The cession of Cyprus to England by secret
treaty before the meeting of the Berlin Con-
gress, has given rise to great deal OF bad
feeling in France. 1t is regarded as an un-
fair and dishonorable transaction. 1t was
understood that the whole Turkish question
was TO be submitted to the Congress, and
that noseparate action was to be taken out
side of that body. BY her secret arrange
ment with Turkey, England has acted in
conflict with her own reasons for enforcing
the submission of the San Stefano Treaty to
the consideration of all the great powers.
That treaty, relating, as it does, to both the
European aud Asiatic possessions Of Turkey,
embraced the whole question. While the
Congress was settling the future status of
Turkey on one basis, England was surrep-
titiously arranging it on another. Th6Con-
gress has been slighted and the continental
powers have been overreached. The Bona
partists, Clerical and Republican journals
bitterly denounce M. Waddington for his
acquiescence in a scheme of spoliation that
initiates against the prestige and interests of
France. "The dignity of France is wounded
by transaction" says the New York Cou-
rier des Etats Unis, (which betrays its con-
fidence and compromises its interests" AS

Messenger, ought to have Tunis. Italy. per-
haps, may think she ought to have Albania.

"The uery man OF all others aoho has the

SINCE the appointment of the Confederate

SINCE the appointment of the Confederate
General Wright to assist in collecting the
records of the war considerable progress
has been made in collecting records
from the Southern side. There was
little difficulty so far as Federal records we're
concerned, since the reports of affairs are all
on file in the War Department. But this
was not the case with regard to the Confed-
crate army. Many officers of that army being
cut off from headquarters, were unable to
make their reports when the war broke up.
The only possible way, therefore, to COM
plete the records is to obtain report from
the officers themselves. An effort was
made to do this by the Secreta-
ry of War. but many of the officers refused
to allow their reports to pass out of their
hands, alleging that they would either be de-
stroyed or mutilated. Gen. Wright however
has since written to large number of Con-
federate officers, and has received a number
of responses. His plan is whenever he
receives a report or other document
from an officer to have it printed at
once. and then file copies of them in nine
teen different places, SO that there is no pos
sibility of their ever being destroyed. When
ever all records are obtained in this way, they
will be arranged in order and bound in vol
umes numbering from one upwards. Gener-
al Wright thinks that by this plan he will be
able ultimately to secure records of the Con.
federacy complete.

A coRRE.poNDENr of the Boston Herold

CORRESPONDENT of the Boston Herald,
writing from this city, expresses the opinion
that the Greenback movement in Maine has
has reached high water mark and begun to
recede. The correspondents says: "The as
tonishing success of the State convention
seems to have had most unfavorabe effect
upon the members of the young party, in that
it so raised their hopes as to induce them to
do sundry very unwise things since. The re-
suit of the Fifth District convention was not
only surprise to nine out of ten sympathiz-
ers with the movement in the district, but it
has had an effect positively injurious through
out the state, because here there is absolutely
no labor reform element, so-called, no sympa-
thy with communistic ideas, and the congress
sional candidate selected, Mr.. T. II. Murch,
is known only as an organizer and manipula-
tor of trades unions. Consequently he is odi-
Gus, to state the case plainly, to large pro-
portion of the voters Of the State, and has no
personal strength. The effect of this nomi-
nation many Greenbackers concedewill be in
furious to their party throughout the State"

WHERE the civil power of government is
weak, as it always must be under our theory
of national confederacy of the States, the
army or reserve power should be strong, that
it may be handled promptly and used to
crush the beginnings of trouble. The rule of
the Democratic party, however, just reverses
this. 1t cripples, weakens and embarrasses
the army, in order that riots, internal dis
turbances and frontier warfare may get un-
der full headway before they can be checked.
