raised by the treaty shall be 'submitted to
the Congress; Germany haa been requested
to issue invitations to the Powers.
The Times is hopeful, and . says that the
preliminary ireqajnunents. of EDgland have
been conceded. .News from Berlin is
that the inTitations have been sent !
The settlement is due to' the good' offices
of Count Schouvaioflf and : the . German
Crown -prince. - German Socialist
Coogress will not be held; the Government
will enforce vigorously laws against sedi
tion, &c. The German Government
will prosecute five Socialistic, journals for
publishing ' improper articles concerning
the attempt to assassinate the Emperor.

The complaint of Rev. Dr. E. T.
Baird against the Synod of Virginia
was not sustained by the General As
sembly. 'It will be remembered that
Dr.. Baird was suspended on account
of being a defanlter in the manage
ment of a Church fund. :
The peace outlook is most flatter
ing, -j England declined theMiret pro
position made by Russia, whereupon
the latter agreed to refer all ques
tions raised by the treaty to the sanc
tion of the Powers. ' A clear- back
down, but good news for the world.
Already Germany has sent invita
tions to the Powers to meet in Con
gress The good work is attributa
ble to the kind offices of Count Schou
valoffand the German Crown Prince,
who married Victoria's eldest daqgti
ter. Peace is much better than war,
and we trust out of the nettle dan
ger will come the flower safety, and
that it will be a perennial. .
Mrs. Vosburgh was overhauled in
New York, and taken back to Jersey

he not' only beat and choked her
daughter, but that her daughter con
fessed to her that . she had detected
her husband in the act of endeavoring
to poison her. Still the wife denies

POUTICAT SPECULATIONS. !
. From the members of the Cabinet
; down to the disappointed applicants
for official crumbs, everybody to-day
seemed to be indulging in political
speculations. Mr. Evarts says he has
f ally examined into the Florida, mat
ter, and that the Potter, committee
will make a water-hauL : The inves
tigation, he adds,' has its origin in
some dark corner of New York, and
not with the majority of the Demo
cratic members of Congress. His
information from the; South is that
the Republicans will gain ' Congress
men at " the coming election, and in
cases where Republicans are not elect- j
ed Democrats of a stnpe more ac
ceptable to the administration than
those now in Congress will be sent.
He is sure that the Hayes leaven is
working in the South, and anticipates
good fruits in due lime. Republicans
'' at the Capitol said to-day that Judge
Alfred Morton has gone to Florida to
'bring to the front McLin, whem they"
say resides? in the ' everglades, many;
. miles away ffom the railroads. They
declare, too, : that Dennis nas gone!
back on Messrs. Finley, Springer and
. Co., jind will not testify, when tlier:
time comes what he promised. . '
- J ' WHAT THE DEMOCRATS SAT. f
' 7 The Democrats, on the other band,
. keep cool, and seem determined to
, conduet tbe j" investigation, in - their
own way." They say that evidence
will be i forthcoming ' proving the'
grossest, frauds in .Florida and Looi
?iana,'andf that Mr. Sherman is now
playing only, a strong game of bluff.
Their belief is that the passage of
the resolution; united the Democratic
party, and that the official publication
. of the Florida ; and Louisiana frauds
will complete the overthrow of the
Republican party. . ,

Early Closing. ';
The uptown clerks in our retail business
houses are discussing the question of ' the
closing of the stores, from : June 1st to the
usual time in the fall; at7T o'clocfc f-They
argue that employers and employes .alike
need a little recreation during the summer
season, and that if all the houses agree to
the proposal no detriment . to business will
be suffered .Mt has been usual, we believe,
to close at that hour from the 1st of June
to the 15th of September. ('. '
