It is officially confirmed that the Sultan, to (uote the languago of the English papers, "has solicited Her Majesty's Goverment to aDDioacu the Emperor of Russia with the view bringing about negotiations for and that Oovernnnt have agreed to comply with request." The London papers on the proposed mediation rerj cautiously, and seem to have no confidence in its success. German papers are more sceptics', and insist the overtures should go directly from the Sultan to the Czar, implying that Turkey must occupy the place of a supplicant. The Pusssan papers are indignant that England should under take the office of mediator, and assert that mediation, except at the solicita tion of both belligerents, is intervention Russia's tone to England, judging from Its press, shows little fear of war with that country, which leads to the con clusion the Czar will have an ally in the Kmperor of Germany and possibly the Austrian Kaiser. The warlike r.l: t- 1 iceiiiig r.ngiana is reviving pro found uneasiness prevails, and there is great depression iu trade nd finance It is not an extravagant prediction that mere will be peace between Turkey aud Russia within three months, or Kngland will be engaged in the war. with the possibility Germany and Aus tria will be involved.

It says the occupation of Constantinople or Batoum will be equivalent to a declaration of war. THR REPORT DENIED. A semi official organ, the Agenrt liumf, says the report that England has notified the Powers of her intention to occupy certain stations In the east is incorrect. The English gov- ernment has simply expressed to the Rus sian Cabinet its apprehension that Russian occnpation of Constantinople, though merely proTisonal, would so excite Eng- nsn puouc "'imon that the government would be compelled to take certain pre cautionary treasures.

The 'fence liitxse adds that the British eoverntnent has not specified what the measures would be, but they cannot be those cited by the new Viitesasit would be impossible to take snch measures without a declaration of war. Regarding reports concerning English mediation, the Afence points out, that, according to international law, mediation is only possible when solicited by both Belligerents. Russia, though always ready to listen to any overtures the Porte might address to her, has never done anything to show she had any intention of accepting mediation. THE LAST BRIDGE CARRIED AWAY.

A correspondent of the Standard, tele graphing from Constantinople on Friday via. Syra, says: "I am assured, on good authority, that the Prince of Iieuss is commissioned to arrange an armistice. A sim ilar circulation in London has recently been denied from St.

Petersburg." The Post publishes the following in official form: "We are sorry to gather that there is little prospect of England offers of mediation being accepted at St. Petersburg. Russia seems disposed to rely on the possibility of engaging the Porte in direct negotiations." The Tim Paris correspondent says: 'The exaggerated construction at first placed on the mission undertaken by England, caused some anxiety yesterday, lest she should be drawn into war. Happily, it is known to-night that England simply accepted the mission of sounding Rui-sia as to whether she would accept pacific overtures to be made by Turkey." A Constantinople dispatch says "Austria, in reply to the Turkish circular, reserves the right to intervene on the open icg of peace negotiations as a guaranteeing and frontier power." SOFIA THREATENED. Russians are approaching Sofia and the authorities ordered inhabitants to leave.

Mukhtar Pasha has left Erzeroum. One account states he has been recalled to Constantinople; another that he has taken com mand of a small force in the field with which-he will endeavvr to kep his coui- mnfi'icatioDs oieu.

GERMAN OPINION ON MEDIATION. Beklin, December 29. The Sorth Ger man ftezette says: "If England merely seeks to sound Russia as to her willingness to make peace, and the chances of success of direct application of the Porte to St. Petersbnrg, credit may be awarded Great Britain for her meritorious intention. In an other case: the theory of the Afjenee Hit- that mediation, unless solicited by both belligerents, becomes intervention ay assert itself.

London, Decern btt 29. The Times to day iu a leading article says "The announcement that the Sultan has invited Her Majesty's government to approach the Czar with a view of bringing about negotiations for peace will tend to calm some of the fears which have been exciting the country, and to hold out the hope that the dreadful war may be brought to a close more quickly than by the shock of battle. The Sultan has taken the only course consistent with a calm review of what war has already done and what it must do if it should last much longer. The circular to the Powers showed that the peace party at the Porte had for a time pot the npper band. It proposed terms which would no doubt have been inadmissable even before the war, and which would not bear discus sion after the terrible battles ot the last si months, but the Porte did not intend the circular to be taken as its word.

