THE GEAR is master of the situation. :
His troops are in Constantinople and the
Turkish feet ON the Danube has been
surrenderedto the Russian admiral. If
the Gear Is wise and humane he can
defy all Europe to displace him. he has
but to yield somewhat to the TURKS, and
grant. them their religious rights with
sufficient restraint to make them assist
to fight in the battles with theBritish and
other forces that are likely TO combine
against him. But there Is also other
modes of reaching his ends. He could
place the Duke of Edinburgh and his
wife the (Czar's daughter) in such posi-
ton as to win the good Queens motherly
regards, and subdue the passions of the
cool blooded English. At all events
Christemdom will rejoice that the Turk
has fallen and that Byzantium is once
more delivered from anti-Christ.

Mr.. HAYES is represented as saying
that the public service is suffering by the
hardness of the Senate. and that there is
a disposition on the part of most of the
republican Senators on the committee to
keep the nominations as long as possible
without action for the purpose Of EN-
barr; ssing him. +''+
He would be better pleased if the Sen.
ate would reject the nominations it is not
pleased with than to withhold them in
the committees. The republican Senators
continue to keep aloof from the White
House, ana the record shows that very
few are in the habit of calling on the
President for anything. The nomination
of Northrup for district attorney of Soutl
Carolina was reported on adversely by
the judiciary committee. This is tn,
second time he has been reported al
versely by the same committee.
The Senate evidently wishes to destro,
the Executive influence through the ap
pointments or possess itself of it. Conk
hng's influence in the Senate is stroni
from the fact that he is the "cat's paw
for the Republican Senators.
The daily gazette., 1878-02-07

The BALDEsT and most disgusting as
sertions have been uttered by the metro
politan press since the opening OF the ar
gument ON the silver question that have
ever been witnessed. They have been
regularly beaten from every position they
assumed and now fall back upon predio-
tons as to the direful consequences that
are TO befall the nation If it dares TO re-
coin the silver dollar as it was coined
and used as a legal-tender before the war.
These editors have the supreme vanity
to suppose the great race of men who con-
Quoted the country through all the perils
that nations are liable to up TO the fatal
mistake of the year 1861, are not compe-
tent TO detect fraud and error.
The people know that the nation was
built up by the use of the silver dollar /;
they know that the United States never
had gold dollar until 1851 and then the
country had made such, strides in the
march TO empire as had astonished the
world; had humbled the "Mistress of the
Seas" and made the frog-eaters pay their
debt while man-of-war stood In the
Seine to collect an honest debtin CON-.
No man lives to-day. whose recorded
oath had such potentiality as be who in
his pure and simple Christian faith and
strong I1ish, honest instincts, resting in
the power ofjustice, uttered that thrilling
sentiment that has come ringing down to
us as fresh as whenit came forth from his
immortal mind, "By the Eternali' 81 (
Nothing grander or, more honorable
has been done for America since that
day. tH nn e-iaai.no, sa. i -i.a
Then it was that the nation stood forth
in ali the glory of heryoung and vigorous
manhood, like a very Hercules in all that
ennobles man, and makes the free and
the brave the hope Of the purest and best
Of earth in every cline. aTel- 9HT|
That oath was grander in its sublimity
than any of the recorded sentiments OF
az the Czars Of all the Russias, or KING,
of Europe. The veterans of Wellington
had been made to bite the dust before its
author, and the noblest of the country
men of the ever-to-be-beloved LAFAY-
ETTE yielded to 1t with reverence and
high respect. In the struggles of the
great European Republic that sound to-
day has political effectiveness, because its
people know they have the sympathy OF
every Jeffersonian and Jacksonian citi.
zens of this immense empire i'll the west
ern world.
The idle and silly talk about the silver
OF France and Germany ought to make
honest men blush. These men know that
not single thaler has ever been tempted
here from Germany, nor one single franc
from the horde of silver in France. The
impotent and vulgar charge of jenkins
old Commercial cast at the Democrats in
the House who voted for Blands Silver
bill, that they were "fools and knaves, ,
If it was befitting at any time, might bt
applied correctly to the metropolitan edi
tors for surely none but "consummat,
fools" could expect to convince honest
intelligent men of the truth of what the,
say. We do not believe they are honest
we believe, as has been said in the Sen
ate, they are bought with price.

How IT WILL WoRK.-A Cleveland
man has borrowed SIS, 900 in greenbacks,
bought S14,10 in gold with it, and in
tends to keep the gold till the Bland silver
bill becomes law, when, if his expecta-
tons are realized, he win buy SIG, ,533 sill
yer dollars with the gold, pay with them
his debt af $4,000 and accrued Interest.
and pocket his balance.-Bdito. Sun.
If that proves true il will only show the
locality of the men who demonetized
silver and that the brokers and bankers
had such purpose in view when they
employed John Sherman to have the bill
SurreptitooSly put through the Senate, On
in other words, passed without the due
and legal authority. But the speculatol
will no doubt get his "fingers burned" fol
his credulity in the brokers' schemes.
