Sympathy with Russia. -Bismarcks
Eastern Policy.
Correspondence N. Y. Hernla


The fall of PIevna, of which the EN-
peror was Immediately appraised by his
nephew, the Gar, evoked g:eat enthusiasm
at court ard in the higher circles of
society, the sympathies of which are de-
cidedly ON the side of the Russians. His
Majesty, the first in Berlin who knew of
the victorious event, Notwithstanding the
lateness of the hour, sent his aid de- camp
to Baron Aubril, the Russian Embassa-
dor, to acquaint him with the tidings and
congratulate him on Osman Pacha's de-
feat Early the next morning the EN-
peror replied by telegraph to the Gar,
complimenting him on the success of his
arms. 1t is generally hoped here the fall
of Peyna, the turning point of the war,
will lead to a speedy conclusion of peace,
although it is we'll known this government
will not take the initiative for mediation
between the two belligerants. Germany
not having direct interest in the east, is
OF all the great Powers, the least eager tt
have peace re-established on the Balkan
Peninsula. She finds no slight pleasure il
seeing her powerful neighbor engaged in
herce struggle, which, even if it terminates

The appended remarks of the st. Louis
Republican upon w. E. Chambers
"squeal" are exactly to the point. No
doubt there were intrigues carried on to
secure Mr.. Hayes the presidency, and
possibly with his consent, or at least with
his knowledge and connivance, but not
probably by his direct action. But GER
tain of his personal and ardent political
partizans were deep in the conspiracy, and
now that a quarrel has arisen over the
spoils the disappointed partizans squeal
fearfully,-J, but we will let he'Repub-
hcan tell the story.
IF, as w. e. Chandler asserts, there was
bargain between southern men and the
confidential friends of Mr.. Hayes, and if
Mr.. Hayes southern policy was the result
of that bargain, it proves what Chandler
and his conspirators did not suspect at the
time-that others can make bargains as
we'll as they. 1t was case Of aiming and
countermining in which the miners were
so busy in their own mischief that they
forgot all about what the counterminers
might be doing.
The southern men, it must be admitted,
played their part of the game marvel
lousy well-so we'll in fact that the repub-
lican conspirators were being beaten all
the while without knowing it. The repub-
lican conspirators were working to get Mr..
Hayes into the presidency. So were the
southerners. Gordon, Lamar, Hampton,
Nichols, Gibson, Watterson and Brown,
all southern men and democrats, were,
according to Chandler, while operating in
a different part of the field actually trying
to effect the same object the republicans
were striving for. The difference is that
the former knew what they were about
and the latter did not. When the COM
mon object was accomplished aud Mr..
Hayes installed in Office, the troops were
withdrawn from the south, in compliance
with what, Chandler asserts, was a spa-
eiic contract 10 writing between Mr.,
Hayes confidential friends and the south.

Senator Butter of south Carolina.

There is apparently an intrigue of some
kind being carried on with the object of
ousting Senator Butler from his seat in
the senate. Of course most of the rumors
which may be sent out from Washington
over the telegraph wires are not to be
taken for much else than rumors, but the
fact that senators themselves are engaged
In working up case gives color to the be-
lief that something real and tangible is to
be undertaken if colorado case can be
trumped up. The peculiar and unfortunate
condition in which Senator Patterson has
placed himself by voting for the admission
OF his colleague against the wishes of his
political friends, and the cruel law Of
necessity which is to be brought to bear
upon him by his memorable brother SEN
ators is the lever by which they hope to
make him hereafter their plant and ser
Viceable tool, and to obtain his vote for the
expulsion of Butler. In the absence of
any specific information as to what the con-
gressional committee under Cameron may
bring to light, and judged by the reports
which have been put in circulation, it would
seem as if the proceedings against Butler
are too barefaced even for q majority Of
the committee to attempt to sustain.

aERMANY's EASTERN POLICY.


