THE EASTERN QUESTION.

The war cloud in Europe grows appa-
ren.ly thicker and darker each succeeding
day still the most hercniean efforts are
being made by England, Austria and Ger
many for continued and permanent peace.
The Gar evidently means war if he can
not secure a guarantee of protection and
practical selfgovernment to the Christian
subjects of the Porte In the Sclsvonic prov
inces. In this state of affairs much, indeed,
almost everything, seems to depend upon
the disposition and character of the new
Sultan. If he is imbued with q spirit of
Ebefslity, tolerance and reform, he will
probably accede to the demands of Russia
in regard to the appointment of native
Christian Goyerners in the disturbed PROV
inces and by the discharge of his Asiatic
troops, and devote his energies to the con-
sOlidation Of his empire and reeuperstion
of its resources, with a. view
to an era of prosperity. But if on the con-
trary he is carried away by spirit of su-
perstitious bigotry and obstinate determi-
nation to propagate and perpetuate Mos
lemism. even BY fire and sword, he will no
doubt gain all the time he can by tenn
porizing and negotiating. and then plunge
wildly into a war, hoping that the pride
and euPidity of Great Britain will at
tach her to his fortunes, and bring her i'm
mense power ana resources to his assist
snce. 1t is difficult to conceive of Great
Britain ranging herself on the side of the
emi-barbarous Turk in his efforts to de-
fend his atrocihes against the Christians of
Bulgaria. But there IS no telling what
complications may grow out of the ap-
preaching negotiations and what al
liances may result from the multi
farous and diverse interests involved.
Meanwhile al parties are preparing to
back up their demands and opinions and
covetous desires by the relentless dogs Of
war. The very magnitude of these Prepa-
rsiions impel US to the opinion that con-
fiict will finally be avoided. Should war
ensue it appears almost inevitable that 1t
must involve az the great Powers of Ed
rope in It's embrace. And the commerce
of the world will be endangered by it.
This fact will range in opposition to an
outbreak the entire Eoneyed sristocracy Of
Europe. A re4ctionary influence Of this
character, will &C fAr toward the preserva-
tion Of peace.

GOVERNOR HENDRICkS, in his speeches
during the canvass, frequently declared
that in the Southern States controlled BY
the Democrats there was no trouble, no
Intimidation, DO talk about election frauds,
&c. In fact, the Governor painted Dem
ocraGc elysium, drawing upon his imagins-
tion for his facts, which had less foundation
than castles en- espagne" Among other
States that Governor Hendricks frequently
alluded to as a State where everything
was lovely and the goose hangs high" was
Arkansas. For the information of Cover
nor Hendricks-nO, not for that, because
he already knows it. but for the informa-
tion of people who might be deceived by
Governor Hendricks statements-we will
tell few things about elections in Arkan-
sas, taking the county (Pulaski) where the
capital of the State (Little Rock) is stu
ated. At the State election, which was
held in September, when all the county
officers were also elected, in one ward of
the city 81 votes were returned for the
Republican party, and 1872 men came for
ward and swOre that they voted the Re-
publican ticket. This ward now gives
1Ts for Hayes and Wheeler. The vote in
one township was held back for three days,
until il was known definitely what vote
was wanted to make the county Demo-
cratic, and then Il Democratic majority
was reported. Now it gives over 200 Re-
publican majority. Other townships were
thrown out and the returns manipulated
until Democratic majority was manufac-
tured. Now it returns majority of over
1,pQ0 for Hayes and Wheeler. This is the
difference made by United States super
visors. The Republican candidate for
Governoz, General Bishop, is a gentleman
of unimpeachable character, and has been
a conservative Republican, AMI sided with
the Democrats in the Brooks Baxter war.
Yet they resorted to such measures to beat
a man whom they all declared was honest
and capable. and who had befriended them.
Governor Hendricks will have tofud some
other State than Arkansas as an example of
honest nAmnnraav

have citizen governor appointed by the
President and confirmed by the Senate,
and an administrative council of six. eight
or ten members, half appointed in like
manner, and half elected by the people.
Such government would afford secu-e
protection to the interests Of the people,
both Of the District and Of the nation.
Congress should continue to legislate by
general acts for the District fixing the tax
rate and making the appropriations. The
administrative council could arrange detsils
by the enactment of minor ordinances for
the government Of the police, the schools,
the repair and cleansing and improvement
Of streets and the like, all OF which the ex-
ecutive would see enforced. 1t appears to
us that such government might be made
effective and economical, It would be
made responsible to Congress and the peo-
pie, and could be held to rigid individual
accountability d. .--r -..rs r.r.f

