The Dally News has the largest circulation of any paper in Indiana, and ia read in nearly every town and Tillage tributary to Indianapolis. Thirb are indications that the United States govornment will take hold ot the blockade at Fort Wayne and “raise it.” Va.ndkbbjlt’s acts and words do not smack of heartlessness or extortion. We commend to the notice of employes how he treats the men who work for him.

If President Hayes’s wise and just policy toward the south had not been adopted, where would the troops have come from to enforce the orders of the United States courts? TniBK *as no moh law in this city according to the Sentinel. Next thing it will be asserting there was no railroad strike at all, that it was simply a enrprise parly gotten np by the* employes that their employers might take a little rest. This would be a good time for men of money and land in this city to talk to Pittobarg manufacturers about th? beauty of coming west. Pittsburg has a debt of $15,000,000, on which she is now in default of the April interest. This strike will add at least $5,000,000 more to her burden. Her manufactories will he looking toward other localities less burdened by taxation, with a view to removal. Indianapolis has all the conditions of a desirable manufacturing center. Let Pittsburg manufacturers become thoroughly aware of them. Tax strike at Fort Wayne, in this state, is in the second week of its existence; the strikers continue, not si in ply to refuse to work, which they have a right to do, but to violate the rights of property, one of the inalienable rights of mankind. The mayor of the city and the sheriff of the county have appealed to the governor of the state repeatedly for aid but he has refused it flatly, and thus far has made no movement on his own account. He has brought infamy on himself and disgrace on the state. His action is clearly impeachable. Lit the principle be once established that when A, employe, does not get wages sufficient to suit him he may compel B, employer, to pay him more and by the same principle C, a fellow employe, may compel A to give him part of his wages when he (C) does not get sufficient, or has none at all, and may distrain for it in the same way. If A has a right to seize B’s property to make him disgorge, C has a right to seize A’s property for the same purpoee. And he will do it, mark that. Once throw down the barriers of vested rights, do away with the one inalienable right of property, and there is barbarism pure and simple. Thi Sentinel says there was no mob in this city. Suppose the Sentinel had opposed the resistance of its employes to their wages being cut down, which occurred at the beginning of this general trouble, and had insisted on catting them lower as it attempted, and the employes had seized the type and presses belonging to the Sentinel, bad driven off other men who came there to work, and this condition of things had continued for a week or more, would not the Sentinel have thought that a pretty well d 3veloped mob? And suppose the authorities of tbe city and state had not made an attempt to end such a state of affairs, but had left the Sentinel powerless to get out a paper, would not the Sentinel have thought them incompetent or cowardly or both? Would not the general condition have fulfilled ta idea of a mob, aud mob rule? We think so. This was just the condition of tbe railroads in this state.

Concbding that Governor Williams did as the committee o£ safety requested him, it does not relieve him as the executive officer of the commonwealth of Indiana from the charge of imbecility or something worse. The very existence of such a committee is proof of his incompetency. The necessity of such a thing is ]iis disgrace. We take no pleasure in denouncing him and heartily wish his action had been such that we could have been proud of it. He should have carried himself in such away in this crisis that no committee of safety would be needed. Had he done bis duty as a brave and honest

officer, with no fear of political consequences before hit eyes, Indiana would never hate heard of a committee of safety, and would not bear the disgraceful dislinction of being the first state in whicl^ passenger trains were stopped and the last in which tbe blockade is yet to be ended. All that was accomplished in this state was done by United States authority, or by the citizens with their self-appointed committee of safety. There has not yet, even while the blockade exists, stepped forward an embodiment of state authority to enforce the law.

