CHIcAoo. Dee, 24.-The .Joarmars
Washington special says A letter
received here from Savannah, Georgia,
ridicules the statement printed through
out the North that the recent election
of eighty independent members Of the
State Legislature is an outgrowh Of the
Presidents Southern policy. The vii
ter, Democrat, says that party lines
were not drawn. and it was merely a
test of personal strength between The
Democrats, in which Republicans and
others took no part. The letter says it
is perfectly absurd to class the Indepsn-
dents elected as Hayes men, Every
one of them is staunch Democrat and
will vote as such at all times.

she was told that she possessed mira

band believed the revelation was from
friendly spirits, and they went together
to Arizsna, where they prospected dill
gently. At length they disappeared
from their hotel, and were away four
days An exploring party was formed,
and the couple were found sitting under
the pines in the mountains, nearly
starved to death. They had deliberate

had taken with hun into the retreat
where they expected to meet death only

being disappointed in their search fo1
gold, and having no money, they had
decided to die.

England and Russia.

The aspect of the case, as presented by the
latest intelligence, is more grave and threat
ening. Prince Gortschakof' s reply to Lord
Salisbury's circular is pronounced ''concilia-
tory in tone' by the London press, but this
may refer merely TO the fact thatit is couehed
in courteous language. So far as matter is
concerned it reiterates with great clearness all
the demands that Russia has ever made, and
replies in detail to each objection made By
Lord Salisbury to the San Stefano treaty.
There is nothing in the abstract of the reply
telegraphed from London to indicate that
Russia is prepared to do anything more than
she had previously expressed her willingness
to do, submit the provisions of the San Stefa-
no treaty to the consideration of a Congress.
The correspondence has done nothing more
than to give England and Russia an opportu-
nifty to debate without Congress the several
provisions of the preliminary treaty, and
as England objects to them, Prince Gortscha
koff invites Lord Salisbury to state specifical-
ly what settlement outside of the San Stefano
treaty he has to propose. But that this invi
tation may not be misconstrued, he reminds
England at least twice of the rights which
Russia has acquired by the sacrifice she has
borne alone" Still the whole business now
takes the form of campaign of writing rath
er than one of shooting.

Russia has a wonderful Swedish gun ready

manner of piano forte playing, moves to and

In close quarters 1t would sweep the enemy S

The Salt Lake Tribune says that after
giving the dead mans estate the benefit of all

supposed that at his death he would turn over
to the Church all that he held as trustee, but
instead he bequeathed it to his heirs. Now
the faithful insist on restitution, but the heirs
object, and the end is likely to be very
nasty scandal unless acompromise is effected

identity has thus far been discovered.

The IRoS TRADE.-The production of pig
iron in the United States in 1877 was 2,3l4,
5s5 tons of two thousand pounds, gain of
nearly two hundred and twenty FIVE thousand
tons over the product of 1876. Further evi.
denee of decided reaction in the trade is
shown by the fact, that notwithstanding this
larger product, the stock unsold at the close
of 1877 was iorty-fve thousand tons less than
at the close Of 1876. OF the total product
Pennsylvania contributed almost fifty per
cent.-a larger percentage of the country S
product than the State has furnished for many
years. The Bulletin of the Iron and Steel
Association, which publishes a detailed re-
port of the products Of each iron making dis
trict, says that prices were lower in 1877 than
ever before, and so low as to be alike ''ruin-
ous' to the capital invested in the manufae
ture of iron and to the labor which produ-
ced it.

MExIco.-Advices from the Rio Grande
indicate that there have recently been few or
no insursions from the Mexican side. Some
Congressman think the delay in recognizing
Diaz has caused the improvement in affairs,
but that It is still necessary, as prerequisite
TO recognition, that our citizens in Mexico
should be protected from forced loans. Brit
ish and French subjects residing in Mexico
are said to be exempted from such illegal re-
QUESTIONS II is stated that the action of
Mexican officer on the frontier. some time
ago, asking Lieutenant Ward to join him in
al expedition against marauders, was con-
demned by the Mexican Government; also
that that Government censured the action of
the authorities of Acapulco, in apologizing
several months ago for an indignity to the
American Consul. Notwithstanding these
little unpleasantnesses, there is friendly
feeling in Administration circles towards
Mexico, and it Is hoped she will remove, as
far as possible, the present obstacles TO re-
cognltion. Representative Schleicher, of
Texas, is still engaged in the preparation of
an elaborate report on the Mexican question

tween Mexico and other countries, especially
our own, Mr.. Schleichers object being to
present facts by which our relations with
Mexico can be understood.

CELEBRATED PREAcHERs.-Colonel Forney

They do not speak in a way to be easily I'M

And yet Mr.. Farrar he considers the most

HO, FoR PARIs.-The passenger movement
for Europe is developing to large proportions,
the steamers sailing on Saturday last, going
out with as many in the cabins as they could
accommodate. The attractions Of the Paris
Exposition, the steamship agents are certain,
will more than counteract the restraining in
fuences of the Eastern troubles upon the
average American traveller, and they look,
therefore, for brisk business for the three
months to come. For that matter, some of
the lines think it probable they will have to
put on extra steamers by the middle of May

SOUTHERN FACTORIES While the millown-
ers of New England continue to complain o {
hard times and TO cut down the wages Of their
operatives, several of the Southern cotton fac
tories make encouraging exhibits. For in
stance, the Langley Manufacturing Company
Of Columbia, S. c., has been in active opera
ton for six years, and, on an original capital
of 500, 900, has earned net profits amounting
to 1925, 407. Wages in the Southern factories
do not average as high as in New England,
nor is as high grade of skill required in the
operatives. The cost of living is, however,
much less than in the North, and there are
no dark, cold, and dreary winters, durin G
which, as in New England, the operative
hardly ever sees daylight except through the
factory window.
