Washington, May 19.—John
B. Johnson, late auditor, and
Charles H. Thompson, State
assessor, are after Cockrill’s
place as assessor of the Louis-
iana district. William H. Hunt
can be district attorney if he
wants the place. Wharton and
Leonard are losing ground. Jou
bert is coining to the surface
among the aspirants for the na-
val office. Packard does not
want to be assistant treasurer
at New Orleans. ' It appears
that Packard is chary of using
what iufiuence he may have. He
goes no further than to write a
letter addressed to office-seekers,
saying that he deserves recogni-
tion from the administration,
but no particular office is desig-
nated in the letters.
It is stated that the Russian
fleet left American waters upon
an intimation lrcin the Sta*e de-
partment that their departure
was desired.
A special hence says that the
President has ottered the solicit-
ors 11 i p of the treasury to Gov.
Chamberlain.

appointed collector of internal
revenue for the second Virginia
district, vice Richards.
Washburn officially advises
the State department of the
Frenen crisis. He apprehends

ciliable.
Public printer Defrees bas
appointed E. Wooster, foremau
ot the Congressional Record.
The case of Admiral Porter
and others, for prize money for
the capture of the privateers
Texas and Beauford, was dis-
missed. Their abandonment
was made necessary by the
evacuation of Richmond, which
was caused by the operations of
the army.
Secretary Evarts denies the
report that the departure of the
Russian fleet was instigated by
the government. Evarts holds
that their remain iwg here in no
way affected our neutrality.

Paris, May 19.—Senators of
the Lelt held a meeting and is-
sued a manifevto to the people,
which concludes; ‘•‘Considering
that the. present crisis, which
has been raised without any
reason, amidst the profoundest
peace- in the country, and in the
presence of events abroad,
alarms the country and justifies
every distrust. It seems neces-
sary to reassure, that the Sena-
tors of the Left express their
tilth conviction that the Senate
will not associate strictly with
any undertaking against repub-
lican institutions, and they de-
clare that they will resist any
policy which threatens the pub
lie peace.”
This vigorous protest and
manifesto of the Deputies are
producing a great impression.
A new proiogation is expected,

him in his task.

siders Juies Simon’s dismissal

the neighborhood of the Austrian
frontier as a casus belli. Mili-
tary men consider that the time
has arrived for the concentrating
of a corps of observation in
Transylvania* I hear from
Zemplin that the military prep-
arations of the Servians are now
quite evident. Prince Milan to-

A Voice for War.
The last rose of summer has a
charm all of its own, but it does
not compare with the. rosy flush

They are fencing on the Yose-
mite Valley, erecting barricades,
building walls, arid preparing to
make every patriot pay cash
down for what he sees.
From the London Daily Telegranh. ]
We do eot fear that England
will not do her duty by herself
aud Europe, whose best inter-
ests are bound up with hers on
this question. She is not likely
to fail when the last word has
solemnly been spoken, the last
patient effort made, arid deep
laid plots of aggraudizehlertt
are openly revealed. “Surely
the government,” exclaimed Mrs
Goscheu on Friday night, “does
not mean to allow ths eastern
question to be settled without
the voice of England being heard
at all.” If we were in the house
when Mr. Roebuck delivered his
spirited, plaiu-spoken speech, he
must have listened, perhaps
even with pleasure, to a predic-
tion giving forth no uncertain
sound, aud expressing a nation-
al conviction. “The Russians,”
he said, “will never be permit-
ted to take Constantinople while
England has a ship at her com-
mand or a soldier whom she can
send.” When the first cannon
has once been tired, it will no
longer be a question of Turk or
Russian, Moslem or Christian j
the thing at stake will be the
British empire, the maintenance
of which in all its strength, gran-
deur aud usefaluess to real civil-
ization is denounced by honora-
ble members as a selfish aud cyn-
ical policy! If an ambitious
and despotic power like Russia
is held to be justified in going to'
war for the acquisition of the
Bosphorus and supreme control
over Asia Minor, how much
more are we bound to uphold, ifi
every part of the world, the hon-
or, the interests, and the dignity
of the British empire.
Turkey vs. Russia.
The Turks have torpedoed the
bridge over the river Sereth ;
and, if the Russians attempt to
rush across it, they will most
likely be treated to a Turkish
bath.
Russia iron is rapidly advan-
cing—toward tbe Turkish fron-
tier.
Russia binds herself not to
fight for the acquisition of terri-
tory, and Turkey binds herself
not to interfere with neighbor-
ing powers so long as tliey re-
main neutral, and we shall soon
know whether Turkey or Russia
binding is the most reliable.
The key that Russia wants to
unlock the Dardanelles with—
Turkey.
According to cablegram, the
Turks have two steamers oa the
Danube; probably tugs of war.
At a banquet at Delmonieo’s,
the other evening, Duke Alexis
aud other Russian officers made
a savage onslaught on turkey.
What melodious sounds the
telephoue would vibrate in
transmitting the verbal under-
standing between a Russo and a
Turko General!
No mania for fighting—Rou-
mania.—Detroit Free Press.
—An exchange solemuly in-
quires : “Watchman, what of

“When I was in Germany,”
said an eminent Boston chemist,
“I discovered arsenic two spec-

Here I have analyzed humLeds

and found arsenic in a large pro-
portion of them, but no one is
prosecuted.”
