Three Days Later from Europe.

The steamship Arabia, from Liverpool the 2lth ult
arrived at New York on Thursday morning, bringing
three days later European news The aspect of the
Turkish difficulty more threatening, and the gen.
eral impression at Constantnople is that the Sultan
will make no concession either to Russia or to the
combined peace-makng powers. Austria has fairly
backed out of the coalition of powers, and is disposed
to side with Russia. The Turks are in the highest
pitch of naticsm, and call upon the Sultan to
declare war, or abdicate his throne.
A bitter feeling is exercised by the Musselmen a
ganst England and it is said that another difficulty
has arisen between the English and French Ministers,
the latter insisting that the English fleet should be
moved to Constantnople, and the former objccting.
The English and French Governments have sent dis
patches the Sultan urging him to accept the Wen
note, pure and simple.
There is no news of importance from England.
At Newcastle the deaths from cholera averaged 10
per day Other places report from one to thirty deaths
daily. Steps have been taken Sheffield to raise

Mr.. MaroY,s Reply to Austria.

This reply is strong, clear, and unequivocal. II
denies the claim of Austria, and makes that claim APP
pear SO unworthy and contemplate that the Gar him
self would be ashamed of it, if his policy allowed
him to be ashamed of anything. The document
shows great ability, and will establish Mr.. Marcys
reputation dplomatist.
The Austrian communication, to which it is a re-
sponse urged the following points, viz:that Koszta
had never ceased to be an Austrian subject that the
Austrian Consul had a right to seize him in Smyrna
that Capt. Ingraham guilty of declaring a.
gainst Austria that he violated the rights of
trail port and finally that the government Of the u
nited States must dsavow the conduct of its agents
the Kosza affair, "ca them to a severe account and
tender to Austria satisfaction proportionate to the
magnitude of the outrage"
Mr.. Marcy says in reply that our government
entirely approves of the conduct of its agents in this
affair that Ausrias claim TO right to arrest rei-
gees in Turkey decided against her in the case
of Kossuh and his companions that Koszta had
since taken measures to become American citizen !;
that the municipal law of Austria concerning citizen
ship cannot be considered international law; that
he was in Smyrna under the protection Of the Amer
lean consulate which according TO the laws and
ges of the East, recognized by international law,
would have entitled him to American protection with
out any other claim that the Austrian agents gross
" violated the law of nations, and became ''wrong-
doors" in sezing Koszta and in word, that the
United States would not comply with the demands of
Austria, but requires that Kosza be restored to the
condition he enjoyed before he seized in the streets
of Smyrna.
With the coolest and most brazen impertincnce
the Austrian communication charges the United States
with having violated the neutral soil of Turkey, and
seeks bring government to repentance therefor
To this Mr. Marcy replies, that the Sultan makes NJ
such complaint against us, and our Government does
not recognize the right of Austria to make it. Ii
discussing the question of allegiance and the right
man to transfer his relations of citizenship from
nation to another Mr.. Marcy puts forth this doctrine
for the consideration of the despots -
'When the Sovereign power, wheresoever it ma
be placed does not the ends for which it is be
stowed-when it is not exerted for the general wei
fare of the people, has become oppressive to ind
viduals--this right to withdraw rests on as firm ba
Sis and is similar in principle to the right which le
gitimatizes resistance to tyranny"
We hope the Gar will study that doctrine until h
e feels edifed.-C Commonwealth.

SPIRIT OF THE SouTH.-Ihe Michigan Free Dem
oc,a says: g A gentleman from New Orleans, ma
tive of the South, who in sanctum few min
utes since, remarked that they who had always lived
in the midst of slavery know its evils better than any
Northern could tell them. They hated slavery
while the force of circumstances held them to it,
But there was one thing they despised more than
slavery, and that was silly, lying apology for it by
Northern man, who had excuse for his mendac-
ity. When Northern men, bred in the love of Free
dom, and the perpetual assertion of it, attempt to SUI
gar over slavery, they know they lie; and Southern
men know they deliberately and wilfully lying
too.

Labor and the Money Power.

And who adequately describe the triumphs of
labor, urged by the potent spell of money! 1t has
extorted the of the universe, and trained its
powers into myriads of forms of use and beauty
From the bosom of the old creation, it has developed
anew, the creation of industry and art. 1t has been
its glory to overcome obstacles. Mountains have been
eveled and valleys exalted before it. 1t has broken
the rocky soil into fertile glade it has crowned the
htops with fruits and verdure, and bound around the
feet of ocean, ridges of golden coru. Up from the
sunless and hOary deeps, up from the shapeless
quarry, it drags its spotess MARBLE and its
places of pomp. 1t tears the stubborn metals from the
bowels of the globe and makes them duce to its will
1t marches steadily on over the swelling flood and
through the mountain cles. 1t fans its way through
the winds of ocean, tramples its hoarse surges and
mngles with the fakes of fire. Civilization follows
in its path 1t achieves greater Victories it weaves
more durable trophies, it holds wider sway than the
conquerer His name becomes tainted, and his mon
uments crumble but labor converts his red battle
fields into gardens and erects monuments significant
of better things. 1t rides in chariot driven by the
wind 1t writes with lightning 1t sits crowned as
queen in a thousand cities, and sends up its
of triumph from million of wheels. 1t glistens in
the fabric Of the loom, it rings and sparkles from the
steely hammer, it gores in the shape of beauty, it
speaks words of power, it makes the sinewy
strong with liberty, the poor mans heart rich with
content, ana cro"hS the s"dty anu s"eay brow WIN
honor, and dignity, aud peace This, then, is one
glorious result from money power. 1t has projected
these great achievements of free labor and industrial
enterprise which have beautifed the EARTH revealed
and applied new forces, opened new departments of
activity, meorated the condition and elevated the
nature Of man.
But this is by means the highest good it has
wrought has been the chief occasion of the splendid
revelation in the last two centuries which have effect
ed the progress of humanity. Ii has been almost the
only power strong enough cope with and overcome
feudal despotism. do not call it the great principle
of these movements, but it the medium through
which great principles acted-it made an issue for
great principles,-ReD E. H. Chaplin.

from the church, and the application to the source
for additional loan of SIT 900 900, has been met
with plea of absolute inability to furnish it. Rob

become frequent that the military law has taken the
