FOREIGN INTELLIGENCK.

According to a Cettinge dispatch of the 9th a Turkish column was recently repulsed by the Montenegrins. The Turks had 800 men killed, and upward of 1,000 were driven over a huge precipice and drowned in the river flowing at.its base. The news of the capture in Bpain of Wm. M. Tweed and his Secretary was confirmed by Vigo (Spain) dispatches of tee 10th. He had been removed to Corunna, and would be sent to Havana on the 21st The Spanish Government had consented as a matter of international comity to surrender him to the United States.

ACoinurrnonj telegram of the 9th says the Porte had refused to suspend hosflities save on its own conditions, which innde the dismantling of two fortresses, the limitation of the Servian army to 90,000, and the re-investiture of Prince SUUn u g liuh■hvassaL Lars advices from Peru report a destructive fire at Curacos, causing the destruction of property valued at 900,000 soles.

turbauoes existed In the United States of Colombia, and the entire country had been declared In n state of siege. The disruption of the country was feared.

The attempt had so far proved unsuccessful. A London telegram of the same date says Russis had refused to allow Servia to accept the terms of peace recently offered by the Porto. It was said that there were 3,000 Russians of ail grades in the Servian army, and enlistments were openly made all over the Empire. A Belgrade telegram of the 18th says the Servian bulletin announced that the fighting nt Alexlnatz and Dellgrad the day before had terminated in favor of the Servians.

Troops had been called out and the mob attacked, resulting in one killed and fourteen wounded. There was a severe earthquake shock at Messina, Italy, on the 13th. The telegram does not state ths damage.

The Northfield Bank Bobbery.

The St. Paul (Minn.) Pioneer Pres* and Tribune of the 9th contains an account of the recent attempted bank robbery at Northfleld, ns given by Mr. Wilcox, one of the clerks in the bank. Mr. Wilcox says: Mr. Heywood occupied tbe cashier’s seat at the desk which you see at the end of the counter. Mr. Bunker and myself occupied seats at the desk, Mr. Bunker being nearest the opening at the comer. The first thing we knew three men were upon or over the counter, with revolvers presented at our heads, one of them exclaiming: “ Throw up your handß, for we intend to rob the bank, and if you halloo we will blow your brains out,” and w« could not do otherwise than comply. They then asked which was the cashier, to which Mr. Heywood replied: “He is not in.”' They then sprang over the counter, and demanded the safe to be opened. Addressing each in turn, they said: “You are the cashier,” which each denied. Seeing Heywood seated at the cashier’s desk, one of the ruffians went up to him with his long narrow-bar-reled pistol, and said, with an oath: “You are the cashier; now open the safe.” Mr. Heywood said: “It is a time-lock, and cannot be opened now.” One of the men then went into the vault, the door being open, also the outer door of the safe. Heywood at once sprang forward and closed the door of the vault, shutting the robber in, when another" of the men seized Heywood by the collar and dragged him away from the door, and released the incarcerated robber.

The man who came out of the vault—a slim, dark-complexioned man, with a black mustache, then called to the other to seize the silver which was lying loose S about sls) and put it in the sack. They lid not do this, but seized about twelve dollars in scrip and put it into a twobushel flour sack which they had with them. The dark-complexioned man, who appeared to be the leader, then again attacked Heywood, insisting upon his opening the safe, threatening to cut his throat if he did not, and actually drawing a big knife across his throat. The heroic and faithful teller, however, was not to be deterred from his duty, and would rather sacrifice his life than betray his trust. Some few moments —it seemed ages to the bewildered and terror-stricken lookere-on —were spent in Heywood’s struggling to break from the murderous villain and gain his liberty. At length he broke away, and, regaining his feet, ran toward the door, crying “ murder!” The man at once struck him with a pistoi and knocked him down, and dragging him to the safe door commanded him to open it. But the intrepid clerk stolidly refused, when the villian shot at him but did not hit him. Evidently the shot was intended to intimidate rather than injure, but the scoundrel had reckoned without his host, for the effect was lost upon Heywood. But upon discharge of the pistol Bunker made a start for the back door and ran for dear life, one of the robbers pursuing and firing, the shot taking effect in the shoulder. Bunker, how ever, reached the street (Water street) and ran to Dr. Coombs’ office. Driring the whole of this time four or five men were riding up and down the street, shooting in every direction and keeping up an incessant fusilade. One of the men outside came riding up furiously and called for the men to leave the bank. “ The game is up,” he said, “and we are beaten.” Almost immediately they took the alarm, and somehow jumped over the cowiter, making their exit. The small man was last to go. He mounted a desk at the front, and, as he turned to go, fired and shot at Heywood, which Ido not think is the one that took effect Heywood dodged behind his desk, or sank into his chair (Heywood’s desk stands at right angles to the bank desk, and he sat' sideways to the opening at the front, with his back next to the wall), and as the robber made over the desk railing he turned, and, placing his revolver to Heywood’s head, fired, shooting him dead. He staggered forward and fell behind the counter. The robbers made out of the door. Ido not remember much more that followed. , Wilcox was not sure whether the ruffian struck Heywood when the latter staggered to the cashier’s chair, and he did not stop to see if he was dead when he fell. He said the reason he did not try to get out or help Heywood was that one of the men stood over him with a pistol in his hand.

