THE INDIAN WAR.
BATTLE HOURLY EXPECTED
TIE EAsTERN wAR.

LONDON, July 1.-The N. Y. Herald cor~
respondent At Pera confirms the report
cabled yesterday that great battle has oc-
CURED between sistova and Nicopolis. Turk
ish official accounts oepresent that the, OF.
tomsn troops successfully resisted the RUS
sian attack and repulsed them with great
daughter. Every available man was hur-
ried up to resist the Russian advance before
they could gain firm footing on Bulgarian
soil. It is reported that struggle is pro.
gressing along the whole limo Of the Danube
The latest reports Saturday, state that the
result of the battle near sistovs is unknown.
NO CROSSING At TuRNA>,lAauRILLI.
No crossing has taken place here, although
there were widespread reports, even In offi-
cisl circles, to that affect. Indeed It ls not
now likely that any men viii be sent over at
this point. The intention Of tho Russians
to effect passage at this point has been
notorious for tho past fortnight. The Turks
therefore concentrated large numbers Of
men at Ntcopolis, thus compelling the Rus>
SLAMS to choose another point.
UNDECIDED UNTIL THE LAST MOMENT.
The demonstration at Turna>Magurelli,
was made in such force and with such prep.
arstion as regards boats and material for
pontoon bridges that IL would have been
turned into an actual attack. had fair
chance of success offered. Even at the Rus"
sian headquarters It was uncertain until the
last moment which point would be chosen
for the real crossing-Simnitzs or Turna>
Magurelli.
WHERE THE RUSSIANS DIDN'T 60.
The appearance of the Gear at the latter
place induced concentration of the Turk
ish forces, and the Russian~ accordingly
made the real attack at Simnitzs. The Rms
sian forces were shrewdly masssd at Draga,
ten miles back from the Danube, and the
peighboring villages about equi distant from
Turna.M MagurelN and Simnitza, enabling
quick concentration upon whichever point
proved weakest.
OVER, WITH SPEED.
When, therefore, 1t was ascertained ffom
returned spies that the Turks hsd massed
opposite to Turna>Magurelli, the Eighth
corps, under Lieutenant General Radetski,
fell like thunderbo1t on siuuitza on We'd.
nesdsy morning, edscting . landing before
the Turks had time to recall their forces.
rLsoERrc LIGHT By THE RUSSIANS.
The muddy water. of the Danube threw
back dull, red light, while strong wind
carried of dense volumes of black smoke.

The Hamburg Butchers.

Washington Dispatch to New York Times
The South Carolina Democracy have had
representatives in this city for some time
who have been urging the President to in
struct the United States District Attorney
for that State to mol. pros. the cases now
pending against nearly 200 of the Palmetto
aristocracy, charged with numbering inof-
fensiye negroes at Ellenton and Hamburg
merely because they were Republicans and
persisted in supporting the nominees Of the
Cincinnati Convention. While these chiv-
alric Carolinians would fain invoke Execu-
tive clcmency for murders committed, they
persist in their unrelenting persecution Of
every prominent Republican in the State,
and declare their purpose to drive them into
the Penitentiary or beyond the linn
its of South Carolina. 1t appears that
they are basing the arrests now
being made there upon the unsupported
evidence Of eX-Gov. Moses, who has turned
States evidence, and upon the vouchers
found among the papers Of the ex-Treasu-
rer, Niles G. Parker. When it is remem-
bered how Parker was indicted and tried at
Columbia three years since for altering the
records of his office, in connection with 9TH
er frauds, it is surprising that any one
should be arraigned upon any such evidence
from his hands. There is no Disgusting the
fact that Hampton and his followers have
adopted the " driving out" policy to rid the
State of the Republican leaders. Knowing
mat tnc "snOt-gun" policy Will mJure the
Democracy il resorted to id next years cam
paign, they have adopted the easier plan of
convictfng Republican leaders upon trump
ed-up charges or driving them from the
State. II these trials were conducted ac-
cording to law, as in Northern communities,
it would not matter so much, but the fact
that every South Carolina jury is organized
purposely to convict Republicans, innocent
or guilty, makes it q matter of serious con-
Germ to all air-minded people.
John 3. Cochran, Chairman of the Demo-
cratic Investigating Committee Of the South
Carolina Legislature, which is now engaged
in the work Of prosecuting prominent Re.
publicans of that State, was notorious lob
byist during the administration Of Gov.
Scott, who has often been heard to declare
that, had it not been for the evil influences
OF Cochran and others associated with him,
he (Gov. Scott) would have been able to de-
feat much Of the jobbery practiced by the
Legislature during his administration.
Cochran not only championed all the big
jobs which were carried through the Legis-
lature at that time, but was the medium EN-
ployed for imposing worthless tracts Of land
owned by Democrats upon the notorious
Land Commission which was created BY the
Legislature to purchase lands for sale In
small farms among poor people. The fact
that this man Cochran is now employed by
the Democrats to prosecute Republicans
shows to what depths the Democrats Of South
Carolina have descended.

Tragedy on the Rail.

