The war between the Russians and
Turks still continues. A dispatch of
the 1lth inst. reports that a Russian
battery hitherto masked by a vineyard,
opened fire that day on the Turkish
monitors near Ibrail. and that an hour
after the commencement of the action
a shell struck and entered the three
masted iron clad Turkish monitor
commanded by Hassah Bey, when she
blew up and sank Immediately, with
her crew OF three hundren.
Serious troubles are reported be-
tween the Turkish Chamber and the
Government, the Chamber being an
CRY at the Porte's acceptance of Ger
man protectorate over Russian sub
jects in Turkey. -a'...7' .-.'sf
The insurrection in Caucasus threat
ems to increase and is giving the Rus
sian Government much anxiety and
inconvenience.
Official kilograms from Tifiis state
that after capturing Mukhaster the
Russians, on the IIth INST, threw for
ward two columns agains Il khatzubani
Heights. skirting the river Kintregoi.
This strong position was stormed with
the loss of Twelve killed and one hun
dred and sixteen wounded. TheTurk-
lsh losses were enormous. The Turks
claimed victory here. '''''
A Constantinople dispatch says the
Porte is very uneasy about supplies of
arms and ammunition still to come
from New York, and is very angry
withAmerica for allowing theRussian
squadron to remain in American wa
tiers. The bad feeling is increasing.
A Turkish journal has actually adj
vocated the massacre of Christians.
The English Representative has de-
manded explanations. Many Turks
resent the idea even of the friendly oc-
cupation of ConstantinopIe by the En-
glish, and say if England wants to help
Turkey she should do SO on the Dan
ube or in Asia. There is great uDeas-
mess among European resident. Many
have left, and others are leaving.
The Khedive's actions are watched
very distrustfully. 1t is known that
he has been tempted ,sorely by Russia,
and it is thought that if the Turks suf-
fer any important reverses the tempta-
ton will prove too strong for him.

IT must have been an extraordinary
emergency that required the calling of
an extra session of Congress on the
18th of October-but month and
half before the regular session-and
which induced His Fraudulency to is
sue his proclamation for that purpose
nearly five months in advance of the
session. The fiscal year will end on
the 30th of June, and after that not
dollar can be used for paying the army
without an open violatian of law, as
Congress has made no appropriation
for that purpose. But Hayes proposes
to run that branch of the Government
for three and q half months beyond
that time before Congress is called to-
gether to act upon the subject Of an
army appropriation bill. 1t must, in
deed, be an extraordinary emergency
that induces the postponement of the
session till that late day.

WE are now within about nineteen


il WE are now within about nineteen
months of the time designated by the
Radical Resumption act for resuming
specie payments, and yet the Govern :,
ment has but about five million dollars
of gold with which to redeem over
three hundred millions of legal.tend-
ers. This would not seem like getting
q good ready for the accomplishment
of the difficult task. 1t may be posi-
BILE to require every debtor to meet
his obligations in gold, but it would
,sssm a though the result would be
about the same as the Duchman's eff
fort to learn his horse to subsist upon
shavings-he had not fairly got used
to the fodder before he up aud died.
The creditors may be the gamers but
1t cannot fail to crush out the business
and industrial enterprises of the coun-
try. The financial legislation of the
last twelve years has been the most
villainous ever practiced upon any
people. It's whole object has been to
enrich the non-producing, exacting
capitalists at the expense of the in
dnstrious, producing people. Not
satisfied with robbing the people to
the amount of hundreds Of millions in
1869 by declaring bonds, which, by the
law were payable in currency, to be
payable i'm coin, at later day, in 1873
they demonetized the old silver dol
lar of the fathers,' thereby making
gold alone the unit of value and max.
ing the bonds payable in gold only
This was so palpable fraud upon the
people as to find scarcely a defender
anywhere. Even the Ohio Iegisla-
ture at its late session, by almost q
| unanimous vote passed Joint resolu-
ton demanding the reconciliation OF
silver, and the Radical politicians will
go into the coming canvass claiming
to be in favor of the old silver dollar
In the mean time let not the people
forget that Sherman, Garfield & Co..
are doing an that lies in their power
to thwart the accomplishment of the
purpose. They are the perties who
perpetrated the outrage, and yet they
expect to be blindly followed by those
whom they have been SO long basely
betraying and plundering.

number of the wheel horses of their

THE SPEAKERSHIP
1t is currently reported here by the
friends of the opposing candidates for
the Speakership of the next House,
that Mr.. Tilden's influence is being
exerted strenuously in behalf of Mr.
Randall. Mr. Randall, however, is apt
to make more friends of himself than
through any aid from Col. Pelton, who
is looked upon as the representative of
Mr.. Tilden, or even from Mr.. Tilden,
for as matters now stand, the iutluence
of the latter is not as potential as for
merly. Doubtless Mr.. Tilden's choice

many aspirants for this position, that

DIR. sCHENcK,S STANDARD REM
EDIES.

The standard remedies fer all diseases OF the
lungs are schenck's Pulmonlc Syrup, Schenck's
Sea Weed Tonic, and schenck's Mandrake Pills,
and II taken before the lungs are destroyed,
speedy cure is effected.
To these three medicines DR.. j. H. schenck.
OF Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success In
the treatment OF pulmonary diseases.
The Pultnonic syrup ripens the morbid mat
ter N the lungs; nature throws it Off by an
easy eXpectoration, for when the phlegm on
matter is ripe, slight cough will throw IL on,
the patient has rest and the lungs begin to
heal.
To enable tho pulmonlc Syrup TO do this,
Schenck's Mandrake Pils and Schenk's Sea
Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse the
stomach and liver Sckenck's Mandrake Pills
act on the liver, removing all distractions. re-
lax the gall bladder, the bile starts freely, and
the liver IS soon relieved.
Schenck's sea Weed 7 onic is gentle stimu-
lant and Alternative; the alkal OF which 1t is
composed mixes with the food and prevents
souring. It assists the digestion by toning up
the stomach TO u healthy condition, so that the
tood ana Pulnonic ~ rup Will make good blood;
Then the lungs heal, aud the paiiel.t Will surely
get wen II care is taken TO prevent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult Dr. SchencK, either
personally or by letter, can do so at his princi-
pal cflice, corner OF Sixth and Arcn Sts., Phila-
delphla, every MOnday.