Tweed’s Capture.

Madrid. Sept. 10. It was found in July last that Tweed was in Santiago de Cuba, having passed there from Havana. Gen. Jovellar was applied to by the American Consul to have Tweed secured and sent' to the United States Gen. Jovellar was quite willing, even in the absence of an Extradition treaty, to oblige the American Government in return for their courtesy in the Arguettes case some years ago. Tweed, however, was apprised in Santiago of his impending danger, and sailed for Vigo, Spain, on July 27, on board the sail mg vessel Carmen. Mr. Cushing thereupon notified the Spanish Government of the fact, and found them willing to arrest Tweed and return him to Cuba, or deliver him up to the American Consul. Every precaution was taken by the Spanish Government to secure Tweed’s arrest in any port of Spain, or on any coast line by whienhe might arrive. Severe orders were given to the Ideal authorities, especially those of Vigo »nd tee Galician coast On Sept. 6 the Carmen hove in sight off Vigo, and was immediately boarded by tee Governor of Pontevedra. The Governor at

once recognized Tweed from photographs which he had had in his possession for some time previous to the arrival of the fugitive. Tweed was entered on the ship's papers under the name of Secor, and was accompanied by a young man giving his name as William Hunt, who is said to be his nephew. Both were immediately secured and thrown into the calabozo under a strong guard, but were subsequently transferred by order to a fortress in Vigo, under command of the Captain General. The First Secretary of the American Legation has requested the extradition of Tweed, and lie will consequently be handed over to the American authorities.

POLITICAL NOTES.

MT The Republicans of Virginia insist that the State can be carried for Hayes and Wheeler, and they propose to make the effort. iy The Democrats lose twenty-eight members of the Legislature In Vermont. And yet the Democratic organs figure out a Democratic gain. 0T The Republican majority in Main* was 12,858 in 1873; 11,397 in 1874; and 4,775 in 1875. Add the returns for 1878, and where are those crumbs of comfort for the Democrats ? HT The Republican majority on the Congressional ticket in Vermont is 27,000, a gain on the vote of 1874 cf 16,753. This point has escaped Democratic mathematicians. — Inter-Ocean. tW This Is the way in which the Philadelphia Times announces the result of the election in Wilmington, Del.: “ Wilmington, the little metropolis of little Delaware, amused herself yesterday wilh a political landslide from Democracy to Republicanism, and changed the popular vote enough to whirl the county should it have the gift of continuance in November.” |W Now, honestly, does it look as if the Republican party was weakening, as the bogus “reformers” under Tilden would have people believe? Vermont voted two weeks ago, and tbe result was an increase of the Republican majorities of the last previous election of from 8,000 to 10,000. Yesterday Maine voted and gave about the same rate of Republican increase. Weakening, is it?— Chicago Journal.