It does not take much guess-work in the nature of prophecy to say that the action of Gov. Williams and the temper and disposition of aome leading democrats during the recent riot ba& lost the state to that party. All that large majority of votes which the governor has been electioneering for at the expense of tbe people of the state, at the cost of the state’s good name the world over, in defiance of the law which he has allowed and still does allow to be trampled into the dust, vanished at the time his dish-water proclamation came forth. “Is this all he has to say “and do for tbe law he has sworn to “execute?” Pandering to outlawry never succeeded in this country, and never will. The workingman is willing enough to espouse a party that will cause him to have better wages, and both parties truckle to him; but when he sees a party willing to strike hands with lawlessness, bis sober reflection teaches him that this is as bad for him as for every other citizen, and he makes tracks for the party that promises protection by upholding the source of it, the law. Governor Williams may abandon 'all hope that his party will profit by his encouragement of mob rule. The Sentinel’s self-assumed disgrace in the present contest between law and lawlessness is at last penetrating its double-turreted intellect, and under a flood of filthy billingsgate it seeks to distract attention. This is useless. It is fixed in the minds of the people that as seventeen yean ago it called for the life of the nation and sided with those who tried to take it, so now in a graver crisis so far as society’s existence is concerned, it sided with lawless rioters, lent its voice to the establishment of license and pleaded for its justification. For six months it has been encouraging lawlessness by a standing notme at the head of its columns to the effect that the authorities of the country have no color of title or right to enforce law; that they have stolen the places they occupy, and a direct fruit of this sort of counsel ripened in the speech of a labor fanatic the other night in the east, who advised everyone to pay no attention to the proclamations of President Hayes, that he had no right to issue them, and so forth and so on in the line of this lawless stuff, which with a fathomless mass of blackguardism is tbe Sentinel’s solo stock in trade. This is a repulsive subject, but we owe it to the people to hold up before them a paper which tr'es to discredit authority, civii or military; which counsels communism in all ita, forms; which, with a'strike impending in its own office against a red action of wages already the lowest paid by any office in the city, champions the cause of riot and disorder; which blackguards everything and everybody in a manner that makes it unfit to cross the threshold of lawabiding and virtuous households. Now that the hand of the law is twisted in riot’s dirty neckerchief, it has less to say about the beauties of making 1 Kind holders disgorge, repudiating the national debt and the like, and substitutes a general abuse of men, arid matter so filthy as to repel any one with the instincts of decency. But its record is made up. It will be remembered as giving voice to pillage and spoliation, urging the forcible seizure and detention of property, though it were baptized in blood and stood on the rains of law.

Intemperate Americans glare at England for every step she takes in the eastern question. They are indignant with her for what they please to term her sympathy with the Turk, her willingness to uphold him, while they themselves, citizens of a republic, cherish a sentimental loyalty to Russia, the foremost example of despotism m government, scarcely Jess barbarous and cruel than that of the Turks themselves. It is a contradiction. As a matter of principle it can not he that this country sides with Russia against England, and as a matter of fact it only does so from jealousy, the friendly jealousy of competitors for the world’s rewards, pursued by the aid of the same civilization, language literature and much the same methods of thought. If Americans will snbdue this jealousy which should only be allowed to assert itself as a spur to higher endeavor, they will see that England has no more sympathy with the “unspeakable Turk” than she has with the unmentionable Russian. She would rejoice as we at .the overthrow of the polygamous pagan with his cruel customs and beastly life, and in no event will she fight per se to uphold him. She would not probably oppose turning over Constantinople to

Austria, Italy, Greece, some or any power which she know* in the nature of things will not be able to. threaten her nation*! life. But the control of Constantinople by Russia would be a standing menace to the English empire. Any anti-English American will acknowledge this on a moment’s reflection, and in his spirit of fairness will justify Eng’and in protecting herself; and if this protection leads to the necessity of taking Constantinople by hereelf, no people except her own should rejoice more than the American people. In a question between Anglo-Saxon and Russian civilization, America remembers with satisfaction that it is the Anglo-Saxon leaven that saves us, and will look on its extension with willingness. Every foot of new territory it conquers is a guaranty that the best cizilization the world ever saw is extending its influence. Whether or not the great struggle going on behind tliis Ruseo-Turkish war is the question of the control of the eastern world by Anglo-Saxon or Russian civilization matters little immediate^, one fixed factor in the present contest is that England can not in self defense allow Russia Constantinople and will not, even if it involves the maintenance of the Turks there. She would doubt“less with us all wish to see the Turk blotted out in his political existence, but this the can not propose, for thereby she would turn the world against her, she would cut from under her the very ground on which she opposes Russia, and give that country as strong reason for having the Turks’ city as against England as she now has in keeping it from Russian hands. So England, with no smpathy for tbe Turk, can only stand and wait, on guard for the preservation of her own life, throwing on Russia the onus of calling her either to a strengthening of the Turks for her behoof or taking upon herself the custody of the Golden Horn.

