Since the passage of the law three or four
years ago providing for the punishment of
persons sending Indecent or scurrilous postal
cards through the mails, q number OF con-
vlctions have been secured by the courts.
The law as embodied in the Revised Statutes
provides that any person sending q postal
card on which is written or printed indecent
or scurrilous epithets, shall be deemed guilty
OF q misdemeanor, and, on conviction, shall
De lined not less than 800, nor more than
$500, or be imprisoned at hard labor no.
less than one year nor more than ten years,
or DOTH III remained fo- q Washington law
yer TO make the discovery the other day that
this law was amended July u, 1876, by an
act which provides only for the punish
ment OF persons sending Indecent" matter
through the mails. Nothing is said in re-
gard to "scurrilOus" matter in the later act,
so that 1t is plain that no special postal act
exists for Furnishing those who utter cards of
this description. Fortunately, however, the
laws relating to libel in the different states
can be Invoked TO bring Offenders of the
class In question TO justice.

There is an appositeness in the suggestion
that the President allow the New York
chamber of commerce 10 select the chief
custom house officers for that port. The
chamber of commerce is a large and infiu-
entail body and is interested in having
honest and efficient officers. But then what
would the politicians say?

1t is the Russian performances in Asia
Minor that no doubt trouble John Bull.
The public assurance of the Muscovite
commander-in.chief, that the cars OBJ
ject is not conquest, makes very little
impression. Perhaps it only irritates
England and the more because all czars
and all Russian commanders have told
that touching falsehOod 30 often. Mr..
Gladstone believes it, of course. In his
resolutions he does not even venture to
regret the presence of the Muscovites in
their neighbor's territory. If the car
announced that there was no truth in
the assertion that his troops had crossed
the Pruth, Mr.. Gladstone would believe
it. His hatred of Lord Baconsfeld and
the Turks is so great that it blinds him
to everything else, though the utter fail

have been driven already to their last
resources: and they have proved to be in
sufficient. The total loss it is not easy
to estimate. We hear of villages of five
hundred families with three hundred re-
ported as dead from starvation. This,
or something like it appears to be the
actual condition of some 5000 villages,
and there are others besides in which the
pressure is less extreme, but still terribly
severe. The numbers of the dead, it il
clear, must be already reckoned by mil

RUSSIAN TORPEDO-BO4Ty.

The Turkish squadron On the river
Danube is under the command of Kirit-
lee Mustapha Pasha, and consists of some
seven armed gunboats and few small
wooden vessels armed with light guns.
The iron-clad gunboats are all about one
hundred and fifteen feet in length, carry
guns (eight-pounders) in battery placed
on the forepart of the deck. and are pro-
tected with twO-inch armor. The re-
naming two are of very superior con-
struction, carrying their two guns go.
FOUNDER krupps) in a turret placed for
ward. They were built at Constant
nople Nothing is known as to whether
the Roumanian authorities have con.
nived at the placing of torpedoes in the
river on the part of the Russians, though
doubtless the latter will have thought of
it, The Turks at one time thought of
having recourse to these weapons, and
placing them at every point on the Dan
ube at all suitable for crossing, but there
is reason to believe the idea has been
abandoned. However, the difficulty of
crossing the river, owing to these gun
boats, has not been underestimated by
the Russian government, and, with a
view of paralyzing their action, and pro-
.ecting the operations for throwing over
a bridge, a number of small torpedo
boats have been added to the equipment
of the invading army. These boats are
steam launches about thirty feet long
constructed, with the exception of one,
which is of steel, OF thin lion plating.
They are fitted with engines of eight
horse power, and possess great speed.
Being speedily built with a view TO tran
sport by rail, they are exceedingly light
for their size, and do not weigh, with
their engines and fittings all complete,
more than three and One-half tons.
They will probably be fitted with the
spear torpedo, and their crews will trust
to their speed to carry them alongside
an enemy's gunboat, and away from it
again, before the Turks will have suffi-
GENTLY recovered their presence of mind
to point gun correctly, or even fire one.
As protection against rifle fire, these
boats carry shields at each end, but
there is nothing to prevent their being
sunk by the fire of great gun. Well
Unanswered, under the command of
told and enterprising officers, these
launches must become very dangerous to
the Turks, and, in any case, are likely to
prove valuable auxiliary force, as they
may be used among other purposes for
carrying over the advance guard. Once
at the river, the Russian army will be
delayed until the bridge is constructed
for the passage of the main body. Ma
terials for bridge have been collected
in abundance at the town of Ismail, on
the Killa branch of the Della, and in
clude both pontoons and boats as we'll as
the necessary timber.-N Y Times.

A ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS prisoner es-
capped in this way: "He took a large
beer key, knocked out one of the head

who saw the key in the water had no
idea that there was man under it,"
