THE EEIIIUN MW MOVING
London, June 9.—Several Turkish
officers have been shot in oonsidera
: tiou of the loss of Ardahau.
A Montenegrin account says: The
(Turks moved in two columns-cue
* going to the relief of Goransks, and
| the main force, under Suleiniau Pa
jsha, to Kostaz. The latter column
! attacked the entrenchment of Gen.!
I Veutouks with great gallantry, but j
: were repulsed, being twice driven
S back on the reserves. The third at
| tack was also repulsed, the Turks;
| taking up a position opposite Kostaz,
where they still remained when the
last courier left.
In spite of this alleged third re
pulse of the Turks, the account pro
ceeds to state that Gen. Vukovlos fell
back on his second line of the Duga
at 4Jo’cloek next morning, where he
has not been molested.
It appears from this report, which
certainly docs uot unduly exagger
ate the success of the Turks, that if
Gen. Yukovics’ position were uot ac
tually strained, he is placed in such a
position as to be obliged to abandon
them.
The account continues: The Turk
ish loss in dead in this engagement
was about 3,000. Six hundred dead
: were counted in front of the en
j trenchment of one Montenegrin bat
talion. The other Turkish column
going to Goransko, was met by Gen.
Saccoa and driven back to Murato
vitza, where it was encamped at
latest information. As the defeat of
this column would leave the rear of
Sulermau Pasha’s army exposed, it
is probable he will attack Gen.Socica
before moving on Gen. Yukovics
again.
From Vienna news comes that
Prince Mkita has sent reinforcements
to tho Montenegrins defeated at
Krotaz, and they have taken up a
position at Poresjka, towards the
end of the Duga pass in the direction
of Nicsics, where probably another
attempt will be made to stop Suleim
on his way to provision that place;
but for this purpose only a portion
of the force could tie spared, as the
Turkish invasion threatens Montene
gro from a third side, to which hith
erto no attention seems to have been
paid, namely, from Siewitz.
The report of the third division in
favor of the Turks seem undoubtedly j
true, being confirmed by Turkish |
official bulletins and from other more !
reliable sources.
London, June 9.—Turkish journals
assert that Hobart Pasha has left
Vienna with the Turkish squadron
to bombard Odessa.
A dispatch to the News from Vien
na states that a state Of seige having
been proclaimed irr Roumania, tele
grams concerning military move
ments henceforth will be stopped.
A Bucharest dispatch to the Times
says, one of the great causes of the
proclamation of a state of seige was
the delay and unsatisfactory working
of the Roumanian railways. All
railway officials are now brought un
der subjection to the military author
ities.
The Times, in its leading article,
confirms its correspondent’s summa
ry of Prince Gortschakoff’s letter.
A Vienna dispatch to the Telegraph
says the Russians not only intend to
occupy Bulgaria, but have made all
arrangements for remaining at least
three years in the village of Adriano
ple.
The Post says Russian merchants
j in the Baltic ports are reported to be
: clearing the wharves and warehouses
I by exporting all goods as faraspossi-
T ble, under apprehension of a general
j prohibition of exportation.
A Berlin dispatch to the Pall Mall
i Gazette says the German iron-clad
| squadron, now on the way to the
j east, has been ordered to proceed
with greater speed. A second prac
tice squadron, consisting of seven
vessels, is about to be. formed. The
Admiralty are preparing to enlist
additional seamen. No persons lia
ble to service in the navy are permit
| ted to leave their districts.
A Reuter from tho President says
Herr Simony announced that he
would interpellate the Government
regarding the principles of its policy
in the east, namely, whether a con
vention exists between Austro-Hun
gary and one of tbe belligerents, and
whether annexation or occupation is
intended.

DESCRIPTION OE THE PROCESS.
Washington, June 9. —A patent has
just been granted to Irving Picker
ing, one of the ediiors and proprie
tors of the Evening Bulletin and
Morning Cull newspapers of San
Francisco, for a method of rapid tele
graphing of far similes of stereotyped
plates. It is claimed that by this
process an entire page of a newspa
per can be transmitted by telegraph
in from fifteen to thirty minutes, de
livering the copy directly from iho
instrument, in such form that it
can bo handed immediately to
the printers. In other words,
the copy will be a substantial repro
duction of the original, except that j
it may be given in a large sized let-!
ter if so desired. The stereotyped
plate requires no preparation for the
purpose of telegraphic transmission,
ot her than the filling of all items,
depression or spaces between the
falls of the letters with a non-con
ducting substance which may be
quickly applied. The faces of the
type being left clean by means of an
equally simple process. The plate
thus prepared is placed upon a cylin
der arranged to revolve rapidly so ns
to present each successive letter to
fingers attached to a traveling frame.
As the cylinder bearing the plates re
volves, tho frames gradually advan
ces by the operation of a screw, and
thus each and every line is success
ively presented to the fiugers or mag
netic points already mentioned.
Necessarily the circuit is open when
tho points are passing over the non
conducting surface, but as often as
the metal type presents itself to said
fingers the circuit is closed and the
magnetic points or pens at tho re
ceiving station make tho record there
in the same letter as the original
delineated in a series of fine lines
either upon chemically prepared or
ordinary paper, fixed upon a corres
ponding cylinder at said receiving
station.

