Turkey, and that the personal relations Of
the Khedive of Egypt and the Sultan Of
Turkey are far from being friendly. Some
time ago revolt occurred at Yremen viii
lage, in ARABIA, near the Red sea terminus Of
the Suez canal, and to suppress it 10000
troops were dispatched there by the orders
of the Sultan. These troops remain at Yre-
men, and the viceroy of Egypt, dreading the
hazards of war, seems unwilling to take
steps which may indicate his willingness to
accept the gauntlet thus thrown down by
Turkey. The surmise is that Turkev, de-
string to resist the encroachments of Russia
in the East, wishes TO offer the Empire of
Germasy free transit through Egypt, which
the war might be likely TO secure, in return
for the aid that Germany might give Tur-

The Kentucky Election.

The Louisville Commercial forciblv and
joyously says of the kentucky elections:
Whatever may be the result of the
election Of yesterday, so far as men are
concerned. it is indisputable that its eff.
fects upon the future OF Kentucky will
be felt and acknowledged long after the
issues are forgotten. The Republican
ticket may have been defeated by a
large majority. Its opponents may en-.
JOY, with bonfire and torchlight. with
parade and glorifcaton, the present
and immediate fruits Of victory. Yet.
after all, the Republican party has
gained great and glorious triumph
one which will be felt when the names
of the candidates of yesterday are lost
among the host of triumphant or de.
teated politicians Of the past.
I'VE have said that in any event the
Republicans Of Kentucky may congrat-
ulate themselves on a moral victory.
Why? Throughout the length and
breadth Of our State the people. whose
interest is good government. have heard
the issues of the hour freely and openly
discussed. Men who have foryears been
accustomed to learn their political faith
from the adherents Of the Bourbon De.
mocracy have at last learned that there
are two sides to this and every other
story. Men who have for years accept
ed as unquestioned truths the widest
statements of local politicians have been
astonished TO find that the most solemn
assertions of partisans may with safety
be taken with some grains of allowance.
1.-The right and the policy of free dis.
cussion of all public questions has been
asserted and to a great extent admit
ted in the present canvass. This, we
take 1t, is victory for Republicanism.
There are other and, we believe,
good reasons why the election of yes.
terday is to the Republican party
great moral victory. For many years
immigration has passed us by. A wall
higher and more formidable than the
Chinese Wall has hitherto shut out and
turned aside the tide Of immigration
that ever flows from the East and Eu.
rope toward the West. A most mon.
strous breach has been made in that
wall by the election of yesterday. Tin.
vites to our untitled lands the CAPITAL
and strong hands of all Europe and our
Eastern States. 1t says that the dav of
brute force and barbaric violence is past:
that Kentucky is open to conviction to
all the new and grand ideas of modern
civilizations that the day of coercion is
past. and the day of discussion, free,
open, and untrammeled. commenced.
The old-time catchwords of the
dominant party in Kentucky will hence
forth decrease in potency until intelli-
gent men will be ashamed to acknowl.
edge they ever had power in this free
Commonwealth. We will hereafter
hear less of negro equality and all its
related humbugs than heretofore. The
vote cast by the colored Kentuckians
will be closely scanned, and in the next

An Extraordinary Murder Case.

A citizen of indianapolis, and one of
Hendricks county, were arrested
recently upon the charge Of murder
under peculiar, and if proved to be true,
most horrible circumstances. On the
18th of May, 1869, Mrs. Gossett, most
estimable lady living near Plainfeld,
Hendricks county, was found dead and
lying in the doorway of the smoke.
house. The circumstances caused much
sensation and talk, but after investiga-
ton it was reported that she had COM
mitted suicide from the excessive use
of morphine, and such was the verdict
of the coroner's jury. Several months
before her death Gossett had insured
her life in the Northwestern Insurance
Company of Milwaukee, at the agency
in this city, for $4,000. which he finally
recovered after much difficulty. About
this time Gossett joined the church, at
the persuasion of his wife, and became
Sunday school teacher, and here, it Is
alleged, he became acquainted and in
fatuated with Miss Phoebe Johnson to
the extent that it became neighbor-
hood gossip. Upon the remonstrance
of the church members at his conduct.
lie removed Iu'De 10 llllS Guy, pTONluec
for her, and spent half of his time with
her, keeping her at the restaurant of
John Bach, opposite the Union depot
here, placing her under his protection.
Here she remained for long while,
and Gossett was heard to say she would
soon be his wife. 1t is also alleged that
on the day before or on the same day Of
the alleged suicide, Bach started for
Hendricks county, and was there at the
time, and further, that the statements
Of Gossett as to his whereabouts and
condition about the time Of the suicide
were contradictory. All the facts and
rumors in the case have been carefully
gathered up, aud early this week re-
suited in the Hendricks county grand
jury indicting not only Gossett, but also
John Bach Of this city, for the murder
of Mrs. Gossett, and both were arrested
here to-day and taken to that county.
The means by which the parties are ex-
pected to be convicted cannot now be
developed, but the evidence is said to
be very strong as 10 the guilt of both

