EVENING EDITION.
TUKHISH UVlvlllSHIBS,
There is nothing more horrible in
the last two hundred, years than the
butcheries perpetrated by the Turks
at Eski Saghra after its evacuation
by the Russians. Men, women and
. children, tothe number of from be
tween 12,000 and 15,000, were either
shot down as they emerged from their
homes, or were burnt alive in their
hoo3es.. Not only so, but the worse
than. barbarians, not satisfied with
their cruelties to the helpless hot
content ' with slaying and outrag
ing, burnt and destroyed all the
property owned by Christians all
overthe Tchircan district. In addi
tion to the awful loss of life, and the
nnimagined sufferings of the victims
of the monstrous barbarities, the
Turks are reported to liave destroyed
three hundred churches and five
hundred schools and colleges. We
presume there is no doubt of the cor
rectness of the accounts of the awful
visitation upon the unfortunate
Christians, for both the correspond
ent of the London Times and the
KT,n .. r ii
, ere, especially at Eski Saghra.
What will the civilized world say
of such stupendous crimes, such
atrocious barbarities? Will Germany
and England and the remainder ; of
the world look upon such hideous
scenes such wholesale butchery,
and yet raise no hand to arrest, raise
no voice to -condemn, to denounce?
Or will the Christian nations con
tinue their sympathy with the cause
of brutes and barbarians who disgrace
the human form, and who should ;be
driven fiom Europe where they are
intruders and oppressors ? t
It would indeed be a curious, a re
pliant incident in England's career
if she were to become the ally Of a
people who are controlled by ag
, gressive fanaticism, and whose mis
sion is death a,nd destruction to Chris
tians and Christianitv. The Queen in
her speech upon the proroguing of
Parliament spoke of England's neu
trality, of her desirp to interfere in
the interests of peace when occasion
offered, and her confidence in her
people, to vindicate and maintain
the rights of her Empire "if en
dangered or assailed." There will
be no English interference, as we be
lieve, after this. England is Pro
testant to the core, and her neonla
.. - . - i - -1
will never sustain a Ministry that
makes war as the ally of cut-throats,
house-burners and barbarians. Mr.
.Gladstone and his sympathizers re
ceive powerful aid, .a new and resist
less ally, in the sad and fearful ac
counts that Englishmen have sent
from the East.
, The English Government is actual-
, ly taxed $32,500,000 to buy food to
, feed the famishing inhabitants of
those districts in .. India where
Mcl-w.at $7.(W per year, 4.( for sixmonths,
MOUUHy, v j iJi7nFrtn month, to mail
droughts prevail When only sotne
three cents are givrJIi daily to each
sufferer, you may estimate the mag-;
rtitude of " the famine; Our govern-
ment has no such tax toi boar, and
our people are spared such' horrible
sufferings. , .
UNITY AND IISCIII.1NK,
It requires more wisdom to use a
victory wisely than it does' to gain'iC
There is more danger to a party
when it is largely in the asoendant
than when it .is struggling for viotory ,
or is only a little stronger than ;the
enemy. The Jcouniry understands
the Republican party. That pa,rty
has a history extending back through
nearly Xwenty years. " It has brought
unmeasured afflictions upon our laud.
It has visited uutold sorrow, untold
evils upon-the South. Our people
are not ignorant of w hat , has been
done. They will never forget the
pains and penalties of the past. It -'is
then of the first importance that the
organization of the Democratic party
should be strictly maintained in every
State. It will never do for it to be
defeated in thei.Soulh through dis
cords and bickerings, The very safe
ty of civil liberty the conservation
of a Republican form of government
in our land rests solely upon the
strength, fidelity and unity of this
great party. 1
Holding these views, which ;we
have often 'expressed during the last
four or five months, .we are, glad to
sec that Senator Beck, of Kentucky,
in a speech on the political situation
delivered on August 4th, ' has dis
cussed forcibly and earnestly the ne
cessity of harmony and of strict par
ty discipline. We copy . a few sa
lient utterances from his vigorous ad
dress. After referring to the pro
gress of Democratic . principles and
policy, and giving encouragement by
a survey of the field, he said: '
"With such prospects, with such u cause,
when we all know that success is only pos
sible through unity of action and purpose;
when the only tactics left to the enemy is
to divide in order to conquer us, it seems
to me to be the very extreme of madness
and folly for Democrats now to allow any
thing to separate or weaken them. I can
hardly understand how men can run 'inde
pendent' or vote for 'independents' t a
time like this. I fully appreciate the poli
cy of Radicals, who cannot electa mem
ber of their own party, fostering discontent
and placing in office refractory or rebel
lious Democrats; but how any Democrat
can either abandon or weaken the power
or the discipline of his party now passes my
comprehension. ' ' j
"The organization ,and discipline of a
party must be as compact as that of an
army. Our strength in Kentucky is our
most dangerous source of weakness, per
