We may therefore confidently assume that she
earnestly means to enforce her demands; that
she ia determined upon war in case they are
not fully conceded; and that she mas no sa'-
isfactory reasons, as yet, to expect ther coh-
cession.
On the other side, there are indications that
England will yield, even though the letter, no
less than the spirit, of the Treaty OF faIlS
sbould be violated. The plumbers OF the
Reaconsfeld Ministry are now generally
admitted by its supporters as well as
its opponents the threats OF war
are limited to q defense of COnstantinople.
If the question depended on England's de-
cision, there would be no war,-but what
will Turkey do7 In all the speculations
upon the crisis, in European journals,
the fierce, aroused, conflicting elements
existing in Turkey have not been adequately
considered. Yet these form the most i'm
portant factor IN the calculation. The Ottoman
Government cannot overlook its signal
successes in Servia, cannot yield the
very substance of that for which
it has fought after victory, without
losing its old authority throughout
the Moslem world. If war should come, this
is the point which will evoke it. Russia has
gone too far to stop short of war or bril-
liantly victorious peace. The neutrality OF the
German Empire, the weakness of Austria,
the reluctance of france. and the blum
ders of England, have combined to
make her mistress of the situation. Whatever
Turkey may yield, the other Powers cannot
help but accept, and if she refuse demands
based upon England's, but more precisely and
energetically formulated, they will have, Mt
least in the beginning, no pretext for assisting
her against Russian invasion.

TINE 1TJITUDE or RUSSIA.

The suImise of the correspondent Of The
London Times in regard to Mr.. Boxers inter-
view with Alexander III. at TzarskO-Sco (the
Summer palace, near st. Petersburg is prob
ably correct. Ii so, the circumstance that
Russia intends sending her Mediterranean
squadron to our ports, in view of the
contingency of war, denotes very strong an
ticpation of war on her part. She is not only
forcwarned: she seems also to be thoroughly
fOrearmcd. The readiness with which her
recent loan of one hundred millions of
rOublcs was taken mp in her two princi-
pal cities indicates, in the most emphatic
manner, the popular sentiment which underlcs
her policy When that sentiment, in any
country, takes such form, the pocket
becomes responsive to the pasSiOn,-wc may
be sure that the people are stirred to the very
depths Of their nature, and in savage earnest.
We must here repeat what we have already
asseIted-that the Russia of 1876 is not the
Russia of 1856, and that the statesmen of
England do not seem to appreciate the i'm
mense change which these twenty years have
wrought in the temperament Of the people.
When serfdom was abolished, 10 years ago,
it was like giving release to an explosive
pressure. The restrained intelligence, activity,
and political sentiment of the people had long
anticipated the change; and chiefly for that
reason it was accomplished without seri-
Gus disturbance. Russia now finds
her strength in what was formerly her
weakness. Instead of being retarded, her ira
dtional policy is stimulated by the very class
which was once cipher in her calcula-
tons. For the first time in her history,
she seems to have consulted the popular
sentiment and to have made 1t the
real if unacknowledged basis Of her action.

court recurring the board to give them GER
tifcates. But that very court had emphau-
cally refused to give certificates to these per-
sons. holding that this power belonged to and
could only be properly exercised by the Doaro
of Canvassers. .c
Now. it is the right of these non-certitied
persons that is in dispute; they are
contestants. But their admission as members
would have given to them the power to decide
their own case in favor of themselves. That
is what Gen. Hampton and u. 5. Senator Tor
don demand: it is what the Clerk OF the late
Assembly resisted. Do fair-minded men, OF
whatever party, think he was wrong to resist
Since the above was in type, we have re-
ceiyed ut very late hour, by telegraph from
Columbia, a letter from United States senator
Gordon complaining of THE IRIBUNES
strictures ON the South Carolina court
We welcome every communication that can
shed light upon the subject, and commend
Gen. Gordons defense of the court to the
careful consideration of falr-mlDded
public. He is partisan, but ne Is SIN
cere and truthful. We need only say this
morning that Gen. Gordon does not go 10 the
root of the matter. Perhaps the Returning
Board was wrong in refusing certificates 10
the Edgefeld claimants. On that point we ex-
press no opinion. Perhaps the court mas
heretofore claimed and exercised the power
of instructng the board as to the certincate9
it shall grant. On that point we have not been
fully advised. But we do know that under the
plain decisions of the United States supreme
Court. If had no right to NEEDLE WIN the
hoard and that if the board has committed
wrong. there is legal way to undo it. Our
quarrel with Gen. Hampton and Gen. Gorioh
is that they are not taking thar legal way
If their claim were perfectly clear one we
strongly suspect that they would not De III
such hot haste to advance it by doubtful OF
nnlaMfnl means.

