England and the Terms of Peace.

For the first time IN the history OF
Great Britain, treaty between Euro
pean powers, involving the recognized
rights and privileges of nations, has been
made without her knowledge, her advice,
or her consent. No incident in her his
tory, from the beginning Of her enlarge
ment, SO strikingly marks the radical
alteration of her influence none could
more clearly describe the loss Of her
prestige and the decay of her moral
power. That Russia should impart to
Austria and Germany the terms of peace
with Turkey, consult with them, and, on
the advice of the former, make conces-
sions-the nature of which does not ap-
pear-to the latter, is an afront to En-
gland which is simply amazing, when
viewed in the light of British predomi-
nance in the past, and of English preten-
sion IN the present. More than any other
power, England has made the Eastern
question peculiarly hers; she has always
insisted on her paramount right to have a
voice in controlling the relations between
Russia and the Ottoman empire: more
than any other power, she has insisted
that her own commercial interest in the
remote East made her an interested and
ESSENTIAL party in all the affairs in which
either Russia or Turkey participated. In
view of these claims, so persisteptly put
forth, SO vast in their scope, and so deter
minedly backed heretofore by real or sup
posititious military and naval strength,
that Russia should deliberately ignore
her in the settlement of the Eastern
question is the most stupendous fact in
political history since the overthrow of
Napoleon Bonaparte. It is not trivial
incident in international relations; it is
not mere episode, surprising in its
form and transient in it's effects. It is
the closing of one book of European his
tory-the history of British supremacy
in European politics.; and the opening
chapter of new book-the beginning
OF a. Russo Germanic combination which
will undertake in due time new align
ment Of European states in order to ad-
just them for the further ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
of two powers, the one of which is am
bilious to overshadow Europe, as the
other already dominates Asia, and has
now practically annihilated the Ottoman
nation as an organized empire in both
continents. -CbScOOO Times.

In fact, wild cries and clouds of dust
showed that the foe had taken the alarm
and were hurrying on. But already
Ahmed and Mustapha were mounted,
and Solimin, like ship at full sail, was
speeding away with them. And where
was the camel could overtake him, even
when he was loaded double? Fast and
swift his long, swinging trot bore them
onward, and, before two hours were gone,
all traces of the pursuers had disap-
peared behind them, and they were free
to turn their course toward the
brown tents where rest, and food,
and welcome had waited SO long FOR
their coming, and where, after little
time, their hardships and sufferings
seemed to them only like bad dream.

''Mr. Pendleton was, perhaps. the
best of the soft-money element, as we
call it. Ii man of that kind was elect
ed, Mr.. Pendleton is as little to be re-
GREETED as any. He did introduce into
the debates of our Democratic friends,
who were wont to be rather rough-and-
tumble in their style of speaking, the
element of the gentleman. He was the
first of their leaders to conduct public
discussions with courtesy and recipro-
city. / can say of Ewing the same

Mr.. Pendleton.'

Democrats did net select a Senator from
Northern Ohio, the Republican strong
hold, with hope to modify that vote. y
"They have few or none of their nota-
bic leaders there. Mr.. Payne is an ex-
cellent man, but the Democrats seldom
incline toward one who has been Re-
publican at any time"

journment of Congress for the holidays.

port.
Everything is moving on well, an
swered the President, !" except, perhaps,
the business relations of the towns and
cities. The times revive slowly; yet
look for revival. The results that sprung
from such war as ours are universal in
their reach. We are slowly overtaking

at least, is over. / look next for better

Five TelI-TaIe Skeletons.

On tie Goth of October last ranchteo
in search of stray horse came upon a
group of five skeletons, firmly bound in
standing position 10 SO many mezquit
trees in dense chaparral near the Iona
de Borregos, within q short distance
from the high road, about one days
journey from Matamoros. The skele-
tons were tied to the trees with strips of
raw hide, and from their peculiar posi-
ton it was inferred that they had been
partially stripped and tied up alive, and
had been left to starye. The skeletons
were all close together and in the flesh
less jaws of each gag of rough mezquit
wood was firmly fastened. The victims,
therefore, were in full view Of each other,
and must have persisted without even the
poor consolation of calling out for aid
and encouraging one another during
their agony.
At the feet of one of the skeletons a
valuable gold watch and several papers
were found. One of the latter was a
certificate Of deposit, signed by a we'll
known firm in Matamoros, for 81, 900, in
the name of Mrs. Rita Chapa de Men
doza. By means of this clew the identi-
ication of the remains was effected.
Upon inquiry in Matamoros it was
learned that about the middle of Sep
TENDER last Mrs. Rita Chapa de Men
doza, accompanied by Miss Rumualda
Cara Oria and Miss Damiana CARA.
and her coachman, Gregorio, and Au-
gustin Cullen, her footman, set out
from Matamoros for the interior. Moth
ing was heard from the party after their
departure, but no uneasiness had been
telt on their account, as it was thought
that they had reached their destination
in safety. 1t was known that it was
Mrs. Mendoza's practice to carry her
valuables in her bosom, and it is sup
posed that the robbers were frightened
off before they had time to search her
person thoroughly, and in that way
failed to get the watch and the papers.
There is no doubt as to the identity of
the remains, for by the hair yet remain
ing on the skulls, and a part of the
clothing found, it was ascertained that
two of the skeletons were of males, and
three of females. La Epoc0 Of Merico.
