| TURKEY. Clty Scenes After the Great Fire—Finding . of Dead Bodies, Where and How—Aid Continued to the Sufferers—Impe-« rial Relations te Egypt, Russia and the United States, CoNSTANTINOPLE, July 16, 1870, No more desolate spectacle can be imagined than that presented by the scene of the recent conflagration in Pera, Rarely, in any part of the world, has such a calamity occurred, at least to such an extent, and accompanied by the death of so many victims. Almost daily discoveries are made of dead bodies among the ashes, and rem- nants of fallen walls, The number of houses, &c., consumed is now said to be between six and seven thousand, and the deaths to from two to three thousand. Strange to say, many of the latter were thieves, who came from distant parts of Stamboul torob and even murder those who were blindly agonized by the loss of members of their families and the destruction of thelr property. Quite a number of Persians have been found dead inside of houses and among their ruins, their per- sons covered or surrounded with jewelry aud other objects of value stolen by them. In one case, three subjects of the Shah of Persia penctrated a large building, the owner of which, with his family, was absent in the country, and having threatened to kill the servants if they did not show them tho valuables, loaded their persons with them; but as the Servants fled they had faatened the entrauce of the house, and when the proximity of the fire rendered it necessary for the thieves to escapo they found themselves shat up, and were conse- quently burned up with their ill-gotten stores, In a large shop in Pera four dead bodies were found, and in that of a small jeweller another one—all thieves. Quite recently a man, three women and a child were taken out of a cistern into which they had escaped for preservation, In an Arme- nian school for girls sixteen of them were shut up while the mistress went for assistance. Before she could return all were burned. To prevent these sad details from reaching the Sultan the police do not report them. Indeed, the local papers seem to abstain from publishing them, A gentleman is, however, collecting them for future publication, and the recital will then show the horrible nature of the catastrophe. + In the meantime all is ruins, dust and ‘ashes—far Worse than the results of any modern earthquake. Engineers are employed laying out the site, in the view of eularging the streets and creating reser- voirs of water. A new syatem of firemen and fire engines is being drawn up, so as, if possible, to prevent the recurrence of such a calamity. As ‘the largest and best public stone edifices share an equal fate with the most ordinary wooden ones, the public haye less confidence in the efficacy of the former, forgetting that the case was an ex- Jtraordinary one and that the spread of the flames was due to the tornado of wind blowing at the time and the large quantities of American ‘petroleum stored in shops for sale. To the latter, most probably, is due the destruction ‘of the fine English Embassy. It wae in ithe midst of a volcano of fire almost equal to that of Etna or Vesuvius, and probably jeaught from the upper story. The American Consulate General’s was a large stone edifice near to the Embassy, and met with the fate of other similai buildings. Nearly ali that wae saved in ‘the Consulate was comprised in an iron safe. Some persons residing in its upper story were jnearly burned to death before they could escape, ‘and even in the streets made their way through the burning embers of other houses with great danger. AID FOR THE SUFFERERS, , Large sums have been subscribed by banking institutions and private individuals for the suffer- ers. More than 1,000 tents were sent immediately by the Sultan for the poorer classes. These are now daily, diminishing in number, their inmates haviug found refuge ia the villages, and, by the Sultan’s orders, in Mussulman quaffers. It must in justice be added that he, as weil as all of his Ministers, public functionaries, and even his Mussulman subjects, have shown themselyes ‘good Samaritans’’ on this “pad occasion. He gave the day after the fire $12,009, and has since added $5,000 more from uhis own allowance for the relief of the sufferers. The fetes on the circumcision of his sons, nephews \and children of his functionaries and subjects at Jarge, in which he took more than ordinary inte- ‘rest, have been curtailed and the intended out- Jay spent for the benefit of his sulering people. The sums collected have been spent without re- (gard to the religion or nationalily of those who (Were burned out, aud a large number of Mussul- men gave homes gratuitously to Christians. It will require several years before Pera can possi- ‘bly be rebuilt, ani itis expected that it will be tgreatly improved in the new plan now being drawn "up by goveroment engineers. ; RELIGIOUS FETE. The fetes of the circumcision have terminated. ;The enclosed account