THE SUMMIT COUNTY BEACON, AKKON, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1877. MODERN FINANCIERING. CONKUNQ'S COURSE. FOR 8ALE Real Estate. LOCAL LITIGATION.

THE ELECTIONS. and much-vexed problem. When the committee took up the case at the begin log vote. Not one ot ine noating newspaper charges against Mr. Welsh, such as Cuban slave-holding, got before could just as well be avoided, along with its attendant pouring out of treasure and blood, by an adequate force of regular troops on the Mexican border in the present very critical juncture of affairs.

AKRON, OHIO, NOVEMBER 14, 1877 ning of the present session, it was with a determination to dispose of it promptly, once fc all. To this end Senator Hill, of Georgia, offered a resolution that the committee accept, and recommend the Senate to accept, the settlement of the troubles in Louisiana by the people of the State as a final act. This resolution was intended as preparatory to another declaring Spofford legally elected by the Nicholls compromise Legislature of Louisiana. Pending action on Senator Hill's resolution, the contestants were invited to appear before the committee. Both Kellogg and Spofl'ord accepted the invitation and each presented the salient points of his case.

After hearing the discussion Sen ator Hill's resolution was rejected by a strict party vote. Thereupon Senator Merrimon introduced a resolution asking the committee to inquire into the respective claims of the contestants, and to that end investigate which of the two Legisla tures in Louisiana in January and May last was the lawful Legislature of tneState. The unanimous vote adopting this resolution was a surprise to the Democrats, who thought that the Republicans would insist upon seating Kellogg solely upon his prima facie title. Since then the attention of the committee has been directed to a consideration of the claims of the Returning Board to a legal existence and the legality of the Legislature that elected Kellogg to the Senate. The resolutions of Senator Hoar, submitted Saturday, were no doubt in the line of this inquiry.

Of course the Democrats will oppose Kellogg's admission on both of the above propositions, but the World correspondent says that it no unforeseen cause intervene, Kellogg will have a majority of the committee on the final ballot, and thus one of the great bug-a-boos of tne Senate will be disposed of. A WAR MENACE FROM MEXICO. Representative Schleicher and his Democratic confreres from Texas seem to have good reason for their well-direct ed attacks upon the army Bill, in tne face of a tremendous pressure on the part of the majority. Indeed, the House ap pears not to have grasped the real gravity of the diplomatic dead-lock at present existing between our Government an Mexico; nor is there a decently intelli gent apprehension among the rabid Dem ocratic statesmen of the great need of an adequate army of protection along the Texan frontier. It may be, too, that Sec retary of State Evarts is making the fata! mistake of delaying too long before rec ognizing the Diaz Government, in the hope of concluding a more advantageous international treaty a delay which, must be admitted, has until recently been apparently unavoidable on account of the chaotic Btate of affairs in our neighboring republic, but which, in the light of later events, seems scarcely justifiable.

Upon how good ground' this criticism is based will appear from the appended facts gleaned from a late letter written by correspondent in the City of Mexico the New York.TTorW. From the letter in question it appears that hostility to our Government is not only the universal ta'k among Mexicans but is also the open and avowed sent! ment of nearly all.of their public journals. Absurd as it may appear, the feeling seems to be that a comparatively small army could defy the United States and wrest Texas from our authority with very little difficulty. This feeling, it Is just to say, is not shared in by President Diaz and his immediate advisers, who are sin cerely desirous of maintaining peaceful relations with our Government; but what IWhIu. .1..

J- all against them Here, for instance, is "A Veteran Frontiersman," who writes to La EpcactYDg for the assembling of 200,000 guerillas, to be followed by 500, 000 more, who, with sticks and machetes, shall cross the border, overcome the fee ble Texans and with their captured arms hold the entire United States at bay, while our shipping is seized and our commerce destroyed. Singularly enough, the Epoca, whose editor was educated in the United States, endorses the crazy scheme and adds: "If the rumors now in circulation are not contradicted, we will enlarge upon these ideas." Even wilder is the project broached by El It sees in Hayes's recent visit to the South a deep plot to secretly arm the people of that section for a sud den strike at Mexico, and significantly adds: "The studied postponement of the rec ognition ot tne legitimacy ot our Govern ment, at a future day may come exchange for the recognition by Mexico of the Republic of the Center, which will be composed ot the States ot the South wnn mis excnaDge oi recognition mav come an offensive and defensive alliance with the restitution to the Republic Mexico of part of her territory." Subtantially the same couise as above indicated is counseled by the Colonia Es panola, the Spanish organ, which flings out this open defiance: "Now the question refers to the national honor, to the hushing of the boasts of in solent enemies who trust to their immense power what they probably would not trust to tneir valor. Let all Mexicans unue, let them prepare tnemselves, withont con sternation and without carelessness. Btruggle like men. In the mean time let tne army go to the frontier, and we will see if the Yankees will overrun the points defended by regular troops with the same facility as when there have been no forces to block their passage." Even the Foreign Review, the official organ of the Mexican Government, bitter ly criticises the delay of our Government in extending its recognition, and con cludes with these words "No country has the faculty to inquire into, or quauiy, tne legitimacy or titles of another Government, and when Mex ico has an administration recognized ana ooeyea inrougnout its entire territo ry wnen tne most perfect peace reigns inrougnout tne same, and when, in i word, the country meets all its Comoro mises, both at home and abroad, the Government has the undeniable right to nave useii represented near ottier na tions, a right which they cannot ignore without a manifest violation of interna tional law." Finally comes La Gacetilla, Mexico's Puncli, with a cartoon in which half a dozen lean, lank, long-haired, rough- bearded soldiers, armed to the teeth, are seen staggering backwards in terror and dismay, dropping their weapons and preparing lor uignr, on the appearance before them of half their number of stal wart Mexicans, with flapping sombreros, who carry revolvers in their belts, but are advancing upon their despised enemies with but stout cudgels in their hands.

