losses by the Strike Oh the Five
Trunk Lines.

Taking as a basis the cost to
the railroads, resulting from a
suspension Of traffic, an average
of $4,000 per day to each Of the
five, makes the total Of 100000;
add $4,000 as a low calculation
for the losses by Interruptions Of
other roads, and the total is $3.50,
600 per day, or 100000 for the
five days suspension. The lcsses
sustained by the Pennsylvania at
Pittsburg, and on the line be
tween that city and Harrisburg,
are calculated at $10,00O,000.
Half Of that amount would
scarcely cover the cost Of proper
ty destroyed on the Baltimore
and Ohio, and IS likely that $40,
100000 would approximate the
losses to railroad porperty other
than those which have been emu
merated. This makes a total loss
of 26. 100000.

TIE MAINE REPUBLICANS.

The Republican State Con
vention of Maine met at Augusta
last Friday. Seldom Bonner was
nominated for Governor by ac-
clamation.
The resolutions do not assault
the Administration. The fourth
is as follows: The most kindly
and fracternal relations should
be entertained between all sec
tons Of our common country,
and peace, good will, quiet and
harmony have always been most
cordially desired and labored for
by the Republicans of Maine.
They believe these great IDS
can be secured only by the
freest exercise of political opin,
ions and the most unrestrained
liberty Of party organic alton.
They view, therefore,, with solicit
tude and alarm the complete CON
solidation ofall political power in
the sixteen Southern States in
the hands of those who precipita
ted the rebellion. While white
Union men are prosecuted into
silence of Punishment, the entire
cOlored race is so practically dis
franchised by force and fear that
in Congressional Districts where
they have more than two-thirds
of the voters they are unable to
elect one Of their own~race or a
white man in sympathy with their
interests. The thirty-fve Repre-.
sentatives in Congress and thirty
five Electoral votes apportione ed
to the Southern States by reason
of their colored population are
thus invested to the sole aggran-
dizement Of Confederate power
in the National Government, and
late rebel soldiers in Georgia,
South Carolina, Mississippi and
Louisiana are thus enabled to eX-
ert in the administration of the
Government more than double
the power of the Union soldiersin
any Northern State.

blaine and EsutIer.

A Washington special to the
Baltimore Sun says Mr.. Blaine
in a letter to a friend at Washing
ton, expresses apprehension that
the Southern policy Of President
Hayes will be lost sight of in the
agitation of the labor troubles.
He conveys the impression that
while he will endeavor to keep
on top in the agitation Of the la
Dor question, he will take care
not to abandon his line Of action
on the Southern question.
Buffers intentions are to make
the Southern question secondary
to that Of the workingmen's,
whose champion he proposes to
be.

Another fight with the Indi-
nnG.

A special from Deer Lodge
Montana of the 18th says: w. H.
Edwards has just arrived from
Big Hole bringing accounts Of a
terrible battle between Gen. Glib
bon's command and the Nez Per
ces on the Big Hole river, Au-
gust 9th. Gibbons command,
consisting Of 1872 men, II officers,
1873 regulars and 30 citizens vol
unteers crossed over from Ross
Hole on Wednesday. Starting at
eleven O'Clock, the same night
they moved down with all of the
troops-with the exception Of a
few left to guard the transporta-
tion-to a few miles above, close
to the Indian camp which was on
Big Hole, about three miles be-
low where the Bitter Root and
Bannock trail crosses. AT day
light the fight was opened by
the volunteers firing on an Indi-
an going after the horses. The
charge was then made on the
camp, and some hard fighting
took place in the next two hours,
during which time large numbers
of men and Indians were killed.
The soldiers then charged the
lodges. but were repulsed. The
Indians then attempted to cut
the soldiers OF from a high wood
ed point, but the latter charged,
beating back the Indian advance
from the point which they held,
and at once fortified. The fight
ing continued all day, and was
still progressing when the
courier left at II o'clock. The
fighting was desperate on both
sides. "

THE WAR IN THE EAST.
The Condition ofthe two arm
leslie Russians ORE
the Defensive.

London Aug. 1.-THE dispatch
es represent the several Russian
positions as safe, but they are ut
terly inefficient for the renewal
Of offensive movements. There
are seventy thousand Turks at
Lovatz and on the Plevna line,
who, the correspondent says, will
take a deal Of beating. On the
Russian left flank the Czaro-
witch's army, which is available
for holding the line from the
Danube to the Balkans, numbers
about sixty thousand, necessari-
ly attenuated over a long front,
so as to leave no gap for the
Turks to creep through. The
Turks are probably of the same
strength, but if Mehemit Ali
chooses to take the offensive, he
may concentrate at Rustchuk,
Rasgrad and Osman Bazaar. The
Russians must be ready to face
him everywhere, consequently
they must remain strictly on the
defensive.
The River LON virtually CON
stitutes the line of the Rustchuck
army. General Zimmerman is
stalemated. He is guarding the
Dobrudscha, which is not threat
ened, and he can not push for
ward with his thirty thousand
men lest his enemies from Varna
and Shumla should converge up
on him. The Russians are begin
ming to suffer in health, some
corps from hard marching, heat
and irregular rations. The prin-
cipal cause, however, is the neg
lect Of sanitary precautions, re
sulting in the general tainting of
the air. At Biela the air is thick
and heavy from emanations from
filth and oAal. Gen. IgnatieT is
is still confined to his room with
gastric fever. Prince Galatzin is
also out Of five AdjutantS- Gener-
al in attendance upon the Gar
are i'll. Nearly every body are
more or less sick or squeamish.
The Grand Duke himself will
take supreme direction in the
forthcoming attack on Plevna.
An occasional correspondent of
the Times at Vienna says every
thing tends to show that Niche
met Ali and Luleiman Pasha are
making efforts to effect a juction
by the Silvia Pass, so as to dis
lodge the Russians from Tirnova.
If they succeed in ellecting the
junction we may expect shortly
to hear of great battle, which
will decide this years campaign.
The Times Bucharest special
states that the Gar remains at
Biela. Thought the Russian army
is being strengthened rapidly,
there is little chance of any seri-
GUS action for more than a week.
The Turks, Instead Of acting
with energy and decision, are
building more defensive works;
and, strangest of all, the Russians
have finally decidedly to stop
short in their career without op-
Grating beyond the Balkans this
year. They will probably sue
coed in clearing this side Of the
mountains in one campaign, but
meanwhile there must be much
sickness.
