SOFIA TO BE AnASDoSEp.

London, Jan. 4.-From letters written by
Lady Strangford, supe,in.ending the hospi-
tails at Soft :, it would appear that the Turks
had determined not to a.temp. to hold the
place. Lady S,rangford writes that she
will remain, and believes to be able to con.
tinue her duties without interruption or an
noyance. The Turkish nurses have agreed
TO stay. What was feared, was disorder in
town, but the Turks have gone away quietly,
and there is not the slighcst panic, noise
or trouble The town will be taken without
resistance. This coincedes with the infor
nation from the Turkish side, about move
men Of their forces. All the garrsons
in exposed positions beyond Sofia have been
gradually withdrawn and concentrated at
Ikhtiman.
A HARD FIGHT.
The forces at Kamarli seemed to have
been surprised and endangered by Rus

ST. Petersburg, jan. "A semi-official
Russian dispatch says: "Thc reply to the

policy was still guided by the paramount con-
slaeration Of putting an end 10 the constant

known that their interests are no more men

Russia then reserved the contingency OF

noplc. 1t depends on England to avert this
contingency by divesting the porte of any
illusion respecting English support 1t is
evident that if the porte has ground to hope
that the entry OF the Russians into Cor.

The much discussed subject of English spell
ing acquires Importance from the growing in
tiuence of our language. and the necessity for
certain reforms in its photography before it's
true position among the languages of the
world can be obtained. There is movement
on foot among the school boards in England,
which has gained considerable Roadway, to
obtain the appointment by the government of
a commission. composed of some of the best
classical and English scholars of the country
to reform and fix English spelling. 1t is
very doubtful whether the plan, if car
ried out would have the result designed
But all efforts in this direction are valuable,
as tending to form public opinion which will
eventually bring the matter to a decision.
With few exceptions, due mainly to the pre-
yailing tendency in this country to do away
with unprOnOuneed letters in certain classes
of words, the British and American OrthOgra-
phieS are identical; so the labOrS of the pro-
posed commission will be as interesting and
inStructiye.to US as to the English, and we may.
moreover be treated to some entertaining
reading on certain American innovations
which shock conservative England. All
schemes for the adjustment of our common
language will receive the encouragement and
if necessary or expedient, the cooperation of
Thoughtful Americans.

The constant stream of Russian troops pour
ing into Bulgaria, the forces massing in Rou-
mania, the creation of forty four fresh battal-
ions, and the tone of the Cars speech at the
review of troops in st. Petersburg, all indicate
that Russia does not look for immediate peace.
AL the great powers except Russia have ac-
cepted Austria's invitation to European
congress, and as Russia has already assented
to the principle involved, her formal adhesion
may be confidently expected. But peace con-
ferences do not always make peace. England
will enter the congress with her hands
strengthened by the supplementary vote, and
Austria has definite and decided opinions on
some of the questions to be discussed, and, If
we may Judge from her present unexpected
frmneSs, will present them with vigOr.

To Correspondents.
Certainly an Economical Govern.


The published petition in behalf of the re-
yiyal of suffrage here speaks of our commits
sion government as Oppressive" "eXtrava-
CANT and unnecessarily expensive" and the
vague manner i'm which allusion is made to
the public debt is calculated to convey to the
reader the impression that ii has been largely
increased by the present authorities. In the
interests of justice and fair dealing, we re-
print some of the figures from Auditor Vim
sons exhibit of receipts and expenditures Gov
ering the period from June 90 1874, 1.-THE date
of the organization of the commission govern
ment to November 1st, 1877. During that
time there was received from taxes, So 30 26S 81.

This means that had there been no debts when
the Commissioners came into office, they could
have conducted the government as they have
done, paying all expenses from the revenues
of the District, unaided by Congress, and had
now in the treasury ss2S, 733, or money enough
to replace all the rotten pavements with good
concrete or Belgian stone blocks. The net
appropriations by Congress during the time
named amounting to ISIS, 1858 for District
purposes, have all been expended on account
of debts existing and due when the Commits
SiOners came into office, and of debts and in
terest growing out of obligations of former
District governments.

Whatever else may happen upon the re-
monetizatiOn of silver there can be no doubt it
will be a fearful nuisance in trade. Even now
our business men find it a great drug upon
their hands. 1t is quite play of tactics on the
part of customers to relieve their pockets of
the weight of it in payment for purchases,
and of dealers 10 relieve their cash drawers of
il in making change. The banks do not take
silver except as special deposit, and viii not,
should the silver bill pass, as the legal tender
clause will not affect them. 1t will evidently be