sonal wrangles for place rarely divide us
when our opponents are equal, or nearly
equal, in strength; they spring up and de
stroy us wnen the . opposition can only be
felt in our dissensions : by throwing its
weight into one scale or the other. That
is their policy now, all over Kentucky.
Strict party discipline alone can counteract
it You know that the enemy would
never support a soldier in any conflict, civil
or military, who is not in their opinion aid
ing their cause and weakening the man
they are seeking to defeat. 1 repeat, pur
only safety is in unity, subordination Ho
party discipline, obedience to the will of the
majority." T; ;
CROTCHETS, f
We knew an excellent man, now
dead, who was horrified when he saw
a professing Christian reading a gqod
story. He thought it a great Bin.
The same excellent man wanted! to
publish a series of school-books that
should contain none of jiEsop's fables,
for, said he, they are nothing but lies.
He thns made war upon two forms
of literature, examples of which may
be found more or less in the Bible.
His crotchet was to condemn every
thing that was imaginative or fanci
ful, and not serious, simple, and mat
ter-of-fact. We were reminded of a
good man's narrow. way of regarding
life and letters, by the following en
joyable paragraph in the Richmond
Christian Advocate, from that cleri
cal wit, "Brother Lafferty," who! is
so well named: : i :
"Dr. Lovick Pierce, nigh unto a hun
dred, has found a new target, unslings his
now emptying his cartridee-box at "Pic
viwuuiwi. uuu to a uitui; awav, XAO la
torial Idolatry" that is, illustrated litera
ture. Dr. Deems Sunday Maaaane is
specially signtea ana snot at. : it seems to
us we once saw a "profusely embellished"
book a pantheon of 'Pictorial Idolatry"
the Smithson Methodist Pulpifc and. ?if
our memory serves us right,"- there was 4
costly engraving in it of Dr. Lovick Pierce. "
ANOTHER PUVFHECY. "
Wo gave extracts recently frpm a
very remarkable letter written by the
ate eminent Lord Macaulay concern
ing the futnre of our country. We
find in an exchange another propheiic
warning from one of the most distin
guished men of the country. Charles
Sumner was the greatest man New
England has had ia the Senate sirjee
the death of Daniel Webster. He
hated the South, he was a fanatic 'of
the first water, but he had , large
learning and very high abilities.; Be
fore his death he became a wiser and,
we may hope, a better man. He saw
the dangers that beset the progress
oi our country, lie and others hid
helped to sow the dragon's teeth pf
discord and injustice,of false political
philosophy and ethics, and he had a
sort of prevision of the i country's
future. . r ' " j
We copy the following whih as
Worth considering. Other men ani
mated by higher motives, and with a
clearer conception of ' the genius of
our institutions, might assume thb
prophet's robe and foretell equal dis
aster to a country that within tha first
century of its 'existence ignored the
great chart of its liberties, and threw
to the winds the; great .' principles of
honor. . and- justice -and humanity -What
could be expected . of a' people
who stood by those t who -proclaimed
that most dangerous and ; pestilential,
of, doctrines that there- was a' law:
for their guidance, and, to which tlier
bowed, that was higher than ''the don
stitution of theirfcountry and which'
they had solemnly sworn t,o uphold
and defend ? Here is the prophesy
and its history; t ; r ?
"The Pottsville (Pa.) Standard relates
that at a dinner given by Mr. Sumner to a
few friends, a short time, before his final
illness, ho drifted at length upon what ;ap3
pearcd to him to be the future of the Amer
ican Republic. His manner was particu
larly serious, and he announced his convic
tions with a solemnity of tone , which af
fected his auditors profoundly, lie con
cluded his harangue in these words :
" 'I won't live to see it; but you will, gen
tlemen; you will if you live to be as old s
I am now; you will see the streets of bur
cities run with blood, and the blood will be
the blood of our own people, by our own
people. ' The future of America looks very
dark to me.'" '
Good government in South Caro
lina is appreciated by the colored
people. They are seeing what is the
difference -in the peace, prosperity
and happiness under benignant sway
and when thieves rule 'the roast. Wo,
copy the following encouraging para
graph from a" Republican paper, tho
Baltimore American: !
"In South Carolina some of the negroes.
before the Hampton-Chamberlain contro
versy was settled, paid their taxes to John
son, the Republican State Treasurer, at the
Kepublican tax rate of twenty two rnuls on
the dollar. The money is now returning
to them through Mr. Johnson's hands, and
as they can pay the Hampton taxes at the
rate of twelve mills on the dollar and keep
the remainder, they arc already enjoying
one of tho practical benefits of a reformed
financial administration in the State." :
Gen. Sheridan thinks that Col.
Gibbon's battle with the Nez Perces
is a victory. It-may -be so, but- it
would not surprise us if Chief Joseph
did not wear Howard's scalp as a
trophy, yet. The trouble is that
somebody else docs the fighting and
O. O. IL does the blowing. But, as
the poem we ; published yesterday
Bays,
"You can't judge a cockshy his crow."-.;

