THE struggles of the great rival pc
litical organizations in New York are al
ready beginning TO exert an influence on
the quiet Of the national administration.
The president started out with well de-
fined ideas Of public duty, and 50 far MS
the great mas Of people is concerned, he
appears to be heartily sustained. But
the return of Secretary Manning, the
visit Of Col Lamont to Mr.. Tilden. the
timely arrival Of a Tammany delegation
at Washington and the Appearance there
of the skirmishers Of the county Demo
crazy, indicate that crisis is approach
ing. Secretary Manning takes a practical
view of the situation, has had several
conferences with the president on the sit
uation Of the party in New York, and
urges prompt measures of escape from
the impending storm. The president,
however, is not easily frightened, and il
rather disposed to accept the issue and
fight it out
The support Of Tammany is indispeusa-
bic to success in the fall campaign. and
its representatives who stil Enger at the
capital arc not backward in having that
fac. known. In a recent cabinet meeting
the New York campaign was informally
talked over. The importance Of carrying
the state was admitted, but any change of
policy in the distribution Of patronage to
that end was not avorably entertained.
1t is claimed by the presidents friends
thai he has gone 50 far in his policy Of
conservative administration that It would
be ruinous 10 iilter or to turn back. The
next few weeks will probably determine
some very critical questions affecting the
harmony as well as the FIXTURE Of the ad-
ministration.

out and possessing marvellous mineral re-
sources. This is the camping-ground,
this is the place Of arms, which Russia
wants, in order that she may be always
able to threaten India. There is no such
camping ground anywhere between the
Caspin and Herat, and nom again be-
tween Herat and India. Hence, not
without reason have the ablest generals of
England and Russia designated the dis
trict key Of India.
The Russians are posted at the gates Of
Heai; the English are posted on the hills
dominating the avenues TO Candahar. Be
tween them lies the Afghan barrier. That
barrier, physically, is ofsuch a character that
the Russians could drive a four-in-hand
from their own Cossack outpost to ours,
and during the $40 miles ride they would
pass only two towns on the road-Herat,
with 80, O00, and Candahar with 60, 600 peo-
pie. There are bad roads in Afghanistan,
but they do not lie between the Russians
and the English. There are fierce tribes,
but they lie the thinnest between the
cars soldiers and the queens There are
patriotic Afghans, but the least sentimental
and the most amenable to European inHu-
ence lie between the Cossack and the Sikh.
there are fearful mountains, but they do
not lie along the rad l mention. Horrible
deserts exists, but in this case the most
fertile parts of Afghanistan mark the
route. In n word. there is no barrier at
all between the Russians and the English,
except such as We ourselves may try to
create and interpose to check the advance
Of the Cossack.

IT be that, even if ten. Grant
should get well, the ridicule directed
against his physicians is not deserved.
His recovery, if it should occur, would
be popularity regarded as conclusive cyi-
dence that his disease was something diff.
ierent from cancer But this conclusion
might be altogether erroneous. His treat
ment has been antisept,c and palliative
and new specifies Of recent scientific appli
cation have been utilized for this purpose.
Cocoaine. the new local anesthctic, has
been almost constantly used in contact
with all paris of the sore, and it is not
impossible that this and other new agents
employed merely to allay pain, may prove
To be curative in treatment Of cancerous
disease. Most all the great medicines
known to medical science have been dis
covered by accident, and it is not at all
improbable that a specific cure for cancer
has been evolved from this case. which in
all respects has proved to be a most re-
markable one.

A REPUBLIC.
The ssttIement Of NIhilisis In Southern
Oregon ana Its History.

The settlement Of Nihilists In Southern
Oregon ana Its History.
lsan Francisco Chronicle
Among the foothills Of the coast
range in the southern part OF Oregon, at
a place called Longdale Station, stands
a settlement Of Russian refugees. AL
though ostensiUly subject to the laws of
Jackson county, yet this community
is in reality an imperium in impcrio. II
seems TO be n sort Of P~latonic republic,
where property is common and whore
the greatest freedom possible TO an or
gained society is allowed.
In 1881 q band of twenty students of
the Odessa and Kharkof universities left
Russia in separate de~tachments, with
New York as the meeting place. Ar
irving there they looked about for some
place OF settlement, and determined on
Oregon. Not having money enough,
they again separated and worked in diff
fcrent cities OF the eas until a fund had
been raised sufficient to buy the title
deeds to several thousand acres OF land.
When the property wa purchased they
at once started for Oregon and began
the formation Of a colony, to which
have since been added thirty or forty
additional Nihilists. The land was di
yided into farms and each colonist al
lowed a CERTAIN amount Of money to
purchase stock and tools.
soon the settlement thriyed until
thor colony, which is called New
Odessa, y stood on n substantial basis.
Then rules and regulations were
adopted for the government Of the set
tiers. 1t was decided that each man
should work but six hours n day, the
remainder to be devoted to listening to
lectures on Nihilism and the rights of
man one large house was selected as
the lecture hall, and there the refugees
daily listen to the speculations Of the
students on the right Of revolution,
which they claim will uprise in hussia
as sure as the Volga flows into the sea.
The chief staple Of cultivation Of the
colony is grain There are about twenty
women in tho settlement. The colony
is in the possession Of a large library,
open TO all, which is composed mostly
OF treatisos on political subjects in the
Russian tongue. The library is gradu-
ally increased by additions Of books and
papers from Geneva and Odessa.
The settlement thus far has prOspered
beyond all expectations, and no dissen-
sion has occurred to mar the accom-
plishment Of its purpose. The colony
Is still engaged in Nihilistic projects,
and IS in constant communication with
Russia. enc Of the great objects of tho
colony is to furnish "A home by sending
money TO Nihilists who may hereafter
escape from Russia.

A movement is at present going on in
the interior Of Russia which may ulti-
mately have consequences of utmost i'm
portance, and that is the spread Of a
kind Of Russian religious reformation.
For some time past secession from the
orthodox Greek church has been re-
markably active, and scarcely a day
passes without the new sects receiving a
large accession of followers. Tho
government does all il can to discourage
the reformation, even to the extent of
closing numerous petty posts throughout
the empire to all except the Orthodox
church. Nevertheless, undeterred ever
by this modified form of persecution,
the religious movement is obviously
gazing strength. The new sects. il
must DO mentioned, are not hostile to
the Russian government; but, unfortu.
nately for them, heresy is regarded in
Russia as a kind Of high treason

THE interruption of diplomatic rela
tong between France and Egypt by the
withdrawal of the French consul general
from Cairo, is said to prove hat there is
a secret understanding between France
and Russia. The defeat Of the Italian
troops by III Mahdi's forces seems to indi-
cate that the rebel prophet is also in
league with Russia. An alliance often.
