THE WEArHER.-As We anticipated, the
pressure has risen very rapidly in the Western
country and the area of high barometer is now
extended over the region where recently low
prcssurcs prevailed. Tho baromctrc trough
along the Atlantic coast n being gradually
filled up the storm centre which developed it
makes progress eastward from Newfoundland,
whence it is now departing. Another depression
is beginning to descend into the Upper Mis-
souri Valley and is the same that was passing
over the Oregon coast on Friday. 'pockct"
has been formed in the northern margin of the
il,ca OF high pressure on the western side of the
lako region, and in it sight disturbance is
being developed. Yesterday morning light
rains fell along tho Atlantic coast from Florida

wins fair or clear, except at q lew places in the
lake region and the Southwest. The tcmpcra-
t,,re in the Northeast is high. 1t has risen in
the Northwest and is stationary in the central
districts. Tho weather in New York today
promises to be fair or partly cloudy and pleas

There Is nothing more interesting than to road what

of the same commodity and the price
is often not affected but the COM
modify produced by a railroad company
is the swift and certain transportation
of persons and goods through a given dis
trict and the arrest of that production is
grievous injury to large class of persons
who are not involved in any way whatever
in the wrong, real or supposed that has
been done to the laborers. If railroad men
only refuse their services the responsibility
would fall upon the company of con.
tinuing the traffic; but if they refuse
to labor and resist, with violence, the
operation Of the roads, endeavor to
drive away by intimidation men who are
ready to take their places, then, in fool
open war upon the interests of the public
at large and they can only expect that an
intelligent public opinion will protest
against their acts.
In the war now raging between the mobs
and the militia we may see the elimination
of the famous freight and passenger wars
that have been waged between all the great
railroad companies for two or three years
past. Undoubtedly the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad strained its resources to the
utmost to get the better OF its competitors
for the freight traffic, and railroads COM
PEELED to keep pace with it were led into
the same false direction. If company
carries goods at ridiculously made
quate rates and is still resolved to
pay dividends, it must save itself in some
way and that way is likely to be as 1t has
been.--the reduction of mems wages and the
doubling of their labor. But it is an ex-
pensive triumph when it directly provokes
such troubles as are now upon us-troubles
regrettable in every aspect, but most in that
the evil consequences will fall very lightly
upon those who have done most to provoke
them.

Military Operations i'm Bulgaria.


The report that a battle lasting ten hours
has taken place mt Plevna between the Rus
SLAMS and Turkish covering force under
Osman Pacha, and in which the former suf-
fered o repulse, is one of those war rumors
that tend to misrepresent the situation.
We are inclined to regard the fight
as sharp skirmish between the Rus
sian advance guard and Turkish de-
tachment garrisoning Plevna, and nothing
more. The closing of the Danube by the
Russians with sunken stone ships recalls the
expedient adopted at Charleston. 1t effectu-
ally bars out the Turkish feet from inter-
fering with the Russian operations below
Galatz. The arrival of Suleiman Pacha's
troops at the railroad terminus ut Enos lends
considerable interest to the trans-Balkan
operations and really transfers the seat of
war for the present to Roumelia. If
this reinforcement fails to check the
Russian advance on Adrianople then the
position of the Turks becomes extremely
critical. Already three divisions have
reinforced the Russians at Jeni Saghra.

pushing their advantage to the furthest
the Turks must whip them effectually south
of the Balkans, or risk the possession of Bull
garia with all its fortresses except Shumla
and Varna on single great battle between
Osman Bazaar and Rasgrad. A Turkish vic
tory there, although it may not prove de-
cisive, would certainly tend toward forcing
the Russians to evacuate Roumelia. But.
on the other hand, if the Russians win
such battle, the abandonment of
Rustchuk and Silistria and all the
territory between Shumla and the Danube
will become a matter of necessity. SEN
sational story of an attempted assassination
of the Gear appears in our dispatches this
morning. 1t is not surprising that some
fanatical Moslem would try by one we'll
aimed bullet to change the aspect of the
campaign, which is now gloomy for the
cause of Islam. Another bridge has been
thrown over the Danube at Rahova by the
Russians. This new crossing will facilitate
the movements against Widdin and Sofia by
shortening the lines of transportation from
the bases in Roumania.

The Returning Board Pre.entmsnt.

The Returning Board Present m snt.
A prominent Louisiana democrat writes
to friend in this city:-"The leaders in
the Returning Board indictment are Whit
taker, the Judge of the Court. late con-
vert from the republican party, and Ogden
the Attorney General, who, instead OF being
a Bourbon democrat, as the Northern papers
say, comes from IN old whig family and has
been reformer, unifcationist and con-
servative-in fact, anything but an out-and-
out democrat. My own impression is that the
Tilden people in New York had something
to do with starting the matter, but that it
was mainly carried out by Whitaker and
Ogden to make little political capital
The Senate advised the Governor to guaran-
tee against any political prosecutions, and
Ibelieve both houses Of the Legislature, who
voted unanimously to give this pledge, are
opposed to the whole matter. The Governor
will pardon them if convicted and will be
sustained in so doing by the whole General
Assembly" 1t appears from this that the
Returning Board prosecution is the work of
q few tinkering politicians. That has been
the general impression since both sides to
the controversy recently addressed the

How to Aid the Business OF the City.
Mr.. William r. Martin, the President of
the Park Department, in a letter published
in to-days HERALD, undertakes to point out
the causes Of the present lack of employ
ment in New York and to suggest remedies.
His argument is that the want Of proper
terminal facilities in the city hinders and
obstructs its commerce; that the lack of
rapid transit drives the manufacturing busi-
ness to the States of New Jersey and Con-
necticut, and that the general depression
prevents building and thus imposes idle
ness on labor. The principal remedies he
suggests are rapid transit, which would at
once recall the light manufacturing trade
to New York and revive the building busi-
ness, and u freight elevated railroad around
the city, which would relieve commerce
and make the handling and transportation
Of goods less expensive and dilatory than
it now is.
There is, no doubt, great deal Of truth in
President Martins propositions. Rapid
transit is, beyond question, the key to the
solution of n great part of our local Difficult
IAcS WIN IdpAu IoASAo uA uoouITO 1uCI
we might reasonably hope to draw within
the city limits large portion of those who
now make their homes in New Jersey
or in Brooklyn, and thus secure on in
creased business to the local retail trade of
the city. The considerations that would
increase our population would also draw
to the city the light manufacturing business
now located in the suburbs, and rapid tran
sit would Mt the same time give an impetus
to building in the upper part of the island
and thus make a demand for labor. AS
President Martin says, we are peculiarly
situated, and by denying the advantages of
rapid transit to our people are throwing
them quarter Of a century behind the age.
It would be we'll for New York if President
Martins suggestions could be promptly put
into force.
