The following from tho Pittsburg Gazette,
contains so much sense, that we repro
duce It :
WHO ARE THE DEMAGOGUES ?
Wo clip from tho Philadelphia Press, one
of the strongest Administration organs iu
the State, the followiug :
"Strange that Democrats, who at first
clamored for jus, such a policy as tho Presi
dent has adopted, should now hail it mere
ly as a possible means of causing such dissen
sion in the Republican ranks. But then
perhaps their protestations were but the
Jcmpty pleas of demagogues."
This from a newtpaper which during the
last Presidential campaign was one ot the
loudest in its denunciation of what it now
calls the policy "for which the Democrats
have always been clamoring." In that po
litical struggle the Democratic Southern
policy was made tho great issue, to the ex
clusion of almost every other party question,
and the Press was among the most extreme
Republicans. Were Its "original protesta
tions but tbo empty pleas of a demagogue,"
or is it now fawning for favors?
,rWe believe that the great mass of Repub
licans who are unwilling to follow those who
hare discarded principle for policy in the
vain hope of strengthening the party, were
sincere in their course during the last cam
paign, an i that they will not be deceived in
a name. If they had favored the principles
advocate' y Sir. Tilden's party they would
havesupi ted Air. Tilden, and we shall be
disappoin.i-d if our Republican State con
vention i .proves tho dangerous departure of
the Aural istration,, Irom the time-honored
principles ,f the party which placed it in
power.
There i talk of what is called a "green
back" pa ty. Cui bono 1 What good can
such a pa ly accomplish ? If it could elect
the Audit r General, State Treasurer and
Judge of tho Supreme Court, what would it
all come to ? None of the ollicers to be
chosen at the approaching election can have
any thing to do with legislation on the fi
nancial question, and so far as the moral
effect of a "greenback" victory, (if such a
thing were possible) is concerned, it would
be lost upon a congress elected upon national
platforms which did not endorse the notions
of the "greenback" men. The idea of those
who advocate the issue of more legal ten
ders is that the more "greenbacks" the gov
ernment prints the more money will be
brought into .circulation. We will not ar
gue the point as to the soundness or un
soundness of this theory, for it is not uec
essary to our purpose that wo should. We
will simply stato a fact which will satisfy
any reasonable mind that the printing of
paper money by the government is not the
best and surest way of bringing about an
abundanco of the circulating medium. At
present millions of dollars in gold, both in
bullion and in coin, are exported and sent
abroad in payment of the foreign liabilities
of our importers. Why 1 Jlecause our
commerce hat been destroyed. Restore our
commerce and the products of our furnaces,
our factories, our rolling-mills, our machine
shops, will be exported instead of the gold
which will then remain here and increase
the volume of our circulating medium. Pull
down the Chinese wall of tho prohibitory
tariff which Bhuts us out from the trade of
the world, and our cotton goods, our cutlery,
our pig iron, our steel rails, our shovels, our
nails, our machines of every description will
become our currency tho world over.

Mean slavery, has concluded a convention
witl? Egypt for the abolition of the slave
trade in'the latter country, which is likely
to put an end to the whole business. The
influence of English and American officers
in the service of. tho Khedive is manifested
in the stringent provisions of the convention,
for the Khedive engages himself to abolish
all private traffic in slaves in Egypt within
seven years,and similar traffic In tho Soudan

the eflbit made on all sides to bring them

KEPUlildCAN STATE CONVENTION.
A telegram from Ilarrisburg informs us
that the Republican State Conventlou met

