the Gar. In fact there can be little
doubt that Russia has settled every
step of the war in Europe with Ger
many, which is known to have clear
ly defined interests in the ultimate
settlement of the Eastern question,
and she would at once bind Russia
down to attempt anything which
can injure those interests. Among
the first points agreed upon would
be how near the Russian troops may
approach Constantinople, and what
is to be done with the territory occu-
pied in their progress southwark. 1t
is not to be supposed however that
while in Europe Germany would not
permit annexation to be effected at
her expense, she would object to an
nexation in Asia, which can only
damage England. AS regards any
advance of Russia in Asia, Germany
is and must remain altogether indif-
ferent.-BaIto. Sun.

CORRESPONDENCE.
Jamestown, Md, June 8, 1877.

ED. REPUBLICAN If the sorely
afflicted gentlemen writing under
the misnomer of independent Vo-
ter" could appreciate the supreme
folly of his self imposed work of try
ing to bring sensible people to his
own foolish way of thinking, he
would vast neither time nor words
further in what must be to him a
very painful task.
We beg leave to suggest that he
has undertaken a big contract and
we hope that when he gets through
convincing people of well settled
convictions that they are all a set of
misguided fools and politically de-
PRAYED, that he may turn his atten-
ton 10 some more cOngenial subject,
and fearing he may overlook the OPP
portunity of enlightening the world,
we respectfully suggest that he take
for a subject the following, "The in
nate intellectually Of the mule
kicked young man." or in more gen.
eral terms, "The intellectually of
the mule kicked"
There is something about this SUBJ
jet of magnetic interest, to judge
from the bent of his inclinations and
which will naturally and instruc-
lively call forth his best efforts. A
field for his gigantic intellect, giving
full scope to his book of quotations.
Should he forego the present oppor-
tunity of astonishing the world, en-
tightening the medical profession
and increasing the subscription list OF
the Herald, we shall accuse him OF
base ingratitude. But we shall not
lose heart altogether. Meanwhile

great $40 ndn,e,"

We were sorry to hear of the death
of j. Davis, colored. Mr.. Davis, for

In the last weeks issue of the RE-
PUBLICAN we noticed an account Of
the Miller's fishing. He sailed
forth as stark mad as was ever Don
Quixote, from reading books OF chiv-

from the effects of that beer, he met
with no success, and on returning
home he met his pleasant little wife
at the door, and such q volley of re-
proaches that fellow received on his
devoted head are better imagined
than described, for she had been pa

particularly woman nature, could
stand.

The European War,

Dispatches from Montenegro re-
port severe and protracted fighting
at close quarters in the vicinity of
the Duga Pass, during which both
sides lost several thousand in killed
and and wounded. The Turks claim
to have routed the Montenegrins,
and specials from Ostrak admit that
the Prince has withdrawn his head.
quarters from Nicsics back to that
point. London kilograms speak of
the almost entire absence of news of
interest either from Asia or from the
line of the Danube. The armies on
the latter are intently watching each
other, and cannonading is frequent,
but the Russians still keep their in
tentions profoundly secret. From
Asia it is reported that the Turks no
longer have the same feeling of de-
spondency that has marked most of
their late dispatches, and that "a
battle will be risked in the
Araxes Valley" Prince Gortscha-
koff's note, it now appears, has not
given as complete satisfaction to the
Cabinets of some of the Continental
Powers as was hoped. Some of the
wording in regard to Constantinople
and the Dardanelles is thought not
to be quite so clear and precise as to
exclude all ambiguous rendering and
set doubt at rest.

The Eastern War Results.

