FOURTH EDITION
ENGLAND WANTS WAR.
INsURRECTIoN IN RoUMELIA.
Austria Cannot BE Trusted
as an Ally.
LONDON, April q, 1873.

LONDON, April u, 1873.
The st. Petersburg correspondent OF
the Times says it is not yet known wheth-
er the British government will accept the
new formula, viz: That the Congress
shall consider the'treaties of the 1856 and
1871 in relation to the Treaty of San
Stefano. The British Cabinet does
notinsist on any particular form of words
but merely demands that Russia should
in some way formally recognize the SUI
premacy of Europe relative to the East.
erp question.
THE TRUTH AT LAST.
The truth is that the discussions about
the formula cover more important mat
ters. One issue out of the present com
plications consists in undoing much of
Russias work and giving the rest Euro
pean instead of specifically Russian
character. Another consists in what is
called the principle of equivalents or
compensation to the Powers for Russia's
acquisitions. The latter solution is the
one Russia desires, while Great Britain
seems resolved to insist upon the former.
Prince GortschakOff is decidedly better.
WHAT DELAY MEANS.
The leading editorial in yesterdays
Times, referring to the statement in the
despatch from its st. Petersburg cores
pondent that Austria is said to be ad-
vancing toward a solution on the basis
of the other Powers taking suitable COM
pensation for the increased influence of
Russia, says :-"The solution of taking
suitable compensation means, of course,
that Turkey should be further despoiled
TO satisfy the territorial needs of its neigh
bors. Thus the battle that may tomorrow
be fought over one crippled Power may
the day after be fought over three.
THE COTTON oPEATIvEs' STRIKE.

and operatives is widening. The coun-

A FLAT DENIAL.
From the Delawarean.

FROM lne 1)elaWarean.
The Erery Evening of the 10Th inst, in
commenting on the action of the Repub.
licanS of Kent county, takes occasion to
say, that the assessment laws of this
State are enforced with evident unfair.
ness TO the great cost of the tax payers
The statement so far as it refers TO this
county, is entirely gratuitons as well as
untrue. We speak of this county be.
| cause we are entirely familiar with the
manner in which the law is enforced, and
know that il is enforced with strict i'm.
partiality and in spirit of Justice. We
hope in the future that the editor will
not make such bold and unwarrantable
assertions without knowing whereof he
speaks. If he had taken the trouble to
ascertain he could have easily learned
that there has been less number re-
turned delinquent and more money col
lected than under the old law notwith
standing the fact that leading Republ
cans have advised the negroes not to pay
their taxes.

THE THUNDER STORM

About II o'clock to- lay, the soun1 of
low rumbing thunder was heard in the
southeastern part of the horizon. The
cloud passed around to the northeast and
about O'Clock few drops of water COM
menced to fall and the cloud soon hung
over the city. AT the same time another
came rapidly up from the west, and the
two meeting, the rain began to fall in
torrents, and still continues without in
termission up to this writing 245
EThe CUTTERS were soon swollen with
the great volume of water that fell, and
i n some places the street crossings espe-
| cially on Poplar street, could not be
crossed unless by wading through water
| nearly knee deep.
Accompanying the rain were frequent
flashes of lightning and heavy claps o.
| thunder.

from us as TO the negroes voting the
Democratic ticket In this county. We
we do not want, and will, under no cir.

they are entitled to their votes. we

DENNIS SUMMONED TO WASH
INGTON.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, April 26.-Dennis
started for Washington yesterday morn
ing, having been summoned there by
Mr.. Bisbee, Congressman from this dis
trict, but whose seat is contested by Fin
ley. The whole case is understood to be
there now, and the papers. including
Dennis's statement are believed to have
gone forward. Among the affidavits is
one made by ex-Sheritf Levy, in which
he speaks of "a plot to burn the State
Capitol, which was not carried out be-
cause it was thought the Democrats had
certified copies of all the returns" 1t
seems from the nature of some of the af-
fidavits made that something besides
money has prompted the statements,
and it is believed that the influence OF
Republican leaders has been largely
brought to bear on some of those who
have confessed"