Judgd 3. P. Slerrctt of Pittsburg was tiomi

ilxtrnr-t from Jiiilce- Kin ell's fliarce to the
(iraml Jury, Delivered Sept. 3, 1877.
Since this Court last convened, tho quiet
and peace of this Comuionncalth andoftho
whole conntry have U-en disturbed ostensibly
in tho ihtetesl of libnr, but iu fact by tramp
ling upon tho rights of labor. In nil portions
of this Commonwealth tho consequences of
this disturbance liavo been severely felt. All
industrial interests havo been moro or loss ef
fected by it. And even now the presence of
tho military of tho Stato and of tho Army of
the United Stares is necessary in homo locali
ties for the preservation of the public peace.
Happily tho County of Columbia, although n
largo mining district is within its borders, has
not suffered from the evil consequent upon
this stato of affairs except by tliogeucral stag
nation of business produced thereby.
It is not my puriwse at this timo to discuss
any question in regard to the bardiics of the
times, nor tho caues nor to suggest remedies.
Wo know that tin business of tho country
has been disturbed that it is tlifficult for men
who aro willing to work at nil times to find
employment at such compensation as they
may desire.
In regard to the rights of labor I had tho
honor upon a former occasion and in this ca
pacity to express my opinion which was then
accepted both by employees and laborers as a
nilo or action. 1 then held as 1 now hold
that it is unlawful for any person or associa
tion of persons by violence, threats, or other
coercive means, to prevent auy miners or oth
er laborers from working when they please,
for whom they pleaso, and at such wages as
they please. And it is nliko unlawful by such
violence or threats to deter or prevent any
person from employing whomsoever ho may
chooso to employ, and at such wages as may
bo agreed upon between the employer and
tho person employed.
An act of Assembly was passed in 1872,
relieving from prosecution for conspiracy per
sons belonging to'societics and refusing to
work, contrary to tho rules and by-laws of
such societies ; but it is therein expressly
provided, that persons who shall in any way
hinder others who desiro to labor for their
employers from such labor, shall bo liable to
criminal prosecutions for a misdemeanor.
Both the common law and the statute of
Pennsylvania aro designed to protect persons
who aro desirous of laboring from interfer
ence by those who determine that they will
not labor ; and tho common law offense of
conspiracy still exists in this State when per
sons, by any of the means mentioned, combino
to prevent persons from laboring who desiro
to labor. We may feel, and do, deep sympa
thy for those who aro tinablo to find work, or
who, finding work, cannot obtain remunera
tive prices ; but we cannot, and ought not, to
sympathize with those who, for the purposo
of carrying out their ends, seek to interfere
with tho rights of others. When that inter
ference is carried to tho extent of tho destruc
tion of property, of tho means of producing,
then it becomes highly criminal and subjects
the parties guilty to the severest retribution
of the law."
Mr. Cornell Standing on Solid Around.
The Hon. A. 1$. Cornell, Naval Officer of
this port, refuses to pay any attention to the
recent ex c itive order commanding the hold
ers of office under the National Administra
tion to take no active part in politics. lie
has not offered to resign his place in the
Custom House establishment, and only a
few days since the call for our Republican
State Convention made its appearance bear
ing his well-known signature.
It has long been known that Mr. Cornell
would take this course, and it has been sup
posed that the fraudulent President would
deem it more prudent to ignore such an act
of rebellion, and to let the Naval Officer
quietly have his own way. But now that
Senator Conkling has come home making
no secret of his own hostility to this execu
tive order, it is expected that Mr. Hayes
will do something decisive. "It is univer
sally admitted," says a writer in the Timet,
"that Mr. Cornell, in acting with the Re
publican Executive Committee, has inten
tionally defied the President; and from tho
determination expressed by the President
immediately following the issuance of the
civil service reform circular, no doubt is en
tertained that Mr. Cornell will be requested
to resign his Custom House position, and
refusing to do so will soon be removed."
It happens however, that Mr. Cornell cau-
not be removed by Mr. Hayes. He may be
suspended from office, and another person
may be appointed to perfom his functions
for the time being ; but as soon as Congress
meets, the Fraudulent President will have
to submit the question to the Senate, and if
that body does not consent to the removal,
Mr. Cornell will thereby become reinstated.
Such is the effect of the Tenure of Office
act, which was passed during tho Republi
can quarrel with Andrew Johnson, and has
not been repealed. This act makes it possi
ble for the Senate to keep a man In office
against the will of the Executive. In the
present instance, however, it will also enable
tho Senate to express a deliberate and prob
ably a final opinion upon the so-called civil
service rule which Mr. Hayes has pro mul-
gated .
What that opinion may be ought not to
be doubtful. Thero is no clause of the Con.
stiHition and no law of Congress which jus
tifies or allows this rule. No President, not
even one who has been elected, has any pow
er to Issue such a decree. It is the duty of
every American citizen to take part in polit
ical affairs, and every one has a right so to
do which cannot be taken away from him
This right Mr. Cornell is asserting. Thanks
are due to him for the manly position he has
taken, and we see no reason to doubt that he
will be triumphantly sustained.
Are lllack Bass Wormy '
These fish, according to tho following item,
taken from tho Klmira (N. Y.) Gazette, ore
not very desirable food at this season of the
year, Wo republish tho item for the benefit
of anglers in this section, and will let them de-
tide for themselves whether or not" thero is
any truth in it. If true, the bass should be
left alone until the worms disappear, if any
body knows when that is. Hero is tho item
rel'errcd to ;
"Yesterday Mr. Silas McLaughlin and Mr.
Josiah Richmond fished for bass in tbo river
near the Mountain House. They caught
fjno lot. On dressing them they found iusido
a quantity of small white worms, 'alivo and
kicking.' They concluded not to use the fish
caught, uot liking the looks of the worms
contained in tho bass. Ono of tho fish trough
to this office had half a dozen or moro of the
worms, ouo of which was over half un inch
long. The question now arises, are bass thus
affected good eating? It is said for a month,
at this season, such worms are common to the
fish, and after a time disappear. Tho pres
ence of them iu bass have been known to fish
ermcu for some time ; although some bay they
are not injurious to tho fish, although wo
should say they were to tho eater. As for
ourself wo Jprefer no bass on our plato just
now,"

