The Iowa Republican Convention, which
met in Des Moines, have built a platform
the financial plank of which is the main
tenance of the public credit, the gradual
resumption of specie pavments and the
remonetization of the silver dollar, which
with gold should he made a legal tender.
The convention was very uproarious, and
voted down by a large majority a resolution
endorsing the Southern policy of Mr. Hayes’
administration.
The London Times editorially comments
on the news referring to the infliction of
wanton injury upon the consulates of
friendly powers by the Russian bombard
mer,t of Rustchuk, and says: “If they de
liberately directed their guns against the
consulates and defenceless parts of Rust
chuk, their guilt is surpassed only by their
folly."
Charles Bradlaugh and Mrs. Annie Be-
sant, who were recently tried and convicted
in London for publishing an immoral
pamphlet, have been sentenced each to six
months imprisonment, and a fine of two
hundred pounds, and to enter into bonds for
good behavior for two years.
Two Turkish monitors were caught by
low water in one of the branches of the
Danube near Matchin. The Russians have
demanded a surrender, but no reply had
been made to the demand. The Russians
are anxious to capture these monitors un
injured.
An arrangement has been concluded be
tween Senator Ransom, of North Carolina,
and the Internal Revenue Department, by
which all the cases in North Carolina, for
Violation of internal revenue laws, can be
compromised upon terms satisfactory both
to the government and the parties charged.
Austria has explained her position on the
Eastern war to bo one of decided neutrali
ty. She will not mobilize defensive rein
forcements for her frontier unless the inter
ests of the empire make such a step neces
sary.
In the fight near Delibaba on the 12th
inst. reports reach us that both sides suffer
ed severely, the Russians falling hack the
next morning with heavy 'oss. The Turks
lost four hundred killed and two thousand
wounded.
A special to the News states that Mr. Si
meon Bell, at Munnerlyn on the Augusta
and Savannah Railroad, killed a desperate
negro who who had attacked him with a
knife yesterday morning.
It is reported that a Russian General waB
wounded at Giurgevo and died in the hos-
pitel at Bucharest. Gen. Roth was previ
onsly reported wounded and it is probable
that he is the officer referred to.
The Russian cavalry are spreading out
through the interior of the Dohrudscha, and
aro followed by the infantry, who are mov
ing slowly.
A feud between two brothers-in-law
named Redd and Little at Williamsburg,
Kentucky, resulted in the death of both.
The dispute was about a piece of land.
General Howard proposes to command the
next Indian fight in person, and he is wait
ing on Salmon river for his forces to con
centrate.
The death of Professor John Santini, the
Italian astronomer, is announced at Padua,
as also th at of E. E. Jones, the journalist,
at Nashville, yesterday.
The Grand Duke Nicholas, with the
Eighth Army Corps, crossed the Danube
near Simnitza on Wednesday at daybreak,
driving the Turks from their positions.
Judge T. M. Cooley, of Michigan, is
prominently mentioned for the Circuit
Judgeship made vacant by the death of
Judge Emmons.
The Standard has a special from Bucha
rest which states that the Bulgarians in the
Dohrudscha are arming against the Turks.
Nicopolis has been burned by the bom
bardment.
The authorities of Kustendjo are pre
paring to evacuate the place.
Several of the native North Carolina
llepublican3 have organized a movement
for the displacement of the so-called car
pet-bag officials of that State. They
have had interviews with Mr. Hayes and
the Secretary of the Treasury on the sub
ject, and stated to both that nothing can
be done to help the administration while
carpet-baggers are allowed to remain in
office in tna State. One of these gentle-
men told Hayes that he would lead a suc
cessful Hayes party in North Carolina if
be would turn out every officeholder iu
that State who holds a commission from
Grant. He says that Hayes promised
him that he would do this in a few weeks.
The administration is deeply interested
in the result of the approaching Iowa
State Convention. Secretary MeCrery
has gone home, and it is believed be
will be able to exert a very wholesome
influence upon those delegates who may
be disposed to favor resolves condemning
the administration.
This movement on the part of Secreta
ry McCrary is not exactly in strict accord
ance with Mr. Hayes' recently issued civil
service order. But the case is one of
“political necessity,” and it is not at all
probable that Secretary McCiary will be
removed from office for looking after the
interests of the administration in Iowa.
Mr. George W. Adams, Clerk of the
House of Representatives, has completed
the list of members that he will call to
organize the House at 12 m. October 15.
The Democrats, according to the list, will
have eight majority. There are twelve
contested cases reported, and affidavits
filed. Noither the Democratic or Re
publican member from Colorado will be
placed on the roll. Neither will he place
on the roll either Pacheco or Wigginton,
the California contestants, or Metcalf and
Frcst, the Missouri contestants.
