FOreshadOwing His Doom.

Senator Mcmillan, OF Minnesota, has received
letter that sounds like a voice from the grave,
protesting against coneilatory policy towards
the South. On the 9Th of the present month,
d. A. Webber, Tax Collector OF East Feliciana
Parish, La, was shot and killed in the street
near his home. The verdict of the Coroner 8
jury assigned the guilt to persons unknown.
Senator Mcmillan receives from the same Mr..
Webber the following letter dated March 8,
three days before his death:
MY DEAR MIR. SENAToR:-I see by the Asso-
stated Press dispatches that President Giant
will not recognize Gov. Packard. 1t is ev. n as
serted that President-eect Hayes is committed
to such line of policy. If this should prove
true-it after our services to the nation we are
to be left in the hands of Nichols and his MUIR
aerers, you, MIR. Senator, who have had the op-
portunity to judge our cause, will understand
how soon the murderers will begin their work.
1t would be but few days work to wipe out of
existence every white Republican, and
with our downfall comes that of the
innocent negro, whose vote saved the
nation. appeal to you, Mr.. Senator,
nor as Republican, but as a friend of
Justice,to do battle for those who are powerless
Our lives, our property, and the security of our
families depend upon you and those of your con
ferees in the Senate who understand our posi-
ton. Since my return from New Orleans, and
my attendance upon your COMMITTEES, L have
been at hOue, cooped up in the house, unable
to appear in the streets without danger If Il
were alone-without wife or children, or prop
erty-I could easily adapt myself to the present
condition OF affairs; but cannot abandon my
all, even If staying should cost me my life.
Hoping you will pardon the liberty am taking
in addressing you, remain very respectfully
yours. ID. A, WEDBER

GROSS injustice was done the gallant Off
GERS of the navy in the passage by the Demo-
cratic House of Representatives, under the
severe economic spasm of year ago, of a bill
reducing the pay of naval officers on shore
duty from waiting-order to furlough pay, or
about one-half of what they were justly en-
titled to. This action, while injurious to the
service and insulting to the brave men affected
by it, has been attended by no good results,
and having served its purpose as political
delusion, has been atoned for in part by the
last House in the passage of deficiency bill
providing for an adjustment of the difference
in pay between that received and that hon.

The New ELECTIoN.-The Washington COR
respondent of the Boston Advertiser says:-The
other day, when the South Carolina delegation
called on the President to ask the recognition
of Chamberlain, they suggested the idea of
new election, and the President asked them to
reduce their views on the subject to writing for
his consideration To-day, Senator Patterson
laid before the President paper embodying at
length the views of those who desire a new
election. Patterson's paper suggests that
Chamberlain be recognized as governor, and
that the legislature be allowed to meet, with
the understanding that they pass nothing more
than registration law and law for new
election, Chamberlain and Hampton each to
select two of the board of canvassers, and the
fifth to be selected by General Ruger. The
election is proposed then to be carried under
General Ruger's directions, who shall use the
military only SO as to guarantee tar election
on both sides. There shall be no public parades
of rifle clubs, and no political meetings what
ever. Senator Patterson agreed in behalf of
Chamberlain TO abide by the result of such an
election, and suggested that both Chamberlain
and Hampton be invited to come to Washing
ton to consider the plan, General Ruger in the
meantime being instructed to maintain the
Stdtu quo in Columbia. After the President
had received the document he asked will
the other side agree to thIs?' Patterson re-
Piled: IF you desire them to do so have no
doubt they will, or else their protestations of
desire for peaceful and fair settlement OF the
dispute will be proven to be insincere." The
President then said the matter would be care
fully considered in Cabinet meeting tomorrow,
and, in the meantime, he would ask some of
the South Carolina Democrats to submit their
views. the President seemed pleased with the
proposition, aud remarked that he wished the
way. Senator Patterson thinks that if the
Democrats refuse to accept this proposition.
Chamberlain will be recognized. Later in the
afternoon, General M. 9. Butler, the hero OF
the Hamburg massacre, had an interview with
pressed his personal opinion as against the
plan, but he SAID he would communicate with
reply.

The project for a railroad across the Great
African Desert, which has been much dis
cussed by French scientific authorities has
received new impulse at the hands of the
celebrated traveller, G. Rohlfs. The French
notion was to draw the commerce of the Sou
dan through Algeria. DR.. Rohlfs advocates
in Petermann's Mittheilungen a route be-
tween Tripoli on the Mediterranean and Kuka
on lake Chad. The line will cross 1900 miles
of desert, but DR.. Rohlf thinks that it will
find sufficient water supply. One thing is
tolerably certain about such railway; it will
not create an element in its prosperity such
as all American railways hope for, by building
up business from its way stations.

interior of the crozier, the authorities of the

should be taken to pieces. This having been

similar in almost every respect to the outer

The New HAMPSHIRE Yict0rY.

The result OF the New Hampshire election
is highly gratifying TO Republicans. AS the
first expression of popular sentiment since
the decision of the Presidential controversy
the verdict of the people of New Hampshire
was anxiously awaited by both political par
ties. There was curiosity to know what
manner of fight the Democrats would make
after their defeat, and what grounds they had
for the claim that the sympathies of the peo-
pie were with them. Being literally provided
with the sinews of war the fight they made
was good one, but the sympathy they
looked for had no existence. The people are
evidently entirely satisfied with the decision
of the Electoral Commission and heartily
pleased with the policy of the Republican
party. They are much more inclined to
laugh at the disappointed Democracy than to
pity them.
The New Hampshire Republicans have
more than held their own, they have made
large gains. The majority for governor is in.
creased, the membership in the Legislature is
much larger, and one Congressman certainly
has been gained, with the probability that
the entire Congressional delegation will be
Republican. The gain of congressman is in
view OF the small Democratic majority in the
National House, very substantial and very
gratifying, for it puts in jeopardy Democratic
control of that body. The Republicans Of
New Hampshire are to be congratulated upon
a "handsome days work"
GLADSTONE has published a pamphlet in
which he shows that the conduct of the Porte
towards the authors of the Bulgarian out
RACES is distinct encouragement to a repeti-
tion of the horrors. The guilt of the Turkish
Government is fully proved. United Europe
should, at least, impose such restraints on the
Turkish Administration as all Europe has
declared indispensable. The proposal to grant
Turkey year of grace simply means another
year of debasement and misery tor Turkish
subjects. Mr.. Gladstone concludes as follows
81 ask England to redeem the pledges given
by the Crimean war to the subjects of Tur-
key" The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Times draws attention to the telegram to
the Russian Telegraphic Agency, which states
there is one point of divergence between the
powers now, and that is the method in which
action will be sanctioned if the Porte does
not execute the reforms. Russia, who has
100000 men ready to pass the frontier at any
moment, and who can increase them to 775,-
900 in three weeks, can afford to be prudent
and concilatory, without incurring the lmpu-
tation of weakness, but she can counsel the
right of sanction unless she sees a really prac-
tical European sanction substituted for it.
