An English View Of 1t.

London, May 6.-The political situa-
tion is unchanged and negotiations be-
tween st. Petersburg and London con-
tinue une ventful.
A Cvnstantinople correspondent says
another palace revolution is threaten
ing. 1t is difficult to say what would
be the attitude of the Russians in case
of revolution, but there is great dan
ger that the English and Russian troops
would come into collision in such an
event. The English influence is be-
lieved to be uppermost. In the coun-
ellis of the Sultan a majority of the
Pashas and all late ministers are
against the Sultan and the people are
discOntented. There has been violent
speeches against the tax on bread,
which is now at a famine price. The
Pashas are all ready to fly at each others
throats; O5man Pasha is cursed on all
sides by the other Pashas as fool and
traitor. Without English or Russian
support the Sultan could not remain on
the throne single day. The cores
pondent further says, have just heard
that the Porte has sent note to the
Powers maintaining that it cannot
evacuate Shumla, Varna and Batoum,
until the Russians retire, and according
to the treaty of San Stefano, at the
surrender of Adrianople, the Russians
claim, they cannot withdraw until the
Turks evacuate the fortress.
The coming week will be busy one
at the English arsenals and dock yards,
and ship owners who hitherto have
been privileged to berth their vessels in
proximity to the admiralty moorings,
opposite the victualing yard, have re-
ceived notice to remove them to-day,
rs all the available reom is to be re-
served for transports.

New York, May 6.-The annual con-
vention of the American Labor Reform
League commenced to-day. E. II.
Haywood, President, made the opening
address, saying that the League seeks
the liberty to assert the natural rights
of all people to do their best at their
own risk, and to repeal all laws recog-
nizing property, and to abolish all mon
opolies which give property special ad-
vantages against labor. At the after
noon session, Mr.. Haywood made an
address on labor, greenbacks and free
lsve questions. George W. Meddox
said New York should issue its own
money, builds markets, docks, and 9TH
er improvements, and hoped "by the
eternal" that the people would starve
in order to awake them to these facts.
He said if these things could not be got
by the ballot-box, then he favored get
ting them by the cartridge-box.

CONGRESSIONAL.
SENATE:

Washington, May 6.-The President
pro TEN. laid before the Senate the
House bill to forbid further retirement
of U. 5. legal tender notes, which was
read the first time by title, that it
might be referred to the committee on
Finance, in accordance with the Gus
tom. Cockrell objected to its refer
ence, and moved that the bill be read
the second time. His object was to
have the bill passed without reference,
but Morrill, objected to the second read
ing Of the bill, and it was laid over.
Allison reported the Indian appro-
priation bill, with amendments. Both
placed on calander. The Senate then
took up the bill to repeal the bankrupt
law, reported from the Judiciary COM
mittee, with amendments, on Thurs
day last. Beck submitted an amend
ment to strike out January 1st, 1879,
as the time when the repeal of the law
should take effect, and insert in lieu
thereof an amendment to repeal the
law from the date of its passage.

SEVERAL Democratic papers, fearing
trouble in the next Democratic conven-

Cincinnati Enquirer, which would have

at some place in telegraphic communi-

WASHINGTON.
A Congressional Outlook.

Washington, May 6.-Owing to the
forwardness of appropriation bills, it is
thought by number of members of
Congress that an adjournment sine die
can take place toward the last of June.
They do not suppose the discussion of
the tariff bill will occupy more than
week, and say that ample time will be
afforded for the consideration of the
Pacific railroad bills and other promi-
neht public measures. Strenuous efforts
will be made this week to either lay the
tariff bill on the table or postpone it
until tho next session, which result
would be equivalent to its defeat.
Wood, however, is still sanguine that it
will become law at the present ses-
sion.

A ST. LOUIS paper complacently re-
marks that communism in st. Louis is
not so obstreperously rampant as in
Chicago. This is doubtless true. Moth

pant in st. Louis. Everything there
moves along at decoriously and re-
spectfully moderate pace, from scheme
to extend the trade of the city to fire
company going to confagration.

Democracy is that they have so many

fear that there will be any lack Of

the next two years.

Oregon's Former senators.

The correspondent of the Sacramento
(Cal.) Union at Salem, Oregon, writes as fol
lows of the ex-senatoTs of the latter state:
Joe Lane leads a pastoral life in the bucolic
regions OF Umpqus, and is said to carry his
7S years with undated vigor and newly
aroused ambition. He did not come down
from his aerie until the last note of war had
dissolved in the distance and waited until
almost every rebel was re enfranchised, and
fair sprinkling of them had won a footing
in congress, and then the old man was to be
heard footing his mountain horn for Tilden.
Nesmith lives on grand farm Of 9, 600 acres
of magnificent prairie, surrounded by
wheat stacks and granaries, hocks and
herds and some horses of remarkable
pedigree. very prince among the rursls,
and within little more than an hours drive
of the state capital ready to take hand IN
politics on the slightest prOvocatIon. Ben
jamin Harding reyels in his thousand acres,
and for successive years hid himself away
from his fellow man, and worked his teams
aGeld, or kept up memory of the stirring
days EheD-demOcrat as he was aud is-he
was q war senator in the times that tried
mems souls, and numbered Lincoln among
his friends. Lincoln was glad to number
NesmIth and Harding among his friends,
and that is no small reason for the want of
popularity the two of them enjoy to day at
the hands of their fellow democrats Hard
that are and have been, who live to take part
in the affairs of to day, who is not an aspir.
ant for another term as senator. He is
very genial gentleman, plain and un-
pretending, but social ard clear headed,
who is finally tired of the solitude of the
farm, bis children having grown up to meet
a wider field, and his wife having died some
years ago; so we have HIM back again in
Salem, seated in law office dispensing jus.

Kelly owns tract of land that must be the

home, and practices law there and elsewhere

strength well developed, and is about as
pleasant and genial a man as ever went to

no pastoral proclivities, and makes the most
of civilization wherever he finds it,

THE NATIONAL BANKS AND THE
RADICAL PARTY.

Those who reflect at sll upon such matters
are curious to know why the radical mana
gers, without an exception, are all In favor
of the national bank currency instead Of
greenbacks. 1t is well understood that the
people prefer the greenbacks. They are the
best; besides, they are the cheapest; and be-
ing the best and the cheapest, one would
suppose that a party claiming to be devoted
to the best interests of the people would at
should. be retired, and that greenbacks
should take their place. Instead of this
however, we see that Blaine, ConkliDg,
Schurz and the rest of the radical man.
ayers and conspirators are all
clamOring for the national banks. This is
easily explained. The national banks as a
general thing are radical institutions, and
can be counted upon to fight against the
people. There are more than two thousand
OF these institutions in the country; they
are scattered from the center to the remot-
est outposts of our inland commences; they
act in concert; they control vast amount
of money, and they are so situated that they

money is wanted to control an election, they
have got it; If the screws are to be turned so
as to influence voters they have possession of
the screws; II men are to be corrupted by
money the national banks can promptly fur
nisb all that ia required; hence the radical
managers are unit in their advocacy of the
national bank system. The radical managers
and speakers are continually drawing paral-
lels between the national bank currency and
the old state bank or wildcat currency.
