notoriously without capital, and
were only in business some three
years, yet they claim to have a blan-
ket mortgage ON all Mr.. Aliens es-
tate for something little less than a
million dollars. Allen rcsists the le-
gality Of this claim, and in this re-
spcct is working to make an equitable
division Of his property among his

A new point Of danger, in view Of
the peculiar settlement of the Louis
lana and South Carolina cases, is most
likely the supremacy Of the Demo-
cratic party in the Senate. The pres
ent complexion Of that body is, Re-
publicans 80, Democrats 81, Inde-
pents 2. The election and admission
of two Democratic Senators from
Louisiana, and one from South Car
olina, will give the Democrats and
Independents majority. The Inde-
pendents, however, may be counted
ON to join in no. scheme against the
country, SO that, except in case Of va
cancies in the Republican ranks by
death or otherwise, the danger is not
immediate. That the change will
soon come, however, and the Senate
pass from the power Of the Republic
ans, seems hardly to admit of doubt.
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida and
Mississippi are each democratic, and
each have oncs Republican Senator
whose term expires in little over q
year. So also with New York and
Indiana, though. there is hope Of the
two latter.s There seems to be much
ground for fear, however, that the
Republican supremacy in the Senate,
which has continued unquestioned
for sixteen years, is about to be lost.

Car Alexander, has at last issued
his declaration of war. We think
there Il room for big war to grow
out Of this beginning. No wars in the
history Of the world have been so
bloody and 20 flerccly contested %
religious wars. The human family
have never been made 80 bitter to-
ward each other upon any other sub
ject as they have been ON their reli-
gious differences. This contest is one
between the Christian and the Mo-
hommedan. The Gear represents the
Greek Church. This branch Of the
Christian Church comprises all
those Christians following the Gre
clan or reco-Sclavonic rite, who
receive the first seven general coun-
ellis, but reject the authority Of the
Roman Pontiff. There are three
branches of this church, viz: the
branch within the Ottoman EN-
pire, and which is subject direct
to the Patriarch at Constantine
pie; the branch in Greece, and the
other, the Russo Greek Church, with
in the Cars dominions. Practically
the Gar is the only power able to
protect this branch Of the Christian
Church. Beyond doubt, the Moslems
do most cruelty and unjustly treat the
Christians in Turkey, and for many
years the sufferers in that empire have
longed for and awaited their Russian
deliverers. This deliverance would
have come long ago, had mot the jeal-
ousy Of the rest Of Europe feared the
growing power Of Russia. This
jealousy has protracted the negotia-
tions which have been go long going
On to avoid the war. It is not at all
that il the Gar shall
push his conquests to Constantinoplc
itself, the other powers will step in to
choke him off from acquiring any
territorial acquisitions should he at
tempt 1t. Beyond question the Rus
sian Bear il able to, and will over
power the Turks, but it is just as cer-
tain that the. latter will fight in
defense of their national religion and
their homes with great fury. With
us 1t will tend very greatly to a revi-
val of our material prosperity.

Important to Corporations.
Clinton Herald.

Before Judge Hayes, in the District
Court in Muscatine, case of much
Importance to municipal corporations
was decided on Thursday afternoon.
It appears that three parties Of that
city, Messrs. Neyenhaus, Frees and
Weggen, were indicted by the grand
jury at the present term for nuisance
consisting in banking up their lots
on the cemetery road. The case was
tried before jury, and the State in
tr0duced ex-Mayor Ament, and
proved by him that the embankment
complained of was ON the land Of the
defendant, J. B. Neyenhaus, made In
the act of filling his lot, which was
in the corporation limits of the city
of Muscatine, which obstructed the
water from flowing off thestreet over
his lot, that being Its natural course
and it being surface water and not q
livingstream or water course where
upon Judge Hayes inquired II the
only obstruction complained of were
caused by the water so kept on said
street. Mr.. Ellis answered that it was
and that it was the only basis Of the
action. The court then ON its own
motion instructed the jury to return
q verdict of not guilty ON the ground
that the owner of city property had .
right to fill or build thereon, and that
the city, in such cases, should provide
an outlet for the water, by culverts,
cutters or sewers upon the streets, or
through private property condemned
for that purpose, and that the doc
trine Of the dominant and servient
estate, as applied to surface water,
does not apply in municipal corpora
tions in favor Of the municipality as
between the owners Of property and
city governments. To all Of which
the district attorney, Mr.. Ellis, then
excepted, and thereupon the jury re-
turned verdict of "not guilty."
The case is to be carried up to the
Supreme Court, as there are . number
Of other cases pending the final adju.
dication Of the one in Muscatine.

