The Movements of the American Fleet.
[London april 21) Correspondence Of the Car

The Movements of the American Fleet
London april 21) Correspondence Of the Car
diff Times.)
There is one item of news this morn
ing which Is full Of interest, viz, that
the American fleet is to enter the Oar
danelles. That would seem to imply
that the Turks are looking to the Amer
leans to supply them with police. Hith-
erto our cousins across the Atlantic
have always been very thick with the
Russians, and their sympathy with
them caused a very serious quar-
rel between the Courts Of Washington
and London during the Crimean war,
as Sir John Champion has only too good
reason to remember. Quite recently,
when an outbreak of war seemed likely
to occur, the Russian fleet went off to
America and took refuge in United
States waters. But now it is from New
York that the Turkish government is
getting its arms, and it is the American
squadron in the Mediterranean which
has been asked to move up to Constan-
tinople. I presume it is wanted there
in order to prevent any fanatical out
burst on the part Of the Mohammedans
against the Christians. as the Turkish
ships of-war will be wanted elsewhere.

new L DIX IlIHee.J
During the last three or four days
there has been decided improvement
in the demand for most of the best
American securities. People begin to
see the obvious fact that the United
States can not be injured by European
war, but that in all probability their
railroads will gain Immensely by it.
Consequently, buyers Of tho leading
bonds have once more appeared in the
market for the first time in many weeks
Some Of the notably the Daily
Telegraph, in its city article still do
their best to keep up the scare, but
the public generally have returned
to calmer feelings, and show q
disposition to pick up the stocks which
they were recently throwing away in
wild confusion. Although quotations
are very little, IL any, higher, yet the
leading dealers all agree in recognizing
a better feeling in the market. have
no doubt that the corner has been
turned, and in the absence Of more bad
news from your side prices will from
this time continue to advance. Should,
little surprises like that Of the Phila-
delphia and Reading collapse in store,
the burnt child will once more run as
hard as he can from the fire. There
was an advance yesterday in New York

North Carolina and the New Party Move.
ment.
TN. Y. Herald
A Raleigh correspondent gives a GU
rious account Of North Carolina politics.
Gov. Vance, he declares, has alienated
from himself the best Of his own party,
and is seeking support among the col
ored voters. Numbers of the white
Democratic voters are ready to leave
their party and enter a new organiza.
ton; the negroes will, in great numbers,
vote the Democratic ticket; and the
best part OF the population have well
coined President Hayes new policy
and are full of confidence Ia him, in
spite Of GOV. Vance's denunciations OF
the new Administration. In short,
North Carolina seems reader for a new
party movement than any other State
from which we have so far heard. The
State is not really Democratic, and our
correspondent asserts that in the cleo
ton next Of year, with proper and pru-
dent management,it should be carried
for the Hayes policy and the Republican
party by large majority. and that ma
jority largely Of white voters. But he
adds that the Federal office holders ap-
pointed by Gen. Grant are strongly dis
liked and ought to be replaced by better
men

OF these to two members of Congress
who called on him to-day the President
said he did not propose to put one man
out and another In Office, all things be-
ing equal, but he thought that there
were instances where officers ought to be
appointed from the community where
the offices were located, and he instanced
Philadelphia, where nearly all the

in others where eight years of service
have been deemed sufficient for one in

conversation with Alex. Mcclure, of

should manage the government not in

dictation in appointments and no longer
take notice Of the recommendation Of

Boston, May 1.-Gen. Butler has be-

hom-house orator, has experienced a
change of heart and confessed his re-

Legislature thinks it good opportunity

States can produce such marvellous

prohibition has long held unchallenged
sway, and the liquor is correspondingly
poor and high priced, but nowise scarce.
Neal Dow Is the ideal prohibitionist.
He is In favor Of making death the PEN

is abolished Down East. He very prop
