The statement made by ex-Secretary Mc Culloch at the Chamber of Commerce din ner in New York that the resumption of specie payments cannot [be effected so long as there are $700,000,000 of paper money in circulation, is a self-evident proposition. It is quite as certaiu that the gold necessary to redeem this vast amount of notes cannot be accumulated in the Treasury by the first of January, 1879. But it does not follow from this, nor does the ex-Secretary assume, that resumption at the date fixed is impossible or extremely difficult. We have nearly two years in which to withdraw the greenbacks, and the baabs have that time in which to prepare for the redemption of their notes. But work must be entered upon at once if resumption is to be effected at the date set by law. Contraction of the redundant paper currency is the only method by which a re turn to specie payments can be accomplished; and contraction should begin at once, for the i time given is none too long. Tho action al- i ready takeD by the Secretary of the Treasury in exchanging bonds tor gold and redeeming greenbacks with the gold thus obtained is a step in the right direction. If this policy be vigorously prosecuted the desired result may be considered as assured. The resumption of specie payments and 1 the consequent return to a specie standard i of value cannot be effected without much I labor and some distress, though we have i passed its most difficult stages. Having 1 made progress so far it would be folly to at- I rest our steps and thus lose ground already gained. The contraction of the currency must be continued, not with unnecessary rapidity, but judiciously and with delibera tion. The idea that resumption can be ac complished in a day and without preparation scouted by all who have.’given attention to the subject. The frequently quoted saying of Horace Greeley that “the way to resume is to resume” looks like an epigram, but it either means nothing or is a gross absurdity. No government can say “Go to, we will re sume,” and find itself at once upon a specie basis. Gold must be accumulated, notes must be called In, trade must gain strength, before the Treasury can post the notice over its doors “Three hundred millions of green backs redeemed here on demand.” The policy of contraction, vigorously and judi ciously pursued will enable the government by 1879 to undertake the redemption of its outstanding demand notes. But no other policy can safely be undertaken, if that end is kept in view. A cokkespondekt of the London Stan dard paints Bucharest as a Capua where the hardiest soldiers will soon lapse into effemin acy. Life in the Roumanian capital is like a dream of Anacreon; the people are children, the gentlest, kindest, most sweet-tempered that can be, but as ignorant of real life and unconscious of moral duties as the best chil dren must be. The fair have an irresistible leaning toward the brave, and pitying dark eyes bent upon the wearied soldier, soft lips cooing dulcet Latin over his hard fate will do more mischief to discipline than long marches or rough fare. These rose-leaf dreamers ask nothing but [to be left in peace to their eterna love making until the deluge comes and the Jews have eaten them up. It Is but a very emoll rvfrtrtrift fsi. D a «t«« unity, or a royal crown. They dislike, per haps, the hard and masterful Russian even more than the Turk, hut what can they do They are now between the Russian hammer and the Turkish anvil. But life goes on just the same at Bucharest. The handsome car riages in mad haste to get nowhere fill the streets as usual. Julia or Faustina, dressed in exquisite robes from Paris, reclines there in and eyes the crowded pavement with clas sic languor. The innumerable restaurants are crammed with idlers. And gentle love is still the lord of all In Bucharest. Verily, the Czar will do wisely to lead his soldier* across the Danube as soon as possible. There appear to be three principal points where the Russians are concentrating in or der to effect a passage of the Danube. The first is Ismail, just at the head of the Delta ot the Danube, and nearly opposite to Tultscha on the Bulgarian side. As a passage here would involve the army in bad marshes, and, besides, would compel it to fight its way through the whole leBgth of the Dobrudja, it is probable that the massing of troops and guns at Ismail is for effect, and to draw away the Turkish forces from other points. The next locality is a bend of the Danube to the north, inclosing a tongue of land easily forti fied, and that almost impregnable. Around the convexity of the bend, on the Roumanian side, are Reni, Galatzi, Baibaschi and Braila, only a few miles apart. At one or all of these places attempts are likely to be made, and a crossing will be almost certainly effected. An occupation of the Bulgarian shore at this point will necessitate the evacuation of the Dobrudja by the Turks, who will then have to fall back to Sistova, Varna and Shumla. The crossing will be far more difficult for the Russians at this bend of the river, but, once effected, its results will be