have respectable following at Syracuse,
but the control of the best offices IN this city
| The Philadelphia Charity Censor makes
| lame apology for his remarks about those
"play-people" He is convinced that his man
ner of conducting the business of the Relief
Committee was hurried and perhaps too
"plain," but protests that his words have been
misunderstood The words, we believe, were
these: eff the committee once opens
its doors to these play-people, there is
ono knowing where it will end" This was
an insult to one of the hardest-wOrked and
most generous professions in the country, and
the apology should have been heartier and
| less reserved. There is q single line written
| by one Paul, which those who are concerned
in relief measures of public nature will do
well to remember: Doth not behave itself
'uDseemly."
The success achieved by New-YOrk firms at
the Paris Exhibition should remind the public
at large that this city is admirably adapted
| for manufactures, and that such are just now
urgently required to give employment to the
thousands who need work and cannot find it.
On this island labor is abundant, coal
| is cheap-cheaper than in New-England-
raw material of nearly all kinds Is easily pro-
durable, buyers are at hand. railroads and
steamships are convenient, and banks are
ready to encourage local industry and facil-
itate traffic with domestic and foreign ports.
Our taxes and rents were high, but they have
ceased to be oppressive and are more than out
weighed by the other advantages which this
- 4l,on
rer. At present there are no better carriages,
iewelry, shoes and clothing made anywhere
than our artisans produce. With upwards OF
1916 900, 900 on deposit in our National, State
and savings banks, there ought to be alum
dant capital to initiate new enterprises
and conduct them to a successful issue.
The immense business which this city trans
acts in Western, New-England and foreign
productions shows incontestably that there
would be a wide field for her own.
The returns from Maine at the hour OF
writing are too mcaGro to justify an explicit
statement Of the results. In the First Con-
gressional district MIR. Reed Republican, Is
returned by a plurality Of 3,84S. In the
Second district Mr.. Frye, Republican, IS elected
by about the same plurality as IN 1876.
There seems to be no reason to doubt the
success of the Republican candidate in the
lid District The WITH District, now repre-
fented by Mr.. Powers, is close. In the
With District, which is the stronghold OF
the Greenback party in the State,
Mr.. Hale has had hard fight and
the issue is still in doubt. The
general result in the State cannot be an
nounced with any degree of certainty. The
probability is that Governor Common. who
heads the Republican ticket, has a plurality
but not a majority, and that under the
State law there is no election for
Governor by the people. In 1877
the Republican majority was 5,441; in
1875 il was 1872. If Governor Conner now
has a plurality instead of a majority, the in
ference will be that the Greenback party has
cut down the aggregate Republican vote to
the extent of 5000 or 5000. There is moth
ing at hand to indicate the strength Of the
parties in the Legislature
Anarchy is beginning to appear through
out Turkey. Despite the British effort to
give the Sultan q semblance of power, the
people and the army have lost fmth in the
national authority, and believe that what re-
mains of the Empire is Fastening to disrup-
ton. The Bosnian landholdeTs and the Turkish
soldiers are imbued with the like fanaticism,
and strike wildly against every one who
counsels submission. The murders of the
Governor of Ipeka, with ten other officials
and of Mehemet Ali, with twenty of
his staff. are the most daring acts which
the mutineers have yet committed against
the national authority. During his remarkable
career Mehemet ALI bad met with many re-
verses, but he never failed to command the
respect of his troops, or to receive the readiest
obedience. In Albania he was remote
from the principal scene of hOstilities, and not
exposed to the wild passions which the actual
presence Of the Austrians enkindles. But his
simple refusal to engage in a fOOlhardy move
ment against the invaders cost him his life.
The consequences of these terrible deeds
NAV be widespread. The Congress pad
some respect to the integrity of Turkey,
| suppOsing that she would resist further
encroaehments in the interest Of Greece. If
| it becomes evident that the Porte is powerless,
the subject races will promptly hasten its
destruction, without waiting for European
sanction. Occurring almost simultaneously
with Prince Bismarck's complaint TO the Powers
that Turkey has failed to execute the Berlin
Treaty, these atrocities will convince Europe
| that the Turk still stubbOrnly resists reform,
and is a source of danger to surrounding
nations.
