Senator Sargent, Republican, of
California, said to a reporter of the
San Francisco Call, on the 20th ult.:
“The Republicans have failed iu. re
construction, no* because their plan
of reconstruction was morally wrong,
but because a people cannot, under a
republic, bo governed if they do not
wish to be governed/'
There are several Significant facts
and plain inferences involved in this
brief sentence:
Ist. We have the admission that
the Republican plan of “reconstruc
tion” has proved a failure. Now in
what has it failed? All the recon
struction laws are still in force, and
havo Been executed according to
their terms. The failure to which
Senrtor Sargent alludes, then, must
be the failure to maintain Radical
governments In the South.
2d. This is, therefore, an admission
>tbat the Republican plan of “recon
struction” was designed to secure
the Southern States for the Radical
party, and in this purpose it has
failed. Thank God! if litt.%
3d. Mr. Sargent admits thattheße
publicans tried to govern the people
in a way that they did not wish to be
governed, and that this has been
found impracticable in a ropublic.
Precisely so, and the Republican
“statesmen” proved themselves to
be short-sighted time-servers or fool
ish fanatics in ever believing that
they could do this in a republic. It
is to the credit of President Hayes
that ho saw its folly find.impractica
bility, and desisted in the attempt
that his predecessor had so persist-,
ently made. It is’to be hoped, too,
that he, unlike Senator Sargent, sees
the “moral wrong" in it.
■ •—— -
We clip the following from the San
Francisco Call's report of an inter
view on the 20th ult. between one of
Its representatives and Mr. Sargent,
a Republican U. S. Senator from Cal
ifornia. It will be seen that Mr.
Sargent confesses that the Republi
can Congressmen expected that the
Electoral Commission would decide
the questions referred to them by a
strict party vote, and says that “it
could not have boeu otherwise/’ In
view of the fact that the members of
that tribunal took a solemn oath
that it should bo “otherwise”—i. e.,
that they would decided according to
the law and the faets-r-the honest
people oi the country had a right to
expect that the Commission would
rise above the iufluehces ascribed to
it by Mr. Sargent.. Here is what he
said:
“After the Electoral Commission
was appointed, did you ever doubt
the result?”
“I think there was little doubt on
the port of Republicans; when the
bill passed, the democrats .felt cer
tain, for they expected l)avis to hold
the place that Bradley filled, and to
have eight to seven for themselves.”
“Then you think the result in auy
case would have been partisan?"
“Certainly. In such a case it
eould not be otherwise. The mem
bers were chosen because of their po
litical bearings. There were seven
strong Democrats and eight strong
Republicans, Had t hese figures been
reversed, the result would have been
reversed.”
"Do you not think that Bradiev
should havo been impartial in his
rulings—in other words, was ha not
expected to act as a judge, as ho was
ohosen by both parties.”
“Not more tbau Field or Clifford or
Miller. They were all chosen by both
parties, and had the satno responsi
bilities. I think men’s opinions are
part of their moral being, and oach
side may have conscientiously
thought adherence to its partv views
strictly right.”

“How is this, landlord?” “fast’fall you

It is necessary that the geography
of the seat of war, the j>o!itlcal rela
tions of the principalities, and the
relative strength of the military
power of the two opposing nations
be understood, in order that we read
Intelligently the accounts from the
war in Turkey. Allowance must also
be made for the difference in pro
nunciation of the nations, for the
places are spelled by each writer
from Umiseat of wnraccording to the
sound as conveyed by the letters Of

lish, Ketcheneff: Climmla, Bbumlu,

I have taken the accounts sent
herewith mainly from the ninth edi
tion of the KnoyeU/paidla Drilanniva,
the latest and the highest authority,
'f he war of 1854, was caused by Rus
sia invading Roumauia, aud being
defeated by England, Franco and
Austria, tbe treaty of Paris in 1836,
called the Tripartite Treaty was
formed. Ijhese powers will have the
same cause to intervene now as then,
for Russia is carrying out the policy
of Czar Peter to force a front on the
Mediterranean.
We of the South know how piety
and policy go hand in hand, and

