There was a long and bar. monious sosaion. A general plar was agreed upon, but the details will be perfectod at anothor meeting. Every offort will be made to secure a thorough and satisfaotory organi zation. SHERMAN AND STANLEY A1ATTHEWS and the other "visiting statesmen" are making asses of themselves in regard to the Returning Board prosecutions. They have put them - selves on record as vilifying the. people of Louisiana, and denouncing the proceedings of a high court in that State. The New York Herald very judiciously suggests that the less these statesmen have to say in the matter the better for them, as many people hold them responsible for the acts of the Board. It show., moreover, that while Sherman thinks Wells as puro a man as himself or any one else, General Sheridan, in 1867, and Vice-President Wheeler and the other Republicans, who visital L:uisiana in, 1874, charged Wells and his confederates with the most outrageous frauds in that election, and even seated a number of Democratic legislators who had been counted out. Matters in Europe. The European news is rather squally. England has sent a fleet of ironclads into the Dardanelles in contravention of the articles of treaty, and despite the protests of the Sultan, the ploa being that British subjects in Constantinople inust be protected. Russia, in con sequence, may see fit to enter Con. stantinoplo, and then the biggest sort of fight may be expected. Aus tria will side, with England. Germa ny has not signified what course she will pursue. The difficulty with England is that she is too slow. An alliance with Turkey a year ago would haive dIefeatodl Russia. Now Turkey can do nothing, und more.. over she is rep~resented as being incensed with England for deceiving her with apparent offices of friend. ship. The cardinals have not yet met in conclave to elect a Pope. The comning pontiff is not known. Su perstitious Catholics think it will b)0 Cardinal Panebianco (whose name translated is White Bread), because Pius 1X. once dreamed he was suf fering from hunger and some one gave him wvhife bread to eat ; and because in an old p~rophecy it was foretold that the motto of the coming Pop)e will be "Lumen in CYallo," (Light in .leaven), whereas the moon, when full, resembles a cake of white bread in the ~*heaven. Politicians say the coming pontiff will be a prelate of liberal ideas--one in accord .with the liberal sentiments now ruling the world. THEL STATE LEGISLATURE.q FRamAY, February 15, 1878. SENATE.

There i; a curouts story about some native wines which are extensively ad vertised nowa days, and have only recentlv been put upon the market. Dr. Underhill, the well-known grape-grower of Croton Point, died in 1871. Some of his heirs entertained temperance views of such extreme kind, that they were unwilling to allow the stock of winies then on hand to be sold or any more to be made. Thq grapes have sometimes been sent to market, and sometimes left to decay upon the vines. It is only now that the other heirs have stiucceted in arranging for a settlement of the estate and the sale of the wines on hand. Amiong these is a wine of the vintage of 1864, described as a " Sweet Union Port,' but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more than any other European wine, and being wholly unlike any other wine of American growth. Iti purity, age and mellowness are remarkal e, and both physicints and wine fanciers have a special interest in it as the oldesz native wine iow accessible in nny con sidet-rab qtantity. The whole stock is In the handi.s of the well-known wholesale grocery house of the TIurbers.-N 1'. Tibune, Nov. 19, z67. The above speaks for itself, but we would add that this is the pum juice of tile grape. neither druced, liquored nor uvacred; that it has been ripened and mellowed by age, and for medicinal or sacranient-al purposes it is unsurpassed. It can lie obtaincd from most of the leading Druggists throughout the United States, and at wholesale from the undersigned, who will forward descriptive pamphlet, free of charg, on application.
