lave accordingly done their utmost to bring the
very evil they are afraid Of II there be general

Russia of France and England. They might have
prevented /. iofaibly, but they did not.
As matters now stand. we incline to follow wish

Car, and peace is bis interest The prestige OF his
diplomacy aud the renown Of his arms can be main
tanned in peace much more easily and safely than in
war The naval success Of Nachmod enables him to
cease lighting with than equal share Of victory
on bis side general breaking up of Europe has its
possibility Of loss ard of destruction for him as
well as for Turkey, while if he triumph, it must
be at far heavier cost than that Of his recent vast &C.
ouisitiops OF power and influence. The bullying system
is much less expensive than actual warfare, We see
illustrated in the small army under Gorchakof There is
then considerable chance that some Of the schemes

the winter, may be fixed on. Then the work of

confined to the slower but processes OF diplomacy
and intrigue, animated by INSCRIPTIONS arrogance on
one side and aided by weakness aud pusillanimity on
the other In view of such possibility, it is impossible
not to agree with Mr. Douglas when he assigns to
to Russia the attributes Of the future aud TO
Western Europe those of the past There is
an energy aud vsor in that despOtic government
and that barbaIous race which we seek in vain among
the monarches of the older states. But II ws look
little deeper into the cause of this relative weakness
we find it full of encouragement Western Europe is
feeble and tiud because her governments feel that
they are outgrown aud no longer believed in
BY their people The nations are beyond their
rulers aud trust in them no more. 1t is not that
they are really imbecile but that there is new
wine working in the old bottles With wor-
thier and more equal social state, with the abolition Of
caste and privilege with free political constitutions
unettered industry, and emancpated thought the peo
pie of the West wl,l rise again to power aud unity OF
purpose, while tie Russian COLOSSUS Itself will be
shattered by the progress of the masses and the expo
sive force of ideas. There is good reason to fear
the conquest of Europe by the Cossacks The very
divisions and apparent weakness which would seem to
render such an event easy, the sure pledge OF its
impossibility

THE BROADWAY RAILROAD PLOT.

Today the fate of the last Broadway Railroad scheme
is TO be determined. The question comes before the
Board of Assistant Aldermen this afternoon, where
there is very little probability Of its defeat and to-
morrow it passes through the Board of Aldermen,
where of course there is no hope of anything right or
honorable We are told, too of a secret compromise
which goes to secure the assent of the Mayor the
outrage the terms involving stipulation the part
of the grantees that their first operations shall be pure
" experimental; that the rails shall only be laid down
in the horoughfare fer year or two and in case of
dissatisfaction the street shall be restored 10 It's print
tive condition 1t seems however that under the law
from which the Company derives its corporate exist
ence such stipulation is nuIlity and is intended to
be nothing more.
Before the business is perpetraed, it may he worth
while to measure the full extent Of its enormiy. The
present grant is in all important points the old one
which the people, wrought to enthusiasm by the
necessity for reform, did their best to kill June
ard November :, revived with multitude of features
enhancing It's monstrosity. Il is essentially tie same
grant which the Superior Court has twice epjoined,
only is now augmented and enlarged to the utmost
