William Cullen Bryant, one of the
greatest and purest writers of prose and
poetry America has ever produced, died
at his residence in New York on last
Thursday, after an illness of about ten
days, from the effects of a fall caused by
an attack of vertigo. Mr.. Bryant was
eighty-four years of age, and up to the
day of his fatal fall was more vigorous
than men of that advanced age are gen.
orally. He was, as o poet, a writer of
great purity and beauty, while in his
prose he combined force with elegance,
without bombast, in a style which is
rarely met with. In early life he prac-
ticed law, which he gave up to assume
the duties of journalist, and as editor
of the New York Evening Post placed
his reputation among the best English
writers. In politics for many years past
he was Republican. He was, however,
too fair-minded and moderate in his
views to achieve much distinction in this
sphere, and he leaves to his country
reputation that is unsullied. AS poet
and as prose writer he was great man,
and for his death those of literary tastes
in America may we'll lament.

The Congress of the first powers of
Europe has assembled in Berlin for the
purpose of attempting to settle the COM
plications growing out of the Russo
Turkish war, and thereby prevent, if
possible, the conflict between Russia and
Great Britain. The following nations
are represented by the plenipotentiaries
named: England-Beaconsfeld, Sails
bury and Russell; Austria-Andrassy,
Karobyl and Haymerle; France-Wad-
dington, St. Vallier and Desprez; Russia
-Gortschakoof, Schouvaloff and Ou-
briel; Observation-Disclosures, Sadullah
and Mehemet Ali; Germany-Radowitz,
Hohenlohe and Busch; Italy-Corti and
D'Annay. Bismark is President, and Bis
mark, jr., and De Mony are the Secreta-
ries of the Congress. The session was
progressing satisfactorily until Beacons-
field and Gortschakoof disagreed about
the removal of the English and Russian
forces from around Constantinople by
Gortschakoof refusing to consent to a
withdrawal. This caused an adjourn
ment of the conference for the day, and
was arranged so that the business pro-
ceeds. It is believed that England and
Russia have already agreed upon terms
of settlement, and that Austria is now
the power to be pacifed. The prospects
of peace are very bright, and though the
Congress may last for several weeks, yet
the crisis is undoubtedly over, and war
in Europe has been ayerted. When the
San Stefano treaty was submitted to the
Congress, peace was almost certainly as
sured.

The voters of Oregon are hard-head-
ed set of fellows. They do not take
kindly to the prediction Of "Mexicaniza-
tion," nor are they afraid of terrible
tragedy" In fact, they voted square out
with the so-called "Mexicans" on ma
tional issues. The State ticket was con-
trolled by local issues, and neither party
cares about its complexion, but the Leg
islature and Congress was the point of
National interest. The Democrats, as
heretofore stated, carried both, and there
fore we advise Messrs. Hale, Key and
Stephens to get up something more than
the cry of Discrimination" if they ex-
pect to destroy the Democratic party.
Those Oregon men are just simple and
honest enough to believe that fraud
ought to be exposed, and hence they
voted for the party that was willingto
expose it. The outlook for the Repub-
licans IS still very blue. Ii their silly
TRADE against the Potter investigation
could have helped them anywhere,
Oregon was the place. 1t was just stated
in time to affect the election there, and
the Democrats did not have time to con-
vince the people by their acts that there
was no intention of revolution on their
part before it came of. The investiga.
ton had not gone far enough to expose
the Presidential fraud fully, and the Re-
publicans had the most favorable oppor.
tunity to make capital of their move, but
it availed them nothing. The result in
Oregon puts quietus on this little dodge
of the politicians, and shows that the
people of the country have made up theil
minds to effect the change of administra
ton in the next election, which they de-
clared for last time, but were cheated
out of it by Radical fraud.

TIDINGS OF THE AZOR!
Her Quick Voyage and Safe Arrival at
Sierra Leone.
By Cable to the Neus and Courier


SIERRA LEONE, WEST COAST OF
AFRICA, May l9, via Madeira, Saturday,
June 15.-The Azor arrived here to-day.
For too many Of the hopeful immigrants
who sailed from Charleston on Easter
Sunday, the voyage has been disastrous.
Indeed, at one time there was reason to
fear that the Azor would be nothing less
than floating charnel-house.
The first days of the voyage were
wholly uneventful. Capt. Holmes or.
ganized police force, and required every
part of the vessel to be kept clean.
There was no grumbling at this. The
submission and docility Of the emigrant.
cannot be too highly praised. Soon,
however, the need of an experienced
physician began to be felt. Even before
the Azor sailed, measles had made its
appearance, and this malady spread
rapidly. This was not so bad, however,
as the ship fever, caused by the close con-
fnement between decks, the scanty ac-
commodation and, above all, by the want
of water. The sufferings of the inmi.
grants we're intense. They had not been
accustomed to practice self.denial, and
soon exhausted the limited daily supply
of water. There was great waste despite
the efforts of the officers. The fever
spread rapidly, and before we reached
this point, which is a colonial settlement
on the West Coast, belonging to Great
Britain, twenty-three of our ill-fated em-
| igrants had died. 1 have never seen
sadder sight than when their remains
were committed to the deep. The names
of the dead will 60 to you by the first
mail steamer that touches at this place.
This dispatch l forward by way of the
Island of Madeira, from which point it
will be sent to you by ocean cable.
My own health is good. Capt. Holmes
has been unremitting in his attention to
the Immigrants. I cannot praise his
vigilance, thoughtfulness and judgment
too warmly. Despite the loss of life the
Immigrants are in good spirits, and filled
with joy at the prospect of soon reaching
their destination.

