d. s. Teri who has just been nominated
for State Aprney- General by the Democrats
of CalifoIa, is the notorious Dave Terry

by the icers, of the court Terry escaped
even t~h|forrnalities of a trial for murder.
Soon att, hetrebellion having broken out,
he sllpfi of to Mississippi and headed a
rebel blade during the war. This episode

The Imocrats seeing Terry needed yindica-
ton Wy badly and being hard pressed for a

Nv YORK, Aug. 21.-The latest London
dispkhes present rather discouraging pros
pectfor a speedy or satisfactory termination
of u Zulu war. Sir Garnet Wellesley Is
straling every nerve and employing all his
meis to lay his hands on Cetewayo. He
reptsents peace as impossible. Archibald
Febes, of the Neps, says it is obvious that
Cewayo is still King of the Zulus, aud has
urge following of fighting men with him.
Dtails of the regiments present in the last
etagement prove this. Ii he holds out the
tIu6le and expenditure will continue. IL is
teless to think Of putting up puppets in his
bad; British bayenets must support these
r an indefinite period, and British bayonets
Jeans Br fish taxation wasted in futility.
Ietewayo alone can sway Zululand, and no
eace is worth having unless he be dead or
%|cnsenting.
| Correspondent Russell writes that there is
much sympathy for the King amongst The
Zulus, and it is doubled whether our ultima
tnm was ever delivered to him, or that he UNI
derstood our commands. The savage mOli-
arch has at least the art OF making others feel
for him. 1t is a sorry business all around
No wal of ours has ever wrecked more repu.
and all feel that they are undo a
cloud in spite of their duty SO CALAMITY per-
formed. 1t is also said that the leading Zulus
hold aloof from Sir Garnet, and that even
John Dunn has failed in his efforts to toni'
municate with the King, and it is calculated
that some four-and-twenty thousand fighting
men are still a foot, while the arms given M
do not include many serviceable rifles.
A Tribune correspondent says: "Sir Garne'
went out with one hand tied. and the Other
he has since tied himself in his over zeal t.
comply with the exigencies of those who sem
hin. He was to smooth the path to an all
tumn dissolution, and it looks at thism omen
as if the dissolution must after all be post
poned."

city authorities withdrew the guards that

NEW YORK. Aug. 21.--The Tribune refer
ring to yesterdays dispatch concerning tn
contract by Russia with American ship bui'd
ers for several vessels costing twenty-five
million golden roubles, says: "No confirm
alton could be obtained here yesterday, but
is known that representatives from Americ
have been in Russuia several months lookin
after the matter. 1t is thought If the Barke
Brothers, of Philadelphia, have secured til
contract the vessels will be built by Messr
Cramp. If by Webb, who is in Russia ais,
John Roach & Sons will build them. |
either case employment will be given to Sc
eral thousand mechanics"

NEW York, August 22.-Much interest
attached to the case which comes before I
courts to-day involving the question OF RICH

therein of those who in life belonged to seer
societies, the authorities of Calvary Cemete
having refused burial in cOnsecrated groul
