South Carolina Votes the New Consultation.
late despatch from General Candy, COM
mander ofthe Second Southern Military District,
embracing the States of North and South
Carolina, says that on the ratification of the
new constitution the total vote of South Caro-
lima, so far as reported, is 81, s43-majority for
the constitution 36, l0l. Three districts not
heard from, six incomplete. The majority on
the full vote will, therefore, in all probability
largely exceed 10000. This is not surprising
when we take into the account these facts: that
there are 100000 blacks In South Carolina
against 800, 900 whites, and that universal negro
suffrage operated in this election in favor of
the blacks, while the Acknowledgement Of the
leading whites, on account Of their connection
with the rebellion, materially reduced what
otherwise would be the white vote. The
registered voters Of the State are 46, GAG whites
and 80, 7l4 blacks; so that, from the results of
the election as reported, there was not full
turnout on either side, and the election went
by default. In North Carolina and Georgia,
where the registered whites have the majority,
we look for different results, especially as the
blacks are evidently beginning to bolt from the
radical camps. AS for poor, unfortunate South
Carolina, 1t is to be feared that her troubles
under negro supremacy are just beginning,
although If the conservative policy towards
the blacks proposed by General Wade Hampton
we're generally adopted we have no doubt
that the blacks and their late masters would
soon be working harmoniously together.

GENERAL SoHoFIELD's APPOINTMENT AS
SECRETARY OF WAR.-The appointment Of
General Schoield as Secretary Of War in place
of Mr.. Stanton, ''to be removed" which the
President has just sent in to the Senate, has
led to the inquiry whether this is not com
promise preliminary to some settlement Of the
impeachment question-say, for instance, a
verdict of acquittal. Schofeld and Grant are
firm friends. The radicals are counting Grant,
and Grant has absolute reliance upon Schoheld,
as well he might, because he Is thoroughly
honest, consistent and incorruptible soldier,
wise, cautious and reliable. If Grant and his
radical friends are willing to see General
Schofeld placed in the War Department, to
which the President has appointed him, much
of the difficulty in getting rid of Stanton may
be removed, and the acerbity which charac-
terizes the conduct of the trial on the part Of
the Managers and some Of the Senators may
be softened down. The appointment of Gen.
eral Schoaeld at this juncture is significant.
Does IT mean q compromise, or what does it
mean?

Russian Diplomacy on the Canadian Ques-
Tim.

husslau diplomacy On the Can0lan Quos~
ton.
Lord Stanley, in reply to Parliamentary
question, has informed the British House of
Commons that the Gear of Russia lately con-
veyed to the English Cabinet certain secret
diplomatic proposals on the subject Of solu-
ton of the Cretan war difficulty, the exact
nature of which could not be made public
without the consent of his Majesty the EN-
peror. If the Atlantic cable reports the sub
stance of the remarks of the Foreign Secretary
correctly, the st. Petersburg secret advance
contemplated nothing less than sudden joint
England and Russia-a step which the Queens
government refused to take, being assured that
Turkey would not acknowledge it's efficiency
unless by ''compulsion," meaning thereby that
the newly arranged alliance would have to
enforce its act of liberation by war. The
cable telegram conveys also the appearance
as if Lord Stanley referred to the subject with
reluctance, for it says he admitted" the fact.
This looks as if the acknowledgment and ex-
PLANTATION were wrung from his lordship by
successful maneuvre of the opposition in the
Commons.
Taking this view of the subject we are not
surprised at Lord Stanley's hesitation in deal
ing openly with such subject Secret cor
respondence with Russia on the Eastern ques-
ton, in face of the vast ornaments of France
and the decided leaning Of Napoleon, with the
aid of Austria and the probable support of
North Germany to maintain the status IN quo
in Turkey for some time longer, is very tick
lish matter for Great Britain. In Christian
point of view the diplomacy of Canadian liberia
ton and independence is very tempting; but
the ''balance of power" adjustment of Europe
still steps in, and must take precedence
Of the light of the Gospel for some time
longer. The Gear Alexander is no doubt
extremely anxious to detach England from the
| entente cordi0le with France; but he will
| scarcely effect such q serious rupture by
pleading the cause of new Christian nation
| atty, even although Greece should be rem
dered more powerful, in preference to con-
| venience at st. James. r
The proposition Of the Gar to which Lord
| Stanley refers can scarcely be that lately sub
mitted by Russia to the great Powers stimuli
taneously; for if so the Secretary would not
speak of it as ''secret proposal" to England,
and Parliament would not inquire as to mat
ter already within the knowledge of its mem
| bers.
Is it possible that this secret diplomacy of
Russia in London was an immediate cause OF
the maintenance of the huge standing armies
on the Continent? Did Napoleon fear a sud
den rupture of the English alliance and war
with Russia and Great Britain in the East, and
hence keep armed? 1t may be so, indeed; for
we are informed from Berlin that France, Aus
tria and Prussia agreed to reduce their armies
by extensive furloughs almost simultaneously
with the declaration of Lord Stanley.