Owner is arrested and sentenced to work a
year for the neighbors that were disturbed,
and the dog is killed. Exchange. ' j .,-
What a depopulating of Wilming
ton would take place if this law pre

President Hayes is too strong
in the confidence of tho country for
Jim Blaine to jostle him in the sad

responsibilities upon him. But he

patriotic sense ef the sitnalion.

President Hayes hits tho pop
ular thought when he appeals to his
friends in Vermont to remember that
these are hard times, and to forbear
spending money on bouquets and ex
pensive receptions for him during his
visit. A good square hand-shake, he
thinks, is better than any quantity of
splurge. lie . doesn't . seem to care
much for finger-bowls and, full-dress
parties, but he enjoys the quiet re
cognition and approval of the com
mon people. There is Sense as well

make him friends wherever he travels.

The imp of repudiation has
captured the Constitutional Conven
tion of Georgia. . It is sad and disap
pointing to see a body which had
shown so much good sense in its pro
ceedings fall an easy prey to that ma
lign power. Having the future fame
and welfare of. the State in its keep
ing, the Convention has deliberately
bartered these away for the sake of
present ease and comfort. Of course
repudiation is the popular side to take
in Georgia. '.' So it was in Minnesota,
Michigan and Arkansas. So it would
be in many communities where the

The Vienna correspondent of the flews
reports that at Kustendji there is a panic,
owing to the bombardment Of the place by
the Turks.' Kustendji. was occupied; by
only two regiments of the Fourteenth Army
Corps and one battery." They will evacuate
the town meanwhile, for the protection of
foreign subjects.' An English steiimerjhas
arrived in the port. . i . v
Bulgarian families are leavingTirnova in
large numbers for the Danube,.as an attack
on the place by the Turks is daily expected.
The News publishes the following special,
dated Kadikor, Tuesday, but no news of
the engagement referred to , has been 're
ceived from any other source. ;
"An engagement occurred yesterday at
Topekeny, in which the Russians defeated
the Turks and captured five cannon. Os-.
man Pasha hai arrived within four hours'
march of Tirnova. The Russians are re
treating from Topekeny. ThejT have been
reinforced." ; - j
The News" Athens dispatch announces
that another field battery left for the fron
tier to-day. . -

The 'limes' Bucharest correspondent tele
graphs that frince JiiUgene, of liuchten
berg, who commanded the force- of : dra
goons and Bulgarians under Gen. Gourko,
had great difficulty in extricating himself,
when the Russians were compelled: to
evacuate Eski Saghra.! He was surrounded,
but cut his way out with a loss of 800 men.
The limes has the following, dated
Shu ml a, Aug. 14: j -
"Suleiman Pasha announces that his van
guard has, without any opposition, pressed
forward. as far as Ferdinokin, on the road
to Elena, and the entrance to the defile ofa
the samp name, and that it seems as if the'
Russians wish to abandon the pass."
The limes' Adriunople special confirms
the foregoing, v i t
The Time? occasional Vienna correspon
dent says it. is rumored that Gen. Ignalieff's
indisposition is a feint, and that he has sud
denly fallen into disgrace. .The passage of
the Balkans was mainly resolved on in con
sequence of his assurance that with the
Turks anything might be ventured upon.
