A NEW ELECTRIC LIGHT.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 30.-An
appeal has been filed in the district
supreme court by ex-senator Thomas
S. Clingman, of Ashville, n. O.,
against the decision of the commits
oner of patents refusing him a
patent for an improvement in electric
ligh S.
The device sought to be patented is
a sphere of zinconia combined with a
luninum of magnesia lime or selica
and glazed with pure zinconia. This
is sustained by two p1eatinous wires
and gives light by it's resistance to
the electric fluid and consequent in.
condecence, it being infusible and
incombustible. The reasons OF the
examiners at the patent office for re
fusing the patent were that the
claims conflicts with patent issued
to T. A. Edison, September 10Th
1879, for light from incandescent
zi~conia, and another to one Jenkins
March 4th, 1879. for platinous sup
ports, &c The case has been placeC
on the calendar for the Septembe,
term of court.

EASTERN WAR CLOUD.

LONDON, Aug. 31.-A recent
Constantinople dispatch says that
the sultan would yield Immediately
to the wishes of the powers if he
believed they were about to use CO.
ercive measures, but unfortunately
in the official world the conviction is
gaining ground that the extreme
limit to which the powers are pre-
pared to go is in a harmless naval
demonstration, and that in no case
will physical force be employed for
the present. There IS little hope of q
conciIiatory attitude being brought
about by pecuniary necessities. Fol-
the last three months the govern
ment has been receiving considerable
sums from sheep tax and fol
some months hence, with the rev.
enue, will probably enable it to meet
pressing demands.
A Constantinople correspondent o1
the Daily Telegraph says he thinks
the porte will succeed III settling the
Montenegrin difficulty, but that il
will hot yield on the subject of the
/ Greek 'front.' T.
The Telegraph says we'll informed
correspondent writes he is convinced
! that if the naval demonstration takes
place, it will be the sigoal for gen
eral rising,
The Albanian caufs declare tina
when the ships appear tne Albanian
will enter Montenegro and retak'

The Turkish commander report
that the state of affairs is very crit
C i and that the Albanians are mucl
excited. Ria and Pacha's house
are guarded by fifteen hundred sol
diers.

BUTLER NOT A CANDIDATE.

BosToN, Aug. 30.-In a speech at
Fanuel hall last night Gen. Butler
declared that he is not nor should
not be candidate for any office,
elective or appointive, at this cleo
ton, or under the incoming admin
istration. He explained his present
position as caused by the recreancy
of therepubl'can administration to the
platform of 1875 and their desertion
of the negro in the south after prom
ising to protect him, and said: Nov
then it is because I am a friend Of
the negro; it is because ] desire to
stand for him; it is because / desire to
do all that in me lies to aid him in
the difficult position in which he is
placed by attainment-so unpre-
pared of his citizenship-that I now
propose to act with the democratic
party. They at least can protect
him, and I believe will do so. The
industrial condition of the south
shows that the negro is necessary as
q laborer, must be protected, and
will be as soon as political antago-
nism d es out. I freely confess to
you that l desire to be in such rela-
ton of political kindness and
courtesy with the democratic party
that I may be permitted to point out,
on behalf of the colored men, what
[ deem would be for the best inter
est of all, and what [ doubt not will
be their wish to do in his behalf. "
Gen. Butler then attacked the claim.
of republicans that the present
prosperity of the country is due to
their administration. He claimed
that prosperity was an act of God,
ard that the bankrupt condition of
the business depression a few years
ago was caused by the resumption
act; that the republicans had legis-
lated the American flag off the
ocean and have negotiated us out Of
all our fishing rights in the northern
seas. The republican party, in a
long lease of power, has become cor
rupt and thele can be no hope Of
change under Garfield The general
eloquently vindicated the memory of
I Oakes Ames, aspe,sed in defence of
republican candidates.
The meeting was very largely
attended and the general largely ap-
piauGcd.

AYOOB KHAN ROUTED.

LONDON, Aug. 3O.-Gen. Roberts,
in his message to Lord Harrington,
states that he arrived at Khelati
Ghilzai, on the 23rd. He had
abundant supplies and could make
his forage last until the first of Sep.
tember. He would rest on the 24th
and start on the 25th and hoped to
telegraph from Candahar by the
29th. Gen. Roberts left Ghuznee
on the 18th and had marched 1856
miles in eight days. His march had
been unopposed. He had obtained
plenty Of supplies and forage and
the cavalry and artillery horses We're
in good order.
The Standard this morning says
the garrisons of Khilat [. Ghilzai
and Candahar will increase General
Roberts force to $4,000 men. OF
these 1000 will probably remain in
the citadel at Candahar, leaving A.
600 available troops for the attack on
Ayoob Khan.
The Times Quitta dispatch dated
to-day says: The News from Can
dahar is to the 26th inst. When

LONDON, Aug. 31.-In the house of
commons last night the debate on
the constabulary vote was resumed.
Mr.. ParneH asked if Mr.. Foster, in
the event of landlords continuing
to abuse their power, would advise
the summoning of parliament during
the recess to pass law protecting
tenants. Mr.. Foster did not expect
that it would be necessary during
the winter to ask parliament to pass
a coercion bill or interfere for the
protection of tenants, but if he were
convinced that the law as it stood
was the instrument of injustice he
would not be an instrument
for enforcing it. The constabu.
larry vote, after a brief debate,
was passed by vote Of los to rs.
The house shortly after rassed all
remaining rates of estimates.
In the house of lords the ground
game bill passed it's second reading
by vote of 68 to 20. The lords
acted ON the advices of Lord Bea-
consfeld, who advocated co1sidera-
BILE amendment in the comm .ttee
rather than a rejection, Although
he objected to the bill, he thought
the lords would be taking up fee
BILE position, when, on the eve of a
constitutional struggle, in joining
issue with the house of commons on
such secondary question.
The vote by which the house Of
commons passed the Irish constabu-
larry bill last night was los to 29, in
stead of 105 to 76, as before an
nounced. The government majority
was rs. Two Englishmen, Joseph
Cowen, member for Newcastle-on-
Tyne, and Charles Bradlaugh, mem
ber for Northampton, both radicals,
voted in the minority. About TWEEN
ty conservatives supported the gov
ernment. There was no attempt at
distractions.
