In the Crimean war England, France,
Turkey aud Italy fought Russia for a year,
and not greatly to their satisfaction. Bet
now the Russia that then so s%toutIy resist
ed them single handed is sustained by
Germany, the greatest military Power
OF the world, and by Austria and what
has England to sustain her Only Tur-
key. Neither France nor Italy car help
her. If France should ever enter the alli-
onco a PruSsiao demonstration on the
Rhine would compel her to keep at home
every man she can raise, and as she
has much to lose and nothing to gain she
will not move a finger in the case. It is
reported that England counts on Austria.
All who count on Austria are apt to find
that they need to count again. Austria Is
compelled to be on the side that is strong
est, and that is evidently the side of Russia
and Prussia. She symyathizes with the
English policy and would help England
to secure peace but if war is to come she
must stand on the other eide, in order to
be one Of the Powers that divide rather
than one Of those that are divided.
1t there is a war, though England could
punish her enemies on the sea they would
punish her wherever else they could get at
her, and her Turkish policy would suffer
ignominious defeat. 1t seems, therefore,
incredible that England can persist in the
attitude taken a moment after war shall
appear as the certain consequence of that
attitude. aud that is the direction in which
events drift. With an almost hopeless
war in prospect as a certain consequence
of her defiant attitude, and with a ministe-
rial crisis as an equally certain consequence
OF the Abandonment of that attitude, it may
be seen hat the Premier who INDUCES in a
brilliant policy does not lie on o bed Of
roses,

~GAMBETTA'S EYE.
From tie European Mail.

A passage in the new Testament says,
=" And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it
out, and cast it from thee. y Leon Gam
BETA, the inyincibIe Republican agitator,
is said to have deliberately destroyed his
left eye when he was a boy at school, if
not exactly in obedience to the divine
command, yet because he disIiked to study
the language in which this mandate
was originally written. Gambetta hated
Greek, and did his utmost to get excused
from studying it. But when he found
that his entreaties were of no avail with
his father, he threatened to destroy his
vision. Gambetta p6re, a stern and reso-
Lutte man, who deemed it a wise fathers
duty to thwart the whims of an obstinate
boy, was immoyable, and told Leon he
could pluck out his eyes if he chose, not
of course for one moment supposing the
possibility Of such a thing. Enraged at
this wholly unexpected answer, young
Gambetta tore his left eye from its socket,
and Informed his father that the right eye
should go to keep company with the
left if there was no other way of escape
from study of the hated language. Hap
PLY for France, his father, recognising the
indomitable will of bis son, at once yield
ed the point.

THE TURKISH WAR.

RAeUsA, July 27-The Montenegrins at
Padgoritza have repulsed Mehmet Pasha' s
forces. Both sides lost heavily.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, July 27.-The Turks Off
cially claim that they have beaten the Monte
negrins at MEDIUM.
LONDON, July 27.-The strength of the Ser
Wan army is now 115,000 men and 256 guns :.
Their artillery officers are efficient, but the in
fantry commanders are inferior to the Turks
The Servian government has decided to issue
paper currency to the amount of 100000
Turkish pounds.
Gen. Tchernayeff has been defeated in his
attempt to join Gen. Leschianin.
NEW YORK, July IA cable special says
that majority of the Softas at Constantinople
are to request the Sultan to resign as he has
shown no effort at inaugurating a more vigor
GUS policy than his predecessor. The step will
be taken about the middle of August.
LONDON, July 2S.-Reuters despatch from
tween Gen. Tchernayeff and his staff over the
question of transferring Prince Milan's head
quarters to Alexinatz; the staff objected on the
ground that it would expose Prince Milan to
the enemy's fire.
VIENNA, July 27.-The Political Correspon-
dence says the Montenegrins, in consequence of
their defeat on the 23d, retreated to Koritz and
are now concentrating at krestac where fresh
engagement is expected.
LONDON, July 2S.-The Standards correspon-
dent at Osman Posha's camp telegraphs that
while the fight was going on between the Ser
VANS and Osman Pasha's force report of
which has already been telegraphed, the main
body of Servians at Saitschar thinking Osman
had withdrawn all his men from camp, crossed
the Timok river and attacksd him. Osman
opened fire from his batteries and the ServianS
hastily recrossed the river with loss.
The officers of the national guard in several
Servian towns have been asked to surrender
their arms. 1t is believed that this measure is
caused by a fear of violent outbreak of the

Mountains.

Mountains.
NEW YORK, July ga despatch from Gen.
Crooks column, Of the 23d inst, says that the
Sioux have made no demonstration for more
than week, and it is feared that they are
preparing a refuge for their families in the
mountains, which are capable of strong defence
and are then expecting to engage in general
battle once more.
Two Crows arrived two days ago from Gen.
Terry with duplicate of the despatch already
received, detailing Gen. Clusters disaster. They
saw no Sioux, but observed the trail of large
party going toward Red Cloud agency, and sup
posed that they were carrying their wounded
thither. The Crows report finding the burial
places OF many of the dead, scattered along the
route of their flight.
The fifth cavalry left for Fort Laramie on
the 18th. Their arrival is expected on the 9th
time Gen. Terry is supposed to be already NOV
ing toward this command. A courier was des-
patched toward him on the Goth. The Crows
reported the arrival at his base of supplies,
of two steamboats, loaded with men and horses.
Another despatch from the same camp, of
the same date, says that nothing had then
been heard from Gen. Merritt, who had been
on raid against the Cheyennes, of which raid,
however, an account has been published stat
ing that the Cheyennes were driven back. Their
wagons and infantry reached Gen. Crook on
the 18th. The fact that the Sioux are locating
in the mountains makes it necessary for Gen.
Crook to move on them speedily, or to consider
the summer campaign indecisive. A small
party of Snake scouts were to make recon-
noissance on the night of the 18th to definitely
ascertain the location of the Sioux. This will
require two or three days time, and in the
meantime the wagons and the main command
will work their way to the ina! camp and point
of departure.
1t is expected that band of Utes and Ban
mock allies will join the expedition before the

