[BT CABLE TO THE HERALD.]
I .ox do.v, April 9, 1877.
Tlio new* from the East this morning Is meagre, and
(boss wbo occupy ibemselves with speculating on tbs
chances of peace or war hare few facta upon which to
base their theories. Tho feeling ibat Russia means
war in any evont is gaining ground from
day to day. and every new more of the
Russian diplomatists tonds to giro color to
the belief. Having praolically abrosatod tbe Treaty
of Paris, and to a certain dogroe obtained the sanction
o! Europe for direot armed interference In Turkey,
there is now little left for Russia to do than prepare
her armies for an immediate advance and to seek
the pretext necessary to Justify an appeal
to arms. The altitude of the Bosnian Mus
sulmans bids fair to supply that needed
casus belli, and if they are too slow for Muscovite
purposes a very slight amount of provocation lrom
Slavonic emissaries or Russian agents woald easily
produce the desired result. In tho meantime we
hear of nothing from Russia but warlike preparations
and rumors of an early hostile movement.
TBS 8TRCOOLK XKAR AT HAXD.
Advices from Berlin state that, notwithstanding tho
authoritative statement to tho contrary, the Intelli
gence that the Czar will not go to Ems title summer, ae
has been bis custom, is regarded as evidence ol the
ootbroak of a Kusso-Turkisb war In a fow weeks.
Should the Porto comply with tho protocol, Russia will
find new means to mako war inevitable. Telegrams
from Odossa rocolved in Vienna, report that hurried
preparations are making in all the ports ol the Black
Sea to meet an apprehended attack of tbe Torklah iron
clad fleet.
TURKISH AXXIBTT FOR TRACK.
An extraordinary counotl of Ministers was held in
Constantinople yestorday. Transmission of ths de
cision arrived at has not yet been allowed. It is cx
puotod that doflnlto resolutions will bo adopted regard*
Ing the protocol, tho question of disarraamont and iho
negotiations with Montenegro, and will be
oommonlcated to tho Chargds d'Aflatros to-day. Somo
nooasinoss prevails as to the result of the delibera
tions. Whatever tbe decision may he tbe opinion
seems to be gaining ground that the Porto will yield on
the question of disarmament Tho Berlin correspond
ent of tbe Time* announces that in compliance with tho
request ol tho Czar, Turkey has consented to be tbe
first to disarm.
Tho Time*, In its lender, considers its special an*
nouncement from Benin that Turkey baa agreed to dia>
arm flrst may be premature, tho precise character of
the decistou being yet unknown. A Vienna eorre
epoudent declares that tbe tempnr of tbe Turkish
Parliament regarding tbe protocol will not admit of
any attempt ut compromise.
A FINAL DECISION COMING.
Tho Times correspondent at Vienna says this morn
ing that, as Is nlways ttio case on tbo eve of groat
decisions, rumors are circulating In dlroct opposition
to each other. They meroly lndlcato that the decision
Is still pending. Everything, however, tends to
bislon H. There lias boon no lacK of ad
vice from England, who now takes tho
lead in negotiations with Turkey. Not a day
has passed since tho protocol was signed, that the
British representative has not conferred. with' the
Turkish Ministers; nor havo these conferences been
without result, lor the rigid, uncompromising attitude
which the Porta was Inclined to nssume at
first toward tho protocol, regarding It us In
sulting and unlit lor discussion, has, to a
certain extent, givon way to better oounsels. It would
now seem that the danger of an absolute refusal Is
rnoie or loss obviated and thnt Turkey is Inclined, not
Indeed to accept, but to nogotiaio about eventual ac
ceptance. As a first preliminary, however, the with
drawal of the Russian declaration is demanded, which
Is considered an insult by Turkey. The point about
ponce with Montenegro should, In the view of the
Porte, also disappear.
As for disarmament Thrkey proposes to have reg
ular diplomatic Intercourse renewed when direct
negotiations might go on through ambassa
dors by telegraph. As to the Russian
declaration there is uot much probability that
Russia will withdraw It, for alio Is bound
to It In the face of Europe. Even if
Turkey Is made to seo this, it is almost
certain tnat she will not send a special envoy
to St. Petersburg, ns snch a mission Is looked upon In
Constantinople us a demand by Russia that Turkey
should sue lor poacaai St. Petersburg.
THAT KKTIRKMKNT Or BISMARCK.
It is.now assorted In Berlin that Prince Bismarck
will provisionally bo contonted with four months'
leave or absence, bat will not quit Berlin before the
closing ot tho Reichstag. It is now doubted whether
tho quosliou will be settled boiore the roussembllug of
the Rclchsiag.

GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES.
Wasbixoton, April 8, 1877.
THE FREEDMEN'S BUREAU?PROGRESS OF SET
TLING UP THE BUSINESS OF THE DEFUNCT
INSTITUTION?THE COLORED SOLDIERS OF THE
WAR AND THEIR CLAIMS.
The work of settling up the affairs of the Isle Freed
men's Bureau, now In charge of tbo Adjutant General
of the Army, is progressing slowly, and the ex
penses of the concern are steadily decreasing, though
It cannot be stated with accuracy as to when the
business will be entirely finished. It Is now confined
strictly to the payment of claims ot colored soldiers
and tailors sud their heirs, for bounty, arrears of pay,
prize money, Ac., and could be moved forward more
rapidly were It not fer the tact that many of the
claimants whose claims are unpaid resido at re
mote or Inconvenient points, or nave changed their
places of residence since filing their claims, and their
present locations are unknown. The law requires that
tho money must bo paid directly to tbo claimanlrby
the disbursing officer of the government, and cannot
bo paid to an attorney, as In other cases. This law was
passed to proteot the colored people from sharpers, It
having been found tbat tbey were often swindled by
such persons, who collected the monov as attorneys,
but never paid u dollar of it to tbe claimants. There
are now only four offices for tbe payment of ibeso
claims. Tbey aro located at New Orleans, Memphis,
Louisville, and Washington, 1). C., the whole under di
rection of Thomas M. Vincent, Assistant Adju
tant General United States Army. The force
employed consists of lour commissioned of
ficers, soveoteen clerks and seven messen
gers and janitors. Tbo officos liavo been reduced
from time to time as circumstances Justlflod, and
corresponding reductions In tho clerical lorce have
bcon made. During ibe post year three ofllcos were
closod and twolro clerks and two Jnuitora dismissed.
Every effert Is boiog made to ascertain the where
abouts of claimants whose claims have been allowod,
and the Adjutant Genoral recontly addressed a circular
to each Senator and Representative In Congress Irom
the Southern Statos, calling their attention to the (act
that all colored soldiers or sailors, or their legal repre
sentatives, who have received notice from tho Treas
ury Departmont that certificates have been Issued In
settlement of their olaims lor pay, bounty, prlzo
money, Ac., and who bavo uot recolvcd tlio amount
due them, can now be paid promptly without lurtbor
expense to claimants, so soon as his office shall have
learnod their post office address. 'He tbercforo re
quests such Senators and Representatives to notify all
claimants within their reach of such circular, and in
conclusion says:?
It is desirable to pay as many claimants as practica
ble prior 10 June 30 next, lor after mat dale there may
he delay In, and, after a tow months, an entire suspen
sion ol payments, owing to tho limited appropriation
inndo by the recent Congress. $16,000 only haviug bean
appropriated to conduct the work of paying, instead of
$60,000, as estimated lor by the Wat lieDariment
Your aid in the matter, as Indicated, will not only
bouofit the colored claimants, bat prove advantageous
to the public service.
It Is estimated that upon the 1st of July next there
will remain npnld about two thousand claims which
havo been allowed, aggregating $800,000, and that
during tho fiscal yoar ending June 30, 1878,
there will bo received Irora tho Second Au
ditor approved claims amounting to $340,000, making
a total of $540,000 to bo paid from July 1, 1877, to Juno
30, 1878; but on account ol tho very small appropria
tion to carry on this work during tho next llscal year
payments may have to b? suspended. Tho wbolo
amount disbursed during tho fiscal year ending June
30, 1875, was $620,374, and lor the llscal year ending
Juno 30, 1870, $'.'00,077. The appropriation to defray
tho expenses attending the paymout ol bounties, Ac.,
for the year ending Juno 30, 1870, was $76,000, of
which $55,208 was expended. The wholo number of
colored soldiers mustered in during the war was
160.024. Of tbese 86,923 were mustered out, 20,230
wore discharged lor physical disability, 31,800 died.
14,887 deserted, 1,514 were killed in action, 1,344 were
missing In action and the others romalned In tervlco,
wcro discharged lor various causes, transferred to the
navy or other branches of tbo service.
BRA COAST FORTIFICATIONS?DEFICIENCIES IN
ARMAMENT OWINQ TO WANT OF APPROPRIA
TIONS?OOB HABBOR8 DEFENCELESS AOAINHT
IKON-CLAD8.
Tho armnmont of the sea coast fortifications with
suitable guns lias oeon urged upon Congress by tho
Orduauce Department ol tbo Army lor years past, but
It Is claimed ibat the appropriations have been en
tirely Insutllcicnt for that purpose. The amount up.
propriaiod at Ibo last session (or tho armament of sea
coast delences, including heavy guns and howitzers
lor flank de'ence, carriages, projectiles, Inses, powder
and Implements, thoir trial and prool, and all noccs
sary expenses Incident thereto during tho next fl-cal
year was but $100,000. Experienced ordnance officers
contend that It should have been a', least $1,000,000 to
properly arm those defences. Tbo Ordnance flnrcau
now has on hand fifty 8-lncb rifled guns, converted from
thoten-iucb Rodman smooth bores by lining them
wltb a wrought Iron tube, which aro to bo placod In
the formications, though they arc not tho proper gun
lor that purpose^ It Is agreed that notblog smaller
than a twelve-Inch rilled gun should bo used In tho
sea coast formications, but we havo nouo ol tbnt
calibre, although platforms have been constructed and
thcro is every facility in onr lortlilcatlons for mount.
Ing at least 2,050 effective guns It is calculated that
tho eight-Inch guns will penetrate eight inches of Iron
at u distance of 1,000 yards, but there aro many Iron
clads which are covered with a greater thicknotsol
Iron, and our eight-Inch guus would not do much to
stop their progress.
It has been said that wo have not a gun In nnybfour
fortifications of sufllelont calibre to atop a powerful
Ironclad Irom coming Into any of our harbora; and
that tho only reason why wo aro In this condition l.?
tbnt necessary monoy is not appropriated to manu
facture guns. IVe havo officers and workmen who
know how to do H as well as those of any nation upon
the face of the earth, Movers) experimental guns bavo
btsn made during id* past two or thrss yoars, dot
do monsy is available to tool them, ana tbey in of bo
use. Tbo 12-iocb Tbompaoa rifle breocb-loader, the
9-inch Sutcliff rifle breech-loader and the 10-lneh
Woodbrldge rifle muzxie-loader are all bow gnns and
Bbonld bo property tested. The projectile for the
Thompson gun weighs about 700 pounds, and
coats about $75, though tho same projectile in
experimental tests can be used orvr and over again by
belog dug out ol the conic Into which it Is tired. Tho
usual charge of powder tor a gun of this calibre costs
about $40. Experienced ordnance officers also argue
that In regard to small arms we are worse off to-day
than we wcro In 1801. At that time wc bad 100,000
muzzle-loading muskets; now such guns are outol use
and breech-loaders are the only guns used. But as
thero haa been no appropriation lor their manufacture
tbo government could not arm more than 60,000 troops
to-day If tho necessity lor raising an army should
occur.

