ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORT
TO THE DAILY 1NrELL1GENoER
The HeII diate Explosion.

New York, September 25.-It was
Mary Newton, daughter Of Gen. Newton,
and not quite three years Of age, who
fired the mine that blew Halletts Point
Reef to pieces yesterday. Last evening
when the tide was at about half ebb, the
steamer Providence, Of the Fall River
line, passed over the place Of the explo.
sion. She encountered no difficulty and
sailed about fifty feet nearer to Halletes
Point than any steamer had ever done
before. The soundings to ascertain the
full result Of the explosion are to be
made this morning at slack water, the
current being too strong to attempt 1t at
any other time.
At Halletts Point this morning the
only traces to be seen OF the great Golfer
dam were few fragments floating on
the water. Gen. Newton arrived at II
A. NJ, and, in company with Bernard F.
Boyle, overseer Of the late works, in
spected the scene with evident satisfac-
tion. In answer to q question Of re-
porter Of the Erening Post as to the sue
cess Of the blast, he declared emphatically
that it was a thorough explosion.

Earthquake Shock.

LOUISVILLE, KY, September 25.-At
midnight Sunday, houses were1 shaken
and glass ratified throughout the city.
No damage being occasioned, the people
here do not think the dynamite at He'll
Gate affected the city, but firmly believe
the shock was caused by an earthquake.
The earthquake here last night has
produced sensation through the city,
and is the subject Of much conversation
and speculation. In some cases crockery
was broken and pictures thrown from the
walls. Dispatches from the interior
state that shocks were felt at Mt. Carmel
and elsewhere.

Investigating a GubernntoriaI
Candidate. aH

LEAvENwoRTH, September 25.-The
Republican State Central Committee will
meet at Topeka tomorrow to consider
certain charges against Geo. 7. Anthony,
candidate for Governor Of Kansas. oa4
Of these charges Is that Anthony, while
one Of the loan commissioners Of the
school fund in Orleans county, N. Y,
appropriated to his own use q part Of
that fund, and that the Supreme Court OF
New York rendered q Judgment against
him and his bondsmen in the sum of So
800, and that this judgment is still un-
paid. The records Of the court in this
matter are here in due form, and will
be laid before the committee. Another
charge Is, that the records Of the District
Court Of the county of Leavenworth
show suit against Anthony for obtain
ing consignments Of goods on false rep
resentations and failing TO pay therefor;
that q Judgment was rendered against him
for $4,000, and that this judgment Is
still unpaid. There were also other
matters affecting the personal integrity
OF Anthony, which will be brought before
the committee.

"CoSyRDERkrH MONEY wASTRp.-Penons
having confederate money or bonds, II Of the
proper Issue and denomination, can hnd pur-
ch,ser at fair prices by lnqulrng at this Office"
The above appears as an advertisement
in the Alabama Iron Age, and some Of the
papers are using it as an argument to
show that the belief is held In the South
that II Tilden is elected confederate secu.
rites will at once obtain a market value.
1t is possible. however. that the adyer.
tisement in question was intended only
to supply the somewhat growing demand
by curiosity hunters for complete sets.of
all the issues of confederate money and
bonds. There is no doubt, though, that a
good many people at the South expect
great things in the way of allowance of
Southern claims, &C., in the event Of the
election Of Tilden and a Democratic
Congress.

The situation in south Carolina.

A Afortnight ago DR.. Redtield, The South
ern and Southwestern political cores
pondent Of the Cincinnati Commercial,
wrote to that paper from South Carolina
that the Democrats had fair prospect
Of carrying the State, and electing Hamp.
ton Governor. He now writes that the
nomination Of Chamberlain by the Re-
publicans changes the aspect Of affairs
somewhat, and that the chances are now
undoubtedly with the Republicans; al.
though the contest is by no means free
from doubt. He is told in the sharpS.
burg district, from which he writes, that
there are many white men Of the more
conservative stripe who will quietly
vote for Chamberlain on the day Of
the election, and say nothing about
ii. To be sure in any case the white
vote which Chamberlain will receive will
be very small, but 1t will be larger for
him than could possibly be polled for any
other Republican candidate. There is no
denying but that the bold, aggressive
policy OF the whites-a policy not un.
mixed with shotgun argument-had
much to do with forcing the blacks to
take Chamberlain, Notwithstanding the
Whipper.Moses opposition. Under other
circumstances he would have been thrown
overheard. But the struggle in South
Carolina to-day is struggle for the life
OF the Republican party in that State,
and the blacks were impelled to stand by
their strongest man.
DR.. Redfeld is inclined to believe,
however, that the Democrats will gain
one or two Congressman in South Caro-
lima. The representation is now solidly
Republican, and has been SO since recon.
struc!ion. The point with the Democrats,
however, is to get the Legislature. For
that they would sacrifice Congressman,
Governor, and even Tilden. They want
TO reform the internal affairs Of the State,
and they cannot take steps in that direc.
tion without possessing the Legislature.
Besides, there is United States Senator
to be elected this winter, and that is taken
into consideration.

FOREIGN NEWS.
TURKEY.

BELaRADE, September 25.-No news as
yet has been received here Of the con-
clusion Of the armistice. II is reported
that hostilities commenced this morning
at Delegrade. Ni b.
CoSsrANnSoPLE, September 25.-The
Porte has agreed 10 prolong the suspen-
sion Of hostilities for eight days, and ex.
presses hope that the Powers during that
time will communicate the conditions OF
peace which they propose.
'Ws THE TRUCE EXTENDED. w
CossrASrNorLE, September 25-The
necessary instructions in conformity with
the decision Of the Porte, extending the
truce, have been sent 70 the Turkish
commanders. The report that Austria
has NOT assented to the conditions OF the
peace is denied.
sERyrA's OPINION OF THE PEACE PROPOSE.
uoN.
LONDON, September 25.-Later, dis
patches from Constantinople announce
that the Embassador will communicate
to the Porte the formal and final condi-
tions Of peace settled by the European
Powers, the points Of which have been
previously reported. Russia has given
her assent in principal to the condi-
tions, .-7.
A telegram from Belgrade says that
public opinion in Seryia is greatly
excited over the conditions Of peace pro.
posed by the Powers. It stated that the
restoration OF status quo aati.6ellgm in
Seryia with only the introduction Of local
reforms ia the Christian provinces OF
Turkey would be fatal blow to those
countries. Without actual independence
Seryia would be morally dead. The
promised reforms are not likely to be
carried out. Peace secured on such con-
ditions would merely defer the inevitable
conflict between the Christians and Turks.
A dispatch from 81. Petersburg denies
all reparts of war.like precautions by
Russia and ascribes the rumors 10 the
excited state Of the population. The
number OF volunteers for Seryia how
ever, daily increases.
THE PEOPLE AMAZED. @
LONDON. September pa special 10
the 1fass from Belgrade says: The peo-
pie are amazed at the good understand
ing between Russia and England, which
they perceive will almost certainly end
the hostilities. Russia proposed only
one amendment to the English pro-
gramme, and England adopted It. 1
The Vienna correspondent Of the Times
telegraphs that the idea Of appointing q
commission to arrange the details Of
settlement in the disturbed provinces is
gaining favor. [.
