The following is found in this morn

To the Kditor of the New York Herald:
Will yon be kind enough to oorreot the
statements in the Washington letter to
the Herald, of the first instant, relating
to me'/ I oan't imagine who started sneh
a report. I do not propose to dodge any
thing. I have, for months, said
I would support Mr. Hayes’ Ad
ministration by my votes in the
Senate and still intend to do so. Between
the President and myself there is, as far
as I known, the kindest feelings. When
Gen. Butler was eleoted Senator last win
ter, I said I would vote for his admission,
and intended to do bo boldly and cheer
fully. I propose to ask the Senate to in
vestigate the oharges contained in the in
dictment against me, but shall attend the
sessions of the Senate as punctually as I
always have done.

Frank Leslie’s Business.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
New York, Oot. 5.—The committee of
creditors of Frank Leslie report in favor
of the management of the business by
oommittee of five, oomposed of the prin

sidered a paying one. Mr. Leslie had
drawn veiy largely upon the resources of
his establishment, the amount being about
$76,000 per annum, whioh, in their judg
ment, was in excess of profits. The busi
ness had also been conducted in a very
extravagant manner
The oommittee thought in three years
the indebtedness oould be paid off. The
plan proposed is that Mr. Leslie should
have supervision of the business and be
allowed 30 per aent of the profits as sala
ry, and 80 per oent. to be divised as pro
rate quarterly among the creditors.
About 100 creditors were represented
or present and the report of the commit
tee was adopted unanimously. The
Board of Management oonsists of ex-Gov.
Rice, of Mass., Wm. H. Parsons, John
Hall, Edward Goodwin, Jr., and Wm. B.

MASSACHUSETTS, NEW YOBK AND NEW JER
SEY.
New York, Ootober 6.—The steamer
Massachusetts, from New York to Prov
idenoe, went ashore near Hortions Point,
Long Island sound, at 13 o’olook last
night. She lies about 400 feet from shore,
full of water. The passengers are all safe
and will be landed by next ebb tide. The
storm reaohed here yesterday afternoon,
and in the evening became furious. The
weather is clear this morning. There w> B
very high tide yesterday, which, with
torrents of rain and the gale, did much
damage along the water fronts ; also in
New York, Jersey City, and Brooklyn;
also interferred with the ferry and rail
road travel. .
THE SOUND AND FALL RIVER BTEAMER—THE
MASSACHUSETTS STRANDED.
New York, Oot. 5.—The Massachu
setts, honce for Providence, grounded on
Rooky Point, Bnd lies in twelve feet of
water, badly strained.
The steamer Bristol, whioh arrived
this morning from Newport, did not
strike the heavy gale until after passing
both Point Judith and Gull Island, at
about 1 o'olook, when it was exceedingly
dark with a heavy north wind and sea,
whioh continued until 4 o'olock this morn
ing.
The Bristol passed the steamer MasBah
ohusetts at 13:30 last night, near Little
Gull Light, at the eastern entranee of
Long Island Bound. The Massachusetts
was then headed eastward, and was about
twenty-five miles east of Horton’s Point.
From this fact it is very evident that the
MaBBaohusetts turned round to make a
lee anchorage under the Long Island
shore until the abatement of the gale. It
was very thick, and the winds subse
quently shifted from the east southeast to
the northward. At the time the Bristol
passed the Massachusetts, the usual sign
wbb exchanged, and everything, appa
rently waa as usual with her.
The steamer Providenoe of the Fall
River Line which left here last evening,
with about three hundred paBseDgers laid
to, at the head of the sound for a change
of weather, and was passed this morning
by the Bristol at four o'olook off New
Haven.
PARTICULARS OF THE STRANDED BTEAMER
MASSACHUSETTS PASSENGERS LANDED
SAFELY.
Greenport, Long Island, Ootober 6.—
The Massachusetts, lies broadside to
shore, the sea not breaking over her.
The surf is rolling up six to eight feet
high. The passengers are being landed
by surf boats and sharpies. .The steamer
has five life boats on board hanging on
davits not in use. The cause of going
ashore was the loss of reckoning in storm.
Opinion is she will go to pieoes. Much
of the oargo, consisting of bales of cot
ton, oil in barrels, and general merchan
dise was thrown overboard. The boat
lies about three hundred feet from shore.
Beventy-five lady passengeis were on
board, who have behaved brave
ly throughout. The first passengers
were labeled by Charles Clark and Daniel
Mallison, of East Marion. The fishermen
of Greenport and East Marion are doing
services with their sharpies, landing the
passengers rowing to and from the boat.
The life boats in use are hauled through
the surf by ropes. A hauser with a cra
dle rigged for landing passengers is also
connected with the top of the bluff, but it
will not be neoessary to use it. Two hun
dred passengers in all were on board.
The ladies are all landed, and all will be
safely ashore by 10 o’olook. They will
mostly return to New York by train on
the Long Island Railroad.