Washington, April 7, 1877.
It appears that now complications have arisen in
South Carolina nffalrs. Governor Chamberlain and hla
Iricnds, it is sutd, have determined lo make an effort

under a clause in the constitution ol South Carolina,
which provides that all officers shall continue to dis
charge the duties of their office until their successors

Inquiry of tho shippers who owued tho Uouiiuko,

companies Interested, promptly brought out the (act
that no importanco is utlached to the statements tu
the Boston newspaper.
MAGllltlC'S STORY UKLIKYEO.
Magnlre's story is believed Implicitly by all who
bavo most at stake In ibis matter, and the Investiga

fact that the underwriters will pay all loss. Magulro
was sought and found by tbc Ukkai.d correspondent

WATER WASTE.
To thk Editor or tiib Hkkild:?
In to-duy;8 Issuo ol your valuable paper I dud several
Items about tlio ".Supply ol the Crotou Water," and I
knowing, from my own observation, a good dea about
the enormous "waste" ol tho water, would state some
facts. There aro thousands of people who leave tho
wator closets In their houses running continually, day
and nlgbt?yes, month* and years. Homo to prevent
thorn trom smelling, others to keep them from tree/.
Ing In winter. Then again there are thousands of
houses whero there are leaky pipes and lancets, which
tro kept In Ibis bad condition for months until some
ono ol the Croton Department gola wind ol tins or I he
Water lospector comes arouml, and even tlmn these
leuks art- neglected lor month". Again, m sunnn<-r
lime people mil kscp tho water running so as to keep
It cool when they wuiti to driuk a glass ol water, others
will keep the lioso playing In the yard Irom <nrly
morning till late at nighl, others ugam will keep at it
nil day, wi-ttllig their Dowers In lilt garden. Now, Mr.
Editor, taking all this in consideration, it ii no in be
wouderm at that some people Will not get (tie water
above tho second or third lloor, because It ine> leave
It run below, it cminot very well cumo all the way uit,
It oaunot hn t-xpectcd that the Com mission--r ol I'ublic
Works can lie all over town and keen a lookout lor all
this, but ho should employ ineo who will do ilislr duly,
and not only coiuo lo a man s bouse, ark mm how
many lancets lie has In the house, howr many close is, Ac.,
hut who would slso examine I Belli to sir whether
these are lu eood condition or noL This, I know, has
been uoui- in p certain largo lioivl in tins city, aud
this, I think, Is not the wny to inspect tins water pipes;
but a thorough inspection should la- made, and the