The Westfield Steamboat ExplOsiOn-A
Righteous Verdict.

The Coroner's jury. in the case of the
Westtield disaster, returned the follow
ing verdict, on Wednesday, Aug. 10th
That the deceased, Andrew Coyle and
others, died through the rupture or explosion
of the ferry boat Westfeld, on July l3 1871
that said explosion or rupture was caused by
flaw in the iron and by the negligence of
the engineer, Robinson, in carrying an over
pressure of steam; that the company are
responsible for the disaster, as the defect
could have been detected if the Staten Island
Ferry Company had had a competent super
intendent, engineer, and mechanics in their
employ, and are, therefore, crimnally neg
ligent We recommend the District Attorney
to take prompt action in the matter. We
also think that the Government inspection
is very imperfect, as now conducted"
There was one dissentient, Mr.. Kirt-
land, who believed that the flaw could
not be discovered by the ordinary meth
od Of inspection. Coroner keenan,, af-
ter the verdict, retired to prepare war
rants for the arrest of the President.
Directors, and superintendent Of the
Staten Island Ferry company; also for
the arrest of Robinson, the engineer.
The arrest will be made, when all the
directors of the Staten Island Ferry
company, as well as the Superintendent,
Braisted, and Engineer Robinson, will
have to give bail to await the action of
the Grand Jury. The District Attorney
has already taken charge of the case.

cally and without delay In reply to in.
quiries made, that official said that while
he would not divulge any private bust.
ness of the office, he did not hesitate to
say the community might feel as
sured that the District Attorney would
do his full duty in the premises. The
case had been investigated in very
able manner by the Coroner, and should
be promptly laid before the Grand Jury.
The statute applicable to this case pro-
vides that any Captain or OF er person
having charge of steamboat, or Engi-
neer having charge of a boiler of said
boat, who shall from ignorance or from
gross neglect, create an undue quantity
OF steam so as to burst the boiler, by
which any person shall be killed, every
such Captain, Engineer, or other person
shall be deemed guilty of manslaughter
in the third degree.

Scenes During the Communist Trials In

Late journals just received by the
foreign mails give interesting details of
the trials of commune prisoners in pro-
gress at Versailles. In the examination
of Asst the following colloquy took
place The president said to Asst, You

18th of March,"

"Were you not chief Of the Com
mune against the governments
"Yes," said Asst, "you attacked us
and we accepted the struggle"
"And you voted for the massacre
of hostages"
EYES," again was the firm reply, be-
cause when at war it is necessary to
resort to retaliation"
Murmurs of Indignation arose among
the audience, but Asst only smiled dis
painfully. The president asked
Why did you purchase sulphur

The accused retorted by observing
that they (the troops) had done their
worst by firing explosive shells into the
city.

Asst went on to say that he had not OPP
posed the execution of the law on hos
tages, but should not himself have
executed them. He had said that the
only way to save their brethren at
Versailles was to threaten reprisals.

He said he had signed the decree for

not signed, but admitted he had not
protested and never thought of resign

details which are brought to light at the
trials have created the profoundest in
dignation among the French public.

three colored delegates, we will proba-
bly find 80. Less hesitancy henceforth
will be manifested and expressed as to
the right and policy of educating every
child i'm the Commonwealth. The ques-
ton as to the right of colored men to
testify in our courts will soon quietly
disappear from our politics. The right
of all men tc equality before the law
will become more and more a pronounc-
ed, acknowledged, and admitted right.
Is not this a victory? As the smoke OF
the battle clears away, we are sure our
Republican friends will find new and
unexpected reasons for rejoicing and
graduation. few more such victories
to our Democratic brethren will prove,
as has been said. more disastrous than
confessed and signal defeat, for from
this day the tactics, the watchwOrds,
the principles of that party change and
take color from the advanced ideas OF
the time. Perforce, the new departure
commences to-day in the ranks of the
ranks of the Old Guard of the Demo
cratic party"

What Commissi PIeasOntOn Says.