Washington Jtevicw and Evaminer.
Probably no doubt exists in tho mind of
the general public that the average tramp is
a thief us well as a nuisance, but the au
thorities of Massachusetts have taken the
trouble to ascertain tbo facts as they really
exist. A number of detectives have been
sent out to travel with that numerous class
human beings who perambulato and
peculato to such an extent as to become u
matter of State concern in almost every part
of the country. The detectives who are
among tho tramps do as the tramps do,
making no efforts to obstruct them in the
commission of their petty crimes, nor to ar
rest them for anything done. The object is
to obtain a knowledge of tramp character as
it is when unrestrained, and if possible to
report somo way in which the State can
successfully deal with the tramp problem,
a problem which seems now very far from
solution. It has been discovered if it may
be called a discovery that the great body
of tramps aro professional thieves, generally
operating in gangs under the direction of a
chief, having their duties regularly assigned
them, who are to beg, who are to steal what
is to be stolen and from whom. What this
will lead to remains to bo seen, but if it is
followed up and crime receives its just pun1
ishment, tho prison of Massachusetts will
have to be enlarged. Ee,

Tho lalo strikes and mobs hnvo directed
the attention of tho public to the necessity
of n stronger armed force to sustain the
civil authorities. The discussion of the
question brings Into view tho relative ad
vantages of n regular nnd militiaman for
stato defense. Which Is tho proper defense
for a state with n republican form of govern
ment Is hardly an open question. This was
fixed by tho Federal constitution, whep It
declared "a well regulated mllltla necessary
to tho security of n freo state.' Tho dclenso
of our institution", from domestic or foreign
foes, rests on n well regulated mllltla ns
much ns our form of government rests on
tho ballot. Tho ballot Is tho corncr-stono
ns is tho mllltla tho right arm of our repub
lican system, Tho pcoplo should not sur
render to the mcrcennry n duty that the
constitution of tho country devolves upon
themselves. Whether this view of the ques
tion iu tho nbslract bo conceded or not, our
legislature will bo called upon nt tho next
session to revise and Improve our mllltla
system. It should bo made more efficient,
which can bo readily done under a better
organization, nnd tho number of the state
troops should be Increased. Tho efficiency
of troops, regulars or mllltla,rests In a great
measure upon their organization. If that
bo deficient it is seen at onco. Our militia
system is a notoriously cheap one too cheap
ono too cheap to be good. The officers nnd
men "work for nothing and find themselves."
They find their own uniforms, pay for their
rations, and give their time. Is it any won
der then that our militia is Inefficient,
tho companies skeletons, and tho discipline
lax? The most efficient militia nro found
in new Jersey, New York, Connecticut and
Mnssachusctts, In these states tho uniforms
nre found,officers and men nro paid for every
day they drill under tho law, they nro
rationed, and provision is made for the
wounded, nnd tho families of those killed in
the state's service. Tho plain English of
tho matter is, that in the states mentioned,
a certain numbei of the citizens aro paid,'
clothed and fed n given number of days each
year, whilo they qualify themselves to de
feud tho state in time of danger. In Penn
sylvania wo stand ns much in need of tho
same kind of service, nnd try to get it, but
the state makes tho monstrous mistake, of
asking her citizens to qualify themselves at
their own expense. Now, when we consider
that the greater part of our volunteer militia'
men are poor men, tne system becomes ' a
burden too grievous to'be borne." Wo pay
our lawmakers, apd all the machinery of
civil administration down to the tipstave,
and why shouldn't the protecting power of
last resort bo paid for fitting themselves to
discharge their important and dangerous
duties? Tho state should increaso its ac
tive militia to about 12,000 men, with n
compact and simple organization. At pres
ent, the general and staff organization is
sufficient for an army of ono hundred thou
sand men, which is found too fancy and
capacious for six or eight thousand. Two
divisions of five or six thousand men each,
(four brigades) well officered, nnd tho men
paid and equipped by tho stato would givo
us a force to be proud of. It can be had
without any great expense. Stop a few

