RTSSL1N nIPLONACf.

The view expressed by THE TRIBUNE a
fortnight ago, at the commencement OF the
negotiations for collective protocol,-that II
was simply device of Russia to gain time
receives ample confirmation from the course or
those negotiations, thus far. She has evidently
relied. and with good reason, on the hesltancy
Of England and the FESTIVE spirit of Turkey
TO battle any general plan of agreement and
thereby strengthen her own position. In the
series of diplomatic skirmishes which have
been silently (and to some extent secretly
carried on for months past, all OF her moves
have been made with the most consummate
skill In spite of her seeming reverse, at the
close of the Conference, she Is now the
acknowledged mistress of the situation.
The plan of the protocol, to be signed by the
other European Powers, and then-provlded she
would accept it-imposed upon Turkey, does
not differ materially from that agreed upon by
the Conference. This is the strong point OF
Russia's position it justfes the protocol, gives
the latter the character of another effort for
peace and aids her in securing non-interven-
ton i'm case of war; The suspicion that the
MARQUIS of Salisbury did not correctly repre-
sent his Government at the Conference Is
strengthened by England's distrust OF the
present plan. But the situation OF England Is
now such that she will equally lose by its ac-
ceptance or rejection. In the former case, the
policy of Russia will triumph, and the indepen-
dence of the Ottoman Government be reduced
TO a shadow in the latter. war, the result
of which cannot be doubtful, will almost GER
tainly follow.
To ask that Russia shouid demobilize her
army Immediately is equivalent to asking her
to throw away the weapon which makes her
formidable in these political councils. More
over, it would require that the same demand
he made of Turkey, at Il time when the Mon
tencglin difficulty is unsettled, new troubles
breaking out in Bosnia, and the shadows OF
new revolutions lowering over Constantinople.
1t il quite evident, from the fragmentary and
conflicting intelligence which we receive day
after day, that the English Government is
perplexed and uneasy. But throughout this
continual mixture of insignificant fact and
portcnt0us rumor, one thing remains fixed and
positiye,-that Russia has the power to enforce
her policy in regard to Turkey, and that she
will enforce 1t, either by diplomacy or war.

TIE LOUISIANA DISPATCHES.

II is lust as we'll that the little miSunder-
standing with regard to Cen Augurs orders
did arise since it recalls 10 the attention of
the public the precise instructions under which
the commanding officer at NcwOreans Las
been acting since the 1st of March. On that
day President Grants private secretary telc-
graphcd to Gov. Packard 1.-The President
directs me to say that he feels it his
81 duty to state frankly that he does not be-
"licvc pubic opinion will longer support the
maintenance OF the State Government in
Louisiana by the use of the military, and

"Thc troops will hereafter, as in the past,
"protect life and property from mob violence
"when the State authorities fail, but under
" the remaining days of his official life they
:" will not be used to establish or pull down
other claimants for the control Of the State"
Gen. Sherman sent n copy Of this message TO
Gen. Augur for his government and infor-
"maiOn," and all the orders since given have
been in accordance with the principles therein
laid down. The troops have merely been
directed to preserve the peace and keep things
quiet. The recent kilograms to Gen. Augur
have in no wise modified the former mstrlc-
change will he made in them until a fall set
Element of the Louisiana case Is reached by
the political authorities.
In discussing plans Of settlement, both for
Louisiana and for other Southern States, it
will be well to bear in mind the sensible re-
mark of Gen. Grant, that "public opinion

State government by the military" However
the present difficulties may he disposed of, upon
this point the determination Of the American

gETJRING Legal TENDERS.

