There were urgent calls yesterday on
N, government from Gov. Hubbard Of
T.,I, for aid sufficient to rescue a lot of
al, ,lyenturers who have gotiutO trouble
ri,b Mezicans on Mexican soil. The
President has ordered troops for their
relief from our neighbOring forts, and we
presume that wat will not grow out OF
Il. uouble. The seat OF the difficulty ia
near FL Paso, point just over the line
and almost due south Of Santa Fe. We
have troops At Fort Stanton which is not
more than ljO miles northeast, and also
Al Fort Davis, a point lower down, and
these will no doubt prove sufficient to
ouell the disturbance.
iii, not impossible that a more eK.
landed difficulty may yetgrow out ofOur
border troubles with Mexico. She Is too
weak to suppress these troubles herself,
and yet under the necessity Of being
i,alou4 and resentful Of our interference.

that "All confidence" in President Hayes

Republican Congress he would pursue
the same course as his predecessor" We

0ur Wall Street Market report makes
mention Of rumors in New York yester.
dAy that negotiations are on foot between
Russian and Turkey for peace. There is
no doubt that Turkey Ia virtually seeking
for favorable terms from Russia. The
demonstration by the Magyar element in
Austria, at PeSth, on Sunday, to save
Turkey by the armed Intervention OF
Austria grows out of a desire 10 see a
Hungarian Empire formed out OF the
present borders Of Austria and the prov
inces Of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Aus.
tria will take no account Of such an
appeal 10 her. She will stand by
Russia, and so will Germany, The Eng.
lish Cabinet is holding sessions 10 devise
ways and means OF letting Turkey down
easy, but despite English sympathies she
is bound TO be shorn OF her power, il not
Of her territory, in Europe. The time
has come, in the estimation OF Russia,
TO deal radically with the "unspeskable'
Turk. Il she can expel him from Eu.
rope she will do it. Russia wants the
Black Sea and the Dardanelles, and Ger
many wants the North Sea coast.

We publish a note from Rev. Mr.. Moi.

Bhhop Kain's sermon on Sunday and our
comments thereon. Mr.. Mo(Tat takes
issue with the Bishop'sstatemen as TO the
views held by the reformers Of the 10th

as to the authenticity Of the exact
expression quoted by US, but Mr..
Moaat is, of course, as well aware
as We are that j! is a quotation that
has been current for many years in the
discussions on this subject. The precise
expression, however, is immAterial, mas.

stating it that Is the essential pointin the
case. This doctrine is not new by any
means. The generally accepted fact that
it has been held and taught publicly and
privately is not very likely to be an
error. We have the personal assurance
Of a respected clergyman, we'll known to
Mr., MOtiat, that he has heard the doctrine
