LONDON, August 90, 1876
As predicted In letter which has hardly
reached your side of the Atlantic the words which have
risen into ocsin all over England to-day are ''rhe
Turkish horrors in Bulgaria." Tho sncers of the
English Premier have hardly died Of the air tho

fcalon hundred fold conviction OF The truth in
regard to these dreadful Affairs has been forced upon
the English people by J. A. MacGahan, who erode 10

States Secretary of Legation at Cons,antinope These
two gentlemen have made journey through tho
tire length and breadth OF Bulgaria The horrors they
have witnessed defy the pen of MacGahan to do
them full justice. England has been thoroughly

ENGLISH JOURNALISTIC ENTERPRISE.
The Daily News deserves great credit Tor the epcr-
gcic and persistent way in which 1t has fought out its
defence Of tho rights OF poor Bulgarian peasants and
iarmcrs Had those poverty stricken slaves Turkish
injustice deserved kinder attention from the British
press than they or Livingston got from the British
Parliament the sins Tor which the Bulgarians suffer
would have remained unatoned for and unavcnged. 1t
is always pleasure to commend the enterprise OF
English contemporaries, and double measure is due
when it has for its object fair statement of the
wrongs under which thousands OF the subjects of Tur
key now suffer.

THE PRESS SPEAKS
In order to indicate only partially the feeling among
the English press in regard to the Bulgarian ouragcs,
| suboin few brie extracts from lengthy leaders in
each of the following journals;
The Leeds Mercury says

tho hidcous facts we need not at present speculate
upon.
The Liverpool Post says
1t will be strange, indeed If such revelations should
not set a deep red seal, stamped solemniy with the
sign OF the cross, TO the unacrable resolution OF the
English people never again TO protect AosIem butchers
