THE riotous meetings recently held in Lon.
don in support of the government pretty
clearly indicated that the Turcophiles be-
longed largely to the rabbe, and this view is
confirmed by the remarks of Mr.. Trevelyan,
Lord Macaulay's biegrapher, in the House OF
Commons. .Our army" said he, sis all for
the Turks. Our navy is all for the Turks.
Our country houses are all for the Turks.
All loafers of every degree and rank, all that
class of men who go about in clubs, or draw
ing rooms, or taverns, intent on forming what
they are pleased to call public opinion, are
one and all for the Turks. The London
newspapers are, for the most part, writing on
the same side with an alacrity which have
never seen applied to any previous controver-
sy. Epithets of extraordinary bitterness,
wholesale accusations OF cant, hypocrisy
absence Of patriotism, want of common
manliness, are applied to men whose only
crime is that they wish their countrymen to
wash their hands of all responsibility fol

Judicial Trials at the South.

The trial of the Returning Board now 60
ing on in New Orleans attracts very little at
tention. At the moment the indictments
against them were found public interest in
the matter ceased. Their conviction was felt
to be foregone conclusion. Certain forms
remained to be gone through with but the
verdict was made up when the Grand Jury
presented their bill, and the correspondents
have since busted themselves with trying to
find out who were to be the next victims sac
rificed at the altar of "conciliaton." The
guilt or innocence of the accused has been
little considered because it was felt to have
little bearing upon the result. In cases of
offences in any way connected with politics,
public sentiment at the South has overthrown
in order to secure an Impartial trial to a
party accused. The presumption of law in
favor OF his innocence is nullified by the fact
that long before his judicial trial begins he has
been convicted by the public. The jury by
which he is tried is drawn from the same.pub-
lie which has already pronounced him guilty,
and even if they have the conscience to ac-
omit they have not the courage to brave the
public odium which such an act would bring
down upon their heads. Southern juries are
commissioned not to inquire into the guilt or
innocence of the accused and bring in their
verdict according to the law and the evidence,
but to voice in formal way the prevailing
sentiment of the white population.
To be sure an appearance Of impartiality is
given to Southern trials by allowing colored
men to sit upon the jury. The Southern
leaders are cunning as well as bold and they
make this concession because it serves to ere.
ate a favorable impression at the North,
while it does not affect in the least degree the
verdict. They are we'll aware that one white
juror backed by white sentiment can as
easily bulldoze his eleven colored associates
into agreement with him as white minority
can overpower black majority, no matter
how large it may be, at a Southern election.
The negro has too often felt the cruel hand
of white vengeance to assert his convictions
when they conflict with the white mans
wishes. "Conciliation' has not gone far
enough yet to make it safe for him to declare
his independence, and jury of his complex
ion can as safely be trusted to convict Re-
publican as one composed of whites.
Setting aside the question of the guilt or in
nocence of the Returning Board, they will be
convicted wrongfully. for they will not have
had that fair and impartial trial which is
guaranteed by the Constitution of Louisiana
in common with that of every State in the
c,os
weight of the verdict. Their moral status
will be as far from settlement after the
trial as before. The North will be apt to be-
lieve that they are punished not for any
crime but because they thwarted the schemes
Of the White League. and that the work of
vengeance will not be stayed until every Re-
publican who has dared to be true to his con-
victions has been driven from the South or
punished in some way for his temerity.

THE search for the North Pole is likely to
be renewed in earnest next summer. The
House Committee on Naval affairs has report
ed favorably on the Howgate plan and recon-
mends the appropriation of $4,000. England
will send out two vessels under the command
of Sir George Mares; and Holland has also
determined upon another expedition in the
same direction. Germany has an expedition
in contemplation but has not fully decided,
and the New York Herald will probably in.
vite Stanley to travel northwsrd in the
Pandora. If the Pole eludes all these the
hunt might as well be abandoned.

THE Democratic House is singularly un-
fortunate in its doorkeepers. Fitzhugh, who
was "biger man than old Grant," finds a

the Democratic party really sunk so low that
it cannot furnish decent material for door,

GREECE has finally plucked up courage
and virtually declared war against Turkey.
Doubtless, like Servia she was induced to this
step by the hope of getting some share in the
spoils. She is probably too late and will be
as much disappointed as Servia who threat
ems to continue the war on her own account
till she has acquired all the territory COM
prised in Old Servia.

who, angrier than ever, demanded
still another shot. Clinton, who
felt no enmity whatever toward the
colonel, resolved to carry the COM
bat no further, and hearing the de-
termination of Swartwout, said,
Swell, then, he may go to the
devil. I'll fight no more to-day"
and throwing down his pistol,
walked off the ground, followed by
his friends. The colonel raved like
a mailman, and threatened to kill
Clinton the first time he met him,
without giving him a chance for his
life. But he thought better of it,
and De Witt Clinton died years

among the court, and seeing the
difficulty each succeeding lady ex-
perienced in keeping her counten-

say to the king, Your majesty has

something must be wrong, became

my nose? Ny mother was almost
convulsed with laughter, which she
tried in vain to suppress when she
saw Queen Oharlotte's severe eyes
fixed approvingly upon her. At
last the king understood what had
occurred, and as he wiped the pow
der from his nose he burst into a
hearty laugh, to the great comfort

Angels In she Water.

The bathing hour at Asbury park
is nearly millennial occasion, the
costume of the angels being closely
initiated. Red stockings, blue stock
ings, fawn.colored striped stockings
showing at full length the maturing
limb, lie in profile, three-quar-
ter view, or foreshortened, and anon
some little daughter of temperance
hens her breeches' legs high up
and diseards all stockings, making
the imprint of her ivory heel and
FIVE toes in the sand, and revealing
the aristocracy of her long insteps
delicately nutted on the ankles, like
trim hickory spokes branching from
the hubs OF her light pheton or the
shafts of her white oar blade fiat
tening from the stalk, wherewith
she sculls on Wesley lake. No fat
tening beverage, late hours abed,
no precOeious obesity stuffs the
silken purse in which that maiden
propeller plays freely, the corded
muscles almost flashing as they ex-
press their action transparently.
Her beau is lying on the sand in q
cricketer's suit, his sunburnt arms
black as a gypsy's and bare to the
curls in his arm-pits. Her mother
is reading a hymn book, squatting
beside her papa, who is keeping the
flies off his bald head with the
fragments of his paper collar. The
young man looks only into her face,
where the gentle soul has its win
dows, for in those days when dlsci-
pies washed each others feet they
still sought each others eyes, and
so is love above the earth. The
baby, her little sister, is digging
man-holes in the sand and throw
ing what she excavates over those
yeined white feet. Modesty, like
an invisible sentry, guards the
group, no worse to nature or to
man because the fashion of slouches
miss's ankles in shoddy trousers
has been put by.-[Gath in Phila-
delphia Times,