Secretary Sherman has great opportunity.
For his sake and for the sake of the Admin
istratiOn and the country, we urge him not to
neglect it, This week it will be his duty TO
retire legal tenders amounting to so per cent Of
the new bank circulation issued during the month
of March. 1t happens that the amount so to be
retired is unusually large. During the four
weeks ending March "a the amount of new
bank circulation issued was $l,SO3, $50.
Very little of this was issued during the three
DAYS of February which are included, and it
is probable that the amount issued this week
will bring the aggregate for the month to
$2,1O0OOO. This will require the retirement
of 81 $50, 900 in legal tenders.
Secretary Sherman, who secured the passage
Of the Resumption act has heard it called
"Sherman's Sham," but he knows, at least as
well as any other man living, that it coniers
tremendous powers. 1t is well that he, who
reported the act and has borne all manner OF
abuse from those who pretended that 1t was
empty and worthless, is now in position to
show the country how potent 1t was ana Is.
Among other things, as the Secretary well
knows, the act leaves it wholly discretionary
with the Secretary of the Treasury to retire
large notes OF small notes. He is compelled
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1877-03-29

to retire legal-teDder notes to an amount each
month proportional to the amount OF new
bank circulation issued. But he is not com
pelled to retire notes of any denomination
and il lies with him to determine whether the
notes retired shall be altogether OF the large
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS which are used only ny
the banks-or those smaller notes which burn
holes in peoples pockets, and powerfully re-
tard the adjustment of prices TO specie BASIS
According to the latest report OF the Con
troller. there were in circulation, June 80

There is q refreshing candOr in the state
ments of Gen. lgnatieif, who appears quite i'll
sensible to the Inequalities he received III En-
gland. lie speaks with perfect disdain Of
British craftsmanship, says the Government
policy Is not in accord with the sentiments of
the English people, and talks in an impcrious
tone of Parliamentary guidance. His further
announcement that Russia must have binding
and et1ectual guarantees places the policy
which he represents iii direct conflict
with the dominant party i'll England,
which is strongly opposed to coercion,
being very much in the same frame of mind
as the member who was in favor of a prohi-
bition law but was opposed to its enforcement.
As Gen. Ignatieff knows when to speak and
when to be silent, his declarations now imply
that diplomacy has reached its limits, and that
nothing can be gained by further reserve
The general outlook is warlike. Austria has
delayed putting her troops on war footing
owing to her crippled finances, but she is now
preparing to send 100000 men to the frontier.
Russia has already a Southern army of 100000
men organized, supported by reserve OF
12O, 900. On their part, the Turks are likewise
belligerent, the new Parliament having proved
as plant as any personal ruler could desire.

Two more model policemen posed before
the public yesterday on trial. 1t may be some
satisfaction to New-YOIkers to know that the
bigger brute of the two belongs to the Brook
lyn force. In each case the crime of the citi-
zen whom the policeman attacked seems to
have consisted in rashy disputing that
worthy's opinions and venturing to as
ser. some of his own. The New-Iorker,
indeed, merely went so far as TO carry
on a conversation with a friend which the Of
ficcr overheard This subjected him to abuse
and insult then, and further abuse and insult
and an arrest ten days later when he met the
officer again. This injury, however, scarcely
amounts to an iudiSnity when compared with
the sayagely brutal treatment which a Brook
lyn storekeeDer received at the hands o.
Officer Cleary, whose name is certainly worth
preserving. The testimony given yesterday
shows this to have been deliberate assault
the officer inviting friend to wait to see
" the fun and actually going into the store
to drag ont the unfortunate man, who seems
| to have done absolutely nothing to provoke the
attack. 1t is great pity that the character of
a whole police force should he sullicd by the
| wanton cruelty of one of its members. He

Mr.. Graham's Assembly bill to regulate the
performances of receivers of life insurance
COMPANIES has good object in view. The
winding up of receiverships has never been
sunny page in the history of these concerns
In the matter of possible reinsurance, the bill
puts discretionary power in the hands of the
State Department, which is certainly the best
thing possible. Some of the provisions OF the
bill. such AS that which proposes to fix a larger
premium for sick people who are insured, are
evidently impracticable.

Nothing specially new to people who are
familiar with the life insurance gossip of the
past ten years was elected yesterday by the
Assembly Committee on Insurance. Vice
President McCurdy of the Mutual Insurance
Company of this city quietly sat down upon
and crushed out of existence at least one very
old scandal. He testified that the amount pald
for the travelling expenses of the officers OF the
company had not amounted annually to sow.
The rumo, which this evidence etfectually as
poses of was, we believe, that S2o,ooo'
$50, 900, or $4,000 had been paid as the
travelling expenses of one OF the officers III Il
single year.
