THE EASTERN TROUBLES.
England and Russia's Difference on
the Subject for the Conference.

England has refused to take part
even in the preliminary conference
of the Ambassadors, until Russia
has given formal engagement that
all the clauses of the treaty shall be
submitted to the congress.
A Vienna dispatch says prelim-
mary conference of ambassadors is
being planned at Berlin to settle the
question Of procedure at the Con-
gress. A Paris correspondent says
the proposal for a preliminary con-
ference is regarded as a last effort
of resistance on the pant of Russia.
The meeting of the conference,
though possibly not until the 18th
of April, may be confidently count
ed upon, in consequence of the en-
ergetic representations of Prince
Bismarck, who almost entirely
shares the views of Austria and
England.
A telegram from Constantinople
says: Strong detachments patrol
the streets day and night, on
account of the great excitement
which prevails over the posting of
seditious placards. The Turkish
garrisons of Shumla and Varna,
numbering $4,000 men, besides 10
600 Egyptian troops are expected
here.
The London Times says that the
latest phase of the difference be-
tween Russia and England is that
Russia, while admitting the right of
the congress to discuss all points of
the treaty, declines to be ultimately
bound by the decisions of the ma
jority of the Powers. A well in
formed st. Petersburg correspon-
dent states that Russia will not
allow interference with points con-
corning the war indemnity, Ar
menia and Bessarabia.
The Austrian Government has
been positively informed that the
Russians are concentrating on the
Austrian frontier.

ON THE FRONTIER.
Among the Bears, Bufalos and Red
skins.
A Narrow Escape from the Latter
by q Giles Countian.

Mr.. J. H. Vaughan, of Parkstord,
Brown county, Texas, formerly of
Giles county, has been to the from
tiers of Texas on a big hunt He
narrates his adventures as follows
in letter to Mr.. Richard Vaughan
of Coopertown:
/ have just returned from a pro-
tracted bear hunt. l started the
Sth of January and returned the
26tb of February. l never enjoyed
myself better in my life. The party
consisted of Messrs. Mayfeld, Liv
ingstCn, Brough, Blunket and my
self. We went south on the Nueces
and DEVILS rivers, and also on the
Rio Grande river 275 miles. We
had lots OF fun, although we had to
be very careful about the Indians.
l saw a great many things that were
great curiosities to me. saw herds
of butfalos, antelopes, deer, wild
cattle, turkeys, panthers, and every
thing that was to be seen, but more
bees than anything else. We went
into 10 caves and got more honey
than we could make use of. We
killed panthers and bears and
buffalos and muskhogs until l was
completely tired out. The rest of
the party was not satisfied, but l
concluded to go home to see to my
business. Soon after / started and
early in the morning a party of
Redskins got on my trail and gave
me plenty of company all day. l
had as good pony as they had,
and would run a while and then
make stand and keep them back.
l could not get away from them
until dark, when went into a cedar
thicket against a large bluff, and
they were afraid to come on me,
and they left me. l felt lonesome
that night alone in the river bot
tom, with no fire and no company
but my pony ana gun. l tell you l
appreciated my scalp more that
night than l ever did before. 1t
was raining and laundering and it
made me think of home. l won
dered if you all thought OF me that
night. You bet l was glad to get
home. saw some delightful coun-
try southwest, but, o, the Redskins;
they are doing a great deal of mis-
chief on the frontiers this year.
was 100 miles from their settlement
when the party got after me.
Yours truly, j. H. VAUGHAN.

Going Behind the Returns.

New York Herald: Mr.. Hayes is
President of the United States fair
ly and through the legitimate oper-
alton of the political machinery;
but if there had been any power in
the United States Government or
any authority under the Uuited
States laws to ego behind the re-
turns" from Louisiana, it is thought
by many persons rather more than
likely that another man would have
been to-day where Mr.. Hayes is.
But the action of a State was a
thing SO supremely sacred that the
whole United States could not
change it-could not set it aside
could not ignore it. If the man put
in office was not elected the people
of the United States were wronged !;
but there is no proceeding by which
their light could be asserted if the
chicanery by which the wrong was
wrought is certified to legitimately
as the act of q State. One of the
rights of State is to have even its
roguery accepted by the nation, if
regularly certified to by the proper
officers. That was the doctrine I'M
der which the present occupant of
the Presidency was seated. But In
Washington they seem to have an
unequal respect for the different
acts of the authorities of the same
State. They do not esteem the
conviction of Anderson by the
Courts of Louisiana as an act whose
validity they are bound to respect;
and yet it was all regularly done by
the proper authorities. They main
tain Anderson in an office of trust
in the United States Government
though he is a man under sentence
to the State prison. This is be-,
cause they believe he is innocent.
But where do they get the right to
go behind the returns" or to be-
lieve anything not in the record?
They are not the State officers, and
their opinion that Anderson is not
guilty is dLiunde.

HAYES TITLE.
Is the Agitation on the Subject at
Rest?-

New York, March l6.-The Tele-
grams Washington special says the
agitation of President Hayes title
has been put permanently at rest
by the recent declaration of Mr..
Blackburn, of Kentucky, who has
been credited with intending to stir
up the matter confirms Mr.. Hewitt s
statement. He says that Mr.. hayes
right to the Presidency will never
be disturbed, and he knows of no
movement to disturb it. He says
there is a movement on foot for a
very thorough and complete investi
CATION OF the manner in which Mr..
Hayes was declared elected. This
investigation is certainly coming,
and a good many Republicans will
be glad to see it started, and will do
what they can to help it.

SCHEDULE.

