WHILE THE TURKS IN SEEvIA are pushing
their advance steadily their brethren in
herzegovina appear to be in sore plight
since the victory of Prince Nikita at Urbiza.
Mukhtar Pacha, who had previously shown
good soldcrly qualities in his fights with
the insurgents, was so completely ambushed
and thoroughly whipped there that the only
safety for the remnant of his army is said to
lie in retreat into Austrian territory, where
they will doubtless be promptly disarmed
and interned. Thirty Turkish battalions,
Or about twelve thousand men, are said to be
marching to his relief through the narrow
Pachalic of Novi Bazaar, which separates
Montenegro from Servia They may arrive
too late, or Nikita may leave small force to
keep the crippled Mukhtar quiet, and attack
the Turkish reinforcements where he can
choose his position. The great battle in
Servia is still waited for. Although Tcher-
nayoff has been turned back and Osman
Pacha has invaded Servia the change, i'm
portant as it is, has not been the result Of
single battle of consequence.

to wish for court martial.

one term as principle by suggesting the
ton limiting the Presidency to single in
cumbency, and by admitting that the eligi-
bility of President to reelection has been
fatal to all serious civil service reform. The
country will accept the adherence of the
Governor to the idea of one term with graft
fication.
Altogether, the letters will satisfy the
country and strengthen the democratic can
vass. The letter of Mr. Hendricks is some
what fippant in parts and with stump
speech tone about it. The letter of Mr.. Til
den is in the best taste-a model of dignity
and reserve, without word that could Of
fend. 1t is the letter Of a shrewd, able, indie
pendent statesman, and will have weight
with the country. The one thought that
will crafty men of both parties is that in
the essential principles of the can
vass Hayes and Tilden take high
ground They agree in protecting the
national credit in regulating financial reck-
lessness and folly, in affording protection to
all races and classes in the South, in pro-
motlng harmony between the sections, IN the
necessity for civil service and the wisdom of
the one term principle as the basis of all true
reform. Tilden and Hayes are both honora-
BILE men who will carry out their pledges.
The only question is, How far will party ne
cessities and party limitations affect them in
the discharge of their high duties If Gov
ernor Tilden's friends can inspire the coun-
try with belief in his power to carry out his
pledges without any peril to the achievements
of the war from the advent of a new party the
desire for change is so widespread that his
canvass may be winning one. If, on the
other hand, it is feared that the end will be
leaping Niagara, then not all the genius md
skill OF letter of acceptance will OVERTHROW
the strongly seated power of republican.

Governor Chamberlain and tho Ex-
ecutive.

ecutive.
In the correspondence and reports rela-
tive to the Hamburg massacre submitted to
Congress there is letter from Mr.. Cham
berlain, the Governor of South Carolina, to
the President. In this letter the Governor
recites the facts Of the massacre, and says
that it has resulted in ''great and immediate
alarm among the colored people and all re-
publicans in that section of the State. "
There is also "an intense solicitude for their
lives and liberties" on the part Of these peo-
pie. He then asks: -''Will the general gov
eminent take such precautions as may be
suitable, in view of the feeling of alarm al
ready referred to, to restore confidence to
the poor people Of both races and political
parties in this State, by such distribution
of the military forces now here rs will rem
der the Intervention of the general govern
ment prompt and effective, if it shall be-
come necessary, in restoring peace and
order"
There has been some discussion as to
whether Governor Chamberlain did ask for
troops for South Carolina His enemies
ailege that he did make this request, while
his friends have given out that he did not.
We cannot read this letter in any other light
than as request for troops. AS such the
President regarded it, for in his response the
President says FL will give every aid for
which / can find law or constitutional power"
There have been for some time more troops in
South Carolina than in any other Southern
State except Texas, so that really Chamber
lains own capital may be said to be under
the protection of the government When
General Sherman was questioned the other
day about the troops in the South, and
whether they could be sent to the Indian
country, he answered that the President
could not remove them even for that purpose
nor permit their removal.
We are sorry the President should find it
necessary to have troops in the South, and
we are sorry to see the Governor of South
Carolina in the position of asking for more.
The country is sensitive on this question of
federal military Intervention in the affairs of
State. Governor Chamberlain should have
exhausted his own remedies before seeking
tne IreSiueHt l. TIC pIotectlOu OF the general
government is well enough as last resort
1t should neither be lightly asked nor
lightly given. Our Southern States have
been so handled in the past few years that
the Governors run at the first pretence to the
President. 1t is vicious habit, subversive
of the independence and pride of a State.
The Governor of South Carolina should first
exhaust the resources of his Commonw ealth
before he goes whining to Washington.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION. Judge Johnson,
of the Circuit Court of the United States,
yesterday rendered q decision on the ap.
plication of Abraham II. Miller, for an in
junction restraining the cities of New York
and Brooklyn from completing the bridge.
In denying the injunction the Judge showed
that as Congress had authorized the
erection of the bridge according to certain
plans and specifications the courts
GOULD not interfere except when any
of these conditions were violated. He fur
Their suggested that if at any future time it
was found that Congress WAS mistaken in
granting authority for the building of the
bridge and that the bridge itself proved
real impediment to navigation then Congress
had the power to order the alteration in
the plan or the removal altogether OF
the bridge to suit the requirements of the
case. Considering that as the science OF
steam navigation becomes more perfect and
with the adoption Of petroleum as a fuel and
the improvement of steam boilers and ma
chinery, high masted sailing vessels will
give place to steamships for all purposes,
the danger of the bridge proving a perma-
nent obstruction to the navigation Of the
East River is not very alarming
