MAJOR RUNKLE SHOWS FIGHT

He Charges Gen. Beikndp toith BidcIzadtting.
A Washington dispatch states that
Major kunkle has sent to all Senators
what he entities "Ths history of an un-
fair and improper trial, "detailing the IN
justice and illegal action of William w.
Belknap, Secretary of War, in the trial
of BENJAMIN 2. Runkle, major aud breyet
colonel United States army, with docu-
ments from the official records of the
War Department" The principal points
of the pamphlet are as follows: 1t is as
serted that Major Runlae was illegally
arrested; that he requested to be allowed
four months Iime III which to prepare
his defense and was granted only twenty
eight days; that Secretary Belknap coun-
demanded the order of the court grant
ing even that time, and directed the
court to reconvene with the declaration
that no extension of Major Runkle's
time would be authori zed; that the court
at once proceeded, but that upon repre-
sentations made at Washington of the
gross injustice of Secretary Belknap's
action the order directing the court to
proceed was revoked; that the extension
and records of his own office in Washing
ton was refused to MAJOR Runkle by the
Secretary of War; that this refusal was
an act of the most cruel injustice; that
while Gen. Belknap refused permission
to Major Runklc to examine Var De-
partment reports permission was granted
to Gen. o. o. Howard; that all the time
really given to Major Runkle to prepare
his defense was five and a half days, and
that the opportunities he has since had
to search the records have resulted In
finding the proof he required The
pamphlet closes with the following
paragraph. "It also appears that Major
Runkle offered evidence TO prove that
the government prosecution paid one of
the witnesses for his testimony, and pro-
posed to pay another, but the court re-
fused to receive this evidence, and also
refused to admit as evidence in Major
Runkle's favor black-mailing letter
that he had received from one of the
witnesses against him."

HENMED IN BETWEEN TWO
STRONG X JISSIAN COLUMNS.
LONDON, Jan. 1e, 1878.

LONDON, Jan. 1e, 1878.
A correspondent of the N. Y. Herald
yesterday interviewed Sir Charles Dixie
prominent leader among the liberal
party. Sir Charles is neither Turkophlle
nor Russophile. He does not believe
in any line of policy which will make
Intervention In the existing war necessary
He is decidedly opposed to assisting
Turkey. If England is once entangled
she cannot extricate herself
The present Ministry will be certain
to go out in case war is declared. Lord
Beaconsfield will be as unfortunate as
Lord Aberdeen was in his venture into
the Cnmean war. The House of Com
mons will not dare to refuse to vote the
ariappropriations if they are now called
for, as everything seems to indicate that
they will be.
Russian influence in the affairs of
Europe has risen English influence has
declined. The substitution of Greece's
interests for those OF Turkey would be-
come popular in England if it were a
practical scheme.
A Constatinople dispatch announces
that great battle was fought on Mon
day between Tatar- Bazardjik and
Philippopolis. The fighting was resum.
ed yesterday. Suleiman Pacha after
ward took up positions nearer Phiiippo>
polls and ordered the inhabitants to leave
that town. The Russians have reached
Tchirpan, south of Eski Saghra, and are
marching on Jeni- Mahalgre.
PHILIPPoLIs EVACUATED.
Aspecial despatch from Constantinople
reports that Philippopolis is completely
evacuated, and the Turks have ordered it
to be burned. Ajdos and Karnabad have
been burned. The Turkish fleet has
shelled Sebastopol.
TURKEY WATCHING GREECE.
A despatch to the Times from Athens
contains the following GAS Turkish
man-of-war has been cruising off Cerigo
without any known cause the Greek iron
clad George was despatched to enforce
the observance of neutral rights. Passen-
gers, who arrived here to-day Tuesday,,
they heard the firing of cannon near
Cerigo. The government is, however,
ignorant of any engagement.
THE DYING IN ERZERoUM.
A correspondent of the Daily Ne,cs, who
left Erzeroum Just before its investment
telegraphs that the town is now little bet
ter than huge hospital. About hun
dred soldiers die daily and two or three
are frozen to death every night. Typhus
fever is raging. AS the corpses buried are
barely covered with earth the consequence
must be terrible when the thaw commen-

FRANCE AND THE EASTERN
QUESTION.

LONDON, Jan. 15.-Another impor-
tant and significant diplomatic inci>
dent has occurred. Circulars has
been issued from the French Embassy
in London to all the French Consuls
In Great Britain and ireland, charging
them to report exact information con-
cerning the popular feeling on the
Eastern question and intervention.
This confirms the report that France
has interrogated Lord Derby in regard
to England's intentions regarding
Egypt. 1t will be seen, therefore, that
this action of the French Republic
further complicates England's relations
with the Continental Powers.

DEBATE ON THE SILVER CUES
TION.
MAIDEN EFFORT OF THE TALL SYCAMORE
OF TIE WABASH.

WASHINGTON, Jan Is, 1877.
The silver debate will run on in the
Senate for some time. Mr.. Voorhees,
made set speech to-day. He had
large audience, most of the silver men in
the House going over to the Senate to
listen to him, and the most enthusiastic
of them declared, at the conclusion, that
he was their candidate for the Presidency
THE NEW REVENUE BILLS.
Mr.. Voorhees, spoke at length on his
resolution, introduced on the 18th of De-
cember, "that it is of the highest import
ance that the financial credit of the gov
ernment be maintained, and in order to
| do so the government itself, in all its de-
partments, should in good faith keep all
its contracts and obligations entered into
with its own citizens" He declared
that what he termed the "moneyed aris-
tocracy" have thus far triumped in the fl
nancial legislation of the United States,
and that the time had now come when
their victories must be reversed or soon
this government will cease to be republi-
can and the people no longer be free.
The money power, he declared, had now
| assumed manner swollen with arrogance
naughty, defiant, and filed with violence
towards all opponents.
The SilUer Debate In the Senate.
Mr.. Wood excepts to be able to submit
his Tariff bill to the full Committee OF
Ways and Means at the regular meeting
next Tuesday. The subcommittee hav-
ing the internal taxes in charge are not
SO far advanced, and there is an impress
sion that the committee will not agree to
any reduction of the whiskey and tobacco
taxes, though some important modifica-
tions in the method of collecting the
tobacco tax will be agreed to. The pro-
position to lay an income tax will also
meet with a good deal of opposition in
| the committee, but several Western
members are determined to get vote of
| the House on this question.
He believed that our whole financial
system is an organized crime against the
| laboring, tax-paying men and women of
| the United States. The great plea of the
present hour for this continuation of
wrong and injustice is that '.good faith"
requires it. Good faith, in the estimation
of those who profit by outrage, requires
| 1t to remain there forever. This plea has
been invoked in behalf of every wicked
ness that ever cursed the world. Mr..
Voorhees, argued at length to show that
while it of the highest Importance to
maintain our financial credit, it can only
| be done by the government keeping all
its contracts and obligations with its own
citizens.
AS Mr.. Voorhees, finished speaking a
large bouquet was placed upon his table.
He was soon surrounded by many Sena-
tors to tender their congratulations, and
for a few minutes business was entirely
suspended.l

has been confined to his room for some
time, and his death was not unexpected

has for several years sought to represent
this county in the Legislature, but his
aspirations have never been gratified by
the people. He was for several years in

administration of that department, and
just before the close of Col. Webster's
term married daughter of the late Col
Lemuel Roberts, and has since resided
