Washington, May 10.—An
Ohio editor reporting an inter-
view with the President, repre-
. ents him is having great expec-
tations, among them the loss of
Ohio to the Republicans this
fall, and the gain of South Car-
olina within two years with
Wade Hampton as the Republi-
can candidate for Governor.
The account concludes: “He
also thought that as one of the
fruits of his Southern policy,
Louisiana would be gathered
into the Republican fold. At
this point bis visitor asked him
it he did not believe that the Re-
publicans bad carried Louisiana
at the last election. The Pres-
ident replied in the affirmative,
But, said his visitor, they have
cheated us out of it, and they
will do it again; if we do carry
any of these Southern States,
they won’t let us have them.
But the President did not look
thlongh the same spectacles as
his visitor, and reiterated his
belief of the glorious results
whicn are to follow fjom his
policy.”
Washington, May 10.-Gen.
Sherman has given orders neces-
sary to reduce the army, in ac-
cordance with the directions of

ing stops immediately. Non-
commissioned officers may re-
enlist under certain circum-
stances.
Secretary Thompson, of the
navy, issues a circular that lie
cannot without violation of the
law render officers any assist-
ance in the matter of their pay.

London, May 10.—A procla-
mation of the independence of
Roumania and simultaneous
declaration of war against Tur-
key was agreed upon in a private
conference of Senators and Dep
uties. Bradino. President ol
the Ministry, was present at the
conference.
It is thought that Russia will
not reply to Lord Derby’s note.
The Russian telegraph agency
however foreshadows a reply,
which concludes : “The English
cabinet cannot extricate itself
from this dilemma, except by
proclaiming that England is the
first Mussulman power in the
maintenance of the Turkish dom
ination over the Christians even
at the cost ot their extermina-
tion. We hold the English na-
tion in too great esteem to be-
lieve it would sanction such a
policy.”
Turkish gunboats seized four
vessels in the Danube sailing
under the Greek Hag.
A Turkish monitor bombard-
ed Statanow ten hums.
A French gunboat lias been
stationed at Solina at the mouth
of the Danube to protect French
interests.
The Turkish commander in-
chief is at Spumla.
It is reported that the Rou-
manian forces, strengthened by
a Russian division, will form the
right wing of the Russian army.
A vigorous contest is expect-
ed between Kalafat and Widdin.
The Russians propose to cross
there.
In the daily telegraph a spe-
cial from Bucharest reports that
several Russian deserters, near-
ly all of wnom were Jews, were
shot at Otsey during the week.
It is said that the Chief Rabbi
at Constantinople has ordered
prayers to be offered for the
success of the Turks in all the
synagogues of Roumania.
A Reuter telegram trorn Con-
stantinopie dated Wednesday
evening, says that no news of
any engagement in Armenia has
been received there.
Washington, May 10.—The
operations of the Turkish mon-
itors seem to be with the view
to ascertain the position and
armament of the Russian bat-
teries on the banks of the Dan-
ube. Hitherto, however, only
a few batteries, poorly armed
with field guns, have been found
to exist. This is explained by
the state of the roads, which
have prevented the trausit of
heavy guns. The Turkish mon-
itors seem to have found no
trace of torpedoes in the river.
The Czar is said to be alaim-
ed at the formation of the Polish
legion at Constantinople, and
has ordered the Governor Gen-
eral of Warsaw to exercise the
greatest vigilance to prevent
the Russian Poles from joining
the legion. All mitigations ol
the state of seige in Poland, en-
forced since the insurrection of
1803, will be revoked.
The Berlin papers announce
that leading Polish politicians
at a secret meeting at Le when re
resolved the establishment of
reeiuiting bureaus all over Po-
land, with the hope of raising an
army ot eighty thousand men.
Six thousand have left already
for Turkey.
The news of the rising of a
tribe in Cauoassia is important
and seems to indicate serious
trouble for the Russians, because
the elans which have risen are
in the immediate neighborhood
of the highroad from Tiflis to
Yladi Kaukas, which is the only
means of communication be-
tween Russia and trans Can
eassia.
London, May 10.—A telegram

Arlington, Texas, May 7, 1877.
Dear Paddock i—Sunday was a day
iu our history long to be remembered;
and the kindred associations aftd pleas-
ant events that cluster about that day
will liye long in memory. In company
with a young ltiend we drove to the
residence of 1. L. Hutcheson, who
lives at Johnson Station. On arrival,
we found in waiting quite a host of
relatives, composed ot lathers, mothers,
brothers, sisters, etc., who, pursuant
to agreement, had assembled for the
purpose of having a general reunion,
and feeling again the tender and hearts
felt emotions that kindled the breast of
their once unbroken family. We haye'
witnessed some singular occurrehceS,
but this was the most tender meeting

