PARIS, Jan. 5-The Repu6ttque Fran
case, Gambetta's organ, calls on the
government to remove the present COM
manders of several army corps. Most
of these generals are Bonapartists, and
none republicans.
LONDON, Jan. "a dispatch from
Constantinorle states if Russia respects
mediation, Turkey will await the meet
ing of the British Parliament before
making direct overtures to Russia.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. A private
dispatch received here announces that
ouly 10000 Turks retired in Roumelia.
The remainder of the Ottoman forces,
numbering 10000, remaining north of
the Balkans, are distributed among the
forces Of the quadrilateral.
Osman Pssha will shortly be con-
veyed to the town of Riacan, where he
will pass his captivity.
The Journal lie st. Petersburg Gays
Russia could not, in the interest of
peace, itself do otherwise than refuse
al! Intervention and make it clearly
understood that peace must be discussed
between the belligerents. Any injury
by Russia To the Suez canal is quite out
of the question. and if peace negotia-
tons were opened now. Russian occupa-
ton OF Constantinople would be equal
ly out of the question. If there are
any other points upon which British
interests might be effected, they must
be Of minor Importance. and a frank,
loyal explanation between the Russian
and English governments would lead to
an understanding CD the subject witbou,
iuterrupting negotiations.
LONDON. Jan. j-There is talk in
some quarters of the dissolution in con-
sequence of the hopeless division in the
cabinet. The anti-war agitation is on
the increase throughout the country,
but seems confined pretty closely with
in party lines.
NEW YORK, Jan. 5-Louis Z. Do
rion, city treasurer Of Quebec, is said to
be defaulter to the amount of about
100000.
CHICAGO, Jan. 5-The Tim. $ London
says that from the news this morning
thoughts of peace have disappeared,
and the disruption Of the cabinet is i'm
minent. From the tone of these arti-
cles and other facts and rVmoIs it is
evident that a crisis in the English sit
nation has arrived.
BUCHAREST. Jan. THE army which
Was to cross Shipka Pass and co-ope-
rate with Gen. Gourko in the movement
against Adrianople. gives no signs of
activity. and while the present weather
continues such operations would be i'm
possible. The deep snow offers an al
most insurmountable obstacle to wag-
ons. and the Russians have no sledges.
An order has been issued for supply of
sledges. but by the time they are ready
the snow will probably have disap-
peared and the roads be impossible
from mud and water. 1t is improbable
the Russians can reach Andrianople be-
fore May next.

WE confess that we are a little
surprised that a political meeting
should make an expected decision
Of . court of Justice the subject
matter of resolutions. Some time
ago we suggested that the city OF
Los Angeles would do we'll to pur-
chase the Los Feliz ranch and thus
put beyond peradventure any In
reference by the possessor of i'm
portant riparian rights with the
oity's control OF the waters of the
Los Angeles river. We are moi
specially wedded to our idea, and
we freely concede the right of oui
people to do in the matter as may
seem to them best. IN no event
would we wish to see this ranch, OF
any other, purchased WITHOUT sub
mitting the matter to vote OF the
citizens. At the moderate price al
which the ranch could be pur.
chased now we would regard it as
an eligible investment even from 0
speculative standpoint. After ma
turing a splendid and expensive
system of water improvement, W.
supposed that our people would b'
anxious to control absolutely al
sources of our water supply.

THE following note from the
Alta outlines pretty thoroughly the
a5surdity of those who suppose
that the Tammany defeat in New
York city is Democratic reverse.
The Alta says:
1t is amusing to read r reported
interview with Kearney, in which
he says he defeated TammaDy
in New York-that he advised the
"bone and sinew" to unite against
Tilden and Schell, and all the
blood sucking politicians and lech-
erous office holders. Considering
that Sly Sammy was up to his
neck in the anti-Tammany fight,
and won all the municipal offices
in New York, com mencing with his
intimate friend Cooper, for Mayor,
the advice of Dennis was very
vague, aud his claim to the credit
Of defeating Tammany will have to
be put on the shelf with his threat
to make Beacon street AMI the
Back Bay of Boston run with the
blue blood Of the aristocracy in the
event of the defeat of Butler. N.
B.-No gore flowing through Bea.
con street yet, and Ben Butler is
willing to admit that he has been
badly defeated.