BEEUAHIAN OUTK AGES. They are Affirmed and nettled. The English consul at Slivno informs Minister Layard under date of July 14, that-the Russians stirred up tbe Bulgariaurand armed them, that they tore out the eyes of Mussulmans whom they killed at Sistova, and filled the sockets with bread. Minister Layard telegraphs Lord Derby, under date of July 24, that the sultan has sent a message entreating tbe qaoen to use her influence with the czar to stop tbe shocking cruelties committed by Russian troops. Men, woman and children are outraged and murdered in a horrible manner. Tbe suitan can scarcely believe the czar wishes the war to become a war of extermination and a war of brigands. The snltan’e aid de camp gave Minister Layard an account of the revolting atrocities he witnessed, and which, Layard says, are in a great measure confirmed by advices from consuls and other sources Layard transmits, July 18th, several consular reports of outrages and massam s by Bulgarians, and says there is truth in them, althongb they may be exaggerated Toe Wallachians and Bu'g rians accompany the Russian army in bands, calling themselves the avengers. General Kemball telegraphs, under date of July 20, that the massacre of Bayazid is confirmed, but,tbe atrocities at Ardaban are quite untrue. A telegram from Bucharest says: Colonel Wellesley bas addressed a report to the British government denying the cruelties with wnich the Russians are charged.

Southern Womt-n’e W.ir Klota. [Nashville American.J The first broke out in Mobile with a clamor lor bread, the women holding the streets for a day. Next day the women of Atlanta and Augusta took up the cry, and the day after, or within a very abort time, those of Richmond, who were addressed by President Davis, Governor Letcher and Mayor Mayo The fair rioters held she street** and clamored for bread, Rations were ordered but they declined them, and robbed a few jewelry stores, aud a few dry goods stores suffered slightly. Tbe damage, however was trifling They were dispersed with difficalty on account of the gallantry which precluded the Idea of using artillery on women. It was strikingly slmiler to the presentstrike in the suddenness ahd sinmitam-ity of the different manifestations,^ though it w as rather amusing than it was alarming, and nobody was hurt.

The Striking .Timers. Tne miners at Nantiock, near Wilkes barre, stopped the pumps yesterday afternoon. A mass meetingof miners in the Bsaver Meadow region, in Pennsylvania, was held near Scanviile yesterday. It was resolved to demand an increase of wa es, but the amount was not stipulated. The meeting adjourned till to day. The miners’ mas* meeting at Knapp’s Meadows, near Lanoconing, Maryland, vesterday, was attended by 600, about half the mines being represented. AH was orderly. Some were striking for sixty five cents, some for fifty-five cents, and some were opposed to action calculated to disturb the present status. Two sessions were held, but no determination! was reached and the meeting adjourned to August 2 It is supposed work will go on meantime.

A Futnrc Strike. (Courier-Journal prophet.J A glimpse of the future: Blackberry Iran-—‘ Blackbay lies! black bay ries! nice b*y-riei>!” Old man—“How much?” B. M — ‘Fifteen cents a quart.” O M.— “Can’t pay any such price.” B M., jumping from bis wagon—“Cant’t bey? Won’t, hey? Well, then, take that [strikes], and that [strikes], and that fstrikes]. The old man. with his davlights knocked out, is gathered up by hie weeping family and and carried into his house, while his be reeved wife ordeis twenty-seven quarts of berries at fifteen cents a quart.

Tbe Return of Senator Conkllng. The announcement that Senator Conkling sailed yesterday from Liverpool for home causes considerable comment in Washington. When he left New Yo-k it was his purpose to remain abroad until abont October L

“SCRAPS.”

A rat and rattlesnake, pitted at Charlotte, N. C , would not fight. Yakoob Bey was a Hindoo and not a Jersey Dutchman, as might be supposed. PioNono"recently said to his physicians, “Do not flatter. I know well that I am near my end.” Altogether about twenty-six hundred ears were destroyed by the Are at Pittsburg, over one-half of which were loaded. Miss Christiana Hiss died near Baltimore the ether day in the same house in which she was bom ninety one years be-

fore.

