Demoeratio membors of the Houre is 145,——n discrapancy of cighty-five. Bomebody is therofore doomed to disappolntments Ran- part's claim is the biggest, and probably with tho best renson, since ho fs understood to have made his peaco with the subsidy- grabbers by giving sssurances that he has undergone a radicnl chango of henrt on tho snbjoct of subsidies, It is said ho 18 now propnred to tako tho whole bandlo to his ‘bosorn, not even cxcopting a proposed steam- ship line bolween New Orlenns and South Amorican ports, Another report is that the subsidy crowd have determined to run a can. didate of their own, nnd that Goops, of Vir. ginia, is the man upon whom thoy will unite their strength. P It i almost with a sclfish feoling of eatis. faction that wo noto the discovery of a sys- tom of fraud in the adminiatration of one of tho great railways of England, for it ia an indication thiat the orimo of betraying trusts is not distinctively American, and caunot propetly bo oharged ns a natural result of popular governmont. The frands In the Midlaud Itailrond consist of the uso of the Compuuy's money for the privato gain and speculation of the officors, and thoy cousti- tuto a varioly of the same clasa of frauds wheroby tho Governmont, Btates, muuicipal corporntions, and privato stookholders havo been @windled in thls oountry. It eanuot bo doubted that Eogland will farnish n good example by the enorgetic prosecution and prompt punishment of tho porpetrators of theso frauds. Thare is hope, indeed, that we may reach this point in the United BStates, since an ox-Sonator and ex- Assistant Socrotary of tho Trensury, aud others who hiave beon prominently connected with the Uovornmont, have boon convicted and will bo punished for betrayal of trust. Perhnps tho turning-point has beon passed, and that alrondy such a change has occurred in publio sentinent that the Lotrayal of pub. lic and privato trusts may houceforth bo dungerons praatico for those who ongago in it Mraester ALt hna beon doposed from the chief command of tho Turkish army in Bul- guria, snd Svremaan Tasha appointed in his ntend. It is ovident that merit less than favoritism has ruled in this change. As bo. tween Meneater and SuLentan there is lttlo chicice, noither having exhibited a high order of judgment or ability in tho bandling of large bodies of troops. It isknown, however, that Svrzivax hay beon upheld Ly o power- ful influence in Constantinople, and this nc- counts for his promotion to tho post which, with demonstrated capacity as the test, should lave been musigned to Ommax Pashs, whose defonso of Plovna clearly ontities him to be yegarded us the ablest of the ‘Turkish commanders, Sumivax's auvhiievements, gince the closa of Lis succese- fal campaign aguinst tho Montenegrins, whom he overeame, but did not vanquish, Ly dint of lis enormously superior fovee, linve chiefly consisted in butting his head ngaiust o stoue wall,—hurling his troops ngainat the impregnablo position of Gen, Ravprzey in Slopka Pass, and gotting them sloughtered by thonssnds for his paina. He will bo afforded an opportunity for the dis. play of his peouliar talents in taking tho of- fonsivo ngainst the strengthoned and concena trated forees of the Czarowiteh, from which Menpaer last weck thought it prudent to rolira to o sufo distunce. Ouo wiluct of the new denl will probably bo to stir up mntters on tho Kara Lom Cortain ambitious lumbermen in tho back- woods of Louisiaua recontly conceived a schawo by which, like the broom-vendor who stole hia wares ready-made, thoy conld mako n big specuiation. 'They st to work on tho Uovernment timber lands aud chopped tu. diseriminately and persistontly until the ag. grogate yield amounted to several mnillions of feet. Tho timber wnai offured to a geneor. ous public at # price cousiderablo under the wunrket rate. About this time a Governinent ogont wed seen lo culer a town bhard Ly, carpet-bag In band, aud wns dis. covered soon ofter taking uotes in tho porticular locality whero tho llicit logs lay waiting for a chance purchaser. In the cunrso of timo the intrusive agent bnd, by n process with which ho seemed to be exceodingly familiar, convinced the puta- tive poussessors of tho Jogs that tho United States, of which Loulsiana had come. to be o component past, bl rights in the premises which shonld com. mand the decent respeot of nll men. There- upon tha broad wing of the Government was spread about those logs, nud the agont ro- tirod, It wus now tho lumberman's turu to move. ‘This they did by procuring an order from court to scll the property in dixputo &t auction, tho objuct boing to sccaro posses. sion of the prizo at n uominal eum. 'The vorncious historian, however, vecords n far difforunt outcome. The aulo took place, but tho choppers discovered thoy ware not to hava it all their own way. 'L'ho ubiquitons Governin:nt emissary torned up in time to take n hand in tho bidding, and, distaucing all competitors, was declared to bo the law. ful purchaser. And now tho lumbermon of that region know the uwwrket price of thoir local commodity, for they are acknowledging this fuct by denling in the regular way with tho wau who caught the oys of the auc- tionour, ‘Tho trinl of the County Commisstoners and the contractors who aro indicted with then foirly began yesterdny morning.

