What H5elxs IsosI,o yhouebt.

CAIRO, Nov. 2S.-The last dispatches re-
ceived from Gen. Hicks, show that the
governor of the Soudan and the military
council were of the opinion that his force was
inadequate; that he could not spare men
enough to establish stronger posts of COM
munication, and that weak posts would be
surrounded and starved out by the Arabs.
Gen, Hicks, however, believed himself able
to undertake the expedition, but it appears
that he afterward indicated his regret at not
having waited for reinforcements.

nomination of Tilden and Hendricks depends
on Mr.. Tilden's health and inclination. Ifht

of uncertainty hanging over the whole matte

CINCINNATI, Nov 2S.-The Enquirer's
special from Washington says: The arrival
of ex-Speaker Keifer has given only passing
curiosity to the suggestion of William Wal
ter. Phelps that be withdraw as the Repub-
lican candidate for the speakership.
Those who are inclined to aid Phelps
in his efforts to reform the Republican party
are coquetting with Judge Kelley, of Pennsyl-
vania, to be candidate against Keifer The
movement, however, has nothing behind it.
Nearly every Republican member who has
thus far arrived in Washington has pro-
nouuced in favor of the denomination of
Gen. Keifer, and it is safely assumed he will
be the caucus nominee.

NoEaNuence Whatever

Wall street writer, discussing the effects of
the Egyptian troubles upon the markets
says: The sober truth however, is that the
victory of Ell Mahdi is important only in its
future possibilities, and can have no more in
huence on the price of American grain and
provisions than the declaration of war be-
tween France and China. The financial
markets of the whole world may naturally be
affected by both, but not an extra bushel of
wheat nor an extra barrel of pork can
possibly be demanded from US on account
of these wars for years to come

PURCELL's DEBTS
Diocesan Property Not Liable for Pay.

CINCINNATI Oct. 1.-The Hamilton county
district court this afternoon decided the case
of j. b. Manux, assignee of j. b PARCEL ct
al, which was an action of the assignee to oh.
tain the judgment of the court as to the
liability of the diocesan church property to
pay the debts of the late Archbishop Purcell
Three hours were occupied in the delivery Of
the opinion, which was read by Judge Smith.
Out of the 200 pieces Of property syld by the
archbishop II were elected Tor trial as repre-
sentative OF all. Nine were churches, the
others included the arch-episcopM residence
aud school, ST. Mary's seminary, Cummins-
vile orphan asylum and ST. Jo'nph's ccmc-
terry. The court found that in the case of
the churches though the title WAS in fec
simple in Archbishop Purcell yet they were
built from money raised by the members OF
different congregations aud the title was in
the archbishop, by ryas1n of the rules of
the church, which in such a case as this the
court was bound to regard that the arch
bishop held the title only as trustee for the
uses OF the congregation aud property so held
could not be subjected to The payment of the
debts Of the archbishop. In the case of one
church tic court found that the evidence
showed the archbishop had advanced some
money and the church was liable for that
amount to the assignee.