fg* A correspondent of tee New York Times recalls this reminiscence of tee war: “In 1864, just after the battles of the Wilderness, a party of gentlemen were assembled in a room at Willard’s, and in the course of an animated conversation one of them used the following language: ‘Gentlemen, tee mistake we made was that we did not turn McClellan with his fine army on Washington and clean out the whole thing’—meaning the Administration of Mr. Lincoln. He who gave utterance to this patriotic remark was Samuel J. Tilden.” 65F*A Chicago telegram of tee 12th says: The New York Sun having stated that the Hon. Carl Schurz, in writing to a friend in Washington, had said teat in Ohio tee German vote was arrayed against tee Republicans, and that he had doubts whether Hayes would carry the State, a friend of the ex-Senator telegraphed him to-day about the Sun story, asking for tee facts and the privilege of making the reply public. The following is Mr. Schurz’ answer: Michigan City, Inch, Sept. 11 I wrote no such letter; and entertain no such opinion. Ohio seems to me sure for Hayes. Use this as you please. C. Schurz. The Maine elections were held yesterday. The results are of a most gratifying character. In every district, in every hamlet, there were Republican gains, and in some instances the majorities were greater than in 1872. The Republicans made a clean sweep yesterday. The entire State ticket was elected, and from every Congressional, Senatorial and Legislative District tee Republican candidates were returned. That Maine went Republican does not - possess so much significance —she could not do otherwise —as tee fact teat great gains were made over the majorities of last year- It gives tee lie to the hope with which tee Democracy have been buoying up each other, that a large percentage of the live elements of the Republican party had become dissatisfied and yearned for a change.—Chicago Tribune.

Why the Democracy Should Not be Trusted.

For the following reasons Democracy has no claim upon the loyal people of the Nation for their support or confidence: 1. It encouraged the dangerous heresy of States’ Rights, and educated the people of the South to rebel against the Government. 2. It refused, when in power, to take steps against the threatened disruption of the Union, and permitted the rebellion to assume formidable proportions when prompt action would have crushed it in its inception. 3. By its oft-expressed sympathies for the rebel cause during the prosecution of the war it held put false hopes to the Confederates, and thereby prolonged the conflict at the expense of hundreds of thousands of lives and millions of treasure. 4. When victory was about to cfown our efforts to preserve the Union it resolved in National Convention that the war was & failure and demanded that it should cease. 5. Since the close of the war it has placed every obstacle possihle in the way of an honorable and peaceful adjustment of the questions growing out of the abolition of slavery and the changed condition of affaire incidental to the close of an ex haustive war. 6. It opposed in Congress, and in the several State Legislatures, the adoption of the .Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, and, failing to defeat them, has continued its opposition by teaching its followers in the South that they are not bound to obey or respect them. 7. It has approved, either by silence or open defense, the outrages committed by the Democrats of the South on those who differed from them in political opinion. 8. It represents the worst elements of society,. the ignorance and vice pf the North and the disloyal sentiment of the South. 9. Its return to power would tend to destroy our credit by adding to our already heavy debt claims of doubtful character growing oat of the rebellion, and pressed for payment by Democratic influence. 10. It is the same old party that was driven from power in 1860 by an indig. nant people, whom it attempted to betray. It is false in everything that constitutes honorable organization, and is unworthy of trust or confidence. For the reasons given it ought not to be trusted by the American people.— Republic Mcgasine. It is estimated that of an average minion of men and women, 2,153 live to be ninety-five years old, Many a man, however, is an old woman at forty.

NASBY.

Hr. Raskjr Consider* It Hwnoisry u InaCrae* ths Psofl* of (Is* North an to the True State of the Caste with Hsspcct to the Negro. (From the Toledo Blade.] Cosrusn X Hoads. 1 .WicHfs i* ran State mr Kentucky, V j/ Sept 4, 187#. \ Reed in Northern noospapers for some weoks past, I Lev come to the conclooshen that the people uv the North don’t understand the troo status uv things down here, and I feel it my dooty to enllten em. It is not nacheral that a Northern man kin understand the feeling uv a Suthemer. The Northerner never wuz a aristocrat like us —he never wuz a sooperior race, but bein mere labrln men, or mere men uv biznis, or sich, they kin hardly be expected to comprehend how some things strike the minds uv hawty, shivelrus people, which hev been obleeged to succum to force. That the nigger is a trubble to us there ain’t no question, and noboddy denies uv it. He is a worriment and an irritashen, and more than that an a*bsloot noosence, and there never kin be peece so long cz he is onrestrained and oncontrolled. 1. We are in' constant fear uvhim. Here in the Corners there is about 200 uv em—there wuz more, but their repeeted assaultz onto us hez ended in ther bein thinned out somewhat—and them 200 keep us in constant seer. They form a boday by theirselves, and hev doubtless organized to act agin us. I myself hev frekently seen two uv em in close converse, and they hev their own religious meetins, wich is doubtlis a kiver for ther nefarious desines.

