Hostilities on the Danube are still limited to
the efforts of the Turks to prevent the Russians
from crossing easily into the Dobruda, which
the Ottoman troops are about to abandon. The
lighting is mainly between rifled artillery
behind earthwOrks and the Turkish monitors.
The chances of success are largely in favor of
the Russians, whose line of operations is much
too long for tho resources Of the Turkish
feet.

The letter of Gov. Thaycr of Wyoming,
given elsewhere, is calculated TO bring on an
other gold fever, if the last has really died
out. Gov, Thayer believes that "no other
portion Of the carth's surface contains more
" of the precious metals in the same space
" than IL found ~ the Black Hills" This is
not all. He holds out to the advcaturouSly in
clined the alluIing prospect OF the Big Horn
region. lying west of The Black Hills, which 10
thought by many he says, to be stil richer i'll the
precious metals, and which "may prove to be
"altogcthor the hest portion of the Rocky
Mountain mineral field" These statements
he makes in answer to numerous inquiries,
and POUNDS them on most unquestionable evi-
" dcnce.n The Governors implied invitation
for raid upon the Black Hills comes ut time
when there are a good many unemployed peo-
plc with the disposition if not the means to
accept it. And they are not likely to bc dc
TERED by the reflection that they might do
better, as rule, by staying home to dig po-
tatOcs.

Ex-Secretary McCulloch details in another
column the advantages and disadvantages under
which agriculture labors in California. He
shows that what might become the finest farm
ing State in the country remains among the
poorest, because, while the land is rich, it is
held in large tracts and there is too little
variety IN the crops. Farmers generally will
be interested IN his conclusions as TO the back
wardness of farming in the United States.

There can be little doubt that the action of
the meeting Of lawyers yesterday represents
the feeling Of a majority of the bar with re-
spect to the new Code Of Remedial Justice
suddenly precipitated upon the public by a
blundering Legislature. They ask its imme-
dlate and unconditional repeal in order 10
allow time 10 become acquainted with its pro
visions, aud at the same time wisely refrain
from any expression of opinion on its merits.
The request is made with such practical una
mmity that the Legislature can hardly refuse it.

It is difficult to say who has right to COM
plain of the postponement of the extra session
Of Congress till Oct. 10. Not the business
men, for they avoid renewal of political
agitation. Not the leaders of either party. for
thoy have asked for delay and will pro-
cecd with increased hopefuness to plot for
the Speakership. Not the army, for the in
convenience to the soldiers will be slight.
Not the Congressman, for they would risk
health and happiness in midsummer session
Not the newspapers, for the close contempla-
tion of Congress tends TO melancholy. Not
Mr.. Cox, for it allows him longer time to

Mr.. Field for it increases his chances of find

The majority Of tho Chamber OF Deputies commenced
