On the 10th InBt., Ex-Gov. Packard
lelegraphbd as follows to Hon. J. G.
Blaine:
The overthrow of the lawful state
government was appropriately cele
brated to-day. A detaohment of the
army and navy of the United States
participated with the white league of
Alabama and .Louisiana, in this cele
bration of Democratic success did po
etic justioe require that the honors of
thisaohievementahouid be thus equal
ly divided. In the absence of the
commission the gray accorded the post
of honor to the blue, and asked no
apology. The custom house and post
office waB closed in admiration of the
event. It is probable that United
States interference will not be requir
ed hereafter.
The occurrence (the Mississippi
masaore) is significant, as showing
the temper of the whites. Doubtless,
it Is possible to have peace and order
In Mississippi ultimately, from the
reign of democracy, but It will only
be when all obnoxious republicans are
killed off. New York Times.
The killing of Republican leaders
white and blaok will continueas here
tofore. Why not? Is any one fool
enough to think that the delivery of
South Carolina and Louisiana into
Democratic hands would purify the
bloody handfl of Democraoy or change
for the better their tyrannical and
murderouB disposition? They are
going to render Inoperative the Con
stitutional Amendments, undo what
ever has been done under reconstruc
tion lows, and any head that dare be
raised, down there, in opposition to
this well-known Democratic policy,
will be laid low.

The ohief supporter of Mr Hayea
and hla polioy, in theBe parts, is a
prominent democratic attorney of this
city. Butler County Republican.
We frequently see such statements
as the above. Such support is given
to President Hayes not because such
supporters believe he has dealt out
justice to any from whom it has hith
erto been withheld, or that he haa
done eome great and noble deed, but
aimply because they are impressed
that a huge brogan has crushed the
political nigger out of eight, that the
Amendments have been rendered
null and void, the Republican party
aquelohed and the Democratio party
correspondingly elevated. If ever
thes9 "chief supporters" are unde
ceived by finding that the negro has
been blessed instead of cursed by tho
President's policy, they will curse
bim and his policy, as heartily as
they cow endorse thera.
POLITICAL XOTES
Whateverthe ultimate effects ofthe
southern policy -its first fruits are nei
ther fair nor to the taste of loyal men.
Republicans all know this. Even
they know it who cover their chagrin
with the roseato mautleof theiriiopes.

The constitution and the laws obvi
ously go for nothing. A commission
makes the president jn contempt of
the popular vote; a commisson pulls
down and sets up state governments.

Referring to the talked-of discussion
of Hayes' policy in the state conven
tion, the Nonpariel says there is no
occasion fox aught but harmony. This
question does not enter into statopol-,
itics and its introduction could tie
viewed only in the light of a deliber
ate attempt to disrupt the party.
The action of the president post
poning the special session oC congress
till October meets with almost univer
sal approval. The only exception to
this judgment is on the part of a class
of democrats whose whole political
stock in trade consists ofopposition to
every republican 'measure. If the
democratic members of the last con
gress hud done their duty instead of
consuming the session in political
wrangles and so-called investigations,
started and conducted solely for polit
ical effect, the appropriation bills
would all have been passed and there
would have been no necessity for an
extra session. The people want repose
and every business interest demands
it. They fear that congresswilldisturb
the steady progress as townrds better
times and they are glad to see the ses
sion put oil as long as possible. Noth
ing could be better except no special
session ; but this blessing the demo
crats have rendered impossible. In

