moonlight charge of the Household
Cavalry and the Dragon Guards,
which charged the guns of the enemy,
sabred the gunners, and would have
captured the guns, but that they
could moi find them again after their
charge, and left them to be secured
in the morning. They were, how
ever, carried off by the enemy dur
ing the night, though the ammunition
was left scattered on the ground.
General Graham's ammunition is
said to have given out before the
end of the skirmish, which points to
q certain want of care, for advanced
guards at all events ought to be well
supplied with ammunition. Previous
to this battle, Mahmoud Fehmy, the
chief military engineer of Arab, had
been captured at Kassossin Lock,
and the enemy so deprived Of its
most scientific and also most unscru-
pulous officer. Warm congratulate
tons on the imaginary victories which
he had reported to Arab and to Cairo
were, it is said, found upon his person,
The Military Convention between
Turkey and England is not yet con-
cluded, and hangs fire, apparently,
on two points, the proclamation Of
Arab as a traitor, to which the Sui
tan had agreed, but from which he is
always trying to be excused and the
question of the landing, which the
English say must not be at AIcxan-
dria, while the Turks insist that it
either should lie, or, at least, may be,
at Alexandria, fiji is found unsafe to
land at Aboukir, as it well might be.
1t is not very easy to Judge whether
either the Sultan or the English Am
bassador is serious in the intention to
sign this Convention. The farce Of
pretending that the negotiation is ON
the very verge Of completion appears
TO have gone on very cheerfulIy for a
fortnight at least, but there has been
no completion and probably Lord
Duferin will soon declare that the
time for it has past, and that the
British Government must now do
alone what the Turks declined, at
the moment OF difficulty, to help us to
do. Besides, the tradition of the Porte
is diIatorincss; the only thing the
Turk has learned to do well is to kill
time, and in this case there are such
serious dangers in action, that we can
not expect action at all.

more than all his Bedouins.
The Porte's negotiation with Lord
Dufferin for the conclusion of a mill
tary convention, which is, we trust,
never to come into operation, contin-
ues; and the last demands said to
have been made on England are
the8e,-that the Turkish troops
should land at Alexandria, and that
Arab is not to be proclaimed a rebel,
but only summoned in a fatherly
way to lay down his arms, and sub
nit to the Khediye's authority. We
should not suppose that Lord Dufferin
will agreeto either demand j; but he
has quite rightly referred home for
instructions, which may, perhaps, be
a little delayed in arriving, as Lord
Granville, who is at Walmer, may
find it necessary to 60 up to town
before replying, 1t is amusing to see
the SuItan's desire that Arab should
be dealt with mildly. Of curse it is
awkward-frSt decorating a man for
his actions, and then proclaiming him
a rebel for the very actions for which
you decorated him but hat is an
awkwardness subjective to the Sui
tan, and ought not to be allowed to
interfere with the English object of
getting Arab discredited among the
Mahommodans by Mahommedan au-
thority itself.

Turkey and Greece have had a
brush Mt ZorbaS, ON the northern from
tier of Thcssaly, where the new Turk
ish frontier meets the Greek frontier.
There was considerable fighting
there on Sunday and Monday, each
side alleging, of course, that the fault
lay with the other side. On We'd
pesday, the orders from Constantine
pie and from Athens had put an end
to the fighting but on Thursday the
conflict was resumed, and these are
the sort of sparks which often kindIe
great confagrationS. 1t is very ma
tural that the Turks, who have SO re-
Gently evacuated Thessaly, should be
Jealous of the Power that has dis
placed them and also that the Greek
who have so recently occupied that
country, should be jealous of the
secret warnings of the Turks to ex-
pei them from then acquisition. 1t
is, indeed, rather a matter for regret
that there is no non-conductor of ma
tional jealousy in which Europe
could sheathe the frontier between
races so little likely to dwell together
in peace IS the Turk and the Greeks.
AS that cannot be, perhaps Turkey
would do well not to send troops to
Egypt which she may so soon stand

