TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1876, Greenbacks ot the New York Gold Ex- chiange yesterday closed nt 901 Wo are told on the highest authority that clear or clenring weather with slightly lower temperaturo will be oxperionced in this rogion to-day. Extensive arrangements have beon made for n grand Republican demoustration to-day on the old Tippecanoce Battle-Ground, near Lafayette, Ind, NewroN Boorm, James G. Brawve, Bex Hannisoy, Ropent G. LiNcony, and Gen. Knratmox aro to deliver the speechios. . The Commission appointed by Congress to investigato and report upon the workings of the fast-mail service established in Soptem- ber, 1874, and discontinued in July last by renson of the refuspl of tho Iouse to make tho necessary approprintion, is pursuing its inquiries in Chicogo with the purposs of nscortnining the views of our business men o to tho valuo and importance of the sor- wvice in this city. It will doubtless be found that Chicngo is strongly in favor of tho re. establishimont of the fast-mail trains, A suspennion of hostilities hay beon or- @ered in the war between the Mayor and the ownors of streot-signs that had come under the ban. The Common Council proposes during the armistice to formulnte the terms of a pormanent peaco in tho shape of are- vised and amended ordinance relating to the rubject of signs, Pending action by the Council, tho Mayor is by resolution request- ed to respect the truce nnd commit no overt set not ossential to tho peace and security of tha city. The Common Council hias refused tho np- plication of the Health Commissioner for n coips of men to hunt up the origin of the Bridgoport stench nuisance, upon the theo- ry, doubtless, that what is nceded is bettor noges, not more of them, If Dr. McVick- AR's sanitary policemen ave so deficiont in olfactory ncutoness as to be unablo to trace out the shocking odors complained of, it might be well to employ in their places a Tow sct of officers whoso senso of smell has not been obliternted by long familiarity with tho stench and the proprictors of the places from which it originntes. If n new deal throughout is necessary in tho Henlth De- partment in order to succossfully solve the wmal-odorous problem, by all meaus let us bavo it Through ndvices forwarded to the Repub- Yican Congressional Committee in Washing- ton, reliable information is furnished of the atrocious performnnces of the Tildenites in WMississippi und Bouth Carolina.” The plan of intimidation through a frequent resort to murder whenever tho colored Republicaus bocomoe 60 bold as to hold political mneetings is pursued so systemntically as to denote o thorough understauding and agreo- ment among the Democratic managers in tho South coucerning the eonduct of tho campnign, Scarcely a day passes that docs not witness the breaking up of some Republiean meoting and the killing and wounding of negroos by tho Confoderates, In South Carolina & member of tho Buruen fawily of bLutchers is at the head of a band of white men who patrol the county and fire upon negroes wherever found, and in this manner is the injunction in the TLoeN cir- cular obeyed—to ‘‘ecarry overy Southern Blate ot all bazards.” Every sensiblo, God-fearing man instinct. ively realizes the futility of attempting to tlhwart Lhe decroes of Providence. Yot in theso latter doys it has como to pdua thata tribunal of Providence, . I., has givonu docision which will bo littla relished by the individual who recently bonrded the Demo- oratic dog-cart ot 8t, Louls and assumed tho ribbons. The decision referred to is an in- cowe tax case whorein the Government sucd to rocover thé snm of §17,4561,, which the defendont, ono Rouanp G, IHazamp, fuiled to pay the Govornment in 1868, Couusel for Hazanpclaimed that his client had pald the tax nssessed by tha Assessor with 60 per cent pewalty, snd that this sotion barred tho Collector of the prosent clainm, ‘Tho Court iy, howover, of a different opin- jon, and decides that tho claim is regular, and the- chouces are that the sum will go to swell the receipts of tho National Treasury. Mr. Baaves J. Tiupex will now undoubtedly roalize to its fullest cxtent the trouble he has brought upon himsolf by his Hazano. ous experiment of a similar character in tho year 1862, The Ohicago produce markets wore moder. slely uctive on pruiu yesterday, and dull on ions, Mets pork elosed » shudo higher, for October sud $14.70 for the year.

