THE PROSPECTS OF AN EARLY PEACE
IN EUROPE

The opinion we have entertained from
the beginning that the Eastern war would
not be a long one, sufficiently 10 to warrant
any great advance in the markets of the
world, receives new supports day by day.
The crossing of the Danube by the Rus
slams, instead of initiating against its
soundncSs, is an additional assurance, rs
appears on all sides. In fact, we regard the
advance rs the flcctest messenger of peace
that could be summoned to the field, and
by the time the army of the Car has
reached Adrianoplc, point which now ap-
pears to he objective we predict the ''satisfac-
tory subject" the President of the Turkish
Chamber of Deputies informed the repre-
sentatives they might be called to deliberate
upon in extraordinary session will be dis
closed, and peace will be immediate. The
occupation of this city by Russia has on one
or two former occasions produced tho de-
sired effect upon the Sultan, and brought
his stubborn Highness to concessions wis
dom would have dictated without the in
spiration of fear and 1t is quite certain the
present representative Of the Osmanli will
not display greater fortitude or higher cour-
age than his predecessors, particularly as
his cause has less sympathy and his crown
less power than ever before in all the
wretched history of his country.
Russia treasures the world Of her just in
tentions, and more and more convinced of
her uprightncss, foreign Powers refuse to be
drawn into the contest, although every ex-
travagance of cxaggeration and untruth are
resorted to to cmbroil them, especially Eng
land. Another strong indication Of the ap-
proach Of peace is the common assent that
the end is nigh seen in the general falling
of in the prices of breadstuffs and war mate
rails which took such prodigious flights in
the commencement. Altogether, we are
encouraged to believe that soon the din OF
arms will cease again, and the energies OF
nations will be, for q time at least, directed
to the development of wealth and the in
dustries, and to the study of the common
welfare of the race.
What will he the changes in the map OF
Europe consequent upon the campaign,
cannot as yet be OWNED, for it will require
q council of nations to determine them af-
ter the war is closed; but it may be safely
asserted that the power of Turkey over the
various races and denominations of Chris
tians within her dominions will be largely
diminished, either by appropriate guaran'
tees or by such transfer of authority us
will render new boundaries necessary. But
that there will be any extended recognition
| of independencies among the yassal States

EXIT .LOHN IL kETCHAN

Last Saturday terminated the official re-
lations between Congressman KETCHAM and
the citizens of the District of Columbia. He
served the Ring well, and it will be the most
fragrant ingratitude If the Ring don't give
him house and lot on X street ~ q token
of their substantial appreciation of his long
and faithful services to them. We may also
observe that we think he is fairly entitled
to at least ten per cent. of the profits from
the contracts recently awarded to the Ring
through his aid and cooperation. 1t is said
that honor exists among thieves. What
then, prevents the same code from prevail
ing among Rings? Mr.. KETCHAM may rest
assured that he carries with him the Rings
hest wishes. The Ring feels satisfied that
they will not soon look upon District
Commissioner like him again. We hope they

THE ARMY.

The severe punishment visited upon the
army officer recently convicted of embezzle-
ment reflects great credit upon that branch
of the service, and is evidence that high
stand of honor exists in it. That class
of our public servants in period of general
corruption have, with few exceptions
escaped charges OF dishonesty and pecuniary
delinquency. This fact must he very graft
flying to the gentlemen in that service, and
is, moreover, q strong argument in favor oil
putting our civil service on the sape foot
ing of permanency in the tenure of Office,
with promotions for merit.

of the most important events for preserving

VIZ DO NOT credit the report now in circula-