The London Telegraph maintains
that whatever may be the relation
which the military movements in
Europe are ultimately intended to
bear to movements elsewhere the
Russian army must get across the
Danube. A war which has origina-
ted in the wrongs of the Bulgarians
cannot end without something being
done to improve the condition of the
Bulgarians. The most intelligent
authorities believe that the war will
not end in Europe without one great
battle, except in the improbable
event of so complete Turkish de-
feat in Asia as to prompt the Sultan
to sue for peace without waiting to
see the result of the operations on
the Danube. Asia is the end that
Russia has In view, though it is not
necessarily the theatre on which she
means to attain her end. One point
alleged for the belief that any re-
wards which Russia intends to take
for herself will be in Asia rather
than in Europe is the extreme inn
probability that she has entered up
ON the war without full understan-
ding with Germany as to what she
may do and what she may not do.
The Telegraph has along held the
opinion that the failure of the Eng
lish government to prevent the war
from breaking out was due to their
persistent misconception of Russian
policy In respect of the war. Lord
Derby, who seems to have discovered
at last that the true policy Of Eng
land is peace, entirely mistook at first
the motives which impelled Russia
towards war, and consequently, the
means which would be effective in
averting war. 1t was obvious from
the Czar's Moscow speech that war
was certain unless Turkey could be
induced to concede real reforms in
the government of the Christian pro-
yinces. The attitude that Germany
would occupy in the event of Rus
sian victory must have been the first
problem to suggest itself the mind Of

The substantial unanimity Of the
Democrats in opposing all measures
for the purity of elections is display
ed anew by the proceedings few
days ago of the Holmes County,
Ohio, Democratic Convention, which
adopted a resolution in favor of the
immediate repeal Of the registration
law passed by the last Ohio Legisla-
ture. This law was framed so as to
prevent such outrageous frauds as
were proved a few months ago to
have occurred IN Cincinnati.

Mr.. Peter Cooper has addressed a
long letter to President Hayes, in
which he first says:
"Allow me to offer you my heart
felt thanks for the wise and indie
pendent course you have adopted in
the discharge of the responsible and
difficult duties that you have been
called upon to perform, The deep
interest you are manifesting in the
nations welfare has already sent a
thrill of hope and joy into the hearts
of suffering millions throughout the
country. Your noble course has thus
far inspired the people with the hope
and trust that you will, in the provi-
dence of God, be our country's Mo-
ses, to lead the people from a
threatened bondage that now hangs
over the liberties and the happiness
of the American people,"
He then repeats his old advice on
the financial question, urging the
replacement of the fractional curren-
cy instead of silver, and the use of no
money but the paper issued by the
Government.

The California Wheat Crop.

The California papers, which up to
a few weeks ago were very gloomy
over the wheat crop prospect in the
State, arenow INDUCING in their an
nual hurrah over the promise of a
good yield. The San Francisco Bulle-
tin of the 1st instant puts the graft
flying statement thus: 'In all the
important grain growing sections,
except the Upper San Joaquin and
Salinas valleys, the crops are up to
the average. In that portion of San
Joaquin valley within San Joaquin
county the yield is almost equal to
the crop Of last year. From San Jose
we learn that the wheat crop in the
Senta Clara valley is fully tvo-thirds
an average one. From all the coun-
ties in the valley of the Sacramento
and in Northern California the re-
ports tell us of yields up to or beyond
the average of former years."

BLOOMINGTON, June 9th, 1877.
MULE DRIVER.

Ed. REPUBLICAN The doleful
and plaintive wall of Felix reached
me in my quiet rural home and
aroused me from the lethargy into
which the few weeks of heat has
thrown me.
The Herald is such a seldom visi-
tor at home, that had it not been for
the kindness of friend calling my
attention to its brilliant cOmmunica-
ton, and of its timely warning of an
impending fate, its letter might have
gone unanswered, and "Felix,"
would no doubt have eXulted in his
easy victory. From my intimate
knowledge of and acquaintance with
the aforesaid, think it would have
been more true to his nature had his
fertile brain suggested cause for my
prolonged silence-something of this
sOrt-gone into bankruptcy to escape
payment Of wash bill, ''incarcerated
in durance vile" for smiling at
widow. But for some accountable
reason he suppressed this ugly part
of his nature, and tries to deceive
the readers Of the Herald, as he has
the citizens of Bloomington. To
judge from his letter, ore would
think that the assassin had sharpened
his knife on his razor strop, or load
ed his double barreled shot gun in
his private parlor, and was only
waiting for an opportunity to muir
der the man who wrote the article
that hit the mill men. For the bene-
tit of this unfortunate child of ma
ture, l will say that it is very seldom
| am absent from the village, and
most any person can inform him at
a moments notice of my where
abouts. If he is anxious to view my
physical frame and test the power of
my muscular system, personal in
terview may be had at his own con-
We leave the subject and try to
add something to interest all. Our
region has been visited with most
copious and delightful showers, and
our farmers have reason to rejoice in
the prospects of an abundant har-
vest.
The business outlook of our COM
munity is about the same-still dull.
The North Branch mills have secured
a contract, the extent of which we
have not learned.
7, E. Owens & Co., once prosper
Gus firm, have succumbed to the
dizziness of the times and have been
adjudged bankrupts. A meeting of
the creditors has been called for the
Doth of this month, at which time an
assignee will be appointed.
The North Branch railroad, as a
topic, has been worn threadbare and
laid on the table for future consldera-
ton. The people have come to the
sensible conclusion that it is only a
dodge of political aspirants, and,
therefore, merits but slight notice.
The second class orators, with their
second class speeches, failed to pro.
duce very lasting impression. The
extensive demonstration made a few
years ago in favor of that wonderful
galaxy of public men, is financially
remembered by some, and is not
likely to be repeated, until there is
some assurance that the many and
not the few are to be benefited.
Hoping that the interval between
this and my next communication
may not tax the patience of "Felix,"
remain,

