fences clearly stated in the complaint the order Of
arrest could be maintained under the Code whether
not the claim to forcclOse mechanics lien could be
sustained In connection with it.

THE SILVER BILL.

The Silver Bill has at last been
passed by Congress, though not with
out some amendments, which make
the bill rather compromise than a
victory for the advocates Of silver.
One amendment limits the coinage TO
not more than $4,000 900 per month
and another does away with free coin
age. Silver before it was demonetiz-
ed stood on an equal footing with
gold and the bill does not place it
where it was. 1t still stands ct dis
advantage. The disadvantage at
which silver was placed by the act
demonetizing it was the fraud, and
while Congress was protesting to cure
this fraud they should have made the
cure entire. AS it is, however, the
passage Of the bill will do much 10
relieve the people. It viii cheer the
heart and strengthen the arms of
those who are battling in the cause
of the laboring masses.

THE PROSPECTS OF PEACE.

There is some hope that the revolt
ing war Ia Europe has reached its
limit, and that not only may peace be
restored between Russia and Turkey,
but also that the threatened collision
between Great Britain and Russia
may be ayerted. 1t cannot be denied
that few days ago the aspects of af-
fairs began to assume a very serious
character, The temper of the Russian
conquerors was obviously inclining to
push things to an extremity. In the
proposed terms Of peace there were
clauses which apparently had a sinis-
ter design; and when these were fol-
lowed by virtual occupation of Con
stantinople by Russian troops, there
could not be other than feeling OF dis
trust and alarm throughout Great
Baitain. Accordingly the Govern
ment readily obtained the vote of e.
100000, and with commendable dis
play of energy ordered the British fleet
to proceed to Constantinople. The
order was Immediately obeycd; and for
a few days any untoward incident may
have suficed to precipitate a collision
between the Russian soldiers and the
British sailors, which would have re-
| suited in p war of the most fearful
dimensions and consequences.
1t is premature to say that all dan
ger is at an end. There are still so
many conflicting interests to harmon
ize; and so many infammable ele-
ments to control, that the possibility
of a rupture must be recognized; and
so long as the British fleet occupies a
position in the Dardanelles, and any
portion of the Russian troops are on
Turkish soil, there is need for the ut
most prudence not only on the part of
Governments, but also by the people
they represent. The most recent adj
vices from all parts of Europe are as
Stunning much more pacific character
than they have had for several weeks
past. There is every prospect that
the proposed conference will be held
for the adjustment of these political
differences.

DEMOCRATS WHO READ THE
"POST' NOTICE THIS.

sonably inquiries, 'if Mr.. Beecher has
really sacceeded in abolishing hell,

If such Radicals as the editors of
the Commercial and Post do go to
heaven, the inquiry will be reasonable
where would Democrats prefer to go?
But it is apparent to all that such per-
sons would make heaven hell. We
believe there is hell-a real brim-
stone hell-and that it will be real

tors of the Commercial and Post.

sonal injury if an opportunity was
offered, but they do not refuse to take
his money.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON. Feb. q, 1875

| WASHINGTON, rep. 70, 1878.
| MessIs. Garfield and Hale yesterday
demonstrated the wisdom of the people
in giving us Democratic House of Rep
resentatives, They spoke on the Louis
ania question. They expressed the com
mon radical regret for the departure of
war and reconstruction times, when one
section Of the country could not only
control the general government, but
! could in innumerable ways interfere in
| the local governments OF another sec>
| tor. Their speeches amounted 10 o
threat against tho South, and ii may be
that they will succeed by threats in a
work Of intimidation, but if they do it
will be the everlasting disgrace not only
OF the Representatives of the Southern
States bat of the Democratic Represen-
tatiye5 from the North. 1t is time that
Louisiana should be as free as Massa-
chusetts, AMI that the authorities of Lou
,siana should realize the fact. Without
the vote of Louisiana, however obtained,
Hayes never could have been inaugural
ed and It does not become him or his
supporters now to deny her all the rights
OF any State that took part in that cleo
ton
Look at Ohio and Louisiana to-day
States equal in every respect under
the Constitution. The former has the
President, the Chief Justice, the Gener.
al of the Army, the Lieut.. General, a
Cabinet Minister and half our foreign
Ministers. while the latter has nothing
bui partial local self government, and
Ohio threatened yesterday on the floor
| Of the House 20 take that away! Where
were the Representatives Of Louisiana
that they did not assert themselves for
once? The remarks of Representative
Gibson, Of Louisiana, and Clymer, or
Pennsylvania, in response to Garfield
and Hale, were tame and not in respect
equal to the occasion.
The silver reconciliation bill having
passed the Senate by an overwhelming
vote, and there being now an absolute
certainty OF lts nnaily becoming law,
other financial matters will be brought
up for action. In the House the Finance
Committee yesterday reported favorably
bill to retire National Bank notes, SUBJ
shutting therefor Treasury notes. The
bill to repeal the act compelling resump-
ton Of specie payments one year from
now will also be pushed. Senator Becks
bill, which provides that the sinking
fund shall not hereafter be increased be.
yond the rate received by law has ma
jority in both Houses, and can be passed

NEW POPE.

The Conclave Of Cardinals has sue
ceeded in the election of . Pope. Car.
dimal Gioncha Pecci was chosen on
the second ballot, and Immediately as
sumed the title OF Leo XIII. The
newly elected Pope is an Italisu, and
seems to be eminently fitted for the
position. His election was a triumph
for the Moderate party, but seems tt
give satisfaction to oil. His corona
ton took place in private in the Sex
tine Chapel, On last Sunday. The new
Pope will remain at the Vatican il
Rome for the present and it is sale
will continue the policy of his predi
cessor.

Virginia House of Delegates has
passed the bill reducing the officers
of the Government and members of
the General Assembly. The bill abol-
ishes the offices of second auditor, first
assistant clerk in the office of secreta-
~ of the Commonwealth, extra allow
ance of each of the clerks of the Senate
and House of Delegates, and office
rent of the attorney general. The of
fees not touched by this bill will be
voted upon hereafter. The bill when
reported from the committee proposed
reduction OF twenty per cent, of most
salaries, but by its amendment makes
a greater reduction. If this bill is
agreed to by the Senate the saving to
the State will be over $4,000 per an
mum.

The public feeling of Great Britain
is still strongly agitated on the sub
iocts of the war. 1t is evident, how
ever, that the Juror of a few days ago
is sensibly declining. Whilst anxious
to support the Government in any just
policy for the protection of British in
terests there is repugnance to war for
mere sentimental reasons, or to cover
up errors of diplomacy; and already
anit-war meetings are beginning to
prevail. If such dire calamity can
be averted, even by small sacrifice,
it is right that it should be.
