Our Special Despa tch from Jeni
Soghra. 49,.


The success which has attended our efforts
to lead all our contemporaries in presenting
to the public the latest and most reliable
sary to enumerate the many triumphs Of
the HERALD in that respect. Indeed, the
superiority Of our system of special CORE
spondence by telegraph is acknowledged
both in this country and in Europe as be-
yond dispute. Notwithstanding the facili-
ties possessed by European journals for OBJ
tanning the very latest news from the seat
Of war, and in which they have the i'm
mense advantage in a saving Of time,
expense and trouble of transmission, we
can congratulate ourselves and our
readers on the fact that this ''latest news" is
as soon as it reaches the readers Of leading
English. French and German newspapers,
and very frequently sooner. Our very COM
plete and graphic description Of the desper-
ate battle of Febditch, near Jeni Saghra,
fought on Monday afternoon, between the
huSSluu uyluB COluiuu tuht uhu cIOSScu IAo
Balkans and the Turks under Liman Bey,
and which was published in yesterdays
HERALD, illustrates the. ubiquity and
promptness of our special war correspond
ents. Here was great end important ac-
ton fought at the southern base Of the
Balkan Mountains on Monday even
ing and on Tuesday morning the
readers of the HERALD in New York have
the very details of the battle clearly and ac-
curately described Had the action taken
place in Virginia or in New Jersey, instead
Of in the southeastern corner OF Europe, the
account could scarcely have reached this
city and been published sooner. It is enter
prise and energy like this that have made the
HERALD the leading newspaper of the day.
Whatever human skill and activity can ac-
complish to render the transmission of news
rapid and accurate is part of the HEnALD's
system Of war correspondence. It is ex-
tremely doubtful if the people Of Constan-
tinople know half as much this morning
concerning this first trans-Balkan battle of
the war as the readers Of the HERALD knew
of it yesterday morning, twelve hours alter
the action had taken place.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1877-07-18


Beyond further details of the fighting ut
Jeni Saghra and Nicopolis the news from the
East is very meagre this morning The sue
cess Of the Russians at Nicopolis is a very
substantial one, and highly valuable as the
solution of serious strategical problem.
The fruits of the victory turn out to
be six thousand prisoners, with two
pachas, forty field and twelve heavy
guns and two monitors. But the great
est importance attaches to it because
it relieves the Sistova bridge from con-
stantly threatening danger and affords the
Russians better bridge line than that they
have been using at Sistova. 1t also estab-
fishes the final isolation OF Widdin from the
quadrilateral and thus insures the re-
duction Of the town by short siege.
LON Palanka, small fortress on
the riverside road to Widen Now,
the Russians, having already felt the
enemy through the Balkan pass
with their advance guard, understand
pretty well how to engage him seriously
in that direction. They are preparing,
therefore, to establish q chain Of depots Of
supply for the support of their army, Of
which Bucharest is the main one, while
Tirnova will be for the present the most adj
vanced, with Sistova as nm inter-
mediate depot. This establishes a
definite line of advance, which can
be traced along the Jantra toward the
Schipka pass. The evacuation of Medjidie
announced in the dispatches is old news to
HERALD readers, for the town was practically
abandoned by the Turks soon after the Rus
SLAMS crossed at Hirsova. If Mangalia, on
the coast, is really evacuated. then General
Zimmerman's forces in the Dobrudscha are
making fair progress and may soon be able
to open communications with the Army of
the Jantra.

derer of the city treasury. He thence as
sumed that the important feature on his
part was to be confession, which should
annihilate some regulations of which there
was already little left, and he coolly got rid
of the subject of restitution by pleading
pauperism that he was foolish, fond
old man, who had robbed the city
only that sharper men might in turn
rob him. At this point the authorities
Tweed. But party politicians at the same
juncture saw that the confession" might
be made an extremely effective engine OF
assault against their enemies, and they en-
couraged Tweed's delusion in order to full
inmate in the interest of Tammany Hall the
stale and feeble thunder of the broken
down Tammany magnate. His con-
fession, therefore, became their tool,
and he himself became once more
the victim of too much legal advice and too
much regard fer the frowsy charms Of
once beautiful woman, and seems actually
to have believed that he was to get off at
the extremely cheap rate of swearing to a
document in which anybody and everybody
should be called by just such names as it
suited the plans of few coarse politicians
to call them. This history of the confession
restores the whole Tweed negotiation
to the practical ground of once more
giving the project of restitution its proper
Importance. The question, therefore, is, Has
Tweed any money to restore There is good
reason to believe that he still actually con-
trolls very large portion of what was stolen.
Why. then. should he not be forced to make
restitution as Sweeny did and as they did
whose money was held in the name OF
Watson? 1t must come to that. He has
not pulled wool over the eyes of Justice yet.
He is tight and fast in her grip, and the
only hope or chance for his escape is the
return of his plumber.
