The im ml, wore small ami no were gained by either side Tito most stubborn titfhtini' was at but, notwithBtanding the numerous assaults made by Turks, the Russians are still uf the coveted territory. Ti.rkish attacks at Eski D'Jnma were also rejiuiseil.

Reports are very con-llictiug-, yet it appears the Russians are able to maintain their present positions until the ar-r il of the reinforcements, in which event an onward march will be ordered. The Turks appear prepared to contest every foot of the inarch of the Russian forces and the Czar will find it no oasy task to proceed to Constantinople. The work of getting new recruits in Russia for the army is causing general distress and the country is already suffering severely from the heavy drain made upon its resources, both in money and men. Reports of Russian barbarities are zealously circulated by Turkish representatives but doubtless are greatly exaggerated. Mil.

Nay got back to Washington yesterday afternoon. lie has pretty thoroughly pervaded New Kugland, except Maine, with his dull platitudes in the way of speeches. Postmaster General KKYhas served the purpose of a "fearful example," and has been held up to the commiseration of the Yankees at every village. The late Confederate has eaten humble pie with a relish. It may have gratified his hearers, but has aroused a feeling of contempt at the South for the I'ostmaster General that will not soon die away.

Nis role in the Presidential journeyings is not an enviable one: but his capture does Hayes' ingenuity credit. It was only a few years ago that ho wore the stars ami bars, and only a few months ago that ho proclaimed in the Senate chamber that (iov. Tii.okx was honestly elected. Tiik Reatty Republicans in Ohio are becoming more formidable each day. Thousands of old-time Republicans are falling into their ranks, and tbe West party can no longer conceal their anxiety.

Many of them acknowledge that the prospects are very discouraging. The Washington ttnr of yesterday says Tli managers of tha Republican party may not see it, or like the boy passing a graveyard, they may be whistling to keep their courage up, but a' present all indications are. t'nat Ohio will go 1 emocratic this fall by from 1 0,01 to majority. It is possible that a rwantiou may set in before the election comes oil, and that the Republicans may be able to hold the Sla'e by a slight majority; but in any event it is a settled tiling that Mr. Matthews can not be re-eleetetl to the Senate.

This is candid, coming from an administration paper. In Westcrville, Ohio, some Republicans are making a fuss and holding a public meeting about Hayes appointing a woman as postmistress of the village. Their resoluti ns say it will "hurt the party." The Chrmiirle, which is a sort of a small potato IIayks organ, accuses the Democrats of being at the bottom of the rumpus. "When the Radicals are doing anything especially mean the C'mihir'c, with a cheek the (Jazitte don't possess, eases its conscience by blaming it on the Democrats. TI t.ltAMS IX IIIlir.K.

The Government of the United States is of interest to ail of you, and it is because of your interest in that government that you have turned out as you have, in such vast numbers to welcome those to whose charge the administration of this government has been committed. We understand perfectly well that this is no personal compliment to us.

You entertain very decided opinions as to the course the Government shall pursue aud as to who shall administer it. There is a wide diversity of opinion ai to the precise measures of government, but there are a few things have acquired the habit of saying since our trip through New Kngland bean, upon which the whole people of the I'nited States re substantially acrripil.

These are general ideas entertained about government- There are differences as to the methods, and whatever errors may be you will remember that it in our purpose honestly to pursue the course in support of the propo-i ions I have ottered you.

The Russians disarmed the Mussulmans at Eski Saghra, Kezanlik ai neighboring villages, aud distributed the arms among the Bulgarians, who drove down four hundred Mussulmans to the river Tundja and massacred them. At Eski Saghra and its neighborhood, the Bulgarians continue to massacre the Mussulman population.

Rl'SSIA. HOW THE EXACTIONS Ol WAR ARE TELL-INO ON THE 1'KOI'LE. IXiNOON, August 2t. A Moscow correspondent writes of the war in Russia: "Peasants are being called 01T to join the imperial army from all directions.

here-ever one goes families are mourning be cause either father or brother are under or der to start within perchance only a few hours. Families are broken up on all sides, and wives are selling household furniture. I he streets ot Moscow are thronged in many places with household goods. The price of provisions is rising proportionately. Among the upper classes liomes are iu the same slate of change.

Those who have retired from tbe army or navy are, iu many cases, recalled. All will, it is presumed, lie summoned in cousef of time. Whilst I write, a general call isboing made for all to serve iu the militia, and notices to this effect have been served ou all those residing in No. 1 of the six divisions of Moscow. House to house visitation is also going on relative to the number of men servants and horses kept by every householder, a large quota of which must now be parted with for the public service.

Substitutes on the part of the former are not accepted. Funds are rolling in for the sick and wounded 011 all sides, peasants even urging the acceptance of their mite. BREVITIES.

The Anti- Hayes Republican Kxecutive Committee have just issued the follow ing address To the Hi jiiihliranK 0 Ohio: After mature deliberation, we have de cided that it is our duty to ask you to unite with us in the condemnation of a policy hich we solemnly believe will, if sustained by the people of the North, render the late Constitutional Amendments valueless, disfranchise 800,000 Southern voters, and finally endanger the liberties of the whole people, both North and South.

