WAR ITEMS.

London, July 9.-The English gov
crnment has information that the Rus
slams intend to occupy Constantinople
at all risks, unless the Turks anticipate
that event by making peace ON the
czar's tie e.ms. The effect of this and
other intelligence as to Russian inteii-
tions has been to modify very consid'
erably the view taken OF the crisis by
certain members of the cabinet. The
practical outcome will probably be II
more energetic members should feel
bound TO adopt an active policy, they
will no longer lie opposed by those OF
their colleagues who have hitherto
been disposed to caution.
There are reported powerful rein
forcements 20 be seut to the squadron
on Besika bay.
The sultan recently at private aud
ience declared to Layard, British rep
resentative, he would not guarantee
protection to Christians if the Russ AN
continue to excite rebellion in Bulga
ria and perpetrate atrocities in Asi
Minor.
st. Petersburg, July 9-The czar
witch yesterday telegraphed that
body of cavalry with one battery SUI
prised Tiernova Saturday and cap'u
ed the Turkish camp with ammunitio
and baggage. The Turks retreated I

New York, Juue ia Herald cable
special says: There is no longer any
reason to doubt that the Turks have
suffered severe defeat at kars. Every
effort is made by the authorities at Con-
stantinople to conceal the truth in refer
ence tosthe Asiatic campaign.
Muktar Pasha had established por-
ton of his forces near the River Phasis,
between Kars aad Erzeroum, with the
object Of covering his communication
with the latter city. This force had
taken the precautign to erect earthW0rks
and considered themselves safe. On
ThHrsdaYlast the Russians unexpectedly
appeared in force and began a vigorous
attack.
The Turks repulsed the attacking
columns several times. only giving way
when driven from their positions by
superior numbers, The battle continued
until nightfall. The advantage rested
with the Russian forces. Several re-
doubts had been captured and held. At
daybreak the battle wass renewed and
continued during the day.
The Russians assert heavy losses were
sustained by the Turks, and bear Wit
ness to the obatinacy of their defense,
The loss of the position is very serious
for Mukhtar Pasha's army, .as the Rus
sian force now directly threatens his
communications with Erzeroum.

duct shows that he was both sincere
and determined in the announcement
made in his speech at Baton Rouge,
accepting the nomination, that if cleo
ted he would be the GoveEnor Of the
people Of the State, and not of a party.
He il worthy of all honor from every

We have heard by personal, private
information, that the Sheriff of Cameron
parish, being unable to discharge the
duties of his Office according to law,
having been somewhat buH-dozed by
the vigilance organization which seems
to have had control of that parish,
resigned; whereupon, there was an eff
fort on the part of the vigilance on one
side, and of others who were not in
favor of vigilance organizations on the
other, to have an appointment made to
the vacant positiqa to suit themselves.
The vigilance weEt so far, we are told,
as to send committee or representa-
tive, to the Governor, to urge him to
appoint their choice. They failed how
q ver, and the other man was appointed ;
and I'm the talk with the Governor, they
laarna.d that If they Killed their fellow

they woul,l receive the same justice

ly, without regard to politics or race, ,
and uninfuenced by the fear or favor
of those. persons or organizations
who would substitute their own
passions and prejudices for the es-
tabIished laws of the State. With
such a Governor and such efficient
parochial officers, as we have in Ut.
Landry, to support him, we will soon
have one of the most peaceable and
lawrabiding States in the Union.

The Glorious Fourth.

For several days before the dawnine
of that muchly celebrated day, the
Fourth of July, our citizens in different
portions of the parish had made their
arrangements for celebrating that day.
On that morning Opelousas Fire Co.
No. l, wendedthe way to Prud'homme
Springs near town to spend the day.
Fire Co. No. 2, composed of our colored
citizens, paraded through town with
their engine very handsomely decorated
with two white horses in the lead. and
their members in full uniform. The
most striking feature of their parade
was the little race horse Bob Daniel,
that walked quietly between the ropes.
handsome pair of gilded buck horns
were attached to the harness saddle
upon his back, and he seemed to be
enjoying the parade as much as any
body. The Company after parading
throughthe town left for Nezat's Springs
neaHsdwn where they pic-nicked all day.
In our sister town of Washington, we
understand, their preparations were
magnificent. All their companies turned
out and spent the day at Woedworth's
Springs. Some of our young men left
town the day before, for Bayou Beuf,
to attend Temperance picnic and fish
fry on the Crocodile. From their ac-
count they must have had a splendid
time. Of the temperance speech that
was delivered upon the occasion, we
hear very conflicting accounts from
each one of them. They all agree upon
one or two points and those are that
they caught over barrel of fine fish,
had the finest dinner that was set in
any portion of the parish, on that day,
saw and had the pleasure of being in
company with the handsomest young
ladies in ST. Landry, danced all night,
drank nothing but lemonade, and ar
rived home at sunrise feeling refreshed
and ready to work for another year
upon the remembrance of the many
pleasant incidents Of the day, and the
kind, courteous and hospitable treat
ment they received.
Sobrlety seemed to be the merry
characteristics Of all the gatherings
throughout the parish We saw less
drunkenness on that day in our little
town than on any other occasion of a
similar kind since the war. We are
glad to chronicle SO great an improve
ment in our midst Our Fire Companies
leave, town, with kegs of lager and
baskets of wine, and all return sober.
some of our young men ride twenty
miles on that day to attend a temper
ance picnic and listen to temperance
speech, and yet we. find some who refuse
to believe that the good work began by
DIR. Harmon in our midst has not proved
a success. We will begin to appreciate
the Fourth of July in the future if we
don't haze to get tight.
