Capt. Warren S. Lurty.

The United States Attorney for the West
ern District of Virginia, Capt. Warren s,
Lursy, will doubtless be re-appointed to the
position he has for the last four years filled
so creditabl, to himself and faithfully to the
Government. Comparatively young man,
with fac natural capacities, he has made a
record for industry, efficiency and success,
rarely equalied in the professional career OF
older lawyers. His administration Of bis of,
flee has been generally acceptable to aid who
have interests in the Courts where he repre-
sents the Government. Courteous in man
ners, earnest and sincere in his prosecution,
where the interests of the government de-
mand it, yet lie always leans to the side of
kindness and mercy, when he can do so
consistent with the obligation of his oath of
office. No young man sustains a more en-
viable reputation, aRd no one is governed
by higher sense of professional and per-
sonsl responsibility. We are sr=e we but
reflect the public sentiment Of the District
when we state that his re-appointment
you'd be in the interest of the government,
Ind generally acceptable to the profession
,racticing in the u. s. Courts. rt1a

The Eastern War.

Late dispatches from Erzeroum report i'm
troops in Asia Minor. The vanguard of their
right wing has appeared before Olti. from
which place the Turks were retreatng. The
Russian centre was also approaching Sog-
haulu. Mukhtar Pasha's position is thus
rendered entirely untenable, and he is again
obliged to fall back upon Erzeroum. Kars is
reported to be now completely invested. De-
spatches both from Tifiis and Erzeroum tell
of the total defeat by the Russians of body
of four thousand Circassian cavalry under
Moussa Pasha, near Kars. The account is
confirmed by special in the London Tele
graph from Erzerouna. which deplores it as
1.-THE most terrible event OF the war; A des-
patch from Erzer0um in the Standard says
that preparations are in progress there for
the defence of the place. A despatch from
Bucharest announces the arrival in that city
OF the Gar, the Czarowitch and the Grand
Duke Vlr dimir. Their reception seems to
have been rather quiet. London kilograms
announce that the Russians are at last in
their chief positions ON the Danube, their
lines extending from Galatz to Calafat, but
it Is not believed even now that they can
take their army across for the next three
weeks, or that they can be at close quarters.
with the Turkish armies before the LIST of
July. There appears to be wide difference
of opinion between the Ministerial journals
OF Vienna and Pesth in regard to the still
persistent rumors OF peace negotiations. The
first looks upon them only as idle dreams,
while the Pesther Lloyds declares that they
are well founded.

II the several Valley papers that have
spoken lightly of Gen. Malone, and sought
TO create the impression that he had no
nnends west of the Blue Ridge, had the
-sassacity to understand the people and the
acquaintance to justify such conclusion,
'the Importance that has been given to their
'iltteranees by the anti-Mahone papers in the
East would be excusable. We state what
I'VE know-that Malone has friends In the
valley, and influential ones at that, and that
VIII be known before the contest is over.
we have no fancy for Malone as politi-
clan, except for his dash aud self-reIiance,
But if his enemies console themselves with
the assurance that he will have no following
IN the Valley, they will find tteaaseiges very
much mistaken. 5is -

"CouFtship and Marriage in France" is an
attempt to trace the development of a typ

our parts.
just now Dayton is in high expectation OF
nice treat at the close of the present term

The programme, as we gather it, will be a
literary entertainment, by members of the
school. on the evenings of June II and 10.
On June IA, Rev. j. d. Holt. will deliver u
lecture which we have no doubt will interest
alike the school and the public.
Great Credits due the students for the faith
full manner in which they have applied them
selves. and success has thus far crowned
their effort. More orderly, industrious stu
dents, both ladies and gentlemen, will be
found nowhere. Heretofore Dayton las
been noted for its do-less-ness, now change
is being made. We shall miss this school
during vacation and anxiously await its re-
turn. But before the students go they will
entertain us pleasantly we are sure on June
II, 10, IA.

Gen. Grant.

The reception that has been accorded by
the English nation to Gen. Grant, is source
of qualification to the American people, ire
spective of party. 1t is, too, in wide con-
'trast to the housing ambition in his own
country, which would undermine his great
reputation, and detract from the fame justly
his by reason of deeds in war and peace.
He will stand out in history as one of the
great characters Of the world, and whatever
of honor may be paid MIN by the most en-
lightened nation OH the globe, will reflect
honor upon the country of his nativity,
which has heaped upon him its highest dis
tinctions.
No man has been followed out Of office
with more malicious spirit of partizan in
justice than Gen. Grant, from many of his
political opponents; yet fast following upon
these comes the demonstrations from En-
gland in respect to his eminent character
and achievements, such as has never before
been given to any other than crowned
head, and not even then with the earnest
enthusiasm that has marked his progress
through the British Isle. Probably more
fitting rebuke to tile tongue Of Islander and
detraetion at home may hereafter come
from the American people, when again
called upon to choose the Chief Executive
OF the Nation.