This insulting caricature is la' beled "The First Passage of the Frontiers by the Yankees," and is supplemented by the following editorial utterance: lae mexican government has now 40,000 regular troops under arms. In a tew days it will have 75.000. Add to these 85,000 rural guards, and we have 110,000 men. Quite enough to handle 220,000 Yankees." The New York World, editorially com menting on these facts, is forced to admit that "The Mexican DeoDle eecerallv have become convinced that the United have insulted the sovereignty of Mexico; and as they insanely underrate the power "i uiin uuuniry.ana nave Deen inspired by v. I- the condition of our forces on the Rio Grande with no very lofty ideas of the prowess of American troops, they are fast working themselves ud to the belief that a favorable opportunity is now offered them for readjusting the frontier between the two countries to their own advantage." To all of which may be added that the action of the Democrati: majority in the House in stubbornly insisting upon a re duction of our already insignificantly small army can have but one tendency that is.to invite a war with Mexico which, while it could not but result in our favor.

Washington, Nov. 12. In the Senate Mr. Conkling rose to a personal explanation, and referred to a publication on Friday last, in the New York Herald, purporting, in some general come trom him. It did not profess to be a report literally of anything said by him, but professed to be a narrative of private conversations, and he disclaimed accura cy.

As generally read, it seems to have been accepted as something which had come to be known as an interview. He desired to state that for some months he had not held an Imerview for publication with any one, save in one instance, and then in regard to the usefulness and ser vices here ot the dead Senator trom Indiana. Ia all other instances he had de clined to be interviewed. The Herald's statement contained some remarks which he made in a casual conversation at times. It contains other remarks which he never made at any time.

It ascribes to him forms of expression quite indefinite, to say the least. Words like these, in the presence ot the gratifying and great achievements ot the Republicans of New xorK, ne was in no mood to utter. Cincinnati Commercial Special. Washington, Nov. 11.

Diligent in quiry about the Republican Senatorial caucus ot yesterday, elicits the fact that there was more than the usual tacit agree ment to the effect that all knowledge of the proceedings should be kept trom the public, esprcially the remarks ot Individ-ual Sena'ors up subject! under discussion. The fact is that this caucus had in contemplation for some time, but was put on upon various ore texts until alter the State elections, 'ine object was to give members an opportunity to make known tneir views upon various ques tions ot leading about wnich there was known to be a wide diversity ot opinion. Senator Anthony was chairman of the meeting, which was altendcl by all the Republican members of the Senate.

inkling is said to have been ex ceedingly bitter at times, so much so as to astcnish many of those present. He charactsrized it es a trading Administration, and said that he recalled one trader who hal not profited much by receiving the 30 pieces of silver, for he immediately went away and hanged himself. The present Administration has been trading by giving and getting anything ia return. It is also said that Edmunds spoke in a strain similar to that of Conkling, much To tne ot tne meeting. The effort to arrive at an understanding, by which the Ssnatsrs would ta sustained in objections to the appoint ments in their States, was no mote sue cefsful than the attempt to bipd those pr- c3ni io vote as a unit tor tne aamis.

lhe large store house owned by Heaton at Rouse' Point was recently burned. Later developments indicate that there were some irregularities obliterated by the conflagration, as it is stated that the United States Government officers were about to seize this store-house, believing it contained smuggled goods. The insurance policies amounting to $16,000 were surrendered to the compan ies against which they were held.

