A STUMP SPEECH IN New PLAcE.-It is
all very proper to give credit where credit is
due and to '.render unto Caesar the things
which are C@sar's," but we do not see the
precise necessity of injecting into the official
monthly report of the condition Of the public
debt stump speech in favor of the present
administration. 1t is true the debt has been
very handsomely reduced under General
Grant, but it really seems to us that the people
who have paid their heavy taxes without COM
planning deserve the credit therefor fully as
much as the administration under whose eye
and cognizance the late Congressional salary
grab occurred and at whose connivance the
salaries of the President and other public
Officers we're enormously increased, for all of
which the people will have to pay in the way
of enhanced taxation.

The New Warlike Troubles In Central
Asia.

The very interesting despatch which we
published yesterday from our special CORE
spondent at Tashkend, in the khanate of
Khokand, in Central Asia, is entitled to more
than passing notice. The military subjuga-
ton and occupation Of the Khanate of Khiva
by the Russians appears to have stirred up all
the surrounding wild and warlike tribes of
that vast desert region known as Turkestan
and Of the surrounding semi -barbaric nations.
Turkestan is a desert waste, of an area of
nearly eight hundred thousand square miles,
sprinkled with fertile oases, and intersected
by several rivers, including the ancient Oxus,
tributary to the Salt Lake or Sea Of Aral, the
valleys Of which are exceedingly productive.
This extensive country of semi -barbarous
khanates or kingdoms and wandering savage
tribes Of traders and robbers is bounded on
the north by Russia, on the east by the
Chinese Empire on the south by the lofty
mountains of the Hindoo Koosh, which look
down upon the ''Vale Of Cashmere" and by
Atghanistan and by Persia; while on the west
its arid deserts extend to the desolate shores
Of the Caspian Sea-
Over and around all these immense desert
regions wars appear to have broken out-wars
between the wild Turcomans and the Rus
slams; between khan and his rebellious SUBJ
jects in one quarter between the Persians
and the Afghans, and between Kashgar and
the Chinese. AS briefly sketched in our de-
spatch- which, to reach this Office, has trav-
ersed nearly half the circumference of the
globe-these wars and rumors Of wars appear
to be as senseless as the conflicts of SO many
focks Of kites and crows in the air. Nor do
we care particularly to know the purpose of
the revolt in Khokand or of the war between
the potentate of Kashgar and the Chinese,
nor Of the difficulty between the Afghans and
the Persians. 1t will suffice for the present
that what with all these warlike disturbances
in Central Asia, and what with the active hos
tilities OF the Apache Turcomans against
the Russians, Russia is promised abundant
employment for years TO come in the subju-
cation, pacifcation and civilization Of Tur-
kestan. This is the moral OF these warlike
disturbances over all those wild countries of
savages or seni-barbarans. The warning to
the Gar is o warning to prepare for general
war Of subjugation if he means to be the mas
ter over Turkestan. We cannot doubt that he
intends to be the master in that quarter, nor
can we doubt that he will employ the measures
and the forces necessary to secure complete
success. But the work which it was thought
was substantially accomplished in the con-
quest of Khiva was only there begun For
years. it may be, Russia henceforth will be 30
actively engaged in establishing her authority
over Turkestan as not to be troublesome to
her Western neighbors in reference to Euro
pean affairs.

The Law Of Newspapers.

I. Subscribers who do not give express
notice to the contrary are considered as
wishing to continue their subscriptions.
2. If any subscribers orders the discon-
tinuance of their newspa pers, the publisher
may continue to send them until all ar
rearages are paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take
their newspapers from the offices to which
they are directed, the law holds them re-
spensible until they have settled the bills,
and ordered them discontinued.
A. II subscribers remove to other places
without informing the publisher, and the

ton, they are held responsible.
5. The courts have decided that refusing
to take newspapers from the office, or re-

prima facie evidence of intentional fraud.

the legal notice of the neglect of person
to take from the Office the newspapers adj
dressed to him, is liable to the publisher
for the subscription price.
