WEDNESDAY, JUNE IS. 1877.
An Old.FashiOued War.

Long distances and slow movements are
the things that are giving the present gen
Grafton of newspaper readers much dis
satisfaction with that eastern conflict that
they expected to have the interest of a
continued story written to be published
during the summer months.
The French and Austrian war in 1859
had been declared but 4 short time when
the battles of Magenta and Solferino were
fought. Hardly a month had gone after
the Prussian-A Austrian war began before
Sadowa had decided it. And in the
greatest of modern wars, that between
France and Germany in 1870, the battle
of Sedan had been fought and the French
Emperor was a prisoner in less time after
hostilities began than has now elapsed
since the declaration of war against
Turkey by Russia.
The Russians have been delaying at the
Danube for more than a month and even II
they cross it they cannot reach Constant
nople without a march of three hundred
miles. Their Asiatic columns will be,
should they succeed in reducing kars and
Erzeroum two or three times that distance
to the east of the Turkish capital.
The roads over which armies will have
TO pass are of the worst kind and, if re-
ports about the poor organization OF the
Turkish army are correct, are themselves
almost rs serious obstacles as the Musco-
vites will find on their way to the Golden
Horn. With these long distances and
wretched roads we may not look for any
brilliant movements like that which
brought the Prussian army under the very
walls of Paris within two months after it
passed the frontiers.
The Turks are not, it is true; wanting in
bravery and it is very possible that there
may be before long report of hard fought
battles of magnitude. In case of a reverse
to the Russians yet more caution and
slo,ypess will result, while 4 defeat of the
Turks would leave the abominablc kind Of
country which they have managed to make
of their dominions, as a hindrance to a
brilliant campaign. But there can be but
one result if the war continues the down
fall OF Turkish power.

CENTRAL VERMoNT.-In Franklin Coun-
ty, Chancellor Royce, Monday afternoon
filed Il decretal order on the petition of the
Central Vermont Railroad Company's re-
ceiver and manager for an order of the
sale of the Vermont Central and Vermont
and Canada Railroads and property to pay
the trust on the receivership's debts. The
petition was filed last September, and Il
final hearing was had at the present term,
commencing May II and lasting three
days, when a large number of parties and
counsel were present. This decretal order
is a very important one, The Court con-
silers:
First, that the trust debt accrued and
accruing in the administration of the Yer
mont Central and Vermont and Canada
Railroads, under the ~receivership thereof,
rs set forth in said petition, is a legal and
binding debt, and constitutes a charge and
first lien upon the Vermont Central and
Vermont and Canada Railroads, their
privileges and appurtenanc and the equip
ment appertaining thereto.
Second, that the Court of Chancery has
power to satisfy said lien by a sale Of said
railroads equipment and other property,
and that Il sale may be ordered under this
petition.
Third, that the amount and character OF
the trust debt is shown by the proofs, and
the inability of the petitioners to provide
for the same furnishes an occasion Tor and
the full justification of a sale, and that the
priorities as between different interests
sufficiently appear from the proofs and
prior proceedings in the case.
Fourth, | am therefore of the opinion
that on the allegations and proofs the petit.
TONERS are entitled to the relief asked fol
and that the prayer Of the petition ought
to be granted. But it is highly important
to all interested that the questions of the
validity and priority of the trust debts
referred to in the petition should be deter
mined and settled before any sale of the
property is made, and as doubts have been
entertained and in the event of ordering a
sale the question would probably be made
rs to when an appeal could be taken
whether Immediately upon the order Oh
after the sale, or sale and conformation.)
1t is for the above reasons and for the
purpose of having all the questions involv.
ed under said petition, nswer and
proofs, so far as may be practicable, dc.
termined and settled before any further
proceedings are had, ordered pro forms
on the day and year last aforesaid, at St,
Adams aforesaid, that the petition be dis.
missed without prejudice, on 4 motion Of
the Central Vermont Railroad Company
petitioners, on appeal from this decision
to the Supreme Court. at its next regular
term in this county, in January, 1873, OIL
to any special term of the Supreme Court
in this county, if one shall be sooner held
as under an act of the last Legislature, il
is likely there will be next month.
Mr.. Fiield took IN appeal which will
doubtless be heard at a special term.

At a recent meeting of the New York
Academy of Science, DR.. Newberry read
a paper on the evolution of the Continent
of America, in which he said that the old.
est known rocks are but the sedimentary
deposits of older formations, and it might
be that these latter were themselves the
remains of still more ancient rocks Of a
continent of the remote past. 1t was, OF
course, impossible to tell where that ION
tinent was, but out of its ruins had risen
the present continent. The Oldest known
rocks were the Laurentian and Hartman,
which extend from Labrador to the Lake
of the Woods unto the fur north. Ever
since its formation the American Cont
nent has been undergoing changes; newer
rocks are being made up of the present
rocks; the cooling OF the earth has work
ed great changes in the surface of the
land; the ocean is wearing away the iron
bound coasts. The sea has, time ant
again, forced its way far inland, leaving
deposits in which are contained remains
which give the key to the kinds and con
dltions of life which, ut remote periods.
were prevalent on this continent.

The absolute secrecy" and divorce

on the retired list. Indiana and Minnesota
courts have decided that divorces which

entirely worthless. A St. Louis Judge has
just debarred a lawyer who advertised to
obtain divorces without publicity on the
grounds that such advertisements reflect

South AMERICA.-Panama dates of the
ID contains the following: The steamer
Orava, from Callao 18th ult, brings full
details of the disasters on the coast from
earthquakes and tidal waves. The towns
of africa, Iquique, Punta de Lobos, Pabil-

About six hundred lives were lost. The
destruction of property is estimated at
500, 000, 900 confined mostly 10 the coast,
although tile town of Tarapola, twenty
three leagues inland. and the villages of
Plea, Matilda and Canchones, far in the
interior, were more or less ruined.
The shipping of guano from Southern

all facilities in the way Of launches, chutes,
wlarves, water condensers and buildings
of all kinds have been destroyed.
The destruction of shipping was very

those of 1868 and that the effects upon

A CRISIs.-The situation in France is
the most serious there has been for years.
MacMahon has broken finally with the re-
puclicans, and seems inclined to do almost
anything the monarchlsts desire, except to
plot for a king before his own time for the
presidency is out. MacMahon will either
remain president till 1880 or retire and
let his dear countrymen have it OUT
among themselves. in any way they choose.
1t is not yet certain that there will be a
dissolution Of the chambers. If there is one
the government will use all its powers
against the republicans and the result will
be quite doubtful.

Other Utah advices discredit the story
of j. B. Stillson, the correspondent Of the
New York Herald, that two attempts were
recently made to assassinate him in
the interest of the Mormon hierarchy,
and do not give much strength to the pur-
pose of arraigning Brigham Young for
completely in the Mountain Meadow mas
sacre. That he was really responsible for
it there is small moral donbt, but it is not
believed that witnesses can be found now
to prove his guilt. The suppressed por-
lions of Bishop Lees confessions charged
the crime upon Young and other high
members Of the Mormon church, but Lee
was obviously reyengeful and vindictive
in his last moments, and, ven il there
ever were evidence to sustain his charges,
it is not likely that it can be prodnced
now. However, the United States courts
in Utah will be instructed to 90 ahead and
make the most they can of the case. But
while there are elements in the territory
that may at any moment produce an ex.
plosion and revolution, there is not likely
anything very serious to happen there al
present,

Republic, History of the United Neither

engaged on a history of the Thirty Years
War but his progress therein had been de-
layed by the effects of a partial stroke Of