An armed band of men, headed by an English subject, at the point of a pistol, drove the American cons sul from the consulate, and compelled him to seek refuge on a French gunboat. The German and English consuls seem- also to have leagued together for the purpose of taxing the life out of the suffering inhabitants, and if there isn't trouble down in that vicinity pretty soon it will be because Uncle Jonathan has lost his ancient reputat'on for pluck and deter mination. The triangular fight ia Chautauqua County, New York, wherein the Republicans, Democrats and Temperance men were pitted against each other.resulted in a surprise all around. The Temperance men were confident of electing one and possibly two of their men the Democrats were hoping to make capital out of the Republican dissensions, and the Repub licans were almost ready to concede the defeat of one or two of their candidates Instead of any of these events occurring, the entire Republican ticket was elected bv eood. healthy majorities, much to the astonishment of all parties concerned.

According to a Washington special to the Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette, number of prominent Republicans have had conferences with the President in which the results of the elections were re ferred to. The President uniformly stat ed that he was not unconcerned; that viewing the field calmly there was no special canse for apprehension; that aside from issues and in dependent candidates some such results were natuarally anteced ent to a reorganization of the party, with all the advantages anticipated from harmony and new issues. Among the first moves after the death of Pope Pius the Ninth, it is said, will be the abolishing of the right of veto in the election of Pope, claimed as the preroga- tive of France, Spain and Austria. This determination has been hastened by a re cent notification by Bismarck that the German Empire of to-day is the lineal descendant of the "Holy Roman Empire of the past and inherits all its rights and privileges. To get out of this difficulty, the Vatican proposes to repudiate the au thority of France, Spain and Austria, and thus remove the occasion for Bismarck' contemplated action.

The "defiance" has ended in what looks very much like an apology. Senator Conkling, finding that he could not lead the Republican Senators to revolt, yes terday arose in the Senate and disclaimed the New York Herald interview in most of its essential features. Says a corre spondent in regard to his appearance on the floor: "Mr. Conkling spoke quietly and apparently without much feeling, al though it was evident to the Senate that he was greatly annoyed at the reported interview." Annoyed he undoubtedly was, but more at the result of the Senato rial caucus than the wording of the Her ald interview. That great and gifted scalp-snatcher, Sitting Bull, we are told by our afternoon dispatches, wept at the conclusion of his recent interview with the Canadian Com' missioners who were charged with the duty of offering him a permanent home within the Queen's Dominions.

The hope of the bloody hero of a hundred massacres is, however, turned to gall by the addi tional statement that he swore undying fealty to the Queen and promised that when his braves became strong enough he would return and fight the Americans to the death. Oh, Sitting Bull, Sitting Bull, we fear those were only crocodile tears and you were simply trying to bamboozle our Canadian cousins. Come now, own up were you not iriaay's iNew lork Tribune con tains a careful review of the probable ef feet of the House silver bill if it becomes a law. It is from a publicist of rising reputation (Mr. George Walker) who has favored and continues to favor the double standard, but who holds that the present scheme will defeat the very ends sought to be rained by remonetization.

He shows conclusively that there is a grow ing feeling all over Europe in business circles in tavor of the double standard but holds that the United States are threatened with monetary isolation by the Bland bill and that the benefits of bimetallic system will be lost by it. These views are commended to those who im agina that to oppose any silver bill, how ever foolish, is to oppose remonetization itself. I he House Democrats in caucus on Friday for the peaceful purpose of nom inating a Chaplain, got into a wrangle over the Army Bill and finally adopted a resolution that it was not expedient this time to insist on a restrictive clause with reference to the use of troopa.in the South In the Army Appropriation Bill, but to reserve action thereupon until the regular session, and the Army Bill for the next fiscal year is reported. It was in pursuance of this, that the Texas dele- gation voted with the Republicans yesterday against any decrease in the army and finally compelled the majority to give them an amendment providing that the army shall not be increased above what it was on the first, of November, except cavalry regiments for service in Texas, which shall be recruited up to their full quota. This was adopted by a vote of 125 to 115.

Mr. Schleicher said he was satisfied this amendment would afford ample protection to the Mexican border, but at the expense of the infantry regi ments in other parts of the country. Referring to the talk of some dis satisfied Republicans, that President Hayes ha3 "gone back upon" the Repub lican party, Mr. H. V.

Boynton, the Cin cinnati Gazetted Washington correspondent, pertinently asks whether it is not the real fact that these same Republicans are trying to "go back upon" the Cincinnati platform, and adds this, proba bly from his personal conversations with the President -Ana yei mere is not a man am one mem wno Knows tne President but is obliged to admit, when questioned closely, that such a purpose on his part is thor oughly at variance with the record of his political life. If they would go now and laiK ireeiy wnn nim as opportunity oc curs, they would find him as thoroughly grounded in every essential of Republican faith aa they themselves profess to be. The vague charge, so lightly tossed about in Washington, tnat 'Hayes has gone back on nis is as unlounded ana as un just as any charge which can be framed in words. And because this is so, the repetition of it can not ba persisted in without making those who utter it re- sponsible for as great damage to the party as they charge Hayes with inflict ing." KELLOGG TO BE SEATED. Although the Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections reached no con clusion at its Saturday sitting, there seems to be very litte doubt but that it will agree to-day or to-morrow in favor of seating William Pitt Kellogg as Senator from Louisiana.

