The Jiierrillrn their Prey.
Mb. Elkba W. Pav.s, a Bo called Kepubli
can member of the State Legislature from this
citv, saw fit yesterday afternoon to denounce
THE liVKMNOTEUWIUI'F, in uumm.u

what he has done, either for the Republican j
or the people oi iue cnj, ;

? As fur as we nave
BOl our ii'B"""""' f - , , .,
been able to learn from the reports of the
doings at Harrisbnrg which have reached
as Mr. Davis ha8 taus far
during the present session lent
his voice and his vote to every vnlamous
Scheme of plunder, favoritism, and servility
which has been brought before the body of
wLioh he is a member. Unhappily for the
iDtereBU of the pecple and the future enccess
of the Republican party in Uiu city ana owe,
Mr. Davia is not the only man of hi3 cla;s in
the Legislature. Tor the most part it is made j
Hp, as it ha3 been made up in the past, of a !
set of men to whom we can apply no milder j
term
than that cl Jeecues men who, us
general thing, are
without vi3ible means 01
support; who go
to Ilamsnurg year auer i
vear. and there plunder the public purse and
pervert the will of the peopk.with an amount
of brazen as-Env&iKe that fairly takes
away our breath as we content
plate it. It is notoriously the fact
that any measure of simple public justice or
of paramount puulic necessiiy, wmuu, io uae
the slang term employed at Jlarrisburg, "has
nothing in it," will either be pushed through
Jn the crudest and mott r.n?ati3iactory f-nape,
or crowded out alfce'her by the great pres
jure of sleek legislative jobs. Such a hold
upon the machinery oi both the great political j
parties of the SUie and country have these j
men obtained, that the people would appear j
to be almost pcweiless in their grasp cer-
tainly powerless to prevent them from re- j
ceiviug the foimsl iiomiualions for thy ollices
Which they invariable disgrace.
In this lamentable state of affairs, the only
refuge of the people and the parties is in the
"guerrilla sheets" which hr.ve the courage to
give tine and lailLful expression to public
sentiment by huntiDg down these political
leeches, aa the genuine gorilla hunts down
his prey. Tub Eve'is Tiai:or.Ai'ii professes
to be a liberal and independent Republican
journal; and we flatter ourselves that we have
heretofore lived up to our professions
as closely 83 honesty and common de
cency would permit. To continue in this
conree is our present intention, and when we
have resolvc-d upon abandoning it, Mr. Davis
will receive due notice in the shape of oar
advocacy of all the outrageous schemes which
he proposes or defends in the Legislature. In
he past we have ventured to protest against
some of the more reprehensible schemes of the
political tricksters, both in this city and at
Harrisbnrg, and our protest has not always
been without effect. Recognizing the
true claims of the Republican party on
our support, vre Ehsll, in the future, support
its principles with all earnestness, and it3
candidates and the measures of its so-called
adherents, whenever they commend them
selves to the mass of the party as decent and
expedient in the one case, and capable, honest
and deserving in the other. Our desire to
contribute to the success of the party in the
future, and to promote the best interests of
the whole community, without regard to
party lines, prevents us from going one step
further.
If this platform makes The Evexinw Tklk
ceaph a "guerrilla sleet," write us down a
guerrilla by all means, Mr. Davis. But we do
not desire, like '-Dogberry," to be written
down an ass. In Una resptot we are perhapi
a triile more sensitive than some Republican
iaemWr3 of the Legislature.
The J allot ll l)el
The friends of libeity throughout the world
will Lear with pleasure of the capture of
Villeta and the destruction of the Paraguayan
army. This puts an ei-d to the despotism of
Lopez, and it opens the Rio de la l'lata and
the immense stretch of country watered by
its tributaries to tb commerce of th9 world.
The heroio resistance of the Paraguayans
during the long and bloo ly struggle which has
now concluded has tt cured for them au
amount of sympathy to which the intrinsic
juBticc of their ci.uf.e did net entitle them. We
cannot but respect brave wtn when we see
them struggling against desperate odds, but
it was for tho good of tLe world that the more
fctilifflitr. 'i.--ir nf Brazil and the State3
which were allied with her against Parajuay
should prevail. Lopez, the fallen despot, was
a worthy sucoessor of the infamous Dr.
