LONDON. Jan s-The Times correspondent at
Vienna telegrsphs that there is every hope that
the differences between Roumania and Turkey
will be arranged. Turkey has already informed
the Roumanian government that the Porte never
could have any intention Of altering, by an act Of
internal policy, the position which Roumania de-
rived from International treaties. According to
the latest account, GeneralTchernsyef VIII not
return to Servis, but viii go to Nice. His
thorough Disgrace 10 probably owing to orders
from Ruesta. Tho difference between the Ser
Wan government and the Russian volunteers has
been settled, Tho men are to continue to form
separate corps, under their own officers,
with General Nfkitin rs their commander. ~
One Of Lord Beaconsield's characteristics.
Says the London Figaro: In capacity for mani
testing contempt Lord Beaconsheld is without
rival. In the days Of his opposition, when MUIR
murs of discomfort were heard in the Conserva-
tive camp and when Liberal orators assailed him
with pumped up perorations, his ICY contempt al
most oonsoled his party for defeat, and to those
who knew him was marvellous. The face was i'm
passible, save that now and then there was
momentary expression Of mingled scorn and de-
rison; yet the nature of the man 10 not fmpassi-
BILE, but ambitious, passionate aud imaginative.
The attitude Of the Conservative leader was also
singularly impassive. He seemed perfectly at
ease, 90 that the spectator who heard the fervid
rhetoric Of Liberal orators thought Of water being
poured over ducks back, or of an iron clad being
attacked with split peas shot from o pop-gun.
When Mr. Disraeli replied to attacks upon his
policy his speech glittered with singing cpl
Grams, delivered In Q voice Of which the predomi-
naut quality was scornfuness.

The Secretary of State has received q letter
from the United States consul at Liverpool. Civ.
ing particulars Of the loss Of the schooner Della
o. Yates, Of Damariscotta, Me-, which 1t will be
reelected was run into and sunk on the 4th Of
November last, In the English channel, by the
British steamer West Indies The facts related
under oath BY the pilot, David Rowland. by
the captain Of the schooner, and as Transcribed
from the schooner's log book, show an exhibition
Of careless indifference Of human life on the part
Of the ofeers Of the British steamer which should
meet with universal reprobstion. It seems that
the accident occurred about 7o'clock ct night.
The schooner had All her lights burning, and I'D
hered strictly to the regulations governing the
right Of way Of vessels on the high seas. The
steamer was discovered to keep her course, re-
Salied, and whsn shs struck the Yates, which
sunk IN ten minutes thereafter, afforded NO a.
iistancs TO the crew, though the wives OF the cap
tain and steward wore on deck screaming for
assistance. The pilot and captain CT the schooner
called Sevefsl times 70 the officers Of the steamer
r. throw rope in order to get the captains wife
and the stewardess on, and no notice was taken
Of the appeal; and the pilot succeeded In climbing
on board the steamer, where he SEIZED rope snd
threw Il to the schooner whereby the women were
Aoisted on board the steamer. The crew Of ths
schooner then clambered up the sides Of the
stsamer as best they could, and fortunately no
lives Hare lost. - II

LONDON, Jan. s.-A special to the Daily News,
dated Constantinople, Sunday, says the situation
has again become clear and well defined. Tho Euro
pesn Governments have Instructed their repre-
sentatives in conference to refuse to consider
Midhst Pasha's constitution, and to present on
Monday what is really the European ultimstum.
The Powers are very determined, and undoubt-
edly mean to try to force the Porte to sccept
their proposals. The plenpotentiaries will give
the Porte until Wednesday or Thursday for .
hnal and direct answer. In the event Of . re-
fusal they have decided TO withdraw from Con-
ntion to yield, particularly In regard 70 some sort
Of an International commission, which q the

the people will be but little benefited by its
announcement. He also attempts to maintain
that the Law of Louisiana establishing the
Returning Board vests in It an unauthorized
power In respect Of the determination Of the
vote to be counted; as If this were tenable
objection to the action of that board, or .
question that can be raised or considered 10

