THE CRISIS AND ITS DUTY.

Republican supremacy in the Senate has
vanished. There will be many a hot struggle
and the Republicans will retain, for some time
AT least, their organization, the control of COM
mittees and bare majority upon many par
tison questions. But they have been rudey
awakened to the fact that their unquestiOned
and complete mastery has departed. The fact
is not pleasing to any Republican, and it
must be particularly CALLING to those who
formed the well-knOwn Senatorial group, who
dominated so long in caucus and whose die
tation in the Senate was for many years
nearly equivalent to an ownership of the Re-
publican organization. A generous people gave
them almost absolute power How strangely
complete was the trust in their patriotism and
sagacity! The House proposed but they dis
posed. They made and unmade laws
at theirpleasure. Onlywhen they were divided,
and then only once, was a Presidents veto
sufficient to thwart their will. Confronted by
them President Grants plans of independence
and reform melted away like frOst-work in the
sunlight. So completely was he suppressed
by the Senatorial majority that the world
will probably never know what his intentions
really were. Strong soldier, obstinate, high
! tempered man, he soon consented to become,
in many particulars, little more than the re-
cording clerk of the Senatorial will. The SEN
ators directed, and the President obeyed.
| The Senate ruled the country The caucus
ruled the Senate. Twenty men ruled the
caucus But what has become of their vast
powerP How comes it that an insignificant
creature ike COnover or Patterson can cry
"checkmate," if he chooses, to Republican
| Senatorial caucusf
The question is interesting, and the answer
ought TO be instructive. Vast power was in
trusted to a few men, by the people, for the
the protection of the peoples interests and
rights. As long as this power was used for
the public good, 1t was not curtailed. But IN
time it was used for the party, and not for the
people, and then for tAcuon, moi
New-York tribune., 1877-11-23

for the party. Senators were excluded,
not because they were not lawfully elected,
but because the majority saw fit to serve
party friends States were long deprived
of representation, not because they were
not States, but because their elections
did not please the Senatorial majority.
Millions of citizens who cared not much Tor
party, but very much for country, became IN
dignant Republican maiOrties melted away.
Far-seeing and just Republican Senators pro-
tested, and a majority voted them down.
Made drunk with unrestrained power, the
Senators of the majority acted as II 1t were
impossible that they should ever be checked I;
they drove out of the Republican party with
SCOTS and sneers, those who questioned their
methods they denounced as traitors all VINO
criticised the abuse Of power for partisan ends'
The results are known. Northern States, one
after another, have been carried by sheer disgust
into Democratic ranks. In ore State alter an
other the power of the Republican party has
been shaken or broken, until there is now no
working majority in the Senate. Is it not plain
that the Republican party, in order to
regain strength, must make new appeal
TO the conscience and intelligence of voters
Must IL not consent 10 pub lOltNtI p'hihh ~
the methods which have made its course at the
South oifensive7 Must it not put an end to
the abuse of power for merely partisan ends?
Must it not Danish personal feuds, and quiet in
ternal strife Must not the personal fac
tions within its ranks make mutual con-
cessiOns, and turn their warfare away from
each other upon the common enemy7 Must
it not take its appeal boldly to the
country as the defender of the public
honor and the National credit, and thus
reconstruct itself as the sole remaining bull
wark between the already completed alliance
of the Solid South and Tammany Hall on the
orc hand and the National Treasury on the
otherl What else is there to stand be-
tween the Treasury and such Onslaughts
for internal Improvements, if not also
for more direct repayment Of rebel losses,
as shall constitute or compel National
bankruptcy Can the Republican party in
such an hour tolerate within its ranks any
man, President or Cabinet officer or Senator
who fails to subordinate his personal theories
or private grievances to the National good
New-York tribune., 1877-11-23

Last Summer it was thought that when VIM
ter came the bloody duel in the East would
cease and the contest be transferred from the
field to diplomatic council chambers, but the
inclement season has arrived and these expec-
tations are not confirmed. Evidently, the Rus
slams are not going TO rest on their arms. In
Winter campaign the advantages will be all
on their side. Thrce-fourths of their troops
are accustomed to the rigOrs of a Northern
climate, while thrce-fOurths of the Turks have
rarely seen heavy snowfall. The weather,
from December to March. in the Balkans
and on the high tablelands of Ar
menia, is not severe, but is cold enough
to keep the roads frozen, so that march
ing will not be difficult, and cannon and sup
plies can be readily moved Naturally the
hardy fellows from Poland and Lithuania, from
the slopes of the Ural Mountains, and the
vast snowy steppes of Great Russia, will march
better and fight better and suffer less from
sickness and exposure than the swarthy Egyp-
tians and yellow Syrians, accustomed to a
semi-tropical climate. Besides the superior
efficiency of his forces for Winter work, the
Car has every reason for pushing his enemies
before they can recover from dscouragement
over the loss of Kars, and their want of sue
cess in driving the Russians out of their lodg-
ment in Bulgaria.
All the indications are that the neutral
Powers will allow the quarrel to be fought on
to a point much nearer the bitter end of Turk
ish overthrow than it has reached yet. There
are many reasons for believing that the yelled
and mysterious policy of Prince Bismark
covers friendly understanding with the Car
that Germany will not interfere. Austria
Hungary, with the strongest reasons for op-
posing the erection of Slav State on her
southern border under a Russian protectorate,
dare not move without the consent of Ger
many. She is but patchwork empire
composed of many discordant nationalties,
among which there is no agreement about
the questions involved in the war. The NJ <
vars of Hungary, remembering their wrongs
of 1913, are fierce enemies of Russia, while
the Slavs of Croatia and Dalmatia and the
| Czechs of Bohemia sympathize with their kim
dred, the subjects of the Gar. Meanwhile the
