PLETY1,s COMPENSATON

The battle of Plevna hes reduced the diplO-
macy Of Europe to It's simplest terms. The
duel in Bulgaria will 20 on without intenup
ton. 1t is now plain that the Turk Is well
armed and a pretty sure shot and for while
at least may be trusted to defend himself.
The Russian may overpOwer his adversary in
the end, but the physical strain is so terrible
that he will be passive instrument II the
hands of the European Powers. Now that
tbe contestants seem to be quite evenly
matched. Great Britain and Austria are will
ing TO let them fight it out in their own
way. The clam0r of the lIungaIians and the
rant over British interests are 10 longer heard.
The mobilization of the Austrian Army, and
the occupation of Gallipoli by British troops,
are put out of mind. Premier Tisza 10 longer
deprecatcs the hOt-headedness Of his fellow
Magyars: and the contingency under which
Count Andrassy will secure Austrian interests
by some other method than that Oh compro-
mise and intrigue, vanlshes among the
sbadowv uncertainties OF future diplomacy.

Mai RuHkle's restoration to pay and rank IN
the Army is pleasant thing to record, he hay-
ing proved bis innocence of the charge Of mis-
appropriating The funds Of the Freedman's Bu-
reau. The legal point upon which the case,
long ago decided by court martial, was re-
opened. Is ingenious. Such nice subtleties Of
law have often been put forward to help bad
causes. bat very rarely 10 defend the right.
The attempt Of the ImperialistS to defeat
Prince Napoleon in Corsica, by nominating
Baron Haussmann against him, IS not likely to
meet with any greater success than the former
effort to keep him out Of the French Legisla-
ture With all ms short c0mings, the Prince
is better entitled 10 represent the "cTadle Of
the Bonapartes" than any member or adheTent
of the Imperial family. His manly conduct
during the late crisis gives him an additional
claim to popular support.
What seems an excellent plan has recently
been devised to save the Inconvenience ana
expense of transporting United States troops
over the wide spaces Of our territory upon
every occasion of disturbance at the North or
Soutb. i'm the Black Hills region or IN Pennsyl-
yania coal mines. The notion Is simply to
form camps of instruction at recruiting
stations near each of our large cities, and to
keen in each camp a considerable body OF men.
IL is calculated that the saving III cost OF
Transporting men and materials VIII pay the
eypense of an increase in the number OF SOL
diers which the plan contemplates.

The Southern speeter again stalks
forth 1t is no longer idle speculation
that plsts and eounter-plOts are being
Gratis At least four distinct combina-
tons are at work TO induce Hayes to
suggest upon what terms he can reward
Democratic apostasy. Lamar and Ben
Hill are not included in the new con
spiracy, because, as prominent Repub-
licsn said to day. Gan either of them
care for is TO get snugly seated in the
Senate, and 1t is immaterial to them who
is Prerident The new plan aims ia
another direction. Hancock Of Texas, is
she one suggested to stir up the Southern
dissfecsion. If he accepts the trust, his
reward, personally, is to be a Cabinet pO-
sition. The plan is this: If the Repub
lieans are apprehens;Fs that If Louisis IA
is counted for Hayes By the "seven cut
Tribunal, the Democrats will delay the
conclusion of the count ultii after the
4th of March to get a new election.
They are plotting and scheming to get
enough Southern votes to prevent it. As
an inducement to secure these votes, the
guarantees TO the South are: First, one
or two Cabinet places; second, the con-
Lrol Of their Own State Governments;
third guaranteed policy on the part OF
the Republicans Of liberal appropriations
for Southern internal improvements;
fourth, the passage of the Texas Pacific
Railroad bill. The pl1t even extends
farther, and contemplates the capture of
the House of Representatives after the
4th of March next.
If Hayes is counted in there will be
no extra session of the House. During
the recess enough Southern Democrats
will be favored with patronage to induce
them to stand in with the couspirators
and enable the Republicans to secure Its
organization Without the aid of mi
croseope think | could lay my hand on
bakers dozen willing to be "seen. p"
In naming Hancock, Of Texas, as the one
selected to engineer the conspiracy, l
don't mean to insinuate that he was
aware that he is chosen to play she devil
to Hayes god. He may be unconseious
" innocent | do know, however, that
upon him the pressure is to be brought.
He is not in the next Congress, and g
man relegsted to private life may easily
have his vanity tickled by being called
into the councils of President, though
he is a usuFpsr. There are too many
shaky Democrats from the South. The
Republican know it. and mesn to bag
enough of them to suit their purpose il
they can.
If Louisiana is given to Tilden, the
Democrats will reconsider their determi
nation not TO contest the vote Of South
Carolina, and will object to the Bayes
certificates and send the matter to the
Tribunal The fight will be made on the
failure of the State officers to comply
with the law requiring the registration
of veters The report of Sayiers inves
tigating committee, Which visited the
State, Is withheld for this purpose.

