FROM WARRINGTON,

The house appropriation committee
will undoubtedly attempt to largely cut down
the naval estimates for the ensuing fiscal
wear. Eobcsn wants 42O,S7l $3.50 for the
naval establishment and Sl,725,O0O for pub.
lie works under the direction Of his depart
mcnt, making a total Of about $22 300, 900.
From $3,O 600, 600 to $4,000, 600 will be Topped
of.
The United States house committee
on appropriations completed the fortifca
ton bill, appropriating for the protection
preservation, and repairs of forificatlon'
and other works of defense, Sl0O,0OO for the
conversion of heavy ordinance, 100000; fol
projecties of heavy ordinance, $4,000; for
carriages for heavy guns, $4,000; for proving
ground and proving cannon, $25,O 900; for tor.
pcdoes, $4,000. The estimates were $4,000.
600, but the committee cut down the apprO.
priations to $Sl5,0oo.

The chief cause Of the present nsur-
rection Of the llcraegovinians against Turkey
is, at bottom, the impoSshility Of obtaining
Justice for Christians in Mohammedan courts,

legal proprietors Of land The Turks and
ShvOnic Mohammcdans hate and dcspise
Christians, and generally hold that they have
no rights that true believers are bound to
respect. They may legally acquire landed
property, and may legally testify in court,
but the Turks pay no attention to rights or
oaths and do with them aS they choose. The
Judges are, without exception, ycnal to the
last degree. The great reason why the terms
Of the Andrassy note are not accepted by the
insurgents is that they know the sultan can.

ment, the bills reported by the finance com.
mttee on Wednesday, to amend acts of July

vide that the amount of bonds bearing four

to he issued, be increased to $500 900, 600, ana
that they be payable at the pleasure of the

years. 1t also provides that the act shall not
be construed to authorize any increase of the
total amount of bonds provided for by the
acts named, nor to authorize any increase
whatever OF the bonded debt Of the United
States. Mr.. Morrill,, of Vermont, from the
committee Of revolutionary war claims, re-
ported adversely on the bill to provide for

revolutionary army, and the widows and
children of those who died in the service,
and it was indefinitely postponed. Mr.. Ere

ture, reported favorably on the house resolu-
ton to print extra copies OF the report OF the

THE ease and rapidity with which the
Boston Iorgcr, Winslow, was captured
while fleeing from justice is another il
lustration of how nearly as one the

closely it approaches to being one or

is hardly nook or corner to which
criminal can retreat with assurance that
he will not be dragged from it by the
officers OF the law. He is absolutely
hcdged in Almost before he is out of