destroy slavery and secure to all the people
equality of civil and political rights he persist.
emily opposed every measure looklng toward
this end. Such is his record during the most
critical period of our couutrys history; and,
moreover, the facts are not so far back in time
as to be irrelevant to the present. The record
makes him eminently suitable candidate to
represent the Democratic party. He represent
ed it when the facts were transpiring and he
represents it now Whether he is a suitable
candidate for the people to elect is quite anoth-
er question. We hold that no man who was
false to his country during the war and whose
conduct proves him to be the enemy of equal
rights ought to be trusted with the powers and
duties OF the Vice Presidency. Such public
record as that of Mr.. Hendricks ought to secure
his rejection.
As to the currency question, the mildest
Thing that can be said of him is that he is a
two-faced trimmer. Last fall he was shaping
ms course to WIN the prize which Governor
Iilden, more artful tactician, has snatched
from his grasp. Trere is no doubt that he had
nominated himself for the Presidency, and
was only waiting to have the Democratic party
ratify the nomination. The party, however,
has concluded to give him the second and not
the first place on the ticket. Hoping to win
the first place, he played last year in the Ohio
election shuffling and treacherous game on
the currency question. He did what he could
to elect Allen, an out-and-Out infiatOniSt, who
has whatever merit there is in being honestly
Mr.. Hendricks, on the other hand, professed
to hold to the doctrine that gold and silver
are the real standard of value, universal and
permanent" and at the same time he gave the
whole weight of his influence in favor of the
theory of the inf1ation;sts Being bidder for
the Presidential nomination, he had no prnci
pies which he would not throw to the dogs in
order to gain his end. The policy of the St.
Louis convention in placing his name on the
ticket was to win tho votes of the Western in
flationists especially in Indiana and Ohio.
Hendricks is their man. He practically agrees
with them. They demand a repeal Of the re-
sumption act and so does he. They are OPP
posed to every measure that even squints to-
ward specie payments, and SO is Mr.. Hendricks.
In word, he is ready to serve the paper-money
lunatics, if they will only vote for him. All
he asks is their votes.
And this is the man paraded before the coun-
try as one Of the standard-bearers of the "re
FORM party. The pro- slavery party, the anti
war party, the negro hating party, the repudi-
alton party, the Irish Catholic party, the pledge
violating party has at last turued up as the
reform" party. And Thomas A. Hendricks is
one of the reformers, and the former political
associate of one Tweed in the management of
Tammany and New York Democracy is the
other reformer. We do not wonder that Carl
Schurz should, in the Westliche Post, designate
the whole thing as "humbug." The Ameri-
can people are not at all likely to be hum
plugged by trick Of words, in the absence of
things.

Serious Charges Against the American
Consul at Siam.


Consul at Siam.
New York. July GA letter from Hong
Kong. dated June 14th. says that the gunboat
Ashuelo, has arrived there from Siam, where
the conduct of Consul Partridge has been inves-
tgated.
it appeared that Mr.. Partridge was incensed
against an American merchant named Chand-
Ter who was appointed by the King of Siam as
agent to take charge of the contribution Of spec
linens of industry and products of Sam to the
Centennial exhibition
Mr.. Partridge's son, who is liquor inspector
for rich slave, besides being U. s. marshal,
arrested Chandler on an old charge of bank
ruptcy, and after knocking him down and
beating him, put him in Jail at the instigatiOn
of his father, the consul This outrage in
censed the King, who withdrew his contribu-
tions to the Centennial, and refused to have
Americans also condemned the outrage. Mr..
Partridge then sent for a gunboat, but cOun-
fernandez the order, fearing an investigation.
Mrs. Chandler left for Singapore with papers
signed and certified by the officials OF Siam and
all the American missionaries. relating to the
outrage and Mr.. Partridge endeavored to inter-
cept her, but was too late. Meantime the
American missionaries and other American
citizens had written and signed paper
enumerating their grievances and preferring
grave charges both against the consul and his
son for misconduct This paper was sent to
the proper authorities, and Mr.. Partridge,
finding it out when too late to intercept it, had
an American named Reynolds arrested on a
charge of libel, on suspicion of having written
the paper.
Five missionaries were called as witnesses,
Mr. Partridge himself holding court, and testi-
fed as to the innocence of Reynolds, but
declined to testify in relation to their own
action, for which Mr.. Partridge fined each one
$50, and ordered that they pay $S4 additional,
costs of his court. Then in default of payment
he nut all five in DriSOn. This was the state OF
affairs when Captain Mathews arrived in
Siam with the Ashuelot. The above facts were
laid before him and he restored tranquility to
the Americans there, as well as to the Siamese.
The King gave frequent audiences to the officers
goods to the Centennial which Captain
Mathews was authorized to accept, and they
have been shipped on the Ashuelot. Captain
Mathews has forwarded to the government al
Washington the above facts.
