Warner, praying an amendment to the coinage laws, 80 as to admit silver to unli ed coinage on the same conditions with gold, and to provide for the issue of certificates for ballion. Among the most important bills are the following: Ey Mr. Joyce—Proposing a_consti- tutional amendment prohibiting the payment of the olaims of disloyal per- sons for property desteoyed during the war. By Mr. Rice—Extending the time of the completion of the Northern Pacific railroad; also for the relief of the central branch of the Union Pa- cific railriad; also to establish a Board of Pacific Railroad Commi-sioners; also for the appointment of a board of supervisors of inter state commerce.

Four Business Houses Des- troyed-—Rebuilding Begun. Another Wite Polsoning Case. Corespondence of Tus Bea. Crere, Neb., April 19, 1879.—A few days ago Orete was the scene of a great fire in which four business houses on the main street perished. How the fire started is not really under- stood. And a8 no acceptable expl tion has yet been given, some think it the work of an incendiary. The origin of the fire was in the saloon and the other buildings caught frowa.that one. They were partly coveréd by insurance, which has been paid. The Moran, saloon ; Frazer, fruit store; Holland, grocery; Horner's book and stationery storein which was kept the post office. Crete has no fire engine, and it was a difficult matter to keep the rest of the town from being burned. Had it not been that these were surrounded by brick bulldings, a block or more would have been consumed. Their places are ncw to be filled with brick edifices, and preparations are being made for the erection of a number of other brick buildings, one . of which is to be a large brick hotel to be built near the depot. Crete now has eighteen hundred population and new comers are almost every day making inquires about houses to rent. It has good water power which will be developed in some way soon. A starch factory and an agricultural implement tactory are talked of with zeal. Doane College is located here and has an attendance of about 80 pupils. The Opera House has been leased for the coming year by Ed Heeley, and Ann Eliza Young will there en- tertain the people to-night. Two questions are asked by almost every man on the street. Who fur- nished St. Louis with that pistol and how long will Olive be in the peni- tentiary! Klofauds, a druggist of Wilbur, for- merly of Crete, was indicted for wife- isoning by the grand jury yesterday. This is the second wife that has died suddenly on his hands, and the public are clamorous for meeting to him the extremety of the law. The evidence, which it would not be best to make public, is very strong against him. The grass has started emough to make the prairies look green, and the cattle are feeding upon it. ~ JAY. losers were : MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.

Brain Fever Results From Her Assault on Nathan. The Usual Termination to a Life of Shame New York Sun, 17th Authentic information has been re- ceived that Birdie Bell, otherwise Mrs. Berrett, is dying of brain fever. Tt has been ascertained that the day after the shooting of Washington Nathan in the Coleman House, Birdie Bell left the city. and it is supposed remained a short time in Jersey City. Sergeant Long, of the Third dist: court, who was givert charge of the case, has been active in _his efforts to Dring this woman to justice. He had Birdie Bell's house, on Thirty-fourth street, watched daily. The house has been searched three times throughout on suspicion that she had visited the premises. . A man was stationed near +the house to watch every woman who on- tered it. On Wednesday last Ser- geant Long, Detective Stillwell and an officer visited the house, but no trace of her could be found. The servants said they had not heard from her SINCE THE DAY SHE LEFT. The only person in the city she communizated with was her counsel, Mr. Townsend. The Sergeant and his assistant then visited Mr. Nathan’s residence, on Fifth avenue, but were informed that young Nathan was down town attending to his business, and was as well as could be expected. Late that evening the Sergeat called agsin at the house. and found Mr. Nathan himself When asked if he could give any information as to the whereabouts of the woman who shot him, he replied that he knew nothing at all about her, and, more, had made up his mind not to say anything about the case. If any information was to be communicated it would be done by his counsel, ex-Judge Cordoza. Ser- geant Long communicated important information to Judge Murray yester- day relative to the case, the exact na- ture of it could fiot be learned by the reporter, as it was said to be of an offi- cial nature. THE DETECTIVE INTERVIEWED. The sergeant was asked if there was anything new in the case. “There is,” was the reply. ““Is she arrested yet?” “No.” “Is she likely to be!” ““She is out of my jurisdiction.” You mean she is out of this State ~ ““Yes; she is out of this State.” “T understand you have definite in- formation about the case, is it so” “T have.

THE SCENES OF SHILOH QUAINILY DE- SCRIBED BY AN INDIANA FARMER. ‘Special to the Globe-Demoerat. New Yo, April 18.—More rem- iniscences of the battle of Shilch were brought out to-day in the Stanley court-martial. There was the usual crowd present, including Gens. Sher- man, Sheridan and Schofield, Col. Oliver D. Green and ex-Secretary of War Belknap. The principal witness was Isaac C. B. Suman, now a farmer in Indiana, who testified that at Shilch he wasa Captain in the 9th Indiana Regiment, in Gen. Hazen's brigade. He gave a quaint description of some of the scenes of the battle, and the officers present laughed heartily. “The Adjutant General came up to me,” said he, “‘and I saw that he had been drinking ; we're just now seeing the nose of the dog,” I said to him, and just then a solid shot tore a hole through his body, big enough for one’s two fists. Col. Moody came up and began to cry at the sight. 1 was very much astonished at seeing him ory ; he then rode out in full view of the enemy, and I saw that he, too, had been drinking ; he disappeared, and while looking for him I learned from some officers at a hospital, about three quarters of a mile to the rear, that they had met Gen. Hazen near the landing. “Moody was a good friend of mine,” said the witness later, “but I thought he was too nervous for war.” A lighograph was afterward put in evidence which had been published by Henry Moser, representing the gal- lant charge of the 19th brigade, com- manded by Col. W. B. Hazen, Gen. Nelson's division on the field of Shi- loh. Gen. Hazen is ropresented as mounted leading his brigade. In the line are Gens. Nelson and Buell with some of their staff. Shells are burst- ing here and there, and the dead and wounded are scattered about on the ground. The witness said the picture con- tained anarchronisms, and the whole thing was a fraud gotten up by a Hazer's head- quarters. He testified that Gen. Hazen's absence from his brigade was discussed generally during the day of the battle, and that at the time his opinion of him was the same as that which he held in regard to Moody, that he was a little to nervous for HAIR COLOR.
