6 RUSSIA AND TURKEY, Fierce Sympathy of the Musecovites with Their Fellow Slavs. WILL IT FORCE A WAR?) The Exodus of Russian Officers te Servia. Beruix, August 23, 1876, It cannot be denied that the great m: of the | Russian people are clamorous for war against Turkey, The intense aesire to support their Slavonic brethren fighting against infidel Moslems assumes constantly kreater dimensions, The Czur, strongly disposed to peaco, is alinost entirely isolated in his principles, even his family and court being decidedly in favor of the warlike movement, Although im a despotic coun- try like Russia the will of the sovereigu is absolute, apprehensions must be enterianed that a unanimous wish of the people for war will not be without effect on the Czar. Even uow signs are visible of the Emperor Alexander wavering in his previous decision, When, some days ago, he introduced his eldest grandson, she son of the Czarowitz, @ future successor to the throne, to the ranks of the renowned Paslowski 3uards, he commanded after the parade the ollicers to bis tent At the side of bis sen, a scarcely ten-year-old grandchild, wearing tor the first tme the regimenials of an ensign, the Emperor said ne was delighted he had been able | to spare so many years the dear blood of his brave Paslowskis, in a saddened tone he continued that perhaps the time would soon come when he must again rely on their tried bravery, thoroughly convinced the regiment would, as formerly, acquit itself gallantly of its duties ‘This speceh of the Czar’s was responded to with loud hurrahs, and universally interpreted by the oflicers as AN APPROACHING DECLARATION OF WAR against Turkey. Tho Russian government no longer attempts to check the growing agitations of the Slavophiles; the very passive attitude of the St. Peiers- burg Cabinet justifies the suspicion that it observes with pleasure the warlike tendency prevailing, if it be not even a secret coadjutor of the agitators, in order to say at some fitting moment the will of the people was to strong and unanimous they were finally compelled to comply with their wishes. Ailcomplaints of the Ottoman government concern- | tng the hostile language of tho press and meetings publicly held in fayor of the Slavs are unnoticed or re- reive a sarcastic answer to the effect that, according | to the new laws, the press enjoys uulimited freedom, and that the meetings were not for furtherance of the War but for support of the suffering and wounded. Vhe latter ion is a mere pretence, for it is.» well known tact that the money collected not only goes in wid of the wounded but rather directly into the Servian war treasury, The material advantage accruing to Bervia from Russia is not inconsiderable, and the | Amount derived from subscriptions may already be | counted by millions, In all possible places, in the house streets, at all railway and steamboat cijon | jority ie on the stations, in resorts of public amusements, coli e been put up. Lists, beaded by bigh als and officers, go from house to house, aud woo to the poor man who does not subscribe in proportion to lis circumstances. Whoever is auxious of obtaining & government contract, promotion or any other offl- benefit, does well not to let these petitions pass unheeded. lt even happens that some government | ofticers pay one, two or toree per cent of their sularie Many committees proceed with great astutences to ¢ tort large sums, inasmuch as they insert in the public papers the name of an individual having sent in a large donation, when such 1s not all the ease. Letters of shunksg ving and gratitude are then poured in on him from all sides, and in order not to have the annoyance ot contradicting these statements the sum mentioned is speedily paid. Only very few have suffictent courage hot to yiohi to such pressure. Even the former pres- ident of the Iinperi#l Bank, Baron Stieglite, chiet of the celebrated banking house of Stieglite & Son, was in this manner induced to subscribe 600,000 rubies, He At first refused to respond; but on the Empress driving to his house to express her esteem for accords ance of such a large sum as mentioned by the Golos, Wis vanity induced him to yiel, ‘The Mrange manner of procuring these contributions must aot, however, lag us to forget the real maguanunity of the people in Weir cbhariies, plainly proving with what enthusiasm the Russian clings to the develop, nent of the grand Slavonic 1dea—vii cial ERWCTION OF ONE SLAVONIC EMPIRE, | The Russki Mir is not at all wroug in comparing | | | the present movement with the rising of the people n 1512 against Napoleon.

