TWENTY-SEVEN RESOLUTIONS.

Tammany Hall is in deadly earnest. For
proof thereof, 10! twenty-seven resolutions,
adopted by its County Convention on Thurs
day. making two newspaper columns, and ex-
bausiing, if not the Issues of the campaign, at
least the patience OF the reader. No other
political convention within the memory of man
ever went into the resolution business al
such tremendous length and in such reckless
disregard OF consequences Very few Domo-
Gratis will read the whole series through. Some
Will work their way laboriously through col
umn of them Others will spell their way
down through the first one, which states the
great truth that the Democratic party is the
only political organization which has
achieved, or which can accomplish, earnest,
"practical, efficient reform In National, State,
" and municipal affairs; f" and thousands will
look at them i'll silent astonishment,
and bless the fate that kept them
from learning to read. They were reported by
Mr.. Henry f.. Clinton, but no one supposes
that Mr. Clinton ever wrote them. He is much
too busy man to be able to spare time for
INV such literary effort. They must have
been gotten up by contract and sold to Mr..
John Kelly at go much a yard. And we give
that statesman credit for having got for Tam
many-whatever he gets for the city-full
measure There were only twenty-four of
them, as reported by the committee, but the
Hon. John A. Foley, who is believed to have
listened to the reading OF them, while Mr..
Schell and other statesmen took a nap, sprang
to mis- feet Immediately the reading was fin
ished, and added three moIe by way OF amend
ment Mr.. Foley evidently thought the plan
was TO fight it out with resolutions, and that
they could not have too many OF them
SO there they are: twenty-scven resolutions
OF all sorts and sizes. Some consisting of "a
single paragraphs Others flowing off into
rambling discourse. mixed up with figures and
dates and still others of marsupial .charac-
ter, the original proposition containing whole
belly-full of little resolutions OF "a subsidiary
nature, running from firstly to filthy. The
average Tammany delegate, listening to this
interninable series of resolves, must have ex-
perienced something the same emotions as the
happy father when the nurse showed him his
four little red infants. Good heavenr' lac
easped, d" did any of en- get away Y Twenty
seven resolutions at one convention And

THE CAuPAIGN IN BUAGARId.

The great Russian success in Armenia would
have insured the conquest of the province this
season, if it had occurred month earlier. IL
restores the bcllgcrents to very nearly the
same relative positions which they occupied
at tie beginning of the war. Mukhtar
Pasha's defeat has obliged Ismail Pasha to
turn back from Igdyr, has released Russian
soil from the attempted invasion, and will re-
lease the force collected within the walls OF
Arabian. But Kars remains the same stub
bora obstacle as ever, in the way of a further
advance. 1t Will be Il good Winters work TO
invest it and starve out the garrison. But the
recent battle has broken the Turkish prestige,
and probably indicates the point where the
fortunes of the war in Asia will begin to
change.
The situation in Bulgaria has been most de-
pressing since the cold Autumn rains set IN,
and this victory will bring CLEAN of encour-
agement to the Russian Armies. The circum-
stance that we hear of no further movements
is explained by the strict prohibition applied
to all journal SITS, except when battles occurj
but the condition of the roads would OF itself
render movements on a large scale very dill
cult. Both Russians and Turks must expert
ence equal difficulty in transporting supplies,
and the extent OF further operations this season
depends greatly upon their respective commits
sariats At Pleyna, however, there must be
sufficient stock on hand. The opposite positions
are established there, and cannot be changed
except by a renewal OF the fighting; end this,
in fact, is almost certain to occur very soon.
The correspondent of The London Daily NeuS at
Vienna even mentions to-day the time Sc
Iccted for a new attack but Vienna is not
the most satisfactory centre for news from
Bulgaria, and the weather. or delay in prepare
ton, may delay the battle.
The accounts wo receive of supply trains
sticking helplessly in the deep mud of the
Wallachian roads; of swollen rivers and
drenched camps in Bulgaria; of hospitals fill
ing with fever-paticnts of privation and death,
are very dismal and disheartening. The evils
of such a situation are vastly increased when
the morale of an army has been broken by de-
feat: and new victory, now, would be bet
fer tonic to the thousands Of diseased soldiers
than all the Quinine IN the hospitals The pos
session OF pIevna is even worth more to the
Russians, in this sense than as Strategic
poipt Il has become almost n necessity for
winterine in Bulgaria, and a new struggle
on those blood stained hills cannot be avoided.
Osman Pasha is, no doubt alert and active,
foreseeing what must come: he may DO forced
to retreat, but we do not believe that he will
allow his army to be baggcd, iii the Sedan
fashion

