'Newest Styles" and North Carolina As-ain The President in Favor of Ap pointing Democrats to Office. Washikgtoh, July 17. An old Der- eonal Ohio friend of the President in formed him yesterday tnat the feeling against his Southern policy was very strong in some sections, and that the outlooK was -not favorable for a Re publican victory 4n : October. This geutleman.alluding to the order forbid ding officials from participating in po litical campaigns, says that it will hate a. disastrous effect, adding : "Unless the better class of citizens come for ward and take a hand in the political contests, and direct the campaigns, the control oi tne party machinery will pass into the bands of political bum mers, who will manipulate elections in their own interest. It was the otin- ion of this gentleman that the Presi dent would see the necessity of re scinding his order regarding Federal omciais ai;er the very nrst election is held. Further trimming: of the President's order allows the members of the Na tional Republican Committee to hold their places on the ground thatHhey have no functions until the soring: of 1780. Early this morning Governor Mat thews of West Virginia, called out the militia at Martinsburg, to control a railroad strike. The Department of Agriculture re ports that the improvement in cotton since the June report, is just two per cent, ranging in the States from the North, and in Arkansas to six per cent in North and South Carolina, the region in which small and healthy plants with clear culture, promised the most rapid improvement under favoring suns. Statistician Dodge leaves for the White Sulphur Springs to-morrow to. attend the cotton convention. The Commissioner of Internal Rev. enueisof the opinion that there will be no changes in the collectors of that serrice in JNortn Carolina within two months. The same feeling, though unavowed, pervades all the depart ments, and the removals, except for cause so palpable as assure senatorial sanction, will be exceptional, some patriots may be persuaded to resign in the interest ot the President s policy. It is stated on excellent authority that Colonel J. P. Morphis will be ap pointed marshal for Northern Missis sippi. The dispatch this morning that the members of the National Republican Commi t ;e would resign was based upca a free chat between Gov. McCormick, the Assistant Secretary, and the Presi dent. It was a true dispatch at noon, but in the Cabinet to-day, with Gov. McCormick representing the treasury, it was determined that the rule should apply to theNationalCemmittee. Gov. McCormick with one or two others, will withdraw, leaving enough to run the machine, unless the hope of office induces them to resign from the com mittee. 4 It is said that the postponement of further changes in the Federal offices in the South, is due to differences in the Cabinet. The President is strong ly backed by Secretary Thompson of theNavy,m favor of allowing some of tt e officers to be Democrats. The rest of the Cabinet, except Key, are stubborn in their opposition. CaDt. Jop. Hielderheimer. of North Carolina, will probably be appointed consul to Bremen. The Interior Department was repre sented in the Cabinet to day. Most of the time was devoted to a considera tion of Mexican affairs. The Mexican government, according to Ord's dis patches, having promised to prevent raids.no further action will be taken by the federal government unui me Mexican authorities fail to fulfill their promises to Gen. Ord. War Notes. London, July 17.-The Russians under the Czarowitch occupied Vitova. on the railroad between Rasgrad and Rust- chuk, cutting communication on that linel ' -:' It is reported from Sim nit za. that the Czar has left for.Turnova. The Porte intimates that i he will not open the, Dardanelles to the vessels of any power ; not s promising - support against Russia. - , -, The capture of Niconolis involve the surrender of Hassan and Achmet Pasha's six thousand and five hundred men;; forty guns and two monitors. All other accounts represent that the Turks evacuated Nicopolis before the Rus sians entered the town. The Daily Newtf Simnitza special particularly reports that they manag ed with no little skill to carry off fortv guns, which constituted the armament of the fortress. Another dispatch to the News, dated Obin Tinik, July 13th, says : "Gen Gourka's command will operate as a detached force in the Rou nellian valley until it is joined there by the main body of the Russian in vading column, marching by a more practicable but circuitous route through the Balkans by way of Drena- va, Gubnova, Kasanlik, and Eski Sag ra. This main force will consist of five divisions, or eighty thousand men, net including Gen Goaki's advance con tingent of some fifteen thousand more. Two divisions are already inTuroova. I believe that it is intended that the emperors Bhall join the Czar in Tur nova." " A dispatch to the Daily Telegraah from Yeni Sagra, gives a long and somewhat sensational account of a battle on Sunday evening at Felditch, twelve miles from Yeni Sagra. which is represented to have been obstinately contested, and to have resulted in the Russians being driven back through the pass. Ihe Telearaphs Bucharest corres pondent states that the Russians will construct a substantial bridge at Nico polis. The reported destruction of the bridge at Sistova by two monitors is not confirmed. A dispatch to the Daily News from Obentenik has the following : "After blockading the fortresses of the Quad rilateral, one hundred thousand men are ready to cross the Balkans by the western lines of invasion, exclusive of Gen Zimmerman's army in the eastern section of the theatre of war; As re gards supplies, the Russians are deter mined to leave nothing to chance. Bucharest is the great central depot, and contains stores of meal, to which the supplies of rice for the relief of the Bengal famine were a mere bagatel. Sistova will be the intermediate, And Turnova the advance depot as regards the Russian army of Kustchuk. A rapid advance on Rustcbuk does not seem imminent. The cavalry division forming4the outposts of the army, exs tend from a point on the Danube, twelve miles west of Rustchuk, to forty miles inland, facing the Turkish fore- tmost position on the river Lorn, bmall forces are pushed forward, but the mass of the division has been stationary lor about week." marH 1 N connection with the Furniture Businof s 1 of Mr E G Ropers, at my old stand on Bonth Trade Street, I will conduct the Un dertaking Business on my own account, giving it my personal attention. .. ?

A suit for $4,600,000 was begun against the Uni versal Life Insurance Company. This has given rise to the expectation that there are to be additional and more startling developments relative to the management of the Universal, and es- peciaiiy concerning tne manner in which the Universal absorbed the Guar dian Mutual. The suit is te recover from the Universal the assets of the Guardian Mutual, estimated, it is un derstood, at $4,600,000, and charges of the most serious character are made against the present managers for the absorption of the Guardian Mutual by tne universal.