TiLpeN asChairman of the Demo- cratio Central Committeo in New York, in- structing tho subordinates throughout the State to make an enrly and accurntoroturn of ihe mnjorities to T'wEED, so that it might bo lmown how large a fraudulent Democratic majority wns necessary in New York City to overcome the honest Republican majority in hd State, the same, viz.: frouds in ordet to nssuro Democratic suc.

On this basis, s the circular indicates, it will be necessary to *carry every Southern State at all hazards" in order to elect him, for the “golid voto” of the 16 Southeru States will 0dd 138 to the 60 out of which the scoundrels of Now York Oity propose to swindle tho people of Now York Stato, Cornecticut, and Now Jersoy, mpking in all 188 votes, or just threo more than nre nocessary to elect.

The danger {s imminent whon it is confessed that Demooratio success con ouly be attained by a rounion of all the Con. fuderates on their old basis of hatred to the North and their old policy of *rule or ruin,” The TiLoeN circular appeals to the worst surviving sentiments of the Confederate Bouth. *The stake,” it says, ‘*to be played for on I'uesduy, Nov. 7, is the possession of the Gueernment; and it can bo won." * Give us a solid Southern vote at all kicards,” it odds, “oud sll witl be right,” Wo fearnot.

The apprehension of such a re- sult is by no means allayed by the TmomN circular to tho South. e NEW YORE. In all the party caleulations of Democeatio politicians they put down the Stato of Now York ns certain for Titpen and IHENpnicks, and the Republican politicians rarely venturo to place it highor on their side than * doubt- ful.* This confidonce on tho ono side and concession on tho other are cauged by tho great majority by which Trupex was elected Governor in 1874, which is popularly sup- posed to bo upwards of 50,000; and tho «question naturally arises, How is so large an advorso vote to be overcomo? But. the caso is not ns bad ns this showing scoms to make it. In the first place, TiLpEN was not olected by 60,000 majority in 1874, nor by 40,000, Iore is the votas Tilden, Dem.oae Dix, Rep....

But 1874 was tho **tidal wave” year when overything was agninst the Republicans, Last year that *‘wavo" lind nearly subsided in New York, and by this timo it is henving up on the Republican side. Iero is tho vote last fall with TrupEN Governor, and tho onormous patronage of tho State at his disposal s Secretary of Stato—Democrat.

Leaving ont the Temperanco vote, the Demoeratio majority was only 14,810 over the Republicans, which shows o loss of nearly 86,000 on’that secured the yoar before, and tho Democrats worked just s hard as they could to roil up the former mnjority. TiLDEN received at least 26,000 * Liboral Republican®” votes in 1874; Inst fall his party probably retained half of them; this fall they will not Lold & per cent of tho Liberals. In 1874 thero wora not less than 60,000 Republicans who absonted them- solves from the polls, wherens the Democrats brought out nearly their full strength and received the large Liberal reinforcomont be- wides, which they havo since lost.

This increaso ropresouts just about the number of Liberal votes for Trozn that year, oll of which are now going for Haxea, Tho highest Presidentinl vote over cast by tho Democrats in Now York was for Seyaoun, in 1868, which was 420,883, and that wns whon tho enormous frauds wero porpotrated in the- Cities of New York aud Brooklyn, whereby Sevmoun's vote was swollen more than 40,000 by bogus ballots and forged nat~ urnlization popors. This fall tho Re- publican voters -of Now York are united, harmonious, and all pulling to- gethier, Heckoning the natural incroase of Ropubliean voters in the last four yoars at 40,000, which istho same as betweon 1868 and 1872, Gov. Hayes' will receive 470,000 votes, 'To bent tiis, Trzoex will have to in- crense his vote this fall ovor that which he received ton yenrs ugo--54,000; ond that, too, after losing the 25,000 Liberals who voted for him in 1874, and who are now sup- porting Haves, We do not believe ho cun begin to poll that vote. o isnot going to get 53,000 mnjority in Now York and Brooklyn this fall s ho did in 1874; ho will do well if e receives holf that mnjority in thoso cities. Tho October elections in Ohio and Indiana will of course exercise consider- ablo influence on the result in Now York ; but if the Republicans carry ono of them, TiLoEy will be whipped in New York in November. THE REVENUE OF CHICAGO. The latest form of assault upon tho credit of this city is in n pleo, filed by various per. sons as & reason why thoy should not pay taxes on their proporty, to the efect that what is known to the law as township