correspondingly great. The next point at which the Russians are concentrating is opposite Silistria; but, as there is no railroad on tbe Roumanian side, no extensive operations can be carried on by the Russians. General Viele, in a recent lecture in New York, spoke ot the Central Park of that city as a malarial bed. It has too few trees and too much shrubbery. The shrub bery, he said, prevented the currents of air through that vast pleasure-ground which were necessary to keep It in a healthful condition, and by confining the foul atmosphere which arose from the ponds of stagnant water in the Park, made it a bed of disease. Qe advocated a change in this mat ter and also favored the botanical garden as an element of health as well as of beauty and interest. Trees, he thought, ought to be planted on every vacant lot and on all the streets in the metropolis, and every attention ought to be given to the increase of vegeta tion in the neighborhood of New York. In obedience to the suggestions of the Sanitary Board, trees are planted on all the principal streets and squares of Paris. As absorbents of malaria and miasma they are indispensa ble to the health of great cities. The Titusville Herald says the attention of the entire petroleum trade is fixed upon the new Bullion Run district. The average production of petroleum last year did Dot exceed 25,000 barrels a day. The demand for oil Is constantly increasing, and at pres ent Bullion Run, which yields 2,300 barrels a day, is the only hope of the trade that the supply will keep up with the demand. It ap pears also that the new district is the only spot in the entire oil region where flowing 100-barrel wells are found, and the interest among oil men is intense. What the re sources of Bullion Run are is involved in some uncertainty. None of the old-fashioned 1,200 and 1,500 barrel gushers are found, but there is no telling what may be developed yet. Fred Douglass in his reply to the at tacks made upon him shows that the assaults are the results largely of a Democratic con spiracy to remove him from his office. A large proportion of the persons active in op position belong to the ex-rebel slaveholding element of the district who were and are not ed as the bitterest of their class. Douglass says he did not neglect his business, and was absent only two days and only four hours’ ride from the city. The report of the lecture, lie claims, was prejudiced and garbled, and anly a small portion was printed. The entire meaning of the speech was, he asserts, per verted. The lecture as a whole was a eulogy an the National Capital, but all eulogistic references were omitted, while isolated sen tences from the darker side were presented as showing the true spirit of the speech. By this time next month citizens who de sire to write money orders at post offices will lie told there are no blanks. Congress was isked to make an appropriation to supply ilanks, but refused to do so, and every man who voted for a Democratic Representative in he House may take to himself a share of the )lame for the shameful confusion of public msiness that will ensue from the lack of noney-order blanks and similar conveniences n the post offices. Ix now transpires that Eph Holland, one of the Cincinnati ballot-box stuffers, plead guilty the other day when arraigned, for the purpose of saving the reputations of leading Democratic politicians in the conspiracy to iteal the Ohio election last October. It is lot probable that Holland did this because of he reverence he has for the leaders’ repnta ions, but because of the money they paid lim, which stands more to him than does his haracter. Blacque Bey, former Turkish Minister at iVashinglou for many years, is said to be the >erson near the Sultan who dictates what avors shall be extended Americans In con nection with the army. He has a pretty borough knowledge of American newspapers, is he suffered at the hands of some of them, rhere is little doubt that the action of the Sultan in refusing to admit American corres >ondents to the Turkish army is the result of Blacque Bey’s advice. Professor BascomoI Williams epitomizes Sew England weather in a way that will be tppreciated by the natives. He says, “Some >eople think New England weather very fine, is there really are some beautiful days. But srhen one does happen along, yon don’t have ;ime to open your mouth and say ‘God bless tr before up comes an east wind and blows .he words right back down your throat. The Conciliated States. The Washinton correspondent of the Boston Advertiser, writing nnder date of Wednesday, nas this to say in regard to affairs in the loath: The first election held in South Carolina lince Hampton became governor occurred on Monday in Fairfield county, a Republican stronghold. The Democrats carried the county »nd elected two members of the legislature by aver twelve hundred majority. The colored voters kept rway from the polls. The county last fall elected two Republicans to represent them in the legislature, and they were mem bers of the Mackey house. When the two leg islatures came together the