In response to the proclama-
tion of Gov. Nieholls, thanks-
giving day was celebrated by
services in the churches aud a
military display. The cotton
exchange and banks were closed-
Ineluded in the military proces-
sion were seven companies of the
First Alabama infantry, of Mo-
bile, preceded bv the Thirteenth
infantry band, two hundred
United States infantry, and a
detachment of marines, who vol-
unteered their services to assist

New Orleans, May 10.—To-

MARITIME.
Loss of the Steamer Dakota.
Liverpool, May 10.—The Wil-
liams & Guiou Line steamer
Dakota, which sailed from Liv-
erpool yesterday for New-York,
is ashore ou the maiuland on the
side of Anglesy, an island of
North Wales. Her crew and
passengers were safely landed.
A tug lias gone to the scene of
the disaster, wnich is on the
mainland, inside of East Mouse,
Anglesy, near Bullbay, west of
Point Lynas.
Liverpool, May 10.—The Da-
kota’s passengers will sail on
Saturday on the steamer Wis-
consin. It is feared that the
Dakota will prove a total loss.
Loudon, May 10.—The daily
Telegraph announces that rein-
surances are being effected on
the over due steamer City of
Brussels for fifteen guineas per
cent, premium.
New York, May 10.—Williams
& Guion’s dispatch about the
Dakota, reported that she had
gone asbere on Point Lynas,
forty-five miles this side of Liv
erpool, and was a total loss.
The dispatch further states that
the passengers aud crew were
saved, and most of the baggage
was also rescued, but the vessel
aud cargo would possibly prove
a total loss. The Dakota had
only just left Liverpool for New
York, and must have run ashore
in a fog.
Liverpool, May 10.—The la-
test intelligence from the Da*
Kota is that she is submerged
astern. Her passengers are
now on the way to this city ou a
special train.
The Messrs. Inman believe
that the steamer City of Brus-
sels has broken her shaft. They
say with the prevailing winds,
it would not be surprising if she
does not arrive iu a week or ten
days yet.
EXPLOSION.
Loss Approximates $90,000.
Boston, May 10.—An explo-
sion occurred last night in the
establishment of W. D. Dun-
ham, at Fall River. His build-
ing was destroyed, as also the
factory of the Kendrick Loom
and Harness Company and the
office of the French newspaper
Le Piotecteur Canadian. The
losses are VV. E. Dunham $65,-
000; Kendrick Loom Company
$11,000; Pocasset Manufactur-
ing Company, $,000; O. K. Rem-
ington, $5,040 ; William R. Bush
plumber, and other occupants,
$3,600. The body of H. L. Ham-
ilton, a blacksmith, was found
this morning in the ruins.
and chasing the mirth of winged Jiourg*
whilst the tlecrepid grand-mother and
her sons and daughter were talking of
the incidents of their old Tennessee
home and sighing tor the loss of a
fallen brother and sister, whose bodies
have passed to the shades “where the
grave worm runs riot on the wreck ot
beauty,” and whose spirits have gone to
the God that gave them. Thus they
talked and thus they wept with joy for
the blessings ot providence in permit-
ting them again to meet, althought'not
around the native heartb-storie, yet iff
a fair and beautiful country. Two of
the brothers, Caswell and Phillip
Hutcheson, are at present residents of
East Tennessee and have come to our
State to view its broad and fertile prai-
ries, and to visit their many friends and
relatives. After spending the day, and
as the sun was sinking in his western
home, we turned our horses heads to-
ward Arlington, and in a short time
were landed safely at cur home, to
meditate o’er the day's doings, and that
night to see in our dreams the huge
monuments of cakes, tarts and paral-
lelograms, that burdened the dinner
table, and which was the artistic work
ol Miss Kittie, daughter ©f I. L.
Hutcheson.
May time, in his prosperous Hi ght
soon come this way again. The Messrs.
Hutcheson’s, of Tennessse, will become
readers of the Democrat.

An Elevator-
Among the most important needs of
the city at this time is a grain elevator.
Last year a large amount of grain was
shipped at other points which of right
should, and undoubtedly would, have
been shipped from here, but for the
fact that the facilities for handling it
were not adequate to the occasion. This
year the amount of grain for shipment
will be greatly in excess of that ©f any
previous year, and hundreds of thou-
sands of bushels 1x111 seek a market
here. In order to realize the best price
for it, and leave the largest possible
amount ot money in the country, it
must be handled as cheaply as possible,
and to do this an elevator is necessary.
We learn that parties here are ready to
put all the means at their command
into the enterprise, but that a few thou-
sand more is necessary to insure the
enterprise. Its necessity must be ad-
mitted by all. and we hope a few of our
leading business men, who feel an inter-
est in the growth and prosperity of the
city, will come forward and take the
remaining stock necessary to secure the
erection of the elevator.