organ- ization in this county has been abolished by the new Constitution, and hence the County Trensurer is not tho proper officer to collect tho taxes, Tho plen s not that the taxes were lovied for an improper or illegal pur. pose, that the proceodings were fraudulont, or tho tax unjust or unoqual, or that the property was not fairly rosponsible for'the tax, or that tho Treasuror’s roceipt for taxes would not bo an ample dofense ; but the plea was that these persons did not want to pay any tax, but wanted to have their taxes paid for them by tho public, and therefore they complained that township organiza. tion bad been abolished, and that they could not consolentiously recog- nize the County "U'reasurer as colleotor of taves, Bo they refuscil to pay their taxes, and, when judgment was givon against the property, they appealed to the Supreme Court. That Court, overwhelmed with busi. neks, is now hearing learned arguments, and will hnve to determine the question whether some G0 or GO persons in Chicago cap law- fuily claim exemption from taxation because the County Collector, who has collected all the rest of tho taxes, is tho County T'rensurer, and not somse other officer, It is one of tho aflictions of this city that tho dotermination of overy question, polit- ical, moral, and roligious, arising under the law, is tested by o refusal of political dend- beats to pay their taxes, Boit is in this case. These peoplo hiave not tho remotest interest in the question whether township organiza~ tion has or has not been sbolished, ex- copt that the doubt furnishes & pro- text for non.poymont of taxes, Theso objections to paying taxes, if they wero of o character affecting the merits of the tax, and of a character arresting the collection of any part of tho tax from auy person, would prove very distasteful to these objeotors, They do not want all taxes defeated ; thoy want all the protections, Lenefits, comforts, and ad- vantages of government ; ghey want paved and clean streets, lighted thoroughfares, abundanco of water, amplo sewerago, au effective Firo Dopartment and police, and publio schools and library, Thoy want all these thiugs, but they do mot want to pay for them ; they would not bo deprived of auy of thoss things for tho world, but they +.300,211 5,301 0,074 want the genaral publie to pay for them, and rolenso these tax-fighters, The Constitution created two classes of conntics,~thoso nunder township organiza. tion and those not nnder that organization, —~nnd provided a governmont for each class. The sama Constitution provided a govern- ment for Cook County which diffora from oither of the other alasses of county gov- ernments. 8o far as the Constitution cstab. lishea a differenco, logislation hns takon place, but how far other logislation was needed is an open question. The county is govorned as it wna before the adoption of tho Constitution, oxcopt as that government wna direotly modified by the Conslitution. All existing governmonts continuo until tho new one is put in oporation; governments do not riso and fall withont some provisions of law. 'Tho oxisting government may have baen legally superseded, but until a new ono is provided and put in operation the old ons continues, and its nots aro valid, It is the de facto govornment. For the court to inter- foro and set aside all the taxes jmposed in Cook County for the support of the State and county, and for the City of Chicago, be- causo no new form of government has beon eracted here, would bo canseless, but none tho less destructivo revolution. It would an- nihilate all government in this city and county; would annihilate publio credit; would destroy all nuthority, including tho courts, and all civil and judicidl officers, by destroying tho only menns of supporting any kind of authority. Thera may or may not bo somo Iatent forcs in tho objection that the form of government in this county has not been porfoctod; but that there is and has bLeen a government here in continuation of its predecossor is n legal faot, covering tho government of this city and county for sov- ornl years. Whatever forco thero may be in this objection will not bo recognized by a court in an application of this kind, which ia meroly on attempt to escapa payment of taxes, the justice and legal purpose of which aro not questioned. 