Death of j. Clancy Jones.

READING. Pa, March 20, 1878.-The
largest meeting of the Legal Association
of Berks county ever held took place i'm
this city this afternoon, to take action in
reference to the death of Mr.. j. Clancy
Jones, which sudden event occurred in
this city last Sunday night. Mr.. j. Hyen-
man, Judge of the County Court, pre-
sided, and long speeches were made and
suitable resolutions passed expressive of
the sense of the meeting, attesting the
high social character, the ability and the
political attainments of the deceased d

HAYES TRANQUIL.
Not at all Disturbed by Sena-
tor HOwe's Speech-He Re-
lies on Public Opinion.

WASHINGTON, March ga number
of the Congressional friends of the
President called upon him .his morn
ing with reference to the speech of
Senator Howe, delivered yesterday.
They all expressed more feeling in
the matter than the President himself,
and suggested that the speech be an
swered, fearing that to permit II to
pass in silence might be an admission
OF its entire truth. The President
took different view of the question,
placing himself on the ground that
what he had done IN the way Of off,
cial action was based on his sense of
right, without thinking for a nom ent
what might be the result as affecting
him personally. He was opposed to a
public response, preferring that his
acts should be the best Interpreter OF
his motives and principles. He had
sought to perform his duty, and with
this he was content, no matter how
others, with preiudiced minds, might
view his conduct. All would reccc-
lect, he aid, how bitterly Senator
Howe had denounced President Lin
coin toward tie close OF the first term,
anc how others sought to prevent Mr..
Lincoln from being nominated for a
second IN, but not witnstanding all
this he was nominated and became
more popular than ever, the people
having become better acquainted with
him and appreciated his conduct the
more. President Hayes was perfectly
willing to be judged by the same trib-
unal. The President does not appear
to be in the least disturbed by Senator
Howe's speech, thinking that time will
1ully vindicate him.

LONDON, March q, 1878.
The final answer from st. Petersburg
to England's question whether the entire
Treaty of San Stefano will be submitted
TO the Congress is anxiouslv awaited.
The Times Of yesterday morning, in its
leading editorial article. expressed the
opinion that the more prudent Russian
statesmen, even the Gear himself, ought
to he ready to smooth the way for the as.
semblage Of the Congress.
ENGLAND REPEATING THE BERLIN ME-
MoRANDUN.
The contention of our government"
says the Times, "js justified In substance
by Europe, and, Though the emaining
objection is not one which ought to be
fatal, 1t is by Russia rather than us that
the objection ought, in strict Justice, TO
be removed" The preponderating opin-
ion at the capitals of the great Pow ers
seems to be that Russia will refuse, and
that this will render the situation very
critical in consequence. of the presence
of the British fleet in the Sea of Marmora
and the position of the Russians about
Constantinole; but that If ne unforeseen
incident or complication arises from
these circumstances war may be- avoided,
and, after a period of suspense damag-
ing to all the Powers, fresh proposal
Tor Conference or a Congress will be
brought forward under different forms
with hope of success.
KEY TO THE SITUATION.
The position of Austria is source of
much anxious curiosity. Selni-cfficial
organs have declared the Treaty of San
Stefano utterly unacceptable; but the fact
Is equally certain that Austria does not
support EDgland's demand concerning
the form Of its submission to the Con-
gress. Various explanations Of the latter
feature of Austria's policy are given.
RENEWING THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE.
The DAILY Telegraph's Vienna corres-
pondent says fatty that reconstitutiop
OF the triple alliance is preparing for the
purpose OF opposing the British policy.
70 this end, says the correspondent,
Russia Is offering Austria every copces-
sion, and he believes that the negotia-
ton will undoubtedly succeed. From
other advicos this seems an exaggerated
pro-Russian view. Austria's objections
are to the whole Treaty of San Stefano,
SO Russian concession on that head could
hardly 60 far enough to satisfy her.

The Maine Central Railroad.

The meeting of the Stakeholder, of the Maine
Central, in tins city, yesterday, was very tame
affair compared with the exciting struggles we
have heretofore witnessed at annual meetings
The road long since passed into the hands of cap
italists beyond the STATE, and yesterd v action
only clinched the transfer still more empatically
as shown by the retiring of another Name mem
ber from the board, and the filling OF his place by
New York gentleman. The new members Ot
the board as will be seen from the proceedings of
the meeting, published elsewhere, are George
>. Morrison of New York, William b. Bacon OF
Boston, aud W Hard +. Phillips Of salem, Mass.
We see no cause of alarm nervousness fiom
this fact. Wherever the owners may reside
whether the headquarters of the company will con-
tinue Oh trucks. and move forward to Boston, or
even New York-it will be for the interest OF all
concerned to manage the affairs of the
company wisely, judiclousy, with broad anu
liberal policy that will enure to the benefit Of
stockholders, bondholders and the public. Their
interests are identical. The road depends for its
life upon the business industries of Maine. Let
any policy THE Directors cripple those interests,
and it will be like putting live Goals into the
n ,
like that inaugurated last fall, in regard to
through travel, was one of the surest methods
that could possibly be adopted for keeping the
dollars from the Treasury of the company Il was
an outrage upon the people, and they have IA
prompt way of their own in resentng such
insults. Let the new board devise liberal thing,
seek to encourage the languishing industries
along its extensive line, and the report for next
year will not show a steady falling off in bust
ness.
In most respects, as shown by the report, the
road has been well managed the past year. To
the officers more Immediately connected with the
supervision of the road, great credit is due III
keeping the line in excellent condition, with Sc
cure culverts and safe bridges, adding constantly
