FOREIGN NEWS,


The French and German plenipotentialies
to the conference on the Eastern Question, as
well as Lord Salisbury, from England, have
arrived at Constantinop!e, but seem thus far
to have had no formal session. Il is said,
however, that an understanding is established
that decisive concessions must be obtained
from the porte, assured by substantial guar
antees.
No idea is entertained, however, that the
conference can avert war between Russia
and Turkey. At best, by keeping England
from taking sides with Turkey, it can only
avert general European war As for Eng
land, she has evidently given up all idea OF
fighting for the Turk against Russia The
London Times even resents Indignantly the
hlnt thrown out by Bismarck, that England
might wage sort OF unofficial war" against
Russia, similar TO Russia's proceedings in
Servla, by slyly furnishing Turkey with mu.
nitlonS, officers and men. England, the
Times protests, will do nothing of the kind.
certain important points in Egypt to secure
her Aslatlc possessions.
As to Germany, Bismarck fully defined her
position in an elaborate speech IN tn parla-
mcnt at Berlin on the 9th. The alliance be.
tween the three Emperors Austria, Germany
and Russia he said still existed in its full in.
tegrity Should Russia find 1t necessary to
90 to war with Turkey Germany cannot dis
approve Of the step, At the same time, Ger
many is equally DESTROYS to maintain AMIGA
blerelatlons with England, and he apprchend-
ed NJ difficulty whatever in doing So.
Russia, meantime, seems to ignore the
conference, and is engaged in rapidly sending
her mobillzed regiments south, 600 armed
men being alrea " on the Pruth. The Turks
also are making preparations for the coming
struggle with terrible earnestness.

CONGRESS.

Congress met on Monday, and in the house
at once proceeded to elect speaker TO ill the
vacancy caused by the death of Speaker
Kerr Sam. j. Randall, the caucus nominee,
was elected, receiving lG1 votes t. Garfield,
republican, 81.
Banks wanted Bedford, the member from
Colorado, admitted before the election, but
the house referred his credentials To the com
mittee ON elections.
On motion of Hewitt, three select commit
tees were appointed, one TO proceed at once
to South Carolina and investigate affairs there
connected with the late election; another TO
prosecute like investigation in Florida ;
and another To investigate louisiana.
In the senate, on motion OF EdmundS, IA
similar committee was ordered to investigate
the subject of "bulldozing" generally IN the
southern states.
An earnest debate in both houses took place
on Wednesday after reading message from
the President transmitting To the two houses
Sncrman's report on what he saw while
watching the returning Louisiana board The
senate ordered the report, with all the accom-
panyinc evidence, 10 be printed, butth house
declared It OK parte and unfair, and laid it on
the table.
On Thursday McCrary, in the house, offer
ed a resolution for "a join, committee 10 get
up a new joint rule by which 10 count the
vote; and IN HE senate, on the
same day, = similar motion was made by Mr..
Anthony.
About dozen OF propositions have already
been offered To ameld tle constitution, all

Among them, OF course, Is Morton's project

The famous 22i JOINT rule OF congress-
adopted in 1872, and by which the two houses
assumed the power to examine INTO and pass
upon the electoral votes Of the States and to
exclude such as either house might object to
from the count, it seems was never repealed,
and having been the joint act of both houses,
It IS contended that both houses must con
sent to its repeal. The president Of the Sen.
ate, however, on Tuesday, undertook to re.
peal it indirectly by deciding, with reference
20 another rule, that all JOINT rules terminate
with the congress that adopted them.

They have had queer case OF robbery in
Bloomington. An exchange says, several
weeks ago II suit of clothes was stolen from
the house Of L. +. Watson, and in the pockets
were sum of money, with other valuables,
and diamond pin worth $50. Sunday
morning Of last week, Watson found note
under the door saying that he should look in
The cupboard IN the cellar; and 10, the suit,
money, and all but the pin, were found all
right In the evening another note WAS found.
1t read: "Uunder the box In the walk, In.
side of potato The HINT was taken, and
behold, the pm was found inside baked po-
tato. 1t is decidedly queer, and "A little
light on the subject would be gratifying.

England.

