The War in Turkey


Tho aro,;es are pausing in Bulgaria, rest
ing from their labors and their Wasting oa',
ties, and plastering their hurts. II seems :"
be at present dead lock- the russians uu,
able to advance, and the Turks uhaplc '"
dislodge them from their present posleeon'
Looking at the present SITUATION tnere'oIu,
as one which may last until the close OF the
campaign, and perhaps last through the
winter, It becomes possible to calculate tne
results Of the war thus far. Inc husslah
invasion cannot be called q failure, even
should il end here. At the declaration OF
war the PFuth was the boundary llne' hou,
mania was Turkish province, and Servla anu
Herzegovina crushed in their attempted revolt;
Roumania is now an dependent state, ana
educating the armies that may keep her SO,
while battling in Bulgaria. Servia and her,
zegovina and Bosnia, though they have not
declared their independence, have been freed
from the evils Of Turkish rule, and have male
progress in military preparations Tor sell
defense. Should the armies in Bulgaria go
into winter quarters in their present POSITIONS
il is almost certain that the Sclavie provinces
would unite in declaration of independence
during the winter, and be prepared by
spring with armies that could maintain H.
Moreover, Bulgaria Is already largely in Rus
sian occupation The army Of inyas ex.
tends from the river to the mountains, and
cuts out large triangular slice. Dobrudscha,
the span handle" of Bulgaria, is held by the
Russians as far south as the wall OF Trajan,
and with the exception Of Widdin, Ruslchuk
aud Silistra, the Danube is now Russian
river. The military situation proper is pecu,
liar. heRussians are unable TO advance, and
they have lost iearfuly in men, material and
morale in their attempts to destroy the army
of Osmau Pasha. His presence at Pleyna is a
complete paralysis TO the Russian advance;
and there appears to be no probability that he
will be dislodged. And yet, 50 crushing 10
Turkey is the dead weight ofthe Russian army
south Of the Danube--so full of danger is its
mere presence there-thatlh the Turks are driven
to assault them in their earthwOrks, in the
vain attempt to drive them across the Danube.
The Turk evidently breads a winter cam
paign in Bulgaria. The climate is severe,
and the Asiatic troops will suffer terribly
from its rigors; while TO the harder MuscO'
vite and Cossack il will be almost like summer.
The Turks have had sufficient success TO
prevent European mediation in their favor,
and can rely on nothing but their own armies.
The great peacemaker, however, is financial
trouble. Both Russia and Turkey are in
the depths Of pecuniary embarrassment. 1t
is questionable whether either will have the
sinews Of war for another campaign. Bdito,

TwEED's REvELATIoNs.-The New
York correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Ledger, Of Monday, says
Tweed's implication of leading Wall
street Spectator in carrying through the IA
nous Erie Classification bill by the direct
bribery Of members of the Legislature 1.-THE
name of the specnlator being given as the
briber,) it is reported, to-day, will constitute
the basis Of an indictment by the Grand Jury.
The law against bribery is very stringent as
well as very explicit-its penalties apply as
well to the briber as TO the bribed, and il
means not only heavy fines but also incarce-
ration in the State Prison for a term Of years.
Fit be urged that Tweed, having previously
sworn that he never bribed any Senator or
Assemblyman, has no status in Court or be-
fore the community as competent witness,
the answeris that his previous denials had
reference to the "Tweed Charter and not
TO the Erie Classification. The matter is
making good deal Of talk in Wall and Broad
streets, as well as at the City Hall and in the
District Attorneys Office.