The First two Weeks ofthe war.
From the Chicago Tribune.
The two weeks of tho Russo-Turk-ish
war are at an end, and before en
tering upon the third it will bo of in
terest to Bee what has been accom
plished in the past fortnight. The
Armyofthe Danube crossed thePruth
April 24, the Seventh and Tenth Corps
or left wing, at Bolgrad ; the Eighth
and Ninth Corps, or centre, at Husoh
and Fultsi ; and the Eleventh and
Twelfth Corps, or right wing at Jassy.
By one of the most wonderful forced
marches of modern times, the advance
occupied Galatzon the next day and
saved tho railroad bridge across the
Sereth from distruotlon by tho Turks.
Between April 25 aud May 2 the en
tire Russian army, swinging around
tho left wing as a pivot, occupied the
whole bend of the Danube from Is
moil to Braila, thus threatening the
Dobrudsoha, the narrow atrip of
Northeastern Bulgarie between Rou
mania and the Black Sea. Fearing
that the Russians Intended to force a
passage at this point, the Turks con
centrated their forces to oppose them,
selecting the railroad from Tscherna-
woda to Kostendje as their first line of
defense, and tbe quadrilateral com
manded by the strong fortress of Slhs
trla and Rustohuk on the Danube,
Shumla in the interior and Varna on
the ooast, as their second, lineOn tha
3d InBt. their advance was in Bucha
rest. On the4th, a portion of the left
wing had pushed on to a point oppo
oite Silistria, and on the same duy the
the Turkish gunboats commenced to
bombard Reni, on the Galatz bend of
the Danube. From the 5th to tho 7th
artillery duels across the Danube be
tween Braila and Reni were frequent
without inflicting any particular dam
ai?e on either side. On the 8th, the
Russian advance was at Giurgevo, op
posite Rustchuk, aud on the 9th the
Turks commenced a vigorous bon
bardmentof Braila, but without ef
fect. On the same day, tho Cossack
cavalry crossed over into the DobrudB
cha and destroyed some Turkish prop
erty, and bands of Bashi-Bazouks
orossed into Roumania, ahead of the
Russian advance, but were driveu
back by the people with such weap
ons as they could hastily Improvise.
Since that time Russian engineers
hnve reached Turn-Severin, and the
advanoe Is in the neighborhood of Ka
lafat, whioh Is now defended by Rou
manians againstattaok from the Turk
ish fortress of Wlddin. During these
two weeks, therefore, while no battles
have been fought in Roumania, the
Russians have succeeded In bringing
their army into admirable position the
main army occupj'ing a strip of terri
tory in Roumania which would be in
cluded in a semi-oircle intersected at
Ismail, ToksohanI, Ploeschti, and
Giurgevo, with the Danube for the
string of the bow, the advance guard
being well on to the Servian frontier
where Widdin and Kalafat are now
pounding away at eaoh other. The
march of the Russians has been a re
markable one, not only as a physical
military feat, but alsoas a feat of mil
itary transportation, the Russians act
ually throwing away the miserable
rolling-stook ofthe Roumanian roads,
ohanging the gauge to suit their own
stock, and building oross-cuts to shor
ten distances. It Is now reported
(from Turkish sources) that the Rus
sians made their first attempt to
bridge "the Danube and oross it on the
9th at Reni, which Is on the bend of
the river a few miles east of Galatz ;
that the bridge was broken by the
Turkish infantry and artillery, assist
by their gungoata ; and that the Rus
sian defeat was a very severe one. It
is always well however to discount in
telligence reoeivod from Turkish
sources. Tho Russians may have been
repulsed In their first effort to oross,
but it is not at all probable that there
has been anything like s general Rus
sian defeat. The Russians have
orossed it before and will cross it
again. The failure ofone division to
cross a certain point is but an inci
dent In the general plan of forolng the
passage.
The first shot of the war was fired
in Asia. The Army of tho Caucasus
crossed the frontier into Armenia on
the same day April 24, that the Army
of the Danube orossed the Pruth into
Roumania. The right wing advanced
towards Batoum, on tbe south shore
of the Blaok Sea, and on the 2-5th the
advance had a skirmish with the
