[SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD BY CABLE. ] Lonpon, July 29, 1876, The special correspondent of the HERALD at Vienna telegraphs that the rear guard of Prince Nikita’s army, which was defeated a few days ago by the Turks and was reported to be in full retreat toward Montenegro, has had an engagement with the pursuing Turkish army and defeated it. OSMAN PACHA A PRISONER, They laid an ambush for the Turks, who unsus- Ppectingly fell into it, and after a sharp encounter the Turks were completely routed, and their com- mander, Osman Pacha, taken prisoner. EFFECTS OF THE BATTLE. This victory is considered most important at this juncture. Osman Pacha was one of the best of the Turkish generals, and his defeat and capture will be asad blow to the Turks and a corresponding advan- tage to the Montenegrins and Servians. MURAD EFFENDI RESIGNS, The HERALD correspondent at Vienna also tele- gtaphs that the Sultan, Murad Effendi, has resigned. Murad has been in bad health ever since his acces- sion to the throne, and has utterly failed to satisfy the ulemas and the softas. A VIGOROUS POLICY DEMANDED. ‘These fanatics have the enthusiastic and blind support of the Young Turkey party, or party of action, and demand a more vigorous policy in the suppression of the msurrection and repudiate all foreign intervention in the affairs of Turkey. THE COMING MAN. Ahmed, the younger brother of Murad, is the Idol of this party, and bears the reputation of being man of great boldness and decision of character. If report speaks truly of him, he is just the man for the present crisis in Turkey, an Osmanli leader of the old school, who would personally assume the direction of affairs, rule the country with an iron hand and arouse the old Ottoman spirit. \ AHMED TO BE SULTAN. As reported in a special cable despatch to the HERALD two days ago Ahmed has been appointed regent, and now, as a matter of course, he will be- dome Sultan and be invested with the sword of Os- man. MURAD’S INCAPACITY. Murad Effendi seems to have been haunted by the ghost of his uncle, the late Sultan, Abdul-Aziz, and has given himself up completely to a life of seciu- ston and dissipation, leaving his Ministers to their own shifts. WHAT NEXT? News of great importance may be looked for from Constantinople at any moment. PRINCE NIKATA’S ACCOUNT OF THE BATTLE.

How It Is Proposed to Obtain a Surplus of One Hundred and Forty Millions. WHAT SHOULD BE DONE WITH THE SOUTH. Sararoca, Ja'y 29, 1876, The ripple of political excitement occasioned by the arrival of Gevernor Tilden yesterday has subsided for the present, The Governor lett here at noon to-day to return to Albany and to devote himself to the prepara- tion of that long looked for letter. Although tbe sub- jects he intends to discuss are formed in his mind ho has not yet commitied them to paper—at least in (he succinct and proper order and careful phraseology which he wishes to employ in bis formal acceptance of the position of standard-bearer of the party he claims to represent. He wants to have bis po- sition and purposes clearly and fully stated to the country, The assumptioa that when he came here yesterday he brought with him a rough draft of his letter for the purpose of comparing notes and splitting financial hairs and fixing up nice phrases with Governor Hendricks, so that both letters would read like two parts of a great State paper, is essentially erroneous, They did confer carefully and fully on the general question of the canvass andon some particular points of public policy, butas neither letter has yet been put in shape, neither gentleman knows exactly how the other intends to say his say when he comes to put it in permanont form and revises it for publication. Governor Tilden is astute enough to know that tho Tepublicans intend to make all the political capital they possibly can out of his alleged improper connections with certain railroad corporations and the fact ia that all the time ho has been able to spare from his imperative officiat duties has been devoted to the preparation of comprehensive answors to all the Accusations that have boen brought against him, in- cluding his answer tothe suit of tho St. Louis, Alton and Terro Haute Railroad, which he is required to make on the first Monday in August, However, be has now gone home to prepare his letter. It will be longer than perhaps he himself would wish it might bo, and longer than probably anybody elso desires to have it, because he intends to elaborate ana discuss as fully as he can in such a document certain questions of public Policy. TILDEN'S FINANCE POLICY. Ho secs the necessity of mecting the financial issuo squarely, and in going into tke canvass he ig anxious that the republicans — shall not have any undue advantage on the question of. a sound and substantial currency ; therefore he willspeak very decidedly and fully upon finance. The views he will take are that resumption of specie payments would naturally and speedily follow such a chnngo of administration as tho country requires, without any specific action on the part of Congress, Tho sum of $100,000,000 or $150,000,000 in gold would be suttictent upon which to inaugurate resumption, because the banks having as security for tfelr speculation the bonds of the government, which could ut any time be turned into gold, they could redeem their currency whenever cailed upon without oppressing their debtors, Tt is a question of confidence in the banks and in the government, and this he