The Nashville American says : “Mr.
William E Chandler, of New Hampshire,
who figured so actively during the crisis
that succeeded the Presidential election,
we are told, is suffering from nervous
prostration brought on by the mental
strain that he then underwent. Our
sympathies for Wm. E. would be stronger
if bis montal energies hadn’t been strain
ed to make a majority out of a minority.
But if his mental organization will stand
as great a strain as his conscience, he will
recover. This is our consolation.”
Mr. Hayes is reported to have said
to friends just before leaving for
Boston that he should make a speedy
example of any Federal officer who ne
glected to conform to the late Executive
order, by removing every man who re •
tained his place in political organizations
of any kind after sufficient time elapsed
for the circulation of the order.
The New York Tribune says: “Amid
Hie crash of his hopes and the rupture of
his machine, it must be a great comfort
to tho bereft office-holder that there is
nothing in the civil service renovation
which forbids him contributing all the
money he wishes for the success of his
party.”
Mr. Huyes’ circular to the officeholders
creates no little excitement in Philadel
phia. There are at least fifty officehold
ers in that city who are prominently con
nected with local political organizations,
not to speak of those who fill places in
National or State organizations.
A pleasant reflection—New York under
takers sell second hand ioe.
Molly Magnirelsm in Pennsylvania.
Notwithstanding the recent hanging of
seven of the murderous clan in Pennsyl
vania known as “Molly Maguires,” the or
ganization stili survives. What was
intended as an example seems to have
had no other effect upon the Mollies and
their sympathizers than to create the
impression that those hung were perse
cuted men who, instead of being re
garded as felons and assassins, are
remembered only as martyrs to the
cause of Molly Maguireism. This
is attested by tbe unusual re
spect shown to their remains. Already
since the hanging, ns has been heretofore
noticed, two men have been killed; two
more, witnesses at the trial, have mysteri
ously disappeared: and so the work of
assassination and terrorism goes on as
vigorously as ever.
That such an association of assassins,
bound together by oaths, having a regular
system of grips and passwords, and or
ganized for the sole purpose of mei bodi
es! murder, should exist anywhere in this
country, is a fonl blct on the boasted
civilization of tbe North. If such an or
ganization was known to exist in the
South, the press of the North would join
in one universal howl against our people,
holding us up to the civilized
world as a community of savage
cut-throats and murderers, and Harper's
Weekly “Journal of Civilization”
would be fairly aglow with pictures of
the most harrowing and blood curdling
character, while Nast would exercise his
ingenuity to the utmost in inventing
etchings illustrative of Southern barbar
ism. The cry for troops would resound
from every quarter, and would be echoed
no more loudly than by the Pennsylvania
papers themselves.
But happily the South is at peace and
quiet reigns within her borders. This
time it is within the limits of a truly
loyal and highly civilized Northern State
that such dark deeds are being commit
ted. There too the civil authorities seem
to be utterly powerless to prevent the
outrages. True, after several years of
unpunished crime, about half a dozen of
the hundreds of criminals have been
brought to justice and made to suffer
the penalties of their misdeeds ;
bat with this achievement all ef
fort to suppress violence and protect
life seems to have been abandoned.
Governor Hartrnnft appears to have
given up in despair all further hopes of
suppressing of the evil. Instead of bend
ing every energy to protect the lives and
guard the property of the citizens of his
State, he is allowing the “Mollies” to
run riot, while he passes his time penning
cablegrams to Gen. Grant, care of Queen
Victoria, and really the last state of tbe
unfortunate inhabitants of the mining
regions of Pennsylvania bids fair to be
worse than the first.
Under these circumstances it is not
clearly the duty of the Chief Executive at
Washington to interfere ? Is it not Gov
ernor Hartranft’s duty to ask for troops
to assist him in putting down riot,
disorder and insurrection in his State ?
During the alleged Ku-Klux days in
the South that course was pursued
under pretext of giving protection to our
citizens. Surely the people of Pennsyl
vania are as much entitled to protection
now as the people of this section were
then. Ku-Kluxism no longer exists in
the South, neither should Molly Maguire
ism be permitted to flourish in the North.
New Hampshire Radicals cannot make
up their minds to endorse Mr. Hayes’
Southern policy of withdrawing troops
from Louisiana and South Carolina. A
resolution to that effect, recently offered
in the State Legislature, was, after pro
longed discussion, not passed, but, by a
strict party vote,referred to the Commit
tee on National Affairs, where it will
probably rest. This is very unkind in
the New Hampshire Legislature, especi
ally since Mr. Hayes, if he had kept
United States soldiers in those Slates so
that he might interfere with their do
mestic affairs, would not only have
clearly violated the United States Con
stitution, but would have bade bold de
fiance to the will of the people as ex
pressed by them at the polls in Novem
ber last. But what else could be ex
pected from a party which has been so
long controlled by fanaticism, narrow
minded bigotry, and sectional malignity,
to the exclusion of every consideration of
either constitutional right, public opinion,
or manifest justice?
