ton of the sovereign rights of Turkey. and
the first question that follows Is this-"Who
was the original and respons ,ible author of
the imbroglO! How did it happen that an
American National vessel came so near sink
ing an Austrian brig in tile middle of a
Turkish harbor, where conflict must have
ensured the destruction of tb ousands of neu-
trail property, and hundre DIS of innocent
lives?"
On this vital point of in quiry Austria is
silent. She speaks, indeed, Of "a certain iu-
dividual, detained on board, ,phOse national
ity ,Oas contested by the gents of the two
Governments" But the contested Nation
ality was consequence of the original out
rage, not cause. Had Koszta been an
undisputed Austrian, the original crime and
outrage involved in his seizure on Turkish
soil by Austria. would have been as glaring
and inexcu abe as now. Tia seizure was
as inexcusably at war with International Law
as that of the Duke d'Eng gbein, which Austria
has wed with the rest of Christendom in stg-
matizing as abhorrent. Let it not be forgot
ten that If Austria had not FIRST utOlated
the right Of sovereignty and the La1US of
| Nations, she acoMld haoe had nothing to pro-
test against She planned and perpetrated
gross outrage, which has resulted in her

she'll. How are protests to help her out OF
the pit she has dug and fallen into?
i But American captains have no right to
make war, ''or to disturb the quiet and secu-
rity of neutral ports" Of course uot; and
if Turkey asks an apology from our Govern
ment for Capt. Ingraham's menaced cannon
ade in the harbor of Smyrna, we trust one
will be promptly rendered, and that it will
be frank and ample. No nation more than
ours should be ready and thorough in its
recognition of the rights of natioalty. But
let an Austrian cruizer fire broadside into
an American National vessel, or seize a boats
crew of her men, and does Austria suppose
that our captain would wait to send home a
report of the outrage and ask Congress to
declare war? We affectionately advise all
Austrian commanders not to be duped by
this Protest into supposing that such is the
Yankee process in such cases made and pro-
vided? Whoever falls into so melancholy a
delusion, will be wakened by the noise oi
something else than protocols, and hear a
new version of our National obligations read
to him by light which not even the dullest
vision could resist
The whole question. as between this coun-
try and Austria, turns on this point Was
the act of Captain Ingraham aggressive or
defensive? Did he commit an outrage. or
only resist one? On this question, we invoke
the judgment of the civilized world.

THE AUSTRIAN PROTEST.

w ought, perhaps, to acknowledge our
National obligation to the Austrian Court
for having enlightened Europe Diplomatic
and Popular, to this effect--namely
!. That the United States profess to be
governed by the international Law of the
civilized world:
2. That under this Public Law the quiet
and security of neutral ports are rightfully
inviolable by the acts of belligerants:
8. That captains of American armed YES
sells are not entrusted with the power of
making war-that high prerogative being re-
served to Congress by our Constitution:
4. That threatening to sink an Austrian
National brig in neutral port, Cor anywhere
else) and preparing to do it, is not a civil.
courteous and amiable procedure, but virtu-
ally an act Of hostility.
All these points, we readily concede, are
made out, well fortified by unexceptonable
authorities, aud placed beyond dispute.
There can be DO need of further argument in
their favor. Nay, more: If it be the object
Of Austria to prove that the Sovereignty of
Turkey has been grossly outraged in the late
proceedings at Smyrna, we consider that DO
sition made out to the letter.
The logic is compact, the citations appo-
site, and the conclusions irresistible.
But you may always distinguish a bad
cause from good one by noting the point
Of departure of the skllful advocate. He
whose cause is just, begins at the beginning ;
but il his cause be intrinsically bad, he is
sure to begin in the middle. Admit that the
whole affair ct Smyrna was in gross viola

