Abrond, the Old Year has witneased n gon- eral political upheaval., France was throat. oned with civil war; but the determination of the majority of her people that tho Ro- public should be administered upoun n par. liamontary and coustitutional bnsis finally triumphed, and the cloud haa passed over. Grent Britain has been distorbed by com- morcial revulsions, and is now agitated with prospects of war in which she may bo ot ively engaged, Germauy, Austrin, and Italy have been tranquil, but the long scrica of strugglos between Russia and Turkey, sinco tho time of Peren the Great, haa ngain been rosumed, and, sinco April Iast, the Belavio provinces ond Asia Minor have been deluged with blood. During the earlier atages of the war, Russin made no progresa; indeed, in Jnly her armios wera almost shattered by Muxnran Prsha and Ossan Pasha, Hor wonderful power of recuperation, how- ever, placed her armies in the fleld as strong o8 ever, and the tlde of baltle speedily turned, * With the fall of Kars and the investment of Erzeromm in Asia, and tha capitulation of Plovoa in Europe, the power of Turkey was broken, and Russla {s recognized aa the victor, although Turkey has not yet mado a formal surrender. The New Year will determine whether the theatre of the war will be extended, whether En- gland will enter the field In defouso of her Eastern interests, and, in case she does, whether that involves a general Eurcpean war.- The two prominent events in Asia hiave been the foarful famine that Las swept over Indis, and the jnvasion of the great Province of Knshgar by the Chiness, which was nccomplishod fmmediately’ after tho death of Yaxoon Bea, the Khan of Kashgar, whose place was filled by an incompetent successor, and was expedited by the oc- cupation of the Russians with Turkey, Africa has presented no special featares of interest, excopt in connection with the im- portant explorations of Branizy and others, and the evident detormination of the En. glish to seize upon their results and establish s vast commercial empire, with its contre along the banks of the Congo. Death has resped 8 large harvest during the year, but the number of great men who have gone is less than last year. The polit- fcal world has lost three eminent men, M. Tuixxs, the French statesman and historian, United States Senator MorTtoN, and M. Oan. anis, the Greek Prime Ministor and patriot. Commercial business will miss Commodore Vawprasir, Wirinam B. Odpzy, Avnvix Apamy, Moszs H. Geowenr, and Witnax F. Coowmaven. The drams losea Daves- rort, Evwin Apass, Bex DxBas, Matiipa Hxsox, and Lucirs ‘Westesy ; and music, Tuexess Trezsxws, Prraxius, Licayzs, and Brxrz. Art has lost but ons prominent name, Joxs Haart, the sculptor. Throe great great Generals havo passod away, CHANGAR- wizs, Breoamrz, sud Vox Waaxaen Our own navy has lost six RearAdmirals, Atpey, Barru, Wixzs, Bausy, Gords- soRovGH, and Davis. Literature loses Moz~ 2xv, Ausorr, Owxy, snd Wazzxx, the En. glish novelist.