SECOND DAY OF THE CONVENTION—-A FURTHER REDUCTION IN CENTENNIAL PASSENGER EATES—TALLE OF FARES FROM DISTANT POINTS, &C. The ticket agents attending the semi-annual Conven- {lon met again at nine o'clock yesterday morning at the St. Nicholas Hotel. The question of Centennial rates was again the subject of warm discussion, and there seemed to be great diversity of opinion in regard to the proper fares to be charged from distant points to New York and Philadelphia It was claimed on the part of some of the dolegates that the main or trunk | lines had already as much passenger travel as they could well accommodate, but that the distant roads and branches West and South needed liberal rates in order that inhabitants Yrom tne far sections of the country could avail themselves of the advantages of 8 visit to the Centennial. There had already becn a re. duction of twenty-five per cont on rouud trip tickets from the regular prices, The resolution introduced on Friday that half fares should prevail was lost, so that there was danger of a dissolution of the Couven- tion if some compromise was not made. Happily a compromise was effected in the followiug manner Mr. St John, of the Chicego and Rock Isiaud Railroad Company, offered a resolution, which was carried, “That the Convention adopt as Centennial rates. on and after September 15, the doubling the ount of special rates une way between Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St, Louis eastward; that the lines west of Chicago and St Louis make a reduction ot thirty-five | per cent from regular rates as estublished at the Con- | deut the changes of rates, if an vention of Inst May at Louisville, to be added to Cen- tennial rates at common poinis to New York and Phil- adelphia, and south of Oln0 to make a reduction of twenty-five per cent on Centennial tickets.”” This in effect makes a turther reduction of about ten per cent lower than previous fares, and seemed to be au acceptable compromise to the agents vail the roads. Tue Convention then resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole on the question of general passenger rates for the ensuing fall and winter, after which a ree cess was taken until one o’clock. It is understood at the old rales adopted by the General Ticket and Passenger Ay ’ Association last February, at Louls- ville, bo take effect May 1, holds good for the ensuing season, ‘They are as foltows:—Children under five years of age, ireo; between five aud twelve, half fare; extra baggage, When collected (hrough iron oue line to another, shall be at the rate of fifteen per cent per 100 pounds of the through passenger ratvs, The ox- tract trom the by-laws, section 7, of the association, 18 aisu pertinent at this time, showing by what authority the Convention have the power to ix the rates:—"*The right to make through rates between common points Shall be accorded to the company or companies having the shortest live between suid points; provided that the computation of distance shall be made by the usual route over Wuich through lickets are reguiarly sold und traius run in convection; and provided, further, that when a water route forms part of such 'line, and is in competition with a rail tine, then the rates of the rail ine shall be adypted in making the through rate; provided tha: such through rate shall not cxceed the ‘sum of the jvcals of auy rail line betwee such points.”?

I am in business on the street in question, and am continually a witness to the distress caused to poor fallen horses; in fact the street is as slippery sometimes as an ice pond, L noticed the fall of a horse ridden by a soldior at- tached to the United States artillery battery on their way down Broadway trom the ceremonies attending the Lafayette statue. The soldier must have been badly injured, as the horse partly ‘ell on him. Stage horses are coatinually injured from the same cause, Let the authorities sweep the sireet regularly abd properiy; also make ita penaity for store porters to pas their refuse of stores into the street, compeling them to put the same in ash boxes, By so doing tere would not be any dust to allay by sprinkling with water, The present sysiem is a disgrace to our local government. 1 bave a large acquaintance with mer: chants from the West and Souih, who come here to bay (heir merchandise, They all (eil me that this watering process ol our grand Broadway is a disgrace to ourcity, Then, again, the ladies are ail opposed to the matter, Just think of one wading through the mud, which cannot be avoided while crossing the street.