Democrat* re fused to admit these two Republicans unless they would apologize openly and beg pardon for acting with the Mackey legislature. Refus ing to do this they were denied admission, and a new election was ordered to fill their teats, rhe result is, two Democrat* have been re turned. Senator Patterson, daring an interview with your correspondent to-day, said that a few weeks ago President Hayes said to him that in making appointments in the southern states he should not confine himself to Republicans, bat also appoint some Democrats where it would strengthen bis policy and tend to obliterate party lines. The news from the West and Northwest, indicating considerable dissatisfac tion among Republicans at the President’* Sonthern policy, has had the effect, Patterson thinks, to cause the President to change his mind in this respect. In a conversation three or four days ago with Mr. Patterson the Presi dent said he would appoint Republicans to office, but would be careful iu making his seleo uuu m get iub very cbsi meu in tne Kepubli can ranks for these offices. Secretary Sherman also informed Senator Patterson that so far as tho appointments under the control of his de partment are concerned, he will appoint only out-and-out Republicans who have stood by the party in the past, and not give good positions to men who have become Republicans since the present administration came into power. Sen ator Patterson says that Associate Justice Wright of South Carolina will certainly be re moved from office. The Republicans, except ing a very few, headed by ex-Attorney General Robert B. Elliott, are in favor of displacing Wright, and are willing to see'an outspoken Democrat substituted. Mr. Patterson predicts that a majority of the Republican members of the legislature will vote with the Democrats iu favor of driving Wright off the bench. When Ku-Klux outrages were very common in South Carolina the legislature, which was Republican, passed an act levying a special tax in certain counties for the benefit of widows and orphans of persons killed by the Ku-Klux on account of their political opinions. Infor mation bas been received here to-day that the Hampton legislature has repealed this law, and Hampton bas signed the bill. During tbe recent visit of ex-Governor War moth here he had an interview with the President in relation, it was said, to a reorgan ization of the Republican party in Louisiana. It is now denied that the President ts disposed to entrust this mission to the bauds of a man like Warmoth, who changes his politics every few months according to his personal interests. Ex-Senator West, who stands well with the admioistration.saysif the Republican party iato be built up iu Louisiana that new bands most do it, aud that tbe old leaders aDd party backs must keep aloof or else failure will be tbe re sult, He intends, be says, to practice a little self denial this way himself, and it will be to the interest of the party if other men who have been prominent actors in tbe political history of the State for the past five or six year* will do the same thing. Mr. West does not believe the President will disturb Postmaster Parker at New Orleans, although Warmoth ia endeav oring to obtain the office in the interest of an other person. It is believed that the President has conveyed privately to Marshal Pitkin of Louisiana an intimation that his resignation would be acceptable. It is understood that it is desired for tbe purpose of giving the place to Colonel Jack Wharton. Remonstrances have come here against the appointment of Whar ton from both white and blajk Republicans. It is charged that Wharton was connected with the Bossier massacre in 1888, in which two hundred colored people were killed. The Evening Star, which has supported the President’s Southern policy,in discussing edito rially the assassination of the Chisholm family in Mississippi by a Democratic mob, says: “One thing, however, is as oertain as the decree of fate itself, and that is that if similar butcheries continue to occur in tbe South, and the murderers are allowed to go unwhipped of justice, as they quite invariably are, a uni versal protest will be raised in the North against the persecution of meu in the South for opinion’s sake. The honor of the South and of tbe whole nation demands the punish ment of political assassins. Senators Gordon and Lamar have something at stake, if officials of the Governor Stone stamp have not, in ing that the President’s Southern policy is not made odious throughout tbe North aDd, West by the failure to punish the guilty per sons in these partisan murders’’. Magazine Notices. The Library Table now appears ^weekly, a change in ^manner of publication which will greatly please book buyers and all people inter ested in book gossip and criticism; for with them this periodical has been a favorite from the start. The first number of the new series contains, in addition to the valuable index of current literature and some unusually good edi torials, reviews of Wallace’s Russia, S. V. Blakeslee’s Archology.’and a biographical and critical