Tho Times, of this morning, says there could hardly havo been a more critical situation than existed in Berlin upon the arrival of the t Emperor of Russin. Tho Germrm Government may be. able to de? clare a hostile Government was never of? ficially entertained, but a few days since thore was serious danger that warlike counsels would provoil. fJV*e may sup? pose Princo Gortschakoff courteously ex? pressed a determination to treat as an enemy tho first Stato disturbing peace. In spite of England's attitude of reserve, we believe the Government thought it a national duty in tho reoont crisis, to ex? press its opinion very decisively in re? gard to the maintenance of peace. Tho communication was amicable and a most .satisfactory reply returned. Franco has expressed the acknowledgment of Eng? land's friendly attitude. The Da'dy Jfeics reports the Czar has mentioned his de? sire to confer with M. Thiers unofficially in relation to European affairs. The Daily Telegraph is informed that Russia has given England friendly and satisfac? tory assurances in regard to Central Asia.

The prinoiplo of hereditary succession is dead. A third empire, aiming at tho restoration of Princo Napoleon or his nephew, would end in ruin. The article concludes: "We never doubted that France, even if consulted through a plebiscite, would energetically pronounce in favor of the republic, which is the form of Government most compatible with universal suffrage."

The agents of the Inman line steamers received a despatch from the captain of the steamship City of Brussels, confirm? ing the report that that vessel was ashore. The captain reports she went ashore near Carnsore Point, Ireland, at 5.15 o'clock, this morning. A dense fog prevailed at the time.

Davis was a Republican mem? ber of the Legislature in 1H72; took his seat at the Court House which elected Spencor to tho Senate, and voted for him for Senator; soon afterwards he was ap? pointed postmaster. Tyrone, Pa., May 14.?Fifty men went to work at Stirling mines, this morning. About 11 o'clock, a fight took place be? tween the few police and the strikers, and two of the latter were arrested. There is no police force sufficient to pro? test the willing workmch, and the Sheriff is dilatory. L. G. Cotttri, editor of JAVda, who, on Monday, was captured by tho strikers, is at Tyrone, with forty Italians, determined to put them at work I with proper protection. Affairs in Clear i field County are in a bad state, and j nothing short of a military force will suppress the outrages. This is the opi? nion of the most intelliget persons of tue community.

Tho cases of the Richmond and Danville Railroad Company, and the Bank of Commerce iw. the County* of Pickons, were conti? nued.

