THE WAR IN TURKEY. Origin of the Difficulty with Herzegovina. Y= The Rayahs' Refuse Pay Taxes. to BREAK-UP OF THE FEUDAL SYSTEM Rumors of a Plot to Reconstruct the Turkish Empire. THE CONSULS AT MOSTAR. Viexxa, August 29, 1875. Tam authorized to state that at the first outbreak of Wouble in the Herzegovina the Court of Austria was anoficially but plainly told by the Turkish Ambas- tador, who is a very sensible man, that order could wy be restored by force in the disturbed districts, be- tause the leaders of the revolt would not listen to rea- son and simply avowed their RESOLVE TO PAY NO TAXES. “The insurgents,’’ continued the Ambassador, with food-humored irony, and in the mild manner of a Curkish gentleman, ‘‘do not number four hundred rebels, all told, and they aro mostly idle rogues who wantto go about thieving in company during the present disturbances.” ‘This representation was made to Austria because, in the first place, it was quite truc, and inthe next because the Porte was anxious to avert any fresh interference with the internal affairs of their government. For- merly, when Sir Stratford Canning, the great Elcbee, who afterward bloomed into Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, ‘was pleased, a Turkish Vizier gave himself no further concern with foreign affairs, and could go on soothing his mind with fresh pipes and coffee till something oc- curred to put His Excellency out of temper. To do Sir Btratford Canning only justice it must be admitted that he generally took a reasonable view of revolts, and, feeling that sort of interest in Turkey which a man generally cherishes for his own private property, he was always ready and willing to assist in putting them flown. But of late years the mantle of Stratford Can- ning has been torn into a dozen shreds. Then Russia and England were the only Powers which took a work- ing interest in Turkish affairs; now Germany and Italy have sprung up into great Powers, Austria, delivered from her internal dissensions, is growing more and more uneasy about her eastern frontier. France is eagerly looking out for occasions of regaining her diplomatic influence, and the Porte is consequently so harried by Ambassadors that It tries whenever possible to negotiate over their heads. For this reason the Turkish Ambassador at Vi- nna was privately instructed to avold all despatches, protocols, memoranda and official rigmarole; frankly tell the Austrians what had happencd in the Herzegovina, and how the mischief could be at onco stopped. It was a wise course enough, because the only event which Turkey had to dread was that the Austrian borderers, ‘who are a very wild set of mon, on the astern frontier, and amazingly fond of fighting, would volunteer in considerable numbers to keep up the riot unless it were promptly put down, and that thus it would extend to pruportions which could not be foreseen. They had little or nothing to droad from the frontier population of Russia, because the Russian government has a way of its own of putting down insurrectionary tendencies and never counte- nances them, whereas THE AUSTRIAN BORDERERS have been in a chronic state of semi-rebcllion for the fast forty years. It was, therofore, the vigilant help of Austria which the Turks were anxious to gain, and doubtless every Austrian statesman was really willing to assist them if the thing could have been done quietly ; put unfortunately the press had got fast hold of the business, and diplomatic complications began to crop up in every direction, The Croats wero especially hot apon it, raised subscriptions for the wounded and voted throagh the Agram Parliament a large sum of public ‘money to foment the rebellion. It had, therefore, passed out of the ‘‘secret and confidential” stage when jt might have been settled by a humorous conversation between the Ambassador and a Minister, and it had be- tome what is called a public question, which can never be settled at all by fair and equitable methods. Indeed, the state of affairs in the Herzegovina was in that con- dition which may endure for any time if left alone, but which falls into remarkable confusion at the slightest Internal commotion. THE PRUDAL SYSTEM survived thero in full force, and a traveller going through the Herzegovina might easily fancy himself transported back to the time of the Crusades, The country was ina very barbarous state, and itis by no means clear that the feudal system was not the best form of government adapted to its necessities. Life was held very cheaply. No private person unprotected by a powerful following could have lived in safety, and there- fore it was quite as well that poor men should feel them- selves under the guardianship of local chieftains, who ‘were held in check by each other. Justice of a rude, Tule of thumb sort was promptly administered, without zost, and ifone swinehord stole the pigs of another he had to give them back again and received a beating. Whether this would be an agreeable social condition for New York or Washington is not tho question. As a mat- ter of fact it existed and had existed, without much complaint, for several centuries in the Herzegovina, THE HISTORY OF THIS OBSCCRE SPOT in Europe is svon told. It is situated between Montene- gro on the south, Dalmatia on the southwest, Bosnia to the cast and Turkish Croatia on the north. It has a pop- ulation of 300,000 souls. It was formerly ruled by the Counts of Chulm, a rude race of warriors, little known Bave to diligent students of the Middie Ages, and at a still earlier period it