The conference of the great powers Of
Europe at ConstaDtinople came to a close
on Saturday, owing to the frmness Of
Turkey. The Porte refused the two
chief guarantees demanded by the Pow.
ers.
Gen. lgnatieff, the Russian Minister
hoped Turkey would not undertake hos
tilities against Servia, and would cause
her Christian subjects to be protected
The Foreign Ministers will leave the
Turkish capital this week. Immediate
hostilities between Turkey and Russia
are not expected, but are likely to grow
out OF continuance of the war against
servia, now suspended by armistice.-
Both nations are preparing for war, and
American manufacturers OF fire arms
and munitions are pushed to their utmost
to supply the demand from both count
ries. 1t is thought Russia is less eager
for war, knowing that England will in
terfere to defend Constantinople. Rus
sia wants the Sultan's capital. It is not
probable the powers will unite in armed
intervention to impose the conditions
they favored at the conference. Turkey
comes out of the conference with dis
play OF courage and spirit, according to
the London Times, that has delighted its
friends in Europe. The Times thinks
weeks may elapse before Russia announ-
es its final purpose of peace.

COUNTING THE ELECTORAL
VOTES.


The plan for counting the Electoral
votes reported from the joint Committee
will be found in this paper. The only
member of the Committees who opposed
it was Senator Morton. We presume
that Congress will adopt the plan substan'
TALLY as recommended.
The four Supreme Court Justices speci-
fed are Nathan Clifford of Main, in his
74th year; William Strong of Pennsyl-
vania, in his sixty ninth; Samuel F..
Miller of Iowa, who will be sixty-one in
April Stephen j. Field of California in
his sixty first year. Mr. Clifford was APP
pointed to the Supreme Bench by Presi-
dent Buchanan in 1858 Mr.. Strong by
President Grant in 1870; Mr. Miller by
President Lincoln in 1862; and Mr.. Field
by Lincoln in 1868.
There remain four Assistant Justices
from whom the selection of the fifth JUS
tiCe on the Commission must be made by
the four above named. The oldest of
these, in age and service on the Bench, is
Justice Noah H. Swayne of Ohio, no W in
his seventy-third year. and who has been
fifteen years on the Supreme Bench,
having been appointed in January, 1862,
by President Lincoln. The next in term
of service is Justice David Davis, Of Illi-
nois, appointed by President Lincoln in
December, 1852, and who was, in 1872
and 1876, named as candidate for the
Democratic nomination to the Presi-
dency. The third is Justice Joseph P.
Bradley, nearly sixty four years old, who
was appointed from New Jersey in March
1870, by President Grant The last is
Justice Ward Hunt, sixty-fve years old
appointed from New York in 1872, by
President Grant.

BROTHER ORvILLE," as President Grant
used to call him, to whom was given the
sale of executive patronage, has gone into
the courts. He sues a Western Govern.
ment contractor for seventy five thousand
dollars, on the grounds that he had agreed
with the contractor to obtain for him
certain contracts, on condition that he
should receive a salary of five thousand a
year, and an allowance of ten per cent.
of the profits during the existence of
these contracts. Brother 0rville" did
his part, but the man he befriended, dis
regarded his agreement, and gave the
brother of the Executive the cold shoul-
der, as soon as the great seal had touched
the paper upon which the Cove rnment
contracts were written. But when mon
ey or presents may be obtained, Grant
will not finch from public scorn. Ac-
cordingly Brother Orville" confesses the
disgraceful part which his brother, the
President, enabled him to act, and sues
scoundrel as great as himself, for dam
ages which belong to the people of the
country. ..rrrfr~r.

THE Democracy of Wisconsin held a
largely attended State Convention on
Thursday, last week, and passed resolu-
tions aimed at the assumption of power
by the President of the Senate to make
the electoral count. The next day con-
vention of veteran soldiers of the State
was held. Generals Bragg and West and
and many other prominent Wisconsin
soldiers took part. A State organization
was perfected with Gen. Bragg as general
commanding, with aids in each Congress
sional district. Gen. Bragg is Demo.
cratic member of Congress-elect, and
the ring in his speech accepting the lead
ership showed confidence and determin-
alton.

that Florida has Democratic Governor,

Do these same readers of the Repository
know that at first, a majority of the Re-
turning Board of Florida counted out
Drew by fraud, and counted in Stearns
and Republican Legislature? Do these
same readers know that at the same time
the Florida Returning Board perpetrated
this fraud the State was counted for
Hayes2 Do they know that a Republi-
can Supreme Court of Florida, on appli-
cation of Drew, ordered the Returning
Board to recount and the result was as
above2 The Electoral vote was not in
cluded in this recount, but Florida went
for Tilden as we'll as Drew.

