The Eastern War About 20
Come 10 an End.

The Times Vienna correspondent
says: Advices from Turkey show that
the works of Adrianople are partially
armed aud untitled to resist an attack
In Constantinople it is believed pos
sible that Adrianople may be carried
by a coup de main. The fortified.
tions Of Constantinople are conse
quently being looked to as a last re.
source, although they seem to be in
even Il worse condition. Everything
points to the confusion and dismay
Of the Turks.
The Times correspondent at Blu.
charest saws: A new complication
seems TO have arisen. The Remanians
talk of declining TO submit to an ar.
mistice unless it is separately arran-
ged with them. 1t is thought they
have possibly been instigated by the
Russian military party.
The Daily Telegraph's correspon.
dent at Pera says: The Grand Duke
Nicholas, in his telegraph TO Porte.
asks that two Turkish delegates be
sent to meet him at Kezanlik, and
that they should have the fullest pos
sible powers. The meeting Of the
Grand Ottoman Council, held on Sun
day, consequently appointed two
plenipotentiaries.

IMPORT ENTRIES OF GOLD.
Totals, sls,9lO,0OO ~, 788,g 0O

According to these figures, our total
exports of gold coin and bullion, in the
eleven years amounted to $490, 650, 1888,
and our imports to SAB, GA ,l66, the ex-
cess of exports over imports being $3.50
sos, S27; and this gives an average an
nual drain almost equivalent TO Il an
nual production of gold, which the Di-
rector of the mint estimates ut $35,OOO,-
900. The foreign demand of us for gold
during the eleven years specified, aver
aged 81, 123 per cent Of our entire eX-
ports Of the precious metals. We have
chosen to resume specie payments in
the kind of metal which is the scarcest
in production, most difficult to get, and
hardest TO keep, and thus have heaped
obstacles in the path of our efforts. In
deed, we have been exporting our gold
coin faster than it was issued from the
mints, and thus have been steadily
drawing upon and diminishing the
previous stock of coin in the country.

The Christian denomination.

The Christian denominations of this
country are, at this time, in many of
the States, holding their annual con-
ventions and missionary societies.
There are, generally, reports from
home and from foreign missions read at
these meetings plans are discussed for
sending the gospel to the heather in
strange lands Earnest, and, no doubt,
honest men and women eegage in the
work of home and foreign missions,
without looking back over the work of
the churches for the last fifty years.
But, would it not be well for them to
do so? 1t is true, that there are more
people in the United States to-day than
there were fifty years ago; but, if the
gospel will do good in heather lands,
why does it not make Christians out Of
heather when they come here? Is
there not something wrong? Then why
is it that there is more crime to-day
than there has been at any past time
i'm the history of this country? There
are more churches; more preachers
more conventions; more books; more
papers; more Sunday-schools; more
free schools; and yet more crime. The
land is full of fine mceting-houses, and
splendid organs may be heardssin many
of them, the preachers are men of etlu-
cation, and the rich pay large amounts
for church privileges, and yet crime
prevails in Svery church community as
well as where there are no churches.
What is the matter? Is the gospel
wrong? Have the preachers forgotten
the cross? Take nearly all Of the great
criminals for the past five years, and
you find them church members, How
is this! Who can answer? May it not
be that both preachers and people have
forsaken religion for money and pleas
ure? There are 10 good old times,
where piOus men and praying women
meet to learn, and to instruct and,
above all, to help the poor and needy.
These thing sare now done by charity
societies, and the rich no longer wor-
ship by the side of the poor a
Pride has separated the people Ha-
tired has abolished love, and money has
taken the place of truth and justice.
Let the churches reform at home be-
fore sending missionaries abroad.

Death of Victor Emmanuel.

