London. April 22.—A dispatch from Ginglolova, south Africa, of April 7th, says: The relief column, on reaching here, on ihe istinst., was informed of the advance of great masses ol the enemy. The troops at once formed in Laager, and strengthened their entrenchments. At 4 o'clock in the morning the Zulus appeared, »kirmi*.hingon the right, in front of the rifles and naval brigade or. the northeast. We first engaged a large force, which appeared on the surrounding heights. The Zulus fought bravely, advan* within thirty yards of our entrenchments. The attack lasted nearly an hour, when the Zulus retreated, precipitately, followed by the mounted infantry and native contingent. On April 3d. "the relief column, under Lord Chelmsford, started for Ekowe. It was composed of the fifty-seventh and sixtieth regiments, six companies of the ninety-fiivt marines, two rocket companies, one gatling gun. two nine pounders, mounted infantry, and Dunn's scouts. The rest of the column remained to guard the baggage. The maunted natives and volunteers led the way. No Zvilus were seen. After a successful march of fifteen mile*, Colonel Pearson, with a few companies were met at 5 o'clock. The force reached Ekowe at 9:30. The garrison bad plenty of food there were 100 sick and thirty dead. Lieutenant Evelyn, of the Buffs, and Lieutenant Davidson, of the 99th, were dead from fever. The camp was very strong. On April 4th, Colonel Pearson marched for Tugela, and on AtprU 5th, Lord Chelmsford started for Ginglelovia. A new entrenched camp will b« formed. Part of 'he force is returning to Tugela. The Zulus lost 1,200 in the engagement.

A dispatch from Ginglilova. April 4th, say&: "The day after the battle, Cetewa\o's brother sent a flagtf truce propooing to surrender. Lord Chelmsford replied

that

the only terms that he could

grant were that all chiefs and men surrender themselves as prisoners. The proposal was believed to be a feint to delay the probable advance of the British on Ulutidi. Lord Chelmsford and the main force have returned to the Lugla river.

A telegram to the war office, from St. Vincent, dated March 22d, says: Lord Chelmstord intends to abandon Ekowe, as the toads make it difficult of approach. He will establish a post on the coast road.

REINFORCEMENTS.

London, April 22.—A captain, lieutenant and one hundred men of the Sixtieth regiment of rifles have been ordered to be ready for immediate embarkment for Natal.

The Orentes, troop 6l ip, is ordered to be ready for sea immediately, to takeout about 1,200 men for the Cape of Good Hope.

RUSSIAN REVOLUTIONISTS. London, April 22.—A St. Petersburg correspondent of the Cologne Gazette explains the state of things preceeding the publication of tbe imperial ukase. He says. The clandestin'.ey circulated organof the revolutionists, Land and Liberty, demanded the abolition of the third section of the imperial chancellery, and the dismissal of the court of camaritt*. It published a list of about two hundred names, declaring that the revolutionists would shoot, stab and murder until their demands were satisfied, and the camarittn swept from the face of the earta. The correspondent estimates that the secret society numbers 19,000 fully initiated working members, besides thousands who have taken the simple oath of loyalty. The total value of the property of the*society is estimated at two millions ot roubles.

THE PBENCH ELHCTIONS. London. April

2 2

i'ority

—A Paris corres

pondent, commenting on the elections at Bordeaux, Champ Elvsees aRd Moret, to fill vacancies in the chamber of deputies, sa\ that with the exception of their triumph over the Radicals at Rheins Btois the moderate Republicans have lost all they could lose. Relative to Blanqui, the correspondent says: The governfnent must insist on annuling his election. It will probably secure a sufficient ma-

for this purpose, even should some ionapartists vote with radical. If Blanqui be liberated after his election is annulled, the chances of his re-election will be much diminished, though even then his defeat cannot confidently be counted upon. If, however, his liberation be refused, his re-election will be certain.

THE AGRICULTURAL CRISIS. M. Seoraid, Minister of Commerce and Agriculture, addressing a meeting of the French Agriculture Society, said he was well aware that many intelligent men did not regard the agricultural crisis as a press-ir.g one, and were scared by the huge increase of American supplies. He

could prove, however, that similar alarms had often previously been spread. Never had the wheat trade been subject to greater variations and depressions than under the sliding scale arrangement, which experience seemed to have condemned forever. He left it to efforts to determine whether American competition was likely to be permanent, and how the abundance of the last few American harvests was, as soma alleged, exceptional. He would pay every attention to the data furnished, but the Government's really effective role lay in extending means of communication, facilitating the use of improved implements, and diffusing education which would encourage agriculture mere securely thaw any devices of customs tariff.

