CURRENT TOPICS,
In issuing the decree which deposed
the Khedive, the Sultan also revoked
that which, many years ago, granted
practical independence to the Egyptian
ruler, allowing him to make treaties
and maintain an army. This revoca-
ton, 1t is said, England and France re-
fuse to permit, and there is likely to be
an unp!easantness in the relation of
those powers with the Porte, in conse-
quence-
IHk striking spinners of Fall River,
Mass, have issued an appeal for aid to
their fellow workmen throughout the
country. They declare that they have
been reduced to starvation wages, and
that their employers refuse all propo-
sails for concession or arbitration. Fall
River, they say, is destined to become
the battle-ground between Labor and
Capital, and all workiDgmen should in
terest themselves in sustaining those
who are to bear the brunt of the battle.
A WASHINGTON dispatch of tho SOth
announced that the President that day,
having, in his Special Message, earnest
ly urged on the attention of Congress
his views OF the necessity of making an
immediate appropriation for the service
of Marshals and Deputy Marshals for the
ensuing fiscal year, and having by this
means accomplished as much towards
securing the desired legislation as he
could have any hope of by reconvening
Congress, he had concluded to abandon
his purpose of issuing proclamation
for its recall. i
PRINCE JEROME NAPOLEON, who is
now generally recognized as chief of
the Napoleonio dynasty, it is reported /
viii soon publish manifesto, urging /
all Bonapartists to snbnit to the Re- /
public, as he Is assured that M. Grevy !
will not become pretender 70 the i'm
perial throne. 1t is believed that a split
in the Napoleonic party is inevitable,
owing to the secession of the clericals.
The following are the members of |
the Mississippi River Commission, ap-
pointed by the President and confirmed
by the Senate: Lieut.. Col. O. A. Gil

Charles r. Suter, U. S. Engineer Corps;

rison of Indiana.
A LONDON dispatch says that consid-
cradle indignation is expressed in certain
quarters ut the manner in which Prince
Louis Napoleon came to his death.
Against Lord Chelmsford's positive in
strucdons, that the Prince should not
be sent on any dangerous duty, it seems
that he was ordered off upon a most
perilous accommodating expedition, ac-
only by handful of soldiers,
who deserted him at the critical mo-
ment. The affair is declared to have
not single redeeming feature.
TIE Sutro Tunnel, the great Nevada
mining enterprise which has been prose-
cuted necessarily for ten years, day and
night, and upon which six millions of
dollars have been expended, was COM
pleted on the 30th. The tunnel was
constructed for the purpose of drawing
the water from the Comstock mines,
which had accumulated to the depth of
over 100 feet. The pumping engines
we're started up and every thing
worked smoothly, the water in a few
hours being almost entirely discharged.
The event was celebrated with great re-
joicing, Carson Valley being illuminated
by bon6res, and great racket kept up
by discharges of giant-powder. As an
engineering work the success surpasses
all expectation.
