The democratic party, attempting to tax c
advantage of the temper of the people,
has uniurled u banner be>p.ngled I'LL over
with the word Reform But earnest
and sincere reformers will not be deceiv,,
into the be lief that that party has either
the purpose or ability TO carry forward
substantial reform. They do not forget
that the very system and practice, which
we seek to abolish We're introduced by The
democratic party more than forty years
ago, and were continued so long as that
party retained power.-B. H. Bristow.
The repeated assertion of the democrats
mat Mr.. Schurz was induced to advocate
GOV Hayes election through Il promise
OF position IN case of republican success
has prompted the Wtstliche Post to remark
that the promise of office came from the
other side. As a matter of fact, it say,
scarce y had MIR. Tiden been nomin,t.d
when number of his friends called on
Mr.. Pretorlous. Mr.. Seizures partner, and
assured him that President TiIde:I's frs,

as secretary OF Secretary of State. or Min
lister TO Germany, just as be might prefer.

THE TURKISH WAR,

BELGRADE, Aug. 12.-PInce Milan has ar
rived here from belgrade. The Turkish forces
attempted on Tuesday to break through the
Servian lines at Jarvor, but were completely
repulsed and nearly all of them killed. Gen.
RancO Ollyipes maintains his offensive position
on the Drina Bapja, which has been strongly
fortified, and is held by Tchernayeffs army,
while Col. Becker's army occupies the noun.
tain on the Tmok and Morava rivers.
1t is expected that Prince Milan will proceed
in few days to inspect the army on the Bos-
MAN frontier. 1t is stated $4,000 Bulgarians,
principally old men and women, have taken
refuge in Servia. The atrocities committed by
the Turks in Bulgaria and Servia are reported
as beyond description.
Surgeons and officers are arriving at Belgrade
from all countries. One legion of volunteers
bearing the name of Princess Natalie has gone
to the seat of war. Gen. Zach's wound will
necessitate amputation. 1t is believed battle
is imminent in the neighborhood of Banza
Gen. Teschjanon with the bulk of his forces
has taken up position near Arestonotez.
VIENNA, Aug. ia despatch from Belgrade
says that the commander.in'chief of the Servi-
an army has decided not to abandon the Wo-
rama battery without decisive battle.
RAGUsA, Aug. 1.-THE Prince of Montene-
gro has delayed his march toward the Sienitza
junction of the SerYians to operate against Die
laledin and prevent relief being sent to Mukh-
tar Pasha.
Eight thousand Turks landed at Antraya on
Thursday on their way to Podgartza.
LONDON, Aug 13.-A special to the Daily
News from Belgrade says change in the Ser
Wan administration is freely discussed Prince
Milan has become unpopular and bis conduct
is unfavorably contrasted With that of the
Prince of Montenegro, who will have in the
contingency of Prince Milan's removal the ia
vor of Russia. The concealment of Servian
losses has caused much distrust Only mirac.
ulous victory or open espousal of Servia's cause
by powerful state can restore the prospects of
Seryia's independence

The Aroostook Democratic County Con-

The Aroostook Democratic County Con-
vention has turned its back upon the
ssLiberals" now that there is a sight of
securing the offices. Edmund Madigan,
Esq, was nominated for Senator, and Peter
Charles Keegan for County Attorney. The
Madawaska Democracy evidently had things
their own way.
The Milwaukee wis., Sentinel says:
''Gov. Hendricks could stand African slavery
with unfinching fortitude. He could vote
in Congress for its extension into. Kansas and
Nebraska. He could even vote against its
abolition by the thirteenth amendment. But
when he reflects upon the Coolie system, the
Chinese bondmen,' and that species of slav-
cry he bursts into tears" OF course he
Unjust draw the line somewhere"
New York Times: The Democratic can
didate for Governor in Maine has written the
most comical political letter of the day. He
certifies to his own loyalty in the war and
substantiates it by this assertion: "During
the spring of 1851 I was the owner of a
valuable horse, (which still own) which
let to Crosby Shorey, Esq, of Machias, for
four months without compensation, to be
employed by him in the transportation OF SOL
oilers, and he was so employed at the time"
This is enough to make that horse laugh.

Although Disrael is to be elevated to the
Peerage he will remain Prime Minister. Sir
Stafford Northcote will become leader of the
House of Commons. The general impression
is that the Conservatives are weakened by the
change, but Disraeli is physically unable to
sustain the labor of leadership.
despatch to the Daily Telegraph says that
the Turkish government intends, after snb-
lugating Servia, to arraign the Prime Minister
Ristich for high treason, holding him to be
chiefly responsible for the instruction.
The Ragusa correspondent of the Times says
that the Porte has repelled pacfcatory over
lures, declaring he will risk everything. The
Porte also persists in employing the Circassianc
and Bashi Bazouks.
1t is rumored that several Cabinet changes
will follow Disraeli's elevation to the peerage
Sir Charles B. Adderly, President of the Board
of Trade, and Lord John Manners, Postmaster
General, are to be offered peerages. William
HI. Smith, one of the Secretaries Of the Treas
ury, is to replace Sir Charles Adderly. and
some subordinate member of the government il
to'replace Manners.
