prize. A great deal of his time this winter
has been spent in cauvassing his colleagues
in Congress and he has been frequently ao-
sent from his seat on electi0neeripg 6nsi'
ness. No man has ever done more vigo-
rous and effective hand. shaking for an Of
fee. He has, however, pushed his for
tunes more boldly with the general pub
lie, which he cannot reach by means or
dinners and personal Establishments. In
his speech on the Amnesty bill, incOnsis-
tent, insincere, and illogical though IT. was,
he gave expression to powerful sentiment
in the North which had long been chahog
against the course of events and did much
to make the next canvass 6ght on the old
issue of one section against another. IL
was foul thing to do, bat it was the only
hope for partiEan triumph, and it cannot
be denied that the amnesty debate made
Blaine popular far and wide, and strength
ened his cause where his stand on tho reli-
gious question had made him known. His
oration Oh the currency issue was tissue

instead Of reading an essay on 1T. NOT
withstandiDg all his efforts, it seea to me
that recent developments of fraud in the
public administration have brought his
schemes to confusion for no man who was
prominent in politics during the reign OF
Grantism, and made no effort for purity
and good governments, can be a candidate
before the people next fall. The Speaker
of the Republican House of REPRESENTA-
tives, through his committees, might have
washed the ministrstion-thoagh it's
sins were redder than scarlet-sud made it
whittier than snow. He had the power to
perform this great work. 1t was his duty
to do it, and he failed through laziness,
subserviency to the Executive, collusion
with the plunderers, or utter imbecility.
His political epitaph may be written, there
fore, for the best elements of his party are
determined that there shall be new men
sent to the front.

1t was the Anti Catholic Movement which De-
&dsd tho Question.
IN. Y. SUM-

Bribery certainly had much to do with
the New Hampshire election, and so had
the dislike of disgusted Republicans for
Bourbon Democracy; but we suppose that
if the bottom facts of it are ever develop.
ed, it will be found that secret Know
Nothing organization, directed against the
Catholic religion and citizens of foreign
birth, had more to do with bringing out
the large vote and giving the Republicans
an unu sual majority than any of the other
causes which have been assigned for that
result.
This ball was set in motion by Grants
Des Moines speech, and has been kept
rolling on by the declarations of Republi-
can Conventions, by Blaine's movement
for q constitutional amendment, and
by other devices, all intended to get up
a false alarm on the 30 called school ques-
tion.
The Republican leaders saw inevitable
defeat staring them in the face at the
Presidential election unless the public
mind could be diverted from the corrup-
tion, frauds, and rsscalities of the Admin
istration. They tried various expediepts
without success, and fiuaily fell back upsn
revival of the old kuow-NothiDg ma
chine.
Grant was ready to start it on the as
surance that it would advance his pros
poets for o third term. The scheme had
been concocted in detail long before the
speech at Des Moines and at that signal,
societies were organized promptly in a
number of States. The fret practical ef-
feet Of this movement was visible in the
last election at Newark, N. j., where the
Democratic were defeated unexpectedly by
great majority.
This organization has taken root in var
ious parts of New England, aud though
political feeling, patronage, and money
contributed a full share to the recent

some extraordinary ibfiuence to bring out
to the polls such vote as was recorded
q week ago. There was no excitement in
the State there were no great orators on
the stump, and no unusual signs of interest.
Yet the aggregate vote is the largest
ever cast, and exceeds by many thousands
that of the most animated contest in the
State.
This result shows the working of po"er
which of late years newspapers and poll
ticians have not much taken into account ;
but it none the less is a real and effective
power.

NETWORK DAILY TRIBUNE, FRIDAY OCTOBER 90, 1876

London is this side of it lies an empire OF
more than two hundred millions of souls,
which England holds with firm yet an I'M
easy hand. To the Moslcm natives OF India
she has heretofore been able to present
herself as the friend of the successor OF the
Caliphs, and his ally against the enemy, russia
If now, for a time, she seems to give up inc
part, she will inevitably lose the moral advitn-
taye which she derives from It, Hence she
will be compelled to maintain an ATTITUDE
which indicates, at least, that she VIII not
shrink from hostilities when the moment Tor
action comes. While she has no immediate
pretcxt for engaging in war, and VIII refrain
rs long as possible, more than one contingency
might arise which would leave her no altcrna-
tive.
Upon the action of Russia, therefore, depends
the fate of Europe, and, it may be, large
portion of Asia. There has been no political
crisis, for centuries which directly threatens
so many nations and races of men. From the
Thames to the Ganges, from the Ural Noun
tains to the Saharan Desert, there is scarcely
a country which may not be affected by tue
war, if it should involve these two rival
Powers The statesmen who guide the policy
of Russia are fully aware of this. They
know the limits within which they
may weaken Turkey and aggrandize their
own Empire, without provoking the vast
conhagration. The question is, whether, know
ing all this, and willing to abnegate the tempt
ing chances opened to them by success, they
shall be able to check and control the forces
already set in motion. Russia will venture
tremendous stake when she marches against
Turkey; but she has gone too far to recede
Inasmuch as the Porte has made no formal
answer to her demands, there still seems to be
a ghostly chance of preserving peace. The
next three or four days will decide.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1876-10-20
FNGItND AND RUSSIA.


While all the explosive material is stored up
in the East, and waiting, like Gen. Newton's
dynamite battery at He'll Gate, for some finger
to touch the key, every movement seems mo-
mentous. Men find important signs i'll the
most ordinary occurrences, ard draw hasty
conclusions from very insufficient premises.
Although war is heavily impending, the word
which shall precipitate it has not yet been
spoken. Every day, however, forcshadows
more clearly what it will bring If it comes.
The action Of Greece, announced yesterday, Is
an additional sign of the new elements which
will be drawn into the struggle. But the cir
cumstance that the British steamer Jumna has
sailed from Portsmouth for India, with over
200 troops on board, and that she will
touch at Gibraltar and Malta for orders, is of
no particular consequence. Steamers for India
always touch at Gibraltar and Malta; and the
special announcement, in this instance, will
neither disquet the Russian Government nor
give hope to that Of Turkey.
Englands interest in the Eastern question,
nevertheless, is suggested by the departure of
this steamer. If Russia's designs Were limited
to the possession of Constantinoplc, they
might be carried out without prejudice, and
possibly with actual gain, to the intcreStsOf
England. But as far beyond the DOsphorus as
