EAULBARSS RETREAT.

Tpbanny Bulgaria is sorely perplexed by the
intricaces of Russian diplomacy. what is the
meaning of General Kaubars's retirement from
the scene 2 Neither the Regency nor the popu-
,,,ion Of Sophia can answer this question with
ort s.rious n,isglvings and marked uncertain
~ II may be interpreted IA portent OF war
mr. as n promise of complete peace. III may IN
voIve q rupture of diplomatic intercourse anu
sneedy preparations for military occupation OF
the nrincipality. 1t may also betoken the re-
sumption of a concilatOry policy when VIII
oyort Furopean war. At Sophia, as our
Vienna dispatch in Yesterdays issue clearly in
Dictated. the gravest apprehensicns of Russian
occunation are entertained. But in London
and other European capitals, as our cable letter
this morning sets forth in guarded terms, the
Bnlparian situation is considered most encour-
aging and pacific settlement, with Prince
Waldemar or candidate equally gOod on the
throne, is confidently expected.
The more hopeful explanation OF General
Kaulbars's retirement seems to us to ouer fewer
difficulties than the cOnjectures OF the aiarh'ls's.
He has retreated because intimidation ana
bullyipp are no longer required Russia mas peeh
wiling we suspect, to accept Prince w aiden'a'
from the outset; but it would nave oeeh
ruinous policy to have openly Supported MIN.
IF he had been proclaimed Russian candl-
date IN soon as he was elected, his popularity
in Rulparia would have been greatly impaired
If the Car really wished him to ascend the
throne. dssimulation would have been the
wisest expedienl. In order to humor the Bull
garians and to overcome European resistance
the Russian Government woald have displayed
sagacity and tact if it had SECRETLY advised
Prince Waldemar to decline the throne, ana
have nominated some such impossible candi-
date as the Prince of Mingrelia. The subse-
ouent abandon nent of the Asian Princes pre-
postcrous claims, the recall of Generai anl-
bars and the summoning OF Conference lor
the revision of the Bul garian articles OF the
Treaty of Berlin would have proved under
this hypothesis natural sequence OF events
The fina, outcome would be the confirmation
of Russa's original candidate
So long as the diplomacy of st. Petersburg re-
mains q sealed hook all cOEjectures are hazard
oUs but this explanation of the real meaning
of the mysterious intrigues of General kaulDsrs
in Bulgaria is the most ineligible one that has
been vet offered. Prince Waldemar may have
been Russa's first choice. 1t he was the
Cars preferred candidate some eXpedlehts
were necessary in order to secure his conlirma-
ton bv the Powers and his hearty acceptance
by the Bulgarian people. Russian diplomacy
with its snbtleties and intrcacies may have
| been equal tdthe emergency.

AN HISTORIC DINNER.

The world is indebted to General Badeau for
the official story of General Grants visit to
Windsor Castle which print on our ninth
page 1.-THE first of the extra sheet this morning.
Nearly decade has passed since that memo
rable banquet was digested; bnt as we read
this description of it We seem to taste the cop
ner.fastened oysters Of old England and sniff
the fragrance of the pousse-cai6. Everybody
has long known that General Grant found
great difficulty in living up to the standard
which had been adopted for him before he left
home: but General Badeau makes pathetic
addition to the category OF his embarrass-
ments. The monarchies Of the Old World are
generally punctiious in the direct ratio of
their "effeteness but England Is notable
exception to this rule. and we may be sure that
when Queen Victoria had arranged that MI.
Jesse Grant should eat, drink and DO merry at
a side table. it never crossed her mind that the
young gentleman would insist OIL stretching

his legs beneath the royal mahogany. we
shudder to think What the international con-
SEQUENCES of Jesse's ultimatum might have
been. If ever since the days of Joshua the sun
was warranted in standing still, June &c, 1877,
was the date. But Her Majesty was equal to
the occasion. For just one second, possibly,
her throne tottered, but bearing in mind Lord
Tennyson's advice about shaping some august
Decree she forthwith decreed that the son
should not be separated from his parents.
Sweet peace descended on two continents and
the doors of the Temple of Janus, which were
bepinning to creak on their hinges, shut to
with bang.
But after all, it is our belief that General
Radeau was, or ought to have been, the hap
pest guest at Windsor On that historic night.
He dined most tremendously with the Queens
affable hor sehold, and later in the evening,
having been summoned to her presence, had
the pleasure of winning from the royal lips one
of those rare smiles which have never yet
failed to disarm the stoutest democrat. And
now that the affair has taken its place among
the shadows of the past, he has the satisfaction
of giving tn the world the Official, or at least
the sen,i-ofiicial, history Of an episode " hich
has been described in hundred versions at n
myriad dinner-tables on both sides of the
Atlantic. Everybody will be glad to read the
authentic story, and the friends of ingenious
youth will particularly rejoice to know that
the Queen never gave Jesse need to utter the
tabled command Pa, introduce her!"

SIC NLEICANT IAILURE.

The Lonsdale- Cameron theatrical cOmbina-
ton has failed in New York, consplcuously
and completely. This failure is highly credit
able TO the New-York public, who have caused
il. The Lonsdale- Cameron experiment was
the mos cynically impudent that has yet been
tried in this city. 1t appears to have been
taken for granted that American theatre goers
would tolerate anything. Perhaps it was
imagined that the Lonsdale title would cover
a multitude of sins. Whatever the theory,
boweyer. there could be no mistake about the
efirontery of the proceedings. Nothing was
omitted which could heighten their resem-
blance to the kind of comedy which happily
finds a congenial home only upon the French
stage. 1t would, however, be libel upon the
worst examples Of the French drama to init
mate that it offers any precedents for the cyni-
cal and shameless coarseness with which In this
case immortality was employed as an advertising
agency.
No worse insult could have been offered the
people of New-York than lay III the implica-
ton that knowledge of such paraded lmpro-
prieties would secure full houses for the actress
whose name they made notorious. 1t would
| have been humllating had this base calcutta
| ton proved well founded, but fortunately the
| brutality of the exposure caused the public
| gorge to rise, and the whole dirty business was
rejected with telling emphasis 1t has some
times been said by carping critics that New
York is provincial it is to be hoped that ii will
always retain provincialism enough to protect
il against such audaciOus exhibitions as the
| Lonsdale- Cameron troupe were heralded with.
It is possible that there are cities where those
methods would have been successful, but it is
we'll to know that they failed here, and not
only the pubic hut the dramatic profe sslon
must be we'll pleased with the popular judg-
mept. All who live by and on the stage have
the strongest reasons forTegarding with dis
may and disappiOval such attempts as those OF
| Lord Lonsdale and his partner to apotheosze
vice and to traffic upon it openly. Acqules-
| cence in this new departure could only mean
DEGRADATION for the drama and deeper de-
| scent than that of the public taste and NOR
ais. If, however, the case was test one,
there can be no doubt about the meaning OF
the outcome. New York has fatty refused to
tolerate the Lonsdale- Cameron company, not
because they were without artistic merit; but
solely and emphaticaly because public opinion
condemned the scandalous defiance OF morality
ex.mplified in the enterprise, which pat
ronage would have seemed to indorse or con-
done. This is condemnation on which the
public deserves to be congratulated.
