Tux GRAND TURK.

After The Christians Of Mount Lebanon have
been either butchered or scattered In captivity or
aigit fom their nercess enemies, We are TOLD
that the French EmbasssdOr at Constantlnope
had been instructed to Iotify the Turkish Gov
eminent that, as the Turkish authorities were
not capable of protecting the Sutans subjects,
France would concert measures with the other
flowers 10 stop ht bloody scenes ichich 'ceTe beng
''.aaeted."!! And it is added that two British
and two French national vessels had been ordered
to Beirut in pursuance OF this notification, and
Tia, an Imperial Commissioner had been sent from
Constantinople to the scene Of the late hldeous
massac;es.
These proceedings are as farcical as their subject
is horrible. What will the Druse cut throass IN
their distant mountain Businesses care for the ships
Of war at Beirut What can the Imperial Commits
sorer do that will afford either indemnity for the
past or security for the future What is there In
ali this parade Of authority and menace calculated
to prevent a repetition of the massacres whenever
there shall again be any Christians to kill who have
an, thing to steal
TIE simple, vital truth is, that the Ottoman En-
pire is on anachronisin. In an age of Railroads,
Electric Telegraphs, and Steam Presses, it is as out
Of place as ghost walking at high noon. 1t
ought to have been permitted to die out as early,
q, least, as 1890 The mutual fears and jeaousies
of the Great Powers have kept up in it a mockery
Of life long after it should have been quietly III
urIed. Nothing but disaster and misery can result
from protracting this nightmare. The Turks

sight and hearing of civilization, within the next
three years.
Doubtless the question:" Who shall succeed
them in Euepe l"-is fraught with perpexities.
If Russia insists on the lions share OF the spoil,
Great Britain, France, and Austria must demur.
But might they not for once combine to act mag
unanimously Might they not expel the Turks
or, rather, Turkish sway-from Europe, Egypt,
Asia Minor, and call upon the remaining inhabitants
to establish such institutions, under the protection
of those Powers, as they should deem best adapted
to their needsl Would they not all gain thereby
in character and prestige more than they would
lots in material advantage Might not even
Russia say" The Turks being expelled, thepeople
"of Bulgaria. Seryis, Roumania, are mainly
Cheek Christians, and We may trust to their
"sympathies, aud their traditions :" Must not
all Christendom exult i'll seeing the Holy Land
once more portion of Christian State Must

rigible barbaIians who have for centuries
ravaged ard blasted the fairest portion of our
globe are at length sent back TO the savage wilds
whence their ancestors emerged ?" Surely, it is
high time.

IPsE Van Antwerp DIxIT.

When, last Jear, We heard of the ancient and re-
the State of Iowa, he was yOyagmg hther aud
thither in the good cutter Harriet Lane, baskng in
the smiles of beauty, eating with appetite undi
minished by age, the most delightful dinners, eDgag
ing in the mimic battles Of whist with the Com.
mander in Chief of the armies Of America, and, as
he caught inspiration from all about him. writing
those celebrated latters to The Ksokuk Daily Jour
nal-those rich records Of social elegance and re-
inement, which we introduced to our gratifed
readers, and to which We paid the humble tribute
Of our own admiration. After composing those
admirable epistles, Mr. Van Antwerp disappeared
from our Eastern circles of fashion, and became
the cynosure of Keokuk, carrying to its energetic
but unpublished population the invaluable expert
ences of man who had with frssrate gusto eaten
frstrate dinners in frst-rate houses with
frst.rate people; nor less the reputation of
one who, having encountered the Lieuten-
ant. General at whist, had unquestionably
more than once made thirteenth card in the very
teeth of that warrior, and snatched from him the
laurels of the odd But, bright as may have been
confess, did not reach New.YoIk To our aston.
ishment, we heard netting OF " p. Van Antwerp
We N ,urned for him; we pined for him; in all
our distractions, did we desderate him. When q
public dinner was announced, We said to ourselves
1T viii be yely nice; it will certainly bring him"
but alas the smell thereof did not reach Keokuk,
and he did not come. When the Democratic Ma
tional Convention was splitting and cracking and
sundeIing and hiyering, and threatening to bury
in its ruins so much piety and virtue, We remarked
inv ardly, "Wby do not the fools seud for Van
a. Antwerp, of Keokuk" But they did noti and
the lcud remained unhealed. When the nomina-
tions were made-"How, "ssidw to the crowds fire..
au, ling cur Office, "doyou think the veteran Van
:. Antwerp of Keokuk will go"-forwe thought We
saw the very pinch OF the game. Singular to say,
our most astute politicians in this city could not
give 0 respectable guess, although the thing was
debated, hight after night, in oil our political
clubs. To be left thus in the dark about matter
90 important, was very embarrassing. But all our
doubts are now resolved. Van Antwerp OF
KeoAuk has written another letter. He felt the
embarrassment Of our milhonnsss of voters. He
knew that the nation expected him to $50" either
one way or aao!Aer-and be has gone. he has

PROSPECTS IN TIKI SOUTH.

Abel man writes from Louisville to The Express,
that the vote of Kentucky for President is likely to
stand thus: Douglas 10000; Breckenridge $1,000;
Bell 10000. Perhaps SO: but as Fillmore had but
g., 4lO votes in the State, and as Archibald Dixon
and several other Wing fossils have gone over to
Breckenridge, We suspect that Bill will not gel 50
large portion of the total vote as is given him
above. As to between Breckenridge and Douglas,
We have no means of Judging, save by the leanings
Of the Democratic journals, which are least three
fourths for Breckenridge Then Douglas does not
seem to show any strength down in the old Linn
BOYD region, where the Democratic vote was al
ways heaviest 1t certainly looks now, however,
as though the Douglas men, seeing their own
chance in the State hopeless, would throw it to
Bell to Keep it from Breckenridge. 1t may look
different month hence; but to-day Bells chance
for the State seems the best.
In Tennessee, on the other hand, Douglas
seems to develop very little strength. The regular
Democratic organization is entiicly in the hands
Of the Breckinridge men. We believe nine tenths
Of the Democratic journals are out FOX BreokiR.
