DESPITE the temporary lull in Europe,
peace is not yet assured. 1t appears
that Bismarck considers a Congress
possible, provided England and Austria
consent to the retrocession of Bessara-
bia and the extension of Russia in Asia
as far as Erzeroum. 1t is difficult, says
the New York Sun, to see how England
can accept such a compromise after
the assertion laid down in Lord
Salisbury's famous note. In that note
she objected to the whole of the treaty
of San Stefano, and would take nothing
short of the unconditional submission of
the entire document to the Powers. If she
now agrees to leave the provisions rela-
tive to Armenia and Bessarabia untouch-
cd, on condition that Bulgarian autonomy
be modified, she will in fact be consent
ing to the very demands that she has so
strenuously resisted. Nothing in the
attitude of the Beaconsfeld Govern
ment justifies the opininn that it will
swallow its own words.

German MOney.Order System.

The Manchester (England) Courier
says: The Post-office money order sys-
tenn in this country is clumsy and un-
satisfactory. 1t involves great waste
of time on the part of the sender and
the receiver of the sums transmitted, o
curiously complicated and cumbersome
system of bookkeeping in the Post
office, and, if we mistake not, occasions
loss to the department. The postal
facilities in Germany for the transmits
sion of money are much greater than
those of this country, and are specially
adapted to meet the requirements and
conveniencies of the persons concerned.
The German Post-office orders for the
year 1876 exceed in value those of En-
gland and France together by about
E43, 100000 sterling, showing that the
system in operation in that countryis
far more popular and effective than
either the English or French. Not only
does the German Post-office issue orders
for money, but the postman pays the
money to the person for whom it IS
intended, at his house or place of bust
ness, receiving receipt for the amount
on form printed at the back OF the
order. By this means the loss OF time
occasioned to the payee by persona
attendance, or attendance by deputy, at
the Post-office for the receipt OF tne
money, and much irritation and annoy
ance are avoided. The cost for this serV'
ice is 2pence for 100 Marks (f5) spence
for 200, and 4 pence for 800 and tns
system works both exceedingly we'll anu
proftably. Not only does the German
Post-office deliver money direct TO 'l'
persons to whom it is sent, but 1t COZ
lects sums of money which may be oS'
ing, and hands them over to the crea'
itor. For this purpose there is WHATS
called a postal demand note, containing
on one side the amount and other par
ticulars of the sum owing, and on 'I'
other the name and address OF the creu'
itor. If the money be not PAD on az
plication, the demand note is re1alns.

THE EUROPEAN CRISIS.

Dispatches of the 10Th state: In con-
sequence of Russian circumstances the Porte
has promised the immediate evacuation Of
Varna and Shumla. 1t ia stated that Dervish
Pasha declares he can not evacuate
Batoum. The instruction in Thessaly
is almost overwhelmed by large forces
of Turks sent from Thrace and
Bulgaria. In Epirus it completely hangs
fire, and can only be revived by considerable
efforts of Greek synpathizers. The Cretans
are still able to hold their own, but it Is

CURRENT TOPICS.
I. H. JULIAN, Editor.

SIGNIFICANT publication appears in
the New York World, being an appar-
emily authoritative report of several re-
cent interviews with Senator Conkling
regarding the Presidents policy. The
Senator openly expressed tho opinion
that the Presidents course is
the result of o secret bargain
made between him and Governor
Nichols, growing out Of the Presiden-
tial complication, and thinks the facts
will all come out sooner or later, when,
he says, "the whole country will be ap-
palled by the dishonor Of the Admins
tration." The report makes six COL
umns in the World, and is as severe in
its censure of the President as it we'll
could be.
Senator Conkling, while not deny
ing that the alleged "interview" with
him published by the New York World
fairly gives the substance of much that
he may have said at various times, says
that he has not had an interview with
any newspaper correspondent in sew
eral months, and that the person who
furnished it to the press abused his hos
pitality by working up into sensa-
tional newspaper article fragments Of
confidential conversation held in the
nr;vacv Of the home circle, He further
claims that in some cases very differ
ent meaning is conveyed by the Ian
guage as quoted from the sense in which
it was uttered.

The nomination of Gen. John Mcneil,
of St. Louis, to be Indian Inspector,was
confirmed by the Senate after some
what acrimonious debate, by vote of
81 to 26. The Democrats generally OPP
posed him, on the ground of his alleged
inhumanity during the war, in hanging
ten guerillas at Palmyra, Mo-, in retail
iation, as was claimed, for the killing of
some of his own men. Senator Arm
strong was the only Democratic Senator
who voted for his confirmation. Several
Republican Senators opposed him, as is
understood, for the reason of their dis
like to a certain Cabinet officer who was
strongly pressing Gen. Mcneil for the
position.

previously George Shoenberger, well
known and respectable citizen, was waylaid
and killed by two negroes, Ben. Evans and
Eph. Hall, instigated, as 1t was proven, by
worthless white ruffian named Mike White.
All three were arrested and lodged In jail.
On the day named large crowd, comprising,
II Ia said, many of the best citizens OF the
county, assembled at the Jail, and forcing
an entrance led out the three victims, who
were speedily swung of from the limb OF q
tree. The negroes confessed to the murder,
but White protested his innocence to the
last. None of the lynchers were masked,
and thousands stood by and witnessed the
whole proceeding.
Underwood, jackson and Sam Bass,
formerly operators on the Union Pacihc
Road, have been recognized as members OF
the Denton County gang Of Texas-Pacific
train robbers.

GUS minor crimes.
At Troy, Geauga County, O., on the
night of the 18th, l.. B. Stroud killed his wife
by plunging large butcher-knife several
times in her abdomen, and then cut his own
throat from err to ear. Stroud was very
bad character, had abused his wife shame
fully, and was infuriated because the neigh
bors had taken her part and intimated to him
that he had better leave the country or he
would be summarily punished for some OF
his misdeeds. Stroud had recently beenin-
dicted by the Grand Jury for poisoning
horses and cattle and burning barn be-
longing to a neighbor.
Two officers from Texas arrested the
notorious T. Mckinney and his comrade at
Ozark, Ark, and while passing through the
Indian Territory, Ell route to Texas, the
prisoners tried to escape, and both were
shot and instantly killed.
The severest storm ever experienced
in the Black Hills commenced on the 10th
and continued for five days. Heavy snow,
rain and hail fell in succession, doing much
damage to mines and rendering the roads
utterly impossible. The Belle Fourche
River, usually fordable, was swollen to
great depth and was three miles wide.
