NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1876.—TRIPLE SHEET. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS From All Parts of the World. THE EASTERN UNPLEASANTNESS. Lord Beaconsfield’s Attempt to Settle the Dis- pute Before the Lord Mayor a Failure. THE CZAR DOES NOT SMILE. A Comparison of Dates Shows Not Bravery, but Brag. [BY CABLE TO THE HEBRALD.] Lonpon, Nov. 23, 1876, It is very evident that the Russian government tas insisted upon the publication of the Loftus- Derby correspondence at this time in order that the true attitude of Lord Beaconsfield at the Mansion House dinner should be clearly understood in England. After a few hours’ consideration of this remarkable publication it loses all its importance as regards the actual question of peace or war, and becomes interesting only as showing the cheap no- toriety which the Prime Minister hoped to make by bullying Russia after she had expressly disclaimed hany intention of attacking Constantinople. The sit- ‘uation will be very clearly understood if I cite a few dates. The communication made by the Czar to Lord Lottus bears the date of November 2. The at- titude of the Czar and the details of his solemn assurances to the English Minister to St. Petersburg were known in Downing street exactly one week before the annual entertainment of the Ministry at the Lord Mayor's table. In fact, Lord Derby had sent his congratulations to the Ambassa- dor and his thanks to the Czar several days before Fleet street trembled with the tread of the Lord Mayor's borrowed elephants and his painted Indians from St. Giles. THE LORD MAYOR APPLAUDS. Therefore, with that correspondence carefully pigeon-holed, Lord Beaconsfield felt very sure of his ground, and sat his champagne glass aside that he might the better amuse and delight the young men with the sharp-pointed pencils. The Lord Mayor's guests roused themselves and said:—“‘Now we shall hear Dizzy at his best.” They heard the speech, and drunk in the thrilling and patriotic words of his Peroration. They felt proud of him when ue rushed on to the conclusion in a hurricane of words:— We have nothing to gain by war. We are essentially a non-aggressive Power, There are no citics and no peypanes that we desire to appropriate. We have nilt.up an empire of which we are proud, and our proudest boast is this—that the empire subsists as much upon sympathy as upon force, But if a sirag- ple come, 1t should also be recollected that there is no tountry so prepared for war as England, because there Is no country whose resources are so great in a righte- dus cause—ior a cause that concerns her liberty or her independence or her cmpire. England is pot a country that will have to inquire whether she shal entcr into a second or a third campaign. She will be. gin fighting, and that will not end until right is done, ‘This was all very well across the strect from and under the shadow of the Royal Exchange, and the brokers and messenger boys were proud of their Premier the next morning when they read what the young men with the sharp-pointed pefitils had taken down. This speech was uttcred on the night of the 9th, THE CZAR DOES NOT APPLAUD. Strange to say, however, the speech did not read 80 well at Moscow. It did not seem funny: it did not sound patriotic. The Czar's mind naturally wandered back to the 2d inst., and he was rea- sonable enough to think that he had been made use of by Lord Loftus and his master. The Czar had no elephants handy nor painted Sepoys, but he extemporized a speech, nevertheless: He stepped to a balcony in Moscow, on the night of the 10th, and hurled back the defiance of Lora Beaconsfield. Then he quietly journeyed to St. Petersburg and prepared to expose the Premier's shallow game of bluf. He made another, his second, speech in answer to the Lord Mayor's dis- singuished guest on Monday. He gave—or forced she British Cabinet to give—the correspondence to the press and the world. The Czar, therefore, has the last word, and Lord Beaconsfield is yet to be heard from. I fear he finds himseif in a position very nearly as embarrassing as that of another statesman when the HERALD unearthed in Vienna smemorandum which he had sent to all the gov- ernments of Europe, asking their views in refer. ence to intervention in a colonial insurrection ex- isting near his owa dominions. But, then, Lord Beaconsficld had not denied the existence of the Czar’s communication. LONDON PRESS DISSATISFIED. Already the London press distrust the Premier. [hey have not compared dates yet, so they cast the imputation of bad faith upon the Czar. The Palt Malt Gazette and Evening Standard and other conservative Journals discredit the Czar’s good faith. Le Nord, the Rossian organ in Brussels, confirms the substantial acc@racy of the Russian programme published in the Vienna Political Correspondence. Le Nord adds that ‘this programme is not absolutely inflexible, particularly as regards occupation of Turkish territory. cust avout Me conrerexcr. | Before bis departare for Paris the Marquis of Salis. yury, in conference with the Duke Decazes, expressed voniidence in the sincerity of the Czar’s pacific decla- tations, and said he was going to Constantinople wiubno preconceived intentions, bat = with an ardent desire to preserve peace. He ‘was disposed to agree to all propositions tending to ameliorate the condition of the Christians tm Turkey, Edhem Pasha, the Turkish ambassador at Berlin, not Midhat Pasha as previously reported, has been appointed second plenipotentiary of Turkey at the Conference. RUSSIA FROZEN CP, BUT NOT INACTIVE, ‘The port of Riga is fall of floating ice, but the har- bor is not entirely closed for the geason. The Neva ts already seated up. The Czar im receiving various dis- | tinguished persons in St. Petersburg during the last few days Mas stated that he would still hope for the maintenance of peace, but considered Russia's honor and his own piedged to obtain the au- tonomy which he had demanded from the Porte, Lloyd’s agent at Kertch telegraphs that the torpedoes in that harbor are placed loose near the battery, and a gunboat has been stationed to conduct vessels through Kertch Straus.