OBITUARY.
BIT. WILLIAM A. MtJU.ENBERO, D. D.
The Rev. William Augustus Muhlenberg, one ol the
most eminent divines of the Protestant Epiacepal
Ctiurcb In Itiia city, expired Ian n:ght. at twenljr
in.nulos peat ten o'clock, at bta residence In ibe Su
I.uko'a Hospital building. Ilia dealb was caused by
senile epilepsy, irotn which be bas been sutlering (or
more iban aix weeks. During bis sickness be was con
stantly attended by Doctors W. II. Draper and C. W.
I'ackard, tbu regular visiting pbysicinn of St. Luke's
Hospital. He passed away quietly, surrounded by a
number ol bis roiutlves and Iriends.
Dr. Muhlenberg was the son ut Henry M. Muhlenberg,
ol Philadelphia, and was born in that city September
10, 171*5. His launly na<i long resided In Pennsyl
vania, In ibe ncigbborbood ol Trappo, Montgomery
county, aud aeveral of bla ancestors played no mean
pariju ibn history ol the country. His great grand
lather, Houry Meleblor Muhlenberg, was a clergymsn
ol the German Lutheran sect, and was the founder of
thai Church lit America. He leit two aona, both ol whom
achieved considerable distinction. The older, I'uter
John Gabriel, wasordained a clergyman of the Lutheran
Church, but when the Revolutionary War broke out
he preached a sermon on the text, "there's a lime for
all things, a timo to preach and a time to fight; and
now is tho time to tight;" tbcu, reading bla comtnla
sum as colonel, bo mustered the male purt of bis con
gregation as a regiment and plunged into military af
fair in which bu obtained groat distinction, retiring
on the close ol the war with tbe rank of major gen
oral. He allcrward held tbo position ol United States
Senator lor about a year. Ills brother, Gotunll Henry,
was also u clergytuau, but his chief distinction ariaes
trom Ins wurks on the botany ol this country.
1 ho subject ol the present sketch received his early
cducution at the sellout ol Dr. Aborcrumble, In Philadel
phia. lie aiterward entered the I'uiversity ol Penn
sylvania, irom which he graduated with honora In 1814.
He immediately devoted bimsell to the study of
theology, and obtained ordination as a deacon
immediately on reaching Ins majority, in 1S17. Ho
then attained luuisell to tbo Protestant Episcopal
Church, and became assistant to liisuop While, ol
1'hlladelplliu, who is regarded as ono of the founders
ol the Episcopal Church on Him side ol tho Atlantic.
Hy Bishop White he was ordained prioal alter three
years, and in 18m he was appointed rector ol St.
Jatues'Church, Lancaster, Pa. While In this position
lie cominencud his long career ol public beueiaulions
by causing the establishment of tbe lirsi public school
which existed in Pennsylvania outside ol Philadelphia.
lu 18'J8, Dr. Muhlenberg moved to Flushing, L L,
whore he founded a school. This institution quickly
developed into St. Paul's College and became u vory
considerable sent ol learning. Dr. Muhlenberg re
mained at Its head, us principal and rector, lor about
eighteen years, until he accepted the rectorship ol the
Church ol mo Holy Communion, the erection ol which
was completed lu 1840. This church stands on tbe
1 corner of.Sixth avenue and Twentieth street. U was
built by Dr. Muhieuberg's slater, Mrs. M. A. C, Rogers,
as u memorial of her deceased husbaud, under the con
dition that it should always remain a free church.
(in St Luke's Day, of tbu same year. Dr. Mublon
berg drew toe attention of his cougragution to the great
waul ol u church hospital which was then tell lu this
city, and announced that half tbo morning collection
ol tbo church would be laid aside as tbo Ursl oontribu*
lion toward providing one. The amouul was $31.
"When do you expoct to complete your hospital?"
Uked a I riend, smiling at the smallnosaol the bum.
"Never," said be, "if I never mako u beginning."
