THE YEAR.
MEMORABLE EVENTS OF 1877.
A CIRCUIT OF THE WORLDS HISTORY.

The year has been one of the most slgnif.
cant in modern history. The United States
have passed through the abysses of a Preslden-
tal controversy and labor instruction, only
to be menaced in the end with financial
disorder. AT the outset the Sultan set
at defiance the will of Europe as ex-
pressed by the representatives of the six Great
Powers and now, at the close Of The campaigns
in Bulgaria and Armenia. he is suing for peace.
In the diplomacy of the Continent, the Triple
Alliance has absorbed the functions of the Con-
ference. A prolonged political struggle during
which the Republicans have maintained per-
feet self-cOmmand, has proved that France is
ripe for self government.

AZ the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce. to-
day, some brave words were uttered concerning the
matter OF railway discrimination against the trade
of this city. We shall patiently wait to learn if the
result is to be different from that of all former af-
fairs of the kind. and is to be anything but words.
Ii WAS given out that the railway presidents
had telegraphcd to the gers of the Grand Trunk
and of the Vermont Central Railways proposition
that the arrangement of all Their difficulties should
besubmtted to Commissioner Fink, and that pending
his decision, the rates from Boston should be adj
vanced TO equal those from New York. The leaving
Of the settlement of the question In dispute to Mr.
Fink would be much like leaving it to Mr.. Wander
bllt. Ii is barely possible that the Grand Trunk
and Vermont Central may fall into the trap-but it
il not likely. The humor of the thing how
ever, in view of the meeting of the Cham
Der Of Commerce. is in the proposition that
rates from Boston TO Chicago shall be "a
high Us from New-York. The great protector
OF Now-fOrks commerce, the Central and Hudson
Railroad allows to Philadelphia and Baltimore
lower rates than to WORK. because of shorter
Distances while Boston. which is fifty miles farther
Nom Chlcago-the basis Of oil rates-than is New
York. is asked To be contented with rate no higher
than New Yorks. This may be protection TO New
York, but 1t is Of the kind, which for five years has
