THE CALIFORNIA TRApE--For some time past
the condition OF trade between the Atlantic and
Pacific cities has been alarming. Cargoes have
been forced upon California, the market has been
glutted, the Eastern houses waiting for returns
have failed to meet their engagements or been
seriously crippled and all the time, while these
things were very we'll known, both here and in
California, the rage for speculation has been
kept up. Slips have been built, freighted, and
arrived, when the consignees knew not what to
do with the goods they brought. The mania
has now received very severe check; and the
ship Bald Eagle is Oh her way back with some
of the consignments, as will be seen by the an

APPROX thing hostilities with France obliged
AieS' ..nder to make peace with Turkey in 1872;
aDTi the river rruth was then agreed upon as
the boundaries of the empires But the retreat
of Moscow soon set the Cars hands Free Dis
content was fermented in Greece, and it threw
off the Turkish yoke: rebellion was provoked
in Moldavia and Wallacha and they rose in
arms against the Sultan. Massacres of the
Greek patriots and other Greek Christians in
Turkey excited general hatred of the Turks
throughout Europe; and Russia prevailed upon
England and France to Join her against the
Sultan. The battle Of Navarino was the result,
\ and the Turkish navy was utterly crushed. The
defeat seemed TO have given new heart to the
/ Turks, but success still remained with the Rus
slams. The fall Of Adrianople terminated the
war, and Turkey was weaker than ever In
her distress she was compelled to call upon
Russia, thYee years afterwards, TO protect her
asains. her old province, Egypt.
Such is the history of the struggles that have
taken place between Russia and Turkey. For
one century, from the middle Of the fourteenth
to the middle OF the fifteenth, the contest was
between invading Moslems and Christians de-
lending their homes; for another, from the mid
die Of the eighteenth to the present day, the
battle has been between Russians seeking to re-
gain their fatherland, and Turks defending their
usurpatons. The one are in the flower of their
youth full of vigor, energy, and religious zeal;
the other arc sunk in old ago, helpless ignorance,
and abject decreptude.
England and France have espoused the cause
Of Turkey. Not from any wish to protect the
weak the article in the Times and the cores
notion; but because each of the Western Powers
is opposed to seeing the Russians at CONSTANT
nople. They hope to take it themselves. What
is this treaty with the Sultan for the protection
of his Christian subjects, but virtual abdca-
ton of his empire into the hands of Great Britain
had at least the right conferred by old and I'M

they are not destined to share the fate of other
despoilers Of other mems property, and to quar-
rel with each other.

The SPIRIT RAPPING CHARI.ATANs.--We have
recently received a number of communications
purporting to set forth important matters
which have been revealed during visits to Miss
Fox and other spiritual rapping media" We
have no room for such miserable trash, and it
is time to have an end to this the most eyre
gious charlatanism Of the age; and all those
persons who go about the country giving lee
lures and descriptions Of the rappings are nei-
ther more nor less than impostors and swind-
lers-they should be arrested by the police, and
punished for obtaining money under false pre-
fences.
Decisions of the same character as those
above mentioned have existed in all ages and
IN all nations, under various names, such as
magic, the black art, astrology, mesmerism
aud SO forth. These subjects will do well
enough for discussion in abolition conventions
or sssemblages of the advocates Of the woman's
rights doctrines. But now that we are enter
ing upon most important ere in public affairs,
both al home and abroad-now that we are called
upon to give our decision upon matters calling
for serious eonsideration--we should lay aside
all this and other similar humbugs, and prepare
to take up a position in accordance with the
dictates of national dignity and national honor
