The Danube Commission, composed OF
deIe5ates from the six Great Powers, will
hold o meeting at GaIatz on the 9TH Of
May. An attempt Is to be made by this
Commission t. secure o solemn engage
m-ut from both Russians and Turks that
they wilt religjousIy respect the neutral
navigation On the river, as well as all
works ia progress Tor the improvement Of
the naviratl0a OF the Lower Danube.
The sooner This is accom- iSaed the better,
as, after the heat Of the oa:.ie commences,
L vii, be very diGi ,ult to induce either
combataut to enter into any such agree
ment.
Heavy rains have occurred a'ong the
Danube, and the river is very high,
From Wjdlia downward the banks ara
fit on one OF both sides OF the stream,
and. as these dls are %aIluvial in formation,
thew will be very difficult to cross With
heavy trains.
The banks Of the Danube seem TO ba
in a state Of alarm impossible to describe,
and entire villages are deserted. In those
districts war will appear under It's most
horrible aspect and will assume quite q
peculiar character.
Poodle were considerably surprised
here t3 learn that in the last sitting Of the
Turkish Parliament several Christina
DEPUTIES protested against the explanation
Russia gives Of her conduct to protect the
Christians Of the East.
Hobart P4sha assured Mr.. S4nderson,
the English Consul at GaIatz, that his
feet would not interfere with tho neutral
navigation on the Danube.
No attempt has yet been mada by the
Turkish Forces to cross the Danube. The
riveg is so high that forthcoming would Do

The Austrian papers speak io q modsr.
ate, but firm, tone respecting the Eastern
crisis. No ostensiblo military prepare
lions AVE been made, although al occu-
patton Of Bosnia is possible should the
Russians enter Bulgaria.
Torpedoes are placed on exposed points
of The Baltic shore. Though tho autho-
rites represent Odessa as perfectly safe
from bonbardnen', ia consequence Of tbs
torpedoes laid and the batteries erected.
the Government oEhceS and property are
being removed.
Replying particularly to the question,
whether Italy intended to make any mill
tary preparations, the Ministers replied
that the necessity Of anything Of the kind
was altogether foreign t. their anticipa.
tions; but should the interests of the
country call for such preparations. Par
lionant should first be consulted. Sipnor
Dspretis concluded by saying that Italy
dep.ored tho calamity of war. but felt
secure in her own loyalty. in her King,
aud IN the valour of her Army.
In the Italian Chamber Of Deputies the
Minister tor Foreign Affairs, replying to
questions raised in debate, declared that
the hanis of til, Government were free in
respect to the Eastern dlihc ulty, that they
had entered into no binding engagements
with auy Power. and that their sole astsn-
tlon would be given to the preservation of
peacs and the interests Of the country.

garded as marking the beginning Of the
end Of disorder, and We may we'll be proud

opinion that the bearing and conduct Of
the Twenty Third Regiment led largely to
the result that has been reached" The
area of the strikes has not been extended,
but on the contrary materially reduced
since yesterday, and the strikers them
selves have in most instances been aroused
o the necessity of repressing the zeal OF
their riotous sympathizers The danger Of
any disturbance in New York seems to
have passed away, Boston is tranquil,
San Francisco is under the safe guardian

This money will probsbly he raised by the
issue Of county bonds. If such bonds can
be sold at par, bearing 6 per. cent interest,
it will take a yearly tax Of 100000 to
keep up the interest, which will just about
double the present taxation for oil county

When this cruel strike is over there is
one thing that the, railroad managers must
not omit to do-to reward and distinguish
the men who have stuck faithfully to their
work in spite of the pressure
brought to bear upon them by the strikers
or the Assaults of the mob, or the even
stronger influence Of timid wives and chilo
dren. To be sure the men are only doing
their duty, and doing it, doubtless, without
expectation of special recognition or recon-
pense, but at such a time the performance :
Of duty is span act oof heroism. A rour d
sum in money, say double pay for the
time Of the strike, should be awarded in
every case, and with this we'll. earned gra-
tuity should be given some Testimonial
that will be even more highly priced, as a

Sherman on Silver rs Legal tender.