2y Tho citizen who fecls aggrieved at tho magnitudo of his tax-bill should bear in mind that ho is annually taxed not only to poy his own taxes, but a proportion of tho taxos of those other peoplo who oseape taxes by techuical ploas before the courts. Thero aro now city nud county taxes amounting to nearly $2,000,000 from which theso people have by these mensns oscaped, snd which sum has to Lo mnde good by extra taxation onthe proporty of all others. Every yoar adds to this practice and to this burden, All this is lnrgely duc to tha defeots in the Rovonue law. . Nover in the history of the city has Chi- cago stood 8o much in need of a representa- tion nt Springficld composed of the very best and most experienced citizens. Such n dele- gation, personnlly worthy of the respect and confidence of tho membors of the Genornl Assembly, will baablo to secure such modi- fientions of the law ns will afford some rolief to tho cmbarrassed city, will enablo it tore- cover this $2,000,000 of unpaid taxes, and provent a repotition of this perpotunl nssault upon the collection of tha publie revenua. 8hall we have such representatives? The Domocratio party, out of 24 persons nomi- nated ns Senntors and Reprosontatives, hes namod but three persons having tho loast fitness for the office. Will the Republicans sack publio favor by selecting another and n superior clnss of men? Wil tho conventions provoke and invite the union of the respecta. blo aud tax-paying citizens of all parties to unito in tho sclection of a complate ticket of legislative candidates who will be not only competent mgn, but such mon ns the pocu. linr circumstances of the ecity at this time require? i TILDEN'S8 EXTRACT OF COFFEE, Tho standing question of the presont cam- paign has been from the very outset, What single aet did Samuer J. TiLveN perform for tho Union or for the soldior§, when the Republio was threatened with disruption? ‘I'he question hns beon repentedly asked, but nover answerod. It hias not boen difficult to find what he did in opposition to the Gov. ernment or what he did to Lelp the South, His efforts in this direction crop out con. tinually all along tho history of the War. But what he did to help tho Government hax beon what ““no fellow could find out."” Mr, Hewrrr, Manton Manoue, Mr, Donsnener, all tho Democrats in and out of Congress, ond all tho Demooratic nowspopers, have hunted the War records from the firing on Sumter down to the conclusion of poace, and have not yot boon nble to find that he over spoke a word for the Governmout, attended a Union meeting, or gave one red cent to the causo, Ithns beon reserved for the New York 7Times to make the startling discovery at Inst thnt on one occasion he nobly and bravely came forward to help savo his coun- try, with his pen in one hand and his broth- er's coffee-bag in tho other, The 'Army of tho Potomao was in danger of losing its extract of coffeo, Samvern J, Twwpen's brother hind been fur. nishing the coffes, Bome ruthless rival in the coffeo business had intorfored. Samuen J, ‘C1zoex rushed in and fought nobly for ‘my brother's extract.” In 1861, BistoN Oanmgrow, then Secrotary of War, issucd the following ordor: Wan DEranTMENT, Oct, 1, 1801, —81n1: Yon will publish forthwith 3 gencral order authorizing all regiments in the servico to mako, st thelr own op- tlon, through thelr regimental commienaries, requisitions for TiLDEN'Y pure extract of cotfee, In len of tho present nllowance of sugar and coflee. Desirous at all times to do all Inmy powerto contribute to the comfort aud wolfare of the troups, and belleving that the introduction of this lmproved preparation into the army would une doubtedly tend directly to this result, I will thank you to give your curlivet attention to the muttor, 1 havo the honor to be, respectfully, SimoN Cangion, Becrotary of War, Col, Tarron, Chief of Burcau of Subalstence, ‘Lhe oxtract was placed in ume, and tho Tiroex family disposed of suflicient of their patriotio beverngo to amount to 15,681, The extract was working fincly, when an. other patriot with an extract appeared, Ou the 6th of Decomber, 1861, J, P, Tavion, Comuissary-General of Subaistenco, issucd to the Assistant Commissary-General in Now York this order: * Colonel, until further instructions, muko no purchases of the ex- tract of coffve,” Then Mr. Tiupey sat him. self down to writo n lotter to Brucon Oanz. noN, Ina groat emergency he nlways writes alotter, Tio rushed with pen aud ink to the defonse of * my brother's extract,” Ile was full of patriotism, from the coffee stand. point. There was nothing like the extract. ‘fhero was millions in it. Fifty rogi- ments wero yoarning for it, Tho rival coffee man was o traitor in disguise. The "I1eoeN fpily had tho ouly patriotio **ex- tract,” and they were ready to lay themsclves as a socrifico on the altar of their country, provided they could keep on furnishing * the extract.” Dub it wos of no avail, Mr. Tie- pEN'S devotion to his country lasted from Oct. 1, 1861, to Oct. G, 1661, Just fivo days, Lis devotion being contained in 687 cases of *“tho