Advocates of schemes for trans

Government will find little encour-

ment in Great Britain, where, if any
where on earth, it might besexpected

AN ALABAMA INCIDENT.

NAo6Ay. J. AAAeS'/ ~A"o" ''e0
gives the following particulars of a
shooting affair at Perdido
Station, Baldwin County, in that
State, on Monday last:
"Mr. Dryers, a Justice of the Peace,
had a stockrange in which the stock
ofhis neighbors ran at will. For
some cause he resolved to fence other
stock off this range, and did fence
them of,-leaving it open to his only.
A family by the name Of Hadley,
and another by the name of Stewart,
friends and relatives each OF the
other, became enraged at Bryers's
conduct. On Monday last the Had.
leys and Stewards, six in number,
rode up to Bryers's residence and
called him out. They were armed
with double.barreled shot-guns, but
not dreaming that they meant to
harm him, the old man and one Of
his boys went out to meet them. As
these left their door the six men at
the gate opened fire upon them, kill
ing both. Another son of Bryers's
who was in the house when the firing
began, seized a shotgun and rifle and
ran into the yard. Meanwhile, how
ever, the party at the gate had taken
to cover, and those of them whose
weapons had not been discharged il
the first onset, shot the third son
their shot taking effect in his side
But he held his ground bravely and
| with such effect that he succeeded il
killing two Of his assailants anc
wounding a third. The others fed

gone. The answer Is not difficult. The
Turks In Europe have few Of the vices char
acteristic Of the Western civilization. AS
nation, they neither drink nor gamble
sporting fraternity does not exist among
them pictures are interdicted by the Koran
their literature is about as far advanced as
English poetry was at the time of Chaucer
clubs and scientific societies are as rare
among them as they were at the
time Of the yandals and Goths
politics furnishes few channels for
the disbursement of money. Thus cut off
from many sources of Western expenditure
and extravagance the query is, What be-
comes of their revenue? 1t is spent in the
harem, and two articles of merchandise con-
sumo the bulk of the annual outlay after
excepting the cost of living-slaves and
jewels. No Turk can exist to his own salts
faction without a liberal supply of
menial labor nor can he maintain
household, constructed on the Turkish
ideal, with a well appointed harem,
without q profusion of gold ornaments
and an abundance of precious jewels.
into jewels, for this places his property be-
yond the reach of the tax-gatherer, who, un-
der no pretext can enter the harem of O
subject. In this manner have millions and
millions of pounds sterling been put beyond
the reach of process or conquest and it
may be said truly that in the harems of the
Turks lie all the substantial wealth Of the
Empire.
The Khedive has been in the habit of MAX
ing frequent visits to Constantinople,
carrying with him enormous tributes
to the Sultan-on one occasion as
high as fifteen million dollars. But
now the Egyptian sovereign is himself
sorely in need of money, and can no longer
respond to menace or command. At this
juncture the feeced Englishmen come for
ward and demand the occupation Of
Egypt, looking upon the Khedive as a re-
sponsible indorser of the Turkish bonds.
This is absurd. The connection between
Egypt and Turkey is titular, and is scarcely
stronger than the relations which make Ser
via part of the Empire. Besides, the
Khedive, by an economical administration,
by constant attention to the progressive
policy he has long pursued, and by prac-
tical dissolution of all copartnership with
sinking Turkey, will be able to weather the
storm. Egypt is country that never fails
in abundant crops, and her cotton, sugar,
grain and gum, with undertaking certainty,
are poured into the markets of the world.
The Khedive, therefore, deserves in large
measure the sympathy and support of Chris
tendon, or, as Sir Samuel Baker puts it, ''all
chivalrous friends of the Khedive should
now rally around him."

