YANkToh RA,LRoAp BONDS;

The different portions of the Territory,
outside OF Yanktcn, have had more or
less to say about the Capital city. In this
cry we have never joined; but We must
say, that if the Territory At large ever had
occasion to complain of Yankton about
anything, it has been in reference to her
railroad policy. Four years ago Clay
county was ovenun with Yankton men,
predicting the utter ruin of our county
and Territory if we failed to vote bonds ia
aid Of the railroad then being projected by
that city. But Clay county very properly
refused to vote bonds; Yankton county
did, almost unanimously, in the amount Of
$500, 900, which she offered a. donation
to the road The road was built and
Yankton was thereby made what it Is.
Having received the benefits, Yankt0n ct
ones commences her efforts atrepudiation,
and at late term of the Supreme Court
Of the Territory, il was decided that Yank-
ton county is not legally bound to pay The
bonds. There may be legal reasons why
the county cannot be compelled to perform
her part of this contra1t, but 70 outside
parties II will never be locked upon as
anything else than reputation, and II any
Of our sounticz should attempt to fsise

The Kentucky Republican State Con.
vention met in Louisville on the 18th, and
after adopting a platform, elected full
delegation to the National Convention in
favor of Secretary Bristow for President
One plank of their platform opposes any
postponement of return to specie pay
ment beyond the time now fixed. The
following section was read amid great .p.
plause:
"As Kentucky gave Abraham Lincon to
his country and to mankind for great
works by him, she now presents Benja-
min D. BristoW to complete the correction
Of ills ever incident to war His past con-
duct in office is the truest evidence of his
future course. He has been true 70 the
Republican principles in war and in peace,
ever manly, calm and courageous, and ev-
er faithful in the discharge of his duty.
His persistent. and successful warfare
against corruption deserves the thanks uf
all friends Of honest government. In thus
presenting and commencing our fellow
citizen to the Republican National Con-
vention we are not unmindful Of the dis
tinguished services and worth Of other
Republicans. We trust the Cincinnati
Convention will present as a candidate
such man whose allegiance to the party
has been proved and who has the moral
courage to enforce the law" '.

read and referred, reciting that while it is
not the policy or purpose of the Method

connect the Church with State or to bring
politics into our religion, yet in view of
the impicty, unfaithfulness and corruption

by every just and proper means to place
in all civil offices OF the government only
such men as are known to possess and

the Western States after the "favorite-son-

the West, if forced to an acknowledgment
that he cannot be nominated, win un-
doubtedly to over to Blaine; and the
Blaine men in the West when convinced
that their candidate cannot tie nominated.
will go over to Bristow. The situation ii
rather cheerful, on the whole. It is per-
feet certain that ,Bris.ow can be elected if
nominated, and that probability viii be-
como certainty if The Democrats make a
mistake in the selection Of their man at

way whereby the Republicans Of the East,

A letter from Constantinopls under date
Of the 18th inst, says the excitement, dur
ing the last three days has amounted to
panic. The demand for weapons, both by
Sofas and Christians, is 50 great that most
Of the shops in Stambaul sold cut all their
stocks. The Sofas, that is, all the persons
attached to the Mosques in any capacity
what ever, are practically nasters Of the
situation. They number about 10000 and
theis influence over the Protecorate is SD
premc They threaten the Sultan aud his
ministers and sometimes the Christians,
although quiet now. They profess to be
friends to the latter. Yesterday great
number of them went to the palace aud
demanded the dismissal Of Grand Vizier.
Mahmoud Fediu Pasha, and the Chick
hull, Islom and Minister of War. The.
Sultan resisted for an hour, but tho clanor
by the mob finally induced him to demand
the resignation Of MahmoNd Nedim
Pssha, the Grand Viziar. In q general
rising of Mahommedens large colonies Of
European subjects in Constantinople and
along the Bosphorus would be in greater
danger than the native Christians, because
their wealth would constitute an addition
al stimulous to the religious zeal Of tho
Turkish rabbla. This danger the respect
i've ambassadors haze provided against as
far as the means OF their disposal allowed.
