WASHINGTON.
Th2 Excitement Over the Gordon-Conkling Affair
Subsided The Reports Concerning the Af
fair Untrue Gordon Refuses to Make a
Statement Mexico Discussed.
General News and Gossip.
Washington, Dec 17 The excite
ment over the Gordon-Uonkling affair
has subsided. The forbearance of the
Southern Senators meets with general
commendation, and Senator Gordon's
conduct in the matter has met with
universal approval. An account of the
scene in executive session on Friday,
proper for the associated press to pro
mulgate, is beyond reach.
NIGHT DISPATCHE8. " t
Washington, Dec 17. Gen Sherman
has gone to St Louis.
Hoy t qualified as Indian Com mis
sioner to-day.
The special Mexican committee, of
which Conklingis chairman, had their
first meeting to day.
Gen Sherman was before them. He
apprehends no Eerious results with
Mexico, but believes the best safe
guard against the troubles is rein
forcements to the army now on the
Eio Grande.
The President has pardoned Henry
Schroder, sentenced in New Orleans for
robbing the mails.
Representative Mills, of Texas, has
assurance that troops are being hur
ried forward to release the beleagured
Texans.
Washington, Dec 17. In the Su
preme Court an order was made for re
hearing the motion in the case of the
Mobile and Ohio Kailroad, on which
the court had heretofore suspended
the supersedere. The road therefore
will not be sold until a further order
from the cnurt. A hearing was set for
the 14th of January, 1878.
The sub committee od Military Af
fairs of the House, authorized to sit
during the recess, have requested the
Secretary of War to order certain offi
cere, now on border duty, before them,
with a view of learning the exnct facts.
R 8 Baitley, special agent of the
General Land Ofth e who has been in
Mississippi lookii g after the tin ber
depiedations, reporiB that the govern
ment seizures of loas and umber, un
lawfully taken from the public lam's,
aggregate a value of $334 000.
There is unquestionable authority
for stating that any and all publica
tions purporting to give accounts of
conversations with Gen Gordon, in
reference to the recent difficulty in the
Senate, are untrue, and that he has
absolutely refused to converse with re
porters on the subject evr since the
occurrence. JNor is he willing to cor
rect any misrepresentations on the
subject that have found their way into
the papers.
THE TURCO-RUSSIAN WAR.
Reported Death and Suicide of Osman Pasha
The Rumor Corrected Germany's Participa
tion in the Mediation Depends on Russia
Greece Wants Peace The Porte's Appeal for
Peace will Have no Result.
London, December 17. The rumor
current at Constantinople Sunday, that
Osman Pasha was dead, is not credited
The Daily Telegraph of this morning.
however, asserts that dispatches have
reached London from Bucharest, that
Osman had poisoned himself, actuated
by a Mahomedan horror of amputa
tion which surgeons informed him was
necessary. The story is still doubtful
The Standard's special trora Constan
tinople Sunday, assei is that Osman
Pasha telegraphed to his family that
his wounds were progressing well.
The Berlin correspondent of the
Times telegraphs : "Germany has re
plied to the Turkish note that German
participation in the mediation depends
upon Russia's consent to parley. The
North German Gazette and the National
Gazette concur in declaring that the
powers will not listen to the Turkish
appeal."
The Times' special Pera correspond
ent says the Tuikish government ob
viously feels its capability of resistance
exhausted, and would gladly make
peace upon reasonable terms, but it
appears tohave no definite programme.
A Reuter telegram from Bucharest,
dated Sunday evening, makes no men
tion of the death of Osman Pasha.
Constantinople, Dec 17. Mahmoud
Dam ad has gone to inspect the fortifi
cations of the Balkans. The Russian
force appeared at Tashezen, between
Kamarly and Sofia and were driven
back. It is snowing heavily in the
Balkans. It is believed the passes will
be rendered impassable.
An Erzeroum dispatch says two
Russian divisions are moving to cut
the Turkish communications with Tre
bizond, and to attack Erzeroum from
the uorth.
Athens, Dec 17. The cabinet coun
cil have resolved to adhere to the peace
policy.
L'ndon, D.jc 17 A special from
Bucharesr, to the Daily Netvs says Colo
n 1 Wellfsiey, a British military at
tache, says Osman Pasha had less than
30,000 men at Pievna in bis sortie.
B"Gaet, Dec 17. The Eussiars, after
occupying -Elena, pushed forward to
Bf lbrova yesterday.
London, Dec 17. A cabinet council
was held to day. It is believed that the
object was to further consider the ques
tion of mediation in connection with
the Porte's circular.
The "bears" on the Stock Exchange
are circulating a rumor which is proba
bly utterly groundless, thatLord Derby,
foreign minister, and the Marquis of
Sanlsbury, secretary of state for India,
have resigned. t '.
A Reuter's telegram from Bacha
rest announces the arrival of the
Czar theer. It does not mention the
death of Osman. .
Constantinople, Dec 17. It is gen
erally believed here that the Porte's
appeal for the "mediation of the powers
will haye no result. . Mr Lay a rd, the
British ambassador, has informed the
Turkish government that England will
continue to observe neutrality. .

