We do not wonder that Mr.. KEY
| desires to inVeigle other Southern
Democrats into building up an Adj.
ministration party in theisOuth. liz
will feel rather lonesome as a Demo
crat until he succeeds In bringing
other men into an alliance with
President Hayes. But we are much
mistaken ii the tempting bait "a
liberal appropriation and thd
threatened abandonment or failura
of any particular policy, will induce
Southern members to fOregO their
allegiance to the Democratic party.
even to crafty President Hayes1
The power and influence of the
Southern States in the control of the
Government depend upon the mem-
bers Of Congress now representing
this section acting as q unit, and i'd
is not probable that there will beI
any detection from the DemOcmtic|
ranks, because there is no motiveI
except selfishness to prOmpt suchI
action. Federal patronage Is mott
altogether under the control of
President Hayes. Appropriations
for public enterprises will be quiteI
as much dependent upon the votes
of Southern Democrats as upon theI
favor of the Administration, andl
for once the Southern States viii bel
upon ah.equal footing in the distri-I

give his words without note or COM
ment. The speech was delivered
on decoration day at Chattanooga.
My Friends: | confess that my
own life has been an eventful one.
Things have fallen upon me as by
accident and when the event to
which you have so graciously allu-
ded tonight came upon me, my
first inclination, as / have said be-
fore, was to refuse and promptly de-
cline the proffered honor. But up
on mature reflection, / concluded
that if the President of the United
States desired with purpose of pac-
ificatiOn to extend to the people of
the South his hand through me, if
| refused to take it the hopes, the
interests, and the future of millions
to come after might be thwarted
and jeopardized. | put forward my
hand and grasped his. Applause.
| knew that if the object succeeded,
humanity would applaud, if it failed
only myself and the President would
suffer for the error. Applause.
Although / took the step with fear
and trembling, l have never regret
ted it. TCheers. / have felt, and
still feel, a responsibility to my
country to be discharged in the eX-
ercise of my present duties, which
no one can appreciate who has not
been placed in my position. That
!, who had been a Southern man by
birth and training, who had fought
and suffered upon the unfortunate
side Of this recent conflict, should
have been called to. take this Office
at the hands Of a Republican Presi-
dent was a mark of confidence which
it falls to the lot of few men to en-
joy. And while accepted it, at no
sacrifice of self respect, with no
pledges of party fealty and with no
abatement Of honest opinion upon
any subject, yet, Democratic as |
have always been, and Democratic
as | am to-day, my purpose will be
to strengthen, uphold, fortify and
place upon everlasting foundations
of fame the administration Of that
President. Applause. | thank
you for your cordial greeting, for
the marks of your continued conf
dence, and the hope which you in
spire in me of the future harmony
and prosperity of our land. Great
cheering.

THE following definition of words
that often occur innews from Europe
will be found most useful to the gen
eral reader:

State. His headquarters are at Con-
stantfnOple.
Porte-The government of the
Turkish Empire.

the Mohammedan law and head of
the "Wise Men''-jurists, theOlO-
gians and literati-WhO assemble
for consultation on his order. He is
mostly styled the chief of the faith
full. A writer says a fetwa or decree
from him would summon around
the standard of the prophet all the
fanatioal hOrdes Of Islam to fight TO
the death against the "infidels, in
the firm belief that death on the
battle field is a sure passport to Par
| adise."
Governors, vicer0ys, cons

Deys-About the same as Pashas.
Sheik-The name given the heads

med.
Mussulman-A follower of Mo-
| hammed.
Ottoman empire-nOther name

| its name from Osman, its founder.
Osmanlis-The Turks proper.
Not all followers of the prophet
are Turks. In European Turkey
there are, in round numbers, five
million Mohammedans, less than
half of whom are Osmanlis, the rest
being of Slavonic descent, but none
the less ardent worshipers of Islam.

A Fight ON the Danube--Turkish MOni.
tor Blown UD.

NEW YORK, May 27.-The Herald
correspondent at Ploejesti telegraph
the following interesting account o
an attack on the Turkish iron-claC
fleet in the Danube, and the destruc
ton of one of the large monitors by
torpedo-boats. The details of the
action are taken from the of
ficial report made by the gallant
leader of the attack, Lieutenant Den.
basoff, to the Russian headquarters
AT midnight on the 25th of Nav.
four Russian gunboats left Braila,
under the command of Lieutenant
Denbasoff, with the object of attack
ing and, if possible, destroying the
| fleet of Turkish irOn-clads, which
lay further down the river in the
| direction of Matchin. This expedi-
tion was organized with great Sc
crecy, and only the higher officers
at headquarters knew of its destina-
ton, though it has been expected
for some time that an effort would
be made to render the stay of the
Turkish mnn:tcr IN the Darrha rs
uncomfortable as possible. About
two hours steaming brought the
Russian gun-bOats to Matchin, where
the Turkish gun-bOats lay anchored
in the stream, and without delay
the signal to attack was given. B
Lieutenant Denbasoff made an adj
mirable disposition of his gun-boats,
and in the conduct of the action dis
played great courage and sound
Judgment. Taking the lead on the
advance, he ran his own gun-boat,
the CzarOvitch, in between the
Turkish iron-clads, without paying
any heed to the heavy fire which
the monitors opened on the APP
preaching gun-bOats. Selecting the
largest of the monitors, Lieutenant
Denbasoff ran his ship alongside and
succeeded in exploding a torpedo
under her side, causing a bad leak,
but not damaging her sufficiently to
disable her. This partial failure
was, however, soon remedied by the
gun-boat Xenia, which had closely
followed the "CZarOvitch," and, APP
preaching the Turkish monitor, sue
ceeded in exploding a second torpe-
do under her. The effect of this
second explosion was terrific, and
the monitor began rapidly to settle
in the water, and before ten minutes
had elapsed she sank. The remain
ing monitors opened a heavy but
ilI-directed fire on. the attacking
gunboats, which, having accom-
plished their j. object, withdrew
without suffering any damage,
although the Turkish artillerists
continued firing until the gunboats
had steamed out of range and dis
The brilliant action did
not occupy more than twenty min
utes from the giving the signal to
attack to the Withdrawal of the
Russian gunbOats. During the ac-1
ton the Turks directed a terrific fire
on the assailants, but the aim of the
was so bad that not a sin
gle Russian was struck. The. effect
of this torpedo attack is likely to
prove very demoralizing to the
Turkish fleet on the Danube. 1t
pretty well settles the question of
the value of the Turkish fleet in pre-
venting the passage of the Danube,
and will probably induce the Turk
ish irOn-clads to remove from the
too dangerous neighborhOod of the
Russian gunbOats. TOrpedoes are
going to prove their SUI
periority over armof plates and !
heavy guns ia this war. iio i

What the Democracy Has Done for
SambO,

1t Is impossible for even a preiu-
diced man to consider the real state
of affairs at the South without reach
ing the conclusion that when the
Democrats have come into power
they have changed this state of af-
fairs greatly for the better. Where
the Republicans have destroyed, the
Democrats hastened to build np;
where the Republicans have left
desolation, the Democrats have re-
stored pFOsperity; where the Re-
publicans had compelled the negro
to be an idle vagabOnd, the Demo-
Gratis have given him chance TO
become industrious and accumulate
property. In Georgia the negroes
have gained six million dollars
worth OF real estate under Demo-
cratic rule before they had nothing.
