The armisice as agreed upon between Rus
sia and Turkey provides for the Surrender of
Rustchnck and Silistria. Seven days were
allowed for the withdrawal Of the garrisons
to Thumla and Varna, the Russians TO march
In on the eighth day. This was not before
understood to be part Of the peace conditions
and will increase tire dissatisfaction of the
Vienna Cabinet. Russia rejects the PROPOSE

Lord Lyons. at one time an Ambassador 10
the United States, and Sir Henry Elliott, for

A rumor prevailed in London that the Gov
eminent bad received information that the
Russians bad entered Constan,inople and were
In possession of several OF the forts. The Lon

dignation at the means by which this act has
been accomplished. The surrender Of the
Turkish war vessels in the Danube is also an

The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher and other
disgraces to the pulpit, after having escaped
that punishment which human law inflicts
upon crime, have finally concluded that they
will be equally successful beyond the grave
and have declared that there is no hell. We
do not know whether there is hell or not
The Bible SAYS there is and we believe it..
Whether the biblical descriptions of it are
merely metaphorical, or whether it is really a
lake of birthstone and fire, is a question that
can only be answered by those who have gone
before. Mr.. Beecher's analysis of the subject
does not shed the slightest light upon the
question as he only reasons with human un-
Outstanding; but after he has passed through
the grave any revelations emanating from him
In regard to the non-existence of hell will be
received with credence, for If there is such a
place omnipotent Justice would not permit
Beecher 10 travel far in eternity without find
ing it.

TIE NEW TARIRF BILL.

Some weeks ago the Committee on Ways
and Means appointed a subcommittee on the
subject Of revenue consisting of Mcssrs. Wood
Gibson, Banks, Tucker and Burchard The
preparation Of a tariff bill was assigned to Mr.
Wood, and the part with reference TO sugar
was prepared by Mr.. Gibson of Louisiana, the
bill has been submitted to the committee. -
Those articles included are cotton and cotton
goods, earthenware, &C., hemp and jute,
liquors, metals, provisions, sugars, silk, etc.,
spices, tobacco and segars, wood, wooden
goods, miscellaneous articles, such as fax,
linen and the like The bill is to 60 into effect
on the LIST of January next, and all importa-
tions not mentioned in II are to be admitted
free OF duty. OF course it will meet with
great opposition when ii is brought before the
House. The protectionst interest generally
will be banded against it, and it may not even
get through the full committee without i'm
portant amendments. The general principles
on which the bill are based are reduction and
simplifcaiion, and with sections directly look
ing to an enlargement Of our foreign trade
The schedules and classi6cations of the pres
ent tariff are followed. slight reduction is
made, averaging about twenty per cent on
the present rates. in the entire list, though in
wines, braudies, segars and other articles OF
like character there is no reduction. There
are no compound duties, the rates being either
specific or ad valorem. There is no free list
Every article that is not dutiabe is admitted
free, without specification or enumeration.
The present number of articles in the tariff
laws is reduced TO about FIVE hundred, all
told, in this bill. Changes have been made
from ad volorem to specific duties wherever
practicable. Il is claimed that this will reduce
The cost Of collection from 81 $50, 900 to less
than three millions. The bill proposes to raise
enc hundred and fifty -four million, nine hun
bred and forty-six thousand dollars, estimated
by Treasury experts upon the average of inn
ports for the past six years. Only one hun.
drsd and thirty-eight millions were collected
last year.

We have heard that some of our County
Commissioners have considered our late arti-
cles upon the large expenditures as reflections
upon them. We were careful TO say in one
of our articles that no blame could be laid
upon the County Commissioners as they were
compelled By law to levy the money. 1t was
the unwise laws we were attacking. Our
Commissioners have been very faithful and
jealous in their inspection Of expenditures
and discharged their duties with close fidelity

AN ARMIsTlcE There will be no more
lighting in Turkey. The military power Of
the Ottoman Empire has been utterly ex-
hansted, and no matter how hard the condi-
tons of peace may be, the Sultan can do
nothing hut accept them. England may take
up the quarrel and go TO war with Russia,
but Turkey will be practically out of the con-
test. The campaign which has resulted so
disastrouslv TO the Sultan has been one of the
most bloody and destructive on record. Rus
STA can repair the loss, hut Turkey cannot.
and to reject the terms of the armistice which
the Gar has offered would he merely to in
wife determination. The cable furnishes what
pnrporis TO be the fundamental articles of the
treaty Of peace, which the Sultan was Obliged
to sign before the Gar would consent to stop
his victorious legioEs on their march to Con-
sian,iEope, Bulgaria must be erected into an
independent province, and there must be re-
forms in Bosnia and Herzegovina. We may
be certain that these "reiorms" will greatly
limit the Turkish authority in those provinces
and will guarantee a religious liberation undsr
which The Moslem faith will fare badly. The
second article in the agreement for an armis-
tice imposes upon Turkey the burden OF pay
ing war indemnity, either in money or ter
ritory, the amount 10 be agreed on hereafter
This article no doubt will be fully discussed
by the great Powers before the indemnity has
been definitely fixed. but the fact that The
Sultan has consented to accept such terms as
may be granted shows the dire extremity to
which be has been reduced The signing Of
these preliminary conditions is In the nature
Of confession Of judgment for such sum or
penalty as the Powers will permit the Gar to
impose. Nevertheless, the whole world should
rejoice that peace has been declared. II will
take half century OF persistent toll to repair
the material damage which this war hath
wrought. Baltic. dmericdR.

TROOPS FOR HOME PROTECTION.

Washington, Oct. 2s.-Ip the opinion Of
republicans in and outside Of congress, the
posse comi,atus" clause of the army bill,
adopted at tic last session, does not prevent
the president from using the military forces
Of the United States to protect citizens ofthe
United States from such outrages as are
being perpetrated in South Carolina. This
was the construction placed upon the posse
comitatus clause At the time the army bill
was pending in congress,
was on this understanding of the matter that
the republicans yielded to the enactment Of
the clause. The democrats in congress in
tended by that law to deprive the president
Of authority granted TO him by the cons,itu.
tion and by the laws as they existed, but
with all their planning and scheming they
missed the mark. 1t is held that the act Of
July 30, 1861, which is now section 1928 OF
the revised statutes gives the president au.
thority to employ the military forces to
break up the unlawful combination. and
assemblages in the southern states that arc
now resisting tie authority Of the United
States. Furthermore, it is contended thai
if this section was not sufficient to meet the
case as It is now presented in South Carroll.
ma there can be no doubt about the applica
bility of the act Of April 20, 1871, which
forms section 5.299 of the revised statutes.
