THE TURCO-sERvIAN WAR.
The London Times on the situstiou

Inc LONDON ItmeS On tue bstu"sOs'
LONDON, July l9.-The Times, in
leading editorial article on the Servo
Turkish conflict, says: All that comes
10 US from Belgrade is contradicted from
Cons,antinople, and conversely. When
two opposing statements appear on the
same day, in the same column, the most
trusting reader cannot escape the sensa-
tions OF disappointment and indifference.
We may, therefore, coDfne ourselves
TO indicating the main results
OF the campaign, as they
appear at the present moment and the
position which neighboring states have
assumed, or are likely 10 assume, 10 con-
sequence. II is certain the original
plan Of the Servian invasion has been
Disconnected, and though undoubtedly
they have fought with the greatest
courage, they can make no real I'M
preston on the main body OF Turks.
Granting the Servian claims that Gen.
Tchernsyed has suffered no defeat; that
be is still in gadvance, and has taken
means 10 assure his commun ications, We
still believe that he viii 10 the end have
10 fght for the security ot the Servisn
frontier. He has but small army, and
the Turks, probably even nov, outnum-
Der him. Taking into confederation, nu-
nericsl, the superiority Of the Turks, the
difficulty Of moving in such country,
and the deIectiveness Of General
Tchernayeffs equipments, we would con.
ciude that the war will continue 70 fringe
the Servian frontier. The strongest fall
ure OF the campaign 10 the movement Of
the Prince Of Montenegro. he has Q
force estimated at 10000, largely compos
ed of volunteers from other districts. He
touts OF great successes; that be has
beaten the Turks and they have retrested
before him; that his men would have
made the Porte of Kick useless 10 the
Turks. even IL the Austrians had
not closed il. He has entered Eeyesieze
and threatens Mostsr. but he 10 not CO.
opersting vith the Servisns. Unless
there be something very profound In tho
plan OF the campaign, the no.ion thai
iAe Montenegrins do not count upon
the success Of their sliies, and therefore
20 for what they can get for tbsmseiyes,
begins 20 prevail. A short time viii
show the truth. Meantime Greece re-
mains entirely peaceful, and Roumania
balances her demands on the Porte By
an earnest declaration Of neutrality and
will probably keep quist - long u shs
can.

for President, and Thos. A. Hendricks OF
Indiana, for Vice President, as the
strongest possible combination the DE.
mocracy Of the Union could have select.
ed for the suffrsges of the people, and in
their great and varied civil services, en-
lnent abilities, pure civic and honorable
record, without spot or blemisb, that in

tions will be received tonight in time to

The Times is now devoting itself to
the task of proving that the election of a
Democratic President would be danger
GUS to the business interests of the coun-
try. This was one Of the great argu-
ments in favor OF the election of Grant
four years ago, and it was not without
effect, for Henry Clews, Jay Cooke and
others, supposed to be Representative
bankers and merchants, got together and
solemnly announced that Democratic
triumph was sure 10 be followed by q
financial panic. The Democrats were
beaten, but a panic came such as was
never before seen in the country, and the
political bankers went to ruin, dragging
thousands down with them. In order to
help the Times to play its little game
again, would it not be well to get Henry
Cews and Jay Corke to issue another
manifesto declaring upon their CONNER
cial honor, that the election Of Tilden
will bring panic and financial Disaster
Such document would be very valuable
for campaign purposes.-N. y. World.

This will be an act of prudence, especially
in view of recent developments at the

begun the HAYES campaign by secur-
ing the expulsion Of every Cabinet officer
who could be expected to oppose any
measure of corruption or violence; and
under his management as the chosen

there is no doubt that every infamous
means known to Grantism will be en-
ployed, as it was four years ago. With

have no restraint upon their acts; and,
although it cannot prevent the employ