Turkish force from Trebizond, and
were forced baok with a loss of 800
men. On the next day the Turkish
fleet bombarded Poti and Fort St.
Nioholae, near the frontier. The re
pulse near Batoum was InBignifioant,
and had no effeot upon the move
ments of the main wing, whioh leav
ing a sufficient foroe to observe Ba
toum, has since trended to the south
east to cooperate with the centre In
its movements against Erzeroum.
The centre marohed directly from Al
exandropol to Kara and fought a se
vere battle with the Turks under
Mouhktar Pasha on the 29th and 30th
driving them from their position with
severe loss, and foroing them baok to
the fortress, the investment of whioh
was completed on the 6th inst., Ieav-j
Ing the main portion of the centre
free to continue its advance. The left
wing marched southward, and on the
30th of April captured the strong posi
tion ofBayazid, near tbe Persian fron
tier about seventy miles Bouth of Kara
and 135 miles eoutherst of Elzeroum.
Advancing from this point, a Turkish
force was encountered and forced
back, while the Russian army kept
on to co-opperate with the centre.
Erzeroum is the objective point of all
three divisionsof the army, and the
Souganla Mountains are the key to
Erzeroum. The right wing may be
able to turn them, but the left and
centre must force the passes, and at
this point the next great battle may
be looked for.
A Terrible Catastrophe.
On tho 11th inst. the new court
house being built at Rockford, Win
nebago County, 111. burying the work
men, some twenty-five in number in
the ruins, ten or twelve of whom met
a horrible death and all more or less
injured. A Chicago Tribune speciul
telegram from Rockford gives tho fol
lowing disoriptiou ofthe tragic occur
rence: A pall has fallen over what this
morning was a happy community.
The Winnebago county court house,
which this morning when our citizens
commenced their days labors was the
pride of their hearts, is now a desolate
ruin, a monument of criminal incom
petency. Some families which bade
adieu to their loved ones this morning
received their corpses to-night, disfig
ured by the ruins from which they
were drawn by piecemeal. The build
ing was not yet under roof. The mass
ive stone cornice whioh preceded the
roof was to-day being put on. Just as
the keystone waa being placed in the
dome of the main pavillion the brick
work between the iron and atone gave
way, and tho entire dome and the in
terior walla of the structure came
crumbling down with a craBh.
THE TEKHIHIiE CRASH
was heard nearly a mile away. A
brief description of the structure will
aid in understanding the accident.
The Btyle of tho building is French
Venitiau of the renaisannce, designed
by Henry L. Gay, of Chicago. The
coutraot for tho building was let to
W. A. RiohardBon, of Springfield, who
in the spring of 1876 began work. It
has two pavilions, aud a centra dome
over the front entrance. The two
naviliona rise about thirty feet above
the level of the cornice. Tbe dome Is
119 feet from the ground, and support
ed by the front wallson the uorthslde
and two Iron columns from ,10 to 12
inohes in diameter on the inner side.
These columns rest upon a brick wall
going up from the ground iloor to the
floor of the court room. The Walls
were about thirty feet high, and it ap
pears were entirely inadequate to hold
tho immense weight of iron pillars and
the massive masonry of the dome
whioh rested upon tho pillars. Upon
the top of the iron columns was a
wrought iron girder, upon whioh was
laid thevener and brick ofthe dome.
It appears that the lower brick walls
were orushed by the weight of the up
per masonry and crumbled like bo
much rotten mortar bringing with it
the
ENTIRE INTERIOR OF THE BOILUIXG,
taking all the rafterd, the conugated
iron ceiling of every room, with its
concrete filliuir. the iron joists all the
scaffolding, all came down In one ter
rific crash, bringing with it nearly all
the workmen who were operating up
on the top of the building. At the
time of the accident there were from
twenty to twenty-fivo men at work.
TheaccQuuthanpened atgxqotly.ll;30
a. m. to-day. Thd wliBleniassive
stone top of the dome fell with a ter
rific crash toward State street. A man