Kow that all the Powers have courteous lr but firmly declined to approach Russia with the impossible conditions, the Sultan has wisely asked this country to nse its good offices to bring about negotiations for peace. It is important that the govern ment suonia conduct negotiations in a spirit absolutely free from partisanship. We are not parties to the present contest. As mediators, our essential duty is to con vey tne message irotn one power with which we have no quarrel, to another withwhich we have quarrel. We have doubtless great interests stake, political as well as commercial, and they will be urged at the proper mo ment.

But meanwhile it is our duty to act a friendly intermediator and not as rulers of the Indian empire. To take sides ltn one of two Powers which we must brine into contact would simply be to make our mission useless and destroy the pros pect of peace. Our Government will have to ascertain whether Russia is willing to open negotiations and ask what are her conditions of peace. It will then hare to otter Turkey such advice as may seem proper and to present her answer. It may have to reason an earnest spirit with both belligerents order to secure common ground.

It may obliged to nrge the Porte on the one hand be wise in time, and Rnssia, on the other, not demand such terms aa would eoad the Turks to desperate courses, and thus multiply the perils of Europe. While mediator may seem act as an advocate now of one Power and now of the other, ar guments) must be dictated purely by a spirit of conciliation. No donbt the Gov ernment would have to consider the interests of Kugland, but the presentation of them would come In good time, and there not the slightest reason to fear they will neglected." THE LOXDOJf XEWS' VIEW. The Daihf Xew says: "The Ottoman Government declares it desire negotia tions for peace may be brought about on present basis of facts, and, as its pro fessions must be accepted as sincere, the public will wish it success in its new policy. cannot be necessary to point out that even upon the most limited interpretation the office it has assumed, the Queen's Oovernmen has assumed a task of trreat delicacy.

The present war primarily concerns Russia and Turkey, but the Eastern question Is one which must considered by Kurorje. By its present action, our government has taken upon itself the character of an intercessor one unfortunate bellicerent, while acting also officiously for Europe, but it has harmonize this Dew character with declarations which it has repeatedly made, with the whole course of conduct of which the lenst that can be said is that it now prepared the world for the part ltnasnow undertaken to play. On Her Majesty's Ministers may very much de pend whether the Eastern question shall now settled, at least for many years to come, or this war to be followed by a mere truce, the prelude to a war even greater more disaatrous than that of which we now spectators. We are bound to hope tJiey will prove equal to their respon sibilities." A STORM BREWING IN ENGLAND. The war party in this country is momen tarily increasing in influence and In The Russophiles are constantly using their etl'orts toward the organization Liberal associations, and are quite active in passine resolutions in favor of peace, the ARROOANCE OF RCSSIA tuwaid the suffering Turks, and the ex-trems coldness displayed by Germany, are extremely exasperating to the majority of Eoglishmen.

Ibe result is a determined Increase of the war party, and the general expectation at this time is that we shall brought into a WAR WITH RUSSIA in the coming spring. Eighty thou sand native troops and 20,000 English re gulars have already been ordered to be in readiaess to march at short notice from India for Egypt and Turkey. It is be lieved that British troops at Batoum, alliance with the Turks, with money arms to distribute. WOULD RAISE A STORM Which would drive the Russians out of trans-Caucasus, as well as out of Ar menia It is known that for some time stores of provisions and munitions of have been accumulating at Malta, from which point could be easily drawn the supplies needed for the support of an English at Constantinople, or a fleet sent to tin Dardanelles against Russian ships war. The recent appeal of the Porte to the Great Powers, under the Treaty of Paris, having failed because of the fact that Russia's demands turned oat to be of a nature which Turkey thought best to reject, the Sultan has now asked England to act as a mediator bet ween the two belligerents.

Although from the first a part of our people reviled the Turks, and another part inveighed against the Russians, our Government has not committed itself by hostile words or acts against either, and it thought at the Turkish Capital that terms of mediation proposed by England would be acceptable to Russia. Ac cordingly, a note was sent to the Czar, a time since, couched in firm but in respectful tones, but as yet no reply has received to that important document. the meantime certain well defined Brit- interests which have been touched upon the war will be declared by the Qdeen her speech at the opening of Parliament. she will explain the situation as clearly possible, and au ultimatum being neces Lord lieaconsneld will ask the sanc of Parliament to deal with the subject the Ministry may think consistent with safety and honor of the country. is believed here that a verv large ma will vote with him on this view of case.

