zeal for the workingmen, all this enthusiasm for “the rights of labor” will vanish like a fog the minute they succeed in getting into some office. They are trying aow to arouse prejudices upon which they can trade, and when the time to make the nominations comes they will be heard clamoriag for recognition as “leaders of” the workingmen. Let workingmen note this. If they do not find these self constituted leaders trading for public places and serving only themselves, experience is worth nothing as a key to the future. The meeting was a sham, too thin to veil the purpose that lay behind and the hope that inspired it, a glorification of the democratic party and the Sentinel

Lexington, Ky., wants a visit from President Hayes. Full returns indicate that Charleston has been choeen as the capital of West Virginia. Mexican bandits have made another yakl into Texas, which will call for another pursuit. Workingmen should be tke last to demand inflation. It has caused much of the trouble they complain of.

In the death of Chauncey Rose, of Terre Haute, Indiana loses her richest citizen, and one to whom she is greatly indebted. He did much to develop the resources of the state and increase its population by building and helping railroads. It was by him that the Terre Haute and Indianapolis road was made, and of his enterprise and public spirit many other valuable works are the fruit. His benefactions to educational and benevolent institutions have been large during his life time, and probably the bulk of-his great fortune, estimated at five millions, will go in the same way. He was a very useful and an honored citizen who lived to a serene old age, and whose works Will follow him.

A great many silly lies are being told about The N^.s by people whose enmity it has gained by preventing them from robbing the public,or by those who are envious of its success and would like to diminish its influence. As a matter of information we publish U sworn statement of the circulation of The News during the last month. It will bf seen that more copies are circulated now than there were before the railroad strike began. Of course a great many extra copies were sold during the bight of the strike which makes the avenge higher than it would have been in ordinary times, but even then it is much greater than that of any other paper in the state.

Thb meeting of last night which was gotten up and managed from the Sentinel office adopted a resolution denouncing The News and withdrawing support from it. This is the third or fourth time this same thing has been done, but heretofore tke bodies doing it have had more character and much greater strength. Their resolutions never made a ripple and The News has continued to pursue its even course,80 we don’tthink the fulmination of last night will have any destructive effect. It is noticeable, however, that a resolution denouncing the Sentinel stockholders for not paying their workmen and when sued appealing the case to a higher court, was smothered, the chairman kindly refusing to recognize its introduction. We really are rather promd of this enmity than otherwise. It shows that The News in exposing the pretensions and falsehoods of those demagogues who are trying to put a ring into the noses of men and lead them about like hogs, has won their hatred, which we would much rather have than their friendship. It shows that The News has been true to the people and steadfast in the defense of the rights of all, when such . attacks are made from such sources. The News is well satisfied with its acts in the past. It has been a true friend to labonng men—and the commuity is mainly composed of such; we have no nobility and gentry in this country. Its own workmen have been treated fairly and paid promptly. When the railroad strikers stopped the business of the country and forced men to quit work; when a war upon labor was begun ; when the right of meu to work was attacked, and when these same strikers gave warning that a mob which they could not control might begin to make war upon society and rob and plunder the properly of citizens, The New^ demanded that the supremacy of the law and the rights of every man be maintained at alt hazards, that law and not a mob should rule. That was for the benefit of all. Without the authority ot law no man’s life or property would be safe for a moment. The bread .could be snatched from the mouths of his children and if he tried to prevent it his life could be the penalty, and he could have no protection whatever. Outside of the law there is no security. That is the doctrine we have .preachedand we are proud of it. No paper has fought against official corruption and extravagance more persistently than this one. It has never ceased its efforts to reduce the national, state, county and city taxation that has been and is such a grievous burden upon the people. It has not been less earnest in its attacks upon the theory of inflation, to which most of the present trouble and distress is directly traceable. If there had been no inflation there would have been no shrinking in prices, no suspension of industry. The business of the country would have been upon a sound basis and there would have been no such bard times. It is the very danger of that inflation that helps largely to keep things as they are, and in fighting against it The News has fought for the true interest of tho whole land. Time will demonstrate this effectually and we are perfectly willing to wait for its vindication. But we need not wait for the recognition ot the real and intelligent workingmen of this city, for The News has that now, as is abundantly shown every day. Its course in favor of law and order and common sense, and its opposition to demagogues and communistic idiots receives as hearty an approval as it could desire, and a warmer one that it had expected.

