The Czar and the British Premier. “Neither the patriotism of nations nor the polities of the courts of Europe will prevent the fall of the Ottoman Empire.” So said Napoleon at St. Helena, pursuing there his views of an earlier period as to the policy of Russia, The sudden change in Europe—the warlike, outspoken words at Moscow—almost suggest that the hour for the fulfilment of the prophecy is near. The Czar says that he will conquer the safety of the Christian subjects of the Sultan, “our brethren and coreligionists,” if he cannot gain it by negotiation ; and what the British Premier says implies, intentionally or other- wise, that such a result cannot be gained by negotiation. At the Lord Mayor's dinner in London, on Thursday last, the Prime Minister of Eng- land ‘‘ unpacked his heart with words.” In the ordinary course of events his speech would not have reached Russia for several days, and could not have disturbed the tem- per of the Czar or Friday. But the news in this case did not move in the sluggish chan- nels of ordinary communication. News agen- cies of several stripes sent liberal summaries of the speech to Vienna and to Berlin, to St. Petersburg and Moscow, even to Con- stantinople. More than this, the Russian Ambassador in England, who learned on Thursday night that the Premier's speech at the Lord Mayor's dinner had treated fully and freely the subject nearest the heart of the Emperor of all the Russias, put the whole substance of the Earl of Beaconsfield’s astounding words on the wires. On Friday, therefore, when the Czar received anaddress from the citizens of Moscow he was aware that the head of Her Majesty's government had sounded a chanticleer-like defiance across Europe, and had indulged in several ; not merely undiplomatic but grossly offen- sive references to Russia and Russian policy. He was farther aware that this was known, and was a subject of lively comment in every capital of the Continent. Perhaps no abso- lute sovereign that the world eversaw would have preserved his equanimity in the cir- cumstances, and it is not strange that the Czar’s indignation made itself evident in the defiant and resolute declarations to which he gave utterance on that occa- sion. It is difficult to see how a statesman in Earl Beaconsfield’s position could make use of such expressions as appear in his speech unless he had come to the conclusion that it was no longer worth while to bother himself with the discretions of diplomacy or the politic amenities of statesmanship. Had a point been reached from which it was evi- dent that war could not be avoided astates- man hitherto under restraint in: his public utterances might, if he lacked magnanimity, indulge himself in this way with scarcely covert insults launched at hisenemy. There is scarcely any other occasion in which such a speech would seem natural. If it could be conceived that a statesman had in his portfolio a handsomely written apology, such as Mr. Disraeli made to Prince Bismarck for hig reference to the case of Count Arnim at a former Lord Mayor's dinner, and if it could be further conceived that this states- man’s literary vanity drove him to make an oceasion for the publication of this apology, then it might be comprehended that the Since the great | o statesman would want just such words as were spoken by Earl Beaconsfield on this occasion. In every part of this speech it is England's position that the Premier nomi- nally states ; but he presents it in sucha way as to suggest the discreditable contrast presented by Russia. Thus, in reference to Arnim last year, he spoke of England in bold commonplace as a country where op- pression by the law was impossible, and turned all eyes on Germany, where, pre- sumably, such oppression was not impossi- ble. So he says now that England ‘‘covets no cities or provinces,” and thus appeals to the popular reproach against Russia that all her alleged motives are pretended ; that she is a natural cheat and impostor, and only wants more territory and the city of Con- stantinople. This may do for the British newspapers, in so far as they are irresponsi- ble, or for the British patriot of obscure eloquence, who drinks confusion to the Queen’s enemies at a race dinner down in the country; but for the Prime Minister of a great country to indulge in this sort of innuendo against a great government with which his Sovereign is presumably on good relations is bad manners and worse politics. His declaration that he ‘considered the Russian ultimatum unnecessary” may be a merely impertinent criticism on an act that wise and proper; but that sort of imperti- nence, by the expression of which one gains some credit in public for astuteness, while he avoids the rebuke which would follow its utterance in such a way that the Power reflected upon could properly answer it, is never ultimately advantageous to the critic. Earl Beaconsfield’s offensive references to Russian policy and his reflections on Rus- sia’s