far as statistics can determine, Ohio has MADE
greater progress both in lower and mgher
education than the older States. In respect TO
religious advantages it may be briefly men
toned that no State in the Union has so large
a number of churches. Thus pentlflly
endowed with the means of material, intel
lectual, and moral wealth, Ohio is certain to
stand among the highest in the roll of pros
porous States, and may justly hope for exemp-
ton from all great calamities except such as
affect the whole nation.

paragraph about the tendency of lampblack to
take fire on small proyocati6n has been going the
rounds of the newspapers. According to its state
ments a hand damp with perspration, the moisture
ON a winlow-pane or a particle of grease or oil, is
sufficient to start combustion in lampback factory.
The worlImen, we are graycly told, if they let
drop of perspiraton fall pile, instantly scoop it
mp with tho ampblack on which it lodges and care
fully carry the whole out of the building. All
which is very wonderful but, il appears not quite
true A correspondent of The Spectator writes to
that insurance journal that he has been lamp
black maker, and has had plenty of experience.
" Lampblacl" he says won't blaze" lie made
n number of experiments to fire it with water, but
never succeeded. Both when the galleries of the
factory were wet with vapor, and when the floors
were Hooded by high tide no fire ensued Lamp

themselves up to the point of ignition; but lamp

Greeks in a London publication. - There has
been great fire in Yedo. Japan.
DoMEsTIc-Both the Democrats and RepuD-
lcans of the South Carolina House met at the
same chamber each Speaker being on the stand; the
proceedings were gOod-natured; one Of Gen. kugers
officers announced to the Democratic Speaker that
the Edgefeld Democrats would not be admitted to-
day an address to the country is issued By Demo
cratic pastors and business men of New-Orleansj
Republicans have protested against the vote OF New
Orleans, - Congressman are arriving IN WASH

Yesterdays cold was the more severely felt
after nightfall because of the high wind. AT
midnight the thermometer marked eleven de-
grees below freezing point, and there IS SUI
ficient prospect of continuance to give good
hope to the skaters. 1t is curious feature OF
this fall of temperature that 1T was simuta-
neous with fall of the barometer the exact
contrary being the usual experience. This cir
cumstance may account for the prediction OF
higher temperature in yesterday mornings
Signal Service report. The advent of cold
weather should stimulate our local charities to
their utmost it will mavoidably occasion
much suffering among the poor.
1t is evident that Alexander III. will for bet
ter cause do as Napoleon Iii. did to provoke
war. The latter, it will be remembered had
the audacity to ask King William to promise
that the attempt to place the Hohenzollen
prince on the Spanish throne should never be
renewed The Prussian King of course per-
emptorily refused, and Napoleon had the pre-
text he desired. The Car is about to demand
at the Conference home government for Bull
garia. In order to insure its establishment he
will propose to occupy the province with his
winch has lost them other provinces, will re-
ject the Russian proposals, and state OF war
will ensue This is the opportunity the Rus
sian people seek.
Should the vote of the Republicans for
Speaker of the House be cast for Gen. Gar
field, who would thus be designated rs their
leader for the session. the choice would I'M
doubtedly fall upon the most available man
now in their ranks. The promotion OF Mr..
Blaine and Mr.. Dawes to the Senate left Gen.
Garfield not only the most conspicuous Repub-
lican, by former committee rank, in the House,
but left him at the head of one of the largest
minorities Congress ever Saw-if its victories
during the last session are remembered-by
reason of ability and OratOrical force. Gen.
Garfield has made slips in politics. He has
not always done just the thing that ought to
have been done, and at critical times his cour-
age has sometimes wavered. But there can be
no question of his sincerity, his capacity OF
leadership, and his indOmitable industry lie
will not make so brilliant a campaign as Mr..
Blaine, but his lead will be safe.

