"Freedom's battle, once begun,


Beuueathed from bleeding sire to son,


Though baffled oft, is ever won."
Thus wrote Byron Of Greece half CEN
tury ago. We venture to apply it to the
Christian people Of Turkey, as the war in
Bulgaria is essentially war for freedom
for the abasement of the vilest and most
immoral tyranny that ever existed in Eu-
rope. The Russians and Bulgarians are
the true crusaders in the cause of right, for
the elevation of woman, and the extirpa-
ton of human slavery. They are fighting
for the native people of the land against its
enslavers and robbers, who are strangers
there. Some writer's affect to sneer at the
motives of Russia, and sympa,hize with
the Turk as one fighting for his own lard
An able writer thus puts that view Of the
ouestion:-"It must, then, be fully under
stood that the Turk is not fighting for his
own home or his own country. He il
fighting for the right to play the tyrant--
to play the Turk-in the homes of othel
men. He is fighting to guard his spoil'
from their lawful owners. He fights in or
der that he may keep the power of unre
rrained murder, robbery and outrage owe
as large part of the earth'' surface as h
can. To the fine ladies and gentlemen o
England and to the Duke who talk

ers, who are winding up the bank af-
fairs, to purchase at public or private
sale, real estate mortgaged to the bank.
These real estate liens are mostly in this
city, and as land has hardly any market
value at this time it has been found i'm
possible to realize on them. The in
cengruity Of the governments buying
what real estate the bank has, and at
the same time authorizing the bank to
buy more, seems to have escaped the
attention Of Congress. In another year
Congress may be asked to buy what
ever real estate shall ID the meantime
have purchased. 1t looks like a thin
game to make the people of the United
States pay the debts of the swindling
carpet baggers, who run the institution

The subject Of bank taxation is very
ably presented in the report Of the
Comptroller. So much public interest
has been excited by this topic that it
demands complete discussion. A petit
ton to Congress is in preparation pray
ing for the repeal Of such bank taxes as
are the most productive of evil, and as
there is a growing conviction in favor
Of the repeal Of these imposts, the petit
ton, we suppose, will receive large
number of signatures in all parts Of the
country. 4 The recent deci-
sions of the courts are regarded by
many persons as conclusively settling
the question, that the only immediate
relief to be at present obtained by the
banks from their oppressive fiscal bur
dens must be sought from Congress

The secret sessions Of the Electoral
Commission gives Congress its only
chance to transact ordinary business.
Yesterday the Senate and House had
long legislative sessions and although
little was completed much of that pre-

bodies was done. The Senate refused

bill abolishing the Police Board Of this
district The resignation from the
board Of Murtagh, who was the most
obnoxious of its members, aud who has
been shown to have used the police force
to break down private character and
prevent the execution of the law, saved
the board from apnihilation. In the
Senate there was much discussion of the
bill to amend the Pacific Railroad acts
so as to create sinking fund for the
payment of their indebtedness to the
government. No final action was ta-

the bill will pass The Union Of this

The death ofMRs. MARY L. COCHRAN, briei
notice of which appeared in the TRANSCRIPT,
on the 9th ult., saddened the hearts of a large
circle of friends and relations. For though in
feeble health for many years, and often great
sufferer, no one took livelier interest in, or
contributed more generally to the welfare and
happiness of others than she; and to those
who were privileged to enjoy intimate ac-
quainiance with her, her departure is a sore
bereavement.


One of the most conspicuous traits of this
most estimabls lady's character, WAS her utter
self-ahnegation. Little cared she for herself /;
but nothing that could promote the well-being
and enjoyment of those who were associated
with, or dependent upon her, was omitted.
Physically frail and the subject of protracted
disease, she, nevertheless. exhibited in the
discharge of her household and other duties
ndomitable energy and industry. Her world
was her home, and in that sphere her cheer
iulness and sprightliness of disposition and
geniality Of temper and manners shone with
conspicuous splendor. Hence, 10 her family,
whose hearts have been so severely wrung by
this Overwhelming affection, she was a living
fountain Of genuine happiness Kind and
gentle 10 all, her particular delight was found

strength of attachment.


Her domestic duties, as the mother of
large family, were numerous and arduous, bu
they were always promptly met. and cheer
fully and faithfully discharged. Having sur
viyed the greater number of her children, she
was woman acquainted with grief'; but
the religious principles which had been early
planted in her heart, and dominated her
thoughts and actions, sustained her, and ena-
bled 1er TO manifest that cheerful resignation
TO the affective dispensation of Providence,
which can only spring from the christians
philosophy. She was able TO say with job:
Though He slay me, yet will trust in Him. ="


And when the last dread messenger came,
he brought no ierrors for her As in her life,
so in her death she was the confident believer
and calmly and peacefully as the closing of a
summer day, she fell asleep on earth to awake
in Heaven


"Asleep in Jesus! peaceful restl


When waking is supremely blestn


She has gone to rest, but she has left as a

ton to the advertising of Sheriff. 8 sales,

meets with general approval. Its good
effects are already perceptible in the

NEW YORK, June 20.-The exclusion
of Joseph SelIgman from the Grand
Union Hotel at Ssrstoga, on the ground
of bis being Jew, continues to excite
great public interest and to be the topic
of conversation among citizens OF all
classes. His brother, Jesse Seligmsn,
when questioned this morning in regard
to the proposed public meeting on the
subject, said he understood some Christ
tian gentlemen were taking steps to cal
q meeting of that character, but he hsd
no definite information on the matter. He
thought it very unlikely that any meas.
ures would be taken to institute legal
proceedings against Judge Hilton under
the civil rights act. What he wished
impressed on the public was the fact that
this was not q personal controversy be-
tween mis- brother and Judge Hilton. His
brother was excluded from the Grand
Union Hotel on the ground that q rule
had been made excluding all OF his race.
Judge Hilton, Seligmsn thought, ought
to say frankly whether he had establish.
ed the rule in question.


Judge Hilton was in his wholesale
store rs usual this morning, and what is
not usual, was surrounded BY reporters.
He gave them five minutes. He said:
"Whst 1 have done have done in what
l conceive to be my duty in the protec-
tion OF the interests OF the property in
my charge. There is class of people
whom | will not hive in the hotel,

see how this concerns the general
public. Every respectable hotel has
the right to exercise discrimination in
accepting guests and l have simply exer-
cised my judgment in that way. So far
as the damage to my business Is concern
ed, we have received 70 formidable over
tures OF ruin. A few accounts, not At
present exceeding $500 IN total value,
have been ordered closed, and we have

and of the views / estertain. Numerous
