A dispatch of 1 inst. giv. >. e f-1- lowiug account of the bulL n© war Ihe combined forces of the Toledo, B ..l ash and Western, Cincinnati, Lafayette am Chicago and Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Lafayette Railroad t'onip.mies with six engines, made two attempts last evening to push the engine of the Lafa yette, Muncv and Bloomingtor. Railroad Coaipuy back westward off the bridge. The Muncy and Bb mtngton engine is chained to the tracks and ha.* a large, well-armed and determined guard to protect it. The Toledo, Ba bash and Western engine, standing with a tender next to the Lafayette, Muncy and Bloomington engine, ha* pieces of wood placed uuder and behind it, ©o that it must go over if pushed westward. Several gangs of men have been sent to remove it. but have been warned by the Lafayette. Muncy and Bloomington guard not to touch it at the peril of their lives, and no one wi-hes to take the responsibility of moving the wood after being thus warned. At noon to-dav the situation was urn-hang-. 1. What Cov. Hendricks thinks of Hayes, will be seen from an interview had with him by a repri-entative of the San Francisco Chronicle, to wh tn Mr. Hendricks said with much earnestne-s tb : there is a grow ing sentiment that Hayes is little better than a u* irper: that be was not elected to the presiden cy, and that his attempt to propitiate the democracy by adopting a course which Mr. Tilden might have followed in his treatment of southern interests, will not be successful. The democratic party, said Mr. Hendricks, does not want such converts. Ex-Senator John Scott, of Pittsburg, who was made U. S. Senator by Cameron six years ago, has come out in a letter against the Cameron gang, and threatens a defeat of the Republican ticket in Pennsylvania next fall, if the Camerons are to dictate the nominees. Mr. Scott is an able man, and the radi cal leader in the western part of the state, and thinks it is time Cameron domination in the republican party i broken down. Mr. Scott is right—but has he courageous republican- enohgh to stand up end make the Cameron? take a back seat, or else bring about the threatened defeat of the party? We'll see, as the blind man said. Mr. Scott was in Washington the other day, where be predicted that the Cameron rir.g will be overwhelmed at the noils this fall. Tne people of the we.-iern par' of the State, he says, are indignant beyond ex pression, almost, over t! ::ime played bv old Simon in the intere-t of ' is i and the Senatorship. Although Mr. Scott does not say so openly, his view* clearly indicate that there will be a Democratic tidal wave thi- fall whir l, will destroy the Mackey-Cameron-Kem ble conspirators. Senator Blaine seems to have taken a second thought and will not attack the administration. Wendel Phillips and Ben Wade will have to do the ear-box ing without the Maine statesman's as sistance.

The Murphy temperame movement, which has reached Centre county, and seems to be spreading like a great wave all over the country, naturally brings up the question, who is Murphy. A friend has handed .'us an item which gives this temperance reformer's biography as follows: There seems to be but one subject agi tating Luc people, and that the necessity of suiy : r.g the disposition to swallow in toxicating beverages of the day. The present movement seems to have been inaugurated Ly one Francis Murphy, who seven years ago was locked up in prison in Portland.

A Washington correspondent to one >f the dailies, says: restiuionv taken by the Commii'.ct to Investigate the Workings of the Bureau of Lngraving and 1 tinting in the Treasury IVpartnient, on which Jewell a* removed and Mcßheraon ap p ii.ted as Chief of the Bureau, shows a fearful state of affairs. It is alleged that the testimony of some of the feuiah employes was to the etleet that they j wore appointed, not because ther servi c s to the Government was an obytw, 'b .: either bt .use they had yielded to the sensual appetite of the head of tli Buiean, or wore the object ofhisdesign*. The tcstai.ony tends to show that the government has been snptHrtiag a harem for the use of Jewell and such friends as he saw tit to invite to share with him its btSSfltl, OsudilJ Shvr man iss.iid to be so much surprised at the evidence adduced that he is incliued to keep it from the public if he can. In this course lie is doing an injustice to s i.-h estimable women a* art 4 in the .de partment, and they are quite indignant ti.at they should be open to suspicion; for while the rcj rt' of the Committee is kept quiet they feel that the good suffer with the bad, especially from the shafts of scandal hurled at theni, by innuendo at least, from the gv**iis. If ; the Engraving Bur- ait has been run as a bagnio, and the facts have been elicited, the truth should come out. RIGHTS ASI> DVTUS OF A7.7* 77.'.! LS. As the l'nited States are t be neutrals in tb.is war between Russia and Turkey, says the N. Y. Sun, there are *e obtained in a neutral port, and the belligerent cannot use the harbors. ports, casts, or waters of the neutral in aid of its warlike purposes, or as a Ma- tion or place of resort for any warlike purpose. If the belligerent vessel is a steam vessel of war, it cannot receive, in a neutral port, any more coal than is necessary to take it to the nearest port of its own country, or to some nearer destination; and it is usual to require that the same vessel shall not rcceivetwo Supplies of coal from ioits of the same neutral witlun less'han a given time, -ty three months, of each other. Sub ject to these rules—which it is compe tent to the Gov rnment of the neutral State to announce that it will act upon the vessels of either belligerent may enter our ports as often as our Govern- : ment mar see tit to allow. American vessels carrying arms or •ther warlike supplies to Russia or Tur key will be liable to capture for carrying contraband of war. The modern rule is hat provisions are generally not eon ' raband ; but they may become so under i ircumstancesarising out of the particu lar situation of the war or the condition' ol the parties engaged in it. If they are carried fur the general use of life in an enemy's country, they are not in gener al deemed contraband; hut if they are destined for military or naval use, or for ports o' military or naval equipment they are liable to be treated as contra band. Contraband works a forfeiture of freight. Formerly contraband worked a forfeiture of the ship, but in modern I times the ship is forfeited only when it is owned by the same person who owns the cargo. The cruisers of either bellig erent can capture American vessels hav ing property of the other belligerent on board, and take them in for adjudica tion in their prize courts, hut they can not transship the property at sea unless it is indispensable for its preservation. In nocent parts of the same cargo,'to escape the contagion of contraband must be the property of a different owner. EXTIiA SESSION IS OCT Oil Eli. His Fraudulcncy is timid alwut meet ing the representatives of the people, so the extra session of Congress goes over until the 15th of October. This is a confession of weakness. He is afraid to face the music of the Democratic Rep resentatives Croin whom he has stolen the Presidency,or the Republican Rep resentatives whose principles he has be trayed by shameless bargaining with the late Confederates.

In addi i tion to these, there is an irregular army : containing 140,491 i men, so that, all told, the Russian forces exceed k'.OOO.OOO; though there is doubt whether many > uioie than halfof these can be made di rectly available for a war against Tur | key.