A pair of twins ia Rochester, New York, Isaac B. Chesley and Jacob A Chesley, will be 80 years old in October. They are natives of the town, and have always iived there together, aud are both in good health. On a California ranch, recently, whe^t which wf.s standing in the ear at a quar- ’ ter before five in tbe morning was eaten es biscuit at a quarter before seven, having been cut, threshed, ground and baked in two hours.” Major Powell says: “There is not left unsold in the whole United States—except perhaps in Texas or the Indian territory—of public land which a poor man conld turn into a farm, enough to make one average county in Wisconsin.” The Georgia state treasurer has made a statement showing that the state debt is $10,645,897. The stats is also liable for the first mortgage bonds of the South Georgia and Florida railroad to the amount of liGI.OOO, and has a floating debt of $100,060. Mr. Gould, aLivipgston, Maine, farmer, after picking a lot of potato bugs from his vines ate freely of bread and milk, crumbling up the bread with unwashed hands. It is supposed that some of the poison juice of the bugs got into the bowl, as he died before the morning. It is an old saying, and one of fearful import that we are forming characters for eternity. Forming characters! Whose? our own or others? Both, and in that momentous fact lies the peril and responsibility of our existence. Who ia sufficient for the thought?—[Elihu Burritt. “Well, and how did you enjoy your dinner?” asked a passenger of another on a European steamer, the first day out “Don’t mention it,” said the other, feelingly; “don’t mention it It’s a good deal like the financial question in congress.” "How’s that?” “Why, it’s apt to come np at any moment.”—[Baltimore American. Mr. Vanderbilt told me that the Gen tral road and its branches employs about i;>,000,persons. It is probable that .there is an average of five other persons dependent on the earnings of each of these, making an aggregate of 75 000 persjns who would be directly affeotsd if the road had been closed. How widespread would have been tbe suffering can easily be underatood.—[Saratoga Letter. Voltaire died at Paris, lu the house of the Marquise de Villette, on the (>aai which now bears his name. In conformity with a clausa in the will of the Marquise, the windows of the chamber have never been opened -mce. They are to remain cloet-d until the hnndreth anniver. sary of his death, which falls in little less than a year. Tbe injunctions of tbe will have be< n faithfully observed, even during the revolution. Jenny Lind, now 56, writes: “I want to speak to yen of my baby. Well, I must tell you that God has given my dear husband and myself an adorable little girl baby, born on the 3tst of March last. She is the perfect imgge of health and happiness. She laughs aud crows in a way to delight all sympathetic hearts. We have given her a little Katharine among her other names, but we call her Jenny, I need not say in honor of whom. Our bay Walter will ba four years old the 9ib of August next. He is an intelligent child—very intelligent, very religious, and when he has been naughty, ii is touching to see the way he prays Gad to make him good again—poor little chicken! My husband is now in England looking out for a residence, lor we intend, on account of the children to settle in that country.” Ones leaving to go to a distant part of the state Justice Bradley started to take the train, but as he reached the front gate bis wife called his attention to the fact that the tronsera he wore were dreadfully ragged where they were widest. Back went the judge to his room, and presently, with new trousers, strode toward the depot. But the train had gone, and, in a terrible rage, he returned to his bed room, seized the hapless trousers be had first worn, and slitting them into a thou-

sand strips flarg the pieces from him- 1 saying, “There, you’ll never make me j miss a train again.” Once Judge Bradley lost a case in the court of chancery, and i as be was leaving the court boose in an- i ger, and was muttering to himself as he descended the stairs, some one asked him if the conrt waa closed. “No,” he thundered, happily, though perhaps unconsciously. paraphrasing a celebrated bon mot, “Hell and the court of chancery are always open.”—[New York Express. Dr W. H. Vail publishes an article on summer diet, and starts with the following argument: “God, in his providence, has stocked tbe polar regions with the seal, tbe whale and tbe bear; all the personification of fat and oil—while vegetation is comparatively unknown. On the other hand, as you approach the tropics, oranges, Jianenas, lemons and all our luscious fruits greet you on every hand, and vegetation runs wild. This disposition of providence teaches us—what our appetites confirm—that in cold weather our diet should consist mainly of oily substances, or such food as is converted into fat by tbe process of digestion; while in the summer we should select snch articles of diet as are riot convertible into fat.” Dr. Vail adds that vegetables, ths edible parts of which ripen underground, such as potatoes, carrots aud parsnips, are heat producing, while those that ripen above ground are cooling. The latter, including especially asparagus, lettuce, peas, beans, tomatoes, corn, and all fruits, should be freely eaten. Meat should not be eaten oftener than twice a day, and lean is preferable. He particularly recommends tomatoes.