FIGHING IN SBERVIA.

London, April 22.—A dispatch from Belgrade reports that the Albanians have occupied the heights of Samatoff and the redoubts erected by the Turks during the late war, and have, with one and a half battalions, successfully withstood the attack of three Servian divisions. There has been three days' severe fightine. The Servian attempts to destroy the Albanians had been unsuccessful up to Monday. Another Servian division has beed ordered to the front. The Servian loss is estimated at 700 men.

THE TAX QUESTION.

Frankfont, April 22.—The German Social political association has passed a a resolution, by a large majority, in favor of moderate reform of the tariff in the protectionist sense, and with a certain degree of retaliation against countries which injuriously tax German goods. ......

SCOBE ANOTHER FOR PAROLE. "London, April 23.—Parole at Epsom to day won the great metropolitan stakes.

Castlereagh was the only other entry that faced the starter. In consequence of the victory of Parole yesterday he carried to day ten pounds extra. Just previous to the race yesterday Elf King was very much fancied and dislike to Parole was so general that he declined to 4 to 1 against him. But winning so handsomely he became a strong favorite at 6 to 4 for the great metropoliton stakes. Lorrillard had backed his horse for the city and suburban handicap prior to his Newmarket victory, and as the result won something over 20,000 pounds. General satisfaction at the victory of the plucky American, yesterday, was fully ptoved.

2 2 —Several

emigrant trains have already left this point for the public lands in the Indian Territory to locate claims. Great excitement prevails. A large colony will organize at Caffeyville on May 7, under the head of Colonel C. C. Carpenter, of Kansas City. Preparations on a grand scale are being made by the business men here to supply the demand for outfitting supplies, which must be very great, for the movement is a general one. People are coming from all parts of the country. They will not be disappointed. Provisions, farm implements, seeds, furniture, lumber, clothing and stock are all plenty, and are as cheap as they can be had in the East. Verily, the opening of the Indian Territory is near at hand.

CLGtjUKG HOURS OP A LONG AND USEFUL LIPE—THE SUFBERER UNCONSCIOUS AT MIDNIGHT.

From the York Htrald Sunday. General John A. Dix, one of the oldest and

most highly esteemed citizens of New York, long distinguished in the service

of the State and country, is lying at 4h« point of death at nis residence in West

Twenty-first street. About five weeks ago the malady frotfl which he has suffered for many years—an affection of the bladder—broke out in its most acute form, and the General was confined to his house. Drs. Metcalf, Poik and Van Buren, who have been unremitting in their attention to the patient, held a consultation and concluded that the case was of the most serious character. Tbe General, however, lost none oi his wonted hopeful spirit, but moved about his room, expressing confidence that the severity of the attack was only a matter of a few days, after which he would be able to go out again. This tenacity in clinging to life, so characteristic of his strong nerve and physical endurance during even his latter years, he manifested till one week a^o when an unfortunate accident bpfol htm and forbade all hope of recuperation. (Ie had passed several nights without sleep, and this led to a depressed state of mind, which first became noticeable only ten days ago. On Friday .night of last week Nature's restorer came to his relief and he enjoyed for six hours a slumber which proved most refreshing. Indeed, such symptoms of improvement manifested themselves that he expressed a desire to sit up in bed on Saturday morning. In the effort to rise his right arm slipped under him and hi6 collar bone was broken. From that moment all hope of recovery seemed to depart from the patient. With calm resignation he announced to his sorrowing family that he was prepared to pass awav.

