SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1876
Does Russia Intend War?
The situation of affairs in the Eas
critical in the extreme. Only a few
ago a settlement of the vexed ques
seemed not improbable. If Turkey c
be indreed to consent to an armistic
was thought a peaceable solution of
difficulty would be secured. This pi
ing prospect has, however, vanis
notwithstanding that Turkey has
sented to the Armistice. That po
has submitted to the repr sentatives
the other Great Powers a theme of
form which provides thata legisla
body of 150 electedmembers, with a
ate of 50 Government nominees sho
be created, and that the local affair
each Province should be regulated
councils of a mixed character, co psis
delegates chosen from various comm
ties, the system to apply to the wh
Turkish empire ; while, regarding
armistice, Turkey proposed that it sho
extend to: the 15th of March, 1877,
condition that Servia should not occu
positions now in possession of the Tu
ish forces and further, that Ser
should, d4iring the armistice disconti
the reception of arms, ammunition a
foreign volunteers. Of course this p
posal entirely ignores . the independe
of Servia and :the other insurrection
states. It would, indeed, if found to
practicable, render unnecessary the
dependence of these states, and for t
reason would be agreeable to some of
Powers, as Austria, who is known to
opposed to the formation of another Sol
state in immediate proximity to her o
Sclav Provinces ; while it would me
with the opposition of those already co
witted to the scheme of a tier of "auto
omous states" out of `Turkish territo
on the north. The note in which Tu
key submits these proposals is describ
as being most conciliatory in tone, su
missive, and even humble, being, in fac
couched in terms such as could give
offence to any other Power. Russi
however, has signified, that the propos
for a five month's armistice does not a
cord with her views, thereby declinin
to entertain the proposals made in th
Turkish note. Hence anises the emine
danger of war. When the time com
Russia will throw aside her mask
Meanwhile she is making the most vigo
ous preparations for war. Residents o
Russia temporarily residing in Austri
and Germany, liable to perform milita
duty have been ordered to return. Th
army reserves in her western Provinoe
have been called out. Troops are bein
massed in the south and southwest in th
vicinity of the Austrian and Turkis
bor era. The Black Sea squadron is i
raid ess to convey 100,000 men fro
th" . orthorrf to the western shores of th
sea ; and arrangements have been mad
to carry the residents of the Russian col-
,' at Constantinople with all safety
and despatch to Odessa, in the event o
war. Persia, too, at the request of Rus-
sia, is sending troops to ! the Turkish
frontier, ready to co-operate with those
of her ally. At the same time the in-
flux of Russian troops into Servia is large-
ly on the increase: scarcely a day passing
without new arrivals. Coming at first
in twos and threes and half -dozens, then
by scores, they now arrive in hundreds.
It has been reliably estimated that there
is now not less than 20,000 Russian vol-
unteers within the boundaries of Servia.
No fewer than 50 officers, some of them
holding high positions in the Russian
army, are reported to have arrived in one
day at Belgrade, lately.
As might be expected, the London
press takes very strong ghrouad against