Ever since the beginning of the Eastern
have maintained that Bis
marck, not caring fig for them, is only
ruled by the one thought Of preventing
France from forming any alliance in her
war OF revenge against Germany. By
founding the Fret Kaiser Bund," the
chief object of which aims at settling all
important international questions in &C.
cordance with previous agreements between
the contracting parties, Bismarck succeed
ed in isolating France and binding Russia
and Austro-Hungary by strong ties of
friendship to his country. l do not 60 so
far a. to aver that Bismarck Intentionally
thrust Russia into the war, but / cannot
help admitting that he must inwardly
chuckle at seeing the Gar, who liked to
pose himself as the arbiter of Europe,
entangled in conflict so ruinous to Rus
sia's power and credit. Nothing could
have happened more advantageous to
Germany than the difficulty experienced
by the Gar in overcoming his adversary,
rightly or wrongly considered the weakest
among the European Powers. No victory
ever so glorious can remove from Russia's
fame the tarnish of having been for
months held at bay by the Ottomans. at
Hrst SO UeSplSeO Dy tnem.
THE THREE EMPERoRs' ALLIANCE.
However the war may end, we may be
sure Russia will be so crippled that she
will long hesitate before again unsheath-
ing her sword. AS all the hope of France
for crushing her German foe were centred
on an alliance with Russia, one easily per-
ceives what great profit this country has
gained by the Turco- RussianI campaign,
not only humblinQ the Porte but weaken
ing Russia and rendering her unfit for new
warlike enterprises during the next decade
at least On conclusion of peace, for
which preparations are undoubtedly max
ing, Bismarck and Andrassy will quietly
step in between the contestants and name
the terms on which they will admit re-
construction of the political state of affairs
on the Balkan peninsula. Without being
averse to Russia compromising herself to
some degree tor enormous losses sustained,
these two statesmen will, nevertheless, not
sanction any territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of
their good and faithful ally in European
Turkey. If the Gar should therefore in
sist on acquiring new territories he will
have to turn to Asia, where any extension
of his empire, from strengthening its
power, involves great expenditures and
pecuniary sacrifices, owing to these coun-
tries not being in position to raise the
means necessary for their self administra-
ton. The late Gear Nicholas, the father
of the present Russian emperor, who, in
lS49, was chiefly instrumental in crushing
the Hungarian revolt. only few years
later had the sad opportunity Of complain
ing of Austria's ingratitude in making
common cause with his enemies during the
Crimean war 1t appears that like
feeling will not be spared his son.

BIsMARCK's RESIGNATION

Far greater importance than to the
Eastern war is now being attached to
rumOrs again cropping up of Bismarck's
intention to retire completely from Coy
ernmeut affairs. The chancellor, now re
siding at Varzin, his favorite country seat,
was expected to return to Berlin about
the middle of the month, when suddenly it
became known, that owing to the alleged
unsatisfactory condition of his health, he
would prolong his absence from the capital
until next spring. Various and contradic-
tory explanations were Immediately
ascribed to this surprising stay. Some
assert he is really determined to insist up
on the acceptance of bis resignation, as he
considers himself incapable of conscient-
iously dischargiDg his onerous duties.
Others say the leading statesmen is
actuated by motives of resentment against
hostile elements at court, which he is
unable to remove from the surroundings of
their majesties, or against the strenuous
opposition in the Prussian cabinet offered
to his cherished ideas of radical reform
in the administration and taxation of the
empire In face of the secrecy observed
in government circles respecting the in
terror working of state affairs, | do not
consider myself justified in giving an
opinion, unless based upon unimpeachable
authority, on the conflicting reports explica-
tive on this m0mentous question. Bis
marck's repeated endeavors to free him
self from the burden of official life have
as their motives could always be traced tC
some secondary reason, and therefore
hitherto remained unfuIflled-given rise
to some innate feelings that the great
minister will never entirely sabandon the
administration OF the empire so much IN
debted to his wonderful genius and state
craft.