of the details of the operations will probably interest you. The youngsters seem not to have suffered much, and thus means were used, in the shape of public plays, &c., tolead their thoughts away from themselves. As the minds of reflecting men now seek to penetrate the real object of so strange a Divine ordinance as this, it may not be irrelevant to suppose that Moses deemed it necessary to impose it upon the He- brews as a Divine command for hygienic purposes. ‘The same has been handed down from them through Mohammed, perhaps for a similar reason, to the Musselmen. It is not, however, deemed by them a3 absolutely necessary, and is consequently called Sunnet in place of Faiz, The latter ex- pression implies an ordinance strictly obligatory, such as a belief in the Deity and the divine mission Of Mohammed as a messenger of God, cont oF dep- uted to call the Arabs from idolatry to the worship of aone and ae Almighty Creator. There are many sunnets, but this being the principal one, it ia called by all true believers the Sunnet. It was 50 timed as to occur on the anniversary of the Sultan’s accession to the throne, and so lessen expenses. It is usual for the Grand Vizier to give a banquet to the diplomatic corps and Ottoman Minister on the ‘‘anniversary,’’ attended with extensive fireworks. But this year all of this was waived in favor of the sufferers from the recent conflagration of Pera. The diplomatic corps, however, waited upon the Sultan, as usual, with its respects. THE MASSACRE OF THE JEW \ You must be more doubiful of the “cable tele- grams” which are sent over Nurope and thence to the United States on the subject of occurrences in this part of the world. It is difficult to appre- ciate the real object of this one regarding the ‘‘mas- facre of the Jews’ in Roumania, without it was for some hidden political purpose. Though the Jews ; there ‘are in clover,” so far as making monish is concerned, they certainly do not fill ‘“‘beds of roses” in all other senses. It is, however, less their fault than their misfortune. The Boyards of Mol- davia and Wallachia, now governing what is called the principality of Roumania, are great spend- thrifts and disposed to borrow money at any rate of interest, giving their estates as security for the same. Inreturn they hate the lenders, and feel- ing the tightness of the rope thus put on their own necks, they would like to repudiate, even by the ejection of those whose money they have re- ‘ceived and wasted. The government of the young ‘Prince Charles is just towards the Jews and seeks |to protect them against the animosity of their creditors. Quite recently a telegram hoax spread “terror here, among the speculators of the Bourse, jnasmuch aa it contained the false news of the assassination of the Prince of Roumania and the narrow escape of his fair sponse. rt HONOR FROM EGYPT. Ag was reported to you some time since Trofik \Pacha, son and heir of the Khedive or Viceroy of Egypt, has been here, and after paying his \devoirs to the Sultan. left for Europe on & visit to NEW YORK) HEKALD, Vienne, Eaeis andLondon, His father, the Viceroy, atin is arrived here on the 6th inst. from Egypt, and has been to call Ee his lord and master, the great Podishah. us aD entente has been reinstated between the sov- ereign and his vassal mutually useful to both. No one here believes fora moment in the pros- Recs.ot ‘a war between them, All Burope would iscountenance one, as most untimely and de- structive to Turkey, Itis here well known that the poten. of the pry ty Aye io Tasker is to favor the plans of rd in omens: Ban of it, and thus she has encouraged the Viceroy to bri about a ru) with his sovereign; bat it is ni at all probable that Russia would sustain him with her arma in such @ contingency. ‘Divide er’ is the well known motto of Ruesia in Torker but it fa sub rosa and a policy to be case of need. Whenever Russia can't create in gg she prevents them as goon as they appear. This has always been her policy, and probable slays will be, and as the public used to it no one ever expects any oth It is, however, equally well known to the other Powers of Europe, and cannot succeed in ordinary times, The best thing for Turkey, to do, under such circumstances, is to conciliate, by jus- tice and equity, the afleetions of all classes of her own people, promote their welfare by honest and wise reforms, and she need never fear that any of them will abandon the mild sway of the Sultan for the iron hand of the Czar. “PROGRESS, The railroad which is unite to Constantinople with Europe is progressing, and it is hoped that it will this time be carried out. Vast numbers of workmen are engaged on the line. The Sultan is also hay- ing another one constructed from Scutari (oppo- site Constantinople) to Ismil (Auns Nieumedia), so to connect with the Smyrna an Asia Minor line. He has authorized his troops to work on it, and to receive additional wages for their labor. This is @ move