Meanwniie tne opposition make considerable noise, but they really possess little power. Theirs are but mere moves, and little good will come to pending the settlement of the Eastern question. A3 FOB ENGLAND'S STRENGTH, she is forced into a war, she is in a position to protect her interests and to insist on peace in accordance with right and jus against all tne strength ot that of Russia supported by any other Power. nr-i-UKT THAT ENGLAND WILL OCCUPY CONSTANTINOPLE.

Bill Chandler is not yet through with his secrets he has within him, and which gnaw like a canker-worm, but that. within a few days he will fire off a broadside more spe cific in facts and supplemented with proofs. The fight for plunder has begun in dead earnest, and will be waged henceforward in relentless attacks upon the President. The differences between the President and his partv after all do not seem to arise out of any division of sentiment with respect to statesmanship, but are loud complaints of soreheads, who rail against President Hayes because he does not see fit to dis tribute the plunder in a manner acceptable to party cormorants who claim reward, Wm.

Chandler would not be now float ing in an ambient air had he been sent abroad at public expense in a represents five capacity. Ask nine-tenths of the poli ticians why they disagree with the Presi dent, and half the number, if not more, will reply it is the manner in which he distributes the plunder. With the assembling of Congress, nnless every indication at the present writing is at lauit, THERE WILL BE OPEN WAK DECLARED npon the President; and the breach seems to have reached that point that no single Jonah will now appease the hungry politl cal monster. Demands now made for the restoration of the fullest confident of the party in the President are the thorough reorganization of the Cabinet. President Hayes does not contemplate making any such concessions.

Republican leaders aot as if nothing else would do, and the outlook is that, as Ben Butler puts it, the President must choose between now and February wilh which party he will affiliate. If he falls back upon Democratic support for the maintenance of his policy, even with the Democrats, his lines will not be cast in pleasant places. This, for the reason that they to-night demand plunder as the condition of that support. It is lively now all round, and Democratic statesmen need to be on the lookout that their wily enemies after all do not draw them into a trap with Hayes that they may have occasion to repent for in the sweet bye and bye. A roster of recommendations made by Democrats for office under the President would make mighty interesting reading if collated and given to the public.

JOHN SHERMAN'S LETTER TO ABIJAH MANN of Brooklyn, written in lffK, in regard to the manner in which our bonds should be paid, has created an intense excitement in the East. In that letter he held the bonds to be payable in greenbacks. It was laid before him in New York on Friday, and the following letter shows how now he attempts to crawl out of it. is addressed by Sherman to the editor of the New York HuVetin "The letter referred to was writ ten by me in and hu been printed a thousand times and explained aeofren in debate and else here. The question raised by it was settled by the act of March, 18('9, partly framed by me and so as to cover the point raised in the letter.

I insisted that the first duty of the Government was to resume payment-of the United States notes in coin, before raising any question with the bondholder, but that if the matter was to be decided purely upon the face of the law the argument was altogether in favor of paving certain classes of bonds in L'ni-ted States notes, but the government onght not to avail itself of the privilege while it dishonored its own notes and refused to pay them in coin. Very respectfully, (signeo), John Sherman." It is believed here that Mann's letter was written originally as a decoy, to divert people from the real intention of the writer, who was then Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, It is very plain that it really meant contraction by funding gold-bearing bonds redemption in coin of the entire greenback isaue. Every time this idea is mentioned John Sherman ia found its most earnest supporter. THE CUSTOM HOUSE rIOHT. It is the belief of persons holding close official relations with the President that as soon as Congress reassembles new nominations for Collectors and Naval Officer at New York will be sent to the The President is said to have been strengthened his purpose to make a complete change these oflices by his recent visit to New York.

Persons in the confidence of the President were not, sure, up to the time be went New York, that he would continue the fight with the Senate, but since his return they no longer entertain any doubt on this point, and are entirely satisfied that new nominations will be snbmitred to the Senate before the 15th of January. THE COURT OF CLAIMS VACANCY. The appointments of ex-Representative Halbert E. Paine of Wisconsin, to be Judge the Court of Claims in place of Judge V- Peck, resigned, is said to be fully determined npon. Mr.

Paine was born in Ohio 182fi, and was graduated from the Western Reserve College. He was admitted to the bar in 1848. lie served in the Union army during the war, lost a leg in the last assault upon Port Hudson, and was brevet-ted a major general in 18t5. He was a member of the Thirty-ninth, Fortieth and Forty-first Congresses, and waa a delegate the "Loyalists Convention" in Philadelphia in 1860. Mi.

