New-York tribune., 1880-09-30

holding the little party together with an eye
| to the future. 1t is true that tho alleged
leader of the Pennsylvania Greenbackers has
upbraidei General Weaver by telegraph, but
the chairmau of the New-YOrk State Commit
tee reports the sentiment in this State as over
whelmingly on General Weaver's side, and
the New Hampshire Convention yesterday de-
nounced fusion by resolution.
There is dangerous pause in the naval
operations against DulcignO. The unwilling
ness of the Montenegrin Prince to bear the
full brunt of Turkish invasion, and the
avowed purpose of the French Government to
commit no act of war without legislative con-
sent, compel the British commander to await
orders. In Eng gland the conduct of France
excites bitter comment If the enterprise fails.
itisasserted that the French must bear the chief
burden Of the rid culc which it will provoke,
and it is held that henceforth united action Is
at an end. This only foreshadows the re-
elimination which > likely to arise shonld the
Turks succeed in ID varting the will of Europe.
The Powers may finally discern that when
they concluded the Berlin Treaty they ought
to have provided explicitly for its fuflment,
and that mere blustel invariably fails to bring
the malignant Turk 10 terms.-If, as re-
ported, the Nbanians have burned Dull
cignO rather than surrender it, the bar
barous act will create sensation throughout
Europe. The immediate result of the crime
may be- however. to place the ruined town
in the hands the alcs.
