WAR;:
- sSia and Turkey

Alexander, the car of Russia, issued
IL manifesto of war against Turkey on
uesday lat, and has ordered his armies
across the Pruth. At latest accounts
the advance guards had penetrated Rou-
mania at three points, under the com
mand of Grand Duke Nicholas. The
Russian Prince Gortschakof IN his cir
cular to the great powers on the cause
Of the strife, declares the conflict to be
between Europe and Turkey, and not
Russia and Turkey The Ottoman en-
oassy at St. Petersburg has been invited
TO leave. and as seventeen thousand men
crossed the frontier on the night preced-
ing the declaration Of war, and the order
has been given for the whole Russian
army to advance into Turkish territory.
it Will be seen that Russia is not going
TO waste any time in getting to hard
knocks. The war which must ensue will
be no puny, brief or merciiul affair, but
will be wagcd to the bloody end On
one side there is an unconquerable desire
to secure continental supremacy, and on
the other a blind and furious resolve to
die IN its stronghold rather than yield
its territory or violate the obligations of
It's religious faith Won Moltke, the
great organizer of German victories, de-
clares his confident belief that the war
now begun by Russia will envelop the
whole OF Europe within year, and that
every nation will be compelled to take
up arms in defense of It's interests. if
not of its very existence.

had been stationed, by order of my pre-
de, essor in the immediate vicinity Of
the building used as statehouse, in
New Orleans, Louisiana, and known as
Mechanics Institute, a detachment of
United States infantry. Finding them
in that place, | have thought it proper
to delay decision of the question of
their removal until | could determine
whether the condition of affairs is now
such as to either require or justify COZ
tinued military Intervention of the IA
tional government in the affairs of the
State. In my opinion there does not
now exist In Louisiana such domestic
violence as is contemplated by the CON
stitution as a ground upon which the
militarv power of national government
may be invoked for defense of a state
The disputes which exist as to the right
of certain claimants to the chief exeeu-
tive office of that state are to be settled
and determined not by the Executive
OF The United States, but by such order
~ and peaceable method as may by pro
vlded By the constitution and law of the
state
Having assurance that no resort to
violence is contemplated. but on the
contrary disputes in question are to be
settled by peaceful methods, under and
In accordance with law, | deem it prop
CT TO take action in accordance with the
principles announced when [ entered
upon the duties Of the Presidency y on
are therefore directed 70 see that proper
orders are issued for the removal of said
troops at an early date, from their pre-
sent position to such regular barracks in
the vicinity as may be selected fer theis
occupation.
