Chief Josrpi iy stroll. iug along stealing all tho horses ho can find, ‘Their frionds in Chicago will gricvo to loarn that seventeon of the Lipan tribe of Tn- diony wera recontly killed ia 0 fight with tho Kickapoos in Mexico, , [SSE Gov. Cutrpit and tho Ponitentiary Com- mission wore hospitably ontertained at Grand. ‘Tower yesterday, but were noncommittal on Tho Sabsldiary High Court of the Ancient Order of Foresters of the United States lins selected Pittsburg for tho next nicoting, probably becausa that city is not yet out of tho woods. Prxpievon and Tox Ewm have had thelr hrcoching-straps tightened up, and will kick at tho dashbonrd of tho Domosratie party at Columbus on tho 23d. The party files are beginning to bite the old war-horses. ————_—_—_—_— Gov. Youxa, of Ohio, has issudd a procla- mation congratulating the Nutional Guards. 4oen upon their conduct during tho strike, ‘Up to the timo of golng to prous no informa- tion waa received of similar manifesto from Goy. Wiutrama, of Indiana. , Having been deprived the excitement of taking active part in the war, Sorvis pro. poses to onjoy the luxury of paying her dobt. Originally it amounted to 12,000,000 francs, of whish lesa than 800,000 havo been paid, aud Oct. 27 and Jan. 18 have been fixed upon as tho dates for calling in the balance, It {a stated on tho authority of the United Btates Minister to Groeca that tho European grain market will soon bo under the control of thination, Bo far the belligeronta in the East havo rocelved their entira extra sup- ply from tho Black Sea rogions, which will soon bo exhausted, thus bringing the de- pendence of the struggling Powers upon American cereals, Srrrxo Butt is not the only American in- stitution with which Canada ix at preseut aflicted, Hunvy rains aud tempestuous at mospherio ondeavors have wrought serious damage to crops and destroyed considerable farm material. Villages haya been flooded, iu’ somo instances, from one to weven fect, and largo loas hos accrued fromm the destruc. tion of houses nd barns, Upon the order of District Attorney Puztss, of New York, tho fourteon: indict weute against Wintram E, Kina have boen nollo prdvsed, Kina was ono of the most active of the Tammany ringstery, snd Las of Jato resided in London. His snxicty to return home has led him to mako Anancial restitution, or to voluntcer valuable testimouy against his confederates on con. dition that he recoive immunity. ‘ho indications in marino circles aro all to the effect that the carrying-trade for the uext two or three months will bo as active as was ever known before, ‘his is sure to have osalatary effect on all business and labor interests. In the latter respect the effect ix already uoticesble, “The activity among tho lake vessels hag created a de- qand for labor which has set hundreds of men to work who have been idle, The docks and the luaber-yards will soon swarm with busy inen; and, if tho demand continues and Brows, it will quickly lead to w decided im. provement in wages. Now this is the ve: opposite of Communism. It is procisely the reverse of what was going on in Chicago o few woeks ago, when a mob preveated men by threats and violonce from doing the work they could get at tho pay which employors could afford to give. Which is the better course? In the one case there fa nothing but lows aod destruction, not merely depriving men of enrning th ing for the time-being, but so crippling their, em- Pployers ns to render them nnable in tho fu- tnre to onlargo their business or increase their wages. Tut, in the présent conre of trado, the bnainess will build upon itself, and the labormng classes will sharo the bencfita of tho increnso in moro permanent employment and on inerenso of wages in proportion to tho increase in the domand for labor, In answer to an inquiry as to his opinion of Chautanqua, the Rev. Joszpx Coox ro- plied: ‘It is an nehlevement, a promise, great as both,”"—a- remark which delighted the Chautatiqnans, who admire a compliment when conveyed in tho incomprehensible. ‘There is a grave suspicion that the Rov. Josertt wears a coatof many colors,and ahows ite brightest hue wherever ho happons to bo, leaving the other and mora sombro tinges to represent the places he came from. It is charattoriatic of his lectures to flatter the 1 cality which