LONDON, October IA Reuter- telegram
from Constantinople saye: At the extraor-
dinary council Yesterday, which decided to
grant q six months armistlce, strong oppo-
sition to any armistice was at first e0
pressed. The council agreed that six
weeks armistice, as proposed by the pow
ers, might from it's shOrtness, seriously
endanger Turkey in the improbable event
of failure OF peace negotiations. The
council therefore decided that the Porte
should communicate to the po wers the
conditions upon which it would consent to
q six months armistice, which, in it's opin-
ion, would nave the folio wing advsn tages,
namely: Enable the Porto to allsy excite
ment among Musselmans; not expose the
Porte to the risk OF having to resume hos
tilities during the inolement season, aud af-
ford an interval which would facilitate an
understanding upon the conditions of peace,
and the general reforms to be introduced in
the empire. Notification of the Porte's ao-
ceptaDce of armistice in this sense will be
made to the ambassadors to-day.
1t is believed here that tho POrte's condi-
tons will be accepted.
The Fsndncter. in leading article, states
very positively that it has reason to be-
ieve the POrte's acceptance of Earl Der
by's peace proposals will be announced al
most immediately.

Colorado.

To undertake to lie down the reports Of
the Associated Press is q heavy under
taking, but the Democratic managers are
equal to jobs OF that kind. The report
about the Colorado election is an illustra-
tion. With O view to breaking the force of
the Republican victory in that State the
most barefaced lies have been circulated by
the Democratic John Thompson in Ohio
and Indiana; but it is no use. One effect,
however, has been to induce greenhorns of
the Democratic persuasion to bet their
money, which they lose, of course. The
Democratic papers that have been circu-
their poor dupes are called on to pay up.
Colorado has been fairly swept by the Re-
publicans. There is hardly a greaee spot Of
the Democrats left in the State, 9 ach branch

EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
The Democratic macs meeting here to-day
was attended by about 200 white and 400
colored people.
Two cannon, q brass band, bread and bar
becued meats induced the colored people
to attend. The speskers we're listened to
with attention by all, and no interruption
or iDsul we're offered to any one. The
speakers we're Messrs. Nicbolls, Ogden,
jackson and Smith. General Nichols COM
planned of sickness. and spoke but . few
minutes. His remarks were conservative.
The other epes kers were, 80 ueusl, trying
to convince the c0l0red people that the
Democratic were their best triende, and that
all white Republicans in the South were
thieves and scoundrels. They manifested
60 much bite and prejudice that the
colored people were moro fully convinced
that they could not trust their political
rights in their hands.
Although quite q number of colored men
accepted Tilden badges to get some of the
refreshments, they will cast Republican
vote on election day. and no matter what
Democratic speakers and voters may say,
Tensas will poll her full Republican vote,
and continue to be the banner parish Of

licanism. TENSAS.

cure itself on top and tn slave underneath;
every one of it's interests was against lib

sustain it, but had opposed every effort; it
passed the infamous slave law; it wished to
call the roll of it's slaves at Bunker Hill; it
tried to dismember the Union, and now it

because he is in bad company. The Deme-
cratic party would run him a. it would
anything else, for its own interest, but
when it endeavored to induce the c0lOred
mau to trust it, it was too much like josh
Billings' mule, which, he eaid, would be-
have like q Christian to q man for fifteen
years, in oder to get q square kick Mt him
at the end. When the Democratic party
made that kick it would be it's last one.
A email pebble striking Mr.. Burch IN the
head, he denounced the Democrat who had
thrown it, but said it vas only another nail
to he driven in his coffin in November.
Mr.. Alfred Bourges followed in a short
spirited speech. referring particularly to
the efforts of the government toward edu-
cation under Republican administration.
They we're called ON to sustain that party.
There was room on the Republican plat

who were in the party of stagnant ideas
who were mistaking the sick donkey for

j. c. Walker, Esq, said he should be
short and sweet. He claimed that the
principles of the Republican party we're
the corner stone Of the country, and they
could no more do without them than with
out the government itself. He assured
them that the election of Hayes was sure,
and that it theo stood solid and steady the
Republican party's triumph would be for.

Captain Peter Joseph then closed the
meeting with few brief words and with
three r0usibg cheers for Hayes and Wheeler
and the other Republican candidates the
clubs marched of.
The meeting was remarkably success

The Democrats hold their own IN the con-

In Ohio the heavy Democratic gains from

that it will weaken the Democratic and