notice of the late Joseph Autran,French poet and academician. From its list of notes and news the following is selected: There is a little matter connected with the odd coincidence of two authors selecting the same title, that of Kismet, for their books, which seems to have escaped the sharp eyes of the critics. Miss Braddon really has the first right of all to the title, as in her novel of Host ages to Fortune her hero writes a successful play to which he gives the name of Kismet. It has been stated that there were three Kismets m the field, but that is a mistake, there being only two. The first published was Mrs N Sears’ work, issued late in February, in Lon don, and still bearing that title. The seoond which, when recently republished in England, dropped Kismet to distinguish it from the oth er, appearing as A Nile Novel, by George Flem ing, is the very charming volume of the No Name Series, George Fleming being the pseu donym of the supposed author, Miss Julia Fletcher. A sketch of Tourguenetf and an essay on his genius, by U. H. Boyesep, will appear in Scribner's for June, whid^ lowed in July by a long story of ToUrguene^TCranslated by Mr. Boyescn, which, with the accompany

[N.Y. Times.] Victims to Southern Hate. Miss Chisolm has died of the wounds re ceived while defending her father agaiost the attack of the Democratic raflians of Kemper County, Miss. The brutality of the attack made upon her is sufficiently indicated m a letter, written in her behalf to a lady in Wash ington, which we publish to-day. Over the grave of the last of the victims of one of the most infamous episodes in the bloody history of Mississippi outrages, Northern Democrats may cant and snivel like the World about “the wild justice of revenge,” and “the not unnatu ral sequence of a series of crimes against indi viduals and society.” But over the body of this heroic girl—blackened and scarred by the hands and weapons of “chivalrous” Southern “gentlemen”—there ought to be pronounced such a discourse as would shame every true man and woman in Mississippi into a unani mous cry for vengeance against the cowardly assassins who have added the crowning infamy of warring upon women and children to a record of rapioe and murder which Louisiana itself can hardly excel. It is safe to infer that the “nigger” will rale Kemper County no long er, now that the family whose bead stood np so stardily for that “black crowd,” has been ex terminated, [Special Despatch to the New York Times.] Washington, May 15.—Immediately following the published reports of the cowardly and murder ous attack by white Democrats upon Judge Chisolm and his family, while they were confined in jail at Do Kalb County, Miss., a lady of Washington wrote a letter or condolence to Miss Nellie Chisolm, the brave girl who was severely wounded while heroi cally assisting to defend her father. Miss Chisolm caused the following reply to be made to this letter which was received here to-day. It will be observed that in addition to the gunshot wounds received by Miss Chisolm she was struck iu the lace by one of the cowardly ruffians who murdered her father and brother. Judge Chisolm died since the following letter was written: De Kalb. Miss., Map 12,1877. Madam: At the request oi Miss Nellie Chisolm, whose wounds render it impossible for her to write, 1 serve as her amenuensis. She takes great pleasure in acknowledging the receipt of your kind letters which have come to hand since the De Kalb horror took place, and let me assure you that your kindness Is appreciated. I have had the pleasure of opening your letters and reading them to her, and lrom your writing judge that you do not know that the brave and devoteu little daughter was shot, beaten and mangled equally with the father. Her right arm was shot through and through while endeavoring to shield her father. A whole charge of buckshot, which first struck the flat iron bars of a cell, struck her full in the face, filling it with chips of lead and burnt powder. _ She was struck in the face by some brutal nand which has blackened and disfigured it in a fear ful manner. She was also shot in the leg below the knee, and is now lying prostrate and helpless as an Infant, and nothing but the tenderest care and best surgical aid can save her arm and precious life. Her father is still alive but suffering intensely, yet we nave some hope of his final recovery. The house is being guarded by a few faithful friends and relatives, but we do not know at what hour tbe savage barba rians may renew the attack. You can do us all no more good at present than to lay the enormities of the massacre before the people of Washington and especially the President. To the above was added the following postscript in the handwriting of Mrs. Chisolm: “Our son, this heroic little Johnnie, was shot to death because he persisted in getting before his father for his defense.” I Despatch to the Associated Press.] Meridian, May 35.—Miss Cornelia Chisolm, who was wounded in the Kemper affray, died to-day of gangrene of the arm resulting from lack of prompt ■urgical attention.

