THosE who profess to know, say
that there is over three millions o.
dollars put up in the city of New
York alone, in the purchase of pools
on the Presidential election. and
that John Morrisscy is thocustodian
Of nearly one half this amount
Another noticeable feature of this
pool-selling is, that the holders Of
the money are not required to give
any security whatever, so that if
Mr.. Morrissey should conclude to
pocket the amoant he has, there is
no salvation for the better: as

AGAIN there is slight prospect
that the impending war between
Russia and Turkey may be averted
The conference of the Great Powers,
about TO meet at Constantiuople,
may possibly patch up acompromisc
between the two beligerents, but The
chances are the other way. The
poiut upon which this last effort at
a peaceable solution is likely to TAI,
is the question of the future of the
rebellious European Provinces Of
Turkey, Russia insisting that Tur-
key shall release her tyranical clutch
upon them, aud Turkey being appar.
eutly resolved to maintain her abso-
lutte occupation.

THE QUEEN $ VISIT.
The most extensive preparations have
been in progress during the past few
weeks, in anticipation of Il visit from
Royal Majesty, Queen Victoria. The
occasion was the unwilling of Prince
Alberts monument on the 18th OF
August. Her Majesty the Queen, ac-
companied 10y Princess Beatrice and
Prince Leopold, arrived in the city on
the day before. Along the whole line
of procession from Holyrood Palace to
Georges Square over a mile, was lined
with banners and bannerettes, and the
building were trimmed in Royal colors.
The crowd was immense. Every avail
able place was occupied. The windows,
balconies and house-tops were thronged
and temporary seats raised for the oc-
casion brought high prices. One pecu-
liar feature of the procession was the
quiet and orderly manner with which
it was conducted. The Queen, attended
by the Princess and Prince, in her car
riage, was simply escorted by Guard
of Honor. There was no band of mu-
sic OF noisy parade SO peculiar to such
demonstrations. The occasion was one
of deep interest throughout and passed
off in a manner very creditable to the
people of Edinburgh and highly pleas
ing to Her Majesty the Queen.

LONDON, Oct pa Calcutta dispatch to
the Times states that the prospect for crops
in Bombay becomes daily more gloomy.
The districts of Khandresa, Nassick, AL.
mudneugner, POonah, Shokpore, Klanda and
Durmar, containing population of nearly
six millions, are threatened with severe dis
tress. The local government estimates that
over 10000 persons must be relieved in
three districts alone. 1t is stated that the
Monzoon crops have entirely failed, and In
the absence of rain prevents the sowing OF
rubber and winter crops The collector OF
Poonah reports that not single blade OF
grass Is visible for miles. The tanks and
rivers are drying up and the cattle dying
from starvation. The government has no
relief works and is employing people in e1'
cavating tanks and making roads. Tho
alarming European kilograms of the last two
days have had the effect of further depressing
government securities which arc unusually
low for six months past Tea shares, how
ever, are strong owing to reliable accounts
from Assal and Locktar gardens. This is q
remarkably good year for tea, and the quan-
tity will greatly exceed any former years.
Union Printers Turned out OF tho
Times ONCE.
New YORK, Oct. 3L.-Two days ago the
proprietOrs of the Times notified their CON-
positors that they must cut loose from the
Printers Union or the Times Office. After
deliberation the printers resolved on the
former course; only about eight refused. Last
night an agent from the Printers Union visit
ed the Times office and peremptorily ordered
all Union men out. About eight obeyed, so
that out of IS, fewer than 20 left all told.
The Times apprehends no difficulty now or
hereafter. 1t is believed the Union has re-
ceived hard blow.

@ Capt. Smallwood addressed a
small audience of disconnected Repub-
licans in Columbia Hall last Friday
night. It is the generally expressed
opinion that if all the blockheads were
made of as small wood as this unique
specimen, Judson would have the
dead-wood on the election with scarce
" an effort. The Republicans them
selves feel that their burden was heavy
enought to bear without imposing such
green and sappy fagots upon their tired

SATURDAY MORNING, OCT. Is. 1876.
TIE OUTLOOK.