Specie Accumulating.—It is estimated
by a competent Treasury authority that
the total amount of gold and silver in the
United States at this time is $225,000,-
000. The increase during the fiscal year
ending June 30th is supposed to have
been not les3 than $45,000,000. The im
ports of gold and silver coin and bullion
have about equalled the exports, and as
the balance of trade is becoming more
and more pronounced in favor of the
United States, it is believed that the ac
cumulation of specie in this country will
continue during the ensuing year at a
more rapid rata than heretofore, so that
when the time fixed for resumption comes
around there will be an abundance of the
precious metals available. Dr. Linder-
man, the Director of the Mint, expects to
spend some time in California and Nevada
during the summer investigating tbe
capacity of the principal gold and silver
mines, in order to determine upon the
supply of the precious metals which the
government can count upon for coinage
purposes.
The Boston Traveller, irreconcilable
Republican, takes delight in the pickle in
which Hayes and his advisers have got
the Ohio Republicans. In the course of
some comments upon the situation it
says: “AH we know about it is that there
is a terrible burly burly out that way in
politics, and tbe President and Secretary
Suerman, not to mention the inevitable
Mcpbistopheles Matthews, are alarmed
lost their State should ‘go back on them,’
and we are in duty bound to be sad about
it.” Speaking with bitter sarcasm it
consoles itself “with the reflection that
this is an off year in politics, and if the
Democrats should carry that State in the
fall it will not be from any Republican
dissatisfaction with Ohio statesmanship
or the peliey, but because the thrifty
farmers find it more profitable to stay at
home on election day and study up the
various poisons for the next year’s crop
of canker worms and potato bugs.”
It will be remembered that last fall a
meeting called by distinguished men of
all parts ot the Union was held in Phila
delphia for the purpose of carrying into
effect the wish of Gen. Washington to
make Washington and Lee University at
Lexington a great institution to which
should resort young men from ail parts of
the country. Gen. R. D. Lilley was
authorized to proceed at once in obtain
ing contributions, and be has canvassed
the South with great success. He is now
canvassing the North, and the Boston
Post expresses the hope that he will
meet with the welcomo and assistance
that his cause deserves.
Feveb in Milk.—A London dispatch
states that one hundred and seventeen
persons have been poisoned in that city
with scarlet fever tainted milk.
Rotten Boron gli States.
One of the prominent characteristics
which has marked the course of the Re
publican party since it came into power,
is the inclination manifested by it to ad
mit into the Union a class of States
known as “Rotten Boroughs”—that is,
territories sparsely settled, and with no
immediate prospect of attaining’a popu
lation which will ever enable them to
take rank with older and more densely
inhabited members of the Union. Ne
vada and Colorado are notable instances
of such States. They are, neither of
them, entitled to more than one repre
sentative in Congress, and, we notice
from an exchange, that a gentleman
who has lately traveled throughout the
Northwest, asserts as his belief that
these two States, together with the whole
region embraced by the territories of
Wyoming, Dakota, Montana, Idaho,
Utah, New Mexico and Washington will
never attain, or be able to support, a
populal ion of more than 1,400,000, which
is very little more than the population of
the State of Georgia alone. This, gen
tleman gives good reasons, too, for his be
lief. He Dises it on the scarcity of fer
tile lands, tbe difficulty of obtaining
water, and the presence of uninhabitable
mountain ranges and arid deserts
in that section. He, therefore,
thinks that each of these subdivisions of
tbe country can never, at best, maintain
a population entitling it to more than a
single Representative.
But, according to the United States
Constitution, every State, as soon as it is
admitted into the Union, is entitled to
two Senators, and herein lies the secret
of Radical anxiety to receive into the
family of States so many of these Rotten
Boroughs. That party saw its strength
waning rapidly in the higher House of
Congress. As States became thickiy
settled and the ideas of their people be
came expanded, Radicalism began to lose
ground, and it was to fill up the deficien
cies constantly occurring in their ranks,
and, if possible, bold on to their majority
in that body, that Radical Congresses
determined to admit, as States, as
many of the Territories as possible. It
was reasoned that since the administra
tion had full control of official appoint
ments in these Territories,from Governor
down, it could certainly so use its power
as to make sure of a Legislature whoso
views would aeoord with its own, and
therefore for every Territory so admitted
two United States Senators of Radical
tendencies would be secured. Hence it
was that Colorado was admitted by the
Forty-third Congress, and hence it was,
also, that said Congress even tried, at the
same time, to admit the wild, semi-bar
barous and very sparsely inhabited Ter
ritory of New Mexico.