motives were, however, of less moment than his declarations of England's position. He declared that the policy of England was to maintain the ‘independence and territo- rial integrity” of the Ottoman Empire as secured by the Treaty of Paris, and intimated that England would support this demand at war if necessary. It is this proposition that the Treaty of Paris is the basis upon which the present negotiations must be conducted, and that England will, if pushed, fight for her position in that respectof which the Czar has taken notico in his declaration that he also will try the chances of war if he can- not obtain otherwise “the guarantees for carrying out what he intends to demand from the Porte.” Russia's and England's positions are here seen to be necessarily irreconcilable. England stands by the Treaty of Paris; but Russia repudiated that treaty in her famous declaration made in 1870, when sho practically defied the governments whose signatures were the guarantee of that treaty so humiliating to her to come to its support Russia has ever since assumed and held that hor declaration so made has relieved her of the | operation of that law, and the failure of any | of the signatory Powers to come to the sup. | port of the treaty justifies her view that for her, at least, that treaty is no part of the pub- lic law of Europe. it would require a war especially waged with that view to compel 1 her to recognize the validity of that instru-_ ment which she tore up with such eaten yet the maladroit English Premier holds forth to an audience of London gobemouches on the assumption that Russia will negotiate on the basis of the validity of that treaty. If Russia's ultimatum was unnecessary in view of the tractability of the Sultan what must be thought of this declaration of England that war will follow the fnilure of negotiation—a declaration made at a moment | when negotiation was just initiated? If this was not an attempt to apply the tactics of the bully—to supplement feeble diplomacy with noise—it wasan idle, mischievous and ridiculous threat. Already it is bearing fruit. The Russian people of all classes have responded to the words of the Czar in a manner to leave no doubt that when Rus- sia rnises the standard of the Cross all the resources of the nation will back its for- ward march. The stubborn temper in which the Porte finds itself is doubtless a reflex, too, of the encouragement to Ottoman hopes given by Lord Beaconsfield’s speech. The victories over the Servians in the field certainly cannot account for the defiant atti- tude of the Turks. It is plain that the Eng- lish Premier's utterance, by stinging Russia and stroking Turkey, has defeated the pro- jected conference in advance of its meeting. One of the few ways to a peace has been blocked by England. Turkey has taken her at her word with an alacrity which must at once mortify and startle the authorities of Downing street. Russia has taken the threat so unbecomingly uttered and an- swered it with another. another government thought, no doubt, | the hopelessness of staving off forever the struggle with Russia and civilization, takes advantage of the doughty utterance last Thursday to force the ally to her side that has committed herself. Here is mischief for Lord Derby, the Foreign Secretary, to cure. A hair's breadth either side of the situation is war. Can diplomacy split that hair and drag itself through? The prospect is more than doubtful. Semator Bayard and the Duty of the People to the Constitution and the Laws of the Country. Mr. Bayard’s position in the democratic party and before the country render his words especially significant during this critical situation, and they will be impressed upon the public mind by the force of their moderation and their firmness, It is with great satisfaction that we recognize this spirit which animates the democratic leaders, and which has found expression in an interview printed in yesterday’s World, It is to be noticed that the Senator is unwilling to be present at the session of the Returning Board of Louisiana, since, in his opinion, “no matter what may be the issue of tho returns or the conduct of the Returning Board, either set of such delegates would be totally without power to arrest the wrong in fieri or to remedy it when accomplished. Neither the prevention nor the cure lies with them nor with the President, but both do exist elsewhere, ample and well defined.” Upon the duty of the people and the dem- ocratic party he is very positive that it is necessary that the letter and spirit of the laws should be scrupalously followed and at the same time that their observance should be insisted upon with firmness and determination. In no other way can the expressed will of the people be fairly ascer- tained or their choice for the Presidential office be declared and. our President be in- augurated. ‘‘Which way these majorities or any of them are is a queation of fact which is or ought to