Russia's demands are hardly yet matter OF
practical concern. Differences have, however,
arisen on the subject in the Russian camp,
Prince GortschakOff being in favor OF short
war and mild terms, while General lgnateif Is
disposed to have h0stilities go on until Turkey
is completely humbled. General lgnateif
proposition seems likely to prevail Unlike the
Austro- Prussian war, this conflict cannot close
without the absolute suhjection of the Ottoman
Power. Nothing less will satisfy the Russian
people or insure durable peace.
Florida has been installed in public opinion
as the one State in which cOnsumptives could
not only save life, but enjoy it. But, as letter
from Louisiana on another page shows, that
State can offer an equally beneficial climate to
those in whom the disease has not taken hrm
root. and can also hold out additional induce
ments in the countless opportunities that exist
to obtain employment and make judicious
investment of capital. These opportunities
exist in far greater proportion than on the
sandy soil of Florida. In the instance which
our correspondent gives, that of suear-maklng,

so because it seems possible to secure COM

"and at our own price" That was Barney

capital while the friends OF freedom anu
Justice waited in the yard.
Meantime the foes of freedom and Justice
whom il is proper under the circumstances to
distinguish as Brea1-losers-stood on the trans
waiting an opportunity to save themselves
from starvation. Poor devils! They thought
they too had rights among them the night to
sell their own labor at their own price. Fatai
mistake Barney j. had taken charge OF every
thing, and nobody-neither the despots OF cap
ital who wanted laborers nor the laborers VINO
wanted work-had any rights whatever Anu
Barney j. and his fellow bread-wnners hiaoe
their fight and stood up nobly against tlie des-
pots of capital and the breadlOsers, and drove
the bread-losers from the trains. Lives
were sacrificed and property destroyed
and untold damage inflicted, simply because
the despots of capital blindly and stubbornly
insisted on buying only what they wanted,
when they pleased, and at market rates, nstead
of making to Barney j. and the Bread inners
the small concession of buying only OF them
and at their price. Then came the pervcrslon
of n republican government into an lnt0lefaDle
despotism by the arrest of Barney j. Donahue
And this is what the friends of freedom and
Justice are expected to rise up and rally and
denounce. The Independent Bread-Winners'
League have already denounced the arrest as
"an unprecedented exercise OF despotlc power
Language which seems mild compared with the
nature of the outrage. We therefore call upon
the friends of freedom and justice to rally
and not Only denonnce and protest Dut
also to firmly demand that Barney j. Donahue
be released from prison and put III charge OF
all the railroads in the country; and that VINO
ever appeals from his decision on the question
of wages be Immediately shot down on the
spot. Let us have it established once Tor all
that 80 long as Barney j. Donahue lives, no
bread-winner shall be humiliated by the spec
tacle presented by despot OF capital manag-
ing his own property; and so long as the
Bread Winners League exists, republican gov
crnmept shall not be perverted into an intol-
cradle despotism by the arrest OF such men as
Barney j. Donahue.

The account of the Battle of Orlskany, the
Centennial anniversary of winch Is to be non
ored by local observance, will recall to the
reader many Revolutionary events OF MINOR
character which make no great figure IN gen
eral history, but which, nevertheless, were not
without their influence upon the current OF
events. A recital of their particulars recalls
names worthy of the highest honor, but which
TO some extent have faded out of the public
memory. Without doing injustice to other gal
lant men engaged in the hardfought action,
we NAV point with pride to the nobly proml-
nent figures of Herkimer and Willet, both types
of the best character of the time-men who
were brave, modest and able men who were
rs well prepared for any emergency as un-
daunted valor and complete self-abnegatIon
could make them-patriotc gentlemen and born
leaders of patriots
The interest in centennial celebrations has
naturally somewhat abated after the prolonged
excitement of 1876. We are, however, only
at the beginning of days worthy of remem-
blance, which will rapidly recur during a few
years to come. The great aud decisive battles OF
the war; the surrender of Burgoyne and the
capitulation of Yorktown are yet to becom MEM
Grated, as well as the final treaty which placed
this Republic upon basis acknowledged by
Great Britain, as well as by all the other ma
tions of the world The civil events by which
the Union was consolidated will in due course
follow, and their place in the national chronol-
ogy will be duly honored. There will be many
opportunities for promoting a fresh remem-
brance of the struggles and triumphs of the
Unions infancy and we may confidently be-
lieve that they Will not be neglected.

