MIR. Stewards Apology to the Grand Turk.
Our Pera correspondent, whose letter we
publish to-day, confirms the ocean cable
account of the favorable impression produced.
at the Porte by the despatch of the Secretary
of State to Mr.. E. Joy Norris explaining and
regretting certain offensive remarks of the
American Minister at Constantinople relative
to the Sultan, and also the publicity inadvert-
emily given to them. Our correspondents
letter was accompanied by copies of the de-
spatches of Fuad Pacha, Blacque Bey and Mr..
Seward. We publish the despatch Of our Sec
rotary of State, together with translations Of
the dispatches of the Minister of Foreign
Affairs at Constantinople and of the Turkish
Minister at Washington. The whole case il
set forth in this correspondence, which is q
model of the union Of dignity and courtesy
that should always characterize diplomatic in
tercourse. The satisfactory settlement of this
eastern question" is all the more gratifying
on account Of the friendly relations which have
so long subsisted between the Ottoman gov
eminent and the government of the United
States. Mr. Seward bears testimony to these
friendly relations when he says in his de-
spatch =" Certainly no State ever had less
reason to complain of bad faith, inattention or
want of comfy on the part Of foreign govern
ment than the United States have now to COM
plain of the Sultan and his government" Mr..
Seward, moreover, freely admits that the
course of administration which the Turkish

criticisms of Mr.. Morris on the Sultan has
conclusively indicated the character of the
Sultan for sagacity, ability and vigor.

looking at the chain of revolutionary events
behind us, without the warning that the end of
the chain is still before us; for this great and
comprehensive revolution, opened seven years
ago, has not yet run It's course. With John
sons renewal, however, we may look for the
complete fuflment Of the radical programme
in rapid succession Of surprises to incre-
dulous philosophers. To gid the pill of this
incoming radical regime under President Ben
Wade we may expect delusive imitation of the
currency, like that under Van Buren, in 1856.
which brought about the disastrous revulsion
of 1897. Greenbacks or national bank money
will be made plentiful, prices Of everything
will 70 up, universal prosperity and universal
speculation will prevail. The people, perhaps
nav thus be deceived with the fallacious idea
that, after all, the radicals in full authority are
bringing in the millennium. But what will they
care for the inevitable crash that must follow.
so that they weather the breakers of the Presi-
Dental contest and get the government and the
people firmly IN their grasp In short, we
predict tbas after Andrew Johnson's removal.
for good or evil our great revolution will be

Ague-Chills and Fevers,

As the season for this distressing mala-
dy approaches, its symptoms are looked
for with anxiety by its victims. How
they yawn and stretch and shake and burn,

dread hand has been laid /, Few Affections

in itself, so utterly enervates and depres-

more trivial and ridiculous to the beholdey.

way precisely is not very clear. How TO
to avoid its effects is all that is pecessaYy

therefore, it is most active, and it is most

much as possible. Sd. Sleep with the
windows of the bed chamber closed, no
matter how cool and inviting the night
air may be. These rules well observed
will keep off chills. Those who cannot,
from any cause, observe them, can have
ague and take quinine. If objection is
made that individuals are known who
violate all these rules and escape ague. it
is only necessary to say that there are
some persons who will not take anything.