THE PRESS. FRIRAY MORSIXG, MAY IS, 1877. THE PRESS May be obtained at the Periodical Depots of Fes senden Bros., Marquis, Brunei , 1877. Master Wentworth—Dear Sir,—I write to let you know that 1 am well, and hope these few lines will find you the same. 1 hope you will come down here this summer some time for I should like to see you very much. I should like to speak to you. If I had been a good boy while in your school I should be free now. If 1 had taken your advice and gone home when you met me at Haverhill 1 should not have been here today. You don’t know how many times I have regretted it. You do not know how glad I was to get a letter from you for you always give me good advice. I did not once see the goodness of it as I now do. Do not forget to answer this letter. From your humble servant, Llewellyn Bubier. lr regard to Winship, the fourth boy, l put the haudculfs on him wheu he had dangerous Weapons. Have detected him in preparing to attack the officers. I h^ve received several letters from him and neither of them indicate that he was used hard as Mr. Hilimau says. The last one received is as follows: Thomaston, April 7lh. Dear Friend—Mr. Wentworth, 1 have wished more than once thatl was back in ilie school aud uuder the influence of my dear old teacher. I used to think it was bard to study roy lessons and have a teacher watching me, but tlieto is nothing I would not giro to have the oppor tunity now. 1 wish 1 could bj among the boys once more and I would know how to give them good advice. My advice would be Iparu al 1 you can and obey your teacher. The boys who came down in my gang are all well Good by, Thomas E. Winsiiip. I never recommended to the trustees that Mr. Hillman be discharged. The school has been much improved since 1 came heie The food is better and the boys are bt tier clothed than formerly. The internal arrangements are much better and the sickness has not been as much this year as others by 25 per cent. There is but one shackle in the school and that has not been used since last June Mr. Hill man never visited but one sick boy in the school, and then not till asked to. The case re ferred to was where a boy was given up to die aud I asked him to talk with him, and he did so for a few moments. Was not his practice to visit the sick room at all. He simply held one service on Sunday and never assisted in devo tional exercises. Now we have clergymen from the city to hold service. Among tho num ber who have been here t think of Messrs. Hill, Gibbs. McWhiunie, Hincks and Burrage. We have from an hour and a half to two hours spent in Bible exercise now each Sabbatb, and rmnn n m r\n L Lotto n Turin ttt IUp Hill tn o n /li/1 not interest the boys and the subordinate offi cers listened to him very reluctantly. This closed the testimony, and Mr. VictoD, one of the trustees, asked to bo sworn as he had a statement to make. He said: The first intimation I had of these charges was last Friday when Mr. Adams spoke to me. He gave me a list of the names of those who if called upon would famish information in re gard to the matter and gave meja letter written by Tim Kennedy. Ithen decided to investigate the charges and gave permission to Mr. Adams to invite all who knew of the above to come forward and tell it. On Monday Kennedy and Hyde called on me and I took down their statements and told them to notify all whj knew anything of the matter to appear at the investigation, I have notified all I could get access to to appear and give testimony at this time. Have not notified by letter aDjone. Mr. Gould and 1 conferred and agreed that Mr. Hillman should receive a written notice, and he wrote it in my presence. Mr. G. has also notified others. Mr. Hillman called at my office and stated that there was harsh and inhuman treatment and thought it shonld be investigated. 1 asked him for the names of persons on whom I should call for facts and he gave me Ayer, Noyes and Fitch, former em ployes. He said Fitch would know as ho had been assistant superintendent, and he wanted me to see Mr. Fitch. I called on Mr. Gould and talked with him about it. We concluded to investigate. We decided to see Mr. Fitch at once and find out what he knew. A note was sent to him and the ntxt day he called, Mr. Gould, Mr. Fitch and myself were closeted for some hours. We told him why he was called and that Mr. Hillman had said he would give all the information wanted in the matter. He had several matters of complaint to make but in regard to cruel treatment he had net seen any. He said no boy had been punished in a manner he could condemn. In fact, he said that he didn’t think there was any bad treat ment. His complaints were simply ol a per sonal nature. As he knew of nothing harsh we decided to make no farther investigation. Since then the talk has been revived and hence this investigation. We have endeavored to make it thorough aud complete. We did not call all of Tim Kennedy’s witnesses from the fact that no one believed them. Mr. Gonld, the chairman of the board, stated that tlie interview with Mr. Fitch, which Mrq Vinton spoke of, was as stated. He then said-: I asked Mr. Fitch to come here to-day and tell the truth in regard to the whole matter, in dependent of what he had formerly stated. He was invited by a note aud verbally but did not promise either way. I told bim that it was his duty to appear for the public good and assist in settling the matter. 