THE STREET and THE SPECTATORS.

Apv boneful Californian or New Yorker who
wants to Inv all the real estate in New-YOrk
ut 81 900. 900 per front foot, can buy quite as
much as he wants, no doubt. IL the Dahhs
will kindly lend him 100000 per front foot,
he can buy great deal in proportion to MS
original capital. Nobody will object, when he
proposes to mark up the price $lOo,0oo or
5000, 900 per foot on the contrary, every
body will be happy. Only, who wants to buy
That is exactly the predicameht in the stock
market. Sundry gentlemen conceived that IL
would be very good thing to put up stocks
n little. Prices were low; crops were large.
There was war in Europe and it was Thought
that some rise in prices would be ultimately
justified. Thcreupon, the hopeful gentlemen
went ont and arranged to borrow money
Mr.. Vanderbilt, 1t has been said, stepped over
to Europe for that purpose; MI Meme
utilized his resources in New-York ana
California and other large operators made
such arrangements as they could Very large
sums of money were provided; enough, 1t was
believed. to take ont of the market very
large share of the floating stock, to put 1t
away for months until prices could be
marked up handsomely, and to reduce the
would venture to "sell short" The scheme
was very successful in fact it succeeded
great deal better than any OF the schemers de-
sired. Stocks were marked mp with great ease
and rapldity. The street stocks were captured,
and rash sellers of small amounts were taught
that il was a dangerous business. But, mean
while, the operators had taken in great deal
OF stock, and for each of them, as Tor
Bulwer's hero. the pertinent question was,
"What will he do with it 2"
II was supposed by the operators that they
could afford to take large part OF the street
stock. and they did But they also supposed
that. as is usual, outside buyers would quickly
come forward, when prices advanced, to take
away their stock at the advanced quotations.
II Is an unpleasant, but very undcniable fact,
that tho outsiders failed to perform their part.
They declined to buy. On the contrary, the
former holders began to sell as soon as the
prices began to rise, and have been selling
ever since. 1t is estimated by competent op-
servers that more than 500, 200 shares OF stock
have been emptied into the street, by invest
ment holders, within the past four months.
This enormous load. in addition to all the
originally contemplated purchases of floating
stock, the operators had to carry.
The amusing part of the business ls that
they have this pleasant load even now, and do
not exactly know what to do with it. The
operators may be said to own half the rail-
WAYS i'm the United States, more or less, prln-
elpally upon borrowed money, and they have
begun to look with some anxiety for buyers.
Mr.. Keene il is believed, has borrowed an

corling to their measure; and yet the stub
born outsider il very backward in coming

(WHICH DEMANDS EXPLANATIONS


1t is observed III an Eastern newspaper, not

complaint has been inspired by Mr. BristOw, or
that 1t is justified by anything that Mr.. Blis-
tow has ever said, or omitted to say or looked
as if he wished TO say. 1t is probably no more
than a manifestation of that needless and
importunate friendship which has dismayed
and embarrassed public men before now. As
the complaint, however, OF leading amateur
reformer Of the metaphysical school, il seems
to us sufficiently remarkable. 1t is urged that
Mr.. Bristow's course during the last Admins