We hev never suffered from any outbreaks uv theirn, for the Corners is prompt. Whenever we anti9sipate danger, and seer s risin, we immedjetly sally out and kill a dozen or so, wich nips it in the bud. 2. They will not labor for us, and thus stand in the way uv the progress uv the country. This season the follerin losses wuz inflicted on citizens uv the Comers by these people refoosin to work for em: Issaker Gavitt, four akers uv grass. Capt. M’Pelter.six akers, ditto. Deekin Pogram, five akers, ditto. Elder M’Grath, four akers, ditto. And others too tejus to menshun. I shudder to think that I shood hev lost all my crop es I’d hed any. But ez I ain’t I wuz mercifully spared. This loss come direckly upon the peeple by the absloot refoosal uv the niggers to cut and git in the hay. Every man uv us wuz at Bascom’s every day doorin tbe hayin seeson, implorin them wretches to git it in; but they refoosed, givin ez a reeson that they hed ther own to take keer uv. One uv em insultinly asked why we didn’t go and git it in ourselves? He never asked no more questions. Ther wuz only $2.50 on his body. And ez we lost the hay crop so we snel lose our com. It hez not bin plowed or hoed, becoz we coodent git the labor, and how wat little ther is uv it is to be cut and husked, is the question that we are perpetooally askin ourselves at Bascom’s.

3. —They are not a contentid race, and are onfittin theiraelves ez fast ez they kin to be an inferior people. They hev skools among theirselves, wich is taught by emissaries from Noo England. They are not only learnin ther children to read, and sich, but they are flyin in the face uv Providence by learnin theiraelves. They hev the impudence to discuss things, ana in one naberhood they hev reely startid a debatin skool. Uv coarse all this worries us. Es they keep on in this way they won’t be fit to be agin redoosed even es we do git a Dimocratic President. I ain’t shoor that it ain’t too late now, and that even es Tilden shood be electid, I doubt es we cood bring ’em to any thing neer wat they yoosed to be. 4. —They are dnslent to us to a degree that is onbearable. They refoose to take ors ther hats wen they meet us, and teech ther children to show us the same disrespect. To- a true Suthern gentleman, one uv the sooperior race, this is sufficient to drive him to madnis. He hez alluz taken great comfort in the jdee that ther wuz a race beneeth him, ana it cuts to the quick to destroy the ijlushen. Niggers wich only a few years ago’wuz the property uv our citizens now pass us with their heads erect, and their hats on, and even irritate us by appearin with better close than we kin wear. Issaker Gavitt’s wife wuz only last week driven to the very verge of maanis, by seein Mirandy, the wife uv one uv ther niggers, on the street with a black silk dress on, suthin Mrs. Gavitt hezn’t hed sence Issaker sold Mirandy’s daughters to git one fur .her in 1860. This prodooses Tnsubordinashen in our families. Mrs. Gavitt made it lively for Issaker. She told him that es he wood quit loafin around Bascom’s and go to work, ez Mirrandy’s husband did, possibly he mite git her another dress. Issaker coodent make her understand that a shivelry coodent be expectid to work in the feeld, like a nigger, and to escape her tongue he didn’t go home fur two days, but slept on the floor at Bascom’s. 5. This inferior race insists onvotinand takin part in public affares. At meetings called to decide ez to levyin taxes for roads and other purposes, they come in and vote and speek, jest ez tho they wuz white, claimin that becoz they pay taxes they hev a rite to a voice in the disposishen uv em, forgittin that an inferior race ain’t no rites to mix in anything. At a meetin last week to consider the extensliun uv a road, one uv these degraded beings come up with a paper, on which he had written the cost per mile, and all about it, and he hed the impudence to hand it to the Secretary, Issaker Gavitt, to reed. I hed to releeve Issaker’s embarrassment bytellin the inferior man to reed it hiaself, wich he did, and in consekens title proposition was voted down. They inflict there humiliashuns onto us perpetooally. I cood say more, bat this isenuff. Ther is but one way out uv this trubble. The two races wuz never calkelatid to live toS ether except ez master and servant, and. ier never will be peace — ther can’t be—till these inferior people take the place nacher intended ’em for. The aristocracy uv the sunny South will never admit tern to an ekality. They hev succeeded in gittin farms and gittin a foothold that irritates us, to a point past endoorance. We shel never be content till the old order uv things is re-estab-lished. Ez the stronger race, we must be releeved uv all seer uv ’em. We must he wunst agin made their guardians and protectors and guides. They must wunst more labor for us, and under our direckshen. We shel never ask that they be abalootely re-enslaved, but they must be made our wards’ ez it were. They must not be elevated to the rites uv citizenship till they are fit for it. They must shut up ther skool-houses, and their churches, and resoiom their normal condishen til] sich time ez they hev progressed fur enuff to be safely entrusted with the rites uv freemen. 77

