European Disagresments.

Our cable dispatches this morning bring
important news OF diplomatic and dynastic
troubles in Europe. We have had repeated
explanations OF the GOODNESS which was
said to exist between Germany and Russia.
and this mornings dispatches seem to
show that a serious misunderstanding on
some as yet unexplained point does really
exist between the two empires. This was
shown i'll the TACT of the Gar avoiding
the customary summer meeting with his
imperial uncle this year at Ems, where tor
many seasons past they have met to drink
ut the Kaiserbrunnen. A Vienna paper
asserts that Russia is preparing for con-
flict with Germany. The trouble between
Spain and England, at which we limited
yesterday, in reference to Morocco, is evil
IDENTIFY real one, and the British Minister
ut Madrid has had conference with the
Spanish Minister OF Foreign Affairs to dis
cuss it. Round about Janina the Greeks
and the Turks stand armed for the conflict.
Slight skrmishes have already taken place
there, and it seems probable that I'M
less Turkey gives up the disputed town
to the Greeks war will be the result. But
there is chance of the struggle being
avoided. Turkey has her own troubles of
u very serious nature at home. The popu-
lation Of Constantinople is disconnected,
the army is growing tor arrears Of pay, the
Ulemas have declared the deposed Murad
to be cured of his alleged insanity, and are

Steamboat Runners.

Mayor Cooper sent communication to
the Police Board yesterday requesting infor-
nation as to the alleged bad conduct of the
steamboat and other runners licensed 10y
the city. Numerous complaints have been
made that the present licensing system, in
stead of being q protection to strangers
arriving in the city and to the public gen.
orally, is. in fact, an evil; first, because
licenses are granted to persons of question
able character through the influence of
Aldermen and politicians generally, and
next because the license is made conven-
lent cover for all sorts of abuses.
The ordinance authorizes the Mayor to
grant licenses at his discretion to any num-
Der Of persons to act runners for steam
boats, railroads, emigrant boarding houses
or hotels for the purpose of soliciting pas
sengers or guests and prohibits parties not
holding such a license from pursuing the
business under penalty of twenty five
dollars for each offence. The consequence
is that the runners who carry the license
badge claim exclusive authority at steam
boat and railroad landings, and use their
position to mislead passengers and to force
them to the boats or boarding houses whose
interests they represent. On the excursion
piers, in particular, the licensed runners
are alleged to be INSCRIPTIONS in tho
means they use to get passengers for the
particular boat for which they work, and it
is charged that they use all manner Of
receptions and false staten ents, and not
unfrequently resort to violence in carrying
out their object. In these cases the license
badge becomes an evil, since it gives o sort
of official authority to the runner and en-
ables him the better to impose on the pub
lie and especially on strangers.
Every person who patronizes the excur-
sion steamers or lands at a steamboat dock
or railroad depot in this city knows how
great nuisance these licensed "runners"
are II the selection of persons to solicit
passengers or direct strangers and others
where to go were left to the steamboat and
railroad companies there would be less con-
fusion and less deception in the business.
The companies would be responsible for
the decent conduct of their agents. The
license law no doubt has some good fea-

State. for both parties. 1t becomes neces-
sary for Mr.. Tilden that the democrats shall
carry New York this fall, and we may ex-
pect to see his attitude and that of his
friends toward Tammany considerably
changed within the next ten days. He will
feel compelled to do or to suffer others to
do that which will unite the party and give
it ut least a chance of success and Mr..
John Kelly has no doubt gained the victory

would strike out boldly. We hope he will
give no more reasons for not supporting
Governor Robinson.
On the other hand, the democratic posi-
ton must make the republicans more
anxious than ever to make no mistake either
In their candidate or their platform. They
see themselves confronted by an opponent
to whom it has just been announced that
defeat this fall will be the ruin of his
dearest hopes. They cannot afford to blum