named Timothy Flannagan, who was
just putting in the key stone of the fin
al cornice jumped for the guy rope of
the big derrick in front, but missing
his aim, fell the distauoo ot 120 feet to
the earth and
WAS DASHED TO PIECES.
At this time but few persons were
upon the soene. The mass of human
beings, with tho exception of four or
five, who jumped from tho windows
fell inside the totering walls and were
burled in tho debris. Tho whole
structure looked as though it would fall
and those assembled were appalled
and knew not what to do. To go near
enough to secure those mangled and
bleeding in the ruins was hazardous
in the extreme, but brave men wont
fearlessly to work before the dust
oleared away and commenced to ex
tricate the dead and dying.
INDISCRIBABLE HORROR ENSUED.
Men lay terribly mutilated beneath
these rocks, shrieking for assistance
that was only rendered at tho risk of
the bystanders' lives. One unfortu
nate man named William Gloss, was
extricated but one of his legs was left
beneath a ponderous stone. Ho eoou
expired in great agony as he lay upon
the green sward in front of the court
house. A negro jumped from a win
dow sixty feet from the ground, nnd,
though badly Injured will probably re
cover. Within a few minutes after
tho disaster no less than four bodies
were recovered by the almost superhu
man efforts of the Immense orowd that
qulokly gathered. A Swede named
Andrew Bildahl had his head split
open, but the wound waa closed and
the victim taken home and may Hvo.
THE ANGUISH OF THE LIVING
was heartrending. The workmen's
wives nnd mothers were soon on the
spot. The air was filled with sobs,
wailing, moaning, nnd tho onlooker
was sickened by the-slght3 on every
hand.
THRILLING ESCAPES.
W. D. Riohardson, contractor, and F.
E. Latham, auperintendent.-had a nar
row and thrilling escape. They were
both on top of the dome of the build
ing before it fell and were talking of
the probability of its falling when
they heard a crash and rushed at once
for the west wall, where they stood
when tho domewentdown. Had they
been a moment later both must have
perished. When the duBtoleared away
both were standing on the wall. A
cry of fire was raised, but no fire broke
out.
The Greek Church and the Czar.
Wherein does the Greek Church
differ from the Catholic Church?
Does the Czar sustain the same rela
tionship to the llussiau Church that
the Pope does to the Roman Catholic
Church ?
We answer this question in a gener
al way. The points in whioh the
Grffioo-Russian Church differs from
the Roman Catholio are : It denies
the spiritual supremacy of tho Pope, it
prohibits the oelibacy ofthe clergy, it
authorizes all individuals to read and
study the Soriptures in the vernacular
tongue, it rejects the dootrine of pur
gatory, aud has nothing to do with
works of supererogation, indulgences
and dispensations, and recognizes no
one as the visibie vicar of Christ on
earth. We purposely avoid tbo finer
distinctions of doctrinal points. No
priest can perform any spiritual func
tion before he is married, nor after ho
becomes a widower. The general
ohuroh government is similar to that
of the Roman Churoh.
The Russian Churoh separated from
the See of Rome in 1051, and fromj
Byzantine patriarchate in 15S9. It has
now its own independent synod, but
mantaius the relatione of a sister
church with the four patriarchate
of Constantinople, Jerusalem, Anti
och and Alexandria. The sacred sy
nod of the Greek Church was estab
lished with theconcurrenceoftheRub
sian clercy and the four Eastern patri
archs. The Czar is not the head of
tiie church in the same sense as the
Pope of Rome. He is officially termed
the protector or defender of thechuroh.
The Czar appoints to every office in
the church, but has never claimed the
right of deciding theological and dog
matic questions. The judgment of
the church being once givon the Czar
commands itsexecutlon. --inter Oceai.

Washington, in her robes of spring,

the delightful aroma arising from her
emerald fields perfumes the air and
serves as a balm of Gilead to the anx

in singing "How tedious and taste

especially of the grasshopper regions;
that he had clerks engaged mailing
packages by the thousands. Senator
