We wonder if the people Of this country,
those of the grumbling class, we mean.
ever think OF contrasting their condition
with that of the people of other countries.
Take England, for instance. While we
are emerging from a depressed condition,
with our paper currency at par, Il general
revival of business apparent, and the
light of dawning prosperity already seen,
a gloom like pail overhangs our mother
country. The oldest business firms are
failing manufacturers are shortening the
hours of their laborers and reducing
wages. Even farm hands. the steadi
est and most reliable of laborers, are per
vaded by discomfort, and talk Of strikes.
Money is hard to procure, the great elias
gov Bank failure having created general
distruSt on the part of capitalists and
monied institutions. And to crown tile
whole, that country is Just entering upon
a war with Afghanistam, behind which
are very threatening possibilities. Il
must be difficult for an intelligent Amer
lean to reflect upon these things and not
thank heaven that his lot is east lust
where it is. This country is to have q
great and glorious future al cruakers II
the contrary notwithstanding.

The Presidents Messaea

NA>HINGToN, Nov. II. In the forth
Comng Message the President viii make
the reported outrages and violations of
the law in the South during the late Con
gTcssIOnal elections a prominent topic of
comment. These violations will be con-
demned as forcibly depriving a large num-
Der oi citizens, in specified localities, Of
the nights conferred on them by both Ma
tonal and State authority. thus prevent
lng the results expressive of their will in
the administration of public affairs. such
proceedings Will be further deprecated
because they indicate that the pacifcation
OF the South IS not Yet complete, and be-
cause they cast reprOach upon and endan-
ger the integrity Of free institutions. The
subject VIII be earnestly presented to the
consideration OF Congress for such action
as the circumstances demand, with the
view TO preventing recurrence of such
wrongs and to secure the absolute exer-
else of the right Of suffrage
Owing to the decision of the nited
States Supreme Court, that the enforce
ment act was unconstitutional, it not be-
lnT IN specific accordance with the 10Th
Constitutional amendment, and the fail
ure of the House of the 43d Congress to
pass the Senate bill designed to meet the
Judgment of that tribunal, there is no law

colored men, which the act was intended
to reach. The law relative to the elect
ION of members of Congress, however, af-
lords remedy for some of the reported
wrongs, intiicting 4 fine of s., 900 and i'm

structlng the free exercise of voting, and
a fine OF $1,000 and imprisonment for not
more than 10 years on those engaged in
conspiracy for the same purpose.

Russia is proving herself quite match

Russia is proving herself quite match
for John Bull in cunning and diplomatic
foresight. Remembering the experience
of the United States with the Alabama
and her cOnsorts, which were really Brit
ish cruisers under the Confederate flag.
the sharp Russian is preparing to turn
England's example upon her. in the event
of war between the two countries. 4
fleet of fast sailing steamers, manned by
Russian sailors brought over in the CHM
bria, is all ready for sea, bound to play
havoc with English commerce if there
should be occasion. 1t will be remember
ed also that after the Russian armies had
crushed the Turk and had him fairly in
their power, England stepped in and
claimed that no treaty of peace should be
made and no indemnity required by the
victors which should not have the sane
ton of England and the powers generally.
1t is now announced that Russia Will
stand aloof from the AfghaniStan war,
but WILL at its termnation demand that
the terms of peace be submitted to her
and the other great powers for their
sanction. To be sure, Afghanstan is not
much of a power, but the principle is the
same, and England will find it very diff
ticult to get rid of the force of her own
example. The eyes Of the world will be
turned in that direction with a good deal
of interest, and no small amusement at
England's dilemma.

Beaconsfeld and the Assembling of Parlia-
ment.

New YORK, Nov. % 4 London spe-
clal says the British Parliament will be
summoned together on the 18th of Deem
Der This decision is the result of a row
III the Cabinet. 1t will be remembered
that committee, headed by Lord Law
renee, announced its intention to call upon
the Premier for the purpose of urging the
necessity of an extra session. Lord Bea-
constield semi officially announced to the
public that he would not receive the dep
utation. The Marquis of Salisbury. Sir
Stafford Northcote, and Mr.. Cross insisted
in the last Cabinet meeting that the con-
dltiOn of the affairs in the East was suffi-
GENTLY grave to justify an extra session of
Parliment. Lord Beaconstield strenuous
ly objected, and brought all his powers of
persuasion and coercion to bear upon the
Cabinet to defeat the wishes of his col
leagues. He was finally defeated, the
majority casting their votes in favor of
the assembling of Parliament. The real
cause of the stubborn opposition to the
Premier was that his colleagues we're
afraid to give in any further to his policy.
The Queen will sit in the council on We'd
nesday, at which the date of the assem-
bling of Parliament will be fixed. 1t is
probable that the session will last about
a fortnight. 1t is announced that Lord
Beaconsfield's Afghan committee have re-
solved to organize themselves on a per-
manent basis, and publish a statement of
their views.

The inside history OF the great fraud
perpstraisd on the Louisville track on
tho Fourth Of July is printed In our
,~slegraphic columns to-day. and forms
an important chapter in the history OF
the turf in this country. IL appears
that neither Winters nor Harper were
directly interested in the two horses.
although their names were given TO the
public In order to inspire confidence in
the race. The money to make the
match was staked in California, both for
Mollis McCarty and Ten Brock. and
never left the State. The Jockey Club
Of Louisville leased their track. and the
horses were hired for the occasion. Tho
entire management was in the hands OF
one Conlsy. q Spectator. whose only
object was to draw gate money. aud the
charge Is directly made that Ten Brock
was dosed. Notwithstanding the vigilance
exercised by his keepers.
This Is u shameful story Of fraud
that comes to US from tho East. IL Is
printed on tho authority Of Wlts'
Spirit Of TIE Times. which 10 recognized
MS one Of the leading organs Of the turf.
and Is fortified by statements OF facts
which will be accepted as hnal by most
readers. The effect Of the expose will
be disastrous to the American turf. II
ON such tracks AS that presided over by
the Louisville Jockey Club. and with
such animals rs Ten Brock and Mollis
AtcCarty. these disgraceful tricks can be
~resorted to to swindls the public and
cloud the reputation OF thoroughbreds.
what may we not fear upon less famous
tracks and from the manipulation Of
horses that have no regulations to lose'
IL 10 well. however. that the story Is
made public. 1t will point a moral and
adorn many q tale hereafter. The origin
Of four.mile races aud their manage
ment will be more closely watched in
the future. and people before riskinG
their money will be very likely to In
quirs who guarantees the fairness Of the
race.
