Loxpox, August 16, 1876. A despatch to the Daily Telegraph from Constanti- nople says:—The Turks are inclined to issue a decree for the deposition of Prince Milan and nominate a suc- cessor, England has protested against this course through her ambassador,” {UX MODERATE PARTY IN SERVIA ANXIOUS FOR PEACE— NO SUBMISSION TO TURKISH RULE TO BE CONSIDERED— OPPOSITION TO ANY CHANGE OF RULER, . A dospatch to the Times from Belgrade says tha, while war preparations continue actively and whilo even the peace party consider any fate preferable to ‘the deposition of Prince Milan and the annexation of any part of Servia&o Turkey or even a poriod of Tur- kish rule here, at the same time a depression of spirits and a desire for peace among the moderate party and the Servian people generally make the intervention of tho Powers to be anxiously looked for, in the hope that it ‘would bring peace without any of the above conditions which it is feared the Turks desire toimpose. Rather than accept any ono of those the modorate party wil; Support the government to continue the struggie until Bervia conquers or cannot fight longer. They say the dep- ®sition of Prince Milan would occasion a dynastic civil war which would retard the progress ofthe coantry bwenty years. As for Turkish rulo here, the foremost men of Servia, and even the opponents of the war, say it is better that all the Servians perish in this struggle then submitto that. It is evident, if the intervention ofthe Powers does not bring peace, that no arrange” gent between the belligerents themselves is likely to.

SOUTHERN PRESIDENTIAL TACTICS Negro Voters To Be Protected Under a ‘Bloody Shirt” Resolution, ——— SOLDIERS AT THE BALLOT BOX. A Political War for the General of the Army. SHERIDAN’S DESPATCH EXPLAINED. One Hundred and Thirty-Eight Companies of Troops in Southern States. *Wasninctox, August 16, 1876, The order of the President to General Sherman con- cerning the uso of troops in the Southern States, which became public this evening, causes a good deal of ex- citoment hero, He takes advantage of tho resolution by Mr. Lord, adopted by a nearly unanimous vote on the 10th of August, concerning Southern political out- rages, to order the General of the Army to hold the troops in readiness for action in all parts of the South. Tho effect of this order will undoubtedly be to encourage the republican leaders in the South to strenuous exertions, and to facilitate thetr efforts in organizing and massing the negro voto, | It has been known for some time past that Southern republicans Ike Governor Kellogg wore very well pleased with what they heard at tho White louse, and 1t Is known that the President has said the republicans ought to carry at least foar Suuthern States—namely, North and South Carolina, Louisiana and Mississippt, What he thinks they ought to carry he evidently means to help them carry, Tho principal effect of this order when it becomes known in the South will be to drive the negroes back into the reprblican party and toenablo the managers to vote them. The colored voters lke to be with the mojority. This ycar a great many of them would have taken but little tnteress in the election in such a State as Louisiana, where they have become wearied ot the turmoil of polities and are doing well in their callings, Reports from there of a recent date show that a great many colored men were inclined to support the democratic ticket, and many others wero taking no imterest in politics, having confidence that their Tights were not iy danger. But under the stimutus of euch an order as this they will all be organized and marched to the polls to vote the straight republican ticket. There aro at this time about 7,000 troops sta- tioned in different parts of tho South, a very consider- able force tr it is precariously scattered, The foliowing is tho lettor Secretary Cameron bas written to General Sherman:— Wan Dnrarturst, Wasmixcron, August 15, 1876.