has one of them under consid- eration, and tho impression is gaining strength that blarney fs an important elomont in Mr. Coox's stock in trade, His Majesty of Russia is coming squarely down to business, and evidently proposes to go into the noxt campaign with a determina. tion to win, An Imporial decree has been issued calling to arma even those for- merly ,ecxonerated from military duty, They will bo formed into Nation- al Guards for the protection of home points, leaving those subjoct to active duty froo to take positions at tho front. In on emergency ovon the guards will be sont forward, though the most of their work will be limited to prosorving in- tornal security, This will materially aug: ment the force in the field and enhance tho Ruasian chances in the appronching con- flict. ——— Daring the pastaveek or two a potition has been in circulation addressed to the Common Council), and asking that Michigan ayonue bo transferred to the South Park Commissioners for improvement ond regulation, It has al- ready recoived o very large number of signatures, including many of tho lend. ing citizons and largest Jand-ownors in the city,’ and it will bo left for a fow days longor at tho Board of Trado rooms for the convenience of those inter. ested in tho project who have not yet had an opportunity to sign it. This potition is based npon o vory different condition of things from that on which tho Jatliciary Committee of the Council roported advarucly tothe proposition. ‘Tho Council Commit. tao’s report was based on information that the South Park Commissioners aro not will- ing to assume tho control of the avenua as f part of their genoral trust, but the potition has boon drawn npon information that tho Vark Commissionors will accopt tho trust whon it is committed to thom, ‘Tho petition has alist of signers that will command tho respectful attention of the Council; and, if it sinll not lend to a transfor of the avonne, it will certainly hurry up the passage of an ordinance regniating tho width of wagon- tires that shall bo allowed to run on the new pavemont, ———_$_$_ ‘The Ohio campaign opened last night at Hellefontatne, whore Judge West, tho Repub- lican nominee for Governor, delivered his intvoductory speech, His romarks wero devoted ‘largely to the consideration of tho Inbor question, which scoms cor. thin to figura prominently in the canvass in Ohio, os well nos in other States, ‘The speoch of Inst ovening being Judge West's first formal declaration of views upon the gront topics of the day, tho remonatization of ‘sllver, and the estab: Hahment of a now system of dealing with the issues between employer and omployod,—it will be read with doep tnterest throughout tbe country alike by the workingman and tho capitalist, Nolther can complain of the treatment hia interosta recolvo at the handa of tho speak. er, Thore{s not » taint or suggestion of Communism in his ideas concerning tho measures which should be taken in order to bring about a better state of feeling between capital and labor; nor is thers wanting o manifestation of the deopast solicituda for tha welfare and the rights of the workingmen. With refor- enco to the currency question, Judge West's views are equally emphatic, Standing alike on tho Clevoland and Cincinnati platforms, he insists that the faith aud honor of the nation require the payment of its obligations in coin, Lut he characterizes as “ simply nui. cidal" the policy of rosumption by means of contraction alone Tho act of the General Ausuinbly, passed March 20, 1871, in rolation to the use of the caual-lion moncy, contains this clause: Vrovided, however, that not leas than one-fifth nor to exceed ono-third of nuld sum so appropri ated shalt be received by sald elty, aud be applied In reconstructing the Lridues aud tho public build« {ngs and structures destroyed by fire, upon the original altes thereuf, as already provided by the Common Couuctl, . Jt will be scen that the City Council was not permitted to apply mora than one-third for reconstruction purpuses, nor less than one-fifth, ‘Tha disorutivuary powers of the Council must bo usercised within those lim. its. Tho amonut at that timo, including in. terest, was 32,955,510, ‘fhe one-fifth of this sum ig $501,048, ‘Chis is tho niulmom ainount the Govoral Assembly stipulated