stream flowing to the sea. So that the source
OF the Nile-the ultimate source-is not one
Of relative elevations above the sea- but OF
water supply, and this is the practical as
well as sentimental aspect of the question.
The next intelligence we receive from Mr..
Stanley will introduce this interesting fea-
ture. He has already started for the Albert
Lake, has probably launched his boat upon its
waters, and, with his instruments in hand has,
we believe, long ere this settled the question
that has SO often and SO fruitlessly agitated
the world. In this journey to the Albert Lake
Mr.. Stanley must encounter perils which we
are loath to exaggerate yet which may cost
him his life. The brave de Bellefonds, who
was the bearer of the correspondence pub
lished this morning, was cruelty put to
death, with forty of his people, in the very
country which Mr.. Stanley must traverse in
pushing forward his explorations, and Sir
Samuel Baker has written to gentleman in
New York that the HKRALD correspondents
position is extremely critical in consequence
of the fierce and warlike attitude of the
tribes.
Aside from the important geographical
features of this correspondence Mr.. STAN
ley describes with graphic pen new coun-
tries never before visited, types of strange
peoples, and gives an account Of several
stirring adventures which exhibit in manly
way the military side of his character. What
more stirring incident could very well en-
hven travellers diary than this 2 A native
in Uyuma had stolen some beads and these
he insolently held up to Mr.. Stanley's view.
"At the sight of this fred, and the man
the coasting voyage, his remarks on the
scenery and productions of the country, and
his royal reception by the Ugandian King
are not only effective pieces of writing, but
exhibit Stanley at his best.
In the midst of his great successes Mr..
Stanley has not forgotten the humanitarian
part of his mission. In cordial intimacy
with the renowned King Mtesa, he has sue
ceeded in makinga half convert ofhim by the
commemoration ofthe Christian as well as the
Moslem holy day. He tells us that Chris
tianity can gain an important foothold by
the shores of the Victoria Lake, and gives
such practical idea as to how missions
should be established that it will occasion no
surprise to learn that wealthy Englishman
has offered $50, 600 to carry out the explorers
suggestion.
The correspondence in its entirety we COM
mend to all Americans as containing the
record of achievements without parallel in
the history of travel.

The Egyptian soudan.

Now that Egypt may be the indirect cause
of war in the Old World, the letter we
publish this morning from Khartoum is Of
more than ordinary significance and value.
The Khedive, at time when serious fnan-
cial embarrassments are severely shaking
his sovereignty, is engaged in scheme
of exploration and conquest rarely
equallel in modern times. Assailing
Abyssinia with well equipped force
moving from the Red Sea, hosting the
crescent over Darfour and Wadai, establish
ing the Koran on the populous shores of the
Victoria Niyanza, he is yet, in the midst
of these far reaching schemes, obliged to
sell out nearly all his interest in the Suez
Canal to England in order to keep Egypt
from sinking to the degradation of Turkey.
At the same moment England is excited
over her interests in the East, for the utter
insolvency of Turkey has caused curious
public feeling throughout the nation. Pal
merston's policy of guardianship over the
Porte, and the expensive opposition of
Great Britain to Russias ambition on the
Bosphorus, are beginning To attract the in
dignation of English publicists. All at once
they discover that the protection of their
routes to their colonial empire is wantonly
extravagant and ruinous public policy. But
this is rather the talk of the capitalists and
investors than the deep seated feeling of Brit
ish statesmen. We are not prepared to say that
the Turkish bondholders are entirely wrong
in their bitter expressions Of lamentation
and protest. When they put their money in
these Oriental securities they, of course,
took all the risks incident to every invest
ment in the pledged faith of nation. But
they assumed that the Queens Ministers
were not standing behind o practically bank
rupt autocracy, which had neither resources,
progressive elements nor shred Of credit
left. Up to within very short time
all was rosy for the Turkish bond
holder. Did he not behold year
after year new and costly marble palaces
rising along the shore Of the Bosphorus
Was not splendid iron-clad feet, COM
manded by British officer, lying constantly
under the heights Of Pera2 Did not the
magnifcence with which the Sultan and the
Sultan's suite roamed over Europe give suffi-
cient confidence in the stability Of the
| finances2 But even if all Of this ostentation
were expensive it hardly accounts for
the great outlay Of money that has been
made in Turkey in the last few years, and
the bondholders wish to know whore II has

A Coop EXAMPLE TO FoLLow.-The SEN
sible and patriotic letter Of the Chief Justice
Of the United States has suddenly made him
one of the most admired and trusted Of
American citizens. He came into the ex-
alted position he holds M very generally
known to the people, though respected by
the whole Bar for his eminent legal attain
ments and high character. This letter, in
which he declines to drag the Supreme Court
into politics, will make him known and val
ued by all Americans as q man Who feels the
dignity of his place and has a sense of duty.
What an excellent example the Chief JUS
tice has set to the President If now General
Grant should in his forthcoming Message
formally pronounce against third term as
unadvisable and contrary to the spirit Of our
institutions he too would find himself ap-
plauded by the people, and he would disarm
his enemies in way which would please AL
his truest friends.

