Old Times Come Again.

Congressman Lowe of Alabama, for
merly of the confederate army, has been
engaged in one of the happy practices Of
old lime sou bern ehivalry-that is as neal
as he dared to in view of present laws on
dueling, thus illustrating that kind of re-
construction which nominally obeys law
while really violating it.
The origin of the trouble was an inter.
view with some newspaper correspondent
who reported Lowe as saying that Gen.
John A. Logan raised or undertook tC
raise three regiments for confederate serv-
ice at the beginning of the rebellion. Sem
ator Logan published a card saying that
the reported statement was Il lie.
Lowe then began sending letters to
Logan inviting him finally to name some
place where he would receive Il challenge.
Logon paid no attention to the letters OF
the irate southerner, who at last publishes
his card saying he will not post Logan as
liar because he is senator, nor as Il
coward, etc., etc. Thus Lowe has sent nc
challenge and has excused himself from
" posting his adversary, and by this gets
glory with the chivalrous folks who be-
lieve in the "code," at the same time
sneaking out of legal responsibility.
Lowe now proposes to prove that Logan
did raise or attempt to raise soldiers to
serve in the confederate service; and we
are little clrious to see how he and To-
gan will come out on that point. The
story against Logan is an old one and has
certainly been extensively current among
men of all parties in the west. We always
supposed ourselves that while Logan was a
brave soldier for the Union cause and did
valiant service. that he did at tho opening
of the rebellion contemplate fighting for
the other side, and shall be very glad to b.
disabused Of believing so wrong a thing
of him if it be untrue. Certainly he show
ed good sense in refusing to fight Lowe.
His courage has been well proved hereto
fore.

London, sept. 16.-The Times says
an extraordinary controversy is now
alarming Europe on the supposed mis-
understanding between Gortschakoff
and Bismarck shows what dangerous
stuff is all around US. The ring Of in
terested SPECTATORS in the constellation
seem to have half pursuaded the illus
trious statesmen that the greatness of
one mighty empire is incompatible with
the greatness of the other. For the
Russian and Germans at present the
difiiculty appears to be to manufacture
reasons for flying at each others throat
Their interests are in no respect oppos-
ed, neither owns territory coveted by
the other. We believe much of this
flonrishing of swords will be found to
be merely exercises of fencing schools
but It's time masters come forward and
reassure mistrustful Europe.

London, Sept. 15.-Every special dis
patch received from Afghanistan reit-
crates the complaints concerning the
transportation difficulties. A telegram
from the viceroy shows that Shutgar-
den pass was only completely occupied
Thursday evening. AS the necessity
of occupying this point was urgent and
the British troops were stationed only
twenty-five miles distant, it is inferred
that the Indian government through a
desire to economize at the close of the
last campaign must have utterly dis
banded and disorganized the transport
service.
Camels have become practically ex-
tinct in the Kuram valley because of
the great mortality among them.
The additional regiments which Gen.
Roberts telegraphed for from Ali Kheyl
are to strengthen his lire of communi-
cations, as tribes, though not hostile,
show great excitement.
The force which is to be advanced on
Cabul will consist of $500 Europeans
and 5000 natives. The attention OF
the commissariat is almost exclusively
devoted to supplying this force.
Other columns will be held in reserve
for the present. There is a large pro-
portion of sick among the European
troops on the frontier.

CHISHOLM MURDER.
THE TRIAL A DREARY FARCE.
Chinese Gamblers-AIaska Mining

Other Interesting Tel
egrams.

New York, Sept. 16.-Gen Stewart
L. Woodward, who went with Mrs.
Chisholm to attend the trial Of Henry
j. Gully, for the murder of Cornelia
Chisholm, states that the trial was a
dreary farce from beginning to end.
Judge Hamm did his duty fearlessly
and justly. Thomas s. Ford, district
attorney, did his duty well and bravely.
He thinks the prosecution made out a
clear and complete case of murder.
The charge of the judge was distinct,
direct and positive, and yet the jury
were only out long enough to take one
ballot, and write the verdict. He says:
I do not know how to account for this
verdict on any grounds that are not
discreditable, either to the intelligence
or moral sense of the jury, and do
not think that the nine white men on
the jury were lacking in intelligence.
The three negroes evidently possessed
neither brains nor courage. The whites
were all democrats and so were two of
the negroes. The jury was fairly
drawn. The verdict does not repre-
sent the feeling of great mass of the
negroes or white republicans, nor yet
of the small minority of sober and law
abiding democrats. These three classes
combined constitute a clear and decided
majority Of the citizens and legal voters
of the country. / am sadly and reluct-

Tilden Thrown overboard .

New York, Sept. 18.-Efforts con-
tinue in high quarters to restore
harmony in the New York democracy
some way or other. Rumors have been
afioat for several days to the effect that
ultimately Robinson and Kelly will
both withdraw. Indeed it is now said
the nomination OF Clarkson N. Potter
for lieutenant governor was made ex-
pressly with a view to such an arrange
ment.
Meanwhile the party line is drawn
pretty strictly and Kelly's detection, it
is generally conceded will elect Cor
nell.
Many republicans will vote for Rob-
inson to spite Conkling, and many will
vote for Kelley to spite Tilden. Still if
Kelley don't get half of what he claims
he can get, Cornell's election is fore
gone conclusion.
The democracy throughout the union
are alarmed at the loss of the great
state of New York, which is imminent
IS the parties now stand. $500
The absolute throwing overheard OF
Tilden is likely to be one of the for
tunes of the compromise, if one is
made at all.

JeH Davis Candidacy.

Washington, Sept. 16.--A letter from
Jefferson Davis to the editor of Mis-
sissippi paper, replying to one asking If
he would consent to become a candi-
date for the United States senate, has
lately been published, which prominent
Mississippians now in Washington say
sets at rest forever the suggestion that
Davis will again represent his state in
either branch of congress. His refusal,
however, is very mildly expressed. He
does not ''desire'' to be elected; does
not "wish'' to re-enter the senate; is
"averse" to public station, and his
name will not with his consent be in
cluded among. the candidates. The
reason alleged for his refusal is that he
regards the doctrine of state rights
essential to the liberty and safety of
the country, and fears any advocacy of
that doctrine by him would only dam
age it in the eyes of the people, on ac-
count of the prejudices in the north
against him.

GOOD FOR SHERMAN.
He Sends Rousing Patriotic Letter to
North Carolina,


New York, Sept. 16.-A special from
Salisbury, gives the reply of Gen.
Sherman to the invitation to the pro-
posed reunion of the survivors of the
federal and confederate armies there
on the 23d of Oct. He says: The time is
too remote for me to make a promise,
but assure you it would be most
agreeable to me, personally and social
iy to meet you on any suitable occasion.
There sno use of my mincing terms,
whenever and wherever the honest
men Of North Carolina meet to allay
sectional party animosities and to cul-
tivate feelings of fraternity and re-
spect for fellow citizens of the United
States, it viii be to me most tempting
to come. But 1t must not be construed
as asserting to the proposition that
the confederate men and union men
were alike worthy of celebration for
the terrible history of '61-65. Iwould
much prefer to come on some civic oc-
casion when all are absolutely equal,
alike interested In the present and fu-
ture glory of our common country.
1t would be strange sight for Gen.
Sherman to cheer the victories Of his
enemies and respond to the claim that,
because the soldiers of North Carolina
were brave and true to their/state and
section, their cause was as sacred as
