that they have failed, and we would ask wbyf
A far az our information on this point ex-
tends-and we know il to be correct-the
fault lies with the South American republics.
Relying on the sympathies and anti-European
prejudices of all America, from the great lakes
to Cape Horn, they hope and expect to make
this Spanish war drag on indefinitely. In
their blind and fanatical hatred Of Spain.
whose blood ia in their veins, whose language
they speak and whose religion and literature
they cherish, they expect us to join them. Do
they imagine that 1t is our interest to foster awar
which might have been terminated honorably
months ago but for their own passion and cha
raoteristic Quixotismt Our interest Ia to have
peace all around us. We are keener after trade
than . quarrel. If need be we can fight for
ourselves and for our friends, and as far -
republication on this continent is concerned
the South American republics may rest satisfied
that they are under our protection. No Euro
pean Power can encroach upon their .estab-
lished institutions. But we protect them for
the purpose Of promoting peace, industry and
thrift for the interest and welfare Of their peo-
pie and eur ewn. The sxaznple we set eur
Spanish-American neighbers ia this respect i
followed very slowly, II at oil. II they under
stood us and our ideas as thoroughly as wc UNI
derstand them. they would get along in tho
world much better and give less cause for me-
diation. The war with Spain was needless. A
compromise was offered by her government
which, under all the circumstances, should have
been accepted; for the republics have not been
blameless, while Spain has had to suffer during
a long series Of years many indignities and out
RACES in the persons and property of her sub
jects resident in those countries. She had
much graver cause Of complaint than they, and
yet she was the first to propose compromise,
which was scornfully and absurdly rejected.
This is the story in a nutshell. And we desire
all South America to understand that while we
will protect them we wish well to Spain and
shall not be made party to her unjust humili-
alton.

The cloud which has long been gathering
over the affairs Of Eastern Europe and which
for some time past has looked p0rtentous
enough, seems at last about to burst. The
difficulty assumes larger and larger proper
tons. The real question at issue, it is now no
longer doubtful, is not what for a time it
seemed to be-whether Greeks should content
themselves to be ruled by Turks but whether
any of the Christian populations on the Euro
pesn side Of the Straits shall longer bowssha
knse to o Mea1bn Power.

nnnications fnsa ANaxasty Of un4aestioBAhiy

that the lnsl settlement Of the qaestiso ~
arms or otherwise cannot be long delayed.
The Cretans SIN msintain their ground and
continue to receive from their Grecian kinsmen
hearty encouragement and substantial aid. A
new Crete, much to the annoyance Of the
Porte, has sprung up in Thessaly. Servfa,
since the evacuation Of her fortresses by tho
Turks, rejoices in complete autonomy, and
finds herself placed in position Of equal inde-
pendence with Roumania. Bulgaria is bestir-
ring herself as she sees no reason why she
should differ from her more fortunate neigh.
bors Excitement prevails in Montenegro and
Herzegovina; and evidence is not wanting
to show that some Of the other provinces are
ripe for revolt Disafection, in fact is general
among the Christian subjects Of the Sultan;
and it is extremely difficult to see how his
authority on the western shores Of the Bos-
phorus is longer to be preserved.
Even if the Sultan and his subjects were Left
to battle it out alone the prospects Of the con-
tinuance Of Turkish domination In Europe arc
gloomy enough But as the struggle deepens
in interest the neighboring Powers are becom-
ing more than mere onlookers. Sympathy ID
daily becoming more and more active. Tho
subjects of King George 80 openly encourage
the insurrection, both in Crete and Thessaly,
that war between Turkey and Greece seems
now inevitable. Russian sympathy with her

concerned it has long been manifest that Prus-
STA and Russia are in happy accord. Neither.
we may rest assured, will precipitate war, but
il war does take place they are certain to be
found on the same side. What course France
and England may take is yet uncertain.
Austria for the present Is left out in the cold.
Italy, 1t may be taken for granted, will follow
France. Much will depend upon the response
which the protecting Powers make to the note
Of the Sultan. Something may yet be done by
diplomacy; but If war be declared against

TIE CASE OF JvDos sUrH, OF ONEIDA The
Senate yesterday, by vote Of 20 to 3, re-
moved George W. Smith from the office st
County Judge in Oneida county, having pre-
viously found him guilty Of portion Of tho
charges brought against him. II was strict
party vote, all the republicans recording them
selves In the affirmative and the three demo-
Gratis present in the negative. The prosecution
was, no doubt, dictated by political luminosity,
but enough was established to prove that the
impeached Judge was unit to occupy posi-
ton on the bench.

bility of recovery, and even Memphis, it is an
ticipated, will return Q radical representative
to Congress But if the negroes hold the bal
ance Of power in Tennessee, and ell, under the
manipulations OF Parson Brownlow, vote the
radical ticket why should not the leaders of
public opinion in States where the negro ele-
ment is still, larger and more potentially effec-
tive than in Tennessee borrow hint from the
Parsons tactcss Were they really to accept
the situation" and, leaving their political alb
stractions in the limbo to which the fiat of war
has consigned them, adopt the constitutional
amendment and give the negroes the suffrage,
what would hinder them from making the latter
the allies of the party opposed to Northern
radicalisms Securing thus the control Of the
Southern States, why might they not gain the
future balance Of power in Congress! Why
not thus 'pluck from the nettle danger the
flower Of SAFETY" As things now stand it
seems that the negroes must have the suffrage,
full or partial, and that the party of the future
controlling the negro element will control the
balance of power in every Southern State.
Shall the Southern politician appropriate and
WELD thus element or permit it to fall into the
hands ofhis enemies aThat is the question"