in the right way, for the soldie need healthy exercise and to learn how to spen' their time advantageously, RELAHIONS TO AMERICA. The Ottoman Minister in Washington, Blacquo Bey, arrived here, some days ago) with Madaine Blacque and his three children, iio good health. The Sultan and his Ministers are much pleased with the course pursued by him in the United States, where many unfortunate, erroneous im- pressions and aprinaiecs existed against his country, He will probably return in the fall be- fore the winter scason sets in, The appointment of the new Minister Resident of the United States, Mr. Wayne McVeigh, has been heard by the Porte with peculiar satisfaction. As itis believed that he comes here free from all prejudices against the government and country to which he is accredited and not disposed to listen to the intrigues of its enemies, but determined only to seek to conciliate the contidence and pond will of the Turkish gov- ernment in behalf of his own and its citizens ecat- tered over the empire, his arrival will be very reeable to the Sultan personally, and to all of his Ministers. COLINEL OLENDENINGS DEPEN Wasurnetoy, D. C,, August 13, 1870. To rue Eptton oy Tue HesaLp:— My attention has been called to statements in the Washington correspondence in the Hera.p of the 8th and 10th inst., and also an editorial no- tice onthe 10th, all of which do me great injus- tice. Believing that neither yourself nor corre- spondent would wilfully do me an intentional in- jury, I send you the following statement from the record, There is a wide difference between charges made and charges sustained. I do not deny that charges of—First, ‘conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman;” second, “cowardice and misbehavior in the presence of the enemy;” third, “embezzlementeand misapplication of mo- ney;” fourth, ‘fraud, to the prejudice of good order aud military discipline,” were preferred against me; but the record of the ca: following findings: —‘‘Charge 1, not evilty; chargo 2, guilty, except the word cowardice; charge 3, kolity except the word embezzlement; charge 4, ne s ‘This of itself is quite a different showing from that wade in tue articles referred to in your paper. The only charges sustained were, ‘misapplication of moneys” and “misbehavior in the presence of the enemy,’’ which need explanation. Under the former, the only sum charged as misapplied was fifty dollars. ‘he specification, stripped of its verbiage, is as follows:— “That he, Lieutenant Colonel J. H. Clendening, did, without proper authority, pay out of said moneys fifty dollars to Brigadier General W. A. Pile.’ Under the charge of misbehavior, in the presence of the enemy, there were three speciti- cations charging me with absenting myself from the command trom July 13 to 21, 1864, inclusive, during the hours of march. The record of testi- mony on these specifications, going to show that it was my purpose, in case of an engagement, to leave the regiment in command of my immediate superior, who had but little military experience. sy veference to the thirty-ninth article of war it will be found mandatory, allowing no discretion to the Court as regards the sentence, in case of an oflicer found guilty of misapplication of funds, no matter how small the amount or the nature of the misapplication. I was therefore dismissed the ser- vice. This sentence was revoked, not by political influence with A. Johnson, as is intimated in the articles herein complained of, but by Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War, in an order, briefly stated as follows :—‘‘In view of the circumstances connected with this case, so much of the order as relates to Colonel Clendening-is hereby revoked, and he is hereby honorably discharged the.service of the United States, as of the date of said order.” The order was obtained by Mr. B. Gratz Brown, former republican United States Senator from Missouri, who, not knowing my address at the time, endlosed it to a friend for me, to whom he wrote as follows :— “In Colonel Clendening’s case I have got an order annulling his dismission, restoring him to his rank and piving him an honorable discharge, I know you will rejoice with me in this act of justi cy toa brave man.” The grounds upon which the 1 vocation was sought were conspiracy and perjury, as will be seen by the following letters, forwarded to Senator Brown as the basis of his action, and which form part of the recerd of the case. Gen- eral William A. Pile wrote:—‘‘The fifty dollars referred to was assessed on the sutler of the Ha vege and paid by Colonel Clendening, by m order, to defray expenses at headquarters which were not provided for by the regulations. No part of it was applied to the private use of him or any other person. My information convinces me that the prosecution was the result of conspiracy and, perhaps, perjury.”” Captain John D. Mac- farlane, of the regiuent, wrote :—"I am free to say that yours was