THE FALL RIVER STRIKE The manufac-
turers of Fall River, who, in the present
condition of their stock and of the market,
are somewhat indifferent to the resumption
of operations in their mills, have taken ad-
vantage of the necessities of the operatives
to aim blow at the combination among
them, which, if successful, will place their
employees entirely at their mercy in the
future. A meeting of the weavers took place
yesterday, in which significant illusions
were made to the bread riots in England
and Wales and open and covert threats of
violence were resorted to. The men are
fiercely determined not to submit to the de-
mands of the owners, and if these are per-
sisted in it is evident the end is notYet

Count Won Ba..ss ON the Eastern
Question.

In another column will be found, in q
Vienna letter. an interesting resume of the
comprehensive views of Count Beust on the
relations of the troublesome countries in the
border land between Turkey, Austria and
Russia to the general politics and peace of
Europe This experienced statesman is of
opinion that, in the present conditions of
national existence, small States are impossi-
BILE in that part of the world, simply because
small States cannot maintain the military
force that is necessary to keep down tur-
bulent population. For this reason, there
fore, he has no faith in the proposed solution
of the Servian and Bosnian difficulties by
giving those States semi-independence;
for, if his view be correct, they would then be
more troublesome neighbors than they now
are. But for this presumed danger Austria
would make no objection to their possession
of autonomy but Austria must have peace
on her frontiers and safe navigation of the
Danube, and would regard these as i'm
perilled by the erection near her of several
small self-governed States constantly in
turmoil of local feuds and little wars All
that country, therefore, must belong to one
of the three great Powers near. Austria does
not desire more territory neither does
Russia. Turkey may, therefore, retain it,
and, with some notifications of her
relation to the people, these would
be better contented under her au-
thority than in any other way. Count
Won Beust's opinion of the only modification
of the Turkish system that would be practical
involves his project of an Indo-European
railway. He would vivify Turkey by send
ing the great tide of traffic and travel across
her desolate plains and down her abandoned
rivers. He conceives the city on the Bos-
phorus as becoming once more the great
emporium that it was in the earlier days of
human history, and of the barbarism, ignor-
ance and bigotry of Moslemism as melting
away in the presence of commerce and in
dustry All this is the settlement of polit-
ical problems by economical forces-a set
tlement that is in the spirit of the age ; bat
we fear that for the present occasion this.
must be regarded as a visionary remedy.

A very serlous s1atter.

In the year 1870 Henry Clews & Co., bank
ers of New York and London, were appointed
financial agents of the United States in Lon
don, the deposits of the government being
taken from the house of the Barings, who had
held this confidential and responsible posi-
ton almost ever since the foundation of our
government The change, made suddenly,
and, so far as the public knew, without
cause, attracted unpleasant comments at the
time. 1t was commonly said that the ap-
pointment of Clews q Co. was the reward OF
political service, and during the panic OF
1873. when the house failed, Mr.. Clews was
conspiculously spoken Of as the personal
friend of the President and the Secretary OF
the Treasury.
On Thursday, on hearing of creditors
who opposed the discharge of the firm OF
Clews a. Co. under bankruptcy proceedings,
appeared Benjamin IL Cheever, of Washing
ton. and on his own account and that OF James
Van Buren, presented an unsatisfied claim for
one hundred and forty thousand five hundred
dollars for each as their share of the profits
made by the house of Clews q Co. through
being financial agents Of the government,
and as voucher for this claim exhibited the
following agreement
Should we be appointed by the United States gov
ernment its financial agents In London, Paris or
Frankfort we hereby agree divide the pronts of tho
same with H. Cheever and James Van Buren, one
quarter EACH they being partners In such proporuon
WASHINGTON, D. c.. March 27, 1869.
1t is not pretended, we believe, that
| Cheever and Van Buren were partners In the
house of Clews & Co. What, then, is the
nature of their claim? For what reason
should Clews Co. promise them one-saf
their profits from their dealings with the
eovernment2 Mr. Boutwell, was Secretary
of the Treasury when Clews & Co. were
male financial agents in the place of the Bar
ings. IF the document shown to the credit
ors is genuine will it not be necessary for
Mr. Boutwell, 10 explain ? The selection OF
Clews & Co. in place of the Barings excited
astonishment when it was made. Now, in
view of these agreements. if they shall prove
authentic. it will excite even less agreeable
feelings.

THE COLLISION between the Rockaway
steamer Americus and a steam launch, which

THE AERIAL FIRE LADDER JoB.-Now that
the inquiry into the aerial fire ladder calam-
ity has closed it will be well to institute an
inquiry into the whole scandalous job of its
purchase by the city. Were any other Off
cials than the chief clerk of the Fire Depart
ment interested in the arrangement by which
the profits were divided between the reputed
owner of the patent and Secretary White2
Whose money was paid to Mrs. Scott Uda
by the chief clerk? How did the claim
happen to be paid Immediately after the pur-
chase by White? Are there not checks in the
Finance Department by which, before
claim is paid, its bona Jide owner can be dis
covered? These and other questions are of
interest, and certainly the. whole affair is
suspicious enough to demand some sort of an
investigation.

