Prophecies and Hints In Europe.

Indications in regard to the possible up
shot of the Conference to be held at Constan-
tinople seem to be sought in Europe with
great avidity, and there are plenty of proph-
cts ready to foretell the political weather.
But the larger number of them resemble
rather the old-fashioned weather guessers of
the almanacs than the modern devotees of
meteorological science, who reason on q
large accumulation of facts. M. Theirs,
however, is man of such ripe experience
and such extensive knowledge of the condi-
ton of the nations of Europe that the
expression of his opinion on given prob
lem cannot be regarded merely as guess.
1t is significant that this veteran believes
there will be war. He may be mistaken;
but his view that the Turks will fight Russia
alone rather than submit to her demands is
made highly probable by oil that is yet
known Of Turkeys attitude. 1t is possible,
however, that Turkey may not be left by
native of war with Russia. England may
at last see such good reason to apprehend
the ultimate result of war between Turkey
and Russia as to be led to exercise
pressure to induce her ally to accept the
Slavic demands The hint from Russia as
to what Salisbury has probably learned at
Berlin and Vienna will not be lost. Its
boastful implication that Russia has tho full
support of the two Cabinets which are of
consequence and that she has only re-
Trained from making all the use she might
of this circumstance in order not to
precipitate unpleasant relations, is q
glimpse Of a revelation of which
Europe is likely to see the full real
ity at an early day. Protests against
the proposed constitution for Turkey seem
to be the order of the day. One is
made in Constantinople, another in St Pc
tersburg. 1t will seem more natural to the
world for grand vizier to object to con-
stitution than for sultan to order the pro-
gramne for the creation of one, SO that the
present reference to this instrument is more
in character than the one which came
few days since. But the Ministry
which advises the Sultan from stand
point of constant dread and apprehen-
sion of the softas, which is for or against
any policy, as it hopes or fears 1t may
excite or plaaate the fanatical elamenta- can

any sentiment but that Of horror at the
dangerous audacity of the proposition.
This objection to the COY ption is an in
dication, doubtless. that 4 pftas viii not
hear of it. Russia evidently regards this
constitution in the light of sop to Gen.
berus-an attempt to satisfy European
opinion with guarantees of printed paper.
Since the constitution does not seem to de.
ceive any one we shall soon hear the last
of it.

The EVENING Posr had manly leading
article yesterday on the indefensible inter-
ference of the federal troops with the South
Carolina Legislature, an article which we
warmly commend and copy in another place.

the name of liberty and justice, but in be-

The Russian Fleet.

II is reported that the Russian fleet lately
in the Mediterranean is ordered to this side
of the ocean. If this be true the step is of
course, taken with a view to the imminent
likelihood of war. Should war occur be-
tween Russia and Turkey o Russian feet
could probably accomplish little for its
government in the Mediterranean, while, if
England should be party to the war, the
cooperation Of the British and Turkish fleet
lofty frigatcs no more. Against such a
danger it is now too late to take
tho security Of the ice-bound North,
for entrance to any Baltic harbor
is impossible. If the intention is to
givo these ships safe anchorage in
American waters our obligations as neutral
Power will require that the ships shall be
regarded in the same light as soldiers driven
to take refuge from the enemy by crossing
the frontier Should they use our harbors
ms security and then sally out at their con-
venienco to assail the encmy's ships this
would run into using our ports as base of
operations against Power with which the
United States is at peace, and this is forbid
den to our laws. Ii is not to be presumed
that the Russians have any such purpose.

The story OF Eliza Pinkston.