The judg? ments in all the cases draw int-.-rest from the 1st of January, 1874. Postal Telegraph.--Tho scheme of a postal telegraph in this country has almost disappeared from public notice, but the United States Economist says a powerful moneyed interest is in favor of it, and will be heard from so soon as the shares of existing telegraph companies are run up to prices sufficiently high to realize fortunes by a Government pur? chase. With this warning it becomes a matter worthy of note that, according to the budget recently presented in tho English House of Commons, the Govern? ment postal telegraph in that country has by no means proved to be the suc? cess that was anticipated. The Chancel lar of the Exchequer, Sir Stafford North cote, said tho expenses last year were $500,000 more than the net earnings, while the payments npon the annual interest of tho purchase money, $1,725, 000 a year, have been virtually suspend? ed. Ihis shows a deficiency of abont $2,250,000, which must be made good from other sources. It also appears that there is very little prospect of any imme? diate financial improvement. A. T. Stewart is famous fur his dinner parties, which are usually given on Sun? day. He has one of tho finest wine vaults in Now York, and brands of brandy, port and sherry that no one else in the coun? try can boast of. His table service is magnificent. One silver dinner set, lined with gold, was made in London two years ago at a coBt of $47,500. It consists of over 200 pieces. Then he has a famous Dresdon china Bet of 200 or 300 pieces, in whioh no less than seventy different colors are introduced. The china is transparent, and on holding it to tho*light, the monogram, "A. T. S." can be seen like water-mark in note paper. Mr. Stewart is a very entertaining host, and ho likes the character amazingly. He has.the best trained' servants in the city, and his dinners puss off in the me? thodical and systematic manner of olock I work. -His wife and niece (Mrs. Butler) I usually assist him in dispensing-the hos I pitalities of the "white marble palace. " Dr. C. R. Thompson, of Fort Motto, died on the 30th ultimo, of pneumonia. Judgo Xolley has oommitted the un- j Safdonable offence against tho Grant and ameron Republican loaders of telling the truth about the South, and they arc snarling nnd snapping at his beds like mud. True, he but tells what every re? putable Republican Congressman has testified for nearly two years, but never? theless he is jeered and hunted clear out of the party lines by the organs which worship at the altar of post offices und official advertisements. If all men who think just as Judge Kclley thinks on the Southern question are to,be driven out of the Republican ranks, the mass of Re? publican voters would bo outside, nnd the party left to consist of a few hired organs, without circulation or influence, und a few post office holders without character or leadership. [PA;'<?.'? l(>hlii Times. The Little Kock tArk.1 Oatrite gives the details of a terrible tragedy in Sevier County, m ar Nebo Church, on the loth. A farmer was visiting a neighbor, and having presentiment of evil, in company with a Texan returned to his house, where .. ho observed a light burning. Peering; in the window the two men saw four robbera counting the money which they had stolen. Roth men being armed with double-barrelied shot guns,- fixed upon and killed all the robbers, and then entering the house the farmer was crazed I by the sight of his murdered wife and two children. Tbk Death or W. M. Connors, Esq. We are much pained to announce the death of our fellow-townsman. W. M. Connors, Esq., on the night of the, 10th instant. Until about the hour of 12 o'clock of that dav, Mr. Connors ap? peared to bo in tbo enjoyment of his usual health, and was stricken down by paralysis, in bis law office, while actively engaged in the performance of the duties of the profession of which ho has been an ornament in our midst for many years. ?Jiiinca.iter J^dger. Some more witnesses were called in Brooklyn, yesterday, to contradict what another lot had previously sworn to. We shall have to work out this problem finally by cancellation, putting all the statements of tho prosecution on one side und all the statements of the de? fence on the other, and striking out thoso that disagree. What remains ought to give us the answer, only we are not sure that there would then be anything left. Nathaniel Eabm, of Sutton N. H., cele? brated his 100th birth-day on Tuesday and died on the Monday following, "of pneumonia brought on by the excite? ment of the birth-day celebration," the telegrams to the papers say. This iB cer? tainly a curious cause for pneumonia. But this' death is really o feather in Sir George Lewis' cap. The old man hud just reached his full period and then fell off like a ripe apple. Disastrous Fire. ?The gin and mill house, together with engine and fixtures, of Col. James MoCutchen, of Indian Town, S. C, was totally destroyed by tire on the 10th. The house took fire from sparks from the engine while in operation; loss $2,000, on which there was no insurance. This is the second fire in that place in 1 jss than a week?the other being the tine dwelling of Mr. F. N. Wilson. Tho great weather seer of St. Louis, Prof, lice, has given his opinion about the recent cold snap. Ho affirms that "the frigoriiie wind*' of a week ago was not a polar wave, but a "discharge from an immense atmospheric cylinder, with a barrel or 000 miles iu diameter, down which flows an ccriul maelstrom from the surface of the atmosphere." This ho is willing to swear to. A correspondent of the Hingst reo Star writes to that paper that (Sen. Marion is buried on Belle Isle plantation, St. Ste? phen's Parish, Charleston County, on the mnin road leading up from Murray's Ferry, on Santee River, to the San tee Canal, one mile from the canal. A brick wall, with a niable slab, marks the hero's grave. The Cluirmont, N. Y., Episcopal Church objects to its pastor, Mr. Batten, because he is too old and too plebeian. He has been seen to carry homo his mar? keting in a basket, and one day he went so far as to carry a broom homo under his arms. A petition for his removal has been sent to Bishop Odenheimer. The Town Council of Spartnnbnrg are taking steps toward establishing water works. There is a very bold spring about two and a half miles above the town that would supply sufficient of the purest water tor all purposes for years to come, and it could bo conducted to the highest points at very trilling expense. John P. King has been re-elected Pre? sident of the Georgia Railroad. The convention of stockholders have ad? journed, after two days' session. Gen. MoEae, Superintendent of tho State Road, has been elected Superintendent of tho Georgia Road. The Cincinnati (iazr-ttc (.Rep.*) thinks Vico-Presidcnt Wilson has not done or promised half as much for tho South us President Lincoln in his first message and in his ante-war conversation with South? ern leaders. Only suppose all tho passengers on tho Schiller had been comfortably clothed in Paul Boyton's improved marine clothing. They would have qnietly walked over to St. Marie or Penzanco with their bag? gage. Hoy ton doubtless thinks so. Somebody in Baltimore claims to have seen a phantom dog ono night recently. This is encouragemg to ns, and all others who have longo wished to sec phantom dogs supercede every other sort. The Pniladelphia Times isn't satisfied with tho weather yet, und suggests to the President that he is losing thousands of votes every day by reason of the retention of General Myer at tho head of the Wea? ther Bureau. A Mississippi man puts it thus: "At tho earnest solicitation of those to whom I owe money I have consented to become a candidate for County Treasurer." The St Louis (Hob* thinks that Nor? way, whete the days are three months long, is the best place to start n daily paper. ' Mrs. J^ R. Brockington, of Williams burg, died, last Sunday, after a very short illness. Sho had been married bat a few months. Tho telegraph lino to Glenn Spring is nearly completed. Tho Navy Department 1b about to. make experiments with carbonic acid* gas, as a motive powor ' for war vessels. The mnnev had Detter be spent strength? ening the bulwnrks and bottoms of some of our weak old hulks. The St. Louis ?lohe thinks the only way to bring out a full vote in that city is to have a game of base ball on election day and locatn the voting places at the gates of the base ball park. Toe's proposed monument is to be surmounted by a marble raven. Nothing could have been more appropriate, as his was poetry "raven" mad.
