PHILADELPHIA LOCO MOTIF VES FOR
RUSSIA.
A few days ago the agent of the Bald
win locomotive works, in st. Petersburg,
Russia, sent the establishment a cable
despatch, stating that the Imperial Gov
ernment required a large number of To-
t)motives at once, and asking whether the
Baldwin works could finish forty first
class engines by February, 1878, and in
timatiDg that that large order, if given
would be followed by one still larger.
Mr.. Charles T. Parry, ,one of the company
sailed from New York for Europe on the
steamer Celtic, last Saturday, and will
proceed at once to st. Petersburg, where
he hopes to close the contracts.
The Baldwin Works are now quite
busy, and are completing on an average
four engines a week, employing 100
hands. They have facilities for building
ten engines week, and employing 5000
hands should business require it. They
are now shipping four narrow gauge en-
gines to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, three to
Cuba, three TO Queensland, Australia,
and two steam street cars for Cali
fornia. They will ship this week two
narrow gauge engines for the Denver
(Colorado) and Rio Grande Railroad,
and one for the Atchlson, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railroad. They are al so build
ing one to be sent to St. John, New
Brunswick, and one for the Willard
Asylum, near Watkins Glen, New York.

The nuttering Of the Coming storm.

The shout for Hayes and Wheeler is
no longer heard IN the land. At the
loudest, along during the fall and upon
the browning of the Returning Board
and Bradley commission frauds, it was
never very stentorious. We do not
remember when it ever rose above what
the musicians call diminuendo, except
now and then when a screech-owl
chorus of beef eaters, sinecurists, and
bayonet-sustained carpet-baggers took
the floor. But now, even in the hour
of triumph---such as it is---the shout
is nowhere to be heard. Indeed,
instead of Joyous shouts in the victo-
rioos party in this the second month of
the reign of Hayes, there is heard in
every direction the mutterings of dlscord
add dissatisfaction.
Hayes has politically proved traitor
to himself and the party which placed
him in the PRESIDENCY. Moreover,
toward the very men who, to place him
in his present position, waded up to the
very eyebrows in fraud and venality, he
has proved monster of ingratitude. 800

In the South Carolina House Of
Representatives at Columbia, S. C..
Saturday. a resolution was offered by
Charles Mintout, colored, for the APP
pointAent of committee to investigate
the Official conduct Of J. j. Wright,
associate justice of the Supreme Court
of NE STATE. Minout, in supporting his
resolution, said that the election Of
Wright In the FIRST instance was fraud
upon the people; that he has disgraeed
the party which elected him, has proved
himself drunkar1, and to his min
out's) certain knowledge had been over
and over again picked Up dead drunk in
the cutters of Columbia. He hoped
when the committee makes its report
every republican in the House would
vote to declare his seat vacant. Reed
and Hamilton, both colored, Of Beau
fort, spoke earnestly In favor Of the
resolution, on the ground that Wright
had disgraced the bench and the eolored
race which exalted him to seat upon
it. The resolution was passed by 70
to Ii.

DEATH OF Ex-Gov. BRowNLow.-
VIM. G. Brownlow, a journalist and
politician Of some note, died yesterday
at his home in Knoxville, Tenn, after
long illness. He was born in Wythe
county, Va, in 1908, and learned the
trade of carpenter. In 1926 he en-
tered the Methodist ministry, and la
bored for ten years as an itinerant min
lister. In 1887 he became editor Of the
Knoxville Wing, political paper, where
he achieved the reputation of violent
partizan but trenchant writer. He
strongly opposed secession, and in De-
cember, 1861, was arrested for treason
against the Confederecy, and detained
until 1862, when he was sent within
the Union lines. In 1864 he returned
to Tenn, of which he became Govern
or in 1865; and 1869 he was elected to a
seat in the United States Senate, where
he was chiefly conspicuous for his unfor-
giving course towards those who had ta-
ken part on the Confederate side during
the war. At the time of his death Mr..
Brownlow was the political editor OF
the Knoxville Chronicle, a republican
paper.

The first engagement, officially re-
ported, between the Turks and Russians,
has been fought at Tchorukson, in
Asiatlc Turkey. The Turks claim to
have put the Russians to rout with a
loss of 800. An engagement near
Abraham, also in Asiatic Turkey, re-
suited in the Russians falling back-No
fighting has taken place on the Danabe.
The Turkish troops have occupied
kalafat, in Western Roumania. The
Russians have made a movement in
strong force to the east, to apparently
secure passage through Dobrudsha,
in northeastern Bulgaria, 1t is doubt
full if the Turks, who have been hurry
ing toward Dobrudsha, can arrive in
time to prevent them from crossing the
Danube in that quarter. 1t is believed
that the first battle on the European
side will be fought there-Movements
in force are also being made by the
Russians towards Servia, as well as in
other directions along the line of the
Danube--Itis said that Roumania will
declare war against Turkey--The
Greeks in the Island of Hydra have
revolted against the conscription---It is
stated that Prime Minister Ristics, of
Servia, intends to resign---Gen. Won
Moltke explains that the German mill
tary measures are not intended to be
aggressive or ofensive---The Turkish
feet is bombarding Chekfetik.

Republicans Should speak Out.

