SULTAN MURAD TO ABDICATE A European Threat of Armed Intervention. 4 BATTLE BEFORE KURJAZEVATZ. The Price of Silver Advances in England. THE EXTRADITION QUESTION. WAR IN THE EAST. THE EUROPEAN AMBASSADORS PROTEST AGAINST THE TURKISH CRUSADE ON SERVIAN CHNIS- ‘TIANS—ARMED INTERVENTION THREATENED— THE SUBLIME PORTE SUSPENDS THE ENLIST- MENT OF VOLUNTEERS—THE COMING ABDICA- ‘TION—DIFFICULTY REGARDING THE SUCCES- SION—THE SKELETON IN THE TURKISH CLOSET. (SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD BY CABLE.) Lonpon, August 3, 1876, The special correspondent of the HERALD at Vienna telegraphs, under the date August 3, that the foreign ambassadors have at last interfered and entered a protest against the present conduct of the campaign in Servia. A EUROPEAN THREAT. The despatch states that several ambassadors have given warning to the Sublime Porte that, un- tess the present system of enlisting volunteers as crusaders against the Christians is stopped, Euro- pean military intervention is inevitable. THE SUBLIME PORTE HEEDS THE WARNING. As a copsequence o! this warning the Sublime Porte has ordered that no more volunteers be en- listed against the Servians. THE SICKNESS OF THE “SICK MAN." ‘The HERALD’s special correspondent at Bucharest, under same date, reports that the Sultan’s fllness still continues. The paralysis from which he has been suffering still incapacitates him for the labors of state. The government is preoccupied with business which increases hourly. THE COMING ABDICATION. The abdication of Morad is imminent, and may be looked for atany moment. Some diMficulty may be experienced in finding a successor to the present Sultan, as itis stated on good authority that Abdul Ahmed Effendi will accept the throne only on cer- tain conditions. Report says that he insists, as a sondition precedent, that a convocation of physi- sians declare his brother’s malady incurable. In the event of a disagreement, which is probable, another consultation will be held. A REGENCY REQUESTED. Abdul Ahmed Effendi requests the establishment ofa regency, but as there is grave doubt as to the legality of this course it is not probable the request will be complied with. Ifnot illegal, it 1s at least contestable, and in the present condition of the Empire it is not advisable to provoke internal con- tention. HIDING THE SKELETON. The HERALD correspondent states that the gov- ernment has concealed the news of an undoubted and serious defeat in Herzegovina. FROGRESS OF THE CONFLICT IN SERVIA—THE REPORTS OF OUTBAGES BY THE ZEIBEKS MODIFIED—FACTS REGARDING THE RIOT AT SMYRNA—SERVIAN GUERILLAS INVADE Bos- NiA—A TUBKISH REPORT OF SERVIAN DE- FEAT. Loxpox, August 3, 1876, Tho statement telographed to the Paris Gaulois that the Zeiveks had killed ail the people in the streets of Smyrna is an absurd exaggeration, A letter to the Times, signed by an inbabitant of Smyrna, says:— THR FACTS REGARDING THE OUTRAGES “Three thousand volunteers arrived on tho 15th of July from the interior to embark for the seat of the Turkish war. They were permitted to parade through the Frank quartor en route to tho barracks, They plundered some shops and injured about a dozen per- tons, two of them seriously, The consuls visited the Governor and demanded the punishment of the culprita and security in the future, both of which were promised.’” AN RX PARTE STATEMENT.

This Is the largest train that ever passed over any road, it ‘s said, and the achievement of collecting and passing them without ac- cident or the slightest impediment to the general travel 1s considered an unparalicled railway achievement.

