was never sought Russia was dominant and
iubilant, and a final note was prepared at Ber-
lin to be presented in the name Of the three
Emperors who were parties to it. Enervated
and helpless, Abdul Aziz would have accep-
ted the note and himself and his country have
been put into the power of Russia to be dealt
with at some convenient opportunity in pur-
suance ofthe policy so steadfastly kept in view.
At this juncture a great and powerful British
feet appeared on the scene. England refused
to be party to the Berlin note, in the prepar-
alton of which she had not been consulted.
The Turks, excited by new hopes dethroned
their Sultan, discarded the counsels of the
Russian Ambassador, and threw themselves
entirely into the hands of the English Ambas-
sador who had so long been treated as a nom
entity at Constautinople. Europe was cleo
trified The Berlin note so carefully prepared
and so osteutatiously made known, was pru-
IDENTIFY withheld, as it was certain the new
Turkish Government would refuse to receive it
and maintain its right to deal with internal af-
fairs in its own way. The Continental news
papers are filled with rumors and reports con-
nected with this sudden and effective il terpo-
sition Of Power they had considered out Of
the reckoning. England and Englishmen are
now all popular IN COnstantin0ple. The Am
bassador and his wife are cheered wherever
they appear, and England is using her inilu-
ence to secure for the Christian populations the
liberty and rights for which three Emperors
have been trying in vain. OF course great in
terests are affected, but the holiness of the
move has for the moment paralysed Russia
1t is believed that England has not moved
without securing an ally, and opinion is divi-
ded as to whether the ally is Germany or
France, But it is quite certain that at the first
sign of Russian invasion the English fleet
would be put in motion, Constantinople occu-
pied, and the Turkish army supplied with ma
terial and skilled leaders as well rs probably
an English cOntingent-at a very short notice.

The currency bill passed its third reading.
A spasmodic attempt was made to have
lunches provided for the members but the
time is not ripe for such action.
The bills amending the "master's and ser
wants " law reported by the special committee
passed on their second reading. The bills es-
tablish days labor at nine hours where the
contract does not express to the contrary, limit
the term of Imprisonment for violation Of
terms Of labor contract, and repeal all remedy
for collection of any sum paid as an advance
to the laborer.

THE Appropriation Bill comes up on its
third reading tomorrow, and it is to be hoped
that the Assembly will improve the opportu-
nifty to reduce the item for the support of a
standing army" We have more than once
given expression to our views on this subject
during the past few months, and can only re-
iterate that we believe the institution to be
useless as a national arm of defence, and its
maintenance to be an imposition upon tax
payers. The paid standing army was in
stituted by the late Mr.. Wyllie, Minister of
Foreign Affairs, War and the Navy, about the
year 1852, chiefly for the purpose of repelline
the invasion of pirates or ilibusters, concern
ing whom there were many rumors rife at that
time. The result has proved these fears to
have been groundless. There is not the slight
est possibility of our army" ever being call
ed upon to repel foreign invasion, and expert
ence has shown that in case of internecine
disturbance 1t only adds another element Of
danger.
Two volunteer companies,-one Hawaiian
and the other white, which might be kept up
by an appropriation of $4,000, should be am
pie for all purposes of quelling domestic
trouble, and of show. The appropriation of
$4,000 for the band, which all approve Of,
added to this amount, makes $4,000. Re
feet, o Legislators, upon the amount of inter
nal improvements which might be effected by
a judicious expenditure of the SIS, 200 repre-
senting the difference between the above
amount and that which you propose to throw
away for little ''fuss and feathers Think
of the bridges which might be constructed, of
the roads which might be opened, of the irri-
eating canals which might be dug Think of
the school houses which might be erected, and
the school-books which might be printed.
We trust that on this the final vote the inert
common sense and patriotism of the House will
assert itself, and that the nation may stand
from so great a reproach before the
Eyes Of the world