The Me,cs and Courier says: els it not
unxise to attempt to p1t Mr.. Stephens
down in this fashion, considering that he
was a conspicuous politician when most
of his present censors we're in their
cradle.n That is where the trouble
comes in. Mr.. Stephens has outlived
his usefulness, and reached his second
childhood, as ninety-nine hundredths OF
the Democratic papers of the United
States believe. It is time for him and
his friend Gen. Grant to retire from
American politics for the good of their
country.

OUR NATIONAL FINANCES.

The Senate amended the House bill to
repeal the act requiring the resumption
of specie payments on and after the first
day of January, 1879, by substituting for
the repeating act an act leaving the first
day of January next as the date for the
resumption of specie payments, and pro-
viding that all custom dues of the gov
ernment can be paid in greenbacks, and
that the new 4 per cent. government
bonds shall be sold for greenbacks. This
has been concurred in by the House, and
if approved by the President will become
law. If, however, it is vetoed, the meas
ure will fail, although a two-thirds vote
could be commanded for it if the day of
adjournment were not so close Mt hand.
1t is to be hoped the President will ap-
prove this bill, for by doing so he will
settle, we hope, permanently the fnan-
cial issues which have been disturbing
the country. The effect of it will be to
allow creditors to demand payment in
specie, but at the same time to make
greenbacks as good as specie, SO that the
debtor can convert one into the other
without serious loss. The trouble with
our finances heretofore has been that
under Republican ring-rule the govern
ment has discredited its own currency by
refusing to take it for its bonds or for its
taxes, and the consequence has been to
make a difference between greenbacks
and specie. Then by retiring silver by
refusing to coin it, the difference between
paper and gold was made still greater.
The last act attempted by the ring capi-
talists was to force the resumption of
specie payments after this year, and if
their schemes had been effectuated three
fourths of the people of this government
would have been ruined or seriously Grip
pied in their finances. The South and
West would have been the sufferers by
it, but as the matter now stands the evil
has been averted, and the monetary mat
ters of the nation, if let alone, will speed
lily regulate themselves without injury to
any class of our citizens.

The Committee on Naval Affairs in
the House of Representatives has COM
pleted its investigation of the Naval De-
partment of the government, and as the
result of frauds unearthed, has adopted
q resolution looking TO the trial and pun
ishment of ex-Secretary of the Navy
Robeson, and of Wood, Hanscome snd
Watmough, late chiefs of the bureau of
steam engineering, construction and re-
pair, and provisions and clothing. The
Committee have "Mexicanized" this De-
partment until they find that vast
amounts, which should have gone into
the treasury, have been disposed of in
secret apd improper ways and the pro-
ceeds charged to naval accounts, hence
they propose to iadict the officials who
have thus been shown to be derelict in
the discharge of their public trusts. II
Is more than probable that the charges
long ago made against ex.Secretary
Robeson will now be substantiated, and
thus another Radical sachem will fall
before the insatiate arrow of the Demo-
cratic iMexieans," 1t is getting time
for the Republicans to be tired of this
sort of thing, and we do not blame them
for objecting to Investigations, for If o
few more of their leading statesmen are
investigated. there is grave zeason to fear
that their whole crew viii be shown to
be 8 party of official thieves or corrnp,
tionists.

The River and Harbor Bill has passed
Congress with the appropriation of two
hundred thousand dollars for deepening
Charleston harbor. This will be of i'm
mense advantage to the city, and if the
same liberal policy should be pursued
towards it by the National Government
for three or four years, the port of
Charleston would be equal to any in the
Union for commercial purposes. With a
deep harbor, the prosperity of the city
can easily be secured by the completion
of the Blue Ridge Railroad. Having
gotten the harbor question satisfactorily
arranged, we hope that the influence of
Charleston will be united with the up
country to secure a completion of this
great national highway, connecting the
cotton fields Of the South by direct com.
munication with the granary of the West
by the most direct and central route pos
siDle. This Road would bring Charles
ton closer to the West as a section than
any other seaport, and would render it
the great grain shipping port of America.
1t would also give her the grocery trade
of the greater portion of the West, to-
gether with an immense dry goods and
phosphate trade. Not only would it thus
build up Charleston, but it would de-
velop the resources of our entire State.
1t would give a stimulus to manufactu-
ring, which would be exceedingly profit
able, and would also fill our State with
an energetic and busy population, which
would bring into use the neglected re-
sources of our section Of country. We
are very glad to see this promise of pros
perity to Charleston in the matter of her
harbor, and next wish to see her railroad
connections built up by the completion
of the only projected Road from which
she reasonably expect to derive any con-
siderable increase in her trade and busi-
ness Importance.

