The REPUBLICAN CoNvENTIoE.-To the
surprise of the majority of the white / co.
pie of Whining .on, what has been sneer-
ugly termed the Ring" led by Lentle-
men gu 'ty Of such bold acts of fraud
that the word "dirtiness" is re.orted to
by the chief organ of their party as ap-
picable to them, carried every thing
their own way ia the Repubf can Conven-
tion, in Dover yesterday. Even DR.. John
S. Prettyman, the Internal Revenue Col
lector, and editor of the PeniaSulor NerS,
who had been indulging in silly, dirty lit
tie f ngs at Messrs. Pickles, Gala CHER,
Febiger and Baker, who re said to be
here the leaders Of the Ring, was uncer-
enormously given TO understand that he
would not be allowed to 60 to Cincinnati.
So the would-be United States Senator
has to take back seat at the dictum of
the "Ring;" and the niggers," whom he
helped to use as CLUB" upon Demo-
Gratis now slap him in the face with their
hands all besmered with "dirtiness."
The people OF this State will now un-
derstand for themselves the vote Of the
negroes in this city. They need no long
er rely upon the GAzE1 TIE to be convinced
that the neL-o votes influence the cleo
tion here. They are told this by the
chief organ Of the Republican party. And
the same influence extends to the whole
State. The negro vote was as necessary
to MIR. Blaine as it was to the Council
man of the eighth or the sixth Ward,
without the negro vote Mr.. Blaine could
not have carried Delaware at the Cincin-
natl Convention. A1dit comes to this that
only the negroes and about one-fifth of
the whites will be represented in that
Convention. Bristow has no show in
Delaware that is certain. The negroes
will not to,ch him. Belknapery and
Babcockery" rule the roots.

LONDON, Sept. ga deputation headed by
the Lord Mayor presented to Earl Derby to-day
resolutions passed by meeting on the Eastern
question, held at Guldhall, 18th inst. Derby
said:
You may be quite sure that the government
cannot underrate the strength of the popular
feeling which has undoubtedly shown itself SO
strongly in the last few weeks with regard to
the Bulgarian atrocities. apprehend we all
agree in principle as to what ought to be done.
shall in few days be able to publish des-
patch sent to Mr.. Elliot, the British Ambassa-
dor to Constantinople. He has been directed
to interview the Sultan aud lay the facts fully
and unreservedly before him, to denounce by
name those persons indicated BY Mr.. Barring
as the principal authors of atrocities, aud cal
for their punishment He has also been direct
ed to represent the urgent necessity for reliev-
ing the suffering caused by these atrocities
Special attention is to be given to numerous
cases of the abduction of women, and thew
must be searched fOr and returned to their
homes.
In regard to convoking Parliament, Earl Der
by pointed out that this was course only
adopted under the most urgent circumstances,
such as declaration of war, but in the present
instance there are no urgent measures to pro-
pose to Parliament 1t is suseess to summon
Parliament to influence these negotiations, for
if things 60 as smoothly as we hope, it is proba-
BILE that all the most material points will be
settled between the powers before Parliament
peace or Europe or the Turkish Empire would
be broken up. He then discussed various poll
cies which had been advocated. He concluded
as follows: Il certainly believe we shall see
this matter brought to- ar issue without any
fresh effusion of blood Do not imagine YOU
can settle the eastern question saying what YOU
wish cone. The question is, what under the
circumstances possibly can be done.'
Review of the Situation,
LONDON, Sept. 28.-The Times despatch
from Belgrade says there is much to fear Prince
Milan and bis ministers are no longer their
own masters in the question of peace or war.
If the war is continued and everything points
that way, it will be a Russian war in
Servia until it becomes something more
1t is stated here on Turkish authority that
the Porte is averse to formal armistice be-
cause that would iufame the fanatic element
with which it would be unable to cope. For
the same reason the Porte may be afraid to
consent to conditions of peace submitted to the
powers. But the crisis admits of no hesitation.
believe the only chance of peace and it is
no more than chane, lies in Turkeys prompt
acceptance of all the conditions of the powers
That is also her own best policy, for in week
there may be different army in the Servan
field. Hundreds of Russians are arriving daily
For one officer at Belgrade in Servian uniform
you meet twenty in Russian. The situation is
most alarming tor the peace Of Europe.

The Austrio- Hungarian government cannot
allow any doubt to be entertained on the point,

sequences sought to be drawn from such an act
would encounter its determined protests.

reply favOrably to the peace proposals Of the
powers. 1t has been decided that an elective
council shall be created. Ii will be omposed
of thirty Christians and thirty Musselma Its
object will be to Garry into effect the reforms
