LORD DERBY, in reply to an address
OF the Christian League, said, SO far as
human foresight could discern, a gen.
raj war was a most unlikely result o.
the present conflict. He had refused
to adhere to the Berlin memorandum,
because he felt sure that the Porte
would not accept It, nor even the In.
surgents. France and Italy, for inan-
cial and other reasons, do not
desire war; Germany has no direct
interest in the question; England
will not make war; and Austria.
though peculiarly placed, will not break
peace for reasons of s~elf-interest. A
powerful party in Russia sympathizes
with Sclavonians, and desires the cree.
ton OF a S~clavonic Empire under Rus.
sian guidance and influence, but that
party Is not in power. The Gear is a
lover Of peace, and Russia has other
reasons - her finances and extent of
asian compensation not wishing
war. England's ehdeavor is to keen
the conflict within its present limits.
and impress that view upon others.
Lord Derby said he had no doubt of
~England's' success, and continued:
we desire is to see fair play. If
Turkey Is decayed we can not help II,
we have guaranteed Turkey against
murder, but not against suicide or sud.

about twenty miles from Petaluma there

INDIAN INSPECTOR vANDERvERE has
made. an official report of q council
with the Indians of the Red Cloud
and Spotted Tail Agencies, held June
so, at which he made them certain pro-
posals In consideration of which they
should consent to ~relinquish the Black
Hills country. These proposals were
agreed TO, and the chiefs all promised
TO keep their people at home, and to
remain about the agencies. They de.
clare that very few Sioux are absent,
and that it is chiefly Cheyennes
who have committed depredations and
who have gone North to join the hos
tiles. Bear-Stand-Up an Indian of the
Spotted Tail Agency, had been for over
two weeks in Sitting Bulls camp, where
he went on a peaceful errand. He re-
ports that the hostile camp comprised
about 1900 lodges. Sitting Bull told
him that he did not intend to modest
any one south of the Black Hills, but
would fight the whites in that country

EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
According to the programme of the Cam
gaign Committee of this parish, one Of the
largest and most enthusiastic mass meetings
was held at this place to-day. C. Goode
presided with Colonel Griffin a. secretary.
There has not been 20 large gathering
of the Republicans in this section OF Pointe
Coupee since the campaign of 1872. Tho
Democrats had organised . club at this
place with few colored men, and cir
culsted the report that the Republicans
would NOT dare hold . meeting in that Sec
ton.
However, Senator Breaux and Judge
Yoist, both being very popular with the
white people of the place, invited the Dem
ocrsts to come ont and take . part in joint
discussion. but they refused. Nevertheless
they listened to the speeches and treated
the speakers with marked respect.
The first speaker was Judge John Yoist,
Republican nominee for district judge. His
speech, it is said by competent Judges, was
the ablest effort of his lite. He spoke for
two hours, and proved conclusively that it
was tho planters' interest to vote the Re-
publican ticket in November. He showed,
by the proceedings Of tho last Congress,
that Louisiana and the States fronting on
tho Mississippi river were deprived Of
$4,0o0,O 900 which would have been appro-

pristed to build the Mississippi levees had
not ono Democratic vote defeated the bill
in the Senate, and that tho Democratic
party was not the party Of progress.
Tho next speaker was J. II. Perkins, Esq,
who spoke for ono hour, and his remaras
were we'll received. Hs completely dis
azzned the DemocEats present 81
Colonel Alfred Morgan, one Of the most
pronounced and leading Democrats Of this
parish, after Mr.. Perkins had finished his
remarks, was the first man to meet him,
shake hands aud congratulate him, and re-
marked, "Perkine, you may be Repub-
lican or . Democrat, but indorse every
word you have said. Let NJ take drink. +"
Mr.. Perkins was asked several questions
during his speech by the Democrats, which
he answered to their entire satisfaction. He
was followed by Judge Alcide Bounchsnd,
Hon. Milton Jones, Colonel G. H. Griffin,
and others.
The Democrats, knowing that the meet
ing would take place, telegraphed to New
Orleans, and two Democratic colered
speakers arrived on the Pareoud Friday,
by the name Of Davis and Mccoy, but they
refused to participate in the joint discus
sion, and called little handful of men in
the fourth ward, near New Texas. . few
miles from Williamsport, and proceeded to
deliver what they called . Democratic
speech. Davis and Mccoy were 90 much
discouraged at the handful that stayed to
hear them that they made few remarks,
retired, and gave up Pointe Coupee - not
having many black Democrats in it. The
meeting passed of quietly, and the best Of
feeling prevailed. g. II. g.