The attention of the Court was thon called to the fact that Fousyrus had been ordored to appear aud bring with Lim the book containing the ** K* account, and that he Lad faeiled to do so. Thereupon counsel for defendants, also vopresenting Fomsyzux, pleaded that that pemson was Dot obliged to proddce the book, since it wonld criminate him, This was a curious adinission. If the K" account criminates Fonsrrite, whom everybody considers only half-gnilty, how much more will it eriminato Prrtorar and the indieted Commissionors?

Fonsrrme was put on the stand, but declined to answer any queationa for fonr of criminating himself. The fudictment agninst him will be dismissed, and then he will, per- haps, open his mouth. e ——— The ocstimate of the supply of breadstufls made by tho Mark Lane Ezrpress, tho grent British nuthority, fally bears out the wisdom nnd good faith of Tne TRIBUNE in counscling the farmers of tho Northwest not to rash their whoat upon the market, tempted by any temporary advance, but to send it for- ward quietly when the Yruling price is fair, nnd in suflicient quantity to supply tho lo- gitimato demand. Tho sum nad substanco of the cstimato mado by tho Murk Lane [FErpress is that QGrent Dritain will neod «f the whoat tho American market ¢an furnish. Under theso conditions tho Amerivans enn command a good prico for tho entire crop, if they avoid ou the one hand an undue anxioty to rush it upon the market, aad on tho other all combinations to put up the prico {o an extortiounto figure. 'Tha tomporary decline in prico has no further slgnifieance than to note that tho Northwest has beon sending wheat forward too rapidly, with tho natural effect of incrensing Inke nud occan freighta and depressing tho prico in Liverpool, It i mnot that more wheat is offored QGreat Britain than Great Dritain noeds, but only moro than it wanta nioo. It is » matter which will correct itsulf. It is not unlikely that Obiene go rocoipts will show o falling-off after o fow duys, aud the result will bo some increnso in prico. The situation is lou favorablo to this conntry to be abused either by combinations to giut the mnrket for the tima befug or to onforca exorbitant prices by withholding proper supplics. Tho Lrue policy is to fur- nish Europe with wheat as rapldly as Eu- rope demauda it, but not more rupidly. Un- dor that policy falr pricea will rulo to tho eud, for nothing can now happon (uot oven tho close of the Turko-Rusgiun war) whieh would cut off the Europesn domand for Amoriean broadstuffs for this year. Seeer———p——— THE EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS, Cougruss will meet in oxtm svssion n week from vext Monday. ‘'the call was mado neo- ossnry by the partisan ubstinacy of the laat Houso of Ropresontatives in refusing to vote ndoquate supplies for muintainiug several Lranehos of the Governmment. No appropri- tlons were made for the army, which hns not Leon paid sinco the 1st of July. The De. partment of Justico has no money with which to defray tho expeuses of the United Btates Courta, and tho niggandly polloy of tho last Congross has left u large doficiency v tho navy supplies, - That this policy was not fu the {nteresta of economy i now evie dont enough from the fact that the unusnal expenso of the extra session mnst be Incurred to muko good the deficioncics. It was sug- gosted by partisan malignity, and the pur- pose was to embarrass the new Administra- tion; but the schemo did not wsuccoed oe well 23 was intended. It wns supposed that the Prosident would be constrained to call the extrn session at n much oarlier dato ; this would havo given both tho implacables on the Republiean side and the walcontents on tho Domocratic side nn opportauity to harasa aud obstruct the Administration in ita efforts in bohalf of Sonthert roconciliation and Civil-Servico reform. Time onough Las olapsed, fortunatoly, to nttest tho popular approval of both those Administration mons. ures ; and, while this popular approval may not shut off the blatant oxtromiats alto- gother, it will provont them from waking ns 1uch boadway agaiust the Administration as thoy hod counted upon. . A discussion in the Cabinot of the subjoots to bo ombraced in tho President’s measago to tho spocial sosslon has led to tho detormina. tion to bring beforo Congress in this form only thoso mattont which led to tho call, and whoso urgency bns since becomo apparvnt. It Congross shiould confiuo itself to the con- sidorntion of the subjects thus suggested, and leave for tho regular session tho discus. slon of goneral legislation, it could finish ity businessin n wouk or two, adjourn and savo tho country o large expendi- turo; but we feor that' 1t will not Lo actuated Dby so patrdotio a pur- pose, If such a courso should bo takon, tho first business would bo to consider and provide for the dcticlencies which Lave nceessitated the oxtra session. Aside from thess, tho mousago will call attention to tho recont burning of a yportion of the Interior Dopartmont, snd