ABOUT INsraUcrIoNs.

The SENTINEL has not hitherto favored
instructing Nevada's delegates to the
Cincinnati Convention. New York,
Pennsylvania and other great States
where Mr.. Tilden's friends were clearly
in the majority saw proper to ignore in
structions, and this journal has thought
that it might be wise for the Democracy
of Nevada to follow their example.
Within the last few days, however, facts
have come to our knowledge which seem
to demand that instructions be given at
Winnemucca. We allude to the effort
that is being made in the western part of
the State in behalf of Judge Field. Let
tiers have been flying around quite freely
Of late soliciting aid in electing a nom
instructed delegation mainly composed
of the few admirers in this State of the
California aspirant. This thing will not
do at all. Field has no following ON this
coast, and especially in Nevada, and is
entitled to no support from this direction
in the National Convention. The Times
Review has the following
We have reliable information that an
attempt is being made in the western por-
ton of the State to pack the Winnemucca
Convention in such q manner as to secure
o delegation from Nevada to Cincinnati in
favor Of Field. There are strong indica-
tions, moreover, that money is being used
to accomplish that result. Great industry
il being exerciced in securing proxies,
some of which, we are informed, have been
promised by delegates and those likely to
become such, under various representa-
tions other than the real motive actuating
the solicitations. Probably nine-tenths Of
the Democrats Of this State favor the nom-
ination Of Mr.. Tilden, and a delegation
favorable to any other candidate, and es-
p~ecially Judge Field, could only be elected
by such Misrepresentation and tricbery as
we have reason to believe is being re-
sorted to.
The Times Review demands instruc-
tions for Tilden. We say instruct for
anybody, rather than to permit this Field
plot to succeed. Personally the writer
is for Tilden, first, last and all the time,
believing him to be the most available
candidate in America for the Presidency.
Under the circumstances, the issue will
have to be made ~squarely and openly at
Winnemucca. A Field delegation is not
to be thought Of for a moment, and any
hocus-pocus plan which has for its object
the cheating of the party out of its choice
must be firmly met and squelched. As
between Tilden and Thurman and Hem
bricks and Bayard, we would have no
particular objection to our delegation 60
ing on uninstructed, having faith that
they would naturally fall in with Tilden /;
but when it is attempted to wiring this
man Field in on us as the choice of the
Nevada Democracy, we say by all means
pile on the instructions SO thick that
there will be no room for lodging them.

TBy Telegraph to the sentinel.l
LONDON, May 15.-James Card, a ag-
ricultural authority, in a letter on British
agricultural prospectus and American COM
petition, says: Nothing like the present
depression in agricultural interests has
been seen since the repeal of the common
laws. In nine years there have been seven
defective harvests in England, where the
bulk of the wheat crop is grown. There
has been lost in three years one-fourth
more than the whole years wheat crop.
The loss to the growers is more than go
900, 900 pounds, with no compensation in
higher prices. The introduction Of foreign
meal and cereals is Of immense benefit to
the consumptive class of Europe.
LONDON, May 1.-THE Globe says: We
understand that in view Of the complica-
tions with China the Russian Government
has telegraphed to the authorities beyond
the Ural Mountains to place all strategeti-
cal roads in q condition for the passage of
troops and stores. Half a million roubles
has been assigned for improving the high
ways from Crenburg to Central Asia.

WAITING TO HEAR FROM HIM.

Our call upon Mr.. Garfield, says the
St. Louis Republican of the LIST instant,
TO make known officially, in simple,
straightforward Hancock style, what he
proposes to do, if elected, with Southern
war claims, is, we are glad to see, taken
up and repeated by several independent
journals. That the Republican candi-
date should at least say as much as the
Democratic candidate has said on the
subject, is evident, from the fact that his
party, during its period of Congressional
majority, actually paid out of the Public
Treasury over 500, OO0, 900 of these
claims, and were preparing to pay more
when the Democrats stopped the BUSH
ness. II further evidence is needed, it
| will be found in the following extract
from a speech made by Mr.. Garfield in
| Congress less than twelve months g
"Do gentlemen know that (~leaving out
| all the border States) there were fifty rcgi-
ments and seven companies of white men
in our army fighting for the Union from
| the States that went into rebellion? Do
| they know that from the single State Of
Kentucky more Union soldiers fought I'M
der our flag than Napoleon took into the
battle OF W~aterloo-more than Wellington
took with all the allied armies against Ma
| poleon? Do they remember that 1876, 600
| colored men fought under our flag against
| the rebellion and for the Union, and that
| Of that number 80, 900 we're from the
| States that went into the rebellionp To
| say that they were enemies, that they had
no rights, and that when they came out Of
| the war re should not pay them and their
families for all proper losses they suffered
in aid OF u Government, is what I had
hoped no man on either side Of the House
would say. l am glad to know that the
gentlemen who fought against us do not
say it-not one Of them. 1t remained for
one Of our soldiers to say that nothing
ought to be paid to any man, however
loyal, II he came from the South. In my
Judgment that is in the highest degree IN
just"
According to this calculation there are
at least 200, 600 ex-soldiers in the South
who are still to be paid for services al
legged to have been rendered. Their
claims range from SOU to $5,OO0 each /;
so if the Garfield programme should be
carried out, the taxpayers would suffer
to the tune of about 81, 900, 600, 900. Is
it unreasonable then, for those interested
in the national pocket to demand Of the
Republican candidate an Endorsement or
reputation of the views expressed by
him a year ago? A thousand millions of
dollars may seem insignificant to him,
but to those who will have to pay it
there is very considerable significance in
it. Hancock has set himself right be-
fore the country on this important ques-
ton, and now the country waits to hear
from Garfield. How long will it have to
wait

treated and threatened, all to no purpose.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, October 6.-The note
communicated to the ambassador on Mon
day, states that the Porte, in yielding to
the continued pressure exercised by the
Powers, has resolved to deal with all pend
ing questions, and will endeavor to induce
the Albanians to surrender Dulcigno. As
regards Greece, the Porte proposes o from
tier line running north of Velo and south
Of Larissa, Mitzopo and Janina, and ter
minating at the mouth of the river Ana.
The reforms already promised will be in
troduced in Asia Minor in three months; the
reforms in Europe will be carried out as
far as compatible with the integrity Of the
Empire. The foreign bondholders will be
invited to send delegates to CONSTANT
nople, to arrive at an arrangement by
which certain revenues may be assigned
for the payment Of interest on the bonds.
The Porte, as a condition OF these reforms,
insists upon the abandonment Of the naval
demonstration.
