News from Europe.

The steamship Europa, having taken the
place Of the Niagara, arrived at Halifax
yesterday, with one weeks later intelligence
from Europe. The dates from Liverpool are
to the 10Th.
The prominent item of intelligence by this
arrival, says cotemporary, is the conGrma-
ton of the capture of Bomersund, the first
important achievement of the allies. This
fortress was the principal protection of the
Island Of Aland, the main island in group
of seven, to which it has given its name
situated at the extremity of the Baltic sea,
at the entrance to the Gulf of Bothnia, and
near the Gulf of Finland The Island of
Aland, proper, is nine leagues in length,
and seven in breadth, and has an estimated
population Of ten thousand inhabitants. =
The other islands Of the group are much
smaller, and have but sparse population. -
They were wrested from Sweden by Russia
i'll 1899, by the treaty Of Frederikshamn,
which secured to that power the remainder
of Finland and eastern Bothnia Russia
had already acquired the other part of Fin
land Ivy the treaty of Abo. The loss of that
fine and rich province was dreadful check
to the Swedish power. Their occupation by
the allied powers now, independent of the
excelIen! point they furnish as the base Of

Putnam, Withdrew their names from the
convention.
1t is my honest belief that two-thirds of
the voters of this district are outraged by
the nomination-and that the people will
put their seal on those found guilty of such
trickery.
Will the democracy of this senatorial and
congressional district again submit to such
abuse of their rights; or refuse to teach
those who seek to subvert their will, that
political dishonesty and the basest trickery
shall no longer prevail? And, besides all
this, does Mr. Commager entertain correct
views upon the great political questions of
the day? Let us see. In our courthouse
he stated that he was in favor of the bill or
ganiziEg Kansas and Nebraska, and in con
ventiou he stated that he was an anti-Ne-
braska man. It is well known fact that
seven-tcnths of the Democracy Of the fifth
congressional district are anti.Nebraska,
and what are we to expect from the election
of u man whose whole action is controlled
by few, differing with the great majority Of
his constituents?
Ihave thought it but Justice to the democ-
racy Of this county to put them in posses
sion of the causes which secured the nomi-
nation Of Mr.. Commagar.

THE THREE New
time ago we mentioned that the national
administration had framed a plan for organ
lzlng three new territorial governments in
the Indian country south of Kansas, to CON
sist seyerally of the countries Of the Chero-
KEGS in one territory, the Creeks in another,
and the Choctaws and Chickasaws in third.
This plan, il was stated on the authority of
a person who had arrived from the Chicka-
saw nation, had been sent out to be can
vaSsed by the tribes concerned and who,
under It, were to be constituted citizens of
the United States. At the last session of
the senate bill was presented BY Mr. John
son, Of Arkansas, which embodied the iea-
lures Of this scheme, and which, though it
was not acted on, will probably form a sub
ject Of discussion at Washington next win
ter. This bill proposes, with the assent Of
the tribes named, to extend over them the
constitution and laws of the nion, and 70
organize three territories, of which the In
dans are to be recognized as citizens The
title Of the first of these will be Cher o. kee,
and will include the Cherokees, OSages, Sen
ecas, Shawnees, and Quapaws The title of
the second is to be MuscOgee and it will
include the Creek and Seminole tribes and
the third is named Chah-ta, and will include
the Choctaws and Chickasaws. 1t seems
probable that action was only DELAYED upon
this scheme in Congress in order TO allow
time TO secure the consent of all the tribes
design ated. Efforts are now being made to
this end, and possibly the next session of
Congress will witness the passage of the
bill. i North American.

occurred:
The noble looking chief, who was the spokcs-

War at some length, detailing the outrages and
wrongs on their tribes by the neghboring tribes
who had not come into their treaty. Thereupon
MIR. Davis, using the fguratiye style of speech
employed by the chief, remarked to him that " if
the hostile tribes with their horses, trod out the
figures of the calico which their great father had
given them, he would SEND his braves to tread
out the grass that grew in their villages"

ID The extension and the diversified appliea-

those sections where capital Is the chief want.
ID. TIE establishment of n full direct trade
and intercourse between the Southern seaports
and the great European markets.
Ith. The consideration of the great questions
of Atlantic and acific communication, which
are now invested with additional interest by the
Gndsden treaty. While the South and Southwest
generally are deeply interested in this topic, the
two cities of Memphis and Charleston, with all IN
termediatc points are especially Interested in the
southern route. Other topics, of course, will
suggest themselves readily to all who are any
