MARCH 21, 1877 Btate Governments, to any mero success of the Democratic party, or to the prosecution of n party opposition to the Republican party. Posco is to tho Bouthern Btates the greatost of all needs. Their material prog- ress and growth depend on the restoration of indusiry, and this cannot bs possible so long as a war practically cxists between the races, and, 08 A consequence, production is diminished, ecapital alarmed, and all things disturbed. The general unanimity with which the white population at the Bouth supported TiLoEy was largely due to the expectation that under a Democratic Presidont and a Democratie Administration the Bouthern Btates would fare botter at the hands of the Government than it would un- der the Republicans,—assuming the policy of that party to ba the samo as had existed since 1863, But the frank declaration of President Hayes that o new polioy should be inangurated, and the scloction of a Cabluct known to be opposed to the past policy of the party ; his selection of Mr. Scuunz and Mr. Kry, and the evident determination to pro. moto honest loeal salf-government, have at- irncted the attention of the Bouthern peoplo, and havo gono far to win their approval and admiration, ‘These poopls are prepared to nccopt the saltloment the President Las un. derlaken to bring about, and this they are prepared to do oven if it dissolves the Dem- oeratio pariy and leave the Adminlstration with o majority in the House of Representa- tives. DBut, as n matter of expedioncy, if not n matter of necessity, the Executive pol- ey of coucilintion aud of settlement in South Carolinn and Louisiana should be concluded, and, if practieable, be put in operation beforo the meeting of Congress. It should be an accomplished fact,—n dis. tinctiva Administration act,—to bo 1aid beforo Congress, ss a direct {fssuo upon which parties may divide ns to the support of the Administration or opposition thereto, What tho exact form the Executive plao of settlemout may take has not been disclosed; in fact, tho President has had no timo to maturo it, nor to take counsel con- cerning it. If, howover, ho shall succced in bringing order out of disorder, peace out of confusion and anarchy, andreduce thonumber of Governments to ono in each State, nnd to one having the popnlar confidence and support necessary to self-maintenance, the country will gladly occept it, no motter which party may bo technieally successfnl. The condition of the two States is n menaco to tha peaco of tho Union; the disorders nnd the strifes, tho onarchy and confusion, are o pestilential nuisanco, aud any measuro that will abate that nuisance permanently will bo accepted by the country with great satis- faction, If thisesourco of trouble be removed be- fore the mocting of Congross, it is within the bounda of probability that the relative strength of parties in Congress will ba some- what changed, and that the House, by n ren~ sonnble majority, will bo fn the control of the friends of the Administration. Under such circumstances, it is not likely that Con- gress, at the called scssfon, will undertako any other legislation, save that made neces- sary by the defeat of tho Army Appropris- tion bill. ' The next regular session will meot in Decomber, and the six or eight montls of its duration will afford amplo time for the general logialation of the country. Thero i3, however, one danger which threntens the couniry from this extrn sos- sion, nnd that s the pertinacions, untiring nudacity of the 'great rallrond subsidy schemors, under the lendemhip of Tou contracts among their blowers and strikers who have run the derrick on which they they wero clovated into position. In Now York good ssmples of machine men on the Democratic side aro Twezp, SwerNy, OAREY Haw, Conxorty, and the whole Tammany gaug; on the Republican side, ConvgLy, Tox Murrny, Lext, Stockixa, and the Cns- tom-House gang. In national affairs the catalogue of machine men {a too long to enumernte, bt we may mention as samples DBrrxxap, the disgraced Becrelary of War; Roseson, ah ancient mariner always under a clond; Rrcuarpsow, formerly of the Treas- ury, who is only remembered by his Mur- 1&1T ; Deraxo, who formerly dispensed the offices aud contracts of the Interior Depart- ment ; ona Witrtaus, who came to be known 04 ** Loundelotte” Wrttans; = * Boss " Breenero and his Ring; Bancocx, and the entire lot of fellows who sought to break down Becretary Batstow, and tho vast ram- ifleation throughout the country known as the * Whisky-Ring," who invented n system for plundering the Government of its rev- enue, some of whom nbsconded, others lay down, or squealed, or got in jail, others in the penitentinry, nnd all pardoned before Gen. Graxt vacated tho oftics of President. Perhaps it fsn't necessary to go any further into tho machinery department. As to the ** extremists " our correspondent speaks of, wa would refor him to that clnss of men on the Democratlc sido who proposed to rush in Mr, Tinbex by vote of the House; and who endeavored to defeat the count by the Electoral Commission by resorting to desperate and revolutionary measures. Jumping DiLy Spaixgzn and BARNkY OAvL- F1zLp, of this Stnte, Dovorass, of Virginia, nud Hurp and