PEACE PROSPECTS.
WILL BE SUBMITTED TO
THE CONGRESS-.
The Bases OF the Agreement Under Which
the Arrangements Were Completed.

LONDON, May 28.-The most trustworthy
information that we can obtain concerning
Schouvaloff and Lord Salisbury, Is thus
stated: Prince Bismarck has been the peace
MAKER Russia and Austria, through his
means, have arrived at an understanding ;
Russia only wished to ascertain how much Of
what she claimed she would be allowed to
keep, and was always ready to submit the
San Stefano treaty to a congress, but with
the understanding that she should reserve
the right OF refusing to be bound by the de-
cisiOn OF the congress.
Prince Bismarck deemed that it was best to
effect beforehand an understanding as to what
the congress would agree upon, and this has
been now effected. The bases of the agree
ment are the provisions formulated by the
European powers at Constantinople, with
what remains of the treaties of 1856 and 1871 /:
the treaty of San Stefano to be taken as the
measure OF Russia S wishes respecting those
points as to which there is no dispute but no
further; the provisions of that treaty as re-
Spects kOumania to be set aside, although
what is to take their place is not known out
side OF the representatives Of the powers,
who may agree upon the outlines Of a new
treaty. Austria was last to yield, but she is
now satisfied.
The members of the congress, Schouvaloff,
Lyons, Andrassy, Haymerle and Wadding-
ton, it is said, are already agreed, and prac-
ticaily the congress will meet only to give
formal sanction to predetermined resolutions,
The chagrin OF the Gladstonian or Radical
faction in the House of Commons is excessive,
and the scene last night, when Lord Harting-
ton repudiated them and walked out of the
House with the Whig Liberals behind him,
was considered as significant of the total sun
dering of the bonds that had hitherto kept the
two factions of the Opposition together.
The government now have full scope. Their
popularity is unbounded, and the Opposition
can scarcely be said longer to exist. The
leadership Of the Radicals is rejected by Glad
stone. and will probably devolve upon Mr..
Chamberlain

Weed Discerns n Revolution In the Pot.
ter Observation-Disclosures Grant.

New YORK, May 28-A reporter inter-
viewed Mr.. Thurlow, Weed on the subject of the
Potter resolution and Gen. Grants chances
for the next Presidency The veteran pol
itician was somewhat cautious about giving
his views, but he took very wide range of
the questions.
He regards the Potter resolution as great
misfortune. as it may lead to revolution and
anarchy in it's worst form. He said the char
acter of Potter, which was well known for
probity, would add strength to the resolution
and make the consequences all more danger
Gus. The country was not in condition to
bear anything that savored of revolutionary
excitement and the Comm unistic and labor
elements were ready at moments notice to
take advantage ofanything that favored their
cause. 1t would be very easy at the present
time to light the torch Of revolution. The pa
tience of the working classes had been severe
ly tried. In fact, their feelings of forbearance
had been strained to their utmost tension, and
many ,workingmen were unable to earn the
necessaries of life.
Mr.. Weed believed that in case OF an emer-
gency the first choice Of owners and capital
lists for trades would be Grant, but as to his
chances for a third election, that would be
very difficult to answer. Weed would not be
surprised if Tilden was inspiring the Potter
movement. He said he had never seen any
man who had got the Presidency on the brain
who was able to relinquish the idea.

Arrival of MOllie Mccarthy For Her Race
With Ten Brock.

CINcINNAT1 May 28.-The great California
race mare Mollie Mccarthy, will arrive in
Louisville this morning from Chicago, where
ConIey, of New York, who got up the match
between Mollie Mccarthy and Ten Brock,
reached here yesterday. He says in regard
to the challenge from Mr.. Jerome to run
Barricade against Mollie next October, that
Mr. Winters, the owner Of the horse, will pay
no attention to any challenge until after the
race with Ten Brock. Should she then be in
proper condition he will offer to run her
against any horse in the world, the distance
ito be four miles and repeat
Mr.. Conley also denies the statement that
Bud Doble has control of the mare; on the
contrary, Doble was merely employed to
bring her here and place her In the hands Of
the trainer.
Mr. Harper has decided not to take Ten
Brock to st. Louis. He was advised by the
most prominent turfmen of this and other
States not to do so.

CO-EducatiOn of White and COI0red Chill
dren In New York.

New YORK, May 2s.-The question of abol-
ishing colored schools In the city of New York
and throwing the doors Of all public schools
open to the colored children, which is now
agitating the minds Of those in charge Of edu-
cational matters, has caused considerable feel
ing among the colored population in New
York, as well as among those white citizens
whose old time prejudices are not easily ef-
faced: The question was sprung upon the
board at its last meeting, when Commissioner
Strand made a sweeping proposition to do
away with the colored schools and mix the
children OF colored with those Of white par
ents in the educational establishments Of this
city
The proposition which, it is believed, was
the result of considerable deli5eraton on the
part of several commissioners, was referred
at once to the committee on colored schools
for investigation and report, but pending
their action the subject has led to the express
sion of many views, on the part OF those par
ticularly effected by the proposed action.
Board Superintendent Kiddle says that the
idea is the correct one, in the abstract, at
least. 1t may not be right to agree all at
once to every part of the proposition, but it
is in accordance with law.

