The Turks are expert at financial strategy.
They have just paid the August interest on
the loan of 1856, which was guaranteed by
England and France. This is done to repress
the ill-feeling which would result from British
and French taxpayers being compelled to pay
Turkish debts. Holders of other loans, OF
course, remain stin unpaid. Another pecuniary
artifce is exposed in our Constantinople letter.
The Porte announced large subscriptions to
the National war fund.- mainly from Govern
ment officials; but as these tributes are under
stood to be overdue balances which might
never be paid, it is obvious that the patriotic
sacrifice involved was not very great.
1t seems probable that Tweed and his cousin
Hunt were, as reported, in the south OF
France, and that they sailed thence for Vigo,
on the Spanish coast, intending to arrive there
unobserved and reside in one of the secluded
towns in the Biscayan provinces. This plan
has been partly frustrated by the Spanish au-
thorities a1resting both Tweed and Hunt, and
lodging them in the fortress at VlgO
Judging from the first telegram, the Spaniards
evidently supposed the fugitives Were the alb
ductOrs of Charley Ross, and so the more
readily detained them. 1t is satisfactory to
know where Tweed is, but so long as he re-
mains in Spain we cannot expect his surren-
der. The need of an extraditiOn treaty with
that country is daily becoming more apparent.
No such display of iron and steel, both in
respect to ores and manufactures, as the Cen
tennial Exhibition affords, has ever been pre-
sented before. The increased use of iron Is
~ oc hnth in ftc me-
and manufacture the United States now take
rank among the leading nations. At Philadel-
phia the opportunity is afforded for comparing
our progress in this respect with that OF other
countries The comparison is on the whole
rather gratifying to our national pride. But
the exhibits are somewhat scattered about In
different buildings, and their examination
would be difficult without guidance Our
Philadelphia correspondence published to-day
covers this ground, and gives some interest
ing details about the more prominent displays.