be capable of distinct and positive proof if the laws have not been violated. It is by that fact that the Amer- ican people must stand, and not by any false and counterfeit presentment of that fact, whether prepared by the fraud of an official hand or not. Never was there oo- casion more gravely calling for an utter ab- sence of anything like personal irritation or party heat ; but, at the same time, never was there an occasion demanding more de- liberate and grave determination to insist upon the very truth’ and right of this ques- tion under the authority of the law and of the law alone. Our path will then be plainly marked for us and we can and will tread it with an unfaltering step.” The Stoppage of Business. Merchants complain of a general stop- page of business, and we beg the poli- ticians to bear in mind that this is a severe hardship to hundreds of thou- sands of people all over the country, It is absurd that we should be made to pay so heavily and continuously for the decision of the question—of little real importance to the mass of the country—who shall be the next President. Tho people are to-day like aswarm of bees which has lost its queen. The doubts, fears and anxieties which dis- turb us sre enormously costly. We could pay 1 fair slice of the national debt with what the country will have lost through the | excitement of the last week and the week or ten days which must yet elapse before we can hope for a definite settlement of the Presidential question. We hope the poli- ticians will not delay unnecessarily the final decision. It ought not to take more than a week to get in the returns even from the most far away counties of Louisiana. If such de- laysare to occur we shall ask that the collec- tion of election returns be assigned hereafter by s constitutional amendment to the New Yonx Hxnatp. That is independent and trusted by both parties, and it will under- take to get in the authentic vote of the whole country in less than four days, Frou Towzr to Towzr.-—We shall soon have a foot bridge from New York to its Brooklyn wards, but it will be a very high one, and those who cross will have to go up seventeen pair of stairs on one side and down seventeen pair of stairs on the other. We do not think, therefore, that the ferry companies would have much to fear from the compe- tition for a long time, even if this desirable foot bridge was open to the public, which it will not be. Itissaid that Centennial Dix is waiting for this foot bridge to be com- pleted that he may cross the Kast River to be Mayor of the Long Island ducks and snipe. We do not oredit the report, but the aged statesman on the lofty wire would draw a large crowd to witness his withdrawal from the canvass, Turkey, that feels | The Situation. The political situation is substantially unchanged as we go to press. The elec- tions in the three disputed States are still claimed by both parties; and it is now plain that only the official canvass by the returning boards can decide. The South Carolina Returning Board met yesterday to organize for business, but decided not to begin work until the 16th, next Thursday. It will then have to hear argument on the question— a vital one—whether, under the con- stitution of South Carolina its duties are merely ministerial, and confined to certify- ing the returns made by the County Can- vassers, or whether it may hear evidence concerning frauds and throw out votes where in its judgment fraud or intimidation is proved by either side. In the last case the democrats will charge fraud and intimida- tion in five counties and the republicans, so far, intwo. The Hznazp has received a brief despatch from Mr. Wallace, United States Marshal in South Carolina, and, we presume, 4 republican, who says the State has gone for Hamptomand Hayes. Ofcourse this is only an opinion. In Louisiana the Returning Board meets on the 17th, next Friday, to canvass the vote. There will be no question there as to its powers, for in 1872 and 1874 the Board threw out parishes at its pleasure, But our correspondent telegraphs that an attempt is making to induce two colored men, mem- bers of the Board, to resign and make way for men of better character. Naturally, they refuse, Great numbers of North- ern politicians and a sprinkling of statesmen have arrived, and so far seem to be making little satisfactory headway, each party closeting itself for private consultation. One would think the leading men of the two parties would get together and devise and announce to the public some fair and final way of de- ciding the dispute. We look for some prac- tical work when Mr. Evarts and Mr. Adams reach New Orleans, If the people could be assured by these two gentlemen that meas- ures had been taken toinsurea fair and honest decision we imagine the public would contentedly go about its business and wait in patience for the end. From Florida the ‘news is that the returns are now all in the hands of the county clerks. The