Gen. Grant and the English Working
Men,

Forty men, each representing differ
ent trade, and representing altogether
about 100000 English workingmen,
waited on ex-President Grant, Tuesday,
and presented him with an address,
welcoming him to England, and assuring
him of their good wishes and deep re-
gard for the welfare and progress of
America, where British workmen had
always found a welcome. Impromptu
speeches were made by various men,
bers Of the deputation, all of which were
extremely cordial. General Grant re-
piled as follows:
SIN the name of my country thank
you for the address you have presented
to me. l feel 1t great compliment paid
to my government, aud one to me per-
sonally. Since my arrival on British
soil | have received great attentions,
which were intended, am sure, In the
same way for my country. l have had
ovations, free hand shakings, presenta-
tons from different classes, from the
government, from the controlling au-
thorities Of cities, and have been receiv-
ost Il. ti-O Sfsi~S W eiAo YvPs.i-~~y L-..
there has been no reception which am
prouder of than this to-day. 1 recog-
nize the fact that whatever there is of
greatness In the United States, as in
deed in any other country, is due to la
Dor. The laborer is the author of all
greatness and wealth. Without labor
there would be no government, no lead
ing class nor anything to preserve.
With us labor is regarded as highly re-
spectacle. When it is not so regarded,
it is because man dishonors labor. We
recognize that labor dishonors no man,
and no matter what mans occupation
is, he is eligible to I'LL any post In the
gift ofthe people; his occupation is not
considered in selecting, whether as a
law maker or as executive of the law.
Now, gentlemen, in conclusion, all |
can do Is to renew my thanks for the
address and repeat what have said be-
fore, that have received nothing from
any class since my arrival which has
given me more pleasure"

~ The labor strikes OF the present
season have been numerous, but almost
uniformly unsuccessful so far as accom-
plishing anything toward raising wages
or preventing their diminution. Prob
ably they have failed more certainly and
more quickly than they would have
done in any other time, when business
is more lively and work more in de-
mand. In fact, the unions are fast
yielding up the ghost all over the coun-
try. Their object is confessedly mat
tainable and the members do not care to
spend their money on them longer. 1t
is well that it is so, for the system has
nothing to commend it to the regard of
the people. Strikes are always perni-
cious, and seldom If ever benefit those
who go into them.

The Russians In Bulgaria.
LONDON. Tuesday. July 8. 1s

LONDON, Tuesday, July 3, 1877.
The hardness of the Russians since
they crossed the Danube Is subject of
remark In the war kilograms from the
Danube. The position they hold is,
however, admirable for defense, and
the time allowed them by the Turks has
enabled them to bring up men and guns
enough to defend 1t. For two days the
situation was critical; but now, by &C.
cupying the hills In force, the Russians
have practically gained a strong base of
operations. The Russians were like
wise lax in not following the retreating
Turks. Although the crossing was eff
fected OIL Wednesday, 1t was only on
Saturday that Gen. Skobelofrs Cossacks
went to learn the whereabouts of the
Turks. Meantime the bridge was in
complete, and the Russian force was IL
able to an attack In the flank from Rust
chuk and Nikopolis. Access from SIM
nitza to the place of embarkation was
suffered to remain difficult track down
q steep bluff, and no attempt was made
to improve the communications. The
troops on the Turkish banks are living
precariously. A generals dinner has
to be sent from his baggage wagon on
the Roumanian side. There Is no accu-
mutation of provisions or ammunition
at Sistova. The sanitary arrangements
of the Russian camps are conspicuous
by their absence. The atmosphere of
Simnitza is poisonous and the water
supply abominable. One correspondent
draws damaging comparison with the
Germans IN the foregoing particulars,
and says finer army than the Russian
was never seen, but its very fineness
makes more conspicuous defective tao
tics. methods and arrangements.
Despite these shortcomings, IL is de-
clared at Bucharest to-day that, not
outstanding the absence of war news,
1t will he found that no time has been
lost in pushing forward military opera
tons. The car continues visiting the
wounded on the banks of the Danube.
LONDON, Wednesday, July 4, 1877.
The Vienna correspondent of The
London Times says; "The taking of
Tirnova, which has not yet been official
" announced, turns ont TO be true.
This is important, as from Tirnova ra-
diatc several roads across the Balkans.
The conflicting rumors hitherto current
may be reconciled by the supposition
that the Russian attack on the bridge
over the Jantra, at Biela, which was
repulsed, was merely feint to make
the advance on Tirnova..
A telegram from Shumla, Tuesday
says: "Rumors from the Danube are
very conflicting, but it is evident that
the Russians are definitely established
at Sistova, and no concentration OF
Turkish forces to drive them across the
river has taken place.
