Warliko Preparations.

From the reports received of the diplo-
matte cordiality at Constantinople it may be
inferred that all the great Powers will be
able to agree among themselves as to what
it will be wise and proper to demand Of
Turkey but the inquiry of importance is,
Will Turkey consent to do what they agree
to require? Turkey has always yielded
hitherto, and therefore it is commonly
thought that she will yield now; but
the kind Of helpless complacency
with which she has in the past ac-
cepted the will Of her powerful neigh
bors must have a limit somewhere--she
will certainly resist at some point--and
it is in the nature of her acts that when she
does determine to resist she will do it in
some sudden, unexpected and unlikely con-
nection. 1t is this fact that Turkeys actions
cannot be counted upon with any certainty
that still keeps up the possibility that war
may be the final issue of the deliberations
at Constantinople.
Russia apparently has little faith that the
agreement Of the Powers at Constantinople,
even if satisfactory to her, will be able to Sc
cure the Sultan's assent to the application Of
what she regards as the only remedy for the
evils of Ottoman misgovernment. She has
also abundant faith in her own capacity to
enforce her programme by arms. Hence
she does not interrupt her prep
arations pending the diplomatic con-
ference; on the contrary she urges
them forward, that she may strike
promptly and effectively if compelled to
strike at all. 1t is evident that the Sadowa
campaign and the recent war in France
have profoundly affected the military minds
of Russia with the lesson that to strike like
the lightning with immediate and tremen-
dous blows is the one great secret of success
in war. Hence the mobilization of one hun
dred thousand more troops and the inten-
tion to pass the Pruth, that the men may be
not merely under arms, but separated by the
least possible distance from the points at
which they are to act in case of war.
From the disposition indicated it seems
that Russia intends to give the Turkish
forces plenty of occupation if the Sultan de-
termines to fight. Three lines Of advance
are already developed from the Cau-
casus by way of Armenia, and two
in Europe. One of these is to be
by the old Russian line on Shumla,
Selimno and Adrianople; for this is evil
IDENTIFY what concentration in Eastern Rou-
mania means; and the corps in Servia is in
tended apparently to move up the Valley of
the Morava. Evidently the ridiculously
made by the Berlin correspondent Of the
London Times is not believed in by the Rus
sian commanders.

craftsmanship, that ell his fellow citi-
zens, of whatever party, who are resolved
to settle the controversy fairly shall
accept his leadership. But, in order that
he shall take this position, which, firmly
taken and steadily held, will not only save
his party from ruin but his country from
disorder, the first necessity is to emancipate
him from the bull-dozing influences that
now are exasperating his temper and warp
ing his will. Who can do this? We answer
unhesitatingly, that if it can be done by
anybody it can best be done by the moderate
republican Senators who now apparently are
holding themselves aloof from the executive
councils and abandoning the President to
the influence of the Chambers and the Cam
erons. Senators Sherman, Conkling,. Ed
munds, Frelinghuysen, Jones, Christiancy
and Burnside, not to speak of others, owe
the country duty In this relation. No
false sense of their Senatorial dignity, and
no dread of rebuff, can excuse them
from q speedy and earnest effort to re-
call President Grant to his former and
better self.
We especially urge this lofty duty upon
Senator Conkling. His personal relations
to the White House enable him to under
take it with an assurance of success He
enjoys such measure of the Presidents
esteem that he was his favorite for the sue
cession. He has held himself aloof from all
the acrimony ofthe political campaign. Often
before this occasion he has shown keen
sense of honor, high degree of indepen-
dence and warm spirit of patriotism in
public emergencies. In his instance OPP
portunity now waits upon capacity. 1t
is the crisis of his public career II he
will rise to its requirements, if he will speak
the words his country yearns to hear--words
to allay passion, soothe animosity and COM
mand the union of all moderate men-we
shall not mourn as now we do that the great
political leaders of our fathers-the Web
sters and Clays and Bentons-h have mounted
to the skies; for we shall know that the
prophets mantle has fallen upon as great
successor. Elijah has gone forever, but
Elisha will remain to Israel.

Wade Hampton'. inaugural Address.

