A Vienna correspondent says: The full
text of the treaty of San Stefano, has renewed
strong anti Russian feeling. There is no
difference of opinion about the real meaning
of the treaty 1t is not Russian prepondence
but Russian rule in European Turkey and
is just because, such alteration as would re-
move this feature would entirely destroy the
efficacy of the congress since the publication.

of the entire treaty, he will decline to do so in

terest is not identical.
The postmaster general has issued an
order amending the regulation of the depart
ment governing the transmission of printed
matter, which is very important in its bear
ings, inasmuch as it over-rules the long es-

tofore nothing but business card was per-
mitted upon a wrapper of printed matter.
The postmaster general now has given in
structions that any matter, the imprint of
which may be transmitted within the in

rate, if printed on the wrapper or envelope.
This includes business cards and directionsfor

den and Ewing which recently visited New
York for the purpose of ascertaining the pres
ent condition of the sub treasury in that city
with regard to the amount of gold held there
belonging to the United States government
and to others, and with the view of comforting
with certain financial gentlemen regarding
the practicability of the proposed resumption
of specie payments on January LIST next. The
following are the substantial points Of the re-
port. The bankers were of opinion that re-
sumption at the earliest possible moment was
not only consistent with the public welfare,
but was Of the greatest Importance to the
best prosperity of the country. Also that
resumption on the first of January, 1879, might
be made practical and safe if adequate meas
ures should be adopted; but all who express
ed themselves on the subject were agreed that
the plans of the secretary of the treasury were
inadequate, and that if he should make an
attempt to resume on the first of January, un-
der such circumstances as are likely to exist
at that time, the attempt would most probably
fail They were Of opinion that the remone-
tizatien of silver had seriously interfered with
the probabilities of resumption at the time
