Rex In New York.

NEW YORK, May 15.-Rex landed at
the Custom House pier amid cheers oil
the multitude. The carriage, drawn
by six white horses, was in waiting Tor
his Majesty and his commissioners, the
Grand Turk and Khedive OF Egypt in
front of the custom house wharf. The
king and his companions entered their
carriage and the procession started on
their way up to the Battery place The
van was led by mounted policemen
followed by the band who, in turn,
were followed by the marshals on
horseback; then came the king. The
industrial chariots fell into the line
from the side streets and from White
Hall street. Nearly all the trades
were represen ted, from the makers Of
clothing TO the makers Of AxIe-grease.

PACKARD AND KELLOGG and their
minions had prepared for war in Louis
lana, and Blaine was their adviser till
Hayes played trumps and sent the COM
mission toNew Orleans. This paralyzed
Packard. Public opinion North would
never have sustained Blaine and Pack
ard in course of violence while Hayes
was using this sweet agency of peace.
1t was grand triumph of skill in the
management of men and parties.

MORTON has still two years to serve
in the Senate. They will be deemed
an eternity by the South. But the
South need fear nothing. He will not
fight the President because his re-eleC-
tion to the Senate depends upon the
Presidents influence in Indiana, and
Morton is gentle and tender now as q
cooling dove. He may be very decent
man next fall and winter, and then will
not the world pronounce Hayes mar
vellous magician?

PEOPLE should not forget that the
President does not propose to betray,
but to reform thoroughly his party.
He does not propose to do right in
spite of, but finally with the consent
of his party. If we may believe that
Democracy needs no reformation, and
that it Is already constituted of angels
and cherubs, the country, under
Hayes's sway, must become an Eden
of repose and blessedness.

To CoNKLING's intellectual power
will be conceded the honor in after
years of having settled the doubtful
presidential election question. He
prevented civil war. He spared the
United States the fate of Mexico. 1t
may not be deemed the act Of patriot
or statesman just now; but time will
crown the genius and patriotism of
Conkling with laurel and bay.

The Tennessee Ledger says of the late
w. G. Brownlow that his private life
was an utter contradiction to the nature
he exhibited in public. Socially be
was genial and sympathetic, lin his
family almost idohzed, and among his
immediate neighbors, especially the
poor, he was held in the highest
esteem. The man was q strange COM
pound, and there are no more like him.
The style of journalism by which he
brought himself into notice and became
so terrible to his enemies happily
passed away before its author and is
no longer tolerated by an intelligent
public. Whatever his faults and the
warp of his nature he Was honest, fear
less and consistent in his way.

PRESIDENT HAYES has never pro-
posed to be anything else than Re
publican. He only proposes to show that
a Republican can be sane and that pos
sible justice to the South and local
self-government are facts compatible
with adhesion to Rcpublicanism as dis
tinguished from Ben Wade and Blame
and Butler Radicalism.

TEN miles of the Dallas and Pales-

to Dallas, yet Dallas is building two

smitten with a deadly paralysis.

LONDON, May. 15.-The Times, in its
leading article, says: Nothing has
been so remarkable during the debate
in Parliament as the declarations IN IA
vor of peace from the Conservatives as
we'll as the Liberals. The war party
finds itself a small minority. We do
not say that all danger is past, for
every Russian success may be expected
to provoke an unreasonable panic; but
for the present the country and gov
eminent arc in the way OF safety.
Both sides of the House will doubtless
claim some advantage, but the real
gain lies with the party which is on
the side of peace. If both parties
claim that honorable distinction, so
much the better for the country"
The Times special from Pera, dated
May 10, says there are rumOrs in Tul-
licha that in the event of that place
having to be abandoned orders have
been given that 1t should be destroyed
by the retreatlng garrisons. The consuls
Of Austria, Greece, and other States,
applied to the Governor, who acknowl-
edged that such We're his orders, but
that before things came to such ex-
tremities he would give the consuls
and all aliens timely warning 30 as TO
provide for the safety of their persons
and as much property as they could
remove. Such orders, the Governor
added, had been sent to all persons
commanding in Bulgaria. The consuls
communicated with their respective
ENJOYS here and circumstances were
made by them to the Porte. The gov
eminent gave reassuring answers as to
the safety of the persons of foreign
subjects, but evinced some disposition
to persevere in its destructive system
of defensive warfare.
The Manchester Guardians Vienna
dispatch says the Eighth and Twelfth
Russian corps will probably cross the
Danube near Turne Magurete, thereby
turning the Bulgarian quadnlateral.
The Tenth and Eleventh corps will IN
wade the Dabrutche. The first coils
ion between the Greek insurgents and
Turkish troops has occurred near Arm
gros. in Tnessaly. The press Of Athens
unanimously demand war.