Warring, of Ohio, are good examples. On the Republican side the *ox- tremiats” wera the men who proposed to count in Haves and declare him elected President through the agency of the Presi. dent of tho Senate, without any rogard lo that officer's lack of judicial power, and tho mon who, after Mr, Hares got n good title to the office, sought to prevent him from exercising its functions by mr attempt to defent his appointments and bronk down his policy. These events are too recent to re- quiro the mention of names by way of illus- tration, We despair of enlightening our correspondent as to.the policy for obliternt ing tha color.line in thie South, since Lia lettor shows 80 pervorso n misapprehonsion of it, and can only recommend him to rotain his composure till ho sees how it works. In the meantime, we suspect that his intarests aro 80 idontified with thoso of the ** mnchino " and tho * extremists” that he will not bocon- vorted; in fact,wo never expocted to couvért such persons, but lave only hoped the peo- plo not identified nor in sympathy with cither tho *‘mnchine” or tho * extromists” may bo induced to give President Haxes o fair support in his new departure, and to condemn that class of Republican politiclans whose corruptions and misconduet brought the party to the very vergo of defeat at the last elaction, should wait & year or two nund seo if tho Porto would carry out the provisions of the new Constiintion, Then the Czar climbed clear down. Meanwhilethe Turks had kept steadily on in thelr work, They vindieated their claim to the name of butchers by the most Inhmman ntrocities In Bulgarin the world has over known. They prosecuted the war in Sorvia with such stccess that Bervia, abandoned by Rusein, has had lo make peace with the Porte, and Montene is now negotinting a trenty also. The Turks have been trinmphant in the field, trinmph- ant in the Councils, triumphant in diplo. macy. They bave reduced their subjects both in the vnssal and semi-independent Btates to submission, and restored the stalus guo ante dellum,—with no guarantees for the future except Turkish promises, which bave never yeb been made excopto bo broken. And what has Russianccomplished ? Bhe has added fo her debt by borrowing seventy-five million roubles ; she has flooded hor people with irredecmnble rag-money; she has levied her tariffs in gold ; she has weakoned if not destroyed her finances ; sho has mobilized on army of 400,000 mon which she must now demobilize ; and, whon left to herself, hes shown that she ig afraid of the Turks.

Now that the Europesn war-cloud has blown over, public attontion will be attrnoted to a little cloud flonting in ** far-off Cathay.” Xiecent foreign dispatches have reported the progress of e formidablo rebellion in Japan, but, with the ¢ustomary dlsregard of logical connection maintained by the telegraph, have failed to give us the why and tho whore- fore of the trouble in the land which Coruat- Dus tried so bard to discover., The foreign mails now at hand supply the deficit, nnd o brief summary of the causes of revolts will make current newa more intelligible. Within the past few months there have ‘been three rebellions in Japan, more or less formidablo in their nature, nll directed agaiust the Exceutive branch of the Govern- ment, not against tho Mikado himself, nnd, ns showing how plentiful aro cnuses of re- bellion, it may be siated that neither of tho three liad any connection with tho others. T'ho firat reballion was that of tho SBamoural, o military faation, whoso hostility to the Government was aroused firat by changes in their ponsions, and second by tho policy of the Governmont in oncouraging foreign in- torcourse. Thoy also traced much of the distroas of tho country to this foreign inter- course, tho grent increase of the price of rico, nnd the rapid dlssppearance of gold from goneral circulation. This robellion, bxnvcr, was short-lived. Those who wore not Leheaded committed hari-kari, Iho secowd rebollion was tha of tho farm. ing classes against tho mode of fixing and collecling lrmd taxes, which was devised in reality to boneflt tho farmers, Tho tax was ‘based on n fixed price for rice all over tho country, which worked an injustice, inas. much a8 the prices varied oxceadingly in dif- forent sections. Tho tax, moreovar, had to Do paid in cash instoad of In kind, and, as cayls was very scarce and tho harvest far be- low tho nverage, discontent wae followed by rioting. This was summarily suppressed, however, by the Government, which tock immediato stops to remove the cause of trouble by recognizing the injustico of the tax on tho rico basis and remedying it, and thus ended Robeillon No, 2. The third robellfon which Is now in prog- rosa broko out among the Satsuma clan, one of the most noted -of all the foudal clans in the Emplro, having a history dating back to 1671, It has always been famous for its military prowess and for the sbility of its lenders. In 1872 it abolished the foudal sys- tem, It was tho firsb to develop the way towards introducing Weatern civilization into tho Empire, It has sent more students to ‘Enrope nnd America than all the rest of Jopan. One of this clan was the Commis. sloner to tho Philadelphia