On the arrival of the Scotch mail at
Bedford yesterday morning, says the
London Standard, the attention of some
of the persons on the platform, as the
train was drawing up, was attracted by
the appearance of a third-class carriage.
Upon close examination being made a
very shocking spectacle presented itself.
On opening the door Of the compart-
ment two men were discovered covered
with blood, the features of one being
perfectly unacceptable. The floor and
seats of the carriage had the look of a
slaughter-house. The two men, when
the train stopped, were found in stand
ing position, tightly grasping one an
other, one appearing to be a gentleman
in a good position of life, being well dress
ed and wearing a considerable quantity
of jewelry; the other person was SO COW
cred with blood that his features could
not be distinguished, but seemed by his
clothing to belong to the artisan class.
The latter was found, upon the arrival
of the Doctor, to be dead. 1t appears
that the deceased man, who was being
conveyed to London by q Sheriff s
officer, under a warrant from the Lord
Provost of Glasgow, took out a razor
from his pocket and attempted to muir
der the officer by aiming blow at his
throat. The officer avoided the blow,
but received small cut on his ear and
left hand, and tried to take the razor
from his antagonist, who, finding his
efforts foiled, drew the razor across his
own throat, inflicting tremendous
cash and nearly sevcring the head from
the body. sa .-
An inquest was held on the body of
the deceased in the afternoon. The
statement of the other passenger, Chas.
Warrington Laing, master of the Glas-
Cow City Parish Poor-house, is that he
was conveying the deceased, Thomas
Donnelly, aged 40, baker by trade, to
the st. 1uke's Work house, in London,
where his settlement was. They en-
tered the train at Gals on Sunday night,
and deceased had his supper and smoked
and behaved nationally until the train
began to stop before reaching Bedford.
Here deceased was seen to take some
thing from his pocket, which Laing
thought was his pipe, but Immediately
afterwards, observing blood flowing
over deceased's breast, he sprang up
and caught hold of his hands. A strug-
gle then ensued, in which the deceased
succeeded in cutting the masters hand,
and made several cuts on the back of
his coat, but without doing further dam
age. Eventually the master obtained
possession of the weapon and threw it
out OF the window, and soon after the
train stopped. The master put the du- |
ration of the struggle at seven minutes,
but the medical testimony was that with |
such wound deceased must have died |
in about three minutes. Evidence was
given that deceased was subject to cpl
leptic fits, and the jury returned ver-
dict of suicide while in an unsound state |
of mind. He had expressed dissatis-
faction at his removal and was generally |

The Marriage Engagement Of the
President Of Harvard.

President Eliot's engagement says q
Boston letter to the San Francisco Post,
has made rather more sensation in
Cambridge than any similar annouce-
ment for ten years. Last winter he met
Miss Hopkinson, who is about fifteen
years his junior, at parties and private
theatricals, and was exceedingly well
pleased with her singing and acting,
and, in such a lordly way as President
of Harvard and member of the Beacon
Street aristocracy may, testified his ap-
proval thereof. He was frequently seen
at the lady's side on social occasions,
and at last wicked young Harvard be-
gan to wag its head and wink when
!" Prex" and Miss Hopkinson were men,
toned. The natives yOf Cambridge
were serenely confident that
there was nothing in it."
Was he not an Eliot, the son of a
historian of Harvard College? Did he
not count half of the mercantile blue
blood of Boston as his cousins? Was
not his first wife model of all the vir-
tues, graces and accomplishments, q
daughter of DR.. Peabody and sister of

~ any body, and was it reasonable, was
it right, to suppose that he would mar
ry Miss Hopkinsonp Nice girl, of
course; family nice people in their way,
but nobody that any body in Cambridge
ever heard of! Besides, it was said that
she had taught school, and not in q
high school either! The whole story
was preposterous! Young Harvard, I'M
talked on, and, soon after the
mutilated exercises of class-day were
over, a rumor crept abroad that Presi-
dent Eliot was engaged; and curious
matrons, who wanted to know all about
it, and pompous matrons, who felt that
the engagement would not be complete
without their ratification, called on Miss
and congratulated her. She
denied the whole story, whereupon it
flew faster, until some angelic meddler
wrote to President Eliot about it. He
was off on a yachting excursion, but as
soon as the letter reached him he
fastened back to Cambridge, trans
the falsehood into truth as quick
y as might be, had the engagement an
publicly, and gave the city
to talk about for six weeks.

A Valuable Soldier.

They have a model soldier among the
Light Guards. He believes in doing
duty right up to the handle. The other
night, at Columbus, he was put on
picket duty, with the usual instruction
to admit none but those who gave the
countersign. which for that night was
"Jack Robinson" .5tUti b.. I.
So our Light Guard determined that
no man should pass him without saying
the mystic words, "Jack Robinson. !"
He paced up and down his beat with
military precision, and sure enough
after awhile alongcame a belated Guard,
making his way back to camp. Down
came our picket to present arms, and in
stentorian tones he called out:
"Halt! Who goes there, friend or
f,e?" @ 49,
"Friend."
"Advance friend, and say Jack Rob-

A CURE for bashfulness is said to have
been discovered in the drug called cuca.
According to DR.. W. Tanner, what may
have been said, from time to time, about
the effects of cuca on the human sys-
tenn, this much is certain, that it causes
timid people, who are usually III at ease
in society, and particularly so before
strangers, to appear to good advantage
under these circumstances. In other
words it cures bashfulness. Its effects
on depression of spirits he says, are
what might be expected from o drug
whose action is "energ-giving and
ulness-curing." He has not seen
any corresponding mental or physical
depression attending It's after-elects.
