Rrhe statement which we publish
elsewhere in this issue purporiing to DC
an abstract Of the confession of the boss
Tammany Ring thief, VIM. NJ. Tweed
was published by the daily press of The
country, Wednesday morning. II
made great sensation because II in
yolved the names OF many respectable
and some almost eminent, gentlemen
II appears, however, that, while il con
iains much truth, it is false In many
particulars, and was evidently issued
by the World, which first discovered it,
as a sensational, catch-penny article
Senator Woodin Indignantly denies al
statements in regard to himself; Hugh
j. Hastings says the money received by
him was legitimate business transac'
ton; Judge Folger, of the New York
Court of Appeals, Recorder Hackstt
Senator Bixby, and other gentlemen
named, pronounce the parts assigned ia
them In this record of the infamous
transactions of Tammany, fictitious and
frivolous. Tweed's counsel also sayi
some Of these charges are not part o.
the confession, 80 the World already
stands convicted before the world ofth'
meanest and lowest kind of sensational
ism and want of truth. The real CON
sessiOn must now be given 10 the public
sad then, ifTweed gives the "trnc in
wardness" OF the Ring siealings, ihf
parties Implicated can scarcely escape
their share of the responsibility. Prob
ably this statement has enough truth il
1t to require explanations on the par
of those named in it.

W. 1t is with some qualification that
we notice the promotion of native Yer
monters, and especially that with few
exceptions the SONS of the Green Noun
tain state discharge the duties of such
responsible positions as they are called
upon to fill with credit to themselves
and their native state. Hon. John A.
Kasson, who has just received the APP
pointment of minister to Spain in place
of Caleb Cushing, is native of this
state, and Il graduate of the University
He will be no exception to the rule we
refer to above. He was appointed from
Iowa. After so much experience as the
country has had with Vermont blood in
official positions, and so uniformly has
the wisdom of such appointments beer
jnstifed, il would not be unreasonable
TO give an occasional favor to some who
have moi emignted from the state.

- The condition of affairs in eastern

So The condition of affairs in eastern
Europe is not less perplexing, while the
prospect of an early resort to arms for
the solution of the yexed questions
seems every day to increase. The reports
from day to day are not uniform, but
they render it exceedingly probable
that there must and will be a collision
between Russia and Turkey and almost
of necessity involving, earlier or later
the other powers of Europe. If the
other great powers, Austria, Germany,
England and France become active par,
Elephants in the approaching fray, the
effect upon our own country must be
very great. We may and probably
shall succeed in maintaining neutrality
but our commercial interests will be
affected and of course our industries III
great measure, not necessarily to ON
injury, but changingl conditions, fol
which we must be prepared.

~ Ben Butler don't like the presi-
dents southern policy, and he would
not be Ben Butler if he did. The gen
eral is born radical, almost an extrem-
list, and if he expressed any sympathy
with the conservative views of Pres.
Hayes we might reasonably doubt his
honesty. This feeling is more preva-
lent in New England than we are likely
to suppose. II has not yet found much
expression, and will not if the result is
not disastrous, but let il prove an utter
failure, as many fear that il will, and we
shall hear from this element.
