Intrigues mt Constantinople.

Germany and Austria are in agreement,
as well informed German newspapers as
sure us, to compel Russia to keep the
peace. aud the point at which, if anywhere,
her activity is likely to endanger peace is
in tho direction of Constantinople. Tur-
key Is. in the theory of this new combina-
ton, to be defended from her Northern
foe; yet Turkey is, at this moment,
on better terms with that Northern
foe than she is with her over
ready defenders or with any other
Power. England also exhibits sudden
eagerness to save Turkey--to force re-
forms, to compel respect for the rights Of
the Christians, and even hints dreadfully
that she will favor an autonomous Arme-
nia and the independence of other prov
inces if Turkey does not forth with behave
herself. All this activity on the part OF
England, like that in Austria and Ger.

if England and the other Powers
could endure with wonderful patience
all the evils that administration in
ficts upon Christians in Turkey until the
very moment when the Sultans govern
ment is seen to be in sympathy with RUS
sian diplomacy-and then their virtuous
indignation breaks out. It was the same
in the times that preceded the late war
between Russia and Turkey. Russian in
huence was then very great at the Ottoman
capital and Nedim pacha whose pres
ence in the Ministry now disturbs
the soul of Sir Austen Layard,
was undoubtedly an active agent
in the furtherance of Russian interests.
England had endured oil the other vices OF
the Sultans government, but could not en-
dure that partic ular one, and thereupon
refused to cooperate with tho other great

The WEATHER.-Thc disturbance that passed
over the northern portion of this State on Mon
day has moved into the ocean of Nova Scotia
and is followed by a large area of high baron
ctcr which dominates the weather over all the
central sections of the country. The pressure is
still falling in the West and the eastern margin
of depression is advancing toward the lower
Missouri Valley. Snow fell In the lake regions
Elsewhere the weather was generally fair, ex-
cept hi the Northwest, where clondncss in
creased. The temperature has risen In the North
west, central valleys and the Gulf States. In
the other districts it remained nearly stationary.
The winds have been from fresh to brisk in the
Northwest and on the Middle Atlantic and New
England coasts, and light elsewhere. The
weather in New York and it's vicinity to-day will
be cold and partly cloudy, followed by imcreas-
ing temperature. Tomorrow 1t will be warmer
and partly cloudy possibly with occasional
rains.

Massachusetts, has rejected General But
Ter again, by much smaller majority than
last year. but one sufficient for all practical
purposes--a majority like Mercutio's hurt,
"not SO deep as o well nor SO wide as
church door, but tits enough, twill serve. :"
Although Butler has made large gains In
almost all the cities, where the new-fangled
Civil Damages act has exasperated real es-
tate owners against the republican admin
istration of the State. ,or where, as in
Fall River, there is a turbulent popu-
lation of factory operatives easily
moved by his demagogism. still this
small republican majority is so we'll
distributed that the Legislature is heavily
republican in both branches. aud Mr..
with Council almost unanimously of his
own political faith, so that he will not be
hampered at all in his executive policy or
appointments.
This is General Buffers fourth failure in
q popular election for Governor of Massa-
chusetts. He.was adopted as democratic
candidate in 1859, 1860 and 1873, as
well as this year. But while he
trained with the republicans during the
interval between 1860 and 1873 he often
sought their nomination for the place, and
they always refused it. If the democrats
are wise they will copy this shrewd exam
pie henceforth and never give him chance
to run again on their ticket. As we inter-
pref the Massachusetts returns of 1879, if
they had resisted his Establishments and
concentrated their whole vote upon some
respectable candidate, instead of dividing
it between General Butler and Mr.. Adams,
they probably would have carried the State
A very considerable faction of the Massa-
chusetts republicans is deeply dis
satisfied with the ruling clique in their
party, of which Mr. Long is the represent
alive. They would gladly have seen 1t
overthrown, but not by General Butler.
A great many thousand republican votes
were cast for Mr.. Long yesterday more
than enough to have reversed the result
which nothing but personal opposition to
Butler would have brought out, and which
would have been silently withheld II the
united democratic party had presented o
candidate not personally obnoxious. There
is warming to democrats all over the
country in this Massac husetts election. A
democratic victory probably has been for
feited by reason of seeking success through
an illegitimate coalition instead of sticking
to democratic principles and making none
but sound democratic nominations.

The example of Ohio is undoubtedly fol-
lowed by all three Western States-Minne-
sofa, Nebraska and Wisconsin-where cleo
tions were held yesterday. All the details
which arrive are significant of general re-
publican gains. In Wisconsin they seem
specially notable. The State was doubt
full one in the Presidential election
of 1876. The majority OF the Hayes cleo
tors was only six thousand in total vote Of
more than two hundred and fifty thousand.
In the election for Governor the next year,
though the republican candidate was
chosen by plurality Of eight thousand
over his democratic opponent, still he was
in minority of eighteen thousand
in the total vote. But such extraor-
binary gains as now are reported from
Milwaukee and Madison 60 for toward re-
moving Wisconsin from the doubtful cate
CORY and CHASING it as almost as surely re-
publican as Iowa Tor 1880.
From the three Middle States-Penpsyl-
vania, New Jersey aud Observation-Disclosures.
besides New York, elections also occurred,
comes the same kind Of tidings. The demo-
Gratis and .greenbackers together outnum-
bered the Pennsylvania republicans nearly
sixty thousand last year, but now a repub-
lican State Treasurer is easily elected, and
from New Jersey substantial republican
legislative gains are reported. In Maryland
the democrats Of course sweep the State as
usual, but by decreased majority.
It is matter for congratulation that
there was some show of opposition to the
democratic ticket in Mississippi and
nevertheless the election passed off
quietly. It appears to have been a very
feeble opposition; but when it is remem-
bered that less than twelve hundred
republican voters ventured to the
polls at the last general election,
in 1877, although nearly fifty-three thou
sand had voted in 1876 the fact Of any OPP
position at all is notable. In Virginia. the
only other Southern State which voted yes
terday, the contest was between the ''debt-
payers" and the ''readjusters," whose
name is euphemism for .srepudi-
ators." There are not returns enough
to indicate the result with certainty.
Ordinary party lines were obliterated, and
it deserves particular notice that the col
ored vote, with few honorable exceptions,
like that reported from fredericksburg,
seems to have been cast very generally in
favor of reputation.

Powers in forcing reforms that were likely
to be carried out under Russian inspira-
ton. That refusal made the war necessary,
and so it might be said that the war was
one OF the results of Russia's diplomatic
success at Constantinople. Russia is now
successful there again, and her enemies
are excited, but it is not probable that this
will lead to another war