Under Democratic auspices it is to be
hoped that this evil will cease. It is bet
ter in every way that Territories shall re
main Territories until they can come into
the Union on something like equality with
other States. It is manifestly unjust that
a whole region comprised of the two States
and seven Territories we have mentioned,
while having no greater representation in
the lower House than has the single State
of Georgia itself, should have in the
United States Senate eighteen Senators,
while Georgia has bat two. No such un
worthy motive as has heretofore influ
enced the Radicals in their course in this
respect should govern the Democratic
party while it wields power in the
country.
A man claiming to possess information
cf interest and great value to the cele
brated Tichborne claimant in England has
turned up in the person of a convict in
the California penitentiary named Perry.
He says that he was second mate and
carpenter of the three-masted schooner
Osprey which sailed from New York for
San Francisco, in February, 1854; that
some time in April or May following,
they picked up five men off the coast of
Brazil, one of whom was an over
grown boy of about twenty years
of age, who was known as
“Tick,” who spoke English with
foreign accent, and who said that his
father was a Lord, and that he had been
traveling in South America for his health.
The Osprey subsequently went to
Australia, and it is supposed “Tick”
went with her. Her Captain’s name was
Owen. All this agrees, in tho main,
with the claimant’s story, and the man,
Perry, is represented as being truthful.
He is said to have got into the peniten
tiary more through misfortune and
whisky,than through positive dishonesty.
A Tribute to Gen. Joseph E. John
ston.—At Richmond (Va.; College, on
Thursday night, General Joseph E. John
ston presented the steel modal to Manly
B. Curry and made a very happy little
speech. Captain John S. Wise then
came forward bearing a beautiful collec
tion of ma^oiias surrounded by green
leaves, and, addressing General Johnston,
said : “I am requested by a few of your
friends—a thousand or more, and still a
very few as compared with the whole
number of those who love and honor you
—to present you with this tribute of their
esteem, which in detail and grouping is
but the type of the purity' of character
which have marked the particular acts
and the entire career that have endeared
you to our people and made both laurels
and bays no stranger to your brow.”
The audience here rose to their feet and
loudly applauded and cheered General
Johnston, as he gracefully bowed his ae
knowledgments. The applause broke out
afresh as the band struck up “Dixie.”
Impboved Painting Pbesses.— The
Cleveland Leader announces that it has
set up in its office “a novel and improved
printing machine,” the first of the kind
ever constructed. It is a machine which
will print both sides of the sheet at once,
with the top of the pages cut so as to
open like the leaves of a book, the inside
sheet pasted in its place and delivered
from the press folded, all automatically,
in one operation, at the rate of ten thou
sand an hour, equal to twenty thousand
an hour under tbe old system of printing
one side at a time. This wonderful press
is the invention of Mr: Andrew Campbell,
the head of the Campbell Printing Press
and Manufacturing Company of New
York city, a gentleman who has indi
vidually and alone probably done more to
improve printifag machinery than any
man who has ever lived.
A prominent Kentucky gentleman pro
poses to donate a farm near Greenville,
valued at twenty thousand dollars, as a
home for disabled and indigent ministers,
while several denominations are expected
to bring the endowment up to one hun
dred'thousand dollars. There ought to
be some provision for those who have
spent their lives in faithful servioe on
meagre pay, and this is a good begin
ning.
It has become apparent that the esti
mates of the Secretary of the Treasury
of the income for the current year will
be fully realized. The receipts from cus
toms revenue will be about up to the esti •
mates, while those on internal revenue
will fall below the estimates possibly four
millions. The receipts from other sources
have, however, been unexpectedly large,
and will make up the deficiency.
The War In Europe.
Step by step, says the Boston Post, tho
several European powers are coming into
the war arena, and the circle is steadily
widening so as to embrace them all. Tho
air is full of rumors, all going to confirm
the above assertion. Austria is arming
as a precautionary movement, and has
posted twenty-five thousand men on
tbe Servian frontier, ready to oross
when the Russians cross the Dan
ube. There is'tbe reported discovery of
a plot to destroy the Suez canal by blow
ing up its banks with glycerine, and Eng
land is to take advantage of the dis
covery to post an army of twenty
thousand men m Egypt for its
protection. A third of the force is to
be Moslems from tbe Bengal army. An
English protectorate over Egypt is one
of tbe probabilities. There is a story
that an extraordinary appropriation of
ten million pounds will be voted by Par
liament at its coming session for military
exigencies. A treaty of offense and de
fense is said to exist between Germany
and Austria. The order for the mobiliza
tion of the troops of the latter causes in
tense excitement in Vienna. Russia now
proposes the temporary occupation of
Constantinople, to be evacuated when
Turkey pays her indemnity and
gives satisfactory assurances of re
form. But, on tho other hand.
