EDS. HERALD.--I have just returned
from a Centennial trip and a visit to the
old homestead in Brown township Mont
gomery county, Indiana, and was much
interested in looking at some very large
appletrees that we planted there in the
early settlement of that country about the
year thirty-two or thirty-three, will give
the dimensions of two of them, first tree
three feet at the base solid, and forty feet
high and top covering a space of ground
fifty feet in diameter; second two feet
nine inches in diameter solid, thirty-five
feet high and the top covering a space of
ground sixtysix feet in diameter. If any
one can beat this let us hear from you.

A dispatch from London gives IN account
Of an alleged interview between tho Servian
Primo Minister and the Russian representa-.
tiveat Belgrade, wherein thofor1uer stated that
servia had determined TO maintain the con-
test against tho Turkish nrms, md appealcd
to the generosity Of Russia for aid both in
mon and money. Permission was asked for
Russian officers and soldiers To enter the
Servian army, md 1t Is said that = ia
vorable answer was given by, the
Cars Government. AB consequence,
according TO the London dispatch from
Somlin, Russian officers and sub-otflccrB arc
aocking to Belgrade daily, and offering their
services gratuitously, and the sclavonio COM
1nittee in Russia have begun sending forward
large Gums Of money. This information, il
true, is full Of promise to the servian cause.
The current Of Russian sympathy once set
in motion unrestricted by diplomatic inter-
feroncc, 1nd the cause Of the insurgents
would receive tho support necessary to turn
tile scale and beat back the Turkish forces.
It is to bo hoped that the long-rcstrainod
volunteer aid from Russia has at last been
!. permitted to 60 to the rescue Of servia, md
that the l,ard-prcBsed soldiers Of Prince
MILAN eau hold out. long enough to turn this
sympathy aud guccor to practical account.

Tho TURKS havo once moro vindicated their
c1aim to the allegation that thoy aro the
champion liasa OF the world in denying that
they hive perpotrnted the cruelties charged
against them. En1n FrrESp1, Commits
sioner nppointed by tho Porte to investigate
tho alleged cruelties at Adrianople, hos made
a report In which be denies the atrocities
and makes counter-charges Of barbarities on
the other side. The report, which ia printed
in the English papers, would be triumphant
tlcfonso Of tho Turks ii 1t we're only true,
but, unfortunately for it's veracity, these cru
oltics arc not only alleged by tho sorvians,
but thoy havo been rehearsed by hundreds Of
eye-witnosses, by Consuls Of oil tho Pow
ers, and by newspaper correspond
ents from every part of tho civil
lied world. Nowhere have they been
stated with n.oro detail and circumstance
than in the English papers, although tho
Tory Government Of England has winked at
them because 1t looks upon tho Christian re-
volt as projudicial to its yiews Of tho East
ern policy. Tho charge that the Turks had
beon guilty Of barbarity so hendish that IT
WIS without excuse hos been thoroughly es.
tablishod out Of the mouths of innumerable
witnesses. Even tho London Times, rc-
ferring to this report, Is constrained to dis'
believe it. It eays:
Tho Turkish Government has failed to obseHe
that lta nccusets have made dfatfnct and specific
aceuaattons. They have gtven names, datcs,
places. They havo brought charges against par
ttcular officials. II the Poste wtahesto clear itsef
I. must ba equally apcctac. II will not suffice te
say that In some caaea the Turkish troops were meF
clfn1 or that In otheEs the Muasutman vilageEi
practlced tho ordinary duties Of humanity. Ths
Porte IL lnmentahly mistaken II It sHpposes tha
the opinion Of Europe will be Influenced by II
vague and eyaziye report ~ TINT Of Ep1n Er'
rESDr.
It should bo remembered that the atrocitfe'
Mt Adrianoplo wero perpstratcd before th'
outbreak Of the war, even before tha
massacre of the Consuls at Salonica. Siue'
that timo hundreds Of towna and village
have been burned. Thousands Of womcs
and children have been tortured and butch

off into slavery md shipped to Turlkisl
harcms. Never In the history Of the worl'
has there been such record Of horrih1
Bagagery Is that which hos been indicte
upon helpless women and children by thos
fiends. For these crnelties England stand

THE GREAT POLITICAL DANGER.

T1IpEN aud HESDRfcKs cannot be elected
without at the Aalno time giving the Demo-
cratic party full control Of both Houses Of
Congress. Tho majority Of tho Democrats
in Congress will bo composed Of the mem-
therefore control tho caucus. All lcgisla-
ton, as consequence, will be shaped finally
by tho Confederates Of tho sixteen Southern
States acting solidly in the sectional interest
OF an impoverished but ambitious and greedy
people. Mr.. T1LpEs will owe his elevation
to these people mainly. aud will not be nblc,
even if lie have the inclination, to oppose
thc1n.. There will be nothing, therefore, to
prevent tho Confederates from recouping
their losseH OF the War at tho cost of tho en-
tiro tax-paying public Of tho milton. Tl,ey
will layo tho temptation offered by oppor-
tunity, power, poverty, q sense Of wrong dono
them, aud tho theory aud belief that tho Wnr
was forced upon them without Justice or tho
authority Of tho Constitution. Under such
circumstances it will demand greater for
bearance and self.control thau human nnturo
Inns yet been found capable Of to resist tho
temptation of inaemnifying themselves for
loases which they believed they sustained
through the malice and injustice OF othcra.
Aud this is the greatest danger to be appre-
henied from n change of the National Ad-
ministration at the present timo.
Ono section or tho other must have been
in tho wrong in tho late Civil War, On the
theory maintained by the Republican party
TINT sovereignty In vested IN the National
Government, and that no State lad right
to Withdraw from the Union % from mere
compact or treaty, then It was tho duty Of
| the National Government to coorcs the re-
turn of the seeded States, and they must
bear the penalties aud losses OF their own
crime in sustaining an unconstitutional net
| by Nh appeal to Rrma and the horrors and
tlcsolation OF war. But II the principle of
sovereignty Is vested in tho States "a
individual political entities, and the Southern
States had right to socode, then tho North
committed constitutional crilne In com.
polling them to lay down their arms and 70.
turn, aud tile North il responsible to them
for all tho damages tley suffered on account
OF this unwarrantod aud unconstitutional
procedure. There Is no manner Of doubi
that the vast minority Of the ex-Confcdorates

-Leliovo now, rs they did in 1860, that the
sovereignty IL vested In tho States; TINT they

here was too good an opportunity for tho
application of TupEN's invention Of Credit