It will be gratifying to those who have been
anxoaslyN eHdeavoring to discover the where

that he has at last defined his position on the
momer'ous question of reconstruction. In .
speech delivered in the House Of Represents
lives. on Thursday last he fully sets forth bis
views on this engrossing subject and in man
nersswhch cannot fail TO be satisfactory 70 Ill
sides He stated that he had concurred in the
Presidents policy Of reconstruction and still
believed it to have been the best remedy for
the troubles of the body polite. and that he
fully endorsed and approved the reconstruc-
ton policy Of Congress as the wisest basis Of
adjustment of which the question was suscep-
tible. He held that the present State govern
mcnts, initiated by the Executive in the
ex-rebel States, are existing de facto govern
mcnts, and absolutely necessary for the pro-
lection Of society, and believed Of The same

thought that IL the constitution were binding
on Congress il could not enact Mr. Stevens
reconstruction bill into q law, and that if it
was not binding on Congress, as some persons
thought, Ii could Judge Conkling, OF New
York, had held that Congress nigh. act with
out reference to the constitution, and the
Supreme Court had declared the constitution
must be the supreme law for Congress and the
whole people. He was not, for himself; pre-
pared to 60 fully with Judge Conkling, and ne
thought that the opinion Of the Supreme Court
was stronger than the case warranted. He
was reluctant to tsmper with the constitution,
and thought IT might be stretched 80 as to
authorize q little more consolidation OF the
govcrnment, So far an The measures proposed
In Congress we're concerned he was prepared

The Great Social Evil In New York.

We learn from Albany that several of the
members of the Legislature, and particularly
Messrs. Blauvelt and Jacobs. are active in
gathering statistics upon the great social evil
of prostitution in New York, with view Of
presenting bill or bills for abating the evil.
The police of the city have been employed to
collect information on the subject. They have
already made report, though it is yet incom-
pete but, as far as it goes, 1t represents state
Of things calculated to shock the respectable
portion Of the community. The increase of
prostitution within . very short time-even
within year or SOS alarming. The number
of abandoned women and their habimtions and
places of resort have doubled in this period
We mention the matter with great reluctance !;
but our duty to the public requires us to state
the fact and the causes. The numerous concert
saloons, most Of which ere on Broadway and
the other public and fashionable streets of the
city, have contributed greatly to this appalling
state Of things. Thew arc the vcstibules OF
VIGOROUSLY bad houses The theatres. how
ever, are the chief source Of the evil. The de-
morslizing influence Of such representations as
that of the Black Crook fills the houses of pros
titutior and has alarmingly increased them.
The concert saloon keepers complain that their
business has been damaged since such per-
formances have been going on; for their Gus
toners and the strangers they used to pick up
go to them, and from them directly to places
OF ill-fame instead. There is really rivalry
between the concert saloons and the theatres
in indecent and corrupting scenes for the sake
Of making money, and the brothels profit by
ii. This is the fearful spectacle which our
respectable citizens have to contemplate. But
ii may be asked where is the remedy Laws
can hardly reach the evil, and u they be framed
for that purpose they are e7aded. Tbs remedy
lies With the people themselves. Instead O. o.
patronizins such corrupting spectacles as we
have referred to they ought to frown them
down. 1t is evident we shall 30 on from bad to
worse, and prostitution will be increased still
more If the respectable portion Of the CON-
munity do not take the matter up and proclaim
unAluching war against the Black Crook, con-
cert saloons and all similar representations and
nl0cps

National cAarit,-A.d for tn. Greeks.


Last night there was a charitable appeal on
large scale in behalf Of the destitute of the
Southern States. There ia no doubt of the
need Of kindly sympathy and generous aid for
this afflicted portion of our fellow countrymen.
They have their bad advisers to blame for the
restitution and misery into which they lave
cast themselves; but they are still our country
men, whom we want back as soon as possible
into the protecting folds of that Union for
which we have shed so much of Northern blood
and spent 80 much Of the national treasure.
Let us feed and clothe them, and, through the
channels of common lineage and a common
blood, bring them to an appreciation Of our
brotherhood.
In no way conflicting with this good
object, although following 80 Immediately
upon it, is the public meeting at the
Cooper Institute tonight The Greek people
of Canda-about two hundred thousand
souls-now in the midst Of a struggle for their
very lives and sacred liberties Christians
striving against Turkish barbarity-appeal
TO us as their countrymen appealed
forty years ago-not for material aid,
to fight their battles, not for political sup
port, not for assistance complicating our peo-
pie with their enemies or our government with
Turkey, but for food and clothing for the
women and children Of the impoverished Gre
tans-women who have been subjected to the
most atrocious barbarities and from whom al
means OF bodily noarishment have been re-
moved by the destruction Of the vineyards, the
wheat fields and tho cattle. upon which they
depended for subsistence. Those Greeks have
declared that if every other hope fail them to
this country they can turn and 1t will not fail
them. The sympathy already expressed by
leading men among US guarantees that we shall
not withhold the hand that If extended will
quench these thirsty lips and feed these empty
stomachs and inspire with hope the hearts Of
this noble race. They are q noble race. The
crushing influence Of centuries Of Mohsmmedan
despotism has degraded and impoverished them;
but the record Of the past few months attests the
fact that the old Greek blood is in their veins
and will not stagnate. Never in the history Of
warfare have nobler instances Of endurance
and Of selfsacrfce been shown than have
been recorded as occurring in the Island of
Crete within the past few months. These peo-
pie, who love our republic, our institutions and
our laws better than they love anything out
of their own geographical limits, look to us
with the utmost faith in our ability and our
will to assist them. A glance at the names Of
the vice presidents and secretaries who will
preside will suffice to show the character Of
the endorsement which New York gives to the
cause OF Christian charity wherever and when
ever il il presented.
