Of trying 10 head the movement. Blaiue's
friends have been talking for day or two
about tho necessity that exists for men to
rise above party aud act like statesmen. Mr.
Blaine has the strongest possible reasons for
endeavoriug to propitiate the democrats. He
has been at work ever since he returned, to
head of the investigation 10 the house, aud
TO prevent Mulligan Fisher and Frank Hayes
from being called there as witnesses. OF
course the democrats in the house will not
push the investigation, this winter, if Blaine
shows disposition TO act fairly 10 the cleo
torial count. Enough has TRANSFERRED here to
warrant the statement that Mr. Blaine will
not antagouiEe the democrats, and therefore
that he will not sustain Morton and Chan.

the best authority for stating, for the iuaug-

the republicans who are opposed to him,
and who would like to see his railroad trans.
actions fully exposed, have possession of
Hayes, and that he has not much to hope
from Hayess administration. He thinks he
would have a better chance, four years hence,

nearly slandered away by the Geographic
bulletins, declared wal on the end inst,
(July) in q proclamation, in which he al
leges that he had avoided war for a whole
year, in Difference to the European Pow
ers that he had trusted in the efforts of
Europe to secure reforms; that the Der,

high policy, been withdrawn; that he had
no longer any hope, and that it was, there
fore, impossible 10 restrain the desire of his
people to assist their suffering brethren.
lie had been promised the assistance Of
"my chlvaIric brother of Seryia," and

cording to ancient tradition, three shots
were fired at Cettingo, to announce a
declaration of war, and on the following
day the Prince left accompanied by
1000 men.

The Sioux tribe of Indians would ap-
pear to be in considerable danger. That
tribe claims the Black-Hills country, the
mineral region which the United Statsz
Government has been trying to buy,i and
believing their rights threatened by the
settlers, assembled on Little Horn River in
considerable numbers. General q. A.
Custer, hearing of this, set out on 95th
June with the 9TH U. S. Cavalry to attack
the indians. He was led, with FIVE troops,
numbering $50 men, into an ambuscade
in a %ravine, and the whole body were
slaughtered to a man. Later accounts
give 261 killed The Indians then sur
rounded his second in command, Major
Reno, but he joined his reserves and es-
capped. The incident has created a pro.
found sensation in the Union, and will,
doubtless, be held to Justify the complete
expulsion of the Sioux from the Black
Hills territory. The news will not be
unWeIc).ne in many quarters, where this
mineral region is believed TO be very rich,
and where most determined efforts to re-
move the Indians have already been made.
The Times, anxious to prove that Mr..
Disraeli's sneers at newspaper iniofma-
ton are inaccurate, publishes the text OF
the famous Berlin Note, to which the
British Government refused to adhere.
1t is, if carefully read, a very serious do.
cumsnt. It announces to Turkey that the
"Christian Powers feel themselves 0blig.
cd to prevent o recurrence Of the events
at Salonic1, which threaten to reproduce
themselves at Smyrna and Constantinople,
by a general understanding concerning
the despatch of ships-of-war to the men-
aced points, and by tho issue of combined
instructions to their Naval commandments.
1t afirms that guarantees must be taken
for the thorough execution Of the reforms
arranged between the Powers and the
Porto, and with this view insists, " with
all the energy which ought 10. Belong to
the united voice OF the Great Powers"
on an armistico Of two months. During
this time, the Turkish Government would
maintain the refugees seeking their homes,
aud tho delegates Of the Powers would
watch over the execution of the reforms.
Should the armistice produce no result,
the Powers would decide on other and
more effective steps, in the interest Of the
general peace, This Note, it accepted
would have obliged Europe to undertake
The internal government Of the disturb
ed Turkish provinces, besides comforting on
the Powers vague rights of occupation,
whenever o Turkish port was threatened
with a religious riot. 1t was, therefore,
very prudentIy rejected by Lord Derby, as
involving consequences which it would be
quite impossible to foresee. But 10 the in
terests Of the Christians, while rejecting
the Note, he should have supported the pro-
posal, always before the Porte, to raise the
disturbed districts into the position OF a
vassal State, under o Christian Hospodar.