is certain ho can establish, if clectod, soon after bis inauguration. He believes that the sum of $150,000,000 will be ample with which to commence the practical solution of the specie paymont question. In this connection ho will take occasion to denounce the bad faith of the party in power in having for popular effect appointed tho 1st of January, 1879, as the date of resumption, when, in fact, no prepara. tion has been made to put the promise into practice. On the contrary, instead of accumulating specie for the purpose of resuming, there is now one-third or one- fourth Jess gold in the ‘Treasury than thero was when the act was adopted by a repub. lican Congress in accordance with the policy of the administration; therefore, tt is now a palpable fraud upon vhe people, by the republican party, to enact a law and make no practical provision for carry- ing it into effect. He holds tbat there can be no such forced resumption at a specitiod time, but that tho re- suit which the majority of the people of the country undoubtedly desire will be naturally brought about by the revival of our industrial aad commercial interests and the reduction of the expenses of every department of the government. RIGID RCONOMY. Tn order to provide a surplus fund im tho Treasury upon which to base resumption he favors such a rigid and large reduction of ex. penses by abolishing useless offices, suspenaing unnecessary public works such as new custom houses; post offices and public buildings in Wasbing- ton and elsewhere, which the country does not abso- Jutely need at pr nt. The annual expenditures upon harbor fortifications, which are comparatively useless, since We aro at peace with the world and in no danger of foreign invasion, and the expenses of the army and navy can be materially reduced without impairing the efficiency of these departments. By stopping extrava gant and unnecessary outlays and abolishing the sys- tem of fraud that hos been carried out under the pres. ent administration in the matter of public contracts a great saving can be made. TNE QUESTION OF REFORM, The general subject of reform will also be enlarged upon in Governor Tilden’s Jettor of acceptance, which will point out some of the principal ways and means by which it can and should be effected, He will not expatiate particularly upon the question of reform in the Civil Service, because the general policy he pro- poses will naturally include a thorough reform in that branch of the administration of the government. He ig in favor of the employment and rotention of capable and honest officers in every department, THX CONDITION OF THR souTH and the execution of tho Jaws in that, as well as in every other section of the Union, will recetvo due con- sideration. There is good reason to believe that Gov- ernor Tilden’s intentions are substantially the samo views upon tho recent outrages in the South as havo been expressed by the Henao, and that the Hamburg Sioux should be severely deait with, THY ONE TERM PRINCIPLE, He is also quito in accord with the Hxnatp upon the one term principle, and will probably suggest that the constitution be amended £0 as to forever set at rost all discussion on that question, These are some of tho points that he will, more or legs, elaborate im his letter, which will fully mdorse in every particular the St, Louis platform. HENDRICKS AND TILDEN IN ACCOKD. Governor Hendricks 1s still at the Grand Union, and will remain here unt:l after Governor Tilden returns with his letter of acceptance, which he hopes to have roady by the middie of next week. There is unques- tionable authority for stating that while Tilden and Hendricks hold different opinions upon some points of financial policy there will probably be no issue be- tween them on the vital issue, Hendricks has been greatly impressed by Tiiden's vorbal statements un the subject, and they are both in accord upon the necessity of resumption of specio payments as soon as tho policy can bo carried out without detriment to the interests ofthe country. Hendricks is waiting to sce Tilden’s views upon paper before ho issues his own manilesto, and both documents will probably be published to- gether. Hendricks has maintained that tho House of Representatives should pass a bill in harmony with the democratic platform respecting the repeal of the re- sumption clause, But it now seems to bo conceded that Congress will adjourn without taking any action on the matter, although the Governor says he has no information from Washington on that subject. He suys be has alwavs held that currencies of different vaiucs are an evil to be remedied and avoided; that there sbould not be bat one kindof money of one value and another of another value for different purposes, That it 18 of great importance that the currency of the country shall be of a uniform standard and convert- , ible at the pleasure of the holder: but that he has not | employed, irrespective of their action in the strike, believed this could bo brought about by an artificial Contraction of the currency without great injury to | the business interests of tho country. He believes equally with Governor Tilden that a return to specie payments woull be best accom- plished by economy in public expenditures and official retrenchments through roform in every branch of the public service, and the consequent re-estabteh- Ment of confidence and promotion of national pros- perity, as indicated in the St. Louis platform. There- fore he does not imaging that there will be any