Commissioner Pleasonton gives an
entirely different version Of his diff
ficulty with Boutwell, from any that has
yet been published. He says that the
principal objection to his adminlstra-
ton of the Internal Revenue bureau
was the fact that he had caused loss
of several millions of dollars to the
Government in the collection Of the in
come tax. He acknowledges this TO
certain extent, and says that it is well
known that he is opposed, on principal,
TO the income tax, and has labored to
make it as little burdensome as possible.
He claims that his personal relations
with the President are as cordial
as ever. and that his removal is
one of the acts of widespread con-
spiracy against General Grant. Pleason-
ton claims that in all his official actions
he has had the counsel Of the Finance
committee Of the Senate. and he has,
during the whole of his administration
of the bureau, been in almost daily con-
sutation with both the Senate Finance
committee and the Ways and Means
committee of the House of Representa-
tives. He says that Boutwell, has acted
in this matter under the advice of
Senator Sumner, of Massachusetts,, who
has been at his elbow all the time. The
fight, says the Commissioner, will come
on the confirmation of his successor,
Mr.. Douglas. Pleasonton says he will
have in the fight, in his support.
twelve of the Republican Senators and
all the Democratic Senators, and that
he cannot see, if his friends stick, how
Douglass can be confirmed. Pleasonton
is still, he says. an official Of the Gov
eminent, and he received, only day
or two ago, notification to this effect
from the highest judicial authority of
the Government. This puts at rest the
question Of the vacancy in the Internal
Revenue bureau. General Pleasonton
is very sanguine, and feels confident
that he will be sustained by majority
OF the United States Senate.

KILLED BY LIGHTNING.-The Alexan-
dlia (La.) Democrat of the 10th, says
that, during storm on the Bayou
Rapids on the It'll inst, two strangers,
who sought refuge under tree, were
killed by lightning. A letter and
memorandum book found on their per-
sons lead to the belief that the parties
were Canadians, named R. B. Buck and
Shoak. No effects or money were found
on their persons. In the memorandum
book was written Frank Meals book. y
The letters were from Kilbourn City,
Wis, and signed Fred. and Hattie, and
reference was made to Shoak being in
i'll health. The citizens of the bayou,
in the immediate neighborhood, gave
the bodies as decent burial as they
could under the circumstances. The
burial service was read and proper re-.
spect paid to the remains of the unfor-
tunate strangers.

THE EVANGELICAL, ALLIANCE SNrRRrn.

THE EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE SNUBBED.
Prince Gortchakof publishes repor.
of what passed between him and the
evangelical deputation of Fredericksha.
fen, in July. He says that, having
heard them, he replied that their mis-
sion had the appearance of interference
in the domestic affairs of Russia; that
she could permit no foreign interven.
ton whatever, and that the Russian
Government could not tolerate the sha.
dow of Intervention, from whatever
side it came. The missionaries ex.
pressed their respectful regret. He ac-
cepted the address of the American
delegation, to hand it to the Emperor.
The address to the Emperor of the
Swiss delegation, which was written in
London, he decidedly refused to accept.
He then explained that it might seem
invidious to only accept the address of
the American delegation, and requested
them to Withdraw it, which they mid.

Preparations for War.

The mails by the steamer Russia con
tain the following important dispatch
sent to the London Telegraph from SAILS
burg, Aug. 10:
. | have the best authority for stating
that the military organization in Russia
is now being pushed on at high pres
sure, the Prussian system of forced SER
vice, without exception, being rigorous
ly carried cut. In view of the enormous
extent of the empire provincial depots
are TO be established. Officers are exam
ming the frontiers and are making
reports to the government of the same
fashion which has given the Germans
such advantages in their offensive cam
paigns. The experiment is also being
tried how soon corps de arme advanc-
ing can lay down a line of railway to
bring forward its supplies. If what am
assured be the actual act,-and my in
formation comes from a good quarter
everything in a political sense promises
favorable for the future amicable rela-
tons Of Germany and Austria. The
only ground for apprehension is under
stood to lie in the possibility of an ALI
ance between France and Russia, and |
have reason for believing that this con-
tingency, if not the main cause of the
meeting Of the Emperors at Gastien,
will be one of the questions most seri-
ously discussed during their interview"