Thers are 50 millions now waiting to bo coined; 50 millions moro may be dug out from the bowels of tho earth; 100 mill- jona moro will come to us in exchangs for commodities wo have to sell, ond at fair prices. It in puorile to talk abont the Hm- ited capacity of tho mints. That capacity can bo enlarged to moot the demand, for Inbor and material will never bo cheapor. Tho interests of the Government, tho wel- fare of business, tha prosperity of the farm- org, the very life of tho manufacturors, tho soundness of financinl institations, tho obli- gations of good faith botween creditor and debtor, and, flnally, the single hope of re- sumption,—all depend upon the utilization of the silver resources that now lio idle, superfluous, and usoless. THE CHANDLER FIASCO, The missile hurled by the *‘ Implacables ” in the shapo of Wirutam E. CuaNprin's statemont, which they cxpected to act ds o bombaliel], has proved to be a fizzle, Thore was scarculy any oxplasion, and nobody haa boen hurt. The only uttention this docu. ment has oxcited has boon in thq shape of derision, the exposure of the conspirncy that lies behind it, or o denial of everything it contained in the way of specifio allegation. Mr. Cuanprew'’s porsonal motive for moting as the tool of tha sorehead politicians was not merely to gratify his own spite at being anubbed by the Administration, but also, it {s sald, to roach oul for the United SBtates Benatorship in New Hampshire, There Is an mdication thal he has missed fire in this di. reotion s well as others, and the New York T'imes voports that his ‘‘statemont™ will find no more sympathy in New Hampshire than it bas found elsewhere, Tl real pur- pose, of which Cuaxpren's document is but one link in a chain, has been general- ly apprehended, viz: An effort to force President IHaxes into the Democrat. ic party by oompelling him to look to that party alone for wympathy and support unless he shall consent to resign himaelf to the dictation of a certain clique of politiclans who have valuly sought thus far to control him. It may be that the scorn and con. demnation with which the Cuaxoren mani- festo has been received will induce the men who prompted him to issue it to abandon the policy of which it was designed to be the fororunner; this would leave Cnanores to carry alono the odium of the slanders and misrepresentations to which he has given circulation, aud it would not indicate wuch bravery or honor on the part of those who bad prodded him on only to desort him. Nevertheless, Ouavprzr hLimself is s very insignificant person, La was a willing tool in doing the dirty work, and he might be left to Lis fato without much remorse on the one side or commiseration on the other, while the gentlemen who may be said to be his principals will find it the part of wisdom not to push their warfare to the extremity of losing the present Administration for the Republican party or glving the Democratic party tho prestige aud advantage of sus- taining it in its noblest work, viz.: The purification and systematization of the pub- Lio service. ‘There has been one result of Cuaxprzs's pabilication which will warrant the Implaca- ble chiefs in deserting him and throwing him back on bis own respopsibility, ,Praity John Pettitt, Indlana: D.

The great railroad nrterics wero closed. Nothing could bo moved ono wey or the other, Trains were switchod upon side-tracks all over the land, and armed mon forbid their re. moval. For nearly thirty days there was o total or practical suspeusion of traffic; an appeal to arms and the actual resort to military force becamo necessary, The lous to trade caused by this interruption of traflic can hardly be measured by estimates, Fol- lowing quick upon these operations waa the widespread nlarm cauled by the closing and failure of many savings banks in the West and at the East, Induo timo it was discov. erod that the largest savings bank in this city and in the West was not only bankrupt, but that its management had been grossly dis. honest. A natural sequel to this was the closing of two other large savings bauks, the collapse of a number of emall pri- vate baunks, and these were wupplement. ed by tho closing of several of the National Banks, The same fatality affeoted banks in other parts of the country, auda general sentiment of distrust and want of confidenco has prevailed all over the North- ern Btates, The yoar 1877 alio witnessed the nctual collapse of several lorge life- iusurance companiea and the practical fail- ure of several others, and all under circum. stances caloulated to destroy confidence in human integrity. ‘These circumstances have all tonded to cripple, embarrass, and destroy trade, and especially todepress manufactures. The Becretary of the Treasury aod the money-lending interest of the Eastern States have contributed to the general alarm and want of confidence by persistently insisting that one year hence thers shall be but one form of currency, gold coin, and that sll debts and liabilitics, of whatever kind, shall then be paysble in gold coin,—gold coin made moro costly by the legal prohibition of silver, Despite all these things, Chicago has been able to do an incroased business ; sho has bought and sold more merchandiss of all kinds than the year beforo ; she has bought and sold not only more merchandise in quan- tity, but also