LONDON', July 18.—A correspondent telegraphs as follows: Alexandria, July 18.—Arabi Pasha is still issuing orders and making appointments in the Khedive's name Arabi's force on the canal is estimated at 10,000, including Bedoins who gave adhesion to Arabi four days ago. Wounded Arabs from Alexandria were sent to Cairo. The sight of plunder selling in the bazaars stimulated tho Coireans to imitate the Alexandrians. The last Englishman •who left Cairo and arrived at Saez describes the people as wild and threatening. lie thinks the European portion of the city will be burned. "Ulemas are preaching war for Arabi PaSlm. The latter said when the first shot of the bombardment was fired that all the principal waitors to his cause must be put away there were only about forty and ten winutes would suffice. The Loyal Ministers naturally feel anxious.

Another correspondent telegraphs: ALEXANDRIA, July IS.—Arabi Pasha threatens to cut the MahmoutficCanal, which supplies tho town with water. He now prevents provisions entering, BO that as numbers of Europeans are returning, there is likelihood of a famine. An unsuccessful attempt has been made to lire Cairo. An attempt to sem an Englishman's house there was frustrated by the loyal Governor.

ALKXANDUIA, July 17,—it is reported that Arabi Pasha is preparing to move. Disappointment and indignation are most keene at the great blunder of of allowing the favorable moment for «ndi»g the revolt at a stroke to slip by, while the troops are detained in inactivity by orders from home.

Baron Calice, tho Austrain Ambassador, is in favor of backing out of the Nile mud-bank, into which the European diplomatic craft lias buried its nose.

The Paris correspondent of the Times says the idea of a renewal of the close co-operation of trance with England lias now forced itself upon the French Government,'and the Cabinet and Council have adopted resolution to this cfi'ect, conditional on three things, viz: Turkey's reply to the indentical note of tho Powers ljivitipg the Porto to seud troops to Egypt the decision of the conference a«d the sanction of Parliament. Subject to these conditions, the two Governments are now entirely agreed in regard to the terms upon which their forces will undertake to restore order in Egypt.

Arabi'* Cainp.

A correspondent has opened com xnunication with the camp of Arabi Pasha, which, his informant says, consists of a little over 6,000 men, who -•ire intensely discontented, and sur^. rounded by "starving women and chil­

dren.

v'HfcCTuits-of-

the lowest class

are still being enlisted by Arabi with promises of unlimited plunder, and the force is held together by the assertion that the English will kill all returning to the city.

Prominent Cowards.

Arabi and Toulba Pashas have utterly lost their prestige by their gross cowardice during the bombardment. Artillerymen were kept at their guns on the lltli inst. by infantry posted under cover.

The Khedive states that 205^ Europeans have been killed at Kafir £1 Dwar.

Why the Continued Killing. LONDON', July 18.—The numerous executions at Alexandria excite some comment among tho Liberal party in press and Parliament.

Taffy for Nicholson.

LONDON, July 18.—A^ leading editorial article in the morning Post says: The beliaviorof the American Admiral and his men at Alexandria is beyond all praise. Amid diplomatic protests, European concerts and conferences, and naval demonstrations of imbecility, it is refreshing to find a commander who is able and willing, on his own account, to say what lie thinks and do what he says. Sixty marines, physically speaking, could not do much, but there is a way of giving support which quadruples its value. The conduct of the Americans during the night of alarm that Arabi Pasha was coming, contrasts remarkably with that of the French and Italians. The Extent of tho Devastation Greatly

Exaggerated.

ALEXANDRIA, July 18.—'The Herald special says: At this late day it is useless perhaps to attempt a description of the ruin caused during- and subsequent to the bombardment. In company with Captain Fisher and a strong force of blue-jackets I made a tour round and through the city. I am able to state from personal observation that the first reports of the extent of the devastation are greatly exaggerated. Moreover, although the destruction is greatest in the European quarter, it is by no means contincd tliere. The fires scattered throughout the city were caused partly by soldiers

Out of Pure Wantonness,

partly by natives,'who took this means of paying off old grudges. In the Grand Square and its vicinity the ruin is most complete. Not one house but has been leveled or gutted. The facades are still erect, but are bleached with the heat to a white ash. Yet in the centre the fountain is still playing, and the grass and trees are still green and uninjured. Long lines of streets are

Still Burning.

