More than 100 Bulgarian towns have been utterly destroyed, although no pretext of revolu- tionary movement existed in regard to more than five or eix of these. A Province formerly bringing in a revenue of a million of pounds to the Government has been devastated. The names of these towns and all the particulars can be furnished to any one who wishes to see them. 2. At least 25,000 unarmed 2nd inoffensive peo- ple have been maseacred in cold blood. According 10 the Turkish papers of Constentinople, at “least 40,000. 3. More than 1,000 Bulgarianchildren have been taken and sold as elaves. They have been sold pi:ibl.h;ly in the streets of Adrianople and Philipop~ olis. 4. Horrible tortures of cveg been inflicted on thousands of those not murdered. 5.

Long live Liberty and the union of the Balkan peoples! ‘A DECLARATION BY THE FRINCE OF MONTENE- . GRO. Prince Nikita hus sent a declaration to the Great Powers, in which he explains his conduct. The declaration is dated July 2. The Prince begins by saying thdt at the outbreak of the in- surrection tne Great Powers asked him to re- frain from taking part in it, in order not to complicate matters. He appeals to the testi- wony of the Powers thut he has followed their advice readily, in consideration of their promise to exert themselves in favor of the Christians, and that now a year had passed without much progress having been made with the pucification. He therefore addressed a let- ter to the Powers on the 26th of April, old vle (the Sth of May), representing to them how his position was becoming daily morc untenable. The insurrection en- tailed heavy sacrifices upon him. - The Iung continuativn of the struggle on his fronticr ha more and more cxcited the spirit of his own people, while the Turks, far from nppreuintiu% this loyal attitude, were collecting more and more ~ forces, and shutting him up in his mountains. He asked the Powers, there- fore, to interfcre, as else he_ could mnot pr()?flse that the struggle would nof take larger proportions. While he addressed this appeal to the Powers, the Powers themselves made a step in the same direction by the Berlin Confer- ence, and its stipulations. ~He says those who were mot' on the spot can have no idea of the satisfaction with which these stipulations of Berlin, which proved the interest of -the Powers in the Christinn cause, were received by the peo‘fle, but from reasons probably of higher political considerations, which he does not feel called upon to judge, this act of the Powers yas indefinitely adjourned, and in conscquence of this withdrawal of the Powers he has' been placed in the position of not being ‘able to keep back his people any longer. If he resisted) they would go without him, €0 he preferred to put himself at their head, and thug to preserve the only authority which_has any sway over them. He prefers taking the initiative to waiting until the Turks, baving overcome their other difficulties, should come down upon him and try to ex- tinguish that independence which acts'as & bad example to their subject population. The declaration is couched in dignified lan- g\m‘ie, and is not wanting in u certain tone of truth and conviction. e GREAT BRITAIN, THE ROWERS.

CrxcrNNaT, O., July 22.—At the funeral of George E. Pugh to-day, Archbishop Purcell, in the course of his remarks at 8t. Xavier's Church, said: 5 George Pugh wa g0 devoted ‘to the Fope that, when I came back from Rome, heesid to me: ** What made you think it inopportune to proclaim the Pope's infalibilitys Why did you not join in proclaiming it and assert Lreplied: **W victions. ~ T have always believ I wfallibility of tho Pope, but thought it not oppgrtune at thit moment .to proclaim it.’ So with regard to the inmaculaie conception. Mr. Pugh suid he did not uderstand that. 1 re- marked that the doctrinemeant, ‘' That as Eve, our first mother, was horn immaculate und came without epot or blemish from the plastic hand of God, 80 our true, spiritual nother was immacalate; that T understood this did_pot wean she was born as Christ was, but born like other women, thougl frec from original sin as deing destined fo be the mother of Christ.” Br, Pugh expressed himself eatisfled with the explanation, ~ When I was in Rome Mr.! Pugh scnt me 2,000 or 2,500 francs, to be placed as I ehould deem best in the interests of “religion, but expressinz a desire that the Pope should 'be considered, and 1 transmitted 1,000 francs in gold to His IToliness, of which Mr. Pagh himself received theacknowledgment. ~ Atanother time, without my solicitasion” (for I mever solicit such favors), he obtained for me from another citi- zen a gold chain and cross, iwhich I afterward gave to the orphans, to obtain for him that grace which lam sure he hos received, ; Beloved friends: It is with exceeding reluctance that we cunnot approve the burial of any of our members in other than consecruted ground. Onc of the most intelligent, pions, and devoted of Catholic American wowmen, Mrs. Satah Peter, the American Queen she deserves to be considered, hus built a beautifol obitusry chopel on our con- sccretated graveyard. She was the godmother of Mr. Pagh, and hic was anxious to remove the re- mains of his wife and child to thut conaecrated cemetery; but his occupations were such as ‘1o “interfere with his carrying in- to effect this design. Of conrse we in the Catholic Church couid not interferc with the rights or feelings of anybody, Catholic or Protest- ant, but we do wish all oor p#pleshould be buricd in consecrated ground. And why so? Because it I8 an old-time rule of onr Chureh, and you will see the reason the Church has for this ensctment. Every scholar knows how mzny feuds there was among the people, tribe against tribe, and family against family, and the Church, to provide aguinst this ' state of things, and put down dueling, made the law that mo onc falling in _a duel, no incendiary, no murderer or robber killed in an act should be buried in consecrated ground. There was no bigotry in this. Tt was-to prevent theae crimes. If s mun wunts to be in good company in the cemes tery and fn Heaven he sheald live and die a good Cafholic. 'The worst man who eyer lived and dies,—the worst_mun be buried else- where. Mr. snd be wished his to the consecrated groupd, We do not bless graves in 3 cemetery that is not consecrated. We wish wecould please our feliow-citizens of every de- nomination. We can go a5 far as the altar, but do not go beyond that. " We have our cemetery park where . M7, Rewben Springers and others have thélr family vaults,” and there Mr. Pugh would like his ' remains to be. Mr. Pagh was sometimes asked why he did not”join the communion of the Protestant Church, there being uo great men belonging to the Catholic Charch. Well, he was a great 1nan him- self, and he belonged to that Church. 1 attended Scnator Ewing in “his last hoors, and heard him give the homage of high and broad intellect to the trath of the Catholic religion, His remark was that, testing it by the great fact of ci i what othier relizion conld compare with the civi its_opportuneness?’ fiwed my con- zation developed by the (Catholic religion? ‘“This i proof emough,’ he sald, **for me." There was Dr. Brownson, the American philospher, and other great men in the Catholic Church who could be enumerated, The memory of Mr. Pugh would never suffer any dis- grace whea hie was found in such company. At the conclusion of the discourse theburial service was read, and the coflin was then re- moved by the pall-bearers to the door of the church, where the asscmbled visitors, as they passed, took a farewell look at the familiar countenance of its occupant.

