4 NEW EASTERN TROUBLE.

The hopes of the Great Powers, in regard to
the settlement of the Eastern difficulty, have
received n sudden and somewhat harsh check.
Servia, so ready to accept peace month ago.
now becomes insubOrdinate and says she VIII
not have peace except upon her own terms.
She dsregards the extension Of the armlstlce
agreed to by Turkey, and, without asking per-
mi ission, resumes hOstilities. A few hours before
Lord Derby proposed for her tie restoration
of the status quo, as part OF the settlement
her Government declared that it would accept
nothing short of complete independence. Such
step, at the very moment when basis Tor
negotiation had been established, and Turkey
had been prevailed upon to recede from her
first demands, greatly disturbs, If it should not
disarrange, the whole proceeding. 1t Indicated
change in the resources no less than in the
temper of the Seryians for an immediate re-
sumption of the war without some important
accession of strength would be simple madness.
There is only one source from which such
strength can come-Russia. No one will sus-
pect that Power of acting directly, though
secretly in the matter, while cooperating with
other nations in the attempt at pacihcatlon'
But the evidences of popular excitement in
turing the existence of a foice greater than
the Imperial Government can control. Only
the territory of Roumania interyenes between
Russia and Servia, and the Government OF
Prince Charles could scarcely prevent, II 1t de-
sired, the steady influx of men and means
into the latter country. The action OF Gen.
Tchernayeff is convenient explanation for
Seryia, and Russia will hardly be annoyed to
find her own interests furthered by move
ment for which she is not responsible, The
situation threatens to bring about nice dip
lomatic muddle, whatever view may be taken
of it.
In England, the popular demonstrations Of
sympathy for the Bulgarians continue without
abatement. Lord Derby's speech on Wedncs-
day shows conclusiyely that the Government
has been forced to yield, and now proposes
terms of settlement identical in substance with
those of Mr.. Gladstone. There might be
speedy accord of the Great Powers, but for the
rampant attitude of Servia. If the war should
be prosecuted in the same defiant spirit III
which II has been resumed, another week may
quite change the aspect of things. The Ser
yians know that diplomacy cannot reach them;
thcy are beyond any compulsion but that OF
military force, which, if it should be applied
on one side by the concerted action of Europe.
must be equally applied on the other side.
Nevertheless, we are still of opinion tina this
new difficulty will be overcome. The approach
of Winter will put an end to military opera
tions on q large scale, and enable the diplo-
matists to bind the beligerents with few
more ropes of sand.

NEw.YoRK DAILY TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 90 1875.

entire loss on all leased lines in 1878,
the New-York and Canada included, was
1923, 662 AS, but the reports of operations of
the Albany and Susquehanna and Rensselaer,
and Saratoga, as given by Poor, show that
their earnings were $1,119,621 ga, and the
payments for interest and rentals on those two
roads 81, ,743,284 %; leaving as loss on those
two roads exactly the sum stated by the COM
pany as its entire loss on leases, $623,662 40.
Yet the managers admit that the New-York
and Canada involves an interest-charge OF
S24O,O 900, of which they most enthusiastically
hope that half wiU be earned this year. In
that case, according to their own admission,
the interest-charge and rentals are increased
by $4,000, and it is more probable
that the entire S240. 900 will have to be met
by the lessees. Moreover, we gave proof some
time ago that the rent charges had been IN
creased this year by the sale of Albany and
Susauehanna bonds issued in April, and
amounting to 81, $685. 900 in August. This in
wolves an addition of $111, $50 to the yearly
rental, though the managers carefully omit TO
mention this or any other increase OF debt and
charges. Taking the interest charge OF the
company at 81, ,05S, 120 the last years rental
at S623,662 on two roads only, the interest
charge on the New-YOrll and Canada at S24O,-
600, the increased interest on new bonds OF
the Albany and Susquehanna sold at Sill, 500,
and the taxes at $263,269, the same as were
paid last year, and the first charges now
amount to $2,296,7O1.
Inasmuch as the company's official statement
shows that its profits last year, exclusive OF
reduction of stock of coal, were only $2,229,-
369. it is evident that the earnings, even IL
rs large as those of last year, do fall below
I" the fixed annual charges" and ever since
Jan. 1 the condition has actually existed
which the managers scan hardly conceive"
But the earnings are not as large as those OF
last year. From Jan. l to Sept. 9, inclusive,
the coal tonnage of the Delaware and Hudson
was 1892, ,535 tons, against 2,18l, ,437 last
year to the same date, loss OF 9oS,9O2
tons. This means that the earnings have been
less than those of the same months last
year by more than S1,000,000. This loss,
and the increase of fixed charges, tnlly ex-
plain the fact that the company earned
nothing during eight months of 1876, PAID
its dividends wholly out of its surplus, and
added at least 81 $4,000 to the bonded debt
on which it has to pay interest. Yet this was
the result when monopoly still reigned. what
ia to be the result with decline of 40 per
cent in the price of coal 1t would be
waste of time to ask managers who are SO re-
markably slow in conceiving the actual con-
dition of their property, as shown by their
own reports.