formed part of the ancient King- dom of Croatia, At the beginning of the fourteenth century it was united to Bosnia, The Emperor Fredo- tick IIL. erected it into an independent duchy, which he conferred as a fief on the family of Cossac, It was conquered by Mahomet II in 1466, and was definitively ceded to the Turks by the Treaty of Carlowitz, in 1699, The Turks had one invariable way of dealing with such conquests, The conquered were either forced to embrace the faith of Islam or to pay heavy tribute and suffer other inconvenience. If, how: tver, they underwent the rite of circum- tision cheerfully, and conciliated thoir conquerors by timely gifts and much submission, they found their new masters a very easy and good natured set, The Turks found the feudal system existing in tho Herzegovina, and they loft it there. The lords of the soil or representative men were all made Mohammedans Bs speedily as possible, and the Turks did not trouble themselves about the serfs, who, it was naturally sup- posed in that age, would adopt the faith of the lords without parley, Precisely the contrary event happened, because tn | the course’ of time it will be generally found that the fiche part of a population will be found professing tho faith which is most in accordance with its interests Now the lords of the soil in the Herzegovina found many advantages in being Mohammedans, but the poorer sort of people had no advantage at all in changing their religion. Indeed, their lords would not allow them to do 80, lest they should have tried to emanci- pate themselves from feudal service. Consequently the lords of tho soil soon became fanatic Mussulmans and the serfs romained decided Christians; that is to say, they all kopt the terrible fasts of the Greek Church and | worshipped a black man who was represented in their churches as a faithful portrait of the Redeemer. That was about all they knew of religion, and thoy tilled the fronnd and kept their flocks in tolerable content till 1861, when they got up somo bloody riots, which were suppressed by THY VURRCK HUNGARIAN RENEGADE OMER PACITA, who had taken service in Turkey after the extinction of the revolt in Hungary and the flight of Kossuth, No doubt the riots in the Herzogovina might have been suppressed at any moment up to the present ime had the Turks been permitted to follow their own storn devices without interference, To give an idea of who really insignificant character of tho disturbance at first, it 1s only needful to cite a few instances, A I | majority of his colleagues he is so. NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1875—fRIPLE SHEET. few days ago news of a bloody encounter between the Turks and the insurgents was reported, and it was added that “the result was unknown,” which is the formula invented to signify that the Turks had gained an advantage, On exam!nation into the circumstances of this sanghinary struggle, it turned out that some burglars had broken into @ house and carried off a | servant girl Then they had been pursued and forced to give up tho girl, but had run away from | punishment. A great part of the refugees, rayahs, who pretended to seek safety in Austria, were cattle stealers, who sold their booty for next to nothing in the Austrian fron- Uer districts, where markets are regularly estab- lished for that purpose. Many muskets and other arms have been also stolen by pretended volunteers from Austria and sold in Croatia. In fact, the revolt has been hitherto kept up for the benefit of bands of rob- bers. Nevertheless, the aspect of affairs now looks serious, much in the same way as a fleabite would look sorious if it were treated with applications of oil of vitriol, - A TROUBLESOME BISHOP, 3 named Strossmayer, not altogether unknown as a member of the Church militant, has subscribed $15,000 all at once for the insurgents, and has pastorally in- formed the cattle stealers, ravishers and all those whom his news may concern that they are engaged in A HOLY WAR. Accordingly, the leaders of the insurrection assem- bled yesterday in the Kloster Kozerevo, a religious establishment, to rejoice over the Bishop’s money. The Turks also have received intelligence, with such feclings as may be better imagined than described, that the friendly offices of their friends and allies in the pacification way have resulted up to the present time in this, that a person rejoicing in the name of Ljubibratick is shortly about to proclaim himself GRAND VOIVOD OF HERZEGOVINA, though his right to do so is vehemently contested by another man who asserts that he is Prince Nikita and that “he will, after a week, wage war against Turkey” — on Bishop Strossmayer’s dollars, I presume. The wild nonsense of all this may be deduced from the fact that there are no hereditary princes in Turkey, and, the very name of Nikita signifies “nothing.” Tho ‘non- sense, however, resolves itself into a very grim fact for Turkish bondholders, when all the cabinets and presses of Rurope are busy with it, Therefore Nedshib Pacha, a Turkish captain of much energy, has been sent against the insurgents with 5,000 men and great stores of ammunition, He began his march three days ago, and, as there is yet no news of a fight, it is certain that the rebels have run away from him with much agility. Two battalions also joined the Pacha at Kleck, and passed the defiles to Norran. More Turkish troops are pouring into the country. But, on the other hand, the sensible old Grand Vizier, who di- rected his Ambassador to speak so plainly to the Aus- trian Court, was