The Florida inspector who is so prOdigal of
his afidavits must be an interesting character.
First he swore on the Democratic side, then
on the Republican then he swore that his
second affidavit was made in consideration of
money paid to him by Republican, and goes
back, with all the zeal of a new convert, TO
his first story. Ordinarily the statement of
man who will admit that he has taken brides
is not worth the time it takes TO listen to it,
but it has been discovered that the second
affidavit was dated three days earlier than the
first one which it purported to retraet. Several
hundred votes turn upon this single count, and
it is interesting to reflect that the Presidency

The Chief of Ordnance complains with
some bitterness of the slender supply Of good
rifles and carbines to our army, and urges
that quantity of these arms of the latest
Springfield pattern should be accumulated. 1t
seems rather to aggavate his feeling on the
subject that there is n large supply of old
fashioned muzzle-lOaders and of altered guns.
1t may be doubted, however, whether the re-
port will meet at present public sentiment
favoring expenditure in preparations for unex-
pected war.

The inmates of our hospitals, asylums, and
prisons we're duly cared for in yesterdays fcs-
tivities, and there is very pleasant record of
the provision supplied and the way in which
they enjoyed it. At the Blackwclrs Island
Penitentiary, however, the holiday gave OPP
portunity to six prisoners who attempted an
escape. Most of them are already rccaptured
and will have cause to look back upon Thanks

from q bond would have Invalidated the
entire bond, either as a collateral or as
a marketable security. Any banker In
Memphis knows enough Of the rules Of
Stock Exchange to know that where a
full default has been made of an INSTALL
ment of interest, as of Jnly, 1875, Jan
uary or July, 1876, not N of those coH-
pons can be detached from the bond and
sold without in~validating the whole bond
for either of the purposes which we have
mentioned. II is therefore a matter Of
imposibility that there could have been
any buying up of these coupons by
spectators in anticipation of a payment
Of interest in September"
1t may have been such an impos-
sibility as described to buy these
coupons of July, 1875, but it has
not been an impossibility to buy the
coupons of 1876, for some were
bought from Nashville recently
through the agency of a Memphis
banker; nor do we admit that cut
ting off a defaulted coupon inval-
idates the rest of the bond as a col
lateral or as a marketable security.
1t might damage the bond, but lit
tie as we profess to know about
such matters we were under the
impression that in actual transac-
tons only the face of the coupon
would be deducted from the mar
ketable value of the bond. If the
Americans view is authoritative
and correct, and perhaps it is, a
good many bonds, We fear, have
been invalidated on the Stock Elk
change of New York.
When our Democratic contemporaries
in Memphis come to look camly into the
law and the facts in the case, we believe
that they will find and acknowledge that
they have unintentionally done Governor
Porter and the State officials great To-
justice in their allegations and sus-
picions.
There are two sides to all ques-
tions. We have endeayored to look
at both. The Attorney General
has done so and is not convinced
that the Governor is compelled to
pay out this money just now. The
next Legislature meets on the first
of January, or can be convened
sooner in special session to con-
slider this question. 1t will not do
any great harm to wait; an irrepa-
rable mistake will be committed if
Governor Porter adheres to his
first determination.