a peculiar case, and that every- thing was done that coud be, right and wrong, fair and foul, toruin you. I know that men (not one only) were perjured. Brevet Brigadier General Bouton, who com- manded the brigade with which I served, wrote :— “I am fully satisfied that his prosecution was cansed by jealousy and malice, and that if no un- fair means had heen resorted to by his prose- cutors he would not have been found guilty.” Lieutenaut Avery, who was acting assistant adjutant general in the brigade, wrote:—‘Malice and jealousy were leading features in the pro: cution, Strenuous efforts were made to prejudice the officers of the brigade against him. * * * Misrepresentation and suppression of testimony were undoubtedly resorted to. * * * If no unfair means had been resorted to he would un- doubtedly have been acquitted.” I have herein, as briefly as the nature of the case would admit of, given you the facts from the record, the extracts from the letters being taken from a few of the letters and affidavits of a similar nature, which were forwarded to Senator Brown with the case. Ifthe statement should he deemed lengthy it should not be forgotten that I have been compelled to make i in justice to myself and the Union Republican Congressional Conimit- tee, with which | am connected as assistant secre- tary (not secretary, as stated in the articles aforesaid), by statements appearing in your col- umns, You will observe that [ make ‘no bare statements of my own, being contented to stand or fall by the record itself. BKaving reason to believe that your cofrespondent believed his informant stated the record correctly, I make no charge of a wilful attempt to injure me personally or officially; but have to reqnest that you will, so far as may be, correct the impressions which have gone out owing to your unintentional, but no less damaging, misrepresentation of the record in the case, J. HW. CLENDENING, E Severe anp Desratcrive Drovent iw Con- Necricur.—Connecticut is suffering from a drought more severe and destructive than any which has occurred for the last twenty years at least. While refreshing thunder storms and good rains have fallen in Massachusetts and along the northern line of our State, we have had no effective rain in this region since the middle of June. Corn is dying in most of the fields. It will not be half a crop, even if rain should now come. Tobacco will make a poor crop. It is curling up and ripen- ing irregular! Pasturing is destroyed, and many farmers in surrounding towns are, and have been since the 20th of July, feeding their stock from the barns, Hay will probably be higher next winter than it has been lately.—Hariford Times, Auguat 3. OANADA. Financial Jugglery—The Great Boat Raco—Release of Fenlan Prisoners— Riel and the Northwest—A Queer Cruise—A Horror of the Honsetop—A Missis« sippi Incident. Monraran, August 6, 1870, Apart from political news there is but little current in Canada to interest an American reader, and so this letter shall be merely a few para- graphs embodying the flotsam and jetsam of news items of all sorte thrown up by the waves of journalism. FINANCIAL, The annual statement of imports and exports for the past year has just been published. There is an increase of $3,000,000, or about four and three-quarters per cent, in imports, while the ex- ports show an advance of $11,000,000, or twenty per cent. The government returns show that only $400,000 worth of fractional currency has been placed in circulation, and another $250,000 is being issued. As some $4,500,000 of American silver was retired from circulation by the govern- ment scheme of exportation, and its place so well filled by the fractional currency that no inconvent ence has ensued, it would seem utterly impossible that so smalla sum of currency as $400,000 would be adequate for the purpose, which only three months ago took $4,500,000. That the public accounts and statements in Qanada are all cooked no one has ever doubted. But this last item is so egregiously incorrect as to cause much public comment. SPORTING. Two thousand dollars of the five thousand stake money, between the Tyne and St. John’s crews is already up. The race is to take place at Lachine on the 15th of September. Both crews will arrive here onthe 18th of this month, and have taken houses and engaged cooks at Lachine. There is a good deal of speculation on the resujt. The Tyne men are, as might be expected, favor- ites, but anything better than 100 to 75 or 100 to 80 is readily taken. An attempt will be made to get up ao single scull race between Walter Brown and Renforth, the English cham- pion. I hear that the New York oaramen think of getting np a four-oared crew to row the winners at New York. If thisis true, it must be borne in mind that by the articles the St. John and Tyne men cannot row together ont- side of Lachine unless the consent of the Lachine Boating Club has been obtained. The address of the Secretary, lator 