The Cincinnati Enquirer says that
Gen. Sherman thinks that the Turco-
Russian war will eventually eliminate
in the greatest outbreak which has oc-
CURED for centuries past; that Austria
will soon be in it, and that before Con-
stantinople is taken England will prob
ably interfere, and thus become In
volved. He says that large army OF
Russians will cross the Danube some
where between Rustchuk and Varna,
and that both OF these cities, with Sill
estria, will be the scenes Of great
fighting. The Russians will push
on into MoldaVia and down to
Galatz, II they can get there.
At that place, he thinks, a ter
rife battle will be fought; but IN
his opinion the great field battle OF the
compaign will be fought at Sehumia,
the immense fortified camp OF the
Turks. He thinks the Russians are
moving with an army Of about three
hundred THOUSAND men IN that direc-
ton. He is OF opinion that II the Rus
slams are paying gold for what
they use in the Moldavian and Wal
lachian provinces, the farmers will con-
tiuue 70 60 on and raise their crops;
but if they take by force, and devas-
tate the country, then the farmers
business in that great producing country
will entirely suspend. he says the Turks
will make more Determined resistance
than they had ever made before, and that
their navy now in the Black Sea is far
superior 10 the Russian, and thai il
would not surprise him il the Turks
perpetrated bold flank movement and
captured Odessa In the Black Ses, the
chief depot Of supplies, ETC., for the
marching armies Of the Gar. He be-
lieyes that before the war ia over The
map of the continent and Of Eastern
Europe will be very much changed.
Gen, Sherman says all the officers OIL
the American army who got leave 70
go across the sea must do 30 ~ bal
pay, and that it is decided that hey
can not be on the stat Of any generAr
of either side, and that they can not be-
come engaged on either side IN any
manner.

THE Presidents purpose in postpon-
ing the convocatlon of Congress, he
says, is to give the country repose. 1t
is the application of the gag 10 the
noisy party-leaders and they do not
rest under 1t very quietly. But the
people are well pleased.

In his treatise on silver mines, Fuller
says: Wherever in any part of the
world silver mines have been worked,
they are worked now, unless from war,
invasion of Indians, etc. We know Of
no silver NINE in the world that has
given out. Mexican mines, worked by
the Aztecs before the conquest by Cor
tez, are still worked as profitably as
ever; the old mines in Spain, opened
long before Hannibal's time, are still
worked with enormous profits; the
South American mines have constantly
yielded their wealth for three hundred
years, and are as productive as ever;
mines in Hungary that were worked by
the Romans before the Saviour's time,
still yield abundance of ore; the silver
mines of Eriedberg. opened in the
eleventh century and worked contin-
ually ever since, yield their steady
increase. So in Norway, Sweden and
Russia, and indeed wherever silver
mines have been opened, we believe
without exception, they continue to be
worked at the present day, and gener-
ally are more productive than at any
time in their past history"
Lode paid their stockholders the enor-
nous sum of over $50, 900, 900 divi-
dends for the year 1878. The Familiar
silver mine produced $50, 900 per day
for five years, when it was stopped by
flood of water. After being opened
again it produced in ten years $780,
600, 900. 1t again laid idle until 1871,
when work was once more resumed,
and an annual yield realized OF $l3,-
400, 900. The best silver mines are
those of high attitudes. This is true
of the Mexican and South American
mines as well as those OF our own
country. The Potosi mines, which
have produced over one thousand mil
lions Of dollars, are about IL, 900 feet
above the level Of the sea. Those OF
Colorado, as the Terrible, Pelican,
Moose, and far-famed Caribou, are
about the same elevation.
The French mining engineer, Simo-
lis, says: "The silver mines of Color
ado and OF Northwestern Texas give
undoubted evidence of great wealth;
the ores are true silver ores, and the
mines are identical with those OF Mex
leo, Of which they are continuation"

The Wealth of silver Mines.

The yield of the Mexican mines since
the conquest up to 1860 amounted to
50, 039, 900, 900, and all from compar-
ativsly limited district. The registered
coinage of the mint of Mexico for the
last 135 years ending January 1, 1874,
amounts to 81, 942, 973, 107, and taking
into consideration the fact that up to
the commencement of the nineteenth
century Mexico paid tribute of one
fifth or twenty per cent. of her yield
of bullion to the King of Spain, the
result seems astounding. The follow
ing is the registered yield of few sill
yer mines ON the American coniinenL<
