We have no doubt that the examination ia

We shall De glad to publish any notice Of
it. as indeed of any matters of interest from
West End at any time. The numbers in
the Chrlstiansted School have largely in-

chiefly owing to the establishment OF the

School Inspector. Bat one thing that
struck US on Friday was the absence from
the examination of many who ought 10
have been there. We saw His Excellency
the Vice Governor and Judge Rosenstand.
But where were other officials Where
were members of the Colonial Council .
There were a few ladies, and there were
three clergymen. But where were other
ladies and gentlemen whom one thought
to see? Conspicuous by their absence, as
they also were from the Country School
examinations in September. And yet, If
there be anything in the world in which
our people ought to take aninterest, it ia

GENERAL NEWS.

According to Telegraphic dispatches re-
ceived from the seat of war up to the 9th
ul.imo, the position Of the Turks in Europe
apncars 20 be somewhat less favorable than
heretofore.
General Ghourko whose appointment to
the command in the rear Of Pleyna. we
learnt on the 6th ultino, has succeeded
in capturing q strong position at Dubnlk,
controlling the road 10 Sophia and com
plotting the Investment OF Plevus, and ii, as
we learn on the 25th u!timo, OSman Pasha
is suff ring from scarcity Of pFovisions.
the position of the Turks within Pleyna
must be precarious.
The Russians are said to be building
forts around Plevna similar to those erec;,
ed by tn. Germans before Paris, and they
are exhibiting increased activity in their
tactics. which is accounted for by the Daily
Nsws correspondent, as Incumbent up
them in order to avoid a winner cAmpalga
which ia said to bs " i'm ossiblo." In
which casa they must needs hasten
to improve tn ir dig lomatic position
or they will find the Porte has its own
n%cculiar notions as to the terms Of peace,
and the evacuation OF it's territory.
With regard 10 OcnlPMA ass vac 'o"i"
that Saleimm Pasha haa silenced the
Russian Fort; let us hope that ne IS
satisfied wita this tarly and partial sue
cess and with the reckless slaughter to
which he has submitted his troops in order
to obtail it.. AS he has been so recently
promoted, il would appear that 8 ucce's
at any coat is the "slne qua nOn' OF a
Turkish General.
From Asia we learn that Mukhtar
Pasha's army has successfully effected a
junction with that Of Ismail Pasha, aud
we expect to hear shortly of stubborn and
determined resistance to the further ad-
vance Of the Russians, from these CON-
bined forces.
From France we gather that the poll
tical position is still unchanged Several
papers of different political opinions have
recommended consiliatory policy. which
will be needed should the Governments
persist in their expressed discrimination
to "proclaim q state Of SIEGE if the result
of the election proves contrary to their
wishes, and "neither submit, resign, ncr
resort to- coup d'etat, but secure victory"
which announcement certainly appsarat to

GIVE HIM FAIR SHOW.

All true, patriotic Americans will join
heartily in commencing any plan which
will bring peace and order to the distract
cd South and any political party whose
preservation and perpetuity depends up
on keeping up the old antagoDisms over
the late war, deserves 10 60 by the board.
The Republicans have more interest in
making this a happy and united land
and upholding an administration which
believes in strictly adhcring to the con-
stitution aud the laws than in spending
all their time in clarifying their party
record of the past aud fighting their
battles Ger again upon the ruins of law
and order. We believe Gen. Grant to
have been one of the best Presidents
the country ever had. Wo believe that
he pursued his Southern policy in good
faith, having only at heart the interests
OF the Union. We believe that ain ost
the entirety of the Republican party in
dorsed that policy. We believe the par
ty itself need offer no apology In sustain
ing in the main President Grant and his
policy. His policy at the time was snppos-
cd TO be right aud the best thing for the
South. But it proved failure. This
President Grant admitted when be telc-
graphed, by his Secretary,to Gov. Pack
ard, March 18th, 1877, the following
words:
"The President directs me to say that
he feels it his duty to state frankly that
he does not believe public opinion will
longer support the maintenance of the
State Government in Louisiana by the
use of the military, and he must concur
in this manifest feeling"
A new administration, undoubtedly
holding to the Same opinion with Gen.
Grant: that the late policy was failure,
proposes to vary the line of action to-
wards the South. Let trial he given
of the now plan. Beyond question
all good Republicans must at. heart
wish for an early settlement of the
Southern difficulties. The plan pur-
sued by the last administration resulted
in placing the settlement out OF question.
The new policy seems to work admira-
bly, so far and may be that which is to
eventually solve the perplexing problem
in n most happy manner. Wait.