We are requested by Judge Bramhsll to
state, in justice to the parties named in our
paper of the 10Th instant, that he has been
informed that both Mr.. Edgar Van Slyck
and Mr.. Williams, the magistrate of the
village, deny in the most positive manner
that they were Informed by any one or had
any knowledge of the violence perpetrated
at the railway station until af:er the pss-
sage of the traiB, and that he has received
such denial from Mr.. Van Slyck person
ally, accompanied by the assurance that
if he had had the slightest intimation Of
what was going on he would have instantly
interfered. Mr.. Bramhall assures US that
he has no reason 10 doubt the truthfulness
of this denial on the part of Mr.. Van Slyck,
but thst the denial Of culpability on the
mart of Mr.. Williams IS much weakened by
his incorporate denunciations of Mr. Can't

THE Democratic pilgrims at New Or

cannot find the ;H:n co!ored members of

them before the board met ," Are not all

they hope to corrupt these men! We can
tell them that their efforts will be useless.
These colored members Of the Returning

cratic leaders tried 10 do in 1861.

EDITORIAL POSTSCRIPT.

/ Wild and hot-headed members of the Demo-
cratic party of reform are clustering stormily
over the frightening Republican prospects in
the South. They don't like to give up the
ship for the fifth time within the short space
of sixteen years, and In their waning hopes
they become defiant and declare that, should
7 Hayes be inaugurated in Washington, they
will inaugurate Tilden In New York, and,
bringing the fifty thousand State militia to his
support, seat him in the Presidential chair by
armed force. In crisis like, this men with
such threats on their lips should be sent up in
a balloon and dropped into the broad waters
of the Atlantic ocean. - %
In 1864 Tflden proclaimed the war a failure,
and said d: "We must give up the fight"
He asked Us 10 spike our guns
When the foe was st bay;
When the rags Of the black flag
Were dropping away;
To pull down the proud name
That our nation had won,
And strike her bravo bird
From his home in the sun.
Now that the loyal people of the North have
brought him and his friends once more at bay,
some of his followers are crying out, "We
have popular majority you must give up
the fight" Popular majorities are below par
in this crisis. 1t is the electoral vote that con-
stitutionally wins, and Ben Hill says he is for
the Constitution now and forevermore.

Stockton, (Cal.,) Herald, sends to that paper. Gut this out and save it, and if it is as efficacious as it is recommended to be it may be worth thousands of dollars to you:
 I herewith append receipt which has been used to my knowledge Tn hundreds of cases.
 It will prevent or cure the small poN though the pittings are fill ing. When Jenncr discovered cow-pox in England the world of science hurled an avalanche of fame upon his head, but when the most scientific school of med cine in the world-that of Paris published this recipe as a panacea for the smallpox, it passed un- needed. It is as unfailing as fate, and <conquers in every in stance. It is harmless when taken by a well person. It.will also cure scarlet fever. Here is the recipe as have used it, and cured my children of the scarlet fever; here it is as 1 have used it to cure the smallpoX-when learn physicians said the patient must die it cured: Sulphate of zinc one grain, foxglove (digitalis) one grain, half q teaspoonful of sugar; mix with two tablespoon fuls of water. When mixed add four ounces of water, Take a tablespoonful every hour. Either disease wili disappear in twelve hours. For child smaller doses, according to age. If counties would compel thelr physicians to use this there would he no need of pesthouses. If you value ad- vice and experience, use this for that terrible disease.