sub- stantial difference ia the statement of their views in their respective letters of acceptance, for he holds that both willbe in harmony with the party platform, Ho will give some expression to his views on the question of reform, including that of the civil service, and in whieh he is also in accord with Governor Til- den, Ho says this reform should bo thor- ough, but that it cannot be brought about by the removal of any one oMcer, even of the Presi- dent himself, The evils result from the vicious system which has prevailed, and which requires for its eradi- cation now elements in the administration, pledged to faithfully carry out the complete reforms which the country requires. The purity of a new administra. tion, he says, will depend very much upon the force of character and determined purpose of the head, and these qualifications aro to be jound to an eminent de- gree in Governor Tilden. Governor Hendricks docs not intend to touch upon tho one-term principle, but he will speak of tho situation in the South, and say that no man or party is true to tho interests of the country that desires to promote antagonisms oF animosities betwoen tho sections; that it should be one of the duties of an honest administration to make citizens of all classes and races feel that they aro to bo securoin whatever righis the constitutional laws of the country recognize, and that in any strifes that may arise the government should not be a partisan, but that within its constitutional power it should protect the rights of all, Asto the question of tho importa- tion of Chinamen imto Colorado, noe thinks it was well for tho party to speak frankly and fully asitdid in the platform. Ho says ho hopes never again to eee the remorseless proscription for political opinion which has prevatled during tho last eight years and which has been of so much discredit to the admin- istration. Goverrer Hendricks 1s confident of the success of the party in his own State in October, and entertains no shadow of a doubt that thedemocracy will carry the country in November, COLONEL WHARTON’S REMOVAL, THE OFFICIAL HEAD OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT ATTORNEY FOR KENTUCKY CUT OFF IN THE INTEREST OF THE ILLICIT WHISKEY AND TOBACCO RINGS. Loutsvinne, July 29, 1876. Information having reached here yesterday of tho nomination of a successor to Colonel Wharton, United States District attorney for Kentucky, a forner law partner of ex-Secretary Bristow, it caused quite a sen- sation, Mr. Wharton was interviowed by a Courier- Journal reporter with reference to the cause of his removal, He replied that his removal was without netice to him either from the President or the depart- ment, He believed, however, that it was duo to the influence of Hon. John D, White, republican member of Congress from Kentacky. He said that in May iast he received a letter trum White in which the lattor expressed a wish to have his (Wharton's) assistance im securing pardons for such resi- dents of bis Congressional district as were indicted in the United States District Courts at Covington and Louisville, In his letter, whilo dis- claiming any purpose to prevent the enforcement of the law, he says:—<‘If such could be done my opinion 18 that it would do much toward suppressing what is termed ‘moonshining.’ The offences tor which par- dons should be granted, If granted, ure those of minor importance, viz. :—for making and solling unlawfully whiskey and for unlawfuily dealing in tobacco, If you can do s0 I'll be obliged to you if you would furnish me a tabular statement showing the names, residences and offences tor which indicted of those of my district who may be indicted at Louisville or Covington,” Colonel Wharton says he was not able to concar in the view that the unlawful making or selling of whiskey and tobacco was of minor tinportance, He was unwill- ing to aid in the wholesale pardoning of those persons who had been persistently violating the internal rove- nue laws, aithough they were of Mr. White’s district, and, regarding the request or demand of Mr. White as impertinent, if not worse, he took no notice of his let- ter, and did not furnish the tabular statement asked for. Since then White, he says, has becen diligently engaged in manufacturing prejudicial statements aguinst him to the President and to the Department of Justice, and has at last succeeded ir taking off bis offi cial head. Wharton says that White was aided by tho fact that he voted, at an early period of the present session, against a joint resolution which repudiated the “third term” idea, and he believes that White voted that way simply to obtain the eur of the President and control his patronage. Wharton further says that ho does not know whether White was employed by illicit whiskey distillers in his district or not, but his course has been precisely what it would have been had he been so employed. Only last mouth a number of White's constituents were indi for illicit distilling and pleaded guilty. Wharton that the great ma- Jority of tho ilheit distilling in the State is in White’s district, AMHERST’S NEW PRESIDENT. Bostox, July 29, 1876, The terms upon which Professor Seelye accepts tne Presidency of Amberst College are said to be as fol- lows:—He is to have $4,000 salary, without any per- qaisites; to continue also the duties of Prolesror ot Mental and Moral Philosophy, and to have the libert to complete his present tert in Congress, all ot whic! details are in accordance with his own wishes.