immediately afterward dismissed from office, and Mahmoud Pacha was appointed in his stead, which means the COMPLETE TRICMPI OF RUSSIAN INFLUENCE and the defeat of Austria, so that the ladies and the clergymen of the Empress of Russia’s tea table will now have things all their own way, and the rebels will no doubt receive important aid from them in the shape of money and advice, though Russia will not contribute insurgent volunteers. At present the rebels are only masters of Zuba, Ban- jani, Rubina, Dobrujak, Piva and Saranci, an insignifi- cant part of the country. The Duga Pass, which is the most important military position, is occupied by the Turks, But both the Montenogrins and the Servians are restless, and begin to think that they see their way to wrench some further concessions from the Turks. ‘A rough, red, radical Ministry has abruptly jumped into powor at Belgrade, with one Stervtscha as Premier, and “the insurgents commanded by the priest Zarko” were marching toward the fronticr when they were stopped by a large force under Dervish Pacha, which put them to flight. Prince Milan, however, who has many ambitions and is about to marry a young wifo, would like very well to enlarge his territories, and is probably giving the rebels an indirect support. At present the great difficulty in the way of a set- tlement is that none of the parties interested can trust each other, Tho leaders of the revolt have now gone too far to retreat; and they tell their followers, with some truth, that concessions from the Sultan might be all very well in their way if the Sultan cannot be got rid of altogether; but that no promiges from his agents can be believed, and that even if credence could be given to them the Sultan is a despotic sovereign and might revoke them by a decree as soon as he found it safe todo so, As for the insurgents they have nothing to promise, except, that they. will be quiet, and they will not bo quiet, partly because they are afraid of ret- ribution, partly because they would lose their celebrity, and they have no other employment or means of living than the possible outcome of the present business, which may enable them to claim places and indemnities. Itis not, however, so certain that tho Sultan will much longer have places or indemnities to give. A project to which it is said that the British Stock Exchange is not unfavorable for many reasons, is much discussed just now. It consists in A PLAN TO DETHRONE THE SULTAN as incapable, to distribute the Turkish possessions in Europe among Powers which will take the burden of the Turkish national debt with them, and to hand over the revenues of the empire to the Viceroy of Egypt un- der such conditions as shall enable him to meet his own liabilities, now growing very serious, It is added that the title of Caliph, or any other suitable designation, might be revived in his favor. At present the caso stands thus:—Server Pacha, a Turk of considerable education and importance, has been appointed special commissioner to the insurgents, and has been sent to Kleck in the Snitan’s yacht. Con- sul General Wassich, the Austro-Hungarian delegate, will meet him at Mostar, whero a grand congress ot peace is to be held. Consul Jastrebow, the Russian envoy; Consul General Vienne, tho French delegate, and Consul Durando, the representative of Italy, will also give the benefit of their advice to the meeting. England will probably be represented by Consul Holmes, and all these gentlemen will get promotion if they are lucky and have active friends. The value of their de- Nborations may be conveniently estimated by an Amer- ican who will give himself the trouble to imagine how and when the war of secession would have ended tf com- missioners had been sent from China, Japan, Burmah, Siam, Greece and Turkey to put a stop to hostilities till they (the commissioners) were fully satisfied not only of their expediency but as to the manner in which the military operations of the North should have been con- ducted, and that they had been ready atall hours in the day or night to receive and investigate all complaints which might have been preferred against the Northern generals or the government of Washington within the previous ten or twelve yours. Well, perhaps intelligent Chinese and other Oriental philosophers might have como decently out of such a business, They would have known at least that war material is not wholly made up of talk and rosewater, But how about a company of European consuls, mostly of the humanitarian order, which well nigh driveth soldiers mad with its teaching, also partly of the commercial school with a keen eye to business? No disrespect is intended or implied toward the Euro+ pean consular body in affirming that it is not wholly composed of statesmen whose diplomatic qualities com- | mand universal respect. If a consul gets $3,000 a year after twenty years’ copying of merchants’ protests and countersigning invoices he considers him- self professionally a lucky man, and compared with the But such rewards will not tempt able men, and European consulates aro merely a system of outdoor relief for the old aris- tocracies or a mere refuge for respectable mediocrity | which is too dull for trades or professions, I knew a Consul in Bosnia who devoted all the energies of a shrewd, small mind to the selling of damaged water- proof shoes to the natives, and I think he is there now. | The Turks will hardly come well ont of their diffenttios when their business is conducted and suporvised by politicians of this stamp.