EFFECT OF THE DEATH ON TUB PRIEST
HOOD AND OENTILE 1-OPUI.ATION
OF UTAH.
Tho death of Brigham Young has produced
less than the expected sensation among tho
Mormon population of Utah. Tho chief ex
citement is confined to tho few members of
the higher priesthood who aro in tho line of
tho succcssorship and their friends. Tho gen
tile population of Salt Lako city receive the
news of the prophet's demise with decorum.
For nearly a week Brishain Young had
been, considering his great age, seriously ill.
His trouble, liko that of Senator Morton, was
brought on by indigestion, consequent upon a
meal eaten imprudently on a day of cxtrcino
heat. Until Monday no serious apprehension
was entertained by his family and friends.
On Monday evening rumors wero circulated
in tho higher Mormon residences that his con
dition was precarious. So implicitly, so se
cretly was tho silence maintained that posi-
tivo news of his stato did not reach tho street
or tho east until Wednesday, when it became
apparent that he could not possibly survive.
His danger was telegraphed on Saturday and
Sunday, to tho bishops of the Mormon
church iu all parts of tho territory. Since
then the most trusted members of the priest
hood havo been arriving in Salt Lako and en
deavoring to make their way into the Lion
iouso. Thero Brigham Young, over since
his death was regarded as certain by his phys
ician, has been environed, not only by his im
mediate family, wives and daughters, but by
thoso chief counsellors nnd diplomats of the
church who sovcrally had and have the great
est interest iu tho succession to tiio dead
prophet's placo.

denounced the skill of eminent physicians.
lay so pestered by disease that, whilo he was
unconscious his friends wero compelled to
summon tho skill of Gentilo physicians. It
was too late. X m 1 1 th ago, when Brigham
Young suffered from an urinary affection, his
physician, a nephew, was compelled to bor
row tho requisite instruments, and they wero
efficacious. On this deadly occasion the samo
doctor applied to the most trusted physician
in bait Lako tor his judgment. At this timo
Brigham Young was unconscious. Tho phya-
ician applied to givo his advico which was not
adopted.
The Mormon policy of laying on of hands
was adhered to until Brigham Young breath'
cd his last.
Smitten as it is by this incident tho destruc
tion of Mormonism will nofreadily bo per
ceived by thoso strangers who pass through
Salt Lako City and think they know soniO'
thing of this peculiar people. Tho Mormon
church is now left actually without a head.