urge sn appropriation to ropair the damage ; it will also direct atten- tion to tho insccurity of some of the other Department buildings, which will naturally suggest measures for rendering them fire- proof. Congress will lkowiso bo nsked to maks an appropriation for the paymeut of claims approved by the Southern Clalms Commission, which wero neglected by the last Congress, and tho message will contain o history of thu Governmeut's action during $hu lato strikes and riots, It can hiardly Lo boped that a new Con- gress, contaung n fuir aversge of dema- gogues, will confine jtself to tho matters which provoked the call of on vktra session, though that is obviously the rulo that shonld govern it ; but those who lave tho public intereats at heart will ot loast eudoavor to dircol weasures and debatus {u the lue of those thiugs that are most urgent. After disposing of tho deficioncy bills and the safety of tho poblic Luildings, the mensures which claim priority may be stated us fol. lows: (1) The suggestions for protection of inter-8tate commerco ou the il highways against violent juterruption, which has been proved to arrest tho progresa of all business; (2) the ropeal of the date Szed for resumption, which, so long as the country i confronted with tho necesaity of resuming In gold alone, acts as a lLeavy om- bargo on trade; (8) the remonetization of the silver dollar, along with provision for its free coluage in like meuner with the gold dollar, which will be tho first step towards practical resumption; (4) provision for the issue of a popular loan, vr a savings-bond of small denomination, bearing 8.66 per cent juterest, along with the consideration of o further means for intrusting the Government with the safe-keoplog ~of suvings deposits; and (5) the sugges. tions for o revision of the tarif which sball at loast lead to a reference of the subject in proper shape to the regulor session, so that the facilities for exporting Awerican products woy bo speedily increased by the eucourage- meut of reciprocity of tudy sud tho Lmpor. tation of raw matorial required in manufac- | rade? If ho had been, the Czar might have ture, While theao aro tho vital irsues which tho country fecls the urgent necessity for promptly settling, each of them will find op- porition from soma demngogues retained in specinl interests or anxions to give prece- dence to mero mnttors of party concern. It in more likely that we rhnll bo treated to nnnseating doscs of Conklingism. The mn- chino politicians will bo ready with their anti-reconciliation and anti-Civil-Bervico harangues, Ex-Gov. Ciampzanay’s Fourth- of-July orntion will bo rohashed in a dozon forms, ench moro tedions then its predeces- Aar. Braixx's scarecrow of Moxican war and aunexation will bo brought to the front. There will be long fights over the confirma- tion or rejection of officinls on personal or politiel gronnds. Ifares’ title will bo re- argued, nud the Louisiana Roturning Bonrd overhnuled ngain. Thero will be new jere- minds over Tit.nrx's defeat, aud criminations and recriminations ns to the responsibility for that gracious event, The bulldozers and Lloody-shirt politicians will fight their battles over, and the country will pay the bills to ennble the domagogues o air their doubtful rhetoric. Worso cven than this prospect, if possiblo, is the probability that the subsidy- boggars will put in an appeamnco to wago & proliminary battle and prepare for n bold at- tack at tha rogular seasion, They will desira to have thoir varions schemes discussed In order to estimata their relative strongtly, and “thus nacertnin what combinations may be necesanry to common success, It Is not nn. likely that the demagogues may so far pro- vall a3 to lend Congross up to tho holiday va- catlon withont the nccomplishmaont of any of tho schemes of primary importance, but employ the time which belongs to the nation in the disenssion of mnttors which can in no event result to tho pnublic ndvautage, but which thresten serious political and financial errors, If this shall be tho ruling spirit of the now Congress, it will bo merely a quos. tion as to which party will be damaged tho most in tho eyes of the public. ‘The Ropub- liceng can only Liope that tho majority of the demagoguen will bo found on the Democratio slda, nud vics versa. ELEVENTH-HOUR STRATEGY. Tho military capacity of tha Turkish offl- cera has been frequoutly called in question during the present war, and thero is certninly sufliciont tustimony to show that some, liko HurerneaN Pasba, bkave wasted the livea of their soldiers to no purpose; hat others, like Moxntan Tasha, hove rocklessly dis. obeyed ordors ; aud that othory, liko OsyaN Pasba, who, if success is o critorion, is tho Dest officer in tho 'Iurkish acmy, havo shown an iunbility to improve or follow np n suc- vess. lucapacity, however, Is not confinod to tho ‘lurks. If they bavo failed to improve their opportunitics, it has buon offset by cor- rugponding fallares on tho Russinn sido, Tho opewng