WEDNESDAY, JAN. 9th, 1878. J. VAN SLYKE, Editor. A ORIIIOU MOURN* FOB KUROPK Two f«et of snow lit Bulgaria and tli* interruption of the Russian com­ munications across the Danube, puts an «iul to Russians forw ard movement for the next two months at least. To make the most of this respite. Turkey has induced the British Government to sound the Czar as to his willingness to outer iuto negotiations, the terms of p»ace<t>o >be subsequently proposed Mid considered. This will either 4ttMigu- rate negotiations which mayor may. not bring pea<te,crr it m -caTl forth •tich a Hussian ultimatum as will force tile other great Powers into decisive attitudes. Will Rij/ssiaquit while the tlic honors of the war are easy, and be $6ntent with concessions and gurantees Which the other powers will consider proper and magnanimous? ®r willfihe demand such indemnities, as can be ex­ torted for her only by the w arlike sup­ port of Germany and Austria? It all depends upon the unknown de­ tails ot the agreement which ts known to have been entered into by the three (#toperor8. Russia's magnanimity is in unknown quantity, while Che tra­ ditional policy and arms of her autoo ftits are as familiar to the world as the j|ames of the Slack Sea, the Dardanelles •nd Constantinople. To what extent id o« What conditions her pursuit of iMe Aims in this instance will be mntenanced and -supported by Aus- -Germ any, is a question which ||)e logic of events will soon answer.-- In the meantime, we can only repeat ffbe -expression -of our gtroug belief Jhat the bluft'game which the two lat- flBr powers are playing in tho interest #f Russia, is full of danger to .the gen- §ral pe&ce of Europe. HOW mi: WAS mu ArntcT TTHADK. America Is in no way responsi­ ble for the situation of affairs. in Eu­ rope, and cannot change it If she Would. Her wishes will not sflfoct the result in anyway, and she is therefore left no choice but to take a business View of the affect. It is evideut that a general war in Europe would be a sort of wind-fall to this country:. It would greatly Increase the demand for our breadstuff*, ourprwiaHMW.tand the pro­ duce of our mines and workshops, thereby greaxly iftureashig the husi: ness of our railroads. Involving all the great cointnerciift natioas of Europe as beligereivta, it would give almost the entire currying trade on the high seas to vessels -sailing under onr neutral flag. And "while .stimulating all our activities and advancing our interests in those ways, it would most assuredly pour another flood of immigration up­ on our shoes. Besides those who would flee from conscriptions, multitude^:, would be driven from Europe by the after-burden of suffering and taxation which such « war must entail; and again, more longingly perhaps than ever before, the eyes of the European masses would be turned to the great Amercan Republic as the only land of liberty-and plenty on earth which is exempt by positiou from standing ar­ mies and incessant wars. Aud because our'people take this practical view of the warVeffest upon their iuteresta, it does not follow that they ignore the humanitarian side of the question, and desire the war to become general in p>rder that they may profit by the mis­ eries and misfortunes iu which it will involve the populations of. the old world. It is not our faijlt that two great nations are fighting desperately iu a quarrel that has caused many wars and is not likely to be settled till all the great Powers take a hand* in the strife We can do no good by deplor­ ing and lamenting the fact, and the best thing we can do rbout it is to set those fellows over there a good exam­ ple by accumulating, while they waste and destroy both labor and property. • GHICAOO MAliKETS. 1 iNMtt the Pmtub «f Tuesday Eveiwng:,] The receipts Of Live Hogs and Cat­ tle were heavy to-d*y, and business at the Stock Yards has again assumed Its usual and seasonable activity; drovers • report the roads in the country are improving, but as yet are rough aud uneven; and the driving of stock rath­ er difficult. The reco Ipts^f County Produoo aro only moderate; a large share oif theg Dressed Poultry and Feathered Garnet, arrive*! in a frozen condition, most of which vvlll have to sell at a large dis­ count from that fresh aud not frozen. Butter was very quiet, and buyers of low and medium grades were not offer­ ing within 2c per lb «r good prices «a last week.