TWO AMERICAN CITIZENS ILLEGALLY DETAINED BY THY VENEZUELAN EXECUTIVE—WHAT THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT DID ABOUT IT. Some facts have heretotore been published in the Hkkatp concerning the harsh treatment received by Dr. Torry, a citizen of the United States, at the hands of the Venezuelan government, In an issue of June 9 the name of Dr. Torry was erroneously connected with the case of the schooner Midas, which was ac- cused by the Executive of Venezuela of being engaged i smuggling Tho fact is that Dr. Torry did not arrive in Venezuela until cighteen months afer that aflair, and the injustices of which he complains were done for ap enurely diflerent motive, He claims that be was un- lawfully detained by the Venezuelan government, and he seut a statement of the case to Secretary Fish, 10 order to obtain some redress, Since his return home he has learned from Assistant Secretary Hunter that the American Minister at Caracas was instructed to ‘‘ro- monsirate with the Venezuelan authorities upon the course they parsed.” This isthe only action taken by the United States in the matter. Dr. Charles W. Torry ia a reaident of Yonkers, N. Y., and in the early part of last February he went to the island of Curacoa for the benelit of his health, Upon the 1st of May he visited Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, Here be was introduced, according to his own story to Guzman Blanco, President of the Venezuelan Republic, who then treated bit with cour. After staying im that city a sufficient length of time Dr. Torry applied to the authorisies for a pass- port to return toCuracoa, He was toid that they would ive him insteat a passport to New York via Curacoa Tuder-tanding as he did the bitter feeling of Presideat Blanco toward Curacoa Dr. Torry accepted the oifer ‘At the same time, Thomas W. Bartram, also a citizen of the United ‘States, apphed for ‘a passport to the same destination, The American Minister, to make the arrangement as satisfactory as possible, gave Bartram a reguiar commission as bearer of despatches \o the United States government, Th eded to Laguayra, from which point the English steamer Was to sail, ‘here they re- ported to the American Consul, Mr. Henry Kingau, und their passports were vised by the Venezucian ofll- cer oi the port. They were, however, reiused tickets to go upon the steamer. At'the very last. moment the commander of the port gave them permission to get “into a smail boat and go out to the steamer, Immedi- ateiy aller starting, their baggage meanwhile reraain- ing behind, they were ordered to return, and were placed under arrest upon the oruer of President Bianco, They wera conveyed toa tort, where they were detaived for several hour: Then Blanco, influenced no doudt by the protesis of the American Minister, sent an order for their release and Permission to go on board the steamer. Dr, Torry says the whole cause of the trouble was his desire to go to Curacoa, tor which dependency of Hoilund tho President of Venezuela bas a strong die- like, Blanco wishes to destroy the commerce of Cura. cua, an island that is largely dependent upon Vene- or its prosperity. Blanco was turned away from the island some ix years ago, and his singular conduct ts supposed to bo the result of his spite against the place. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Wasninatox, Sept, 9, 1876, No information has been received at the Navy De- partinent in regard to the reported mutiny on board the United States sieamer Franklin, at Leghorn, on the 8th inst, On the contrary the department has a despatch from Rear Admiral Borden, on board the Franklin, dated Spezzia, September 8, showing the vessel was at that place instead of at Leghorn, Of. cials of the Navy Department are inciined to doubt the truthfulness of the telegram in the Paris Figaro in regard to the mutiuy, as that paper has heretofore published statements ‘affecting the American Navy Which were without foundauon. The Franklia is under the command of Captain S. R. Franklin, one of the best officers in the service, and the iast man, under whom a mutiny would occur. The ships also in cx- nt condition, and, being under orders to return v0 cause can be assigned for dissatisfaction among the men. Ideutenant Commander C. J.

COLLISION OF THE UNITED STATES STEAMER PLYMOUTH WITH A BARK AND SERIOUS DAM- AGE-—COMMANDER HaXTUN DETACHED FROM THE VANDALIA PENDING AN INVESTIGATION— NAVY YARD ITEMS, A serious accident happened yesterday to the United States sloop-of-war Plymouth while going to sea trom Ue Brooklyn Navy Yard on her voyage to Philadelphia, where she had been ordered by Secretary Robeson to represent tha United States Navy at the Centennial Ex- hibition. Through some unexplained cause, after get- ing under way, she ran into 4 bark anchored in the River, carrying away her headgear, mizzen top- must, Wrenching away her davits on the port side and smashing her bouts, besides injuring her bulwarks badly. After extri g herself she put back to the yard, where she bas been ordered to go under immediate repairs, As she has to be ducked it will take over three weeks to pit ber into a seaworthy condition, ‘The bark with which she collided was also severciy damaged, but her name is withheld by the yard oilicials. F Commander Haxtun, late in command of the United States steamship Vandalia, was yesierday detached from the command of the vessel by’ an order of the Scere- tary of the Navy directed to the commandant of the Navy Yard, Commander Nicholson, severely repri- manding Commander Haxtun at the same time for allowing the Vandalia to ve made use of as a pleasure vessel while on Ler trial trip, It appears that while returning to the Navy Yurd last week the Vandalia ran into the cob dock with a full head of steam on, carry- ing away her chain plates and anchors and starting her upper works, besides doiug other dumage, At the time she bad on board 4 number of ladies aud gentle. men, guests of the commander. ‘There is great activity ut the Brooklyn Navy Yard, the uumber of men having been increased this week to over 300 extra mex. The workshops are now all open and the yard has a busy appearance, a large number of men having been taken on at the oakum mill, caiker’s department, carpeaters’, ship- wrights’ and riggers’ lofts, Most of these men will be putto work on the sloop-of-war Trenton, now at Roach’s yard recewing her machinery.

Bradley ordored in his place, Quite a stir has been created at the Navy Yard by the order of Commander Nicholson, requiring the cous mander of the receiving stip and officers in charge of the yard departments to report to him personally from orning at ten o'clock. It is presumed that the Commandant has Deen obliged to pursue tuis course, owing to the num- ber of officers abseutuing themse.ves without leave. ‘The Swatara und Mayilower are lying at the Brook- lyn Navy Yard. the Swatara will undergo some slight Tepairs, she being ordered to be in Port Royal on Uc- tober 1, to participate im the drill of the vessels com. prising the North Atiantic teet, which will take place atinat station.
