Turkey In Europe-The latest Phase of
the Eastern (Question.
From If Herald.
In our Paris lottor, published on Wednesday,
(e gave the programme of a movement for the
further disintegration the Ottoman empire,
Originating in the landu hetween the Danube
nl the Balkan, where the Moslem power can
Jeaat bear to be put to any now test. The pro
gramme is simply a project for the revival of
the kingdom of Bulgaria, extinct since the
fourteenth century an ancient Christian
power, overwhelmed and borne down by the
original irruption of the Turks into Kuropo. It
thus proposes to rpad backwards the melan
choly chapter of modern history that made a
great Christian population the slaves of a bar
barous race, and to commence the reconstruc
tion of that part of Christendom at the point
where the sword of the fanatic stopped all
progress. The particulars of the programme
merely indicate points in the constitution of
the projected realm; but these points are sig
nificant of the nature of their origin. They
idiow that the project has grown up in the
wide-spread influence upon the people of a
preat recent example the success of Hungary
in demanding from her tyrannical ruler a
separate national organization and govern
ment. Hungary is made the model for the
establishment of the new power. . Just as
J'rancis Joseph must be crowned King of Ilun
pary, so the Sultan must be crowned King of
Bulgaria before he can legitimately rule; and ho
must rule also through a minister and a na
tional Bulgarian Parliament. We are told
that the Servians, Montenegrins and 'Ireeks
are leagued with the Bulgarians for tho sup
port of their demand, and that its denial will
inevitably be followed by violent measures.
Its acceptance would itself be a great revolu
tion ; and thus, in either event, we appear to
he on the eve of a remarkable change iu the
political and social condition of one of tho
most interesting portions of Europe the
border land of centuries of struggle between
opposing creeds and races.
Whether the establishment of a new king
dom, including a portion, perhaps all ot
European Turkey, and sure to be soon inde
pendent of the Padishah, is to be tho accepted
solution of one of tho most troublesome of
political problems, time only can tell; but
the case is one that presses for settlement, and
a, settlement must soon be found. Moreover,
according as that settlement is good or bad, so
will Eastern Europe be disturbed or at rest
for a century to come. The wonderful strength
and the great necessity of Russia will bear
down the scale against the ideas of the West
ern powers. Russia is ambitious of maritime
development and naval greatness. Peter
Stamped that tradition ineradicably upon her
policy when he became a ship carpenter.
1'rozen up through half the year in her north
ern extremity she requires a southern outlet
through the Euxine, and will have it. That
33 a part of the inevitable future, and Russian
preponderance in the Mediterranean will be
the result. France and England stopped this
once by force of arms. They cannot do it
again. Let France move now and she will
Jind that a united Germany of fifty millions of
people is her next-door neighbor, and is in
close alliance on this very point with Russia.
Let England move, and India is gone. Rus
sian military posts are established within
Striking distance along the whole Indian fron
tier, and any undue expression of British sym
pathy with Russia's foe will deprive England
of the vast wealth of her Asiatic empire. She
"has given hostages to fortune," and must
look on with folded arms. In view of all this
what part should the Western powers take in
this present movement. They should en
courage by every means the setting up of this
new kingdom. The continued domination of
the Sultan in Europe furnishes the pretext
that Russia wants. So long as her move
ment can take the shape of intervention for
the protection of oppressed Christians it will
commend itself to the prejudices of Europe
and all will be easy; but a Christian kingdom,
luling all the lands from Hungary to Greece,
will be a bulwark against her, and her first
great difficulty.
The War Panic.
YiDm the Herald.
Public securities here, as well as abroad,
liave been unreasonably affected by the result
f the negotiations for the purchase by France
of the duchy and fortress of Luxembourg. It
turns out that Holland has no right to sell
either, and even if she had, Prussia occupies
the fortress with her troops, and as possession
is nine points of the law, the Dutch prudently
lefuse to conclude the bargain. France cannot
well make a casus belli of this ; but if she
were disposed, she is not ready to do so. Her
new plan of military reorganization will take
at least twelve mouths to complete, and Louis
Kapoloon is not fool enough to enter upon a
campaign against Prussia, strengthened as she
now is, until he is prepared at every point. A
eecond military failure, following close upon
that of Mexico, would destroy his prestige with
the French people and probably lose him his
throne. It is all very well for the purposes of
Stock operators to start such an alarm, but a
great many things may occur before it has a
chance of realization. France is no more in a
condition than Prussia to commence a contest
fraught with such tremendous consequences.
