TROUBLE WITH TURHEY.-A serious emoroEho III
our relations with the Dvan has arisen, as follows:
Sarkis Minasian. who has for many years acted as
the resident agant in Turkey for the sale OF Dr. j.
c. Aver 4 Co.'S medicines, driven by the increase
of his business II necessity for more room, built
his warehouse in Constantiacple several stories
higher after having obtained tue Necessary permit
from The authorities. The lmans OF q neighboTiag
mosque which overlooked the premises demanded
a large present in money, which was refused. Ihey
then applied to the Grand Nizier for the enforce
ment Of an absolute law, which had been diSre-
garded two hundred years requiring him to take
down the building TO eighteen feet which was gran
ted, and they commenced the work of demolition
Miuasian then applied to the American Minister,
who Eotlfed the sublime Porte that American
property could not be thus tIited WITH and that the
demolition must cease. Then commenced the usual
course Of MuSSulman prevarication and promises,
but no real redress. Finally Minister Morris in
formed them that il their depreGations continued,
he shoad order the {. s ships Of war 10 enter the
Bosphorus aud Nesssr- Ayers medical warehouse
would not be alone rooaesS. A stroke OF his pen
could have laid the whole city under the sweep
ei American cannon, backed by men who are not
scheoled in the lessons OF tear. This brought them
10 their senses and speedy redress. MinaSian has
now arrived IN this country to present the case to
our State Department fer indemnity. At length

WASHINGTON, November 20.
The Congressional Committee on Re
trenchment, which has been i'm session ex-
amining witnesses for several days past,
investigating the cotton frauds In the
southern States, adjourned yesterday, to
meet again on Friday.
The sessions of the same committee and
their acts are secret, but 1t has trauspired
that cotton to the value of somewhere In
the neighborhood of $300,000,00O has been
seized by the Government and that prob
ably not one-tenth of the amount realized
has accrued to the Government.
Thaddeus Stevens has taken his old quar-
tors on Capital Hill. and to-day received a
large number of callers. lie has prepared
u bill for immediate passage to regulate the
removals from office. 1t is more stringent
than Senator Trmbull's, and provides that
no one rejected by the Senate shall be again
nominated or appointed to any Office for
three years. Mr.. Stevens receives daily
hundreds ofletters from all directions, urg-
ing him to stand firm and fear not.
