All the possibilities of peace or war in
Europe and the future of Turkey, of Rus
STA, of Austria, and in some degree Of Eng
land, turn upon the theoretically insignif-
cant, yet practically important point what
man shall be made Governor of Bulgaria |;
for this Governor may determine that
those projects Of reform which Turkey
has declared her purpose to apply,
and which the opponents Of Tur-
key scout at as farcical illusions. shall
be visible and effective realities. The
Conference had no other purpose than to
endeavor to secure from Turkey, on behalf
of the people of Bulgarin, just what, under
the new constitution, would be guaranteed
to them by Governor of the right sort; and
thus the ground on which Russia stands,
and in virtue of which she has the sympa-
thy of great portion of Europe, would
be taken from under her feet by n
good appointment to this post. Not
only might good Governor practically de-
eide the issue open between Turkey and
Europe, but the mere exhibition of fair
purpose in the appointment of the tight
K1n0 OF mou Woulu gain tne TorIe tne Sooo
opinions and moral support of many Of
those who now believe with the Russians
generally that the Ottoman constitution is
but an impudent pretence and sham. Nubar
Pacha, named for the place. is respected for
his talents md is q Christian by origin, and
this was deemed guarantee but the Lon
don Times proposes the name of man emil
nently fitted Tor the place. This is Chinese
Gordon, who, having just reached England
from Africa, has been hastily summoned to
return by the Khedive; and there seems to
be a fancy that this summons has reference
to the service of the Sultan. It would be
unlike the Turks to make such an appoint
ment. and it would be happy stroke of adj
ministrative tact

The majority Of the Senate committee on
the Florida election reported yesterday.
The conclusions, are of course such as are
reached from strictly republican process
of investigation and reasoning, just as the
report of the majority of the House COM
mittee will be framed from democratic
point of view. The republican re-
port alleges that the Hayes electors
in Florida had small majority on the
face of the returns originally, which
was increased by process of pruning en-
tirely within the power Of the State Canvass
ing Board, and argues that Congress cannot
90 behind the certificate of the Board, al
though they may go behind the certificate
of Governor who is not returning
board. In other words they cannot 60 be-
hind the certificate which gives Florida and
Louisiana to Hayes, but may go behind the
certificate that gives one Oregon vote to Til
den The democratic report will declare the
black of the republican report to be white
and the white black. The exclusive partisan
ship of these reports illustrates the wisdom
and expediency Of the creation of an i'm
partial, trustworthy tribunal which will ex-
anime both sides and decide fairly between
the two. 1t is not worth while to criticise
the committee reports, since they are only
the arguments of counsel, as it were, each
supporting it's own side and leaving the
Judgment to be rendered by the court
in accordance with the law and the evil
dence.

WE GIVE TO-DAY some particulars about the

deserving but homeless poor for obtaining shell
ter Ivy night. It will readily be seen that great
additional good may be effected by those in
charge of these institutions if the benevolent

terials. The most that can he done at any such
place amounts to so much less than the COM

that pauperism will DC encouraged by the utmost

The Witness Maddox.

Maddox, the fatal witness in the
Louisiana case, has become famous, and
as every thing relating to him is now
erasped at with svidity, the following,
from the Baltimore Sun will be read
with Interest,"
Mr.. J. III. Maddox, who has recently
figured prominently in the .investiga-
.ion of frauds by the Louisiana return
ing board, was yesterday dismissed from
the Uuited States revenue service. An
exciting episode in the early life OF Mr..
Maddox, which is we'll remembered by
many citizens of Baltimore, is bis par
ticipation in a fatal dud during the
Mexican war with 1t. Mcpherson, of
Frederick county, Md. The result of
the encounter caused much bitterness of
feeling on the part of the relatives and
friends of 1t Mcpherson against Mr..
Maddox. 1t was always spoken of by
him as a subject of deep regret,
although he claimed his action could
not be avoided, under the circumstances.
The account given by gentlemen who
though not ey eye-Sitnesses, were never
the less familiar with the details of af-
fair, is substantially as follows-

If the tradition, superstition, legend.
or whatever it is, about the effect OF Mr..
Ground Hogs movements upon tho
weather, for the six weeks Immediately
following the second day of February,
has any thing of truth for its founda,icn,
then our winter is bankrupt for the
present. and will require about nine
months recruiting strength before ven-
turing upon another campaign OF ireez-
ing and snow.
At this writing the bright sunshine
and the scarcity of snow which SO late
ly wrapped the earth in its chilling
folds, seems TO indicate that G. III. stock
is a safe investment at this time, though
the future may make change in sael,
speculations.
Here We are getting away from tho
iresideS, where We have been laying
nearly dormant for several weeks, and
are making some little attempts at work
ing, and hope by daily practicing to be
able to do something after awhile.
Our Debating Society is live ins,i
tuition, Notwithstanding the general
staguatiou. The next subject for de-
bate promises a spicy forensic treat, and
is stated in the following terms "Re.
solved, That the Infueuce Of Money 10
more powerful than the Influence OF
Woman" We could spare some argu-
mentative talent 10 the Legislature,
should that body at any time come to
need such an article.
Speaking of the Legislature suggests
the thought that there is now pros
pect of that body settling down 10 busi-
ness, since the Senatorial contest has
been so well disposed of.
Mr.. James Hammill, Committee Clerk
to the House, again has our thanks for
valuable State documents. Mr. III. Is
the only member of the House who has
thus remembered Templar, during tho
present term, consequently the favor is
the more highly appreciated by the re-
cipient
1t is to be hoped that the Legislature
will do something advantageous to tho
interests of the Jefferson Agricultural
College, at least enough to get the in.
stitution started. The College will be
a grand thing for Jefferson County, If
it once gets under way.

A Detroit real estate agent, says NJ
Quad, was waited upon yesterday by 1
tall man with a weed on his hat, whC
said he had the cash to pay for farm
provided he could get one to suit. The
agent smiled him seat, and brought
out a register of descriptions. He had
several farms registered on his books
and he had no doubt he could suit bi,
would-be purchaser. The stranger re-
marked:
"What / want is farm Of about 800
acres"
"I've got it" replied The dealer.
"I'd like about six big hills on it,
"Here she is-here's farm with just
six hills on it."
"And Id like lake near about the
centre"
"Here you are. Here is lake eI-
actly in the centre.
"And want big natural cavern in
one of the hills.
"Here you are. There's cave on
this farm that can't be beat.
The stranger drew a long breath and
went on:
81 want farm of 800 acres, but 100
acres must be marsh land
"Here she is, was the reply "Just
800 acres in the farm and 100 acres in
marsh land"
81 must have a water fall 26 feet
high on the farm" continued the stran-
ger.
"Here you are. This farm has nat
ural water fall of rs feet IL inches.
l don't suppose an inch more or less on
a water fall amounts to much"
"Well, no but l want a windmill on
one of the hills.
"That was put up last year. was the
calm reply.
Il was sometime before the stranger
thought Of anything else, but he finally
said:
"There must bea baptist church right
a cross the road from the house
"One built there last summer, sir.
SIT must be brick church.
$50 it is."
"Has it an organ 7"
lit has"
"Then l can't buy farm Of you"
said the stranger, rising to 60. elf there
is anything / hate it is a church orgao,
and you can see for yourself that l
would be in state of continual misery.
The farm suits me frstrate, tut 1 can't
go that organ.