Returning Board will not get to work for several days, and we must, there- fore, have patience. Meantime guessing has stopped, which is a great comfort. Both parties in Florida seem to have finally and sensibly determined to wait for the official declaration of the vote, which is of more interest and importance to us all up here, just now, than the whole orange crop of the State, with Senator Conover’s most posi- tive estimates thrown in. We think it a matter for public congratu- lation that the numerous tribe of dema- gogues and politicasters has become silent. We congratulate them on their moderation, which is as unexpected as it is pleasant. Usually and on less momentous occasions than this they rush about with suggestions, like a parcel of old women recommending remedies to aman who has burned his fin- gers. Just now they aro silent, and we heartily rejoice. So far no public disturbances are re- ported from any of the centres of excitement, and we may now hope there will be none, as the greatest pressure is over, for the present at least. The Clergy and the Elections. There never was a political crisis in which the clergy could so effectively serve the country without being partisan aa that which now excites both political parties. What we need at this time are appeals to moderation rather than apostrophes to pa- triotism, and we are glad to observe that most of our New York clergymen on Sunday took the only course in the matter which conscientious and Christian men could adopt. ‘End as it may,” said Dr. Bellows, “good citizens will acquiesce in the result ; | let bad men or impatient or blind partisans on either side object and struggle against it as they may, any undisputed decision will be better than further countenance of an ex- citement which inflames the coarser and low disciplined minds of the nation with violent animosities and the desire to use any means of making their own side victorious.” Other clergymen discussed the subject in much the same way, and the Rev. Mr. MacArthur summed up the whole case when he said:—‘‘In this country one party must suffer defeat ; so let the verdict of the people be taken and accepted as final. Either man so recently before the country as candidate for the highest office of the land is better, far better, than strife or trouble.” It is very gratifying to hear such words as these from the pulpit in times of great diffi- culty and danger. When the teachers of religion are united in preachiag moderation there need be no fear that the people will yield to their passions or forget their highest duty to themselves and their country. It is gratifying also that the clergy have followed in the course which the Hzratp marked out for itself nnd has pursued from the begin- ning of this crisis ; and, much as we esteem the compliment which Dr. Bellows paid to this journal, we are still better pleased to find the pulpit working harmoniously with the press to allay the excitement of the hour and assisting to obtain a general acquies- cence in tho verdict ot the elections, what- ever it may be. Ma Wenpex. Puts Spzaxs.—Mr. Phillips is o political Mother Carey's chicken. He is certain to turn up in stormy times, and we should have been a little at loss if his voice had not been heard in these days. He tells us that every act of President Grant will live in history as saga- cious and wise; that if Mr. Tilden is elected he will have to thank the New York and Boston newspapers; that but for the South- ern issue the republican party would have been little better than a mob in this election; that the South is unchanged, and that he respects it the more for not chang- ing; and that woman's suffrage is more than ever needed to save the country. This last is as though Mr. Samuel Bowles should now nominate Charles Francis Adams for President in 1880. Mr. Phillips is at least hoppy in having found a panacea for all our ills. . Whether he will aet ns all to awallow his bolas'in time to, save the patient is an- other thing. He adds the uncomfortable assurance that none of us will know who is to bethe next President until the 4th of March. Mr. Phillips has been so often mis- taken that we trust we may without offence hope he is, for this time, ‘‘wrong again.” The Northern Arbitrators. We hope the gentlemen who have gone South to watch the counting of the votes in the disputed States will not forget the homely old adage that ‘too many cooks spoil the broth.” There must be near upon a hundred eminent public men from the North now in New Orleans, or on their way there. ‘They cannot all be combined into a council of arbitration ; in fact we doubt if they could all get into the Custom House ; and we should think a good many of them would very soon see that they are in the way. Their opinions, if they should eventu- ally give them, would not satisfy the public, and this is a case where it is of extreme im- portance that the whole public; of both par- ties, shall be satisfied. What