The fall in silver threatens to become
still more severe. The Government bills
on India were sold this week at is. G4d.
the rupee, and exchange has fallen to Is.
sgd, while the metal still tends decidedly
downwards. A fall of that amount, if pro.
longed, would cost the Government OF
India "a, 0OO, 900 a year in exchange alone,
and would for the time derange oil Indian
trade, and we see no sound reason why it
should not be prolonged. Nothing can
raise the price Of silver except q new de.
mand for it, and OF such demand there is
no evidence anywhere. A great increase in
Indian exports would enchance the price,
but the fall tends to reduce export, by rem
dering all speculation so extremely uncor-
tain. N otrade can be prosperous while the
currency in which its calculations are
made may alter in value four per cent. with
in o week, and fifteen per cent. within a
twelve-month. Nor, we are bound to add,
can we see any conclusive evidence that
twenty-five per cent. below par is the
limit of the fall, Silver at sod. the ounce
will still pay the Nevada miners, and that
would mean that The rupee was worth lust
o shilling. At this rate, the Indian silver
bonds will be nearly unsaleable, and every
one dependent on remittances from Asia
will be half-ruined.

Mr.. K. Jenkins made a great effort on
Monday Gully 81 to induce the Govern
ment to explain its Turkish policy, and
managed to commence an irregular debate.
Mr.. Disraeli declared that the papers ex-
planning the action Of tho Government
would be laid upon the table as speedily
as possible, the principal cause Of delay
being, as he affirmed subsequently,, the
necessity of consulting foreign Powers, who
might otherwise be annoyed by the appear
anCe OF certain papers. Mr.. Disraeli took
the occasion to ask the House to trust the
papers, and not the anonymous letters Of
own correspondents -" sprinkled over
Europe. His first reply called up Mr..
Bright, who urged him to explain himself
further, minated a dread Of drifting into
war as we had done in 1864, and asserted
that no considerable party would support
the Government in backing up Turkish
rule, even by moral means He reiterated
his belief that the Crimean war was unjust
in its beginning, DISASTROUS in its course,
and ignominious in its conclusion" Mr..
Fawcett followed, with the remark that
the House OF Commons ought to be con-
suited as well as foreign Powers, while
Lord Harrington urged that the House
was most anxious to know what British
policy had been. The entire discussion
left an impression that the House is becom-
ing tired Of tho reticence OF the Govern
ment.

The Military Committee of tho French
Senate has paid a high complement to NJ.

ter at Tours and Bordeaux. NJ. de Frey
cinet has been attacked for FIVE years as
the author of all the defeats of the French
after Sedan, and has never been able to
obtain q hearing for his ideas Of reorgani-
sation. Last week, however, the Com
mittee on Army Administration, having
to elect a Reporter on the Army Bill,
elected NJ. de Freycinet, and in spite Of
the bitter opposition Of General de Cissey,
persistedin the nomination. Eight of the

ness is due to the Metropolitan Board of
Works and the Councils of the great cities,
and much of the money is profitably in
vested, but still there is abundant evidence
Of a readiness to spend, aud much need that
Parliament should look into the matter. It
may be urged that the Municipalities should
be allowed to borrow as much as they like,
and become insolvent if they choose, but
very heavy local taxation might seriously
injure a district long before the point Of
insolvency had been reached. London

A suspicion long entertained by the
Italian Government that the brigands in
Sicily were aided by men of much higher
rank has recently been confirmed. An in
former betrayed the celebrated brigand
Saieya, and on June "a he was seized sit.
ting in a farmhouse, about three miles from
Girgonti, with five companions, before a
table covered with fine wines and cigars.
Three Of tho b%rigands turned out to be
" the two Cavalier Traiaiti and the Baron
clio Cclauro," men mixing in the best
society OF the island, and it is supposed,
paid by the brigands for giving them in
formation. The existence Of even one
such confederate immensely increases the
difficulties Of the police, as the ~briganda
receive early information of any intended
capture. Il is believed that the NeapoIi.
tan Camorra, and the Society which has so
long torrorisod Ravenna, have always
numbered some men OF position and cult
walton in their ranks, a bad sign for the
State, as it sloTs that the power Of social
opioion has become imperative.