Gillespie, a Custom House broker of No. 72 Wall street, was brought before United States Com- missioner Osborn yesterday, charged with having at- tempted to corrupt an ofticer in the Appraiser’s Depart- ment of the Custom House, with intent to influence the said officer to allow certain goods to be admitted to entry in violation of the revenue laws.

COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS. Before Recorder Hackett. SENTENCES. John Gibbons, who was jointly indicted with Donald Harris for burglary in the first degree, pleaded guilty to the second grade of that offence, State Prison ten years, Wichard Keeler, who pleaded guilty to stealing $570 in moncy from Norman B. Cornwell, was ar- raigned. His counsel, in mitigation of punishment, said that the young man was tempted to steal the money to go to Europe to see the performances of the Irish team. He urged that that patriotic motive should influence His Honor in passing sentence. The Recorder sent him to the State Prison for three years and six months. William J. Anderson, who was found guilty on Mon- day of grand larceny and remanded for sentence, was arraigned, In consequence of the previous good char- acter of the accused the Recorder sent him to the State Prison for two years and six months. Patrick Hynes, who was jointly indicted with Ander- son, pleaaed guilty, and the same punishment was in- flicted upon him, FELONIOUS ASSAULT. ‘The first case tried by the jury was a charge of feloni- ous assault and battery preferred against George C. Holland by Robert M. Scott. The evidence showed that the accused was the minister of the African Union Colored Methodist Protestant church, and that while visiting Mrs. Mary Brown at her house in West Thir- tieth street, on the morning of the 30th of July, Scott came into the room; that as soon as he arrived Mrs. Brown repeated a remark made by Scott that he saw Holland drunk, which gave rise to an altercation, in the course of which Scott claimed that Holland stabbed him in the back with a razor, intheting a severe wound, Ile was confined in the Bellevue Hospital for a month, The reverend gentleman told a different story, the sub- stance of which was that without any provocation Scott made a violent attack upon him, and that, in self de- fence, he cut him with a small knife. After the occur- rence he proceeded to the station house and gave him- self w Mrs Brown testifled that Scott assaulted Holland first, but she did not see the cutting. Her cross-examination by Mr. Rollins caused considerable amusement. She said that she did not like Holland more than Scott and that she did not experience religion under the ministra- ticns of Brother Holland, but “got it” down South ten years ago. His Honor the Recorder intimated that the case was a colored Beecher scandal, ‘The jury rendered a verdict of guilty of assault with intent to do bodily harm. Holland persisted in saying that he was innocent and that he wont to Mrs. Brown’s to christen a baby. The Recorder sentenced him to the State Prison for three years. William Watson pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with obtaining money by false pretences, On the 12th of August he represented to James H. Sny- der that he owned a boat called the Walter Brott, and by “happening” to meet a man on the corner who would not take a $20 gold piece in payment of a bill, Watson borrowed $15 from Suyder and forgot to pay it. He was sent to the State Prison for eighteen months, THE GRAND JURY. In tho afternoon the Grand Jury came into court with some indictments, and upon the Recorder inquir- ing of the foreman whether they had dismissed any witnesses who were summoned to attend, without ex- amination, he replied in the affirmative. His Honor then urged the Grand Jury to be more diligent in the discharge of their duties and thusgto co- operate with the Court and prosecuting officers in their ction Com- “efforts to dispose of the large number of criminals now awaiting trial, A FEMALE BIGAMIST SENT TO THE STATE PRISON. Jomima J. Jackson, alias Thompson, was tried and convicted of bigamy. The proof adduced by the proseu- tion was that she was married to Clark Jackson in July, 1867, and that sho was afterward united in marriage with James H. Thompson a year ago, while Mr. Jack- son was still alive. Her counsel raised several technical objections in the course of the trial, There were miti- gating circumstances, which led the Recorder to sen- tence her to State Prison for one year, BURGLARIES, William Reiter and George Corning pleaded guilty to burglariously entering the premises of Christian Claus, No. 225 Fast Houston street, and stealing $15 worth of cigars. They were sentto the Penitentiary for two years and six months, Frederic Schwab pleaded guilty to burglary in tho third degree.

