The statement of the govern
mental expenditures for the last
fiscal year, amounting exclusive OF
the interest on the public debt, to
sl42, 100000, and including the
interest charge, to s299,5OO,OOO,
shows what was affected by the
economy of the Democratic House
of Representatives of the Forty
fourth Congress. The total expen-
ditures were s25,OOO,OOO or $780,
100000 less than those for the pre-
ceding fiscal year. when the APP
preparations were made by Re-
publican Congress, and great boasts
made of the economy that was OBJ
served.

Europe.

Mr.. James Card, in his annual
letter to the London Times on the
harvest prospect, says: "The ex-
tent of wheat is greater by nearly
100000 acres than last year, but
100000 acres. or one-ninth, below
the average of the ten preceding
years. On a careful analysis OF
of the country l find that in twelve
of the principal wheat counties,
which represent one-half of the
wheat growth Of the kingdom,
three-quarters of the returns show
that the crop is below the average
crop. For the remainder OF the
country the deficiency is some
what less in proportion. The
returns show a very general de-
flciency. They are below an
average crop, but not greatly be-
low it. The general yield is better
than that of 1853, 1867, or 1875,
the three worst crops in thirty-four
years, but fear that it will not be
equal to the defective crop of last
year, and that Notwithstanding the
increased acreage, we shall not
have more than between 100000
and 100000 quarters of the
home crop. The reduction of con-
sumption consequent on the en-
HANGED price may reduce the years
requirement to 20,500,000 quarters.
On two conditions-of strict econ
omy in consumption, and an early
harvest next year-the foreign
supply we should in these circum-
stances require might be limited
to 100000 quarters. This takes
the most favorable view of our
position, for north of the Trent
most of the crop is still unharvest-
ed, and is subject to the risks OF q
late season and very unsettled
weather. If we were the only
country that required help, and
il we could rely on the countenance
OF the large scale of foreign i'm
ports which has marked the last
four years, there would be little
cause for apprehension, but, witt
the exception of some parts Of
Spain all western Europe is def.
Gent, and the ports of the Black
Sea are closed, while a renewal
OF the famine in India can hardly
admit Of any increase of the large
supply we have received from
that quarter during the present
year. We must therefore, look to
America for considerable in
crease even on her great exports Of
the last four years, and, If war in
Turkey continues, the vast re-
sources VI the United States and
Canada will indeed be severely
taxed to make good the wants of
this country and western Europe.

Special Correspondence from the
Seat Of Var.
MIR. CLIPPERS, Correspondent.

London, Sept. "A correspon-
dent with the Czarowitch's army
says of Thursdays battle: Gen.
Zonoff, who commanded at Kara
san, had about 5000 infantry, 500
cavalry and ten guns. No less
than 10000 Turks formed the ad-
vance. 1t was an odds OF six to
one for eight hours before the Rus
slams left the village, and firing was
continuous during the whole day.
After the Turks had entered a
portion of the village the Russian
infantry held their ground for two
hours awaiting reinforcements. At
length 1900 came and two hours
more hot firing ensued, during
which the Turks we're continually
being reinforced 10y masses Of
troops. 1t was long since certain
we must lose our position, but re-
NAMED fairly until four, the fight
ing having commenced at eight in
the morning, when from all along
the line came suddenly back the
exhausted infantry, and the only
remark passing was, "there are
too many" Gen. Zonoff and his
staff were untiring in their exer-
tons. When the retreat began it
was an ugly one. From one little
rise TO another We went, each time
until the fire was too hot for us, and

A wrecking company proposes
to blow up what is in reality the
grave of two hundred sailors. The
monitor Tecumseh was sunk in
Mobile harbor in 1864, when Far
ragut captured the forts. 1t is I'M
derstood that a wrecking company
purchased the monitor some months
ago from Secretary Richardson,
and, Notwithstanding the fact that
two hundred men are entombed
therein, were preparing to blow
her up for the purpose of preserv-
ing the old iron belonging to the
vessel. A bill has been filed in the
Circuit Court of the United States
to prevent the Bell Boat Wrecking
Company from blowing up the
'sunken vessel, and the court de-
cided in favor of the bill filled. 1t
is understood that the company
have appealed to the Supreme
Court of the United States.

had made scarcely any impression
on that fearful pile. The road was

rankles in the breast of the nation,
and is SO keenly felt that, reckless
of consequences, it dares openly to
express itself in terms of bitter
ness and even of defiance.
The contempt with which
Turkey has been spoken OF
throughout Europe now recoils
fearfully on the originators of the
favorite epithet which was coined
to express it a quarter of a century
ago. The reaction would be
ludicrous were it not for the fear
full consequences which 1t may
involve. If the terms "Sick men"
and COLOSSUS of the North" had
never been invented. the Russians
would at least have been spared
the ridicule their vanity has been
the means of heaping upon them ;
but blinded by traditional and
religious luminosity to the true
strength and vitality of the power
whose territory they converted,
and pulled up with an inordinate
estimate of their own magnitude
and resources, they have called
upon Europe to witness a discom-
future without parallel in modren
times.
Much-despised Turkey has been
the means of pricking the bubble
which ever since the Crimean war
has been expanding in dimensions,
until all Europe was becoming
alarmed. The bugbear which par
alyzed the policy of Austria is set
at rest. 1t is now put beyond a
doubt that Austria would at any
time have been more than a match
single handed, against Russia
The German army, in which a
strong desire has existed ever
since the Franco-German war to
measure swords with Russia, as
q foeman worthy of their steel, now
see that no glory is to be gained
10y victories over nation whom
the Turks can vanquish. The
French, who have fondly clung
to possible alliance with Russia, as
affording the only hope of restora'
ton to their former greatness and
influence in Europe, will preceive
that they have been trusting to Q
broken reed while England car
regard undismayed the annexation
of petty Mussulman State II
central Asia, secure in the fact thai
the troops that have failed in the
Shipka pass would never be able tc
force their way, in the teeth of thu
armies of India, through the
Bolan and the Khyber. The illus
ion of the pan-slavic giant ha'
been rudely dispelled, and it il
now clear that if Europe is to b'
forced into the Napoleonic alterna
tive of becoming either Cossacl
or republican, it is the latter fate
which awaits her. 1t would be
strange, indeed, if the republican,
ism of Europe came from Cos
sack source; and il the nationa
agitation to which the failure o
the Russian armies in Bulgari
may give rise, should be de
veloped into a revolutionary move
ment, spreading into the othe
countries of the continent. That al
importent political change of SOM
sort is pending in Russia, Their
can be little doubt but this vii
in all probability inaugurated, a
all important political change
have ever been in that singula
country, by the removal, either b.
death or abdication, of its presen
ruler, whose health and mind, it i
reported, are both becoming
seriously affected by the failure o
his armies.
