General Key, with the members of the
Senate and House Postoffice commit
tees, leaves Monday on a tour of in

The special Congressional committee
of three Senators and six representa
tives, appointed to receive the remains
of Judge Leonard and escort them to
the tomb, leaves to night.
The Star concludes a narrative of
Representatives Harry White and J M
Thompson, of Pennsylvania, yisiting
Hayes and others thusly :
: "Nominate Mr Sullivan ?" said Sec
retary Sherman "I guess not ; for the
President has already nominated Glen
W Schofield for the position. We,
have received a telegram from Mr
Schofield laying he will accept the
office."
Then the 'two Pennsylvania Con
gre8smen looked at each other and be
gan to swear. They denounced the
administration as a tricky, hypocritical
and lying institution, and spoke bitter
ly of the manner in which the Presi
dent led them to believe that the nom
ination of register of the treasury was
still open. Mr Sherman, it is" said,
came in for his share of abuse, and. the
two irate Congressmen, after vowing
never to darken the doors of the White
House again, walked indignantly from
the Secretary's office.
The United States steamer, Swatara,
has gone to San Domingo to look after
Americans and their interests during
the revolution.
Senate Mr Hill, of Georgia, made
a strong speech c-n the funding bill for
the Union and Central Pacific Rail
roads. As illustrative of .he character
of his argument the opening phrases
are telegraphed :
He said the Senatj had before H two
bills, each proposing to establish a
sinking fund, the better to secure the
repayment of a loan made by.thajjnit
ed States ' to the :Union and Central
Pacific Railroad company. Thn;comr
parative merhs of the two bills as sink
in? fund measures he had not yet con
sidered, and would notdiscusS, and he
wishexlit to be understood, that any
thinghe might say against the bill of
the Judiciarv committee, should not
passed; and goes to the House for con
currence. . ' -
House Felton, from the committee
on Commerce, reported back Hart
ridge's bill to prevent the introduction
of contagious diseases. Hartridge's bill
is represented as philosophical and
practical.
Jones, of Alabama, contended that
Congress had no right to interfere with
the sanitary regulations of the States.
Mr Stephens took the view that the
exclusion of contagious diseases was
closely allied to the regulations of com
merce and within the control of Con
gress. The bill passed.
The contested . case from Mas
sachusetts, Dean against Field,
was taken up. Ben Butler spoke
in favor of the Democrat. The
vote on the minority -report retaining
Dean. Republican, in the seat resulted
in a tie which defeats the report. The
vote on the majority report will be
taken to-morrow. The tie will defeat it,
and retain the Republican in the seat.

Gen Ignatleff Confers With Aus
tria Diplomatic Relations
Between Turkey and
Russia Resumed.
London, March 27. The Sultan re
ceived Giand Duke Nicholas with the
utmost courtesy and cordiality. The
diplomatic relations of Russia and Tur
key are fully resumed.
A Times St Petersburg dispatch says:
"Those having the direction of affairs
here have. little hope of a solution of
the present dead-lock. The whole
question seems to be sinking from the
sphere of reason to that of passion."
' The Journal De St Petersburg declares
that Russia will not endure a position
obliging' her to maintain her. arma
ments indefinitely." The Berlin Post
remarks that the collapse of the con
gress would enforce such an attitude on
Loth Russia and England.
The Times' Berlin correspondent says :
"The Austrian idea of the congress
without England being discountenanc
ed by France and Germany, it is possi
ble that only the three chancellors will
meet in Berlin, but even this is as yet
improbable. Germany is sure to take
no proceedings against England."
1'he Times' Vienna correspondent
telegraphs as follows : " Whether Gen
Ignatieff comes here to interpret the
treaty or negotiate an understanding,
opinion here is not in favor of his suc
cess." The Daily Telegraph's Vienna dis
patch says : "Gen Ignatieff s mission
is to complete negotiations for a
scheme of parallel annexation which
has already found favor at headquar
ters here. Austria demands Bosnia,
Herzegovinia, northern Albania, and a
portion of Macedonia, including Salo
nica. Russia objects to the annexa
tion of a portion of Macedonia, but
this difficulty is by no means insur
mountable. Gen Ignatieff will go to
Berlin on leaving here. Russia, by the
advice of Germany, is conciliating Aus
tria and disregarding England. It is
believed that Russia is preparing for
war with England. Two hundred thou
sand men of the Russian landwehr were
called out on Monday."
Gen Ignatieff on leaving St Peters
burg is quoted : "I am going," said the
General, "to give to the Austrian cabi
net all the explanations they may de
sire, jregarding the preliminaries of
peace. There shall be no more room
for equivocation, and England will be
left alone in her opposition to us and
to the termination of the war."
The correspondent says : "From the
Czar himself, down through the grades
of Russian society to the humblest
peasant, there seems to be an all-per-vadiner,
unalterable resolution that the
terms of peace agreed on between Rus
sia and Turkey shall be maintained in
their entirety, and defended if necessa
ry to the last extremity. At the same
time there is an unmistakable desire to
conciliate Austria, and any concession
that would detach her from England,
even a large portion of the lurkish
territory, would be bailed with delight.
un tne otner nana , no concession to
England would he tolerated, and the
only apparent nope oi peace witn mat
power seems to remain in the abandon
ment" of the English demands." r?

