Saib Pasha's army has fallen back to North Al
bania. Montenegro is out of danger.
TIE RECENT SITUATION.
LONDON, July l, 1877.
Reports from Montenegro are conflicting, but
the best information leads to the belief that
the success of Sulieman and Sab Pashas
has been complete. The Turks place their entire
losses ut 1000 killed and wounded. which
probably is an under estimate, but hardly
so far out of the way the Montenegrins
claim of over 10000 Turks killed. The lighting
forces OF the MOntenegrins are now chiefly wedged
in between the Valley OF the Zeta and the Austrian
frontier, wills. Sulicman and Saib Pashas are await
ing the advance of Mehemet Ali along the Moratsha
to clear the eastern portion of the country and in
tercept fight either across the Valley of the Zcta to
tie Princes headquarters or down the Moratsha into
the kutSchl Mountains.
A telegram via Ragusa from Sclavonlc sources

Bayazid enters the AraXes valley. He has likewise
taken steps to defend Deveholmn, a position IN
front of Erzeroum, in case he is driven from hS
other strongbolds just rs Montenegro WAS in
danger of being crushed, there comes news
that Sail Pasha has fallen back to North

needed. On Saturday the Russians were still cross

that there are 10000 of them in BULGARIA
and that a battle is imminent at beha'

Tic total vote cast iu these 5tatcs was about
threo and thsce-quarttr milliona-that ia to say.
sou,ethiu4 over u half Of tho voters ofthc nation
have been invited to declare their political
preferences. In not a'i OF thesn States, however,
wero the elections Of character to havo value
IN the eyes OF tho student anxious to derive
some positive information from tho facts and
figures presented. Fur instance, in California
tho State vote was on the non-parttsan PROPOSE
tion to call Constitutional Convention. though
tho elections for tho Legislature gave decided
Dctuocrastc victory, aud tnsured the return Of a
Democratic Senator In tho room Of hlr. SARGENT,
This resuIt was, however, largely duu to the llo-
publican revolt aRslnst the San Francfsro ring.
In Colorado tho onlY candidate voted for WIS
on both tickets, and thcro was no party line
dsawn on tho question OF female suffrage. In
Connecticut, party matters did not enter into
tho discussion Of the constitutional amendments
submitted, but the Republicans tnadc gains
in the Legislature, aal on tho aggscgated veto
for Sheztlrs had majority In tho State. In
Georgia tho Vutlng wns on propositions affecting
a 8tate Constitutional Convention. In Illinois
on tho Gtats-IIouao appropriation. These avc
9tates, therefore, we omit from our general
tables, ~ for quite other but still sufficient
reasons Ha omit four others. These are Mime.
sota, bfississippI, Virginia, md West Virginia.
Though Minnesota gayc a wholesome majority
for tic Republican ticket, no complete raturus
arc up to the time Of writing available. In
Mississippi and Virginia there have been no rc-
turua,-thera wss no necessity for any returns,
the Democratic nominees having had "walk-
oves." In West Virginia tho vote was on q
proposition Affecting tho location OF tho State
Capital.
There remain, therefore, afseen etatcs whcEo
fair, stand-up fights took place, and almost ali
OF tleso were important States. Tho llat in-
cludes tho great States Of Massachusetts, New
York. Ohio, and Pennsylvania, and among those
which are closely balanced or susceptible to tho
slightest vibration Of the political needle are
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New dorsey,
New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, aud Wisconsin.
Wa have, thus, very fair corpus Of Statistics to
work upon. True, there are soma minor
discrepancies which will slightly Affect tho
tables, but In TIM long run these will about
countetbalance each other. For instance, If Ia
Iowa 08AR'a scratching By the PEohIhltloniat
Republicans cuts down the Republican strength.