BLAINE AS AN OFFICE HUNTER. The recent utterances of Mr. Blaine in St. Louis and elsewhere criticising the action the Administration and his course in the Senate in opposition to the President are, say the least, not in very good taste when consideren in connection with his own acts. There are now on file more ap plications for office under President Hayes which Mr.

Blaine's written recommendation is attached than applications indorsed by any pther public man, and Mr. Blaine has personally asked more of the President in the way of office for his friends than has any other member of either bouse Congress. THE WAR ON THE ADMINISTRATION. The Democratic organ here the Itst announces this morning, by authority, that Democrats in the Senate have decided not to sustain Mr. Conkling in the future in any manner or shape whatever, and they have further agreed to confirm all the President's nominations unless there is some specific objection showing that the confirmation will affect the interest of the public service.

They have become fully satisfied that they made a grave mistake in sustaining Conkling against the President in the matter of the New York nominations. It stated that this course is forced upon them by the malevolent designs which Re publican politicians have developed auainst the South, in the hopes of keeping alive sectional bitterness and perpetuating hatred against that section of the Union to further their political ends. PROPOSED CONSTITUTION AMENDMENT. The Democrats in both houses of Congress have been considering for some time previous to the recess the propriety of offeiing resolution, in the shape of an amendment the Constitution, prohibiting the payment of pensions to rebel soldiers, or the payment of any claims for property belonging to rebels lost or destroyed during the late war. It can now be stated that a resolution of this character has been prepared at.d will be offered immediately upon tbe reassembling of Congress.

The object of the resolution is to settle forever these questions, which have been broughi forward in every political contest since the war, and used to the disadvantage of the Democratic party. It is alleged tb-at it will be sustained by the entire Southern vote. A PKOPSED FEMALE CONSTABLE.

It is understood Commissioner liauui has addressed a letter to the Committee of ays and Means recom mending all savings banks to be relieved from taxation.

The Sieason opened A '-Tesi Fight" at vtaue nou, According to a Washington correspond ent, on Thursday, Piatt gave a "tea fight" at the Executive Mansion. The invi tations were simple Miss Piatt's visiting- card sent out with the notice: "Tea at 5 P. Kxecutive Mansion." The White House was lighted up in all its halls and parlors.

Blooming plants and vases of flowers decoratad the lied, Blue, and Green parlors. The East Boom was thrown open for promenading. Hiss Piatt was assisted in receiving by Miss Footeand Miss Mead, a daughter of Mr. Lark in G. Mead, of New York, who is a relative of the President.

Mrs. Hayes went abont among the guests, her bright smile and cheery conversation carrying ease and sociability wherever she moved. The President himself put an appearance for a short time. Like his predecessor, he i verv fond of the society of young ladies, and he seemed to enjoy the change from! snarling politicians to smiling damsels. Three sons of the Presi- lent were the only gentleman in full even ing drees.

The ladies far outnumbered the gentlemen. Mrs. Hayes wore a verv hand some black silk, with a scarf of point lace about her throat feilling to her waist. Her only ornament was a handsome gold neck- ace. Miss Piatt and Miss Foote both wore lark visiting toilets.

Miss Mead over pink silk wore rose-colored cmsee, with six-button pink gloves. Another young lady, who favored tbe company with some fine music and singing, was dressed in white cashmere. AH the other ladies were in visiting dresses and bats. Teas, cakes, and ices were handed about during the reception. There was no dancinir and no music.

except the singing and playing of several yonng ladies. Among those present were three daughters ot Secretary Evarts, two laughters of Secretary Schurx, three daughters of Secretary Thompson, three daughters of Mr. Justice Strong, the daughter of Chief Jost ice Wait and others. The entertainment was a novelty in Wash- nston, for hitherto the dignitv of the White House has not unbent to the trivial- tiee of a 5 o'clock tea, fuc yoang neorilBX Those spacious roosts have rarely before been filled with young people alone. They are usually devoted to rather solemn state entertainments made up of officials, native and foreign, and to mob receptions called levees.

Once only, while Andrew Johnson was Presiden, his grandchildren gave a ball for children in honor of the birthdav of the President. This is remembered still as the most beant.iful of all the many entertainments given in that historic house. As Mrs. Hayes intends always to bare young ladies with her in the White House, it is surmised that the tea of last evening is only the first of a series of similar entertainments to be given during the winter, but this may prove to be merely conject- Seeretary Ft arts ana If I Account or the situation. The gossip over the Cabinet still continues in the absence of anything else to talk about.