GERMANY WARNS TURKEY.
London, Oct. 5.—The Daily News
speoial from Vienua says a trusty report
from ‘Berlin states that by the Emperor
William's special orders, a note has been
sent to Constantinople very earnestly
urging that the priuciples of humanity
should be no longer violated. The note
does not exactly threaten the Turks, but
leaves no doubt of the high indignation
felt,and that the German Government does
not intend, silently and indifferently, to
look on.
RUSSIANS BOMBARD RUBTOHUK.
The Timet’ Hnstchnk speoial, Ootober
3d, says a renewed bombardment by the
liussian batteries at Giurgevo has infloted

ohnk. A great proportion of the houses
are in utter ruin. Only a few remain.
The entire retrenchment, however, is
intact. The health of the garrison and
inhabitants is good. Casualties are few.

TO SEPTEMBER 27TH—GRAIN CROP BAD.
London, Ootober 5.—The .Russian offi

dp to September 27th.
The Russian grain crop is disappoint
ing in quunttiy and quality. The wet
weather in August and a scarcity of labor
are the causes of the short crop.
TURKISH VICTORY IN TWO DAYS* FIGHTING
BEFORE KARS.
Further particulars of the battle before
Kars make it evident that the Russians
assaulted the Turkish positions along the
whole line, and were repulsed with heavy
loss. The success gained on Tuesday in
the capture of the Great Yagui Hill
claimed by the Russians and conceded by
the Turks, did not compensate for the
failure at other points of the line, and
the positions carried have since been
abandoned. Notwithstanding the dilatory
and fragmentary character of the dis
patches, enough has reaohed us to make
it apparent that the main action was
fought on Tuesday. The Turkish line
emended from Great and Little Yagni—
two fortified hills in the Kurukdara plain
—as far aB Ani, on the Alpachai river,with
the centre advanced toward the river and
resting on Kiziltepe.
The Russians, who had been rein
forced, both by new troops and those
lately employed against the Cauoassian
insurgents, oommenoed the battle at day
break on Tuesday by au assault on Great
Yagui, whioh is the extreme outwork of
Mukhtar Pasha’s fortifications, about
twelve miles due east from Kars. Here
the Turks seem to have beeu taken by
surprise as muoh as the Rus
sians were when Mukhtar won
Keziltepe from them compelled them to
abandon their fortified camp at Kuruk
dara. A single Turkish battalion defend
ing Great Yagiu was cut to pieoes or cap
tured after two hours obstinate de-
feuoe, which gave the Turks au oppor
tunity to prepare for the next assault.
Up to this point all accounts agree, but
regarding subsequent events they are
very conflicting.
A Turkish offioial dispatch says: A
great battle ensued lasting thirteen hours.
Repeated Russiau attacks were repulsed
with heavy loss.
A Russian bulletin from the Grand
Duke Miohaol’s headquarters at Kasajal,
dated the 4th instant, says : After the
capture of the Great Yagni, it was fonnd
that Little Yagni was so stroDgly fortified
that an attempt to assault was considered
premature. After thirteen battalions sent
from the Turks to reinforce Mukhtar
Pasha had been repulsed, our troops for
tified themselves in the positions they
occupied. Our loss on Tuesday was
3,069 killed and wounded. The enemy’s
losses were not less. We captured 200
men.
Evidently the Turkish account as to the
repeated attacks, after the capture of the
first Turkish position is oorreot. Other
wise there oould not have beeu 6,000 men
killed and wounded.
The Russians also attacked the centre
at Kiziltepe, but were repulsed simultane
ously. A Russian force moving from the
direction of Ani endeavored to turn the
Turkish right and get between Mqhktar
Pasha and Kars. This is the movement
referred to by the Daily News' corres
pondent in a special dispatch from Kara-
jal, Wednesday, in which he says: Hopes
are entertained of cutting off Mukhtar
Pasha from Kars.
Of this affair a Turkish bulletin says :
“After five hours’ fighting a Russian
foroe, consisting of six battalions of in
fantry and two regiments of cavalry, were
driven back and pursued to the banks of
the Alpochar."
A Russian bulletin says: A lodgment
was effected on the Turkish right fiank
and a Turkish attack ou the next day,
Weddesday, was brilliantly repulsed, aud
the enemy driven as far as the outer
line of their camp. The Russian loss
here was 3,000 killed aud wounded.
From their conflicting statements, it is
quite apparent that the lodgment effected
by the Russians was not of any impor
tance, since a subsequent assault by the
Turks resulted in the latter being driven
to tee outer line of their camp. The loss
was also insignificant.
The 200 captured Russians were proba
bly the remnant of the garrison of Great
Yagni.
Finally the Turkish bulletin concludes:
We have gained a brilliant viotory and
inflicted a loss of over 5,000 on the enemy.
The Russian bulletin concludes : To
day, Thursday, our right flank will with
draw from the position ocoupied by them
on Tuesday on account of the difficulty in
obtaining a supply of water.
THE BATTLE—RUSSIANS REPUL9ED EVERY
WHERE.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
London, Ootober 5.—The Turks esti
mate the Russian foroe engaged against
their left at thirty-five battalions of in
fantry and nine regiments of oavalry.
They say Little Yogui was assaulted five
times and taken and retaken. The move
ment against the Turkish right flank was
ro near suooeediug that Mukhtar Pasha’s
communications with Kars at oue time
were aotually intercepted. Eventually
the repulse was oomplete along the whole
line, and the Turks remained in posses
sion of the field of battle.

