Supreme Coubt. Murray vs City of
Charleston : Error to the Supreme
Court. In this case the court holds
that no municipality of a State can,
by ordinance, under guise of taxation,
relieve itself from performing to the
letter all that it has expressly promised
to its creditors. Hence," the city of
Charleston, which had agreed to pay 6
percent interest on certain United
State bonds to the holders thereof.
could not, by a subsequent ordinance,
tax those bonds, and withhold the
amount out of the interest as it falls
due. Reversed. Mr Justice Strong de
liveredthe opinion. Dissenting jus
tices : Miller and Hunt, who take the
view that the charter was created in
1781, hef ore the constitution gave the
Dower here exercised, in that the con
tract set up was made subject to it and
is not, therefore, impaired by tne ac

New York. April 8. Ex-Governor
Franklin J Moses, Jr, of South Caroli
na, was arrested on Broadway last
night and locked up. He is charged
with having forged the name of Jos
Woodruff for $316 and passing the note
upon James Allen. Moses will be ta
ken to Charleston in a few days.
Later Ex-Governor Moses is still
confined at -police headquarters. He
has eneaeed counsel, who to-day pre
sented to Judge Donahue a petition for
a writ of habeas corpus, returnable to
morrow. The petition states that the
prisoner was arieated on a requisition
Belgrade, April 8. Austria has pro
hibited Servian imports because of the
prevalence of rinderpest and spotted
typnus. i.
It is rumored at Athens that Eng
land will occupy the Island of Crete.
London, April S.-The DxUv Tele
graph's correspondent' at Pera under
stands that- Austriai has assured the
Porte that sher will oppose any effort to
enforce the aam Stefano treaty. The
Russians are desperately urging the
Sultan to surrender boa iron clads and
positions on th JJosphorus. - '
It is announced from Constantinople
that the current of feeling in the Turk
ish government is now running wholly
agaiusb Russia. , ....
The debate this Week on the address
to the Queen in, answer to the1 procla
mation calling out the reserves, is ex
pected to finally determine .England's
policy". . I he governm ent can unques"
tionably rely on a large majority in
their . favor on the main issue of ac
knowledging or resisting Russian
supremacy in Turkey, established by
the treaty at San Stefano. The with
drawal of the treaty of San Stefano or
its unconditional submission' to the
judgment of Europe are regarded as
the only alternatives to war.
Lord Lyons, tne .British ambassador-
at Paris, who was designated to repre
sent Great Britain at the congress, re
turned to that city on Saturday, which
is considered to indicate that no great
hope is felt of the speedy meeting of
the congress.
The feeling at Berlin is still sanguine
though there are no new facts to con
firm it. The belief in a peaceful solu
tion seems to rest solely on the expec
tation that Russia will yield,, not only
on the question of the submission of
the treaty to the powers, but to Eng
land's and Austria's essential objec
tions to. the treaty.
Disquiet is occasioned at Vienna by
an article in Norddentsche Zietung, last
Friday, referring to the treaty which,
after pointing out that though the
treaty does not affect Germany's in
terest, the entrance of Russia' into an
tagonism with the other neighbors and
friends of Germany cannot be a mat
ter of indinerence, and that Kuesia
could only purchase its complete ful
filment by another war.
.Nevertheless the JXorddentsctie Zie
tung hopes that in view of the general
desire for peace, an understanding will
yet be reached. This article caused a
sudden cessation of warlike utterances
by the Austrian semi-official press.
The ministerial Montctgs Kevue, is
sued last night, stated that the hope of
a peaceful settlement was justinea by
the fact that Prince Bismarck is earn
estly exerting himself to prevent ' a
Jbiuropean conflict, beveral unomciai
Vienna newspapers express the opin
ion that this is an attempt to make
Austria participate in the mistake of
San Stefano, and indicates Prince Bis
marck s desire to bully Austria into a
settlement with Russia. The language
of these journals is very bitter agains t
the German chancellor.
Constantinople advices are connict-
- . . T- nt T 1
mg. some say tnat yens jrasna, presi
dent of the council and minister of the
interior, is about to resign on account
of illness, and others say he will be
forced to retire and will be succeeded
by Reouf Pasha, now war minister,
while Osman Pasha will succeed Reouf,
both being in sympathy with Russia.
One set of dispatches say the bona fide
return home of the Kussian troops has
commenced ; another that only the de
pleted regiments are sent home to re
cruit, whose positions are immediately
filled by fresh troops from the north.
However, the general impression oi tne
news seems less pro-Russian than of
late, and there is a feeling here and in
the European colony at Constantinople
that the dislike of the Turkish people
to Russia is sogreat that the palace and
Pashas would not dare to venture on a
Russian alliance even if they wished
to.
London, April 8. A telegram from
Calcutta points out that from the Ben
gal cavalry alone it would be possible
to draw 10,000 men without the slight
est damage to the Indian service. They
are infinitely superior to the Cossacks
in training, equipment and organiza
tion.
The movements of the Russian forces
on the Danube and in Roumania seem
to indicate a determination to prepare
thoroughly against the ; contingency of
an Austrian attack in the rear. All
the passes) over the Carpathians, prac
ticable for artillery and trains, are cov
ered by the positions which the Rus
sians have just occupied. Telegrams
from Sihstria and , JSuslchucE say that
the Russian troops are constantly mov
ing from Bulgaria into Roumania.
The Roumanians are stated to be
comparatively quiet again.

While whipping a boy at school, the mas

physicians, when depending upon a limited
experience in determining thenaturesf some
delicate and complicated affection, often
' treat the wrong disease." Many times wo
men call upon their family physicians, one
with dyspepsia, another with palpitation,
anothei with trouble of the breast, another
with pain here and there, and in this way
they all present alike to themselvts end
their easy-going and indifferent doctor, sep
arate and distinct diseases, for which he
prescribes nis puis ana potions, asuramg
tneni to be such, wnen, in reality, they are
all symptoms caused by ' some nterin dis
order. While the physician is ignorant of
the cause of suffering, he encourages his
practice until large bills are made. whVn the
suffering patient is no better, but probably
worse ior tne aeiay, treatment,, ana various
complications made. A proper medicine
directed to the cause would perhaps have
entirely removed the disease, thereby insti
tuting comfort instead of prolonged misery.
Mrs Henry Patterson, of New ;York iiy,
writing to vi a v nerce, ot .Buffalo, jn. y.,
says : "I had been under an eminent phy
sician s care for eight months for what he
called "spinal disease. I became worse
during all this time, when, checcirg to fee
a copy of your Medical Adviser at the resi
dence of a friend, I read that part devoted
to 'Woman and her Diseases." I soon be
came convinced that my disease was a uter
ine affection, which, as you say, caused
sympathetic backache, inward fever, ner
vousness, and general debility. I commenc
ed the use of your Favorite Prescription and
Golden Medical Discovery, applying also
the local treatment which you recommend
in the Adviser, and in three months I was
well and strong."
