PRINCE GORTSCHAKOFFS REPLY.

Prince GOrtschakOff's reply to the British
circular is cOnciliatOry in tone and argumenta-
tive IN form, but the logic is very keen He
is too wary dipomatist to irTitate unneces-
sarily nation whose warlikc instincts have
been aroused He does not fire off pistols in
the air. He argues the case with the business
like precision and sustained confidence of a
LAWYER who knows that he has strong
brief and that all the questions of
law and of fact are in his favor. He
takes up the objections which the Marquis
of Salisbury has raised to the Treaty of San
Stefano, and traverses them one after another.
The territorial cessiOns he justiiics as the
natural consequence of the war, and he con-
tends that if Great Britain wished to avert
them she should have joined Russia in enforc-
ing the righteous demands OF the CONSTANT
nople Conference. This ground of defence is
certainly very strong, especially when we bear
in mind that the British Foreign Office was
officially informed OF the Interior designs of
the Russian Government as early as last
June. Quite as acute il the ChanccllOrs rea-
soning concerning the claims OF Thessaly and
Epirus, on which the British Government has
laid great stress since the Treaty of Peace
was signed, although 1t had labOred unceas-
ingly during the war to repress the zeal of
the Greeks, and to prevent them from joining
the circle of alliances against the Porte. He
points out that by the modest reforms stpu-
lated for in the treaty, his Government has
avoided the appearance of either establishing
Russian supremacy or utterly neglecting the
Greeks. Here he presents the finest and most
delicate edge of his diplomacy. When he re-
fers to the occupation of Bessarabia and the
reconstruction of Bulgaria, his method is
coarser. He declares that as the freedom of
the Danube is secured by the International
Commission there is no longer any pretext for
declaring Russia from reestablishing her for

BUSINESS AND THE BANKS

The condition of the banks deserves especial
attention. Their legal-tender average, accord
ing to the statement of Saturday, was only
1886. go, 100 and this average for the week
was probably in excess of the amount actually
held on Saturday. This is an extraordinarily
small reserve, even for this season, when a
considerable depletion is usual. About &c.
100000 in legal-tendcrs has gone out since
the beginning of February. The outflow dur
ing the same season last year was about
S3.5O0,O00; in 1876, about $11,0OO,OOO; in
1875. about 100000; aud in 1874 there
was an increase of legal-tender reserve until
after April l. But the balance in the banks
was much smaller at the beginning OF the
year than usual, so that a not unprecedented
drain leaves the reserve reduced beyond pre-
cedent. 1t is expected, however, that there
will be large increase of the legal-tender
reserve from this time forward, and this eX-
pectation is warranted by experience. Last
year the banks gained 100000 by June
80; in 1876 they gained $22,0O0,OO0 by
August o.; in 1875 they gained $4,000
600 by August 8: and in 1874 about

II is announced from Albany that the veto
of the Governor has, after all, been fatal to
the supplementary chapters of the New Code
not because of the lack of votes to over
ride the veto, but because of the diff
entity of getting them together. This leaves
the whole question in an extraordinary
middle, which the Senate has tried to clear by
authorizing the appointment of commission,
consisting of members of the present Legisla-
ture, to report upon the whole matter to the
next Legislature.
Sir Wnfrid Lawson undertook hopeless
task in moving an amendment to the address
thanking the Queen for calling out the re-
serves, but he succeeded in showing that
there are with himself sixty-three members
who are not afraid to denounce the dan
gerous policy of the Government. As this
minority included Mr. Gladstone and Mr..
Bright, tie member for Carlisle can afford to
disregard the censure of those who wished
him to remain passive in order that Europe
might suppose that England is a unit for war.
The caucus of the Republican members of
Congress displayed wisdom and moderation in
preparing for the Fall campaign, which were
all the more gratifying because some Outburst
of hostility TO the President was expected. The
TRIBUNE has urged with great earnestness
upon the leaders of the party the supreme
duty of harmony, and the Republicans in
Congress have evidently come to a like con-
clusion with us. The Executive Committee
which has been appointed is not hostile to
the Administration, and the spirit of the
meeting was In the highest degree conciiia-
tory. Victory lies that way.
Dr. Howard Crosby III a letter on another
page declares that the agitation of the Excise
question in the Legislature is the one thing
which paralyses the administration of the law

Hard times are among the legacies of the
war. The vast army of tramps is anotherrclic
of inflated money In the army young men
acquired habits of luxury and idleness which
have descended into debauchery and total
loss Of manly independence. Speculation ana
REGULATION have contributed their full share
until we find ourselves overburdencd with
taxation. We are paying war debts and inter

government thieves, to replace the money sto-

If the government were to print cords and
tons of greenbacks, had it power to print them,
and stack them up in pile of the dimensions
of Buffalo Rock, it would not benefit these

the court house fence, would have to take off
their coats and 20 to work and earn their dol
