constituting a term. Under the
plea of necessity, which like charity
is made to cover q multitude Of sins,
these immunities and privileges have
been reduced, still more firmly rivet-
ing the chains of Territorial vassal-
age, and all this has been done by
Republican dictation and control.
While the Organic Act prohibits the
people through their chosen represen-
tatives from assuming any control of
Congressional appropriations made
for the Territory, recent Legislation
and rulings of the DEPARTING nts
compel the people to pay portion
of the expenses which they are de-
signed to defray, and empowers the
Governor to virtually control nearly
all expenditures made from the Ter
ritorial Treasury.
If there be any fairness, or justice,
in this, we fail to see it. Without
voice in the halls of Congress, with
out q choice in the selection of our
most important officers. deprived of
the means of paying the necessary
expenses of our Territorial govern
ment, shorn of the few vested rights
which a wise and liberal policy Sc
cured to those hardy citizens who
pioneered the way of national pro-
gress, all during the short reign of
the party in power, it appears the
hight of impudence for the Printer
elect to now endeavor to place the
odium upon the popular branch of
Congress. Is it not altogether pro-
bable that the blame in this instance
lies precisely where it has hereto
fore rested? Is not the we under
stand" by which the Courier endeav-
ors to clear the Secretary of the
Treasury, and place the odium upon
the House of Representatives. an ev-
idence that its structures are but a
part of the sophistry upon which it
continually relies to support its
"lost cause? If the head of the
Department did approve of the es-
Inmates of Secretary Strive, why
does not the Courier make the asser-
ton plainly and unequivocally !:
Simply because it knows nothing
more about the action of that off er
in the premises than If does about
the functions performed in the econ

enced has been III obtaining a desir-
able site for the structure. That OBJ

Burmister, who owns the corner lot,
is willing to invest literally in the

that a frst-class hotel will pay a
larger profit on the money invested
than any other project that has been

LONDON, May 18.-The Duke Decazes re-
ceived all the ambassadors yesterday. He
found among them a most unfavorable i'm
preston. Not one approved what had passed,
although some; perhaps protested little SYM
patty for the Republican system. On all
hands it was considered certain that the public
opinion of Europe would be painfully i'm
pressed. The Times correspondent says the
Broglie ministry was appointed in fulflment of
a threat by MacMahon, that if the Left passed
their order of the day, which they did adopt
yesterday, declaring that ''the chamber will
only place confidence in a cabinet free and
resolved to govern in accordance with Republi-
can principles, which alone can secure order
and prosperity" he would Immediately form a

WASHINGTON, May 1s.-Secretary Sherman
said to-day, In reply to question, that he did
not think 1t necessary to make any formal state
ment OF what he intended to do under the
resumption act. Whatever is done will be
openly done, and communicated first of all to
the public. Nothing will be done except in
strict conformity with the law, and no step will
be taken except after the most careful consid-

News and Other Items,

Mr.. Samuel Bowles. of the Springfield
Republican, is travelling in the West. A
reporter of the Cincinnati Enquirer made a
determined effort to talk with him on Monday,
but he refused to say anything except to
remark vigorously: II am only private
individual, here in the West on tour of rest
and recreation, and my opinions or views on
political subjects are of no consequence to the
public. Young man, it's no use talking. 1
won't do it. have a newspaper of my own,
and if have any views to disseminate I'll
give them to the public through its columns"
One incident, which almost everybody en-
joyed, occurred in the middle of the New York
Chamber of Commerce repast, when, as usual
on such occasions, Roman punch was served.
Wineglasses had been placed at President
Hayes and William E. Dodge's plates, but
neither had permitted them to be filled. The
President RECALLED himself on bottled of i'm
ported German seltzer. But when the Roman
punch was served, evidently installing it for
waterloo, both gentlemen eagerly partook of
it, seemingly unconscious of the presence of
Jamaica rum among its Ingredients.

Russians Delayed by Lack of Supplies.
LONDON, May 1S.-It is said that the Russians
movement OF concentration upon Kars from
Poti, Akholtzk, Alexandrapol and Irwan, has
come to standstill few marches from the
frontier. The delay is partly occasioned by the
necessity of establishing stores for victualling
the troops on Turkish soil, and partly by the
effected in the conditions of warfare by the
universal adoption of the needle gun.
Russians Falling Back From Kars.
The Telegraph's Pera despatch says the Rus
slams are falling back from Kars. The Kurds
and Circassians are advancing on the extreme
Moscovite left from Van to Erivan. A great
battle is expected at Toprokkala. Severe fight
ing is imminent at Batoum. A large force of
Circassian emigrants with great stores, arms
and ammunition, have been shipped from the
Bosphorus for point upon the Black Sea coast
The expedition will be protected and assisted
by two iron-clad frigates.
The Telegraph's Batoum correspondent saws
men and rifles are being rapidly embarked for
the Circassian coast from this garrison, which
is now strong enough not to fear the Russian
columns recently defeated with such terrible 10 So.

gram from Akal Halakl, May II, reports that
thu Russians have carried two outworks at
Arabian, with nine guns Fourteen were

able.

A special from Efzeroum, dated the 18th
instant. says the Russians attempted to bonn
bard Kars with four heavy siege guns but
miscalculated the range, their shots flying over
the town without damage. Kars replied
briskly.
The advance of $500 Circassiaus from Van is
momentarily expected by the enemy.
The MOhammedan Revolt in the
Caucasus.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 18-Much anxiety is
felt here relative tO the Mohammedan revolt In
the Caucasus. The insurrecton is spreading
and it is feared that communication with the
main army will belcut off from the Russians
force near Kars Fighting is going on bstwee
the Turks and Russians around Kars but with
no decisive result.
Turks Defeated i'm n skirtmish.
An official telegram from Tiflis states that
