How the London Conference Has
Effected Europe.

The semi-ofiicial Vienna Abendpost
has inst published series of articles to
show that in exchange for a Illuminating
restriction which had no political value,
Europe has obtained through the London
conference some substantial advantages
and Turkey increased securities against
Russian attack. These advantages
and securities are comprised IN three
valuable concessions made by Russia;
first the naturalization Of the works at
the mouth of the Danube; secondly, the
revocation of article fifteen of the treaty
Of 1856, by which no imposts are to be
levied for the works at the Iron Gate,
on the Danube; and, thirdly, Turkey is
now enabled to open the Black Sea to
friendly powers whenever she considers
herself in danger, while, by the treaty OF
1856, she could only do so if Russia
formally declared war against her,

GARIBALDI recommends his fellow
murderers in Paris to find another Wash
ington, to whom should be entrusted the
supreme control of affairs. Washing
tons are rather scarce. We have Grant,
who is called the Father of his Country,
because we presume he never told lie;
but he is at present busily engaged in
restoring peace, which he thinks he can
accomplish, if heis elected for four years
more; after that, he might be spared.
We can assure the Garibaldi roughs he
is the only genuine second Washington
alive.

Mr.. Seward In India.

Mr.. Seward arrived in India in the
early part of last month, and was every
whore received as an honored guest:
Upon reaching Calcutta, he was invited
to reside at Government House, and
was made the guest Of the Viceroy, the
Earl of Mayo. The Friend of India,
the chief newspaper Of Bengal, says
that Calcutta will give him reception
that he will remember with pleasure
and pride. He represents America,
and in honoring him for his own sake
we honor America also, and perhaps
may help little to retighten those
cords which, but for things that one
would rather now bury, might have
formed an ALLIANCE that would have been
the best security for the freedom and
the peace of the world. Mr.. Seward
will see India under the best possible
circumstances, and, provided he did not
stay in Calcutta too long, the climate
would not be likely to affect him unfavor-
ably. He is making a wonderful jour
new for man of his age, and indeed
there are few men living who have
travelled so many thousands Of miles in
distant countries as Mr., Seward during
the last three years.

The death Of the mother of Carroll
took place recently in Paris. This lady,
like the mother of the Gracchi, owed
her celebrity to her sons. -Four of her
five sons died for their country-one
falling at Varese, another at Ancona, a
third while leading a desperate attack
on Rome during the days Of the Montana
campaign, and fourth dying from dis
ease caused by his imprisonment in
Rome, while badly wounded during the
same campaign. Mrs. Browning and
Swinburne have each celebrated in verse
the patriotism and grief of Madame
Carroll. She received a magnificent
funeral in Paris, and it is probable that
a national subscription will provide a
monument for her and her brave sons.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Senator Scott has re-
ctived letter dated "Yorkville, 5. c., Oct.
29th," 10 which it is stated that Avery Tom
lisson and Bratton, who proved to be members
of Ku Klnx organization, with twenty or
thirty others fed even before finger was
raised or a proclamation issued. About l60
surrendered aud confessed. Ali are known,
aud the less guilty are psroied for want OF
means to keep them in charge. The evidence
is pilihg in so fast that time fails to do more
than pile it away until there is an opportunity
to examine it. Tie evidence is overwhelming
ly coniirmatory of the facts relative to the par
ties concerned in a large number of whippings
and in the hanging of Williams, in which
Bratton was leader and Avery an accessory
before the fact, of he murder of Anderson
Blown, in which Tomlinson WIS concerned,
the murder of Leet and that of Romidree, and
astonishing as it may seem, even the facts and
details of five murders which the writer, with
all bis knowledge of lku Klnx outrages, did not
suspect had been committed. "We have in
jail he says, "some thirty men who have
been concerned in various murders, most OF
them having made clean breast of it, and
showed that they were all committed by order
of the Grand Chief, Avery"