Washington, Juno 5.—-The Treas
ury is paving out now only large
United States notes for drafts. Tula
is the beginning of a movement in
tended to place the United States
Treasury circulation upon the Euro
pean looting, with no small bills in
existence, and with specie ns the me
dium of small operations. The Bank
of England and the Bank of France
seem to luruiah the model in this
respect; tho smallest note of the
former being five pounds, and of the
latter fifty fiaucs. The movement
that threatens jt,he annihilation of
small bills in tho legal tender cur
rency is regarded as strange in the
absence of any mandatory legisla
tion to I hat effect; but. is explained
in the fact t hat it is part of i tie new
financial policy. The idea is to get
silver out iti ns large quantities as
the Treasury can supply, and also to
make people prefer small bank
notes to large legal tenders.

A TALI' OF TIIF. LABI'S OF. It 11.-
I.AK.V I V,
I From an old Ma^ar.iuo.]
‘I cannot speak with certainty as to the
exact period nl lime to which the story 1
am about to relate appertains; bin it was in
those days long gone by, when this fair land
was divided among many rulers, and during
a time when a dreadful pestilence made the
stoutest heart quail with tear, bate on a
winter's evening a young chieftain, accom
panied by several armed followers, stopped
belore the habitation ol an agen man, who
had sought and found protection lor himself
and child upon the hospitable shore of lnuis
lalleii. The island was then held by an
O'Donoghue, Prince ofLocha *Tein, ti cbiel
tain who was (like several others) exempt
from the payment of tribute to the great
Maeartby. The leader of the daring band
that had ventured to invade the island ol
Innislallen was Scanlan ol the Glen, and
the fugitive belore whose habitation they
stood w as one of the once powerful race ol
the O'Sullivan's. The story goes that the
old man had failed to aid 'Tie ,Maeartby'
in a recent quarrel with a neighboring chiel.
J consequently had broken the tenure by
which he held his domains, and, tearing the
vengeance ol the mighty monarch, had lied,
vvitn all his wealth, to the O'Donoghue lor
protection,
‘The armed party were clamorous in their
demands tor admission, and, as the door ol
the old man’s dwelling was not immediately
opened, they were preparing to force it,
when tlie bars were removed and Sicilian
and his parly Were admitted. Upon their
entrance there rushed from an adjoining
apartment a young and lovely maiden, who
Unrig herself into Scaulan’s arms, exclaim
ing hi joyful accents:
‘ls it you, my dear Desmond? Ah! I have
so long expected you and watched your
coining from the western shore, long after
sundown.'
•The words had scarcely escaped her lips
when she started bark in terror, for the
brignt steel ol the chieftain's sword caught
her eye and sent a chill through her young
heart. She looked at the stranger, and,
sinking upon a seat, exclaimed:
‘Great heaven, it is not Desmond! We are
betrayed.'
‘True, fair maiden, I am not young Des
mond, the handsome hunter of the hills, nei
ther do I bring rich presents to my affianced
bride, the beauteous Saova. I am Scanlan
of the glen, and am here to execute the order
of my feudal sovereign, the great Macarthy
Mor.’
‘To thy chamber, daughter!' exclaimed
O'Sullivan, who had been unobserved by the
party; ‘i am sufficient, 1 should think, to do
lire honors of*the house to this base minion
of a baser tyrant.’
‘Reproaches are hut as words given idly
to the wind,’ replied the young chieftain;
‘tor from this moment neither you nor any
that claim your kindred can call house or
land your own. 1 bear a commission to
seize your persons, and your goods are con
fiscated.’
‘You must be triad, young man!’ vocifera
ted O'Sullivan, itusing his lamp to the lace
ol the denouncer. 'Know you not that we
are under the protection ol the Prince O'Do
nogbue, who has already punished more than
one proud chiel who has dared to molest
those to whom he grants protection? Home,
boy, nor dare to put this foolish trick upon
me.or I may punish you as you deserve.'
‘Well, Sis Traitor, we must e'en put your
threats to the proof; so do your duty, com
lades; seize that old dotard; he is your pris
oner, and his wealth the booty due to our
liege lord as indrmnification fur his refusal
to aid his cause against the Red O’Connor.
‘The followers of Scanlan obeyed, and
bound the old man hand and loot, w ho fan
cied the whole affix r must he a dream, for
the proceedings had been conducted with so
much secrecy and quiet that tlie reality tell
like a thunderbolt upon its victim.
‘Saova, who had crept to her father's side
during the loud war ol words,appeared roo
ted to the spot, and bent an eye. of vacancy
upon the mailed figure of the chieftain Scan
lari, while her father from time to time ut
tered cries of agony and despair, exclaiming,
‘Just heaven! what will become of us?’
‘A question soon answered,' replied the
Chief of the Glen; ‘yon, old man, as the head
of your race, are doomed to die the death ol
all traitors; and your child, with all other
sex bearing your name, or claiming kindred
with you, are to be driven from the land.
