Tn. vexed Eastern Question.

We do not perceive any evidence Of the
confidence of either Russia or England, as
represented by their respective govern
ments, in the issue of peace from the pro-
posed congress. It is inconsistent with such
q hope that the Russian army should be con-
and near the Ottoman capital and that it
should be fortifying Rodosto on the Sea Of
Marmora and threatening Gallipoli. If
England believed in peace she would not
be hurrying her iron-clads to the East and
preparing for great conflict. 1t is said
that the war party dominates in Russia,
but it may be truly added that similar infu-
ences prevail in England. Russia's objects
have been very clearly defined, and she has
the advantage of being now in position to
realize them. England's interests in the
East are undoubtedly great, but she pos
sesses neither the power nor does she occupy
the position to defend them. All depends,
therefore, on the action Of Germany, who at
present apparently leans to neither side,
but says of the situation, "What are
you going to do about it2" The con-
gress, if it ever assemblies, will furnish
the answer, but we already hear Of change
in the programme by which simple con-
ference for the discussion Of definite ques-
tions will be summoned. AS the confer
ence of Constantinople was followed by the
outbreak of the present war that which is

south Carolina's plunderers.


The story of the official robbery of the
State of South Carolina by the band of bad
and disreputable men who managed to OBJ
tain control of her government is in gen.
eral way pretty familiar to the newspaper
reading public. They have been again and
again told of their unblushing corruption,
unparalleled bribery and wholesale robbery
in nearly every department, but they have
yet to learn the full infamy and rascality of
these men in the minor grades of crime and
corruption. For the last twelve months a
joint committee of the Legislature has been
unearthing the details of this secondary
villany, and the testimony it has taken dis
the other legislative robbery and corruption
of the past fifteen years completely in the
shade. The correspondence elsewhere
printed presents picture of Legislative
wrong doing which has never before been
presented to an American public. and
which, fortunately, there is slight probable
ity will be presented in the future.
The late legislatures of South Carolina
seem to have gone to work deliberately to
rob that State in evory possible way, and
how well they succeeded is shown by the
correspondence printed this morning. In
one session alone there was expended three
hundred and fifty thousand dollars under the
head of supplies, sundries and incidental
expenses" and Of this sum one hundred
and twenty-five thousand dollars was spent
in Refreshments. A bar and dining room
were attached to the legislative chambers,
where the patriotic statesmen ate and drank
at the public expense while the teachers of
the public schools were unpaid and con-
victs were set free from the penitentiaries
to save them from starvation. Under the
head Of stationery" they charged to the
public treasury the expenses Of furnishing
their houses, the support of their mistresses
and the cost of expensive jewelry. There
was scarcely IN item of personal expense
which was not set down to the public ac-
count. In fact, Senators and Representa-
tives left their private bills with the ac-
counting officers and they were returned to
them settled and receipted. Tweed's rule
in this city and State was pure and spotless
compared with the regime Of the South Car
olina Ring.

conference. If Europe in general, or even
the nations composing the Latin Union,
will consent to take part in such confer
ence and should be able to agree on COM
mon silver standard, bi-metalism might
be adopted with tolerable safety. Without
such an agreement silver will cease to be
coined in Europe except for small change.
1t is impossible for the United States or any
one nation to give that metal the requisite
terest of the United States as silver
producing country to extend the mar
ket, and for its interest as a COM
mercial country to have money Of the
same value as that Of other trading nations
If the United States and the Latin Union
can agree on the same system of bi-metal-
ism the nations composing the Latin Union
will again open their mints for the coinage
Of silver, and gold and silver money may,
perhaps, be maintained at par. At any
rate this is the only chance of imparting to
money Of both metals the same value and
giving stability to silver. 1t is next to
certain that Europe would require us to
uuOpt lIS TdtlO "a 6l1VeT W BoAu,
which is 15A of silver to / of gold,
instead Of our standard of about 16 to
l. This would require US to add three
per cent to the amount of silver in our dol
lar, which would not only be moderate
change in the right direction but one which
would advance the value of silver bullion
by opening to it large market which is
now practically closed. and will remain
closed if we do not come to ON agreement
with Europe. Until this most important
question can be determined we should not
make our mints too active, for if we are to
change the standard in concert with Europe
all the dollars Of 4129 grains would have to
be recoined. As the law allows six months
for the conference it will be quite in ac-
cordance with its spirit for Mr. Sherman to
coin only two millions a month for that
length Of time.
