The situation In Turkey.

LONDON, July 9. The Simnitza correspond
ent OF the Daily Ne,es understands the Gar
has resolved finally to cross the Danube and
see as much of the war as possible.
The czarewiteh will be appointed to the chief
command OF the army designated for the
siege Of Rustchuk.
Daily NeCs dispatch, dated Erzeroum,
Sunday, Says: "The Russians are advancing
into the Olti valley. It is feared this move
ment is In consequence of their withdrawal
from other points The Turks are massing
troops to resist"
The Ne,cs' Vienna dispatch states that
10000 newly arrived Russian troops are now
on the march from Jassy to Galatz
The Times correspondent at Bucharest
says: The Russians assert that the affair at
Bela was simply a feint. This probably is
true, but the feint became more serious than
was intended, probably the Russian force
making the demonstration on Biela came
among the. Turks in force stronger than ex-
pected, and suffered severely in consequences.
Several hundred wounded have reached
Bucharest from this engagement.
Two Russian corps are moving into Rou-
mania to form q reserve.
Abdul kerim is said to be fortifying q line
from Shumla to Jambah to defend Adrianople.
The Manchester Gaardiap's special from
Simnitza Saturday reports that the Tur ks
evacuated Biela on the following morning af-
ter the battle; they fell back on the line Of
Rustchuk. A battle is imminent near Tir-
nova.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-Gen. Ord, command
ing the Department Of Texas, telegraphs TO
the War Department the report OF Lieut.. Col
Shafter, Of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, to
wit: That Lieut. Bulls Twenty-fourth In
fantry, In coming down from Fort Davis,
struck o trail of Indians from Gillespie co,ln-
ty, half way between the Pecos and Rio
Grande, just before night, oath June and only
three or four hours behind them He followed
TO the Rio Grande and crossed the river,
drowning two Of his horses, and on the third
day came on them as they were resting. He
attacked them at once. The Indians retreated
to the mountains, fighting.
After engagements lasting one hour all
managed to escape, some of them being
wounded. Bulls got all the stolen horses,
but he also found at their camp parts Of the
harness taken from johnson on the Nueees,
showing that some Of the band had scattered
after that affair. and had got with party
raiding In Gillespie county. Bulls reports
the Indians as Lipans, and he saw no signs
to indicate that they were near their village.

KEYES TO KEY.
A. G. b.
TChicsgo Times 4


Some further light upon the true in
tent and meaning of the Presidents re-
forming order has been obtained
through an application of Boss Keyes
to the Postmaster General. The Boss
informs the head of the department
that four Of the five members of the
Republican Central Committee In Wis
'consin are postmasters, and he asks IL
their signatures to call for State con-
vention will be construed as q
violation of the order. Mr.. Key
might have informed Mr.. Keyes
that the bare fact OF membership OF the
committee, without the performance of
any act, is clear violation of the letter
and spirit of the new rule; but ne did
not. On the contrary he blandly as
sured the Madison postmaster that the
committee of postmasters might sign
the call, attend the convention and call
it to order. without doing violence to the
patent India-rubber civil service refor-
nation which is to be the browning
glory Of this administration but they
must not undertake to direct the DELHI
erations OF the meeting or to control it's
action. This latest explanatory note
reduces the whole business considerably
below the comedy level. What remains
of 1t is too stupid even for farce.

wolves i'm Russia.

Apamphlet by Lasarewski, which has
been issued from the Russian Ministry
OF the Interior, gives formidable ac-
count OF the ravages of wolves, from
which it appears that in European Rus
sia alone about 100000 of these beasts
are harbored, a number Of which shows
an increase rather than a diminution
during the last decade. In the three years
ending in 1851 125 persons were Killed
by wolves, and in 1875 161 persons met
their death from the same cause, Off
cial reports show that every year about
1870 900 head of large animals and 560. 600
head OF small fall victims to these
marauders; but these numbers are in
adequate, since much destruction is
wrought which is not officially reported.
The female wolves nourish their young
on fowl, and in the one government Of
Kasan they dispose Of some II 900 geese
annually; besides this, they kill at least
100000 dogs In the same time, and alto
gether cost European Russia about

Pitkin- Well, neither Packard nor myself is
bent upon any deep-seated revenge but as far
rs we. can afford the Republican party legiti-
mate redress we will not hesitate to do IT,
Repofter--Is 1t true that you two gentle
men have brought about The Indictment
against the members of the Returning Board?
Pitkin.It is an atrocious falsehood We
have had nothing whatever to do with If,
The Grand Jury is composed of Democrats.
and the Judge (Whitaker) is violent Demo-
crat. / am satisfied that the whole move
ment was instigated from New York in the
I1lden interest; moreover, I am led to be-
lieve that the original returns of the late cleo.

The New York Tribune ON the Theory of
the Returning R0ard Indictments.


That the prosecuting officer In New
orleans had perfect right to commence
proceedings against, and the Grand Jury
the right and possibly reasonable cause
70 1nd1ct, the members OF the Louisiana
Returning Board, no one will of course
deny. Nor can 1t be claimed that the
proceeding is In any sense breach Of
laith on the part OF the authorities or
the political leaders, since whatever may
nave been the terms OF the agreement
or understanding upon which the elec-
ton difficulty was settled, it is plain
enough that no compact between
politicians to forbear proceedings
could be held binding upon the
courts and officers Of the law,
The decision Of the Electoral Commis-
sion was based upon the fact that all the
methods and processes OF the election
were provided for by State authority as
q matter of purely State concern, that
