THE EUROPEAN CRISIS.

A London dispatch of the 25th says
The controversybetweenE England and Russia
is approaching that dangerous stage where
the point of honor more and more engages
attention. Vienna correspondents say the
full text of the treaty of San Stefano has re-
newed a strong anti-Russian feeling there.
There is no difference of opinion about the
real meaning of the treaty. 1t IL no.
Russian preponderance, but Russian rule,
in European Turkey, and it is just because
such alterations As would remove this fea-
ture would entirely destroy the treaty that
less confidence is felt in the efficacy of the
Congress since its publication. While
Count Andrassy will demand a revision OF
the entire treaty, he will decline to do so in
combination with England, because their in =
teresis are not identical.

MED by retinue OF II Russian Generals, on

The Pecuniary Value of Life.

A certain amount of expense has to
be incurred in any class before child
can attain such an age and such a
| strength that it can earn its own liveli-
hood. 1t is very difficult to estimate
what the expense OF. even q careful man
who passes through the ordiaary univer-
sity career milst have been before he is
able to earn any thing for himself.
Among the lower ranks the problem is
simpler, though the facts and the gen.
eral course of events have, making due
allowance for difference in station, q
considerable similarity. "The value of
any class of lives is determined by val
uing first at birth, or at any age, the
cost of future maintenance, and then the
value of the future earnings. Thus pro-
ceeding, 1 found the value of a Norfolk
agricultural laborer to be f246 at the
age of 25; the child is by this method
worth only to at birth, 956 at the
age of 5; ELY at the age
of 10; the youth f192 at the age
of Is; the young man f234 ct
the age of 20; the man f240 at the age
OF 20, RAJ at the age OF ~, when the
value goes on declining to f136 at the
age of so, and only FL at the age of 90;
the cost of maintenance afterwards eX
ceeding the earnings, the value becomes
negative; at so the value of the cost of
maintenance exceeds the value of the
earnings by f41." A computation. of
this kind places the value of popula
ton before us in a new light. We see
how great the vigor of the productive
activity of the inhabitants of these
islands must have been which has en-
abled the British Empire to make such
vast strides in; material wealth during
the past 40 years, while parting with SO
many of the youngest and ablsst of the
community to colonize other lands, and
to carry to them that wealth which their
labor would otherwise have been worth
to the mother country. -Quarterly Re

his yacht, where his visit was subsequently
returned by the Sultan.
| London dispatches of the 9th are to
the effect that the projected Congress is as
good as abandoned, England insisting that
| the whole OF the Treaty shall be submitted
for arbitration, while Russia scouts at the
proposal. Russia is understood to have
indicated her willingness to- make further
concessions to Austria, and some conces-
sions also to Roumania, being prompted,
it is thought, by growing apprehen-
sions Of differences with England.
| The Berlin Post, one of Prince Bismarck 5
organs, says that the failure of the Congress
might probably result in Russia and Eng
land remaining at peace, but prepared for
| war, and significantly adds: "rhese pro-
longed ornaments England can infinitely
better afford than Russia, who would
be reduced to exhaustion We're she
obliged to maintain her armies on a war
footing for some years. As Russia
can not attack England, while England is
perfectly in position to bide her time, the
Gar will Probably be driven to extend his
conquests in the interval, the better to be
prepared for the collision when 1t does oc-
cur. But in such case Austria and Greece
would join England to protect their own in
terests. As to Germany, she will never
fight for Russian or any other foreign inter-
ests. Russia, therefore, had better restrain
her ambition"
The London Times of the 30th in an
editorial says: Neither the objects of Rus
STA, proclaimed at the outset, nor the events
of the war, justified her advance upon Con-
stantinople or her approach to the Bosphor-
us and Dardaneles. As long as she remains
in that menacing position we shall feel that
it is necessary to retain our ships in the Sea
OF Marmora, and so long, cOnse-
Suently, will peace be uncertain. 1t
is Russia who has trespassed upon the
forbearance of England, not England who
has shown lack o. consideration for her.
That fOrbearance has now been strained to
its utmost limits, but nothing but necessity
would compel us to assert our rights by
force, and timely and temperate conces-
sion on the part of the Russian Cabinet,
would, without in the least degree COM
promising the interests of Russia, insure the !
peace of Europe.