THEIR LAST c,AII.

Morris Chester and James I. Vance.
Of Louisiana, presented to the Presi-
dent memorial from the cOlored cit
liens of that state in regard to it's
political situation, and asking that
Governor Packard be sustained. The
bearers of the address said to the
President that this address would be
the last of its kind he would be likely
to receive from representative color
ed men of Louisiana. They recognize
the present condition of affairs as un-
Ialterablc and accepted the situation.
Though the policy suggested some
fears, they were hopeful of a happy
issue. They hoped also that should
any change be made in the federal
Offices of Louisiana gentlemen of en-
inence and character would be select
ed who had the respect Of the whites
and confidence Of the blacks. The
President in reply said he had NO
doubt the policy adopted would bring
ample protection to the colorcd peo-
pie and happier condition Of affairs
He had no idea Of deserting the col
orcd people.

SENATOR spoFFoRp.

Judge III. Nj. Spoftord, who ap-
peared for Tilden before the Louisi-
ana Returning Board, has been
nominated by the compromise Louis
lana Legislature for United States
Senator, and doubtless before this
reaches the readers Of the COURIER,
he will have been declared elected.
He will be on hand with his creden-
tials at the forthcoming extra session
Of Congress, and there the Senate
will be brought face to face with the
issue between Kellogg, who has the
credentials from the Board which de-
clared Hayes elected, and Spofford
with the credentials from the Legis-
lature, which has recently grown out
ofthe supposed political necessities OF
the situation.
Judge Spofford is an able and
respectable man of extreme Bourbon
proclivities. He was Mr.. Tilden'a
principal and most influential attor-
ney before the Returning Board, as
we are informed by Capt. McGrew,
Of this city, one Of the visiting COM
mittee to New Orleans.
A Chicago Tribune dispatch says OF
him that: can immense amount OF
disgust is in circulation tonight
among Liberal Democrats and Liber-
al Republicans at the nomination OF
Judge Spofford. Gov. D. b. Penn,
Liberal Democrat, had fifteen Demo-
cratic votes pledged to keep out OF
the caucus. With these fifteen votes
and the Republicans he expected to
be nominated. They went in to beat
Jonas, and now they have Spofford.'
This is the first fruit of compromise.
A man who has been devoting his
great talents to showing that Hayes
was not elected, is himself elected to
the Senate by virtue of a compromise
dictated by Hayes himself and the
men in Louisiana who hold their ten
ure by the same authority which de-
clared Hayes elected, are being kick.
ed out into the cold.
Thus endeth the first lesson.

ALEXANDER CLARK, the famous
Iowa colored orator who, with Gov
ernor Kirkwood, was one of the
Senatorial electors in 1872, has been
to Oskaloosa, and interviewed by the
Herald:
sI thank God that no man can
charge that the negroes have sold the
Republican party out and if the &C.
tion of that party, as now being car
ried out under the Stanley Matthews
bargain and sale drives them from
the party, to seek protection else
where, that there will be NO taint up
on the race to which I belong, but the
responsibility will be with the men
who took the Republican party away
from them, for they never have left
it. Aud If hereafter they are COM
pelled to make terms with the enemy,
it will only be because those repre-
senting Cor pretending to represent
the Republican party have Withdrawn
that party from them and left them to
fight alone, a battle that in their pres
ent state they feel unable to under
take. Let the responsibility be placed
where it belongs"