England refuses to consider anything
which cripples the Turkish power in the
Black Sea. Italy is already in alliance
with Germany, while France is under
strict espionage. Thus it will be seen
that Europe may become the theatre of a
general war before this Turkish issue is
over. The tendency of the different
powers to drift towards it as to a whirl
pool is too plain to be overlooked. This
very slowness of the general motion
ominous. It is not a question of bound-
ary as in most wars, but of rights, of pre
judices and of passions. If we are saga
cious, we shall not fail to take full advan-
tage of our coming opportunity commer
cially.
Stanley Matthews’ recent triumph in
securing the appointment of Fehren
batch, a Cleveland man, as Supervising
Inspector for the Cincinnati district, has
drawn out a scathing piece of sarcasm
from General Boynton, the Washington
correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette.
The General gives a supposed examina
tion of Fehrenbatch before a civil ser
vice board. One of the questions is the
following: “Do you reside in the Seventh
Steamboat District ?” The answer is as
follows: “No. But there was no suit
able office to give me in that (tbe
Cleveland) district. The Collectorship
had already been disposed of to
man who also helped elect Mr. Stanley
Matthews United States Senator, and the
Inspector at Buffalo wouldn’t give way.
Fehrenbatch is a State Senator in the
Ohio Legislature, and voted for Stanley
Matthews for Senator. General Boynton,
assuming that a percentage of seventy is
necessary to appointment upon a civil
service examination, give3 the following
summary of what would be the result of
Fehrenbatch’s examination:
Voting for Stanley Matthews
Standing as a labor reformer
Morality
Honesty
standing as a cooper
Knowledge of river steamboats
Knowledge of other kinds of boats
Average fitness for Supervising Inspector. 7
Indorsement “Appoint ”
It is stated on good authority that the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has at last
succeeded in negotiating a five million
loan abroad. The loan is said to be for
the pui pose of paying off the company’s
floating debt, incurred in building the
Chicago extension.

An
THE HORRORS OF WAR.
Episode In the Uu.so-Turkisli Cam
paign of 1811.
In 1811 the opposing Russian and
Turkish armies stood facing each other
on opposite banks of tife Danube. During
the night between tbe 8th and 9-h of
September tbe Turks succeeded by mak
ing a feint, and so attracting the Rus
sians to a spot some three miles below
the real point of passage, in throwing a
force of two thousand men and four guns
across the river, a short distance above
Giurgevo. The first attempt of the Rus
sians to drive the small body back into
the river was successfully withstood;
reinforcements were rapidly brought over
from the right to the left bnak, until
finally thirty thousand men and fifty
guns were assembled on the northern
snore. Every effort to advance further
and drivo back the Russian army, which
had fallen back into an intrenched posi
tion, was, however, repulsed; the Turks
themselves being obliged after a time to
construct iulreuchments, to withstand
the counter attacks directed against
them.
Unable to drive back the invading force,
the Russians desisted from any further
active measures against it, but, bringing
a strong flotilla of gunboats up the
Danube, to prevent supplies being carried
across the river into the Turkish camp on
the left bank, they quietly waited events.
The. provisions of the Turkish force,
thus completely isolated, unable to ad
vance because of the Russian force in
front of it, unable to retreat because of
the flotilla which effectually prevented
any bridge being thrown across the river,
soon began to run short. The weather
became cold; but there was no fuel with
which to kindle a fire.
Under these circumstances the suffer
ings of the men were very great. For
some time there was horseflesh, but it
had to be oaten raw. as even the tent-
poles had been cut up and burned.
Hundreds died daily, and their comrades
had not the strength to bury them. Dis
ease was consequently soon added to
famine, so that wnen finally, on the 8th
of Decombor, peace was concluded, but
4,000 men, who are described as being
but living skeletons with scarce sufficient
strength to stand upright, were left out
of the 30,000 who three months before
had crossed the river.
Mayfair has a mo3t excellent story
about the manager of an aquarium. His
wife induced him to go to church, whore
he fell.asleep. The minister was reading
the first lesson of the day, which hap
pened to be the first chapter of the Book
of Ezekiel. As he proceeded in tho
description of tho wonderful beast which
the prophet saw in the laud of the Chal
deans, by the river Cbebar, the r.qnariam
manager moved uneasily in his seat.
Every one had four faces, antf every one
had four wings.” The aquarium manager
rubbed his eyes, and the preacher went
on: “And they had the hands of a man
under their wings on their four Bides,
and they four had their faces and their
wings.” The aquarium manager was now
wide awake. “As for the likeness of
their faces, they four had the face of a
man and the face of a lion on the right
side, and they four had the face of an ox
on the left side. They four also had the
face of an eagle.” The aquarium manager
was now standing up, nis wife vainly
pulling at his coat tails. “Name jour
own price,” he cried; “I will take the
thing.”