the Mohammedan millions to rise to the
rescue. From India, from Arabia, -from
Syria, from Asia Minor, and from Egypt
will the followers of The Prophet hasten
to fight, and to die for their religion.
The well-known traditional policy of the
Russ is to possess the Bosphoros. ' For
that he has fought and intrigued as he is
intriguing now, and will fight again with
the tenacity and stolid desperationchar-
acteristic of his race, and he may have it
too. Who will hinder? One now looking
on, apparently with a sullen indifference
may. Prince Bismark has the power if
he has the will to prevent the Black Sea
becoming a mere Russian lake, and the
Danube a Russian stream.
The American Elections.
The recent State elections in Ohio and
Indiana, are said to have been more hotly
contested than any similar elections in
either of these States since the termina-
tion of the great Ciyil War. Both Demo-
crats. and Republicans put forth the en-
tire strength of their respective parties.
The vote polled in each State is unpre-
cedentedly large. The result, although
not a drawn battle, is not largely favor-
able to either. The' Republican party
having (serried their ticket in Ohio by
about 8,000 majority have slightly im-
proved their position, while in (Indiana
the Democrats having beaten the Repub-
licans by only about 3,000, have barely
held their own. The probability is that
in the Presidential election the:Republic-
ans will increase their majority in Ohio,
and perhaps so far diminish the present
Democratic majority in Indiana, as to,
necessitate the vote of that State being'
cast for Hayes and Wheeler. A very--
noticeable
erynoticeable fact in the late contest is, that
although the currency question, and the
question of financial Reform did at first
largely occupy public attention, the elec-
tion was mainly decided in each State on
the old war issues which were supposed
to have been abandoned upon the sur-
render of Gen. Lee, and the final collapse
of the great Southern Rebellion. It was
simply the battle of the Union and the
Confederacy fought over again -at the
ballot box. The Democratic party be-
fore the war was the ally of the South ;
during the war it was the active sympa-
thizer of the Confederates ; and now it
openly allies itself with the "Solid South"
party.
The State of New York has now
become the battle -ground on which will
be fought the issues undecided in Ohio
and Indiana. Both parties are straining
every nerve to carry the stake. Both
are equally confident. To both it is a
life -and -death struggle, for the loser will
fail in the Presidential election. Should
the Democrats win the stake and the
Southern vote go "solid" for Tilden and
Hendricks these candidates are certain
to be elected. On the other hand, if the
Republicans win, the Democrats have
lost, although the South should go
"solid." A "solid South" means the
entire white vote to be cast for the
Democratic candidate, and the vote of
the colored people nullified. To secure
this end the intimidation of the Blacks
is resorted to, for if left to themselves
the colored voters almost invariably cast
their ballots for the Republican candi-
date.
Hence more or less all over the
South the latter class," the blacks are
liable to have their houses and -School-
houses burnt, their crops destroyed, their
persons aaulted ; and even murders of
unoffending peaceful colored people are
not untrequent. 'In South Carolina
organizations of whites called "rifle
clubs" have become so numerous and so
defiant, that the Governor of the State
has requested the President to forward
troops with the view of preserving order,
and securing to every voter immunity
from molestation in exercise of his suf-
frage.
Russian policy. The Pal? Mall Gazette
believes " it would be mere weakness cin
the part of the other Powers - to admit
Russia's demands." And further, "that
to urge the Porte to accept these demands
are not only a hopeless course, but one
which no independent Power of Europe
can adopt without the loss of self-respect
and without the risk of becoming the tool
of diplomatic trickery." This is strong
and decided language. The Times, too,
declares "that if Russia refuses the ar-
mistice, or is the means of its refusal,
she becomes the enemy of Europe." And
again, "if the war is to be continued,and
everything points in that direction, it will
be as a Russian war in Servia until it
becomes something still more."
The Sultan with his people would appear
to have resolved to face what is inevit-
able,alone and single handed,' no better.-
True the Turks have deservedly lost their
prestige in Europe, and forfeited all sym-
pathy from civilized nations, because of
their misgovernment, oppression and cru-
elty; and their career will sooner or later
terminate on the north side of the Bos
phoros;but they will not be driven out of
Europe ; even by the gigantic Russia,
wishout a fierce and terrible struggle.

The following is a synopsis of the pre-
sentment of the Grand Jury : The Grand
Jury of our Sovereign Lady the Queen
on their oath, present that in the per-
formance of their duty, they inspected
the jail, and found that the courteous
jailor, Mr. Campaigne, has to all ap-
pearance faithfully discharged his duty
in keeping the jail clean, and in caring
for those committed to his charge. They
were pained to find an old man 82 years
of age, incarcerated as a vagrant in con-
sequence of no other provisions being
made, or hospital in connection with the
prison for persons in destitute circum-
stances. Said old man is greatly en-
feebled, both in mina and body, and
quite helpless, requiring attention which
is not only onerous, but very unpleasant.
They, the Grand Jury, consider it a great
injustice to the jail authorities that they
should be compelled to look after per-
sons of this class. They also felt that it
was to be regretted that the County
Council had not availed themselves of
the power, with which the Legislature
has mvested them, to provide a comfort-
able home for the destitute. -Signal.