In SPAIN the principal topic of public in
terest is still the extraordinary demands OF
the Papal Nuncio. The Ministry, it is
said, will make no concessions pref judicial to
the independence of the magistrates in deal
ing with the bishops, and especially the
Bishop of SEQ de Urgel. 1t is probable the
indictment hanging over the head of that
dignitary had a good deal to do with the
attempt to revive, in favor of ecclesiastics, an
immunity from civil and criminal punish
ments that has long ago fallen into disuse.
These repeated promises of frmness and
vigor on the part of the Ministry, coupled
with the delay in taking action, SAVIOR OF
timidity. The Nuncio has been replaced
and returns to Rome

The Red Men and the Green Ones.
1t is proposed to put such tremendous
coat of whitewash on Secretary Delano and
the Indian Ring men that the country will be
actually forced into recognizing them as men
with characters to lose-therefore as men
who can be lbelled-and then upon this
foundation to build fine fabric of libel
suits with which to crush Professor Marsh
1t is of course, confidently believed that an
exhibition of this sort will deter any other
public spirited citizen from meddling at
any time in the future with the little games
of the powers that be. In reading the en-
thusiastic bulletins of the people who pro-
pose this campaign against Professor Marsh
the public will for moment have its mis-
givings of that gentleman's position, and
may naturally wonder whether he has been
imposed upon whether he has been YER
dant enough to become the tool of any
hostile interest, and so has put forth
charges that cannot be sustained. But
moments reflection will convince every
one that if there is any glaring verdancy in
this case it is not on the side Of Professor
Marsh, but ON the SIDE OF those who have
persuaded themselves that they can get rid
ofpublic opinion in this manner There is
no room to hope that any Of the parties con-
cerned in Indian frauds will sue Professor
Marsh for libel, because they know that
courts are one thing and investigating COM
mittees quite another. But if there should
be among them any such faith in legal tech
nicalities as will lead them to take this step
we shall then see the unusual spectacle of an
administrative attempt to crush man who
has denounced corruption in the interest Of
public honesty. In that case the man will
not be left alone to bear the burden of such
duty as his defence, but the public, in whose
interest he has spoken will rally to his sup
mort

Political Ideas OF Georgia Negroes.

The HERAID's Augusta correspondent
sends, in a letter printed elsewhere, some
extracts from the testimony of several col
ored men who were witnesses in the recent
conspiracy trials in Georgia What they
said is very curious reading 1t shows ex-
traordinary ignorance in the blacks, and
capacity to be easily misled by designing
and INSCRIPTIONS men. 1t discloses also, as
it appears to US, the fact that there are men
capable of misleading these negroes by
vague talk about their ''rights" and about
the necessity of asserting them Such dem
agogues appear to fill the minds of the
blacks with exalted notions of General
Grants power. They connect his name
with the old story of 'forty acres and
mule" and persuade the negroes that they
must depend upon the federal government
for 'justice" and have no need to care for
the State government or State laws
In fact, the negroes have taken literally the
oft-repeated cry that they are 'the nations
wards, and they prefer to live under such
guardian and entertain very absurd ideas of
what the federal power can and will do for
them. 1t is very necessary to disabuse them
of such notions, which can only lead them
into troublous waters and the duty of the
real friends of the black man, just now, is
to explain to him very clearly that he has
been made citizen ; that he has all the
rights and responsibilities of a citizen, and
no more. and that the federal government is
neither going to give him land nor protect
him in idleness or evil doing.

FULLEKTONs FINISHING STROKE,

WV A1Ah 1AAA "a A-1 ALNa
The most masterely thing which has
been done in the Brooklyn trial, was Full
lertOn's closing contest with Beecher, ter
minating the latter's crOsS-examinatiOn.
1t was like the writing Of two seTpents
for the final mastery, but the lawyer 90
pressed the preacher in his merciless coils,
that the latter, in squirming, made an
opening, through which the lawyer sunk
his Iong-poised dart, and practically struck
him dead. He inquired of Beecher
whether be had not been greatly alarmed
at the state of bis his health in 1873; and,
by a series of most artful questions, grad
ually led him into the confession,
that he had been threatened several
times with aPoplexy in that year,
and more than once did not expect to come
out of the pulpit alive. Having established
this confession completely, the willy lawyer
then handed 30 the great expOunder of
Scriptural truths a paper, bearing his sig
nature, and having verified it, exhibited
the paper TO the court. 1t proved 10 be a
policy OF life insurance, for several thou
sand dollars, which had been obtained by
the great preacher upon his life, in the
early spring of 1874, on the solemn repre-
sensations that he was IN full health and
had no tendencies whatever towards disease
or ailmenU Of any kind. The triumphant
lawyer, with a barely peTceptible smile,
then said cOOlly to the court: "lf your
Honor please, this closes the CrOss-exami-
nation"