more in valus, and this, too, uotwithstanding & large decline in prices. Out of the geueral gloom and stagnation which have enshroudsd o many of the citics of the ocountry, Cbicego comes out of the Joax 1877 with aa acooust ahowiag that, de- codo of morals should be framed, and one cardinal article theroin ba this: That it isas great a sin to eat when one is not hungry ss to drink when one is not thirsty. One cus- tom is as injurious of the public hoalth as anothier, Merely becanse the symptoms of one kind of excess nre in some instances more cpparent outwardly than those of the other, thelr relativo importance is ofton mis- judged. The custom of forming good resolutions on Now-Year's Day is porhaps more gener- ally observed than any other. It is an ex. cellent cuatom as far as it goes,—indeed, the best of all connected with the day, Wenlk human nature needs a starting-point in tho year. The couvenlenco of wiping off old scores by a simplo not of grace, and be- ginning over again, cannot bo overestimated. Itis only surpassed by the convenience of brenking tho resolutions when they become troublesome, Thoro aro so many plensant things to swear off from that no mortal need be without a rolemn pledgo and covenant to-day. Wine ond tobacco are the luxurles that take strongest hold of the systom, and conse. quently the ones which men endeavor most carnestly and most unsuccosafully to get rid of. Many other small vicos, very injurlons in the long run, the community would like to seo nbated. Wo desire more people to reform their bad tompors, cynical thoughts, and sour looks, and to banish, first of all, the habit of whin- ing. Thetrue reformation outlasts the yoar snd requires no renowal; it is bormn of o sturdy purpose {o keap solf-reapect standing before consclence, and do justice to all men a8 it is demanded of them, Y OAN THE COUNTRY RESUME IN GOLD UNE YEAR FROM TO-DAY? Itis the most scriona problem presented by the New Year. Undor the existing law the United States Govornment binds itself to redcem in gold on demand 850 millions of greenbacks—equivalent to one-fifth of the entire bonded indobtedness—just one year from to-day, Can it be done? The opera- tion of this law will likawige compel banks to pay their depositors in gold, werchants to pay theirbills in gold, farmers to pay their obligations in gold, all mon who are in debt and all wen who shall currently contract debts, to pay in gold. Can this be done? The time isshort. A yearisbuta brief span {n human existonce. Thoso who already feel age growing upon them know with what marvelous rapldity a year runs out its race, and to nono other does it fly so precipltately and remorsely s to the man ‘who bas a debt to pay. ‘The queation, then, is one of immediate, , snd relentless urgency: Can the oc resume payment on demand in gold oue yoar from to-dsy of all the obligations, publio and private, of all the bank notes, of all the call-loaus, of all the depouils, of all the matured and maturing debts? It will not do for the Goverument to say that {t belicves it can schieve its part of the undertaking with a gold reserve of 100 mill. ions or thereabouts. It is not a matter to be determined by the speculations or fudgment of transient Governmeut officials. It is not 100 millions of uotes that areto be redeemed in gold, nor yet twice that sum; itis 850 millions. There is no privilege or option about it extending over s term of years; it is plainly and simply sn obligstion of 350 millions of dollars which matures sud be.

The **yense " of tho orgaulzation, as determined by & rising voto and without single ox- pression of dissent, is, that * the old ortho- dox doctrine of future and endless punish. ment of tho finally impenitent is firmly held by nll the Evangelical churches of this day within our limits.” Ex-Queen Isanerrs, of Spain, has pub- lished o letter in the F'igaro protesting against the oxpulsion of Don Carvros from Franco on sccount of an alleged conspiracy agaiust tho present King of Spain, 8he de. nies that shois a party to any such con. spiracy, or that any exists, and declares that tho intimate friondship which exista be. tween liersolf and Carros has nothing to do with politics. ‘Tbe idea that she would conspiro against her dearly.beloved son is espocially distressing to her tender sensibili- tics; but it would appear that Avrroxso takes but a limited amount of stock in the old woman's professions of undying devo- tion, for it is announced that the BSpanish Government has broken off all relations with the ex-Queen. A very few words comprise the document concerning which the entire civilized world is intensely anxious at this time, En. gland's note to Russla is short and to the point,—simply informing the Czar that the Torte is ready to open peace nogotiations, and that from the Eunperor's wisdom and his frequent cxprossions of love for peace, her Majesty's Government infers that bo will lond & favorable ear to the Bultan's request. Only this, and nothing more; but cuough, iu view of all the circumstances, to lay the foundstion either for absolute peace or for war upon a more gigantio and tremen- dous scale. It is waid—with what suthority does uot yet appear—that Russia bas replisd to tho Euglish note to the effect that if Tur- koy desires an armistice she must apply dircet to the Russisn Commander-in-Clief.
