GAIL HAMILTON, the brilliant Wash
ington correspondent of the New
York Tribune, in speaking of the Re
port prevalent that the President
would spend his summer at White
Sulphur Springs, takes occasion to
trace the character of the place.
We, the people. have not forgotten,
cannot forget, that it was at the White
Sulphur Springs that The magnates of
the South were wont-to meet and plot
treason and rebellion before the war
that since the war it has been the
headquarters of the most violent type
Of those who regret that the Rebellion
failed, and who have mingled with
their mineral-water and their julep the
loudest and deepest curses of every
thing connected with the Republican
party. The very paper which reports
the Presidents intention reports also
that the Springs ''are the headquarters s
of the old political leaders cf that sec
tion." We know what that means
1t is a place where Radical Republi-
can could not go bef) the war with
out risk of injury, and where he has
not been able TO go since the war with
out risk Of insult The Presidents
appearing there now will not be taken
as the measure of the growth of South
ern liberation toward Republican
principles, so much as the measure of
the departure of he President himself
from Republican principles. The
White Sulphur Springs enjoys the rep
utation of being the place where, IN
the Summer of 1860, the cable of trai-
tors assembled and finally determined
to break up the Union if Lincoln
should be elected. 1t is not soil on
which loyal feet can tread With grace.
The city newspapers may rend the
heavens with their clamorous apI lause
of what seems TO be the opinion of the
hour, but they cannot repr'ss the III
quiry among the sober Republican vo-
tiers of our quiet hills and valleys as TO
what it is that has made the President,
elected by their votes, so suddenly
popular with the eXtreme type of
Southern Demo :rats that he is well
come guest at resort where, / fear,
the name of any prominent member of
the party that elected him would be
hard to find,

Ii will be well for those who to-day
are counting upon the return of the
Democratic party to power, through
the means of a south SO solid and
united that throughout its whole ex-
tent, as now in Mississippi, no organ
lied opposition can be found, to re-
member what came of precisely such a
condition of affairs in 1856, when the
new party to which It gave rise first
took shape.-N. Y Tribune.
Is the Tribune going back ON the
policy" now that result point with
logical accuracy to coming events.
Who is there who lived at that day,
and especially of those who contribu-
ted fathers and sons to maintain the
government, that will forget what fol-
loved! As well might a man forget
his existence, or woman fail to re-
member the children of her love, as
that the people will forget that notable
era. But If the Tribune would init
mate that a war such as desolated the
country from '61 to IS, may again
come upon US, we think it counts un-
wisely. They will not risk another
reference to the arbitrameEt of arms.
They have a surer method. Diploma
cy will take the place of war; new
States Will be carved out of Southern
territory-notably Texas. which is
large enough for four, and which is
settling up rapidly, and when they
stand on an equality iu the Senate of

their Northern allies. despite theNorth

SOME Republican papers Cby far tie
feWest Lumber) are insisting that the
State Convention shall iudorse Hayes
Southern Policy. We he>iiate not 10
say, Il that that thing i done, it will
be q grievous iLirfak- Republicans
mean l. be honest and liberal; their
liberality leads them TO b. Iieve that
the President acted IRON honest In0-
tives. and a. he believed fcr tie BEST
interests Of the country, YET thsy 10
rot endorse the act. Ia fac: here is a
very large proportion who believe the
action was uncalled for and in viola
ton Of the principles for which they
all along contended. Their honesty
viii not permit them to accept an en-
dorsement of what they believeto be
wrong, and they will not be bound by
any action of this kind which the CON
vention may adopt. If it Is wise it
will content itself with an expression Of
confidence in the Presidents integrity
and his desire for the couHtry's welfare;
but leave to time the decision of the
question whether the policy adopted
has been one of wisdom or one OF folly.
a correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette. writing from Oberlin, the seat
of radical Republicanisn, say: lza
AS far as can learn there is not a
voter here who does not hope for the
best from the Presidents action. The
popular feeling is best expressed, per
haps, by the Hon. James Monroe, with
whom | have Just had a long and
pleasant interview. Ia answer to my
question as to the criticism expressed !
at Elyria, he replied, "Yes, criticism |
is the proper term; it is not dissatis-
faction exactly. We have thought |
that the same good might have been
secured in better way; the President
might have continued to recognize the
the Republican Governor of Louisia
ma, and correspond with him as such
official, as public officers are required.
If, then, the man so recognized had
been able to sustain himself with the
people of his State. there would have
been strong presumption thatthe right
thing had been done. But had tile rec
ognhed official fallen from his place.
the fall would have evi iently been due
solely to his own want of strength at
home. He could not have claimed
that ne had failed because compelled
to encounter the moral weight of the
Administration in addition to the
power of critics to say that his intiu-
ence. and that of his Commissioners,
had been exerted against the cause he
believed to be Just and right.

THE COSSACKS.

