these assertions. He said that in Mis-
sissippi his hands had come to him be-
fore the election and told him that the
Democrats were going to carry the State,
and asked if he thought it would be safe
for them to remain there. He told them
yes, and that ifany of their rights were
taken away by the Democrats he would
deed them his plantations. The Demo
Gratis came in power and did not abridge
single right of the colored man. They
are now prosperous and contented. He
said that he intended to meet his .Repub-
lican opponents whenever he could and
discuss political measures with them.
That he should discuss measures and not
men in a. dignifed and courteous manner,
and that he should exact the same treat
ment from the Republicans. He claimed
that as We had supported branches of the
Republican party under Carpenter, Tom
linson and Green, and they have notsuc-
ceeded in reforming the State, we now
have right to ask and expectthem to
assist us in this campaign. He urged all
to work necessarily and earnestly in this
reform, and concluded by expressing the
hope, that he would again meet the peo-
pie of Anderson after our State shall have
been redeemed from = Reppbli licanism.

TIE PAN-SLAVIC MOVEMENT

In spite Of diplomatic assertions to the con-
trary there are many strong indications of an
early abandonment by Russia OF the policy OF
nOn-nterfcrence in Turkish aff.lirs which she
has pursued since the close of the Crimean
war. The changed tone of the semi-oilicial
press of Moscow and st. Petersburg, the hos
filthy manifested toward German officers III the
Russian army, the rumorcd purpose of the
Emperor to abdicatc, the encouragement given
the Seryian Government to arm against
Turkey, and the constant support extended to
the little Principally of Montenegro, are all
indications that Russian statesmen are once
more looking with covetOus eyes upon the
mouths of the Danube and the shores of the
Bosphorus.
Even in a despotism public opinion in the
end makes itself felt and 0beyed. The so
called German policy" of the Emperor
Alexander, which respects the integrity of the
Turkish Empire. seeks to preserve the peace
OK Europe by an alliance with Germany, and
directs the MuscOvite desire for conquest
toward Asia, is intensely disliied by the Pam
Slavic party-an element that has grown from
small beginnings among poets and enthusiasts
to "a powerful force in the Empire. The Pan
Slavlsts entertain the most extrayagant ideas
"a 10 the destiny of the Slavic race. They
believe that it possesses q store of vital force,
preserved by Providence, to enable it one day
to conquer and rcinvIgorato the WORKOUT
nations of Western Europe, and give new
impetus 10 civilization. Ii Is the present duty
of Russia, they think, to forward this great
destiny by making herself the protector of all
Slovenian peoples, and freeing them from the
domination of other races. Among the
Pans avists are the orators, the poets,
the writers and the ambitious youth of the
country, and of late their IDEAS have worked
their way upward, until they have reached the
highest circles of the court and the army. The
Czarowitz himself is said to be Il convert TO
them. Certain it is that he is the hope and
idol of the party, and is expected, on his ac-
cession To the throne, to adopt its plans, SO
far mt least us they concern the Slavic popu-
ations in the North of Turkey. So strong is
the feeling aroused throughout Russia by the
prolonged struggle in Herzegovina that
change OF rulers may not be necessary TO
bring about the change of policy the Pan
slavists desire. In their arguments for inter-
ference on behalf of the insurgents they are
able to rouse the race sympathes, the intense
patriotism, AMI the religious prejudices of their
countrymen, and it would not be strange if
the Car and his advisers should be compelled
to yield
The Austrian Government, controlled by the
Hungarian policy of Count Andrassy, has
taken such a determined stand against the dis
memberment Of Turkey that it would seem
impossible for Russia now to interfere without
hrin cling on n war The beat ASSURANCE that
the two Empires will not come to blows is,
however, afforded by the financial straits that
both are in Russia would not know where to

These figures show that the proportion OF
reserve TO deposits and circulation is consider
ably smaller than it was even in 1873 ut this
time; that the proportion Of loans to deposits
has considerably increased within the past
month, but is still smaller than in 1873; and
that in demand for currency, or activity of
business, as represented by the proportion of
bank clearings to deposits, the change since
1873 has been very remarkable Three years
ago, transactions amounting to $4Gl per week
were sustained by 800 of deposits and $27
of reserve now the same deposits and reserve
sustain transactions of only 1854 per week.
In many respects business is much safer and
more healthy than it was four years ago, but
il would be well to remember that the de-
post of legal tenders IN the Treasury still
almost balances the return OF legal tenders
drawn out for Spring settlements. The
Treasury statement of Saturday shows that
81, 100000 in legal tenders were deposited
during the week.

Being in hostile country, the Egyptian
army in Abyssinia is beset with great Difficult
ties. King John discerns this, and has accord
lngly proposed onerous terms of peace. Since
however, the Khedive has at his command an
efficient army, organized by American officers,
he is not likely to relent. The main difficulty
arises from the unsettled condition of the
finances. According to Mr.. Cave, the civil
service is VIGOROUSLY corrupt and great waste
fitness is common. The Khedlve is compelled
to pay 13 per cent for loans (which do not
bring a single plaster to the Exchequer," the
proceeds being used to meet the floating debt
Under these circumstances he will find it diff
cult to meet the necessary expenses of the war;
He will, however, make any sacrifices rather
than fail on that account.

Is it possible that he goes into this trial ieel-
ing that he has only been unfortunate III
having been found out, and that his oiiense Is
SO common in Washington that he need feel
no shame at the misfortune
Among the incidents of the trial it is men
toned that after the adjournment Mr. Belknap
shook hands and exchanged cordial greetings
with various people, among whom were some
of the Managers appointed by the House to
prosecute the impeachment and it is said that
with one of these-Mr. Geo. F. Iloar-he ell
tered into friendly conversation. There Is
an impression in circles not political that the
crime which Mr. Belknap has confessed
is disgraceful. Were he other than
politician. it would so affect his stand
ing In society that upright and hon
orable gentlemen would AVOID association
with him. Offenders of his sort forfeit social
recognition. That is part OF the penalty
paid. IL is the unwrittcn law OF society.
But Mr. Bclknap, though guilty upon his own
confession of a mean and sOrdid crime against
the law, and of tie grossest possible violation
of a public trust. seems to have lost nothing
of social position by it, If we may judge by
the terms on which he stands with his prose-
cut0rs and the Court. Is it then really no dis
grace to sell the Offices of the Government

THE CONDITION or OUR BANKS.

The weekly bank statement shows that a
strong effort has been made by some of the
banks to check the outflow of legal tenders.
Nevertheless, the legal-tender reserve in
twenty-five banks is less than 10 per cent Of
their deposits and in some of them the pro-
portion is especially low. The Park Bank has
strengthened its legal-tender reserve by about
100000, and still holds only about per
cent of its deposits the Phenix holds only
per cent, and the Merchants only per cent.
That full credit may be given to those which,
though slender in legal-tender reserves hold
large sums in specie, we give a table showing
the deposits, legal tenders, and specie. and the
proportion of total reserve, of specie, and OF
legal tenders to deposits

A USELESS WfRNIyG,

President Grant was warned against Me-
Donald, then. Not by "A liccntious press. Not
by those malignant conspirators against his
administration, the Repu blican Senators who
opposed him in 1872. Long before that, soon
after Mcdonald was appointed he was warned
by a most intimate personal friend. No other
man had held closer personal relations with
Grant than c. w. Ford. From Ford Grant
had borrowed money in those dreary days be-
fore tho war, when his habits had caused
men to distrust him, and when he
had applied in vain for place
as County Surveyor at St. Louis. To Ford,
