Important Austrian Move mcnt--
Invasion of Bosnia.
From the London Post, Lord Palmerston's
organ,) July llth.

From the London Post, Lord Palmerston's
organ,) July llth.
The Austrans have entered Bosnia.
Such is the important news which we
receive by telegraph from Vienna.
This event, which we expected-for
we announced the preparations for i, on
Thursday lasl--is the mos. ominous
that has occurred since the Emperor OF
Russia published his manifesto to the
nation. .. ....-. -...
Of three things, one. Either Austria
enters the north western provinces of
the Ottoman empire with secre, under
standing with Russia, that the two des-
po,ic powers shall despoil Turkey of
the dominion and independence guaran-
tied 10 her by the great powers in 1912.
Such resolve would be fatal TO the
peace of Europe.
Or, Austria enters the provinces in
order to preserve their peace, and hinder
any disturbances between Christians and
Turks. whose religious feelings are at
this momen. SO strikingly worked upon.
This would be an excuse, but not JUS
LITIGATION. ....-...
Or, Austria enters the Turkish Terri.
tory in order tn secure for herself, in the
event of Turkey, Bosnia, and Boryia,
lest they fall into the hands of Russia;
whom she can hardly allow TO appropri-
ate more than the Boa's share.
This last hypothesis is, we think, the
most likely 10 be correct, but in whatever
way the fact of the new invasion is re.
garded, il cannot but be seen that it adds
greatly to the dangerous and difficult
complications of the present crisis.

Our long experience in the western trade
and having correct knowledge of the wants
of the country, enables us to import such
goods as are adapted to the wants of the
people. ...
We believe we have facilities in buying.
which are not enjoyed by any other west
ern House, having resident partners and
buyers constantly at the Manufacturers 81
Auctions in the East, and our agents on
,he Continent. Purchasing our goods for
ca sh and on short time; we are enabled to
buy much lower than Eastern or western
Jobbers who buy on q long credit, ami we
are always able and prepared to take every
advantage of change in the market, ia
yorable TO cash buyers, which merchants
who buy on credit cannot enjoy.
We can afford to sell for cash, 10 per cent.
less than other houses, because we do not
sustain heavy losses by crediting extrava-
CANT and injudicious merchants.
Merchants who have been in the habit of
visiting Eastern cities, are assured that they
will See as large stocks in st. Louis, as can
be seen in New York or Philadelphia.
We guarantee to exhibit large, and bet
ter assorted, and more elegant stock of fam
cy and staple Dry Goods and Notions, than
was ever seen IN one House in America.
Our Dress Goods are mostly of styles
designed by ourselves, and entirely confin-
ed TO us in this market.
We are prepared to offer the same in.
ducements in Silk and White Goods as are
offered by first class houses in the East,
who are only in this branch of the business.
The country merchant will save tim.
and money by purchasing his goods in St.
Louis-expense and risk of traveling-loss
of time, (Which is valuable to COOL mer-
chants, Expensive transportation-ae-
tentiom OF goods by low water-ana mis-

deprecated and become unsaleab!e, and
being long absent from bis business aud
family. are good reason; for the retailer to
make his purchases in a hom: market.
We respectfully suggest these facts to
the merchants in the west, believing it to
be to their interest in every respect to make
their purchases in St. Louis, AMI that til;
syslemw have established, guaranteeing
to them cheaper goods AMI as large stocks
as can be obtained in any eastern cities,
will bring to us many merchants ana trad

A traveller through on the line Of steamers

the accommodations by this line as superior

GERS of the Lake steamers are gentlemen OF

diana, and so on to the cabin boys-every
one is none the less gentlemanly and atten'

The Grand Jury of Fayette county, Ash
land district. KY, are engaged in Investigate
ing the frauds perpetrated atthe late election
The Lexington Observer says they have
found number of indictments already, and
the work is not yet done. Sixteen indict-
ments have been found, and all against men
who voted the Democratic ticket. Cannot the
Enquirer give us some editorial comments
1t was challenging an investigation few
days since, because it thought no such inves-
tiqation would be made. Democratic papers
in Kentucky attempted to bluff off the Wings
by defying them to prove fraud. But it was
no 90. Letcher was undoubtedly elected by
the majority oflegal voters. Some Of the ras'
callv frauds that were exercised to defeat him,
will be fully exposed. Numbers of persons
whose names are on the poll books as having
voted the Democratic ticFet, cannot be found
and are utterly unknown to every citizen.--
Of course they will escape punishment, but
some, we opine, will be made to feel the Tau
which they outraged. The Observer promises
to lend its best assistance to ferrit out an!
fraud committed by Wings at that election
but thinks 10 charge of fraud or perjury Cal
be substantiated against a single individua
who voted the Wing ticket. The rascality
was confined to the other party.
