REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS.
A Bad Country.

When the treaty of Berlin was made in
ne summer of 1878 Turkey was going to
io great things. Her administration of
ilternal affairs was to be remodeled and
reformed, and England was understood to
have arranged for II sort of paternal super
vision of the advancement of the Turk
toward governmental holiness.
Turkey engaged to do number OF
things as to matters not strictly pertaining
20 her internal government and now after
Two years and more have passed she has
simply proved again that truth is not a
!irt of Turkish plans and that the only
fitting thing to do with the Moslems in
Europe is to bundle them out.
By the treaty Montenegro was to be
supplied with seaport by the cession of
Dulcigno and the neck of land on which
il is situated. The little peninsula is but
i. few miles in length and Dulcigno itself
is an insignificant place on the Adrlatic
sea in about the same latitude as Naples.
The inhabitants of the town and the
adjacent country, however, do not like to
be separated from Albania, and the Alba
mans are determined that Montenegro
shall not have the coveted seaport. The
sultan at first pretended that he would
control the Albanians who are his subjects
hut as they seemed persistent he has giver
up the attempt
The Europevn powers now have a fleet
near Dulcigno to see that the territory is
delivered over according to the terms o.
the treaty, but meantime the sultan has
fallen wholly under the control of the
most fanatical of his subjects and refuses
to do anything toward carrying out his
original agreement.
1t makes no difference that the work
would be difficult for him, the affair shows
all the same that Turkey is a country not
to be dealt with AS civilized nations deal
with each other Power is the only thing
that makes that country do what she
should do. Promises amount to nothing
If Turkey can and VII not carry out
what she has agreed t. she ought to be
punished and if she ca not 10 it becaus,
of the INSTRUMENTATION of some of hel
tribes those tribes should be taken in hanC
and made, by the strong hand of power
to know that government means some
thing.
The southern part Of Europe has fol-
years been infested with faithess wretches
and weak governments that have made
some of the most delightful parts of the
world wretched places where brigandage
and violence thrive. The rest of Europe
should put an end to it.

Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON. D. c.. Sept. 25, 80.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Sept. %, 80.
In political circles here much interest is
felt in the forthcoming reports of the
special agents of the census bureau who
visited South Carolina to make an investi-
CATION of the alleged census frauds in that
state.
Al the census bureau officials are ex-
tremely reticent. and it is impossible to
yet any information whatever bearing
upon this question. A number of private
letters have been received from different
parts of the state of South Carolina which
give some idea of the manner in which
the figures have been manipulated to
produce such astonishing results.
1t is stated in these letters that in sew
eral of the more remote districts the emu
merators have added, in some instances,
AS many as five persons to family by
taking the patronymic and stringing on to
it such given names as struck their fancies
and in other cases creating families and
households, who are dubbed with some
name having such local significance as
would be calculated to Danish suspicion.
To further cover up these latter frauds the
statistical portion of the census was fur
Their doctored to show that these mythical
persons were farmers, and had raised
crops of the various products grown in
those portions of the state, and which are
included in the census. In view Of al
the facts it is generally believed that the
investigations of the special agents have
developed sufficient evidences of crooked
ness in the manipulation of the census in
South Carolina as will compel the superin
tendent of the census to take some decided
action in the premises.
1t is claimed by the republican leaders
that if the business interests of New Yorl
carry that state to the republican column
that New Jersey and Connecticut-in a
sense merely wards of New York-wil'
follow the Empire state. Upon this cal
cnlation General Garfield would be elect
ed by majority of two votes in the cleo
toraI college, after giving to General Han
cock the debatabe states of Indiana, Ohio
and Maine. To coToborate this view it il
stated that gentleman well versed in
politics, who has travelled through New
Jersey, says chat the republicans will
carry that state. He says that Newark il
now "a manufacturing town, only SECOND
to Philadelphia, and that the manufactur'
Ing interests look upon the democratic
party as committed to free trade. For THU
reason, he says even the democratic man
that business. At Paterson, Railway am
New Brunswick he reports similar con
dition OF affairs.

Hancock has warned off the "rebel
claims" with a pretty loud cry if they
were only a bugbear.
The republicans are making more
vigorous campaign in Ohio, where the
Barnum still-hunt has been in progress.
Durbin Ward of Ohio, leading demo-
crat says he is "of the same opinion still"
that the constitutional amendments were
never legally adopted.
Don Piatt says that the group of Off
GERS whom General Mcclellan headed and
was the most conspicuous figure of, had
been taught everything at West Point but
the art of war and the love of the coun-
try"
Now that Hancock has written his letter
in which he dares to speak of the "heresy
Of secession and it is manly letter.
he ought to have some way of making it
certain that the advocates of that heresy
will let him live his term out if he is
elected.
France has been making a change in
her ministry and Jules Ferry is now pre-
mier in place of De Freycinct who has
resigned The change is further mark
of the power that Gambetta yields. 1t is
commonly belived that when President
Grevy's term closes Gambetta will sue
coed him as president of the French
republic.
In his article on bolts, in Scribner I
Monthly, Rev. Washington GLADDEN. says
Il am inclined to agree with Governor
Andrews that in politics as we'll as il