The revenues of both have need of nursing,
and it would be an act of supreme folly on
their part to provoke an expenditure which
Would burden them with debt for half a cen
tury to come. Still there is no reckoning on
what the ambition or fancied necessities of a
ruler like Napoleon may drive him to. There
is only one thing on which we can count in
liis regard, and thai is that he will not provoke
a Euronean war until ho is prepared for it,
and that will certainly not be within a period
which should exercise any present influence
upon our stock market.
The Reconstruction Law In the Supreme
Court.
From the World.
It is understood that the Mississippi appli
cation for an injunction will be argued in the
Supreme Court to-day. We suppose that
not even Judge Sharkey himself has any
sanguine hopes of the success of his applica
tion; but if there were one chance in a thou
sand, lie would probably feel bound to make
the attempt. If the law cannot be defeated
ly this method, It can be defeated by none;
for long before a repeal is possible, the law
would have spent its force. It would have
expired by the completion of the new State
organizations.
As between political agitation for repeal and
an application to the Supreme Court, a sound
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAriL PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY,
judgment would unhesitatingly prefer the
latter. Even if the advocates of repeal could
carry every election, in every State, from this
time forward, this full measure of political
success could not ellwt the repeal of the law
short of four or five years, owing to the long
terms of the Senators. One-third of the pre
sent Senators go out at the end of two years,
another third at end of two more years; and
supposing the forty-second Congress to meet
at the regular time in December, 1871, we
could hardly expect the repeal before 1872.
But long before that time (unless the Supreme
Court interpose), the States will have been
reorganized and admitted, and the law have
expired by its own limitation. Political agita
tion for repeal would therefore be nugatory.
No reasonable choice remains but between
frank submission and an application to the
Supreme Court. It is creditable to the South
that opposition to so abominable aud oppres
sive a law takes this mild, orderly, and peaoe
able form.
The Supreme Court will probably decide
that the question is political, and that it has
therefore no jurisdiction. For any practical
result, the Court might as well allirm the
constitutionality of the law as to disclaim
jurisdiction. The law will continue to be
enforced all the same whether the Supreme
Court refuso to set it aside on one of these
grounds as on the other. If, as it seems to be
generally supposed, the prayer for injunction
prove fruitless, there are circumstances in the
political situation which may partially recon
cile the applicants to their ill-success after
they have discharged their consciences. Tho
Supreme Court cannot put an injunction on
Congress, and forbid it to exercise acts of
legislation until it first admitted the Southern
members. Matters could not, therefore,
be much mended, and might, in some re
spects be made worse, by a judicial decision
setting aside tho law. Congress would be
enraged and stiifened, and would make the
most offensive use of such of their powers as
the Supreme Court cannot reach. Each of the
two Houses is as much a court of last resort
in deciding on the qualifications aud admissi
bility of its members, as the Supreme Court is
in dociding questions purely legal. As there
is no constitutional authority to review their
action in excluding members, they would shut
out the Southern States indefinitely, and could
not be called to account. It Is well known that
all the recently-appointed judges are Repub
lican, the retirement of most of the Southern
members of the Court at the beginning of
the war having created vacancies for Mr.
Lincoln to fill. Some of the conservative
judges are far advanced, and in the ordinary
course of nature cannot remain long on the
bench, and there is a law forbidding any new
appointments till the number is reduced to
seven. If the present law should be set
aside, matters would revert to the same
state they were in before its passage, and
Congress would hold on awaiting a change in
the character of the Court. As soon as this
should take place they would revenge them
selves by the passage of a worse law, if worse
lie possible. V lth the prospect, the almost
certainty that things would take this turn, i
the Southern people will have no great !
cause to grieve if the Supreme Court dis- I
allow Judge Sharkey's application, as it pro- '
bably will. They long ago had ample oppor- I
tunities to know, in the Dred Scott case and
the fugitive slave decisions, how little the
Republican party care for the judgments of
the Supreme Court. There is no real remedy
for the existing evils but in putting the party
out of power; which can be soonest done by
prompt reorganization and bringing the South
ern vote in'.o the Presidential elections.