MEETING OF THE BENCH AND BAR—SPEECHES AND RESOLUTIONS EULOGISTIC OF THE DE- CEASED. A crowded meeting of the Bench and Bar of this city was held yesterday in the United States Circuit Court to take action in respect to the demise of the late Judge Lewis B. Woodruff, of the United States Circuit Court, The high esteem in which the deceased was held throughout the profession was evinced in the prompti- tude with which judges and eminent lawyers, and even the younger members of the Bar, thronged up the steps leading to the court room in the now Post Office, and tho rapidity with which the spacious room was almost instantly filled after the opening of the doors, The bench was draped in mourning, as was the high niche immediately behind it and tho two windows on either side. Veteran judges with whom the deceased had been associated on the Bench in times past, men much older than was deceased, were present, with contemporaries of his student days, and again younger aspirants to judicial or forensic honors who recognized in the honorable success of the late Judgo, from the opening of his career to its distin. guished close, an example worthy of their imitation, There was an evidence of respect(ul and subdaed inter. est in the occasion which had brought them together not always apparent at similar meotings. ‘The proceedings were opened on motion of Mr. Eras- tus FE. Benedict, which was nnanimously carried, elect. ing as chairman Hon. Samuel Blatchford, The chair. man read the call convening the mecting. On motion of United States District Attorney Bliss the following named gentlemen were elected vice presi_ dents :—Hon, Charles L, Benedict, Hon, Nathaniel Ship. man, Hon. William J. Wallace, Hon. W. D. Shipman, Hon. Murray Hoffman, Hon. Daniel P. Ingraham, Hon, Charles A. Rapallo, Hon. Charles P. Daly, Hon, Noah Davis, Hon. Henry, E. Davies, Hon Claudins L. Monoll, Secretaries—John K, Burrill, A. J. Vanderpoel, Charles F, Sanford and B. K. Pheips. 1, THE RESOLUTIONS. Mr. Joseph H. Choate then read the following resolu- tions: — ‘The members of the Bar of New York haye heard deep aud general sorrow of the death of Mr, ruff Identified with the administeati community for a poriod of forty years, his en tinwal progress of ever increasing honor and po ing upon life with every advantage of education, an curiched by the fruity of severe study, he attained in early manhood a conspienons and responsible position, and thenee- forth to the end pursued the practice of the law ay a science and not asa trade, and did his part always to maintain and uphold it as a dignified and liberal profession, He scouted tho low arts that would debuse it, and ablorred and de- nounced every attem worthy pu slept,” and he w mazes of the law. His labo the cause of his client was Joarning and honest and manly char loading figure among his brethren, an ornament of the pror fession and & most valuable member of avciety. But, great as were his merits and virtues at the Bar, his rich and varied and nation for twenty-five years as an udge are now his chief title to reverence of what constituted a judge was that rd which exucted of him the study, the liveliest conscience or tendency to prostitute it to hed 8 hi westy, and he did his best to live up to it as nearly ashuman infirmity would permit. In whatever court he sat the authority of his decisions was. powerful with his associates, and recognized at the Bur. Serving suc- the Court of Common Pleas, the Superior Court urt of Appeals, he did his full share to shape and frame the body of the law ay it prevails among us to-day, and his rich and growing experience and 4 widely extending reputation of his ability and learning attracted to him large measure of public attention. Se that when upon the re- organization of the C! States a eo was to be foun ers and re- duties in this great cireuit the general sense of ssion and the community approved the judement of President in selecting Judge Woodruff as the proper How ‘well the choles was justified the record of his Judicial labors in that court for the last slx years will testi In bidding farewell at the grave to this eiinent and use- ful lawyer and judge the members of the Bar desire to put their high estimate of his mind and character; to cherish the memory of his life and tabors, and to commend to one another and to