NOW RUSSIA IS IN A HUFF. Tho Czar Irritatcd by Turkcy's
 Latest Actions.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. n.-As is we'll known, the relations between the Rus sian and the Turkish governments are not of such character as to be worthy of remark for their friendliness, and matters have not been improved by a reply from the porte to request re- gently made by Russia The latter country, being desirous of honoring its soldiers who were killed during the late Russo-Turlsish war and who were buried in Turkey, recently requested the porte to grant permission for the Russian authorities to disinter the dead, it being the intention of Russia to remove them to San Stefano, near tinople. where national mem orial was to be erected in their honor. It was also the intention of Russia to erect at San Stcfano an orthodox Greek church in memory of those who laid down their lives for their country.
 But all there plans have been rem dered futile by the acton of the porte, which declines to allow Russia to re- move the bodies. It is held in St. Petersburg that thls is but another Illustration of the animosity of the port toward everything Russian, and there is much irritation in conse- auence. It is not believed that the Russian government will allow the question to remain as it now stands

become the most powerful and effec.
 tive the world had ever seen. They
 melted away like the snow on the hill
 tops under the beams of 8 monday
 sun. You resumed the peaceful voca-
 tions of civil life and the nation re-
 sumed once more it's career of unpar-
 alleled progress, prosperity and happi-
 mesa There never was Tn the history of any civilized warfare such magna-
 nimity evinced toward foe as tho terms of the surrender of Lees army at Appomattox. We had learned to
 admire the gallantry of the men we had vanquishcd as only men could ad- mire them who had tested their endur-
 ance and valor upon many bloody bat tlefields, A comrade wearing the badge or
 uniform of the order participating Tn any demonstration where the .'rebel' flag is displayed violates his obligation
 ''to maintain true allegiance to the
 United States of America; to honor it's constitution, to discountenancc what
 ever tends to weaken loyalty, incite treason or rebellion and to encourage
 universal liberty and justice to all
 mankind" and brings disgrace upon the order of which he is member. While tho commander-in chief has
 neither the right nor disposition to in- terfere with the individual rights or
 privileges of members of the order, he
 has assumed an obligation to protect 1t against any and all acts that will bring
 reproach upon its good name. Do you propose to surrender what you fought for and what your comrades who sleep in heroic graves died for? As the stars
 are fixed in the skies, so your patriot
 ism is fixed and iu.movable to preserve
 the memories and fruits of that great
 struggle. If this grand army of Joy al
 citizens serves no other purpose it will
 keep fresh in the heads of the rising
 generation that love of country, that
 devotion to the Union, that reverence
 for the stars ana stripes, the constitu-
 ton and the laws, which in the future.
 as they have been in the past, must be
 the anchors which hold us firmly to a solid. permanent and prosperous na- tlonal existence.
 With these words admonition, I have
 sufficient confidence in your honor and fidelity to the principles of the order to feel that there will be no further participation in any demonstration or parade where the"cm blem of treason'' is carried or displayed. Let the cause which triumphed in the war be nam tained in the completeness of it's vic tory and the fullness of it's significance. JOHN PALMER, Commander-in-Ch Chief By the commander-in-ch chief:

AFTER THE PLUMS.
Scram ble for the Good Places to 0e
 Given Out by CongresA

WASHINGTON, Nov. fL--Befcre the end of this week the campaign of the various candidates for three promi- nent positions in the next House of Representatives will have headquar- ters open and will be buttonholing Democratic mem bers e fast as they arrive. So far no one has come into the field for sergeantat~arms, now held by Major Holmes of Iowa At one time Congressman Lawler of Chicago was in the race, but he is now holding back so as not to em barrass Springers Speakership candidacy. It is generally conceded that the Hawk eye State will be given that place again as a recognition of the Demo. cratic victory won last week
 Ex-Congressmen Kerr of Pennsyl- vania and Gibson of Maryland are tho leading cand idates for clerk, with tho chances In favor of the latter. Thomas Coakley ot New York, who has been a member of the door-keeper's force for years and made himself very popu- lar. is the principal candidate for door keeper and having his large State del egation behind hlm will probably sue ceed. sam" Donelson, who was door, keeper three years ago is an aspirant, but it is not believed he will be seri- ously presented, as he has conducted himself so as to lose nearly all of ms Congressional friends. Gen. Field of Georgia may be presented as can didats for door-keeper, but if the clerkship goes to Maryland the South will get no other place.