THE Constitution has been strained a
good many times since the breaking 1t
of the war, but the Committee contriv-
ance" which places the election of Pres
ident in the hands of a Commission" re-
pugnant to the Constitution and without
precedent in American history proposes
the worst wrench the "sacred bond" ha
ever suffered, -CIeU Herald.
Of course it was the party in power
that Strained" the Constitution--not the
political party out of power. The Herald
is doubtless correct as to the past and
that journal only objects to the "Com
mittee contrivance' because it is not as
sure pop for Hayes as it would be to
let one man as President of the Senate
Morton, Sherman or Ferry, count in Mr..
Hayes whether or no. That would not
"strain" the Constitution, oh mol 1t would
be lovely.

CHARLES COLLINS, Chief Engineer of the
Michigan Southern & Lake Shore rail-
road, committed suicide last week at his
residence in Cleyeland, by shooting with
pistol-p,acing the muzzle in his mouth
while lying in bed. His body was not
found till SATURDAY. morning when he
had been dead over two days. His wife
was from home visiting relatives. 1t
seems he took the Ashtabula accident
greatly at heart, not being able to sleep.
He was 81 years old, and had been engi-
neer of the road from the time of its loca
ton. Mr.. Collins was man of noble
nature and leaves vast circle of friends
to mourn his untimely end.

THE election of Mr.. Hoar to the United
States Senate in place of Mr., Boutwell, is
decided improvement, though both
gentlemen are Republicans. Mr.. Hoar
is member of the House and was one oi
the lawyers chosen last spring to prose
cute the impeachment Of Belknap before
the Senate. In his speech urging on the
Senate the conviction of Belknap, he
drew the following picture of the huml-
liation to which the country has been
brought under Republican party rule.
He said:
"I saw the ex-Speakers of the
House, the Chairmen Of the most impor-
tant Committees, our ambassador to En-
gland and two Vice Presidents tainted
with corruption; l saw official proof of
the Presidents intimacy with notorious
thieveE, and how the knowledge and
power Of the White House was used by
them; l saw self-confessed thief in the
Cabinet; | saw the Presidents Private
Secretary and most intimate political ad-
wiser indicted by asworn Grand Jury for
robbing the Government; | saw how,
despite the prostitution of the whole
power of the President and the Attorney
General, the Administration and the
party. he only escaped legal conviction
by the veriest technicalities, and at the
cost of an absolute admission of moral
ou;It. saw too how for the fsrt time in
the history of the Republic, a lawfully
elected Assembly of Louifiana was dis
persed at the point of the bayonet, to
give way to shameless pretenders, whom
the people regarded more as robbers
than as representatives. And when l
thought OF all this my pride as an Amer-
can began to melt into shame, | asked
myself then, and ask you now, how
long is this era of humiliation to last ?"

FLORIDA ALL RIGHT.

On Thursday last Gov. Drew, of Flor
ida, approved an act of the Legislature
requiring the Board of Canvassers tc
make canvass of the electoral vote in
accordance with the decision of the Su
preme Court in the case of Bloxham VS.
the Secretary of State, decided in Janu-
ary, 1871, and in the case of Drew, deci'
ded Dec. "a, 1876. In obedience to this
law the Board of State Canvassers met on
Friday at Tallehasse. Attorney General
Raney having been counsel for the DEM
ocratic electors, declined to act, and Mr..
Corley, Commissioner of Lands and
Immigration, was designated in his
place. The canvass was then gone into,
and all the returns found 10 be regular
were counted, and footed up 24,434 for
the Tilden electors, and 24,34O for the
Hayes electors. This makes Tilden's
majority "a. 1t is the only canvass Of
the vote for President made in accord
ance with the decision of the Supreme
Court of the State

We believe President Grant once said
he would "have no policy of his own tc
enforce against the will of the People"
Now, the People, by quarter of a mil
lion and more Of majority, expressed
their will for Samuel J. Tilden for Presi-
dent, and the immense conventions on
the 9Th show they are still of the same
mind. So, Mr.. Grant, sober up and be-
have yourself. Submit to the will of the
people,

THE N. Y Tribune and other Morton
organs claim it wrong and dangerous to
let fifteen men decide on the legality Of
an electoral return, but it would be all
right and safe to let Mr.. Ferry as Presi-
dent ofthe Senate, determine the whole
matter, since Mr.. Ferry believes piously
in Returning Board rascality. These
journals fear his name is Tilden.

Senator further spoke of Packard as an

such a point that he demanded and pro-
cured the clearing of the gallery. Of
course Sherman and Morton came to