The most valued of the principles for which the U-puhl cm party has contended, is set forth in that clause of the Constitution which declares that no State shall deny 1o any citizen the eipial protection of the laws. this and other provisions of the Constitution, the Nation guaranteed to the citizen liberty, equality and suffrage, and obligated itself to protect him in the peaceful enjoy ment aud exercise of these rights. J-or sixteen years the Republican party 01 01110 nas upneiu tins doctrine: tor tins our people went to battle, to prison and to mth for it; millions of money were ex pended, and thousands of lives sacrificed. are now called upon to abandon it by sustaining and indorsing an administration which has deserted it. "We do not propose at this time to refer in detail to the fallacious arguments and ingenious subterfuges by which the friends of the President seek to defend his con- luct and deceive the people as to the disastrous consequences which must eventually follow as its necessary results.

We point vim to the fact that a President, the chosen representative of a party whose life and inspiration in every hour of its existence have been political justice and freedom for all American citzens, has pi oved recreant to every consideration of gratitude, humanity, honor and official obligation as well as political principle, and has given the support of his great office to deprive American citizens of their sacred rights and deliver them crushed and u-miliated into the merciless hands of persona! and political enemies; tr the fact that the will of the majority of the voters in a' least two States of this I'nion has been disregarded, the rightful appeal of iheir liovernments for protection against insurrection and domestic violence denied, and that with the knowledge and consent of the Federal Administration the legally constituted authorities were thrust aside by the mob. and the oflicers of tbose States seized a.ml held by it.s leaders: to the fact that he Administration lias practically com-ented tint the later Constitutional amendments may be disregarded in the South; to the fact that the freedom of speech and expression of political opinion is no longer permitted to the fact that the Republicans of sixte-n States of this Vnion, weary of a struggle in which they have neither the sympathy nor support of the Administration, are compelled to abandon their party organizations and relinquish all the political rights aud privileges dear to freemen in the effort preserve what may remain to trem of life and pioprty: to the fact that the Administration has, to all intents and purp ses, adopled the Democratic, trine that There cau be no permanent partition of power nor any peaceable ioint exercise of power among such discordant liodb of men as are found in the to the tact that it is doing its utmost to fulfill the pre diction of the Democratic Committee, in the House of Representati ves that "No (Inv- vfrniDf nt can lone exist half black and half white; those whom God has separated let no man put together. In time public opinion will vibrate back to the old ondition as it existed prior to the disturbing influence of the war, and when th's occurs, it will be the political death of the negro on this Continent Tlie indorsement of such a ihcy by the Republican party of Ohio is a totil abandonment of vital principle is suicide. It is manifestly the imperative duty of every true man 10 oppose and, if possible, avert such a result. How then may we check, how manifest our disapproval of this dangerous and deadly There is apparently but one course" left, that, of withholding our votes from all who stand upon the platform which indorses it.

We do not desire to divide or in any degree impair the old organization by putting new ticket in the field; it is the party in which we have been enrolled for twenty years; its heart and brain are honest; temporarily it has been led astray; time and chastening will bring it back to principles. No Republican should compromise himself by voting tha Democratic ticket, for the platform of that party, so far as the Southern policy of the J'resnlerit concerned, is no liefter, and indeed no worse, than that adopted by the Cleveland Convention. The candidates nominated by that Convention are gentlemen whom we have long known, and for whom we entertain great respect; some of them are personal friends whom we would be glad to serve, but un fortnnately for them, for ourselves, and the I country, if they are elected it will tie claimed that the abandonment of principle and duty by the President was indorsed hy the Omvention and sustained by the Republican voters at the polls, and would be justly regarded as the end of the controversy, and an abandonment of the Repul-licaii party of the principle of equality, of rights under the law for which we con-tend. "There are defeats that are victories and victories that are defeats." "A victory won at the expense of principle is an irretrievable defeat." The necessity which imjiels us to the step we propose to take is not of our seeking; it has lieeu thrust upon and a decision can not be avoided. We conscious that our motives will tie misrepresented; our acts misconstrued the bitter malignancy of party hacks and truckling placemen will be poured upon every conceivable falsehood will employed to annoy and injure the supple tools "who fawn and seek for power by doctrines fashioned the varying hour.

Jiut we are certain that we would be untrue to our own manhood, false to our convictions of duty, re creant to a great principle and to what we conceive to be tlie highest interest of the nation, if we neglected to denounce the treachery of the Administration of Rutherford 15. Hayes, or omitted to nse all honorable means to procure its condemnation, and, at the same time, resent the insult which the Cleveland Convention deliberately Hung in our faces. We, therefore, unfurl the standard of the independent, non-office seeking Republicans of Ohio, and urge all honest, men to rally around it, and right for the old faith the party until a vile treachery is condemned and the right vindicated.

Hisaiarming illness has suggested a canvass of the Senate politically in ease the misfortune of his death should give Governor Williams an opfiortunity to appoint a iN'inocnu as bis successor.
