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."
One hundred thousand young shad
are en route for theChattahoochee river
in Georgia. Fifty thousand will skir
mish from Columbus, supported by
tbe same number from West Point.
Gen B F Bntler bought $150,000 new
four per cente for the National Soldiers
and Bailors Home, of which are is presi
dent. Home subscriptions to these

ed July 1, '65. The interest ceases
16tbi October.
J H Pierce, marshal of the North
ern District of Mississippi, has resign
ed to take effect 31st July. The resig

Washington, July 16. 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

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

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. Green,
and numbers about three hundred and