From time to time heavv crashes are heard as the walls fall. Heavy smoke is still enveloping the city. As we marched through the districts we found Bedouins and parties or Egyptian soldiers laden with booty, with whom we exchanged shots,.killing a few and scattering the rest. During the day crowds of Europeans of all nations came ashore from the ships. Many presented a pitiable spectacle as they sat down and gazed on

The Rnlns of their Former Homes. Others, like some of the Greeks, seemed to have come only for plunder and to,make troublo. Many returned Greeks were arrested in the act of plundering in the forenoon.

Port Said.

PORT SAID, July 18.—There is an immense number of refugees here. The Europeans are imperfectly armed with revolvers and sporting gups. They fear thev will be attacked by a large force of Bedouins, who, it is stated, are assembling in the desert. There are also 1,500 Arabs at Fort Guelini, six miles hence, throwing up earthworks. Three British, four French, two Italian, and .one Spanish men-of-war are in the harbor. The Governor is loyal to the Khedive, but the Egyptian Colonel, who commands 250 men here, is suspected.

PeUnto on the Egyptian Question. PARIS. July IS.—In the Chamber of Deputies, to-day, the debate began on the Egyptian questian.

DeFreycinet said he recognized the existence in Egypt of an aspiration which must be taken account of, and a nascent nationality, for which Europe must show solicitude. It was necessary to restore order, at tiie same time, see whether the institutions of the country ought not to be modified. De Frayciiiet said that lie considered that armed intervention, which a few weeks ago was not justified, had become im-

perative since the occurrences in Alexandria in which French subjects had been molested and massacred. This state of things, he declared, constituted for France 1 right to intervene. In view of the present state of affairs, however, .a prudent Government must endeavoi to act with Europe. The English alii ance, he said, had never been shaken, but France had wished. simultaneously to appeal to European concert.

England had taken the initiative having recourse to European concert. France at once acceded.

DeFreycinet continued: "Turkish troops will intervene under the authority of the Khedive, without entering into the national affairs of. Egypt. I Turkey refuses, we shall probably re ceive a mandate from Europe to intervene, but shall only accept on condition of it being well defined that the Sue Canal cannot cease to be free, even if France must be one of the Powers who will have to protect it. But even in regard to tli6 canal, France desires to submit the question to the Conference, while reserving libeity of action. An understanding in this sense was- concluded yesterday with England. The English alliance and the European cencert have been tho points kept in view throughout by France.!'

Gambetta spoke in approval of De Fraycinet's course in adhering to the alliance with England,but said he considered the credits demanded were insufficient. He censured the Cabinet for accepting Turkish intervention, and asked if it was possible to guarantee that the Turks would not enter into collusion with the Egyptians. ITe concluded by declaring that he and his friends would vote for the grant in order to rescue Egpyt from Musselman fanaticism.

The debate was then adjourned until to-morrow.

NOTES FROM THE NILE.

Ras El Tin Palace.

The Ras el Tin Palace lins been partially destVoyed by Are from the British squadron. If the Alexandrians thought anything of this whatever, they have been unfortvnate. One of Arabi Bey's first tasks was to set Egyptian and 'Turkish troops to place earth works and guns upon either side of tills cdiflce—tiie same which Dumas, the elder, contemptuously referred to as the miserable white building built by tiie Italians. These earthworks have tiie appearance of being not altogether despicable from a military point of view. Tiie ostentation which was displayed In mounting them with guns and fixing accommodations for Egyptian soldiers in their vir clnity lnvltftl atlacjf, Tiie Aloxandriaps themselros were accustpnied to sppak of the lias el Tin invincible, find long 1)0.fore the Br|t{sh attack took piacp thorp was not a mlsorablo dr»nkey?beater or yeller for backsheesh who (]id not lpo|c upon tho white outlines of the pasha's palace,, ns tney miiftciin-iiniju'iO' uii tnu oflecl.lon of tho gently-heaving waters of tiie harbor, and consider that it, at all events, was a building which was sacred from the attacks of tiie Uinour. Tho harem, a more lovely building still, which stood upon higher ground, and the pomegranate gardens of which looked down upon Alexandria harbor on one sido and tho sapphire blue Mediterranean on tlie otiier, was not more respected by tho populacc than tiie palace. There were women there', it was true—women gathered from tiie shores of tho Persian gulf, darkeyed beauties born in the sweet and cedartlad Georgian valleys, houris nurtured in the zenanas of Hindoostan, Ethiopian slaves seized frojn tljeir homes in the Soudan—but the caineUdriv or, the dragomen, the donkey boy nor any other-in

