HEROIC RUSSIANS.
Gen. Sko5eief's StOrminS and CaD- ture of the LOftcha Redoubt--Ter- rible Scenes of Slaughter.

The redoubt Skobeleff was attacking was road down near Plevna. He had advanced his troops down the slope of the moun- tain to within easy range. As the Turks immediately opened fire upon him from the redoubt, he returned the fire with steadi- ness a-.d precision, putting his men under cover as much as possible, his cannon pour ing a steady stream of shell and canister into the redoubt as well. In fact he worked his cannon so much that several pieces have been spoiled He had evidently de- termined to risk everything to capture this redoubt, and if Plevna were not taken it would not be his fault. For three hours he kept up this fire and, just after Krilon's second repulse, the Turkish fire having somewhat relaxed. dominated by the Rus sian, he thought the moment had come fer making the assault.
 He had four regiments of the Inc, and four battallions of sharpshooters. Still keeping up his murderous fire he formed under its cover two regiments, the Vladi- Inirski and the Zooaolski, in the little hol- low at the foot of the low hill on which was built thcredoubt, together with two battallions of sharpshooters, not nc re than 1900 yards from the scarp. Then, placing himself in the best position for watching the result, he ceased fire and ordered the advance. He ordered the assaulting party not to fire, and they rushed forward with their guns on their shoulders, with music ed in the fog and sI loke. Skobeleff is the only general who places hims,lf near enough to feel the pulse of a battle. The advancing column was indistincty seen, a dark mass in the fog and smoke. Feeling as it werc every throb of the battle, he saw his line begin to waver and hesitate. Upon the instant he hurried forward rival regi- ment to support and again watched the result. This new force carried the mass further on with ifs momentum, but the Turkish redoubt famed and smoked, and poured forth such torrent of bullets that the line was again shaken. Skobeletf stood in this shower of balls unhurt All his escort were killed or wounded, even to the little Kirgniz, who received bullet in the shoulder Again he saw the line hesitate and waver and he flung his fourth and last regiment, the Libausky, on the glacis. Again this new force carried the preceding ones forward until they were almost on the scarp, but the deaily shower of bullets poured upon them, men dropped by hun dreds, and the result still remained doubt full The line once more wavered and hesi-

Don Piatt asserts that he will furnish evidence to convict Generals Ingalls, and Marcy (McClellan's father law of having been bribed into recommending the Cowles Braga moth cxterminator, by which it was foisted on the government at cost of thous inds of dollars. The inference is that Mcclellan himself is not guiltless. Of course such insinuations against high toned army officials has startled "good society" which means those with plenty of money without much regard to any other consideration.

The Bench md Bar Of Russia.

We sometimes hear the present war in the
and barbarism. Now, civilization is the
word which the Archbishop loved to cite
as type Of those abstract terms which
may mean anything or nothing. There Is
one mark, however, by which the looscst
thinkers are accustomed 10 identify civilized
communities, and that is an upright and eff
fective administration Of justice. 1t may be
well, therefore, TO state some facts bearing
on the existing judicial system and the
state of the legal profession in tho Russian
empire
In a sketch OF the organization OF justice
introduced by the Wanted Law Reform of
1854, the state Of things which previously
obtained must be described in a few
sentences. The northern empire has never
had jurist, and up TO the time OF
Car PETER 1t had no Jurisprudence and no
procedure. There existed nothing but
rude folk law and the duty Of defending
person and property lay for the most part
ON the Individuals themselves. Nor can il
bc said that the intervention OF the State NJ
the beginning Of the eighteenth con-
fury was u substantial Improvement.
When the dispensation OF justice was
appropriated by the central authority, its
ministers shut themselves up in dark
room, from which the contending parties
and tho public were vigorously excluded,

The authorities have done right in allowing
the meeting at Tompkins square this even
ing. Tho people have right to assemble
peacefully to discuss questions Of interest;
and We trust that this meeting may tend to
cnlightcn and quiet, not to confuse and
inilamc the minds of those who attend 1t.
But there is a public danger which must
he understood and provided against. The
riots which have occurred elsewhere must
not be repeated in New York.
We appeal to the intelligent workingmcn
Of the city not In any manner TO lend their
countenance to the enemies OF public order
and OF law. Why should riot, with blood
shed and the destruction of property, take
place in our streets Would anybody be
benefited thereby? Would any good be
done by it2 Would it not make terrible
addition to the misery and suffering which
now weigh upon 80 many of our people
Let every workingman in New York set
his face against those individuals and those
influences that tend TO the disturbance Of
the peace, and no such disturbance will
occur

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sr: mass

One OF the apparent cccentrlcities OF the
railroad strike is the fat that rates Of wages
which are perfectly satisfactory to laborers on
one road only afford an occasion for strike
upon another. Before the recent reduction.
nrcmcn on the New York Central were paid from
$l.25 To sl.7j day. while on the Erie Hallway
they were paid from sl.76 to 1896. A reduction
of 10 per cent on the Erie would bring wages
down so that they would range from &l.5s ~
81 l2-much more than on the Central before the
reduction; and yet against these larger rates
the Eric llrcmen strike. On the Baltimore and
Ohio the old rates were sl.5O and sl.75 day
while the reduction leaves them at sl.35 ami
sl.57is. an average above the old pay on the
New York Central. Why should wages which
is sufficient in New York. not be sufficient in