Those two distinguished individuals,
are involved in lawsuit with the people
of the State of New York growing out of a
dispute as to the correct Interpretation of
the statute relating to burglary, seem des-
tined to bring sorrow to the Sheriff Of
Kings county. Some time ago they took
their departure from Raymond Street Jail,
where they were the guests of the Sheriff,
without notifying their host of their inten-
ton to leave, and he has apparently been
making strenuous exertions to discover
their whereabouts ever since. Some three
weeks ago it was ascertained that the two
missing boarders were enjoying country air
and mosquitoes at Passaic, N. j., and
thither the Brooklyn Sheriff and a
strong posse took their way, intending
to return with two additional members of
their party. But when they reached the
quiet Jersey town, instead of at once step
ping up to their men, laying official hands
on them and lodging them in Jail until
their return to New York could be ar
ranged, they concocted an elaborate plan
for surrounding the hotel patronized by
the ex-boarders of Raymond Street Jail,
surprising them at four o'clock in the morn
ing and carrying them back to Brooklyn
without any of the formalities of inter-
state law. Forty good men and true, all
heavily armed, were posted around the
peaceful Passaic hotel, but about two
o'clock in the morning the distinguished
guests emerged from the door of the build
ing and made ''bolt" for liberty, leaving
the forty Brooklyn detectives and deputy
sheriffs with their New Jersey aids to play
blind mans buff in the dark and to use
their revolvers on one another.
Now comes q third scene in the roaring
farce Of the Raymond street runaways
A brilliant Brooklyn deputy sheriff. who
won his spurs at Passaic, while at picnic
at Jones Wood in this city the other
night, suddenly recognized the much
wanted Porter and Irving among the guests.
Instantly he drew his revolver and, calling
Captain Gunner and his men to his assist
ance, arrested the two picnickers while they
were enjoying a cooling drink after dance.
The men protested against this interference
with their enjoyment, but the deputy was
confident of his men aud they were con-
veyed to the station house. Then kilograms
summoned the Brooklyn Sheriff and his
famous posse to New York to take posses
sion OF the prize-when 10 the captured
individuals were found not to be Porter and
Irving at all. but two respectable New York
mechanics. 1t really looks now as if the
fugitive burglars had made good invest
ment in their escape, and their rearrest
begins to appear like very improbable
event.

OBITUARY.


REV. ThOMAb II. bAhoENT, d. Ne
This well known and highly esteemed minister Of
the Methodist Episcopal Church south. died ut his
home IN Baltimore. on Thursday night, at the ripe
age Of seventy-hve years. He was suddenly stricken
with apoplexy Wednesday night and never rallied
from the attack. DIR. Sargent for hftyhve years
less actively engaged In the ministry Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. both North and South;
was presiding elder of various districts Of his
ference during much of the time. and was elected
eegate TO the General Conferences again and again.
He was member of the General Conference of 1874,
which met in New York. and did his share to precp
itate the separation OF Methodism into sectional
bodies the basis of featy to or dislike OF slavery
But Il should be- said also that since the war he has
done as much any minister or the church,
North or south, to promote fraternal relations
among the people OF the same faith and order Dr.
sargent bore to the Church very much the same
uton that Calhoun. Yancey and those men did to the
state in their day. His counsel sought on all
Important measures and his advice generally taken.
He was looked upon In many quarters as "po-
litical preacher. though we believe he held
sdered an eloquent preacher but latterly has
preached much. He was also . frequent contributor
10 the Church papers and the author OF some pub
lished essays. He accompanied the bishops CT tho
Methodist Episcopal Church South q few years ago,
when they made fraternal tour to Ses Cliff, Round
where his voice heard lin favor OF closer fra
ternai relations between the churches Of both
tions. When the Methodist Episcopal Church North
met In General Conference in Baltimore, in 1875,
Dr. Sargent attended the sessions daily, and was
honored with seat on the platform among the dig
and honored by all who knew him. He falls like Q
shock of corn fully ripe.