Alexandria, thought anything of the harem in Importance as compared with tiie palace of Has el Tin. That to them was a sacred building, beautiful and invinclble by the will of All. Few Egyptians would approach it, driving around the northern circle of the harbor, without pausing to salaam It and murmur with respect that truly it was the abode of the great prophet and therefore worthy of the most profound voneratlon. The palace is situated upon the northern bend of tho western harbor, and Its frontage dips right down into tiie tide. The stories which bavo been told of the bowstring and the mysterious cliques in the homes of Turkish voluptuaries on the Bospliorus are plentiful of this same palace on the water In Alexandria. Ancient residents, looking across from the'sandy shores on tho opposite side, have seen veiled boats pushed off Into the stream, a hoary sack thrown overboard, and the slaves returning In their craft to the White Palace, leaving behind them, enveloped In the silent, rolling and Inexorable waters, some tale of a sated Pasha's disgust, or the miserable mortal- remains of a poor human amour. It is built, or was, upon tho southern shore of the Island of Pharos and was surrounded by a series of forts, yviijch were supposed to render It Impregnable to attack from the mainland. The lire from the British IlQCt which destroyed it not only spoiled the clianees of Arab! Bey making successful defense from the forts which surround the Ras el Tin, but has ruined ccrtalifly the most costly building in Alexandria. Adjoining It were gigan tic stables filled with ljorscs of'ail breeds, from the dociie and diminutive Arab to the larger and less tractable English charger. In the tyullding itself there were a series of magnificent rooms, representative of the principal European cpuntries. fhe furnishings of the Paris, the RQman mid tho London rooms were especially remarkable for costliness and characteristic design.

Where the Blame for the Egyptian Trouble Bests.. Toronto Globe.

The present position is the creation of the government of Lord Baconsfield. From tho time of Mehcmet All Pasha onward, the suzerainty of the Sultan over Egypt had become a very vague and shadowy matter, carrying with It no effective control.' However, the Turkish Govern­

ment

had by no means lost the hope of recovering Its rights, and Sultan Ab-dul-Aziz Intended to do so, but was kept In good humor by Ismail Push, who spent good pnrt of the enormous loans which he raised In Europp In bribing tl)e Sultan and his court. When the deposition of Ismail was resolved on by the Western Powers the authority of the Sultan was Invoked to effect it, and this at once brought back Turkish claims to the realm of practical politics. Even the Conservative English Government which.was then In power did not much like such a recognition of the Sultan's sovereignty, but they thought It a less evil than the direct interference of an English and a French army, and therefore accepted it. The Sultan saw how much he had gulued, and

TERRE HAUTE, INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 19,1882.

W itched eagerly for the next opportunity of re-assertlng W»- rlgbla. He had also become possessed with the Idea that he might, recover that vast and undefined half-spiritual", half-tem-poral authority which the office of Khallf carries with it over the Mohammedan world, and fancied that through the use of his Khallfal pretensions he might recover in a new direction more than all the prestige which his defeat by Russia had taken from him. The. conquest, for so'one may call it, of^Tunis by France hat lately embittered him against the Western Powers, and made him all the more anxious to tighten his grasp on other Mohammedan lands.