Exposition. It orgnnizod the present Governmont of Japan. The rebols aro composed waluly of the young. men of this clan, who aro dis. satisflod with tho comparative obseuri- ty in which tho recent groat - so. ciol nod political clanges, growing out of Westorn civilization, have left thom, Although they were among the first to intro. duce this civilization, they did not foresee that it would interfore with their com- mnuding eccinl and political influence. Their flrst protest waa made against forcigners, ond it is not long sinco they were coupelled to pay tho Englsh Government o heavy {ndemnity for outrages upon Dritish subjects, Now tholr efforts ara dirocted ngainst the very Government which thoy placed in power. - Although their or- gonization is a powerful onu humerically, as compared with the other rebels, it has no ‘war rosources, and will probably, thercfore, be spocdily overcomo by tho Government, when the next rebellion will bo in order, GREAT CRY AND LITTLE WOOL. At lnst wo geem to havo come to the end of the latest phaso of tho Eastern question, 08 it has been iuvolved In the complications Letween Russia and Turkey touching the condition and rights of tho Bclavio Christinns in the provinces north of tho Balkans, The resnlt must bo conceded ns a victory for the Turks, notwithstanding the manner in which tho Russian Governmont sosks to offsot ita virtnal abandonment of the Sclaves by claim- ing it a8 a diplomatio trinmph, It was only o littlo vear ago that the Bosnians and Herze- govininug, smarting undor, Turkish tyranny aud 1nisrule, rose in rebellion and main- tained their rovolt with varymg misfortune, until tho constant encroachments of tho Turks upon the Heryian and Montenegrin frontiors drew those two nations into tho strugglo also, nud the revolt of s fow moun- taineors nssumed tho dimensions of a general war, and extouded ko far as to involve ‘tho Enstern question and at once attract the at- tention of the other Ewopean Powers, A triple alliance was immedintely formed be- tween Rusaia, Germany,and Austrin. Alarmed 8t the possibilitles which might grow out of the war if Ruasia should {nterfore, En- gland at once took steps to protect her posi- tion. An English Note appeared, intended to furnish o basls for peaceful sottlement, but it falled. Then followed tlo Berlin Memorandum, and that failed, too, notwith. standing Dissancx’s influence, Then came au Austrian Note, and that, too, had no effect upon the issues involved, Moruwhilo Tussin had put hewelf forward, under the tacit indorsemont of Gorwmany, as the cham- plon of the Sclaves, 8ho secrotly encouraged tha IHorzegovinian revolt. 8he urged Servin and Montenegro into the war with indivect promises of nssistance, which were eventual. ly cnrried out by contributions of money from the Slavowdo rocietics of Europo and the volunteering of Itusslan offlcers in tho Sor. vian ranks, neither of which modes of help wero regarded with disfavor by the Govern. went, Blio nssumed to be the arbiter of every, conforence, and, 88 conferonce after conferenco failed, sho voluntarily gave out that sha should Iny down certain guarantees which, if denied by the DYorte, she should orforce. At last the Czar himself, in a public speech at Moscow, took occasion 1o nolify England aud all Europo that if the other Powers would not combiue to protect. the Belaves and rescuo them from Turkish oppression, Ruasia would * undertake the work alone, England in roply proposed & genoral conferenico of all tho Powers at Con- stantinople, aud Russla accepted it upon the condition that wlo should be ot liberty to aceept or reject whatever conditlons they might formulate. ‘The Conforeuce was held, and there were presont representatives from Russin, Germauy, Austrin, Turkey, Italy, France, nud Lugland, * Russia dictated its policy, snd the delegatos drew up o series of soven solomn guarautecs which Russia sanctioued. 'Tho ink was hardly dry when the crafty Turks proraulgated a now Consti. tution pf Mipuar Pasia’s manufacture, ro- jected tho propositions of ‘the Powers, showed the delegates the door, sud declared themselveg ready for war if Russia wanted it, and then,'to show thelr sincerity, delib. erately deposed Mipmar Pasua for try- jug to enforco some of the reforms contemplated in the Coustitution. Thedelo. gates left with less blowing of trumpets than characterized their arrival at Constantinople. Gen, Ioxatieys, the Russian ropreseutative, weunt home in high dudgeon, reported to his august and bypochiondriacal master, aud every one looked Yor war, Tustead of ralsing his standards nnd marching through Bervia to tho south of thie Balkans, and attacking the Turks in their atrongholds, the Cazarcom- wenced climbing down by sending Gen. IoxaTixvy to Paris and Count Szouvarory to England, and other “effs™ and ‘“offs” to other Powenrs, to sco if they would back him in case be made war. Astho other Powors had no intorest in backing the Czar, they de- elined with thanks, and suggested thad they present, offering to tho South the expondl- turo of n huudred millions of dol- lara tuying up Dbonkrupt railroads aud putting them n operation, and in building others, with branches leading into every Congressioual district.