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
DEATH OF JUDGE SLACK.

1t is with deep sorrow, which is
felt by the entire community, that
we annouce the death yesterday at
1:45 p. M, of our highly esteemed
fellowlow citizen, Col. Cornelius
Slack. There is no one who has resi-
ded for any length Of time in our
community who has not known him
and there is none who has formed
his acquaintance but has esteemed
him for his many noble qualities and
for his generous impulses. He loved
to be friendly with the world, and
never sought the enmity of any one.
His illness was short and severe and
his demise unexpected. Though he
had casually alluded to slight atfec-
ton of the heart, it was not consid-
cred dangerous until the disease took
a deeper hold on Friday last and
resulted yesterday in his death.

Along the banks of the Potomac,
in the neighborhood Of Oldtown is a
hill known as "Alum Hill," where
it is said Jumps of alum can be pick
ed out of the soft stone almost any,
where. Some time since party of
gentleman picked up some scoria,
which gave indications of silver, The
discovery brought to mind a story
which at one time caused great
deal of excitement in that neighbour
hood. The story goes that about 1882
number of Spaniards arrived at
Alum hill, with a negro woman for
cook, that they erected log cabin,
and at night went out with picks
and spades and towards morning re-
turned with barrow-loads of what
they termed stone aud dirt, and were
engaged during the day in burning
it. She was kept in ignorance as
much as possible. After working in
this manner several months they
left for Connecticut where they gave
her a bag ofnew silver dollars for her
services and left the State. She says
they had more bags OF silver than
they could carry without horses.
She gave the information in 1910 to
some acquaintance and also gave the
name of one the Cresaps living in the
neighborhOod. A stranger shortly
after appeared in the neigh borhood
of Alum springs and gave the infor-
nation to Mr.. Cresap, and long
search was made for the hidden sill
yer lode, but without success. 1t was
finally concluded that the party was
band of counterfeiters. who had
selected this secluded spot for carry
ing on their nefarious work. The
fact, however remained, that the
negro woman spent her silver in Con-
necticut and no question was ever
raised as to its genuineness. The
discovery of this scoria will doubtless
I lead to another search for the hidden
treasure,

Considering the quiet solitude of
the district in which we live, we
have many things to- say this week.
First, we must ask our friends to re-
joice with us. Since our last issue
we have been blessed with new

enough and head wise enough to aid
in writing for the REPUBLICAN, and
should his wondrouS intellectual
powers develop as fast as we imagine
the readers of the REPUBLICAN, NAV
anticipate rich harvest.
We object saying much in refer

in the rain storm on Sunday, third

ney was the longest.

The party camped at the "big dam"
and spent the night fishing foe GELS,
but met with little success.
We were sor. y tohear of the death,
of j. B. Davis, (colored,) who died
at his residence, aboat two miles east
of the Ryan'Sr Glades, church,, on
Monday evening, June 4th.. After
having done his days work he was
attacked with something like spasms,.
and expired in few moments. "Un.