Correspondence of tho Graphic.]
Washington, September 16.—If Oliver
Perry Morton dies, the Republicans in
the Souate will have lost their balttuce
wheel aud will woik at zig-zags. He is
the author aud promoter of more great
measures than any man who has been
identified with American legislation
Since he has been in tbe Somite nothing
of moment Iihs succeeded without his aid;
everything of moment thAt he has op
posed has failed. A chronic invalid; a
man whose physical life has been a tor
ment for twelve years; who has not drawn
a breath without pain for that long time,
he has been the Hercules to hold up the
Republican world when the knees of Atlas
have been staggering. He is like nothing
more than t e great balanced-wheel of nil
engine Tbe foroe uiny have originated
in au abstract motive; other men may
have supplied tbe material aud the m nor
jarts of the machinery, but Mortou, when
io has engaged himself, has been tbe ro-
ceptaolo of all the foroe, and by constant,
even revolutions, lias expended that force
upon the object sought until it has beeu
accomplished. There is no man uow iu
the Senate who oau take his placo. There
is uo uiau living who oau fill it. It is
said that Governor Williams will send
Dan Voorhees here to supply the vacancy,
if Mortou dies, until the Legislature of
ludiaun oau elect Hendricks.
« Compared with Morton, Vorheos is an
idle ranter. He is eloquent, but vapid ;
his tongue is louder than his mind. Mor
ton is not eloquent. He uses too simple
phrases when ho speaks. Eudeavoriug to
oouvinoe, not to impress, appeals to tho
sober reason, and not to the senses.
Conkliog is the next greatest man to
Morton, of the Seuate, but his strides are
too long for the oi barbaroi to follow him.
He iH too lofty to lend himself to tho
common details of legislation. A great
speeoh; a sublime apostrophe never pans"
ed a bill; uo great ideu was ever moulded
into a fact by the uso of a few exquisite
paragraphs. Nobody ever goes to Couk-
ling to say, “I wish you would help me
with this bill.” Nobody ever attempted
a measure without rnuking that r&quost of
Morton.
Edmunds has a shrowder mind — a
“larger head”—than either Mortou or
Coupling, but ho is oue of that kind that
tears down so much that people don’t
help him when he wants to build up.
Anthony aud Morrill always stuuds by
Edmunds, and second bis motions, but
that is very little service when tbe rost of
tbe Senate are against bitn. Edmunds
looks a hundred years old, when bis age
is less than half that. He looks like St.
Jerome, aud when in repose folds his
hands across his breast as if ho were ac
customed to hold a skull under them.
Great things are expected of cx-Juetioo
Duvis. No man was ever half so wise
he looks. After tho Sorgeant-at-Arms
had surveyed him and made a chair to lit
his lino proportions, bo contemplated the
Senate with the eyes of a man accus
tomed to see through things.
“Cal! me Judge,” he said, whou I ad
dressed him ouoo as Mr. Senator. “Call
me Judge. I’ve beeu oallod Judge for
twenty-two years, und by no other name
would I smell as sweet.”
The bonoh was irksome to Judgo Davis.
He was getting fatter and stupider every
year, and he knew it. So ho wus glad
that the Legislature of Illinois sent him
to the Senate. They could not have sent
a better man. lie will not bo so useful
to his constituents as Logan, but will bo
of more service to tho country. Logan
was a better man than most of bis friends
knew; a better man than those who don’t
know him will bolievo. Dut ho is a
chronic growler, unless ho wus iu a tight
and then his Irish pulse bent contentodly.
Logan never did less than ho promised.
He would always do more. During tho
tiresome Senatorial contest iu Illinois
last winter Goneral Grant said:
T hope Logan will be elected. lie has
