War Excitement in London.

LONDON, Jan. 19.--The excite
ment caused yesterday by the unu.
sual occurrence of a council at the
war Office on Sunday was greatly
increased to-day by a report that the
government had determined to resist
any attempt on the part of Turkey to
occupy any portion of Egypt or land
troops in that country. There is con-
siderable hustle and excitement at
the war office to-day, and orders
have been sent to Chatham, Port
mouth and Woolwich has caused
much activity at those naval stations.
Another battalion of troops at Malta
has been ordered to embark at ONE
on the steamship Poondh for Alex
andria, and other troops are under
orders to he in readiness to move at
moments notice. The indications
all point to stirring events in Egypt.
and there is no doubt that the minis
try is determined not to allow Tur-
key to interfere in Egyptian affairs
by placing an armed force In any
portion of Egypt.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., Jan. 10, 1885.
Whatever difference of opinion
there may he about the culpability
of General Grant i'm connection with
the financial Shipwreck that overlook
him last summer, there is no miStak-
ing the fact that he has very firm
hold on the sympathy Of those who
are abundantIy able to practically
demonstrate it. The debate in the
Senate the other day brought out from
several Democratic Senators the most

not find it in his heart to vote in

qualities of the great soldier. Mr..
Edmunds, who engineered the meas
ure through the Senate, was over
come by emotion when he spoke of
the financial calamitips that had over .
taken the ex-PresidPnt, and his ap-
peal to the Senate to pass the hill ny
an unanimous vote was so effective
that buf eight negative votes were
cast and those from opposition to the
establishing bad precedent, rather
than from sentiment. While it may
be said that the county Las thus far
done pretty well ~ General Grant

not to be supposed that it will assent
to any proposition to withhold its aid
when it is most needed. And, on the
other hand, it should exact rs Il con-

that he should limit his confidence in
pretended friends, and steer clear of

1t may not. be generally known or
believed that Chief Justice Waite
will never again preside over the de-
liberations of the Supreme Court, but
i have it from undouhted authority
that the Chief Justice il afflicted with
softening of the brain, and you know
what that means. The fact that the
Judges of this court are oyerwOrked
cannot be gainsayed, for they work
nearly all the time and are still at

Mr.. Waite is not much above sixty,

SATURDAY, JAN. "A, 1885.

We hold it to be the duty of news
paper to use its influence for the in
terest and advantage of its patrons,
and to advance the prosperity of the
community in which it exists, and
from which it draws its support. This
may be done, perhaps, in many ways,
but chiefly by calling timely atten-
ton to such matters ofpublic impor-
lance and interest as may be improv-
ed to the advantage of the public.
With this Iaudable object IN view.
we beg to call attention to our present
county road system. We take it for
granted that there is no one thing for
which the people pay taxes which
can be made to enhance the value of
real estate in our county to the same
extent as county roads. Indeed the
value of land in county depends
largely upon the character of The
county roads. If this. then, he true,
it becomes matter of importance to
the people to have that system which
will make the best road for stated
sum of money.
Then it further becomes a matter
of public interest to have the fund
appropriated used economically, so as
to have the greatest amount of work
done that can consistently be done for
the money. Now, following this sub
ject, we respectfully suggest that our
road system is very Elective, and is
susceptible of Improvement in many
particulars, few of which, as they
occur to US, we venture to suggest.
In the first place, we think the num-
Der of supervisors ought to be fixed
by law instead Of being left discre.
tionary with the county commission
ers. But even if it were desirable to
give the commissioners some di5cre-
ton in this particular, we submit
there ought to be some limit. Some
time there may be board of county
commissioners elected who, in order
to compensate those who supported
them at the polls, might see proper
to make one half the voters in the
county road supervisors.
Again, the more road supervisors
we have the less money there is to be
applied to the roads, because the su-
pervisors are allowed more money
per day than laborers, and the sheriff
is allowed fifty cents piece for de-
livering commissions to supervisors.
We have at present one hundred and
twenty-five or thirty road supervis-
ors in Garrett county. With each of
these an account has to be kept in the
commissioners Office. In order to
appoint this large number of super
visors and 90 over their accounts, the
commissioners had to remain in ses-
sion week and another session will
have to be held to approve SUPER
yisors bonds, as we are informed. The
expense of delivering commissions is
in itselfa considerable expense and
one from which no benefit can pos
sibiy he derived by anybody. The
large number of supervisors and their
numerous accounts takes the time Of
the commissioners and entails ex-
penses upon the county, with no cDr-
responding beneficial results. We
believe our system can be materially
improved, and as it is a matter of
such grave importance to tax payers,
we think il may he well for them to
consider the matter and take such
steps to correct any existing defects
as they may deem proper and right.

WASHINGTON, September Inspector
Henderson, of the Postoffice Depart
ment. has just returned from North
Carolina, where he succeeded in caus-
ing the arrest of two mail robbers, who,
though mere lads, had, by the ncatness
and dexterity of their operations,
baffied the skill of the inspectors for a
long time. Since June 1st, number OF
complaints have reached the Postoffice
Department that registered letters PES
sing between Salisbury and Albemarle,
North Carolina, have been rified. These
towns are connected by the
Star route, over which the mails
were carried by George Eagle, aged
II. After a careful examination, the in
spector concluded that Eagle was
robbing the mails. Decoy letters con-
tanning marked money were placed in
the registered pouch and watch
placed upon Eagle. Upon his arrival
at the end of the route, the decoy let
tiers were found to have been rifed and
Eagle was promptly arrested aud
searched. No money was found upon
his person and the inspectors were
forced to release him for lack of evil
dence, though confident OF his
guilt. On the night of his dis
charge Eagle bought a horse and
disappeared in the pine woods.
Some time after, while digging at the
bottom CT a we'll on the premises OF one
Almond. a well digger heard Jethro
Almond, a lad, of Is years, confess to
his father that he had the money stolen
by Eagle. The father told his son to keep
the money. Almond had formerly car
ried the mail over the same route. The
well digger informed the inspector of
the facts and ArIhond was arrested and
proofs OF the crime secured. Eagle was
arrested Yesterday in Arkansas, where
he had fed. 1t appears lat the boys
met in the woods and opened
the pouches with home made
tools. An old knife had been
converted into an exceedingly
keen, serviceable saw. With this tool
the clasps OF the pouches were severed
on one side, bent back with another in
strumert. and room thus secured for
the insertion of the hand in the
pouches. The letters were skillfully
opened, the money distracted. and with
the aid of Il bottle of muscilage, the
envelope was neatly sealed. Almond
seems TO have been custodian of the
stolen funds. Inspector Henderson
says this was one of the cleverest de-
vices for robbing the mails ne has ever

PANAMA, August 25.- The leading
topic of interest here at present is the
continued arrival OF Pacific Mail steam
ers without the customary New York
and San Francisco mails, which causes
much Inconvenience in the commercial
community. New York mails OF The
1st and 10th inst. came via jamaica by
Royal Nail steamers.
In Peru a great deal of comment has
been excited by the publication OF a
proclamation signed by General Caccres,
ut Tarma. Caceres declares that his
only object is to restore peace and tram
quiiliUy to Peru, on the basis of her
future honor and happiness, and that
when his design is accomplished he will
quietly retire to private life, satisfied
with having complied with his
duty as a good citizen. He states
that on several occasions he has
proposed measures, which if accepted
would have assuredly brought about
the desired end, but that he has been
met with resistance and even con-
tumely, az when his commission was
sent to Callao, from Mollendo on the
United States steamer Shenandoah, it
was even refused hearing. Important
military operations are now being car
ried on in the north. In addition to Il
