A BrnmiaLnx AliOrney.

In the trial Of the case OF Tom Welsh
tor murder, in the Circuit Court, ye ter
day, Mr. Joe Woods, perhaps the young
est member OF the bar in the State, made
one OF the most eloquent and touching
appeals to the jury That has been made
IN this city for years. Several ladies
who were present were affected TO tears,
and the picture drawn by MIR. Woods,
caused u silence to reign throughout the
vast crowd ia the building which WAS
truly wonderful. In short That gentle
man surprised his friends by his mastery
ettor., and with experience, brilliant
md bseul career Is pictured for him III
the future in his profession. The ac-
quittsl o, Welsh IS due IL large meas.
ure to his Efforts.

of the expe rience of n native OF this State
in Pittsburgh: 1.-The West Virginia
granger who was yictlnized by conf

singular idea IN reference to that mag

puddles OF water, with iucks in them,

THE CONPRD.UISF.

There will be no surprise at tie prompt pas
slgc of tie Compromise bill by the House, or
At the moiorit. of Hos by which it was car
ricd. In fact, since the day Of its Introduction,
there has been no rCasonabie doubt OF IT'S
prompt passage hy both houses, or OF It's ap-
proya by The President.
We have cared AZ little from the beginning
to Disguise this fact from our readers as to
discgrlsc our own belief III the unc0nstltu-
tio.aIity of the bill, and its mistaken
policy. The final decision has been
recorded precisely as cur readers have been
taught to anticipate, and 1t only remains Tor
II. to hone that our forebodings OF evil to fol-
low NAV not be realized. There can BE no
doubt of the entire good faith with
wiich many of the best men of both parties
united in pushing this so-cdllcd compromise,
in the belief that it WAS the only remedy from
confusion and possible violence. The country
rose in its favor with unusual unanimity and
earnestncss. People were weary of dis
customs eager for a settlement on any
terms comparatively indifferent Is to who
should ne President, OF how he should be de-
clarcd They ONLY wanted somebody for Pres
ideut whose title would not be disput-
ed and settlement at once which
miyht open the way for rcyi-
val Of business. Constitutional discussions
were received with impotence. The c0notItu-
ticnal lawyers Of highest rcpute were thrust
aside, and the veg gentlemen who knew nothing
Of ,lr. Conhliugs legal abilities save from
Lis record as counsel for the Government in
the Phelps Dodye case, or for railroad against
the Government before his own Judge, and
against his own District Attorney, were
among the foremost to accept him now
rs superior authority to Mr.. Wil7
liam NJ. Eyarts in constitutional law.
Some Democrats favored the bill from prin-
ciple; nearly all from belief that it insured
the counting in of Tilden, and that without it
he had 10 chance. The independents generally

ceiyed yesterday, are explanatory In characVer
and apologetic IN substance. One point hardly
seems to have been correctly reported. AFTER
reducing her demands to q minimum, In order
To show "the refractOriness and il-wif Oh
the Porte. the declaration is made that "hence-
forth Russia thinks herself entitled to reckon
son the continued collective efforts OF Europe
"wbOse accord for common Interior action mas
"not been destroyed by the close OF the Con
ferencon of course not but what VIII IL
all amount tot TO force any "uiterlor actoh
upon Turkey against her will, is war-whlch
Europe means to avoid. Let Turkey stand de-
fant. as now, and how long will 1t be before
Memorandum" and Programmes become
ridiculons? The Ottoman Government Is 100
strongly intrcnched behind its recent victory
to surrender the position. As TO It's yieiuihg
NOW. of it's own free will, the reforms when
were demanded and refused, the declaration
sounds like irony. The mere attempt to 90 so
would probably provoke revolution.
I-pl,,s Russia is only endeavoring to pro-
long the uncertainty until the season for mill
tory operatOns, we are entering upon perlou
of long. hollow, and wcarisOmc ncgotatlOn'
The true difficulty is clearly enough seen by
European statesmen, and the two plain alter
natives OF the situation recognized lher
dipln,laiic defeat cannot be covered by talk
but so long as they are able to Keep on GiiA-
in;;, nothing worse will happen! Hence
auother Memorandum.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1877-01-27

The rosolutc attitude of Turkey is producing
its natural effect upon the Governments OF
Europc. 70 the first amazcmcnt at manl,cs-
tation which had been left ont of all previous
political estimates, now succeeds feeling oi
relief. The plcnipotcG;iarirs of The Christian
Powers have done their utmost failed, and are
returning home, leaving Turkey to bear the
responsibility of She situation alone, and Rus
sja 20 resist it by forcc-if she will UnqUestion-
ably. the other Governments can go no further
Even those who sympathize most deeply with
the Oppressed Christian subjects OF tbs Porte
must see that the Conference has made the
last step this side of war; and they will not
ask for thc additional step. England France,
Germany, and Austria can do nothing but
await the further development of events.
Russia's position, however is much more en-
barrassing. Through all the contradictory re-
ports which reach us from day to day, we de-
tcct a reluctance to declare war, which seems
10 less genuine than her recent desire to pro-
woke it, This reluctance is easily explained
The revcrses of SCryia have greatly strength
cncd the peace party there: koumania shows
no enthusiasm: the Catholic Christians OF 1'ur-
KEY are bitterly hostile, and the Magyar Gle
mcnt in austria plants danger in the rear Of
any advance. Ii is quite probable, moreover
that Russia, deprived Of sources of aid which
seemed certain, three or four months ago, IL
less sure of her own military resources. ~ any
case, she now sees that the struggle would be
long and severe, and ont of proportion TO tho
advantages which, jealousy watched 10y Eu-
rope, she might dare to take. or course, her
present embarrassment is treated with tender
consideration. 1t il 80 much the interest OF
Europe that she should not make war upon
Turkey, that her moderation is as cordially
complimented as if it were not necessity.
Nobody is deceived by such expressions the
simple fact remains that Russia is hunlated
aud weakened IN influence.
The terms of the proposed Memorandum. re-

favored it, either from anxiety that the oc-
cupant of the Presidential chair should have a
better title than President of the Senate could
give, or from profound disgust with the Louis
lana methods; and good many strict Repuo-
lcahs went with them either from the same