DR.. FRANKLIN's ToAsT-Long after Wash
ington's victories over the French and Eng
lish had made his name familiar to all Eu-
rope, DR.. Franklin had CHANGED to dine, with
the English and French Ambassadors when,
as near as we can recollect, the following
toasts were drunk -
By the English Ambassador:
England--the Sun, whose bright beams
enlighten and fructify the remotest corners of
the EARTH.
The French Ambassador, glowing with ma
tional pride, but too polite to dispute the pre-
vious toast, drsnk:
France-The Moon, whose mild, steady
and cheering rays are the delight of all ma
tions. controlling them in their darkness, and
making their darkness beautiful"
Dr. Franklin then rose, and with his usual
dignity and simplicity said:
George Washington-The Joshua, who
commanded the Sun and Moon to stand still.
and they obeyed him."

WAsH1NaroN's WrA1rH-TAe Mount Per

WAsHINGroN's WEA1rH-Ine Mount Per-
non Estate. The following extract is taken
from an old book published by Russell &
West, Boston, in the year 1900. entitled
" Washington's Political Legaces," and de-
dicated by the editors to Mrs Martha Wash
ington:
"George Washington was at one time pro-
badly one of the greatest land-holders in the
United States. His annual receipt from his
estates amounted in 1866 to four thousand
pounds sterling. His property, at the same
period, was estimated to be worth one hun
dred and sixty thousand pounds sterling,
which is very large sum in federal money,
and was considered a very great fortune at
that early day in this country for any one
man to possess.
HIS estate at Mount Vernon alone was COM
puted in 1887 to consist of nine thousand
acres of land, of which enough was in Guilt
walton to produce, in single year. ten thou
sand bushels of corn and seven thousand
bushels Of wheat. In a succeeding year he
raised two hundred lambs, sowed twenty Sc
ven bushels of flax-seed and planted seven
hundred bushels of potatoes He desisted. il
is said from planting tobacco which was ex-
tensively raised in Virginia. for the purpose
of setting an example, by employing his ex-
tensiVe means in the introduction and foster
ing of such articles of domestic use and ne
cessity as would ultimately tend to the best
advantage of his country. His domestics, at
the same time were industriously employed
in manufacturing woollen cloth and linen in
sufficient quantities to clothe his numerous
household, which numbered nearly one thou
sand persons"

TIE LAST NoTIoN.-Ncw York is fast get
ting ahead of Boston in the way of unheard
of notions. The latest instance appears in a
case of new hats On exhibition at the Crystal
Palace. In the lining of each beaver there is
place admirably fitted for the daguereotye
OF the wearer!
However, there is something in the notion.
after all. There will be less chance for the
abstraction, conscious and unconscious, of
another's property. At the close of festi-
val. whoever is in a condition to recognise
himself, can cas- ly pick out his own hat from
hall full of them. The palmer he is in fea-
tures-that is the more marked his physiog-
nOmy-the easier will the task be. But may
not the danger of theft be simply changed
from the masculine to the fair sex? What
young man of fascinating phiz will care to
leave his hat unguarded? No, he will always
take it into the parlor with him; and when
disconnected by the presence of beauty and
grace, he will screw up his courage by look
ing into its pictured crown. Should he
become hopeful, and desire to present the
lady with the semblance of that which he is
sure must be so pleasing to her, he will ex-
claim with touching politeness.-''Lovely

