GENERAL STUReEs said to a st.
Louis reporter;
Some of the reports speak Of Custer
dying With his face to the foe, amidst his
gallant little band Of officers. What
credit is he entitled to for fighting when
attscked2 Even 8 spider or en- ant will
turn when trod upon. Why was not
General Custer st the head of his troops
instead o. a long distance in the rear Of
them2 Why was not his body found
where the hottest fight occurred, instead
of back on that knoll?
Thisis most ungenerous and un-
manly. Sturges enjoys the unen-
viable distinction of traducing the
dead and misstating facts. The
New York Herald puts it mildly
for him, thus:
Colonel Sturges, the Colonel Of the
Seventh cavalry. will have the condo
lsnces Of the country upon the death Of
his son in the Yellowstone massacre and
the too apparent fact that ais grief has
affected his reason. This is the only
charitable construction we can place
upon the extraordinary declarations Of
he Colonel to the reporters Of the St
Louis journals.

EnxIand-S Position.

LONDON, j uly q. Eastern correspond.
ence recapitulates EngIand's reasons to
refusing to assent to the Berlin mem
orsndum and other matters, the sub
stance of which is already known. On
the 30th of May, Count OF Schonevsloff,
Russian Minister to Great BrItian, com.
municated letter to Earl Derby, con-
veying the views of the Russian foreign
Office on English policy. The letter COM
plains that Elliott, English Ambassador to
Turkey, seemed to approve of the Safta
demonstration and hints that England
had prematurely communicated the Ber-
lin proposals to Turkey, on the Slst OF
May. Earl Derby warns Minister Elliott
to be watchful, lest under the pretext OF
protecting Christians, a proposal is made
to summon fleets to ConstsntInople. He
orders him to Immediately inform the
home government of any such pro-
possl as mooted, so that they
may determine on their course.
Subsequent dispatches show denials
of all the powers, but they were instructed
to observe the treaty restricting the entry
of men -of.war to Dardanelle. On the
LIST Of July, Count Schonralloff asked
Earl Derby whether England intended
to observe strict non.intervention in the
war between Turkey and Servia, and he
replied undoubtedly yes, but it must be
clearly understood that the English gov
ernment enters into no engagements to
continue to abstain from Intervention in
an event, which, however, 1 cannot as
sumo as probable, OF the different course
being pursued by other powers.

Extrasiitton.

LONDON, July 2l.-The Standard says
we are warranted IN lnferring from Earl
Derby's language, when asking Lord
Granville to postpone his extradition
motion in the House of Lords, that
there is prospect of negotiations
for a renewal of the treaty on more sat-
isfactory basis. Minister Pierrepont
must either have made some distinct pro-
posals, or stated his belief that he would
soon receive instructions to do so. 1t is
probable, from the turn matters have
taken, that it may even prevent discus
sion in the present session.
A special from Rome says, Greece
seized six cannon at Corfu, destined Tor
Montenegrias Extensive military
preparations are progressing in Epirus
and Thessaly.
The Paris Opimione'S Janina special
says that the Turks are importing large
supplies of rifles and mountain artillery,
and are enrolling militia to suppress the
attempt at insurrection. Seven thou.
sand Asians are now stationed IN Thes-
sally.
The Times, reviewing the differences
between England and Russia, manifested
by the eastern correspondence, says the
policy of non-intervention was adopted
by England obviously because OF root
ed indsposition to intervene, bit 1t is
difficult to believe that Russia had any
other motive for the rescue, than an ina.
bility to discern how TO interfere etfectu-
ally.

ZACH CHANDLER and his National
Committee, who have charge of the
Hayes campaign, are said to be dumb.
founded at the news which reached
W Washington few days ago, TO the effect
that the Germans in Michigan, who have
heretofore acted with the Republicans,
are going over in large bodies to TildeD.
Their patience is at last exhausted, and
the possibility Of continuing Grantism
under another name has completely dis
gusted them, rs it has thousands of others
not blinded by partisan zeal. What
is true Of Michigan is equally so OF Ohio,
Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota,
and other States where the German ele-
ment is influential and independent. It
cannot be controlled by mercenary mana
gers and self-constituted leaders, who
strut about on the stage public affairs,
and assume TO own the German vote.
That day has passed, as MI Schurz and
some others have found out When last
heard from, Zah Chandler was pour
ing out the vials OF his
wrath on the heads oi
the "lnfernal Dutch"-as he calls the
Germans-and wearing Justify that the
campaign would cost twice a. much
morey as was expected, owing to this
rebellion He intends taking command
personally IN Michigan for time, in the
hepe Of suppressing this disatfection
and of patching up some
truce by which the stampede may be
stopped, He will find all his efforts to
this direction to be fruitless. A member
of Grants cabinet, whom his own people
in Michigan ignominiously rejected, and
who is notorious as among the most reck-
less and loose OF the Republican leaders,
is hardly fit missionary to convert an
intelligent people, who are tent upon re.
form and who mean to have change of
parties and men,. IN. Y. Sun.

QUITE an excitement occurred in a
neigbboring village, not long since, over
au attempt by an African buck, to entice
respectable white serving girl from her
home. To accomplish this purpose, the
negro wrote letter, signing the name of
white man, requesting an interview,
and stating that he could not see her at
the house, on account OF some unpleas-
antness that existed between the sup
posed writer and her employer. TIE
girl showed the note to some OF
her friends, and young man of
fered himself as substitute, and said he
would 60 to the appointed place and
meet the writer Disgusting himself as
woman, he went TO the rendezvous
that night The negro was on time
also, and supposing that the girl had re.
sponded to his invitation, he proceeded
to show the purpose OF. the meeting as
he understood it. He was saluted with a
pistol shot, which, though not aimed
at him, brought him to the ground.
Another one "brought him up
standing" and he scampered Oft as fast as
his legs could carry him. The next morn
ing it was intimsted TO him that it would
be healthy Tor him to step down and ont,
and he consequently stood not upon the
order of his going, but went at once. He
is we'll known hereabouts, and there
would not have been much mourning, if
one OF those pistol balls had went right
TO the mark and done its appropriate
work BGynesriLie Enterprise

John MOrrtssey.

From the New York World.
When John Morrissey was running
for State Senator last fall on a combina-
tion ticket between the Republicans and
anti.Tammany Democrats, the Repubi-
can papers throughout the country were
loud in his praise, and almost all indorsed
the statement of the Times Of this city,
of October 29th, which then said:
"Morrissey at any rate would never
take bribe, and has never stolen eny
money-rugged virtues no doubt, but it
is not everybody who can boast Of pos
sessing them. John Merrissey ought to
receive the vote Of every citizen"
II has never been charged that Mr..
Morrissrv, as state senator, stole anything,
sold bis vote or was tool of the lobby,
AS did some OF those legislators who now
supper. Hayes and Wheeler. His name
was not in any way connected with the
legislative iobbers. Is it not about time
the Republicans should stop declaring
that Mr.. Morrissey's support of Tilden
disqusliiles the reform Governor for the