is needed is the agreement of the leading men of both parties upon a commit- tee of say three gentlemen from each side— men of the highest character for integrity and patriotism—whose unanimous certifi- cate tothe result of the count would, as a matter of course, satisfy every one. It was originally proposed that the two national committees should meet in New York and agree upon such a board, which they could easily do. A later suggestion is that Messrs. Hayes and Tilden should themselves select such men; but this, though probably it would amount to the same thing in the end, has about it a savor of personal greed and anxiety in the candidates which makes the proceeding a little indecent. There is @ very general feeling that the President has not been happy in his selection of per- sons to go to the disputed States, particu- larly as all or nearly all in his list are ro- publicans. He, who should not be a party man in this emergency, but the impartial arbitrator, would have done wisely to call forth the most eminent men of both sides. The constitution of the returning boards in South Carolina and Louisiana is of course in accordance with law; but the public, which is watching every detail of this dis- agreeable business, would be gratified if the republican leaders in those States should voluntarily admit representatives of both parties to the returning boards, In South Carolina this board is almost entirely constituted of persons who are candi- dates for re-election, and who must there- fore pass upon their own fate, or sit as judges in their own cases. In Louisiana the members of the present board are in the main those who were convicted by a Con- gressional committee last year of fraud in manipulating the vote. In both cases the letter of the law is fulfilled; but as the re- publican party believes itself to have a fu- ture its leaders, we cannot help thinking, would act prudently if they persuaded Governors Chamberlain and Kellogg to make some changes looking to an impartial constitution of the boards. What is most needed now, however, is the announcement. that proper committees of Northern citizens have been selected to watch and superintend the action ofthe returning boards on the part of the nation. Such an announcement, if the names were satisfactory, as they could easily be, would relieve the public anxiety and give us all patience to wait and confidence in the result, no matter what it may be. We hope to beable to make such an announcement very soon. It ought not to be delayed a day. The Weather. The’ storm centre reported yesterday morning as having reached the lakes has now moved into Canada, accompanied by strong winds. From the fact that reports from that region were missing last evening we can judge that the storm has interrupted telegraphic communication to a considerable extent along the. St. Lawrence Valley. The depression in Nova Scotia still continues to move very slowly eastward, with light rains. in the West an area of very high barometric pressure has moved southeastward along the Missouri Valley. The highest pressure re- corded is that at North Platte, where the barometer indicates 30.74 inches, Intense cold accompanies this area, with snow, sleet and rain at different points within its limits. We predicted the appearance of a storm from the western part of Texas, and the disturbance has now made its appearance in the Southwest, It follows an area of high pressure which is now moving over the South Atlantic States and brings very cool weather to those semi- tropical regions. There is a remarkable vari- ation of temperature all over the country at present. Thus Chatham, in New Brunswick, has had the same morning temperature as St. Mark's, Fla.; Corsicana, in Texas, the same as Key West, Fla. The area of great- est cold is now west of the Mississippi and that of highest temperature is in Texas. We may therefore look for a violent storm, fol- lowed by os ‘‘norther,” in the last named State within the next twenty-four hours, The weather in New York to-day will be cool and partly cloudy or cloudy, possibly with very light rain. Mr. Tilden Behind Mis Ticket. It was frequently remarked during the canvass by independent voters that the ideal result for the country, the absolutely best and most satisfactory—at least, to these in- dependent voters—would be the election of Mr. Hayes to the Presidency, but the elec- tion at the same time of democratic govern- ors and State legislatures in all the South- ern States. Thus those who desired this result said republican party would be once moré’ trusted with the federal ad- ministration, while the Southern States would be relegated to local self-government and the white people there, the intelligent and property owning class, would be en- abled to make needed reforms in their local affairs. It would be add if this result, very little expected by those who wished it, should really come about, At this writing it is not entifely