But the climax Of ,,efrontery is reached
when he undertakes to lecture members of
the Cabinet for indecorous participation in
the campaign, and asserts that they have
systematically stimulated desperate measures
to carry some of the Southern States. This
is, to our thinking, unsurpassed assurance.
Even If the declaration were true, the fact
would not relieve the indecency Of the Utter
ance. But for the Governor of q State to
originate such charge against the ad-
mipistration of the General Government
is not only to be guilty of monstrous conduct,
in the light of the rules governing social aud
official life, but It is an act which brings dis
credit upon the Government, tending to
shake the confidence of the world In its sta
bility and thus becomes direct blow to pub
lie credit and q stab at the vitals of the
nation. ....-,... -

How far the Two Houses Shall Cooperate.
The handwriting Is seen on the wall.
"The joint committee Of the two Houses can
not agree." The truth is there is no neces-
sity Of their agreeing, for lthe provisions of
the Constitution are adequate to safe and
final solution of the Presidential question.
Representative Lamar has recently expressed
his opinion In regard to the contemplation of
the Constitution respecting the election of
President, in which he expresses belief that
the Constitutional provisions are ample for .
safe and satisfactory settlement of the Presl-
Dental question. He claims, however, that
the cooperative action of the two Houses Is
necessary to q constitutional ascertainment
as to who is elected. This is true, but the
question is how far is this cooperation neces-
saryl The Constitution says: "The Presi-
dent of the Senate shall, in the presence of
the Senate and House of Representatives,
open all the certificates, and the votes'shsll
then be counted" The CO operation of the
two Houses according to the Constitution,
then, means simply convention of the two
Houses, assembled for the purpose of wit
Messing the opening of the certificates and
counting of the votes. Under the twenty
second joint rule q case occurred in which one
House rejected votes. 1t is the only case on
record. The twenty. second joint rule is abb
rogated now, and the counting must be done
as it was always done up to 1857, when that
rule was first adopted. The only guide, then,
left for the two Houses is the plain and simple
paragraph, "The President Of the Senate
shall, in the presence Of the Senate and
NJ - d
tihcates, and the votes shall then be counted"
This leaves the two Houses as witnesses to
watch the President Of the Senate a. he opens
and declares the votes in ministerial capsc-
ity. This is the Contemplated cooperation
Of the two Houses" which Mr.. Lamar sees
in the Constitution.

TIE OFFICE.

At its last session, Congress passed an act re-
public lands in the States Of Alabama, Missis
sippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Florida contained
In section 23Os Of the Revised Statutes. Since
Land Once, who is responsible for the execution
Of its provisions, has been frequently beset BY
persons interested in the development Of the
lands In question and their utilization for agrl-
cultural purposes, and he is frequently appealed
to for his reasons for not at once carrying out the
Of r the P0Ssr land,
the States referred to were withdrawn from sale
and entry during the war, though 1t is not gen.
record, poots were len IN Condition
ing careful comparison and revision In order that
1t might be positively known what portions had
entry under The law. This confusion grew out Of
ofscsrs in those States with the Government
The work required to enable the Commissioner
to act inteligently in carrying out the provisions
Of the act above referred to would require the
labor Of fifty clerks for . period Of six months,
for the land records of those States would have
to be gone over with the same care and accuracy
ledger. But the Identical Congress that enacted
this law also passed an act the effect Of which
was to 50 reduce the clerical force In the Land
plication the ordinary routine correspondence can
ne act Is Should have carried with /. an increase
While the ia.t was that BY the act reducing the
clerical force in the various Departments the
force under the Commissioner OF the Land Once
was reduced sixty clerks thus gripping the efi-
cheney Of the ONCE to an extent that the public
business is in danger Of injury for want Of clerks
to perform It In proper manner.
When all these facts are known It VIII be I'M
derstood why It 10 impossible for the Commis-
sionert carry out the provisions Of the law re-
ferred to with that prempsness which seems to
be expected by those who have an interest in its
execution '.as early e. practicable" The present
force of the Lad Once, intending copyists, Is
about one hundred and forty clerks.
