The statement that appeared in a Radical.com. temporary, that the Afghans have exceeded their rights in oconpying Penjdek, cannot be accepted a la vérité vraie, even on the high authority gested by Madame de Novikoff. Like a great Aumber of statements pat forward by thuť vər-: satile lady, we would dismiss it without a mo- ment's consideration, were wa not afraid that our Imbecile Government might agerly juiap at this way of escape from entanglement with Russia and massa ocnsent to draw the frontier line bolow Penjach. The facts of the case are these. Penjeh had for centuries been in the undisputed possession of Afghanistan, and inhabited by the Jemshidi and Teimur tribes, until 1857, when the latter were driven out by the Sayk Turconians expelled from Mory: The Baryks östablished themselves of two points, Yalutaa end Penjdah, those at the former place being too nase: Mary and too weak to dis pute the sathority of the Tokkes, while the Penjdel Baryka, from the date of their settle ment considered themselves belonging to the porines of Horat. The Russians have repeated- Îy stated that the Sargka of Poujdék soqaissood in the demand for protection, but no corroborai Eon of this statamant has been offered, and, as the Tekker and Saryk, have always been deadly enemies, it is sbowed to pretend that the submis sion of the former carried with it that of the latter, except with regard to the inhabitants of “Tulutan. On the other hand, when Rahman Bal serived from Khin in 1883 to elsim the sovereignty over Morv, the Penideh people rafneed to sakpowledge his authority, deoar ing that they were subjects of Hort, but stated that if the Khan would restore.