This is wat we want, and this is wat we must hev to hev peece. Es the nigger will consent to this ther will be peece—otherwise not. We can’t endoor the present condishen uv things no longer. Tttte sass will decide the matter. Es Tilden is elected, all will be well. With a Democratic President and a Democratic Congris, with the Southern claims All allowed, with capital, and tbe means to compel nigger labor, the South will enter upon a new career uv prosperity, and be almost ez well off ez it would hev bin hed we succeeded in conkerin the minyuns of the Gorriller, Linkin, and establishin a government uv our own. Dimocrats uv the North to your posts!

PETROLEUM V. NASBY,

Reformer. P. B.—ln the interests uv reform I hev arranged for 400 Kentucky Dimocrats to go over into Injeany in October, provided the money for ther expenses is forthcomin. We are wutin anxiously.

The following exhibit of the reduction in the State debt will answer: Democratic administration of the State finances began Jan. 1, 1868, and ended Jan. 1, 1872.

Having paid about $5,000,000 of the debt every year during Republican administration, all that remained at the close to be provided for was only $705,982.35. THE REDUCTION OF TAXES. Now we are prepared to see how the reduction of tuxes was effected. The following table shows at a glance: Taxes for ISIS and 1876 Compared. , 1875.-^* < * > V- a > Object. Bate Mills.

Total tax, 1879 .$14,206,680 61 Total tax, 1876 8,188,578 19 Reduction $6,018,107 42 The above statement ol taxes, as will be seen, embraces two classes of items—first, taxes /or the payment of debts; second, taxes for the general running expenses of the State Government. The first class embraces the tax for the bounty debt, for the canal debt, for canal awards (which constitute a debt, being the amount awarded by the Court of Canal Appraisers for damages to property-own-ers by the action of the State), and for deficiency from the previous year. None of these were subject to the discretion of the Governor and Legislature. They were simply debts fixed by law, and had to be paid. The second class embraces the tax for schools and for the general purposes of the State Government. This is the only part of the tax subject to the discretion o’s the Governor and Legislature. Now, it will be seen that the tax for all objects except to meet the requirements of debt under the law is exactly the same in 1876 as in 1875. The tax for the general purposes and expenses of the Government is precisely alike for both years. That is, tee tax over which the Governor has control is not reduced at all. The only difference is in the tax levied to meet tee requirements of the debt, and teat is fixed by law, and the Governor has nothing to do with it. This will appear more distinctly by separating from tee general table tee tax for debt requirements.

Tax for debt requirements, 1875 $6,887,567 79 Tax for debt requirements, 1876 789.960 87 Less tax from less debt $5,548,807 42 In other words, in 1875, as in previous years, there was colleeted, under the requirements of law, the sum of $6,337,567.79 to pay off the debt; while in 1876, the debt having been nearly paid off, the whole tax for that purpose was only $789,260.37. But this is not all. The tax for 1875 was calculated on the valuation of 1874, but levied on the valuation of 1875, which was higher. There was thus an excess or surplus of $1,190,833.37, which went so far as to reduce the tax of this year. This excess, outside of the items, for debts—where the excess relieved us of raising so much for debts this year—was $456,789.36. So that the true state of the case stands as follows: i* j Tax for debt requirements, 1875 $6,837,567 79 Excess in 1875.. /• • 456,789 36.

The whole reduction of taxation this year comes from the extinguishment of debt. 3, The extinguishment of the debt was effected by Republican administration. 3.