A MODEL CONFESSION OF FAITH. And here may be mentioned an incident that occurred during this trying ordeal, and which furnishes a key to the character of the man who, during the best years of his life, never failed to perform spiritual and charitable works even when immersed in the responsibilities and ares of official secular duties. "It is common," remarked an old bosom friend of the General yesterday, "when a great statesman, soldier or man of letters pastes away to treat his memory by a purely secular standard. How seldom do you see a picture of his inner life, the thoughtful man, the pious man, the man sitting in the centre of the family circle? And general Dix, to be known at all, must be known in all these features. Just think of this beautiful epitome Ift whim the .dying man hi« confession ofifaith only yesterday, in presence of his family. They were directing his thoughts to the world above when he giade an effort to rise, but could not, owing to th 2 condition of his shoulder. He then cast his eyes upward, made a movement with both hands and with a clear, firm voice said:—'I believe in God. I have entire faith in my Redeemer I am at enmity with no man.' Nothing in the book of prayer can be more concise or beautiful than that, and the sentiment came from the heart of as truly Christian and good a man as I ever knew. In this confession you have embodied his whole religion ancj his inner life."

The General last recognizcd his family and friends on Friday night. During that evening he sent for Bishop Potter, who remained with him for some time. He also sent for Dr. Swope, of Trinity chapel, and dictated a telegraphic dispatch to his daughter, Mrs. Walsh, who lives in Japan, lie told her he was about to leave the world, bade her good-by and gave her his blessing. His daughter, Mrs. Charles F. Blake his wife and his son, Dr. Morgan Dix, of Trinity Church, have been with him constantly.

FAILING FACULTIES.

The General's mental faculties*' were remarkably clear till yesterday morning, when a change was noticable. Meanwhile strict orders were given by the physicians that the patient should be kept quiet, and that not even the most intimate friend of the family be admitted to the bedside. Another consultation of Physicians was held, and they were satisfied that the sufferer was in the final stage of his disease, his death being only a question of a few hours. Several friends called and received all the information they desired from the physicians. Among them was Mr. J®hn J.Cisco, who was assistant Treasurer in the United States Treasury in thii city when General Dix was Secretary ot the Trearury. At three o'clock the patient appeared to be sinking rapidly, and at five the rumor had gone torth that he was dead. No visible change had taken place, however. He lapsed into a quiet slumber which was interrupted only by a few intervals. At eight o'clock the doctors again reported that no change had taken place. At twelve o'clock for the worse. His family and Dr. Mitcalf were with him.

At one o'clock this morning General Dix was sleeping easily and his physician has gone home.

Rather Thau One Citizen's Liberty be Abridged.

SENATE.

YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. Washington, April 22. Pendleton gave notice that, on Thursday, after the disposition of the army bill, he would dfcll the bill providing for giving heads of departments seats on the floor of the Senate and House.

Consideration was then resumed of the army bill. Garland al'uded to Blaine's eunciation of the consequences of failure to provide for the expense of the government, and declared that rather than see the liberties of the humblest citizen longer abridged bv a law which it was in the power of Congress to repeal, he would see the Capitol crumble to pieces, the ships rot at their moorings, and the supreme court unfrocked. But there was no intention to employ coercion. Each department of government was and should be independent in its action, and if each did its duty according to the spirit of the constitution, he looked forward to continued profperity and a brilliant future for the country.

Davis, of Illinois, made a speech deprecating the rekindling of scctional strife, and taking the ground thaf the contested clauses were not only germane to the bill, but should pass in the interest of constitutional liberty. He said the country was at peace and federal law observed in all pares, and that it was proper and right to remove from the statute laws passed during the existence of civil war. He advocated a policy of relief tor the industries of the country rather than the fighting over of the rebellion again.

Logan said that he understood his colleague to remark that the laws were obeyed alike in the north and south.

Davis—I meant the federal laws. Logan differed with his colleague, and thun referred to an annual report of the commissioner of internal revenue, for the year 187-8, to show the very large number of,vulationg,of the internal revenue laws ttiknc Sfutfet, a» comparedwith^httZtforth, and 'that five murders in that connection were committed in the South and none in the North.

Davis saiii he had no doubt violations of the revenue laws were taking place all over the country.

LogaAisked his colleague whether he could show a solitary murder committed in the North, or men wounded,in the execution of the law, and repeated his former assertion that the laws are not equally obeyed North and South.

Davis said his colleague was determined to have the last word. He [DavisJ did not know whither the criminal laws were obeyed as well in the South .as in the North, but he adhered to what he had already said that the federal laws as a system, are obeyed with as much allegiance in the south as in the north.

Allison spoke next, against the repealing clauses, and at the conclusion of his remarks the Senate adjourned.

HOUSE.

YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. Washington, April 22. The House went into committee on the legislative appropriation bill.

