Servian army is left unasssted, the Turks will
assurcdly reach Belgrade. They are advancing
slowly and irresistloly. However, unless an

Gel iaiply fight to the last. There is scarcely
any reason 10 doubt that the Servian Govern

a change of ministry impossible. 1t is gene

FRIDAY, OCIUBEk y, 1876.

There has been some technical difficulty IL
the way Of allowing suudry Irish gentlemen to
preseu, Centennial address TO the President
of the United States On the part of the Irish
people. Some official etiquette stood IN the
way, and the address remains yet unspoken,
aud tie greeting uudelivered. The Gar OF
Russia sends 10 congratulate, and his message
is received with ali the honors. The Emperor
of Germany, the King of Italy; even, perhaps,
the Puteutate Of Siam, or the "klng ot the
Cauniba! Islands," all have an international
stains. and obtain the ear of the President; but
,he States upcrowned' are, it seems to be
hereafter, voiceless to the Chief Magistrate OF
the American people. Ireland, which gave so
MANY noble heroes in 1916, aud has hlled the
land since with such "a multitude OF emlnent
es;mablc and Industrious citizens is DOT to be
prrmi;ted 10 1876, 10 address General Grant
without the permit of the British Minister.
This seems, bow vtr, to be new rule. The
President has, within the past hundred days,
received an address from the gallant Poles, and
on the Isl OF July last, Secretary Fish wrote to
the &. S. Minister 10 Switzerland as follows !:
you arc authorized to Inform Count Platter
that the Prcsideut has received, With great
pleasure, Tie expressions OF sympathy contain
od in the Polish address on the occasion OF the
CENTENARY which we arc about to celebrate.
B.. So good as to answer Count Platter that the
wishes Tor the prosperity OF America, contain
ed in that address, are responded to with per-
fccs reciprocity BY The American people.
Why the Irish address was excluded 10 the
face of this commeadablc precedent 1t is dim
cult to determine. 1t cannot be that the Pres
iden, intended the refusal as az insult to the
Irish race, bur, when one remembers IeneraI

an affropt to a whole people, Is much lu-