A family of children who had been
brought up in poverty and ignorance in
the interior of Wisconsin, were brought
to Milwaukee a few days ago. As it hap
pened none of them had ever seen a
picture, and when a chromo of a cat was
Bhown to them on the wall they rushed to
it and endeavored to take the animal in
their arms.
THE TROOPA OF THE CZAR.
Tbe Enpenr and Suite Riding Up and
Down a Ldoeaf 75,000 Men,
Count Moltke writes:
The Russian peasants are extremely
good-natured and peaceable. One never
sees tbe people fighting or wrestling.
They have no ball fights or cock fights.
But their feeling for their superiors
makes them, much against their inclina
tion, the most obedient and devoted of
soldiers. During the flood in St. Peters
burg sentries were drowned because they
had not been discharged from their posts.
As the Winter Palace was burning, a
priest rescued the sacred vessels from the
chapel. In the corridor he found a
sentinel, and told him the danger of re
maining longer at his post. “Prikass!”
(orders) said the man; received absolu
tion, and was burnt.
The Emperor rode down the whole
front of the camp, one (German) mile
and a half. The soldiers—seventy-f mr
battalions of eight hundred men—about
sixty thousand in all, nnmixed, old,
bearded, dark brown faces, stood, with
out arms, with caps uplifted. I will say
nothing of the deafening “hurrahs,”
which lasted for two hours, except that
one might see in these bearded faces with
what joy they greeted their Czar.
The Emperor spoke to several of them,
and they answered their “btuschka”
(their father) without any embarrassment.
The troops were drawn up in six lines,
and the Emperor rode with his enormous
suite along the whole front. At the
march past there were seventy-five thou
sand men—iLfantry, cavalry and artillery
—the guard corps and one division of the
grenadier corps. If these troops had
been set out in line they would have cov
ered a (German) mile in length. * *
I could not have believed it possible that,
after their long marches, the troops could
have turned out in such perfect order.
We rode into the camp of the infantry
and foot artillery, a town of fifty thous
and inhabitants, under canvas, with
broad, regular streets, on a treeless plain.
It is well suited for its purpose. Four
teen of these military monks sleep in one
cell: they lie on wooden beds, with a lit
tle straw, and cover themselves with their
long gray cloaks. The knapsack is their
pillow, and their arms stand in the middle
of the tent, which is surrounded by a lit
tie wall of earth. * * * * The food
was very good; each man has three
pounds of good black bread a day, baked
by the companies themselves, and a half
a pound of meat. Saurkraut soud and
buokwheat groats are their favorite luxu
ries. Dinner is eaten in the open air in
companies, planks being used for forms
and tables, weather not being taken into
consideration. When asked, the men
answered loudly and all together, like a

Waynesboro, Ga., June 28.—A difficulty
occurred this morning at Munnerlyn, on the
Augusta and Savannah Railroad. Mr.

Va!c of the Sweet Waters.
[From the San Francisco Chronicle J
It is a long drive from Pera over the
dusty hills to the vale of the Sweet.
Waters; but on Friday afternoons the
road is lined with carriages, and the
groves on the banks of that pretty stream,
the waters of which are worthily called
sweet, resound to the music of many a
mandolin and the gay laughter of women.
As we drove into the mouth of tho valley
our road wound under luxurious boughs
dense with black shadows; on one hand
a narrow stream flowed noiselessly; one
shore was a bed of moss, the other a
wilderness of foliage, through which even
the birds might find it difficult to pass.
White swans sailed up and down the
stream; yellow leaves floated upon it; its
waters were so clear and tranquil tnat they
seemed, even in the shadow, like a deep
river of amber. Handsome broughams,
drawn by fine horses and driven by
English coachmen, were wheeling np and
down tbe avenue; the eunuchs that ac
cimpanied them cast now and then a
watchful eye upon the Circassian and
Georgian houris within, whose dazzling
beauty was only heightened by their
masks of snow white lace that half con
cealed their features. Deep iu the valley
there is a summer palace of the Sultau.