an ugly temper but you always know
whore to find him. lie is the surest man
to his friends I know.” Dut, as I said,
Judge Davis will be of more service to the
country. Ho is nble, judicial and proba
bly knows more law than any muu iu the
Sennto except Edmunds, perhaps. His
political position is iu uo doubt; bo do
fined it clearly boforo ho left Washing
ton last session. Uo will support the
President.
Dooth, of California, is a muu that will
come out prominently some day. lie is
cool, calm and contemplative, lie is too
indifferent to bo warmly prejudiced for
or against anything, and is accustomed to
look out of impartial eyes. There is a
great deal of latent ability in him, also,
and when ho exhibits it he will astonish
people. Dooth is a dillettantc. lie has
handsome hands, and wears them gloved.
His clothes tit him too neatly to allow
him to do any heavy lifting, but lie is
of that material that ho will take off his
coat when he gets interested.
Dooth and Oglesby have formed a re
markable intimacy. Remarkable, because
it would seem to a third party that they
should repel each other, not attract.
Oglesby is crude and boorish; ho takes a
pride in it. lie says “lllonoy” and swears
in tho presence of such men us Fre-
linghuyseu aud William A. Wheeler.
Dooth thinks profumty vulgar, and has as
delicate Reuse of propriety as an old maid
boarding school teacher. Dut the two
men are iuseperable. They walk to tho
Capitol arm in arm every morning, and
ride homo togethor at night in the same
carriage. One will wuit nu hour for
breakfast if the other is late, and that is
a test a matrimonial attachment won’t
stand.
From the new men that tho South has
sent to the Senate much is expected.
They ure a bettor class than have come
from there since secession, and nearly
all of them have been chastened by fire.
Lamar, Hill, Morgan, Garland aud liar
ns are all trumps of the lost cause.
Each one is the best of the native class
in his State, aud each believes in the
divine right of the States. Lamar and
Hill are tho ablest aud best known. The
former from bis long prominence iu the
House of Representatives, the latter from
his debate with Dlaine over tho bleached
bones of AndersoDville.
Hill is an uneasy spirit, seldom sits iu
his own seat, and is given to pacing the
floor like a man with a burden ou his
mind. This is also a characteristic of
Christiaucy. Ilill and Christmucy ro
semble each other, except that the former
has three or four more inches iu lougth of
Bpiuo. Doth have round shoulders und
faded gray eyes. ’I’hey trim their whis
kers alike, und are giYon to clasping their
bands behind them. Hill is pathetic;
Christiaucy is judicial. Hill is a dreamer;
Christiaucy a student. Hill is brilliant iu
debate; Cbristianoy writes everything be
speaks and reads a five minutes argument
from manuscript.
Lamar is nervous aud vehement. Whou
he makes a speeoh be exhausts bis physi
cal energy by violent gesturing and too
much shakiugjof the head. His body is
binged at the base of the lumbar verte
bra, and he doubles himself up at the
end of every sentence. He is troubled
with a disease of the kidneys, and he suf
fers horrors sometimes. Often after
speaking he has an attack of vertigo, and
has to have his collar loosened aud be
laid out with compresses ou bis bead.
He is politic but oursed with an ugly tem
per. Interrupt him iu a speech, and he
flieH into a passion ; let bim alone and he
will sing the song of a seraph
Last winter, at one of ihe Democratic
caucuses, Lamar was urging his party to
support the E eoioral bill. A drunken
Virginia CougresNman reproached him
with dishonoring bis party.
“Take him away,” cried Lamar, “take
him away, or I’ll kill him.”
And he would have killed bim had he
not been taken away.
Lamar is forever preaching about polit