Meanwhile the financial protectorate of England and France, acting Jointly, was going on. Many Englishmen, especially Liberals, regretted its establishment. As it was due to the action of France, and as the action of France was taken in the interest of the holders of Egyptian bondsjtt seemed to them tainted in its source. What are these French speculators to us, they said, that we should, for their sake, Involve oursolves In responsibilities In a Mohammedan country, make ourselves parties to a system which squeezes taxes by cruelty out of a wretched peasantry and enter a partnership with France which Is almost sure to end in a quarrel? Far bet ter to have annexed Egypt at once, which Lord Beaconsllcld might liavo done In 1870, when France was in no condition to resist.' Wo shonld then have become masters of the situation might have feov orned Egypt so as to make It pay its way (tnd yet have improved the condition of tiie peasantry might have had the Suez Cnna] all to ourselves instead of being ineroiy the holders of some shares in it. It is indeed a littlo odd that Lord Beaconsfield, who was fond of bold schemes, did not try tills one but probably be feared the vehement opposition which would have proceeded from Mr. Gladstone, and was held back by Lord Derby and other timid or cautious members of his own Cabinet. Anyhow, he was content, conceiving It. absolutely necessary not to let Franco 4fct alone the mastery, of Egypt, to act in company with her, and thus ho left matters when he resigned office in 18S0. The Government of Mr. Gladstone accepted and maintained the status quo. They could not retire from Egypt, because to do. so would bo tp leave France ablp to work her own Will, and would seem to throw tho Canal, our route to India, through which a ya'st trade now passes, at France's mercy, Thorefore they kept things going, and hoped for the best, endeavoring to maintain a friendly concert with the variousFrench Governments, which unfortunately change so fast as to Increase the difficulties of a steady and consistent dlplomacy.Last September the reyoltof thcColonies seemed for a time to threaten a complete break up of the system, and ever1 sinco It lias been clear that our position was extremely precarious. Those "wli'o know Egypt have been warning us to prepare for a catastrophe but unluckily they have not had many useful suggestions to give as to the course we must pursue, and, even now, when the storm lias broken, it. is wonderful how little prepared public opinion is to arrive at definite practical conclusions.

Campbell Barinerman, Financial Secretary to tha War Office, said the Government entirely approved of the conduct of Admiral Seymour.

Drummond Wolff moved an adjournment of the House, and dwelt on the misleading character of the Government, replies: He believed Admiral Seymour did not land the marines on June 11th, the date of the massacre, because ordered not to, and the Government remained inactive in orderlo allow Arabi Pasha to gather strength.

Gladstone said he took the full re' sponsibility of Admiral Seymour's action. The instructions to the land force at Alexandria were conditional, and it did not appear to him necessary to do so.

Northcote thought the question of Drummond Wolff relative to Admiral Seymour's authority to land troops a very natural one, in view of the grave events at Alexandria.

Gladstone said no instructions had been given Admiral Seymour beartng on the point raised, subsequent to Mav loth.

Dr. Roberts, an old and one of the ma&t popular citizens in. this county, was killed at Millville, ten miles from here, by Dr. Keys, a young physician, wh$ was jealous of Roberts' extensive practice. Keys approached his victim one'day and askecl"him why lie had beat talking against hia wife. The physician denied tho charge, whereupon Keys drew a revolver and- killed RoBerts almost instantly. The murderer was arrested, and on the first trial the jury failed'to agree. On the secdnd trial a plea of insanity was sustained. lie was sent to the Insane Asylum No. 2, near St. Joseph.

.'j Combat, in Georgia. ATLANTA, Ga., July 18.—Intelligence has been received here of a bad riot between the colored laborers on the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia Railway, between Dana and Rockmart, near'Cartersville, and some whites in the vicinity. Several weeks since a white man named Hicks, a desperado, shot at several negro railroad nandsforslightcause. On Friday last a party of whites went to a store in the neighborhood with peaches to sell to the negroes, and while trading a negro boy was charged with stealing some fruit. One of the whites aimed a gun at him, but did not fire but after leaving the store one of the fruit peddlers turned and fired into a group of negro workmen, who returned the fire and pursued the whites, about fifty shots being exchanged, but no one hurt. Saturday afternoon Ilicks quarreled, with a number of the negro hands who were gathered at the store, disarming four or five, and was in the act of disarming a sixth when the.negro resisting, was instantly shot and killed. This tragedy wrought up the negroes to the highest excitement, and formin^amob thev attacked Hicks with great ferocitv. He ran for his life, but beforei he had got tiftv yards away was literallv riddled with bullets, dying instantly. More whites appeared upon the ground and four negroes were badlv wounded, but the whites soon fled before the superior numbers, and the negroes patroled the counties of Paulding and Polk *all of Saturday night and yesterday, the Sheriffs of those counties, with a posse each, being unable to take {hem.

