Tht Turko-SerTiaH War Canfiu tia?
Reports ofTarkiih Successes Bra
very of Enssian Officers Teherna
yeff Eeinforced.
London, Sept 4. Belgrade dispatch
es to the Standard says : Simultane
ously with the fighting on the high
bank of the Morava, the Turkish forces
attacked Alexinatz from the right bank
of the river, The bombardment was
so effective, that the intensive fires
that broke out in the town announced
Alexinatz evacuated; but the fortressjs
still held by ten battalliona. And is de-?
ended by. powerful artillery. The
government publishes no news, but
confirms the statement that the Turks
are marching on Krusevatz. Another
dispatch to the Standard from Alexi
natz states that the Circassians enter
ed three Servian redoubts, Northwest
of Alexinatz. Mines filled with dyn
amites were discovered.
The Turks have gained a base for
operations against two villages, which
protect Alexinatz on the West.
A Belgrade telegram says : The
Russians are determined to form a
special corps. The valor of the Rus
sian officers in the battle of Friday, is
commented on; and it is reported that
somo were wounded by men under
their command.
A Reuter's Telegram from Semlin,
reports that a battle on Friday, on the
eft bank of Morava which resulted
disastrously to tho Servians. The
Turks after beating the right wing of
the Servians, mado a flank movement
in the direction of Kauvatz; their ob
ject being i to reach Belgrade. The
Turks have thus turned the Servian
position at Alexinatz, and the entire
military position is changed. The
Turks have already reached the height
of Justrevatz, halfway between Tesch-
tza and Kruzvatz. They are advanc
ing along the road which skirts the
eft bank of the Morava, and crosses
the river at Praskoratz and gains the
road between Alexinatz, and Belgrade
at Gabakovatz, a short distance from
Deligrade. Tchernayeff is now march
ing forth the bulk of his army toward
Kruzvatz. He has telegraphed to Bel
grade for re-inforcements. and the Ser
vian minister of war has ordered Gen
Antitch to march to Krenzeva with
12,000 men.
Deligrade, Sept. 4. Ou Sunday
evening, it was officially announced
that the rumor that the Turks have
taken Alexinatz is fahe. They hold i
no position on the right bank of the
Morava.
Belgrade, Sept. 4. Official dis
patches say that the entire Turkish
army attacked the Servian right wing
on Friday. The battle lasted until 9
o'clock at night. The Servians main
tained their positions, but the Turks
being three times more numerous, the
Servians finally retreated within their
fort i (ir d positions at Alexinatz.

New York, Sept. 4. The World Isays
Mr. Mcgu ire left Utica for Albaay on
Saturday afternoon, and spent yester
day in consultation with Gov. Tilden
and the members of the State Commit
tee there, including all of its officers,
andseveral of its members, The meet
ing of the Executive Committee of the
State Committee will take place at its
new headquarters in the Metropolitan
Hall, this city, next Thursday. It is
not improbable that a conference of
the whole Committee, may be sum
moned at an earlier date than the day
mentioned. Dispatches from various
parts of the State, leave the latter in
no doubt, and it is probable that the
Committee will call a State Conven
tion, to meet at once, probably at Utica
or Syracuse.