New-York tribune., 1877-08-04

With July began the monster camp-meetings
which will probably increase IN numbers, II
not in feryor of spirit, during this month.
Every thoughtful man, whether Il church-mem-
Der or not, feels it to be dangerous expert
ment TO question publicly any well-meant
effort for the bettering of the world. Criticism
of churches and church-work, while it may
reform those inside of the church doors, usu-
ally drives outsiders further from them, and
adds strength to the blatant popular clamor
against the clergy. But even at the risk OF
this we must urgently suggest that more care
be observed in the conduct of these mammoth
religious gatherings this season than was done
last Summer. if it is not wished that the evil
accomplished by them shall very nearly cOun-
terbaance tine good.
The object of these meetings is sound and
rational. 1t is right for people TO 20 out of
the city in Summer, it is right for them to as
socIate together OH their holiday; and 1t is
undoubtedly right for earnest Christians to
make this occasion. season of prayer and
praise and of effort for the conversion of sin
ners, as well as of cheerful social enjoyment.
We have nothing but commendation to give to
this phase of the meetings. When the Master
would teach the highest truths He led the
multitudes out close to Nature, To the fields
and mountains. Neither have we any intcn-
ton of holding the leaders of these meetings
responsible for the disorder, drunkenness or
any other evil practice to be found among the
crowds that flock to them. Wherever there is
a popular place of meeting there is IN attrac-
tion for whiskey dealers, tramps, and every
other class who prey upon human weaknesses
or vice, and it does not matter to them
whether the object be horse-racing or prayer.
The police and other restrictive regulations
are, we are told, as thoroughly arranged as Is
practicable. That is all which can be de-
manded of the managers. Ii may be that in
the great multitudes that followed the Great
Teacher there was frivolity aud irreyerence
which was not cowed even by the Divine
Presence.
The danger in these meetings is that the
frivolity and irrevercnce too often seem to
creep into the pulpits and the prayers. We
would not rebuke or encourage "a smile ut the
most ignorant utterances of sincere man
pleading for God. Such utterances never yet
failed of their effect. The most successful
preacher of the present century is an illitente
man, outside of the Word of God. Neither is
there any extTyagance of thought or diction
which is not pardonabe to the rapture of de-
voton or intense feeling. But a man rises
very seldom in his life to these supreme heights
Of devotion OF feeling. He cannot finish his
mutton-chop at breakfast and at will be car
ried by the Spirit up TO the Hills of Bculah,
coming down precisely in time for more chops
at noon. Yet the prevailing tone adopted in
these enormous crowds iii payers, hymns, and
New-York tribune., 1877-08-04

preaching, il that of this exceptional intense
excitement. We do not wish to speak harshly
when we say that it is the fashionable
tone. Truths of awful import are chattered
about in the tents in the same breath with the
sale of oysters and CLANS The salvation OF a
human being, the story of Christs death
every subject indeed which the thoughtful
man approaches in conritiOn and reverence or
soul, knowing how profound and awful are the
mysteries OF which he treads-are made topics
of hourly vulgar chatter, and that expressed
in the grossest hyperboe of feeling. Some of
the trains coming and going to these meetings
last Summer contained spectacles to make
wise man weep: hysteric women, pale iron
nights and days of excitement, with men ana
children, alternately singing hymns OF raptir-
ous JOY or despair, and joking, coarseiy enough
with their acquaintances at each station
We want to be understood. We have not
word to say against this excitement or rapture
when it is real We should hesitate to con-
denim even the falling Christians" in the memor-
able epidemic in Ireland. But we do assert
that when it is simulated, when extrayagant
religious emotion becomes hackneyed, tash-
ionable thing, initiated half unconsciousy by
weak men and women, that a great aud sefi-
GUS damage is done to the cause of Christ.
All that is required of the leaders OF these
meetings to make them the engines Tor good
which they purpose, is absolute sincerity III
themselves and that high reverence III the
treatment of the awful truths they teach
which shall command at least a decent respect
for them in others.

Another false account of the Nathan murder
has been concocted has had brief existence.
and now goes out in darkness There is really
no prospect at all that the mystery of that muir
der will he unravelled. No event in the whole
criminal history of this city has ever been more
thoroughly Investigated, and the total failure
of the search has long been admitted by our
police and detectives. They do not even pre-
tend to have a clew, and that is something
which can be said concerning very few great
crimes in New-YOrk.
The Worry of the Democrats of Ohio over
4heir state nominations keeps pace with the
CONGRATULATIONS of the Republicans over theirs.
The grumbling in the Democratic camp over
the record OF Mr. Bishop is widespread and loud.
Many Democrats are represented as saying
that they will not vote for him. Possibly they
will not, but it would be a mistake for the
Republicans to build their hopes too largely
on such threats of detection. Democrats are
apt TO growl-and vote the ticket.
Nearly One-sixth of the whole amount of
legal tenders is lying idle, piled up Oh de-
posit in the vaults of the Treasury. The bus
mess of the country has no need of this sur
plus. The fact should be a sufficient answer
TO people who suspect that the Government is
contracting the currency. As to circulation,
the currency contracts itself, in accordance
with the contraction Of trade and enterprise.
Government neither makes nor mars the pro-
cess and could only interfere by upsettmg
the natural laws of trade.
The decision of the Attorney General, that
the letters of Senator Sargent recommending
nersons for Federal offices cannot be dragged
into court as evidence in libel suit, is pro-
babIy sound law. SO far as members of Con-
orcss are concerned, the decision may serve
fo check a growing vice in our practical poll

DR.. Leonard Bacon, in letter which we
print to-day, brings some PLAIN, straIghtfor-
ward common sense into the discussion con-
ceIning the resumption of specie payments.
To his mind the problem presents itself chiefly
as a question whether the United States shall
be honest or dishonest. He is, however also
firm in the conviction that it will be expedlent
to be honest. There are doubtless few con-
scentious but tind people among the oppo-
nents of resumption, who can offer some show
of reason for wishing the nation TO break It's
pighted faith ; it would be interesting to
place their arguments alongside of those when
DR.. Bacon offers. AS yet, the soft money ad-
vocates have not produced any very forcibe
reasoning to prove the necessity OF dishonesty.
