II Democrat allows the Republi
can party to use his name in order to
defeat the Democratic party, is he
doing himselfo or his friends justice7
Is it tenable and defensive posi-
tion, one that he can stand upon in
the future? We have no ground Of
complaint against an out and out Re
publican, and even a so-called Inde-
pendent can offer some justification,
because he deceives nobody of any
intelligence or capacity for thought.
But the man who, in his anxiety for
Office, allows himself to be placed in d
false position, and used by the oppo-
sition party for political purposes, will
discover his error, whether he is tem-
porarily successful or not.

FOREIGN.

LONDON, July 3l.-The Times says.
I'VE have ample reason for believing
that the expedition ofthe Porte, now
determined!to send to Egypt, has no
other object than to thwart and oppose
the efforts of England, now making
to restore order there. A co-opera-
ton might be accepted if the Turks
should send a moderare contingent to
act under orders of the British COM
mander's obvious design. Turkey is
to elude England altogether, and to
maintain that we have no right in
Egypt, 1t is therefore, mere triAing
to continue negotiations for the pur-
pose Of getting such worthless pledges
Of good faith as a proclamation against
Arab Pasha. 1t is for. the British
Cabinet to show it the gravity of the
situation and to devise measures for
guarding the national interests and
for the vindicstion of the national
honor, both of which are in serious
jeopardy"
BRISTOL, July 3l.-The steamship
Bristol has been towed into Avon
mouth, disabled.
ALEXANDRIA, July 3l,-Arabi
Pasha's whole family is located sin a
village few miles from Ismaila.
Midshipmau DeChRir, of the iron
clad Alexandria, was sent to Ramleh,
Saturday morning, with a message,
and has not since been heard Of.
An unconfrmed report prevails
that the garrison of Aboukir has sur
rendered to the British.
A traveller just arrived from Sioult
reports that Arab Pasha has issued a
manifesto declaring that Khedive
Tev6k had sold Egypt to the British
and retired to England. Arab has,
therefore, ordered the people to obey
him until properly enlightened to find
a wOrthier Khedive.
Six Mudirs of upper Egypt have
been ordered to supply five hundred
horses and six hundred and fifty
camels to the force of Arab Pasha.
Murders are constantly occurring in
the railway trains. The mob searches
every train for Christians.
Arab Pasha is still parleying with
the Khediye. The latter has intimatet
that no terms will be acceptable exceT
an unconditional surrender.
1t seems that Midshipman DeChail
stepped beyond the lines and was taker
prisoner.
CoNsTANTINoPIE, July 3l.-Lort
Dufferin says the Porte, by its mac
tivity, has compelled England t
assume alone the task of restoring
order 10 Egypt, but that England viii
accept Turkish cooperation, provided
the Porte will make an unambiguoul
| declaration of its intention.
ALEXANDRIA, July 3l.-The com
mander of the German gunboa
Moewe, at Port Said, is instructed OF
no account to land troops, but, i
necessary, to take German subjects
aboard his vessel.
| Detachment have landed at Ismails
from the English and French men Of

THURSDAY, Jan. 26-P.M VI.
Better prices for American railways in London

sive to yesterdays better figures in the home mar
kets; the fact that the Bank of England rate was
not advanced above per cent-which, however
was not expected to be advanced in well i'm
formed quarters the announcement that the
Boston and Albany Railroad had fallen in
line in marking up its schedule on West
bound freight to rates about equal to
two-thirds of the actual rates that
were secured year ago; and the change in owner
ship of the st. Louis and San Francisco Railroad
which was announced in this mornings papers as
an accomplished facial these various causes were
made rseful and worked for all they were worth to
influence the opening speculation in stocks to-day
Hence. opening figures generally were simply con-
tinuaion of the rally which was in progress
when the market closed last night. But the rally
eliminated within the first half hour OF business,
and all the succeeding rallies that followed during
the remainder Of the day were noticeable for their
progressive weakness, each succeeding reaction
from the decline being less spirited and OF smaller
dimensions than its predecessor. Unquestionably
there is large speculation desired if not IN progress
THE present length of the list of stocks dealt in
that the speculation is confined within
too small nutshell to permit OF
its expansion beyond certain clrcumscribed limits.
As rule the market closes lower than 1t did last
evening, but there are exceptions The trunk lac
