annot certainly be predicted that it

cannot certainly be predicted that it
will prove short session. The opposi-
ton to Mr.. Harlan's confirmation does
not appear so general as to defeat it,
though, doubtless, the feeling is enter
tanned by many that there are other men
whose records would have suggested
their selection in preference to Judge
Harlan. Locality, it is likely, had some
thing to do with the matter, however.
The report that Mr. Bristow would seek
to antagonize the appointment is siren
uously denied here. The choice for a
successor to Judge Emmons seems to lie
between Tennessee and Michigan; and
the fact that the former is so divided in
sentiment between the Baxters, started
the Wolverine competitor with some ad-
vantage.
The solid Republican vote relative to
the contestants for seats in the Senate,
has been very disagreeable and dis
couraging surprise to Democrats. Sen
ator David Davis vote to refer the cre-
dentials of Eustis to the Committee on
Privileges and Elections has also had a
very depressing effect; and Democrat
ic Sunday paper, in its last issue, dis
mally foreshadows a solid Republican
vote in favor of Kellogg's admission.
The disposition among Republicans to
forget family discussions in the presence
of the enemy, is quite as apparent in the
House.

iation put upon him by the refusal o.

there has not been sign of dividing in
to factions, which Democrats have beer
all the while predicting; and the vote
in the Senate leads to the hope that tn
cases of Messrs. Kellogg and Corbin viii
be decided on their merits without an
reference to the recognition of Nichol

Saturday Of week before last, Col. A.
B. Foster, q noted railroad man Of Can
ada, through whose energy the South
Eastern road was built, was in Newport,
and while there was arrested on a debt
which he contracted there some years
ago. Not having the requisite amount
Of money to pay the bill, he was inform
ed by the sheriff that he must proceed
with him at once to lrasburgh Jail. Mr..
Foster demonstrated, but the money not
forthcoming, was taken by carriage to
Irasburgh. Here he remained a short
time in the sherif's custody, but no bail
being presented, was thrust into the jail
and occupied the quarters of felons and
murderers. This not only aroused his
ire, but was extremely notifying to the
Canadian railway king" Within a
few hours, bail was procured and he was
set at liberty. Proceeding to No. Troy,
he set himself about the work of getting
even with Emmons Raymond, President
of the Passumpsic road, whom he be-
lieved had caused his arrest, or, at least,
had been cOgnizant of it, and had not
protfered any assistance in the hour of
his humiliation. Procuring help, he pro-
ceeded to tear up the rails of the road
for quite distance, just across the line
in Canada, set large post in the dump
on the line, and waited the development
of events. He proceeded then to take
possession of the railroad property west
of the break. On Monday, the Psssump-
sic folks found themselves beaten and
baked, so far as the South Eastern was
concerned, and were compelled at once
to cancel all trains on that road. We
understand they have run no trains
even as far as North Troy, since the
break.
The statements of the parties are 81
contradictory, that it is difficult to ge
at the real truth of the matter; but i
seems that there has been a misunder
standing for some time. and some i'll
feeling between the managing parties
The South Eastern party claim tina
the lease of their road to the Passumpsi
had expired, and that they either want
ed the road surrendered to them. or t
receive the installment of rent WhicI
they claimed to be due. The Passump
sic interest claims that they had fulflle
the contract on their part, and had NO
in any way abused Mr. Foster or hi
road. The truth will appear, sooner Q
later, and the public will decide who an
to blame in the matter; but for the pre-
ent. those living along the line of tn
new road are compelled to get alon
without the advantage of the rail, an
many interests will suffer.
The South Eastern interest is recei,
ing some sympathy and aid from ii

line from the break to Montreal, and by
the Central to Boston, New York and all
other points. The trouble seems to be
a misfortune to Newport, Troy and vi
cinity, and to the Passumpsic road. How
long it will continue, no one can now
foretell.

The interview between Sitting Bull
and the United States Commissioners
took place on Wednesday at Fort Walsh,
but with no satisfactory result in any
respect. The Herald" succeeded in
getting the first dispatches through.
These represented Sitting Bull as in a
most .uncompromising mood and disin-
clined to accept any propositions from
the Commissioners. 1t was through the
exercise of much judicious and fearless
diplomacy, indeed, that Major Walsh, of
the Canadian mounted police, sue
ceeded in bringing Sitting Bull to an
interview. He had to give all sorts Of
guarantees that no treachery would be
permitted on the part of the Commits
sioners. The Sioux chief at last con-
sented to come, as he said, ''only to
oblige the Queen" General Terry, in
pursuance of his instructions, offered
the hostile Sioux amnesty and safe con.
duct to reservations, provided that
horses and arms should be given up IL
exchange for cattle and such supple;
as are necessary for an outfit in stock
raising. These proposals were rejected
cOntemptuously by the Sioux chiefs, ant
the Commissioners have started on thell
return home. The Canadian anthoritiel
will soon begin to realize the trouble

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

Monday OF last week brought a ma
terial change of scene to the war in Asia
Minor, big battle having been fought
on that day near Kars, and this time
the Russians gained complete and de-
cisive victory. The Russians, by a
fierce and prolonged assault, succeeded
in carrying the Turkish center, thus
cutting the army of Moukhtar in two.
The center and left wing under Moukh-
tar himself retreated upon Kars, and
succeeded in gaining the cover of its
Notifications after fearful rout, during
which he lost great number of killed
prisoners and four guns. Three divisions,
constituting the Turkish right, had in
the meantime been attacked and driven
from their fortified camp with great
loss. Finally, the remnant of this por.
ton of Moukhtar's army was surrounded
and surrendered with thirty-two guns
and a great quantity of material.
Among the captured are seven pashas
1t is estimated that the Russians capt.
ured thirty-two battalions of Turks,
four brigades of artillery, one hundred
officers and two thousand horses. Among
the killed are son of the Circassiar
chieftain, Schamyl, and the Turkish
general of cavalry, Moussa Pasha. The
Russians estimate the total Turkish
loss at about sixteen thousand men
with great stores of munitions and pro-
visions. Thus, with one blow, all the
advantages gained by the Turks during
the summer have disappeared, and, un
less the weather and the extreme diff

The defeat of Moukhtar Pasha il

While the Russian campaign in Armeni;
seemed total failure, the English
people were content; they beheld will
complacency the loss of Russian prestige
in the East; they felicitated themselves
upon having their fighting done S,
cheaply by proxy, and rested securely
on the powers of Moukhtar Pasha. Tha
general has, indeed, all summer, &C
complished wonders, repelling at ever,

he has been overpowered at last. Proba

and he yielded at last to overwhelmin,