SLASHING MATOH, Another muraerous affray transpired in the North Division last evening, and, should it not result in at least one death, it is more the result of the hardihood 'and health- fulness of the injured man than any laxity of malcionsness on the part of his as- sailant. The participants were Michacl Haley, one of the cheap employes in the service of Ald.

"It incnrs that Hen- nessey’s_father-io-law, an old man Damed Michael Murphy, had some dispute with Haley last Friday night, during which, Murphy claims, Haley grossly insulted him, Tt ivas with o view of avenging this insult that Hennésscy last night accosted Haley in {ront of the latter’s residence, and challenged him to combat, in case he failed tomakeample reparation for the in- eult. Wordsbecame hotterand hotter, and blows commenced to rain down, until Haley finding himself being badly worsted, drew a pockef- knife and slaghed Hennessey in the back three times, The same cowardly trick was also re- sorted to by Hennessey, who drew a large knife and carved Halcy deep in the abdomen. Had nat bystandersinterfered, both men, having the grit of bulldogs, would probably have cuteach ather into ribbons. As it was Hennessey was found to have received three dangerous wounds upon the_back, the lormest, a deep gashof3 iaches in length, dircctly beneath the left _shoulder-blade. The other two wounds were smaller, and were glauces upon the ribs. Hzley was cut deeply, but not denger- ously, in the abdomen. Dr. Heydock attended both men, and was of the opinion that Hennes- £ey’s wonnds were very severe,and might result fatally. At miduight the wounds burst open anew; the physichn was again ealled, ond found the patient very low, and in a much more dangerous condition. Both are marricd men, and have families. 5 THE POLICE.

But the Repub- lican party had interfered with elections and had disfranchised persons. He wanted to have an honest clection.

Speaker Kerr's kindness hag dignified Morrison with the prominence that he would mever gain by bis own abilities, and he has been able to manipulate two or threg members on the Banking and Currency Commit- tee—notably Wike and Gibson. Before the S, Louis Convention the New York Democrats and Tilden’s backers fclt that spme slizht concession would have to be made to the Western men, and the resumption cpeal plank was put in the plat- form. The Western Democrats,. headed by the Cing mati Enguirer, accep! gracefully that Hewitt-and ted the situation so ‘Willis, Tilden’s tooly and managérs, were agrecably surprised, and concluded it would not be out the St. Louis platform, but ‘Western men had taken so necessary . to camy. t that asthe kindiy to crow they could be fed on mud as a regular dict, henca the cowardly and rascally course of the Banking and’ Currency Committec.

To-l: terviews with Gibson, W Liberai Committee, and the response, which is in entire harmony with my own views, is almost. unanimous to annul the call for the National Conrvention above referred to, and to approve, in the name of the Libernl Republicans of the United States, of the nominations of Ruther. ford B. Hayes, of Obio, for President, and of William A Wheeler, of New York, for Vice P:Itsldnu% e £ the I t is a lcgical result of the Liberal movement ~that those who still adhere to it should at :hxes’ time cordially support Hayes and Wheeler. More decided than the platform upon which he stands, Gen.

If the Liberzls in 157 sus- tained Horuce Greeley, who was the foremost Republican of his day,becanse he was an upseli- ish patriot and an honest man, they must now sustain Gen.