extract,” amounting to 815,631 and sowo ceuts, Thon Mr, 'LrLpex's spark of patriotism expired. Four years later he do- olared the War a failure. How could it have boen othorwiss when ths troops wero mno Tonger fed on *“my brother's extract "2 With. ont the stimnlus of **my brother's" chicory, the nutrition of ‘“‘my brothor's” milk, and the hygenie of ‘‘my brothor'a” sugar, all concentrated in ‘‘my brother'a extract,” what wonder that the War was pro. longed four yeara? But, lotting bygonos bo bygones, forgetting all tho misory and dis~ astor to both sections that followad tho dis. continuanca of ‘‘my brother's oxtract,” be- causo the supply was not up to the sample gs it is rumored, there i room for congratu. Iation thnt Samuen J. Tipen rerved his country on **my brother's” account for five days, and would have served it longer had *the extract” beon kept in uso; that during tho five days' servico ‘‘my brother” gotin 587 cnsos of “‘the oxtract”; and that the Troes family's patriotism cost the Govorn. ment 315,631, THE SULLIVAN IKDICTMENT. A good many people wero satonished yes- terday to learn of n movement in tho Grand Jury room to reconsider the indictment found early in the month against Avexaxpen Bur~ L1vAN for the murder of Haxronp, Onoof the jurors brought the question up in court, and JudgoeRooens said that hocould only entertain it when a reconsiderntion should be formally presented to him by a majority vota of tho Grand Jury. Whether the movement will bo pushedto scoure suchavote inthe Grand Jury room cannot bs known, but there is reason to heliove the Court will deny the right of the jury to withdraw tho indictment even if thoy voto to do 80, An admitted practico of this kind would be linblo to great abuse, and would make the Grand Jury morely a blackmailing institution. There would bo o temptation to indict citizens in ordor to reconsider the action for pay. An offender against the law might at any time hopo to escapo even a trial by buying up twelvo membora of n Grand Jury after he learned that an indictment had been found agninst him, If Sunrivax ean show that he was only guilty of mauslaughter under the law in killing ITavronp, the indictment for murdor will not convict him of the greater offense, As wo understand the law, the caso is now under control of the State's Attornoy, who nlone has the power to withdraw or dis. miss it. Of course ho will not consent, ns tho representativo of the peoplo, to do either one or the other. CHEAP RAILWAY TRANSPORTATION. The *‘railroad war,” as it is oalled, has been of great practical benefit to the country, and in this benefit the railronds thentsolves lave liberally shared. The opening of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad to Ohicago was the opening of another trunk rmlway from tho Wost to tho East. That road was out of debt, had n surplus groater thau its capital, nod had tho shortost line. It bonsted of its ability to perform railway servico profitably at less rates than nny of its overburdened competitors, and its completion wns wel- comod by the whole people of the Valloy of the Mississippl, The cheap rates wero eatablishod by that road, sud the Company was applauded accordingly until it wag.dis- covered that tho Baltimore & Ohio had mere- ly rosorted to that scrvice to compel tho other trunk ronds to ndmit it to a combina. tion froth which it hiad beon previously ex- cluded. As soon ns tho combination was opened to it, it went in with nll the earnestness and gratification of a vetoran monopolist. Tho era of tho pool and milenge rates followed, whichlasted until the Vaxpenrpinr managors discoverad that their businoss was going by the shortor routes to the nearest points, Vaxpemsiur, of course, ropudiated this losiug businoss, and estab- lished tho only just and equitablo rule, and cortainly tho only one by which Now York can hope to rotain ita trade, The Vaxpes- piur route is, in miles, longer from Olicago to New York than any of the other lines, but be hans discardgd the milengo theory, and offers to take freights to and from Chieago and Now York at a8 low o rate as they aro carriod betweon Chicago and nuy other Enst arn city, ‘Tho New York Coatral Railrond add its connections, though 76 miles longer than eithor of tha other routes, has the ad. vantage of avoidingall mountain grades and of running through a lovel country, Through Now York it is provided with four tracks, 'The Baltimore and the Philadelphin liues have tho disndvautage of passing through the mountain districts with the heavy grades. The facilitics and inexpensivencss of hand- ling grain in Philudelphia and Baltimore, and the cheapness of coal, ave, it is claimed, offset by the commercial