President Thiers died quite suddenly nt six
o'clock yesterday evening, nt St. Ger
main."
The unexpected announcement takes from
France a scholar and statesmnn who bnshad
no rival since Guizot's death, nnd one. whoso
long connection with public affairs crowned,
by the Presidency, has mado him known
over tho world. Louis Adolpho Thiers was
born In Marseilles In April, 1797. Ho was
educated thero nnd nt Alx,wheroho practiced
law from 1818 to 1821, preliminary to re
moving to Paris. At tho capital ho was a
lltcrnry nnd polltlcnl writer for different
journals, nnd acquainted with Tnllcyrand.
Ills great but imperfect work, tho History
of the French Revolution, was published In
1827, nnd two yenrs Inter ho contributed
efiectively to the revolution. He was chos
en to the chnmher of deputies, nnd really
controlled tho treasury department though
iiMininally occupying n subordinate post.
Ho was minister of tho interior under Mar
shal Soult In 1832, nnd resigning nfter pro
curing the nrrest of tho Duchess do Berry,
soon became minister of commerce and ag
riculture. Two years later ho resumed tho
portfolio of tho interior nnd vigorously sup
pressed riots ; became n member of tho
nendemy ; favored restrictions of the press
nnd jury ns n consequence of Fieclii's mur
derous nttempt ; resigned early in 1S30 nnd
was made premier nnd foreign minister n
month later.
Losing this position in six months be
cause tho king would not interfere in Spain,
he regained It early in 1810; proposed tho
fortifications of Paris w'hich wero finally
erected, but because they were not instantly
ordered resigned and was succeeded by
Gulzot. For somo years ho had led the op
position, opposing Ultramontanisin and
favoring education, whilo couuseling to this
country when England would mako Texan
nunexatiou n causo of wnr ; condemned
Louis Philippo's foreign policy and advo
cated reform. Ho accepted tho revolution
of 1848 and entered the constituent assem
bly ; supported Louis Napoleon and fought
n duel. As a member of tho assembly ho
opposed Louis Napolcou strongly in 1851
and foretold the dangers of his sway. For
this ho was nrrested nnd banished n few
months. During much of this political ac
tivity ho had been preparing his "History
of tho Consulato and Empire," which was
completed in 1802. Tho next year M.
Thiers was returned to tho assembly by tho
Paris Liberals. He continued his opposition
to Napoleon with much insight nnd power;
opposed the Italian wnr nnd the wnr with
Prussia, but favored n vigorous defense of
Paris, nnd visited other capitals to secure an
armistice. This conduct nnd his interviews
with Bismarck gave him a strong popular
support. Ho was elected to tho assembly
early in 1871, and chosen chief of tho ex
ecutive by that body at once.
Iu his administration M. Thiers negotia
ted the preliminary treaty with Germany,
put down the commune, raised and paid tho
ndemnity, and was chosen President for
three years, with that title, in August. Tho
tariff bill being rejected, ho resigned the
Presidency early in 1872, but was induced
to remain, and a committee was raised tc reg
ulatohis relations to the assembly. In March
1873, he concluded a new convention for
tho withdrawal of all tho German troops,
and received the thanks of the assembly.
His resignation that May was becauso he
could not secure a law making the republic
permanent. Early iu 1870 ho was elected
to tho senate and assembly, and chose the
latter body, but was able to do little owing
to ill health.
Since his election to tho assembly M.
Thiers has traveled in Italy to collect ma
terial for a history of art, nnd hns revised
nnd enlarged his memoirs. Tho cotempor
ary of so many eminent men ; the partici
pant in so many great events ; so influential
n French politics, art nnd literature, and
so truo to his republican convictions, the
great rival of Brougham in omniscience and
enterprise, will bo remembered longer and
ive more effectively than Gulzot or almost
any of his cotemporaries. He had some
weaknesses but few faults, and these wero
condoned by many merits. Frauce hardly
holds his equal.

LIFE IN A PIC1-PEN TO ACCUMULATE I1ICIIE8
HOW TWO BACHELOR BROTHERS LIVED
AND DIED.
A rather singular case has just been
brought to light here. For more than forty
years, two Irishmen, named Matthew and
John Russel, lived on the hills of Brush
Creek, near Wcllsville Ohio, lives of Indus
try and frugality seldom 6ceti in these times.
They were widely known, becauso of the
strict economy with which they conducted
their business. They went to Jefferson coun
ty when it was a mere wilderness. They
lived in a log houso and had a good largo
barn. Their fields yielded rich crops, and
their stock was well fed and housed, but
they wero always poorly clad themselves,
They shunned alike matrimony,pol!tics and
religion. At an advanced age, they sold
their farm for $15,000, nnd invested their
monies in good securities. Thoy then moved
into a small house near that of one of their
relatives, which had formerly been used
as a pig-pen, but with somo slight modified'
tions that where soon made to conform with
tho plans of tho old bachelors, For they
occupied this hovd, eating and sleeping
together, and hoarding their money. Four
years ago John Russell died, whon the re
latives of the survlng brother mado him
withdraw from his miserable habitation nnd
take a homo moro in keeping with what he
could afford. On tho night of the 20th of
July last, he also died, and letters of admin'
fstratlon were taken out in Ohio. Letters
were also taken out in this State. The do
ceased having a box in tho Safe Deposit
Hank of this city, Kenneth Mcintosh, as an
attorney at tho bar, at the request of th
relatives, assumed the administration hero
and gave bond in tho sum of $120,000. In
the box of the Safe Deposit Company somo
$6,000 worth of securities were found. This
money sterns to be subject to afive-per-cent,
collateral inheritenco tax iu this State. Th
balancoof the money will go to the cousins

