lzss- The war between Russia and Turkey pro-
crosses slowly. The Russians, after crossing the
Danube, have not gone forward so rapidly as was
supposed they would. There has been some Sc
we're fighting and heavy losses on both Sides but
no decisive battles yet and none anticipated for
some weeks to come. The Turks are evidently
showing weakness and disposition to fall back
before the Russian forces. The belief is Russias
ultimate determination is to invest Constantine
pie. When such a crisis comes then we may ex-
peet to learn of England's determination, as also
the purposes of France, Austria and Germany.
No indications yet of peace propositions beyond
vague rumors. The war news altogether is in
definite

Gs1~The true inwardness of the TowsOntOwn
scandal has not all come to the surface yet by a
good deal. The baltimore County Union puts the
following neat conundrum:
eff the Court intended to adjourn for the term
on Saturday why were number of cases set for
trial this week? We have heard this question ask
ed score or more of times within the past week."
1t is understood that Gen. Berry says that if so
many distractions had not been put in the way of
the Grand Jury in the matter of the attendance of
witnesses and the appearance of papers they would
have brought their investigations to point before
the day of the Courts adjournment. We have
heard it stated, we do not know how truly, that
persons detected attempting to overhcar
tain testimony given before the Grand Inquest,
and this was repeated so significantly that the
Grand Jury was forced to take extra precautions
to prevent its secrets from being exposed.-Balti-
more Erening Bulletin, I'll inst.
1t is positively known that certain gentleman
was caught with his ear to the key-hole of door
leading into the Grand Jury room and that the
Jury ordered the room closed on that account

Treasurer Of Baltimore County.

Messrs. Editors baltimore San Approaching
the services of an honest man. the people of Bal
timore county, judging from present indications,
are inclined to honor STEPHEN BARTON, their
present Sheriff, with an additional evidence of
their confidence in his ability and integrity as
public servant by transferring him from the Office
of Sheriff at the ensuing election to the response
BILE position of County Treasurer. This is step
in the right direction, and strictly in keeping with
the principles of reform because man who has
the moral courage to frown down and reform abuses
of twenty years growth, which in degree were
just oppressive to the people of BALTIC. CO., as
were the frauds to the taxpayers of New York prac
ticed by the ring with which they cursed dur
ing the reign of Tweed, is just the kind of man to
protect the vaults of our County Treasury.

LEGISLATIVE NOMINATIONS IN THE CITY.-A con-
vention was held in Baltimore on Wednesday, June
9th, to nominate candidates for the Legislature,
the primaries having been held the day previous,
upon which occasion ballot box stufing, pudding
tickets" &C., brought largely into by the
vrtuous Democracy to beat each other. Some of
the nominations are good, notably those of IsdOr
Raynor, Esq, rising young lawyer, John f.
Wiley, ESQ.,, Sheriff S. Sands Mills, Hon. Robert
NJ. McLane, and two or three others, but great
majority of them are worse than bad. The Eren-
ing Bulletin, whose authority (Democratc) may be
considered No. l. in addressing itself to the sub
ject says:
"0f the ticket nominated we shall hereafter have
reason probably to speak in detail, and with some
plainness. We shall only say, at present, that it
surpasses our worst anticipation, expressed yes
terday, and in previous articles upon the subject.
= - Some the best candidates for the House
of Delegates were defeated.
"The general character of the delegate ticket
only shows what the system of nomination by
wards has brought us to- As to the primaries
themselves, as at present conducted, they are SIM
ply stencil in the nOstrils of decent people An
election at which the forms only of an election
observed, and where there is no law to prevent or
punish any KIM OF degree OF Irauu on Tue part vi
either voters, judges clerks, is simply unlim-
tied invitation to the commission of fraud. All
that the law undertakes to do-all that the police
required or authorized to dds to preserve
order and prevent the public peace from being dis
turbed Provided you can cheat without ghtng,
you can cheat much and often you can.
This fact is generally recognized that in the Sc
lection of judges and clerks the aim of the Oppo-
sing factions candidates is usually to not
the services of the best men in the ward whose
personal character would be guaranty of fair
ness, but of the most skillful adopts that can be
found in all the arts and tricks of repeating, bal
lOt-box stufing and voting pudding tickets. :
Your respectable citizen is absolutely of account
judge Of election, at least at a primary He
can be cheated to death before his very eyes, and
without suspecting it, made himself the innocent
medium for depositing any number of pudding
tickets and slippers in the box Where there are
two or three candidates the best guaranty of fair
ness is supposed to be to have as many experts
sitting around the box in the capacity of judges,
to watch each other, on the same principle that
you set a thief to catch a thief The only draw
back to the efficiency of this arrangement is when
one side privately buys up all the judges, and the
unfortunate opposing candidate is given away by
the judge of his own selection. How such a sys-
TEN can any longer be tolerated by any party, or
by the decent men of any party, is a mystery"

lfs-T The tone of Democratic newspapers in the
South just now is very friendly towards the ne
groes, with proviso. For instance, the Charles
ton Is. CO. Ne~s and Courier says:
"The Democrats of Charleston are the friends of
the colored people, and will be as long they will
let them. The Democrats wish to give the cOlored
people, as friends, good school system, fair
share of the offices, and an equal opportunity in
making a living, and the Democrats secure
these things to the colored people. But, and it is
big "but," if the colored people will always vote
against the Democrats, why, then, the cOlored peO
pie must take care of themselves

JEs~COmpetent Treasury authority estimates
that the total amount of gold and silver in the
United States at the present time is $225O0O 900,
an increase during the fiscal year of $4,000 900.
The exports and imports Of gold and silver have
been equal during the year; and as the balance
of trade is becoming more pronounced in favor of
the United States, it is believed that the accumu-
latiOn of specie in this country will continue at
more rapid rate than heretofore, so that when the
time of resumption comes round there will be an
abundance of the precious metals available.
