RUSSIANS ENTER coNsTANTINoPLB


LONDON, February THE Advertiser
saws: I'VE have reason to believe that the
has received information OF
the entry of the Russians into CONSTANT
nople. At any rate, if the Government is
not in possession of the news, the Russian
Embassy is"
NoTE.-Nothing has transpired lately,
tending to show that such an event is prob
able, and although the Advertiser gives the
news very positively. the report seems NJ
teriy incredible. Direct telegraphic COM
munication with Constantinople is still In
terrupted. +.
THE REPORT CORRoBoRATED.
LONDON, Feb. THE Post, which Is gen
erally believed TO have good sources of in
formation, also states that the Russians
have entered Constantinople

Question beyond controversy. Ii there
was mode adopted Of submitting the
question to courts which wonld only be

by the commission. The tendency OF
my Judgment is that the result reached
by the electoral commission was finali>

issue presented from Oregon. the con-
clusion arrived at ny the commission
was not in accordance with my judg-
ment as executive of that state. nor is 1t
now, but think tho conmission were
properly authorized to review my ac-
ton, and to their conclusions, say. let
the decision stand. But while this is 80
the constitution ought to be changed.
for no negative mandate of the constitr>
ton should stand as dead letter. The
decision of the electoral commission in
both the Oregon aud Louisiana cases as
to eligibility of federal oficeholders to

, 1878-04-27

The following effecting incl
dent IN the early career Of the
late Boss Tweed will be new to
our readers: One fine morning
he was on his way to foundry
to call for pair of sheet-lron
gloves ordered the day before,
in which he intended to aid him
in stealing red-hot stoves, when
his attention was attracted by a
colored man who had fallen
asleep against doorway, and
who had box Of fine cigars
under his arm. How to possess
himself of said cigars was now
the question with the then em-
bryo Chief Of Tammany. His
knowledge of natural history
told him that nothing awakens
the average African but hunger
and earthquakes, so he had plen-
ty of time to perfect his plan of
operations. Directly over the
obIivious moke was a room to
let, and upon inquiry found it
could be hired at five dollars a
week. AS the cigars were obvi-
ously worth at least twenty dol
lars, he at once took the apart
ment for one week on trial. The
next thing was to purchase a
"sucker" from a small boy who
was engaged in lifting bricks
from the gutter with that juve-
nile illustration of the power Of
atmospheric pressure. Thus
young L. let down from the
window Of the room, with the
design of softly attaching it to
the box, and then gently with
drawing the same from the grasp
of it's somnific possessor. After
making several Intellectual at
tempts to cause the leather to
stick to the prize, the strategist
observed that an immense crowd
of 1oafers and other New York
politicians had collected on the
street, and were regarding his
enterprise with breathless admi-
ration and sympathy. Somehow
or other the apparatus wouldn't
work very well, and although
the darkey slumbered with reas-
suring immobility, our hero more
than once nearly slid out on his
head, in his desperate endeavors
to establish effective communica-
tions. The hours wore slowly
away, and Tweed was just about
winding up his line until after
supper when man in his shirt
sleeves stepped out OF the shop
underneath and observed, 'What
in thunder have you been doing
with my sign all this time, young
feller?' In a moment the fearful
truth flashed upon the patient
angler. The store was that ofa
tobacconist. The next day the
whole block where the above
occurred was burned to the
