WHAT WILL THE SULTAN DO.

The "sick mans" troubles seem to be il.
creasing. With all his might now put forth
to subdue rebellious Crete, he has not yet
succeeded, and even should no other
Power come to the aid Of the Cretans, the
world may consider it doubtful whether
the Turk will be able to subdue these
brave people Of the isle Of Candia.
But when there is added to this the
strength which other Powers may bring
into the contest, the Sublime Porte will
stand but sorry chance Of subduing
these rebels.
The cable within day or two, has an
nounced the fact that the Greeks are sure
to come TO the rescue, and that Greece
will make the quarrel Of Gambia her own
The announcement in the Prussian journal
which reflects the opinions Of BrsNAncE
that the Cretans were right in this con
test, and that the great Powers should in
terfcre in their behalf, shows pretty clearly
how the great statesman of Europe feels
in respect to this cruel war which the Turl
is waging against his Christian subjects
The King Of Greece is a son.in.law Of thC
Gar, and the Emperor Of Russia may bt
supposed, therefore, to side with Greece il
her sympathy with Crete. All the peopl
belong to the Greek Church, and it i
known that the Gar of Russia is the hea
OF this Church.
We may now, therefore, look on thi
country and consider the troubles of Cret
near their close, and her civil and religion
liberty secured; for should not Greco,
and Crete united be able to lberat,
the former from the Ottoman thraldom
Russia and Prussia may, and the latte
doubtless would, lend helping hand
We consider, therefore, that Crete is in
deed on the path to freedom.

The Surratt Trial.

The city was filed with thousand and
one improbable rumors yesterday respect
ing the verdict of the jury in this case,
and many took up these stories and re-
ported them each to his neighbor, till what
was storicd as q known falsehood became,
in the estimation of many, q yertable
truth Men did not stop to consider that
it was next to impossible to ascertain how
the jury stood upon the question OF the
guilt or innocence Of the prisoner, but
they did not hesitate to report this and
that conclusion to which the jury had ar.
rived as though there was q free and full
intercourse between these twelve men and
the outside world.
We were given to understand in the
most positive and authoritative way that
there were eleven OF the jury for acquittal
and only "one obstinate man" who held
out, and the motive which was said to in
Auence this individual was one of fear.
He is Il rich man and fears if SuRRATT is
acquitted the capital will be removed In
SNORT tuc CITY Mus iuIi ol many Stories
equally ridiculous and absurd as this.
But how stands the case now? Nothing,
absolutely nothing, is known beyond this ::
that up to SIX o'clock last evening, when
the court took recess till ten o'clock this
morning, the jury had not agreed. When
the verdict in this case will be rendered,
or what it will be, we will not undertake to
predict. In the meantime VIC shall wait
patiently for the rendering of the jury.