of tho Rassian campaign was un. usually brilliant. ‘I'hey crossed the Damube, seized upon the strategic points of Nikopolis, Sistova, Tirnovs, Gabrova, the Bhipka Pass, and-the strongholds of Eske-Sagra and Ko saulik in Roumelia, and established thoir lino in a systematic and soldierly manner, and thero they rested. The whole world looked upon Goen, Gounko's magnifcent dash acrosa tho Balknus as the forerunner of n speedy occupntion of Adrianopla by the triumphant Runsiun armies, but the positions securod were not improved, Tho men wero placed upon tho board admirably, but they did not move. The samnc fwpotont rosult awnited their movoments in Armenis. They opened their eampnign briliantly, ‘Thoy inveatod Kars, surrendered Batoum, eaptored Krivan and Bajazid, uud thelr fiying columns eamo within sight of tho domes and minarots of Erzoroum, 'Iher thero was a halt in tho ad- vance, ‘Tho strategio positions wero ke- cured, but they were not improved, aud Muguran Pasha pushed their thin and wide- ly-seattered columins back to their very frontier, which ineanwhile was in n blaze of inmmrection, Six wonths have elapsed, and thoy hiave not won n solid victory in Europe ond Asia. Their nrmios are un the line of tho Dauube in Europo snd on the Cireassinn frontier in Asin, and thero thoy were montha ago. Thoro aro not wanting many indications that the Russians themselves begin to appro- clato theso failures, and that they are now seoking to insugumto an nctive prosecution of tho war, Tho Russisn peoplo themselves aro Dleginning to doubt whether Grand Dukes nro likely to be fimst-class military officern merely bocauso they aro Grand Dukes, and to suggest that it might bo botter for theso Graud Dukes to have some ox- perienced aund reliablo advisers with thom, ag the German Crown Princes had in the Franco-Germau war, O what avall is such o gallant hero ns Hxouerevy, tho most brill. iaut and dnshing soldier siuco Musnat, if ho is to be left in tho Plovaa redoubts without reinforcements, owiug to a slow-golng Grand Duko? Of what uso is that brilliant Balknn raider, Gen, Gounio, if ho is to bo left aloue on tho other sido of tho mountsing ju a hos. tilo territory, wiilo n whola Turkish srmy corps gatheras around his few reglments of cavalry far nwny from thoir base? One of tho 1ot romnrkablo instances of this oloventh-lour strategy is to be found in the oporations sround the fatal rodoubts of Plevnn, Tho Russians fint attacked itlast June. With nstonishing rashness they nasalled it from the open flvld, exposing their massed colnmmus to tho tarrible tire of tho ‘Turks from behind alinost impreguable walls, Over and over sgaln tho assanlt was made, until tho attacking army was noarly docimnted ond fell back, shatltered and crushed, to tho lino of the Danube, Turkish fucapucity gavo thom timo to recuperate somewhat, licinforcemouts were hurried forward from Russia to mako good the thousands thoy hiad lost, Again the attempt has bees mado to tako the fortress by assanlt, and thousands more have been slain, Tom- porary sdvantages gaincd by tho horoism of such oflicors a4 Bxonesery have been loat bo- causo the titled officers of the yoyal house- hold bave not {wproved them. In the firut battlo of Plevnn, the Russlans Jost betweon 8,000 and 10,000 men. in the socond nsuanlt tho Russians end Roumanlans kave al. seady lost twico @4 many, and the - end s not yet. Ju thig omergency, after four jonths of useloay operations sgainst Plevon, after sac. sificing unearly 80,000 lives, it occurs to the Grand Duke to send for Gen, TopLeney, the great ewgineer, so that he way explain why Grand Dukes cannot take Plovns, ond he ex- plaius it by telling them that Plovna can only bo taken by regular siege operutions. Mean. while, ns if to accommodute Osxan Pasha and eushlo him to stand A sioge, the Grand Dukes bave allowed roinforcements of over 20,000 men, with large amounts of war ma. torial and with an immense wagpn traln of provisions, to enter Plovna! Bui why was not Gen, Topreoey called befors any nssault wos made at alt? Failing in that, wby was ha oot called beforo tho second [failure was \ beon spared the spectaclo of thousands of hin “childron " falling victima o duneal rock- lecknass from tha sumpinons grand stand ercetud for him by the Grand Dukes. Nelter lalo than nover, ns the old adnge soye. With Gen. Toprznex on the ground thora is n probobility that there will be fower lives wasted herenfter in recklées asmnlts, nnd that enginocoring skill will figure in the reduction of tho fortress, 1lo is anold man, and how far ho retains his consnmmate skill remains to bo sean; but if he still has that knowledgo nnd ability that in 1818 quelled the Ojrcassinns by his rystem of mountain forts, which in 1863 surrounded Bobnatopol with defonses that defied the Bu- glish and French armics a year, and which liopant Pasha is now afmid to attack, ond which of late years hns orected the formid. ablo defensog of NikolaleXl and Cronstadt, 1ho doom of Plovaa iy senled.