The Charlotte Observer says it is un-
derstood that startling developments are
soon to be made showing that two OF
three thousand votes were substituted for
Hayes instead of the same number which
were actually cast for Hlden in South
Carolina, and that by this means our
State was carried for the Republican
presidential ticket. Such developments
will indeed be startling, but no person
acquainted with the rascalities of South
Caroline radicals will be very much sur
prised at any infamy that may be proved
on them.

The Grand Jury of Charleston, in its
final presentment at the recent term of
Court there, paid Judge Maekey the fol-
lowing compliment: ''The Grand Jury
congratulate your Honor upon returning
to your native place, that you come
clothed with judicial honors, which You
hare so worthily won, and gracefully
worn, and most heartily do they endorse
the sentiment of your Honor in causing
to be removed from the scenes of the
courtroom the prisoners dock, Fully
agreeing with your Honor that the badge
of guilt should not be placed upon any
person until he has been found guilty by
a jury of his countrymen. Returning our
thanks to your Honor for the courtesies
.you have shown to US individually and
as body, We tender them, our last, but
not least official duty at this term.

Senator Davis, of West Virginia, has
been urging the Senate for years to in
vestigate the Treasury Department of
the Government, but, as that body is
Republican, no disposition has been
shown to enter into the investigation.
He has all along expressed the belief
that the books of this Department are
made to balance by forged entries. And
now the Baltimore Gazette says that after
such examination as he has been able to
give it in the face of the obstacles thrown
in his way by the Senate and by the De-
partment, Senator Davis, upon his own
authority, expresses the belief that there
is deficit of the enormous sum of $780,
100000, and perhaps more. This is an
enormous sum to have been abstracted
from the National Treasury, and such
a statement coming from q member of
the Senate Finance Committee ought to
secure an immediate investigation. If
there is any basis for the accusation, the
people Of the United States can easily
perceive how the Republican officials Of
the Government have grown so wealthy
and prosperous on the salaries that the
purest and best public servants before
the war found only enough to live upon.
We can also readily see where the i'm
mense campaign funds which the Repub-
licans have always used so lavishly came
from. 1t is the most important matter
that could possibly command the atten-
ton of Congress, and if the Senate does
not undertake the examination into the
Treasury Department, the House of Rep
resentatives ought, and no doubt will do
so, at its next session, but as the Senate
will be Democratic after the 4th Of next
March, the probability is that a joint
committee will be charged with the busi-
ness, and, if so, the Treasury Department
will be thoroughly "Mexicanized," and
the sins of its various secretaries aud
chiefs laid bare to the eyes of an indig-
nant people. The only regret is that, as
Congress has adjourned, the work cannot
bo done in time to help us in the fall
elections. twill come in fenely though
for the Presidential campaign of 1880,
and especially so if Grant should be the
Republican candidate for President, as
most of the defalcations, if there have
been any, occurred during his term.

1t now turns ont that when President
Hayes offered james E. Anderson, the
Louisiana man who was promised q po-
sition if he would suppress evidence
showing that the Democrats carried that
state in theila election, the Consulate
st Funchal, he credited tho appointment
to Ohio. This was evidently done to
hide from the country the fact that he
was appointing to Office these Louisiana

which he was placed in oficel

The st. Louis Globe Democrat, Repub-
lican, says: "Ben Hill was right in say
ing that General Grant never would and
never will retire. His advance on the
White House in 1880 will be the most
victorious of all his marches" We have
yet to learn of any very victorious
marches made by the great American
smoker. AS far as we have been able to
gather, he had peculiar felicity in being
defeated, even when he had from three
to ten times as many men as the oppos-
ing army, land his victories were only
achieved by the mere force of attrition,
ending at Appomattox, where he had

Senator Stanley Matthews refuses to
obey the subpoena of the Potter Inyesti-
eating Committee, and gives as his ex-
cuse that he is 8 member of the Senate.
Kellogg was also invited to appear, and
did so Immediately, giving his testimony
as any other witness. The committee
have decided not to make any issue with
Mr.. Matthews, inasmuch as BIS refusal
to appear will be taken by the country
as virtual admission of his guilt. Any
report the Senate committee may make
concerning him cannot remove the i'm
preston that he is afraid of an examina-
ton about his part in the presidential
bargaining with reference to Louisiana's
vote.

The Judiciary Committee of the House
of Representatives reported a resolution
upon The bill to carry into effect the me-
mortal of the Maryland Legislature ask
ing that the Attorney General be in
structed to institute proceedings to test
the title of President Hayes, holding
that the presidential title was determined
by the last Congress, and cannot be
called into question by any subsequent
Congress. The resolution was adopted
almost unanimously. Hence Mr.. Hayes
may possess his soul in peace as to his
enjoyment Of the White House during
the remainder of the presidential term,
unless the Potter Committee proves his
completely il the election fraud, and in
that event he may be impeached.