WASHINGTON, May 28.-The removal OF
Lacey having been determined on some time
since, Hayes is greatly concerned to know
whom to appoint In his place. Albert Leon
ard is generally considered as leading in the
race for the district attorneyship, though
some of Sheldon's friends here profess to
have hopes for him.
Some say now that Sherman & Co. are to
be investigated, it is possible that John Ray,
ex-attorney for the Returning Board, may
have to be kept quiet by giving the district
attorneyship to him, as it is well known that
he possesses the knowledge of the true in

any rate, Lacey is bound to go, and that very
soon. BUELL..

THE EARLY ADJOURNMENT QUEs-
THON PRACTICALLY sETTLED-AN
ALL SUMMER SESSION PROBABLE.
At Least Thirty Days Required to Dispose
of Necessary BiiIs-NO Hope for tho
Levee Appropriation Save In a Pro-
tracted Session,
Especial to the Democrat


WASHINGTON, May 28.- The Democratic
caucus to-day decided to postpone the consid-
GRAFTON of the Senate adjournment resolution
until June 8. This practically defeats the
Senate resolution and leaves the adjournm ent
an open question, to be settled by future
events. My own impression is that the ses-
sion will be prolonged till the middle of July
or first Of August.
In caucus to-day Atkins, chairman of the
appropriations Committee made statement
as to the condition Of public business, which
left no doubt on the minds of members that it
would require thirty days active Legislation
to dispose of the bills necessary for the run
ming OF the government, without making al
lowance for long debates or dlatory tactics.
The advocates of the levee appropriation
have no hope, except in a protracted ses-
sion, for they would certainly be shelved in
the hurry and confusion of the legislative
rush, such as always happens when day
near at hand is fixed for adjournment With
fair chance, after the army bill is disposed
of, the levee BILL as amended by Robertson. can
get through.
Mr.. Potter thinks his COMMITTEES can COM
plete the bulk of it's labors in about thirty
days, but of course that Is little better than
conjecture. The sum total of indications
points to an all summer session, with possibly
q brief recess about the middle Of July.

New York Banks Declfni Ing to Discount
Notes Of sugar Refners.

NEW YORK, May 28.-There is much feeling
in the sugar trade over the recent decision Of
some banks to decline to discount the notes of
sugar refiners. The president of well
known bank stated to a reporter that it had
been apparent for some time that sugar re-
fining was not profitable. His bank had de-
clined single name sugar paper because it
capital in business that required the ex-
haustion OF it's capital to sustain it. He
claimed that the retiners are losing from one
to two cents a pound on every barrel of sugar
manufactured. A few days ago his bank
declined two notes of sugar party for S25, 900
each. which were subsequently, discounted
on Wall street at Al per cent.

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Hon. A. III. Stephens
lis busly engaged tonight preparing speech
'in reply to Mr.. Potter, which he proposes to
deliver In the House tomorrow In lieu OF
personal answer to many letters received
from friends In the South, disclaiming sym
pathy with any effort to unseat President
Hayes.

Key has to question the title OF any victorious
contestant to his seat In this body.
The Forty-sixth Congress will have no more
right to ignore him and TO recognize the de-
feated contestant, Mr. Tilden, than Mr.. Hayes
would have to send file OF soldiers to the
House OF Representatives to unseat a Demo
crat whom he might consider to have been
wrongfully seated Or fraudulently elected.
The leaders in this desperate attempt to
Mexicani1e our institutions rely confidently
upon q solid South to furnish the bulk OF the
Democratic majority In the next House OF
Representatives, the Senate being already Sc
cured
Remembering the encouragement which
the Northern Democrats In 1860 and 1861 ex-
tended to the Southern States to seeede, and
the manner in which their promises Of aid
and comfort were fulfilled, can the Southern
people afford to join this revolutionary move

evitable hour OF peril comes, they will again
be left unassisted and alone to meet the storm

was forced by public opinion upon an unwill-
ing Congress In the dark days OF February,
1872
When civil war over the disputed election
was imminent and patriots trembled for the
safety of Republican institutions, the Soath-
ern members of Congress avoided the danger,
by compelling the completion of the electoral
count under the law which both parties In
Congress had enacted. But now the repre-
sentatives from the Southern States, with a
very few exceptions, have joined movement
to subvert the results of their former Patri-
otic action, and to remand the country to that
anarchy from which, less than two years ago,
1t was sayed by their efforts.
