concerned in 1t. the Democratic Convention of

rcnomlnated Mr.. MILES lioss-one ofthe Demo-

serving his second term in the House. He has

In the absence from town of W. II. WEBB.
Esq. the Chairman of the so-called Council OF
Political Reform the secretary OF that body has
undertaken 10 furnish US with a justification OF
the charge recently made by the Council against
the trustees OF the brooklyn Bridge OF deceiv-
ing the public with regard to the ultimate cost
Of the structure. In letter to the Board of
Apporionment Of this city. dated Aug. l6. 1878.
and signed on behalf Of the Council by Mr..
WEBB. this sentence occurs:
"mdepcndcnt OF the questo Of legality the Council Of
Reform has presented d'HsN, ,iie"o, that the bridge
Will cost many millions approaching ss.ocptrn 10
slnonoN in addition To the $4,000 allowed by tie
act OF the Legislature OF 1879
This being plain assertion that. whereas the
trustees Of the bridge say that II will cost less
than sli. 900 600 undeniable evidence shows
that 1t will cost from slG.O00O00 to tls 100000.
we called, in the public interest for the produc-
ton OF the evidence referred to. In response
we are furnished with estimates by two en-
gineers not employed upon the bridge. who say
tnat the work cannot be completed for the sum
named by the trustees. Now estimates 10y ire
sponsiblc persons are very far from being un-
dcniable evidence and unless the Council has
better proof than this. Mr.. WEBB as a gentle
man, ought to disclaim the imputaton he is
apparently made 10 cast upon the trustees OF
the bridge. As to the minor question OF Mr.
EoEBLINGs estimates in 1867. the Council is
clearly wrong in saying that they were
s1.ODO.OO0. They were nearly IS 900 900. with
out counting the land for the approaches.

The Basis of the Peace Treaty

There has already been given the Of
fetal statement of the preliminary con-
ditions of peace agreed upon between
Russia and Turkey at Adrianople. The
protocol signed at Adrianople embraces
the points of the Russian demand, and
that Turkey is willing to concede. They
are to serve as basis for the treaty
which has yet to be concluded, and
which is therefore subject to such mod
ifications as Russia may yet be willing
to make at the instance of Turkey, or by
reason of the pressure put upon her by
the neutral powers. The rumor that
Russia would ipsist upon the restoration
of that part of Bessarabia which was
taken from her by the treaty of Paris
aud assigned TO Roumania, thereby cut
ting off Russia from all control Of the
mouths of the Danube, does not appear
to be confirmed. None of the points of
the protocol cover this retrocessioD.
There is only one point that may give
rise to serious discussion when the con-
gress of the neutral powers which Aus
tria has called meets to consider the
terms of the treaty. The point to which
we allude is the one which provides
vaguely for Gan ulteriOr understanding
between the Sultan and the Czar" re-
garding the Dardanelles. This strait,
which connects the waters OF the Grecian
archipelago with the sea of Marmora,
and passing thence by the strait of the
Bosphorus into the Black sea, Is suppos-
ed TO take its name frem the four castles
on its banks, which, with the modern
Notifications, constitute the defense OF
| Constantinople. 10 which the strait of
Dardenelles is the key. The strait is
forty miles in length, varying in width
from one to four miles, and lying as it
does wholly within the dominions OF
Turkey, has been closed against the yes
sells of war of other powers-more
against Russia, perhaps, than others.
