THE EASTER QUESTION.


LONDON, Feb 6-The text of Gort. chakoff's
circular on the Turkish question has been re-
celyed. Among other things he says:
Inc Forte pays no regard to its former en-.
gagemonts, to its duties as member of the
European council, or to the unanimous wish of
the great powers. Far from having made a
step towards q satisfactory solution of the east
ern question, the Ottoman Empire has been
and rem aims permanent menace to the peace
OF Europe, as we'll as to the sentiments of hu-
mainly and the conscience of Christian people.
Under these circumstances, uefore deciding on
what course he may think it right to follow, the
Emperor wishes to know what course will be
determined upon by the cabinet with whom we
have acted up to the present, and with whom
We desire as far as possible TO continue proceed.

Servia's Reliance.
The Times Belgrade special says it is evil
dent that the Servian government relies on
some power to support it in case no agreement
is reached before March first, as there is appar-
emily no apprehension in Belgrade of the con-
sequences of the Servians being left to con-
front the whole Ottoman empire The cores
pondence adds: "a person fully informed of
the acts OF the Seryian government informs me
that the Russian Consul General here (Bel-
grade) is really acting as an agent of Russian
political societies, 1t is perfectly evident from
what IS taking place here that the struggles be-
tween the Russian government and those soci-
LIES Is assuming glgantlc antagOnlSm, and un-
less 1t IS Smothered in a common cause, such
as popular war, an outbreak is extremely prob.
able"
The POrte's Conditions to Seryia,
VIENNA, Feb. 6 The Politische Correspondez
states that the Porte has proposed the follow
ing conditions to Servia, waving its former
claim for substantial guarantees:
First-The right of being automatically rep-
resented at Belgrade.
Second-That the Catholics and Jews shall
enjoy the same rights as the native Servians.
Third-That Servia shall not allow the form
alton OF armed bands or violation of Turkish
territory.
Fourth-T That the existence of secret societies
shall not be permitted.
Fifth-That Servian fortresses shall be kept
in good repair.
Sixth-That the Turkish flag shall be hoist
ed upon those fortresses jointly with the Ser
Wan flag.
The Potische Correspondez says: Seryia
Will doubtless accep5 these conditions and send
special commissioner to lonstantinople.

THE RAILROAD TAX.

Abstract of the Opinion of the Supreme
Court.
BANGOR, Feb. 6.-The full text of the opin-
ion of the Supreme Court in the suit brought
by the state to collect taxes on the Maine Cen
tral Railroad Co, will be published in the Whig
tomorrow, occupying seven columns. The
opinion is drawn By Chief Justice Appleton,
the other judges concurring, and is very impor.
tant being test C ase applicable to suits by the
state aga INST other railroads for taxes Court
holds that the legislature may incorporate a
new, distinct corporation out of two or more
existing corporations.
That the special act of consolidation Of 1856
was also an act of Incorporation
That the statute authorizing the mortgages
of insolvent railroads to form new distinct
corporation must be construed subject to gen.
eral law reserving the right to the state to
amend, alter or repeal.
That the new corporation formed of two or
more existing ones and invested with privileges,
immunities, etc., possessed by each of the cor
porations, has only the privileges, immunities,
etc., which the corporation with fewest of such
possessed, and which are common to all.
That when two or more corporations with a
special immunity from general taxation, the
amount being dependent upon certain prece-
dent acts to be d one by such corporations thus
to be exempted, and those corporations are in
corporated into new corporation which is not
required and is unable to do and perform the
acts which are to preceee such limited and
special taxation, the new corporation thus
created cannot claim such special exemption,
aud that immunity from taxation is not one Of
the franchises of corporation.
The judgment given for the state involves
about $50, 900 taxes from the Maine Central and
affects suits against other corporations.

Lost.
NEW YORK, Feb Cit is now believed that
the steamer George Cromwell on the same
line as the George Washington, is lost
Further Particulars of the Loss of the
George Washington.
A dispatch from St. Johns, N. f., says the
steamer Tiger brings further details Of the loss
OF the steamer George Washington. The in
habitants did not discover the wreck till the
18th. when men from the shore being lowered
by ropes seventy fathoms over the frowning
Cliff, found parts of thirteen human bodies
which they buried. The features were not rec.
ognlzaDie. One body was marked in India ink
with the letters 81. 81. S." and "R." All on
board the steamer when she sunk were nm
doubtedly lost. The George Washington was
about lO00 TONS built in this city thirteen wears
ago. On her last trip she left New York Jan.
18th, with 1000 barrels Of pork, $500 barrels of
-four, breadstuffs, leather and provisions. Init
without any through passengers Ca Jan. 18
she left Halifax, having taken on board there
W. Archibald, cabin, and James Powers,
Storage passengers, and an additional cargo of
fresh beef and sundries. She should have ar
rived at st. Johns three days after leaving Hal
max. Her estimated value was 5000. and
sac was insured, mostly in foreign companies,
Tor sum little short Of that amount.

The Electoral Count.
The Commissions Decision not
yet Announced.
But it will be Against Going Be-
hind the Certificates.

WASHINGTON, Feb. The Electoral Com
mission remained in session from noon till $40
p. m then took a recess of half an hour.
The electoral commission after taking re-
cess of half an hour in the middle of the after.
noon remained in session till nearly s o'clock
this evening, when they adjourned to meet
again for private conference at 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning.
In regard to the admission of evidence, which
will be decided Tomorrow, it can be stated that
according to the present indications majority
of the commission will decide that in addition
to the electoral certificates no evidence can be
received by the commission in regard to the
Florida case, except such as relates merely to
the action of the Florida state government sub
sequent to the Presidential election. Conced-
ing this to be the determination of the commits
sion their inquiries in regard to matters of fact
will be restricted to comparatively narrow
range and thus a final decision in the FLORIDA
case may be expected sooner than has been
generally anticipated The evidence concern
ing the action of the Florida courts and the
legislature on the matter in controversy is of
documentary character and is already accessi-
BILE to the commission. 1t is probable therefore
that their final decision in the Florida case will
be reported to the joint session of the two
houses before the close of the present week.
