that they were cheated ont Of the
President they elected. The pro-
duction Of the kilograms thatpassed
from Washington to New Orleans
after Zach. Chandler notified our
Republican papers here not to
give up the election because Hayes
was chosen, viii make political
reading Of a profounder interest
than any ever spread before the
people. The judgment will fall
more heavily on the ccnspirators,
because the evidence is promised
to be furnished by Southern Re-
publicans. The Democrats have
no hand in the business whatever.
Retribntion will overtake the guilty
parties agreeably to the strictest
rules of jnstice. Those who con-
spired confess. We sincerely
hope that the inside Of this wicked
business will be exposed to the
public gaze, and the whole Of the
inquitiy will he told and nothing
held back. And we have faith to
believe that Providence will find
the most effectual way of it. We
may expect to witness desperate
efforts made to suppress the facts
threatened, either by operating on
the law officers of Louisiana to
induce them to decline to prose-
cute on the indictment found by
the grand jury against the members
of the Returning Board, or by an
appeal by the latter to direct
Federal interference; but if the
proof is capable of being produc-
ed, it is to be hoped by all honest
and good citizens that it will be,
for the sake of vindicating popular
sovereignty and PERMITTING the
people to bury the fraudulent act
under the heaviest possible weight
of their condemnation.

was published yesterday; The
besieged Russians having refused
to surrender, the bombardment OF
the citadel has been reopened.
Gen. Tergukassoff is near Sinsck,
four hours march from Bayazid.
London, July ia dispatch
from Kars, July 9Th, says: Yes
terday Mukhtar Pasha, with eigh-
teen field and six mountain guns,
500 regular and $500 irregular
cavalry and thirty battalions of
infantry advanced from Kirkbunar
to Wahirankale, eight miles south
of Kars. This morning. Mukhtar
Pasha rode in, leaving his forces
intrenched Mt Wahirankale. Sir
Arnold Kimball, a British military
attache, also came in and went over
the batteries on the Karidagh
redout, the easternmost position,
where the bombardment has been
heaviest. Yesterday there was
very heavy firing on both sides.
The Russian headquarters are at
Zaim, eight miles to the northeast,
but their batteries are advanced
to within 1000 yards east. The
Turkish loss during the siege has
been trifing. That of the Russians
is unknown. Their fire was most
accurate, and for some days has
been overwhelming. Over 1000
shells from fifteen and eighteen
Centimer guns were thrown into
the place in one day. Mukhtar
Pasha proposes to intrench himself
and revictual Kars for the winter.
At present it is well supplied
with stores and ammunition, and
prices are cheaper than at Erze-
roum. The appearance of the
troops is excellent and their health
good. They are most enthusiastic.
The officers seem well educated.
The place is almost impregnable.
London, July ia dispatch
from Erzeroum states that the
attempt OF the Russians under
Gen. Tergukassoff to relieve the
besieged garrison at Bayazid has
failed, Notwithstanding that the
garrison made a determined sortie.
The Russians after suffering severe
loss, retreated to Mount Ararat,
where they were again defeated.
The Turks took many prisoners
and six guns.

Resurrection Of Guilt.
From the Boston Post.