Sir Garnet WoIseley, advancing
through the land of Goshen, has
fought the enemy twice during the
week of which we have now the re-
cord;-Once, when he was attacking,
on the Oath and 25th (Thursday and
Friday in last week., between Ramses
and Mahuta, on the line of rail to Za-
gazig and again on Monday, when
attacked by Arabs in force at Kas-
sassin Lock, about four miles further
on than Mahuta, on the same line.
In both cases, Sir Garnets troops
came off with q substantial victory
and very little relative loss, though
in the latter engagement, in which a
picked regiment from Cairo led the
attack, the fighting was much better
than on the former occasion, Our ad-
II guard being at first taken by
surprise, Even the latter engagement,
however must rank only as a skIrmish,
when compared with great battles.
Our casualties were some hundred
killed and wounded at most, with
a very small number killed; and
though the losses of the enemy were
much greater, hat means not q bat
tie, but a skirmish, Notwithstanding
that, like many an other skirmish, it
had important results in opening the
advance. On the side of Alexandria,
we have at present news only of
General ElamIey and his division
having left for the front, though
whether the front means the old ad-
vance from IsmaiIia, or a new line
of advance from K%antara, to the
north Of Ismailia, we do not yet
know.
, 1882-09-23

The skirmish of Monday was a
more serious affair. The advance
guard, under General Graham, was
at Kassassin Lock, on the Sweetwater
Canal,-a good deal in advance of
the rest Of the troops. The English,
tired out by feints of attack during
the heat of the day, were heavily at
tackled in that exhausted condition,
in the afternoon, soon after three
O'Clock. The Standard and Telegraph,

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Feb. %. There is
nc longer any question of the vigor of
the S%tar-route prosecutions least OF
all do the members of the Star-route
ring complain of any lack of energy
on the part of the government. Mr..
MacVeagh, who abandoned the de-
partment ofjustice and the Star-route
cases at a critical moment, upon the
pretense that the administration was
not serious in its announced purpose
to prosecute the Star thieves, is here
and has an opportunity to contrast
the method of his own administration
with the energy which has brought
the distinguished conspirators to the
dock.
1t is rumored that the President
will nominate Fitz-John Porter as a
Colonel of infantry, in the regular
army, tofll the first vacancy.
The House Committee On Naval
Affairs has agreed upon the outlines
of the bill providing for the construc-
ton of ships of war including six steel

Means has decided in favor of remov-
ing the discriminating duty Of ten per

Mr.. Blaine's EuIogy on Garfield.

MI. Blaine's euology upon President
Garfield, pronounced Monday in the
hall of the House of Representatives,
is a clear, compact and discriminating
review of the life, character and SER
vices of a man whom the nation has
mourned as it has no man since Lin
coin died.. A large part of his address
is a sketch, rapid yet detailed, of the
leading events in Garfield's life. The
sturdy, liberty-loving ancestry from
which he sprang; the independent
poverty into which he was born and
through which he made his way the
educational influences which trained
his mind and fitted him for his work !;
the brilliant achievements of his mill
tary career ; his long, laborieus and
faithful service in the House the love
of his constituents, the trust of his
country, the breadth, variety and val
ne of his contributions to debate and
his influence in shaping the laws the
circumstances Of his elevation to the
Presidency, the few months of his Adj
ministraton and his tragic death-all
these are touched upon by Mr.. Blaine
with excellent discrimination. The
temper of the whole address is true,
reverent and just.-JOurndl.

Placing Gen. Grant on the Retired
List.

Senator Logan's bill to restore Gen.
Grant to the army register, and place
him on the retired list with the rank
of general, was passed, Thursday, by
the Senate, the vote standing 35 to
II, all of the republicans and six dem
ocrats voting for the bill. There was
some debate before the bill was pass
ed, but the attempt to make the issue
strictly political was not successful.
Senator Hoar voiced the popular sen
timent in saying that he should vote
for the bill, not to reward Grant as a
politician, but to pay a tribute to his
military renown. 1t is expected that
the hill will be passed by the house
without much trouble. AS the
pay of retired officers is three-fourths
that of the rank when retired, Gen.
Grant will receive a yearly salary of
S10,125, and people who have not
forgotten the four years of fighting
will agree that he earned his money
by strict attention to business and a
faithful devotion to the interests of
his employers.
