This change of title of the highest ofiicer of the Empirc Is probably designed to indlente o change from the old systcm of abso- lutlsm to o parlismentary government. In place of & Grand Vizior, who was the alter ego of tho Sultan and practically supreme o long as he was in office, we aro to have a Presldent of the Council of Ministers, and these Ministers areresponsible to tho Parliament, as in France, It this chango can be made fn fact, as well as {n name, it will be a revolution, an cntirely new departure for Turkey, and it certalnly scems possible, In viow of the uncxpected Influence which the Parliament at Constantinople Lias ex- erted, in spite of the Grand Vizler, durlog the past fow months. Achmet Velk Pashs, the man who in. sugurates thia new system of government, fa, without exception, the most remarkable man in Turkey. He bhas beon my nelghbor and friend for many years, and I can speak of him from personal knowledge. He is a man about 60 years old, with tho traditional embonpoint of a Turkish Pasha, with a remarkably flue head aud intelligent face, which at times'ls ab- solutely radiant with fun and humor. [is home is a little red bouse in the villuge of Roumell Hiasur, on the Bosphorus, in which ne Jives with the simplicity of ‘a Spartan: but his pride 18 his garden and library, No King wus ever mors oroud of his jowelis than he of his plauts and trees—all “ralsed by himself from the sced, and Including varletles from cvery part of the world, In this arden s his firc-proof lbrary, coutaloing 4000 or 8,000 cholce books and mauuscripts, tn twenty diffcrent languages the nul{ valuable private library fn Constautinople, fu the gar- den, fo frout of tho lbrary, Is a terrace which overlooks the Bospliorus at its most beautiful point, where on a moonlight summer's night you are surc to find Achmet Vetlk, smoking fils chibouk und entertalning Ms visitors, It mat- ters littlo In what langusge you address him. Ho underatands them all. Start any subject ou like, and ho witl ntunuh‘!uu by his fainll- rity with it. £ heard htin discourse an hour one night on the Inspiration of the Beriptures, in a stylo worthy of Prof. Park, i reply to & Uerman {ntide!, who had spoken of Insplration as an absurdity, e is always enthusiastic when he speaks of the Turks, tuclr language, and their bistory, smmnqn 10 ona knows or regrets more than he the faults and blunders of the last lln:nl.l ‘ylem; and no uno has done so much to brea! lown the barriers of ignorance aud linprove the system of education, Hc has probably spent more time and mouncy In preparing school-books thau all the other Turks in Constantinople com- bined. ‘A thorough patriot, ho fs always ready todefend his countey in tho presence of for- elguers; but he kuows her weakness, aud In the councils of the nation speaks with 3 boldncss wuich often tils his hearers with cousternation. For tustauce, hio was catled a year a2o tosttend 8 graud vouncil of the diguitarics of the Em- lre. Ho was asked by the President what he hought of the situation; what was the first thing to be dons. He n:gllcd, deliberately: *In my opiolon, if we would save tho Stato ,the first thing to be dona is to hang half the mum- bers of this councllt” Faturally e §s uot a popular man with the ofticial clags. He fs not ouly too outspoken but too bonest. Althouyh ho has held some of the highest oftices, no ona has ever accused nim of stealivg or taklug bribea. Although he s & poor wnan, hisncighbors all kuow that he slways Pays his debts, and is almost the only man who ngver keeps bis grocer and his butcher waltin, for itheir ducs. He declares bimself o %oofi Mussulman; but his definitlon of tho fait) Islaw is one that would indude a yood man) who never thought of calliug themsclves Mus- sulmans. * Whoever believes that thero is ono God, to whom ail men gre responsible for their actiops, that man'’ he sdys, 15 a good Mussul- mau.” * He bas but ono wife, and the famlly lite 1a his housc—cxcept gs it naturally follows the external custuis of the country—1y more llke tuat of New Englaud than liko what we imagiue to be the family life of tho Turks. Al Euglisn and Amcriean ladies who visit them are charmed with Its simplicity and sincerity. I hod the uther day, in o letier from Turkey, an fllusteation of his dry iwmor. A gentleman spoke to him of Victor' Emmanuel, and of how remarkablo it was that ho should have died be- forc the Pope. **Yes," he said, *1t was a mean Iittla Intrizuc of the King to slip oft alicad of the P'opa to the other world and secure the beat ploce, that hie tnight continue to worry the old man there.” Il was_once appointed Minister of Indrect taxcs, and wished to purify the Custom-House ot Constantinople, Which was natoriously corrupt, Ifo sent for the wreatest thiet therg, a bizh oftical, and told him that he liad spectul conflidenco fo him and wished his aid in selecting good men from the present em- ployes. Ho begeed bim to give himatist of those Wwho could he trusted. Of vourse the man gave hitm a list of all his own confederates; but was nstonished the next day to find hmself and all his fricnda turned out In disgrac. The chicf fault of Achmet Venk Pasha as an ofticial is that he has not a very high opinfon of tho abllity or honesty of many of his assoclates in office, nnd Is uot inclined to conctliate them, ‘They look upon him as arbitrary and unpractical, and do not enjoy lls frecdom of speeeh, Sulll he wan the highiest prafso last vear as President of tho Turkish Olidtibkt bi Daputies, snd 1 be- lleve gavo universal satisfaction, althoughman: predictod that he would fall in that most dQifil- cult position. Ills present appolntment s very siznifleant, not only as a trivuto to his abliity and integrity, but from the fact that he s thor- oughly pro-English and antl-Russlan, Ilo s the most Intimate fricnd in Constantinople of Mr. Layard, the Diritlah Ambassador. This would secm to prove that, although there has of late been o popular outbreak of feeling against England {n Coustantinople, the Sultan is atlll wise cnough to sco that England con- tinuca to be the most sincere and honest frieud of the Ottoman Empire.

