ACCORDING to the dispatches the
Eastern war question is becoming
more and more serious every day.
The two great contending powers,
England and Russia, are face to face,
the former with her feet in the waters
near Constantinople and the latter an
the land in the vicinity, with their guns
pointed at eace other in q menacing
manner, the one afraid to fire, and the
other dare moi, t,while both are anxi0us-
~ waiting for the powers Of Europe to
step in and prevent the terrible slaugh-
ter. II is the general impression

inevitable, and that, the conflict once
begun, will involve all Europe in the
struggle. 49,

On the afternoon of the 9th ult..
the north-bound train on the Cleve-
land, Tnscarawas Valley and Wheel
Ing Railroad, when between MassiIlop
and Fulton, was struck by lightning.
The engineer and brakeman received
slight injuries about the head and
lower limbs. but the passenger escaped
without more than terrible shaking
mp and . sudden fright. The baggage
car was somewhat shattered, and after
the effects of the shock had passed the
conductor passed through. exhibiting
some large pieces Of the timbers where
the car was shattered. The report of
the electric fash was as if a cannon
had exploded in the center of the
train. AS quick as the fash everv
passenger was raised from his seat, and
some felt the shock some minutes If.
terward. 1t was miraculous that the
lightning did not count some victims
oe throw the train from the track.

caucus Of Raa,e.l senat.rs.


The Radical Senators held caucus
in Washington on Saturday. The
dispatches say: "It appears from the
views expressed by Senators that
while they concede that the speech Of
Senator Howe, delivered a week ago,
Is mainly just in its structures on the
course of the Administration, they
can see no propriety in recalling past
events in Louisiana and elsewhere, and
of making q direct issue with the
President; and they are also agreed
that the so-called Civil Service Re-
form is deception and failure. They
therefore think that Republicans
should strive to strengthen their party
irrespective of what the President
may say or do, and they point to the
late election in New Hampshire to
show that it resulted in favor of the
Republicans apart from any consider
alton connected with the National
Administration. They are of opinion
that it would be better te approve of
such measures as they can in future,
rather than oppose the President for
what has already been done by him
in his Southern conciliation policy, 7, and
other measures which do not meet
with Republican approval. Besides,
to make an open issue with the Pres
ident would benefit the Democratic
party 10 the injury of the Republican
party. They say they can do nothing,
no matter what independent course
the President may think proper to
pursue, At the same time they do
not impute dishonesty of purpose to
the President and see some things In
his administration to approve; but
they doubt the wisdom Of much of his
so-called policy. As Committee of
Senators appointed by caucus here
tofore called on the President in ret
,erence to appoints, &C., and failed to
come to an understanding, it is con-
sidered useless again to approach him
in similar way. as the President acts
Independent of Senatorial advice or
conference. 1t is shown that the Pres
ideHt regarded the call a. mere per-
sonal matter, and as of no public in
terest, and therefore he was not dis
'turbed. Under all the circumstances
tho Republican Senators do not think
it wise to take an active part against
the President, but to do the most they
can for the interests of the party, re-
membering that the President has
three more years to serve.