RUSSIAN ARMY—WAR ESTABLISHMENT.
Infantry,. ... ...n,,,, j , 694.511
Cavalry. 49,183
Artillery 48,773
Engineers 16,203
Total 808,671)
This is the regular army, and can
be largely increased.
The irregular troops or Cossacks,
counted as part of the army number
189,000, with 232 pieces of artillery.
Tbe war establishment o! the army
is about a million aud a quarter. The
militia is drawn from a population
of 82,000,000, every Russian being
liable to military Servian’On attain
ing his twenty-iirst year. Exemp
tion from military duty is fixed at
six hundred dollars.
The infantry is armed with breech
loaders, a bayonet tiud a short sword,
is formed in two ranks and move
loosely aud rapidly, the tactics re
sembling that of tho German army.
The uniform of tbe infantry i3 dark
green. In the Crimean war four
men out of live perished before
reaching the seat of war. But now
railroads will enable Russia to put
her armies fresh and uninjured by
fatigue or sickness into the enemy’s
country, sho has already reached the
Danube.
The two lines for defence for Tur
key would be the river Danube, and
the second and stronger would be
the Balkan mountains, sixty-live
miles south of the Danube. In a
gap of this range and on this route
to Constantinople is the key to the
country—the great fort of Shunala,
the headquarters of tho Turkish
army in Europe. Here the Russian
invasion was drivon back in a pre
vious war. Turkey, to oppose the im
mense force of Russia, has the
Nizina or standing army, whioh on
the war establishment counting only
fighting men, is:
Infantry 123,0f)0
Cavalry 20,000
Artillery (guns) 552
Total 160.000
To this she will add her reserves and
irregular levies.
Only half of her population is Mus
sulman, and from this half tho army
is recruited. The capital, the island
of Crete, and eertaiu frontier princi
palities, are by ancient privilege ex
empt from service arid from commu
tation tax: while in the central pro
vinces, Christians and others not of
the Mohammedan religion, are al
lowed exemption by payment of a
tax.
Tho total of active und reserve
forces is estimated at 070,000—not
counting, of course, a levy in mass.
The army is well supplied with
weapons of improved puttern. The
artillery is the best arm of tho ser
vice, being drilled by Germun offi
cers. The infantry drill i8 modeled
after the French. The uniform is
more national than formerly—much
like what we style'the Zouave.
Tunis and Egypt are vassal States
of Turkey, and are bound to furnish
5,000 and 30,000 respectively as auxili
ary contingents. This would take
about the entire force of Egypt, if
she could spare it.
Bulgaria, the province south of the
Danube, contains a mixed popula
tion of two aud a half millions, of
which half a million only are
Osmbnii Turks. The remainder rep
resent a dozen people, mostly ancient
Bulgarians, nominally Christians,
but in 1860 they drove out their Greek
priests for extortion, but still hold
nominally to that religion, though
many are Pagans and all very super
stitious. About 150,000 Tartars and
Circassians are exiles from Russia;
they are Mussulmans.
It seems probable that the seat ol
war will be between the Danube and
the Balkan Mountains, though Col-
Usaions must occur in Asia south of
the Caucasus and along the S. E.
shore of the Black Sea, as at Ba
toum. *

