ING TO YOUNG MEN. 9 19.l
PHILADELPHIA, June 9. Hon. Wayne
MACY eagh furnished the following letter
In reply to Gen. Butler to the Press this
evening "'i is- ~ lT7
philadelphia, June 6.--Gen. b. f..
Butler, Washington, D. c.: L fear you
have overworked your inventive faculties
for your long and labored letter of to day
shows signs of failing power, and will 90
far to destroy that reputation for effective
security which you have SO sedulously
fostered. The issue between YOU and
me was Of your own seeking, and it is so
plain that you cannot obscure. it by anv
amount of misrepresentation, however
Irrelevant or vulgar. You deliberately
wrote and published concerning me some
sheer falsehOods, without particle of
foundation for any of them. Thereupon
l promptly put you on the national pill
lory with very legible statement of your
ohenses upon your forehead.
As you have endured your punishment
Tor an entire week, and now virtually
confess that every statement made by YOU
was untrue, have no objections to your
getting down, but you must not suppose
That L placed you there in resentment
only. My chief purpose was to exhibit
you as a warning to younger men, by
showing them that in spite of great abili-
ity aud energy you had become the leper
of our politics by reason of the general
conviction that you habitually disregard
the eighth and ninth commandments,
That purpose has been fully answered by
the comments of the country upon your
character, and have no further interest
in the matter. will not even take the
trouble to deny any new falsehood you
may think 1t to your advantage to invent
about me, for those who know me will
not believe anything you say against me,
and those who know you, of course, will
not believe anything you say against
anybody. WAYNE MACVEAGH.

from " eakness of sight was recently led
by the advice OF well-meaning friends

The Turkish Armies.

From an officer of rank belonging to
distinguished corps in Western Europe,
who has recently visited the Turkish lines
along the Danube, learn that the Turks
have the following corps on the line of the
Danube and The road from Rustchuk to
Varna: At Widdin, 10000 men; at Rust
chuk, $4,000; at Silistria, 10000; and at
Shumia, As, 000-making, with scattered
detachments, about 100000 men of all
arms available for the defense of the Dan
ube and the Balkans
He says that, from information gathered
along the Turkish lines, he estimates the
total effective force that Turkey can bring
into action along her whole frontier in
Europe and Asia, at 300, 600 men, which
comedies with their estimated effective
force telegraphed you several days ago
from this place. This total may be di-
vided as follows: For the Danube and the
Balkans, 100000 men; for Asia Minor.
80, 900; on the Greek frontier, 10000; the
remaining sc, 900 being scattered around
the frontiers of Servia, Austria and Mon
tenegro.
In addition to this, they have, no doubt,
an indefinite number of irregulars, who

go to sustain the really efficient troops,
arousing hatred and discomfort among the
resident populations by their lawlessness
and utter worthlessness in action, invaria-
bly, running away at the first fire.. My in
formant states that the private soldiers APP
peared to be of good material, but the
most fortunate of them had five months
arrears Of pay due, and large proportion
of the officers appeared to be compare
lively worthless.
This officer is of opinion that Widdin
presents the most favorable point for the
Russians to cross the Danube, as from the
heights Of Kalafat. on the Roumanian side
of the river, they can command the Turk
ish bank Of the stream and protect the
crossing by their artillery London Times
