"Because he is displeased.
"Oh no. The fact is, he feels as If n
great load had been taken from him"
"ln what respect?"
"Well, he was ready to swear. at the
time of the trial, if you remember, that
Mrs. Tilton had confessed to HIM, He
did not, because be was not called upon
to do so. But his statement and her
subsequent denial placed him in an un-
pleasant position. Now this last con,
fessl on Sets him right"

FROM WASHINGTON.
The Proposed Reorganization
of the Navy.

THE NAVY.
WASHINGTON, April 15.-In the last
Congress a bill was introduced Provid-
ing for a thorough and complete reor-
ganization of the navy. This bill has
been brought forward again in the pres
ent Congress by Representative Harris,
of Massachusetts, and has received .
very full and complete consideration BY
the House committee on naval agairs.
srHE LOUISIANA AsPIRANTs.
The President has informed Senator
kellogg that he is not disposed TO send
in the name of Mr.. Packard Tor collector
at the port Of New Orleans. Well-in-
formed Louisiana politicians think tho
next name sent In will be that of ex-
Representative Smith, OF Louisiana.
Gen. Geo. A Sheridan is pressed upon
the President for recorder ofdeeds OF the
District of Columbia.
MR.. LOGAN ON THE wAR-PATH.
lish tomorrow an open letter to Senator
Sargent animadvertlng on the substitute
of the Senator for the bill TO appoint Gen
James Shields to the retired list. The
substitute includes many who served
their country, he says, and among them
he finds his own name. He sees no rea-
son for the insertion Of his name, for he
is neither old, decrepid or a pensioner,
and he can see no other use for the sub
stitute but to defeat the bill by making
use of soldiers names not asking such
benefits. He pays high compliment to
Gen. Shields as deserving and gallant
officer.
THE NEW ORLEANS CUsToM-HoUsE.
WIN. II. Hunt, of New Orleans, in re-
ply TO a telegram from the President

is said to have been so far perfected that
fuel gas made by the decomposition OF
water is likely to be introduced into
Swedish Iron furnaces to take the place
of imported coal. The Swedes have an
abundant supply of peat which can be
used in the manufacture of the gas, and
made to yield pure and efficient fuel
for making iron and steal. In this
country water gas is now undergoing the
sQuarest test TO which it has yet been
subjected, at Baltimore where new works
with new mains and service pipes are
being used in its manufacture and dis
tribution for actual use on large scale.

HOW IT is OBSERVED IN Ihh 'AihN
CHURCHES IN THIS CITY.
The Catholics and Episcopalians OF
Wilmington observe with great solemni-
ty the season of Holy Week. The ser

FROM ALL PARTS OF THE

ON THE EVE OF WAR.
A GATHERING STORM THAT HOURLY BK-
CoMAs MORE THREATENING.

A GATHERING STORM THAT HOURLY Bk-
CoMAs MORE THREATENING.
LONDON, April II, 1878.
The situation has again grown gloomy,
as has often been the case before. This
time, apparantly, scarcely ray OF hope
remains, Ali the London morning jour
mails agree as to the gravity Of the situa-
ton. The Standards Berlin correspon-
dent says that England and Russia are as
far as ever from an understanding. The
Daily Ne,cs Berlin kilograms confirm this
view and their anthor regards the situa-
ton as extremely serious. He declares
that the English Cabinet stands alsne-
utterly isolated.
DRIFTING TO WAR
The correspondent of The Daily Ne,os
at San Stefano tolegraphs that the situa-
tion is strained to the utmost. The
Grand Duke Nicholas is depressed and
gloomy. The correspondent says:-"The
first gun may be fired at any moment.
The two great Powers are only too sure
ly drifting into war;"
TERRIBLE TIMES AHEAD.
The Journal des Debdts of Paris
says:-"IJ Is useless to indulge any
illusions respecting the gravity OF the
present state of affairs. We are, perhaps
on the eve of great war aud amid a
movement SO violent that it threatens TO
carry everything before it. Germany
is the only State sufficiently powerful TO
arrest the headlong course OF events and
magnanimus enough to oblige. If it per-
mits war, it will have failed in the duty
imposed upon it by its military and dip
lomatic power" From the above you
will perceive the justification for the
pessimisL view now prevailing.
HOW RUSSIA WILL ACT.
In the event of war Russian action
will be governed by Austria's attitude.
If Austria is neutral the Russians will
undoubtedly seize the Bosphorus. 1t
Austria should prove 10 be hostile 1t is
doubtful whether the Russians will try
to hold the Bosphorus or anything
south of Adrianopbe they will, perhaps,
even abandon Turkey entirely, except
the fortresses, and attack Austria from
Galica, Roumania and Bosnia.
THE TURKISH STRENGTH.
Constantinople advices say that the
Turks have 10000 men around the city
and 1900 at Galhpoli, and would resent
an attempt to enter the capital. But the
attitude of the government is expectant
and the present disposition is to abide
by the Treaty Of San Stefano and 90
serve neutrality, defending it if men,
aced.