SERVIA AND RUSSIA. M, Marinovicb, the Servian Minister of the Interior, has been entrusted by Prince Milan with a special mission to the Czar and will visit St. Petersburg asa confidential agent of the Prince. It is expected that M. Marinovicl will succeed in re-establishing cordial relations between Russia and Servia, and will also agree with the Czar about the conditions of Servia’s participation in war should the conference fail to bring Peace. THE NEW TURKISH CONSTITUTION. The Commission appointed to frame a now Tarkish constitution have concluded their labors and a draught of the document has been sent to the Grand Vizier.

MORE DISSENSION IN THR PRENCH SENATE. The Left recently introduced in the Chamber of Deputies an initerpeliation to the Ministry, asking why the military escort to which the funerals of all members of the Legion of Honor are legally en- titled has been refused in cases where the deceased have been buried without religious ceremo- nies, This question is becoming a very serious one, The Left refuse to compromise, and it is feareda ministerial crisis may ensue. THE PRESS UNDER EMPEROR WILLIAM. The German Reichstag, by a vote of 212 yeas to 105 nays, passed the clause of the Law Courts bill which transfers the trial ot press offences to juries The Pruasian and Saxon Ministers of Justice opposed the clause, which is also In opposition to the wisnes of the Federal Council.

Havaxa, Nov. 21, Via Key Wrst, Fla., Nov. 22, 1876. Nothing whatever is known about the plans of Gen- eral-in-Chief Martinez-Campos regarding the campaign.

Only Harvard and Yale colleges are out of the newly formed association, and their temporary absence is explained by the fact that they had previously arranged. fof a regatta between themselves during the coming summer.