Hut tin-so $:il proved a Iruillul germ. The building
luml rapidly swelled to $'JUU,l)0U, aud tho hospital
was bunt. Tho sito chosen is on Fiftv-luurth
street, between Fifth and Sixth avenues. The build
ing consists of a cuapcl, surrounded with wards, so
urrutigcd by means of sliding purtiiiont tliat
nil the Inmates may hear divine service Irom their
beds when It Is read in tho chapel. Tho hospital
Is open to members of all religious denominations,
but it is supported cbielly by tho generosity ol ttie
Episcopal denomination. It possesses a considerable
permanent tund, and rocutves large contributions an
nually. The yearly expenditure is about $00,000. The
number ol putieuia accommodated during the year
ending St. Luke's Day, 187)5, was 1*50. There are uow
acconi modal ions for ubout 1100 patients. Several Iroe
beds have been Irom tune to tune established. A
children's ward is ono of Its peculiar excellences.
Tho foundatiou stone was laid In Muy, 1884, by
Bishop Wainwrigbi. the chapel was opened lor divine
service In 1867 aud the ceremonies ol opening the hos
pital lor patients were performed by the Rev. S. Cooke,
Muy 13,1868. In 1887 Dr. Muhlenberg assumed tbe
po.-Kjou of superintendent and pastor ol the uow hos
pital, u situation which be continued to hold till the
moment ol his aeaih.
In 1848 he organized tbe first I'rotostant Sisterhood
which ever existed, and put tbe hospital under tbe
cnurge ol its members. This society is aaid io he tho
prototypo of the many semi-conventual 1'rolestant
orders now existing in England, us well as of various
charitable ladies' associations in till* country. This
l'rotestani Sis.erbood has also ukco churge ol ? day
school which ho established in counection with tbo
Holy Cominuuton Church.
Il'is last great work, aud, perhaps, that one which
will bear the grcutest fruit in tbe future, was
tbu louuduiion of tbe Cltr sltan Industrial Com
munity ol hi. Johnsland. Tins Is a plan to
provide cheap and comfortable homes, with
the tnonns of social and moral improvement,
lor deserving families among the workiug classes;
to niuintain a home lor aged men In reduced oircurn
siances; to csro lor friendless children aud youths.
especially cripple*, una to iuiki young men who
dusiro higher education with a viow 10 ilie ministry.
A space ui ubuui 000 acres wus procured, and homes
lor children nnd oln men and a church wore orccted
in a coal ol about $bti,tiOO. Tho whole scheme has
been very succesalul, rhn hoinei are constantly lull
nuu many Inuiilica riuvu been localod on ihe land In
unable dwellings.
Or. Muhlenberg was a little aboro the overage
height, an l wus active and well made. Ho bad a large
aim well farmed head, au ovul luce, Intellectual fea
tures and a very kindly expression. Ho possessed a
prolusion ol silver gray hair. His sppoaratico wus
(iiguillcd and venerable, uud ho wus remarkable lor
his courtesy nnd kindliness ol manner. Ho was never
married. He poskossed good literary ahihtios, nod
many ol his sermons, which liuvo been published, dis
play great excellence. His dolivury wus simple, but
lervciil and impressive. His hymns also are remark
alilo lor rohglous enthusiasm, those entitled "I Would
Not Live Aiway," and "King the BolUol Heaven,"
being especially populur.
Hut it is us a successful philanthropist that he
will be cbicby remembered, lor it was only when
struggling against the misiortunoa of tnau, that Ills
modesty and want ol sell-ussurnnco allowed his miud
to put lorih its lull energies. Dr. Muhlenberg pre
sented the truest type ol Christian character. His
whole litu was devoted to his fellows. He toon no re
laxation. Without display, almost in secret, he accom
plished tho greatest works, and it is only now that ho
is dead that Ids real place will bo known as one ol the
most efficient philanthropists of the dsy.