that whould be “applied in Teconstructing the bridges and tho public buildings and atructures doxtroyod by fro.” Thera ix no provision or condition that ouo-fifth gt the monoy, or any other per cent of it, should be applied in rebuild. ing tho City-Hall, ‘Tho digcretion was glvon tothe City Government, within those limits, to apportion the rebuilding funds asiteaw fit. ‘The total smount re- colvod from the State was $3,121,420, One. Hfth of this would bo 8622,28t, which must be expended in rebuilding bridges, viaducts, and public buildings, Butwoon tho time of tho fire aud Dee, 1, 1873,when Mayor Cony came into office, there had been expended of this building fund, in reconstructing bridges and vicducts, tho sum of $317,149, which would leave $305,195 available for the City. Hall,—less the suma expended in rebuilding fire-engine-housca and police-stations, and other public structures, the amounts of which we have not at band. On tho Ist of December, 1873, tho City Treasuror’s balance. shcetshowed $1,118, 100cash on hand thatday, ‘The first appropristion of canal-lien money for rebuilding tho City-Hall was made on the 80th of June, 1874. It was mado in this language: ‘For building a City-Hall, ‘S6C1,- 000; the same to be taken from tho fund knownasthe Canal-Redemption Fund, or Gity- Mall Fung.” Provious to the making of this sppropriation, ,it could not be known how much of the Canal-Lien und would be ap plied to rebuilding tho Qity-Hall. ‘The act ofthe General Assembly named no sum forthat specific purpose, ‘Lhe coat af rubnildinotha bridges, viaducts, potice-rtations, engine- houses, and other public structures, might have exhausted the one-fifth " of the wholo Canal-Lien Fun, without leaving anything forthe City-Hall. Tho Conucil has nover yet declared what per cont of tho Onnnl- Lien Fund shonld be applied fn recon. Structing the burnt bridges, viaducts, and public buildinga, But, before it can be charged that monoy act apart to rebuild tho City-Hall was “ diverted" during 1871-'3, it will bo necessary to show how munch was rot apart to robuild that particular structure, either by the Legislature or Common Conn. cil. If nono wae set Npart or appropriated for that object, how can it bo said that City. Mall money wus "* diverted” A SPECIMEN ORGAN. Chicago 7'tmea ia notoriously ignorant ‘on all political questions. Like the ‘self. mado man" who cannot rend, it seems to despise information. Imitating Bourwert, it boldly denies that thero is any auch thing 88 political economy, In oll matters of bawdry tho Times recognizes a science, which it industriously pursues, encouraged and inspired fn fta labora rather than ro- pulsed by tho filth and obscenity it delves in. Occasionally somebody about +the oflico ix told to write something on some publica question ontaiito of tho specialty of that pn- Per; and the production, which, intelligent or stupid, iy all Greck to tho proprietor, is published, rogardloss of what it contains. Tho New York Bulletin recontly land an editorial on tho subjoct of resumption, in which it undertook to reply to Tas Tnmoxe, and the 7¥mes man, knowing nothing what- ever on the subject himeclf, hna had tho Hultetin article rehashed, and, in a most Inughablo way, has attempted to address it to this paper. The point is(1), How is the Government to get gold with which to redeem tho graon- backs; and (2), having redeemed the grocn- backs, if they are to be reissued, how and for what, purpose can they bo rofesucd ? Tho Governmont has a limited income, and that income is by pormanont or specific ap- Propriations to bo expended for specific pur- posoa, ‘Tho gold income of the Government ig abont $133,000,000 annually; this is ap: Propriated: $100,000,000 for intereat, @21,- 000,000 for sinking fund, and tho expenses and entorics in forcign countries takes tho remainder, Generally, tho coin expendi- tures consume tho coin recoipts. Now, how {a tho Government to get thp additional gold to redoem, say, $130,000,000 of §reen- backs a yoar? In addition to this, the coun- try will havo about $50,000,000 of gold for exportation, and aguother large num for re- mittance to pay tho exponses of Amoricany in Europo, Tho market for gold is in Lon. don, and tho state of that market is indicat- ed by the rato of discount of the Bank of England. An