advantages of Now York Oity, and the ability to haul larger trains, At all ovounts, VavpsoiLt claims that at tho same sum per ton from any point it is to tho ndvantage of tho shippor to use his lines in preference to thoso leading to othor cities, We assume that, by’ ostablish. ing this lino of policy, ho hias beon rocover- ing a portion of the trado which had been directed to other points, and hos been re- taining for New York other trado that threatened at one timo to abaudon that city. Wo aro confirmed in this opinion some- ‘what by reading that Prosident Gannerr, of the Baltimore & Obio Railway Com- pany, has beon deolaring that the New York . Contral & THudson River Rail- rond Company, by meking the same rates of 'freight botweon the West and New York as aro chargod by shorter lines to other cities, aud discarding milenge, uot only *‘ignores tha laws of trade, but is acting absurdly, The solicitude of the Presidont of the Baltimoro & Ohio Railroad lest tho Now York Company would iujure its fluances botrays a gonorosity that is so yarg that, in tho light of the past, it looks like an offer for auother combination, with advanced rates all avound, The time for railroad combinations and high ratos of freight has passed. ‘Tho pros- ont rates would involve bankruptoy if the amount of business and the operating ox- penses wore the same ns beforo tho decline in rates. Another and botter and wiser policy hins succooded. It has boen discovered that it is moro profitable to a railroad com- pany, and to the grenter profit of the coun try, to carry five tons of freight where ono was carried before, and to receive threo-fifths o4 much per ton ns was received for car. rying the one tou, and to. 80 reduce the operating oxpense that the five tons may be moved at the provious cost of woving thoone ton, Tho balance-sheot of such transactions will shiow » much larger profit than that of tho old way, but the in. creased profit to the country is Incalculable, In the first place, it permits the producer to soll fivo tons where he sold oune ton, and to sell it at an advance equal to the reduced cost of transportation ; it cnables him to pur- chase a proportionately-increased amount of wanufactures in cxchange, and gives en in- creased market for tho latter branch of in. dustry among tho fiftson milliona and more of consumens in the West. It is tho diffor- once boetwoen nbundance and famino; be. tween prohibition and unvestrioted produe- tlon, 1t bonofits all producers and all con- sumars ; increasea tho exchange of commod. ities, and removes tho prohibitions on that oxchango which oxist in excessive cost of trausportation, That 13 the policy which has been forced upen the railronds by the war whick wns bogun for anothor purposo. Mr, VANDER- oirr has had the wisdom to foreson that 76 milos’ additional distance in a route of 1,000 | miles was a disadvantago which might easily bo overcome by other ndvautnges. He has put down four tracks; ho hina no high grades ; ho can houl twico the numbor of cars in train that ean be hauled by others. The West has, morcover, snapped tho chains that forcod it to deal nt any particular point. It.finds Boston, Portland, Montreal, Philadelphin, and Baltimoro at the East. It doas not care which rond is the longest or shortest, It asks simply the sum per ton for transportation from the shipping point to tho end of the routs, and, all other things being equal as to coat, will ship to that point offering tho lowest rato. The samo rulo must apply to exchango froights. Milengo {sno longer of any concern to the shipper; and tho railrond with the longest routo must nccept for tho servico the price demanded for the short route or go without business. Mr. Ganrerr may mnke up his mind that the mlengo principle in railroud frelghts has ox- ploded. THE EUROPEAN WAR.CLOUD, Although the next twenty-four honra' nows' may chauge the nspect of tho situation, the presont news from Europe indientes a gen- eral war. Pending tho definito outcome of existing complicntions between the Grgat Powoers and Turkey, o brief rosumo of oper- ations will place the roader in a position to mako his own forecast of tho future. The stfuggle between Turkoy aud Herzogovina, which had previously been of a guerrilla charnctor, first assumed the magnitude of war on the 4th of last July, when the Ser- vinns entered the flold agninst Turkey, rein. forced a fow days nfter by Montenegro.. The contest at the outset was faverable to the 8erviang, Thon the fortunes of war varied, and victory alternately rested with Turk and Sorvian, As the war went on, the Servians exhiausted their resources, The Turk, how- over, recoiving constant accossions from the Egyptinns, tho