President Hayes Policy.

WASHINGTON, Nov. H.
A caucus of Republican Senators was
held this afternoon. The Senators who
waited on the President TO acquaint him
with the comments of the previous eau
Gus gave an account of what took place.
They reported that the President in re-
sponse to the statement of whispered
uneasiness and dissatisfaction which had
been created among his party friends by
his appointment of Democrats to South.
ern offices, ETC., had argued that his
policy in this regard was not prejudicial
to the interests of the Republican party,
and certainly was not adopted by him
from any want of earnest desire for the
perpetuation and maintenance of Re-
publican power and principle On the
contrary, it was his expectation and be-
lief that the pursuance of this policy
would promote coalition of the old
Whig and various other elements natu-
rally opposed to the Democratic party
in the South, and eventually secure six
or eight Southern States for the Re-
publicans,
All the Senators at the interview eX-
pressed themselves TO the caucus as con-
vinced that the President was thorough
| ly sincere in this belief They also re-
ported that the President said he was
very desirous to be in harmony with
the leaders of the party, and was graft
fed to have had an opportunity of as
certaining thus definitely and clearly
the views expressed. Advice and can
did criticism would always be welcome
to him, and he hoped and believed there
would be less cause for complaint in the
future. In any event, if there should be
any differences of opinion there need be
no occasion for i'll feeling, and he trust
ed there would be none.
Free discussion followed as to the
propriety and probable effect of the
Presidents policy in case it should be
pursued by him and acquiesced in by
the Senate. An Interchange of views
developed an almost unanimous opin-
ion that the policy of appointing Dem
ocrats to Office in the South is not wise
or sound, and Senators known as friends
of the Administration expressed doubts
whether its pursuance would have the
effect of which the President is san
guine.

Directions to Young Men in the Art Of
Proposing.

Young man, you can secure any woman
you want if you will exercise care as to
the time and place, with some little regard
as to the manner. Never propose to a
youngla after hearty meal. The blood
her imagination is chilled. Nor should
it come just before meal, for the long
ings of the impOrtunate system cOnduce
to anxiety and irritability, and the shock
may prove hazardous. 1t would be bet
ter to select the evening, and generally
after you have taken her to some enter
tainment. Her nerves are then apt to
be stronger, and her mind may have al
ready dwelt upon the possibility until
she is perfectly prepared for the reality,
Never forget yourself so far as to pro-
pose on returning from a theater. She
will have the style and air of some actor
before her mental vision, and you can't
compare with the romance she throws
over him. The best way is to invite her
to some entertainment you know she
wants to attend and then propose to her
Just as she is ready to start. This will
be greatly to your advantage, for she
will easily see that rejection will upset
an evenings entertainment and will large
ly influence her decision.
In the spring of the year you must re-
member that her system is undergoing q
change, and there must be a change OF
scenery to excite her torpid Imagination
Never risk proposal in the house al
this season. Take her out for drive
over the worst possible road available
When at distance from home cOnven
lent for your purpose tell her frankly
that she must consent OF walk back
Nine times out of ten she will prefer the
| ride.
The summer possesses claims owe
other seasons, if natural advantages ar,
iudiciously applied. Strolls in the wood
have been found efficaoious, or losing
ones way in blackberry patch will
bring reasonable women to terms. Neve
go fishing with view TO proposing. Yol
can't avoid smelling of bait, perfum
inconsistent with love-maklng.
In the fall of the year you should avoi'