THE LIBERATION OF KOSzTA.-In letter
from Malta, dated August 2, and published
in an Englis paper, we find the following
graphic and Interesting description of the
liberation of Koszta the Hungarian patriot
at Smyrna:
"When Capt. Ingraham, Of the United
States corvette st. Louis. went on board the
Austrian brig to demand Koszta, the first
lieutenant declared that he was not on board,
or the captain; but on his going to the Aus
trian consul it was found that they were both
on board, the lieutenant having told false
hood. When the American anchored close
to the Austrian brig to force them to give up
Kosta, there were three Austrian steamers
each with six guns, and schooner of ten
guns commanded by an Englishman, which
kept sailing round the American in beautiful
style, and had force been resorted to it must
have been desperate fight. The Americans
would no doubt have CONQUERED, but they haq
fearful odds against them. They lay so close
to the Austrian that the Americans could see
the grateful expression in Kostas eyes when
he came on deck to be given up He was
manacled, but looked firm, and was landed
in the Austrian boat closely followed, to
watch proceedings and see that there was
no shuffling, by the American boats and
crew, who never lost ight of him till he was
safely delivered to the French consul. At
least 10000 people were at the landing place
at Smyrna on his landing. On being handed
to the French consul, the latter insisted on
his manacles being taken of before he re-
ceived him. This occasioned some detention.
the key being on board the Austrian; but it
was obtained, and Kosta delivered free.
Great enthusiasm prevailed at Smyrna. Dep
utations from all the most influential houses
waited upon Captain lngraham."

TIRE NICARAGUAN MINISTER.

In our dispatch from Washington on MONDAY,
communicating Mr.. Eyeretts letter dismissing
Senior Marcoleta, several of the causes pu blicly
alleged as having produced the measure were
reported. though our correspondent prudently
confined himself 10 giving the reports without
endorsing their correctness. One of these al.
legged causes, and il is the one circulated with
perhaps the greatest industry here and at Wash
ngton, We are able to pronounce wholly ineor.
rect. We refer TO the statement that Mr.
Everett was aggrieved by the publication Of his
letter 70 Senior Marcoleta, announcing his ac.
cession TO the Office of Secretary of State. and
bis recognition of Senior NJ. as Nicaraguap En-.
vOy. In fact, Mr. Everett himself expressly
authorized that publication, BY saying that he
had NO objection thereto.
We now propose, in justice TO both Mr.
Everett and Senior Msrcelota, and by wsy of
illustrating the disastrous management Of the
State Department under the late Secretary 70
state briefly the exact history of the difficulty
which has had this unpleasant result.

Webster. in looking sbout for an agent 70
90 with him. could find no one more suit
able than Mr. Robert NJ. Walsh, who had
won such laurels Of discredit by his bully
ing. clustering course in Hayti. When
these two diplomstists arrived in Niearasus'
Mr.. wyck appreciated the state OF pub
lie feeling. and Ike q sensible man retfained
from very zealOusly urging the ratification;
but Mr.. Walsh went into it Ike Ajax into bat
tie. WHY, will il be believed that he
had the presumption to threaten Nicaragua
with a declaration Of war from the United
States if the treaty were not accepted An
vet such was the case. Ii is 20 the credit OF
the Nicaraguan Government that they were
content with simply rejecting the project
without giving this impudent big boy spank
ing and sending him home.
OF course while thus approving Mr.. Marco
leta's conduct in respect 10 the treaty, his
Government could not accede to the demand
for his recall when his only offtnse was that
very conduct They accordingly declined to re-
call him. Mr.. Everett doubtless felt that eti-
qustte and official propriety required him to
persist in that demand without regard to the
fact that it could not have arisen had he been
at the head of the Department. For We do
him the Justice 50 believe that he could never
have been brought TO negotiate such treaty as
still rejected BY Nicaragua, and that he could
that less have attempted to browbea' therepre-
sentatives Of small though important State
out of a faithful and honest defense of her iu-
terests. We cen only wish that while revising
and retracting other unfortunate acts Of his
predecessor he had also thought proper to re-
consider and withdraw the dem nd for Mr..
Marcoletas recall. He has decided otherwise,
and the Nicaraguan Minister has fallen vic.
tim to fidelity to his duty. But we are per-
suaded that the native good sense and love
of fair play of the American public will do him
Justice against the wrong inflicted by the Ad-
ministration. We hope that Congress by call.
inc for all the correspondence and documents
in the case, will bring the facts we have here sta
ted so distinctly and officially to the cogni-
zance of the people that it will be impossible
to deny or ignore them But we hope above
all that the erroneous and fatal policy We have
pursued in Central America may now give
place TO better system,