Ii the Republicans Of the country can
sanction policy which accomplishes
the violation ofgood faith, the repudia-
ton of party principles and the nullii-
carion of constitutional requirements
by methods Of such character as those
by which the lawful Government of
Louisiana has been sought, then, in
deed, we have fallen upon evil times.
If a protest against the consumulation
OF this outrage does not 60 Up from
every loyal State in the Union. then,
indeed, shall we be prepared to believe
that the noblest sentiments Of our peo-
pie have been, but as sounding brass
and tinkling cymbals," that the war
for national supremacy was failure.
and that we have started upon a course
OF reaction which will not be arrested
until every vestlge of our triumph over
treason and every blood-wrought guar
antee Of Republican liberty and equal
rights shall be swept away. 1t is time
for the people to speak.

THE LOUISIANA SENATOR'S There
can be little doubt that Judge Spofford,
democrat, who has been elected United
States Senator for Louisiana for the
full term, commencing 18th of March
last, will be admitted to seat in the
Senate at the special session of Con-
gress in June, although it is possible
that Mr.. Blaine will attempt to keep
him out of the seat. In January last
State Senator James B. Eustis was
elected by the democratic Legislature
as Senator for the term which began in
March, 1873, for which Pinchback was
so long a claimant. When his case
came before the Senate the committee
on privileges and elections reported his
credentials back to the Senate, with the
recommendation that they lie on the
table, this action being based on the
allegation that there was no vacancy,
and presumably, therefore, that Pinch
back had been legally elected. AT the
extra session of the present Senate in
March no action was taken in Mr..
Eustis's case, but it IS probable that he
will be admitted at the special session
in June. Pinchback having retired,
the republican Legislature in January
undertook to elect a mulatto, James
Lewis, as the successor to his claims,
but quorum was not present, and Mr..
Lewis has not yet put in an appear
ance at Washington IN Pinchback's old
role.

COLUMBIA, S. G., April 29.---Proofs
are coming to light at last against some
of the worst of the public plunderers
who have controlled legislation in this
State for years past, which can hardly
fail to transfer them from the legisla-
tive halls to the penitentiary. 1t will
be shown by an accumulation Of official
vouchers running through many years
that much of the present State debt was
incurred for champagne, cigars and
other luxuries, as well as costly furni-
ture supplied in large quantities to the
black and white leaders Of the legisla-
tive ring at their private residences.
Although these transactions have long
been notorious here the development
of the proof to convict is a great sensa-
ton and creates CONSERVATION among
the public thieves.
Chamberlain's family left tonight for
Washington. His furniture and effects
have been shipped to the same point,
and he will follow in person as soon as
he can settle his business matters.
1t is stated tonight that the republi-
can State House officers have. after
mature deliberation, determined to
withdraw their claims to the respective
positions lately occupied by them. One
or more conferences have been held
already on the subject, and another and
last will be held tomorrow, and it is
probable their withdrawal will then be
publicly announced. If they should so
agree consultation will be held be-
tween counsel on each side. and con-
sent. order or Judgment taken in the
Supreme Court, the desired effect of
which will be to have each side pay
their own costs, after which the demo-
Gratis will occupy the offices. The sec
ret of the contemplated surrender lies
in the fact that Dunn and Cardozo, who
claim to be comptroller and treasurer
respectively, know that they alone will
have to bear the entire costs if the suit
proceeds, and they want to save their
pockets.

the Philadelphia Geological Society,
held on Thursday, the fifth yearly re-
port Of the directors as read. 1t con
tanned among other details the follow
ing statement Of last years work
1.-THE influx of strangers coming to the
centennial largely added to the num-
Der of visitors. From the LIST of March
1876, to the LIST of March, 1877, 657,-

space of time, and an increase over the
preceding twelve months Of 237,5l9
persons. The total receipts at the gates
were s151, o60 60, an amount from such
a source the largest ever known. The
largest receipts Of the London Zoologi-
cal Society were in 1s75s143, 690--and
they were due to interest on invest
msnts and donations and requests.
Since the closing Of the centennial the
garden has felt the financial depression
under which the country is laboring and
its receipts are sensibly affected" The
total number of members. exclusive of
loanholders, is 977, an increase of Is
since the last report, and the number of
losnholders 1876. The average daily
receipts from admission were a413,S6;
the greatest number ofvisitors on any
one day 20,7l5, on Sunday, October %,
1876. OF animals there are now on
exhibition 405 mammals, SOC birds and
1872 re ptiles, the total bring O,73O. The
income for the year ending March !,
1877, was sl5S, 900 "a, and the expendi-
lures sS7, 4s7 II. The most serious
POSSES Of the society have been the

DOM Patt, of the Washington
Capital, is very rough on the New Eng
land conference. He says:
There is grave doubt as to whether the
North Methodist Church ought to DO
styled religious organization with politi-
cal proolivities or political organization
with religious pretensions. For my own
part, after vigilant scrutiny of its pre-
&c sses for several years, l should say that
while the religion of the North Methodist
Church may embody the words o f Christ,
its political faith is made up Of the medi-
tations of the two persons between WHOM
He was cruciiied. l have been moved TO
these trite reflections by reading in the
Boston papers an account of the transac-
tons of the New England conference
lately in session at Lynn, Massachusetts,.
