PRESIDENTIAL ABSENCES.

nual summer soJou!lis III VO''"60 y
tie sea, at Long Branch, have often
been made the subject Of sharp crltl-
cism. Nor has the fault-Gnding al
ways come from his political enemies
But it turns out that if the admins
tration did lay itself open to the sar-
casm Of being a government on Wheels
or in palace cars, there has been an
pie precedent for it on the part OF
Gen. Grants predecessors. Mr., Lin
coins term was the exception. lie was
never away except at an occasional re-
view of tie army. ~ resolution passed
the House Of Representatives some
time ago calling for information as to
the Presidents performance OF any
official duty at a distance from the
seat Of government. The reply OF
the President is very independent
ard good deal in The old spirit OF
Gen. jackson s: Il take the respon-
sibility' messages, which used tc
please people so much. He mildly
intimates that an Executive branch
of the government is responsible for
its acts and the legislative branch fol
its Gets and the House has not much
business to inquire into the matter
Whether in Washington or absent
from it he has aimed to discharge
every duty and neglect none.
The message is too long for our col
unns, but accompanying it is a mem
orandum containing historical infor-
nation on the subject Of Presidential
absences from Washington which vii
be new and interesting TO most read
ers. President Washington, as We
learn from this memorandum, was
frequently absent from the capitol
in all about one hundred and eighty
one days during his term and per.
formed important official acts while
absent. President John Adams was
absent from the capital during his
term Of four years on various occa.
sions, three hundred and cignty-hyC

THE EASTERN CONFUSION.

The probable suicide, possible assassination
in any case, death-of the late Sultan, is IA
matter of not the slightest political moment.
As AN exile at Bagdad or elsewhere, he might
at some future period have become the center
of intrigues and the source of trouble; but his
influence over the present course OF Turkish
politics ceased from the moment Of his deposit
ton. The revolution was too sudden and COM
plete to leave any remnants of power behind
it. He had already spoken his last word and
been hustled off the stage: his death is simply
the final assurance that he cannot return to it.
With every day the course of events, which
we have already indicated rs most probable,
moves little further. Every day Servia
draws little nearer to the frontier, toward
that position where, with Bosnia as her right
and Bulgaria as her left wing, she will become
the center of formidable line Of battle,
facing toward Constantnoplc. Her soldiers
can already see the far blue peaks of the
Balkan. filling the whole horizon to the south
east. and are burning for the opportunity to
seize and hold that strong advanced line.
Secretly encouraged by their Slavic brethren
Of Russia, and understanding the instinct OF
that empire as completely as If 1t were set
forth in a protocol, they care little for formal
diplomatic advice. Still less are they likely
to care for the anxious mediation OF
Austria, whose Prime Minister, Andrassy,
as Hungarian. prOvokes all the preju-
dices left by the ancient enmity be-
tween the two races. The action OF Greece,
equally with that Of Servia, presupposes the
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1876-06-06
CUF1P TELEGR4PHING.

Gen. Eckcrt yesterday announced rcduc-
ton in telegraphc rates from Cincinnati to
New York and all points in the country east
of the Missouri TO twenty-five cents for a
single message, with proportionatc reductions
for the press. To the thousands of Republi-
cans who will be in Cincinnati next week
this is a great economy, and to the press OF
the country it is a genuine and substantial
service. 1t is reported that thus far Gen.
Eckert has found his account in the various
reductions; and the public, which in these
pinching times wants to see the cost of tele-
graphing brought to hardpan "a soon as
possible will sincerely hope that he has.
Does Mr. orion mean that Gen. Eckert shall
constantly take the lead of him Does he
wish to serve notice upon the pnblic that he
will make no reduction i'll rates, save where
his alert rival pitchforks him into it Here is
a dispatch 10 The Chicago Tribune from Peoria,
Illinois, giving an account of public
meeting to protest against the fact, that-sincc
the Atlantic and Pacific lines do not reach
Peoria-thc Western Union will give them no
advantage from recent reductions. Thcreupon
they decide to make Il final appeal to the
Western Union, and III case they cannot
get n hearing, to arrange for build
ing branch line to the nearest Atlantic
and Pacific station, forty-six miles distant
The Western Union will not be wise to en-
courage this sort of thing. The building of
telegraph lines just now is cheap affair. At
the very outside it cannot cost over 500 a
mile. With that fact staring them
in the face, it is idle for the
Western Union people to imagine that
they can keep up oppressive rates
of telegraphng at every point which their
rivals have not yet tapped. Grudging conces-
sions to the public gain no good will. If Mr.
orion wants to make himself and his com
pany popular, let him treat everybody alike
Fair play and no favor is the soundest rule
in business, and the lowest price to the great
est number is the thing which nowadays Is
going to win public good will. The press and
all business men have common interest in
this, and they constitute public well worthy
of Mr.. OrtOn's consideration.
