The condition of affairs in Turkey gives
little assurance of peace, although strong
representations have been made to the
Sultan by the representatives of the great
Powers to induce him to refrain from
an attack on Montenegro, on the grounds that
the good offices of the Powers will be ex-
erted toward peaceable adjustment of the
difficulty. While apparently consenting to
this the Sultan does not abate a jot of his
war preparations, but is mastering his
forces for the struggle, feeling no doubt,
that it is inevitable. On the other hand, the
insurgent bands are also in motion, massing
for o great battle, which will be fought
whenever either side is ready to strike,
all the efforts of the diplomatists
to the contrary Notwithstanding. Ad-
vices from st. Petersburg give the situa-
ton more favorable complexion, citing, as
they do, the unanimity of the Continental
Powers in favor of peace as n guarantee for
its preservation. Although England has not
yet assented to the proposed arrangement
her consent is expected. 1t would seem,
however, that she is slow to entangle herself
in an alliance which would circumscribe her
freedom Of action should crisis arise. The
solution of the Eastern question is invested
with much more gravity now that direct
English interests in Egypt have been crea-
ated by the purchase Of the control of the
Suez Canal, and the English Minister of
Foreign Affairs will naturally endeavor to
secure for the English crown the Egyptian
portion of the wreck Of the Turkish Empire.

We cannot look with patience upon the
cratic candidate for the Presidency. Laying
aside all question of fitness, which we con-
cede for the sake of argument it is i'll becom-
ing party which claims power to reform .
corrupt government to take Presidential
candidate from the Supreme Bench We
have never elected President from the SUI
preme Bench. We hope we shall never fol-
low precedent which comes to us from
Mexico, whose President, Lerdo was formerly
a Judge. Yet there is scarcely q canvass in
which we do not have some judge scheming
for the Presidency. Judge Mclean schemed
to win the first republican nomination when
Fremont was taken. Chase went to his grave
a broken-hearted man because of his disap-
pointment We have Judge Davis candi-
date for this nomination now as he was four
years ago. We should impose upon our
judges a vow of political cehbacy. They
have no business to mingle in politics. A
high-minded Judge, such man as Chief
Justice Waite, for instance, was prompt in
his refusal to have his name even considered
for this Office. 1t degrades the Bench to
have its judges discussed in connection with
any elective position. 1t should be con-
demned by public opinion.
A Gum CAMpHoR PARrY.-No party ever
takes much root without name. This
seems to be the want of the Performers"
who are SO anxious to reform" the country
at the best possible salaries They do not
want to be called ''saints" or ''old maids"
or "Bourbons," for while each of these cpl
thets has value. neither is calculated to
inspire the enthusiasm of the country. But
in view OF what we learn about moths and
the effect of moth money upon the con-
sciences of General Garfield and Dom Piatt, I
why not have gum camphor party? This
is party that will win the applause of the
ladies, who are becoming power in politics,
and who would support gum camphor
party with intelligent zeal.

UNION REVIVAL MEETINGS.
The Proceedings in Different Churches Ye

terday.
The noon meeting yesterday was, as usual, we'll
attended. Rev. W. S. Hammond presided. Nr.
Stewart, of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tiOn, conducted the Bible-readng, commenting
principally upon that part of the 10th chapter of
Mark which describes the young man that came
running to Jesus, saying, "What shall l do to
inherit eternal life?' showing the importance Of
coming to Christ in youth and early manhood,
and consecrating the life to his service.
A large number of requests for prayer were
handed in, showing that there are many persons
still anxious that their friends shall be brought
to Christ before these revival meetings shall
close.
After prayer for the persons mentioned in the
requests, remarks upon the Bible lesson of the
morning were made by several ministers and
others.
Rev Mr. Little, ST., spoke of a Western man
whose attention was called to religion in early
life, but who had preferred political honors to
those conferred by Christ upon his followers.
Mr.. Graef mentioned the case of the conversion
of young man whose wife was Catholic. The
wife became very much enraged because her hus-
band was interested in the revival meetings.
The matter was referred to the priest, who said
he believed in the liberty of conscience and told
the wife she ought not to interfere with the pre-
dilectiOns of her husband.
DR.. Noble remarked that there appeared to be
silent work OF the Holy Spirit throughout the
city, and spoke of the case of young man he
had met that day, who had been recently con-
yeTted and who was trying to live Christian life,
notwithstanding his family were all against him
Rev. Mr.. Kramer, city missionary, gave some
very interesting incidents occurring in his rounds
of duty, going to confirm what DR.. Noble had
said with reference to the work of the spirit.
The noon meetings are continued every day
this week at the Assembly's church, and general
union meetings this evening and tomorrow even
ing at the Congregational church. A children's
meeting is to be held at the Calvary Baptist
church Wednesday at O'Clock p. m. and a union
meeting at the same church on Friday evening

