The WAR RUMoRs.-The European
war alarm has something to dc, doubtless
with the activity in wheat for export
and in freights. But another cause
which has produced similar furries in
The g1a n trade this month is still in ep-
Grafton, and must not be lost sight of in
paying too much heed to the sensational
rumors that are ahoat. The season is
backward and the wheat supply moderate
on the Continent, chiefly in Germany.
Without the aid If single exaggerated
report about war, the demand for wheat
for export should be good. The guesses
which are made about complications be-
tween the great Powers are founded on
nothing but empty suspicious. The
conduct OF Germany, Russia and Austria
il the Eastern question at this juncture
is precisely that which three great ma
tions honestly striving to prevent war
would adopt. They have made PROPOSE
tions which, if accepted, must pacify
Turkey; and there is little doubt that
the Sultan will finally accept them, with
some slight notifications. For he is still
more interested in keeping the peace
than any one else. The English naval
preparations signify nothing. All the
Powers Of Europe are in the habit oil
getting ready for hostilities ON the slight
est alarm; and the very fact of theil
promptness of movement is one of the
reasons why, out of fifty wars that ar,
expected by spectators to occur, not one
comes off. The quick action of England
France and Italy only furnishes fresl
guarantees that the Eastern trouble will

THE ABSURDITY OF AND C0N1RAD1C-
TIoNs IN HARNEY's STORY.
WASHINGTON, May 3O.-There is
every reason to believe that the politi-
cal conspiracy against Speaker Kerr,
which it is now learned originated in
New York among a small gang of dis.
missed Republican officials, will be
thoroughly exposed before the inves.
tigation into the scandal has ended.
The witness Harney, who has not
staggered about so much to-day, nor
boasted so often that he had "killed
the Democratic party" was caught in
several contradictions of his testimony
yesterday, but to-day witnesses have
been summoned who will shsw con-
clusively that he lied in several essen.

conversed with no on this subject af-
ter it was first broached in the appral-
ser's office, and yet it will be shown
that he detailed quite different story

ling and company, He also testified
that Lieutenant Green accompanied
him to Mr.. Kerr's room at one of the
alleged interviews relating to the army
appointment. which Green pronounces
false, and will SO swear. Indeed
Green for many years has been con-
vinced that Harney pocketed his
money and never paid Mr.. Kerr cent
of it, as he claimed. In a general
way the more the story is dissected
the more it is regarded as false. 1t is
hard to make Mr.. Kerr's worst politi-
cal enemy believe that he would con-
sent to sell an army appointment to q
Republican official whose name he did

A Letter from. Samuel TOtclssend.

A person handed me the dirty sheet,
EUery Eoensng newspaper, whose edi-
tor some time since, was knocked in
the gutter for lying on one of his party
republicans, In his report of last Sat-
urday's democratic county convention
at New Castle, he states l was inter-
rupted whilst speaking, by fellow,
and that l retorted, and that there was
cry put me out. This, the people
think, who attended said meeting will
pronounce mistake. 1t was the party
who interrupted me that the cry to
put him out was against, and some par
ties came to me for my sanction, l said
no, was in favor of free discussion,
and that it was the duty of the chair
man to enforce order. Now, Mr..
thing of the E0ery EUenSng, whenever
/, Samuel Townsend, of Appoquini-
mink, New Castle county and State of
Delaware, am put out, or the attempts
made to put me out of county or
state convention, you will, think,
have the chronicling of one Of the most
terrible scenes that ever was enacted
in Delaware; for am enc of tho De-
mocratic white people, whose whole
life and energy has been devoted to
the people, and l have the strongest
proof that am respected by them in
their offers of office; but, unlike ninety
nine in a hundred, l respectfully de-
cline their proffered offers, but never
theless work OH for the democratic
white mans rights and advancement,
and think l am one of the most for+
giving politicians, as God has en-
tdowed me with the good sense to show
I up some hypocritical mortals and let
them writhe on in their slime. The
writhing of these fellows often affords
me great amusement.

ly decorated, however. His eye had been decora-