Nttw York Evening Post.]
The Tweed confession, and the expla
nations of the hosts of persons implicated,
remind one very much of the old anec
dote of Frederick the Great.
Frederick once visited a prison in his
dominions, and, as he was the greatest
King and the greatest meddler of his
times, he interrogated each prisoner sep
arately as to his guilt, with the following
result:
Frederick (to prisoner No. I)—What is
your crime?
Prisoner—l am the victim of a conspir
acy. My wife and her paramour swore
that I stole a silver chalice from a church,
which was unfortunately found iu my
house.
Fred, (to prisouei No. 2)—Your crime
was ?
Prisoner—! bad a quarrel with the po
lice, who swore vengeance - against me.
A house was broken into,and I, being un
fortunately near the spot, was arrested
and condemned ; but 1 am innocent.
Fred, (to prisoner No. 3)—You, sir, are
detained here for what?
Prisoner- Birc, I ant a celebrated auto
grnpbist. One day I was asked whether
I could imitate a certain signature, which
I easily could and did. This turned out
afterwards to he x forgery, and I was con
demned; hut I am innocent.
Fred, (to prisoner No. 4) —Why ore you
here?
Prisoner—l am the victim of a case of
mistaken identity. lam as innocent as
yonr Majesty.
Thus the King went through tin: inves
tigation of the cases of at least a score of
victims of,the law, when his eye fell upon
a stalwart, cunning looking lellow, to
wham he said: “Of course, my friend,
yon are innocent, but why are you here?”
The prisoner answered: "I stole a
horse and cart in Landsburg, drove them
to Custrin and sold them. I was caught,
tried and condemned to five yearslmpris.
onrnent.”
“Mr. JitHo?,” said the King, “I find
one confessed rogue anting a lot of very
innocent and worthy men. As there is
danger of his corrupting or inlecting this
noble and goodly company, you had bet
ter open the jail door and kick this fellow
out."
Uen. Toombs and the convention
From the Macon Telegraph, I'jth.
Quite a number cil citizens assem
bled in tho Superior Court room last
night, to hear Geu. Toombs’ reasons
for favoring a Constitutional Couven
tlon. Hofi. L. N. Whittle presided
and introduced the speaker.
Wo shall not attempt a lengthy re
port of the address, but will endeavor
to give the main points urged in
favor of the Convention. That the
speaker was at times eloquent in the
highest degree, ft is unnecessary to
state. The subject was considered
under two heads-first, objections to
the present Constitution; second,
features wblefi ■ the speaker would
have incorporated in the new one
His objections to the present in
strument are, that it is not founded
upon the first principles of free
government, the consent of the gov
erned ; that it is the work of veual al
iens, ignorantly dupes aud traitors to
the people; and finally, what he con
sidered the most important, it leaves
the people’s treasuryy open.
Ho dwelt upon the evils grow
ing out of the last objection, instanc
ing the $18,000,000 of debt which was
fastened upon the State, a mortgage
upon the generations to come, aud
applauding the repudiation of $lO,-
1)00,000 of it.
Ho would have the now Constitu
tion prohibit tbe State from borrow
ing money for any other purpose
than the public defense; prohibited
from indorsing any bond or obliga
tion for any individual or corporate
enterprise; ho would have legislators
elected as often as tho General As
sembly meets, whether annually or
biennially. “Bar the Treasury
doors,” he said ; ‘secure them so that
burglars cannot enter; so that it may
be thrown in the street and be safe,
and you may have the Capital where
you will; but leave it open, and the
halls of our fathers wili not prevent
plunder.”
The speaker answered fully, many
of the objections urged against a
convention, characterizing most of
them as either the emanations of
weak minds or the subterfuge of
venal agents of the bondholders and
plunderers, or the plunderers them
selves. He favored a homestead, one
that should be unalienable, tnat
should last ’till the angel of Heaven
should stand with one foot on the
water and tho other on the land and
declare time at an end. Ife wanted
the mothers and children of Georgia
to bo protected. “Save them,” he
said, “from the poor house, where
every breeze brings its snares and its
temptations; save them from the
cold charity of the world ; save them
from being outcasts upon the way
side, where every sun goes down on
new scenes and every morn dawns
upon new miseries; save them, if
you can, for Heaven.”
General Toombs spoke an hour
und twouty minutes, and was atten
tively listeued to by the large audi
ence, many parts of the speech being
loudly applauded.
THE BOSNIAN AUVANCF.
THE “vitfdflx” FORTRESS OF TtmKF.V.
W*aUiDgton Star.]
Dispatches from Bucharest state
that the Russian staff has left Kische
neff and the cavalry is marching to
ward the Danube. According to late
reports the Russians had B,(Hit) oavat
ry at Kischeneff and about 120,00 u in
fantry, with 432 guns, while all to
gether they have uearly 300,000 men
and 2,(XX) guns between the Crimea
and the Austrian frontier. The near
est crossing on the Danube is at Sit
istrla, at which point the Turks made
the gallant defense against the Rus
sian advance in 1854 during the Cri
mean war. It was invested by Gorts
chakoff, and afterwards by Paske
vitch, but after - bombarding it for
thirty days the Russians retreated
with n lots of about 12,000 men and
most of their armament. The Turks
are reported to have now 18,000 men
atßilistria. The next nearest point
of crossing the Danube is at Rust
ehuk, where there are 10,000 Turks;
while iu and around Widdin, where
it is believed the Russians intend to
cross, are 55,000 Turks with 144 guns.
Widdin is a fortified town in West
Bulgaria, 370 miles from Constanti
nople. It is situated on a wide plain
formed by a bend of the Danube, op
posite Kalafat, in Little Wallachia,
and is ot great strategic importance.
The fortress, though frequently as
sailed, has never been captured, and
is hence called the “Virgin Fort.”
The fortifications were strengthened
during the Crimean war, when the
environs on both banks of tho Dan
ube were for a time the principal
theatre of the war. At Kalafat, op
posite Widdin, the Russians lost 10,-
000 men in 1829. in their operations
agaiust iho Turks, and in 1854, the
latter repulsed a vigorous attack by
the Russians at the same point. It
is now estimated that, the entire
Turkish force now in Bulgaria
amounts to 115,000 infautry, 3,U00 ar
tillery, 216 guns and 5,000 gunners in
the fortresses of the Danube.
As the Russian advance numbers at
least 200,000 men and 600 guns, the
Turkish first line of defence, that of
the Danube, would seem to be inade
quate to resist the preponderating
forces against them, but in the past
they have show the ability to resist
even greater odds in the wav of Rus
sian attack, and the Russians now
will probably not march to easy vic
tory.

i which cost $403,778.66 —an average of 10 -
95-100 cents per lb. The stock of cotton
on band Match 1 was 2,950 bales.
It was resolved by a stock vote, every