French bicycle champion a,ccomplis h ed. the
unprecedented feat of riding 650 miles in
six consecutive days. On Monday he
rode 120 miles; Tuesday, 120; Wednes-

Saturday, 104; making the required to-
tal of 650.
MR. GLADSTONE.-Mr. Gladstone, who
is on a visit to the Duke of Cleveland, at
Raby Castle, Durham, addressed a num-
ber of gentlemen, at Sstaindrop, the other
day. The hon. gentleman spoke at some
length on the attitude of the Liberal par-
ty on tfie Eastern Question, and mention-
ed the fact that it was then 44 years
since he entered public life.
A Fame ALARM. -A strange° scene was
witnessed on Westminster bridge, Lon-

dusk a cab was driven rapidly on to the
bridge, and suddenlystopped when about
half -way across. A person alighted from
it, scaled the parapet of the bridge, and
plunged into the river. The eq. was
soon raised that a man had jump over,
and several boats put off to the rescue at
Huron Fall Assilzes.

others, were disposed of on Tuesday,

-On Wednesday of last week Mr. M.
Hyde Sheriff's officer, left Stratford for
Kingslon having in charge a prisoner
named Robert Shore, who had been
sentenced at the last assizes to two years'
onment in the Provincial Peniten-
tiary at Kingston. All went quietly
enough until after leaving Cobourg, when
the prisoner, feigning illness, w as allowed
to stand on the platform a few minutes.
Suddenly, with the quickness of thought,
he leaped off the platform ; the train
was going at full speed at the time,
notwithstanding which Mr. Hyde leaped
after him and succeeded in capturing
him in a cedar swamp near the track.
Pending these exciting events the train
had been arrestedsin its motion, and all
the officials and some of the passengers
were awaiting the result of this life -and -
death chase. When the prisoner waa
re -embarked after his capture he became
an object of considerable attention on
the part of the passengers. Ile was
finally safely lod.ged in the Penitentiary,
and 4vowe,d his intention of coming out
a better man. Mr. Hyde also saw Jack
Wilson, whose rumored escape had
scared not a few people both in Stratford
and Mitchell. Wilson protested that he
had been blamed for many robberies
with which he had nothing to do : he
knew the delinquents but he declined to
say who they were. He was anxious to
know whether anything would be done
with him when his present term *was
over. Wilson was working steadily in
the carpenter's shop: Mr. Hyde also
saw Pole, of Mitchell, and he looked
•
well. Pole was a sort of handy man
workinir around the place, but at no
trade. The Toronto abortionist, Davis,
was found stitchin:g clothes, at which
business he appeared to be & very awk
ward hand. His wife was running a
sewing machine. She is a handsome
woman and has managed to enlist the
sympathies of a great many Kingston
women on her behalf, much &Hier the
fashion of Grace Marks, by working
fancy slippers for the bazaars got up for
the conversion of the interesting heathen
king of Timbuctoo.
-A-very extraordinary elopement oc-
curred from the west end of the city of
Hamilton, on Saturday night last. The
circumstances of the case, which is a
most disgraceful one to the guilty par-
ties are as follows : In the vicinity of
LoComotive street there dwelt, in a dou-
ble front house, two families, named re-
spectively Burke and Knudson. In each
family there were four children ; Burke,
the head of one, was a brakeman on the
Great Western Railway ; and Knudson,
the head of the other, was a boat builder.
The two families appeared to live in
peace and harmony, their children play-
ing with each other, and their mothers;
constantly gossiping together. Burke
was more frequently away from home on
duty than Knudson, and a criminal at-
tachment sprung up betweenAKnudson
and Mrs. Burke, though apparently un-
suspected sifter by Burke or Mrs.
Knudson. The result was tha Knud-
son eloped with Mrs. Burke laa Satur-
day, Mrs. Burke taking with her two of
her children, $200,of Burke's hard earn
ings, and the 'beat of the furniture. They
went off in a yacht which Knudson had
built for a club in Collingwood. at the
expense of the club. They have not been
heard of since.- Knudson's wife is left
destitute, with four children on her
hands, while Burke is left with two, the
other two, as before stated, having been
taken away by their guilty and heartless
mother. At the time the elopement took
place, Burke was on his regular trip to
Brantford. 1
