There is no doubt buz what the Tarl powers of resistance are strained to a high d e of tension, and, in such drcumstances, semi-civilized organizations Jike those of Turkey are liable to collapse in the most unexpected manner; g0 that, in spite of the gross blunders of the Russian swall, a grest change is possible at any momentin the military situation in Bulgaria. The severe censures upon the Russian trans- port service have been called forth, not so much »n account of its deficicncy in quantity and ma- serial as by the stupid want ot service and in- selligent management in handling it. The ad- rent, therefore, of some goad transport direct- >, which, of course, is not an impossibility, vould soon effect a change of things, and pro- duce 8 corresponding’ improvement in afl the lcld operations. The same remarks nuplfi' to e Russian hospital service. They = have slenty of material, but the medical offi- ers complain—and _justiy, no doubt—that ey are wever given any hints as to Fhere their field hospitals and depots would be required, and, conscquently, they nave been un- sble to conceutrate their supplics at the requi- site centres in time to prevent much neediess mifering among their wounded. Up to the ommencement of the siege of Plevus the Rus- inu armry bad lost very little by sickness. My nowledge is derived from an inspection of the wrying-grounds. Every village has its chu :ard—in fact, two of theém, since the Christian nd Moslem dead are futerred in separate ceme- eries; and, theretore, the villaze graveyards cll the story of the Russian deaths by ordi- wary si :. The numbers of these graves Te surpnsmf;l small, compared with the usual wereentase of deatbs irom natural cavscs. ‘There1s an abundance of wheat and barley re- naining in Bulgaris. Every hamlet is crowded rith immense stacks of these grains, while a ery larze crop of Indian corn is awaitiug the :usbandinan. Very httle of thesze crops raised his year in Roumania has been touched by the lussians: consequently, they have provisions in bundance for wan and beast. [ they can sur- avuut the difliculty of ubtaining fuel, they can rintes in Buigaria Very comfortably. This is the situation of affairs at present. ¥ith 1t continuance of past bad generaiship a1 boti vides, anything and everythung is pos- e but, with the advent of a good com- nder possessing uecessary powers, it can be wen from the above skeich that the v.hole et of the campoign may be chiasged in reck « luisenid that the Russian official accounts ackuowledge a loss since crossing the Danube of 5,30y men. But bow this loss nas been ascer- tained we are uot informed. As no roll-alls are made, it can only be gupposed that these figrures have been obtained trom the number of spital and dead buried ou the fields of battle Such a reckoning would, however, give s totsl far below the real sum, for many men dixappear, many wounded and dead are never found. and all the missing ere entirely Jost sight of in such a mauner of counting loss. Eut the smailer the Russian loss is found to b thie greater ust be the failure of the military sdministration. The seven army corps _and four detached divisions which crossed the Dan- ube should bave mustered on paper at least 250,060 men. 1t the loss, as reckoned #bove, be deducted, there should still be 200,000 men in Bulgaria, without including the reinfurcements or the Roumanians. No one can helieve that this number of combatants s present with the standards. The Russin force in front of Plevna does not now avowedly number 40,000, The army of the Cesarewitch is not at the out- €lde more than 50,000 strong, and Kadetzi bus moy_more than 20,000 men 1 the Shipk Pass. Even these fizures are probably izher than the actual force. Either the strenetl. of the army originally must bave been sreatly exaggerated on paper, or the losses have been much more severe than the returns have al- lowed. MONEY AND STOCKS.