THE DISTRIBUTION OF SOLDIERS IN THE BE- CONSTRUCTED STATIS--ELRVEN STATES GAL- RISONED BY ONS HUNDRED AND THIRTY- HIGHT COMPANIAS--HALY A DOZEN REGI, MENTS THAT MIGHT BE SPARKD TO FIGHT THR INDIANS. Wasuixcrox, August 15, 1876. The President’s Message asking Congress to allow the epecial enlistment of 6,000 volunteers to serve against the Indians for ‘six months or tho war,”’ bas directea public attention not only to what Prosident Grant, General Sherman and General Sheridan have united tn calling “the possible needs of the army in consequence of existing hostilities,”’ but to the distribution and nom- bers of the army in the Southern States. General Sheridan, in his appeal to General Sherman for rein- forcements to be secured by an application to Congress, wrote, “I have stripped every post from the lise of Manitoba to Texas;"’ and General Snerman, in forward- | ing General Sheridan’s letter to the President, says:— “L invite your attention to the f.ct that after stripping | nearly every post in his military division except those in Texas andthe Soarh he has only been able to roin- force General Crook to the extent of 1,774 and General | Terry 1,873 men for offensive operations.” TUR DIPRESSION CREATED by roading these words casually ts that in the desire to reinforce the columns operating against the Sioux a heavy draft bas been made on the garrisons and posts in the Soathern States, and that the “army of occupa- tion,” whicn, as alleged, has been maintained there In the interest of radical politicians has been depleted to merely nominal proportions, An inspection, however, of the roils at the Adjutant Genoral’s office in Wast- ington shows quite a different state of affairs, and that, despite the urgency of the crisis in the Sioux country and on the frontior genraliy. Tho garrisons and military posts in the eleven recon- structed Southern States have been practically undis turbed,’ It is not intended in this connection to make uny reflection ppon or to attrivote any design of mis. representation (o either General Sherman or General Sheridan for what they have said about stripping mili- tary posts to strengthen Generals Crook and Terry. On the contrary, General Sheridan is quito explieitt in saying that he has confined the stripping provess to thé region between Manitoba and Texag But the patitic have gathered their impression from their letters to the President, and from the newspaper ac- counts of the occastonal passage of a battalion of troops through the Western and Southwestern cities to tho seat of war, that every availaplo soldier has been takea from the peaceabie parts of the country and sent either to the Sioux country or to the outposts border- ing thereon, aglance at the following statement of the actual distribution of the regular army in the eleven recon- structed Southern States will tell a different story. Within their territory—the limits, it will be remem- bered, of the rebel contederacy—the United States military establishment at the present writing comprises 138 companies of soldiers, divided between the three arms of the eorvice as follow Companies of intantry 92 Batteries of artillery 20 Companies of cavalry 6 Total... From this showing, as an exhibit of the so-called “occupation of the South,” should be deducted pretty mneh the whole force of artillery, which is stationed along the seaboard from Fortress Mouroe to Fert Barran- cas, and would practically be so. stationed if the Iate Tebellion had never taken place. It is a suggestive fact, however, in this connection, that the artillerymen are distributed chiefly to the Peaceful and quiet seacoast region of Vir- gipia, North and South Carolina and Florida, where the policy of reconstruction, as interpreted by the re- publican party, has not been disturbed by domestic violence, while the infantry soldiers, who usually would share these posts with the artillerymon, are con- centrated in such States as South Carolina, Mississippi, Louistana, Alabama and Georgia, where the White Livers and other sympathizers with the enemies of the radicals, or REPUBLICANS, “HOST DO CONGREQATE.”” From this total we suould also deduct the twenty-six companies of cavalry who are stationed exclusively within the limits of Texas, chiefly along the line of tho Rio Grando and who, confessedly, exert little or no in- fluence whatever in the plan or policy of occupation of the South, their services being devoted to the protec- tion of the border from incursions of Mextean guerillas aud the frontier from depredattens of the Indians, It is also fair to make allowance for the large infantry force stationed in Texas comprising forty five companies in all who are largely engaged in assisting the cavalry in watching and pro- tecting the border and frontier, although it 1s a ques- tion whether withouta “policy of occupation’ this force of cavalry and ifantry in Texas would bo main- taincd at iS present size, With all these allowances it will ve quite apparent trom an inspection of tho statement below that an armed force of fully five regiments of infaniry and one regiment of cavalry 1s now doing service in pre. serving peace in the South. How mueh of this force could be spared to help Generals Crook and Terry, aud how sparingly the military ‘posts in the Souh have been stripped to reinforce them are matters fo: the public to form their own opinions about. Tho distribu. tron of troops by companies in each State ts as tol- Texas—45 companies of infantry and 26 ccmpantes of cavairy. Louisiana—12 companies of infantry.

GENERAL SHERMAN’S OPINION OF THE RU- MORED BATTLE BETWEEN THE INDIANS AND CROOK—REPRESENTATIVE STEKLE AND HIS PLAN FOR RAISING VOLUNTEERS. Wasmxcron, August 16, 1876. General Sherman says to-night that he bas received | no advices of the rumored engagement of General Crook and forces with the Sioux, and of the alleged consequent considerable loss in killed on both sites. By bie manner he seomed to regard tho whole thing a3 Incredible on account of the questionable channel through which the information comes. Upon being asked about the enlistment of the 2,500 additional troops and if there would not be difficulty in getung them for the regular army term of three years, he said that, on the contrary, thoy could get all the Teeruits needed at once, as soon as they were advertised for, He says that orders will be immediately issued to recruit mon at the various Porte, and efforts wil! be made to get as many as possi- ble in the West; but at the"same time steps will be tuken to obtain recruits in the East. He docs not think the proposition made by Representative Steole for the enlistinent of volunteers for a short time would have been preferable to filling ep the regiments of the regular army, bit is firmly convinced that the latter plan is the much more advantageous and pricticable, REPRESENTATIVE STEELK, * well as others from the frontier, say that they can not get men to enlist In the regular army for three years as easily as they could recrmt regiments of volunteers fora term ot six months, or during the emergency. Ho drew up the original bill and since its defeat the Western Senators, Representatives and Delegates have been very much chagrined at what is regarded as the triumph of the War Department, which from the start bas been streno- ously opposed to the organization of any volunteer regiments for use in tho frontier againsk the hostile Indians, Represontative Stee! says that had bis bill been passed he would havo immediately gono West and orgapized a regiment of 1,000 men.

