Reuters have the following : "Constantinople, Feb. 23 A draft of the ' peace conditions con tained the stipulation that the six principal Turkish iron clads should be ceded to Russia, on the ground that otherwise the Porte might sell them to England. The Sultan objected to this stipulation. He -stated that, he would prefer to destroy the vessels and Jromieed not to transfer them to any breign power. The incident termin ated by the Sultan undertaking not to sell the iron clads to England, in con sideration of which Russia withdrew her demand for their immediate ces sion. It is understood that the treaty of peace is on the point of being signed. It is probable the Russian Grand Duke Nicholas will visit tbe buitan here." - The Times1 Vienna special confirms the report that the Czar has threatened to occupy Constantinople. ' The Porte hesitates to subscribe to Russia's conditions of peace, which virtually abolish Turkish domination in Europe, except in the immediate neighborhood of Constantinople, i The Porte holds constant cabinet councils without result. St, Petersbubg, Feb. 23. The Oolos, in its issue of to-day, . says, regarding the proposed peace negotiations, "eith er the British squadron should with draw to Eesika Bay or the Porte should receive proof that it reckons in vain upon the presence of the British iron clads in the sea of Marmora. Turkey should be informed that if peace is hot signed at the earliest practicable date hostilities will be. resumed." London, Feb. 23. The Times and Daily Telegraph both regard the situa tion as very unsatisfactory. The Daily Telegraph says nothing could well be darker than the prospect. The Times in its leading editorial article says that it considers the . situation very un satisfactory. "Europe," says the arti cle, is armed to toe teeth and is in creasing its armaments day by day. In such circumstances the country can but give its confidence to the govern ment and trust j they will be able to control the dangerous susceptibilities wnich nave on all sides been aroused." The Manchester Guardian publishes a Pera dispatch, which says : "Great anxiety prevails here. The Russian armaments have passed Adrianople for torpedo service in the gulf of Saros and the sea of Marmora." A Belgrade dispatch to the Times says a leeling ot animosity against Russia is prevalent here.

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES. WASHiiraTON. Feb 23. Thomas P Cheney, superintendent of the New England postal service, is under com plicated charges, including the certifi cation of vouchers for services never rendered.

Marine Items, The signal service station at Sandy Hook. New York harbor, reports at 10:30a m as follows: "Chapman re- gorts that the schooner, Thomas G mith, from Georgetown, S C, which came ashore .February lUtn, nas about one third of her cargo of rosin still in her hold. She lies on a . bad side and is expected to break in two on this high water, xne running rigging nas oeen saved : also, a part of tbe cargo, in a damaeed condition. The steamer. City of Martrord, irom New York for Hartford, is derelict. She is supposed to have made some harbor to avoid the storm. LATER.The steamer. City of Hart ford, has arrived. safely at Hartford, Conn. She had anchored during the The Sec rest Case. Heretofore the evidence against Hoke C. Seer est, charged with the murder of his wife and step-daughter, has only traced him together with his wife and her child from his home, in Union county, to Mr. Bollinger's, a few miles this side of Newton, where he Itayed all night on the 6th of March. Cant J. M. Mull, living in the lower end of this county, on tne road leading from this place to Charlotte, informs us that a man, an swering to Secrest's description, applied at his house on the evening of the 8th for lodging for the night, but receiving no encouragement went on to Mr John Honey's, where be stayed all night, and that Mr JbLosey Burns, started to (. har- lotte on the morning of the 9th March, on business for Capt Mull, and joined the man at Mr. Honey s, and they traveled together to Charlotte. Mr. Burns, we understand, says the man gave his name as Secrest, and says he has no doubt of the man now in jau being the man he traveled with, and that he parted with him in Charlotte on the 10th of March. This connects the link of evidence necessary to trace Secrest from the time he left home until he returned and was seen by his neighbors at his home on the 11th of March. Mr Burns and others who saw Secrest say he bad no woman or child with him, as he returned. He stopped on the night of the 10th with Mr. Fite, near the Tuckasege Ford on the Ca tawba river.