8. H. Wallis, is Grand Trunk Railway, Montreal. THE FENIANS. The prompt justice done by the American gov- ernment in the cages of O'Neill, Starr, Thompson and the other Fenians, has disgusted the Canadian eer For the past three years they haye pre- icted that such a thing as @ conviction for tion of the neutrality laws by Fenians at the bands of an American jury was a thing imposmble. They have only one hope now, and that is that President Grant may pardon them ovt. In that case the British lion may yet roar. But if the poor deyils have to pide" in closo vison till their term is out, I don’t really iow what the ranting loyalists of Canada will do. A petition to the American govern- ment, or, rather, @ memorial to General Grant, from the Irishmen of Canada, has been drafted, and signatures were being canvassed for itin this city yesterday. Mr. F. B. MacNamee, one of the leading Irishmen of the city and form- erly president of the St. Patrick’s Society, leaves to-day for Ottawa. Ihear that the cnfens of his mission is to endeavor to obtain a similar recom- mendation, if possible, from the Canadian govern- ment. It will be represented that the Canadian authorities ‘have full faith in the honor of the American people, and in their intention to stop any farther raids. The Fenian movement bein; dead, the (magnanimous) Canadian government would not desire to have the punished too severely. ower to repress and readiness to punish, to re- jeage said prisoners, the people of Canada would greet such an act asa new link of friendship be- tween the two nations. To such an air I under- stand this document will be drawn up. Judge Coursol has been out at Sweetsburg, examining the Fenian prisoners held there. One of them— Thomas Murphy, a respectable farmer of St. Al- bans, Vt.—who was captured while driving a team, has been released on his own recognizance to ap- ea at the next session of the Court of Queen's ench, at Sweetsburg,in October. This is prac- tically his acquittal. The other prisoner—Captain Murphy, of New York—is still imprisoned, but T hear that he has applicd to the American Consal, Mr. W. A. Dart, to have his case investigated, : THE NORTHWEST, The popor amnesty to Riel and his fellows, which raised such a storm of indignation among the English speaking inhabitants of Canada, is now generally contradicted and discredited. I learn that an wrgent message has been sent by a friend of his in the government at Ottawa telling Riel to fly to the States for the present. This has been caused by the discovery made last week that over 200 of the Ontario volunteers, now forming part of the Manitoba expedition, had bound themselves by oath to lynch Riel, O’Donahue, Lepine and other prominent rebels, Advices from Fort Garry say that O’Donahue has sent an omissary to General Spear urging him to send Fenian aid to Manitoba so as to oppose the further advance of the expedition. Your corre- spondent at Fort Garry will, however, keep you osted, and his newsislikely to be more authentic, ff leas sensational, than the despatches from Red River to the Globe and Telegraph, the generaliiy of these being from ‘ Our own Special Commis- sioner ’’ in the back office. TRAGEDIES AND THINGS. We have had more than our share of what news- paper reporters call—or, rather, miscall— fatali- ies’ of late. A woman at Gloucester, near Ottawa, standing in need of a change of husbands, undertook to improve upon the modus operandi it Hamlet, and, instead of using cursed hell bore and hebenon in a vial, melted four ewter spoons in an iron ladle, and while her husband was snoring the snore of the righteous poured the insinuating fluid into his car. An unsteadiness characteristic of the amateur criminal marred the success of this otherwise good pileroniioet experiment, and the man survives although he has lost an eye, and the molten metal has burned his head and ‘face in the most shocking manner, cutting channels to the bone. The second horror was James street in this city. Fi stone to the third story by a w t a building on St. men were raising ndlass placed on loose rafters, when the beams gave way and men, | stone, windlass and beams.were all flung together into the basement. Two men, crushed to a jelly, never spoke; three more are mangled for life. The cellar was a very shambles—blood, brains, flesh, all in one pool—untila workman mingled the eeeey puddle with lime the thirsty earth rank itup. The Coroner's jury disagreed over a verdict, fiye being for accidental death, the other eight for a verdict of wilfnl murder against the contracters,whose names I put on record—Messrs Bourguoin and Plante. And finally we have lad a small Mississippi sen- | A market boat, at gray dawn, having no | sation, lights up, meta barge in mid channel, chary of coal oil. A collision ensued. The steamer went down in two minutes. Of her 115 passengers five are said to have perithed, though later advices bring up the death-roll to seventeen.