Never before in the history of our
Territory have the Administration party
manifested SO little interest in a general
election. The people, regardless of po-
htical bias, appear to have laid aside
for the time, all prejudice and partial
ity, and resolved to cast their political
influence where it will do the most good
for the Territory. Even the Federal
ofice-holders, who possess time, inclin-
alton and the =" sinews of war" to make
a thorough canvass when the people
are with them, appear to be disheart-
ened by the prospect of an overwhelm-
ing defeat.
This is as it should be. A Delegate
at Washington is little more than an
attorney for the people. He is devoid
of influence, except such as he can exert
through others who have the ear of the
"powers that be- It is, therefore, of
the utmost Importance that the agent
chosen possess pleasing address, af-
fable manners, q persevering DISPOSE
ton. close application, industry, and a
high sense of the duty he owes to his
constituents. With these, our appeals
will be heard, and our many wants will
receive the attention and aid they de-
serve; without them, we might as we'll
be separated by impenetrable barriers
from the mother country, for all the
good we will receive at her hands. In
Mr.. Judson we will have a representa-
tive possessing all the qualifications so
essential for success; one who can COM
mand respect for his sterling qualities
of head and heart; one who by his in
do,nitable zeal will overcome all obsta-
Giles, and make for himself and his con-
stituency a name at the National Cap
ital.
The indications are that better class
of men will be elected to the subor-
dinate offices than usual. The spirit
of reform appears to have taken full
possession of the people and to have
controlled their action in the primaries.
The Democratic nominees for Prose
cutting Attorney are men of command
ing ability and sterling worth. The
nominees for county officers, have been
selected with like care, and will carry
large vote irrespective of political an
tecedents or party choice.
It must be conceded that the outlook
is exceeding favorable. Depend upon
it, Washington Territory will be re-
deemed at the ensuing election and re-
cord its vote on the side of Truth, JUS
tice and Reform.

AN ADAMS AGAINST A BUTLER.

Who was most rapturously cheered
by the Massachusetts, Republicans at
their recent convention? Benjamin +.
Butler. Who was placed upon the
State Committee as al especial mark OF
honor by the party managers? Ben
jamin L. Butler. Who is the most
prominent Republican candidate in the
State of Massachusetts for Congress,
with a nomination already assured !?
Benjamin f. Butler. Who was cheered
to the echo at the Democratic Conven-
ton in Massachusetts, Charles Fran
els Adams. Whose name was placed
at the head of the ticket as symbol
of reform and an omen of victory?
Charles Francis Adams. Who stand
to-day the opponents and leaders of
Massachusetts, Democracy and Mas
sachusetts Republicanism? Charles
Francis Adams and Benjamin F. But
Ter; the one a statesman who has made
still more illustrious the illustrious name
he bears; who has distinguished HIM
self in public and in private life by the
most eminent ability and spotless in
tegrity and the noblest independence
of all political ties where they interfere
with his right of conscience; the other
a cowardly, unskillful General; bully
over Southern women; the boldest ard
most unblushing champion of the sal
airy grab; participant in countless
Congressional jobs; a man who prides
himself on his political vulgarity, and
struts about the floors of the House the
most shameless varlet there; man
stepped to the lips in all manner of pub
lie corruption. We welcome the COM
parison between this man and the spot
less leader Of the Massachusetts De-
mocracy; and on the issue between
Charles Francis Adams and Benjamin
F. Butler we challenge the country.
President Grant forced Mr.. Bristow
and Mr.. Wilson out of the Cabinet
and is now prepared to welcome back
to the House the best exampler of re.
cent Republicanism, Benjamin F. But
fer, from Observation-Disclosures State
once represented by Sumner, Wilson
and Andrew.
The Democratic party, on the Other
hand, nominated for the Presidency &
man whose national reputation was o.
recent growth, who had never held any
administrative office but that which he
now holds. They nominated him be-
cause he had won the enthusiasm of
the party, and the respect of the whole
nation, by series of brilliant reforms.
Since that time the nominations of the
Democratic party have been in strict
accord with the high purpose an
nounced at St. Louis. Adams in Mas
sachusetts, Seymour in New York, and
Hubbard in Connecticut are only syn
onyms for Tilden. By that sign we
conquer.

The REpUBL1l IAN PLAN-A Washing
ton special dispatch dated Oct. oath
says that SeAator West has arrived
from Louisiana in company with Sec
rotary Merrill and Secretary Chandler,
and has had th interview with Don
Cameron. The object Of the confer
ence was to secure an order for large
transfer of troops to Louisiana as has
been done in South Carolina. West
thinks the STATE CAN BE CARRIED FOR
HAYES IF SEVERAL THOUSAND SOLDIERS CAN
BE SENT TO THAT STATE TO WORK WITH THE
DEPUTY MARsHALs IN CONTROLLING THE
ELECTION. On Vests representations,
Chandler advised that a similar order
be issued as in the case of South Caro-
lima. AN EARLY REPORT OF oUTRA GEES IN
LOUISIANA IS EXPECTED SO AS TO FORM THE
BASES FOR APRoCI4ss NATION, AND THE TRANS
FER OF TROOPS. It is expected the
troops needed Will be taken from Sher-
idan' g department. -- A similar fernnality
will be observed h Mississippi as soon
as this Louisiana matter is disposed Of.
The administrator hopes by this use of
soldiers to carrys three States of the
South and to make good possible losses
in the North" What think you free
men, of this? The mask is now thrown
aside, and the propositions to control
elections by the bayonet, is discussed
with the freedom Of any legitimate OBJ
ject of the canvass. Indeed we have
fallen upon evil times! The evil lies at
the foundation of our national life, and
the danger is even greater than at any
former period of its existence.
