THE New York Times is Republi-

THE New York Times is Republi-
can paper, but don't exactly agree'.with
the leaders of its party on the spolis
system. In commenting upon the
Senate debate on that subject, it con-
demns with scorn Senator Hale's pu-
Grille plea that the Hubbell assessment
is no worse than those made by Demo-
Gratis in the times of Pierce and Bu-
chanan. 1t says:
The Republican party has claimed
to be party of ideas and principles,
sustained by conscientious men, acting
disinterestedly for what they believed
to be the good Of the country. 1t was
asserted in various ways that the DEM
ocratic party was party largely devO-
ted to spoils- hunting, held together by
the cohesive power of public plum
der" and made up in great part OF
ignorant persons under the guidance
OF skilled but not very scrupulOus
leaders. How, then, can Democratic
practice justify Republicans in meas
ure which has no reference whatever
to principles or ideas ,and is based with
cynical candor on the idea of the spOils
system? ? If our party has degenerated
into such an organization as the Dem
ocratic party In Buchanan's time, we
may take that respectable old public
functlonary" as our exemplar, and &c
on with the dirty business in which
our self-constituted Congressional Com
mittee is engaged. But if that be oul
condition, in heavens name let US ac-
knowledge it, and give way for anoth-
er young party, which, like the Re
pubIicans of the first Lincoln cam
paign, shall expose the rottenness ol
too long lease of power, and arouse the
people as they were then aroused, tt
place the Government in purer anC
stronger hands.

Not disposed to Deal.

The troubles in the Republican
camp in Pennsylvania still continue
and the Independents manifest no dis
position to be caught in the Stalwart
trap. A Philadelphia telegram of the
14th inst, says: chairman Mckee,
of the Independent Republican State
Committee, issues call for meeting
of that body in this city on the 9th
inst. to consider the four peace propo-
sitions submitted by the regular Re-
publican Committee, and which the
Independent candidates, speaking for
themselves alone, have rejected. The
Independents of this city say the COM
mittee will doubtless reject the propo-
sition, and probably even refuse to
sanction the agreement OF candidates
Stewart, Duff, Merrick and Junkin,
to have a new convention, at which
none of the present candidates on Ell
ther ticket would be eligible for re-
nomination.

No Moro Indictnl c n Is.

WASHINGTON, July 14.-In the star
route trial, Blois, who was on the stand
yesterday, was recalled, and testified
in effect that the members of the firm
of contractors appear to have signed
the names of one another indiscrimin-
ately. The letters from Governor Pit
kin and Chief Justice Thatcher OF Col
orado were declared by witness to be
in Rerdelrs handwriting, with the
exception of the signatures, which he
was unable to identify.
The proceedings were Interrupted at
this pointby the entrance of the grand
jury. A hush fell upon the spectators
and the counsel listened eagerly as the
Clerk put the usual question, Have
you found any presentment upon the
evidence presented to you?" Foreman
Hutchinson answered, We have
found no indictment"
The Court with an air of surprise)-
" You say you have found no indict-
ment ?n
The foreman-"We have considered
the evidence presented to us, and have
found no Indictment"
Bliss-"There was no presentment."
Foreman-"We make DO present
mentn
The Court dismissed the jury until
October 9th next.
The examination OF the witness was
resumed, and he said the signatures OF
Postmaster Hall aud two othes persons
affixed to the petition relating to the
Canon City and Fort Dermott route
were in Minors handwriting.

The war waged upon Egypt by Eng
land began Tuesday, July 18th. AT
IL: 40 Wednesday, fire was opened en-
Moncrieffe Fort at Alexandria. The
first three shots greatly damaged the
batteries. At l !: 80 p. m. 8 flag Of truce
was hoisted in Alexandria. Negotia-
tions were opened, but no proposals
for surrender could be obtained from
the Egyptians. 1t is believed the flag
of truce was hoisted to give the Egyp-
tians time to escape. Large bodies Of
troops were seen excavating the bar
racks. Orders were given to open nre
on Forts Pharos and Mex, which was
done, and Fort Mex blown up. I'M
mediately another flag of truce went
up. Negotiations were again opened.
During the evening fires broke out,
and it is feared the city will be entirely
burned. Arabs interviewed estimate
the losses in Alexandria of soldiers
and citizens at 1900.
On Thursday morning it was dis
evacuated by the Egyptian troops.
The garrison had withdrawn under
the flag of truce, and left the Bedouins
to fire and pillage the city, which they
set at liberty. They attacked the Eu-
ropean quarter. Some hundreds of
Europeans and Christians were massa-
cred. Horrible atrocities were COM
mitted. A few whites fought their
way through the horde of demons
down to the beach and escaped death.
A force of sailors and mariners were
| landed. It is suspected the town aud
forts have been mined. The Khedive
and Dervisch Pasha, with their suites,
drove through the city during the af-
ternoon. Two thousand Egyptians
are entrenched at Aboukir. Admiral
Seymour has been instructed to invite
the Khedivs to assert his authority in
restoring order.
The British took possession of the
city and Admiral Seymour issued a
manifesto announcing that he has
undertaken, with the consent of the
Egyption government, the restoration
of order. Nobody is allowed to leave
the town after sunset. During the
massacre the soldiers SGT fire to the
house of Timber, merchant. A maid
servent escaped to the garden where
she remained surrounded by fire, the
soldiers laughing at her agony and
firing at her, but purposely avoiding
the infiiction of fatal injury ,preferring
to see her burn to death. Finally she
rushed through the flames and, though
wounded by bayonet thrusts, she sue
ceeded in securing refuge in the ruins,
where she was discovered by the ma
rines and handed over to the A meri-
cans. During an alarm Saturday
night $50 Bedoins at the Gabantz gate
fled before the attack of a midshipman
and twelve sailors.