C., Oct -13.—The Speaker- ship contest to-day presented some unexpecied features. With the hourly arrival of members, it became apparent to thie leaders of the Randall opposition thut some of the candidates must be withdrawn from the contest or there would be no hope of defeating Raudall. Morrison of llinois, saw yesterday that he had no chance for the nomination, and decided to relinguish the contest; but it was not until this moruing that he permitted it to become Kuown that he was no longer a candidate. He as- signs as a reason for bis withdrawal, aside from the very manifest facs of the wantof a suflicient number of Votes, the further fact that he w by lis own delegation. Morrison's supporters seem to think that not unitediy supported TILDEN'S HAND WAS MANIPEST in manipulativg the New York deleration. Sparks, of Hliuois, who is a man of a good deal of positiveness, has from the start been a Ran- dall man, and bas stated he could under o con- ditions support Morrison, as he pledged himself to Randall long Lefore Morrson was a candi- date. Sparks’ influcnce among the other members of the delegation has been damaging to Morrison’s prospects, aud the latter was not able to deliver the united Illivois delegation to Goode as bie bad hoped todo. Indecd, it was rerarded as certain Dy the Randall men before the canvass that Rundall would have AT LEAST TUREE VOTES TROM ILLINOIS ou the first batlot, iu spite ot Morrisow’s efforts in favorof Goode. Cox had the Meacity carly in the morning to know that Lis conts hopeless, and permitted the aunouncement to be mude that he bad withdrawn from the contest. The Goode manzgers hoped th Cox would attempt to deliver his de cgation to thew, but be had mo dele- gation ' 1o deliver, and during the day it became certain that the Democrats of the New York delegation would be most cer- 1ain to cast their votes for Randull. In this the anti-Randall men think they sce the hand of Tilden. Sayler was repeatedly urged to with- draw and not 1o antagonize the candidacy of John G. Thompson for Sergeant-at-Arms, but hie was obdurate and was DECLINED TO SURRENDER. His firmness in his candidacy created consider- able feehug in kis del tion must have been intense at rec twelve votes. There was cven an effort made to induce Goode to - withdraw from the conmtest, and a committee ot twoof the most influential of the Virginia del urge him to surrender the contest, but Gilbert C. Walker, of Virginia, who has been actively engineering Gootie’s contest, had too much in- fluence with the latter, who nortitiea- g oufy ation, and his tion waited upon him in the afternoon to DECLINED TO WITIIDRAW. This faction is rewarded for its foresight by but wwenty-three votes. Blackburn had 1o out of th ago to transfer his support to Goode. It nothing else had been his fire-cating speech of Thursday night 1| had turned away from him all the conservative Southern Democrats. Accord- ingly, upon the nsserbling of the caucus fo- night, there were three candidates in the field: Sumuel J. Randall, of Peunsylvania; Milton been nd biad attempted two days race. ainst Blsckburn, ter, of Oiv; and John G wie, of Virginia, The voting was by meaus of tellers on division, no roll being called. The following, how- ever, is THE VOTE CAST FOR RANDALL upon this, the first and only ballot for Speaker: New tampshire—Jones, Massachusetts—Morse, Connecticut—Landers, Phelps, Warner—3, New York—Covert, Vecder, Bliss, Miller, Eck- Dotl, Wood, Willis, Gecbe, Maybam, Quinn, Hart, Benedict, Lockwaod—13, New Jerses—Ross, Clark, Cotier, Harden- Dbergh—1.

