tain the full returns of the recent cleo
ton in Rhode Island. They show that

Whether this falling Of in the Repub-

attributed to the action of the party in
counting in President who was not
elected, is not stated The Democrats
had no hopes of carrying the State,
and could scarcely fud candidates for

TELEGRAPH SUMMARY.

Alex. Fl. Stephens continues to inn
prove in health and speaks very hope
fully of the future OF the country.
The Louisiana Commission, after re-
ceiving Hayes cipher dispatch last
evening and bestowing due considera-
ton udon it, adjourned until this morn
ing.
Montenegro will defer the resumption
of hostilities until Russia's final
decision. The Minister of War has
ordered the calling out in the entire
military district of ST. Petersburg of all
soldiers on furlough before the 22d
iDstant.
At st. Petersburg a Grand Council
of War is being held. The Council re.
CARDS the Turkish circular as CON-
plete rejection of the protocol, and
therefore declines the Porte's proposal
to send a special pienipotentisry to St.
Petersburg, as further negotiations are
useless.
A special from Washington says the
President sent cipher message to the
Louisiana Commission last night re-
questing that body to attempt no
further adjustment of affairs beyond
what he suggests in the dispatch and
that they return at the earliest possible
moment to Washington
A telegram to the London Times of
to-day from Athens states that the
news of the movements of the Russian
army has caused considerable excite
ment there. The Government and
opposition agree that the Greek ele-
ment shall not become complicated
with the struggle. Affairs in Gambia
are critical. The Turks have sent two
mountain guns and two battalions to
prevent meeting of Christians a,
Omalosa. The Government has tele.
graphed for eight Battalions. A fleet
of Austrian iron clads is expected al
Paraeris.
The London Standards Vienna cor.
respondent says: Russian officers
from Persia reports that forty thous,
and Persian troops have concentrated
near the Turkish frontier. The Gar
will start on the Gath inst. for the
vicinity of the army. A manifesto viii

A SIGNAL FAILURE.

The Commission composed of four.
tRepublicans and one Democrat, sent
tby HAYES to Louisiana, to ascertain
who was elected Governor without
inquiring into the election, have given
IMP the task. They telegraphed to
Washington for further instructions,
and received an answer in cypher
requesting them not to go outside the
letter of their instructions, but return
to Washington at the earliest possible
moment The Commission has. there
fore. as every person endowed with
ordinary intelligence believed 1t weuld,
iproved a signal failure. 1T had no
authority to act. it was simply the
creature of the Presidents fancy, and
it was hflnpered With instructions
which prevented its members from
inqniring into the recent election and
ascertaipiug from the retarns who was
elected Governor Of the State. 1t
appears that the Commission though
composed Of four Republicans to one
Democrat, was disposed TO accept the
returns of the Nichols Legislature as
the only available method of arriving
at conclusion. but the cypher dispatch
from Washington prevented that pro-.
ceeding which would undoubtedly result
in showing thaf neither Packard nor the
Hayes Electors carried the State. and
that the title of the latter TO the Presi
dency was no better than that of the
former to the Governoisbip As it is
well known by the Administration that
tan Investigation OF this character would
reveal unpleasant traths, the Commits
sion was instructed not to inquire into
the bottom facts of the Louisiana
election, and they are now recalled.
Meantime Packard issues an address.
calling on his friends in the North for
money and arms and refusing to relin
,quish his claims on Louisiana for o
Federal appointment.

DID NOT WANT 1T.

The Virginia Enterprise says A. P.
X. Stafford was not removed from the
Governorship of Arizona. He would
accept the Office no longer, having too
much other business to attend to. As
Stafford was a Hnmboldt pioneer and
with the assistance of another white
man and two or three Piutes, among
them Dolby" John, whose wickiup is
within rite range CT the SILVER STATE
office, made adobes for one of the first
and most substantial buildings in
Unionvile. we are pleased to learn that
a man Of his energy was not contami-
mated with "crookedness" while hold
ing Office under Grant. In justice to
honest and Efficient officiais such as We
believe Governor Stafford to be, our
fraudulent President ought to explain
the cause of their retiring from Office,
as his civil service rRles leave the i'm
preston that they are Being ousted for
cause.

Compliment TO a wheeling Educa.

The Teachers Institute which COM
menced its session in this place last Mon
day, is still In full blast, under the man
sgemeEt of Professor Snowden, OF
Wheeling. A comparatively large mum.
Der of teachers are present from this and
adjoining counties, and they COM
pare very tsvorably with the COM
mon instructors throughout the
State. The proceedings of the
Institute are listened to by quite q
number of our citizens every day with
evident interest. The session will be
held every day, except Sunday, until the
oath, and we hope all who take part IN
It's exercises will be greatly benefited
thereby. There is plenty Of room Tor
improvement among our teachers, and
we hope this institute may have ten
dency to inspire among them
desire to excel III their pro-
tcssion. Speeches on the subject
of education were delivered Monday,
Wednesday and Thursday nights by
Rev. James Haynes, Rev. B. Babe and
Major II. w. Brszie, all of which were
full of good advice to the teachers, and 1t
is to be hoped that they will profit by
them. On Tuesday night Prot Snowden
delivered very interesting lecture on
Chemistry" illustrating his remarks
with experiments. Prof. Snowden Is
one Of the most prominent educators OF
the State, and is very popular among the
teachers Fayetteville Enterprise.
