The Paris Conference.

It appears now that the alarming difficulty
in the East viii be got over without the neces-
sity of going to war. The parties who signed
the treaty of Paris, 1856, are too much inte-
rested in the preservation of peace to allow
Turkey and Greece to 60 to war just yet. The
time may come when the Eastern question will
take new shape and when war will be less
connected with future alarming possibilities.
In the meantime war in the East must be
avoided, because it would inevitably create
complications the issue of which no one can
foresee. twill be well If the Conference shall
teach Greece to strive to improve her internal
affairs, and so to strive that she shall command
the respect of the nations. This point certainly
she has not yet reached. II will also be well
if the Italian government shall yield herself
more completely up to the influence of modern
civilization. What Turkey needs is little
more of the steam engine, of the electric tele-
graph, Of the printing press. Let Turkey only
do this, and religious differences will be less .
disturbing element than they have been. The
Eastern question is virtually settled for the
present, and it may well be doubted whether
it will ever be revived in the same shape again.
Unless the Turkish government is careful the
real danger Of the future win be less in the
interference of Greece or in the intrigues of
Russia than in the rising Of the Greek
provinces of the empire. When Turkey begins
to fall Of her own weight 1t will not be possible
for any conference to save her.

Government Fands I'm Private Hands.
1t appears there is report current in WASH
ington that the Treasury Department is in the
habit of leaving large government balances in
the hands Of favorite bankers. Something
like fifteen millions, reported as the currency
balance IN the Treasury every month, has been
deposited for long time past, it is stated,
with q certain banking firm. The use of and
interest on such q sum, or even on q third of
it, would make any bank rich. We know that
one banker at least in Washington has made
an immense fortune within few years by
handling government money, and through the
favoritism Of the Treasury Department. No
where else in the world could such fortune have
been made in so short time, and it shows how
recklessly extravagant has been the manage
ment Of our finances. No doubt there are other
friends Of the Secretary Of the Treasury who
have amassed wealth through similar favors or
by valuable information afforded as to the gold
and other operations Of the department. The
sooner the Treasury is divorced from all con-
nection with private parties the better; for
such transactions as reported are full Of cor
ruption and dangerous. There ought to be q
searching investigation made by Congress into
these rumors, and into all the secret ma
chinery Of the Treasury operations.

The ROGERS MURDER-WoRKrNa AT THE
WRONG END.-Our city detectives had two
weeks hunt for well known criminal, of whom
they had the State Prison description, and who
was not hidden at all, but just coming and going
on the surface Of city life. They did find him,
and no other evidence is needed Of the worth
lessness Of such detectives" But may we be
permitted to wonder why they were so keen
for this man? He Is not the man that is
wanted In the clue. The letter was written to
him, and he might well know nothing Of il
and never have received it. Justice wants the
man who wrote the letter, and he can proba-
bly, tell who ''Tom" is. Rogers heard the con-
federate Of his murderer call the murderer
"Jim." But these fellows have plenty Of
names. II ought to be easy to find the man
who sent the letter to 'James Logan, by the
hand Of Tom"--easy, we mean, by q reward,
not by the detectives.

IMPROVEMENTS IN NEW York HARBoR.
the House Of Representatives yesterday Mr..
Robinson, Of New York, introduced bill appro-
priating five million dollars for the Improvement
Of the harbor of New York. Every improve
ment made In this harbor is beneficial to the
commerce Of the whole country. The removal
Of the distractions at He'll Gate the erection
Of substantial docks and piers on the water
line Of New York and Brooklyn, and every
thing else that facilitates the operations of the
shipping that enter and depart from this port,
effect . common good to our common pros
perity as Q commercial nation and help to
swell the wealth Of the West as well a. the
East, the South as well as the North. Let MS
see how far Congress is disposed to 90 in the
performance Of national duty and in accom-
plishing practical and substantial good by
Its legislation upon this proposition for the i'm
provement Of the harbor Of the metropolis.
IT'S AN ILL WIND, &c.-There does seem TO
be a time when the thieves OF this city are in
danger from the oficers Of justice-the Sheriff
especially. This time Is when they are testl-
tying before Congressional committees to the
prejudice Of the democracy. At all other times
their immunity from the officers OF the law
seems to be complete. The Sheriff says there
were warrants out for some OF the witnesses.
II that was so how Is 1t the committee could
fnd the rogues and the holders Of the warrants
could not?
