Blaine asked II there was not lla-
bility for the bonds 90 purchased % DO

would not DO better 10 pay 10 amounts
and credit on the books at once, The

Mr.. Sargent referred to, the great
magnitude and difficulty OF the task in

out the extra Inducements Of 1884, and
be did not think Il was fair or lawful,

Cemetery Of Confederate Dead.
LEEsBuRo, Va, March 20, 1878.

GEN. NAT. II. HARRIs-Dear Sir:
We have recently erected q monument
10 the memory Of the Confederate
dead who lie buried in our Cemetery
the msjority oil whom were from your
State, killed at battle OF BGlls Bluff.
On one side the inscription enume-
rates the regiments 10 which they be.
longed, and amongst them are named
The 18Th, l7th, lS:h, and 2lst regiments
Mississippi volunteers. We still owe
some 1900 or s400 on the monument,
and we are exceedingly anxious 10 pay
it before our Spring Decoration day.
If you, or any OF the friends Of those
who are buried here, will be kind
enough TO aid us, your contributions
will be most gratefully appreciated.
Will you please pass the subject
around. | have the pleasure Of know
ing Col Hooker, Of your State, right
well, through whom l got your ad-
dress. Yours truly, J. W. Foster,
President Memorial Association.
We gladly publish the above letter
In our columns, and will undertake to
forward promptly to Mr., Foster, Presi-
dent of the Association at Leesburg, all
funds left with US for that purpose. Az
the regiments spoken of were raised in
different portionsof the State, we hope
our State exchanges will copy this
that all who wish to contribute may
know how they eau do so.

Russia Wants an Alliance with
UAcIe sam-The Next PEesI-
dency, Etc.
Special to the N. D. TimSs.l
WAsHiSGToN, March 81, 1873.
The intimAiions conveyed in these
dispatches lhH; Russia was desirous OF
making an slliance of some character
with the United States, 10 entirely
proven by some late events. The Inn
periAl government at 81. Petersburg
has given Mr.. StoughtOn, the Ameri-
can minister, semi. official hints to this
effect, which have been formally sent
to Mr.. EvartS, and by him placed be-
fore the President.
The plan has lie attractions for the
Government. It is thOugbtthat such
an alliance, which might be 9 menace
to the British toot-hold on this cOnti-
nent, would meet with such favor from
the mass Of Irish voters in the great
cities, that they could be induced to
side with the Administration. The
country may be very certain that
Russia will use the extreme Of diplomat
ic power and ability TO induce an al
lance with the great empire OF the
West.
II is conceded here among the
shrewdest diplomats that England is
| In a curious fix. Russian diplomacy
has so thorough a control Of Turkey,
that the latter power has substantially y
notified England that her assistance is
not required. Downing street has re.
ceived an unmistaksbie snub. II Eng
land insists upon protecting Turkey
uow, when that power has substantial
" made peace with Russia, and dou't
want England's advice, why England
submits herself to the ridicule OF the
European cabinets. II England threatenl
the integrity OF Turkey, and RusslI
turns in to maintain It, then indeed
would the tables be neatly turned.
The situation on the other eide 10 very
interesting to the foreign ministers
who think England hasbeen but In &C
ridiculous an attitude that fight Il
the only way In which her dignity car
be re.established.
The Hon. ZAchariah Chandler, o.
Michigan, is here. THIS circumstance
in itself is not important, but there ar
things conntced with II that may be
Chandler is The chairman Of the Repub
llcan National Committee, and Is herr
10 the interest of movement which i
seriously contemplated TO try to re
nominate Grant. II is q movement il
favor of the old.fashioned machin,
politicians aud rampant R4dicalism.
The better class Of politicians thlnl

ers that the wound gapes as badly as
ever, and there is terrible soreness, fes.
terlng and corruption. The hope Of
the leaders Of that party that they
could steal the Presidency and then,
somehow or other, regain former vi
tality, has not been realized. BY the
powerful aid OF Mrs. Eliza Pinkston,
Ii, Returning Board, the other
sCoundrels Of Louisiana and Florida,
and the visiting statesmen, Mr.. Hayes
is President, and he is doing as we'll as
could be expected. However, as be is
not able to please the rabid Radicals,
and at the same time 10 satisiy the
moderate wishes OF the vast majority
Of conservative.thinking people OF the
Union, the Radicals are disgruntled, and
the party 10 cleft in twain. A number
OF Radical Senators held o caucus 10
Washington the other day to see what
could be done about II. They decided
that nothing could be done about It,
aud they invited all to look 10 New
Hampshire aud be comfOrted. AS
there was big loss to the Republicans
in that State at the last election, this
must be very cold comfort.
They discussed Old Howe's speech
and although they hate Hayes as much
as Howe possibly caD, they couldn't zee
their way clear to deciding what TO dc
about II. Taking it all in all, we msy
congratulate the country on the facI
that the old wound in the RadicA
party is growing no better fast.

matter Of extreme sollcitude 70 this
country, that the Government TO which
this jurisdiction belongs, should be
so closely pressed by the political out
posts Of Q greatly superior power, that
lie independent action and existence is
almost impossible. Thsse results arise
not 30 much from the language Of any
single article in the treaty, as from the
operation OF the instrument as awhele.

would result from the state o. thlnas