Thi attempts to make political capita! out of the recent labor troubles, coutinue to be the okief work of various ‘‘horny handed” politicians and detnaagogues, who are looking to the people to support them. The so-called workingmen’s meeting held last night gave lull proof pi this. As an assembling together of the workingmen of the city, it was a dead failure. The men who could give such an assemblage character and force were not there, and the whole thing soon showed itself to be a scheme to get votes for the democratic party. The expenses were paid by democrats. Sentinel stockholders and state officers mainly. A few real workingmen were smothered and the meeting was ran by democrats. We take it that the workingmen of Indianapolis, the majority of our people, are people of inteiligenco who are neither to be deceived by the rantings nor duped by the pretensions of effitoseekers. And it was this class that was foie most last night. All this

THB HORRORS OF WAR.

Tlie Turk* Taklug tk* Offem*irekorne minor Enffa*ement« BoportedL Kalofar is reported destroyed by the eeddent&l explosion of a powder magazine. The Egyptians under Prince Hessen have begun an offensive movement from Varna, towards Trajan’s wall An attack on Kustendji will be made by the Turks after the arrival of Hobart Pasha’s fleet, which has embarked troope at Soogoom-Kale. The services of Colonel Baker have been secured by Lieuteoent-General Mehemet All, and he has gone to the front with three other well known English officers. The Russians have advanced upon Apulika. Gen. Tergukassoff has advanced to Balikioute. Ismail Hakki is retiring from Russian territory toward the front tr. An official dispatch from the governor of Tchildiar-Aaatolia reports that some Russian infantry encamped between Kabrarc rian and Alehergera and a body of Rusanm cavalry is at Arpachnier. 8 xty thousand Russian troops, with artillery, have passed the railway to Tratixhti, whence they inarch to Sistova via Simnitza. General Gourka’s force will be retired behind the Balkans, where they are required. Suleiman Pasha, taking the offensive, has marched through Tereditch, a Balkan pass, and sent a strong reconnoitering force as far as the Karo tom, on the opposHe bank of which the Russians were found in considerable force. The Austrian government has made declaration, through its agents, that in the present condition of affaire in the east the project of occupying Bosnia and Herze govina is abandoned. This is attributed wto numerous meetings in Hungary in favor of the integrity of the Ottoman empire. Suleiman Pasha announces that Rasssm has retaken Karlova, disarmed the Bulgarians, and re-estabiished order. He then captured Kslafer, defended by the Bulgaria; s in intrenched poeitions, and occupied Kalafer pass. The rebels find into the Balkans, after losing 500 killed and 53 wounded. Cheering Proapect* of Trade. INew York Herald.] All the indications are that the fall trade this year will prove the best and largest that has been transacted since 1873, the year of the last panic. By the fall trade is meant the wholesale business done in this city with the jobbing houses by merchants from the south and west. It is at this time—the beginning and middle of August—the country buyers commence to arrive and start their purchasing of fall and winter goods and of countless miscellaneous articles besides, that are salable all the year round. By coming in August those who live at distant points of the south and west are enabled to hare their purchases sent home in time for the season. The great retail fall trade of this city never begins before October. The reports of the large jobbing bouses finish a very fair index of the condition at least of the agricultural part or back bone of the country. The great majority of those whom the Herald reporter called yesterday and the day before gave it as their decided conviction that business would be good the coming season—better than for several years past; and, from the cheerful and sanguine faces of the merchants and their clerks, it would be hard to infer anything else than a hopeful and buoyant spirit prevailing among them. An old eastern er or two might be seen in most of the stores, reminding one of the few and early robins that come as harbingers of spring. So these occasional customers indicated that the fall trade had opened. All the stores appeared to have a full supply of goods on hand. views or a thouohVful and experienced MAN. Mr. Dunn, partner in the house of H. B. Claflin & Co., said in a thoughtful and measured manner: “We expect a good fall business, but nothing extraordinary, for that would be next to impomible. Toe indications are that the country is rounding slowly to better times, and that is the way it should be, for whea we reach by gradual and easy stages something like tbe same prosperity we enjoyed before tbe war, we shall feel we are on solid ground. That is whrft all of as are striving to reach. The people in tne west have had, according to all of our advices, an unusually abundant yield from the soil, except in a few of the bottom lands of the Mieeonri valley, where the rains have lodged and done damage to the crops; but on the whole tbe west has been exceptionally blessed. From the south, from every section of it, we have received moat encouraging advices, not the least among them being those from South Carolina and Louisiana. Southern buyers are here in onr store to-day from both these states, and we expect more southern trade this fall jtban at any time since the war. The southern merchants are coming here this year in uncommon numbers and baying rich and liberal linee of goods. Then, beyond all, these southern men have felt a great political reliaf, and that, too, encouraging them to be and makes them cheerful, and they will be in the future, perhaps, among our moat regular and esteemed customers. As for the west, there too, as well as in the sonth. they have learned habits of thrift. The extravagance in buying which was once a characteristic of the west and whereby New York merchants lost millioas of dollars, has ceased In a great degree. The west looms up to-day with a most enormous reservoir of wealth iu the products of her soil that Europe is even now calling for, and this makes us feel that despite rioto, strikes, panics and everything else, the future prosperity of America is assured beyond peradventnre. I might say tkat we feel perfectly satisfied with the prospect of trade this fall.”

