THE DAILY EVENING TELGKAFH riliLADELiPHIA, MOMUY, NOVEMBER 21, 1870. oriuiT or Tun ma a a. Editorial Opinion! of the Leading Journals upon Current Topics Compiled Every Day for tho Evening Telegraph. WIIAT IS IN STOllE FOIt THE Na. TIONWL DEMOOn.vUY. F'om the X. y. Timn. A eleniie to bury dml Imus hn RudJeuly manifested itself in tho Democratic mind. ISov. Hoffman expressed it iti bis Albany speech; mid the loading jom-ual of the party in Michigan attributes whatever snooesses have becw t'.iined in that State to the repudi ation of rejmdiutors, and tbe adoption of a moderate policy upon current topics. The Governor would have the country forget tho sins of his pirty. The IMroit jouraMUt de clares that hud the old leaders been allowed to retain command, nothing but defeat would have followed; if a different result has any where been secured, it has beon because De mocratic candidates "ran pledged against reaction, and iu acceptauca of the situation." All this is very pretty. It would have been, prettier, in Governor Hoffman's case, had ho, too, been able to proclaim the ronuaciation of his old political masters. There is an ob vious incompatibility between his exhortation to "let (be dead pnst bury it3 dead," and his appearance as the successful candidate of an organization which represents tho wor-st ideas, as well as the worst vices, of the Demo cracy. If Governor Hoffman would really reform his party, h must begin by interring the ring. There can be no improvement in this State until the Governor's masters are under the sod. tftill, these avowals and entreaties of Oovermr Hoffman must be regarded as homage paid by the representative of the most dt bnsf-d type of Democracy to the pub lic opinion which the Republican party crcattd at.d keeps alive. Tho new policy of tho Michigan Democracy tells tho same story. Its guns ore proportionate to its adoption of ItepuUiciin principles and plans. By dis carding repudiation, and bringing itself to pay the debt honestly, by protesting against reactiormy measures, by acoepting things as they arc, and pledging itss'i to maintain them, bv favoring tho continued reduction of taxes without reference to abstract theories, its managers adopto 1, substantially, cardinal features of the liepublicau platform. Their sagacity was duly rewarded. They eleoled candidates who, if nominated ou regular Democratic ground, would have had no chance. The lesson, suggestive as it is, is not taught by Michigan alone. It is the lesson of nil the recent elections, with the exception of New York, where plunder hoi 1 the place of principle, and of Maryland and Delaware, where the relics of slave-barbarism continue to be devoutly worshipped. Every where Deniocratio gains may be measured by the deparlaro from the standard of Pen dleton and Seymour and Blair, and by an ap proximation to the fctmdard of Grant's ad ministration and a Republican Congress. Advantages so acquired are a tribute to the principles and policy of tho Itepubhoan partv. When tho procoss thus begun has advanced a few degrees further, the issue will booonie one between men; and the Democratic party, overladen as it is with rotteu timbor, will be very little nearer the consummation of its linal purpose. For tho governing personnel of Democracy must resolve itself into Tam many. That is the vital centre of tho whole organization. Michigan moderates, and pru dent men from Illinois sink into insignifi cance before Tweed, Sweouey, Hall, andi'isk. These aie the magnates of the party. They are determined to control the next National Convention as completely as they controlled the motley crowd that nominated Hoffman at Rochester; and they rely for success upon agencies akin in character to those which secured them success iu this city. Our plundered and helpless tax-payers furnish sinews for a wider war than that between Tammany and the Young Democracy. The corruption fund, which has alroaly produced wonders, is relied upon to carry the National Convention. Tweed A Co. have sworn that Hoffman shall be the next Democratic candi date for the Presidency, and they will keep their oath. They will buy his nomination, if it can be obtained in no other way. The Democracy of the country will then have the pleasure of supporting a Tammany ticket, and the country will be brought face to face with the personal issues with which we in .New xoik have become painfully familiar. When matters assume this shape, we know what will be the result. THE COMING TURKISH WAR. From the X. Y. Sun. Th restrictions upon the navigation of the Dardanelles and the Blaok Sea, which serve as the Russian pretext for setting on foot another war against Turkey, relate ex clusively to armed vessels, and do not in any manner atlect those engaged in conimoroe That provision of (he treaty of Paris which is complained of blmply forbids Russia from laaint awning a navy yard and a fleet in the Black Sea, and forbids armed vessels of all nations from passing through the straits of the Dardanelles without first obtaining per mission iroru tne lurKisn uovernina&t Vessels of commeroe, however, oaa pass the Dardanelles and enter Uie Black Sea without any such permission. So far ai they are concerned, the straits and the Black Sea are both perfectly free. Acoord reply, these re strictions are of no substantial importance to anv power except Russia. It may indeed be occasionally inconvenient to tha Admiral of an Kngush or American squadron to brin his ships to anchor, and go to Constantinople for a lirman that will allow him to pass the straits, and as a point of national sensitive ness he may feel that such a restriction has in it something; galling; but, after all, it u of no great practical moment. Russia, however, has other feelings and other aims. The exclusion of ber naval establishment from the Black Sea is a per petual memento of her defeat in the Crimean war, and she regards it accordingly as a standing humiliation. Besides, it m essential to the exeontion ef that design upon 'I key which has reigned in the mind of every Rus sian for a century and a half, that she should be able to maintain a powerful fleet in these waters. There