Wasiixetox, August 3, 1876. THE NON-APPEARANCE OF GOVERNOR TILDEN'S LETTER—ITS EFEECT LIKELY TO BE MARKED | BY THE DELAY—AN AIR OF PARTY MANAGE- | MENT. The non-appearance of Governor Tilden's letter to- day was a serious disappointment to bis friends among the democrats, and a Joke among tho republicans as Well as to tho inflation democrats, who like nothing so well as tosce the Governor put in a ridicnions light, The ictier was confidently expected here inst night. Everybody took it for granted that it would be in the New York papers this morning, and the fresh delay begins to make it ridiculous. There is no doubt that the Governor's dilatorinesa |! bas hurt him among the politicians in Washington. For some time the republicans acknowledged privately that the letter would probably be a forcible campaign document, and the Eastern democrats counted con- spicuously upon it as likely to bring a great many wavoring republicans to their side. It was whispered around that the Governor would speak in the most decided and Jacksonian terms about hard money, Souther outrages and all that sort of disputed points, and there was atime when a clear, ringing utterance from him promised to be very eftective, But the per- sistent bullying of the soft money men in the House and the repeated conforences with Hendricks have given an air of management to the delayed letter which | will, among the politicians here, at least, deprive it of its force, no matter how excellent its tove may be, Nor is this all. Governor Tilden was spoken of here | by his friends, shortly after tho nomination, as a sort of Andrew Jackson, aman who would stand no non- | sense, aleader of his party, and who would, if nec sary, force tt Into right courses; but some one re- marked to-day that “this Moses, who was expected to lead the democratic hosts, seems to have got lost in the wilderness himself.” pS Las ASS FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Wasuixcrox, August 3, 1876. THE ADJOURNMENT QUESTION-—-THE DEMO- CRATIC RANK AND FILB READY TO MUTINY— EFFORT OF THE LEADERS TO SHUT OFF IN- FLATION RESOLUTIONS AND PRIVATE JOBS. Tho rank and filo of tne democracy in the flouso are ready to mutiny at what they call tho strangulation policy of their leaders, It was only when tho Henao reached them this afternoon with its explavation of the reason for the referred resolution for adjournment that they saw how they had been overreached by their leaders, Hence, when Mr. Morrison offered his von- current resolution to-day for an adjournment till next Monday, the mutineers said:—‘Why, all the Senate has to do is to adopt this resolution next Saturday and we shall adjourn next Monday without a ghost of chanco being given to havo our bills passed.’ Almost every member has dozens of bills yet on tho calendar that are undisposed of, and as thero can be no suspension of the rules except during the brict period between the time tho Senate adopts the resolution and the actual hour of adjournment, it ig easy to sce that all such bills are doomed to a death of asphyxiation Mr, Morrison doesn’t say so openly, but it is well known that he and his fellow leaders of tho party aro anxious to keep the rank and file trom doing anything rash in tho closing hours of the session, when an inflation resolution or a log-rolling compact to Pr a lot of private jobs with appropriations in them would undo all the good work of Randall, Holman, Howitt and himself. HOW THE SENATE CAN FORCE AN AGREEMENT ON THE REMAINING APPROPRIATION BILLS. The adoption by the House of the resolution for ad- Journment puts it in the power of the Senate to forco an agreement on the appropriation bills which aro still in dispute, Should the Senate to-morrow morning concur in the resolution, Congress would be under the necessity of adjourning on Monday as agreed to, and as the adjournment motion originated with the Houso the latter would bocompelled to make the best terms it could on the appropriation bills or bo held respoosi- ble for their failure.

The committee find that ex-Secrotary Belktiap usurped control of the contract, taking itaway from the Quartermaster General, and that he did not give it to the lowest bidder. The evidence shows that Belknap retained the bids for two months and a bait betore he made the award, which he divided among | tour sets of bidders who were not on an equality in prices, and that three of the four were bought out by | Bridges, to whom he allowed moro money, conse- quently, than to the lowest bidders, Modifications were subsequently made in the terms of the contract favorable to Bridges. The committee arrive at the following conclusions:— That the’award was a disregard of official duty, and prejadical to the interests of the government; that tho alterations in the terms of the contract wero an abuso of ¢Micial power on tho part of the Sceretary of War, and finaliy that es the contract Is now in the hands of honest persons for completion, under a transfer made at tho instance of the Quartermaster General, the com- mittee do not deem it necessary to offer any resolu- tions for the consideration of the House, oither in re- gard to the ex-Secretary of Waror the annulment of | the contract, —_+——__—.

GiLMOKK'S GARDEN. A very remarkable bill was offered at Gilmore's Garden last night, Every piece on the programme was entirely new to the garaen. Tho band played Weber's overture, “Ruler of the Spirits,’ tho first “Leonora” overture, in E major, by Boethoven, and “Lyro and Sword,” by Liszi, Other works of lesser magnitude were presented. Liszt's work, arranged by & member of tho bana, is very fragmentary, and is full of terrible technical difficulties, The phrases are spasmodic and unsatisfactory, The wind instruments havo tho best of it in tho band arranges ment Gilmore's band played superbly last night, Levy gave, for the frst time, “Bel Raggio,” from “Sem+ irautde.”’’ He played on a new cornet; and it must be said that never hefure, cither by voice or instrament, bas the lovely aria of Rossini been given with such effect in the metropolis as by Levy last might, He was twica encored. Mme. Pappenticim sang with effect, “Ocean, Thou Mighty Monster,” trom ‘Oberon.’’ Mr. Liebling made the Weber piano ring through the Yast building in SB. Mills’ brilliant transcription of the “Beautiful Blue Danube” waltz, The Young Apolio Club, the Sympho- nia Quartet and Mr. Stanley contributed voeal solec- tions, The boautiiul garden attracis crowded au- dicnces since tho weather has become moro of a tem. perature calculated to bring people from their houses.

The word does not occur often in classical verse, but whero if does it is tuvariably with a long penultimate.