London; Dec 17s A' Reuter's Bucha
rest dispatch reports the suicide of
Osman Pasha false. There is no foun
dation for the rumor of his death.
IMPORTED SUGARS
Discussions About the Price Decision Against the
Appraiser.
Baltimore, Dec 17. The com mis-'
sion appointed by the district court,
consisting of Messrs R D Fisher, E 0
Cnamberlin, Special Ag't of the Treas
ury Department and R LRoss, to ap
praise the cargoes of sugar imported by
Messrs F H Perot and Tate, Muller &
Co, by the Mississippi and Manitou,
and seized by Special Agent Cnamber
lin for forfeiture, had a meeting this
morning and had samples of the Sugar
in controversy; before them. The ap
praisers were not unanimous in opin
ion as to the value of the sugars.
Chamberlin declined to sign the report
agreed upon .. by Messrs Fisher and
II08S, The sugars were valued by the
majority of the commission at a price
near that at which the last lots of
Demerara sugars were sold in this mar
ket. On Saturday a lot consisting of
758 bags of sugar, regarded as being of
nearly the same class, was sold by Mr
Perot to the Calvert Sugar Refinery at
7 9 16 cents per pound, and Messrs
Fisher and Ross agreed that 7 cents
would be a fair valuation, and so de
cided against the opinion of Col Cham
berlin, who contended for a much
higher figure, claiming that for some
reason or other Demerara vacuum
pan-centrifugal sugars had suddenly
fallen in the market. The appraise
ment papers were filed in the district
court. The importers will give bond
and withdraw the sugar for sale on
shipment.

ment of a Newspaper Man The Pope's Health
The Proposed Removal of the Conclave.
Rome, December 17 The vote in
the Italian Parliament, Saturday, was
on the question of ministers voting the
freedom and secrecy of telegrams, but

The vote stood 184 for, to 162 against
the ministers, which, deducting ten ab
sentees and the votes of ministers, And
secretary, and the Left, the majority
of five ministers afterwards was ac
tually defeated in the bureaux on the
question of the electoral reform, where
upon they resigned.
Signor Depretis will endeavor to re
organize the ministry by bringing in
the leaders of the dissatisfied sections.

"Sea loam, indeed ! Youmtiy talk about

friend. "That's the kind, of rolls, biscuit

A Very Good Reason.
The reason why only one sample bottle
of Menell's Hepatine for the Liyer will be
sold to the same person, for ten cents, bv
oar druggists, in Charlotte, is Decause of the
enormous expense of importing the Hepa
tine into this coantry. bat as there are fifty
doses in the large size bottles, it seems two
cents a dose is cheap enough for a medi