A SURPRISE. The strenath of Raudall’s vote at the start was comething of & surprise even to those WEo had most narrowly watched bis -contest. His friends had claimed for him on the first ballot efghty-five votes. These claims were b:L:l:f] Oul an estumate of his strength from au- thoritative sources made BiX weq ago. The result shows that Randall, or whoever managed his campaipm, had excellent, judgment. The additional votes from these original estimates came for the most part from New York State, ‘where Cox wus unable to hold auy considerable f‘flloflnz. When it became known late last night or early this morainr to a few persons that Cox contemblated retiring from thie contest, . A YERY SHAKP CONFLICT Immediately arose in thi New York celemation. This fight has been the testure of the day, und undoubrediy was the determiving puint in the struggle. It then became evident that the fate of Goode would be decided by the attitude taken by the New Yorkdelegation. In this dcl- egation there were ehough original Randall men -whom Cox was never wble to sccure to make it. certain that the delegation could not ve delivered to Goode. Fernando Wood has had too many bitter contests with Cox to assist him in engincering the New Yorl vote for Goode, and the Raudall men, who re hard-money men, were not. disposed DL for a candidate @ man who com from a State which is the mother of repudia- tion as well as Presidents. = 1t was also known that Bliss and Willis would in any cvent vote for Randall, while Hewitt SENT FIOM EUNOIE INIS PROXY in Randall’s favor. “lu view of this sentiment a caucus of the New VYork delegation was keld at 4 o'clock this noon im - which, after a very animated and bitter contest, the delegation, with the single exception of Clarkson Potter, adopted a resolution in_two parts, v thiat the delezation would present o candidate from their own State; sceand, that_they would nut vote for any candldate from their own State if presented by others. After this ther nothing for Cox to do but to formally de the contest. This done, MIt. RANDALL'S VICTORY WAS ASSURED, and there only remmined to be determined the question of majority ‘The decision of the New York delegation, al- though kept secret, soon became known' to wavering members. and resulted i causing o great break for Randall. Cox is a greatly-disappointed man, and to the burden of his defeat he is compelled o add the knowledgze of the fact that he was be- trayed in the house of his fricnds. The men who had pledged themselves 1o stand by hin to the end not only abundoned him, but placed upon him the disgrace of ths resolution. AMBITION FOR CIAIRMANSHIL was a coutrolling motive with many of the New York delegation. Clarkson Potter, the autlg of the oted Jetter which immediately after November election advoeated revolution in den’s interest, alone stood by Cox. Perlaps the only satisfaction that Kepublicans can take o the defea of z10st of Randall’s opponents is that with them the brawlng fillibusters have met their fates too. Iu New England_there was not_a dissenting voice amoug the Democrats. In Kentucky esen the fiery Jue Blackburn was not to buve it all his own way, for he could not control more than three of the niue members from his State. In- deed, sume of the most foremost Iriends of Randall were from Blackburn's own State. RandalPs strength in Penusylvania quite sur- prised those who had expected that the Wallace faction would use its influence to defeat him. VERY SUCCESSFUL ENGINEERING or some influences which are not patent resulted in giving the united Pennsylvanis delegation to Randall, while many of the individual members of that delegation, who. bitherto bave been re- trarded as bis oppowents, worked for him with enthusiasm. In Maryland Randatl did not have but three votes yesterday. To-day he suined the remaiuing three. Even Ilenkle, who has denounced Randull very bitterly within two or three days as having aided to place a usurper in the White House, went fo Randall's hewd- quarters and announced that he should cast his vote for him. _He did so to-nizht. In Virginia Goode found thut he was not the favorite zon. Me was opposed by the three strougest men in the defewation—Cabell, John Randolpk Tucker, and Harris. Tucker was ambitious to be SPEAKER OF THE NEXT HOUSE, when, according to his notion, the South will demand its right to representation. Rivalry of this sort and friendshiv for Randall induced him. Tucker Las labored to induce Goude to withdpaw, but without suceess, North Caro- ling, South Carolina, and Georgia were solid, Alubama, with one exception, withs oue, while Texas @ave her cntire v Randall. “I'iere are many surmises 18 to the eause of Randall’s stren~th. There were few signs of the lobby about thecorridors tu-night, but there scemed 10 be a very mysterious sort of uuder- standing between the few noted Texus Pacific people “who were there, and it is worthy of notice that these yen without exception favored Itandall. Whatever private understanding may have been arrived at, it is very clear that the triends of the Texas Pacific scheme used their influence for Raudalf. THE NEW YORK CATCUS. The proceedings of the Nuw York @ezation which resulted mforelng Cox from the contest were of an unusual aud epiey enaracter. Unon the assembling of the Representatives, Fe do Wood was cafled to the o e stated toat. under the present _eireums it was inexpedient for New York to present s candic date for Speaker.

The Committec consisted of Potter, Te Quinn, Hart, aud Muller. Arrived at the Rig Hon Hart, as Speaker, informed Cox in his private parlor that they came as ¢ Committes from the New York delesation to submit some resolutions to him. Cox, evidently thinking that_they were resolutious commendive him, received them benignantly, and read the resoln- tions. They naturally disturbed his cquaninity, andwith pardunable warmth e addresséd urt as Judge Church's representative who cme there to dig bis (Cox's) pulitical prave.

TIE CAUCUS. Ta the Western dssoclited Press, %6105, D. C., Oct. 13.—A larze num- ber of persons interested in_the result of ‘the Democratic caucus were in the lobbies of the House to-mgit. This afternoon the New York delegates voted to withdraw the name of 3. S. Cox as a candidate for Speaker, Willis and Pot- ter ouly voting in the negative. Cox was not at the meeting. This action left but three candidates: Randall, Goode, and Sayler. Shortly aiter tiie caucas was called to order by Mr. Clymer, Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, nomi- nated Randall as candidate for Speaker, re. ferring to his past vecord in public afairs ‘and his qualifications for presiding oficer of the Hounse.

NATIONAL FINANCE. *As Viewed from a Nushrille Standpoint. Nasuviie, Tenn., Oct. 13.—The mevting this moruing, called by the Board of Trade, 10 take action azainst Sherman’s policy of contra tion wus not largely attended. Judge Demass was called to the chair. He commended the President for raising himself above party, and 6aid the recent electionin Ohiowas not a Demo- ictors so much as an anti-Sherman vie- tory.