ANOTHER ELECTION PROBABLE. Continuation of Precautionary Measures by the Army and Navy. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Wasurxaton, Nov, 22, 1878. ‘The prospect of trouble in Washingion should Gov- ernor Hayes be declared elected grows less from day to day with the growth of a popular sentiment that @ rectification by constituttonal and judicial process will right any wrong that may be done the defeated candidate and his supporters. The property owners, merchants and citizens of Washington deprocate turbulence, and have joined in a movement to prevent the proposed demo- cratic procession, or any other demonstration that might lead to a partisan conflict in the streets, This movement is undertaken only in view of a possible official announcoment that Mr. Hayes has received 185 votes, inclusive of ull of those of Florida and Louisiana. Should Mr. Tilden, meantime, have secured either of the disputed Btal the movement will bo abandoned, for there is no talx whatever of opposition to bis inauguration outside of conjecture as to what the Senate may do with tho returns irom Mississippi, a State which, according to Senator Boutwell’s report, is without a Tepublican form of government, But this latter troub- lous contingency is so remote that it excites no present apprehension, and Mr. Tilden’s friends will be at liberty to parade to their hearts’ content on the night of the 29th of November, should he meantime get the vote of cither Louisiuna or Florida; but should the re- sult remain still in doubt, it is quite likely that the democrats will be inductd to postpone their procession, especially as the situation of Mr. Tilden’s case would, to say the least, make tho ratification celebration a ridiculous demonstration, VIEWS OF A PARLIAMENTARIAN. In the course of conversation to-night a gentleman familiar with parliamentary matter sketched out the possible future as follows:—Proceeding on the hy- pothesis that Governor Hayes had received the votes of the remaining doubtfal States, and appeared before the Senate with 185 votcs, whatover truth there may be in the charges of corrupt and fraudulent manipulation of the returns of Louisiana and Florida, the President of the Senate would have to accept the certificates from those States. He could not go behind their face. He would have to take them as primd facie and bond fide evidence of the will of the people, because the returning or canvassing board in each State is the creation of the people, apd is infallible and can do no wrong. The President of the Senate must theroupon declare the candidate elected who has the majority of the votes. Should the House refuge to be present at the coremony its absence would not invalidate the election of President; indeed, it would be the wiser policy on the part of the Houso to be present and enter a protest; then Mr. Tilden, the doteated candidate, could be clocted by the House, and fortified with a certificate of such election, could go before the Supremo Court and ask a writ of quo war- ranioora mandamus. Thus the matter woald be brought before the highest tribunalin the land and a judgment elicited that would settle the dispute, At this stage of the conversation a suggestion was made that when the House attempted to go into an election for President, with a view to choosing Mr, Til- den, the republicacs could proceed to filibuster, and as there is no way by which tho filibustering can be pre- vented, the republicans could keep the House voting on dilatory motions until noon of the 4th of March, when the term of the Forty-fourth Congress would ex- rire; indeed, it remains to be seen whether with the filibustering power of the minority preserved in its present extent an election of President by the House could not at any and all times be prevented by the mi- nority. This is thosubstance of the conversation, which was a brief one, but suggested onough to make it proba- Die that, unless either Governor Hayes or Gov- ernor Tilden is on the face of the returns elected by @ majority of the votes, the repub- can’s minority im the House can prevent an election of President until the term of Congress expires, when the presiding officer of the Senate will besome Acting President, and continue so untilanother election is had by the people, under proclamation by tho Secretary of State. Hence it is not among the things impossible that the people may be called upon to hold the election all over again next year, PROTECTING THE PUBLIC BUILDINGS, Meantime the preparations for protecting the public property here go on, The man-of-war Wyoming, at the Navy Yard, which has been designated for the possible duty of covering the approach to Washington by way of the Anacosta Bridgo, is taking on her complement of powder and ammuyition to put her im condition for repelling any raid trom the Eastern Maryland side of the district, It 1s also reported at the Navy Yard that two light draught war vessels are on their way here, to take up position, one atthe Long Bridge and the other at the Chain Bridgo, over the Potomac. A draft of marines is ex, pected from Brooklyn to reinforce the command now atgthe barracks here. The force in the construction department of tho Navy Yard has beom increased, and a number of ship- Joiners were taken on to finish the repairs of the sloop- of-war Wyoming. A full crew for this vessel is to be drafted from tbe ships lying at the Naval Academy, and when put in commission she wil, remain at the yard, ostensibly as a practice ship Tho Wyoming is the vessel which the gailant Commo- dore Cushing commanded when he entored the harbor of Santiago de Caba and protested against the further butchery of the Virginius prisoners, caeeteerenichldicadenstatsia GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES, Wasuixatox, Nov. 22, 1876.