Russian newspapers relate some
romantic attachments which have
sprung up between Turkish prison
ers of war and Russian ladies OF
various ages in the towns where
the former have been detained,
leading in some cases to somewhat t
sensational and rather inconven-
lent scenes upon the departure Of
the Turks. At Charkof a Russian
girl, dressed up as Turk, took her
place among the returning Mos.
lens. She was detected on num-
bering the persons conveyed In the
car. At Poltava a young lady of
position and education insisted on
accompanying a Turkish officer, to
whom she earnestly desired to be
married. At the same place the
departure of one train of liberated
prisoners led to q regular scene,
necessitating the interference of
the police and calling for orders
which have since been given to pre-
vent similar occurrences In the fu-
ture. A crowd of ladies, young and
old, some only schoolgirls, assem-
bier on the platform and took
leave of the departing Turks In the
most pathetic and demonstrative
ways. All embraced, all kissed,
some burst into tears, others faint
ed away. All this was done in pub
lie. The schoolgirls taking part
In the display have 81 nee been ex-
PEELED from their schools.

WE are advised from q well in
formed source that the movement
In the Constitutional Convention
to confine the sessions of the Su
preme Court to Sacramento will be
defeated, whether the new Consti'
tuition be defeated or no. We are
little surprised at the attitude OF
Mr.. Byron Waters, of San Bernar-
dino, in this matter. This gentle.
man, expanded by several Mephis-
tophelean compliments of the San
Francisco Chronicle, seems to be
afflicted with a disease which is
known amongst sphysicians as
capitis elephantiasis, or, in the vul-
gar vernscular, big or swelled
head. He may find, before he is
through with his political expert
ences, that a decent identity with
his section helps, instead of him
dering, = man who has political
ambition.

We arc half inclined TO think,
from the tenor of late election dis.
patches, that the passage OF Scrip
ture which recounts the coming
down Of Zschsus and the profane
parable of Col. Scotts coon will
apply to our estimate of the next
House Of Representatives. We
are further tempted to believe that
We will have to increase the Re.
publican members half dozen on
cur maximum estimate of their
strength on the roll-call, which
WAS one hundred aud twenty. five.
Ono thing Is assured, however, and
that is that the Democratic party
VIII have an absblute majority
over ali aud thatOur plurality over
the Republicans in the next House
~Qt representative will be consider
ably more than our majority was
In the last House. There are some
things, though, which sadly need
straightenlng out. Amongst them

next House. We sea too many
O'Briens, O'RsiIlys and Bourkes
In the New York sum mary of Con-
gressmen to believe in their twenty
hve members from that State. In
the second place we think the de-
tailed 6gures of the Congressional
elections In Pennsylvania will show
different result for the Republi-
cans to that telegraphed. The
fact remains, and it is the mate
rial one, that tho Democrats,
In and after the 4th of March
next, will have both branches of
Congress, and the Republicans will
only have Hayes--a helpless pub
lic functionary with whom not one
out Of sen OF the thorough-going
members Of that party sympathize.
The Republicans, in view of the
outcome Of y most complicated
election, may wellexclaim, "a miss

have permanent effect. After death
there was an examination made,
in which well.known Cincinnati
physicians took part, and which
resulted in the unanimous decision
that death was caused, primarily,
by the use, for q long period, of
chemical compounds for dyeing the
hair. There is said to have
been coating formed over
the brain, causing some-
thing like paralysis of that organ.
The case Is regarded as an exceed.

FiIIal Affection in Japan.

Writing from Japan, the late
Bishop K. M. Marvin thus pictured
the filial affection of the Japanese:
"There are some beautiful traits of
domestic life here. FiIial duty is
said to be almost universal, and the
authority of parents is held sacred.
Especially is the mother held in
the highest vsneration. and son
is never 80 old us TO feel himself
free from her authority. Mar.
