Tilden Must Make Restitution.

The Democratic papers don't seem
to be very enthusiastic oyer the pre-
tended revelations of Republican
frauds in the Florida, or any other
returns. They. are not specially dis
satisfied with the President, and they
never were very enthusiastic over
Samuel j. Tilden. And now they
begin to recognize the latter as really
owning character smirched with
frauds on the internal revenue, and
in fact have no special use for the old
bachelor. The Evansville Courier
(lndianal suggests to him, "that if he
would step up to the Captains office
and pay that income tax there are
great many Democrats who would be
willing to have Congress pass an act
declaring him to be honorary PreSi-
dent Of the United States, withom pay
or patronage!"

EXtractinn of an Eye.

Saturday afternoon DIR. w. F. Fun
denburg removed the left eye of a
daughter aged Is of Mr.. John Culp,
who resides near Frankfort, Mineral
county, w. Va. Miss Culp was un.
fortunate in losing the sight of her
eye from an attack of measles when
quite young. The eye was very much
reduced in size, and adhesions had
formed rendering the wearing of an
artificial eye impossible. The object
of the operation was to remove the
adhesions together with the eye, so
that the general deformity can be in
part relieved by the insertion of an
artificial eye. The patient was put
under the influence of ether and the
operation successfully performed.
Miss Culp will return home to-day,
having fully recovered from the
operation. An artificial eye will be
inserted in three weeks. The doctor
was ably assisted by Drs. g. B. Fun
denberg, Schindel and Parsons

Another palace revolution is threat
ened at ConstantinOple. A conspir-
acy for the overthrow of Sultan
Abdul Hamid and the accession of
Murad or somebody else was actually
fixed for one day last week, but
fear of Russian interference proven
ted the attempt, and the effort has
been postponed until after their de-
parture. The majority of all the
Pashas and all the late Ministers are
against the Sultan, and the people are
sullen and disconnected on account
of the tax on Dread, causing it TO be
at famine prices. Osman Pasha is
cursed on all sides by the other Pa
shas, styling him as fool and trail
tor. Without either English or Rus
sian support Abdul Hamid, who
succeeded his elder brother Murad in
August, 1876, as Sultan, could not
stay on the throne another day. The
Porte has notified the Powers that it
cannot evacuate Shumla, Varna and
Batoum until the Russians retire,
and according to the treaty of San
S;etano, the surrender of Adrian
opie. The Russians, of course, main
tain the counter proposition, that
they cannot withdraw until the
Turks evacuate the fortresses.
