England and Russia.

We find the present posture Of the ques
ton between England and Russia so fairly
and pithily stated by the New York Herald
that we copy its paragraph upon the sub
ject:
England, by her circular, seems to propose
as the condition Of peace that her Interests
shall be substituted for the interests OF Rus.
STA in all places where these are guaranteed
by the treaty. In every declaration the
burden Of her objection to the treaty is that
it protects Russia, does not protect Eng
land, and sometimes provides for Russian
ACKNOWLEDGMENT In a way. that seems to
be to England's detriment- II the con-
ceptions beneath this statement OF Eng
lands position are those that have governed
the course OF the British Government, it
may be supposed that they regarded Rus.
sia's obligations so exclusively through
British spectacles that they had expected
: her when Turkeys resistanc e was overcome
to speedily withdraw all her troops and
hand the conquered country over to Eng
land as sort OF European public admin
istrator, to first help herself from the
estate and afterward pass to all hungry
claimants the crumbs she might not want.
Only IN that way, evidently. could Russl0s
conduct have met with approval from a
government that issues this circular. Eve
rybody expects an English government to as
sert, and to assert distinctly and vigorously,
England's views and claims and demands
in any case that comes before it; but for
an English government to take the position
that a great Power forced into war by
its relation to an oppsessed population
shall wage desperate struggle for hall
a year, give the lives OF eighty thou.
sand soldiers and spend seven hundred
millions and then fail to exact by treaty the
plain consequences of its victory is to ignore
the history OF wars in which England has
been conqueror, or to pretend that Russia
must be governed by different principles
from those that have governed England in
such cases, and to pretend, moreover, that
Russia's standard OF public policy and mo-
rality must be higher than England's.

a LOUD CALL FOR THE WHIPP1NG-P osT.-
The State which has the whipping and
stocks is the one in which crime OF every
kind is less frequent. Delaware, which has
4 stuck to what is called this relic OF barba-
risn, is Stunned by the. criminal classes as
the devil would shun holy water. II now
the whipping and conspicuous pair
OF stocks were held up before our bank pre-
siGents and cashiers. saving-bank trustees
and the like, how long would it be before
the press found a dearth Of news in the de-
faulting line p Elizabeth IN. ~ Herald.
The point Of this paragraph, showing the
salutary power Of the whipping-post in
preventing crime and warning off the ras as
Gals and scapegraces who are. seeking to
live by plumber instead of work, is indis-
putable. ss
The concluding sentences OF the para
graph, relating to bank men and trustees
in savings institutions, are not adapted TO
this latitude. They do not apply here, we
are proud to say; but we. admit them as
entirely proper In q. large part Of the United
States. To put a stop 10 the infdelity OF
chose custodians Of other peoples property
alluded TO, the Chinese law In the premises
would be altogether effectual. That law----
so the Joke goes makes the heads Of the
officers Of such institutions a part of the
sassets Such q law as that would have saved
the money Of the poor people OF Chicago,
who suffered from the faithlesshess OF the
savings bank Ulcers there. }s

GEoRoE WASHINGTON had not q clearer tstle

hut IL WAS adiudicated BY the Electoral
Commission, tribunal almost equal ID
dignity to the Supreme Court, and passed
upon and affirmed by both houses ioi
Congress. Mr.. BLAIR attempts indeed 9
hopeless thing when he seeks TO get some
State TO appear as complainant against
HAYES. It has been asserted that State
can have no standing as complainant IN
such q case, and that only the claimant
to the seat could be allowed to bring bis
claim before the court; but the right Of
HAYEsis too clear to permit OF even re.

the exercise Of that power must be accepted
SIS undeniably true and conclusive by the
other departments and by the world. But
the fallacy Of the argument is easily appa-
rent. Undoubtedly it is general princi-
pie. and as we'll applicable to one depart
ment of government as another, that when
any man or body OF men IS charged with
the exercise OF, power and OF deciding
as TO the time or the occasions OF its
exercise, the bona fde exercise OF the
power is binding upon all persons within
the sphere Of its operation, and is conclu-
sive as to the propriety or expedien ~ OF its
exercise. The law having created o tribu-
nal for the purpose Of deciding ana acting
IN special matter recognizes and enforces
thataction as necessarily final. tits upon this
principle that the judgment Of judicial
court is binding upon the parties to the
suit and upon the other departments OF the
government. It is upon this principle that
veto of the Governor OF an act Of As
semblY is binding upon the Legislature
unless oyerruled by a constitutional major
ity. And it is upon this principle that an