THE EXHIBITION. a A Day's Ramble in Several of the Departments, What the English, French, Belgians and Americans Display. Paraperrnta, July 29, 1876. To go through the English, Fronch, Belgian and American departments—which are the really fine parts | of the display in the main building—is like wandering amid an endless array of splendid shop windows. Among the varions methods of titillating the fancy that of wandering up and down bandsome streets and looking in the shop windows is not by apy means the worst, Thoso wno would “Walk all day like the Saltan of old in a garden of spice” have good reasons for that taste; yet ono of these pas- times may very protitably be varied with the other, and perhaps the majority of tho men and nearly all the women would profer the treat of the shop windows, Any great city is in this respect a perennial fair; and the dazzle of the jewelry, the dry goods, the turniture, tho porcelain, the pictures, to which city people become indifferent, is the greatest attraction of the city to country cousins sated with-the beauties and sim- plicities of nature, Im the exposures here Presented one can seo all that is finest from the great streets of all the great cities; and the short rambie takes in the boulevards and the Rue de la Paix; Regent street, Oxtord strect and Pic- cadilly : the Rue Montagne de la Cour, in Brussols, and the innumerable Broadways of our American cives, In some respects the rambie here is better than the ramble in those streets, In European — cities they do not make so great a use of display windows as we do, In London, even in Paris, one sees an obscure, stufly, iil furnished window, or perhaps no window at all, for an establishment ‘hat could dazzle the eyes of any visitor in | the world with the beauty and valuc of the fabrics or jewels it has for sale, One might pass ten years in London and never guess trom tho shop windows that it was possible for the London furniture makers to so completely ravish the eyeot tiste as they do here with the display of artistic furniture. There is bewilderingly haudsome furniture in France, England and the United States, and in the first two there is remarkable inaividuality and even nationality in the character of the designs and in the work, Ourown makers bave naturally worked on the same ideas and reproduced them with fidelity and suce cess. At least one New York house is not benind avy in the world in its eflects, WOMAN AND HER WORK, In jewelry, silverware, musical instruments and in a large range of manufactured articles wo are the peers of older people; but in some of the most beautitul fabrics We havo no standing whatever, which te, how- ever, no reproach to our hundred years, since they are,’ perhups, the last graces of nges ‘of civiliza- tion, Such laces as are exhibited in the ,Bel- gian depart may well dissatisty any lady with the hard tacts of life that prevent her trom pos- sessing a fair share of them. It is the only display that, 1n the effect 1t produces, leaves the imagination so far behind, as if that swift moving faculty were mounted on a crippled nag. Is it not somewhat queer that all our feminine lunatics who scream year in and year out about woman’s mission and woman’s work, and the means by which wonan spail sustain hersell in independence, have not given some thought to the introduction and naturaliza- tion of an art inuebted so much to the fairy fingers of giris and coarse country women in Europe? Not more than one woman iu fifty thousand ever paints a picturo lit to put beside the ordinary pro- auctions of ordinary.men in that line of art, and tho work of the few ssulptresses there aro is notiveable lose for its intrinsia excelionee than for its feminine authorship; but of all this beautitul lace there 13 prob- ably nota piece but has some woman’s work in it, for here 18 a case where tue feminine quaiities of delicacy to sense and deftness and dexterity in manipulation in- sure success, PORCELAIN AND CHINA, Our display of porcelain is not only not to be put in comparison with that of foreign countries, but it 1s #0 poor as not to be noticeable artistically, und yet it 1a ptoce of rapid progress that there ‘is any dis- play at oll, But a tew years since wo mado no china, Now we make what compares favorably with the coarser ware of the European countries, und the rest is only a question of time; for we are like the Irishman who had bis head ‘and shoulders out of purgatory—all we want is a start, The French and English displays of porcelain aro among tho most attractive fentures of the Exhibition, In fineness of quality and manipu- lation France maintains her superiority; but in the wlo- t of eflectiveness, in the beauty’ ot the forms studied, and in the relations of color England is j and opinion ts consequendly diviced as to the achievements ut the two nations in this depart- ment. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Pont Rovat, July 29, 1876. The Corvette Vandalia, Commander Milton Haxtun, sailed to day for New York, All well on board. THE MOHAWK, & MOURNFUL OBJECT OF ATTRACTION AT STATEN ISLAND—THE YACHT TO BE SOLD. The stately yacht Mohawk, her great tall masts still standing, lay yesterday beside the pier of the Coast Wrecking Company at Stapleton, Staten Island. Num- bors of people wandered down to see her throughout the day, Many came irom New York, and few could fail to gaze on the smiston vessel withont being incited to melancholy reflections, There was the shattered skylight through which the rescued made their peril- ous escape, and beneath which Commodore Garner, his wife and friends perished, A doxen sailors wero at work on different parts of the deck, The furniture had all been removed from tho cabins and tho pieces of lead vallast were being taken from the hold.