The Perils of Maximilian.
From the 2'imea.
Our Government has acted commendably iu
interceding with the Republican authorities
of Mexico for the personal safety of tho Em
peror Maximilian. The Austrian Prince has
been for some time iu a very dangerous posi
tion. It can hardly be said that he holds any
part of Mexico besides Vera Cruz, Queretaro,
and the Cajdtal. The former place he holds
by the most uncertain tenure. There is a
Liberal force outside the city, and there are
hardly anybody but Liberals inside; and it
only requires such a contingency as may hap
pen at any hour to put both city and fortress
into the hands of Juarez. Things are not bet
ter in the capital; and it is only through mar
tial law that he is able to maintain even the
semblance of authority there, liis presence
at Queretaro with such an army as he pos
sesses may be proof of his spirit and courage,
but it is no security for his fortunes. The
defection of any one of his generals, (with all
of whom defection is a commonplace affair), or
a successful movement on the part of the
Liberal force which confronts him, may leave
him any day without a feet of Mexican soil
on which his life is worth a moment's pur-
base.
The recent shocking action of some of the
Liberal Generals, and especially Escobedo,
shows that there would very surely bo quick
work made with Maximilian, if caught, unless
the authority of Juarez, to whom our Govern
ment has appealed, were interposed iu his
behalf.It is not at all unnatural that the
Mexican Liberals should feel greatly exas
perated against the Imperialists. The miseries
of the Irench war ot invasion have been expe
rienced by every Mexican, and the atrocities of
such monsters as the French Dupin, were of a
kind certain to.be lollowed by retaliation.
But inasmuch as our Government never ceased
to remonstrate against French outrages, it has
now a right to remonstrate with the Mexicans
who would retaliate.
We have a right, moreover, to intercede
with the Mexicans iu behalf of Maximilian, on
the large ground that it was the power ot oar
Government which expelled the French from
Mexico. Hail we not taken part with the
Mexicans, the French would have annexed
their whole country as an Imperial province,
and the French mode of pacifying Algiers
shows the means that would have been
adopted of dealing with recalcitrant Mexicans.
From all this we have saved Mexico; and our
word must therefore be authoritative when
we interpose in behalf of the unhappy Prince,
whose fortunes and misfortunes have certainly
not been of his own making.
ii wouia be as well, however, lor Maxi
milian's friends to urge him to take speedy
advantage of this interposition, and not delay
his departure till destruction overtakes him.
What We Get by the Treaty.
From the Tribune.
The Russian Treaty has been made publio,
apparently without authority. In the first
article the boundaries of the ceded torritory
are defined; in the second is transferred to the
United States the title of all publio property,
with the exception of the Greek Churches,
which are to remain the property of their
members; in the third, it i8 Btipulated that
the inhabitants, excepting uncivilized tribes,
shall, after three years' reaideuce, be admitted
to citizenship of the United States, while the
Esquimaux and Indians shall be subject to
our authority; in the fourth, the formal terms
of the exchange are defined; tho fifth pro
vides lor the withdrawal of Russian troops; in
the six tli, the cession of territory and domi
nion is declared to le free and unincumbered
by any reservations; and in the seventh, the
date of ratification is fixed.
It is at least a satisfaction to know that the
treaty binds our Government to no more than
the payment of a certain sum in gold, and the
admission of Russian settlers to citizenship,
and that any slight value the cession may
have is not lessened by reservations in favor
of British hunters ami traders. To share the
questionable advantages of the territory would
be to yield them entirely, for there are some
things which are too small to be divided.