THE EASTERN WAR. Critical Position of the Rnmnians. Dispatches to the English papers indicate that tbe position of the Russians in Bbipka and Slivno passes,on the soitheru slope of the Balkans, Is becoming hourly more grave. Their effective forces, echeloned on this line, do not exceed 50,000, which are threatened from four sides simultaneously—from Adrianople and Jamboli by Suleiman Pasha, from Osman Bazar by Mehemet Ali. Osman Pasha is advancing in ths direction ot Sillvia. The reserve corps from Sofiacoald approach by way Qt Phillipopolis It set ms, also, that the Russians are not making much progress before Silistrit ard Kustcbuk, where they are meeting with desperate resistance. Geu. Zimmerman’s corps, advancing through the DobrmJscha, is greatly menaced by the right wing of tbe Turkish army from Vanna and Peravadi. The Ninth Russian army corps has become almost incapable of fighting in consequence of the loss itsufferad at Nikopolis and Plevna. Several telegrams mention tbe fact that the Roumanians occu- * p ! td Nikopolis at tbe reqnest of the Russians, as proof that the Russian cause is not prospering. THE RUSSIANS DEFEATED AT PLEVNA. Osman Pasha telegraphs from Plevna yesterday: “Three strong Russian corps attacked us this morning. The cannonade lasted two hours Then a general engagement ensued, wh'ch lasted until 10 o’c.ock at night, when the Russians retreated Prisoners say the Russians numbered 60,000 infantry and three regiments of cavalry, and had fifty guns ” It is expected the battle will recommence today. It is reported from Bucharest that a Roumanian division, commanded by Gen. Manna, after leaving a small garrison at Nikopolie, marched in the direction of Plevna. It is reported that the Czerjvitch’s army is retreating towards the river Yantra. DEFEAT OF LTOUB PASHA DENIED. An occasional correspondent of the London Times, at Vienna, utterly denies the reported great defeat of Eyoub Pasha, and says after the concentration of the Turks around bhumla, a considerable portion of theijr forces was ordered to advance by the way of Eeki Djumo and Osman Bazar upon Tirnova, to unite with Osman Pasha there, and then follow the rear of the Russian detachments which have passed the Balkans. The Turks therefore have only been able to leave a feeble corps of observation, which wfU take good care not to encounter an enemy superior in numbers. PROBABLE RUSSIAN MOVEMENTS. A Bucharest telegram says a careful review of the military situation would Eeem to indicate that the Russians have keen rapidly concentrated, and that in all .probability Biela and the positions on the Yantra are now chosen as the center of their movements. TURKISH STEAMER BUNK. A dispatch from Bucharest reports that the Russian batteri-s hsvesunk a Turkish steamer cruislDgoff Oltemtza.

Foreign New*. Aarifi Pasha has resigned ths Turkish foreign ministry, and is succeeded by Bervier Pasha. A Jamaica telegram reports a revolution and two days’ conflagration at Port an Prince, Hayti. The split in the Bonapartist ranks in France seems as complete and wide as tbe rupture between tbe Bonapartists and Legitimists. Le Pays admits it does not count confidently on a conservative majority, and would regard a minority of fifty ss a signal victory. Tbe Rntrolan Army, [Letter trom Bulgaria.! This army is a white army now, white to the last shred, save facing and boots. Officers and men wear a loose whits canvas blouse, which is the perfection of a campaigning garment for summer weatn er. The white of {tie not so pronounced as to dazzle in the sunshine, nor does the dust of the road end the stains of the bivouac foul it into absolute dinginess. It can be washed and dried in an nour.