This afternoon's Pall Mall Gazette
prints a Berlin special dipatch saying:
"The powers have declined a sugges
tion made fey Russia that the congress
be held without England."
The London correspondent of the
Manchester Guardian says the pros
pects for the meeting of the congress
are much improved by the assurances
that Lord Derby, foreign secretary, haa
received fronv'Uount Schouvalon, Rus
sian ambassador here, during the past
few hours. Count Schouvaloff kept
Russia's negative in his pocket nntil
he received authority to give these as
surances. There ds some fear, however,
that the smooth word may be intend
ed to quiet and entangle until General
Ignatieff can negotiate an understand
ing with Austria.
Vienna, March 27. To-day's news
papers consider that the congress has
failed and that Austria must now look
to the protection of her own interests.
FROM ROME.
The Appointment of a Xew Caraerilngo.
London, March 27. Reuters has the
following dispatch from Rome : "Car
dinal Di Pietro was appointed Pontifi

as before stated. It is reported that
the forthcoming encyclycal ;letter will
refer to the Italian government in se
vere terms, and be very reserved re

Indians on the Path.
Chicago, Match 27. Unofficial but
trustworthy information frOni Fort
Walsh confirms tne recent report of a
large confederation of hostile Indims
in that vicinity. Sitting Bull and Spot

lodges from the Missouri river agen
cies, including Red Cloud's. It is now
estimated that there are from 5,000 to
7,000 warriors within a hundred miles
of Fort Walsh. Some of these bands
have been seen by Gen Miles' scouts.
Estimated loss by the Philadelphia Fire
Philadelphia, March 27. The total

Foreign companies, $20,000 ; Philadel
phia companies, $104,250 ; other Unit
ed States companies, $136,800.

SPECI AL NOTICE.
In consequence of the impaired health of my brother, Mr
W, W. Latta, our resident managing partner, demanding
recreation from close confinement and active business, we Aaa
concluded to withdraw our concerns both here and in Chester.
"Upon my arrival, under the approach o warm weather, with
still a heavy stock of Winter Goods on hand, I find it iflex
pedient and impracticable to retire from business effectually,
and so deem it to our interest only to close out in Chester1
thereby permitting the return of our Mr. Munk, who will
represent us here in Charlotte, at such time aa I cannot be
here in person. The concern will continue as usual with the
largest and best Assorted Stock in the South, and with our
advantages in my association with an extensive Manufactur
ing House in New York, we can furnish goods here at so low
a valuation as will defy any and every effort to competition
in this market. . Our. past experience convinces us that low
prices are promptly appreciated, and it will be our effort to
produce an Attractive Stock at prices that must encourage
an active demand.
The cordial response to our recent "announcement," to
gether with the many expressions of regret for our oontem
plated severance from the community, assures us of a genuine
recognition of our "fair dealing," and will instill a redoubled
desire and determination to continue the leaders of flow
prices."
And now in soliciting the patronage of the populace at
large, with an expression of gratitude to our friends and con
stituents, we proffer them shelter under the triumphant banner
of "One Price Clothiers,'' the model system; tbe 4protective
union for one and all. Very respectfully, .
E. D. LATTA.
N. B. To vacate and make room for the arrival of our
Spring Stock, we will, for fifteen days, sell our Tali 'Goods at