The awning att was carelessly hoisted, and under it sata portly man giving instruc- tions to the sailors. About twenty fect of her star- board taffrail was splitand broken. The black paint had been rubbed off in various places, and the ribbon of gilt around her sides was worn away in others, Al- together her appearance was that of a vessel that had experienced an extremely rough time, Her sails wero gone and her topmasts were in course of being Jowored, She is never to sail the seas again aaa pleasnre yacht. Her associations were too sad for | that, but after being overhauled and put in tho right shape she will be sold as acoasting schooner or an oyster boat, An oysterman, it is understood, has already made an offer for ber of $20,000. One of her smatl boats, the miniature model of herself, floated at the bows and sat @n the wator like a duck, another was turned up on the pier, with her stern stove in. For some days yet the uniortuvate Mohawk will continue to be a mournfal object of attraction, ATTEMPTED MURDER, Benedict Swan, of No. 21 Boyd strocs, Newark, mar- ried a daughter of John Fink, residing at No, 220 Liv- ingston street. Recently his wife died, and Swan col- lected $1,000 insurance upon her life, Ho at once be. gan a course of dissipation, and ina short time had fquandered the money on wine and women, Yester- day atternoon he proceeded to Mr. Fink’s home, aua inacoarse and offensive manner demanded monoy.

WAS IT MURDERED? On Friday night a human monstrosity was found in the well on the farm of John Miller, about a mile irom | Wostfold, N. J. Tho body was that of a colored male child, and had evidently been in the weil for some time. Ithad three legs and tour arms Two ol tho latter were of natural size, and the others were smail and deformed The third leg grew out back of the natural iegs and was bent up uuder the body. A negro woman pamed Ellen Shelton gave birth to this mon- strosity in July, 1875, and it bad been missing since September, when tho mother sent it away, she said, to Elizaveth, to have its superfluous limos amputated, The mother wa: nce arrested and committed to the County Jail on the charge of murdering the child. She ‘was persistent in denying avy knowledge of the chiid or of its death and appearance in the well, The case has caused great excitement in the community, A THIEF'S FATE, Shortly after one o’cioek this morning William Maher, aged thirty-one years, mate of the schooner Ellen, of St. Jobn, N.

Emma Albani, When, in 1873 (the second year of her engagement at Covent Garden), the young Canadian first attempted a character upon which Christine Nilsson (the original in Paris and Lon- don) may be said to have set her seal,.ner laudable am- Dition was justitied by the result, Milo, Albani’s suc. cess was euch as her warmest admirors could have wished, That there were short- comings—not in. her conception of the personage, which answered every expectation, but in occasional passages—is true; Mile. Albani, however, to whom e: perienco is a teacher never unheeded, because she never ceases to study for improvement, has conquered whatever remained to be conquered, and her Ophelia now takes rank with any of her most finished achiove- ments—even Elsa and Elizabeth, which have recently elevated her so high, not merely in tho estimation of Wagner's worshippers, but of connoisseurs in general, | Her earlier scones aro marked especially by the gentle reserve wo are used to associate with the ideal daughter of Polonius; nevertheless, in tho soliloquy, ‘Abt! quando Wamor,’ when Hamlet, after approaching Ophelia, as though to speak, shuns her and disappears, Mile, Albani gave so much eloquent expres- sion to tho feelings of the disheartened maiden that sho fairly roused tho audience, who applanded unanimously and called her three times forward. Tho last scene, as always—the Scene of Ophelia’s madness and suicide—was the crown- ing point, M. Ambroise Thomas, the thoughtful com- poser, who has furnished touching and characteriatio music for the situation, so renders it, and his Ophelia, whoever she may be, must needs go with him. Here Mile, Albani leaves no opening for criticism. Her de- livery of the address to the syren ‘Bella e bionda’— wedded to the plaintive Swedish melody which M. Thomas has so pootically interwoven with the con- text, first as solo for Ophelia, subsequently in choral barmony, heard behind the scenes, while the half un- conscious maiden floats listlessly down the stream— was simplo and touching in equal degrees; and the rest, Into particulars about which we are not called upon again’to enter, was of the same calibre, Mile, Albani hag many doserved successes, but few so genuine as thig ‘A more engaging and charming Ophelia could hardly b¢ imagined,” By ALLEGED BURGLAR ARRESTED, Ofcer Brush, of the Sixteenth precinct, yesterday arrested James F.
