THE TURKISH WAR.-Pfinee Milan.
OF Seryia, was on Tuesday formallylnotiii.
ed BY the various diplomatic agents at
Belgrade that the Porte had consented to
a prolongation Of the suspension Of hos,iI.
tiles, and that the peace conditions bro.
posed by the Powers recommended Inc
maintenance Of the status quo ante bellum
The Servian Government asked for time
70 reply TO the Porte's propositions. The
war party and the Russian officers are
using all their efforts to prevent Seryia
from asserting TO them. The Russian
and Austrian Consuls have asked oxplana-
tions from Prince Milan in regard to the
action Of General Tchernayeff and the
army in declaring him King Of Servia. aud
have also given him to understand that
such action is distasteful to their rcspec.
tive Governments, and would cause fresh
complications. The Porte has teleeraphed
Us Representatives abroad that Il has sent
$4,000 Turkish pounds to the destitute
Balgarians and that their villages win be
rebuilt. "a

Hon. ]. Morrison Harris.

On Wednesday, goth inst, tho Repub-
lican Convention of the Second Congress
sional District Of this State assembled at
Wayerly, in this county, and nominated
Hon. j. Morrison Harris as their eandi-
date for Congress.
The Convention passed curious reso-
luton to the effect that it did "sot ask or
need any pledges or professions from mr..
Harris; but looking to his record 10 the
canvass of last fall, in which campaign he
represented us and our interest for the
executive chair of the State, his past SER
vices in Congress, and his known character
as man, we are convinced that the 10
terest of the people of the district will be
safe in his hands"
Now, it Is little curious not to ask
Mr.. Harris to support Hayes and Wheeler.
From this it would seem that they do not
expect him to do so, but only use his
name as "forlorn hope" We rather
suppose Mr.. Harris would not caro- to 20
before the people Of the District upon such
a resolution. He generally Expresses his
sentiments, and If ever there was time
for him to do so, that time is..now.
Another significant resolution was offered
BY Judge Smith, of Carroll, and adopted,
that "in view Of the possible contingency
Of the nomination not being accepted BY
Mr.. Harris, that the Convention adjourn
subject to the call Of the chairman
Evidently the Republicans are at sea in
reference to the status Of Mr.. Harris, or
they would certainly have been careful
sufficient TO have given his ''pledges and
professions" in behalf Of Hayes and
Wheeler, as they would not be likely "a
forget so important circumstance. How
would they like to go through the cam.
paign with Mr.. Harris pronounced fol
himself as opposed to Mr.. Roberts and
nothing said in favor Of Hayes and Wheel
err? The above significant action. look,
as though they expect something Of thai
kind. And how would this appear befort

Would they not look upon il in the propel
light ?--Baltinioye Co. Journal, SEPT. rs

Another Score for Mr.. Tildsn.


II has already been announced that tho
taxes in Now York were reduced by Mr..
Tilden from $4,000, 900 to $4,000, 900.
That reduction was for the second year
os his administration. For the next fiscal
year they have been reduced 81, CIT ,506.29
more. The value of his services to the
people of the State of New York has been
very great. If elected to the Presidency
his services to the whole country would DO
incalculable. Such wise economist and
earnest reformer is just the man that IS
needed to bring the affairs of our govern
ment into proper condition, aud to reduce
the burdens of the people by looping Of
all useless Offices and cutting down every
unnecessary expense. This he win do, IL
elected, provided he has a Democratic
Congress to sustain him. Without Dem
ocratic Congress his efforts at reform would
be obstrueted, just as the retrenehment
measures Of the House were opposed by
the Republican Senate, last session, at
every stage of their progress, There can
be no sweeping reform without change
of administration and change in the
Senate. Sincere refomers who want to
see the expenses of the government reduc-
ed to what they were before the present
reckless extravaganza was inaugurated,
should vote for Tilden and Democratic
majority in both houses of Congress.
Then we shall have reform and reduction |
in taxation. Then We will have the gov
eminent in the hands of competent and
honest men, who will administer il for tho
good of the people, and not in the interest
of selfish leeches whose aim appears to be |
to deplete the treasury rs far US possible.
Then we shall have better times, and in-
dustry, now paralized, would receive its
just reward, and the country would so
forward again in its accustomed career of
prosperity.

General of the State lie was a member
Of Congress from 1888 to 1849, and a
Senator of the United States during the
years lS5O-5l, when he resigned, contrary
to the wishes Of his State. Mr.. Rhett be.
longed to the Calhoun school Of politics,
and, being man Of G eat energy of pur.
pose, became prominent in that connection
all over the Union. He headed the
Secession movement in the South, was a

The New York Tribune Of Thursday,
says Yesterdays coal sale showed con.
elusively that the low prices established
BY the first auction are to be maintained.
The public, however, will do well even
yet to buy sparingly. Coal is more likely
to be lower than higher. The coal com
Panies must throw it on the market in
large quantities, in order to meet their
obligations, and they must take for it
whatever they can get. Buyers have
heretofore had nothing to do in fixing tho
prices. Now they arc likely to have
everything, If they do not throw away
their opportunity by undue haste. .

CANADIAN PAPRRs.-We are indebted
to Mr., John F. Harris, of Guelph, Ont,
Canada, for several copies of the Hamilton
Daily Spectator, which contain accounts
Of the Provincial Exhibition, held last
week. The fair is held at Hamilton every
four years, and is largely attended, the
number present on several days being over
$4,000. The city contains about 10000
inhabitants, and, judging from the papers,
it is thriving and active city. The pre-
miums offered amounted to sl7,s41.50,
number of classes 81, number Of entries
9446. We regret that limited space will
not allow US to give an extended account
Of the fair and the entries, but if any of
our readers believe that Canada is of
no importance we advise them TO visit the
exhibit made byit at the Centennial. We
think is will thoroughly satisfy all minds
on that point.

We have given very little attention to
the charges made against Mr.. Hayes on
account of alleged fraudulent return Of his
income, for We are opposed to that kind
of political warfare, but the Chicago
Times is crowding him into very close
corner, on this subject, from which he and
his friends, it now seems, win be unable
to extricate him. The Radicals common
ced that sort of warfare upon Mr. Tilden,
but he has put them hOrs de combat. 1t
would be righteous retribution if their
own leader should be slain by weapon
similar to that aimed at Mr.. Tilden. And,
in truth, it now begins to look that way.
