The SAN STEFANO TREATY.-This treaty
will justly rank among the great events of
this century. By its terms the fate of the
Ottoman empire in Europe is sealed and its
territory reduced to a small triangular dis
trict around Constantinople which has the
Sea of Marmora and the .Egean as its base,
and Adrianople as its apex. This territory
is not so large as the state of Connecticut
The treaty enlarges the Servian and Monte
negrin territory and introduces into the COM
munity of nations the new Bulgaria, a fair
and fertile province, whose coasts are bathed
by the Danube, the Black and Egean Seas,
and whose limits include the stronghods of
Schumla and Varna, Rustchuk and Silistria.
The settlement, if final settlement it be,
leaves the Porte some outlying provinces
but with the central authority weakened,
these will inevitably gravitate toward neigh
boring powers, and snap the slender tie con
Meeting them with what remains of the OF
toman empire. The map of the country
shows how extensive and important these
changes are, and how completely the Turks
have been defeated in the late campaign
Russia has sequestered the Ottoman estate
with consummate skill and rendered it i'm
possible for England or Austria to reorgan
lie the fragments.

FUTURE or THE FREEDMAN.-Iti is now
stated that the emigration to Liberia which
some time ago was talked of as having com.
menced largely, and promised to draw away
many of the colored people of the South, is
likely to receive strong check, if it is not
actually stopped, by the action taken last
Thursday evening by large number of in
fluential negroes at Washington. They de-
nounced the whole Liberian scheme as a
fraud, and heartily endorsed the idea of the
establishment of negro colonies in the far
West. The movement will doubles meet
with the approval of the majority of the bet
ter class of colored people, as well as of the
whites who believe that there are rights of
the colored people to be respected, In view
of the vast area of our unoccupied domain,
it would hardly seem reasonable that any
large numbers of any class of our citizens
should think of leaving, with the expecta.
ton of finding more pleasant places else
where. One reason, perhaps the main one
which has actuated the proposed exodus to
Africa, is the fact that there yet exists the
prejudice against the colored people as
race in the minds of so large proportion of
whites that the negro has hardly had fair
play this matter. Not only does caste to this
day crush them in many ways in the South,
but in every other place in the country the
idea of the natural inferiorty of the race
may nearly be called the prevailing one.
Perhaps it is about time that this idea should
cease to be expressed in the conduct, even
if it has to linger for awhile longer in the
thoughts.

The WAR NEws.-The news from Europe
this week, when thoroughly sifted is on the
whole such as to strengthen the hopes of a
peaceful settlement of the questions at issue.
England has, by pushing her preparations
to the very line of open hostilities, and by
her mastery diplomacy, evidently so far en-
listed Austria and Germany in opposition
to the San Stefano treaty as to cause Russia
to pause and consider. Her recent utter
ances show an apparent desire to give no
just occasion for conflict of blood. This
leads to the hope that better counsels will
ultimately prevail, and conflict of arms
be avoided.

astonishing to relate, the Senators seem
rather to enjoy it than otherwise. Before
