The fighting in Europe it is said is now
about to be commenced in earnest. Rms.

to the intercept item before all have sue.
c9eded in crossing,
The daily gazette., 1877-06-28

The march Of the Russian army over
the Danube has not been resisted at any
Of the three points of crossing. The corps
which crossed at GalatZ on Saturday has
established itself on the left bank of the
;river without molestation; the corps which
crossed al Ibraila, seized the position
which the Turks evacuated at Matchin:
and now we learn with surprise that the
Turks have evacuated Hirsoya, fifty miles
| above lbraila, and that the Russians have
crossed and seized it. The Russian forces
at these three points are doubtless in
| communication with each other by this
time. Thus they can cooperate to resist
attack, and can receive reintOrcements
from the other side, over the bridges
which they hold at both ends. The next
point to he seized is Tchernavoda, which,
we presume, the Turks will defend, as
| it is the Danubian terminus of the rail-
way which runs TO Kostendje, IN the
Black Sea.
There were but small bodies of turk
ish troops in that part of the Dobrudscha
| which the Russians have entered; and
| the Turkish commanders never had any
| intention of making a serious defence Of
that region. They have concentrated
| their forces at those places where the
main body of The Russian army is eX-
| pected to cross, and where the strong de-
fences of the Danube are situated-at
Nicopoli, Rustchuk, Silistria, and Tcher-
navoda. The work of the Russians will
begin in earnest when they attempt to
attack either of these points. 1he first
defensive line of the Turks is the Danube
and the second is the Balkan Mountains;
but great battles must yet be fought be-
fore the first line is in possession ofthe
enemy

The Committee on Privileges and Elections conclude
their report on the credentials Of Messrs Kellogg and

Senators Patterson and COuoyer cannot desert
him. They have gone too far for that ard may be
said to have burned their bridges behind tIem But
he has DO such mortgage on the vote Of Senator
David Davis. who has not only been very care
ful not to express any opinion IN pubhc
ON the merits Of the contest between Messrs.
Butler and Corbn but has several times reminded
Senators who were speaking as though he was COM
mitted to one side or the other that no one had a
rght to say how he would vote. 1t Is true that the
Democratic side of Senator Davis has apparently
been heavier during the last week, than the Repub-
can side; but no one can tell how long 1t may re-
main So and a change at any stage Of the proceed
ings might upset everybody plans and cause some
genuine SURPRISES.
The state Of uncertainty in which the case is left
by Judge Dayis's independence. is intensified to-
night by his remark To Republican Senators that he
intends to make a speech on the merits Of the con-
troversy tomorrow. Some of those who
have conversed with him. are very confident
that he does not expect 10 vote for Butler admission
after all. His thus far they say has been the
result Of his CONVECTION, IN which some o.! the hepuD-
Hcans shared week ago, that there ought % be no
further delay in deciding tie southern contests
