The European Situation.

LONDON, April 18.-Prospects of peace
may be delusive. Many experienced
diplomats entertain fair conviction that
an apparent truce is taken by England
merely to get proper breath tor effective
action. The frmness with which Glad.
stone makes his public statements, and
the cold, calculating exactness with which
he phrases his utterances, all tend to
convince those who know the premier
we'll that he has determined upon a
policy which, no matter how surprising
it may be when announced, will by no
means be one of retr0gression.
Gladstone has made some retreats du-
ring his ministry, but he has always, on
these occasions, betrayed himself by
indecision and unevenness in his parlia.
mentary statements. To all interroga-
tories in the house of commons during
the past week he has presented the very
perfection of frmness in his replies.
Where a questioner desired to know
something which the government were
not ready to confde to the public, Glad.
stone has straightforwardly refused to
give information, and has plainly based
his refusal on public policy.
In nearly every other case the liberal
leader has been frank to his constituents,
fair to his opponents and unimpassioned
and truthful toward the Russians. 1t is
admitted even by the premier's enemies
that his conduct has been like that of a
man strong in fore knowledge about
results, like that of man managing we'll
a case with many ugly features. Glad.
stone appears to have his entire case in
hand, seems to be unembarrassed by
prospects and undoubtedly has the full
sympathy and cooperation of his entire
cabinet. As sporting man states it,
"Gladstone is playing waiting game
and knows ell the cards 2" It would ap-
pear from all this that the premier has
another coup de theatre prepared for the
next weeks vote of credit day. Hence
although all surface indications warrant
the statement that the prospect is one of
peace, the only description of the actual
situation which can be given as literally
accurate is contained in the statement,
tsue situation is practically unchanged" !"
Of course such a statement is rather
oracular, but 80 is the situation, for no
one outside of the cabinet seems to know
just what it is. 1t may be set down as
absolutely true that the rise and fall of
war talk during the ten days past has
been largely due to speculative money
interested in making sales or purchases.

BE comMrrrED NO CRIME.

The declination of Gen. Lawt0n OF
the appointment 70 the Russian mission
is considerate, and was prompted doubt
less by desire to relieve the embarrass-
ment of the Administration to which the
appointment has giver rise, and is the
manifestation of those feelings of deli.
cacy which always characterize men of
fine feelings and sensibilities like Gen.
Lawton. We think Gen. Lawton is
correct in declining the appointment,
for with great Difference for the learned
gentlemen who hold a different opinion,
we believe Gen. Lawton is ineligible.
Under the theory of the Union Of States,
which We think the true one as matters
existed before the war, any State which
was party 10 the compact of Union had
a right to withdraw from that Union.
The citizens of the seeding States com.
mitted no crime in obeying the behest of
the States to which they owed allegiance,
and committing no crime they were not
the subject of Presidential amnesty.
The Southern States were conquered in
the great struggle which followed seces-
sion, and at the close of the war were
nothing more nor less than conquered
provinces of the United States. The
conquering power saw fit t, restore those
provinces to the position of States of the
Union upon the terms imposed by the
amendments to the Constitution aud the
reconstruction Acts. In these they pro-
vide that certain citizens of seeding
States should be disqualified from hold
ing Office under the new government,
except such as should have their disa-
bilities removed by Act of Congress.
The Presidents pardon was valueless, in
in our view, for no crime had been com-
mitted to be pardoned. The States who
left the Union had only exercised q
right, but in exercising this right had
caused reSOEt W dIus Wu1Su ASouAseu ~
converting them into conquered provin-
ces.
These provinces were restored to the
position of States in the Union upon
such terms as the conquerors dictated.
Under those terms, Gen. Lawton, among
thousands of Confederates who had com.
mitted no crime, was placed under GER
tain disabilities, which could only be re-
moved by Act of Congress. These dis
abilities we're arbitrary, but they were
potent and haye never been removed !;
therefore, it seems clear to us that Gen.
Lawton was ineligible to hold any Office
under the general government. we do
not see bow any Southern man can take
any other view of this question without
casting an imputation Of dishonor upon
the South. The result of the war has
changed the whole theory and obligation
of our Union. 1t is now stronger gov
ernment, and has binding claims upon
the individual citizen, and to resist its
process or seek by secession or by sedi'
ton to dissolve it, would be treason.

,,M,,IoREPREDIcT1oNs.

The Greengille News quotes from the
IErEILIeENcER of last week, and com.
ments as follows:
If Governor Thompson wants to be
Governor again We predict that he will
easily succeed himself. - anderson lntelA-
gencer.
If Governor Thompson wants to be
Governor again, ne predict that he will
not succeed himself, easily or any other
way. Now.
There is nothing easier than prediction,
esteemed contemporary. We never al
low anybody to surpass US in the predict
ing business. It requires no capital.
Our contemporary is right in asserting
that it requires no capital to engage in
the predicting business, and this probably
accounts for the fact that two rural pa.
pers, like the Ne,us and the INTELL1sEN-
GER, are enabled at this financially dry
season of She year to indalge in such
amusements. It is a cheap diversion, it
: is true, but it is nevertheless q much
surer test Of the accuracy Of ones judg-
ment than to allow events to transpire,
and then assert that one knew it would
be- SO. The INrELL1GENcER is always
careful, that its predictions shall represent
the actual belief of its Editor, and,
therefore, /. frequently is surpassed in
its predicting capacity by our more
knowing contemporaries, and cannot
attempt to keep pace with them, because
We like to be able at the solution of the
problem to be able to tell our friends,
eve told you so," as it has been our
privilege to do in several important in
stances. Inasmuch as we have stated
in the prediction business with our con-
temporary as to the next governorshlp OF
this State, We will not only stand by the
prediction We have made that Governor
Thompson will succeed himself, If he
wishes to do so, but we will even 60
further and predict that he will carry
both Edgefeld and Greenville Counties
in, the nominating Convention, the
GresnvilIe Neus and the appointment OF
q Clerk Of Court for Edge6eld County to
the contrary notwithstar ding. The peo'
ple of South Carolina know good Off
Ger when they have one, and are always
ready and willing to uphold him in the
conscientious discharge of his duty.

War between Engl and and Russia is
now regarded as almost inevitable. The
Southern farmer had better prepare for
itby making cotton his crop for revenue
only. Raise corn, peas, vegetables aud
meat at home, so that if cotton goes
down to seven cents per pound, as it
probably will. we can live at home, and
await the better times that are sure to
follow the war.