RICE HSF*SECRETAKV SHERMAN had Ills at­ tention called, in New York, the other IIay, to a letter he wrote in 1868, con­ tending that the bonds were payable H^greonbacks, and he forthwith edified *he Wall -street brethreu with this •iPologK, explanation, jf, prevaricat­ ion : NEW YORK, Dec. 28,187T.--TO THE PITOR OF THE . DAILY BULLETIN- CM* Sir:--The letter referred to was ntten by me in 1868, and has been rinted a thousand times and explain- d as often in debate and elsewhere, he question raised by it was settled y the act of March, 1869, partly fram­ ed by me, and so as to cover the point -fraised in tne letter. I insisted that he first duty of the Government was o resume payment of United States otes in coin "before raising any ques- ioti with the bondholder"; but that f the matter was to be decided pure- y upon the face of the law, the argu- iifiit was altogether in favor • of pay- ng certain classes of bonds in United tates notes, but that the Government >ught not to avail itself of this privi- ege while it dishonored its own notes nd refused to pay them in coin. Very Respectfully, JOHH SHKKMAN. And Mr. SHERMAN might add that when be went back on his greenback ^iows, and begaa to advocate coin pay- l^nent, he at first, In hi« speeches, jftiways used the phrase of the in­ stitution, "gold orhilver.w Now let ">iakn explain the duplicity which has made him go back on that, and advocate ^payment in gold alone.

Full sets of Artificial Teeth Inserted tor mi't m. i % t~0$i;d l^When the Southern Confederacy went to wreek there was a balance of from twelve to fifteen millions of dol­ lars deposited to its credit in the Bank .England,/.and there it lies yet. No " ^mortal has a legal l ight to ds maud it. The Secretary of the U. S. Treasury has been urged to take steps in the English courts to recover it for the United States, on the ground that it is the legitimate successor to the defunct confederacy. Iu reply to this, repre­ sentatives of the British government ^expressed themselves as perfectly •^willing to recognize the United States as the successor of the defunct Confed­ eracy, and to turn over to It all balan- ,-ices formerly belonging to the Confed- ggieracy held in Great Britain, providing fpthe United States would assume its liabilities to British subjects. Assist­ ant Secretary French, in a comprehen­ sive opinion which he has prepared on the subject, has now advised that no steps be taken in this. matter by the United States Government, on the .ground that .the only result would be the incurring useless fxpense. This is fSprobably the end of the matter during .Jlthe^present administration. K • . A^The testimony in the Vanderbllt ^ * ^case bos brought out the fact that ' Cornelius Jr. borrowed about $80,000 . from Horaco*Greeley, and that the old ; Commodore softened enough before he f >died to pay $10,000 to Greeley's chii- ' dren. In view of the facts the tPhila- f delphia Times very pertinently Miss: "Hasn't It occurd to those who are ||$ wrangling over an estate of a huudred millions or so, that the full sum due to Mr.-Greeley's estate should be prompt­ ly paid with interest? Itis known that ftho income of Mr. Greeley's children is, [f:Idat present, quite limited, and, while ^|the law may not direct the payment of Lthe Yanderbilt debt, there is a higher llaw of honor and morals that oould be : studied with profit by Xher Yaodeirbilt TAX-PAYKKS--THK LAW. There is an impression, to a very great extent through the country, that the tax on real property can not he collected out of personal property. Some suppose that they, can pay their personal property, and allow the tax on reality to run until the last day allowed the collector to close the list and publish delinquents. The fact is that the township collectors are re­ quired to collect both real and personal tax at the same time, and if necessary the reality tax can be made out of tho personal property. Below is the law in regardto this matter, which is pub­ lished for the beueJit of the tax-payer and the collector. p Page 855. Sec. 255. Revised, Statutes. Personal property shaU he liable for taxes levied on real property, and real property shall be liable for t^axes levied on personal property, except in cases of removals, or where said tax cannot be made out of the personal properly ; but the tax on real property may be made out of peisonal property, at ayy time after the tax becomes due, by any collector having the tax book in his hands, by distraint and sale, in the manner provided in his act: Proxnded. that judgment against real property, for non-payment of taxes thereon, shall not be prevented by showing that the owner thereof was possessed of person­ al property subject to distraint; and no person shall be subjeot to have his personal property distrained and sold for tax on real estate which may have beon listed aud assessed in his name, when he makes oath or otherwise sat­ isfies the collector, that he did uot own such real property on the preceding first day of May.

JOHN FLU8KY. McHenry, 111., Sept 25th, 1877. N E W % USa^-Secretary Sherman thinks the Silver Bill will become a law, and is said to look as gloomy about it as a first-class graveyard. Cheer up, man ! There is renewed business activity, general prosperity, enlarged exports, greatly increased manufactures, and the resumption and maintainance of specie payments--all this is in the res­ toration of the old silver dollar. But it is rather hard on the Syndicate; and it does knock into smithereens the plan for a kind of "resumption" which shall be suspended by the Treasury De­ partment at will. flSTThe Chleago Evening Post of Monday says: ' Is there a hell? was the subjeet of sermons in three of r pulpits yesterday. Rev.