extraordinary demand for gold will ba answered by a tise in tho bank yatos.” No means have boon provided by law for obtaining this gold on the ist of January, 1879, except tho sale of bonds, Thoso bonds aro the 4} and 4 per conts, ‘Tho sale of tho latter has probably reached its maximum for the preacnt, oven if tha amount already subscrived for shall be taken by the subscribers. ‘Cho supply of gold, therefore, to redeem tho grecubacks must bo obtainod nbroad, and by thosalo of 4} por cent bonds, But Germn- ny isin tho market for gold, and for the United States to demand $150,000,000 to re. doom its greenbacks would so unacttlo that inarkot that it is not likely that a 4} por cant bond can bo sold at par, or anything near par, If tho policy be to merely retire the greenbacks, why well bonds for gold with which to redecm the greonbacks? Why not offer the bonds at, say, 3 per cont, direct for the greanbacks ? But conceding that, in some way at pres- ont unknown, the Govorumont shall procure gold enongh to begin redeeming tho groon- backs, aud shall redcom enough to supply the country with the gold to pny its customs duties and make its remittances to Europo, thero will by that much curroncy with. drawn; tho banks, having to rodeom in gold, must retire their notes. ‘Then thoro will be an oxolusive gold currency. But, it if answered, tho groonbnoks, as fast as ro. deomed, will bo paid out again. Mow, and for what purpose? They cannot by paid out for any coin obligation of the Goyorn. ment. Tho Governinent will havo its ordi- uary rovenne to meot all other expenditures, How aro tho groenbacks to bo put back into circulation? ‘The Chicago Times, taking tho idea of a Now York paper, but not un. derstanding it, saya: . 1, It will bo easy enough to find ways of relusn- Jug the redeemed greenbacka, if that ts found de- shable, They may be reissued jn exchanye for gold depustte, Jnut as certificates are now iuaued In exchange for such deposits. Beuldew, grceenbacks may be relvsued In exchange for bonds or bullfon, Provided thoy are not relaued,tn auch cxceus as to cause depreciation, 2. There Js very Uttlo danger that thoy wit! bo presented for redemption after thelr volume has been 0 for reduced as to bring them to par with coln, Mut we may reat aesured that they would como tn very slowly after they were once restored hy contraction to the level of gold. It te nonxenso to guy that there would be a demand on the ‘'rena- ury for $1321, 000,000 every year for payment uf customs dntics, bocanse justas soon as the cur- fency was restored to par people cuuld get what gold thoy wanted without going to the Treasury, ‘They could o¢ more conveniently served by their banks than by the Government, and consequently the demande upon the Treasury would coase, It the whole amount fs prevented for redemp- tlon, then $60,000,000 of specie will be put in clrculation tn ita place, and the banka can casily provide for tho redemption of their notes by ex- changing their greenback rescrves at the ‘Trvasury for specie. They need not retiree doliar of thelr circulation uuiesy thore ix moro of it than can be oy at par, and if there fs mozo It ought to bo retired. It is hardly necessary to distusa such rank absurdity and nonsenso aos this, Tedomp- tlou of greenbacks in coin’ means payment. That is what the Resumption act means and provides, Gold and groenbacks are now de- posited in the Treasury to large amounts for asfa keoping, and certificates are fasucd therefor, These gold-cortificates are ro. dcemablo in gold and circulate as gold, aud tho greenbnek-certificates aro redeemablo in Poper and circulate as paper, Men who do- posit gold do not, and will not, take certifi. cates redeemable in paper; nor will they do so when it is known the Goverument cannot redeem the paper in gold. Now, when an importer needs gold, he solls his greenbacks for coin, Wo have shown that 130,000,000 in gold ig needed for business purposes overy Year, aud no wan will sell his groonbacks to the brokers for gold when he can present the notes at the ‘Treasury and get the gold at Par, From that there is no ewcape. How the people are to got gold from tho banks, or whero tha banks are going to get the gold to redeom the $315,000,000 of currency, is not explained. ‘Tho climax, howaver, is reached