Phe Chicago Times puts it pretty
s:r1ngly, but probably not too strong,
in speaking in this fashion:
The second act in the greatest

decision that a man who has been
formally and lawfully rejected by the

lBEN BUTLER.

Ben Butler has written another letter
intended to be sarcastic. but which il
really excessively stupid. With the object
Of injurinG President Hayes in the ssti-
nation Of the public. and bringing con-
demnation on his Southern policy. 1t
IL q noticeable fact that whenever the
opponents Of the President, in the Re-
publican party. write letters to private
persons, these letters invariably get into
print. Tho natural inference Of every
reasonable man is. that they were
written for the express purpose OF being
Published. in order to prepare the way
for splitting up the Republican party
when Congress rsassembles in October.
The men who are engaged In this in.
famous conspiracy are no better nor
worse than JEFF Davis, who was willing
to kill his party and ruin his nation. in
order to crafty his ambition. Rule
or ruin " Is their battle cry. and they
generally succeed in running the party
which sustains them, IS JEFF Davis
ruined tho South.
Ben Butler has nov virtually declared
against the President and the great Re
publican party which sustains him. His
particular grievance is, that Mr.. Hayes
refuses to be governed by him and men
like him. who seek Congressional posi-.
tons. not that they may benefit their
constituents. but that they may rule the
Administration. and control the Federal
patronage. President Hayes refuses to
DO controlled. and hence Butler begins
to oar. The past record VI this man Is
sufficient to make his present onslaught
upon the chief Executive OF no account.
Hs WAS a Democrat 50 long as It paid
him. Then he became q Republican
when he thought that Democracy Was
dead. Aud now he is trying to form a
new party when lie finds that he cannot
control the President. Comment IL un.

An rNrrnELy DECLARATION.

A dispatch from Vienna to the Lon
don Standard credits the Grand Duke
Nicholas with making the following
statement to aforsigu Consul: "Nsithsr
Prince Bismarck nor Lord Derby will
prevent US from entering Constanti-
nopls, as the Germans entered Paris,
ouly to leave it again" OF course 1t Is
impossible to say upon what authority
,hi. dispatch IL based. The Grand
Duke may have made such q remark. or
he ma not. II he did make 1t. he was
either drunk or il not nt to occupy tbs
position Of Commander in Chief OF the
russian army. 1t has been the Clar's
policy from the beginning to enforce the
imprsssior on Europe that he was night
ing only to procure the amsliors,ion Of
the Christians. OF course nobody be-
iieysd II. but the declaration placed 1t In
the power Of Europe to intervene at any
moment when Turkey sued for peace.
md either force him to grant the prayer
or take an active part themselves III tbs
w.r against him. Nov comes the sadsr
Of his armies and make the bold asssr'
,;on that he will not pause until the
Rn.sian dag Ia hoistsd over c~onasMn'i'
nople.
". believe that this report Of b de-
el.aiion Of Grand Duke Nicholas IL
true. for the reason that all the world
knows that this wal Was undertaken Tor
thu purpose Of conquest. and that Con
stantinopls was the objective point. by
securing the Bosphorus the Car gains
the control Of the Black Sea, which he
has not had aimee the Treaty Of Paris.
lie can enlarge his navy. and increase
Lis merchant marine. and thus build mp
the IN u his Empire. by doing
this he would leave behind him n name
greater than that Of any Of his predecss-
,ors. But in order to do II. Il was nee
,-sary to blindfold the jealous eyes oil
England, ami this was done BY OF
the most successful strokes Of diplomacy
ON record. Tho Grand Duke. by his Ill
tined assertion has swept away all the
results which that diplomacy might have
..curel.
Nobody believes that the russians, II
they once enter Constantinorle,. VIII
ever leave il. unless elected by force. II
il altogether too valuable a possession
to be rslinquishsd II once gained Al
Europe has cast longing eyes upon 1t fo'
wears, aud Great Britain. finding thai
sh. eould not gain 1t herself. has aided
tho Turks to keep it. in order that other
AMI more powerful nations might be
kept out. This declaration Of the Grand
Dukes will serve to strengthen The wal
laIty in England. and may ultimately
result In an alliance between Great Brit
ain AMI Turkey. which will plunge all
Europe into war and neutralirs the sf-
feet Of the successes which Russia has
already gained in Asia. We may yet see
n general European war after all; and
the Grand Duke Nicholas will be rssPon-
sibls for ii.
