gently undulating but may be travelled with

RECENT dispatches from Turkestan an
nounce the death of Shere Ali, the Ameer
of Cabul. The young Prince Yakoob. Khan
will succeed his father as ruler of the king
dom, though lesser lights will no doubt rise
to claim it as theirs. Yakook Khan is the
rightful heir and is in possession, which
guarantees to him the throne, but the pros
pect of inter dissentions will have some in
fluence on the British movement in that
country and will probably strengthen her
course. The people at present are'lnuch in
clined against England, and a favorable
movement on the part of Russia would ma
terially change the order Of things. 1t is
even estimated that if Russia would send
the Afghans one man, such as Gen. Ghour-
ka, to take command Of the armies now in
the field, the invaders would be easily ami
hjlated.. The Afghans seem to have plenty
of. cannon and cavalry, and are deficient on
~ in a competent general and had the
Ameer have lived England would most
probably have met with another South AT
rican disaster, but as it is the new ruler will
most probably make overtures to the
British, in order to secure to him..
self the throne against any opposition
and Cabul become a dependent power j; that
lie will either do this or seek Russian aid is
almost certain. Shouldih he turn upon En-
gland his armies directed by Russian skill,
the present English armies in that country
will be routed, and the war which to En-
gland has been a succession of almost blood
less victories, turn out to be lohg.and
bloody.

from Our Own Correspondent
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 8, '79.
A rollicking, easy-going fellow was
Howell Cobb, of Georgia, Buchan-
ans Secretary of the Treasury. He
was not a great financier, as the de-
plorable condition of the National
Exchquer in 1860 attested; but he was
fond of horse races and chicken fights
and was often known to lay
aside the weightier duties of the
Treasury Department to witness cir
Gus. Old Treasury employees are full
of interesting "reminiscences regarding
Cobb. It was in the "high jerks"
period when he was q power in Demo
cratic circles here. He was the life of
old Bucks Cabinet, and was a jester
of no mean pretentions. His anecdotes
are remembered, and during lunch
hours, the old clerks repeat them with
great glee. Among other Georgians
whom he brought here and put in
Office was a young man from Column
bus, who had a great fondness for cats,
and often had two or three felines
mewing about his Office in the Trea-
sury. When South Carolina seceeded,
this young man became FESTIVE for the
army of Calhoun's Republic, which
was making preparations to reduce
Fort Sumter, locking his loom and
taking awav the kew
About q week after his departure
Cobb happened to pass his room,
when his Olfactories were disturbed by
the inordidate stencil emanating there
from, Upon breaking open the door,
two dead cats were found, which had
persisted from hunger, the first vic
TINS OF the rebellion. Many Of your
readers have doubtless heard of Judge
Underwood, the elder, of Rome, Ga, q
celebrated wit, and lawyer of great
eminence. Well, the Judge had a son
named John, who although at present
one of the worthiest and ablest of
Georgians, was in his younger days g.
gay aud festive character. Not being
able to restrain him at all times at
home, and with a view to intoxicating
within him habits Of economy, his
father concluded to send him to
Washington, and place him under the
surveillance of his old friend Cobb,
then Speaker of the House.
The old gentleman sent Cobb lib
eral sum Of money with which to de-
fray Johns expenses, and charged
him not to let him know that he had
doneso, thereby hoping to induce John
to lead q more economical life since he
was to live at Cobb's expense. John
appeared at Washington after a pleas
ant journey from Rome. and registered
at the Kirkwood, where his friend
Cobb was stopping. After dinner one
day Cobb took his protege out for 3
walk, as he said, "Lo show him the
sights of the Capital" They had not
gone far when Cobb espied Beau Hick-
man across the street, when the fol-
lowing colloquy occurred:

Hiek man.

TILDEN WHEELS AROUND TO
FIGHT.

The New York sam, of recent
date, publishes an interview with
one of Tilden's warmest friends,
and one whom the San says,
it does not give his name,
speaks from authority. The utter
ances of this gentleman, whoever he
may be, gives warning to the Dem
ocratic Tildenites that they must
call halt On the idea that Tilden
has been killed by the New York
Tilden election. He says, in subs
stance, that unless he be the candidate
in 1880, he will take no interest in
the election, and New York will go
Republican by $4,000 majority.
He calls attention to the fact
that New York has not gone
Democratic since 1856, except
when the campaign was d.
rected by Tilden brains, and the
machine creased by Tilden's money.
He adds, furthermore, that Tilden
holds Seymour, Herman and Church,
personally responsible for the Tam
many bolt, and declares that he
made all three of these gentlemen;
that he it was who carried the State
for Seymour in 1868, and elected
Herman to the Senate. He declares
that Bayard will not have Til
den's support in case he manages
to obtain the nomination.
This, then, is the position /: Til
den, with New York at his back,
will control the nomination. New
York is the key of the arch of
Democratic success, and if it be lost,
the arch falls. If he can not have
his own way, he will play the part
of Boss Kelley and give the Presi-
dency to the Republicans. In this
case, the solid South, with its 1873
votes, no longer becomes the ruling
element of the country, but instead
it is New York, with its IS. Unless
the West and South are brought to
terms by the altitude of the great
reformer, there is no chance for bis
obtaining the two-thirds vote in the
convention, required by Democratic
precedents, and then will come the
bolt.
But suppose he does obtain the
nomination. The ghost of John
Kelly is in the path, and the results
of the last election show that it is q
dreadfully solid, substantial kind o.
a ghost; fully as successful as 6
brick wall. It will be discovered
that there is not much chance fol
Democracy next year.