"Secretary Sherman states the ac-
tion in the Ohio and Illinois Lesisla-
lures, making subsidiary coin legal
tender, would have but little effect.
Under the Constitution, States are en-
powered to make gold and silver, and
nothing else, legal tender, but Con-
gress has the same power. with addi-
tional authority to define the relative
values of gold and silver. The Con-
stitution does not permit them to do
80. The effect of these enactments
will probably be to induce the people
of those States in making contracts for
the payment of money in Ohio and
Illinois, to specify gold or United
States notes instead Of silver.
Gin regard to Sherrnan's views
about silver as legal tender, another
prominent Treasury officer, who is
very decided in his opposition to the
silver movement, says that he is very
much afraid that its advocates will
press it at the extra session of Congress
and they will succeed in getting some
measure through in direct antagonism
TO the policy laid down by the Treas
ury Department. Sherman believes
only gold should be legal TENDER,
The foregoing paragraphs ARE ex.
tracts from Washington special dis.
patch to the Pittsburgh Post. They
are definite rs indicating the policy OF
this fraudulent administration toward
restoring the silver dollar as legal
tender. Every effort the Treasury
Department can make will be put
forth against silver as money to pay
the bondholders with, and in favor o.
compelling the people to pay them and
other creditors in the dearest possible
mOney-gOld. Hayes was counted in
to the Presidency to rnle in favor o.
the money lords, even if every debtor
in the country is ruined thereby. This
has been the policy acted upon by Tho
Republican party since 1868, and it il
to be continued by that party no mat
ter what an obscure organ here ani
there may cay upon the subject to tht
contrary. Il Youngstown Vindicator

Fri@htful Calamity,

On Friday morning fearful calam-
ity occurred at Rockford, Illinois. The
new Court House of Winnebage
County, which was not yet under roof
crumbled to mass of ruins while the
workmen wer engaged in putting on
ceded the roof just as the keystone
was bsing placed in the dome Of the
main pavilion, the brick work between
the iron and stone gave way. and the
entire dome and interior walls of the
structure came tumbling down with a
terrible crash that was heard nearly a
mile away. Twenty-Five workmen
were carried down in the ruins, ten or
twelve of whom were killed and four
teen seriously wounded. The scene is
said to have been one of indescrible
horror. Men lay terribly mutilated
beneath those rocks, shrieking for as
sistance that was only rendered at the
risk of the bystanders' lives. One un-
fortunate man, named William Gloss
was extricated, but one of his legs was
left beneath ponderous stone. He
soon expired in great agony as he lay
upon the green sward in front of the
Courthouse. A negro jumped from
a window sixty feet from the ground,
and though badly injured, will proba-
bly, recover. Within ten minutes after
the disaster no less than four bodies
were removed by the almost superhu-
man efforts of the immense crowd
that quickly gathered. The city sur
geons were promptly on hand, render
ing great aid to the wounded, who
were carried on stretchers to the
nearest hotels. A Swede named An
drew Bildahl had his head split open,
but the wound was closed aud the vic
tim taken home and may live.
The anguish of the living was heart
rending. Workmen's wives and
mothers were soon on the spot. The
air was filed with sobs, wailing and
moaning, and on-lookers were sickened
by the sights OH every hand. fri-

Washington Letter.
WAsHINGToN, ID. G. May Ii, 1877.


WASHINGTON, ID. G. May IL, 1877.
Judge Spoflord, Conservative Senator
recently elected from Louisiana, is be-
ing urged by n good many here for the
vacant position on the bench of the
Supreme Court and his name has been
presented TO Mr. Hayes, but not, it is
thought, nj his own instigation. His
friends are exceedingly anxious. thai
he should have the appointment. If
the appointment should be rendered
Judge Spotlord, aud be accepted by him
another conservative, perhaps Demo
cratic Senator would be Immediately
appointed by Gov. Nichols. to serve
in Judge Spo!iord's place. 1t is desir
eel in legal circles, that tile new Justice,
be he whom he may, should be well
versed in the Latin code of Louisiana,
as the want of knowledge of the Lou
isiana code of laws has been serious
embarrassment to the Supreme Court
for long time. lHfr l...l.a. If. atasa
THE OHIO REPUBLICAN, CONVENTION.
Through a letter recently received
from prominent professional gentle
man well versed in the politics of the
State, we. learn that the Republican
Convention will decline to pass resolu-
tions indorsing the "President' for
reason that the Convention don't care
to shoulder the responsibility of such a
course, and then solicit the suffrages of
the Republican voters of the State,
preferring to run the campaign with
out encumbering the party with Ma

We can hardly agree with Mr..
O'Connor's reformations of the Con-
stitution as expressed in New York a
few days ago, and do not anticipate
for them very serious consideration on
the part OF the public, particularly
when he suggests the substitution of
Legislative bodies composed of sin
gle house instead of Senate and low
er House, and the abolishment of the
Executive a distinct branch of the
Government. These suggestions OF
Mr.. O'Conor, are contrary to all tradi-
tions of the English race, from whom
we inherit most of our principles of
government, as we'll as
to our habits and experience.
His address is remarkable more for its
discussion of some of the weak points
of our system than for the remedies it
suggests.
SIR EDWARD THORNTON.
The departure of this distingui shed
gentleman who has so long and ably
filled the post of British Minister here,
is matter of general regret. Having
been a resident here for the past ten
years, he had earned the respect of the
American public by his intelligence
and fairness in dealing with all the is
sues which have arisen out of our re-
lations with England since the civil
war. His retirement will long be felt
