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. J. J. Patterson.

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. DAMAGE TO LAKE SHIPPING. Chicago, Oot. 6.—Reports begin to come in of serious damage to lake ship ping. There are no great distress disas ters, however. MAILS DELAYED.

Constantinople, Ootober 5.—Mukhtar Pasha's dispatch reports the Wednesday fighting indecisive. His outposts were driven in, and the fighting resulted in killing and wounding 5,000 Kussiaus. The Turkish loss is not stated. The Porte, in a dispatch to its repre sentatives abroad, olaims that Mukhtar gained an overwhelming victory. 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 enormoQB damage upon the town of liust- 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. RUSSIANS CONFESS TO A LOSS OF 52,000 MEN TO SEPTEMBER 27TH—GRAIN CROP BAD. London, Ootober 5.—The .Russian offi cials acknowledge a loss of 52,000 men 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. SOME OF OUR SENATORS THE LEADERS ON EITHER SIDE AND HOW THEY DIFFER.

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. WESTERN RAILROAD OF ALABAMA.
