GEORGE G. GoRHAM, the Clerk of the
Senate, is out in letter that is vigorous in
tone, whatever its other merits. He says:
"This Administration will only be regarded
as Republican in my judgment, upon the un-
derstanding that the presence of Mr.. Evarts
to the Cabinet is not an Endorsement of the
policy of Andrew johnson; that General
Devens was not appointed Attorney General
because there was any special merit i'm his
having been the Democratic candidate for
Governor of Massachusetts against John A.
Andrew in 1862; that Mr.. Key Is monument
of Yankee forbearance, and not sburnin'
and shinin' light for a. this place. that Carl
Schurz is pardoned (ifnot repentant) prodi.
gal, and not the token of presidential vindi-
cation of the infamous mud campaign of
1872; and upon the further under
standing that our party cannot offend the
President by demanding in its platform obe-
dience to the Constitution and the laws, or
by denouncing the crimes of the Democratic
party in organizing violence and resistance
to both. Ii my view is wrong, if there is to
be milk diet. then much fear that babes
only will seek nourHhment from it. If the
fear OF Southern claims is the only objection
to Democratic rule, let those fight against
that rule who can be stirred only by having
their pockets disturbed. II the present
wholesome disfranchisement of our party in
dozen States is not worthy of passing
comment, then the party is in the dry rot,
and cumbers the ground"

The European Situation.

The indications are that the European war
cloud will blow over. Russia is apparently
preparing to recede from her advanced posi-
ton and to submit the treaty of San Stefano
TO conference of the European powers. She
evidently has no desire to provoke conflict
with England, especially while Austria holds
menacng attitude. So long as the English
only clustered or contented themselves with
resort to diplomatic subterfuges Russia had
no fear, for she could easily outwit the stupid
British dlplomatists. But when England
ceased to threaten and began to arm, when
she settled down into sullen opposition to
the arrangements made at San Stefano, when
she abandoned diplomatic evasions and frank
ly announced that she should consider the
carrying out of the terms Of the treaty
cause for war, Russia at last understanding
that her old enemy was in earnest, discreetly
declined to accept the challenge. The Gear
doubtless remembered the mistake of his
father who believed that England could not
be forced to fight.
1t is not easy to see wherein England has
better cause than Russia. The treaty of
San Stefano contemplates the virtual destruc.
ton OF the Ottoman Empire it is true, but
that result has long been held inevitable.
The autonomy of Bulgaria and administra-
tive reforms in Bosnia and the Herzegovina
are the inevitable consequences of Russian
victory. The territorial acquisitions of Rus
sia are certainly very moderate, and the
money indemnity not larger than it was
thought she would demand. As for the pos
session of the mouths of the Danube that is
certainly not matter that can concern Eng
land. Nor does the freedom of the straits
menace British interests. Neither is it easy
to see how England can put herself forward
as the defender of the treaties of 1856 and
1871, for she broke those treaties when she
sent her feet into the sea of Marmora. 1t is
certainly not the injustice of her cause which
deters Russia from forcing a rupture with
England. Nor is it altogether uncertainty
as to the intentions of Austria.
The true cause of Russia's unwillingness to
engage in another war is the state of her
finances. Her debt is $1,s0O, 100000, and
she is using a paper currency of $4,000
600 which has already suffered depreciation
of forty per cent. The war with Turkey has
cost her $400, ,000,O 900, and has added $50, ,0Oo-
600 year in taxes to the burdens her people
are bearing. Another war would depreciate
her currency still further, would add vastly to
her debt, and would result, herr economists
believe, in national bankruptcy. The condi-
ton OF England is quite different. She is on
specie-paying basis. Her annual revenues
exceed her expenses by three millions of dol
lars. Her accumulated capital has almost
doubled since the Crimean war, while Russia,
under the baneful effects of paper currency,
has been growing poorer. A war would of
course be heavy burden upon England, but
she has ample resources, and it would not
ruin her as 1t would Russia. That is why
the Russians do not 60 to war. They know
that in these days the longest purse decides
the issue of the conflict.