1 have invited all whom I thought knew of the affair to appear aud tell what they knew. The trustees were of the unanimous opinion that the eharges were disproved and they en tirely exonerated Mr. Wentworth, an 1 so the fizzle ended, Argus Reporting,—The Argus followed up ttssiu of omission in leaving out the decision of the trustees in its case against the Superinten dent of the Reform School by one of commis sion in "cooking” testimony. Incensed be cause the Press of Wednesday mentioned the name of the counsel for the prosecution in the Kennedy case who happened also to be a re porter of the Argus, it proceeded to charge the Press reporter with falsifying, aud justly thinking that it needed backing, and finding none, deliberately resolved to manufacture it. The Argus knew perfectly well against whom the Rev. Mr. Hillman’s charge of misrepresen tation was directed an! knew that it was not the Press repoiter, and it needs only a com parison of the following extract from that gen tleman’s testimony as "cooked” iu its office with the stenographer’s report of tbo same tes timony to show its utter unscrupulousness: (Argus Report.) Mr. Hillman then asked permission to cor rect an impression in regard to the statement that he was the prosecutor in this examination, as falsely stated by E. P. Mayo of tho Press. (Stenographer’s Report.) With your consent I should like very much to correct an impression which has been con veyed to the public, and it is that 1 am the prosecutor in this case. When 1 read it in the Press today I thought of what was recorded in regard to a certain miu’s talk, anciently. Not a word of truth in it, to put it in its verv mild est form. Aud that I was to conduct the case this afternooD, I think that came from the same source—spir'ts that do not tell the tiuth. Suspicious Death.—Last Monday Coroner Adams was notified that an illegitimate child of Maggie Dillon had died at the Alms House un der suspicious circumstances. Mr. Merrill said that he bad left the house with his wife last Sunday and on rttaming at night the child was dead. Early the next m irning an undertaker called at the house with tbe lather of the child and wished to bury it Al.\ Merrill refused to have the body buried aud the coroner was called.

TELE PRESS. [From the Maine State Press of May 17, 1877.] History of Seven Days. The News (or (he week ending Wednesday Night, May 1U. NATIONAL CAPITAL 'The people of Washington aro very indig nant at a lecture delivered by Fred. Douglass, Marshal of the District, iu Baltimore, in which he told some pretty plain truths about the cap ital. Mr. Douglass publishes a card, iu which he says the attacks upon him on account of re marks alleged to have been msde by him in Baltimore are both malicious and silly. Wash ington is a great city, not a village or a hamlet, but the capital of a great nation, and the man ners and habits of its vatious classes are proper subjects for presentation and criticisms; and therefore he very much mistakes if this great city can be thrown into a tempest of passion by any humorous reflections he may take the liberty to utter. Several thousand citizens, in cluding many business men, are said to have signed a petition askiDg the removal of Mr. Douglass. The syndicate have agreed to take §2,500,000 «f 4J per cent, bonds this month and 82,500,000 in June and pay gold for them, with the un derstanding that no five-twenty 0 per cent, bonds shall be called in to offset this sale. The jtohl so received will either be held for the pur pose of resumption in 1879, or if sold for legal tender notes, these notes will be held perma nently for the redemption of the fractional currency. The reply of the State Department to the formal notification by Turkey of the existence of war between that power and Kussia is brief and to the effect that the United States will continue fo occupy a strictly neutral position towards the belligerents. A similar reply will be furnished Russia which has communicated likejnformation. It is thought in official circles that undue im portance is attached to reports of fillibuster ing expeditions to invade Northern Mexico, as our government will enforce the neutrality laws with regard to Mexico as to any other power with which we are at peace. Instruc tions have been sent to our minister at Mexico who will give particular attention to the sub ject of raids into Texas for cattle stealing, with a view to their prevention. It has become a question how far our government shall go for the protection of our citizens on the border and for the punishment of the offenders. The feeling of the administration is that our citi zens must be protected and and the conduct of Gen, McKenzie four years ago may become a precedent for action in the future. CHIMES AKD CASUALTIES.

