THE TURKISH ATROCITIES.

THE NsNcEnrrY OF THE ENGLISH HORROR AT
THE BuTcHERIgs.
LONDON, Sept 10, 1875.
The liberal party is doing its best TO make political
capital out OF the atrocty business has already
fear ovcrstepped the bounds Of common sense and
political wisdom. TO road the papers would
imagine that the people OF England are to a man
thoroughly indignant at the Turks and that change
of Ministry il the unanimous domand OF the nation.
As for the indignation Of Engshmen at this moment
II is as hypocritical II Ia absurd. They have an
indefinite feeling about wrongs done by the Turks
to harmless and madens; but very definite
feeling about other wrongs, equally henous, OF
bringing ruin and prvation to thousands OF Eng
lish families. Tho word s'atrocity'' is simply good

ntrocy tho Turks have yet committed is in not pay

God speed Sir John Bennett in collecting help for

all at once attacked aud butchcred with nevertobe

PRESS COMMENTS UPON Mr.. BARINo's REPORT.
From the London Timea1
II is quite certain from MI Bar,ng's report that
scenes as dark over disgraced the most backward
civilization or the degraded savagcry prevailed
Tor days IN province Of the Turkish Empire almost at
the gates OF Constantnoplc. This fscs being cs.ab.
lished, the condemnation OF the government under
which II occurred is irrcs ;stble A strong and lust
government for at least generation would probably
degree from the miscrIes this report DEPICTS and the
task, equally difficult and imperative OF the European
Powers Is 10 provide somo such authority.
A cowARDLY APOLOGY FOR RArINE AND MUIR
DER.
From the London Standard
They Qhc massacrcs prove to us tho folly Of those
who would provoke SIN atrocities by driving TO
desperation people who have shown In so terrible
manner that they are TO perish, they will not perish
alone Nor mus.we in justice forget that the nsur-
gents nrst set the example In massacre Their deeds
Of blood are slight IN comparison with those OF the
Turks but Mr Baring makes IL PLAN that they so
only ior want oi opportunity.
