PERA, Feb. bit is generally expected that
the Grand Duke Nicholas will enter Constan-
tlnople with portion of his army, but will
come as guest and friend of the ration, with
the consent of the Sultan, the Russians con-
sidering that this will give England no c0sus

and the Porte.
War Feeling In the Russian Camp.
A Tmestelegram: dated Schataldja, Feb. l.,
says:-"ln the Russian campa renewal of hos
tlltles is discussed as more probable than
peace; and every measure is being adopted to
consolidate the Russian advance. The en-
trance OF the British fleet into the Dardanelles
before the conclusion of the armistice would
have been answered, it is unheSitatingly said.
by a Russian declaration of war, buJ
whether such would now be the case is
doubtful. War with England would be very
popular with the army, though the officers
speak of it gravely as a terrible struggle In
this state of feeling, if we have to begin again,
say the Russian officers, nothing could save
Constantinople from u.s. and we would not
leave one stone upon another"

THERE Las just been handed US writ
ten statement that Secretary Of the Senate
Gorham who, with Hale Of Maine, runs
the Republican Congressional Committee,
is guilty Of a disreputable trick in expend-
ing the money of the Committee. It. is to
the effect that, upon being selected to
manage the Committees affairs, he bought
Tor himself an interest in the National Ke'
publican, and is having all the Committed
printing done there at abaurdly higt
prices, The amount of the printing Ii
enormous, and Gorham's profits cores
pondingly large. If the story is true il
would seem that the stalwarts have hardly
a higher sense of what is honest than TIM

itself. 1t is further said that the Demo
cratic Post, Of Washington, was kept from
xposing this little arrangement only b!
receiving quite an amount ofthe same worl

Mr.. BLAINE is an ingenious person. He
has figured out nomination in 1880. His
friends heretofore stated that he did mol
expect to be a candidate at that time, but
they say nothing Of the kind now. The
Senator is doing what he can to push the
Grant movement, believing that no man
can be nominated for the third term. LIE,
us suppose the Republican convention o.
1880 near at hand, and Grant the princi-
pal figure. Blaine by right of his larg,
vote in the Convention of 1876, and Of hi
constant prominence in affairs, can b.
brought forward at any moment. l
Blaines belief as to third term nomina
ton is correct the nomination will GER
tainly fall to him. No unknown persol
will be taken while Hayes is remembered
No soldier is available. To nominate an.
tried politician oyer Blaine would oe mad
ness. Hereafter we may expect tn
Blaine press to look kindly upon the Grar
movement, and to keep that imposslbl
candidate prominently before the peopl
for q year more at least.

a Little Of the History OF thc New
GOvernOr OF Arizona.

From the Silver State OF the 13th.l
General John C.EFremont, recently APP
pointed Governor OF Arizona Territory,
passed through last evening on his way to
his new home. Thirty-three years ago he
passed down the Humboldt in command
of the expedition fitted out by the Gov
crnmcnt to explore the country west Of the
Missouri river, and find q practicable route
to California. which at that time was a
province Of Mexico. While in California,
war was declared between the United
states and Mexico. and he, with the men
Of his command, participated in the cam
paign. In 1856 the Republican party,
then In its infancy, nominated him for
President on free soil platform. but he
WAS defeated by Buchanan. He participated
In the late war and served as General Of vol
untsers along the Mississippi in the vicin-
ity Of 81. Louis, Missouri. Subsequently
be appeared - one Of the principal pro-
motcrs Of . railroad through Texas, which,
though Incorporated, and subsidized by
the Government, was never built. He has
OF lats met with reverses la fortune, and
vas appointed Governor Of Arizona at the
instance Of personal and political friends
who thought that man Of such note ought
70 be provided for in his old age. THE
great pathfinder" as he was styled when
running for President 23 years ago. though
at least 60 years Of age, looks we'll and Wig
orous, and Is accompanied by his wife and
their son and daughter.