You see it in the midst of velvet lawns,
among cypresses and mimosas and foun
tains—a cage of white and gold, such as
might house the birds of paradise. The
stream broadens below tbe summer pal
ace; the groves scatter themselves over
the meadows on either side; a thousand
caiques are in the water, crowding their
way up and down between the shore?,
loaded with pleasure seekers. On the
shore were multitudes of women wrapped
in silks and satins of the brightest colors,
and seated upon rich Persian car
pets spread under tho trees. These
women were generally in groups of
three or more, and were attended by
Nubian slaves, who also wore the yash
mak upon their faces, though they were as
black as ebony. Bands of singers, dancers,
instrumentalists, magicians, snake-
charmers and story-tellers wander up
and down tho shore plying their trades
and making the valley resound with the
confusion of Babel. Iu every group the
nargileh sent up its fragrant incense, and
half the world seemed to be feeding upon
honeyed fruits and drinking sherbet or
raki. Doubtless this latter liquor flowed
freely, for the tumult increased as the
afternoon waned, and the dancers, who
danced never so wildly, were in frequent
demand. There wore tents pitched in
the smaller groves, and from these more
reserved circles came gushing laughter
and the click of glasses and the pretty
patter of applauding kids. The harem
does enjoy itself on a Friday, even though
that black giant of a eunuch is seated
without the curtains of the tent. Your
practical Mahometan comes here to in
dulge his eyes with a vision of the joys
to come; for are there not promised him
who is faithful a river aud the flower of
womanhood together with meat and
drink ? Alas ! we of the Western world
must content ourselves with a glimpse of
these things, such as tho lost Peri had at
the gates of Eden!

Doath in India from Tigers, Snakes
and Things.
[From the London Telegraph.]
Returns have reached us from
India showing the numbers killed
iu the year 1875 by wlid
beasts and snake-bites. It seems that
between the 31st of December, 1874, and
the 1st of January, 187G, in our Indian
empire, no fewer than 21,391 persons and
48,234 head of cattle perished from ttuse
causes. Such was the war of savage na
ture against man. On the other hand,
there were destroyed 22,357 wild animals
of all kinds, and 270,185 snakes, at a cost
to the government of 120,015 rupees; or,
without taking into account the deprecia
tion in the value of silver, something like
£12,000. We are further told that the
losses have been to a great extent tabula
ted, and that, from tbe returns, which
have been sent in, it has been found that
elephants have killed til human beings
and G cattle; tigers respectively 828 and
12,423; leopard?, 187 and 1G,157; bears,
84 and 529; wolves, 1,060 and
9,407; hyenas, G8 and 2,116; while to
other animals” are ascribed the totals
of 1,446 and 4,401. These other
animals aro not described with any
minuteness, and we are consequently left
to conjecture for ourselves what they are,
and how they may have inflicted the mis*
chief laid to their charge. The Indian
buffalo when roused is a very dangerous
antagonist; even the pacific Brahmany
bull will occasionally knock down and
trample upon a child; the wild goat or
markhor of the Himalayas is an ugly
customer to face, aud apt to prove sud
denly pugnacious and dangerous; the
mongoose itself has been known, like the
English ferret, to attack children; and
hardly a season passes bat beaters are
killed or eeriously wounded in the course
of tbe day’s pig sticking. It is, indeed,
somewhat remarkable that, complete as
the returns otherwise are, the number of
deaths due to “horn of hart and tusk of
boar” are not distinctly recorded among
them. At the same time it mast be no
ticed that eighty-four deaths are scored
to the credit of the bear. The great ma
jority of these victims were most likely
native shikarries, or herdsmen, venturing
near the haunts cf the “anchorite of the
forest.”
What the People Want.—A Boston
editor says the restoration of the old
Federal dollar means paying a thousand
dollar debt with nine hundred dollars.
But, on the other hand, the act of 1873
obliged every man who owed nine hun
dred dollars to pay one thousand dollars.
The people are willing to pay the old
debt, but want the old dollar in which
the debt was contracted to do it with.
That is all.—Hew York Graphic.
It is easy enough to live within a mode

vokes the difficulty encountered.
London, June 28.—The affair of the 21st,
near Delibaba, was very severe. The Bus
sians fell back the following morning with
heavy loss. The Turks lost four hundred
killed and two thousand wounded.
A dispatch from Kustcndje Wednesday,
says the Russian cavalry are spreading over
the interior of Dohrudscha, bat the infantry
follows slowly. The authorities at Kus-
tendje are preparing to evacuate.
The Times' Bucharest special reports a
Russian General wounded at Giurgevo, who
died iu tho hospital at Bucharest. General
Roth was previously reported wounded.
Two Turkish monitors caught by low
water in one of tbe branches of the Danube,
near Matchin, have been snmmoned by tbe
Russians to surrender, bat at latest acconnts
no reply bad been made to tbe demand.
The Russians are very anxious to capture
these monitors uninjured.
London, June 28.—The Times in its lead
ing article says; “NeutralStates are painfully
interested by reports that the Russians have
been violating the laws of war by the inflic
tion of wanton injury. If they deliberately
directed their gnns against the consulates
and defenceless parts ot Rustchuk, their
guilt is surpassed only by their folly, and
that felly would bo all tho more glaring, be
cause if as reported they continued to fire
on the English consulate after the Consul
hoisted tbe American flag, they would have
gone out of their way to assail a power pecu
liarly friendly to themselves. It is difficult
to believe the Russians would have deliber
ately inflicted such an outrage, and it is well
to remember that similar charges invariably
accompany every bombardment.”