those who follow them his excellent example, Resolved, That a committen of three be appointed by the Chair to present these resolutions to the United States Cir. Court, the Court of Appeals and the General Term of the Supreme Court at the next session, and to ask on behalf of the Bur the entry thereof upon their minntes, and that cone of these resolitions be transmitted to the family of the sod. Ex-Judge Bosworth then delivered a short address eulogistic of the deceased, with whom he had been associated on the bench of the Court of Common Pleas for six years. Of the nine judges of that court who had, like himself, been associated with Judge Woodruff, himself and ex-Judges Hoffman and Pierrepont alone survived. Referring to his demeanor on the bench, ho said:—‘Judge Woodruff’s manner on the bench has beon criticised by some as harsh and austere, but this ‘was but an outward show, arising from the sincere and earnest and zealous manner which he brought to the performance of his high duties, These were marked qualities in the man, He was not imbued with any feelings of unkindness; and it woul! have been to him most painful if he thought he gave occasion to be suspected of a conscious want of courtesy to any member of the profession in his interercourse with them. I have not known him so well since his ap- pointment to the federal courts, but [ know that the coneurring testimony of all who practised before him was that his ability, industry, elliciency and zeal were then as conspicuously exhibited as in the other judi- cial positions he had held, His life was active, useful and distingu ed, and he left behind him the character of an upright judge.” . Mr, George Gilford and Mr. G. W. Goodman briefly reviowed the life of the deceased, to each of whom he had been well known as student, practitioner and judge, and these gentlemen spoke of him in the most culogis- tic terms. Mr. Evarts was the next speaker. He remarked on the frequency on which the Bar had been called upon, before renewing their labors after a summer vacation, to meet on occasions like the present to mourn the loss of some eminent member of the profession. The pro- fession had been criticised for their supposing there ‘was any necessity or public propriety in their holding such meetings and enlogizing the character of one of their number who had fallen by the way—that it wat 8 sort of assumption, as if tho profes. sion was distinguished over all the other useful employments of life in that regard, But no such crit cism can be passed upon this exhibition of our f ings and sentiments when the loss we deplore is even in a greater degree the loss of the community, and when the lawyer whose career we celebrate has filled the high position of a great magistrate and a useful judge, In closing a highly eulogistic tribute to the de- ceased Mr. Evarts said that the moral qualities of the deceased Judge fitly expanded and dignified the great judicial character; that he desired distinction in the profession with promotion on the Bench, was an honor to him as it is to us. But no man ever found him secking elevation by any unworthy arts or pursuing competition with his rivals by any secret means. When there was an office for which himself and friends thought him suitable, he was ready to avow his position and as ready to accept office, but not to run after it. He regarded human life not as agame but asa duty, and the maintenance of that duty as the highest success of human life, He relished thoroughly that. noble proposition of the Sacred Scrip- tures:—Now ifa man also strive for the mastery, yet is he not proud unless his strife be legal.’” ‘The resolutions were then moved in appropriate Tanguage by Judge Blatchford, and were passed unani- mously. The Chairman read a letter from Judge William D. Shipman, who was unable to be present, in which letter he thus speaks of the deceased Judge:—‘Within a strong, rugged frame beat a warm, gentle and manly heart, whose sympathies were limitel by no position or sectarian lines. * * All who knew him wiil mourn the loss of a just man and an able and incor- ruptible magistrate.” J. H Choate, ex-Judge Davies and United States Dis- trict Attorney Bliss were appointed a committee to draw up a copy of the resolutions and present them to the family of the deceased, The mecting then adjourned.
