Turkish slave Traffic.

Pera June % Correspondence of the London
TImesl
The Porte has come to the
desperate resolution of enlisting and
armiDg eighty thousand Bashi-
BszoukJ throughout the empire,
WHO, if they cannot do much as soldiers,
will be available as brigauds, and thus
prevent the spread OF instruction by the
instant menace Of a general massacre Of
the christians. The awful work Of these
sav9ge irregulars, and especially the
Circassians, have been carrying on
in Bulgaria is an earnest Of the efficient
aid they can lend the government of the
Porte in its straits. l have heard from
several sources, during the past three
days, the distressing report that Bulga"
Tian children were sold IS slaves by their
Circassian captuIs. A wealthy Greek
banker at Pers, whose name / could
mention, has, for humane reasons,
bought four such captives; of course,
with a view to rescue them from the
fate " hich awaited them in the hands Of
Turkish purchasers. I am informed
that many of the pashss and beys are
supplying their harems with seTvantg
from this source, and that at Adrian.
ople this trade is carried on with little,
il any, attempt at concealment. You
are aware that the Circsssisrs have
always been, and are in the habit of
bringing up their children TO stock the
harems OF wealthy Mussulmen. No
wonder il, together with their own, they
offer to the highest bidders the young
creatures they have ssized in the raw.
aged villages OF the Balkans. l have
been assured that poor Bulgarian refu-
gee recognized his own child in the
hands of Circsssian slsve-dealer, and,
upon claiming it before the authorities,
his claim was rejected on account of the
absence Of Mussulman witnesses to es.
tablish his paternity-for undoubtedly
many of the magistrates, in spite of all
the sovereign hats, still refute or disre.

POIygamy to be squelohed.


The oonstitutionslity Of poIygamy is
about to be settled forever by a test case
of COZ siderable Importance which is
soon to come before the supreme court
OF the United States. George Reynolds,
Of Salt Lake City, was convicted in the
district cou,. of the crime Of having 8
plurality of wives, and sentenced to 3
fine and imprisonment. The case was
then reviewed by the supreme court Of
Utah, which confirmed the sentence,
whereupon an appeal was taken to the
supreme court OF the United States.
There ran be no doubt that the decision
will be against p0lygamy as q crime
against the State as well as q crime
under all canon or church laws and cog
nate rules of polity. La 1870 the atten-
ton of congress was called to the devel-
Opment OF MUrmonism, and that body
declared he practice OF polygamy to be
an ohense punishable at common Law.
The legal prohibition has, however, not
yet been enforced in the Mormon terri
JoEy. Ine anticipated decision CT the
supreme court OF the United States will,
it is hoped, lead the way to the extiuc-
ton Of this foul blot upon the national
character and civilization OF our country.

Manchester Examiner
II any plan presents itsslf whereby
the fall OF Turkey would not lead to the
Immediate ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF Russia,
then the sooner Turkey falls the better.
PIeferable TO any PLAN is some natural
movement in which the young and Wig
oruus displaces what is r0tton, and such
. movement we are witnessing in the
uprising OF the christian races of Eu-
r0pean Turkey. They are the ancient
owners Of the soil. Their ancestors lived
there a thousand years before the Turks
eros ed the Bosporus. The right Of the
Turks to possession is one which is only
respected so long as il ca be made good.
1t Is right which was created by the
sword, and which has never been conse-
created by anything better. We have
all been conquered at one time or au-
other, but where's in other countries the
c1nqUeTOTs have become merged in the
mass of the conquered, and the systems
they established have been modified to
suit the re requirements of after ages, in
European Turkey the corquerors have
always stood apart as ruling caste,
keeping sole possession of the sword,
and denying the mass of the people
every right except that of being mis-
governed. Such an attitude is stand.
ing challenge TO the oppressed races to
reassert their moral rights and recover
political possession of the land which
has always been theirs. The evils
caused by the struggle may be great,
but they are not greater than the evils
which have sll along been silently en-.
dured, while they contain the promise
Of emancipation and the manifold bless
ings which follow in the wake of
freedom.

Speaking Of the new poem by William
Cullen Bryant, which we publish on the
second page this morning, the critic of
the New York Tribune says: " Never
before has any poet, writing in the latter
half OF his eighty second year, shown
such enduring power Of Imagination,
sucd grace, freshness and force of ex.
preston, and such easy mastery of
rhythm. The lines rise, and sink. and
sway, with the movement of the Flood
OF Years as it reveals itself to the poet'B
eye, and they breathe forth those grave,
lofty and haunting harmonies which
have made 'Thanatopsis immortal. Ii
is interesting to fad Bryant, now So
near the usual limit Of life, returning to
the first strains Of his youth-not re.
peating even phrase or cadence, but
adding a second voice, OF richer COM
pass and more assured power. We con.
grstulate the editors and publishers OF
Scri6ner'S Monthly on having secured
such rare and memorable gift for their
great circle Of readers"
