The Turkish Defeat.

Calamitously beaten in the open country,
his army cut up, a great part OF it sur
rendered with its artillery, Moukhtar, the
conqueror is a fugitive who has tempo
rarily taken refuge within the lines of Kars.
Apparently the battle in Armenia is the
most decisive conflict of the war. 1t puts
the whole Turkish army in that region
almost hors de combat and leaves the Rus
SLAMS masters of the open country and at
liberty to return, almost unmolestod,
to the siege of Kars. Is it yet
possible for them to take proper advan-
tage Of this victory? With the season 50
advanced, the roads so bad, the means Of
transporting stores so inefficient, it is not
possible to move an army far into an
enemy's country and, therefore, SO far rs
can be understood at this distance, the vic
tory is likely to prove barren as to strictly
military results but in it's moral aspects it
is for the Ottomans crushing blow. twill
discourage every part of their army and
with the force in Armenia thus cut up, with
Osmans hundred thousand starving, and
Suleiman's S disheartened with inactivity, it
is possible that the minds of the men at
Constantinople may be disposed to accept
terms of peace.

called upon to pay the restored men their
back salaries. There is short way out OF
one of the difficulties. The men were re-
moved in violation of the law because
their places were wanted by the Commits
sioners for their friends. There is no doubt
that the desire to make vacancies so as to
divide the patronage up among the Commis-
sioners was the secret underlying the re-
movals. As their action was either in disre-
gard or ignorance Of the law the Commits.
sioners and not the people ought to suffer.
The appointments made in place OF the men
illegally removed were in their turn illegal,
because no vacancies existed. 1t follows
that all the men appointed in place of these
who have been restored by the courts
should be at once displaced and the num-
Der of firemen brought down to the neces-
sary and authorized figures.

Let 1t he Settled.

The cigarmakers' strike has assumed
large proportions, and will throw out Of
employment great number of persons who
money they earn from day to day or from
week to week. The HERALD has always in
sisted that labor has the right to strike
when dissatisfied with the compensation it
receives, and as the cigarmakers appear TO
have held themselves strictly within the
law and to have relied upon argument and
not on force to draw all their fellow work.
men into the movement nothing can be
said against their action except on the
ground Of its inexpediency. If they feel
that they are not paid fair, honest price
for fair, honest days work, they are en-
titled to demand more, and to endeavor to
enforce their demand by striking and striv-
ing to induce all their fellow workmen to
do the same. But it must be remembered
that by this step they entail idleness, at
least temporarily, on many thousands Of
men and women who have not dollar TO
fall back upon, and who must, until again
employed, be a tax on the hard earnings Of
other workmen.
Such condition Of affairs cannot be too
speedily ended For the sake both of en-
ployer and employed speedy settlement Of
their differences should be made. The en-
ployers by their readiness to concede some
increase on the present rates of compen-
sation admit that the workme en- have hereto
fore been paid too little. They will do well
to stretch their liberality and make fair
step forward to meet the employees. The
latter, on their part, should be careful not
to be too exacting in their demands at this
time, when business is only just on the turn
of the scale in improvement, and when a few
weeks idleness will entail upon them and
their families serious loss and much suffer-
ing. Let both sides show disposition to
meet half way and the difficulty may soon
be ended to their mutual advantage.

Preparing for the Battle.

The republicans and the anti-Tammany
democrats both held their county conven-
tions last evening and both paid tribute
to judicial purity and ability by nominating
Judge John Il. Brady for reelection to the
Supreme Court bench. No other nomina-
tions were made by either convention, but
committees were appointed to confer with
all the opponents of the Tammany democ-
racy with regard to the remainder of the
ticket. The Tammany County Convention
meets to-day, and it cannot do better than
to lay aside partisanship and indorse the
republican and anti-Tammany nominee,
Judge Brady, for the Supreme Court. BY
this action New York will follow Kings
county in the commendable determination
to raise the judiciary ont of the mire Of
politics and to give united support to q
good Judge.
The TammaHy Convention will no doubt
make its entire ticket to-day, and it is ru-
mored that the nominee for Register will be
ex County Clerk Charles +. Loew. There
was reason to suppose that Mr.. Shepherd I.
Knapp would receive this nomination from
Tammany, and the selection would have
been gratifying to all respectable citizens.
Should Mr. Knapp be rejected by Tam
many the opposition would have the oppor-
tunity to greatly strengthen themselves by
placing his name at the head Of tho inde-
pendent ticket. That the Tammany party
needs the prestige Of thoroughly good
nominations to-day is evidenced by the fact
that some influential members Of the or.

The Metropolitan Amateur Oarsm en-
Yesterday.


AT the opening meeting Of the newly
formed Metropolitan Association of ANA
teur Oarsmen yesterday afternoon on the
Kill Won Kull the Columbia College four
scored another victory, leading the Argo-
nautas only by part of length Eustis
and Downs won the pairs away from Levien
and Walsh, and the Carmansville Club
made good work Of it in the gigs, while at
the senior sculls Lee led Fearon, Of Yonk-
ers, by only three feet. The presence Of
of large tows passing through the Kill and
turning up just when least wanted
gave our oarsmen sample of
what English rowers have to con-
tend with on the busy Thames, and
called for sudden judgment and action
which are not known on clear courses, and
which availed Eustis and his mate greatly
yesterday, they going over the rope between
a steamer and its tow, while their antag-
onists took the long route around the tow.
The very careless running down of Eustis'
pair by the steamboat Peter Crary after their
race, and the narrow escape Of the rowers
after swimming under the steamers bottom,
and the sinking OF one tug by another while
chasing one Of the races, show the urgent
need of placing all accompanying steam
craft under one head and assigning them
positions from which they must in no
ordinary event depart.

Curiosities of Tweed's Examin ion.

The farce Of Tweed's so-called examina-
ton was continued yesterday, and served
to further illustrate the real object with
which it was started Much of the time
was occupied in political fencing between
the republican member of the committee
and the Assistant Corporation Counsel but
the witness remembered nothing of inter-
est and was remarkably oblivious OF the
names and services of the old Tammany
hacks who had clustered around him in the
days Of his glory and are still shin
ing lights Of the Wigwam. In written
statement Tweed set forth how much
money he had received since the exposure
of his fclonies and how it had been spent
With the most cbnsummate effrontery he
admits to the receipt of just upon one
million and q half dollars since the autumn
Of 1871, and proceeds to show how he ex-
pended this stolen money. While the people
he had plundered are still suffering from
the effect OF his robberies this impudent
thief coolly sets down the expenses of his
family for little over four years at two
hundred and twenty thousand dollars, or
nearly quarter OF million The re-
mainder he pretonds to have paid mainly
to his fellow thieves, his counsel and for his
attempted escape, and then having, as he
asserts, nothing lett, he asks for his liberty.
One cdrious feature of this expense ac-
count will strike every reader. How was it
that Tweed was enabled to dispose of real
estate, mortgages, bonds, jewelry and other
property to the'large amount of one million
and half dollars after his crimes had been
discovered and when the law was supposed
to have spread its meshes over him? Would
it not be pertinent to inquire who assisted
him in these financial operations-who sold
for him and who bought of him-so that the
whole story of how the city was dcfrauded
of restitution after Tweed's robberics were
known may be placed before the people?
