According to recent war news the
tide of success has ehanged. The
Russians have met with reverses near
Tirnova," where they ' are reported to
have lost 3,000 men; and at Kamarli,
where they assaulted the Turkish po
sition, and were repulsed, losing con
siderably. . It is also reported that
Suleiman Pasha is endeavoring to cut
the Russian communications on the
northern slope of the Balkan moun
tains. . If he succeeds he will be able
to unite his forces with . those of Os

The country will be glad to learn
that there is a good prospect of re
pealing the iron-clad and test oaths,
that are a disgrace to our Republican
government. , The J udiciary commit
tee have agreed to report in favor of
their repeal. ; ,
P. S. Since the above .;was in type
the telegraph informs us that the test
oath has been repealed, and also the
act disqualifying jurors on account
of participating in the . "rebellion."
How those" Yankees love to stigma
tize their betters! Rebellion Is a
bright word in . American history.
Washington, Henry, Robt. E. Lee,
were all "rebels."
The French news still continues to
be greatly mixed. Nothing definite
iu the way of a settlement has oc
curred.' There are plenty of rumors
and speculations, but it is impossible
to perceive, as yet, a way of escape
out of the serious complications. The
most significant occurrence is the vi
sit of the merchants and manufactu
rers to the Elysee, for the purpose of
presenting an address to the Presi
dent, and their rebuff. The message
they sent may mean a good deal. "In
form the President," said the indig
nant visitors, that we are the van
guard of an imposing demonstration,
which to-day numbered, a thousand,
to morrow will number a . hundred
thousand, and the next day a million
of men." i
