Will there be n Change in the state De-
pnrtments


On the cath of March last, moro than six
weeks ago, the Legislature of Massachusetts,
officially brought to the notice of the public
The iact TINT JOHN BANCROFT DAVIS, Assis
liant Secretary of State of the United States
had, some three years previously, while a
Director of the Erie Railway Company, re
scvcd bride of 100000 to bctray his trust
and to sell out the interest of the Eric Rail.
way Company TO another corporation. This
danning fact was proved by varied testi-
nony, and was sworn to ly JOHN s. Ell
DRIDoE, President Of the Company in whose
behalf DAVIS was bribed.
Though ample time has elapsed since this
exposure, made by the Leg stature OF one of
The lending States of the Union, upon evi.
dence that neither DAVIS nor any one of his
friends has yet dared TO impeach, neither the
PRESIDENT nor Mr.. HAMILTON FISH has
taken any notice Of it nor has the fact re-
ccivcd attention from either House of Con
gress nor from any prominent newspaper
organ of the Republican party. It
would thus seem to he unanimously
admitted by all of these representa-
lives OF the great political organization
which has 20 long governed the country
That man may be disgracod with the pro
ven shame Of bribery and corruption OF sell
ing himself for money TO commit breach Of
trust, and may yet be fit and proper person
to exercise one Of the most important Offices
Of the Government. There cannot be more
astonishing exhibition of the corruption
which has gained such foothold in our poll
tics, and of the indolcnt indifference with
which even honest men tolerate the propo-
stion that the Erosscst readiness to take
brides Is no bar against the possession of high
public honors and authority.
We now learn from Washington that II is
probable that Mr.. HAMILTON FISH will not
much longer remain in the State Department,
and that he is to be Succeeded by the Hon
LOT NJ. MORRILL, of Maine. This change
will be grateful to tho country. Mr. Nor
RILL is not merely man Of ability, of broad
and comprehensive views, and Of experience
in political affairs, a leader of the Republican
party, and u power among the people, but he
Is also IN honest man. Moro than this, he
has always evinced delicate regard for his
Dwn reputation and jealous respect for the
honor of his country. If he should become
Secretary of State, Mr.. JOHN BANCROFT
DAVIS will probably remain in the Depart
ment no longer than will be requisite to no
tify him of his dismissal.

The alliance between Russia and Ee y1>p
no secret TO attentive observers Of Eastern affairs
The Khediye would never have displayed so
much pluck If be had not been b.cLed up by
Russia, and if he had not also some reason to
count upon the support Of france. Russia is not
likely to reccde from her traditional policy, ana
the EG ptian conflict affords fne opportunity,
which the Emperor ALEXANDER seems inclined to
improve. Great Britain with her complica-
tions with the United States and Ia Ireland, and
with the Russian rivalry for Asiatc supremacy, is
for the present in most perplexng condition,
which is exceedingly encouraging to the Russian,
French, and Egyptian enterprises.

When the President says a European
power is ready to pay two millions for SANTANA,
what power does he meant The story in Wash.

Baron GgRoLr, the Minister Of that power, pro-
nounccs the report a sheer hoax. This was evident
before TO everybody but the President and the job
bers who imposed this silly idea upon his credu-
lily. But suppose a European Government
should make such purchase; aftcr n year or

questions Of public policy, like the tariff, taxation,