A NEW HOW THE SHCRETARY OF THE TRBASURY PRO- POSES TO D¥AL WITH THE THREE HUNDRED MIDLION OF FOUL AND A HALF PER CRNTS, Wasunixetos, August 16, 1876. Hlure of Congress to make any alleration tot t ct, it Las become the voretary of the Treasury to ree sumo the fund! the fire-twentias, especially as the condition of the money market and the stato of the publi eredit are such as to make the present an oppor- tune time to renew funding operations, Mr. Morrill. received DumMerous propositions during the past month im the shape of offers for the new four and a balf per conts, but with the agitation of the, Silver bill and kindred topes in Congress he felt that the negotiation might be ettonded with more or uncertainty, and deemed it best, therefore, to wat ontl these unsettling matters were out of the way, With the adjournment of Congress he believes the op- portanity bas come, aud the public will doubtiessleara | In a few days by offcial announcement trom the Treasury that the three hundred million of four and a half per cents has been taken by a new syndicate. The | fact will be remembered that all the five per cents authorized by the Funding act were closed out im the latter part of last year, and that Mr, Bristow in euter- ing upon the negotiation of the four and a half per cents was desirous of having their term of duration extended to thirty | years, But this, like the dozen other financial meas- | ures mooted in Congress, never came to anything, and | the iaw as it stands, unamended, provides for $30,000,000 of four and a half per ceats aad $700,000 ot four per cents to complete the obliteration of the six | per cent fve-twenties, Mr. Morrill’s belief that the opportunity i8 now afforded for a suecess!ul negotiation . four and a balf per cents 1s based upon the fact atin selling $2,000,000 of tive per cents out of the Alabama jndemnity fand the other day he got 106.05 in gold for them, and he sees by Wall today that (he ‘same class of bo: at the equivalent of » of the Alabama five per cent bonds at 105.05 was regarded as a very sattslactory transaction by the officials at the Treasury Department. and while this be done with so much facility it is obvious that the Secretary of the Treasury ought not to continue to pay six percent interest, Furthermore, money is known ta be very ensy and seeking investment at alow rate of ine | terest in good securities, especially foreign capttal, the owners of which are more willing to take a long bond at alow rate of interest thaa one paying a higher rate and likely to be called in at any moment A short ca‘culation based upon the prices above given will show With the | or ndiog tnt with the ‘ive per cents whieh have only about the ud @ fraction, new four per cents, aro a desirable investment at par 1m gold. has been settled to Secretary Morrill’s satisiaction ; but the delay in proceeding further comes out of the competition of bankers in and ont of the old syndicate, his award of the new loan ts disputed by tho several claimants therefor, and no Jater than this afternoeni he was waited upon by a delegate from the New York vanks—viz., Mr. George S, Coo—wno asks that the negotiation may be thrown open for cumpetition to the bankers and to all who like to subscribe, The parties who represent the syndicate plan. comprise such firms as the Seligmans, Belmont representing the Rothschilds, Morton "the Bar. ings, Bliss & Co., Drexel & Co., Fisk & Hateh, and’ Winslow, Lanier & Co. Now Mr. Morrill te a believer in the syndicate pl He says bis succes- sors tried the free competition plan and advertised the: 11 over the country to make {t po r. bnt failed, whereupon the syndicate had to be en into finish up the work. ‘fhe syndicate” is! the recognized financial agency abroad, and to 18 five per cent loan plo go for investments, Syndicates understand the — bust of handling and negotiating such loans, and the best way with the four and a balf per cent js to let one of them take hold of it. Three hundred million doliars ts a sora deal of money, and our people have not so much money ready to invest right away in a four and a hall per cent ernment bond. While these are the views entertained by Secretary Morrill, tt is suid that President Grant ts tn favor of throwing open tbe loan to everybody, but 18 not com- mitted very warmly to such a policy, It is known that ho has pot jaid any restraint upon Mr, Morrill, bub will alow him to take his own course. ‘The Tronsury Depratment is in a good position to assist any arrangement that may be reached, inasmuch: as the former chie! of the United States Loan Division, Mr. H. B. Bigelow, bas been tor some years in London managing the syndicate details connected with the joars heretofore negotiated, and is in a position to facilitate a ready handling of the new loan should it be put upon the market, It is thougnt at the Treasury that if mone easy a8 it is now, and there is no serious financial derangement in Europe, no diff. culty will be met in disposing of the four and a half per cent loan in a reasonably short time, NDERBILT, COMMODORE VA During the early hours of the day, commencing at four A.