The Cattle Plague* The cattle plague commit’ee of the British bouse of commons have agreed iu tkeir report to recommend that all importations from Germany, Russia and Belgium be absolutely prohibited; that cattle imported from all other countries be killed at tne place of landing; that stock in metropolitan markets should only be removed for slaughter; that all movements of cattle in infected districts be prohibited; that fairs and markets be stopped; that infected farms be subjected to quarantine. Infection may be carried in wool ard bides, in bay and straw, in the clothirg of attendants and even in pools Of water.

Beating the Bell-Punch. Twelve conductors of the Second avenue, New York, horse car line, have been arrested, and warrants issued for sbont fifty others, on the charge of beating the bell-punch and pocketing the proceeds of cneat.

Peripatetic Poolmen. The decision declaring pool-selling in New Jersey illegal having been affirmed by tbe supreme court ot that state, the poolmen who moved over from New York hare to move again.

Bonapartfat meeting at Chtselhuret. Tbe Messenger de Paris annonnoes a rendezvous of aU Bonapmrtist leaden at Cbieelhunt, August 15, whsn the Prince Imperial is expected to deliver an address.

Frightful Barbarities of tho Turk* and Russians. A correspondent telegraphs from Bucharest: have written the following as I received i^-and from the terrible accounts which fugitives continually bring over the Balkans, I fear it must be only too true. July 31, the day of the Rasman evacuation of Eski-Saghra, tbe Turks ordend that all Christians—men, women ’ and children—should be shot as they left their houses. Those who remained within were burnt alive. The order was given to burn down and destroy every particle of Christian property. Many leading Turkish merchants took part in the affair. One dispatch says a large number of Bashi-Bazonks are all over the Tiecherpan district. This district is one of the richest in that part of Turkey. It contains a very large proportion of Christians. It had over thirty churches and 590 schools and colleges, all of which have been burnt. The destruction extended to the villages Boghadan, Mahalesi, ReuaMehlisi, and many others, in all ahbnt 60 —containing from 150 to 200 families each. Scarrely 50 escaped alive. The Bulgarian fugitives at Gobrona and Seli estimated that from 12,000 to 15,000 Christians have been massacred in the Yen! Saghra and # 8chlrpan district alone.' Soldiers were posted along the road from Eski-Saghra to Kasanlik, with orders to shoot everybody passing. arSSIAH BARBARITIES. Twelve unarmed Mussulmans of the village of Sonkoulou, near Eski-Saghra. surrendered to the Russians, and seven of them were massacred by the Bulgarians and three by Cossacks. At Balanta, a village exclusively Mohommedan, in the district of Sistova, 100 houses were burned ; 200 men and 300 women perished. It is believed seven inhabitants survived. At Balovian, a Mussulman village in the district of Umova, 250 houses were burned and 700 men and 1,200 women perished. One person, it is believed, eacaoed. At Caba Bonous 100 houses were burned and 200 men and 300 women perished. Two persons escaped. At Kestambol, 150 houses were burned and 300 men and 600 women perished. At Chems, a mixed village, sixty Mussulman houses were destroyed and 120 men and 200 women perished. One person only escaped. At Tundja, a mixed village, 100 housee were destroyed and 250 men and 400 women perished. There are about three survivors. Villagee abandoned upon the approach of the Russians were given to the fiames, and nearly 5.000 booses have been destroyed. The legation concludes, from information received, that the Russians have adopted a uniform system to try to seize defenseless villages, and after destroying them with cannon shot to massacre the unarmed in habitants and carry off tbe women for the purpose of outragi ag their persons, when they sre not killed at first. The Rasslans threaten Christian villages with the same fate if they do not surrender or if their inhabitants refuse to be enrolled.