The Washington Chronicle says:
THE final cause of the unpleasant
ness between England and Egypt APP
pears to be matter of debt. The ORR
entail governments are always in a
condition to borrow money if it can
be had, without caring much for the
terms of the transaction. British cap
italists, having an abundance of the
article, are always ready to lend any
quantity upon the promise of a much
larger quantity in return. When the
day of payment arrives and the money
is not forthcoming, the Indignation of
the government of "a nation of shop
keepers" is aroused, and measures are
taken to make the delinquent poten-
tate to book and settlement. It is SIM
ply mode of collecting private claims
by public belligerency-a custom to
which Great Britain has been long
addicted"

TERRIBLE DISASTER.
Paper Mill Bleacher ExpIsdes-
Man Killed.
Special to Cleveland Leader.

SSe@N'NA'
CHAGRIN FALLS, July ia terri
bic explosion occurred at the paper
mill of Adams & Company in this
place, this afternoon, about 3 o'clock.
Their largest rotary bleach" weigh
ing eight tons, burst with terrific force,
totally demolishing the bleach house,
killing one man and seriously injuring
another, and shattering the other
buildings. One-half of the bleach was
hurled through the building against
the sack factory, distance of ten rods,
crushing in the side of the building.
There were fifteen men working in the
building, but most of them were in
the east end, while the force of the
explosion was towards the west.
The news of the disaster spread rap
idly, and q large concourse Of people
speedily gathered and began clearing
away the debris in search of any un-
fortunate victims that might be buried
underneath. A man named st. John
was found scalded, burned, and bruised
about the arms and head, though there
is hope of his recovery. After half
hour of hard work, the body of Albert
hwartZentroupe was recovered from
the ruins. Life was extinct, and the
! body was cooked almost beyond recog-
milton. The wife and sister Of the un-
fortunate man were upon the ground,
and were almost distracted with grief.
One side of the building is com.
plete wreck. The damage is estimated
at S., 900.
Mr.. chwartzentroupe was the foster
father of the little Cobb heir, that has
attracted so much attention in the
courts of Cleveland of late.

DeRtEl OF MIS-. Lincoln.

A Springfield, Illinois, special of the
10Th inst, says; Mrs. Abraham Lin
coin died this evening at SIS o'clock,
at the residence of her brother-in-law,
Hon. N. w. Edwards. Since her re-
turn from Paris, France, last Fall, she
has made her home with Mr.. and Mrs.
Edwards, with the exception of a few
months which she spent in New York,
whittier she went for medical treat
ment. At the time of her return in
March she was improved in health,
but has gradually failed during the
past few months. For several weeks
her body has been completely covered
with boils. Owing to her disease and
her forced seclusiOu these have given
her much discomfort, and she was on
that account preparing for trip to the
sea shore. Yesterday her strength gave
way completely, and she became par
alyzed. She realized that she was dy-
ing, but seemed not at all concerned.
Her mind was not, however, perfectly
clear, and during The night she became
unconscious, remaining so until the
time of her death, which was peaceful
and without q struggle or sign OF
pain. She passed away as quietly as a
child goes to sleep. Hon. Robert II.
Lincoln, Secretary of War, was tele-
graphed the sad news, and replied that
he would leave Washington tonight
reaching this city Tuesday morning

WITH all our protection it appears

IN a speech in response to serenade

IN speech in response to serenade
given to Roscoe Conkling at his resi-
dence in Utica, on the evening of the
1lth inst, Mr.. Conkling said:
"There is much in the present con-
dition OF the country to make men
think together, act together, and feel
together as to general and public mat
ters, and to bring men toward each
other who have thought apart in the
days and years that have gone. Old
party issues have largely passed away,
at least as dividing party lines. We
are in period of peace and great pros
perity, but let us never forget that
prosperity often tests and tries the
wisdom of nations and men more even
than adversity. The tendency is to
spend largely. The tendency in the
Government is to make profuse, per-
haps lavish, appropriations of the pub
lie money. In the affairs of govern
ment and in the affairs of business,
unless greatly mistake the lesson,
the need and the admonition of the
hour are frugality, foresight and care.
We have more need Of the brake than
of steam in good many ways just
uOW,n