But though this is theoretically a satisfaction,
practically it would have made no apprecia
ble dillerence to the people of this country if
all the traders in North America had boeu
given equal rights in the territory by the
treaty. In tho deserts of Russian America the
hunters around the Geart Bear Lake will care
little for the 141st degree of west latitude. We
simply obtain by treaty the nominal possession
of impassable deserts of snow, vast tracts of
dwarf timber, frozen rivers, inaccessible
mountain ranges, with a few islands where
the climate is more moderate, aud a scanty
population is supported by fishing and trad
ing with the Indians. Virtually wo get, by
an expenditure of seven millions in gold,
Sitka and the Prince of Wales Islands. Ail
the rest is waste territory, and no energy of
the American peoplo will be sufficient to make
mining speculations in the sixtieth degree
north latitude profitable, or to reclaim wilder
nesses which border on the Arctic Ocean.
We may make a treaty with Russia, but we
cannot make a treaty w ith tho JNorth Wind,
or the Snow King. A glance at the map will
show that this mighty acquisition, with tho
exception of a, few islands scattered
along a mountainous and sterile shore
lies above the sixtieth degree, and is divided
into nearly eoual portions by the Arctic circle.
Ninety-nino hundredths of Russian America
are absolutely useless; the remaining hun
dredth may be of some value to the Russians
who settled it, but is certainly not worth
seven millions of dollars to a nation already
possessed of more territory than it can decently
govern, and buraenea with debt. On the con
trary, it is certain that the expense and trouble
of a Jerntonal government or six govern
ments, as we near iur. neward proposes in
this distant and inhospitable laud, would far
outweigh any advantage from its codfish or
bear skins. To Russia it was an incumbrance;
to us it would be au embarrassment, and by
the next session of Congress we trust the folly
of the purchase will be made so plain that the
House will refuse to make .the necessary
appropriation.
The Ball Rolling.
From the World.
The returns of the local elections which we
printed on Wednesday show great Democratic
gains as compared with those of last year.
Albany, which gave only .033 majority for
Hoffman, elected a Democratic Mayor by over
10UO majority; and in Lockport, which gave a
: majority of 107 votes for Fenton last fall, the
Democrats elected their candidate for Mayor
! by 270 majority, and three aldermen and three
I supervisors of the four of each that were
I chosen.
Local elections were also hold in several
J cities and towns in New Jeisey, the results of
; which are given in the subjoined table, with

In most of the places
carried by the
publicans their majorities are less than those
obtained by them at the preceding election,
while the Democrats in several instances
increased their previous majorities. The
returns that have reached us fiom New
Jersey are quite meagre, though sufficient to
indicate that the Democrats have made sub
stantial gains.
Those who have not yet learned "the lesson
of Connecticut," should devote a little study
to the returns of the city election in Hartford
last Monday. In 18u'5, in a total vote of 31)55,
the radicals carried the city by 301) majority.
This year, in a total vote of 4738 the largest
vote ever cast in a city election in Hartford
the Democrats gained a majority of G0'5, aud
elected four out of six aldermen, and sixteen
of the twenty-four Councilmen. Leading radi
cals confidently expected that this election
would bo a repudiation of the Democratic
State success of April 1, but the Democrats
actually added one hundred to their majority
of the preceding Monday, suggesting the pro
priety of quoting a pet phrase of radicalism,
that "revolutions never go backwards."
The Next Great Step.
Editorial correspondence of the iV. Y. Independent.
Down here in the Delaware Water Gap the
majestio cliffs are just now clad equally with
winter and with spring; not yet having put
off their snow, but already putting on their
green. In to-day's universal sunshine tho
streams glitter, the sheep are silver-fieeced,
and the school-children's faces are glorified.
I am at this moment looking out of my car
window on a bevy of these youngsters at their
noon recess the girls dressed in old and tailed
calicoes, patched and picturesque, the boys
bareheaded, and playing leap-frog. The cattle
those half-human beings are standing idle in
the fields, gazing at the merry children, aud
hungering ior sweet clover. If I wttre an artist,
I would paint these almost cloudless clouds,
and send you a dreamy picture instead of a
prosaic letter. The tardy larks ought to be
here to spread their wings for a flight into
such a sky; but those prudent birds have not
yet returned from tho South perhaps in
view of the backwardness of reconstruction.
