News comes by way of Constantinople of a
great insurrection of Mahometans in kashgar
against the Chinese. A dispatch from Tegt-
meyer reports King Theebau, rendered arrogant
by the easy suppression Of the rebellion under
Prince Nyoungoke, has been preparing to make
war on the British. Over 1,000 Burmese troops
have arrived at the frontier, and they daily ex-
pect to be reinforced by 1000 more. A message
is also expected from the king demanding an in
demnity from the British for losses Of Burmese
subjects from Nyoungokes expedition or the
troops will Immediately cross the frontier Two
companies Of infantry have been ordered ND to
protect exposed villages.
Owing to the urgent representations Of the
French and German ambassadors, the Porte re.
solved to surrender Dulcigno to the Montene-
grins, and thus the speck of war in the east
has disappeared.
The Persian town Of Marandile and four
large villages have been pillaged by the Kurds
and the inhabitants massacred. The Persian
government has ordered q large force to the
scene Of the outrage.
An accidental fire broke ont at Evanja on the

surrounded the jail and burned it, Watching

Respecting the nomination for a third
term, Grant said that no man felt more
relieved at the final result in the Chica-
20 convention than himself; that he
Vot,M hare declined to permit the use Of
his name had it not been for the eharac-
ter of the men who were urging it; that
he would have accepted nomination
because he believed that he could break
up the "solid south, as lifelong Dem
ocrats had given him strong assurances
of their support; that his visits abroad,
and his study of public questions, he
thought, would have enabled him to ad-
vance the commercial interests of the
country, particularly in relation to Mexico.
Of Garfield, Gen. Grant said: :" He
"is q great man; he has few intellectual
.'peers in public life; he is every way
worthy"
Of Conkling the general said: "I re-
"gard him as the greatest mind in pub
"l lie life, or that has been in public life
"since the beginning of the gove
:" He has the advantage of having been
" trained from his very infancy. He had
"a father Of unusual ability, who early
"taught him to reason, and correct his
"errors. He has grown to great pro-
"porticns. His cold manner, he said,
is only external, and disappears upon
close acquaintance, when it is discovered
that "he has true greatness and simplic-
city"
Regarding the result of the campaign
he said that he is hopeful, but that he
expects to see the most gigantic frauds
by the Democrats in the states Of
Indiana and New York, and that
they will seek pretexts for throwing the
election into the house if possible; and
in the eveht of getting 1t there would
throw out Republican members enough
to give them control Of majority of the
states.
In case of Hancock's election by the
people, the general said that the North
would submit quietly, but closely watch
proceedings, and in case things should
go wrong, the northern legislatures
would be convened and their representa-
tives instructed either to resign or to re-
sist the solid south. This is remedy
for the evils which are feared from the
possible southern domination which has
not been before suggested, but which
might be made very effective.
The frankness and directness Of this
statement of his views are something
remarkable in one usually 90 reticent as
General Grant, and show very clearly
how grave he considers the political situ-
alton. The utter absence Of any soreness
over his defeat in the convention, and
the heartiness with which he gives the
support of his influence to Garfield,
speak the real greatness Of the man, and
set most notable example Of fealty to
principle which many in humber sta
tions might follow with great advantage
to themselves and the public.

A Seattle, wv. T.) dispatch Of the 9Th inst,
says: "Tuesday last, on Baker river, Anderson
Evarts was attacked in his cabin by two Indians,
both Of whom he killed. The difficulty arose
from Evarts charging the Indians with stealing
from him. Evarts and his partner abandoned
the rancho and the Indians sent out runners to
summon . grand council. The settlers are
much alarmed aud are gathering At Pleasanton's
ranche."

Fourth cavalry passing through here to-day,
stated that At Rock Cli6 the report reached him
that Jackson, the man who shot the Indian .
few days ago was found dead at the stake.
This tallies with the Indian threats and is gem
orally believed. Great excitement prevails and
citizens threaten vengeance"
