A Poor Chance for Turkey. New York, June 3. The limes' special cable from Con stantinople says that the corruption and bribery which are rife every where destroy all chances of Turkish success. There are no horses, no money, and no order iu the manage ment of affairs. All the carriage horses in the country have been seized by the government for war purposes. Another body of the Softas were excited to-day. They were accompanied to the vessel on which they took their departure by a large number of sympathizers. The Snltan is a nonentity with 300 wo men and 5,000 persons of all classes to feed daily. The strain on the treasury is intense. There is not a particle of patriotism among the of ficials to give ground for the slight est hope. Contracts for any stores and equipments are awarded by means of bribery of the officials hav ing the matter in charge. The ad vertisements in the newspapers of contracts open to general competi tion are mere shams, and are con nived at by the Minister of War and those who surround him. The constitution of the country is also a stram, and is disregarded in every possible manner. The Parlia mentary deputies are retiring to their homes in disgust, and the laws which have been passed will never bepntin force. Ths Minister of War, how ever, eays that Turkey will fight to the last. The Sultan has given up all hope of aid from the English go vernment. . London, Jnne 3.

Greece Preparing. Athens, June 2. The Greek government has issued an order calling out all the reserves for active service, and offering to en list volunteers. Berlin Stirred. New Yoek, June 3. A dispatch from Berlin says that in diplomatic circles in that city great political importance is attached to the present visit of Lord Odo Russell, tbe British ambassador to England. Many rnmors have been in circulation of late relative to the part which England is likely to take in the present Eastern complications, and a feeling is gaining ground that an Anglo-Austria alliance against Russia, with the co-operation under certain conditions of France, is one of the possibilities of the near future. In any event, Lord Odo Russell's visit at the present juncture is looked upon as being of more than usual significance. Another diplomatic event, which is much spoken of, is tbe probable visit of Count Schou va loff, the Russian Minister to England, to Prince Bismarck, at Kissengen, on his return from St. Petersburg to Xondon. Cladeione'e Influence. London, June 2. There is considerable political ex citement over Gladstone's speech Thursday at Buckingham, and his de claration that Russia bad no intention of interfering with the British pos essions in tbe East. Gladstone is supported by tbe working classes, and it is believed be will, with Bright and tUr nnnnnentH of the present Con- rr servative Government, form tbe nu cleus of a ring of Liberalise. Ihe political situation is actively discussed in all circles. Great Britain is now mobilizing her troops with tbe probable object of anng precautionary measures to pro The VOL. XX. NO. 64 tect her interests in India, which are believed to be in danger from Russian interference. Hnssli Refuses. Berlin, June 3. Russia refuses all applications of British officers to accompany the army as spectators. The British military attache at St. Petersburg has, after confidential inquiry, re commended his countrymen not to repeat or press such applications. A Fatal Kencontre m Northampton. Special dispatch to Index-Appeal. Weldon, N. C, June 2. John M. Moody, a citizen of North ampton county, and well known in Petersburg, was shot and instantly killed by Jesse D. Brantly near the residence of the latter this evening. The act, I learn, was done in self defence. Mr. Brantly is a gentleman of very quiet and peaceable disposi tion. The difficulty arose from his being witness in a suit against Mr. Moody. Senex. Special telegram to the dispatch. Weldon, N. C, June 2. An altercation took place near here to-day between John M. Moody and Jesse D. Brantly, both citizens of Northampton county,in which Moody was fatally wounded. The cause of the difficulty was that Moody had said Brantly perjured himself in a recent law-suit against Moody. To day Moody, passing Brantley's resi dence; was acoosted, and an explana tion asked; whereupon Moody re plied by firing five shots in quick succession at Brantly, who drew a pistol and fired twice, killing Moody instantly. Brantly is said to be very quiet and inoffensive, and the other quite the reverse. Suicide at Siateaviile. Raleigh Observer. This morning Mr. L. L. Howell, while out fishing, about two miles from this place, discovered the dead bodv of a woman. She had taken a seat on the bank of a small stream, and by the use of three-fourths of an ounce of opium forgot this world and its cares, and sought another. The following unfinished note was found by her side, and it leaves the cause of her unhappy fate enveloped in mys tery and the coroner's jury in dark ness : "I have a secret to