THE WEATHER.-Exccpt in the lake region
and the British provinces the pressure is low all
over the country, with rain areas extending along
the coast and the Mississippi and Missouri val
ieys. The lowest pressure is now north Of st.
Louis. The barometer is also low on the Pa
cifc coast. The temperature generally
higher yesterday than that of Saturday, but is
now variable in the Upper Mississippi Valley
and the western lake region. Local disturbances
are probable in these districts and southwest
ward from Louisville. In the lower lake region
the winds are brisk, but in other sections are very
moderate The Lower Mississippi is above tho
danger line Mt vicksburg The weather in New
York to-day will be partly clondy or clear and
,armer.

ing the colored vote. Judge Dibble thinks
the new republican party will gain favor as
the party of extreme Capitalization, nation
alizing everything. and he believes this tho
best policy. Colonel Burke, democrat, says
the democratic policy is hostile to every in
terest of the South, and that if the Presi-
dent does not try to crowd old democrats
into his party he will make real republican
party in Louisiana. Colonel Zacharie. also
a democrat, believes that the democrats OF
the South and the conservative republic
cans of the North will be President Hayes
supporters. 1t is plain from what these
gentlemen say that for the present at least
there is no new party movement in Louis
lana; but undoubtedly both parties feel
themselves disintegrating.

DR.. Nocht1gall, the African explorer.
praises SANKEY'S work in Africa. According
to our special despatch from Berlin the
Doctor believes that Stanley will reach the
west coast in August next, after solving the
problem of the Congo and its continents.
Another letter from Frank Pocock, Stanley'a
white companion, dated at Ujiji, gives some
additional information as to the progress Of
the Stanley expedition up to the date of the
last letters from the explorer. The dangers
of African travel are heightened by tho
treacherous hostility of the natives, who
have nm unpleasant habit of saluting tho
white mans camp with showers of arrows
and decided liking for splitting stragglers
with their long javelins However. in this
kind Of warfare as in the more civilized
combats the rife tells, and we are not sur
prised to learn that the valiant warriors Of
Uturu retired from the field after q four
days fight much reduced in number and
their ardor for the fray considerably cooled
down. The reference to the horrors OF
slavery in Pocock's letter shows the bar
barity with which the unhappy captives are
treated by their inhuman masters and fur
nishes IN additional reason why this dread.
full trade should be stopped with the strong
hand of civilization.

In our dispatches from London by cable
this morning we publish the first connected
account of the operations of the belligerents
on the Danube and in Asia Minor. 1t is
an interesting summary of the war news
to the latest dates and cannot fail to attract
the readers attention to the details of the
situation. While the Russians in Europe
exhibited considerable dash in taking up
their positions along the bend of the Danube
around Galatz their present inactivity
can only be accounted for by the unfavor-
able state of the weather and the rivers.
They have in any event seized points of
vantage in Galatz and 1brail which
they will doubtless hold with the ut
most tenacity. The Turks. on the other
hand, have been wholly inactive in Bull
garia, and. indeed, were it not for the
accounts of an attempted bombardment Of
REM and Ibrail we should assume that they
intended no counter-movements. Opera
tions in Asia Minor have been far moro
energetic. The Russian columns have
invested Kars, occupied Bajazid and have
menaced the seaport of Batoum. Beyond
the resistance made at the last named place
the Turks seem to have been pushed back
ward without striking blow toward Erze-
roum, which is the objective point of the
three principal Russian columns. We can
point to the fact that in our descriptive
articles on the movements in Asia we an
nounced that the Russian march was one of
concentration, and that the right and left
wings OF the army of invasion would be adj
vanced and envelop the Turkish position,
and also that tho Turks would certainly
make stand at the Soghaulu Mountains
west of Knrs. BY the latest dispatches this
view of the Russian plan is fully borne out

CAUGHT AT LAsr.-Our special despatch
from the Indian country brings the most
welcome news that has come from the prairies
for years. That most able and dangerous chief
Crazy Horse has come in to the res
ervations with his enormous band Of
twelve hundred warriors, under Eve chiefs
besides Crazy Horse himself. What ap.
prehension, labor and suffering is
saved the army and the borderes
by this surrender no Eastern man can
imagine what the saving in money il
to a country which spends somewhere in
the neighborhood Of o million dollars for
every Indian it kills on the field may
be estimated without much trouble. The
thanks of the nation for this glorious
achievement should be divided between
the soldier and the diplomatist,
the former being personated by Gen.
eral Crook, who has allowed Crazy
Horse no peace in the field, and the
latter by our much abused but faithful
friend Red Cloud, who went after Crazy
Horse with wise words and q trusty
guard. The moral effect upon other hostile
Indians of the surrender of Crazy Horse can
hardly be. overestimated, and altogetheH
the affair is cheering promise of the abate.
ment of our most costly national torment.

Cotton Man ufa ctures in tho south.
In the communication from Mr.. Edward
Atkinson which We print elsewhere to-day
he gives some information of value to South
ern capitalists concerning the prospects Of
cotton mills in the South. Several reasons
aro given why such enterprises are likely to
meet with unexpected difficulties, and Mr..
Atkinson closes his article with general
review of the situation of this and other
Industries in this country, which gives us
cheering hopes Of the future. He is no
doubt right we have oil the machinery Of
production and transportation in over
abundance we arc not poor, but rich but
with currency of uncertain value and laws
which deprive us of the profits Of for
eign transportation and disable us from
exchanging our finished products for the
raw material of other countries, VIC are suf-
fering for the lack of markets. We have so
greatly prospered that our manufacturers
are able to produce more than our own peo-
pie can consume what we now need is the
ability to sell our surplus products in for
cign markets; when We can sell this surplus
or exchange it abroad for what we need
then NIL the productive powers we have will
be again fully employed, but not before.

that Mr. Hayes means to carry out his policy
'.if it takes all the Offices to do it," and that,
in his belief, the President will judiciously
divide the public plumber among the radical

he gives of what has SO far been done, and
how it has been done, is certainly curious

Louisiana Politicians on the Future
OF Parties.

Our New Orleans correspondent sends us
the views of several of the leading demo-
cratic aud republican politicians Of Louisi-
ana. Messrs. Warmoth and McMillen, re-
publicans, and Spofford and Wilt, demo-
Gratis, do not believe any immediate redi-
vision of parties probable. Messrs Albert
Leonard, Dibble and Wharton, republicans,
and Penn, Burke, Zacharie and Bush,
democrats, on the contrary, believe the
formation of n new party imminent, cspc-
CHILLY in the South. General Gibson thinks
events yet to como and the action Of tho
President in selecting federal officers III the
South would have decisive effect upon
parties. All the republicans are agreed that
the Louisiana settlement is o happy thing
for the colored people. Mr.. McEnery says

nection of the service with party politics.
1t is not right to blame the Custom House
officers; they are themselves the victims of
wrong system. An order from the Presi-
dent forbidding public officers absolutely
from taking part in politics would do very
much to remedy all such abuses.
