SCRANTON BECK, Of Kentucky, assuming
that the public debt has been reduced
two hundred and twenty millions more
than is required by the provisions Of the
sinking fund act, and believing that the
country is not able to stand the present
rate Of taxation, has introduced reso.
luton to the effect that 1t is unnecessary
and ineYpedient to maintain or impose
taxes al this time for the purpose Of
providing the thirty-seven millions
asked to- by the secretary Of the treas
ury for the sinking tuud. The resolu
ton also directs the secretary not Ia
purchase bonds Tor the reduction OF the
principal Of the public debt till further
orders OF congress. This action o
Senator Beck attracts at once genera
attention, and will doubtless be discussed
throughout the country.

What it Costs.

The receipts for customs at French
mans Bay, Maine, TOR the year ending
June 30, 1877, amounted to $685.. The
expenses incurred in the collection was
$5.ls7. The custom receipts IN Alaska,
for the year were iiity>hour cents; the
fees Of the collectors and five deputies,
SO ,6l4.s0. At Perth Amboy, New Jer-
sey, $3.50 was collected, and S5,245.3O
expended In the collection. At ST. Aus
gustine, Florida, $23.sI was collected,
and S3,7sl expended in the collection.
This looks like "a tariff for reyenue"-

The supreme court of South Carolina

circuit judges elected prior to 1877, by

TaEhr was a curious meeting of SC

money men Al the capital Wednesday.
Ben Butler and Proctor Knott were there,
and Others to the number of a hundred,
mostly from the west and south. So
strong is the feeling on this subject now
that for time everything else is for
gotten. Butler is a tower OF weakness to
any case just now, but he seemed to be
allowed TO take the lead at this meeting.
This was the worst sort of policy. 1t is
said the proposition to attach the silver

MEST.
LONDON, Jan. %, 4 A.N.-The question
now awaiting decision is not merely the
settlement between Russia and Turkey,
but il includes the safety OF all Europe.
Russia's terms are known only TO Ger
many and Austria. and the tone OF the
German press IL highly significant, inns
plying that
ARasrIcg NEGOTIATIONS WILL CERTAINLY
rAIL.
A Vienna correspondent telegraphs
that Austria is not opposing Ru'sia's
demands, but finding that one OF them
would be regarded by England as q
casus belli, Count Andrassy is trying to
have it so modified MS to avert a war,
which would become general in Europe.
Should England make the least warliRe
preparations at this crisis
prAcE WOULD BECOME IMPOSSIBLE.
There are grave reasons for fearing that
she will do so however. Night before last
a delegation OF over forty members ofpar-
lament had a private interview with the
chancellor of the eXchequer to inquire
whether the government Intended to
allow a Russian advance on Constants
nople or Gallipoli. Sir Stafford North
cote replied that England would enforce
the conditions laid down in Lord Derby's
note to Russia last May, adding that
unless things altered the government
would ask for supplies, as toreshadowed
in the queens speech. Gen. Ghourko Is
said to be at keshon, only two days
march from Gallipoli, having abandoned
TIE pursuit OF
sULEIMkS pAsHA,
who is at Kavala preparing to embark
for Gallipoli by sea. If Ghourko gets
there first Suleiman cannot reach Con-
stantinOple at all, as the Russians VIII
command the Dardanclles.

Ito would have connected tbs eastern
discoveries with the western, those oil
Krapf, Erhardt. Rebmann, Spoke, Bur-
ton, Grant, Baker, Gessi, snd Living
stone with those of Turkey and those
gathered during centuries by the PortuN
gese and Catholic missions; which
latter, It may bc said by the way, arc
small, POOR, unreliable, and may be
called a shame for d cultivated nation,
and q Christian work. A single German
traveller, Heinrich Barth, has done more
for the map and geography OF Africa
than all tho Portuguese. including the
government Of Portugal. and all Catho'
liz missions In hundreds OF years.
But Stanley has also connected the
southern researches Of Livingstone.
Cameron, Ladislaus, Magyar, Pogee,
Montciro, Gamitt0, Rodriguez, Gracs
aud the Pom5elrOs. with the northern
researches OF Du Chaillu, Marche. Say,
orguan de Brhzza, Barth, Nachugal,
Schweinfurth, Browne, and the Oldest
African travellers. His bold course
reaches TO the most remote points VI the
discoveries Of the greatest African tray.
elers, In one effort, lie was woven all
these disjseta me0;blu, the different ends,
and threads OF former researches and the
labors of thousands Of years, into one
compact web.
Thus Stanley has done more than all
scientific explorations Of Interior Africa
which extend over the past thirty years:
he has done more than all the travels OF
Europeans which date back eighty years;
than all the journeys OF Arabians, who,
for thoueand years and more, have
pressed forward everywhere into interior
Africa: he has done more than all classic
antiquity, and finally he has made known
more than the millions OF It's natives
know OF their own country.
There is no like instance in the whole
history of the worlds discoveries.
