the Russians attacked the outer lines
with furious determination, having
preceded their attempt b, heavy but
i'll directed cannonade from the siege
artillery. The powerful guns in the
Turkish batteries replied with better
effect. The duel was vigorously MAIN
tanned till the Russians brought up
columns of infantry as close as they
dared to the Qualifications, apparently
purposing, If possible, to take the place
by storm. The Ottoman commander,
observing this, drew together a large
body of troops behind the ramparts and
launched tremendous sortje upon the
Russian flank and rear, under the
shock Of which the enemy were oblig
ed to retreat into a disadvantageous
position. A bloody engagement fol-
lowed at close quarters, aud at lis
termination the Russians were obliged
to retreat beaten, leaving upon the
field, 300 corpses aud a large number
of wounded There was a slight en-.
counter meantime between the cavalry

railways will be stopped to allow the
passage of stores and siege artillery
The Gar will remain at Bucharest

Capltation Tax.

H. L. Daniel, Attorney General OF
the State in response to questions pro-
pounded by Gov. Kemper says upon
the questions:
l. "Does the requirement (pay>
ment of the capitation tax of the pre-
ceding year as one of the publications
to vote at elections) apply to the
elections held IN cities and towns for
city and town oficers?" atm of
opinion that it does, the qualifications
for voting at all elections by the
people being under the provisions OF
the Constitution required to be the
same.
2. 'sDoes the assessment, Of the
capitation tax of 1876, before the
adoption of the amendment, excuse
its payment as prerequisite to vot-
ing?" am of the opinion that it
does not. The language of the
amendment is general: "And shall
have paid to the State before the day
OF election the capitation tax required
by law for the preceding year. No
reference is made to the assessment OF
of the tax.
3. "Can voter who has not been
assessed for the capitation tax of the
preceding year, but is willing before
the election to pay the same, and
tender it to the collector of the tax
for that year, be permitted to vote =