when it ix assumed that the wholo $§360,01,000 can be redeomad in gold by the Gov ament, and upon this assumption it is co.aplacéatly coucluded that tho banks, thus provided, can redeem their notes in gold. It is a waste of space to treat this stuif Ko- viandly. We give it vnom thet thaes where oe seeking gold redemption in 1879, and an ox- clusive gold enrrency, may estimate the pro- found ignorance of their self-appointed or- gan in thin city, eee OHIO DEMOCRATS IN TROUBLE. Democracy has ita ombarmsxnients under all circumstances, bnt the Olio Democrats seem to be beaet with moro thu their share of its trials, tribulations, and mortitications. They no sooner get saddled with a candidate than they try to gat rid of him. There was Rerious talk of “bouncing” tho renerable Winnrast ALLEN two years ago, but Annex wonkin't budgo, and he only succeeded in electing Hares tirat Governor and then Pres- ident. This year the Democrat aro attempt. ing to shovo Sr. Bisnop off the course, brit the indications aro that Mr. Bisnor will Prove as intractable as tho venerable Wire 1m. The Democratic Committco mot at Put-in-Bay a fow days ago to diacurs the sit. uation, and summoued their candidate bee foro thom, but, oven ‘according to tho dis. Patches to their chicf organ, the Cincinnats Enquirer, thoy faited to como to any aat- isfnctory understanding with Mr. Bisnor. It is apparent that the Ohio Democrats this Year ara in abont as bad a predicament os the Illinois Democrats were last year with the ancicnt Law “Stewanp, ‘hoy have caught o Tartar, and don't know what to do with him. Itis not clear just how Mr. Brsnor, who is a Cincinnati denlor in sugar, molasses, and other “set grocerics,” camo to bo nomi. nated. Ifo slipped in very ndroitly. Mosara, Coxvznse,and Wanp, and Ewra, and Parxe,, and Vance, and oven Prxpittox, had their active friends, and tho differont factions got intoa hopeless war. But, when it camo to the time for making nominations, it was found thnt one gentleman, who had his representa- tives at Columbus, had. made no enomies, but, on the contrary, tho liberal dis. Pensing of boveragos on a systematic plan had esptured tho hearts of most of thorural delogates for him. What really enrtied the day for Mr. Bianor, however, was the promise made for hint that he would contribute on “‘amplo sum" for State cam- paign purposes, At tho Put-in-Bay mecting he was rominded of this fact, but ho ropudi- ated it, saying that nobody was authorized to pledge him to anything of tho kind, and the most ho cvor agreed todo was to take caro of Hamilton Connty (Cincinnati), which is his home. ero was a dnsh of cold water plump in the face, Jt was worse than a plunge in the lake at the usual tompernture of Inke-wator. Tha Democratic Committea no longer felt tho noed of the cool breezes of Putin-Bay, and they left for homo, Mr, Bisttor haa beon a terrible disappoint inout to the Ohio Democracy in avery way. Tt is notorious that the party ia thoroughly imbued with tho worst herosies of groen- backism. And Bisuor is uot moroly a bull- fonist, but almost no monometallist; it is very hard for him ovon to admit tho advisability of remonctizing silver, and as to tho unre- stricted manufacturo of greonbacks,—ho won't listen to it, How can tho boliovers in the Baa Auuey, Ewma, and Pexpisron theorios evor bo mndo to rally around go un- congenial a spirit as this? Thon it is found that he retaing a strong odor of Know-Noth- ingism, Ho was token up by tho struggling Ropublicans of 1859, and run for. Mayor of Cincinnati in order to draw the Know-Nothing vote from tho Democratio party, As Cincinnati was strongly Democratic, Mr. Bisnop's olcction at that time was duo to the Know-Nothing yolo which ho recoived. But ovon this ig not the wort of his record as Mayor of Cin- cinnati, Ho proved toboa Puritan Mayor and onforeed thé Sabbatarian laws, Only o couple of yoars ago, while a mombor of tho Ohio Constitutional Convention, ho openly Voasted of hia success in that particular, in order to domonstrato tho foasibility of Puri- tan laws, which ahows that ho has not yet ovorcome his carly prejudices against Domo- cratic habits, It will be recognized that thig is.not precisely the kind of man to kindlo any very great blaze of enthusiasm nmong Demoorata anywhere, but partloularly in