DESPERATE FIGHTING.

LONDON, July 4.-The Times says
1.-TWO things are beyond doubt-that
the fighting has been Of terrible de.
scription and attended with great car.
mage, both on the Danube aud in Asia
Minor. The Turkish forces have oh,
tanned such important victories in
Asia that the Russian journals are
accusing their generals of having
managed the campaign there badly
1t further says: at is reported that
THE BULGARIANs MASSACRE THE TURKS
as savagely and wantonly as the
Bashi-bazouks mutilate the ltussians.' y
Within forty-eight hours the Rus
SLAMS will have met with great check
on the Danube or they will have
MADE A TREMENDOUS ADVANCE.
The Turkish plan Of the campaign,
if there is one, has not yet become
apparent, but it is either an exceed
ingly weak one or one that will dis
close startling surprises yet to come.
The Turks have not the men On the
line of the Danube that the Russians
have.
PANIC AND DISTRESS IN CONsTANTl-
NoPLE.
1t is reported that the panic and
distress are SO great in Constantine
nile that it is becoming dangerous to
foreign residents.
The Turks are evidently determin-
ed to meet their enemies between
Rustchuk and Schumla. All civilians
were on Sunday ordered to leave
Rustchuk, and most of them have
reached Schumla. In addition
to the above, the Heralds correspon-
dent at Schumla also telegraphs that
this order seems to indicate the de-
termination of the Turks to abandon
Rustchuk in the event of the Rus
SLAMS passing tho Danube between
that point and Sillistria.
A Vienna correspondent says the
taking of Tirnova, which has not yet
been officially announced, turns out
to be true. This is important, as from
Tirnova radiate several roads across
the Balkans. The conflicting rumors
hitherto current may be recOnciled
by the supposition that the Russian
attack on the bridge over the Jantra,
at Biela, which was repulsed, was
merely feint to mask the advance
on Tirnova.

NOW ls TINS.

Postmaster Bowling, of Toledo,
Ohio, is in the middle of term. At
least his commission has sometime
yet to run. Bowling is an cx-soldier
of the Union, who was faithful as
such. So far as doth yet appear, he has
been an honest and capable postmas-
ter. On Monday, the I'd inst.,. one
Alexander Reed, editor of the Toledo
Commercial, presented a telegram to
Bowling, from the authorities at
Washington, asking Bowling to sur
render the postofiice to Reed, as he
had been appointed P. M. Bowling
declined to deliver up the Office on
this telegraphic authority. All this
the telegraph and the press gives us
of this matter, and much more. We
are not disposed to give full credence
to all the press has to say, as it is
often mistaken on such occasions.
Hasty reports in these matters are
liable to be full of errors. We will
content ourselves with simply saying
that if it be true that Dowling's COM
mission has sometime yet to run, then
there is no escape for the Admins
tration but to show cause for his re-
moval-that is. that the good of the
service called for it on account of the
inefiiciency or wrong doing of Mr..
Bowling. It will not do to simply
turn Bowling out; the country will
want to know, and ought to know
what for. One of the very best fea-
lures of any civil service rules that
can ever be devised is, that no Presi-
dent, no Cabinet officer, no member
of Congress or anybody else shall
ever cut short the term of any officer,
unless it be for good cause, and that
cause to consist in the failure of the
officer to perform well his duties and
maintain good and honorable name.

THE CARS PROCLAMATION.

VIENNA, July 5.-The Cars proc.
lamation to the Bulgarians has pro-
duced little impression in official cir.
cles here and it is not at all likely
that the British Cabinet has officially
informed the various Cabinets that
her fleet was sent to Besika Bay for
the protection of British interests and
Christians in Turkey.
The enthusiasm of the Russian
troops Is very great. The cavalry
marches several kilometers in advance
of the infantry. As the Turks have
no proportlonate amount of cavalry
to meet them, the Russians are scour-
ing the country up to the foot of Bal
kans. The Turkish outposts are at
Pautia, which is their present advanc-
ed line centre. Their army is near
Rasgrad, the right covering Rutschuk
the left stretching towards Shumla.
It Is reported that only 1900 men
are left at Silestria. The first great
battle in Bulgaria will probably be
fought on the advance line, if the
Turks give battle in the open field
north of Balkans. IT isprobable that
there will be little of interest from
the front until q new disposition Of
of troops by both belligerents is
made necessary by the Russians ad-
vance on pQbrudscha and operations
near siminitSa are completed. The
Russians have had several skirmishes
with the Turkish outposts on the
Jautia.
A Vienna dispatch says: Gen. Tur-
gukasoff is now retiring via Tagis-

The Fireworks and Fire Cracker
Nuisance.

The FireWorks-a and Fire Cracker
Nuisance.
On the 4th inst. fire crackers and
fireworks caused twenty thousand
dollar fire at Decorah, Iowa; killed a
man and dangerously wounded sever
al other persons at Fairfield; came
very near causing a terrible accident
here, and has filled our exchanges
with accounts of accidents from all
parts of the country.
All day during the celebration here,
halt-grown ruffians from town and
country were throwing fire crackers
into crowds, among women and chill
dren, and at night these vagabonds
took ticndish delight in throwing and
shooting their fire-crackers into wag-
ons and carriages, and in several in
stances coming to orr attention, caus-
ed injury TO the occupants.
The fireworks business, from be.
ginning to end, is an unmixed nui-
sance, frequently causing loss of
life and property, and it should be
at once abated.
1t is long time till next March
when we elect our City Council, but
we do hope that the people will then
see to electing council which will
prohibit the buying, selling or firing
Of any species of fireworks within
the city limits; provided the present
City Council cannot be induced to
pass such an ordinance in the mean
time.
We do not wish to be understood
as rejecting on the Boulton Brothers,
OF this city, our principal dealers in
this dangerous and incendiary stun,
because ii is to them and their care.
that the accident of Fairfield was
perhaps averted here, and the success
of the celebration was largely due
to them.
Their display of ornamental pieces
was the finest ever witnessed here.
But there is so much annoyance and
danger about the whole custom that
t would be more honored in the
breach than in the observance. And
in this opinion we believe the dealers
and most of our citizens will concur.