The telegraph of Thursday last an
nounced the death in Rome, Italy, of
King Victor Emmanuel |. The de-
ceased sovereign was formerly King of
SARDINIA, and was born in Turin, March
II, 1920. He was the eldest son of
Charles Albert and Teresa, daughter of
the Grand Duke of Tuscany. He sue
ceeded his father as King Of SARDINIA,
Immediately after the disastrous battle
of Tunis, in which he bore a conspicu-
part, in March, 1919. BY the treaty of
April, 1875, he joined the Anglo-French
alliance in the Crimean war, and the
position of SARDINIA as a political and
warlike power was greatly elevated.
The marriage of his daughter Clotilda,
to Prince Napoleon, in January, 1859,
was followed almost Immediately by
the wal for Italian independence in
which France and SARDINIA took the
field against Austria. Victor Emman-
ucl lOh AiC bhiulild OOlS III Nv w
ring this struggle and greatly distin-
guished himself for valor and other
solGierly qualities. After the battle of
Magenta, he entered Milan with Ma
polean ILL.,, and on the field of Solferi-
no found himself face to face with the
Austrian General Benedek, whom he
defeared after a severe fight. On the
18th of March, 1861, he assumed tho IL
tie Of King of Italy, bestowed upon him
by the Italian parliament. 1t 1871, his
Capital was transferred from Florence
to Rome, where he took up his Quar-
ters in the Quirinal. lie was in the
2Sth year of his reign at the time of his
death.
Prince Humbert, who has already
been proclaimed as the successor of
Victor Emmanuel, is thirty-one years
of age. He is a mar of considerable
vigor, and, at the age Of fifteen, was
commander of a brigade under his ia
thrr In the war against Austria.

Judge Hey as a Candidate for
Governor,

y great deal is being said just now
about the Republicans running Judge
Key as the "Honesty" candidate for
Governor, hoping to gain the votes of
what honest men there is left in the
Democratic party. We know Tcnnes-
see Republicans well enough to say
they will never take up the Judge"
lie has already turned traitor to his
own party by acccptinga an appointment
under and Supporting nm opposition adj
ministration, and we are SURE the Re
publicans of this State will never take
up any man whose only qualification
and recommendation are that of being
II traitor to another party. There are
plenty men in the Republican party
who are as honest and much stronger
than Key. To nominate Key would be
Il disgrace to the party, and would only
result in an overwhelming defeat:
whereas on the othor hand, if the Re
publicans:will nominate such a man as
Senator Smith, of Memphis, they will
gain enough of honest men out of the
Democracy to elect him. Then the
State vii. have a Governor who cannot
be bribed and bought up as Brown and
Porterthave been. But suppose Key
should be elected, he has already sold
out for $4,000, and would not SIS, 1000 buy
him again? 1t appears so to us at least.
We repeat it; and mark our predic-
tions-Judge Key will never be the Re
publican nominee for Governor of Ten
neSsec.

II. V. Redfield, the newsy, but not
always reliable, correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial, writing from
East Tennessee, says there is a strong
feeling in favor of Key, Republican
Postmaster General, running for Gov
ornor ,of Tennessee on the State credit
ticket. Key is a renegade of the worst
type. lie SAID in his place in the SEN

would be a usurper and a fraudulent
President. In two monthsl afterward
lie accepted a place in Hayes Cabinet.
And yet IL Key runs for Governor, and
I'll, Democrats run a repudiationist on
n Reputation platform, the former will
be elected. There are enough men in
the Democratic party to defeat a repu-
A%iationist, even il they have to take a

Postmaster General Key was asked,
what would be his course if the anti-re-
pudiatiors in Tennessee should call ON

Mr.. Montgomery Blair's memorial to

test the legality with 4 view to Gust
President Hayes, If his title should lie
found defective, bids fair TO react rath-
or damagingly on the mover. What
ever the motive, whether to keepTilden
prominently to the front for a renomi-

his own aspirations TO represent Mary
land In the L. s. Senate, or TO substi-
tute Mr.. Hayes by Mr.. Tflden through
a bloody revolution, lac seems bound TO
miserably fail Of accomplishing more
than a feeble sensation. No represen-
tative Democrat here appears ready to
endorse Blair's disinterestedness i'm the

Collector Sim III ons, Of Boston.

Mr. SIMMONS was appointed collector Of
the port of Boston some four years ago, amid
great opposition. lie was denounced by
the Boston journal especially rs obnoxious
to the merchants who would lie Obliged to

REPUBLICAN supported Mr.. SIMMONS at
that time, almost solitary and alone, be-
cause it happened to be acquainted with
his efficiency us u supervisor of internal rev.
enue and rs q revenue agent, and II natu-
rally reasoned that a young man with such
n record in these respects rs he presented at
the Bureau of Internal Revenue could
hardly fail to be the proper man for col
| lcctOr OF the port of Boston, where the ut
most vigilance was necessary to prevent
smuggling, both by passengers from Europe
and the British colonies, and by the Off
GERS and crews of vessels. Mr.. SIMMONS
was thoroughly educated in the school OF
political economy that teaches the
doctrine that condemned ANNANIAs
and SAPPHIRA. He believes thai
those importers who keep back par
of the price while they swear that they re
port the whole are guilty of robblng tn,
honest men who pay the full amount o
their legal taxes He was appointed Il