Imperial Plans of Public Works in France.
last that the government would bring bill be-
fore the next Corps Legislatif to provide for the
completion of the extensive public works on
the interior and connecting roads of France
These works have been prosecuted with greater
or less energy ever since the restoration of the
empire Napoleon ILL.,, the author of the ''Life
of Caesar, remembers we'll how convenient
nay, how Indispensable the facilities
for travel and transport provided by the Caesars
in order to make every military station a centre
of protection and of industry in keeping up
communication with the capital of the Roman
empire. The Roman military roads, which ex-
tended their qualifications out of Rome through
the length and breadth of her domain, were
the best and most durable of all such struc-
lures. The Emperor of the French knows well
of iron may make them serve as means in the
hands of modern rulers of causing the central
power to be felt to the last league of their ter
ritory The fine broad boulevards which have
been constructed within Paris during the last
few years have not only let light and air into
the dark, unhealthy labyrinthine quarters
where revolution used to Turk, but they
have also proved to be, as they were in
tended, military roads available for depressing
instruction. The new development Of the
system of French roads promised by the bill
which has been mentioned will increase the
responsibilities of the Minister of Agriculture,
Commerce and Public Works, whose depart
ment is already 80 extensive and important,
embracing the operations of twenty eight
bureaus in thirteen divisions. No doubt
double motive has impeled the Emperor of the
French to propose the bill in question:
benevolent wish to provide labor and food for
the rapidly multiplying numbers whom ''out Of
work and ''iamine" are threatening to add to
the dangerous classes" in France, and that
instinct of selfpreservation which must be
particularly strong at the present moment
when so many ominous signs of the times fore
bode the perilous accidents that may overthrow
him and his dynasty. 1t is not impossible that
Napoleon III. may yet find one of the fine new
roads which he has planned as convenient for
precipitate fight as the late Louis Philippe
found the road to Havre on his way to Eng
land.

Chief Justice Chase and the Radicals.
The radical organs are already intimating
that the Senate will object to the Chief Justices
right to charge the jury lof senators) in the
impeachment trial. Are they afraid that the
statement of the law of the case coming from a
legal and-it is to be presumed-an impartial
mind will stand upon the record in testimony
of their foregone verdict of guilty9 The Chief
Justice has, up to this point, proved himself
an unprejudiced Judge. His rulings so far have
been equitable as between the accused and his
prosecutors. Wherever, throughout the pro-
gress of the trial. the rule of fair play and equal
justice has been set aside it was when the vote of
the Senate overrode the decision of the Chief
Justice. If testimony wearing favorable COM
plexion to the President and material in answer
to the charges was ruled out of court, it was the
Senators, by their votes and not the ChiefJus-
tice, who so ruled it out Therefore it is quite
likely that the process which the radical organs
threaten with regard to the charge from the
bench will be carried out, and that Chief Justice
Chase will not be permitted to explain the law
of the case. Ignoring all law and setting
aside the constitution as they do, it would be
placing the Senators in a very embarrassing
position if they should be compelled either to
take the Interpretation of the law from the
Chief Justice, or, boldly disregarding his in
structions, pronounce their verdict against the
President So we think that the privilege of
the Chief Justice to charge the jury will very
probably be denied by a very emphatic vote.
