Affairs in Turkey are at quiet
stand-still at present, the preliminary
treaty of peace with Russia having
been signed and ratified by both nations.
The Russian army is in possession OF
the whole of European Turkey, is for
tifying Gallipoli, and in very short
time can successfully resist all English
encroachments if any should be at
tempted. A Congress of European
powers will soon meet to confirm the
peace, and England will probably re-
fuse to join it, but her say is of no con
sequence now, in or out of a Congress,
and Russia is having things pretty
much her own way all round.

The True AvERsIoS.-The cditoro Of
the Philadelphia Times, in abiding to
the theft of the Presidency, and the
Potter Investigation, gives vent to the
true inwardncss of his soul when he
says: MI. Sherman was regarded and
paraded as the next friend OF Mr..
Hayes, Mr.. Stoughton, as the repro.
sentative Of Gen. Grant, and also with
Mr.. Hale as representing the National
Republican Committee. With such q
backing, the Returning Board thought
it safe to go ahead and commit perjury
and forgery under color of law with
out it, Hayes would lever have been
President. 1t is not supposed that
any of the visiting statesmen actually
took part in the counting in process,
but they must have known, as the
whole world knew, that the crime was
gong on, and meanwhile they kept
their peace. This, we repeat, is the
case against these gentlemen as a body.
1t is not enough to send any of them
to the penitentiary, but it is enough to
cover them with confusion aud dis.
grace, and no denial can do them any
good. There are individuals who have
a much heavier account to settle.

"Mr. Meek has, ever since the begin.

has given and taken as hard blows as
any man ever gave or received. His
claims are now generally recognized
all over the district, and the demand
seems to be that he shall lead the Dem
%ocratic forces in the Congressional bat
tie. He is clear.headed, cool and able,
and would make a Congressman that
the district would be proud of. He Is
a warm, personal friend OF Mr.. Alex

A CLEAR BLuHDER.-A stenograph-

ment that on the night after Eliza

up sensation of the day, and particu-
larly poking fun at Governor Bigler
for the way in which he had swallow.
ed Eliza's lies. This is nonsense, SO
far as Governor Bigler is concerned, as
he was probably the n man among
the Democratic visiting statesmen who
pooh-poohed the story from the first,
and with good reason, for he had been