and approval of his fellow-meD with the feel
ing that he had not been fattered, but that he
was, in fact, '' the noblest Roman Of them ALL"
There been no subtle suggestlonin this
quotation rs applied to Mr. Kelly, that he had
been engaged. like Brutus, in conspiracy
against anybody-say against Gov. lnden'
Judge Sinnott did not mean that OF course.
Nor did he mean that Mr.. Kelly was actually
a Roman of any degree, for his features,
though classic, arc not Roman. They might
moro properly be called Greek. In fact' we
suppose Judge Sinnott only attended
to say what is the truth in the
matter, that Mr.. John Kelly is the
most prominent and influential Democrat In
the land that he is more looked up to, re-
garded more as q leader, is more popular
more talked about, and moro admired, than
any other Democrat in the country. Ihls is
what Judge Sinnott meant when he introduced
him as +" the noblest Roman of them all" IL
was only what tho noblest Roman himself
wonld call hypothecated case" II was
very proper recognition of Mr.. Kelys posi-
tion as a statesman and political leader, at the
very front of the party. That is place when
can be obtained only by years OF perseverlng
labor, by long public service, recognlzed aDil-
ity, and undoubted integrity. Mr.. Tweed,
who is now on his way to this country in an
armed vessel from Yigo, held the position for
a long time. We do not now recall any par
ticular piece of craftsmanship which should
have given Mr.. Kelly this conspicuous posi-
ton. But neither do we remember any special
act of Mr.. Tweed's which gave him his lead
ership. We presume the title of each is to be
foundin the general average of his public service,
and what may be called the merits OF his oiii-
cial career. 1t is one of the charming features
of our politics that such men are recognized
and rewarded. "1he noblest Roman of them
"allm Could anything, after all. be loveller
than Just that tribute9 Judge Sinnot seems
uncommonly happy at quotation.
May we make suggestion Our DIS
tinguished fellow-citizen, Mr.. Eelly's prede-
cessor, is now on his way home in an armed
vessel from Vigo. He is, if we may be per-
mitted to borrow the quotation IN part very
noble Roman. Judge Sinnott ought to be ap-
pointed n committee to receive him; to meet
him at the wharf with a nice little quotation
of some sort Indicating to him that, though he
did not get any further than Vigo, we all
understand that he was on his way to Italy,
and believe that if he had only had the chance
he would have been one of the noblest Ro-
mans of them ale

