4 rOVRTH SFCRET TREATY.

British diplomacy has a secret pocket that
will hold more treaties than one. The Schou-
yalofi.Salisbury circular, by which the conol-
tions of European peace were determined IN
advance of the Berlin Congress, was signed
on the 3Oth day of Nay, and five days after
ward was concluded the Convention with the
Porte by which Cyprus was ceded to Great
Britain. These treaties were brought to llgft
within O few weeks. But there were sec )
in reserve. Lord BeacOnslelds lieutenant
in the House of Commons has virtually
admitted that there was another compact
with some Government. Marvin, the c0pylst
in the Foreign Office, who sold copy oil the
SchOuvaloft- Salisbury circular to Ihe d'oOe'
read this secret engagement and evidently
WAS impressed with its Importance, for he ala
not venture to betray his trust by revealing
it's contents On one point, however, he took
the public into his confidence, lie declared
that the treaty was signed on the last day OF
Nav. Although Mr.. Lowe facetiously asked
the Government to tell the country how many
more compacts Of this kind there were, the
secret has never been forced. And now the mys-
terious announcement is made that there was
fourth as well as il third secret treaty. Ihe
London correspondent Of The Manchester
Gudrdida IL seldom wrong in his facts, and
he now aflirms that Mt the close OF the Berlin
Congress Lord Beaconsield and Count An
drassy entered into an agreement respecting
the occupation of European Turkey by the
Russian troops.
BY the Treaty of Berlin the Russian army
of occupation in Bulgaria and Eastern kou-
mclia was restricted TO $4,000 men, to be
MAINTAINED at the expense OF the country.
Tho duration Of the occupation Of that term
tory was fixed at nine months from the
date of the signature of the treaty. II RuR-
sia keeps hor pledge to Europe, her troops VIII
evacunte the Balkan provinces before the 1st
of May. Among the disquieting iumors which
have lately reached our ears, Is one TO the effect
that the army now on the ground has been
increased to 100000 men. If Austria and
England are under mutual obligations to re-
monstrate against the occupation OF Turkish
territory by Russian soldiers after that date,
and to enforce these provisions OF the Treaty
Of Berlin, it is certainly high time that the
truth shoud he known.
New-York tribune., 1878-11-08
THE DEMOCRACY AND THE SOUTH.

The solid Southern section OF the Demo-
cratic party can be credited with the posses
sion of several we'll defined principles. OF
these tho best established seem to be that this
Is white mans Government, and its two
cDrollaries: that every black nun who denies
il deserves to have the hercsy shot out OF him,
and that a white mans government exists
mainly to pay the claims of South
ern white men. On what is compre-
ben.iycly known rs the money question,
the Solid South stands firm against solid
money and in favor Of moro iredeem-
able promises to pay. and in general the Solid
Snuth advocates any small swindle which can
be rerpctrated upon the National creditors in
nrcu.iIly offensive way. so as to soil the
Nnt.onal credit IL much ~ possible.
Bui what distinctive principles erO left to
the Northern Democracy since the last quavcr
nf the fraud veil died away in n thin diminu
cndo Considerable portions of the party
have been dchautly facing each other on op-
po.itc sides o. every question growing out of the
condition OF th" finances aud the currency,
and all the rest have been trying 10 get on
both ii les of ihc -amc questions Upon no
single point save one are all the iostlinS fac
tons here IN full aud sympathetic accord, and
that il III their Snb+cnicncy to the Solid South.
Ii follows that about all there is of the DEM
ocratic party as an OIganizcd aud aggressive
force is in the South. Some parties would have
learned something in the twenty years of his
tory which this country has been making
since 'jS. But the Democracy, especially the
ruling end Of it. is about as glaspmg, as
trcacherous and us insolent rs it was before
the Wnr.

this time the folly OF It's policy in refusing to Je.

The decision of the Treasury Department
in the kid-glOve cases, as made by Mr.
French and approved by Secretary sherman
sustans the action of Collector Merritt. Mr.
French shows that, under the law. there can
he no new appraisement because there cannot Do
an actual inspection of the goods, and that lie
cannot accept the offer of the importers TO
submit the matter again to the same generai
appraiser and the same merchant appraiser
who might make q new appraisal without an
examination, because the Secretary mas no
authority to accept such al agreement where
tho law makes no provision for 1t. In the
process of appraisal itself the Assistant Secre
tary finds that there were no irregularities, and
sustans the right of the Customs officers to cor
rect errors in apprasements before final action
had upon the report by a superior officer
Finally, he decides that the Department has
no power to accept either of the propositions
of the merchants, and thus leaves them with
out hope of a favorable decision except from
the courts.

The general dissatisfaction which exists
throughout Europe In regard to the Berlin
Treaty affords reason TO suppose that
serious effort is being made tn call another
Congress for its revision. The proposed
measure may be source of disturbance. but
if it would avert war it is worth considering.

revise the tariff next year having already
awakened the lveliest interest among the
merchants and manufacturers of the Empire,
there will he further concern if an earnest
effort is made to establish the Customs Union
for Eastern Europe, mentioned in Berlin

trade, and react more or less on our own, the
progress of the scheme caunOt fail to excite

Tucker only about $4,000 votes. In Onon-
daga, Albany and Steuben Counties, also the
new doctrine has been prevalent, and from
these the advices are not yet complete. But
it is plain that something over million of
