Fresh VigOr In the War.

The Russians have set about the task
of retrieving their misfortune at Plevna
with an alacrity that promises good re-
suits. Schackoskoy and Krudener have
re-occupied the positions they held before
the battle, and four Russian corps are re-
ported on their way to Slstova TO assist the
army in Bulgaria. As it would be very
dangerous to depend wholly upon the
timely arrival of these reserves, the modi-
fications of the Russian plan OF campaign
are no more than prudent; but it does not
appear that the changes will be as radical
as in the first moments of the Plevna de-
feat were predicted. As we have already
had occasion to say, an army oil upward
of quarter of million men could not De
whipped Ly battle that put seven thous-
and men hors de combat and we must
recognize, therefore, that the fighting at
Plevna, though not to be inconsiderately
regarded as of slight consequence, should
not be exaggerated to such point as to
be deemed catastrophe from which the
Russians cannot recover. 1t will not
drive them out of Bulgaria, but it will
teach them, probably that they are not to
carry all things before them by an enthu-
siastic rush. This is not bad lesson for
princely commanders to learn at the out
set. Accustomed to have thing. done as
they order, reverse which gives them
pause will, in the end, be productive Of
much good, and prevent a good deal Of
the heroics of military vanity. The re.
tirement of General Gourkha to the Ship
ka Pass is confirmed, and he will doubt
less be able to hold it and send large
contingent of his men to keep open the
Russian lines of communication in Bull
garia and keep Mehemet Ali east OF the
Jantra until the new Russian forces have
dealt once more with the Osman Pacha,
The victor of Plevna.
In Asia Minor the Russians, with force
Of ninety thousand men, have begun to
advance again and this time on less ex-
tended lines. The Turkish right is falling
back in the direction of kars. aud we may

State Convention.

The republican State convention will be
held at Granite Hall to-day. Appearances
indicate that the attendance will not be
very large. The sentiment is entirely in
favor of the denomination of Governor
Conner. Upon the platform to be adopt
ed there is some difference of opinion, but
wisdom and harmony promise to prevail
in the action of the convention.

From the Oxford Democra
The State Convention.

The Republican State Convention is to
be held at Augusta, next Thursday. 1t
will be meeting of more than usual in
terest this year, though there will be no
Governor Conner has been very fortunate
in his appointments. and every act Of the
State administration has been marked by
an earnest effort to benefit the whole peo-
pie. Judicious, successful and popular
are the adjectives which are applicable to
the conduct of affairs during the past two
years. There has been but little fault
found even by the opposition party, which
fact is certainly an indication that we are
living in a we'll governed State. If it were
contrary to party usage it would be an act
Of wisdom to retain the services of so sue
cessful magistrate.
The platform and resolutions are likely
to elicit some discussion and excite some
interest. Republican conventions in the
West are calling for more greenbacks,
and resolving that the double standard
should be re-established. These financial
heresies have gained some foot-hold in
this State but it is doubtful if any attempt
will be made to commit the party to their
support. New England is sound and hon.
est, and it will be many long year bar
fore she is persuaded to take one step to-
ka e
interest which is likely to come before the
convention is that of endorsing the Ma
tional administration. There is a great
diversity OF opinion upon this question.
While there are few who doubt the hon
esty of President Hayes or the purity OF
motives by which he is actuated, there is
still widespread distrust of the course
he has taken. There has been no effort
made by those who oppose or by those
who endorse the administration TO secure
a majority in the convention; therefore its
action may be taken as good indication
oil the spirit OF the majority of the party.
II would be the part of wisdom to ignore
the matter entirely, while this diversity Of
opinion exists. 1t Is not an issue which
can take definite form at present. If the
Southern policy proves a success the party
will unite to sustain it; if not, it will be
the duty of all republicans to unite and
oppose it. 1t is certainly a novel political
experiment, and the less there is said con-
corning it till 1t has worked itself clear,
the better.
