Russia and England.

LONDON, May 1.-THE conservative pa
pers generally do not wish a vote adverse to
the government on the war credit, but CON
slider that the government ought to give
the opposition more information rs to the
present state of affairs. All the kilograms
from India deny the reported resignation of
Lord Dufferin.
The military party in Russia continues to
spread reports to the discredit Of England.
The latest lie that the Russians captured at
Penjdeh some of Sir Peter Lumsden's dis
patches proving that he encourages the AT
ghans to invite a collision with the Russians !;
that copies fthess documents were sent to
the English cabinet and that therefore
Lumsdeu was recalled. St. Petersburg al
vices through Vienna report that quantities

ed at several coalng stations. Work con.

MAHoNE's LETTER to Senator Miller, of
New York in reference to the Riddleberger
debt law and the recent decisions of the Su-
preme Court in the coupon cases is of inter-
est only as outlining the issue on which the
"readjuster republican party" will fight out
the next campaign. The gist of his argu-
ment is that the readjusting legislation car
ried by the party under Mahone's auspices
has in all important particulars stood the
test of examination by the Supreme Court
of the United States, while all the SUBJ
sequent debt legislation by the demo
Gratis has been pronounced unconstitu-
tional; therefore it is the duty of all
earnest readjusters to adhere to the Riddle
berger settlement and support Mahone-"to
elect men to administer public affairs who
believe in it and have the sense to carry it
out" He says that the Riddeberger law
defining the amount of the debt is just
that the coupon killer No. is constitution
al, and that coupon killer No. 2 can easily
be conformed to 1.-THE present opinion of the
Supreme Court" without imparing its eff
cacy.

GENERAL JOSEPH E. JOHNSTON, now,
after twenty four years, says the defeat OF
the Union army at the first battle of Manas.
eas was not the great rout it Is reported to
have been, and that it was because OF the
orderly and disciplined manner in which
that army marched back to Washington
from the field of battle that he counter
manded the order to advance and cut off its
retreat that had been issued to Generals
Longstreet and Bonham. This is news, not
ouly to the men in the Confederate COM
mands referred to and to all other soldiers
in the Confederate army, but to every man
in the Union army, to every human soul
who lived along the roads leading from
Manassas to Washington who witnessed
the retreat, and to all the people who were
alive in Alexandria and Washington city at
the time and who saw the condition of the
army when it returned.

do-young farmer, strong and healthy appa-
rently in mind and body, was in the woods
near the hamlet choppDg with his neighbor,
a man named futile. Suddenly he
raised his hands, uttered shrek and start
ed on run. He went to farm bouse near
by, broke in the door, smashed the windows
and destroyed half the furniture before the
frightened people collected their senses.
He next visited the house of German,
where he assaulted the housewife and then
turned upon the husband. AS he jumped
at him the farmer struck the insane man
upon the head with an axe. Casey attacked
tie farmer again, but two more blows
knocked him senseless. By this time the
neighhors came to the rescue, and the luna.
tic, who soon revived, was held down with
a fence rail across his breast. He died soon

the majority Of votes. The election of a
republican in the Saith district to succeed q
democrat gives the republicans 103 votes to
our 101 on joint ballot. also admit that
General Logans prospects have been I'M
proved, but what the result will be cannot
tell. General Logan was unable to muster
l02 votes before Weaver's election, and it
remains to be seen whether he can muster
l03 votes now that another republican has
been added to his forces. Do I think
there was any ground on which to contest
fhe election of Mr. Weaver don't know.
At first sight it appears suspicious, to say
the least, that a republican should have
been returned from democratic district.
OF course there is no law against such a
trick, but it is not fair representation of
Inc people; it is not true expression of the
opinion of the votes in this district. don't
know that there is any irregularity in the
returns but the democrats will probably
take advantage of the delays allowed by
The law in making the returns to investi-
gate the affair"
