The Slender Tics Between sam BewIes
and q. n. Adam.. ~

Joseph Pulitzer in New York Sun.
NO one hears OF Sam Bowles without
thinking of Charles Francis Adams. No
one hears of Charles Francis Adams
without thinking of Sam Bowles. The
number of stories and jokes connecting
the two names floating through the Amer
lean press is inexhaustable. / freely
confess to have had an idea myself that
the personal relations of the Adams and
Bowles aforesaid were of the most init
mate character. know that many
others went much. further. I believe
there was and still is an impression upon
the minds of many people that Sam
Bowles never allows his paper to 90 to
press without first seeing Charles Francis
Adams. And upon the mind of the ma
-tives, If / can use this expression. the
Impression exists that no one stands DO
litically nearer to Charles Francis Ad-
ans than Sam Bowles. ....t
Upon the authority of the latter prick
this bubble. Strange as it may seem,
Bowles told me himself, when 1 asked
him about Mr.. Adams, that he scarcely
knew W him personally; that Charles Fran
els Adams had never crossed the thresh-
old of Sam Bowles' house; that Sam
Bowles never in his whole life crossed
the threshold of Charles Francis Adams
house except once, on the occasion of a
formal dinner given in honor of Newton
Booth, the Senator from California; that
besides this. Sam Bowles, though born
in Springfield, Massachusetts, never met
Charles Francis Adams personally ex-
cept once or twice, and then only by ac-
cldent and most casually.

SIMPLE EACTS-

The Department of State is run ON
magnificent scale, introduced by Hamil-
ton Fish in imitation of the British
Foreign Office. After the Alabama claims
treaty, which cost England good deal
more money Than the indemnity, for
greasing the wheels at Washington, the
old simple ways were rejected, which had
always made That department a model of
dignity and which had sufficed for all the
strain Of the rebellion. With a single
Assistant Secretary, and that office not
created until the war was well advanced,
and without any addition to the clerical
force. Mr.. Seward had conducted, the
immense correspondence and negotiations
which resulted from the interesting strife.
When peace came, and the actual
business was reduced to fractional part
OF what had previously. existed, Mr..
Seward found no reason nforreorgatizing
a department which had met all the re-
quirements of an abnormal condition.
Not SO with Don Hamilton Fish. He
must have more grandeur. They had
learned how the Foreign Office in Down
ing street was got up, and they set to
work on that pattern. A Republican
Congress was always ready to create new
othces aud to vote all necessary appro-
priations. So three Assistant Secretaries
were granted and five chiefs of bureaus
TO supervise the subordinates, with large
salaries to keep up their magnificence.
At this time Mr.. Evarts is taking his
ease in Vermont, and two of the Assist
ant Secretaries, with number of lesser
lights, are wandering about. 1t has been
necessary to call in outside aid, and MT.
George e. Baker, recently Comptroller
under Boss Shepherds Government, is
by no means distressed by its burden.
Meantime, Mr.. Evarts is supposed to be
occupied in drawing up rules for OWL
service reform, which have occupied his
thoughts since April last

The Eastern War.

The Russians now have about
10000 men around Pleyna, and s
telegraphic wire connecting every
position. Osman has the best sol
diers of the Turkish army in West
ern Bulgaria with him around
Plevna, and is outnum bered in ali
directions, while the Russians have
taken care to strengthen their east
ern line so that no reinforcements
can come from the LON or from
south Of the Balkans to Plevna.
Chevket Pasha has not forces
enough to break through the Rus
sian Gordon to relieve Osman, whose
soldiers are already deserving in an
ticipation of surrender. During
the last few weeks the Russians
have been remarkably active and
judicious in hurrying forward rein
forcements. The only chance for
the Turks is for Suleiman Pasha to
defeat the Czarevitch's army be-
tween the Jantra and LON, east OF
Plev1a, aud he does not seem dis
posed TO make the effort. General
Radetsky holds Shipka Pass, and
the line from that point to Bjela
and Sistova is impenetrable. Me
hemet Ali seems only TO be acting
on the defensive about Sofia, and
the situation suggests that the
Turks will shortly be checkmated
IN Western Bulgaria. Courier Jour.
