Turkish representatives, aDrOau
have been instructed to declare that
any intervention incompatible with
the dignity of the Independence of
the Porte. will be rejected. 1t is ex-
pected that England will advise the
Porte to consider Count Andrassy's
programme. If the Sultan declines
to do so, the rebels will be likely to
derive greater advantages than ever
from the countenance of the Monten-
egrins and Dalmatians.
The French Minister of Public

The officers of the govern
ment have seized an establishment
which was manufacturing whisky
secretly and without license. 1t is

A Chicago Times Washington spe-
cial says Scleicher, of Texas, chair
man of the special committee on the
Texas border, will call his committee
together Thursday for the purpose OF
organization. 1t is not the intention
of this committee to go to Texas to
examine the evidence which they
are to lay before Congress, but they
will summon before them the army
officers who have served on the
border, and will make free use of the
reports which have been made to the
War Department at various times by
different committees and officers who
have been sent there. Schleicher
thinks the only way to put an end to
these border outrages will be to in
crease the number of troops stationed
on the Texas frontier. He thinks 2000
men, judiciously posted along the
Rio Grande, would have the effect to
put an end to the systematic line of
stealing that bcs been carried CIR so
successfully for Sc many years. There
is n strip Of territory along the NORTH
ern Mexican bUrder which Is called
the free belt. In 1t no taxes are col
lected for revenue or customs and the
result is 1t is filed up with a gang of
vagabond5 whose business is murder
and cattle thieving. The Mexican
authorities too, have encouraged this
system of cattle thefts in the follow
inn n,annnr. Snnnn nf fhnir nnrrhav~
would go to the Americans of the
Texas border and ask figures for cat
tie, of their owners, and when the
prices were given they would not
agree to give them but would go
across the river and make contracts
with thieves, who would 60 ove to
the American side and steal the cat
tie from their wner The people
have become so thoroughly ex-
asperated by this protracted condi-
tiOn of affairs that they have finally
resolved that they will put an end to
1t If the government does not. Mr..
Schleicher thinks the st~ationing of
more troops in Texas is positively es-
sential to save war, as the people, If
not protected, will organize and cross
the border and retaiiate. Their re-
taliation will constitute an act of ag-
erosion upon our part, and therefore
form Il basis for war. He expects to
present his report to Congress within
a month, and only asks Congress to
station more troops there than have
hitherto been allowed, 1000 being the
limit asked.
A Berlin dispatch sets at rest re-
ports to contrary by stating that
the Prince Imperial, Frederick Will
liam, has decided not to visit the
Philadelphia exhibition for several
reasons. The most important of
which Is that the condition of the
Emperor's health renders the absence
of the heir to the throne unadmis-
sible. -
The Marquis of Ripon, the English
nobleman, who recently embraced

The New Hampshire Democratic
platform, adopted by the State con
%vention, last Wednesday,, recognizes
as final the settlement of the issues
involved in the late civil war and the
binding force of the constitutional
amendments; favors Il return to
specie payment and retrenchment
and economy in the public expendi-
lures. The platform is alike
opposed to a third Presidential term
and to the present chief executives
using the great trusts incident to his
Office for personal and family aggran-
dizement, by infiaming sectarian ami
mostly and by interfering with the
course ofpublic justice toward defraud
ders ofthe revenu and their abettors.
1t demonstrates the wisdom of the
fathers and enforces the belief that a
third term would be dangerous to the
liberties of the citizen and the pros
perity of the nation.