THE KASTEKN WAR.
Constantinople, Aug. 29. A dispatch
fiom Suleiman I'nshn, dated Aug. 2(1, fays '
"Tho Turks occupied Allkridjebol heights
to tho lct of tho enemy's works, threatening
their lino.of retreat, on the 21st Inst., but
but tho Russians succeeded, on Friday, In
dislodging them. But on Saturday Vessel
Pasha, with two brigades, succeeded In gain"
lug a footing, nnd the fighting continued all
night. By three o'clock Sunday morning
the Russians wero completely driven from
the heights. Tho Russjans, receiving rein
forcements, made a final nssault but were
uiuuccessful, nnd returned to their fortified
work. The cannonade continued all Sunday
without effect."
Suleiman Pashn, telegraphs, under dato
of August 28, ns follows !
"Our Intrenched lino of Investment is only
1C0 paces from tho enemy's fortifications.
We still hold tho commanding Allkrhljobel
heights. The Russians nro blockndcd on
three sides. Every effort is being mado to
complete tho blockade by cutting them off
from tho road to Gabrova. Tho Russian
forces have been cruelly decimated, and they
hnvo retired to their fortified positions. Can
nonading nnd outpost engagements nro car
ried on intermittently."
London, August 29. Tiio Daily yews
has n dispatch from Gcrny Studen, dated
yesterday nfternoon, which says: After tho
severe fighting of Sunday, the Turks have
refrained from renewing the attack on tho
Russian positions In the Schipkn pass, nnd
up to this morning only occasional trivial
rifle firing between the outposts hns occurred.
As a result of Sunday's fighting, tho Turkish
ndvauced batteries somewhat menace tho
Russian flanks. The Turks nro constructing
fresh batteries in the Tunja Valley. The
Russians havo been adequntely reinforced
nnd there is nothing in the present situation
to alter my impression, nlready expressed,
thnt General RadeUky holds his position
safe.
London, Aug. 31. Thero is n lull In the
conflict nt tho Schipkn Pass. Suleiman
Pasha reported yesterday that ho still block
aded tho Russians nnd endangered their line
of retreat to Gabrova. Tho loss is estimated
at 12,000 on both sides. It is expected that
nothing moro will bo done until cither or
both armies aro reinforced. It is expected
thnt Plevna will bo again tho sceno of s
great battle. Should Osman Pasha be de'
fented, tho disnster is likely to bo irrepnra
hie. The Roumanians having crossed the
Danubo at a point twenty-fivo miles west of
Nikopolls, will be in a position to advance
on tho flank of the Turkish defences nt
Plevna, whilo tho Russians assail them in
front. Tho Powers aro disposed to acquiesce
in tho Russo-Servian Alliance. In Armenia
the Russians have begun n forward move
mcnt.
Constantinople, Aug. 31. Mehemet AH
Pasha telegraphs as follows : "On Thursday
morning strong columns of our troops from
Rascrad nnd Surinnssouhler attneked the
Russians near the villago of Karahassnnler.
Tho fighting was desperate. Tho village
was taken and retaken several times, but fi-
nally'carried by tho Turks. Tho enemy was
defeated and retreated in disorder, pursued
bv our troops. About five o'clock in the
evening two other columns from Surinas,
souhler crossed tho Lorn and forced tho ene
my to abandon Haidaraynz and fall back on
Pop. My headquarters are at Sekar.whence
I proceed to-morrow to join Ahmed Eyoub
Pasha, who i3 encamped atKarrahassanler."
Tho Turks lost 3000 killed and wounded
nnd the Russians 4000.
Router's Shumla despatch says the fight-
ne lasted nine hours. Tho positions car
ricd by tho Turks on tho right bank of the
Lorn aro Telihclcr, Spahilar and Karahas
snnler.
London, Aug. 31. A Router telegram
from Erzeroum says tho Russians havo
changed their position, and are now betwecii
the Turkish army nnd Alexnnderpol. They
havo evacuated their camp at Baldcrval
and aro withdrawing from that neighbor'
hood.
London, Sept. 1. Later editions of the
daily Xews and Standard publish despatches
from their correspondents who wero eye
witnesses of Tlinosday's battle, which con
firm in detail tho serious Russian defeat on
the Lom. Both correspondents agree that
'apkoi has been abandoned and tho Russian
position completely turned. The Turks are
continuing tho pursuit.
The week closes favorable for the Turks
throughout the whole theatre of war. As
regards Schipka, although Suleiman Pasha
has not succeeded in driving out the gam
son ho has almost blockaded it. Tho latest
Russian bulletin almost ndmits thnt he is
master of tho situation for the time, as it
says the Russians nre ignorant whether he is
about to retire to renew- the assault or at'
tempt a turning movement.
Tho seat from the Atlantic seat of war is
most conflicting as to prevent movements
of tho Russian main army under General
Melikoff. Mubhtar Pasha asserts in his of
ficial despatches, which agree with tho la
test advices from Erzeroum, that it is re
treating ; wherens a telegram from Kuruk
dara of the same date declares that the Rus
sian camp had advanced four versts. A
Russian bulletiiidiowever admits that in tho
engagement of August 25th tho Turks suc
ceeded in capturing tho heights ot Kiziltipe,
although their attempts to turn tho Russians
were renulsed.
There was somo ngniing ueiore nevna,
but ns usual, tbo accounts from tho two sides
are widely different, each claiming tho vie
torv.
Constantinople, via Syra, Sept. 2. Th
Turks acknowledge tho loss of 700 men i