unlikely. In South Carolina a erable vote seems to have been t for Hayes and Hamp- ton, and this Mr. Tilden runs behind bia ticket w! er enough to lose him tha | tionalvst say: State is, of course, yet unknown. In Flor ida our latest despatches show that Mr. Tilden also runs behind the State ticket, the reason given being that the Northern settlers, who are numerous, generally voted for Hayes, but for the dem- ocratic State and local tickets. That is to say, they wished good local government, and were determined to turn out the republican rogues in the State government, but so far as the national ticket goes they voted as they were accustomed to, with the republi- cans. Itis not unlikely that a fair count may show the same course to have been pursued in Louisiana Many respectable Northern men in that State—indeed, we may say all respectable Northern men there—have in the last two elections voted the democratic State ticket, while in 1872 they supported the republican national ticket. They were anxious to rid themselves and the State of the shameful and ruinous misrule of Kellogg and Packard, while in national politics they remained republicans. Their votes and in- fluence, properly exercised, may show the election of a democratic State ticket—which every good citizen in the country ought to desire—but the loss of the State by Mr. Til- den, which would, of course, be a bitter dis- appointment to the Northern democrats. It is not useful to speculate about the re- sults in the disputed States at this time; but the peculiarity of the local democratic tickets running ahead of the democratic Presidential ticket shows conclusively that a considerable number of the _ intel- ligent republicans have been forced by local misgovernment to turn against their party. Whatever the result for the Presidential ticket may. be all honest men, of both parties, may unite in the hope that in the three disputed States the repub- lican politicians ,have been overthrown. They were mere bummers and camp fol- lowers, and have misruled too long. Have Patience. The quiet and orderly attitude of the whole nation during a week of un- precedented anxiety and excitement is something of which we may'all feel very proud. We trust this condition of absolute peace and order will not be disturbed, and we see no reason at this moment to fear that it will. The excite- ment runs highest of course in the dis- puted States, but it is gratifying to read that even there there is no dis- order. In Charleston, at the suggestion of the federal commander, the Mayor is re- organizing the police and putting respon- sible men in place of excited and irrespon- sible colored policomen, who are probably unfitted to perform police duties at such atime. New Orleans is still orderly, and we hope it will continue so. We once more urge every citizen, no matter what wrongs he fears or what he may even have reason to fear, in the disputed States, to remain pa tient, and to insist on the utmost and most absolute good order. No man, demo. orat or republican, can do a greater injury to his party or his cause than to commit an act of violence just now. The orderly part of the North would be- very apt to resent lawlessness at this time somewhat fiercely; - for there is no American but feels that it ia necessary to our good name, and for our fature pride in ourselves, to pass this ordeal successfully and in absolute peace. Let the Southern whites have patience They cannot do themselves a better service with the ‘North now than to await in quiet and peace and to accept with loyal good nature the result of the election, no matter if it shall be disappointing to their hopes. If they conduct themselves well they will win anew the brotherly regards of the North; and they will find in Northern sympathy a remedy for the evils from which they have so long suf- fered which will work a quicker cure than all their political agitations or even than their utmost efforts at the polls, The sober and sensible part of the North wishes and means no harm tothe South. If Mr. Hayes should be elected President neither his disposition nor the public opinion of the North would tolerate a continuance of thi misrule which has been not merely tole rated, but supported and encouraged by thi present administration. _No matter whe is chosen President we dre to turn overs new leaf so faras the South is concerned, and nothing can prevent this except vio lence and disorder by the whites in the South, which would give Northern republican demagogues a renewed ascendancy with the people and enable them to defeat the efforts of honest republican statesmen for reform. The country means to have an absolutely fair court of the votes of the disputed States, Let every Southern man, white or black, be. lieve that. And whatever the result may be the country means to have it promptly, loyally, good naturedly accepted; and it will make it very unpleasant to anybody who attempts to create a fuss about it.