THE news of probable war between England
and Russia, based on cable dispatches from
London to Governor Robinson Of New South
Wales-apparently from an official SOURCES
somewhat startling. Yet it seems very i'm
probable that these powerful nations will 20
TO war, bound together as they are by COM
mercial interests as well by marriage Of the
reigling families Still it is possible that the
war party in Russia, which has been very
clamorous Of late, urging the government to
make an armed Interference in Turkey-may
impel it to take a step which will call for a
movement Of the British forces, now in Bessi-
ca Bay, near the entrance Of the Darianelles.
England had NJ the latest advices 81 ironclads
stationed there. The Russian and Austrian
fleets combined, lying at the same port, mum
Der 20 vessels. Turkey possesses also 81 iron
clads in the same vicinity. In case of war,
the British and Turkish forces will be united
to contend with Russia, Austria and perhaps
Germany, though nothing has yet been said
regarding the position Of the latter power. 1t
1t TO be hoped that the war cloud may pass
from the horizon without bursting, and that the
peace of Europe may be preserved.

IL arOther column we publish the bill now
before the Assembly to regulate the currency.
Its main features are these:
lst--It establishes American gold as the
basis of all future contracts for debt in the
kingdom, which all will endorse.
2d.-It provides that silver shall be a legal
tender, first, in payment of all debts under
$50; second, one half of all debts from $50 to
500 shall be paid in silver, and one
half in gold; third, debts of from 500
to $1,000, viii be payable, one quarter
in silver and three quarters in gold;
fourth, debts over $1,000, 5 per cent. in silver
and So per cent in gold.
3d.-The value of coins other than American
shall be fixed as now, by the King in Privy
Council
4th.-A duty of ten per cent. may be i'm
posed on silver coin imported.
5th.-Customs duties shall be paid in Am
erican gold coin or its equivalent, from the
date Of the enactment of the law.
6th.-Interest on the public debt shall be
paid in American gold coin or its equivalent.
The suggestion which has been made by
Mr.. Davies, that 25 per cent. in silver shall be
the rule in all payments over $1,000, is
sound one, and would probably cause less de
in our business than the adoption
of Is per cent as the bill provides.
Sections S and of the bill are entirely IN
forimport duties as well as interest
on the public debt should be placed on the
same footing as all other obligations. A bill to
regulate currency should be simple and clear,
and not hampered with any unnecessary res
which tend only to create distrust.

We are requested by Mr. Hartwell to say
that it is not his desire that his name be
brought forward as a candidate for any public
Office, which We do with pleasure; and perhaps
We may with proprety add, although it will
doubtless appear superluous to his numerous
friends, that in making the nomination last
week for the CHARACTERISTIC, we did it with
out the knowledge or consent Of Mr.. Hartwell,
but were actuated solely by desire to promote
the public good, and to give expression to pop
ular sentiment. Thenumerous favorable COM
ments which we have received from all quar-
tiers since we made the nomination last week,
convince us more than ever that there is but
one opinion throughout the country on this
subject.

THE proposed lawn regard to stamps will be
found in full on our last page, and every per-
son should read IL over. There can be no good
reasons advanced for the enactment Of such an
odious law as this, which must become very
annoying to all, whether foreigners or natives.
To the latter particularly, it would prove
burden, and in many cases cause the forfeiture
Of their rights By ignorance or negligence. A
stamp act is always an obnoxious one. twas
such a law that caused the trouble between
England and America, which eventually led
to their separation The stamps now imposed
by law are comparatively light. Let these re
main, but don't try to pass law which can
only breed discomfort among the masses.

The two houses OF Congress meet to count
the electoral votes on the second Wednesday
In February-the 18th. Heretofore the vote
has been counted in few hours, but on this
occasion 10 is among the possibilities, unless
some definite system Is adopted in advance,
that the counting may absorb days, and even
weeks. Promising that a long and excited
discussion will occur in joint session, 1t must
end within the sixteen secular days before
March 4fh. or it will no longer be in the
power OF either house of Congress to decide
who Is President, and the presiding officer of
the Senate will act as President until a new
President is elected. The act Of 1872 on this
subjecs provides that when the Offices
OF President and Vice President shall
both become vacant the Secretary of
State shall notify the executive OF
every state, specifying that electors OF tn
President Of the United States shall b, an
pointed or chosen in the several states within
thirty-four days preceding the first Wednes-
Day In December then next ensuing, provided
mere shall be the space Of two months be

term for which the President an.fVice Presi-
dent last In ONCE were elected shall not ex

1he notification that the electors shall be an
