The story by cable that France
agrees to favor Russian projects in the
East, viii, we presume, be duly contra
dicted tomorrow. Yet, there is a
verisimilitude about it, which, at the
least, indicates that sundry European
powers are devising combinations to
check Germany's badly disguised as
pirations for continental empire.
While it might suit France to
handy Russia; against Prussia for the
formers aid in Spanish affairs, En-
gland can hardly consent to the price
offered, carte blanche for Russian am
bition in the East. France is not in Il
condition to do much for anybody,
without the cooperation of either
England or Austria. Germany has
hitherto defeated one enemy after an.
other single-handed. In the next Eu.
rOpean war, she is certain to encounter
a coalition.

We have just learned that the Hon. W.
\. HOSkins, now resident of ChattanOO-
ga, has been most fortunate in his Specu-
latiOns in mineral lands in the vicinity OF
Chattanooga. For few thousand dollars
he purchased tract containing rich beds of
iron ore, which be has sold TO a company
for $4,000. The same company desired
an adjoining tract which Mr.. Hoskins pur-
chased for 5000. and turned it
over for 100000. Ii was done in
day, thus making in one day
$4,000. Sin c then he purchased for S25,-
600 bit Of land on the side of Lookout
Mountain, thirty miles long by one mile
wide, containing inexhauStible beds of the
finest iron ore in tie world. For this tract
an English company has offered him one
million of dollars, which was refused. IL
IS held at a million and quarter. In adj
ditiOn 10 all this, Col. Hoskins is the owner
Of coal mines in Eastern Kentucky that
will yield him large fortune. Il is said
that Col. HoSkins made the discovery o!
these lands and their value during the war.

THE last resort of the Spanish Re-
pubhcans for subduing the Carlist in
surrection is to buy off the leaders, and
we are told that FIVE million dollars
have been forwarded from Madrid, or
Berlin perhaps, for that express pur-
pose. This reverses the policy of the
old man in the spelling book, who first
tried persuasion, and then resorted to
stones TO dislodge the little intruder
from his apple tree. However, aftertry-
ing the Vi. ne Of hard blows some
years, it is time for the Madrid junta
to devise some means more effectual for
squelching the Carlists. According to
the modern doctrine that every man
has bis price, this new method for con-
quering rebels may prove cheaper in
the end. We commend it to the next
session Of the Boston Peace Society as
about the only practical mode yet sug-
gested Cor averting warfare.

ACCORDING to the official figures
telegraphed this morning, the Con-
gressional majorities in the Ohio dis
tricts, carried by the Democrats, sum
up 1858, while those in the Repubh-
can districts show total of l1,529,
leaving net Democratic majority of
23,124. 1t is to benotedfurtherthatth the
Republican majorities range ratherlow,
with the single exception Of Garfeld's
district, which was badly mismanaged,
two candidates running against him.
These slender Republican majorities,
ranging as low as 16O In one instance,
show that Ohio may go altogether
Democratic in 1876.

Manufacturers Undertaking Too
Winch.

Mr.. Grant, of the locomotive works at
Paterson, Y j., says the firm is in trouble,
but has not failed or suspended. They en-
tered into a contract with the Russian Gov
eminent, involving nearly S2,00O,0O0, to
furnish locomotives within certain time,
with heavy penalties in case of nOn-fulfill-
ment. He employed about 900 men en-
this work, but found that he would not be
able TO complete it within the time limited
by the contract. He had applied to the
Russian Government for an extension,
but the answer returned was evasive and
unsatisfactory. The penalties, if enforced,
would amount to about 100000, and he
did not feel justified IN going on with the
work under the contract, with SO great a
risk hanging over them. Therefore they
had been obliged to order the foreman to
discharge the workmen until further no
tice. Mr.. Grant proposed TO start for ST..
Petersburg Saturday and endeayOr to make
a compromise with the Russian authori-
ties, and then proceed with the work.
