The Battle Mt Pe,JRr Pass-what Is
Thousht OF the Cars speech at Mos
cOw-GermRn socialists In London

LONDON, Dec. 3.-The battle In Peiar O,
Pauvar Pass, yesterday, of which only i'm.
perfect accounts have as yet been received
was fought by the southern column. which
had advanced along the north bank of Ku,.-
ram river to kurram fort. From the latter
place the column took the road leading north
west through Paavar Pass to Ali Khel.
At headquarters here no doubt is felt as to
the wisdom Of the military movements. but
in military circles the outside opinion is ex-
pressed that the withdrawal of the Afghanis-
tan troops thus far has been only O feint. de-
signed to draw the English troops into posi-
tionS from which they cannot retire without
serious loss, and beyond which they cannot
attain or advance.
The speech of the Gar at Moscow last even
ing is construed here as having a sinister
meaning. The OGinitive treaty of peace be-
tween Russia and Turkey, spoken of by the
Gar, Is thought to mean merely the treaty of
San Stefano or something equivalent to it,
and his remarks respecting the development
OF Russia's greatness, in peaceful and regu-
lar manner, are thought to mean nothing less
than the relteratlon OF Russia's claims to the
reguisition OF Constantinople.
German refugees in London are contem-
plating the organization Of society for mu-
tual assistance and support and the encour-
aging OF public opinion against the present
German government. They have received
With delight the expulsion OF Socialistic wo-
men from Berlin, as they believe they can
bring upon the government fresh ridicu1e and

The New York Press and the Presidents
Message.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-The Herald says the
President in his message eyinces good sense
and sound discretion, both in what he says
and what he omits.
The World points out whereiI The President
Is inconsistent on the Southern question.
The Times says the message is Ineffective
as well as brief
The Tribune says it Is very plain docu-
ment. We congratulate the country upon the
firm stand the President has taBf with re-
spect to the Southern question.
The Witness says brevity and good sense
are the leading characteristics of the docu-
ment.
The Sun says: Hayes fails utterly to recog-
nlze the great and pressing questions of the
times, and fails to make any new suggestions
worthy OF a man of affairs.
The Star says On the whole the message
Is mild and conservative. Admitting there
may have been some irregularities In certain
portions of the South, as there have been
usually at the North, the President himself
comedies, in previous part Of the message
that on the whole the elections were fair, and
that all disturbing influences, real or imagin-
airy, had been removed from all those States.

the Caucus Of Republican Senators.

WASHINGTON, Dec 3.-The Democrats and
Republicans of the Senate both held eau
cussos to-day to determine upon course of
action in regard to the resolution Of Mr..
Blaine, directing tho Judiciary Committee to
inquire into alleged violations of law in the
recent elections. The Republican Senators
will unite in favor Of an investigation Of this
character, but majority of them pre-
ferred to have a. special committee to
perform the labor. 1t was stated
that the Judiciary Committee, with
oil its other labors, couldn't give the time
and attention necessary to thorough inves-
tigaton OF all the complaints made from the
South.
In'the discussion all the Senators assumed
that the resolution contemplated only an in
quiry into election frauds in the South, al
though it does not so express itself. 1t was
agreed, without any opposition. to amend the
Eeselution of Mr. Blaine SO as to provide for
a special committee
: It was also decided by the caucus to submit
TO the Senate at an early day a resolution af-
fir1ling the validity of the constitutional
amendments and demanding additiong legis-
!ation for their enforcement. The idea as ex-
pressed was that this would put the Demo-
Gratis In an ugly dilemma.
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1878-12-04
went through without amendment, as re.
ported to the House, and passed within ten
minutes.
The House then, at 3 p. m, adjourned.

| WASHINGTON, CcC 3.-The Democrats in the
Senate held n causcus to-day to decide upon
the course to be pursued In regard to the
| Blaine bloody-shirt resolution, introduced
yesterday. The utmost unanimity prevailed
and the determination was expressed when
Blaine's resolution comes up that the Demo-
| Gratis Will offer an amendment extending the
scope OF Inquiry into bulldozing in New Or

and In Massachusetts by factory owners. The
| Radicals generally express an intention to ad-
| NIT this amendment, 50 that tho amended
resolution will pass without opposition. This Is
| great disappointment to Blaine whose object
In introducing the resolution was to provoke
| general discussion OF the late elections In the
South. The action OF the Democratic caucus
to-day took Blaine greatly aback, and 1t is
doubtful whether he will take any pains to
call the resolution UP again. preferring to let
1t be passed over as collapsed buncombe. If.
however, It Is called up, and the Radicals
make bloody shirt speeches, the Democrats
have agreed not to defend or apologize for the
conduct OF elections in the South but simply
to retort by attacking the conduct OF elections
In the North and asking an impartial inyest-

by making factious resistance to the repeal