C., Feh. 17.—The silvermen are very confident to-night that the House will to-morrow take up the Silver bill as passcd by the Scoate and pass it under n suspension of tho rules without debate. There have heen conferences upon this subject to-day, and the more sagacious of the feaders favor that course. Bome, however, prefer debate. Those who op- pore debate say that, if the bill {a once open to discussion, it will Le fmpossible to tell when the arguments will end or in what ehape the bill would finally pass, and that, in view of the different theorics as to detalls, It inight have to be sent agoln to the Senate. 1T 18 TIE PRESEXT FURIOSE, THEREPORE, to endeavor to puss {t to-tiorrow under surpen- slon of tho rules, and there Is not much doubt that the bill will recoive four-fifths rath- er than two-thirds. The next fnteresting point will be: Will the President veto it? Opintons differ as to his course. While none think that he will approve It, there are some confident that he will not vetg ft, but will permit it to becuine o law by non-nction within the cousti- tutional ten days’ period. In any event, the ultimate result” would not be changed, for it 18 now very evident that the bill could pass the Benate over a voto. . -\ TOE TUREE AENATORS wwhose votes hiavy heen considored doubtful are Windom, of Minnesota, Cameron, of Wisconi- alu, and Paddovk, of Nebraska, It ¢an be au- thoritatively stated that each of the Senators huve sald thot o veto could not change their po- sitlon, Their three yutes, therefore, make the passago of the bill over a veto certuln, THE DANKING AND CURRENCY COMMITTEE, The tnembers of the touse Banking and Cur- rency Commitice met this afternoon to consider tha praper course to be pursucd as to the Silver bill, The whole Committee will hold a mecting to-morrow mornlug before the scasion of ~ Congress, to declle.

The President’s views were that the silver dol. iar should be remonctized and wade a leg: tender for all future debts, public and private, axcept futerest on the publle debt and duties, but that it should not be allowed to he a legal- tender for any past contracta, elther of the Gov- ernment or of private individuals, ‘Thie plain inference from the debate and votes upon amendments in the concluding portfon of the night session is that there ts a large najorl- ty in the Senate which WOULD OPI'OSE ANY FURTIER CONTRACTION, ond would favor a repeal of the Resumption act. The single-standard men f that the (m-l{-mu votes cast for Ferry’s amendinent would probably be given for a repeal of the e suwptiun act.

PERUY'S BIEECIL The followlng signiticant passage from the apcech of Ferry, of Michigan, indicates the posl- un of the radical grecnback men iy the Scenato. It alsoshows Scerctury Sherman's® uncertainty as to the rcal incanlng of the Resumption act. Alluding to the Heasumption act, Ferry said: * 1 know somethine of that act, because I was a member of the Cominitice that helped frameit. When the bill was reported to the Benate, tho then Benator 8churz put the ques- tion to Sherman, Chalrinan of the Committee on Flusoce, who made the report, * What will bu the construction of the word *redeemed ™ | Will the Unlted Btatcs notes bo canceled under tuar word “ redeemed " (' and the theu Senator from Ohio, now Sceretary of the Treasury, sald that the Cumuwitteo WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE, but that that question was loft to future legls- lation. Now the opportunc womeut bas ow- curred, when the Scoate has prosounced bya large ma| that no more contraction of the greenbac all take place. In the judgnent of the Henato, thisis the very future legulatfonto which the then Senator from Ubio atluded, snd the Scnate has declded, as far as this brauch of the Government is concerned, that thery shall be no more coutraction of greenbacka” In tbe couree i this debate, Joues, ol Nevada, au- nounced himself as & radical reenbacker.

The bill as it passed fs In substance the original Bland bi}l, with the froo colnage scetion stricken out, the addition of the Allison amendment relative to an international conference, and a change in some of the phrasc-, ology deslened to prevent any Sceretary of the Trearury oppored to the execution of the b from defeatine Its purpose.

None of the Scnators who voted yea can be expected to chango their position or thelr opinfons In cons scquence of a Presldential veto, whousu votes have bueen considered doubtful, but without whom the blil could not be passed vver o veto, were Windom, Paddock, and Kelloge.

He stated that hie had given tho subject themost consclentlous considerntion,and had come tn that conclusion. Paadack, as to whom doubts had bLeen ratsed, voted with tho rest of the sitver men, and Kellozz, who had scrupttlously declined defininz his position, voted at every stage with the silver men WITHOUT OFFERING ANY EXFLANATION, Of those who voted against the bill, Blaing hos attracted the most comment among the silver fien. His speech on. presentiog his amendment, and the antagunistic position which hie had ussumed with raspect to the salt-water Shylocks of the Atlantic Const, scemed to indi- cate that he was ddesirous of lfting Limself out ol New England,—of placing hinself in the front runk of the sentimont. of the West, where mainly his political strengthlies.