Buchabest, Jane 28.—Tbe Grand Dnko
Nicholas, at tbe head of tbe eighth army
corps, crossed the Danube near Simnitza
yesterday at daybreak, driving the Turks
from their positions. The boats, filled with
troops, continued to cross the river all yes
terday. A Russian official account, yester
day, says the engagement with the Turks
is still proceeding.

London, Jnne 23.—Reuter's has re
ceived the following from Erzeroum, June
26: “Tbe Russian column, fifteen thousand
strong, arrived before Khorassau in rear of
tbe Turkish centres. Captain Mehemed,
with a brigade, has occupied Kupriko, to
the west of Kharasson. Nino hundred and
eighty wagons, with ammunition, have been
seat to Houhktar Pasha’s camp.”
The Globe says it hears that Russia ht.s
given Mr. Whitehead, the torpedo inventor,
an order for one hundred fish torpedoes, to
be dispatched to tbe Black Sea and the Dan
ube. The Russian Government is resolved
if possible to destroy or drive away all the
Turkish monitors in or near the mouths of
the Danube, and then assume tbe offensive
with the iron-clads they have at Nicolaieff
aud some torpedo vessels now constructing
at 8t. Petersburg.
The second edition of the Daily Telegraph
has a Rustchuk dispatch, dated midnight
l&Bt night, which says the Russians are
crossing the Danube near Sistova, not far
from Yantra, assisted by the islands lying
between tbe banks. Terrible fighting is
now going on. The Turks are doing their
utmost to resist the enemy. Another cross
ing is confidently expected at Emnnda, op
posite Nicopolis. The bombardment of
liustebnk continues.

During the past six weeks Senator Ran
som, of North Carolina, has been appealing
to the President and Secretary of the Treas
ury for an amnesty for all bis people charged
with violating the internal revenae laws.
The Senator has been in the city for the
past two days on this matter, and it is said
he has concluded an arrangement with tbe
Internal Revenue Department by which all
cases in North Carolina can be compromised
with tbe government under certain restric-
tious. Tbe terms are understood to be
satisfactory to General Leach, John N.
Staples and Thomas B. Leach, who are
attorneys for the whieky and tobacco men
of North Carolina. The terms will be
made known as soon as formal arrange
ments are completed with the attorneys.

The recent letting of postal route con
tracts will be the occasion of some discon
tent in the South, because the inadequacy of
appropriations prevents the establishment
of new routes or the prolongation of old
ones. Tbe new route from Mobile via Pen
sacola to Cedar Keys and tbe west coast of
Florida, recommended by the Alabama and
Florida delegations in Congress, is among
this number, and no regular contract for tbe
transportation of mails over it will be let.
Bids were made for service npon it by par
ties iu Mobile, bat they have been shelved.
It appears that Secretary Evarts has
been silent during the entire progress of

Washington, June 28.—The action of tbe
De,Moines, Iowa, convention, being tho
first State convention, has been watched.
The financial planks aro as follows: Fourth.
The public credit should bo sacredly main
tained, and all obligations of the govern
ment honestly discharge!, and that we
favor the early attainment of a currency
convertible with coin, and therefore advo
cate a gradual resumption of spucie pay
ments by continnons and steady steps.
Fifth. The silver dollar having been a legal
unit of value from tho foundation of the
Federal Government until 1873, the law
under which its coinage was suspended
should be repealed at tho earliest pos6i’olo
day, and silver made, with gold, a legal ten
der for the payment of all debtB, both pub
lic and private. We also believe that the
present volume of the currency should be
maintained until the wants of trade and
commerce demand its farther contraction.
At the conclusion of tbe reading, a resolu
tion indorsing the President and his policy
was offered by Mr. Bealey, as an amend
ment to the first resolution. This cre
ated indescribable uproar, and was
received with tumult, iu which were min
gled vociterous protests and hisses. The
Chair ruled the resolution as not being ger-
maine to the subject. An amendment en
dorsing the policy and securing tbe results
asked for in the third resolution of the re
port of the committee was then offered to
that resolution, and with the sam3 result.
The third resolntioD, as presented by the
committee, was then adopted. Arter this
all the rest of the resolutions of tho commit
tee were adopted. Mr. Cntts offered the
following resolution:
'Resolved, That the so-oalied Southern
policy which has been inaugurated and pur
sued by the present national administration
is in accord wi th the principles of the Re
publican party.”
This was received amid a general tumult.

the powei to take Buch measures as the pro
tection of its immediate interests on the