Governor Palmer, of Illinois, was right
when he said, before the Returning Board in
New Orleans on Tuesday, that the story Of
Eliza Pinkston concerning the murder of
her husband and the brutal barbarity with
which she herself was treated, must be in
vestigated. In fact, we go further and ask
why was it not before investigated? What
have the local authorities Of Louisiana been
about that such q piece of brutality, COM
mitted on the 4th of November, has at
tracted no attention has caused no efforts
of the officers Of justice to investigate it and
to arrest the perpetrators, and only now,
twenty -four days after its commission, is
made public. and then, not by the officers
of justice, not before court but for politi-
cal effect, before the Returning Board?
Louisiana has republican Governor
with powers, under the State constitution,
as great and comprehensive as those Of the
third Napoleon in France. Almost every
county in Louisiana has republican Sheriff
and District Attorney, and where one of
these officers fails OF his duty Governor Kel-
logg has authority to remove him and put
another man in his place. The Governor
has power to appoint and pay a special local
police in every county at his own will, and
in as great number as he sees fit; he has
authority to send q brigade of metropolitan
police into any county at his own will, and
has a steamboat at his command to move
them. 1t is his sworn duty to maintain the
peace of the State, and no Governor of any
State hes, under its constitution and laws,
such great, and, in fact, unlimited powers.
Why, then, the public will reasonably ask,
has this savage atrocity, for which even
Indians would blush been concealed SO
long? Why have not the republican officers
of Justice done their duty?
The attempt to impress and disgust the
North by dramatic presentation of this
gross and inexcusable outrage is certainly
unworthy. The assassination Of Eliza Pink
ston's husband and the brutalities practised
on her and her child have but an incidental
relation to the question which the country
is waiting to have decided by the Returning
Board. That body is to make fair and
honest count Of the State vote, to examine
impartially into charges of intimidation and
to throw out precincts where the evidence
shows there was intimidation or other action
by either party sufficient to prevent fair
election. 1t is bound to hear the evidence
of Eliza Pinkston and all others who come
before it; but the fact that such an atrocity
has been committed in one Louisiana
parish does not decide the State elec-
tion. except so far as that may be
influenced by the throwing out Of vote.
To telegraph wildly about it, therefore, and
attempt to use this case to infame and
prejudice the Northern mind is pure dcma-
goging. As cruel. atrocities as this have
been committed in Pennsylvania within the
year. Let the affair be investigated but
let the Governor see to it, too, that the mur-
derers arc brought to justice. Else it will
be thought that this murder is of interest to
him only as means to affect Northern
opinion.

The south Caroiin. Interfer.nee.

1t ought to be remembered that the inter
ference of the President with troops in
South Carolina has no relation to the elec-
toral vote of the State and can find no
excuse in such plea therefor. The troops
were used by tho President to control, by
the force of bayonets, the organization OF
the Estate Legislature. Federal soldiers
took possession of the State House, admitted
to the Legislative hall such persons as
General Grant chose to admit, and kept out
those whom it did not suit his purposes to
let in.
Now, where in the constitution does the
President find authority given him for de-
Gliding who are and who are not members OF
a State Legislature His duty is to PRO
tect" State against Invasion or domestic
violence" on the declaration of Legislature
or Governor that these are unable, with the
State forces, to repulse invasion or repress
violence. There has been no violence in
South Carolina, as everybody knows.
There has not even been threat
of domestic violence" although the
constitution is careful to warrant
no interference on the mere excuse
ofthreats. Where then, does the President
get his authority? And if in so grave a
matter as this he has acted without author
ity must he not be held responsible? If he
may post troops in the South Carolina State
House, and take upon himself or delegate
to any other person to decide who are and
who are not members of the South Carolina
Legislature, why shall he or some successor
of his not do the same thing in New York,
or in Massachusetts,, or in Ohio? When
federal soldiers removed from the Louisiana
Legislature in 1874 members pointed out to
them by an agent of Governor Kellogg the
public resented the outrage, but the Presi-
dent was not held to his responsibility for a
clearly unconstitutional act, because 1t was
said there was no danger that it would ever
be repeated. To-day we see it repeated.
Nor is this all. So unjust and inexcus-
able was the Presidents violation of the
constitution in his interference in Louisiana
that a republican Congress felt itself forced
by public opiuion and by the facts devel-
oped on an investigation to replace in their
seats the very men whom the federal troops
had by bayonets expelled from the Legisla-
ture In spite of this warning and expo
sure, in spite Of protests from the most
eminent men Of his party, General Grant,
after two years, once more sends troops to
take possession Of State House and once
more assumes to decide who are and who
are not members Of Legislature. Thus
for second time he sets precedent which
can surely no longer be held without peril.
If such lawless acts are overlooked to-day
who shall assure us that under another
President or another party these precedents