lasted until near midnight, all cares and troubles
being thrown aside and the hours given TO social

not the slightest thing occurred TO mar the pleas

pretty and the lighted Chinese lanterns among

tul appearance.

The Washington Monument Fund.

To the Editor of the National Republican:
SIR: l observed in the last number of the Cap
itGl communication, suggesting to the managers
that unless they walked up and show the coun-
try that they mean to make an effort to finish the
monument, the attempt-which it says Colonel
Suit is making-tO raise penny collection will be
in vain. The society has about $4,000 available,
and how can it with that amount of money un-
cover the monument and put men to work, as the
correspondent recommends? The machinery nee
essary to carry on the work would absorb that
sum.
TIE great mistake the public makes is in rela-
tion to the subscriptions recently made by benevO
lent and other secret organizations They are
regarded as So much cash in hand instead OF being
cOntingent-the money to be paid when the whole
been subscribed, and not cent before there is IN,
doubted assurance Of that fact. When the re-
ceipts and expenditures are Of sufficient amount
TO Justify monthly publication Of them, the sug-
gestiOn Of the Capital correspondent in that re-
spect will no doubt be complied with; but to DO
SO now would only excite ridicule and subject the
country to the imputation of meanness and want
of patriotism.
The Monument Society has appealed to the
finish the monument, viz: To the people indyid-
ually TO the clergy, to the electors ut the polls
to schools, TO National banks, to Masonic and
other benevolent associations, to the managers
of the Centennial Exposition, to State Legisa-
lures. and to the Congress of the United States,
and the response to the earnest petitions has not
resumption of the work. Now If the fault.hnders
with the Monument Society would direct their
arrows against the public and stimulate 1t to open
its purse, If they really desire the completion Of
the monument, they would be more likely to at
tain their object in this way than by enormously
accusing the society Of want Of energy and effort
to raise funds for the completion of the monument
The society has resorted to every possible mode to
accomplish that object, but up to the present
time sadly in vain.
All that is necessary to finish the monument
and that speedily is money. 1t cannot be erected
by any other means, and unless the society is fur
nished with the funds necessary TO accomplish
that object it is not in the slightest degree re-
spOnsible for its unfinished condition, and no
governed by proper sense of Justice would Gen.
sure ii in any manner whatever. The editor Of
the Capitals friendly to the monument, and on
kindly relations with most, and 1t may be all Of
the members Of the society, and would no doubt
cheerfuly publish this reply to his correspondent
If asked to do so but 1t is deemed advisable to
confront without delay the wrong impressions the
communication might make, 1t has been con-
cluded not to wait until the next publication Of
the Capital, n week hence, but to request you to
let It reach the public through the columns of
your daily paper as early as possible.

a MEeh-Needed Comfort.

Mr. VIM H. Fletcher has recently patented an
ingenious combined pivot, slat and wire gauZe
screen for railroad car windows, which has the
happy facility of excluding all dust, cinders and
sunlight without obstructing the view of the pas
sengers or interfering with the free admission Of
air. This is a comfort which has long been needed
by the travelling public, and will undoubtedly
meet with unbounded success. Mr.. Fletcher has
obtained several letters patent upon ii, and claims
by the use Of his invention that any railroad can
be made perfectly free from the great discomfOrts
which so annoy the travelling public.