"A REPORT has been submitted to the
House Committee on Banking and Cur
rency by the subcommittee, consisting
of Messrs. Chittenden and Ewing, which
recentfy visited New York City for the
purpose of ascertaiuing the present con-
dition Of the sub-Treasury in that city,
with regard to the amount of gold held
there, belonging to the United States
Government and to others, and with a
view of comforting with certain finan-
cial gentlemen with regard to the prac-
ticability of the proposed resump-
ton of specie payment on
January 1st next. The following are
the substantial points of the report:
The bankers were of the opinioh that
at the earliest practicable
moment was not only consistent with
the public welfare, but was of the great
est Importance to the best prosperity of
the country; also that resumption on the
LIST of January, 1879, might be made
and safe if adequate meas
Tres should be adopted, but all who
themselves on the subject
we're agreed that the plans of the Sec
,etary of the Treasury were inadequate,
md that if he should make. an attempt
o resume on the LIST of January under
uch circumstances IS were likely to ex-
st at that time, the attempt would most
fail. They were of the opin
on also that the RECOMMENDATION of silver
lad seriously interfered with the proba-
,ilities of resumption at the time fixed. |

JUDGE BLATCHFoRD, of the United
State District Court of New York, has
given decision in the suit of the Unit
ed States against ex-Gov Samuel J.
Tilden, to recover Some $3.50, GOO in
come tax, alleged to be due the Govern
ment by defendant, The question at. is
sue was whether the United States was
bound BY the Action of its agent, the AS
SCISSOR, in fixing the amount of taxable
income of defendant, who failed
to make any return himself, but paid
the tax assessed, together with the 5
percent. penalty attached. The Court
holds, virtually, that the Government
was not bound by the action of the Unit
ed States Assessor as its agent, and that
Mr. Tilden was required TO make, Thim-
self, the return of his income, which he
had not done. The case IS now to pro-
coed to trial by ju'y on the question of
the amount of income of Mr.. Tilden
during the years in which he made no
return himself. 1t is said that Mr.. Tilden
will appeal the case TO tho United States
Supreme Court.

goth, and upon motion of Mr. Wood
Chairman of the Committee, resolu-
ten was adopted-yeas 1877, nays IA
making the bill the special order for
Thursday, April 4, and from day to day
thereafter until disposed of. The Re-
publicans voted almost exclusively in
the negative, rs did also the entire Penn
sylvania delegation. Although the vote
may be regarded as furnishing general
indication of the intentions of the House
on the subject of the tariff, it is by no
means conclusive, for it is understood
that several Democratic members, out
of courtesy 10 the Committee of Ways
and Means, voted to make the bill a
special order, who will not vote for the
passage of the bill.

a CAUCUS of Republican Senators was
held on the 30th, at which the relations
between the President and Republican
Senators and the party were freely dis
cussed. According to the report fur
nished the Associated Press, the Sena-
tors generally expressed the opinion
that the Presidents so-called Civil-ser-
vice reform is deception and failure.
While disagreeing with the President in
many important particulars, q majority
were of the opinion that it would be
better to approve of such measures rs
they can in future, rather than oppose
the President for what has already been
done by him in his Southern Cancellation
policy and other measures which do not
meet with Republican approval. Be-
sides, to make an open issue with the
President would benefit the Democratic
party to the injury of the Republican
party. They say they can do nothing,
no matter what Independent course the
President may think proper to pursue
At the same time, they do not impute
dishonesty of purpose TO the President,
and see some things in his Administration
to, approve, but they doubt the wisdom
Of much of his so-called policy AS a
committee of Senators appointed by n
caucus heretofore called on the Presi-
dent with regard to appointments, etc,
and failed to come to an understand
ing, it is considered useless again to APP
proach him in similar way, as tine
President acts Independently of Sena-
torial advice or conference.