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

The final result of the French elections is
that the Republicans have majority in
forty-nine and the Conservatives in thirty
eight departments.
In the French Chamber of Deputies on the
14th the Duke de Broglie declared that
the Government would not submit
to the proposed electoral inquiry. He ac-
cused the Left of intimidation and fraud.
Gambetta characterized his speech as able,
hut perfidious, and said that it meant stub
bornness and resistance to the will of the
the country, Grevy's motion for an inquiry
into the election abuses was then passed by
vote Of 800 against 203.
The Blackburn, England, spinners and
weayers have struck on account of a reduc-
ton of 5 per cent.
Great uneasiness was felt at Belgrade on the
18th, a considerable force owing left there for
the frontier and the movement indicating a
demonstration against Austria.
A Paris telegram of the 18th says the new
Cabinet has been selected. None of them be-
long to either House. President MacMahon
expresses his determination TO remain at his
post defending social order as long as he re-
ceives the support and cooperation of the
Senate.
The King of Abyssinia accepts the terms
proposed by Gen. Gordon.
The st. Petersburg Gazette recommends q
Russo-French alliance. The North German
Gazette says such an alliance would transform
the present friendship of Austria toward Rus
sia into hostility.
The Council of the Vatican has decided that
no powe. can veto the conclave's election OF
the Pope's successor.
The action of the French Senate on the 10th
on the resolution TO order an inquiry into the
election shows that the Senate has virtually
abandoned the Cabinet, and a Paris CORE
spondent telegraphs that unless the Precedent
governs with the majority the Senate may b'
regarded as having abandoned him.

p eY- The Confederate brigadiers and
copperhead allies in Congress are very
anxious Just now to reduce the number
of the army. The enlisted men gone, the
officers will soon follow. Meanwhile
Mr.. Blackburn introduces bill to repeal
the law that prohibits the reappOintment
to the army of those who resigned their
commissions, when the war broke out, to
enter the service of the rebels, deserving
their colors and taking arms against
them. When the Democrats get control
of the Senate, and the Presidency, as
they hope to do, not twenty or twenty
five thousand, but a hundred thousand
men will not be too many for the needs
of the country. Then, if the plan of Mr..
Blackburn succeeds, we shall see reor-
ganization of the army on grand scale.
New regiments and battalions will be
created, officered by new men, including
largely the x.Brigadiers, Colonels and
Captains of the Confederate army. This
is no fancy. The plan has been talked
over at Washington, and is correctly un-
derstood among the advocates of army
reduction. The first thing to be done is
to reduce the. army and muster out its
officers down to bare complement Tor
tbs skeleton force, then reorganize and
fill it up, with Democratic President,
War Secretary and Senate to confer com
missions upon new men.-CIe0stand

A Fathers Long Pursuit of His Sons
Murderer.

William Newland, son of Richard
Newland, an old and well-known farmer
of Washington County, in 1867, with his
Young wife and child less than a year
old, left his home to settle-in Kansas. In
company went Charles Waller and wife
and their son, neighbors. When they
reached Webster County, Missouri, New
land, his wife and child were murdered
under circumstances that led to the ar
rest of Charles Waller and his wife, the
son having escaped. Some days after
the tragedy the remains of Newland
were found in the woods, and
those of his wife were discovered
yond. The remains of the child were
never discovered, but bones were found
which some of the citizens thought might
be those of the child. Charles Waller
was put upon trial for the murder and
was found guilty, and in 1872 he ex plated
his crime on the gallows. His wife was
also tried for being accessory to the muir
der, and was sentenced to three years
Imprisonment in the Missouri Peniten-
tiary. Charles Waller was always re-
ticent about the murder, maintaining his
innocence stoutly up to a short time be-
fore his execution. Then he admitted
that he had gone out hunting with New
land and shot him in the woods. Upon
his return he totd his son that he had
disposed of Newland, and that they must
dispose of the wife and child to coveru
their tracks. Richard Newland, the
father of the murdered man, determined
that the son of Waller should also be
brought to justice. For five years he
has been searching, through detectives,
to discover his Whereabouts. His search
was finally successful, the son being
found upon farm up in Minnesota. He
was arrested and taken to Webster
County, Mo-, some time ago, and re-
Gently the trial took place and he'cOn-
fessed to manslaughter and was SEN
fenced to forty years in the penitentiary.
One of the main facts which led to his
conviction was the Identification of bed
spread and other articles belonging to
the murdered family. These articles
were identified by Mr., Newland as the
property of his daughter-in-law The
father of the murdered man has spent
large sums of money in ferreting out and
bringing to justice the murderers.-

