CHRISTIANS IN TURKEY.


The Turkish Government is now dis
cussing a scheme for the enrolment of
Christians in the army. 1t is reckoned
that 200, 900 men could be raised for this
purpose. But the question is, would
they fight? OF this there is very great
doubt, indeed. To ask n.en at a moment
of extreme danger to fight for a govern
ment which has hitherto thought them
unworthy to bear arms would be a down.
right iniquity. Looking, too, at the
present state of feeling of the ten or
twelve million Christians in this en-
pire, it would be an act of great impru-
dence on the part of the Mussulmans to
entrust the giaoatrs with arms at this
moment. The Turks, however, canno
be earnest in this matter. The pretense
is that justice should be dealt out to all
Ottomans" alike, now that there is a
:" constitution" But, knowing as they
do that the great mass of the Christians
cannot be trusted, or will refuse to fight,
they will then come down upon them fol
an increase of the already heavy hardtsh,
or tax for exemption from military ser
vice. During the last few years this
burden has been greatly increased, even
children and old men not being exempt
ed from payment, although this is con-
trary to law Now, if it is further aug
mented, the poor rayahs-many of whom
are already at their wits end to pay ex.
listing taxes-will be put to sore straits.
The Turks may probably learn when il
is too late that they have destroyed theil
right arm in dealing repeated blows al
the trade and industry of the rayahs by
excessive taxation and vexatious meas
ures, for longer continuance in this
course must compel many of the latter
to leave their country to seek homes else

Oliver T.. Morton.

The death of Senator MORTON is an
nounced in our news columns this morning
ss having taken place at his home in In
dianapolis yesterday afternoon. Elsewhere
will be found detailed account of his pub
lie services. His demise at this time is a
sad loss to the Republican party and to the
nation, TO which he has ever been a faithful
servant. Endowed with lofty patriotism,
tirelcss industry and undauntcd courage
he had only to be convinced of the right
in order to accord it the aid of his powerful
intellect and exhaustless energy. He was
great as Governor of his State during the
wal, when his efforts to put troops in the field,
and hy exposing the Vaccinations of traitors
hold his State firmly to the Union cause, de-
veloped his great faculties Us an executive
and his wonderful talents as u leader
Upon his advent in the Senate the eharac-
teristics above named commanded the I'M
mediate recognition of his peers, and from
the moment of the delivery of his first
speech, on the question of reconstruction, in
that forum, his influence never tagged
Notwithstanding his physical iniirmitics
that with most men would have counted for
disabilities, he shrked no duty, nor did he
ever decline to speak and act in behalf of
the poor soldier and the freedman Their
interests seemed to be his especial care. To
be deserving yet helpless was a certain
passport to his assistance. He was
therefore deservedly popular with the poorer
classes, as well as with those in the higher
walks of life. He was the same untiring
friend and counsellor in the Senate to
Southern Republicans that Gen. BUTLER
has ever been in the House. His death
leaves void in the party and in the Senate
which will not be easily or readily filed
His demise in this moment of gushing paci-
6cation will b, most deeply and feelingly
mourned by those Southern Republicans who
find themselves ostracised and DISTINGUISHED
as one of the results of the new policy; but
all true patriots everywhere will contribute
wreaths with which to deck his bier.

Gov. Kemper and the Union.

The speech OF Gov. KEMPER, of Virginia.
in welcoming President HAYES to the late
Confederate capital, "wherc our loreisthers
devised the first complete written Constitu-
ton" and where rebellion was most intense,
and where il found "the last ditch" is q
very patriotic and well-expressed effort. 1t
IN sort Of halleluiah to the Union and the
Constitution, which sounds strangely enough
from the lips of Confederate general, ut
tered on the sacred soil" where the rebel
lion expired 1t sounds as if it came from
the heart of one who had fought, bled and
died, almost, for the cause of this glorious
Union - this blessed Constitution - the
"cause of constitutional peace and impartial
Justice, and of equal rights for all the mem
bers of the American republic"
Tne mouthing of this speech is really
musical and was no doubt new to the ears
Of the President, who had been on the other
side in the late unpleasantncss, and Of
sourse from KEMPER's standpoint was in
the wrong, and who had seldom if ever
heard much before about the Declaration Of
Independence, and IAN indissoluble and i'll
destructible Union.n 1t was for all that, of
course, that Gen. KEMPER was fighting
from 1861 to 1865, and against which the
President was arraigned during that inter
ssting period. 1t is pleasant to know that
The President has been educated in all these
matters by patriot of such tried integrity
toward the Union and the Constitution, on
the very spot where these great principles
and truths were taught by JEFFERSON
DAVIS and ALEX. II. STEPHENS during the
bloody years in which the North was
struggling to Overturn the Union. 1t should
be matter of congratulation that the Presi-
dent visited Richmond if for no otherreason
than that no has encountered new sources OF
enlightenment on this great question.

parties are contending for the colored vote
with zeal that really gives an honest Re

Georgia's future. Atlanta has shown some
ingenuity in bringing out figures that show
that even Baldwin County, the county in

Warm Times I'm Georgia.

From our Observa ton Of the Georgia pa

on between the cities OF Atlanta and Mill
edgeville as to whether the capital shall ~
main at Atlanta or be returned to Milledge-
vile, from whclce II was removed by the
Republican convention of 1868. The friends
OF Atlanta claim for that place accessible
ity, convenience, ample hotel accomm0da-
tions, and vested right in having
carried out the contract with the State
by which she became entitled to the capi-
tsl. In a recent letter from one Judge WILL
LIAM REESE, who is spoken of by the At

vested right is conceded. The friends at
