THE CASE OF KosrA.

Is MARTIN KosrA entitled to American protection
This serious question. involves principles it es-
tablishes precedent Reason and right decide il
passion prejudice have no voice in the matter 1t
would be better were there less defamation about Aus
TRAN despotism and closer into the actual
character and bearing Of the American citizenship
is thing of some honor and worth and in proportion to
its honor and worth ought to be the Jealousy with which
its genuneness is secured II KosrA in readily entitled
to the protection Of the American flag he must have
every cost II he is not entitled to it, we cannot give 1t
without breach Of international faith and of the clear
est obligations.
The real question involved is that Of intention Now
there is no proof that KosTA had any intention of return
ing to the United States His declaration at the time of
his arrest that he was Hungarian would live and die
Hungarian, showed any thing but purpose to perma-
nenty transfer his allegiance to this country tdeyoyes
upon him or his friends to show that such was his design
before he can put in even that doubtful unadjudicatsd
claim to protection which is all that can be made by
foreigner who has filed his intention and yet has not be-
naturalizcd by taking the oath Of allegiance We
do not know what testimony regard to this intention
may have induced Mr. BROWN at Constantinope to give
him his passport. Perhaps sufficient, perhaps INSULT
Gent Without the testimony itself in no condi-
ton to Judge But thing is certain: If Mr. BRowH
gave the passport with evidence, with insufficient
evidence, he committed If Kosta had claim
to it by law he did deserve the Of human

permit Kosa and his associates to
to this country only the express condition that
they should return to the Ottoman domnons This
condition accepted; the Hungarians ayaied them
selves of it, and Kostas return to Smyrna any pretext

thing but favor We not Of those who believe that
revolutonsts are exempt from moral obligation.
But there those who attempt to argue that al
lowing that Kosta had claim American his
rest by Austria in the neutral city of Smyrna out
rage upon the natural rights Of Turkey which justified
interference This plea needs not to be considered
until there is to believe that Turkey herself
feels aggeved SO far the Government at CONSTANT
nope has taken part in the matter it has sanctioned the
arrest This it did by dsmissng from his post the Gov
of Smyrna by whom it had been actively opposed
The Porte himself perhaps had better be consulted before
