Meeting OF the American Colonization
SOcietyaIiberlan ImmigrAtiOn.

WASHINGTON. Nov. ia special meeting OF
the Executive Committee of the American Col
onization Society was held in this city to-day, at
which umbrage was taken at the report recently
procured from the State Department, in
which Liberia was spoken of in an un-
favorable light and declared unhealthy. and
characterized generally as country
immigration to which was neither profitable
nor safe. A resolution was adopted by the com
mittee, that instead of replying in detail to the
charges contained in the statement, they would
prefer to present the views of gentlemen whose
characters for Intelligence and whose opinions,
formed from personal observation in Liberia,
constitute them impartial Judges.
Attention was called to the expressed views of
Rev. Abraham Hanson, formerly Minister to
Liberia, Commodore W. Schufeldt and Bishop
Gilbert Haven, who lately returned from an
official examination of the Methodist Episcopal
Church missions in Western Africa. The first
named gentleman says he resided about three
years in Liberia, and during that time he ac-
quired knowledge of industrial and domestic
habits and comforts of the citizens. The con-
dition OF the people was encouraging. and on
every hand he saw proofs of industry.
Commodore Schufeldt,in his official statement
to the Navy Department, said he was convinced
thar immigration. with moderate capital, was
all that was necessary to place Liberia per-
manent footing and to insure increasing pros
nerity.
Bishop Haven compared the advancement
made by the American colonies during the first
fifty years of their existence and that Of Liberia
during the same number of years. and said that
with inferior advantages Liberia had progressed
as far as the colonies had.

The Money Question.

A writer in the New York B,sztsigs quotes as
follows from prominent Germappaper:
The periodically returning scarcity o,
money has been attributed to the coming and

The writer argues against this assumption.
but concludes with the following sentence:
The result Of the coming and banking re-
form is. the following: The uncovered paper

TRUE LOVES TIME OF DAY.
BY BAYARD' TATLOR.

When shall find you, sweetheart,
That shall be and must be mine?
seek, though the world divides us,
And send you the secret sign?
There's blood in the veins OF morning,
SO fresh it may well deceive,
When man goes forth as Adam,
And woman awaits him as Eve.
There's an elvish spell in twilight
When the bats of Fancy fly,
And sense is bound by a question,
And Fate by the quick reply.
And the moon is an old enehantress,
With her snares of glimmer and shade,
That have ever been false and fatal
To the dreams of man and maid.
But I'll meet you at MONDAY, sweetheart,
In the billowy fields of grain.
When the sun is hot for harvest.
And roses athirst for rain.
with the daylight's truth ON your forehead
And the daylights S love in your eye,
I'll kiss YOU without question:
And you'll kiss me without areply.

Republican Senatorial Caucus-NO Agree
ment Reached.
Especial to the Democrat,]

. WASHINGTON, Nov e.-Tha Republican Sem
ators held a caucus this evening to see what
could be done towards an agreement as to the
contested seats from Louisiana and South Car
olina. 1t lasted about three hours. and ended
without an agreement. The debate was much
less spirited than in the last caucus over ap-
pointments, but it showed that there is no
chance for Kellogg or Corbin.
The impression seems to be growing that all
the cases will be eventually remanded back to
the States by simple resolution that the seats
be declared vacant. At all events. such is the
tenor Of most of the talk inside of Republican
circles. BUELL..

DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE.
MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL IN THE
CARDOZA CASE.
Interesting Points Raised-PrObabIlitfes
of New Trial,

COLUMBIA, s. c., Nov. I7.-Yesterday Judge
Melton argued motion for a new trial in the
thirty pages, and embrace points of law which
have never arisen in this country before.
One of the points contended for Is that the
memorandum written in phonograph charac-
ters does not; to any one but the writer, consti.
Chinese would be admissible in evidence, on the
ground that disinterested persons could be
sworn as interpreters. and such memoranda
translated to the jury.
He also claims that owing to some technical
irreguarity in the preparation OF jury lists
two of the Jurors were Ineligible. An inter-
view with the sheriff revealed the fact that there
nons pased n the escepons exeite Great n
terest, and the impression is that new trial
will be granted; The cases @ against Jones and
posed of by nolIe prosequi. There are five
other indictments against Carpenter Cardoza
mined to prosecute them to the end. Senators
Johnson, of Sumpter county, and Clinton, of
Lancaster. members of the old ring, have yield
ed to the pressure and will resign their seats.

Especial to the Democrat. ]

topeelal 10 un0 DemOcrar.J
WASHINGTON, Nov. III have received about
a dozen telegrams from New Orleans in the last
forty-eight hours asking me if I told the truth
In my dispatch in Wednesdays DEMOCRAT, to
wit: That the entire Louisiana delegation had
Endorsed Lawrence for Collector. The exact
facts are that the whole delegation signed the
recommendation. the text of which was uneon-
ditional; but G .bson. in signing. made certain
marginal notes of reservation. The others
signed 1t without reserve. and added personal
effort to official recommendation.
am not at liberty to give the text of Gibson's
reservation, for such papers are held at the
White House to be privileged communications,
and nobody but Gibson himself has the right to
publish the conditions which he appended to
his recommendation of Lawrence.
I may say, however. that Gibsons objection
was similar to that which appears in my letter
written last Tuesday. and which ought to be in
Sundays DEMOCRAT. along with this dispatch.
In fact, I may say that Gen. Gibson will not dis
sent from any of the views expressed in that
letter. on that subject.
The balance of the delegation-Ellis, Elam
and Robertson-indorsed Lawrence without
condition, as likewise did Leonard and Dar-
rail-. I think Spotford vouched for the standing
and character of Lawrence. but declined to act
in his official capacity. in view of his own deli
cate situation.
Among the influential persons here from
Louisiana, in private capacity. Gen. B. b.
Simms was most conspicuous in advocating
Lawrence. About the only prominent Louis
ianian here, who earnestly combated Law
renee's appointment from first to last is Col.
w. H. Roberts, who strongly urged upon the
President In personal interview, the impolicy
of establishing Warmoth as the recognized Ad-
ministration leader In Louisiana He, how
ever said nothing against the personal char
acter of Lawrence. BUELL..

WAR NOTES.
FORTUNE AGAIN SMILES ON THE
TURKS.
Mukhtar Pasha Secures His s'Revenge"
and Drives the Russians from ErZe-
rgum.


and Drives the Russians from Erze-
reum.
LONDON, Nov 1.-THE fortune of war seems
to be once more turning in favor of the Turkish
army, at least in the operations in Asia Minor.
Erzeroum was as good as taken by the Russians
day or two ago, when Ismail Pasha arrived
with reinforcements and met the Russians as
they were about to enter the city and formed a
junction with, Muhktar Pasha,, and the united
forces gave the Russians battle and changed
their hard earned success into defeat, com
pelling them to retreat to Deviboyo.
:. This victory, of the Turks has given Mukhtar
Pasha respite in which to strengthen Erze-
roum, which had already been rendered formi-
dable by over 100 Krupp guns.
The position to which the Russians retreated
Deviboy. is on scres5 1000 feet higher than
the surrounding country, and presents formida-
BILE obst cles to an attacking force. The Krupp
guns mounted by the Turks when in possess
sion of it were taken by the Russians. and have
undoubtedly been added to since their retreat
thither from Erzeroum. 1t is not positive. how
ever, that it can be maintained long. as 1t has
nothing on which an army can be subsisted.
The Russians are still bombarding Kars.
