Russia and RonlanQ1sm.

10 IL not unreasonable to suppose that there
Is some truth In the contention OF Poster
LLOYD. the Hungarian official organ, that the
Pan-SIavists staked their hopes upon BOU-
LANGER's success In the late election, that bis
election fund WAS derived in large measure
from Russia, and that FLooUET's defeat was
due TO his dislncIlnstioa to pick quarrel
with Germany or Italy, and thus
give Russia full play. B0ULANGEE
has q large following. He represents the
idea Of opposition to Psrliamentiarism and
is exceedingly popular with all the disaf-
Iected elements Ia France, but his plurality
was 70 great as that It immediately suggested
the free use OF money and QUAY and DUD-
LEY methods In working up his organiza-
ton. should the sscendency Of Bouangism
culminate in trouble between France and
any Of the slgnatory powers 10 the
triple alliance, Russia would be just
90 much fleer 20 carry out her
long-cherished designs as TO the Balkans.
The triple alliance is an alliance against
Russis, a. we'll as against France, aud the
former has recently exhibited renewed rest
lessness under the restraint the agreement
imposes upon her. For Russia to undertake
single-handed to break the Gordon Of bayo-
nets the agreement represents would prove
very dangerous, would doubtless prove a
very disastrous. experiment. To undertake
the task an alliance with France would
involve better show Of success. However,
even should Russia not become the open
ally Of France should France go TO war with
Germany, Italy, or Austria-Hungary-aud to
70 to war with one would be eventually to
20 to war with all three-the alliance OF the
three Powers in SO far as il holds Russia In
check would OF necessity be weakened and
the Car would see his way clearer To
become aggressive. These facts, we
think. Undue Poster Lloyd's assertions
with the indications of probability TO say the
least. Certainly they show that Russia has
an interest In the triumph Of Boulangism,
and We know that Russian gold ard Russian
emissafies are seldom lacking when they
are necessary TO carry point.

The Loney Case.

That was a ver7 interesting case which
Judge HuGHEs decided on Tuesday against
the state Of Virginia and in favor OF The
United States; for this Is what the LosEY
case wss in effect. That Is to say, The brst
question Involved and 20 be decided was
whether the United States court bad exclu-
sIye jurisdiction ia such eases. Judge
HuduEs evidently desired to decide the case
Alright, and we are not prepared to say that
be did not do so. At aoy rate he bad so
much confidence in the correctness oil his
decision that be rather encouraged than dis
coursged tBe counsel for the Commonwealth
when they signided purpose 10 take the
case up to the Supreme Court OF the United
States.
The opinion OF Judge HUGHEs, however,
in the LoNEr case may be unsound notwith-
standing that his decision Is right. For ex-
ample, Judge HUGHES said:
This writ Is issued by authority OF section
1h3 of the Revised Statutes OF the United
States, which allows 1t in any case in which
the prisoner has done an act that Is TO say.
has testified, "iR pursuance OF a law OF the
United States"
That strikes US ss a most singular argu-
ment or statement. Had LONEY sworn false
~ ain pursuance Of Law OF the United
states"s II not The law quoted by Judge
UuoHEs does not protect him. Suppose that
of the moment he swore falsely he had COM
nitted an assault upon the notary public,
and had been sent to jail for the offence,
would he have bren entitled TO writ OF
h0beas corpus 10 take bin out OF the hands
OF the States officers on the ground that In
committing the offence be was doing an act
Gin pursuance OF a law OF the United States y
IT seems TO us tut there Is fatal flaw in
Judge HuGHEs's argument on this point
We quote the law:
"Secton 753 The writ OF hdJeGS corpus
shall In no case extend 90 prisoner In jail
unless when he Is 10 custody under or by
order OF the authority OF the United States,
or Is committed for trial by some court there
Of; or il in custody for an act done or omitted
In purs uance OF Law OF the United States.
or OF sn OF der, process, or decree OF court
or Judge thereof" ne, &c.
Notice the phrsseology. 1t implies simply
that the Federal courts must allow no man
10 be punished for an act done by order Of
tho United States or by order OF Federal
Judge. II does not mean that a man may
commit crime whilst executing an order OF
court or carrying out a law Of the United
States snd yet be protected by the Federal
authorities.

The Philadelphia Presbyterian recently
said:
"Itisalate but somewhat singular reyela-
ton that the leaders OF the late C0niedefacy
in the south, now happily buried and not
much incurred, proposed among other novel,
ties 10 establish church IN connection WIFE
the state. The story rests upon the authority
OF Rev. DR.. McFerran. leading Methodist
divine, who died lately IN Nashville, Ienn.
u was his Inference, he said, from all that
he gathered while serving as Chaplain In
the southern army; aud so persuaded was
he Of the correctness Of his inference that he
was enabled thereby 10 bear the results OF
the contest with great equanimity."
The Central Presbyterian comments as fol'
lows:
eve have heard a great many things in
the past twenty five years, but this Is the
first time we have heard OF the above project.
We ought TO have known something about IT,
having been pretty we'll posted during and
since the war about southern affairs; but II
comes to us now as sn entirely fresh piece oil
information. The Presbyterian does not
seem TO have warm side for anything south
ern."
In returning to Richmond from DanviIle
in 1865, soon after the surrender at Apo
mattox Courthouse, we conyersed with a
gentleman on the train between Burkeville

self for the Death Of the COniederacy by the
reflection that he had escaped an established
church, which, be said, would have been one
OF the results OF successful secession.

ernIneut ever bestowed upon fbcm. We
would have the concurrence Of every iaIr-
minded man OF the North.
Respectfully, ParL X. GooDLoR.
We agree that female voters were never
contemplated" But sill the same, rs white
women aud negro women are alike citizens
OF the United States, white women csnpot
be made voters without making the negro
women voters. Plainly a law providing that
white women should have the right 10 vote,
but negro women should not, would be uh-
constitutional, seeing TINT the Constitution
declares In so many words that the right oil
citizens OF the United states TO vote SHAH
not be denied on sccOunt OF race. The
states can deny the right TO vote for any res
son except race, color, or previous eondi-
ton OF seryitude. They can require an edu-
cstionsl qualification, property qualihca-
ton. or an age Qualification.
The word "sbrldged" IN the fifteenth
amendment does not imply one wbi, more
than the word "denied" that the persons
affected by II were "slready voters" 10
fact the fifteenth amendment is negative, not
positive. II expresses In rs own way the
Federal command that thereafter 90 citizen
should be denied the right to vote because
he or sbe was negro. You may propose to
make voters Of The white women because they
nre intelligent; but when you establish an
educational qualification or an intelligence
qualification the Constitution steps 10 and
says that negro women who possess these
qualifications shall not be denied The right
to vote on account Of race, color, or pre-
vious condition of servitude; and negro
women could by the writ OF mQadamRs OBJ
tanned from Federal court compel the regis
trsrs to register their names aud ,he election
officers 10 receive their votes.