Bailey characterized the proposed repeal as an infamous usurpation of power on the part of the Democratic party. It was not asked for by the people of the country, but by the Democratic leaders and politicians'. He predicted that the Republicans would march to political victory in 1880, with Grant as leader.

Covert made a speech on the Democratic side of the guestion confining himself principally to a recital of what he characterized as the high handed outrages perpetrated in New York undercover of the infamous federal elections law.

Geddes, referring to the consideration of a presidential veto, said that he would not call in question the presidential title, but that he would never forgive nor torget the gre«t wrong by which Hayes held his seat, and that he had sworn on his Country's altar never to cease his efforts, never to lay down the legal, peaceful constitutional weapon of warfare, until the fraud 'and crime by which the present incumbent held bis office were condemned at a free election, and the choice of the people inaugurated.

Thompson spoke on the Democratic side, and Bavne and Shallenberger on the Republican side.

COLORD CONVENTION. New Orleans, April 21.—At the colored convention, last day's session, the committee on business reported. Afte reading the report, Ruby read a resolution adopting the report, and spoke at some length. He explained the facts contained in the report, that made the convention so restive under opposition. He suggested organized and systematic emigration. He explained' that the reason for the turbulence in the convention was due to the presence of politicians who interfered with the proceedings, and it was trusted that this fact would be appreciated. The colored men, last year, produced thirty-five million dollars of wealth, and now it is proposed to let the white man raise the sugar, cotton and rice. It was an organized movement of colonists. A negro exodus means the loss of thirty-five members of Congress and the pcesent Democatic majority. The report was adopted.

Ruby here introduced Mr. Turke, an agent for the Honduras Immigration society, who urged that colored men should go to that region,as the most congenial climate to their temperament. The subject of immigration to Honduras was referred to the committee on migration. Rev. Dr. Newman, in an address, said he did not think the colored people should leave the 6tate until the last minute, and not until the situation became unendurable, but then they should go in a body. Ruby moved that when the convention adjourned it should adjourn singing "John Brown's body lies mouldering in* the grave." It was so ordered, and when the hour for adjournment sine die arrived, three verses of this song were sung. Blount delivered the benediction, and the assemblage dispersed.'

FEARS OF A MOB.

Louisville, Kv., April 21.—A special dispatch from Mount Vernon, Kentucky, to The Courier-Journal, says that for several weeks past a party of men has been

holding

meetings near there, and

have effected an organization for the pur. pose of killing several persons in the town and county, now on trial in the circuit court, should they escape indictment, and have made threats to burn the town and hang certain county official*. Last Saturday a writ was issued for several persons known to be members of the organization, and the writ placed in the hands of Mr. Owens, the county detective. A posse of twenty-fi ve men was summoned, and together they proceeded to the house of Jess Pittman, who lives near Pine Hill. Not finding him there they returned, and when a short distance from Pittman's house thev were fired into by a party of bushwhackers. The fire was returned and 60me 200 shots exchanged, when the bushwhackers withdrew. Two officers were slightly and one of &he bushwhackers reported seriously wounded.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CON VENTION OF LOUISIANA. New Orleans, April 22.—The constitutional convention transacted nobusi-^ nesB, awaiting the report of the committee on organization. Stevenson, of Iberville, Democrat, offered the following, which lies over under the rules:

Whereas, There is a feeling of apprehension and alarm on the part of colored citizens of this state, with regard to the intended action of the convention, it 16 deemed proper, in advance of any official action, to disabuse their minds of any such apprehension therefore,

Resolved, That there is no intention whatever, entertained by this body of impairing or restricting the political or religious rights uf any class of citizens, but, on the contrary, the intention is to perpetuate eyery and all rights now guaranteed by the state and the constitution rr_*. c. 3f "•*'of

PENSION ARREARAGES

Washington, April 22.—The first treasury warrant for the payment of arrears of pensions was signed to-day, and it is believed that back pensions can be paid as rapidly as accounts arc made up, or at the rate of a million and a half a month, unless unexpected appropriations should be hereafter made by Congress. After July 1st the saving created by the I process of refunding, and the increased revenue will tell favorably upon finances. The annual saving by refunding is $13,600,000, and two year's saving on interest will go far towards paying these arrears of pensions without increasing the burden of the public debt..