tell, and I want everybody to know it. I wnt down to uncle Joe Barkley's to live, and I stayed there one year lacking five days, and I took chills and fever and was down and np two months, and when I got well on or about the time the snow was on the ground, and " Her secret is with her in another world. The effect of the opium which she had purchased that day was speedier than she expected, and the world can never know of the act that produced such desperation. Her death in this usually quiet town, and "l wonder wnat tne secret was," is about all you can hear. W. A. P. North Carolina Iron Being out to a Sharp Use. Asheville Citizen. Gen. Robert B. Vance has had sent him by Messrs. Rees & Wilder, of Chattanooga, Tenn., a beautiful razor and a most excellent knife, made in Sheffield,England,by Messrs. Brookes & Crookes. A circular accompany ing this cutlery says: "The blades of this cutlery are only two- removes from the ore, the ore being worked in a 'Catalan' fire and hammered direct ly into a bar of wrought iron. The wrought bar is then melted in a cru oible and the steel is thus produced, The ore from which the cutlery is made is taken from the Magnetic Ore Belt of Iron Mountain, on the line be t ween Carter county, Tennessee, and Mitchell county, North Carolina, and is locally known as the Cranberry Vein." Large and Disastrous Conflagration. Special to tbe Journal of Commerce. Union, S. C, June 3. A destructive fire took place here about 12 o'clock to-day. Tbe esti mated loss is from $75,000 to $100, 000. Tbe cause of the fire is un known, but it is supposed to have been from carelessness. Ihe insu ranee will amount to from $30,000 to $40,000.

Bond, of the United States Circuit Court, and Judge G. W. Brooks, of the United States District Court, presiding, convenes in this city on Monday.

There were prayers in some of the churches on Sunday for rain. Stationary or lower barometer, stationary temperature, southerly winds and clear or partly cloudy weather, are the indications for this section to-day.

J. R. Davis, of the Purcell House, left here for Norfolk, yesterday, for the pur pose of making arrangements to open a ho tel at that place.

Mayor Dawson had three cases before him yesterday morning, for drunkenness and disorderly conduct, two of whom were fined $5 each and the other $10. Nothing was said about costs or working on the streets. In fast, we learn that our new Mayor entertains the idea that the "chain gang" costs more than it comes to. JUNE 5 1877. Another Successful Raid Recovery of more stolen Property. Officer Can made another raid upon the house of Lucy Nixon, corner of Ann and Eleventh streets, yesterday morning, and brought to light a number of stolen articles in addition to those recovered on Satur day, among which may be mentioned a hen belonging to David Johnson, colored; three goslings, identified as the property of Israel Martin, living at the Hamilton place, five of which were stolen from him on the same night of the attempted assassination of Mr. Oscar Grant, Martin having heard the firing at his place, which is but a short distance below the Johnson or Lippitt place, where the assault occurred; a coat stolen from Mr. Thomas Monk, on the Market street road, before referred to; a monkey wrench, identified as the property of Capt. F. M. Wooton, in the same vicin ity; a monkey wrench, identified as the property of Mr. John Oldenbuttel; a lot of spool cotton, tbe property ef Mr. Mc Earchin, being among the articles taken from his store when it was broken open; a carpenter's plane, of small size, with tbe initials P. J. on one side and C. H. E. on the reverse; two pair of shoe makers' pincrcs, not identified ; a fore-plane with the initials J. R. on one side; one small monkey wrench, not identified; a lot of young chickens, not identified; a hand saw, not identified; a pair of scales and weights not identified ; a lock removed from tbe stable door of Mr, John Meyer on the night of the 10th inst., to which Officer Carr had the key, there not being another lock like it. perhaps, in town; a lady's small gold neck chain; a gold handker chief slide; a bunch of keys; three bens and a rooster, identified as the property of Capt May, residing near the corner of Market and Thirteenth streets, whose fowl house was robbed recently; and a silver fork, with the name "Veranda" engraved on the handle. I Enough haaflready been discovered in this nest of thieves and housebreakers to show that Ellerby and his confederates in crime have long been carrying oh a syste matic war upon the property of citizens of this place, and that they are without doubt tbe most inveterate set of thieves ever un earthed in Wilmington. Since the above was written Special Dep uty C. H. Strode, accompanied by Mr. George Bates, clerk at Mr. T. H. Smith's grocery store, made a search at the Nixon house for a clock which was among the ar ticles stolen when Mr. Smith's store was broken open some twelve , or eighteen months ago, but not finding