Ia the mean time, those anxious about justice and diplomacy, have a rest. 1 The second infantry, enroute to rein-, force General Howard, arrived safely at Louis, and left there last night. John Nichols, of Raleigh, N. C, is here, and is strongly recommended as collector of the fourth N. C. district. Both ;he and the present incumbent areEepublicarjs. Col. Young claims under . the civil Beryice regulations; Mr. Nichols' friends nush him under the President's rule that eight years tenure does not giye the holder a title to continuance. Gen. P. B. Hawkins will accept the place on the condition that Col. Young resigns. This is an extraordinary contest, as no one of the aspirants charges the others with rascality. John A. Banslyhas been appointed appraiser of merchandise at New York. Lieutenant W. S. Simmons has been promoted captain of the revenue ma rine service, vice Pease, resigned. The following from the Star will elicit some authorized statement: "A delegation of Alabamians compos ed of Messrs Reid, Pelham, Harris and Knox called at the White House this morning. They have been in the city a good while. They claim to be repre sentatives of the true Republican par ty in the State, and on that issue seek to obtain offices in preference to carpet-baggers."

The July returns of the condition of cotton as received in the Department of Agri culture, cover the area of three hund red and seventy-one counties, produc ing six-tenths of the cotton of the United States. Seventy-three counties of Georgia are represented. The aver age Condition of the whole area is ninety-three and four-tenths per cent. four per cent, less than the July av erage of last year. It is less by seven per cent, than the average for 1876, but better than the condition for 1874 or 1873;Jonly Louisiana gives a higher average than in July of last year. The State averages are as follows: North Carolina, 88; South Carolina, 57; Georgia, 90; Florida, 95; Alabama, 94 ; Mississippi, 98; Louisiana, 102; Texas, 94; Arkansas, 94; Tennessee, 96. The crop is from one to two weeks late. In the more Northern belt, the nights have been too cold, and in many sec tions an excess of rain has retarded the cultivation and rendered the fields grassy and the plant unthrifty. Rains have been general and long continued in Texas, but fine weather is producing rapid improvement. An overflow of the Arkansas river has drowned out sixty thousand acres of cotton, f The low lands in lennessee hafe been destructively inundated, while sthe losses have been maioly London, July 16. The standard's correspondent at Turnova telegraphs Thurday that the Grahd Duke Nicholas had Arrived there. The Standard dispatch from Con stantinople reports that it is said that the Turks have beaten the Russians and re-occupied Turnova ; also that Ismail Pasha has entered the Russian territory and advanced six. miles on the road to Tiflis. A Bucharest special to the same paper says that it is reported that there has been serious fighting between Dre nova and Gabrova. The Turkish monitor which was ashore at the mouth of the Danube has been towed off by two of her consorts. The Standards Vienna correspondent states that it has been announced that the Porte has given England permiss sion to use Gallopoli as a coaling sta tion. Two Constantinople correspondents of the Times concur in the following statement: "Hobart Pasha had along interview with the. Sultan yesterday, who gave him permission to command the expedition to the Black Sea with complete liberty of action." The Times' Bucharest dispatch re- Eorts that preparations continue for attle near Rustchuk whither a por tion of the garrison of Silistova has al ready gone. It is said that all the work done by the International Danubian Commis sion will be lost in consequence of the measures taken by the Russians to ob struct the mouth of the Danube. It is variously reported that ten thousand Russians unsupported by a battery traversed the Herva Pass of the Balkans.' The Times has the following from Kars the 12th : "The Russians have fallen back from Batoum. It is rumor ed that the column will join Gen Mili Eoff and again invade Armenia." From Kuruk Dura Rasgrad, Satur day last : "The train from Rustchuk has just arrived bringing the railway authorities and the British consul. The approaches of the Russians around Rustchuk are becoming closer and closer." The Times' correspondent with the Turks telegraphs under d.-te of July 12th, from Kars : "Mukhtar Pasha with the main army is in a strongly entrenched position on a ridge eight miles south. The Russians have com pletely withdrawn from the siege. I . . m a . . have visitea their batteries which are constructed with much skill, but show traces of the Turkish fire. The Turks have a very fine force here now. The men are in excellent spirits and very confident. I doubt the possibility of Russia gaining any more sue cesses on this side this year, unless she has very strong reinforcements at Akalt Bik and Tints. The lurkish supports are steadily flowing in. The Russians dispute that their strength has sus tained a heavy reverse." The Times' correspondent with the Russian army telegraphs from Zaim, July 12th : "To-morrow we shall fall back some distance towards Alexandro- ple from sanitary considerations." The Times' Therapid dispatch says "Official telegrams report that the Russians have established a military tribunal at Selvi to try Mussulmans for the .Bulgarian massacres, and are execating men convicted on Bulgarian testimony." Berlin, July 16. A correspondent of the National Zietung writing from Tiflis, July 4th, says : "The Abchas- ians, Circassians and Leschians are in full rebellion, and have killed many thousand Russians. Only the middle part of the mountains, with an im portant road from Vladi Kankar to Tiflis is still faithful and to be relied marshaling: United Mates Troops. San Feancisco, July 15. A- Boise City dispatch of the 14th instant, says : "This evening; companies C a and F,' of the Jfirst; cayalry, and Captain Robbins company of twenty-nve scouts, will unite with company G, and Captain Bendrre s company at the Indian valley, and proceed to-morrow under Colonel G; B. Sanford to rein force General Howard,., via Wier bridge, on Salmon river.. 1 Companies B'and F, of the twelfth, and company A, of the twenty-first infantry, 'moved from this garrison to-day to follow as fast as possible after Colonel Sanford 's column. Com pany G, of the first cav alry, arrived here to-day at 1' p. m. Battery B is still behind. This is the entire command" under Col.