The statement Of the Delaware and Hudson

one, both in its assertions and in its absolute

all the learning requirements, shrewdness, and ex-
perience usually appertainiag to that character
This being admitted, as we observe that Mr. Kelly
Is to make great many moro speeches, we trusa
that he viii consider himself personally yindicated
and will now devote himself less to personal mat
ters and to tho questions of the canvass. Thus
far he has done little except justify himself, and
promise every man pocket full and belly fall in
in the event of Mr.. 1Ilden's election. We presume
that he would rather stand high in Gov. Tilden's
estimation than in ours; and If he does not want the
Governor after election to consider him ass liter
ate or ilterate he had better stick TO the business
Of the canvass and postpone for the present the dis
cussion of the merits and demerits Of Mr.. John
Kelly, about which the minds Of men are not
at present very much excited.
The interest in the Centennial Exhibition ap-
proaches its elimination, and offers to wide-awaks
business men their opportunity. We are overrun
with requests from exhibitors to announce
how much this or that one has 30
cured at the hands Of the judges.
These gentlemen forget however, that this is .
matter which it is indispensable for them to advise
the public about. but concerning which the
public, if left to itself, can contrive well
enough TO get on without details. The ex-
hibitors who take time by the forelock
and lay before the public while the interest is
fresh, the full statement of the reasons officially
given for their respective awards are the men who
are going to profit by what they have received.
But if they don't do it themselves, they won't find
charitable newspapers worrying to do it for them.

The fact that Democratic prospects in In
diana, as viewed by an accurate and careful
correspondent, seem to be improving, is only
louder call to Republicans to work. They
have, no doubt exceptional obstacles to over
come-a large Democratic majority two years
ago, financial heresy which affects their own
organization in greater proportion than their
opponents, and the blind adherence of the
ignorant Democratic masses to Democratic
candidates of whatever degree of unwOrthi-
ness. But the very character of the elements
of opposition should inspire them with that
genuine earnestness which is itself half of
success. Most people will adopt the feeling of
our correspondent, who sees the chances OF
Democratic success improving, yet refuses to
believe that they mean a Democratic victory.
Meanwhile in Ohio the canvass is quickening
and Republican confidence is rapidly growing.

The decisions of Commissioners of Internal
Revenue have been almost the sole reliance OF
Democratic journals in striving to show that
though Gov. Tilden, in the matter of his
income tax, walked close to the edge of Re
law, he at no time stepped over it. But now the
line of Commissioners is broken. The present
incumbent orders suit to be brought and his
predecessor gives his opinion, as an expert in
the law, that the real charge against Gov. Tilden
has not been met. The District-Attorney pro-
poses. it is understood, to carry both instruc-

eight years out Of ten, to make any income re-
turn. It shows that the option which Gov
Tilden claimed through Judge Sinnott to
withhold return was simply the "optiOn

HAMPDEN SIDNEY COLLEGE.

1t is very gratifying to hear that the Rev
DR.. Atkinson, President of this venerable in.
stitutiou, is meeting with good success in the
agency he has been prosecuting for an in
crease of its endowment. The noble gener.
osity shown by the people in Halifax county
was noticed some time ago. Our readers
will now be glad to learn that in Norfolk
and Petersburg the good work has been met
with like spirit of liberalty, the Subscrip-
tons amounting in each place .o about S.
600. In the flush times her years
this would not be considered large but in the
depressed condition of affairs at present,
even these amounts are raised only by Sc,
rious effort on the part of many. DR.. At
kinson went last week to Fredericksburg,
where it is understood he has also had an
encouraging success. When did good old
Fredericksburg ever draw back ? Who does
not know, How that in great trial of sfflc-
ton, the abundance of their joy and deep
poverty abounded unto the riches of their
liberality." When it is considered how
much money they give, (the banner church
of the Synod of Virginia. and how prOfusely
her sons and daughters have been given to
other places, Hampden Sidney ought to
honor her at its Centennial celebration next
June, with this toast" as poor get making
many rich"
DR.. Atkinson will in due time visit Rich
mond and other places in his noble under
taking, and it is hoped that wherever he pre-
sents this question of eudOWment-its useful
ness and indeed it's absolute necessity our
Presbyterian people will rise to the " height
of this great argument" and carry the
scheme forward to happy result. AS sue
cess can hardly be looked fer from a
few large donations, let it be distinctly i'm
pressed upon all that it can be secured by