HVASHESToyD C. Sept. 4. The fol"
Iowine was referred to Gen. Sherman
for his guidance by the; Secretary of
War.and transmitted to aUnited States
Marshals for their government:
Rt . Th lwa of the United States
having made it my duty to exercise a
general direction over marsnais, in tne
nf diseharerine their offices . I
for their use this circu
lar-letter of instruction, as- to the
coming election, intending the same
also as reply oncejfor all to numer
ous application in like connection
from private citizeni in various States.
In the present condition of legislation,
the United States occupy a position
toward voters and voting which varies
according as the ..-elefctioa is for State
and other local pffifcers only, or for
m embers of Congress, and Presidential
electors. In electioi
bers of the House oi
are chosen, which b;
election!). &t which
is at which mem
Representatives
law include also
the electors for
President and 5 VicejPresident are an
pointed, tne unuea states secure
voters against whatever, in general
hinders, or prevents them from the ex
ercise of the elective franchise, extend
ing that care alike to the registration
lists, the act of voting1, and the person-'
al freedom and security of the voter,
at all times as well against violence,
on account of eany vote that he may
intend to give as against conspiracy,
because of any tKafehe may already
iiave given, -fhe paeVot ibe-United.
States, therefore which ypu are to
preserve and whose violation you are
to suppress protects among ethers the
rights specified in the last paragraph,
and any person who, by force violates
there rights, breaks that peace and
renders it your duty to arrest him, and
to suppress auy riots incident, or that
threaten the integrity of the registra
tions in election, to the end that the
will of the people in such election may
ascertained,and take effect, and that
offenders may be brought before the
courts for punishment. Notorious
events in several States, which recent
ly and in an unusual manner have been
publically reprobated, mado it a grave
duty of all marshals who have cause
to apprepend a violation of the peace
of tne United States, connected as above
with the elections, to be bad upon the
Tuesday after the first Monday in No
vember next, to be prepared to pre
serve and restore such peace as the
Chief Executive officer ef the United
States, in your district you will be
held responsible for all breaches of the
peace of the United States, which dili
gence on your part might have pre
vented, and for the arrest and securing
of all persons who violate that peace
in any of the points above enumerated.
Diligence in these matters requires of
Course that you be and continue pres
ent in person, or by deputy at all places
of registration, or election, at which
you have reason to suspect that the
peace is threatened, and that whenever
an embodiment of the posse comitotus
is required, to enforce the laws, such
embodiment be effected. You will ob
serve that the ''special" deputies men
tioned in section 2021 of the revised
statues.have peculiar duties assigned to
them duties which otherwise do not
belong to deputy marshals. Such
"special" deputies can be appointed
only in cities of twenty thousand in
habitants or upwards but the duties
assigned to marshals and their depu
ties by section 2022, er other like
statutes belong to all duly appointed
deputies, whether they be general or
be special, within the meaning of that
and the preceeding section. Deputies to
discharge this latter class of duties
may be appointed to any number what
ever according to the discretion of the
marshal, in all States in which sheriff
have a similar power.
Sections 2030 has no practical bear
ing upon this point in States where no
imit is imposed, upon the appoint
ment of deputies by sheriffs, because
in such States the laws of the United
States, prior to the 10th of June 1872,
text marshals also unlimited as to the
number of their deputies. In dis
charging the duties above mentioned,
you will doubtless receive the counten
ance and support of all the good citi
zens of the United 8tates in your re
spective districts. It is not necessary
that it is upon such continuance and
support that the United States mainly
rely in their endeavor to enforce the
right to vote, which they have giv
en or have secured. The present in
structions are intended only to coun
teract that partial malice, wrong dead
edness or inconsideration which some
times triumphs in critical moments,
over the Conservative, and in general
prevailing forces of society, nd to
which tne present and passing condi
tion of the country gives more than
ordinary strength, and therefore re
quires the government particularly to
observe and pravide against. In this
connection I advise that ypu and each
of your deputies general and "spe
cial have a right to summon to
yeur assistance, in preventing and
queuing disorder, every person in tne
district above 15 years of age whatever
mar be their occupation, whether civ
ilians, or not, and including the mili
tary of all denominations, militia, sol
diers, marines, alt of whom are alike

are organized as military bodies, whe
ther of the State or of the United States
under the immediate command of
their own officers, does not in any wise
effect their legal character. They are
still the possi comatatus. 1 prefer to
quote the above statement of the law
upon this point from an opinion by
my predecessor, Att'y Gen Cushing be
cause it thus appears to have been
well settled for many years, "6. opin
ions, 866, May 27th, 1854." I need
hardly add that there can be no State
law, or State official in this country
who has jurisdiction to oppose you in
discharging your official duties nnder
the laws of the United States. If such
interference shall take place, a thing
not anticipated, you are to disregard
it entirely. The laws of the United
States are supreme, and so consequent
ly is the action ef officials of the Unit
ed states in enforcing them. There is,
as virtually, you have already been
told, no officer of a State - whom you
may not by summons ' embody into
your own postt, and any State posse al
ready embodied by a sheriff, will, with
such sheriff, be obliged upon your
summons totaeome-arpart of a Unit
ed States posse, and obey you, or your
deputy acting vtrtute officio, liespon
sibil ty which devolves upon an officer
clothed with such powers and requir
ed to guard the highest right of citi
zens corresponds in degree with those
powers, and rights, and exacts of such
officer consideration, intelligence and
courage. It is proper .to advise you
that in preparing this circular, I have
considered recent im portantj udgments
given by the Supreme Court of the
United States, upon the acts of ( Con
cress which regulate this general topic.
I have provided the above instructions
Upon these acts as affected, by such
judgments, and I need in this place
add no more, than : that these judg
ments do not , concern elections for
federal officers, you will find appended
in full or by reference to such statu
tory provisions as it seems important
that you and your deputies shall in
this connection read and consider. In
matters of doubt you are of course en
titled to the advice of the United States
Attorney for your district. 1 These in
structions have been submitted to the
President, and have his approval.
Very Respectfully,
Your Obedient Servant,
(Signed) Alfhonso Taft,
Attorney General.