Ohio. All this might have been forgiven, how- ever, if Mr, Bisuop had consonted to bo blod for the boncfit of tho Domocrats throughout the State. It is true that he has barrels of money, It ia understood that he spends most of his loisnro timo in clipping coupons from his bouds, But he fs opposed to tho convertibility doctrine, Ho proposes to keep the bonds himself; or, if hg parts with, any, it will only bo in Hamilton County, But, ns thoro aro eighty-sevon othor counties in the Stata whore the Democrats will not oven gotasight at these bon@, tho caso seems to bo a hopoless one, aud the Demo. cratic party of Obio is in odecidedly bad way. : PUNISHING HAYES. Mr, Sntox Casmnon and Mr, Ben ‘Wang, two wtatesmen now happily retired from publio lifo, Lave recontly givon uttorauce to dismal forebodings concerning the future of the Republican party, Buame and Conx- Lina anda swarm of small-fry politicians have jolued in the chorus, though ina more cautious way. Being still in office, they have 4@ graver senso of responsibility than the ‘Veterans turned ont to grass, But tho pro- dictions and threats of all those gentlumon havo 8 common origin and & common pur. pose, ‘They inean to punish Hares, ‘hoy tell the nowspapor-correspondents so, and they lose no opportunity of getting their viows into tho newspapers, Each one of the Icaders has hiv work cut ont. Hen Wang meous to lose Ohio “to pouish Ifayes,” Oaxrenon to give up Pennsylvania, and Conguixe to encrifico New York for a similar purpose, Utawe bas kindly consented to keep Maine in tho Res publican column, but ho is ‘ punishing Hayrs” with all the means that God and nature havo placed in lily hands, Itayes stands up under panishment ro- markably well, He has asked no quarter aud mado no retreat, He seems not to be aware thet ho is boing punished; and the frightful castigation that is iu store for hin when three stroug Hepublican States go Democratio has no terrors for his mind. Th reason for his apathy is not far to seek, Ile doubtless focls, as moat sensible mon in his place would foel, that tho loss of every Ree publican Stato in @ho Union could be uo punishment to him. Ie has no political aspirations to serve boyond his presonut term, having declined @ renomination in advance. ‘The ouly party pledgos which bind Lim are thoso contained in the platform adopted at Cincinnati, which he has observed with scrupulous fidelity. Hs letter of scceptanea was distinct aunouncemout of tho policy he would put in operation, if electod, aud ho bas not swerved from that programme by @ hair-breadth, If Pickwickion statesmen, such as Qaurrox, Coxgime, and Bras, choose to go out, like modezn Judases, aud hong themselves, it is no concern of Presi- dont Havers, It fs they who have broken feith untba ‘The platform was their plat form ns well ashis. Fe has abided by it; they havo shamelessly trampled it underfoot, 6nd rovilod {t ns n false compact, Castenox, Wanr, Conguina, Rratve, and tk6ir followers belong to tho school of bel- ligerent politicians, ‘They keep discreotly away from tho front whon war is going on, but they thrive in the absence of better mon who are fighting. Il is to their interest that strifo abnll'be kept up ag long as porsible, and that tho conditions which brought their sorvices into request shall be maintained. ‘This is the reason for theirimplacablo course in relation to the Southorn question. They know that President Iares hat no honost alternative in the caso of Louisiana and South Carolina; that he adopted, in both instances, the policy transmitted {o him by the Republican Convention, and that the result has been most happy. With all thoir capneities for ignorance, theso statesmen cannot bo ignorant that profound peace provaila in overy part of the South, There are no more reports of outragos wpon the negroes, ‘The'Ku-Klnx havo disbanded, Tho Rifle Clnbs aro thinga of the past. Mur. der, rape, arson,-and anarchy nre not moro froqnent south of Mason and Dixon's lino than north of it, Toth races are working harmoniously in the fields, cultivating tho Inrgest crops known for years. Thoomploy- ers havo yielded to the employed voluntarily privileges which no process of force contd ever have oxtorted from them, The negro is more industrious than ever before, be- enuso more inclined to make