AFTER THE STRIKE. Some Trouble Tet-Waaderbllt Rewards Faltbful Employee. The lomberoien e strike in Chicago has apparently ended, and rates bare not been changed. On# hundred men were yesterday ditebar^hd from West Albany shops, for participation in tbe late disturbance# there. At the trial of the itriken yest irday, before Judge Drummond, of the eignt rioters from Peoria, MavX end Ennis, the leaders, were sentenced to four months, end all the others to two months in the county jail, and all fined $50 each, ths imprisonment to continue until the fine is paid. Three of tbe executive committee of the railroad striktia, Weteon. Miller and Murphy, were arrested at Terre Haute last night, by United States Marshal Spooner, on the charge of having interfemd with tbe trains of the Levans port railroad, which is under the control of the United States courts. Ths receiver of the Central railroad of New Jersey has issued an order suspending all engineers and brakemen not now actually in the employ of the company, and directing that when they resume work they be jpsid only for actual work done. Heretofore engineers and brakemen have been paid the full month’s pay whether they worked every day or not. Contrary to expectation, trains wsre not run on this road yesterday. President Vanderbilt, of the New York Central & Hudson River railroad, has issued a circular stating that of the 12 0 >0 employes of the company, less than 530 struck, and no injary waa done to property. In recognition of their fealty ha directs $100,000 be divided ratably, according to their positions on the pay-roll,

company, can remain in or re-enter its service, and adds that pay will be increased tho moment business justifies it The first of the Panhandle westward bound freight trains due at Columbus at 7:30 lest evening was met by a body of B. & O. strikers, abont half a mils east of the depot, stopped and run on a siding. The fire was dropped from the ei^ioe and the water let out of the boiler. Ten minutes later another train came an and was served in the same way. At 8:30 several companies of troops reached the ground where the strikers are congregated, with orders to prefect these trains. The Baltimore and Ohio officials reported at 11:30 last night as follows: “Everything progressing between Parkersburg ■nd Baltimore, without delay. M*n enough to manage all our trains. We have moved to-day, on the various divisions, about ninety trains. We expect to'commence freight from Grafton to Vi heeling to-morrow.” Tbe most stubborn blockade in the country is at Fort Wayne. The strikers’ committee returned from Pittsburg yesterday and called e meeting of the men, who adopted a resolution to the effect that the strike will be maintained, and the strike contlnned until J D. Lsyng promises, over his own signature, to make all cOnceseiona originally demanded by the strikers. Although many men are anxious to work, none will be found ready to risk an attempt to move trains, unlees under military guard. The Pittv burg shops had been ordered opened yesterday. but the atrikera notified the men not to go to work, and the shops remain closed. Dispatches say that the strikere at Alliance and Creetiine are willing to raturn to work at any time. The war department has instructed General Hancock to exercise his discretion in the use of the United States troop to break the blockade, and it is expected the trouble will soon be over.

T’lie Hook of Books. Have we not all noticed t! a men go to the Bible for what they want to find, rather than what they ought to find? It ia by no means impossible to m - A duplicates of the good Scotch woman'ftminister, of whom she said: “If there Wa cross text in the Bible, be is sure to URe it for e sermon.” When e man with a large, sweet nature, comes to tbe Bible, he crops, by a sure instinct, all tbs large, sweet pafsages. Tbe hopeful men finds tbe hopeful things; the hard man the bard things; the sad man tbe sorrowful things, and every man whatever satisfies his cravings, though they man not give him peace. This book ia like those springs that neyer give out’ in the dryeit weather; never freeze in tbe oo dest; becanse they reach directly into the great fountains hidden under the surface. It never fails.

Crookedneaw In the Indian Bureau. At the cabinet meeting yesterday charees made against certain officials of tbe Indian bureau were presen led by Secretary Scharz. Tbe charges have been undergoing investigation for some time, and as they are said to be of an us usual character, Secretary Scburz presented them to the cabinet. Comrafaaioner Smith la not in any way implicated by the charges, or by anything that has been elicited during the investigation.

No Illicit Distillers to be Pardoned. Tbe question of pardoning persons convicted in some of the southern states for illicit distilling was considered by the cabinet yesterday, and it was decided that to permit the parties now incarcerated to serve ont their sentences will have a moral effect which will be beneficial to tbe reverue service.
