EAST AND SOUTHEAST.

Frost Coles and Alexander Sliey, two
prominent citizens OF Forest Depot, Camp
bell County, Va, on the 2sth met in the
woods by agreement and fought duel with
knives, the only witness being an old color
ed man who was called in to act as umpire
and see fair play. Both made a terrific on
slaught, which resulted in Sliey's receiving
a mortal wound in the left breast, his own
knife striking and breaking against his antag-
onist's breast-bone. Sliey fell dead and
Coles fled TO escape arrest. The two men
were brothers-in-la and had been warm
friends, but quarreled about some trivial
matter, the lie was given, and, in the opin-
ion Of one of them at least, nothing could
wipe out the insult but blood.

William Henry Robinson was hanged at
Bowling Green, Va. ,on the 3lst for the mur-
der of Elizabeth Ray. Both were colored, but
of more than ordinary intelligence. Will
liam was for one term after the War men,
Der of the Virginia Legislature, and Eliza
beth was a handsome quadroon, the belle of
the neighborhood. Jealousy was the sole
cause of the murder, which was committed
in most tragical manner on the day set for
Elizabeth's marriage with Frederick john
son, Robinson's successful rival, and the
spot selected by the jealous lover was the
church door, where, just as the happy
couple were about to enter, he fired at the
girl with gun, and she fell dead in her af-
fanced husbands arms. ..-
Two tramps entered the house of Mrs.
Bresky Baldwin, widow living near Taze-

31st, and attempted to rob her. She seized
an AK and Drained one of the villains. The
other then came upon her with a knife,
stabbing her twice in the breast, but not be-
fore she had dealt him a terrible blow with
the AK, nearly severing his right arm near the
shoulder. Onthe following morning neigh
Dor discovered the dead body of the dismem-
bered tramp in the road, and going to the
house found Mrs. Baldwin in dying condi-
ton and the dead body of the other tramp
lying in the room. There was no clew to the
identity of the men.

THE WAR TROUBLES.

A London dispatch of the Goth says: The
peace feeling is not so buoyant as yester-
day. Uneasiness is caused by the
apparent change in the attitude of Austria.
While England agrees to the Congress, Aus
tria is making demonstrations unfavorable
to Russia. No doubt is felt, however, that
the Congress will meet.
The London Globe of the 30th, in an extra
edition, published the following: "We have
good reason to believe that the assembling
of the Congress is definitely settled. En-
gland and Russia have arrived at an under
standing, subject to decisions Of the Con-
gress, on the following points: Bulgaria to
be divided into two provinces-one north of
the Balkans, under Prince, the other
South of the Balkans, but not touching
the lEgean Sea, with Christian
Governor, and Government similar
to that of an English col0ny-Turkish troops
to permanently quit Bulgaria. England de-
plores but will not oppose the retrocession
of Bessarabia or annexation Of Batoum, and
reserves the right to discuss in Congress
international arrangements relative to the
Danube. Russia promises not to further
advance her. Asian frontier or take indem-
nifty in land or interfere with claims Of
English creditors. The question Of
payment to be discussed by the
Congress, which will also reorganize Thes-
sally, Epirus and other Greek provinces.
Bayazid is to be ceded to Turkey, Turkey
ceding the province Of Tour to Persia.
Russia agrees that the passage of the Dar-
danelles and Bosphorus shall remain in
statu quo. England will suggest at the
Congress that Europe reorganize Bulgaria,
and will discuss the question of Russian oc-
cupation and passage of troops through
Roumania."
ish protectorate over Asiatic Turkey is like
ly to result from present complications.
A Vienna dispatch of the I'd says: Count
Andrassy informed the Hungarian delega-
ton that he had received positive commu-
nication that the Congress would assemble
on the 11th of June. The fact that Germany
had issued invitations was a favorable sign
that the basis on which Congress had been
summoned was already accepted by Russia
and England.
| A London dispatch of the Sd says: 1t is
reported that the Congress will be composed
of the following persons: Bismarck and
Count Won Bulow for Germany; Lords Bea-
consfeld, Salisbury and Odo Russell for
Great Britain; Count Schouvalof and NJ.
| D'Autril, Russian Ambassador at Berlin,
for Russia; Count Andrassy and Won Hay
merle for Austria; Waddington and De st.
valliere for France, and Count Corti and
Count DeLauray for Italy. 1t is not known
who will be the representatives of Turkey.

President Hayes, in correcting certain
misstatements made by a Philadelphia
newspaper correspondent in reference to a
recent conversation, authorizes the follow
ing: "What he did say was that present ag-
itation of the Presidential title might be
threatened with mutny, and that he would
in no way recognize any attempt to remove
him except by joint Impeachment of both
houses of Congress; that this was the only
constitutional method by which he could be
removed, and any other movement in that
direction would be resisted at every point
by him. He had taken the oath to preserve
the CONSTITUTE ion Of the United States, and
would use all his authority to do so. He
would deliver the Executive office in its in
tegrity to his successor. He also said he
did not believe that the Senate would ac-
quiesce If the House should impeach him."