his living in an honest way, and to lonva politics alone. In the five months ainco \tho In- augnration of President Hares’ pacification policy the negroes of the South have’ boen inore contented, more industrious, and moro secure in tho poxsossion of their rights than in any simifar period sinco tho introduction -of slavery on this continent. Emancipation was proclaimed by President Lixcory in 1863; it was ostablished os a fact by Preal- dont Hayes in 1877, Tho truth’ fs too plain to bo, concoaled from Buate, Conxiixo, and Oamenox, They know that tho Ppaeification pol- icy Jas been successful. Undor tXe circumstances, wo cannot fool that their continued opposition to it is sincore, or that they intond to ‘punish ‘Hares " on account of it solely, Thoy percotvo plainly enough tho simplo proposition that thoy cannot “punish Hares” without being themaclves punished by tha Democratic party.

Whouever the Christians havo. ro- bolled ngalnst thin servitude they have beon muet with oxtormiuation, When thu subjects of other natipns rebel, they ara tried by duo forms of law for treason; tho Christians of ‘Turkey have been hunted down aud killed, mau, woruan, and ehihl When a bandfal of poorly-armed Bulgayjan peasantry, inypir. ed by @ hopo of freedom frou the near ap. proach of tho Servians lost summer, arose in rebellion, instead of putting them down with a wilitary force and taking tholr arms from them, ag might have been done in o week, thoir bloudy - task. masters slew €0,000 men, women, and chil- dron, burned thoir villages,nnd sold thou. wands miore futo slavery, Ifenco it iy but natural that the Christian chould hate tho Turk with on undyiug hatred. Whon the Russians penetrated their country, driviug the ‘Turkish armios before them, the Bul. gariaus, sotuated by the most common in. pubso of ‘uman nature, rose in rovengo against the Mussulmans, ‘hoy welcomed the Muscovites aa their déliverors, who were to free them from their galling bondaye, ‘Vhey greeted them with overy expression of dolight. They furnished them with pro- visions, ‘They strowed their way with flow- est, They showed them tho secret passes over the Balkans, ‘They imagined they were froe, Tho tide of war turned, however. Its vicissitudes drove tho Russians back, and onea nore the hordes of Rashi-Bazonkr— moro pitiless than tho Thnga of India or the Modocs of onr Western wilde— returned. Tho bloody work commenced at once, No discrimination is shown, The iron order is insned to kill every Christinn,— mau, woman, and child, the sick, tho infirm, the aged.“ Delivor thom to fire and sword; slay all, every soul, till nono are left to tell,” an Marcel sings in *'The Hagnonota.” This order ig being carried ont ro mercilessly that it fs now apparent the ‘arkish Government ia bent upon tho extermination of the Chrie- tians southof the Balkans, ‘Thoreare but wo possibilities of escape for these unfortunate creatures. Eithor- Rossin inuat beat back the Turkish butchers with awift and tolling blows, so that sho can occupy the territory, or the othor~Powers must interforo in tho namo of humanity, hero ia little hopo that Rusain, in hor present situation, can inter. fora in timo to save them. ‘The forces of the two Powers, now confronting each other in Bulgaria ara so nearly matched in numbers, and the advantages of position aro so largely in favor of the Turks, that tho reault of the pending conflict is doubtful. Shonld tho Russians win o dociatra victory, they will Press thoir advantages .with such vigor and rapidity that they can protect the Christians. Should they bo defeated, howaver, the cam- paign will be over for this season, and thero will be no hopo left, except in intervontion. ‘The action of Germany in already warning the Porto that she is obsorving these atraci- ties is encouraging that it may be followed up with something more practical than warn- ings. If Germany and Anstrin, as has been intimated, should makotheso inhuman atroc- itlea tho sufficient pretext for nn active alli- ance with Russia, drive tho Tarks out of Enropo, ,and partition the country among’ themsolves, it would be a blessing to the world, Itisthe only solution of tho Eqst- orn question that oan bring permanent peaco and order, Tho Turks and Christiaus can never live together again in their former re- lations.