Mr. Mnxwull hml a negro working lor bitu, named
William llrcrkunridge, who was lately discharged Irom
the army, Iiih discharge papers being dated at Fort
Waliaco lireckonrldge arrived at Trinidad on Satur
day evening, riding Mr. Maxwell's horse. He vislied
hut wife Saturday night, and on Snnday morning at
tended to business which hod been intrusted to turn

easily lecounteit for, and on Hoadiy dhtiIdi u k*
wnss leaving town, going iu tho direction of Maxwell's,
lie was arm-tod on the strength ot a telegram Iron lb*
Sheriff ol that county.
When the telegram! were received here and it waa
know n that the darky had been arre ted, there wu lor
a lew hour* the mo*t luteu-o excitement, ami bad it
not heen lor tbo calm eoanaeta ol cool men thero
would have been an uUutu|>t at lynching, wbicb would
have been met by force (rem men who believe in law
and onlor, bet when tbo nrcumetanrra connected

chased the lMniinick herd of cattlo.
Later. Irom good authority?not from the officer*,
however?wo icaru that Ureckenridge baa conle-seo
the double murder and nleo given the particulars. At
wo understand It. ho first sli d Maxwo;; just outside hit
tent; that when he took aim at him Maxwell saw tin
movement and turned hi* head, and the ball entcre?
the side ol his head and went clear through. The tdsck
(lend then went down the road and tout the boy abom
three tittles oil, cutntbt up with a load of polea. He gr?
behind linn and shot him through the bead, and llu
victim rolled off on the ground. Maxwell was fount

found tbe team atanding In tho road, eoiue diataoc*
irom tbe tent, und the horses badly laintsbed; he un
hitched them, und, alter oaring lor the boraes, started
down the road and found tbe boy some distance back.
We also understand that llrcokenridge has waived bin
right to u requisition and ban offered lo accompany