‘Great Gud! driven from their hearth and
home!’ exclaimed the old man, wringing his
corded hands.
‘Yes, even from this moment.’
‘Saova, on hearing tins terrible decree,
started Irom the state ol apathy into w hich
she had (alien, suddenly seized Scanlan s
mailed arm with a convulsive grasp, and
a golden zone, was seated upon an ebony
chair of curious workmanship; the handsome
youth, who appeared almost on his knees
before her as if in deep devotion belore
some saint. Kline, smiling and happy in
love, listened as he spoke. Scanlan thought
only of the bliss that awaited him, and his
happiness in contemplating the lair features
of the maiden he should call his own upon
the morrow. At their side, and looking as
their guardian angel, sat Gromlaith, exult
ting in her success of having effected a union
which w’ould heal the breach which had for
some time existed between her noble race
and that of the Macarthy Mor. Day was
fast drawing to a close, the evening perfume
of the sweet spring (lowers embalmed the air,
and all nature seemed hushed into a holy
calm. The little party felt its influence,
and silence for awhile crept among them,
as if they were alraid to break the repose of
nature. The Chief of the Glen rested his
head near the lap of his El line, and at that
moment they forgot all but themselves, even
the dreadful pestilence which for some time
past had, like a scythe, cut off so many of
the chieftains and their followers, sparing in
its dreadful march neither young nor old.
At this hour of fancied security the large
Gothic door of the apartment was cautiously
opened, and a female figure, closely veiled,
stood before the happy group. The youth
started to his feet, displeased at being inter
rupted in the sweet but serious train of
thought to which he had yielded, and some
what rudely demanded the purport of her
visit.
‘Scanlan, Chief of the Glen,’ she replied
with solemnity, ‘is not that fair maiden El
line, the daughter of the great Macarthy Mor,
and your affianced bride?’
‘At the sound of the woman's voice El 1 ine
started from her seat and bent an inquiring
look upon her lover. She fancied she fore
saw that a disagreeable scene was about to
be enacted by some trembling and forsaken ;
girl, and fearing for her own happiness she
burst into tears.
‘Scanlan briefly replied: ‘She is my affi
anced bride, the daughter of Macarthy Mor!
‘lt is well,’ said the incognita, in a tone
of exultation, and turning to the door by
which she had entered carefully closed it
Then ppicing herself belore Elline she scru
tinized her lor some time through her veil;
then, as if thinking alou’, she murmured,
pausing between each word: ‘Yes, yes, she
is indeed handsome, even more beautiful
than 1 had hoped to find her.’
‘And what is that to thee?’ demanded
Scanlan, impatiently
‘What to me?’ cxultingly replied the un
known; ‘Why this, Scanlan of the Glen! I
came to warn you and your young bride of
a drendlul project to dash the cup of bliss
forever from your lips; it has been well con
ceived, and will be executed by one who is
your deadly enemy.’
‘1 have tio enemy who can injure me, of
whom I fear,’ proudly answered the youth
■defended by my castle's walls and my good
sword, 1 would hid defiance to any chief
tain ’
‘Your enemy,’ replied the unknown, ‘is
hut a poor defenseless woman; one who, in
spite of ramparts and sword, holds in her
hand vengeance as inevitable and certain as
the punishment o( offended heaven!’
‘A horrible thought took possession or
Scaiilan's mind; it appeared to him unueas,
oriable to tear a woman alone, unarmed
but he doubted not that she was a maniac,
a sad presentiment agitated him, and with a
trembling voice he said, ‘Who are you?
what are you?’
‘I am Saova, the chieftain's daughter,’
she replied, with solemn pathos; ‘and what
1 seek is vengeance for a father’s death!’
‘Enough, enough!’said Scanlan; -instantly
leave this place or my followers shall thrust
thee hence!'
‘The, dare not,’ she :eplied indignantly
‘Then 1 will!' he exclaimed, arid advan
cing towards her, seized her by the arm to
drag her forth, bur she clung to him with
corn ulsive rage. The struggle was severe,
anil he had nearly succeeded in his purpose
when she demanded to be allowed to leave
the castle without force. ‘I crave one boon;
let me but once more gaze upon the features
of your intended bride; ’tis all I ask for the
deep misery you have eansed both me and
mine.’
‘She advanced with him towards Elline,
who had sought refuge in Lady Gromlaith’s
arms, lor she had an unaccountable feel ng
of dread which she could not conquer.
Scanlan himself, while he held her firmly
by the arm, obeyed her with reluctance, ll
was a moment of awful silence as Saova
stood before the trembling Elline. Slowly
she raised the veil which had concealed her
features, 'then, presenting Ihe youth to his
lovely bride, she screamed aloud:
‘Elline Macarthy, 1 here present to you
Scanlan, Chief of the Glen.’ The youth in
stantly dropped the aim he had grasped, El
11ne fell upon her knees and Lady Gromlaith
stood motionless with horror. A loud, fien
dish laugh burst from Saova as she ex
claimed triumphantly, ‘Now, Chief of the

