EFFECT OF THE FALL OF KHARToUM. -
The unexpected capture of Khartoum by
the Arabs, is, as the Lynchburg Neaos
expresses it, "a decided back to the Eng
fish invasion of Egypt, and it may lead to
serious European complications. The
Turks of course will endeavor to turn to
their advantage this discontinue of the
English forces. They have watched with
jealousy the English policy Of forcible in
reference in Egyptian AFFAIRS and would
be glad of a good chance to give an en-
phatic expression of their feelings.
France, too, is watching the course Of
events with keen and jealous interest,
and will be on the alert to seize every ad
vantage which England's embarrassed con-
dition may present. Altogether the out
look is propitious for a very grave turn to
| transatlantic politics. If the nations of
Europe go to their old trade of armament,
and the arbitrament of the sword in settle
nlent of their rival interests, it will very
certainly rebound to the benefit of Ame1i-
can industries agricultural and CONNER
cial. They will want our breadstuffs and
our wares and merchandise of every des-
cription. And so the proverb will be veri-
fed that it is an ill wind which blows no
gOod.'

Cleveland's Policy as to the Removal o.
Office Holders.

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore San under date of the 9Th inst,
says
"The Senators and others who went
over to sac Mr.. Cleveland have all returned,
and concur without exception in the senti-
ment that he is man whose action and
policy the Democratic party and the coun-
try can await with the consciousness that
it will be judicious and safe."
eHe inquired of several of the Senators
what was thought in Washington of his
late civil-service letter and the principles
laid down therein. 1t was suggested to
him that more than one construction had
been put upon the letter. That it had been
interpreted, for instance, by some office
seekers as not meaning SO much as appear
ed to those who were not looking fol-
place. To this suggestion he replied very
decidedly that the letter meant exactly
what it said, no more and no less, and tho e
who we're undertaking to read between the
| lines would find themselves mistaken. He
did not purpose removing any Republican
official who had been faithful and attentive
| to his duties, and whose administration of
his office was satisfactory to the public were
who Immediately concerned. When the
terms of such officers expired he OK pected, Of
course, to fill their places with good men
of his own party if they could be found,
which he did not doubt. There might be
reasons in some cases why this position
should not be adhered to, but, under a j
ordinary and usual circumstances, it would
be the rule. In determining upon this line
of action Mr.. Cleveland follows British
precedent.
|
s'Jf Mr.. Cleveland should succeed in
Grad cating the spolis doctrine from Amer
can politics, it would be one of the crown.
ing glories of his administration. 1t has
not developed that any of the Senators to
whom he talked on the subject took issue
with him. If any one of them did it has
been kept very quiet. On the other hand,
several of the most prominent Senators ex-
pressed themselves to him in hearty ap.
proval of his ideas, and said the adoption
of such policy would relieve them OF
much annoyance and trouble. Acting
strictly up to both letter and spirit of his
announced policy, it is apprehended that in
the South Mr.. Cleveland will find himself
constrained to make removals in quite a
number of cases, for nothing is more no.
| torious than that many of the federal Off
| cials in certain States of the South have
| devoted much less time to the duties Of
their offices than to the ways and wiles OF
low and degraded politics.

The Fall of Khartoum.
GEN. GoRDoN's FATE UNKNowN-BETRAY-
ED BY HIS OWN GARRISON.

A London dispatch of Feb. 9th says that
intelligence was received there on that day
at 10 A. NJ, that Khartoum had been cap
tured by the Arabian rebels. The wherea-
bouts of Gen. Gordon are unknown. lie
is probably prisoner in the hands of the
victors. The Daily Chronicle says that a
telegram was received at the war office
last night from Gen. Wolseley announcing
the fall of Khartoum. Gen Wolseley tele-
graphs that when Col. Wilson, who went
from Metemneh to Khartoum, reached the
latter place, he found it in the hands of the
rebels. He returned to Metemneh under a
heavy fire from both banks of the river.
Shortly after noon the war Office issued
the following: kilograms from Gen.
Wolseley announce that the fall of Khar-
toum took place January 20. He says:
Col. Wilson arrived at Khartoum on JAN
uary %, and was greatly surprised to find
that the enemy were in possession Of that
place. He Immediately started on his re-
turn down the river, and proceeded under
heavy fire from the rebels. When some
miles below the Shublaka cataract Col.
Wilson's steamers were wrecked, but he
and his whole party managed to reach an
island in safety, where they. are secure. A
steamer has gone to bring them back TO the
British camp near Metemneh. "

When the passenger train which left
Bridgeton on the West Jersey Railroad at
s o'clock Thursday morning week neared
Union Station, a few miles below Glass
boro, the three rear passenger cars jumped
the track and bumped for a considerable
distance over the sleepers. A panic en-
sued among the passengers and a number
of them jumped out, fortunately escaping
injury. The engine was soon brought to a
standstill, when it was found that beyond
a general shaking up none of the passen-
gers were reported seriously injured. They
were transferred to the baggage car, which
had not left the tracks, and taken to Glass
boro, and from there by the Cape May
train to Camden. The wreck was cleared
up in the afternoon, and the cars, which
were badly damaged taken to Camden

Didn't GET the Treat.

Last night, between 10 and II o'clock, a
party of young men and boys visited the
residence of Smith Hewitt, to tender a cal
ithumpian serenade to his newly married
son Morris, and his bride. Guns, pistols,
tin cans, horns and a ''horse fiddle COM
prised the orchestral instruments, and
the whole neighborhood was aroused from
slumber, The object seemed to be to get a
treat out of Mr.. Hewitt's family, but inst
as their hopes seemed about to break into
f~ruition, Rev. Mr.. Bridgeman, whose FAM
lily had been disturbed by the racket, APP
peared upon the scene, and, .single-handed,
dispersed the crowd, capturing the ''horse-
fiddle" and bow. after several determined
struggles, and effectually broke up the
whole business.
