UAIION OF PLEySA.
LONDON Oct. 7, 1877.
From Bulgaria there is no intelligence OF active
operations. The army of the Czarewtcb will natur-
ally await the arrival of the whole of It's rein
forcements before 1t will venture upon an
aggressive advance, either toward Rustchuk
or across the upper LON. The Ottoman Army
of Shumla can hardly make offensive
movement untl its new commander has
arrived at headquarters. AS yet, Suleiman
IS only reported to have reached hhumla.
If the weather continues fine, and the roads remain
passabe for transport, heavy fighting may be ex-
pected IN this direction within few days. The

BeeCher'S Defense Of the Jews.

Mr.. Beecher'S sermon at Plymouth
Church last Sunday was entirely up
on the Seligman-Hilton controversy,
and as a defense of the Hebrew
! population stands out as one Of the
most powerful efforts the great orator
ever delivered. Here is specimen:
"Of what must they be ashamed?
continued Mr.. Beecher. "Are they
keen in Bargaining? Have they ever
stolen $10,000,000 from city? Are
our courts bailing out Jews or COM
promising cases with them? Are
JeWeS in our jails begging for mercy?
Do they not pay their debts? Do
they live on what you throw away?
Is it true that they can make money
when you, in the same business and
at the same time, might become
bankrupt? Then shame on you. For
high, honorable dealings the Jews
give a larger number of trustworthy
people than our own race. They are
the last people who should be in
shifted, whether by retail or whole
sale. Applause. If you had sought
for race in all the nations which
should not be frOwned upon, it is the
Jews race. OF all places in hotel.

SATURDAY, JUNE 80, 1877.
President Hayes in Ncw England.

The greeting to President Hayes
in New England on the occasion of
his visit to Harvard, whittier he goes
to be present at the graduation of
his son in the law school there, is
alike hearty and creditable. In his
speech ofwelcome Governor Rice ex-
pressed that the honors accorded him
were due not only to his exalted sta
ton, but to the unqualified respect
entertained for his high personal
character, his purity of purpose and
an appreciative estimate of the value
of his eminent public services. The
procession appears to have been a
successful and most imposing one,
and throughout the entire line of
route it was a continued ovation, the
President being kept busy acknowl-
edging the hearty salutatiOns of the
spectators who thrOnged the streets
and houses.

Senator salisbury, of Delaware,
told a reporter Of the San Francisco
CUU that he could not say much
about politics; that he thinks Mr..
Hayes thus far has, to a certain ex-
tent, complied with he demands of
the Democratic party in removing
troops from the South, and sundry
other matters notably so in the re-
duction ofGOvernment expenses, but
that he has only given a foretaste of
what ought to be done. AS to what
effect the action of Mr.. Hayes will
have upon party politics, he was in
capable ofiudging at present.

molly Maguirs" Executed.

The law condemned to death ten
members Of the infamous organi2a-
ton in the Pennsylvania coal region
known as Molly Maguires, and
Thursday they were executed. In
the Jail at POttsville were confined
Jas. Carroll, Hugh Mcgeehan, James
Roarity, and Thos. Duffy, murderers
of Policeman Benjamin F. Yost, and
Thomas Munley, murderer of Thos.
Sanger in the Jail at Wilkesbarre,
Anthony Lanahan, murderer OF

John DOnahue, murderer of Morgan
Powell; Bloomsbury, Patrick Hester
Patriot McHugh, and Patrick Turley
murderers of Alexander Rae, who
have been saved, from execution till
the 9th of August by write of error.
The case Of John KehOe, confined in
the Pottsville Jail, convicted of the
murder Of f. S. Langdon, also comes
up under write of error before the

The execution Of the ten "Molley
Maguires" Thursday Of last week -
six at Pottsville and four at Mauch
Chunk was peaceful and orderly.
1t was a hard necessity to hang these
men, but their crimes were such they
could not be overlooked. They were
members of an association that was
a dark and bloody disgrace to civil
zation. They had committed as
sassination in its worst and direst
forms. They were accorded fair trails
and every opportunity of appeal on
questions of law and fact was given
them. Their taking off was the vim
dication of the law, and it ought to
mean the suppression of the Thugs
who too long ruled the mining re-
gions ofPennsylvania.

EX-Chief Justice Lochrane, of
Georgia, continues to be firm sup
porter of the Presidents policy. He
thinks the President is honestly and
earnestly trying to do the best he
can for the whole country, and be-
lieves he will strengthen his party
by removing all demand for change
of administration when his term eX-
pires. He believes the Democratic
party was stronger in the last cleo
ton than it will be in 1880, and eX-
poets to see the defeat of Mr.. Tilden
dWindle into mere personal griev-
ance, confined to his immediate fol-
lowers, or those who expect Office
from him. The Judge made this OBJ
servation TO a correspondent Of the
Syracuse tStd'ldurd, and in speaking
of the Manhattan dinner, said: 81
regretted the temper and tone of the
speeches delivered at the Hendricks
reception. The great events Of
American prosperity must be sup
ported upon principles of great pub

pass Of personal ambitions Of party
leaders defeated for the Offices to
which they aspired. While l sup

The UdrylaI,d Appoil,tn,ents.


The Baltimore Sun of Tuesday
says:
Collector Wilkins, of the port OF
Baltimore, yesterday determined to
"stick." He went to Washington
yesterday morning, and after he had
returned, said he would not resign
as requerted by President Hayes.
The collector was engaged preparing
his reply, which will be forwarded.
President Hayes, in asking for Mr..
Wilkins's resignation, writes COM
plimentary of his personal character
and ofthe excellent manner in which
the duties of the Office have been adj
ministered. The President, it is
learned, gives the reason for asking
the resignation that Mr. John l..
Thomas is entitled to the collector
ship now because President Grant
removed him four years ago.
Col. Wilkins, in his reply, it is
learned, will deny that there was any
understanding when appointed that
he should only fill the unexpired
term of Mr.. Booth. He says he was
appointed by President Grant for
four years, and has been in Office not
one year yet. The letter will be ac-
companied by documents giving
some inside views of Maryland re-
publican politics.
During the day a protest against
Mr.. Wilkins's removal was largely
signed by business men in Baltimore,
and determined effort will be made
to secure the withdrawal of the name
of Mr.. Thomas. Col. Wilkins, it is
said, has been urged to resistance by
republicans in Washington and
throughout Maryland, as well as in
Baltimore, and during the day re-
ceived numerous kilograms on the
subject. The appointment of Mr..
Thomas, it is learned was to take eff
feet from the resignation of the pres
ent collector, or from the LIST Of July,
which, in the event of refusal to re-
sign, will necessitate the suspension
of Mr.. Wilkins, unless indeed, as an
ticipated, the President may be in
duced to change his mind otherwise
under the terms of civil Office act the
matter will be thrown into the Sen
ate"

A burgler broke into a Kansas City
house in which Mrs. Gay was alone,
and told her if she made any noise
or attempted to get out Of bed he
would kill her. She was frightened
and did not speak or stir while he
packed her silverware and jewerlry
for removal. Then by way of en-
phasizing a parting injunction not to
raise an alarm, he boxed her ears.
That made her so angry that she
forgot her fear. She jumped out of
bed, knocked the burglar down with
a chair, pulled his hair, scratched his
face, stamped on him and yelled at
the top of her voice. A police officer
heard the racket, and the badly in
jured man was arrested.