Inquiry shows that it has absolutely no foundation. Secretary Evarts stated that he had declined and must still decline to speak with nswspaper men concerning what he deemed to the concoction of their own fwtile imagination in attributing to Secretary Schurz and himself any coldness arising ont of the conduct of either of them towards President Hayes or the policy of the administration. He likewise declined to affirm or discredit the report of an interview between himself and a reporter of a Chicago newspaper. This interview sete forth that Secretary Kvarts has had no personal difficulty with Senator Conkling; that there could be no political differences between them. To quote the words attributed to Secretary Evarta, "We both belong to the same party, though it is claimed by Ben Butler and others that I am a Iemocrat.

Now, my Republicanism is as good as Butler's and is older than Conkling's. I have certainly been as consistent as Butler, and as certainly antedate Conkling. My rigid adherence is due to the Republican party, and I am a Republican in the full sense of the term." Mr. Evarts is reported also to have said that he made no overtures whatever to Mr. Conkling.

Said he: "I never yet have seen the necessity for a reconciliation or for overtures in that direction. Nothing has yet arisen to make any such thing as a reconciliation necessary." He also is reported as having said that he had nothing to conciliate; that the Cabinet was harmonious and perfectly united; that he saw no reason for resigning, and did not contemplate that any contingency had arisen which required his resignation that the relations between the President and the Cabinet, the President and the Republican party and the Cabinet, the President, the Republican party, and the country, were as pleasant as they were when the Cabinet was formed. There is no misunderstanding. Everything is perfectly harmonious" As to the relation existing between himself and his colleagues in the Cabinet Mr. Evarts is reported to have said: "The relations between all the Cabinet officers are the pleasantest.

The Cabinet is at peace. The Republican party is really at peace, and thetountry is at peace. It is only the politicians who are at war, and they will soon cease that when they see that the connt.ry takes too interest in it. This sounds so much like Mr. Evarts that it is believed here to be a private conversation reproduced in print." tf THE ASSArjLT KF.L1.ET.

The Assailant to Have a Year Added to His Term of Imprisonment. Philadelphia, December 29. Judge Pierce to-day gave a decision in the case of John H. Brown, the negro barber, who on Thanksgiving night, while intoxicated, seriously injured a son of Hon. Wm.

I). Kelley. Brown on trial pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two and a half years imprisonment claiming to have been so moch under the influence of liquor as not to be responsible for his actions. The question here was an effort to have the sentence reconsidered, Judge Kelley claiming to have obtained evidence showing Brown to have been a desperate character and that he had previously been guilty of murderous assaults. Judge Pierce affirmed the justice of the previous sentence holding that a sentence affecting the personal liberty of a party was too solemn an adjudication to be supposed to have been made upon light consideration, and that the administration of justice might assume the aspect of vengeance, if in such a case a sentence solemnly imposed upon evidence submitted should be set aside and a greater sentence imposed.

The prisoner, however, had plead guilty of carrying a concealed deadly weapon on which no sentence had been imposed, and he would therefore sen- tence him to one year's imprisonment after the expiration ot his sentence under tne hill of assault, and in addition would hold him in $2,000 bail to keep the peace for one year after the expiration of the sentence for carrying concealed deadly weapons Is The Mayor Dismisses tbe diaries Against Police Comm'ssioners.

WILLIAM WATCHED. The Lyceum Manager Presented with a Handaome Watch and Chain. The management of Bryant's Minstrels did the square thing with Billy Smythe, the. energetic, enterprising and indefatigable manager of the cozy little Lyceum on Saturday evening. An usher was dispatched for the manager while part first of the programme was in performance, and Mr.

Smythe was conducted to the stage when Stage Manager Norrie presented him with a package neatly wrapped. The neat presentation speech was responded to by Mr. Smythe in his inimitable style, and the audience laughed as heartly as at any time during the performance. Hughey Dough erty then suggested that tbe Manager open the package. He did so and displayed a magnificent gold watch and chain.

The ticker is a Raymond movement, with a twelve onnce case. The chain was of mod ern link and solid gold. On the outside of the front case of the watch was the monogram 'W. C. while on the inside was the following inscription: Presented to W.