The latest news from the rioters is that two more negroes were shot and the mob has dispersed, many surrendering to the authorities. All the new negroes have left the service of the road. Intense excitement prevails, and many think that the battle is not over.

IiOve's Young- Dream Blasted. ST.

A* few months ago Ostrom bepame wildly infatuated with a member of the "demimonde. His salary as clerk was not sufficient for his DelHah's luxuries, and lie forged several checks, signing his father's name. Then he fled to the wicked city of Chicago on the 3d. of July, with chum of unenviable character called Roper. Their funds ran out, when Ostrom's father ascertained his son's whereabouts. He went to Chicago, found the prodigal there yesterday, and to-dav brought him hack to St. Louis. He left this evening with the erring vouth for Farmen, Wisconsin. Ostrom's flight to Chicago was induced by the fact that Ins father discovered he was on the point of marrying the courtesan through the discovery of a package of her letters. They are said to De of the warmest description, and voluminous enough to fill .a bandbox. The fallen angel is'quite a scholar, and her erratic effusions are said bv those who have seen the letters to be warm and imaginative enough for a modern Sap­

Such a wealth, of affection naturally called for a return. Her picture he carried next to his heart, and his letters were but a pale reply of her own.

Killed by a Runaway. CAIRO, 111., July 18.—At Jonesboro this morning at o'clock a team of horses attached to a wagon, while in front of the brewery became frightened and ran frantically down the street in the direction of" Anna. A horee ridden by Anderson Jones, of Anna, was struck by the runaway, the pole of the wagon penetrating the body of the horse just back of the shoulders, killing it instantly. The shock was so great that Jones was pitched violently headforemost onto the hard macadamized road, fracturing his skull and leaving him in a dying condition. He was at once taken to his home in Anna, but little hope is entertained for his recovery. Jones is the man who some time since stabbed his own son in a saloon at Jonesboro.

The Garflelil Dwelling.

WASIIINCITOKJ July IS.—The Star says: The Ohio Republican Association, last evening, appointed Wm. Lawrence, M.J. l'oote, F. C. Campbell, E. C. Ward and C. A. Boynton a committee to consider the advisability of purchasing from the Garfield estate the residence of the late President, on Thirteenth and I streets, to be used as State headquarters, and report a plan for the consummation of such purchase. Prof. H. C. Spencer said tnat when he was in Cleveland a few days ago Mrs. Garlield had expressed a desire to sell this property,but felt disinclined to sell it to a stranger, and suggested that it was possible that Ohio citizens in Washington might feel inclined to purchase and convert it into a State headquarters. Her late husband valued the dwelling and lot at $18,000, but she thought $15,000 would now be a fair valuation, and in the event of such sale bein^ effected, she would place the library the east wing of the house in exactly the same condition as it was when occupied by Gen. Garfield as his study, while he was a Representative in Congress.

Brave Briton, was accomplished." "What was it?" "The night was bright and starlight when the Price, under full head of steam, with her tow lashed alongside, came within range of the batteries. The gunboats had dropped down, in the meantime, and opened fire in the hope of drawing attention away from the tow, but it was to no purpose. The wooden vessels presented such a tempting mark that every gun was turned at them. Fortunately they were so close in running the bend that the shells, with few exceptions, went over or merely passed tlirough the upper works. There was many a close call, however, as our boilers were entirely exposed, but each minute we .were leaving danger,behind, and thochanees were improving in favor of our getting safelv to our anchorage below. I was an officer of the Price, and was standing with the captain on the hurricane deck. Our attention. was suddenly called to immense columns of water in line between the batteries and ourselves, showing conclusively that an enemy's shell was ricocheting directly for us*. AVc had hardly time to confirm our opinion before there was a :p crash.-. The shell had struck us and I was immediately.sent to. ascertain the damage. On my way to the lower deck I encountered the crew rushing aft in the wildest consternation. Learning that the shell had struck forward I pushed my way in that direction, when, on reaching the boiler rooms, I found a third assistant engineer standing before the fire doors, with a deck bucket in his hand. lie was 'coolly deluging with water an -eight-inch shell which had just come aboard, passing through the side and a hoavy hog-beam in its way.. The missile had landed beneath the grate bars of. the furnace, among the red hot cinders. While the strokers and firemen on duty had left their post? in abject fear, he alone had remained to rake it out, and through his presence of mind and heroism saved the ship and the lives of all on board." "A close call, surely," said the reporter. "Yes. Upon further investigation it was found that this shell had first struck the steamer, lashed to our port side, had passed through the bodies of four horses before coming aboard of us and landing under our boilers. Had it remained another moment among the burning coals an explosion would have occurred which would have sacrificed every life on board. The next day the bushing was removed from the shell, and the. fuse, which was a ten-secoMd one, was found to have burned to within an inch of its limit. It was sent to Washington, and was for many years on exhibition at the Navy Department." "Wiio is the hero?" "In the excitement of war bravery was the rule, not "the exception, and it is extremely doubtful if this truly heroic deed was received at the time with more than passing notice or whether the brave man's name was ever heralded beyond those who were personally cognizant of it.