The committe on Banking and
Currency in Congress has prepared
three important financial bills. One
to retire the National Bank circula
ton and substitute treasury notes,
which are to be received for all
Government and one third of the
Custom House dues. The second
is a postal and savings bill, and the
third, bill which provides for free
deposits of silver bullion and the is
sue of coin deposits therefor. These
certificates are redeemable by the
government and receivable for all
dues thereto. The first and third
of these bills are very important
financial measures, and will give
great relief to the country if they
can be passed. There is a strong
probability that they will receive a
majority support, but the fear is
that two-thirds maj rity will be
necessary. The president would
doubtless veto both measures.

General 6. w. Gordon announces
his candidacy for the Office of At
torney General of the Criminal
Court. General Gordon, outside OF
his high professional standing and
social position, has won the respect
of his fellow citizens by heroic de-
votion at a time when death stalked
in a more dreadful form than
through all the battles of his sol
dier's career. General Gordon
will prove a hard man TO defeat,
both from his known capacity and
deserved popularity.-NeDaphis AVa.
Gen, Gordon can get the unani-
nous endorsement of Giles county if
it will do him any good. He is
worthy and competent to an eminent
degree.

Report Of Committee, Buford Grange
No. $50.

Whereas, in HIS inscrutable prov
idence, the Great Master of the uni
verse has seen proper to remove
from US our beloved and honored
worthy master, Albert Buford, which
sad event took place at his home on
the morning Of the 10th day Of Feb
ruary, 1878,
Therefore, as a suitable exprs 5
sion of sorrow for the great loss
Buiord Grange has received, be it
unanimously
Resolved, That this Grange has
lost in the death of our beloved
brother one of its main pillars and
a brother whose noble heart beat in
unison with the highest aims OF the
order-the amelioration of the con-
dition of the masses and the eleva-
ton and prosperity of the farming
class.
Resolved, That this community
sustains an irreparable loss in the
death of one whose unfiInching in
tegrity and sound judgment pre-
eminently qualified him for the dis
charge of the many onerous and in
tricate duties which he was so often
called upon to perform.
Resolved, That we extend our
sincere and heartfelt sympathy and
love to his bereaved and stricken
family in their Irreparable loss of q
husband, father and a protector,
and may they trustingly lean with
their burdens on the true and eter-
nal God, who has promised to be
the protector and friend, the father
and guide of the widow and orphan;
for He and He alone can sustain
them in this their hour of sad be-
reavement. May they remember,
too, there is healing In the bit
ter cup. God, indeed, takes from
us those we love, but through faith
we look forward to a reunion in
better world where there will be no
separation.
Resolved, That Sister NJ. A. E.
Buford be appointed to deliver to
the widow and family of our de
ceased worthy master a copy of
these resolutions; also that the Sec
rotary send a copy to the pulaski

The Texas Pacific.

The Senate Railroad Committee is
ready, not only to recommend fav
o-able report upon the Texas Pa
clfic, but also to order an adverse
report upon the Southern Pacific
bill. The friends OF the latter have
agreed TO make no further opposi-
ton in the committee to fayorable
action. on the Texas Pacific measure
provided the Southern Pacific bill
should be placed on the Senate cal
ender without an accompanying ad
verse report. The bill recommended
for passage is almost a copy of the
m easure adopted by the majority
of the House committee.

The Washington correspondent
of the Courier Journal says the up
pertendom of Washington Is pro-
foundly agitated with the fact that
up to this time the entire diplomat
&c corps, male and female, has been
omitted in all invitations to dine at
the White House. Such a neglect
is very unusual, if not unpre-
cedented. The cause is believed to
be the trouble about having wine
on the Presidential table, the aver
age diplomat regarding wine as es-
sential to the art of dining, and the
Executive being sternly opposed to
supplying any such pleasant temp
tation to the unwary. The subject
is a very perplexIng one, and how
it is to be adjudicated the Lord only
knows. The feminine portion of
tabooed foreign element do not take
the thing as amicably as do their
lords and masters.

How Little Money We Have.

The CincinnGti Enquirer puts it
thus. Assuming the population OF
the United States to be forty five
millions our currency is less than
fifteen dollars per capita. This is
in the hands, not of the people, but
of the bankers, the brokers, the
money LENDERS, who persist in say
ing that there is too much money in
the country. 1t is the money lend
er, the note shaver, the two per
cent. Shylock, the men that purs
chase property at tax sales, who
hover about Court houses TO grab
bargains: who, in all towns and
school districts. held the notes Of
their neighbors and hold themselves
in readiness TO pounce upon the
debtor, that are bowling against q
sufficient currency. Having con
trscted the currency from forty dol
lars per capita, 70 fifteen. the money
power still is not satisfied. Let the
people vote with the party that ad-
vocates a peoples currency policy
and good times will come"

A Berlin dispatch says that the
reason England insists that all the
terms of the Russo Turkish peace
conditions shall be brought before
the congress is because it is feared
there are secret conditions which
will give the Car great advantages.
England remembers, probably, that
in 1888, when Turkey was at a pref
ty low ebb, she consented to a Sc
cret article of the treaty of Adrian
ople, which provided that the Porte
whenever the Car demanded it
shonld close the DardaDeiles against
the men-of-war of all other foreign
powers. England soon discovered
this arrangement, and brought the
powers together at London in 1871
and secured treaty whereby the
Dardanelles were recognized as
Turkish waters, and not a highway
for the nations, and no foreign ship
of war was allowed to enter the
straits. Of course, England has
broken this treaty,
which was emphasized in the treaty
Of Paris. England, it will be OBJ !
served, claims the right to seize any
on the globe at pleasure |
and to navigate any waters whatev-
sr when she can use them to suit her
without regard to treaty |

When a child is taken with Group,

to the neck and chest with a

sufferer also drink freely of the cold
water. Then wipe it dry, cover it