Tbe Reconstructed Charter Oak, [Cor. Chicago Times.], Without going into details, I may say that the new management's present plans simply contemplate a reduction of expenses and husbanding of resources, until the company can be placed in a sound financial condition; and until such condition is attained, no effort will be made for new business. The president will receive a salary of $10,000, and proposes to assume the duties formerly performed by four persons, who received an aggregate of $44,000 per annum. Tbe saving in expenses will, it is believed, reach fully 50 par cent., and may be even more. Now that the change is accomplished, and people feel safe regarding the future management, it is very generally admitted that in the excitement of investigation many stories had currency in the street which were entirely false. People took sides; much bad blood was engendered; and, as a result, the affairs of the company were made to appear much worse than they really were. The reputation and personal popularity of Gov. Jewell will do much toward restoring confidence, and it will not be strange if he sets an example in economical administration which other life companies will be compelled to follow. When the trustees of a mutual life insurance company will allow any one officer to receive salary and perquisites to the amount of $40,000 to $“#,000 per annum, aa they have done in New York, it is evident that they are not proper persons to be intrusted with the money belonging to other people. It may as well be understood that Gov. Jewell and associates are not governed entirely by pbilantropic motives in taking hold to save the company. ?he fact is, they believe the assets are sufficient to make the company solvent and good, and believe that with cautious aud prudent management the result will' be to give them valuable property for a very small sum of money.

Artemns Ward to a 1,1144* Girl. [A recently discovered letter.] Salem, Mass., June 18, 1864. My Dear Amelia—I can not tell you how much I miss you. It seems as though I had lost all my relatives, including my grandmother and the cooking-stove. Why didn’t I pnt yon in a bottle and bring yon down here with me? But I am always forgetting something. The other day I went off and forgot my Aunt Sarah, and she’s a good deal bigger than you are. Mr. Ramsey is also a very forgetful man. He frequently goes off and forgets his washerwoman. Mr. Ramsey is a very fine looking msn. He reminds me of Mr. Green, the Malden murderer. When Mr. Ramsey goes to the penitentiary, which will be very soon, we must send him dooghnuts, magazines and other literary documents. Mr. Ramsey can read print very well. I like you very mneh. I should like you just as well if you. were twelve years older. 1 am very singular about some things. You spoke to me about a boy who is my rival. 1 should feel very sorry to kill that boy, but: be may drive me to it I am in hopes that be will take himself into a premature fomb—that he may choke himself with a Urge slice of podding, but if he does neither I shall feel forced to load him with chains and read all my lectures to him. That will finish him. His boots may remain, but the rest of him will have perished miserably long ere I have got tbronghl Yon must be a good little girl, and always mind yonr mother. Never let your excellent mother feel sorry that sbe is acquainted with you. If it hadn’t been for her you might have got drowned in a soup-plate long ago. And if you hadn’t ever bad any ssotber you might now be in Turkey with tbe other Turkeys. In fact, my dear Amelia, sooondact yourself that even on dark and rainy days the bright sun may shine wherever yon are, and that the stare (which are next to the bub in brightness) may never flash so brilliantly but that you can always look steadily and hopefully towards them. Faithfully, yonr friend, A. Ward.

Hooker suggested pie. Resolutions were then adopted demanding the repeal of ell laws which rob labor of its fruits to enrich the idle drones; tha repeal of all special obarten; the taxation of all property, bonds included; the repeal of the resumption act; tha retirement of national bank currency; the issue by tha government of treasury notes to tha amount of $20 per capita and the main-. tenance of the circulation at that figure; opposing amphatically inflation or retraction; denouncing ail laws permitting tbe sale of American securities abroad: approving the course penned by Governor Williams end Mayor Caven in the late strike; welcoming Maynard of the Sentinel as a coisborer; declaring against convict labor; favoring an eight-hoar law and inflicting punishment on any man who works more than that length of time; asking acornpulsory educational law; providing for the appointment of e committee to solicit contributions for the families of imprisoned strikers; endorsing tbs lets strike and constituting a committee to draw up a memorial to President Havas demanding tbe immediate pardon of the fifteen strikera imprisoned for contempt of court.

Joyce Out of Prieon. Ths habeas corpus case of Ool, John A. Joyce, formerly United States revenue agent, under Gen.

Ths particular question involved in the case was that of enmnlativs punishment, or judgment on mors than one count of an indictment. The Judge decides that “the indictment under consideration, in ita yerious counts; charges but ons offense; that when the court entered its judgment on the conspiracy, the court .exhaasted its powsn, and that tha rssult of the judgment is void; that Joyoa, having setved a full term of two yean in the penitentiary, after allowicg due credit for good behavior, is entitled to a discharge,which is granted him on tbe condition that he and sorety enter into a recognition of $Li00 to appear avd answer any order of court which may be made out in this or eppelate court.