service than the come. cutters In poll
tics one must always bear in mind that
is the best attainable thing that is to b
accomplished, not the best conceivabl,
result that we may imagine that is to b
reached"

in Barre, and we'll known there. &. G.
Leonard is his father, and II. C. Leonard
his brother. Now on the morning of
March meeting, 1873, this L. o. Leonard,
for whose benefit the note was made, and
who received the money from the plain
tiff, was seen to take the cars at Montpelier
for the west, where he remains in con-
cealment now.
The defence, which was ably conducted
by Messrs. w. A. & o. B. Boyce, claimed
that the signature OF Mr.. Averill attached
to the note above was forgery, and the
other gentlemen whose names appear
upon the note also claim that their sigma
lures were forged, but they were not
allowed to testify in this suit, the question
in dispute not being whether Mr.. f. o.
Leonard was forger. but whether Mr..
Averilfs signature was genuine.
After f. o. Leonard disappeared rumors
were afoat that he had left forged paper
behind him; consequently there was a
good deal OF excitement in Barre over it.
The plaintiff being in town on that day.
and learning the state of things, went to
the defendant and asked him about the
note, which he, the plaintiff, held. The
defendant denied the signature-hence
this suit.
So closely does the signature in question
resemble Mr., Averill's hand writing that
the most prominent business men of Barre,
and among them Horace Fifeld, +. ID.
Blackwell, cashier of the Barre National
Bank, +. +. French, Carlos Carpenter and
others, testified that to the best of their
knowledge and belief 1t was genuine.
On the other hand, Mr.. Averill, who is
man of undoubted responsibility in
Barre, swore point blank that he never
signed the note, nor saw it till after Z. ..
Leonard's absconsion.
The direct and cross examination of
witnesses on both sides was very thorough.
but the plaintiff, whose case was conducted
by John w. Rowel and Messrs. Heath &.
Carleton. apparently had the best of It, for
the jury returned verdict for the plain.
TN on Saturday morning, after being out
all Friday night under j. w. Ellis of
Montpelier, as foreman. This verdict il
hard one for Mr.. Averill, although il
may he in accordance with fact and ius
tice, for it will, it is said, take his whole
property to satisfy the amount of the YER

One of the leading dry goods merchants
of New York city tells reporter of the
Evening Post that during the last two
weeks of August and the first week of
September more business was done by his
firm, and the dry goods houses of the city
generally, than ever before in the same
length of time. and that the demand for
goods was entirely natural and legitimate,
with nothing of the boom about it.
The merchant remarked, speaking as u
business man merely that he could see
nothing to prevent years of good times
for this country if the presidential contest
should result in the success of the repub-
lican party. Another dry goods merchan,
of New York talked in the same strain
and remarked that one of the chief infu-
ences in bringing about the favorable state
of affairs is the resumption of specie pay
ments, which gives people confidence in
the finances of the country. This meas
ure, be it remembered, originated with
and was carried through by the republican
party. although the democracy opposed
and denounced it, prophesying dire results
as the consequence Of resumption.

A Republican Prophecy.

One of the ablest of our Repub-
lican journals is the Commercial, of
Buffalo. Its ability sometimes rises
to the prophetic degree.
Speaking Of James A. Garfield
and the other Congressman who
with him took the Credit Mobilier
bribe, the Commercial, on March |
1873, used language befitting a news
paper of eminence and character.
"When," said the Commercial, re.
specting Gen. Garfield and his asso.
ciates in guilt, "when those who
have betrayed the confidence re-
posed in them come up for trial
if they eper dare to do H-THEY
WILL BE REJECTED AS WICKED
AND UNPRoFITABLE PUBLIC SER
WANTS."
Now the people have to pass upon
the most conspicuous Of these be-
trayers of their confidence. OF all
the Credit Mobilier bribe takers Gar
field was the worst-except, per-
haps, Schuyler Coltax.
Is it possible that the judgment
should be other than the CONNER
cial predicted az the time? Can il
be anything else than the rejection
Of James A. Garfield as wicked
and Improbable public servant ?"-

A NEW STEAMSHIP LINE.

STRIVING TO CONTROL THE Ex-

AT WAR.
There has been considerable rival
ry for year past between the New
FORK, Lake Erie and Western, the
Pennsylvania, and the New York
Central and Hudson River Railroads
to obtain control of the export grain
trade. The Pennsylvania road, in
order to contend against the great
facilities offered by the New York
Central and Hudson River road,
made exclusive improvements at
their new depot on the Jersey saoro
of the North River, and completed
arrangements with the Red Star
Line for carrying large grain ship
mcnts to Antwerp and Liverpool.
Two years ago Mr.. Seager started a
line of five ships for carrying grain
alone, and now a new fleet is to be
added to the old one.
One of the new fleet, the Alva, will
leave this port tomorrow, and will be
