NJ. Ferry has gained two cOnsidera-
bic successes this week. On Februa-
ry 9th, General Bri6re de rIsle ar
rived opposite the fortified villages
which protect Langson, and proceed
ed to attack them. No details are
given; but after four days severe
f-bting, during which the French
lost, by the Generals account, some
22O mon, the Chinese r%etreated. On
the 14ph after some diminishing of no
importance, the French entered Lang
son, which they found deserted, and
occupied a high pass some three miles
further towards the frontier. They
maintain that this victory clears Ton
quin; but its value is not great, az
the Chinese have other points of en-
trance, and will flow in again as it
they had not been beaten. The Sc
c6nd victory is, perhaps, more M
portant. Admiral Courbet, abandon
ing Formosa-in which he can accom-
plish nothing without achievements,
his Marines declaring that their lives
are wasted against superior numbers,
and even %mutinying, 50 that he had
to shoot twelve men,-Sought the
Chinese Fleet near Chin Hal. He
found them, and after four attacks
with torpedo boats, succeeded in
blowing up the frigate "Yuquen," of
26 guns and 600 men, and the cor
yette "Tcherg-Kin," of seven guns
and $50 men. he remaining three
vessels escaped; but the engagement
is probabIy fatal TO the Chinese Fleet,
which cannot be protected against
this new form of artillery. A torpe-
do-boat is really a new gun and
from the experience of this campaign,
and Of that between the Chilians and
Peruvians, is the most formidable yet
invented, its speciality being that the
comparative size Of the attacking ship
and Of the ship attacked, has nothing
to do with the matter. There is no

KEILEY's REJECTION.
The True Cause Thereof-secretary Bay
ard on His Dignity.
From the Neto York World

From the Ne1 York World.
WASHINGTON, Aug. IL have learned
from high official source the true story
of the rejection of Kelley by the Austrian
Government, and the action taken by the
administration in reply. 1t has been
widely published that the Austrian Gov
eminent gave no reasons for the rejection
Of Kelley. This report is incorrect. One
reason was given in diplomatic note
submitted by Secretary Bayard at the
Cabinet meeting yesterday. This mes
sage came from the Austrian for
eign office through Baron Won
Schaefier. This note gives as
reason for declining to receive
Kelley that his wife is a Jewess, and ac-
cOrding to Austrian etiquette she could
not be received at the Vienna court. This
court does not recognize the legality of
marriages between Jews and Catholics.
The note is very polite, but equally de-
cided. 1t carefully ignores the strongest
reason for rejecting Keiley-nis having
given off .nse TO the Italian government.
This epistle from the Vienna authorities
has given NJ. Bayard his opportunity.
He has prepared a very spirited ply,
which he read at the Cabinet meet
ing yesterday. He takes very high
ground and gives the Austrian
government very severe diplomatic doe
ument. He expresses great surprise in
this day OF religious liberty at he exhi-
bition of religious Intolerance shown by
the Austrian government. He dwells
upon the fact that the objection made is
one that this country cannot recognize as
a good one, as this government is one that
knows no religion in its dealing with men.
The implication in his note, therefore, is
that the act Of the Austrian government
in rejecting Kelly upon the ground stated
is an act of great discOurtesy, and will
be so regarded. 1t is the intention
OF the administration to leave the
Vienna mission vacant, for some time at
least. 1t will not ask to have Baron Won
Schaeffer recalled, but will be content to
leave matters as they now are If the Aus
trian Government IS satisfied with one
sided diplomatic intercourse. Mr.. Bay
ARDS note, when it is called for by Con-
gress, Will be published. Under the eti-
quette of the State Department, this plea
in favor of religious liberty cannot be
Given out until then for general publica-
ton.
The President agrees with Mr.. Bayard
fully in his letter and determination to
leave the Vienna mission vacant for
time.

An Arkansas Duel.
Ftom u Ohieago Chrnent.


About the pear 1880 Gen. Conway and
Robert Crittenden, of Arkansas, we're OPP
posing candidates for the position Of
territorial delegate in the National Con-
gress. Their speeches were bitterly per-
sOnal; but for time they abstained from
coming into direct collision with each
other, the one combining his canvass to
the northern portion of the State, and the
other combining his canvass TO the south
ern. But this prudent course could not
long be pursued in Arkansas at that
day. The public became impatient
with invective that did not reach its OBJ
iect exceptin faint reyerbations. An ire
sistiDle demand was made for joint DIS
cussion. Little Rock and a day In mid
summer, were the place and time fixed for
it, In the course OF his second speech.
Conway. faithfully complying like good
representative with the wishes OF his con-
stituents, used language which made a
challenge upon the part Of Crittenden a
moral necessity in that portion Of the
United states. A meeting was arranged
for the next morning. A "vast throngW
some OF whom had come over hunured

way, who. while a man OF undouhted
courage, was more nervOuslv organized
than his competitor, became restless ana
petulant: but Crittenden, who Is said 10
have '.inherited the nohlest Of human
FORMS" quietly extended his shapely
limbs uuon AN outstretched blanket, and
remained in that attitude, with his eyes
half closed, as II enjoying a peaceful
smmher, until the seconds had settled
their differences. This was finally done

There seems some reason to believe, then,
that tornadoes may arise from two causes
-one, a revolving, upward push OF the
air, due to the pressure of opposing winds;
the other, an upward drag, due TO rare

Several days ago there appeared
in the Florida Herald an announce
ment which seemed to Justify the
Inference drawn by some that the
governor bad appointed the "IIon. :"
w. II. Sebring commissioner to rep
resent our state in London. If this
was intended as '1eeler" it failed
lanentably, for no one endorsed the
appointment save the anonymous
correspondent; if it was intended as
a hint to Gov. Perry, it will not be
taken we feel certain. Gov. Blox-
hams appointment of Sebring was
bad enough, but further appoint
ment after he has been tried and
found wanting would be far worse.
Our present executive has hitherto
been most successful in the sci action
of his appointees; the charges affect
ing Sebring's capacity and faithful
ness as public servant are too seri-
Gus to be ignored by an officer con
scientious and vigilant as Gov. Per
~ry. Wherever else the honor NAV
go, the difference between Brinley
and Ssbring is too wide and evil

The statIsticiau who recently fig
nred out, from the earlier reports Of
the census, that the colorcd race is
increasing so much faster than the
white race that the country would
ultimately be overrun with blacks,
certainly cannot find any figures in
the latest volume of the census on
vital statistics TO support his theory.
So far from it, says the Birmingham
Age, this report shows, just what
livery well informed southern man
Knows: that the death rate Is pro
portionally much greater among the
blacks than the whites.
According to the census report re-
ferred to, the cities Of Louisville,

the relative mortality of the two
races: In Louisville the death rate