Fran.jla, and the annihilation of hi3 power in
Sontti America la a benefit to the human race
uolesBUmn to tlj9 brave people whom he
misgoverned. Lopea undertook to battle with

Tub settlement of the interminable diffioulty
between the Grecian element of Southeastern
Europe and the Turkish power now known
under the general title of the Eastern Ques
tion will be consummated onl by the final
expulsion of the Turks from Constantinople,
if the dispute were strictly confined to the
petty sovereignty of Greece and the widely
extended dominion of the Sublime Porte,
there would be but faint hope of its realiza
tion during the present century. But as soon
as a speck of war begins to hover over Con
stantinople4 all Europe is aroused, and when
for once the war-cloud burst less than a score
of years ago, England, France, and Sardinia
were leagued with Turkey against the Czar of
all the Kussias single-handed. This cirouin
etance disclosed the true issues at stake in the
East. St. Petersburg is a very cold and
eheerless town for a capital, and ever sinoe
the days of Peter the Great the dream of the
Czar has boen the removal of his
court to the Dardanelles, and the
virtual restabliahment of the em
pire founded by Constantino and demolished
by Mahomet the Second. As a means of
diverting the attention of the Turks, and o
w
aflbrding a plausible avenue of approach to
Constantinople, Russian influence has made
itself paramount at Athens by the marriage of
King t ieorge to the Uraud Duches3 Olga, the
bond of union between the two royal families
being still further cemented and strengthened
by other intimate marital relations between
the house of Denmark and the Russian dy
nasty. By this convenient family arrange
ment, Greece leads the never-ending assault
upon the Turkish dominion in Europe, the
trump card of Russia to be Introduced into
the game only when a grand crisis Las been
reached such a crisis as will enable Russia,
at one decisive blow, to drive the Turk out of
Europe for all time to come.
The Conference which has ju3t been held in
Paris, with the view of postponing the final
resort to arms, has accomplished practically
nothing. The real issue has not been touched;
a guarantee by all the great powers of Europe
of the integrity of the bultan's dominions, tho
oaly alternative with his ultimate expulsion,
lias n()l ieeu broached by the representatives
0f e powers who participated in the treaty
of pariS au,i ju the recent Conference. The
proceedirjg3 of the Conference, a3 far as they
caH a3C8rtained, amount simply to a formal
declaration that the encouragement of iusur-
rections witnin, or of privateering ana military
expeditions against the countries of friendly
States, U a violation of international law. As
this principle is one which has been clearly
established for centuries, there can
be no doubt but that it will
again receive the sanction of all
the parties to the Conference. The rep
resentative of Greece, however, was not ad
mitted to the afrSi-mblagf, and Greece may
withhold her assent to the declaration, in
which event, we are told, the Sublime Porte
will still insist upon its ultimatum, while the
great powers will simply staud aloof and per
mit events to to take their course. Therefore,
if Greece refu:e to yield every position which
she has heretofore assumed, the preparations
for war on both sides will continue, and when
the conilict is well under way, the great
powers will be drasvn into it by jealousy of
Russia and fears of her final establishment in
Constantinople. Then wfll come a recnact
nient of the Crimean struggle, and the issue
this time will probably be materially diil'erent
from the ioimer.
With the lapse of time the hold of the
Turks upon their European dominions be
comes feebler, and a hearty support from the
Western powers can alone enable them to
maintain it. Their sway over the greater
portion of so-called Turkey in Europe has sel
dom amounted to anything more than a nomi"
nal suzerainty, or technical recognition of
sovereignty such as Charles the Buld, of Bur
gundy, conceded to Louis XI of France, at a
time when the vassal was a more potent sove
reign than the liege lord himself. The Mol
davians, Wallachians, Servians, Bulgarians
in short, all the nominal Christian elements of
the population, are quite a3 hostile in feel
ing towards the Sublime Porte as are
the Cretans, quite as anxious to
set up on their own account, and, moreover,
are for the most part in the praotical enjoy
ment of the substance of independent sov
reignty, although they have not, as yet, come
into possession of its shadow the name.
Gieek sympathy for the Cretan insurrec
tionists is merely the entering wedge; the
open or disguised assictance of Russia to the
Christian provinces, in case of their revolt,
will consummate the dismemberment of the
empire founded by Mahomet the Second, and
consolidated, as far a3 a consolidation of such
heterogeneous masses wa3 possible, by Soly
man the Magnificent. That such a revolt will
certainly follow the iuajjuratlon of war
between Tuikey aud Greece is, to Turkey and
tie great powers jealous of Russia, one of the
meet unpleasant features of the Ka-tern
Question.
Who Hilled Kiliiiili-ick?