New York, Nov 11. The Times says the "latest and most trustworthy returns'' from tne State election place the Democratic majority at only 11,412, a tailing off of some thousands from earlier estimates. In 1875, the last "off year," the Democratic majority in the State was 14,798. In 1975 the Democratic majority in New York County was this year it is just nine votes less. "As the returns come in," says the Times, "it is expected that the majority for Beach will be considerably lessened."

LeBau, who sues to revoke the will ot Cornelius Vanderbilt, came to trial before Surrogate Calvin this afternoon, the amount for which she seeks being $1,000, 000, and the amount of the estate 000. Mr. Lord, for Mrs. LeBau, daughter of the testator, said $95,000,000 was given to one son by indulgence, delusions or diseases; that the testator's mind was unduly influenced, and his desire to perpet uate his great wealth in the name of Vanderbilt overruled his judgment. Dan iel Pi Allen, son-in-law ot the late Commodore, testified that the Commodore had spoken of his wife as neat, physically and mentally, and then sent her to a lunatic asylum; that William H.

Vandeibilt said, when talking of a governess who had gone away and been written old man is bound to fall under the influence of some woman, and it she don come oacs I am bound to replace her." He (William H. Vanderbilt) named a woman who came to the house and remained until Mrs. Vanderbilt re'urned from the asylum Witness further testified that the Commo dore would speak disparagingly of Wil liam, and the latter would oi nis (tne Commodore's) stinginess.

Heavy Cloads Over the French Horizon Desperate Measnres Talked Of. Loudon, Nov. 7. A Paris correspondent says: It is said the Bonapartists and Monarchists have resolved, if their elections are declared invalid by wholesale, to resign in a body and thus furnish the Senate a legitimate pretext for fresh dissolution. It is asserted, with some appearance of truth, that the Ministry con template a second dissolution, a dec laration of a state of siege and temporary defrayment of the expense of the gov- eminent by taxes voted by the Senate, the issue ot tne treasury bonds and employment of savings banks deposits.

11. Late advices from El Paso say that it is now believed that there were a number of emissaries of Lerdo in the band of Mexicans which crossed the Rio Grande about two weeks ago and had a fieht with the Indians on Texas soil. While ostensibly following the In dians there seems to be no doubt that the real object of these Lerdoists is to stir up a new revolution, ana possiDie, over throw Diaz. This band of Mexicans have not left yet and are infringing and doing everything in their power to precipitate war between the (jnited states and JLuaz Government in the hope of overthrowing the latter and again obtaining power for themselves. It is said that Lerdo agents are very active all along the Rio Grande, and are also plotting within the army of Diaz.

They Don't Beconcillate. Memphis, Nov. 12. Some months ago Mack Williams and some of his friends residing some four miles north oi Raleigh, in this county, were engaged in a row with some colored men, and shot two of them. Since then a reign of terror has existed in that section.

Wendell Phillips on Sumner. Philadelphia, Nov. 8. Wendell Phillips lectured to-night before a large audience, and answered Mr.

ish's reply to his charge against General Grant rela. tive to the General's remaras on the character of Sumner. Phillips warmly eulogized Sumner, combatting the alle gation- of his (Sumner's) incompetency or tardiness, and asserting that the reason of his removal Irom the Senate Foreign Relations Committee was on account ot his antagonism to the proposed San Domingo acquisition. "Mr. Sumner," said Mr.

Phillips, "said that Fish urged him to go to London as united States Minis ter, absent himself from the Senate, and let San Domingo pass. For this Sumner rebuked him, and ever afterward their relations were cool and distant." After the lecture Phillips was warmly congrat ulated by a number of prominent anti slavery people. A 21,000 Safe Cincinnati, Nov. 11. The Commercial publishes the following: A great sensa tion was caused at JtSatavia, Clermont County, Ohio, yesterday, by the news, which rapidly spread, thai the reasury had been robbed.

The story as it stands may be Dntny told. Batavia is the county seat of Clermont, about 16 miles from Cincinnati. At noon yesterday, Mr. A. N.

Robinson, County Treasurer, went into his ottice to pay oil a jury in attend-' ance on the court, tie was surprised to discover that he had not money enough the outer compartment oi me vault to meet the demand, and opened the inner safe, where a large amount of cash was stored.
