Political critics have not recovered from the shock of yesterday's battle, yet. The President and his Secretary of State are reported as utterly indig nant, but their future course has not yet been indicated. House Colorado has been resumed. The House Military committee visit ed the Depart ment of fctate to examine some documents on file, and afterwards heard Gen Miles, the Indian fighter.

The bill introduced by Mr Morey, of Mississippi, and reterred to the Pacific Railroad committee, allows the South ern Pacific Conn any to continue its road from FTt Yuma along the route selected lor the lexHS lacilic Railroad until its track meets that of the latter road. The bill grants the lands before allowed to the Texas Pacific, which that company has forfeited by not com plying witb. the law requiring the building of the road within a certain time. The bill contemplates the two companies working from opposite ends towards a meeting point. Senate Mr Voorhees, of Indiana, submitted the following resolution, and gave notice'that he would cll it up on Tuesday, January 15th, 1878, for the purpose of submitting some re marks thereon : Resolved, That it is of the highest importance that the finaucial credit of the government he maintained, ai-d in order to do so the government itself, in all its departments, should in good faith keep all its contracts and obliga gations entered into with its own citi zens.

Further Details of the Plevna Engagement The Turks Be. new Offensive Operations Calmness in Constantinople and Ho Talk There of Peace. Lonbos. Dec. 13. The Russian ac count of the capture of Plevna confirms the details Already telegraphed. It says the Turks fought like lions. Seven Pashas were captured. The counting of the prisoners and trophies is not yet completed. The Emperor was present at the thanksgiving service held on the site of the former head quarters of Osman Pasha. The Russians bad information three days in advance, of Osman Pasha's in tention to sortie. At 7 o'clock in the morning Osman crossed the -Vid.by two bridges and attacked the Russian positions with such fury that they cap tured, eight cannon, and in a few min utes almost annihilated a Siberski grenadier regiment. The Turks then found themselves under the fire of a hundred cannon of the Russian second line, and were attacked by grenadiers who resolved to capture their guns. The Turks were driven back after a fifteen minutes bayonet fight, but con tinued to fire from the shelter of the banks of the Vid, until 12:15, when the firing ceased on both sides. A quarter of an hour afterwards Usman sent an envoy to treat for a surrender. Os- man's wound is in the leg, and is not serious. The Turks seem to have renewed offensive operations in the neighbor hood of Rustchuk. The report pre vailed at Constantinople last night that a great battle had been fought between Mechtka and Rustchuk, the result of which is unknown. Thus far, however, official reports from the Turkish head quarters onlv mention an affair with six Russian battalions The Times Pera dispatch, dated yes terdav, savs: "The fall of Plevna is still unknown to the Turks, generally, so it is impossible to estimate its effect upon the population, which, however. will probably maintain itsu?ual calm."

Paris, Dec. 13. Replying to the de putation of Senators and Deputies from the department of the Vasges and the city of Nancy, who represented the depression of trade with the 'entreaty that the President would place himself in direct com mtmication with the mod erate Republicans, MacMahon, much moved, declared that he had no per sonal ambition; that he was indifferent alike in regard to the Count DeCham bord, the Count De Paris and the Prince Imperial, and would maintain Republican institutions until 1880. He assured the deputatation that he was actuated by the best intentions, and would do nothing that was not dic tated by his conscience and the inter ests of the country. The uncertainty as to the formation of the cabinet continues. The meeting of the Republican Un ion, to-day, re-affirmed the resolve not to vote any portion of the budget, so long as the national wishes are not completely satisfied. The Constitutional announces that M Dufaure and Duke D'Audiffret Pas qi'ier were again summoned to the Elysee, yesterday, as President Mac Mahon refused to accept the pro gramme proposed by M Batbie. M Dufaure is stated to have submitted last night a list of the parliamentary cabinet including M Bordoux, Bethmont, Say, and Waddington. The Goulais publishes the same in telligence. Republican papers express great diss trust of these negotiations, and declare that the Left remains firmly resolved to obtain the execution of its whole programme.?' London, Dec 13. The Pall Mall Ga zette's dispatch from Paris says: "A deputation from tha Bonapartists in terviewed President MacMahon to-day and declared that they could no longer support his policy."