[Kischeneft Correspondent Of the n. Y.
Herald.
The Cossacks are divided into sew
eral cOrps-the CossacEs of the lJon,
the COssscks of the Ukraine, the Cos
sacks of the Caucasus, &c. Each Of
these divisions has q chief, who is call
ei an Ataman, aud holds the rank of

who has tho title of the ssAtaman Gen-
eral." The latter title always devolves

self aud his uniform and his horse be-
longs to himself. He wears 4 large,
round, low cap made of skin from AS
trakan, wide pantalOons stuffed into
his boots and reaching just below his
knees, the whole covered by kind of
overcoat buttoning on the back and
having three long flaps reaching to the
feet and fastened on the full length.
On his breast to the left and right in
vertical cases he carries six cartridges
at each side. In his belt he carries a
poniard. "A baldrick. hangs from his
right shoulder and passes to the left
side, where it supports saber in Il
leather scabbard. On his back, hang
ing from n bandoleer and wrapped in
case made of goats skin, he carries his
rifle. The Cossack always carries in
his hand a whip, with short lash,
which he calls ki,Ial. His horse is
small and rather ugly, and though he
is made of good stuff his form is some
what angular. To form an idea of the
Cossack saddle, imagine an ordinary
saddle upon which would be fastened
by strap a square leather cushion
about four inches high. This is the
season that at first sight one is so much
surprised to see this curious looking
cavalier perched up so high on his sad
die. He sticks ON his horse's back by
sticking his knees into the animals
sides with all his strength, which
gives the legs the appearance of Il pair
of pinchers. The stirrup is an equally
curious thing. The bottom is round
and thick enough, but from that up it
resembles very much one of those tin
boxes in which preserves are sold. 1t
has been already said that the Cossacls's s
horse is his personal property, and it
may be added that he turns it TO bust
ness account by hiring it out. Since
the arrival of the troops at Kischcnef
they have been the delight of the COL
legians, who, for rouble an hour,
have been enabled to make promenacies
on horseback in bands on these valiant
little animals. ~. ...-

THE FLAG OF THE PROPHET.

[('onstantinople Correspondence OF the
New York Mercury.l
The sacred emblem Of Turkish faith
will play a great role in this war. 1t
is dark green, about two yards long and
one and a half wide, and was original
~ curtain in the bedchamber of
Aischa, the best beloved wife of the
prophet, who died in her bed. When
Mohammed was on his deathbed and
about to take leave of his Generals, who
were about to enter upon a new cam
paign against the heather, the dying
prophet gave them the curtain that
overhung his bed as battle flag, so
that the faithful should forever remenl-
Der that they were doing battle for God
and His prophet. Ever since that
time, whenever the Cs,liphs went into
battle they took this flag with them,
but in later years it was resolved to car
ry this holy relic into battle only when
ever war of religion was being waged.
In 1888 the same flag waved from the
walls Of Vienna, and again whenever
the cause of Islam had to be defended
it was unfurled to rally the faithful and
and encourage them to deeds of hero
ism. What, however, is the most i'm
portant feature of this flag is the belief
that any Mussulman who fights and

tyr, for whom the portals of heaven are
opened at once. From the Caliphs of
old this banner has been sacredly re-
t,.ined by the Sutans of our day, in
order to inspire still more zeal in their
soldiers. Yesterday the unfolding of
this time-honored banne: took place
with great pomp and ceremony by the
Sultan, Abdul Hamid, in person, who
handed it to the Scheik- -El-Islam in
solemn trust. The latter was mounted
on horse literally covered with gold,
and, while holding the sacred banner
in his hand, he was accompanied by
the Sultan, himself also on horseback,
with sword in hand, through the prin-
cipal streets of Constantinople. Cour-
iers and heralds proceeded the two
high dignitaries Of State, and, pointing
to the unfurled banner, loudly pro-
claiming to the people that the war for
the faith had commenced. This morn
ing the same relic-Which the Turks re-
gard with the same holy awe as the Is
raelites Of old did the Ark of the Law
was sent under heavy escort to the
Danube, there to lead the Turk ish
hosts to battle for Allah and his
prophet.

Dom Pedro visited the Jewish Asy-
lum for the Blind in Vienna, and had
the children read Hebrew to him, ,occa-
sionally testing the proficiency of indi-
vidual pupils and smilingly correcting
their mistakes. The Emperor has
some knowledge of Hebrew, and de-
rives particular pleasure from it and
he is warmly interested in the care and
instruction Of the blind, and has erect
ed Il large asylum for unfortunates Of
that class in Rio de Janeiro. While in
Berlin, last month, he visited one Of
the synagogues. Before entering he
said to the sexton: "In my country it
is customary, ut the first visit to u
church, to taste little water aud salt.
Please get these for me now" After
these had been brought and put to use,
the Emperor looked through the edi-
flee, and had the sacred ark opened,
and the parchment scrolls of the Penta-
teuch brought forth and unrolled. He
then displayed his knowledge of the
language of Israel by reading aloud s,
whole column of the unvoweled text
before him. Before going away he
made a generous donation to the poor
box, and arranged another visit, to be
made with the Empress.