From the Boston Post.
The ghost of the Returning
Board walks. 1t will not down at
the bidding Of anybody. 1t is a
ghost that is haunting President
Hayes most uncomfortably at the
present time. If it shall prove
true that Pitkin and Packard are
in possession of documentary
evidence going to show that the
Louisiana Returning Board not
only stole the vote of the State for
Hayes but were explicitly instructed
to steal it by the Republican man
ayers at Washington, to steal it at
any hazard and without regard TO
an honest count, the nation will
then become convinced Of the great
fraud perpetrated upon it in man
ner which it cannot resist or qualify ;
and it can no longer refrain from
uttering its opinion and purpose so
that both shall be finally under
stood. For, with this evidence in
hand, it will be no party's business
hereafter to remedy so great a
wrong, but the business of the
people Of the whole country, by
whom the parties are made and nm
made. 1t is the policy Of the Re-
publican journals to impress it
upon the public mind that this is
but a Democratic defeat, deserving
no more serious attention than is
ordinarily given to a simple party
disappointment. But that is de-
grading the subject. Only an
intense partisanship, itself narrow
and reckless, would consent to do
It. With the proofs Of the Louis
lana fraud in black and white, no
party can consent to silence in the
presence Of the peoples sover-
eighty. II Is Republican States
evidence that the country is
promised, and late as it comes IL
will have to be heard. The Demo
Gratis offered to prove their case
and were denied a hearing; the
Republicans themselves now offer
to establish their case for them.
No matter whom or what IL
hurts; II Pitkin and Packard can
produce this testimony 1t belongs
to the country as proof that IL has
been outrageously defrauded.

Congress, or politicians, IL is the

When the Russians have obtain
ed such victories over the Turks
that England becomes alarmed, and
Austria importunate for Der assis-
lance, then the offer Of Egypt,
which we have good reason to be-
lieve has been already made to
England indirectly and confiden-
TALLY by the Russo-German cabin
cts, will be made openly, and no
Ministry will be able to resist the
pressure of the British public,
who will then insist upon escaping
from all further danger of a Euro
pean war, by the simple expedient
of entering into quiet ownership
of the Suez canal, "the high road
to the East" the key to the Indian
Empire" and so forth. Turkey
will then be left to her fate. Aus
tria will have to make the best
terms she can, and live in the hope
that Germany and Russia may
quarrel over the spoils. France
will be furious at seeing England
master of Egypt, but powerless to
resent it; and Monsieur de Les
seps may be driven to the desper-
ate expedient of naturalizing him
self as a British subject; but a
European war will have been avert
ed, the Turks driven out of Eu-
rope, the Christian Slavs and the
Greeks in Turkey will be left to
govern or to massacre each other,
as the case may be, and highlands
mouth will be effectually stopped
in regard to any disposition which
it may suit Russia and Germany to
make of the rest of Europe.
For these reasons we believe that
for the present the war will be 10
Called, that the protectorate of the
Khedive will be transferred from
the Sultan to the sovereign of Great
Britain, and that the general con-
viii be everted until the
two great powers of Russia and
Germany, now practically united
against Europe, find themselves
masters of the situation, and take
to fighting with each other for the
supremacy. OF course all this may
be indefinitely delayed by the
events of the war. We have al
ways insisted that those journals
that predicted march through
Asia Minor to the Dardanelles, or
a military promenade to the Holy
Land, by the Russians, were en-
tirely mistaken. We have main
tanned that Russia's weak spot was
the Trans Caucasus, and that Tur-
keys strong frontier was Armenia.
Events have proved that we were
right. We have yet to see wheth-
err the passes of the Balkan are to
be traversed with the facility which
these same philo-Russian journals
md their imaginative correspon-
dents have promised, or whether
the combined effects of stubborn
resistance, a bad climate, and in
sufficient commissariat may not
protract operations over another
year.

Special Correspondence from the
Seat Of War.
MIR. CLIPPERS, Correspondent.

dropol, July 9, virtually admits
that the siege of Kars has been
raised. The dispatch is as follow {:
Gen. Milikoff, being apprised of
the movement Of Mukhtar Pasha's
troops toward Kars, in order to
place the troops besieging Kars in
a position to move with greater
readiness suspending the lombard
ment, sent the siege artillery to
Kurukdara and Alexandropol, con-
centrated the greater part of the
cavalry at Khajavall to prevent
communication and stationed the
infantry at Zaim. The dispatch
also admits the retreat of Tergu-
kassoff and says the necessity of
protecting three thouand Christian
families who were fleeing from
Alashkert to escape the Kurds and
Bashi- Bazouks, who were mas
sacreing the population Of whole
villages, delayed his movements
and enabled the enemy to harass
bis rear. After placing the sick,

London, July IA st. Peters