What Either House May DO in an
Emergency.


Emergency.
A newspaper correspondent asked
Senator Bayard this evening if there
was any possibility that the Dsmoc rats
would pre- vent the completion of the
count in the event that the louisa ma
case went against them. The Senator
replied with a great deal of emphasis:
mo, they may defeat US but they cannot
disgrace US; they may bring US misfor-
tune, but they cannot bring us into con-
tempt.
In spite of the distinct assertion of
leading D emoerats in both Il ouses, how
ever, their continues to be strong sus-
picion among the Republicans that the
House Dem ocrats do not mean to allow
the count to be completed if Louisiaus
should be declared for Hayes.
One cause for this suspicion is the &C.
cusation of bad faith against Republics can
members of the commission which Is
current in Democratic circles, and which
would seem to be put forth as an excuse
for an inteneed refusal to carry out the
terms of the compromise.
There ID no lack of speculation as to
what the Republicans will do if the
third of March comes and Democr attic
delays have prevented the completion Of
the count
One project talked Of is for the Presi-
dent of the Senate to finish the work of
couAting the vote under instructions
| from the Senate. 1t is proposed 10 place
such instructions on the ground that the
electoral law has been made abortive by
the factious and revolutionary action of
the House, and that no legislation which
results in a defeat of the constitutional
requirement that the votes shall be
counted is valid or binding This plan
goes upou the assumption that al extra
constitution proceeding on the part Of
the House tending to produce anarchy
can properly be met and defeated by an
extra constitution proceeding on the part
of the Senate tending to peace aud good
| order
The common view Is, however, that it
| lies in the power of the House, under
| the electoral law, to defeat declaration
of the result in a perfectly legal way by
recess from day to Gay, and that the Sen
ate possesses no cleasly lawful remedy
| There would be nothing for the Senate
to do, according TO this theory, except to
choose a new President before the 4th OF
| March to administer the Executive Office
as tocum tenens during an interregnum
of year. Who could be likely to be
selected for this Important duty is an al

that the presiding officers should be taken

Is no law to prevent the Senate from 60
ing outside. 1t might elect Gov. Hayes
and give him a chance to show the cOun-
try what kind of admin istratiOn he could
make before the voters would be called
upon again TO make a choice between
him and Mr. Tilden, Ii might elect
Gen. Grant on the idea that it " ould be
best for him to hold over until 3 new
Administration could be regularly in
stalled.

LATEST GOSSIP ABOUT
THE COUNT.
The Democrats and Brad
lev.

Among the Democrats there is still
some hope that Judge Bradley will make
UP bis mind that neither of the cor hict
ing certificates are valid and that both,
sets of returns ought to be rejected. The
care he displays in taking notes of the
points In the arguments Of the Demo
cratic directors give them good deal of
comfort.
PARTISAN COURSE OF TEE COMMISSION.
The action of the Commission in fore
ing Carpt inter- to proceed under the dis
advantages with which he labored adds
to the apprehension thot the majority is
anxious to get through with its devil
Hent.
1t is significant that while Carpenter
requested more time for counsel to be
heard, Evarts thought his side could
close in two hours-as much as to say,
1--WE dant care for argument, we want
she veLdict We know what that viii be
for We have the jury packed.
The feeling is that the Commission
clearly showed its purpose to give Til
den's claims no chance, by forcing Car
penter to proceed. The candles used

ture, placed in japanned tin eandlestieks
and dotted around the hall wherever

rest. The currents of air blew the
smoke into the center of the room, and

and especially to the speakers.
MATT oARPENTER AS A PRoPzER.
Carpenters predatory remark that he
was not Democrat, but had voted for
Hayes, created somewhat of a sensation;
but not more so than when be added that
be appeared not only for the present
elected President of the United States,
but for future candidates, and, perhaps,
for the next Republican eandidare. He
wanted such a precedent established
that if a Republican candidate should
receive a majority ia his own State, no
Returning Board should cheat him out

Boards were recognized, who was so
hopeful IS to believe that another Presi-
deaf would be elected by the peopls2 II

House by formal vote refused to endorse

The discussion over this case in the

is that the Democrats compromised their
position by adopting the Board of Arbi-
tratiou as an agency for settling the
Presidential dispute.