ical sincerity, and bewailing the b\poc-
risy of the times, when he is himself an
outrageous hypocrite. He ih like Ethan
Brand, in Hawthorne’s story, the man
who sought through all the earth for the
unpardonable sin, and at last found it, in
his own heart.
Senator Hamlin oalled on President
Hayes at the close of last session. Said
he :
“Mr. President, I don’t like to see you
taking Lamar and Hill to your bosom.
They are as wicked rebels to-day as ever
they wore, and are bamboozling you.”
“I don’t think so, Senator,” replied the
President. “I have seen a great deal of
Mr. Hill and Mr. Lamar lately, and I like
them.
“I know that,” said Hamlin, “au’ I’ll
be if it’s any credit to you ”
Hamlin is the relic of the Beu Wade
class of men in tbe Senate. Honest, but
intolerant. Znoh Chandler was another
of the class.
Gordon, from Georgia, is a man of
more resources than any of his coll- agues
from the South. He is able, energetic,
self-possessed, ingenius, and a man of af
fairs. He had a little daughter born ou
the day tho troops left the State House
' i South Carolina. He named her
Carolina,” aud the ohild died.
Garland, the new Senator from Ar
kansas, looks liko tho priests that Vibert
puts on bis pictures. Tall, well-fed, fond
of spirits, a round, close shaven face, red
and pulpy. lie made a good Governor
aud will mako a good Senator.
Morgan, of Alabama, and Harris, of
Tennessee, are little men with unobtru
sive gray moustaches. Morgan has no
particular record, but Harris is identified
with the histories of tho State of Ten
nessee, the late Confederate States of
America, and tho last conquest of Mexico.
He has cut a wideswarth in his time, aud
the Democracy have great expectations of
him in the Senate.
The event of tbe next session of the
Senate will transpire when Dlaiue aud
Stanley Matthews meet. Blaine has cut
switches enough to give Stanley a drub
bing. Matthews is a strong debater, but
whether ho can stand Blaine’s pugilistic
oratory is doubtful. Sinoo Matthews un
dertook to steer the ship of State, he has
done some things that he will have to
explain and defend, or Blaine will make
him ridioulou8.
LOUINVILLE.
ANNUAL MEETING OF THE LOUISVILLE AND
NASHVILLE AND GREAT SOUTHERN RAIL
ROAD STOCKHOLDERS.
Louisville, Oot. 3.—Tho aunual meet
ing of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad
Company occurred to-day. The old Board
of Directors were re-elected without op
position. A resolution of congratulation
to the stockholders on the success of tbe
management of the railroad was unani
mously adopted.
E. D. Standford was re-elected Prosit
deut and H. V. Newcomb Vice Presi
dent.
The report of the President shows tho
nffuirs of tho company to be in a satis
factory condition, the bonded aud float
ing debt having beeu largely reduced.
The earning capacity is rapidly being in
creased, being iu tbe past year $2,140,“
520 28, against $1,484,047.37 in the year
before the panic. The road is iu fine
physical condition. Tho country through
which it passes is increasing in popula
tion and wealth. Tbe company is paying
much attention to immigration and loca
tion of manufacturing interests along its
line of road.
The Galt House, erected some years
ago, was sold to-day, by order of assign
ees, for $157,000. The original cost ex
ceeded one million. The hotel is doiug
a good business and got into bankruptcy
through old dohts.
Mr. J. W. Story, who has just-returned
from Texas, is ou a visit to Hamilton. He
reports rather unfavorably of tbe crop
prospects iu that State, and Bays it is tho
exception and not the rule where they
have good crops. He thinks some por
tions of Texas will do to live in, but be
didn’t find money growing ou trees.
Judging from bis conversation, Georgia
is good enough for Mr. Story.
