The NEW YORK ORANGEMEN.-Ther is
some difference of opinion among the
0rahgemen as to the approaching 18th of
July celebration, some OF them insisting on
the old time street procession, with banners
regalia, etc, Others urging that all that be
gwen up, and that the different lodges unite
In grand picnic at jones' Woods agreeably
to the precedent set last year. How they
Will finally settle II remains to be seen. The
former make the point that as long as there
is procession on St Patrick's day the 18th
OF July pageant ought not to be given up.
AS usual, the discussion has got out of the
lodge rooms into the newspapers, and be-
tween now and the day itself il promises to
more fmpo rtant 10 talk about. The interest

OF the fresh reinforcements to
Spain's army in Cuba, two thousand
men have already been landed, on
the shores Of the unfaithful island.
These two thousand men are the
"avante garde" OF a total reinforce
ment Of over fifteen thousand fresh
soldiers, which will be landed in
Cuba probably within the next thirty
days. For the cost of the enrolment
Spain has contracted a fresh debt of
ten millions of dollars to the same
parties the Banco Colonial of Mad
rid-of whom she borrowed fifteen
million dollars just year ago, and
on the same security, the hypotheca-
tionS of the customs of Cuba.
Cuba is gradually but surely being
devastated. Our trade with the
Island was, previous. to the revolu-
tion ss5Ahtaf sFas tss.e aztst
Britain. If the hopeless war, which
we allow Spain to continue waging
against cause which her ablest
soldiers have admitted to be an in
vincible one, lasts only a few years
longer, Cuba will be a second San
Domingo, worthless to herself and
to us. San Domingo, in her palmy
days, produced more than Cuba ever
did in her palmiest. ...

Mr.. Murat IIalstead confirms the
current impression that the Repub-
leans have the better chance of sue
cess in Ohio. He says the Democrats
are rent by internal discussions, and
the Republicans, though greatly in
want of a clear issue, are united, and
have every chance of carrying Ham
ttton county, which will decide the
election. He says, what has been
evident to outsiders from the start,
that the Democrats will sell out Mr..
Bishop for the Legislature, but, he
thinks, the sacrifice will be in vain.
He made these observations to a cor
respondent of the Chicago Tribune,
and concluded with this philosophic
prediction: "People must choose be-
tween evils at last, and the lesser evil
just now appears to be--as / usually
find it to be--the Republican party.
The result of the campaign will be a
Republican victory, no doubt. The
majority will not be an overwhelm-
ing one, but believe it will be larger
than any the party has received dur
ing several years"

LONDON, September 17.-After
nearly twelve months of anxious
suspense, during which the gravest
fears were entertained for the safety
of the gallant African explorer, the
welcome news has at length come
that Henry NJ. Stanley has arrived
on the west coast Of Africa, after a
terrible journey across the continent
along the line of the Lualaba which
he has discovered to be the Congo
river. Stanley's despatch is dated
from Emboma, Congo river, west
coast Of Africa, August 10th, and in
forms us that he arrived at that point
on August Sth from Zanzibar with
only ll5 souls, the entire party in
an awful condition after their long
and terrible journey through the
heart of the African continent. They
have fought thirty-two battles with
the savages. The settlement of the
Lualaba river questions as belonging
to the Congo and not the Nile, is
important.

Colonel Hood, the head of The
largest wholesale establishment in
Philadelphia, told a reporter of the
New York Times that more business
has been done by his establishment
up to the lst Of September than in
the Whole of the Centennial year,
when they did an excellent trade.
Domestic goods are lower in price
than they were year ago, but he
fines that people are learning to Sc
cure the value Of their money, and
are not purchasing goods because
hey are cheap, but getting Il dollars
Wrth for dollar, and feeling better
satisfied. "Why," said he, goods
OF inferior make which we could
dispose OF couple of years ago for
god prices we cannot sell now, be-
cause people will not touch them.
They demand a good article and are
wiling to pay reasonable prices" 1t
is his opinion that Providence has
dGne more to bring about better
times than all the legislation which
Congress could effect i'll twenty ses-
siOns, "This thing of returning to a
solid foundation cannot be accomp-
lished by any legerdemain," he said,
"but needs good crops, which we
have this year, and as a result, when
those crops move and are disposed
Of our success is certain" Coupled
with this is the extra demand placed
upon us by the complications in
Europe, which tend to make prices
higher; and unless the war over there
comes to sudden termination he
does not see but that this country
will be in far better condition a
year hence than it has been for a
long time back.

When from any of the numerous inci-

The Progress of the Turks in re-
gaining lost ground has of late been
decidedly encouraging to the Moslem
arms. The announcement is now
made that they have succeeded in
capturing Fort St. Nicholas, the Rus
sian stronghold in the Shipka Pass.
and it is rumOred that already Sulie-
man Pasha has effected junction
with Vehement Ali. This last report,
however, is doubtless premature.
At last authentic accounts fighting
was still going on IN the pass on Sun
day, the fort having been captured
at four O'Clock on that morning.
With the final loss Of this important
position the situation of the Russians
at Plevna will become critical, as it
will enable Sulieman Pasha to COM
bine directly with Mehemet Ali and
Osman Pasha, and thus still further
lesson the chances of Russian success.

The riots seem to have been a
"blessing in disguise" to Pittsburg.
There has been an old complaint
against the Pennsylvania railroad
company that its policy discrimi-
mated against Pittsburg, and the
apathy which possessed the citizens
at the time of the destruction of the
railroad property is largely ascribed
to this sentiment. In the adjust
ment of the losses there has occurred
a number of conferences, and a good
deal ofplan talk on the side of city
authorities and the peoples represen-
tatives on one side and Col. Scott
on the other. A demand for more
generous treatment of the city by the
railroad company was made, and n
promise that it shall be accorded has
been evoked. a.