Who but Kilpatrick himself ? Kilpatrick, as all
the world knows, is Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary from the United
States to the Government of Chili, with the
very comfortable salary of $10,000 per year,
In gold, of which amount he has been in regu
lar receipt since the year of graoe lSii5. That
Kilpatrick has condesceuded to pass a portion
of his invaluable time at Santiago is alao a
well established fact; aud it la equally incon
trovertible that for months past he has been
perambulating this country as a stump
speaker aud lecturer. Who attends to the
business of the American legation
at Santiago duiing his protracted absence?
Doubtless his Secretary, whose salary, we
' venture to say, is a trille loss than $10,000 in
' gold. The fact that the interests of the United
ta.tej flonrtsulor from thli circumstance has
not len lost Bight of by General Butler, who
has introdnced a bill into Congress which, if
passed, will materially rednoe the amount of
internal revenue tax paid by Kilpatrick, by
legislating him out of office. Although this
measure of General Butler's may savor
slightly of revenge, there are to be found
people who profess to believe that it involves
noinherent violation of justioe.
Kilpatrick has been perambulating the
country for monthp, as a stump speaker and
lecturer, and he has just secured an extension
of his leave of absence until March. It is also
stated that he haa relinquished his pay during
his prt sent absence from his diplomatic post.
This circumstance, if it goes for anything, goes
to substantiate the fact assumed by General
Butler, that his presence at Santiago, and his
$l,ion gratuity, are not essential to the pre
servation of peaceful relations between the
Govtrnnients of Chili and the United Stales.
Kilpatrick is an orator of no mean preten
sions, and doubtless did the canse of Grant
and Colfax considerable service. Thia was
not objectionable, nor was it inexcusable, for
the defeat of Grant would, iu all human pro
bability, have upset Kilpatrick's little'
arrangement at Sautiago. Yet it ia cur
rently reported, aud generally believed,
aud doubtless capable of proof, that Kilpatrick
insisted upon receiving $100 for every speech
delivered by him during the late campaign,
and that he invariably canied hia point. Thia
may not be mercenary on the part of Kilpa
trick; but to persons who have not been in the
yearly receipt of $10,000 in gold from tho
Government, and who did not receive $10i per
diem for advocating the cause of a candidate
whose election would probably secure their
annual income of $10,000 in gold agaiust all
contingencies, it looks very much like avarice.
Concerning one portion of the campaigu receipts
of Kilpatrick, General Butler haa declared
that every cent of it wa3 earned. Thia was
the $12000 which he received from Butler's
opponents for stumping the Fifth Massachu
setts district against the erratic hero of Fort
Fisher. The result of Kilpatrick's labors Iu
thia field was the election of Butlor by the
overwhelming majority of (5237 votes over two
competitors, one of whom was a Republican
"gentleman, with the best blood of Massachu
setts coursiug through his veins." If Kil
patrick had been paid $ 1000 for denouncing
Butler, the vote of the district would pro
bably have been unanimous.
And now we come to the pith and point of
our farewell tribute to the memory of the late
and lamented Minister to Chili. lie is adver
tised to lecture this tvening at the Academy
of Music, in this city, for the benefit of the
Twtnty-lirst W?.rd Soldier;;' Monument, his
subject beirg "SLenusn'3 March Through
Geoigia," concerning which he ia well quali
fied to speak. But the avarice of the man ia
so thoroughly rooted and grounded ia hia
character, that he hsis insisted upon receiving
s?-00 for deliveiirg this discourse. As the ex
penses of the association in arranging for the
lecture have been very heavy, they very natu
rally regarded thi3 figure aa rather a large
one, and submitted that $100 would
be a proper amount of compensation. Kil
patrick could rot be convinced of the fact, and
demanded the full amount of $200, and $200 he
will receive. What an inspiration thia will
prove to the orator of the evening ! Aa he
touches up iu glowing terms, in high-ilying
metaphors, and in smoothly-rounded periods,
the suil'eringa and triumphs of the "Boys in
Blue," how the greenbacks will glare at him
from his well-stuffed wallet! With every
tear that he drops upon the duaty stage over
his fallen-comrades in arms, a five dollar note
will slip into his breeche3 pooket; with every
L grand llourish over the triumphal march of
their suivivors, a double X will steal into the
same yawning receptacle l
We sincerely hope that the house will be
filled with people, crammed to suffocation,
packed from pit to dome. Perhaps such a
tribute to the memory of brave and unselfish
men who laid down their lives for a pittance,
counting the welfare of their native or adopted
land as above all reckoning in dollars and
cents, as more precious than the life-blood
which they poured out without stint or com
plaining, may put to shame thia oratorical
jobber who ia unfit to be their eulogist, and
smite Lis conscience so keenly that he will be
tempted to disgorge the half, if not the whole,
of his hard earning.