Post-Dlspntcli. An Associated Press cablegram from the seat of war contained the following intelligence: "A guhner on board the Alexandra performed a gallant deed. A lighted shell fell upon'the main deck. The gunner picked it up and immersed the burning fuse in a bucket of water. This is described as a wonderful piece of. devotion, more gallant than anything of the sort ever before clironided."

A Post-Dispatch reporter met Mr. J. W. McClellan, the broker, and-while talking of the above, that gentleman said: "The statement is incorrect in one particular. While the act certainly shows great heroism in the gallant gunner, yet it is not more gallant than anything of the kind ever before chronicled." 'Do you recall a similar instance of daring?"

I do, just as daring and as gallant. In 1803, after the passage of the Union fleet under Admiral Porter by the Vicksburg batteries, it was decided by Geueriil Grant to cross his army, then on.'the west bank of the Mississippi, to the east bank at Grand Gulf at the mouth of the Big Black river, from which the General was to have begun aggressive movements. In order to learn the strength of the Confederate batteries at this point a reconnoisance was ma«le on board the steamer Gen. Price, a gunboat captured by the Union forces at the fall of Vicksburg. Gen. Grant was present, and having drawn the fire of the battery, it was thought by both Admiral Porter and Gen. Grant that the capture of the place would be a matter of a very short time. The next morning the ironclads went into action.

The undertaking was one of no little danger.- Fears were entertained at the time all three vesvessels would -be sunk.

GENTLEMEN: Your several letters have been received and lhe executive committee of the Republican State committee have given their full con sideration. We are also in receipt of an accompanying letter from our candidates, which we forward as part of the general proceedings. All communications which yon have sent differ in their conclusions and cannot be reconciled to each other. The differences between your candidates are so wide that they practically bar any attempt at negotiations on the basis proposed by them. Our action in submitting four piopositions, which embodied all of the methods and principles ever asked by those whom you are called to represent, exhausts the powers entrusted to us by the convention of June 21, which authorized the Republican State Committee to adopt all honorable means to harmonize the Republican party so as to secure success in November.'

Carlyle's Eeligion. s-

Blackwood's Magazine. lie was a Calvinist without the theology. He had been bred in a Calvinistic home, and was by nature firmly and ardently religious. His conviction was intense as to the broad fact of the divine government of the universe, and as to the divine origin of moral law—the right reading of which was essential to human welfare, the revelation of which lay through experienced fact—and generally as f* lhe spiritual truth of religion. He flung away the whole of miracle and the supernatural it is as certain as mathematics, he said, that no such thing ever has been or cart be. The natural was far more truly wonderful than tho supernatural, "and all historical religions were bona fide human efforts to explain ljuman duty. On the other hand, ho rejected skepticism as to right and wrong,"and as to man's responsibility to his Maker. He rejected also the materialistic theory of things—that intellect is a phenomenon of matter, that conscience is the growth of social convenience he would have nothing to say to utilitarian cthics. It is unnecessary to pursue this into further detail. It is the Christian religion minus its theology, miracles, and escliatologv. Carlyie said that the fragments contained his real conviction, which lay at the bottom of all his thoughts "about man and man's doings in the world—a truth which he was specially sent to insist upon.