it there, they acted upon another clue, which led them to a house on Eleventh, between Ann and Nun streets, but a short distance from the Nixon house. Here they met a colored woman, when Officer Strode said: "I want that clock that Robert Ellerby left here;'' upon which the woman, without the least hesitation, pointed out the spot where she said the clock was buried, and started to dig it up, but as she went to work as if with the intention of shattering it to fragments, so it could not be identified, using an axe for the purpose, .she was ordered to desist and Officer Strode unearthed it himself. The clock, which was buried about 18 inches beneath the surface of the ground, was sub sequently, fully identified as being the clock stolen from Mr. Smith at tbe time referred to. - i 4 Prince Kelley and his wife, Rebecca Kel ley, were arrested yesterday and lodged in jail, under a warrant issued by Justice Gardner, charged with being implicated in the various robberies now being developed and investigated. A number of documents have been cap tured by Officer Carr and his assistants which tend to show tbe extent and plans of the organisation for robbing and plunder ing the people of this city, of which Richard T. Nixon and Robert Ellerby were among the leading spirits. Among them are two or three letters written by Wellington Boyd, while in the Albany penitentiary, and ad dressed to Richard Nixon, in which he sta ted that he was "faring like a fighting cock f that he liked bis quarters in the peniten tiary "most delicious," went to preaching every Sunday, &c. In another letter, da ted February 18th, 1877, addressed to Nixon, Boyd takes him to task for not writing to him, and says; "It seems as you boys are not executing your business as you should; if you was it would interest you so you would not fail' in informing me of your services," &c. Boyd, it will be remembered, was sentenced to the penitentiary for rob bing the mail. The Early Closing; of Stores. In order to facilitate the scheme of clos ing the up town business houses at 7 o'clock, in accordance with the suggestion of the Board of Trade, it is hoped by those interested that ladies and others will make it convenient to do their shopping as early in the afternoon as possible. A little re creation is necessary during the heated term, and we hope the merchants will not be embarrassed in the matter of early clos ing, which is expected to become a general thing. Fast Running. The fast-mail train on the Wilmington & Weldon Railway made a right lively run from here to Goldsboro yesterday. It left Wilmington at 7:18 A M. (18 minutes be hind schedule time), stopped 19 minutes on the route, and reached Goldsboro at 10:01, exactly oa time. The actual running time was 2 hours and 25 minutes, or about 85 miles per hour. These facts are given us by a passenger who timed the train care fully, We think this speed will do pretty well; but, if necessary, we believe the W. & W. boys can do better still. WHOLE NO. 3,067 Criminal Co art. The June term of the Criminal Court for New Hanover county, Judge O. P. Meares, presiding, convened yesterday morning at 10 o'clock. The charge of His Honor did not differ materially from that delivered to the Grand Jury at tbe previous term. He called their attention particularly to the jcrime of per jury and violations of law in the case of retail liquor dealers. The following comprise the Grand Jury for this term: H. B. Willis, Foreman; Isham McClam my, W. H. M. Koch, Thomas J. Herring, JohuE. Sylvia, Frank Toomer, Alonzo Hewlett, Joseph Davis, J. F. Stalter, James W. Green, John J. Hewlett, Henry W. Bryant, Seth Walton, Stephen A. Craig, William McLaurin, James Elder, F. M. Beasley, James Jarman. Tbe only case of interest tried was that of Ida Evans, a small colored girl, aged about 12 or 13 years, who was charged with stealing ten dollars in money. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, but recom mended her to the mercy of the Court. Judgment was suspended on the payment of costs, which are understood to amount to a considerable sum, as she was before the Court at the last term. There were two submissions in cases of affrays, and judgment nisi was entered in twenty-six cases. County Commissioners. The Board met yesterday afternoon in regular session; present, J. G. Wagner, Esq., Chairman, and Commissioners I. B. Grainger, B. G. Worth, D. Nixon and D. Holmes. On motion it was ordered that the ma king up and computing the tax list be awarded to Messrs. Cronly & Morris for $750. The report of Commissioner Delaware Nixon, committee on Poor House, was re ceived and ordered on file. The Board then took a recess until this afternoon at 4 o'clock. A serious. Annoyance, Complaint is made that a parcel of boys, both white and colored, are in the habit of going in bathing in a pond of water near Third and beyond Marsteller street, known as Mt. Olive pond, in the extreme south ern section of the city. Thtey not only go in bathing there, but