THE TCRKO-RUSSIAN WAR. The Russo-Turkish campaign has entered up on its fourth week. Heavy rains and bad roads have retarded operations on the Danube and the progress has not come up to general ex pectation. The most noticeable event of the artillery duel between the hostile armies is the sinking of a Turkish ironclad with three hun dred men. The several attempts of the Rus sians to cross the river have so far been defeat' ed, but a movement in force was hourly expect ed at last advices from the front. This attempt is likely to bring on a general engagement and the first pitched battle of tbs war in the Euro pean campaign. The Russians hold all the northern bank of the river from Oltenitza to the Kilia mouth. Kalafat, opposite Widden, is 4liA DAn mAn:nnn fPk„ D_:__ ment southward to secure strategic points on the Danube has been highly successful. But the difficulties in the way of crossing the river have become more noticeable as the campaign has progressed; and the Grand Duke Nicholas evidently realizes the necessity of having all his available strength concentrated and well in hand before an aggressive movement in force is undertaken. An important battle may be looked for before many days. The reported Russian victories in Asia Minor shrink into unimportant affairs as further de tails come in. Kars has not yet fallen and considerable sluggishness is observable in the movements of the Russians. They are doubt less waiting for reinforcements and preparing for a concentrated advance upon Rrzeroum, their objective point at this stage of the game. It is possible that the plan is to make a grand simultaneous movement on the Danube and in Armenia with the hope—though it may be a delusive one—of giving Turkey a stunning blow by a double victory. On Friday last the first great battle between the Russian and Turkish armies was fought in the vicinity of Batoum, and the result was dis astrous to the former. After a desperate con test, lasting for eight hours, iu which the Rus sians had more than 4,000 men killed or wound ed, they were compelled to abandon a heroic attempt to capture the heights defending Ba toum. While the success of the Turks was mainly due to the fact that most of their troops were entrenched and enabled to concentrate a deadly fire which could not be effectively re. turned, a body of Bashi-Bazouks displayed greot courage and skill in an attack upon the flank of the Russian column, aud thus ren dered the work of slaughter complete. A correspondent of the London Telegraph at Batoum, who gets his information from Turk isli sources, gives this description of tli9 battle About o’clock this moruiug tlio Russian forci s which had been largely augmented for the pur pose, advanced with batteries of field artillery, aud made a furious attack upon the hights de fending Batourn on the land side, which were occupied by Bashi-Bazouks. The Ottoman troops were entrenched in the usual effective manner upon the slopes and ledges of these hills, and upon the advauce of the enemy they opened on his columns a terrible and well-sus tained fire of cannon and musketry, which lit erally mowed the Russians down in swaths. They fell by scores and hundreds on the plain below the Turkish positions. During their at tempts to make way against this fire a body of Turkish horse and foot, taking advantage of a thick forest, broke forth upon the flank of the Russian column and effeclcd great slaughter. The Muscovites being upon the ground perfect ly open, and having no choice but to fight or fly, in a short time the spot which was the scene of this fiauk movement became covered with dead aud dying Russians. But the enemy quickly brought up reinforcements and the bat tle was renewed with much determination. For many hours the efforts of the assailants were desperately maintained, but toward midday their artillery fire gradually slackened and they at length withdrew. The victory was won by the extraordinary courage of the Bashi-Bazouks. The dead and wounded Russians exceed 4000. The engage ment lasted over eight hours of actual fighting. The last Russians did not withdraw until near midnight. The Russians lost many guns. The only Turkish officer killed was Ivhaliin Bey, major of irregulars. Au eye-witness testifies that the Ottoman soldiers behaved admirably. They had, how ever, during a great part of the action, the ad vantage of entrenchments on high grouud, aud it is due to this fact, no doubt, that their losses when compared to those of tho Russians are insignificant. Another success was gained by the Turks in Asia Monday. Admiral Hassan Pasha after bombarding the fortifications of Sookgoom-Kale landed a num-te: of soldiers, who were immediately joined by 3000 natives. A violent combat ensued. The Russians were driven out of Sookgoom Kale Tuesday. Upwards of 10,000 natives joined the Turkish forces, who hold the fortifications. The town is in flames. All the surrounding country Is rising in support