the woods, for they are apt to be damp.
Seek the object at her home, and, after
reading to her for few hours-some-
thing of which you are the author will
be preferred-just tell her frankly what
you came for, admonishing her that you
propose taking your wife to the national
capital during the winter.
During the winter months it would be
also wise to avoid the woods, and, as
general thing, the house might be con-
sidered the proper place for your over
lures.
Never propose the day or evening you
take supper at the house, for there is
nothing that so impairs a young lady's
affection for a man as to see him eat.
In approaching young lady at this
time tco much meekness and lowliness
of spirit cannot be manifested. 1t is
well for man to linger with painful at
tention to details upon his unworthiness
He must speak of ais "frolics and faults"
and occasionally allude to himself as a
worm," to which may be added a par
enthetic desire to feed upon tho damask
of her cheek. A hint as to dark fate in
the event of rejection has been found
very efficacious, and suggestion of the
wave of despair has worked wonders.
There is no excuse for failure on the
part of any man who follows these di-
rections carefully Exchange.

THE EASTERN WAR.
The Capture ofKars.

LONDON, NOV. ~.
A Veran Kaleh special says Kars was
captured by about $4,000 Russians, who
climbed the steep rocks, ramparts and
walls and stormed an equal number,
desperately fighting the Turks in their
headlong flight over their bitches and
parapets, compelling them to die or
surrender. The escalade had been
originally fixed for the 18th, but IL was
postponed, owing to the bad weather.
The principal attack was made on the
southern forts.
Gen. Lazareff, who commanded the
right wing, consisting of the Fortieth
division, assaulted Hafz Pashas fort
crowning the steep rocky height. Gen.
Grabbe, with regiment of Moscow
grenadiers and regiment of the Thir-
ty-ninth division, attacked Hafiz Pasha
in the center of the Khauli Tahes, and
Gen. Tobia the three towers and the cita-
del. The Ardahan brigade and another
regiment of Moscow grepadiers, under
Gems. Roop and Comaroff, forming the
left wing, assaulted Fort Inglis on the
north. The citadel, Fort Smoarri and
Fort Haiiz Pasha were carried by as
sault.
The attack began in the center at
$3.50 Saturday evening, when Count
Grabbe led his brigade against the
Khanli redoubt, and he himself fell dead
at the first onset, pierced by bullet.
Capt. Kwadmicki, of the Thirty-ninth
Regiment, was the first to enter the re-
doubt at eleven o'clock at night. His
sword was cut clean out of his hand and
his clothes pierced.
The redoubt surrendered early in the
morning and then the three towers, al
most simultaneously with the capture
of the Khanli redoubt.
BY daylight Sunday Gen. Lazareff's
troops had made progress as far as the
capture of Fort Karadagh, The other
forts, especially Arab Tabia on the east
and Tamah Tabia on the west, main
tanned a stubborn resistance until eight
clock, when all the garrison which
could escape fled toward Erzeroum, but
these were subsequently overtaken by
dragons and Cossacks and brought
back prisoners.
Three hundred cannon, stores, ammu-
milton, etc, fell into the Russian hands.
The Turks lost 5000 killed and
wounded, 10000 prisoners and many
| flags The Russian loss was about
200. The Russian soldiers made but
trifling booty and spared the peaceful
citizens, women and children. Gen.
Millikoff directed the battle during the
day. The Grand Duke Michael was
present also. The former entered the
city at lilo Sunday morning.

Gen. Grant, among his English
speeches, made one praising reserve
forces. He declared that the success of
his scheme for the Vicksburg campaign
was due to the volunteers who, without
special military training, knew how to
build bridge 1900 feet long, and did it.
"We don't find that intelligence in the
rank and file of regulars" said the Gen.
eral. "They can do manual labor; but
among the volunteers you find that you
have mechanics and men of every pro-
fession aRd capacity, so that with them
| built 1000 feet of bridge where there
was great depth of water and great
swiftness of stream, and that too with
very little delay. That is where the vol
unteers come in and play the most active
part, and the ablest part"