The Capture of Jeff. Davis.
statement rnoM ms coloiied coach
man, who was present
Soon - niter tho eloso of tho civil war in
1805, when General Leo nnd Johnston had
surrendered to tho United States forces, n
good deal was raid much of it false in re
gard to tho capture of Jefferson Davis, Presi
dent of tho Confederacy. Soon after his cap
ture James H. Jones, n colored man who was
with Mr. Davis or his family during nearly
io whole timo of tho war in tho capacity of
coachman, and who was with him when ho
was taken prisoner in Georgia, furnished a
statement of his capture. Recently n request
las been mado to gentlemen of high standing
in this city to procure from James II, Jones n
statement of tho whole matter, which ho has
given, and which wo nro permitted tofopy ns
clow.' But beforo giving tho statement wo
will tnko occasion to say that the author is a
native of tins city nnd stnnds ns high ns nny
colored man in tho Stato for truth nud intog-
ity. llo is nnd has been for ten years cap
tain of the Victor Firo Company of this city,
nnd was, until his resignation recently, cap
tain of tho Raleigh Riflos,a colored volunteer
company of this city. Tho statement is giv
en as briefly ns possiblo to bo intelligible and
is ns follows .
"I was coachman to Hon. Jeff. Davis near
ly nil through tho war, and was with him at
tho tnno of his capture, which occurred on
the 10th of May, 1805, between thrco nnd
four o'clock in tho morning, somo fifteen or
sixteen miles from tho county seat of Wilcox
county, Georgia, while in camp on tho public
road. I heard tho tramping of tho horses of
tho Federal soldiers, as they wero approach
ing tho camp and nwoko Mr. Davis and told
him the Yankees word nearly on us. llo and
ns wife had been sleeping in their tent. When
went in ho got up, and by tho time ho got
lis clothes on tho soldiers wero in tho camp
and ten or twelve ol them wero standing at
his tent door with their guns. No ono could
pass in or out. Mrs. Davis and tho children
1 not timo to dress. Mr. Davis went to tho
tent door and was ordered by tho soldiers to
surrender. Ho replied that ho would not :
that ho would dio first. At this Mrs. Davis
prcsed to her liu-hand and put her arms
around his neck, begging tho soldiers not to
kill him, both sho and tho children crying
pitcously.
It has been stated that Mr. Davis had on
ahoopskirt and was otherwiso disguised as a
woman. This is wholly false. Ho was drcs.sd
in his ordinary clothing, with cavalry boots
Irawn over his pants, :i waterproof over his
dress coat, a shawl thrown over his shoulders,
and on his head n broad brim white or drab
Texas hat. Ho had not an article of female
wear about hi. person.
"The followiug gentlemen wero in tho camp
and wero captured at tho same timo : Gen
eral Reagan, Pos.iiatcr General; Mr. Har
rison, private secretary to Mr. Davis , Colo
nel Lovett, of Texas ; Colonel Joseph John
ston, of Kentucky ; Colonel Joseph Wood
escaped next day), .Mr. William Howell,

of life, occurred in New York on Monday
morning. It broke out In Hale's piano fac
