sTANLEYS LOSSES

During the long and terrible journey
scross the continent from Nysngwe have
been very severe, The continuous fight
ing in the forests and on the rive- re-
duced the strength of the expedition
daily, until it became question whether
snv OF its members would ever res"h the
coast. Stanley states in his dispatch: My
griet is still new over the loss OF my last
white assistant, the brave and pious
young Englishmsn, Francis Pocock, who
WAS swept over the tails of the Mssssss
on the Sd Of las June. He adds; My

among the lost.

STANLEY with seven men, were almost

swept over the Falls of MbelO, whence
only by q miracle they escaped. The

CHAMBERLAIN WILL HOLD OUT.

BURIAL OF THE JEWEI'TS.

WAsHINGToN, April s

New complications have arisen in
South Carolina affairs. Governor
Chamberlain and friends have deter
mined to make an effort to have him
to continue to assert his claim as Gov
ernor on the ground that if neither
him nor Hampton are properly inau-
gurated, then Chamberlain holds un
der a clause in the constitution Of South
Carolina which provides that all Off
GERS shall continue to discharge their
duties until their successors are elected
and qualified. Wright, the third
Judge of the Supreme Court, holds
this doctrine. Chamberlain, who ar
rived at Columbia yesterday, insists
that a Legislature must meet, If at all,
under Chamberlain's call and either
order a new election, or recanvass the
vote, or do whatever is to be done.
NEW YORK, April 8.
Yesterdays developments in the
Jewett tragedy make the theory that
Orville committed murder and suicide
more certain. The Coroner is said to
have discovered important evidence
regarding the affair, but refuses to
make it public. The funeral of Orville
d. Jewett took place to day from his
uncle's residence in Brooklyn. 1t was
attended by relatives and members of
the Loyal Legions of the United States,
of which deceased was brevet Lieu
tenant Colonel. The body was taken
to Greenwood Cemetery for interment.
The remains of George W.Jewett were
also entered to-day in the same ceme-
terry.
The only difficulty now in the way
of Tweed's release is his unwilling
ness to divulge names of Legislators
and others who received brides from
him in connection with the city
charter.
The Complexion Of the Next House
NEW YORK, April 9.

A Standards despatch from Berlin
says: Bismarck will Professionally be

ment and negotiations with Montene-
gro, and will he communicated to the

the deliberations.
LONDON, April 9.
French and Russian representatives
have particularly urged upon the
Porte TO accept the protocol and send
an envoy to st. Petersburgh, pointing
out that it is not a question of prelim-
mary disarmament, but of coming to
an understanding with Russia.
The Pail MdU Gazette says: Unless
Turkey yields to all or nearly all that
Russia ever demanded there will be
war before many days.

course and t o induce the Porte to send
a special envoy to st. Petersburg.
LONDON, April 9.
A dispatch from Celtinge states that
the Turks have concentrated "A battal-

ROME, April 9.
The retirement of Prince Bisma rex,
ifonly temporary, is looked upon by
the Vatican As an opportune moment
tor resuming negotiations with Ger
many with a view to regulating rela-
tons between the Church and State
and stopping the antagonism of the
last few years. 1t is reported that in.
huential persons have volunteered
their good offices. Faufulla states that
the representatives of the foreign Pow
ers, accredited TO the Holy See, have
been informed by their Government
that, in view of possible events in
Rome, they cannot leave during the
coming summer.

THE LAW.

From the Virginia Chronicle of the sth.l
John B. Robinson, a San Francisco

for his house, was arrested in this city
yesterday by Deputy Constable En-
ders, and his trial set for 4 o'clock this
afternoon, before Judge Moses. AS
soon as the arrest was made, j. II.
Graham proceeded to Carson and APP
piled to the Supreme Court for a writ
of hdbeds corpus, which was granted.
The writ commanded Sheriff Kelly 10
produce Robinson before the Supreme
Court o-day. In obedience to the writ,
the Sheriff took Robinson downto Car
SOL this morning. Judge Lewis, OF the
firm Of Lewis u Deal, will appeal for
the defendant, and will contest the
constitutionality of the drummer"
law, passed at the last session of the
Legislature, under which Robinson
was arrested. Lewis e. Deals fee is
rot a contingent one, as was erroneous
ly stated in yesterdays Chronicle.
They get 81 250, win or lose. The case
will probably be argued next Tuesday
or Wednesday.

A CURRENCY MOVEMENT

We read In a San Francisco paper
that there is a movement on foot in
that city looking to the adoption of
g~reenbacks as the general circulating
medium Of this coast. Of all the
States in the Union, California and Ne
vada have long maintained the single
gold standard. We get angry with
our brethren of the East for refusing
to join us in an enactment to remone-
tie silver, while we persistently object
to their money, which really bears a
premium over the standard we have
ourselves erected for the chief pro-
duct of the coast.
We insist that the General Govern
ment shall re-establish the double
standard, but decline to aid in the I'M
dertaking, evento the extent of III ex-
ample when it would be money in our
pockets to do so. There is something
strangely inconsistent in all this. 1t is
a poor rule that will not work both
ways, and SO long as we adhere to the
single standard ourselves we ought
not expect too much from the soft
money theorists of the East. There is
barely enough money to do the bust
nesst of lie countrywith greenbacks and
specie combined. There is no question
whatever about the credit Of the Gov
eminent and the fixed value of the
currency based thereon; and it is not at
all likely that there will eve again be
a material decline in gree nbacks.
They are now selling approximately at
par in all of the moneyed ceuters of
the Pacific slope. No argument can
be urged against paper currency on
the score of Inconvenience to the peo-
pie. Under this showing, is it sound
policy then for the advocates of the
double standard to longer taboo, not to
say repudiate, the money of the Gov
eminent? We think not. At all
events, we of the Pacific Coast can
hardly expect the people of the East to
become clamorous for the remonetiza
ton of our silver until we have made
up our minds to do something for
their greenbacks. If they take our
silver at par, we should not refuse their
paper, particularly when the discount
is in our favor.

in order that he may not be caught al

that he car retain control of the build

are becoming discouraged by the out
look, but will not yet suspend their ef-
forts to consolidate, the Legislatures.
Packard's action has greatly strength
