The Egyptian Situation.

England has abandoned her dictatorial
tone in Egypt and subordinated her ar
rogant policy to the demands of the
powers. At Thursdays sitting of the
conference at Constantinople the British
ambassador announced England's sub
mission to the proposition Of the other
powers, formulated by the Italian en-
bassador, for international protection of
the Suez Canal. The English demand
for supreme command of Turkish troops
in Egypt has been abandoned, S.,si
England's condition that Turkey must
enter into military convention with
her before landing troops there was re-
jected by the conference. The Sultan is
preparing to proclaim Arab Pasha
q rebel for having transcribed
his authority, and. for having menaced
the war vessels of Turkeys old friend,
England. He says obedience is due solely
to The Khedire, arho is the representative Of
the Sultan. And so Turkey appears in
Egypt with a military force free from
English control. So long as the Sultan
pleases Arab will continue under the
ban of the proclamation (if it issues).
But by the terms of this very proclama-
ton, to which England has agreed, the
Khedive may grant amnesty to Arab
and his followers whenever the Sultan,
whom he admittedly represents, shall
yield his assent. That is to say, the
Sultan has triumphed in the diplo-
matte struggle, and may at any time
render continued English intervention
unjustifabe by proclaiming, either di-
rectIy, or through his vassal the Khedive,
that the Egyptian rebellion is ended.
The Sultan is in condition to be great
convenience just now to whatever Euro
pean combination may choose to avail
itself of his admitted rights in Egypt.
He can use England to crush Arab, or
he can cause the Khedive to haimonize
with Arab, and politely request England
to withdraw from pacifed Egypt. The
game is becoming intensely interesting.
The Sultan is probably moving as he is
moved by expert players.

AS 10 the Next Housc.u

Says our CHEEKY neighbor the Post,
"when one takes a calm survey Of the
situation, looking at the facts of the case
as they exist to-day, il seems as if the
probabilities were strongly on the side
of Democratic SUCCESS" But when that
one who takes the calm survey aforesaid
is the mcrcurial Hutchins, and when
almost every other calm surveyor is Of q
contrary mind, it prompts us to move to
strike out the word "Dem ocratic" and
insert the word Republican. The Demo-
cratic party is in fearful state in New
York, Virginia, North Carolina, and
Tennessee. 1t will not elect five men,
bers in both of the States of Virginia and
North Carolina. In other Southern
States are score of districts hitherto
counted certain for the Democracy which
bid fair to send good anti-Bourbon rep
resentatives. Tho divisions among the
Republicans in the North are rapidly
being healed. Already the fcver of re-
volt in Pennsylvania has given way TO
calmer and comparatively healthful
condition. In New York the indica-
tions are that the utmost harmony
will characterize the campaign. There
is absolutely no ground for
breach in our party anywhere. Per-
sonal antagonisms there have been, the
effects of which are yet felt to some eX-
tent, but very few Republicans are going
to leave their party and go over 10 the
enemy in order to crafty personal feel
81 .F.
We cannot see where the Republicans
are to lose any members, while the South
has many districts in which Bourbonsm
is on its last legs. We shall gain four
or five in Virginia, rs many in
North Carolina, and dozen in
the other Southern States, while
the panic may extend rs the campaign
progresses, so that, instead of fighting
every foot of ground for our gains, Bour-
bon stampede may leave us in possession
of fields we had hardly hoped TO contest.
1t is settled fact now that men who are
not elected will not hold seats. The last
session has taught that lesson. If q num-
Der of false protenders arrive here
with certificates to which it can be
clearly shown they were not entitled,
they will be very likely to have less delays
granted them while they are drawing the
salaries of the men entitled to the seats.
We commend to Judge Hutchins another
calm survey of the field, and he will see
old Parson Massey running for Congress
man-at-large in Virginia because no
Democrat dares to run against John S.
Wise. He will see the old time Wing
leaders in North Carolina aiding the
young Democracy in political revolu-
ton which will never go backward. He
will see rebellion against Bourbon rule
breaking out all along the line, and Vir-
ginia and North Carolina must have
taught him that it is very contagious
Why, even the Post may yet catch the
inspiration. What sight it would be to
see Stilson Hutchins Mahoneizing New
Hampshire.

Some Things to Consider.

In the fierce scramble for the new
clerkships in the Departments it would
be well to consider the fact that the law
vests the appointing power in the heads
of departments under whom the work is
TO be done, and not in the thousands
who want the places Then it does not
follow that because one does not get a
place the person who does is an unworthy
person. Reporters for newspapers
would do we'll to take with many
grains of allowance the charges
made against successful applicants
by those who are unsuccessful. Stories
about Democrats being appointed, and
Union soldiers left out, are generally
found, when sifted, to be untrue. The
exceptional cases are usually found to be
where the appointing power is imposed
upon by Influential persons, who conceal
facts concerning the obnoxious person.
Tie presumption is that all appoint
ments are good ones. The assertion of
the contrary is not proof. If anyone
knows anything against any appontce,
it's his or her duty to make charges
to the power that can correct the
wrong. 1t is folly rs we'll as
monstrous injustice toward the appoint
ing power to rush into print with loud
outcre5 without q single specification.
No newspaper should give voice to such
complaints against appointees without
naming the accuser and the accused.
Anything else is mere iroth and often

rex or create sympathy by charging that
other women who have places are inn
proper persons, nor do they convince
anybody that their prayers for place have
been unwisely disregarded by in
dulging in misrepresentation and
alb II is the FIRST duty of
the Departments TO secure competent
clvrk-. No man or woman has any supe-
or right TO be chosen over any other
man or woman. Women who have to
support themselves ought TO have a
chance for employment and so ought
men who have TO support wives, sisters,
mothers, and children. The people who
want employment being fifty times more
numerous than the places to be filed,
there must always be great disappoint-
ment and distress. II is a sad thing TO
sce. But because ten thousand people can
not be put in four hundred places it does
not follow that Secretary Telleris hard
hearted brute. lie is, on the contrary,
u kind-hearted, upright, Christian gentle
man. THE REPUBucAS does not sympa-
thize with loose statements, made by
irate people against either the Secretary
or his new clerks.

Hon. wilIlam M. springer Decorated.

The minister of foreign relations OF the Re-
public OF Venezuela has presented Mr. Springer n
communication from the President Of that Re-
public, notifying him that with the consent Of the
Federal Council he has conferred upon him tho
decoration of the third class Of the order of the
Bust OF the Lberator. The communication states
that sit is the highest honor that that country
can confer upon its distinguished officials and
also upon those whether natives or foreigners,
who make themselves worthy OF this illusirOus
distinction by their eminent merits or BY the
vices they render TO mankind or 10 the civii1a-
ton of nations" Mr.. Springer is probably tho
OF the third class and It is the highest that he is
eligible to- as the first and second classes are
fined to presidents of Venezuela, kings or presi-
dents OF republics and ambassadors, Mr.. Springer
has filed the communication and Enclosures with
the Secretary OF State until such time as Congress
shall give consent to its acceptance, aud the Pres
dent Of Venezuela has been notified 70 that eleet.