Albanians, and their Asiatic provinces, soon overwhelmed the *Sorvians by sheer weight of numbers, and crushed tliem ot Aloxinatz, the crowning victory of the war. The Sorvians had received the moral nssistance of tho Russians; the Turks had been indirectly supported by the Aus- trinns. Up to tho tine of the infamous and infernal Bulgarinn ntrocitics, thoy had also enjoyed the sympathy of England. Theso atrocities, however, produced such a revulsion of feeling in England and brought such a pressure to bear upon the Tory Gov- ernment that DEnny and DisnagLt wero com- pelled to withdraw their support, and to warn Turkey of tho disastrous results that would flow from such inhumanity, Immedi- ately following the Turkish victory at Alex- inatz, the Great Powers suggested an armis- tico to the Porte. The latter declared an unwillingness to mnko an armistice, and offerod terms of peace, the ncceptance of which would havo reduced the Sclavio prov- inces to the original statu quo, with no more hope of immunity from porsecntion than thoy hiad had before, nnd would in addition havoe entailed upon them, the romunoration of the Tnrks for their military outlay during thocampaign. Tho Great Powers promptly rofused tonllow these propositionsto bemade, nnd, pending the arrangement for an armis- tice, compelled o ten days' truce, which ex- pived yesterday. Meanwhilo England, acting with the other Powers, hns proposed, as n basis for negotiations, the following points: First, an unconditional armistico; second, the atatu quo ants bellum, to be maintained 68 rogards Servin and Montenegro, with an extonsion of territory for tho latter, to be taken, of course, from Southern Herzegovina, which, whether it wore intended so or not, is o graceful recognition of the fact that the Mpntenogrins hava not been defented onco by tho Turks in this campaign ; third, liberal provislon' for local autonomy ‘in Bosnin, Herzegovina, and Bulgaria, whichds the de- maud that Grapstone first suggested in his famous pamphlet on the Bulgarinn atrocities. ‘The concession of this third point would give to the throe provinces named the same somi~ independence that is now enjoyed by Servia, Montenegro, and Roumama. They would be governed by their own rulers, the payment of an annual tribute to the Porte being the only rominder of Turkish misgovernment. If these propositions are nccopted, there will be n formal armistios; if they are re. jocted, war will bo ronewed. The **if " in thia case is n very broad and liberal one, and large in implication. It would be the part of prudence for the Turk to nccopt the English proposition, but his fatalism, fannticlsm, hatred, and obstinncy may lead him to rojoct it. The London Standard, which is Tuikish in all of its saympathies, declares ho will not, But oven if ho should, it is not settled that Servia will accept. The war fecling in Servia is running higher than ever ainco Prince Mruay declared himsolf King. Ieavy bodies of troopa are pouring in continually from Russin, A legion of 10,000 Russian cavalry arrived at Belgra'e on ‘Saturdsy last, The Serviaus themsclves aro making ronewed preparations for war, and the Montonegrius are once more resuming active operations, It is intimated that, when the struggle is ronawed, the Turks will meot a differcnt fos from that hitherto encoun- tored, aud that whon the presont changes aro effected not a singlo Bervinn will remain in command, In addition to all these sug- gestivo movements, it i stated that Russin disnpproves of the English propositions as being too mild. As wo hiave bofore stated, it is impossible to forocast the future, but there is little hope for porce in tho presont aspoct. It is almoat morally certain that Eogland will .not fight, Franco will not fight. Germany has no in- terest in ‘the pending ‘questions, It is Bis- aancx’s polloy to wait, let Austria go in, and then take the northern proyinces of that Ewpire, which nre almoest sure to be Ger. manized. Russia holds the koy to the situntion, aud, as overy wovo that sho is making is in the divection of war, it is not improbable that in o very shorttinme the Belfves of Russin and Furopean Turkey will be miroyed against thelr anciout and implac. ablo foes, tho JMussulmon and Bagyars, in which case Turkey is doomed. But whethar Turkey necopts or refects: tha -propositions, her power over the Olristions is broken, her tyrauny is at an eud, ¥ Thero is now little doubt that tho Hell-Gate cxplosiun bas attalued all the results thut were lwped from fr. A lurge steamer pussed over the elte of the explusion yesterday morniug much nearer Hallett’s Point than was evor at- tempte foro, at low tide slso, and without cucouutering uny obstacte.