Tho, time may come when it will be 5 1uatter of surprise that the era of emanci- pation in this country was marked by so few abuses and vutbreaks yather than beset with %0 wavy difficultics as we are now luclived to think. Ttussia is just now beginning to reslize tlat ths cmancipation of the Russian serfy was productivo of many evils, whigh seem o be on the increase and for which no rem- edy Las yet been suggested. The emaucipa- tion of the Ruasian serfs msy be sald to lave been contemporaneous witk the eman- cipation of the American slaves, sinco it was proclaimed in the early part of the American War of the Rebellion. Tho difference way that the Russian emancipation was accomplished pescefully under the aus- and corn-stacks is much more common than succambed to a goneral infection of laziness they nro deprived of tho encoursgement and political association of their former mastors. The indication is that Russia will suffer more of tho evils of emancipation than Amerlea; it is not n question there of reconciliation notbing short of o grand systom of coercive reform will curo the evils, £ y wras obliged to give Americans certain inshore privileges on thelr coasts for catching and dry- pices of the Government, and with the co- operation of tho princes, nobles, and Ianded proprietora, There waa a gennine offort to start tho serfs upon their new life under the most {avorabla conditions, The lands were divided among them 80 that each family was given from fivo to twonty-fivo acres, nccord. ing to its fortility, nnd a honse and orchard, under easy conditions of futuro payment. They were organizod 1nto communes or vil. lages, with provisions for self-government as to their local affairs. Every agricultaral la. Lorer thus becama at ones A free man and & small land-owner, and npparently had every possiblo fncentive to energy, industry, and ambition. Yot there has been 80 notablo & decrease in the agricultural prosperity of cortain of the Russian provinces that the Government has lately been engaged in in- vestigating the matter, and has found a most deplorabla condition of things, Drunkenness, idleness, and immorality have been found to provail to such an oxtent nmong these communities of former serfs that tho product of their lands is searcely self-sustaining. The influences from which most good is gonerally expacted—the Chureh, the local government, and social rolations— nre, on the contrary, the most pernicious umong these communities. The prieats nre chosen by the communes, and depend upon them for their subsistonce; conseqtiontly the priests cator to all the bad passions of the people, encourage theirsuporstitions, increaso their holidays, drink vodka (corn brandy) with them, sud utterly fail to exorclse any moral restraint. The Mayors of the com. munos generally settle disputes in the dram- shops, and not infrequently punish by levy. ing o fine of whisky, The family and society have no traditions or inheritance except ignoranco and bad passions which liberty has developed Into license. In many sections thero are no schools, and where they are they are poorly attended, and often under the control of licentious young seminarians, who como from the cities to indulge in the debauch which the loose morals of these dis- tricts afford. - In tho manufacturing dis. tricts promiscuity in the soxuni relations iz almost upiversal, and tho same practice is now extending to the agricultural districts, so that tho number of thosa infocted with lonthsomo disense Is counted by bundreds of thousands, The right of ownership in property is scarcoly recognized at all, and tho stealing of timber marriages are valid holds fo Eogland for all purpoees but one.