Meanwhile, here is a positive flavor of nut
meor'in the air wafted. I think, from Con
necticut. I have been smelling it ever since
the 1st of April.
O backsliding Connecticut ! A few minutes
ago the newsboys brought the Tribune into the
car, and my eye fell on a statement by Gov
ernor 'Uawley concerning the reotmt election.
"It has been the curse of the Republican
party," he says, "that it has permitted certain
men in tho State to act as its loaders who have
cared only for its offices, and not for its prin
ciples; and the influence of these men has con
tinually eaten away the pith aud manliness of
the party." Truer words were never spoken
nor by a truer man. And, although the
defeat of a gallant aud noble gentleman like
Governor Ilawley carries with it a uecossary
touch of sorrow to the legion of his friends,
yet, on the other hand, the dishonor which
the Republican party of Connecticut brought
upon itself two years ago was altogether too
great to be overlooked by that Nemesis which
men call poetio justice; and bo the discomfiture
of the 1st of April must be regarded by just
men as one of the inevitable revenges brought
round by the whirligig of time.
Governor Ilawley is riirht. The Republi
can managers of Connecticut have been emi
nently cowardly; and some of them eminently
treacherous. Two years ago, after a Repub
lican legislature had submitted to the peoplo
of that State a just and honorable proposition
to enirancniwe auout iwo thousand negroes,
the Republican leaders, with Senator Dixon at
their head, conspired to defeat this measure at
the polls. A State in which parties are so
equally divided that the majority whether one
way or another, nas latterly been loss than a
thousi.nd, nevertheless decided against negro
suffrage by a majority of more than (iOOO. An
analysis ot. the vote showed that 51)00
Republican voters were recreant to their
duty mainly by withholding their ballots
irom a proposition wincii tney themselves had
submitted to tho ballot-box. This mingled
cowardice and treachery of two years ago was
the sole cause oi uie neieat ot April the first.
For everybody knows that not all the money
in the purses of the rich Democratic candidates
could have purchased the election of Mr.
English, if tho negroes of Connecticut had been
allowed to vote for Governor Uawley. At the
close of Governor Buckingham's term the Re
publican party of Connecticut, had It chosen
to exercise its strength, was abundantly
strong enough to secure impartial suffrage.
But it chose instead to insult its black-faced
brethren, and refuse their alliance.
A party, therefore, that thus deliberately
cripples itself by cutting off its own right arm
deserves alter it overthrow but little sympathy.
A party that betrays its allies is justly defeated
by its enemies. A party that crushes the
negro deserves to be trampled ou by the
Democracy.
Henceforth, let cowardly Republican State
committees who fiount the watchwords of free
dom on their banners, and yet at tho same
time commit outrages upon their own fellow
citizens, taKe nonce mat mo Republican
party can no longer smite the negro without
wounding itsell.
The true men in Connecticut who did their
duty in 3 SG5 have reason to be proud of their
stand in 1807 even though they were too few
in numbers to win the day. A man like Gov.
Uawley counts it more honor to bear the
banner of Justice, even though he be beaten
under it, than to have borne any less noble
standard, even though he had won a victory.
With never-failing plainness of speech, the
Governor always demanded the right of suf
frage for the negro, and always proclaimed
himself willing to stand or fall by this issue
He has now been unhorsed, but will mount
again, and renew the battle. And his party
are yet to shake Connecticut.
I I trust the whole nation will discern a les
I son in this defeat. It is this If, without the
negro vote, the Union party cannot prosper in
a Yankee State, how can it prosper without
the negro vote in the Southern States r
The policy of negro suffrage, therefore, is
clearly seen to be the only policy for the
national welfare. But just as clearly is it
seen that the policy of negro suffrage is
needed not only on the Gulf, but also in New
England.
What, then, is the next step in the progress
of reconstruction ?
The answer is plain: We must make im
partial suffrage the rulo and practice of the
Northern as well as the coutheru Mates.
Fellow-countrymen of the JNortli, give a
new and kindly reconsideration to this vital
question I