THE ISDIANs.-Just now the Indian ques-
ton is one of the most interesting questions
with which Congress has to deal, and every
thing which tends to elucidate it is Of the
utmost importance. The retiring Com
missioner of Indian Affairs has sig
nalized his retirement by an unusually
able and exhaustive report, which
we print this morning. Among the
many points which Mr.. Smith develops one
Of the most satisfactory is the progress of
the Indians toward civilization. His sug-
gestions in regard to the Sioux problem are
worthy of the serious attention of Congress,
since the feeding of the Indians as vagrants
and paupers can never be of any
advantage to the tribes. The oc-
cupation and possession Of the Black
Hills the Commissioner regards as inevitable.
In regard to the necessary provision for the
Temecula Indians in California, deprived of
their lands by spectators, he recommends
an appropriation of one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars to procure homes for them.
The whole document is replete with valuable
information, and its suggestions are generally
intelligent and we'll considered.

Challenge from Our Universitiea
10 Oxford, Cambridge and Dublin.

A Challenge from Our Universities
10 Oxford, Cambridge and Dublin.
The University crews in convention this
week at Springfield should take prompt and
effective steps to insure the presence at Sara
toga and Philadelphia in 1876 of the famous
Oxford and Cambridge teams, as well as one
from Dublin University. The time is ripe
for return of the memorable match which,
on the Thames, in 1869, awakened such an
interest wherever English is spoken or
courage admired. Among the many good
crews now in training we are almost certain
to give either or all of our guests from abroad
the warmest kind of work, while their recep-
ton both by the community at large, and
more especially by their hosts, the students
themselves, will be such as to leave
most pleasant memories of our Centennial
year and our land The committee of the
Centennial races have wisely insisted that all
club work be done in fours. Now let our
students seize the opportunity to discard the
unwieldy SKIES forever and row in craft as
other people do. The University contest
comes of in mid-July, the Centennial
in late August. In the interval New York,
Boston and Chicago, and even San Francisco,
would welcome the visitors to their waters
and throw open races sure to be inviting,
while Pittsburg and Buffalo would probably
not stay out in the cold.
The great annual Oxford and Cambridge
match is rowed in late March or early April,
and already the work of preparing for it
or more universities and colleges instruct
their delegates in convention to unite
in o manly and friendly letter in
viting these famous Britons to share
their great boat race on Saratoga Lake, or
row its winners on the day after. Put
Thomas Hughes on again for referee, receive
them on their arrival and care for them
while here as the London Rowing Club en-
tertained our men in 1869 Take unusual
pains to have this contest what good manage
ment can easily make it, and the hundredth
birth year of our country will well prove
most fit inaugural of o series of contests sure
to become annual, and to effect not only
eminent benefit to the cause of good rowing
among us, but to also increase the intelligent
good fellowship already existing between the
young men Of the two English nations for
which the Oxford Harvard match and the
visit of our rihemen have already done so
much

The Church Services.

Outside of the Roman Catholic and Epis-
copal churches, where the services yesterday
were especially appropriate to the first Sun
day in Advent, there was no marked feature
in the sermons of the day. Mr.. Hepworth
preached on progress in the Christian life,
showing that infdelity and unbelief are the
results of education and culture and that
faith is indigenous in the soul. Mr.. Beecher
illustrated the civilizing power of the imag-
ination and fatty repudiated the old doc
trine of the imputation of sin. Mr.. Alger
made plea for cheerfulness in religion. Mr.
rockingham discoursed in his usual style on
the giving of thanks when we have received
nothing to be thankful for, but he also
found many things for which we
ought to give thanks. In the Six
teenth street Baptist church Mr.. Jutten de-
livered eulogy on the life and character of
the late Vice President, Henry Wilson. In
some of the other churches there were ser
vices of a specially interesting nature.
At st. Cecilia's Roman Catholic church,
in Harlem, an interesting ceremony
the unveiling of Raphael's picture of st.
Cecilia-took place. but the most interesting
episode of the day was the return of Cardi-
nal McCloskey and his greeting to the
congregation. In q neat address he briefly
summed up the results ofhis visit to Rome
and to the Holy Father.

II Is REMARKABLE Story of the falling in
Of the roof of an extensive mine, which
comes to us this morning from the Wyoming
Valley in Pennsylvania. But for the fore
sight and humanity of Mr.. Roberts, one Of
the proprietors of the Chauncy mine, who
first perceived the danger and took the oper-
atives out Of the work, the disaster would
have resulted in a terrible calamity, involv-
ing the loss Of many lives. Such an act is
worthy of the highest honor.

WHEN IT Is ARGUED against Mr.. Randall
that he accepted the back pay voted by the
last Congress it should not be forgotten that
Mr.. Kerr, his competitor, also accepted back
pay when voted by Congress of few years
ago. The difference between Mr. Randalrs
position and that Of Mr.. Kerr is the differ
snce between cant and sincerity, and every
sincere democrat will rejoice in the oppor-
tunity to show his respect for courage and
manliness Of opinion by welcoming Mr..
Randall to the Office Of Speaker.
