T H E WEPNKSUAT. DECEMBER 2 6 , IS77. V A l DYKE HUNCr. V a n Dyke was kung at Canton, St, Lawrence county. F riday, for shooting his wife in July last, at Ogdensbarg. H e is 19 years old. H is wife was the same age, and they had been mapriod butaw e ek. V anD jkeclaim sthattTno Claffy, a farmer, had seduced the girl and gave him 825 to marry her. H e swore different on the trial. H e was born at Medina, where his father lives with his mother’s sister, and his moth er is living with another man. Van Dyke says he is innocent, and did not know the gun which he pointed a t his wife was loaded. H e witnessed the — The Eussians will probably at tack Erzsroum soon, - The Servians have been defeated with great loss at Yatre, which place they attempted to c arry by assault. . — On his return to St. Petersburg the Czar received one of the most fran tically enthusiastic receptions ever ex tended to a monarch. H e will return to the field in a month,.and declares that he will [march through to Con stantinople as the Germans did to Paris. — The, Roumanians will not cross the Balkans, b u t perform garrison du ty in Bulgaria. CO2SKLIH0 AND 0ORDON. The following account of the quar rel between Senators Conkling and Gordon, in executive session, was crowded out last week; “ Senator Gordon was anxious to bring before the Senate a report upon the nomination of one Smith as Col lector a t Mobile. A favorable report was ordered by the Committee on Commerce, and it was in the bands of Senator Spencer, o f A labama, who has held it back, Gordon interrupted the calendar to call for the report, and did it rather aggressively. Spen cer said nuthing, and Conkling, look ing up frona his writing, said: ‘ Ob, erectio” of the scaffold and displayed] go on with the calendar,’ as several.. the utmost indifference. H e did not sleep the night befpre the execution, but spent the time in singing comic songs, dancing clog dances and smok ing, H e told the sheriff he wanted to be hung at 11, so as to be in hell for dinner. H e is a graduate o f the Roch ester House of Refuge, and at one time was a tumbler in Robinson’s cir cus, Recently, when two clergymen left him, he turned a couple of som ersaults and cried after them, “ W h a t do you soy?” TEE GOVERNOR’S RESIDSNCE. The last legislature designated Gov ernor Robinson, Senator Robertson and Speaker Sloan to select and pur chase a residence to be occupied here after by the Governor of the State. Xjast summer twenty or thirty pieces of property, located in Various parts of Albany, were offered to them at prices ranging from twenty to sixty thousand dollars. After due delibera tion they, last week,, a rrived at the same choice, giving preference to the property of M r. Robert Johnson, the present residence of Governor Robin son, and on Saturday an agreement was entered into with the owner, where by the State has secured the property —dwellings, grounds and furniture- for forty-five thousand dollars. The Albany Argus pronounces it a very good bargain for the State. other Republicans also did. “ Gordon, somewhat excited and a little hot-headed, said, in substance: ‘ I trust the Senate will manage its own business, and not regard the or ders of the Senator from Hew York to the Vice-President.’ Reports differ as to what ensued. Conkling was either engaged in con versation and failed to notice the re mark until a Senator behind him touched him and drew his attention to it. H e rose promptly on his feet, at all events, and in one of those pe culiar sentences in whose construction and use he is an adept, said, in sub stance : “ I f the Senator from Georgia said that the Senator from Hew York was ordering the Vice-President proceed with the business of ate, the Senator from Gee w h a t is u n t r u e . ’ ’ I trust,’ said Gordon, repeating in substance bis previous remark, * that the Senate will manage its own business, and According to a cable despatch the number of T urks captured a t Plev na does not exceed 30,000. The Rus sian authorities in Bucharest hnd St. Petersburg who have placed the fig ures a t twice the. number guessed a t their estimate. Osman Pasha’s force never greatly exceeded 50,000 men, and it is not unreasonable to suppose that 20,000 fell victims to b attle, hun ger, and disease. The Russians and Roumanians must have lost during the siege fully as many men as they captured. In the W atertown charter elec tion last Wednesday the Democrats elected their whole city ticket except Overseer of the Poor. Mr. Streeter, for Mayor, has 30 m ajority; Mr. Ph’elps, Chamberlain, 11 m ajority; M r.Bord- well, Assessor, 27 m ajority; Mr. Ains worth, Recorder, unanimous. A ll of these are Democrats. The Republi cans elected Mr. W ood Overseer of the Poor by 80 majority. The President says i f Conkling will call and see him he will overlook their little unpleasantness, Tbere’f^ conciliation for y o u ! H e thinks, how ever, that for the good of the country the custom house in Hew York ought to be placed under different manage ment. H e will make new nominations to congress, after the holiday recess, of men to take the place o f A rthur and Cornell. \ The Murphy[temperance move ment is still flourishing g randly in the central and western counties of the State. In seyeral instances sheriffs and constables report that the number of arrests has greatly fallen off since 'this movement has been in progress; and poormasters slate t h a t calls for help from the town are noticeably de creasing. The court of inquiry into the Huron disaster has rendered its opin- ioa, holding Commander Ryan pri m arily responsible for the calamity, and stating that alack of seamanship was manifested on the vessel. Several other officers, the court thinks, com mitted errors. In the ease of The People vs. T. S. Lambert, president o f the Amer ican P o p u lar Life Insurance company, for swearing to a false report o f the company’s affairs, the jury brought in a verdict of g uilty. On motion o f the prisoner’s counsel the ease was ad journed to to-day, (W ednesday), when a motion for a new trial will be made, i^ ^ T h e Turkish Legislature or, Porte, beseeches other powers to inter fere a n d 'p n t an* end to the war.

Says a W ashington dispatch of the 14th; - “ The nomination of. L. B. MeLin, of the notorious Fiorida returning board, to be Judge of the Territorial Court of Hew Mexico, was 'ected — ' ' rej by the Senate without debate or a divis ion. This is the first one of the Re turning Board appointments which has been considered, and both parties seem to b e quite unanimous thus far a g a i^ t them.” One good sign of an improved state of affairs a t Washington. 1®“ Ben Butler believes that the sil ver bill will become a law within six ty days.

A ll the disputants were native citizens o f Texas. A battle occurred between troops and Indians near Janos, Arizo na, in whibh the former were beaten, losing twentj^even killed and several wounded.
