LONDON, July 4. The Times Bucha-
rest correspondent says: "Of eighteen
gunboats and monitors which were on
the Danube at the commencement of the
war, six are in small bay near Sulina.
Two have been destroyed. Three or four
are aground at Vatchin, two at Silistria,
one at Turtukai, two at Rustchuk and
one at Nikopolis. The latter is reported
surrounded by torpedos and is helpless.
All on the Danube will fall into the
hands of the Russians unless destroyed.
After the successful crossing of the
Danube, the Gar issued a proclamation
to the Bulgarians. part of which is as
follows:
"My troops have crossed the Danube.
To-day they enter your territory, where
they have already several times fought
for the amelioration of the lot of the
Christian inhabitants of Turkey. Rus
STA still bears the same love and solicit
tude toward all Christians in Turkey
as when she secured the liberation of
Servia and Roumania. 1 have confded
to my army the mission ofsecuring the
sacred rights of your nationality, which
you have acquired by centuries of suffer-
ing and the blood of martyrs which has
soaked your soil. Russia's mission is
to build up, not to destroy. She is
called by the DEGREES of Providence tc
conciliate and pacify all races and de-
nominations in those parts of Bulgaria
inhabited by mixed population. Hence
forth the Russian arms will protect ev
cry Christian against all violence. No
vengeance, but strict equity, will guide
our acts"
The proclamation closes:
Follow faithfully the instructions o
the Russian authorities. Therein lie
your strength and security. With hu
mility, l pray the Lord to grant us vic
tory over the enemies of Christianit
and to send down his blessings upo

The Government balance-sheet at the
close Of the fiscal year is much more
favorable one than might have been ex-
pected. The decrease of the public debt
reaches a total of thirty-nine millions
more than the amount necessary to meet
the requirements of the sinking fund and
some thirteen millions in excess of the
amount estimated by Secretary Morrill,
last December. The receipts from Gus
toms exceed the estimates then made by
three millions, while those from internal
revenue fall two millions short oe the
amount expected. AS compared with
last year, the receipts from Customs have
fallen off eighteen millions of dollars,
or II l-9 per cent, while the internal
taxation has yielded about two millions
more. The stock Of gold in the Treas
ury against which there is no liabilities
amounts to over fourteen millions-not
a very long step toward an accumulation
Of say hundred millions. but still q
decided improvement on the two million
reserve Of year ago. While the i'm
proved condition Of the Treasury is part
ly due to postponed obligations and acci
dental sources of income, some of i
must be attributed to gradual improve
ment in the import trade of the country
and to more effective methods of collect
ing revenue.

If any doubt has heretofore existed as
to the ability of the Democrats to elect
their speaker and control the organiza-

the list, will have eight majority. There
are twelve contested cases reported in

FOUR MONTHS OF HAYES.

1t has now been a little more than
four months since President Hayes was
inaugurated and took the reins of gov
eminent. During that time enough of
his policy has been shown and foreshad-
owed to indicate the course he has mark
ed out for his administration. In his
selection of Cabinet he showed great |
independence and wisdom. He selected |
several of his political enemies, and
chose one man, rank Democrat and a
former rebel, as one of his advisers.
That having been done and the new
officers set at work in their various de-
partments, the very perplexing and dan
gerous questions relative to the rival
governorships of several Southern States
were grappled with and settled for the
time being, by withdrawing the o. s.
army from the State capitals.
Since that time the attention of the
President has been given to ''civil service
REFORM" ard through the several heads
of departments a very rigorous examin-
alton and overhauling has been done.
In many cases, large numbers of super
numeraries have been discharged, new
officers have been appointed and gen.
eral cutting down of expenses has been
going on.
A few days ago the President notified
all government officers that they were
not to participate in politics, that is, in
the management of conventions, caucuses,
elections, etc. This last order is caus-
ing an immense amount of bowling all
, over the land among the machine poll
ticians, and as far out as in the strong

All trustworthy news of the fighting
which is evidently in progress on the
right bank of the Danube is being sue
cessfully suppressed. 1t is obvious that
the overwhelming weight of men and
metal is against the Turks, and that a
retreat to their second line Of defense is
o question of but short time. It is
equally obvious that the Turkish sue
cesses in Asia have been of rather de-
cided kind. and that the war party in
Constantinople have been greatly
strengthened thereby. Meanwhile, Aus
tria and England are looking on with
equal suspicion and uneasiness, and are
ready to seize the earliest opportunity
for diplomatic mediation. Russia would
evidently prefer to dictate the terms Of
peace from COnstantinople, but until the
tenacity of the Turkish resistance north
of the Balkans has been fairly tested,
speculation is wasted as to the temper
in which either OF both the combatants
would be prepared to listen to overtures
for a settlement at any point short Of
decisive victory on one side and crush
ing defeat on the other.

THE FINANCES OF THE NATION.

The debt statement for June shows
decrease in the public debt for the month
of nearly S3,25O.OOO, and for the fiscal
year $39,291, 1872. This is over &c.,
100000 in excess of the reduction made
the preceding fiscal year, and fully &c.
100000 in excess of the amount required
to pay the sinking fund. The coin bal
ances, after deducting coin certificates,
accrued debt, and interest, is S17, 183,-
403. Of this amount $685. 02 is
subsidiary silver coins, which being de-
Quoted leave the actual gold balances
against which there are no liabilities
$14,315,3O1. Compared with the same
period of last year, the gold balance
shows an increase of about Sl2, 00O,O00
The currency balance is nearly &c.,
100000. of which about one-half is held
for the redemption of fractional currency.
The reduction in legal tenders for the
month was $648,248, and for the year
more than $1O,OOO,OO0. The reduction
in fractional currency for the month was
$S03,793, and for the year over S14,-
100000. The amount of fractional
currency reported by the commission to
have been lost (s8,O00,0oO has not
been deducted from the amount outstand-
ing, which is now reported to be less
than $2O,5Oo,0OO.
During the year there has been made
in the amount necessary to pay the an
nual interest on the public debt, as a
result of the funding operations, a re-
duction of $l,943,6
The aggregate receipts for the fiscal
year were 71,325,677, which were
made up as follows: From Customs,
$130,439,419 from internal revenue,
Sis, 438, 278; from miscellaneous sourc-
es, $22, 447,9SO. Compared with last
year, this shows falling off in the rev.
enue of over SIC, 100000. The receipts
from Customs fell off over $17, 100000,
and the internal revenue receipts increas-
ed about 100000. The ordinary
expenditures were $l46,454, 432, which
is nearly Sl2,O0O,000 less than the ex.
penditures for the preceding fiscal year
These figures do not include interest OF

to learn the Presidents intentions to-

Republican State Convention at Des