1t looks as il England had concluded on a
back down on the exradtion question. The
misunderstanding growing out of the release
by England of Winslow from arrest has led
tC II revision of the treaty and now England
orders the re.arrest and eXtraditiOn not only
of Winslow, but also of Brent, the Louisville
torger, and Of Gray. England, il seems, don't
care TO become an asylum for American ras
calls, and when claimed by the U. S. hereafter
they will be be delivered up with no worry
as TO what they are to be tried for.
\ terrific gale has prevailed on the British
coast since Saturday. Floods are reported In
many places and mucA damage, as well as
numerous disasters to shipping. The steamer
Prince foundered OF Shields in the storm and
all on board, II IN number, were lost.
$i35,OGJ in gold eagles on Friday, and
100000 on Monday, were withdrawn from
the Oank for shipment to the United States.

THE MESSAGE,

We give the last annual message of Prcsl-
dent Grant on the 9th page. 1t has the merit
of bting short, but otherwise is tame, dull
Spiritlcss document The Prcsden, apolo
gizcs for his many mistakes while preslden,
by reminding the country that he had had no
previous training for the office, and had 10 re
ly mainly for guidance on the advisers with
whom he surrounded himself, and many of
whom were not what they ough to have been.
IA statement which the country doubtless
endorses Then he cannot let the occasion
pass withoutspurtIng "A mOu,hlul of impotent
venom al the northern democracy, whom he
cOarScly and falsely accuses of having sym.
palhized with the rebels during the war and
been "an enemy in the rear" After giving a
very dali and imperfect Statement, of the con.
dilion of the country, its foreign and domrs
TIC relations, finances, &c, hc winds up with
final childlike whine over the utter iailur,
Of his and Babcock's famous san Domingo
annexation project. The present ALARMING
condition of the country, brought about main
ly through his reckless and unconstitutional
inlermeddlinc by military force in the do
mestic affairs of the states, receives no further
attention than an intimation that some |, gis-
lation or amendment ofthe constitution seems
necessary 10 simplify the present electoral
system; and then he thinks, also, that the pc
ltical condition might be improved by Il gen.
eral adoption Of an intelligence qualification
for voters,-a recommendation in which the
country would doubtless have heartily con-

RETURNING BOARDS.

The returning board OF Louisiana, as an
tcipated, wound up It's business on Tuesday
by giving the electors of that state TO Hayes
and Wheeler by an average majority off, 5000,
and electng Packard Governor and giving
the republicans the legislature. BY what
process of arithmetic they did thus is hard
10 tell. Even after throwing out the vote of
were called, Tillen had majority of over
so and the democrats had the governor and
legislature. What other parishes they threw
out at their final secret session nobody seems
to know or to be able to guess. To show the
mons,ious character of their action let the
reader compare the vote Of Louisiana with
New York. The former state polled about
10000 votes, New York 100000, y ma.
jority of 10000 to overcome in Louisiana,
which was Tildeu's honest majority on most
of the electors, and adding 1900 to the repub-
lican side, was therefore equal to change of
over 10,OU0 in New York. Would any re-
turning board in that State have the nerve,
even supported by federal bayonets to throw
out such vote when not vote given was
challenged as Illegal and thus defeat the peo-
pies choice for preside
In Florida, the democratic majority was
clear and indlsputable from beginning TO end,
but the returning board consisted of two re-
publicans and one democrat, and 1t was that
majority of one, and not of the vote of the
people, that prevailed and gave the state to
Hayes, Stearns, and four years more of ras-
cality,
The South Carolina returning board, hav.
ing consummated the outrage OF cheating
Til3en and Hampton, in defiance of the man
date of the Supreme Court for which they
were sent TO Jail, are out on writ of habies
corpus Issued by |. 5. Judge. After all
the mischief they aimed at Is accomplished,
they will probably be discharged on a nomi.
nal fine.
The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1876-12-09

Another Of the miserable farces which the
recent monstrous swindle of the Louisiana
returning board will call for a repetition of
will be the election o Il United States Sena-
tors. The Senate Of the United States here
tofore has twice rejected Pinchback because
he was elected by a legislature fraudulently
counted in by precisely the same returning
board, and under precisely the same state Of
facts under which the Hayes electors and II
republican Legislature were counted in
against the votes of the people on Tuesday.
The senate, to be consistent, must again re.
Ject the senator this body elects; yet while
condemnlng the fraud by rejecting Pinch
back, they are ready to endorse 1t by count
ing the Hayes electors.
