TIE EASTERN WAR.
Desire for Peace.


LONDON, August ia dispatch from
Belgrade says that while war prepsra-
tions continue actively, and while even
the peace party consider any fate prefer
able to the disposition of Prince Milan,
and the annexation of any part OF Servis
to Turkey, or even period oi turkish
rule, Mt the same time tho depression OF
spirits, and desire for peace among the
moderate party and the Serylan people
generally, make an intervention OF the
powers to be anxiously looked for,
in the hope that it would
bring peace without any of the
above conditions which it Is feared the
Turks desire to impose rather than nc.
cept anyone of those. The moderat Q
party will support the government to
continue the struggle until Servia con-
ouers or cannot fight any longer. They
say the disposition of Prince Milan would
occasion a dynastic civil war which
would retsrd the progress of the country
twenty years. AS for the Turkish
rule here, the foremost OF the Servians
and even the opponents OF the war say
il is better that all the Servians perish
in the struggle than TO submit to that.
II is evident that Il the intervention OF
the powers does not bring peace that no
srran cement between the belligerents
and ,hemselvef is likely to be made.
Excitement I'm Crete.
The Times Athens dispatch says, that
in consequence of the Portes refusal to
grant the demands of the Creston Assem-
bly, prcs, excitement prevails, and the
rising has becn imminent. The Crea-
tons sought the advice Of Greece, and the
latter urged them 10 appeal
to the great powers, and await the result,
which they will probably do.
intervention Imminent.
The Pail Mall Gazette publishes a
dispatch from Berlin which says that
mediation By the Powers on the basis
of the re establishment Of the ante betl,fu'
status is considered imminent. 1t is re-
ported that the Car is anxious for a
speedy termination OF the war and has
personally besought the Emperors OF
Austria aud Germany TO offer their good
offices to the belligerents for the purpose
Of securing peace. News received from
Constantinople contrsdicts the reports
that seperste negotiations have been
entered into with Montenegro.
LONDON. August l6.-A special from

The Letter OF Acceptance OF the
Greenbackers' Candidate.

NEW IoRK, August 16.-Samuel F..
Cary in his letter accepting the nomlna.
tion of the Independent Greenback party,
for Vice President, says that no man can
mistake my position. declare,
First-That am in favor of restoring
the silver dollar to its old position as II
unit of value.
Second-That all National bank notes
should be withdrawn from circulation.
Third--That paper money should con-
sist exclusively of notes issued by the
government, with such legislation as
would cause them to be fully equal in
value to the specie dollar, under ali cir
cumstances and throughout all time.
Fourth That the interconvertible
bonds of the government, bearing an
equitable rate OF interest, should be is
sued, so that the money circulation may
be determined, not by an arbitrary law
of Congress, nor by n board of national
bankers, but by the laws ot trade and
commerce, or, in other words, by the de-
mands of business.
1.-THE gold basis of currency is sham
and cheat The true basis Is the ma
tional credit, represented By interest
bearing bonds stripped of all disgulses
The point at issue is whether the
national banks shall furnish all
the currency, or whether it shall
be supplied by the government.
Both of the old parties are distinctly
committed 10 the policy of an untlmeiy
issue of nationa. bank notes and the
withdrawal and cancellation of al the
governments currency. The widest
initiation of the national bank notes is
provided for in the resumption act, which
both parties are in favor OF, differing
only as to the time when the work shall be
completed. l shall avail myself Of an
early opportunity TO print an address
TO the people of the United States show
ing the causes which have brought busl-
ness men TO the verge of bankruptcy and
working classes to starvation; the causes
which, if left to operate, must result in
financial embarrassment and ruin to in
divduals, to corporations, to municiPali-
ties, to states and the nation, Showing
also that tho policy of the Independent
party Is the only one that can bring sal
vation. Even if We do not attain com
plete success, we shall rally force OF
earnest, true men in each OF the states,

election and prevents its accomplishing

The perplexing Hamburg matter has
some additional light thrown upon it,

THE perplexing Hamburg matter has
some additional light thrown upon 1t,
perhaps, by speech Of Judge MAcKAY
at HAYES ard WHEELER ratification
meeting at Rock Hill, South Carolina.
Though Republican he combated the
denunciatlon of General BUTLER, by
preceding speaker, as the author or pro-
moter of 'that grea. crime" as the judge
calls it. He says he has considered all
the evidence that has appeared on the
subject, has convereed with Republicans
both wlre g and black who were in or
near Hamburg at the time of the massa-
ere, and that their conclusions against
BUTLER are not supported by testimony
which would not be instantly consumed
to ashes under the rays of judicial test"
The Judge then states, in less judicial,
perhaps, but more matter-of-fact Ian
guage, that General Buffers house
was burned last year by negroes; that his
being engaged in fight with body of
them at that time was as a
constable's posse to effect the ar
rest Of the incendiaries under the
authority of negro trial justice; that
on his being himself arrested for that
act, he and his friends went at once
peaceably to Judge MAckAIs court and
were acquitted; that he collected force
of law-abiding white Democrats to de-
fend him from mob of lynchers in the
Jail in which the destroyers of his own
house we're confined, and the judge asks if
the man who acted thus under severe
provocation could have taken part in the
Hamburg butchery, unprovoked as he
was, either by injury or insult.