Where your good sword to defend you from
the vengeance of a poor, weak woman?
Why stand you all aghast? Why gaze on
me us if in fear? ’Tis true lam pestiferous!
and have inoculated with the poison ol death
all those upon whom 1 have breathed. Look
on your bride; see how beautiful she is! I
was once as fair. Now what am I? and who
made me what I am?’
‘Fiend-like she sprang upon Ihe object of
her hate, clung to him like a serpent, anil
covered his lace and lips with deadly kisses.
During this horrible struggle neither his
mother nor Elline dared approach to assist
him; they saw him writhing beneath the
roisonous embraces of the wretched woman,
and could only weep and call for help. At
length the vassals came; but at the sight ol
Saova they stood petrified and immovable,
not daring to approach beyond the thresh
old. The frightful contest was terminated
by Scanlan's pluhging his sword into Saova's
bosom. For several days the young chiel
tain's life was despaired of. During Ibis
time the Lady Gromlaith made a vow to
bestow a silver lamp upon the blessed Sain.

monastery to defray the expense ol keeping
the lamp constantly burning before the altar,
both by day and night. The Chief ol the
Glen recovered, but ths legend says he never
afterwards had the use of his right arm.,
which was the cause ol his having Ihe up

unerfiployedor denied its just, reward,
and all industries are paialyzed, and
that this has been brought about by
class legislation and mismanagement

whether currency or metal, should
be issued by and bear the stamp of
the Government; declares that paper
money issued by tbe Government,
made receivable for all its dues,‘a le
gal tender in payment of all debts,
interconvertible into bonds bearing
an equable rate of interest, will af
ford tne best circulating medium
ever discovered ; declares in favor oi
abolishing all banks of issue; favors
remonetization of the silver dollar
and mukiug it a legal tender for the
payment of all coin bonds, but op
poses the issue of bonds for
the purchase of silver bullion for
coinage; favors the taxation
of United States bonds; a re-enact
ment of tho law taxing incomes, and
declares it tho duty of the Govern
ment to foster and encourage the de
velopment of the resources of the

profitably employed and the general
welfare established and secured.

Bnmnnre Versus Truth.
Atlanta, Juno s—Judge Richard 11.
Clark, of the City Court, publishes a very
sensible and timely letter in tho Constitu
tion of this morning, in which ho knocks
the romance out ol the Sidlie Ellers case,
which has occupied about eight or ten
columns of that paper during ihe piest ten
days.
As your Georgia news columns recently
con till tied a paragraph in regard to her,
it may he well to inform your readers that
she was no "mere Child,'' and that her
onlg oflense whs not. that “she had no
home." Facts show that she was over
eighteen years old, and one of the most
depraved and ah unioned of her sex, hav
ing fallen so low us to cohabit with negro
men.
Judge Clark shows that every effort
was made to reclaim her months ago, hut
In vain. He also states that there are
other eases of a similar character, and
that there is no course open to him hut
that width the law marks out —to com
mit them to the chain gang. They are
nuisances of the vilest sort, and the' pub
lic peace and good morals demand that
they shall he properly dealt with.
While he approves tlie proposed move
men f to reform such degraded females,
he most emphatically demands that ro
mantic and sensational journalists shall
riot represent such old and hardened crim
inals as "mere children," and charge that
they are on the chain gang simply be
cause they h ive no home.” Truth and
j ustice cry out against sn h slanders np
