The Times announces that a Russian ex.
petition, organised with great secrecy, has
started to occupy Merv, and is probably
by this time in possession Of o city which
is the best stepping-stone to the conquest
of Herat. Russia cannot, however, even
if she can hold Merv, attack Herat from
thence without resources which as yet she
has no means Of accommodating on the

is towards Herat that her statesmen ara

The state Of affairs in the City is a little
unusual. So great is the supply Of money,
that the Bank-rate is only Q per cent, the
joint Stock Banks are giving only l per
cent. for deposits, and money can be had
on good securities to any amount at u
per cent. Capitalists are steadily buying
ConsoIs, Indian Funds, Colonial Bonds,
and the like, and competing for new issues
of French Exchequer Bills. Neverthe-
less, business is not extensive, new com
nanies are not started, old companies COM
plain Of "restrictions," and the Stock
Exchange is as, sensitive as a barometer
in q thunderstorm. On Thursday there
was q sort of panic. The thousands
of persons who hold Turks" because
Lord Palmerston believed in Turkish re-
generation, were alarmed by the kilograms
from Bosnia-they do not know where
Bosnia is, but that makes no differ
enoe-and sent up such orders to sell that
for some hours Turks" found no purcha-
sers. All other stocks suffered " in sympa-
thv"-that is, holders feared ifTurks went
to pieces there would be fewer buyers for
anything else-and owners must in one
dav have lost millions. The truth seems
to be that confidence has. recently received

muIatas without being used till the re-
~servoir is over-full. If the process Iasta
much longer, some genius will hit on some
probably profitable use of capital-per-

DESTRUCTION OF AN ACADEMY By
FIRE-We learn from the ltomney
Mteiliyeacer that the Academy in
Springfield, Hampshire county, was
entirely destroyed by fire on tuesday
morning of last week. The fire when
lisc,verei about o'clock, had made
such progress as to preclude any effort
TO save the building, 1t is supposed
that the FIRE originated OH the second
door of the building, from burning
coal from the stove falling on the
floor. The Academy was erected a
few years before the war, through the
idomitable energy, by subscription, OF
the late vcuerated Rev. William A.

WE have received a copy OF the

nosition in relation to the candidacy

ate Is combatted. IN a very courteous
manner We fail TO see any argu-
ment in it against our proPo>l'Ion'
tbatis that in the Senate Mr. Faux
ner would be only one ola Poweriess
minority, while in the House OF hep
resentatiyes, he would assume the
position of y leader in powerful ma
jOnty. -
With all Difference to Mr.. Faux
ner. we think that in the Democratic
minority in the Senate there are sew

MS superiors. We believe that a a

tent TO leave the interests OF the par

For ourselves, we must say tAat
the use which was made of the United
States troops seems TO have been an
extreme exer ise OF power, and one
for which the President, who Is prim
arily res ponsible tor it, must find II
difficult to show adequate authority.
The United states guarantee to each
State a republican form Ct govern
ment. and, on each requisition, pro-
tections against domestic violence.
In this case there was no recent re
QUESTION, and there WAS no actual vio
lence. The Governor called III the
troops in anticipation OF his own help
lessness, and engaged their command
er in acts which nave never vet been
performed by a United St ties Army
officer. The troops did not aid the
State forces They replaced them
We do not believe the country will
regard such a procedure with appro-
val. If it does. the consequences 10
our system of Government can not be
