VS. ask the pardon of our good friends on
Cu.hnoc heights for even intimating that the
greenbsck fallacy movement originated there.
We were informed, and surprised at the
time, knowing as we did the intelligence of the
people on the heights, and that many of them
would not be likely to be led away by such fool
shness. We now find that the movement here
was started by adventuler on Water street,
who has but recently become a voter in Augusta,
and democratic voter at that. He furnished the
book for Signature. to another democrat, living
on the heights, with the request that he should
give it lively circu ion and procure all the
names possible, because he wanted to forward
the canvass on the east side of the river. A GER
tain democratic overseer of the poor has his hand
in it. So it seems this is a cheap democrats
trick to bul-rsg voters under the pTetepse Of
helping the great national party" when it is
really designed to entrap republican voters. Those
republicans whose eye teeth arc cut are not to be
sold so easily or cheaply.

The Eastern Question.
THE MESSAGE THAT SCHOUvA.
LOFT BRINGS.
Ills INTERVIEW WITH SALISBURY
BELIEVED SATISFACTORY.
AUSTRIA'S MILITARY PREPARA.
TIONS.

LONDON, May "a. Schouvsloff's interview
with Salisbury Is believed to be satisfactory, and
Salisbury will probably inform Parliament that
invitations issued by the signstory powers, for
Congress to meet in Baden Baden, to consider
what notifications are necessary to the treaty Of
Paris, so as to render unnecessary the submission
OF the san Stefano treaty by Russia 10 the Con-
gress.
The Post after stating that Schouvaloff brings
assurance that the disposition in st. Petersburg
Tor peace quite equals that in London is also the
bearer OF certain expressions of willingness to
meet English views, and Of general scheme of
arrangement for a reconciliation.
Though Russia declines to eradicate the San
stefano treaty she is prepared to discuss in Con-
gress its previous stipulation, and the Post also
adds
This, to general apprehension, will appear to
amount to reiterstion OF Gortschakoff's circular.
On the other hand it is to be hoped the British
cabinet will stand firmly by the conditions of Sal
sburys despatch
VIENNA, May "a. Notwithstanding the conf
dent expectation OF an early meeting OF Congress,

THE ENGLISH PARLIAMENT.
Further Consideration of HartingtOn's
RESOLUTION.
THE RESOLUTION OVERWHELMINGLY
DEFEATED.

mons last evening, against Hartngtons resou-
ton, that forces be raised or kept by the crown
IN time Of peace, save within India, without the
sanction of Pasliament, was nearly double that
conceded by the opposition, all of whose estimates
placed governments majority about sixty or sew
enty.
The Times says tins was because the debate
brought out clearly the fact that the real issue
WAS the approval or condemnation Of the govern
ment's policy in utilizing Indian troops. Under
that Interpretation the House waited upon it. If
the resolution had been carried 1t would have
been accepted by all the world as vote of cen.
sure.
Questions of the legality aud of the consttu-
tionality of government methods may exercise
Parliament's attention some other time.
The resolution was properly considered in its
bearing the conduct of government at that
great political crisis, and in that light overwhelm
ngy defeated.

The Bannocks Return to their Reserva.
ton.
MESSENGER FROM SITTING BULL.

NEW YORK, May "a. A Fort Ellis, Montana,
letter says the Bannock Indians were persuaded
TO return to their reservation. On arriving there
the chief denounced the Indian agent in the
presence OF Captain Ball and all the officers, and
soldiers and Indians, as liar and thief, and said
that he had half starved the tribe, and had sold
them the supplies which had been sent them by
government tor distribution.
The settlers in the vicinity verified the state
ments made by the Bannock chief. Gen. Brisbin
has ecomme nded the government 10 remove the
Bannocks 10 arabic land where they can cultivate
the soil as they want to. The agent seemed to
care more about the orders under which the
soldiers were acting than the complaints of the
indians.
Inc same letter dated May Sth. says despatch
was just received to the effect that g messenger
from Sitting Bull has reached Gen. Miles, with a
proposition for surrender, and treaty providing
for peaceable return of the refugee Indians from
the Dominion to American t. territory.
The reports sent regarding the desire of the
fugitive Neg Perces TO return, receives confrma-
ton in various ways. 1t can be effected by little