General Hampton was sworn in yesterday
as Governor of South Carolina. He deliv-
cred an address which is reported in full in
our news columns. In this document he
recites, with great severity of indignant
comment, the proceedings at Columbia
during the last few weeks. But he only
protests and denounces; he does not
suggest any resort to violence. So
far from that he praises the moderation of
the conservative members of the Legislature
for their forbearance, discretion and peace
full demeanor under circumstances Of great
provocation. 1t is the right of an aggrieved
party to arraign and expose its opponents,
to demonstrate with warmth against
their injustice, to hold them up to pub
lie reprobation, and to resort to all
legal and peaceful methods for the redress
of wrongs. Governor Hampton could not
have been expected to "speak with bated
breath on such an occasion, and he will be
better able to restrain and control the pas
sions of his people and keep them within
the limits of the law by letting them seq
how fully he shares their indignation.
There can be no doubt that he
has acquired such a moral ascend
ancy over the citizens of South Carolina
that there would be no substantial oppose
ton to his government if tho federal troops
were withdrawn. He is able to preserve
peace, maintain order and tranquillize the
State from the instant that the right of local
self-government is respected. No intelli-
gent observer can doubt that every South
Carolina interest would be promoted under
an administration SO wise, just and consid-
crate as his certainly would be if outside
elements of disturbance were taken away.
Governor Hampton renews with emphasis
the pledges he made to the colored citizens
Of the State during the political canvass.
He alludes with grateful appreciation to the
large numbers Of them who voted the con-
seryative ticket, but he declares his
purpose and pledges his honor to
treat those who voted against him with
equal Justice. There can be no reasonable
doubt either of the sincerity of his promises
or Of his ability to fulfil them It is to be
deplored that the people of South Carolina
are not permitted to have o governments
which might be SO securely relied upon to
give them order, contentment and PROS
perity.

The Troops at Petcrsburg.

The message sent to the Senate yesterday in
answer to the inquiry whether United States
soldiers were stationed at Petersburg, Va,
on the day OF election, and if so for what
purpose, states that company was ordered
to that point and gives satisfactory reasons
therefor, provided that it is the duty Of the
administration to move troops hithcr and
thither on information that breach of the
pence is approhended. Many may ques-
ton whether it is proper or desirable
that the United States army should be used
as a sort of patrol for such purpose. II q
row had occurred at charter election at
Albany in the spring 1t would scarcely be
regarded as n good cause for sending federal
troops to that city to insure a peaceful
election in November. 1t is true the con-
dition OF Virginia may be different from that
OF New York, and we are not disposed to OBJ
ject to the use of the soldiers made by the
President in the Petersburg case. Never
theless the message Of the President would
have been more satisfactory and in better
taste especially at this time, if it had re-
Trained from casting an unnecessary and
apparently unwarrantable slur on the other
Congressional districts of the State of vir-
ginia.

THE WEATHER. the passage east
ward of the depression which is now central
in Western Canada and the northern part of
The Middle States we may look for short
return OF very cold weather at New York.
With the area Of high pressure in the West
the tom peraturc has fallen very low, tho
minimum at Fort Garry, Pembina and Bis
marck yesterday morning being twenty
degrees, twenty-six degrees and nine de-
grces below zero respectively. Snow was
filling last evening at Saugeen, Canada, and
Grand Haven, Michigan, with very high
winds on the lakes. Cloudiness prevails in
the Northeast and Southwest, with rain in
The latter region. The sudden cold will
have the effect of closing the Missouri and
Upper Mississippi and Ohio rivers with
heavy ice. The temperature, will, however,
ouickly rise again in those watersheds and ice
gorgcs will probably be formed which may
prove as destructive as that as st. Louis.
Precautions should, therefore, be taken to
guard all floating and otherwise exposed
property from the descending bodies OF ice
The depression now developing in the
Northwest will prove genuine storm
centre if the present indications can be
trusted Its course will probably bring it
nearer New York than that now passing
through the St. Lawrence Valley. In New
York to-day it will be colder and partly
cloudy, or cloudy, followed by very low
temperature and clearing weather.

following up the orders of his superior, is

the President as a traitor to the constitution

the forbearance hitherto exhibited by the
Democrats will continue to animate them to
the end, which cannot be far Off From
Florida we learn that the tools Of the

before the Returning Board.
TALLAHASSEE, November 3O.-The board Of
calyaSSers met at ten O'Clock this morning. Alachua
county was called and passed, and Baker county
taken up.
The Democratic managers called attention to the
fact that the second return from Baker county, be-
side the point of ilegay brought against IT yeSter
day was signed by justice of the peace appointed
since the election that it not certified to in the
county clerks Office, and that the county clerk was
not summoned to attend the canvass upon which 1t
based and that the official precinct returns we're
omitted from that return and false result reached
The Alachua county testimony was listened to with
interest The Democrats first offered testimony that
the alleged affidavit from Green r. Moore, purpou-
ing TO deny certain facts In another affidavit he had
made, was dated and executed the twentieth, while
the affidavit he proposed to retract was dated and
the affidavit puTpOrting TO be from Floyd Dukes
square forgery. They then introduced Moore and
Dukes, as witnesses.
Moore swore specifically that all the points IN his
affidavit of the twenty-thrd were true; that he had
stated the facts therein cOntainad openly time and
again: that he was Inspector al Archer, and that
Only 316 votes cast or cOunted that 535 votes
were not cast; that lie signed the election certt-
Gates IN blank, not thinking there could be any dis

Barnes, the Republican sheriff Of the county who
offered him one hundred dollars II would sign pa

told that ne would not; he then signed the pa

This paDer was the one produced by the court as a
