To any ove familiar with local conditions, this was an even more {mpracticable absurdity than the peaccful oecapation of Bosuia by the Austriaus, and it {s not, therefore, to be wondered st that the Rus- alan Plenlpotentiarics, knowing this to be the case, made no great o\:jecuan 1o signing away concessious which they were determined never actuaily to make. Cotnmon prudence, however, would ‘have suggested that, until sowme evidence had been afforded of thelr intentfon to comply with the one clause in the treaty which’ compelled them to withdraw from the neigbborhood of Constantinople, all complica- tions would have been avolled by the English Government o other parts of ths world, ~ In- deed, the constant presence of the fleet in the neighborhiood of the Bosphorus imylled, on our part, & doubt of Russian good falth in this direction and & certaln consclousness that the rnronnlb!ll! f making a treaty involved the obligstion of secing that it was carried out. But the leading actors of the Beriin comedy wWera too anxfous to obtaln eredit for their per- formance to walt for the evidence of its success. They either did not kuot, or were afraid to let the nation suspect, the truth, and, by way of reassurlng it, scattered themsclives far and wide for their holidays to reposs in tha fool's paradisc of **peate with honor.' Had they re- malned at the helm of the shipof State instead of mcglectiox thelrd duties they would have percelved, from tho flrst, {ndications of the diificulties that would in- evitably arise out of the Kastern Rouinelian blunder, aud have becu careful not to tie thelr bands with complications elsc. where, taving mailethe first egregious mis- take of creating an Esstern Roumclia at all, the least they could do was to be on tho alert to muet the dangers which it was sure to involve, and give Russia to understand that it was their Intentiou, by force if necessary, to sce that tho stipulations which had been enterod into should De carried out. THR CANUL DANGER, When, therefore, newa arrived that a Russian Envoy bad reached Cabul, to create a diversion fu that direction and so assist Rusela in cvading Ther obligatlons in European Turkey, no motlco abould have buen taken of this ruse. It would bave becn quite time euough, after we had cleared the Ruasians out of Roumells, to have cleared Col. Stolyetoff -out of Cadtul; a resl- dence there of ayear or two would have done him no good sud us no harm; in face, the prob- obility: 18 i we had left the Russians to thelr own devices in Afghanistan they would soou have basome uupopular sod objacts . of. ausplcion, . and - & .very - little .Tuet Intrigua with the distrustful clementsof tho country would bave sufficed to expel them, Jostead of which, while our hands are more than full {o Eastern Roumells, we fail biindsold imto the frap that Russia pr:}uru for us on our Indlan frontier, and blunder head'ong inte a quarrel which she has contrived, with the dellb- erate design of embarrassing us g0 comrflet:ly that it 1a hofcw we shall be powerlcss in Eu- rope. Iu this expectation it Is very possible sba will find horsclf mistaken; but nothing cap ex- cuse the nmp“cll{. not to say stuplaity, of our Uovcroment 1 allowiog thenisclves to'bs hood- winked by a mission luto Afchanistan which could have no poesible influence or importance except that which they themselves chose to gnvugl. No doubt thoy percelve thelr mistake now; and if the whole thing bad to be done over agaln we should hear nothing of Col, Btolyetoft and his mission; but in tho meantime the oplsodu hae furnished us with an evidence of fncapacity on the part of the duvernment so gross that 1t can only fusplre the profoundest mistrust for tho future. The least that could be expected of them after have jug got the country {nto this scrape would be that they should como and attond to their du- tles, With a political horizon blacker than it hias ever becu within the momory of sthis geu- eration the country is left apparently to take care of iteelf aud sweep down the current of uvents, while the management of its affairs is left in the hands of the bead clerks of depart- ments. It §s possible—indeed probable—that they sre s Jeal sbler and moreexperienced men than their chiefs, but Ministers may de- vend that the nation will resent the contempt with which it is being treated, It li, perhaps, not thelr fault that they bave proved themsclves incapable; Lut thoy migut at least endeavor to make up for thelr lack of capacity by thelr lo- dustry and zeal. WR MUST BX OALM, Meantime, one lhlnslh certuin,—elther wa must make up our miods to soe the Treaty of Berlio blown to the winds and substitute tha word disuouor for honor, or we shail bave to onforce it and substhute the word war for pesce. There ls absolutely no escapo trom this a'lsrnative, sud the sooner the nation is taught 10 face the prospect the better, 1t can either warch to dishoner bebind Lord Besconsfield or Mr, Gladstone as it fecls {nclined. 11 It prefers marching to war it will probably preter the proseat Government, even though the War Mipfster has gone to Cyprus, It is nota pleasant prospect efther way, but it needs no rophot tu make the vrediction; and if Min! ers refuso to rouse themsclves to the fmmi- nenco of the peril {t s the duty of the uation to rouse the Ministers.

TR INVESTIOATION AHOWING THE CORRUPTION OF NEARLY ALL THE DEMOCRATIC LEADERS, fpecial Dispatch to The Tridune. ATLANTA, G, Nov. 17.—The investigation of Gov. Cotnuitt s assuming & shape and Impor- tance entirely unlooked for. The testimony im- vlicates many of the prominent Democratic leaders of thc Btate in the transaction. Next Tuesday t will be made public that Murphy vald part of the £3,000 that he received to all of the prominent Democrats frum whom he zot opinlons that it was legal for the Governor to sign the bowds. A great senration was created today by the Cunstitution boldly publishing what purports to Le a very suthentic outline of what has been sdduced before the Comunittee. A letier written from the Senate Chamber fn ‘Waslington DY SENATOR HILL to Gov. Colquitt, which is very damaging to its author, will be read in the Committce Monday night when its meets.

Such a cuurse, Stepnens thought, woald have a bad effect an the Democratie par~ ty, which could not win by wholesale atiack on the President.
