ONE of the most wonderful facts of the
war and one which ought to bring the blush
OF shame to every Southern white man who
has even indirectly encouraged the Ku-klux,
is that during the war while the Southern
white families were entirely at the mercy of
the colored people, not one suffered at their
hands. This is something no person before
the war would have believed possible.

THE free traders of France are straining
every nerve to obtain full recognition of
their favorite principle in the new CONNER
cial treaty with England, which is now being
under negotiation. That principle was the
basis of the treaty which, at the inspiration
and under the very eye of Louis Napoleon,
was framed by the great French and British
free traders, Michael Chevalier and Richard
Golden, in January, 1860. Only the wine-
growers of France, whose product was ad-
mitted into England at a very low duty, have
been satisfied with free trade. The manufac-
turing interests generally have complained
that they were largely undersold in their own
market by the British, and are opposed to a
renewal Of the commercial treaty on the old
terms.

THERE is undoubtedly much truth in the
statement that Austria is profoundly agitated
at the near approach of war between Russia
and Turkey, and may mediate movement
into Herzegovina and Bosnia as an Offset to
the Russian invasion of Bulgaria. The Aus
trians are evidently afraid that, in case of
war, there may be change of territorial stat
us, and fear that if the Russians get across
the Danube and sweep down through Bulga-
ria, they may absorb everything down to the
Balkan Mountains, and perhaps something
beyond them, in which case she would be
compelled to take Herzegovina and Bosnia in
self-defense, rather than have Russia swallow
them. The movement to occupy these two
provinces, however, must of necessity involve
Austria in new complications at home. 1t
would change the centre of gravity and bring
the Sclaves to the front, outnumbering the
Magyars, and constituting the prominent ele-
ment of the population and the controlling
element in the Government. The two COM

shadow Northern or German Austria, the is

secession of the German element to Germany.

THE New York Journal of Commerce
thinks that great war in the East will ma
terially benefit trade in the United States.
Such war, it says, "would create large
European demand for American grain and
flour and provisions of all kinds, and the
effect of this would be to stimulate manufac-
lures and business in.nearly every branch of
industry. Ocean freight would partake of
the improvement, and if England were
dragged by circumstances into the vortex of
the war, American commerce, having the
preference for the carrying trade, would get
start which it has not enjoyed for nearly
twenty years. Americans with these thoughts
In their minds, to say nothing of the concern
which they feel in the promotion of Chris
tianity and civilization in Turkey, will eagerly
watch every days development of the East
ern question:" On the other hand there are
well informed writers who believe that this
theory is fallacious, and that the wish is the
father of the thought. These writer's do not
think that the conflict will be general one,
but that it will be an exclusively Turko-