indulge frequently tn the habit of chasing each other outside of the pond, thus rendering themselves a great annoyance to people residing in that vicinity. It is hoped that the matter will receive the attention of the authorities. Oiling; the Fire Hose. In accordance with directions from the Chief of the fire department, the hose be longing to the different steam engines in the city, consisting of about five thousand feet, was yesterday put through a process of oiling by means of a force pump. A barrel of oil was used for the purpose, and it was forced into the hose with sufficient pressure to make it penetrate entirely through, thus making them pliant and much more substantial and better calculated to stand the pressure which they have at times to undergo. Bridging tne Railroad TracK. The city authorities are having a bridge constructed over the railroad track on Sixth street for the convenience of people resi ding north of the road. This is a very de sirable improvement, and will be a great accommodation. The bridge, work upon which has been going on for the past week, will be something like the main bridge over the track on Fourth street. Family Rxenraloi A grand family excursion on the steamer Waccamaw, under the auspices of Wilming ton Hook and Ladder Company No. 1, will take place on Thursday next. The boat will leave Market dock at 8 o'clock in the morning. The Italian string band will fur nish music for the occasion, and refresh ments will be supplied at city prices. Excursion on the Gov. Worth. The seventh annual family excursion of the Young Catholic Friends' Society will take place oh Tuesday next, the 12th inst., on the steamer Gov. Worth, to Smithville and Foit Caswell. These excursions have been very popular in the past, and this one, we are assured, will not prove an excep tion to the rule. Cnmallable Letters. The following are the unmailable letters remaining in the city postoffice: Edgar S. Warrock, M. D. Key, Mrs. M. R. Lawson, Mrs. Georgana Tate, J. T. Graham, James Tate, Mrs. Annie Mc Clammy, John C. Mott, Miss Matilda Lar kins, care W. H. French, Samuel Gibson. HI VEB AND MARINE ITEMS. The ZundsmU, Bernstrom, sailed from Liverpool for this port on the 21st inst The river between here and Fayette-ville-is very low just now, rendering it ex tremely difficult for the steamers to navi gate. We noticed on the river, yesterday af ternoon, a very handsome little schooner of about forty tons burthen, apparently newly launched, and upon inquiry was in formed that she was the Eunice Reynolds, and that she was built entirely by a family by the n ame of Reynolds, (the old gentle man and his sons), residing a short distance below Port Anderson, in Brunswick coun ty, at spare times when not engaged in their avocation of farming. She is a very neat little craft, of handsome model, and re flects much credit upon her builders, none of whom, we learn, have ever been em ployed in tbe business of ship building. She is intended, we understand, to run be tween this city and Little River. S. O. and was making her trial trip yesterday. RATES OF ABVERTISING. One Square one dm " ' two days.

Although years of experience in medicine had failed to accomplish a certain and sure remedy for this disease and its effects, such as Sour-Stomach, Heart barn, Water-brash, Sick Headache, Costivenese. Liver Complaint, Vet since the introduction of Green's August Flower we believe there Is no case of Dyspepsia that cannot be immediately re lieved. Two doses will relieve yon. Regular size 75 cents. DR. SCHrnjCK'rPULMONIC SYRUP, SEA WEED TONIC, and MANDRAKE PILLS. These medicines have undoubtedly performed more cures of Consumption than any other remedy known to the American public. They are compounded of ve getable ingredients, and contain nothing which can be injurious to the human constitution. Other re mediesadvertised as cures for Consumption, prob ably contain opium, which is a somewhat dangerous drug in all cases, and if taken freely by consump tive patients it must do great injury; for its tenden cy is to confine the morbid matter in the system , which, of course, must make a cure impossible. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted to contain not a particle of opium : it is composed of powerful but harmless herbs, which act on ;the lungs, liver, stomach and blood, and thus coirect all morbid se cretions, and expel all the diseased matter from the body. They are the only means by which Consump tion can be cureu.and as Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Puis are the only medicines which operate in this way,' it is obvious they are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary Con sumption. Each bottle of this invaluable medicine is accompanied by full directions. Dr. Schenck is professionally at his principal ofl&ce, corner Sixth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, every' Monday Where all letters for advice mast be addressed. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