of the Turks. Tele graph communication between Constantinople and Kars via Ezeroum remains intact. A Constantinople despatch says a Russian ___UU_1__,1_v!11_1...V it. Danube and entered the Dobrudscha. The correspondent of the London News says the Russian army for actual operations now numbers nine corps. Only two ate destined for the Dobrudscha. The main body, accord ing to military calculations, will cross near Giurgevo and move southeast toward Varna. The front will be covered by ten regiments of Cossacks. Gladstone’s resolutions were rejected in the British Commons 351 to 223, and the amend ment offered by Sir Henry Wolff to the effect that the House declines to entertain any resolu tion which may embarrass the government iu its maintenance of peace and protection of Brit ish interests without indicating any alternative line of policy was adopted without division. There is still much excitsment in England, and the goaernment is prepared to embark 60,000 men at short notice. The radicals are angry at what they term the mutilation and emasculation of Mr. Gladstone’s policy. They say Mr. Cross’ speech declares a neutrality benevolent towards Turkey and hostile towards Russia; that the policy of the liberal leaders is a policy of regrets and hopes which includes no appeal to popular sympathy and which must go to the wall. The Pall Mall Gazette, In discussing the Eu ropean situation says: “What so long agitated the country is no more a question of Turkish misrule, Bulgarian suffering, Russian sympathy and British jealousy or good will. England alone of all Europe has failed to comprehend or wilfully ignored this view of the case, that we have to deal with not so much reform of Turk ish institutions as a threatened re-distribution of power throughout the world.” The insurrection in the Caucasus is far from being put down. It causes the Russian govern ment much anxiety and inconvenience and threatens to increase. There is also much un easiness in Poland, and a rising there is feared. The Turkish Chamber of Deputies has voted au uuulvss luauamg tae x>rnisu governmeni lor the reply to Gortschakoff’s circular. The ad dress will be delivered to Mr. Layard. The Vienna correspondent of the London News says: I have read a letter from a person some years in close connection with the Turk ish government circles, which says the Grand Vizier is losing his head, and Safvet Pasha is at a a loss vrhat to do. Frequent councils have been held, at which already hints have been thrown oat as to as to whether it would not be better to treat with the Russians before they cross the Danube. The correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette at Constantinople writes May 4th, ‘'The dis count on Turkish paper money continues to advance and with it the price of provisions, lhus engendering a more pronounced feeling o£ discontent than heretofore prevailed. If aDy great military disaster should occur, I should be apprehensive of bread riots of a serious char acter.” The deposition of the Prince Milan of Ser via will probably occur soon. Russia is begin ning to recognize that his dynasty cannot be much longer maintained and favors the Prince of Montenegro as his successor. Servia also approves of Nicholas while Austria is intrigu ing in favor of Kisyageorgerich. Austria and especially Hungary would fight rather than permit the establishment of a Slavonic kingdom by the union of Montenegro and Sarvia. OTHER FOREIGN NEWS. Gen.

HEATING STOVE. (Centennial Medal*) Portland, Me May 2, 1877, Mr. ALLEN K. BANGS, Gen. Agent, Dear Sir:—I have given vour Florence Oil Stove a thorough trial, and find it all you clai m it to he. I am pleased to say that it has done our cooking quicker and very much better than our range ever did it. There is a nure and even bent in the oven which can be relied on always, aud the admir able manner in which it bakes biscuit, cake, pies, roasts meats, tish &c., and broils steak, etc., is surely unsurpassed. 1 consider it indispensible during the summer months, as it does all the cooking necessary tor any family without heating the rooms like a cook stove. It will ilo its work just as well in a baek entry or shed as it will in the kitchen, In cold weather it warms the rooms and throws out a soft mellow light, which, in the evening is very restful to the eyes, and is quite sufficient for all ordinary re quirements. It gives the room a cheerful look and is quite as cosy of an eveniug as an open tiro place It will pop corn splendidly, and l do not doubt there are very many other things which it will do that I have not discovered as yet.. There is not the slightest odor of kerosene from it, cither in tlio room, in the oven directly over the llame or h; least taste of oil or smoke in any ot the victuals which it cooks. I am pleased to add my testimony as to its excel lence in everything you claim for it. Yours Tiiily D. C. SHAW, Ass’t Man'.ger Western Union Telegraph, Portland, Me.