is, therefore, every reason why the Russian Government should pursue with determination the policy which it has now announced; and whatever projects or devices may be interposed to gain time, it is certain that the Czar will now exert his whole power to push Turkey out of Europe, and to gain the real if not the nominal possession of Constantinople. War, then, is pretty certainly near at hand. Tbe active parties to it will be Russia on the one side, and Turkey, England, and Austria on the other. Prussia and France will pro bably have no direct part in this new war at the beginning, but it cannot fcil to exercise a great influence upon the conclusion of their contest. The parties win not tie so unevenly matched as might be supposed. Turkey is much stronger in a military point of view than ahe was during the Crimoan struggle. Austria, with all her loss of prestige at H dowa, has greatly improved her military organization, aad can bring into the field au army of half a million. The navy of Eng land is still the most formidable in the world, and her army, though comparatively incon siderable in numbers, will not be despised by any judicious antagonist. There is, then, not the load, probability that this war will be marked by such sur prises as mankind have just passed through in France. There will be no such sudden and tremendous overthrow of the 0:10 party by the other. It will be a bloody, a diflijult, and a pertinacious war. In some respacts the American people may find it a s urco of commercial advantage, though on tha whole we shall sudor with a'l tho rest; but it is hor rible to think that at tho end of tho nineteenth century such a war should be UHeess iry. The mind, overwhelmed in tha contemplation of a combat so vast and ho dreadful, in quires iu vain why a whole continent, including the most civilized nations of humanity, should thus be drawn from the peaceful occupations of industry and the charities of ordinary life, to cutting each other's throats and destroying each other's property. The (juestiou is be yond the power of any human understanding to answer; and, with reliance upon the Power (hat directs tho course of history, wo oan only (rust and hope that tho world will, at tho cud, be belter for such a convulsion. GRAVE CHARGES AGAINST A UNITED STATES SENATOR. J'rom Harper' Weekly. 'lhere seems to have been nn opDn market for votes at the late election iu Hunte IsUad. The Providence Journal asserts lhl hua dreds were bought, thnt tho price was rive dollars, and that there was scarcely a pro-teni-c of secrecy. It has been often allege! that (ho politics of the little State were mjra venal than those of any of tho other States, and that preferment and influence hare de pended mainly upon money. Tho late con test in JUiodo Island has occasioned a great deal ef plain talking; and one speech of Mr. Jtnckes just bi-fore the election is of na tional importance. because of tbe grave charges which it make-, upou oinoial documentary evidence, against a Sjnatjr of the United States. Mr. Sprar'ne, one of tho Senators from Rhode Island, has beeu knon for some time to be peculiarly hostile to Mr. Jeuckts, one of t lie represoutativos a gentleman most honorably known to tho country lor Ins bankrupt not, aud more es pecially for his elUjient aivooaey of civil service reform. Tho Republican Convention ol his district wero unable to agree npou a candidate, and referred tho selection to tho people, lhere were hvo candidates nt the polls, aud Mr. Jonckes was defeated. Mr. Eames, who is called a Sprngua Republican, was elected, navin:' nearly three thousand majority over Mr. Jeuckes, aad nearly four hundred over all. Of the looril and per ponal considerations affecting the elec tion, we have, of course, nothing to say, except to regret that so experienced, able, and faithful a legislator as Mr. Jonckes is lost to the country. Hut in tho speech to wnien we nave alluded Mr. Jenckes, after stating very plainly that it wai tho general impression in Congress that Senator Sprague's win is tne law ot Khodo Island, nnd that his will wtis established by political briber? and fraud, in consequence of which tho Stata was everywhere notoriously disgraced, proceeded to charge, not, as he said, "without the most ample proof that, in the darkest days of the war, mlnam hpr.igue, formerly liovcrnor, and now benator ot ltuou Island in tho Congress of the United States, vio lated the articles of war of the United States in holding commerce with the enemy, and aiding mem witu money and munitions of war." Mr. Jencketi then read an official re port from General Holt to the Secretary of W ar in 1 !, concerning a case of illicit trade to Texss, "implicating Iloyt, Sprague, and others, brought to tho notice of tha depart mentby Major-Ueneral Dix. The substance of the case is, that in the autumn of Wi certain firms in Providence furnished money with which vessels were bought, loaded with machinery, arms, etc., cleared for foreign ports, and run to iexaa under changed naji. tbe cargoes sold in Texas, and the proceeds invested in cotton. General Holt states that Mr. Sprague wrote several letters to General Dix denying the statements of Iloyt, who stems to have boon the agent, and who asserts that Mr. Sprague was fully informed of everything, and advised and aided the en terprise. Mr. Sprague alleges that his obi est was to aid I mou men in Texas; but no one else, the General says, seems to have taken that view; and Mr. Sprugue s brother, who, as the Senator admits, had especial charge of the undertaking, describes its object to have been to get out cotton. General Dix, in writing to the Secretary of War, states that the proof of illicit trade is ample, and that it is an important question whether the pro cetdings should be by military commission or in a civil court, and whether the facts, if proved, are a violation of tbe laws of war, or a still higher crime under the Constitution. General Holt, in conclusion, is of opinion, after an examination of the papers, that the persons involved may be brought to trial for relieving the enemy with money and ammunition, or for violating the laws ef war in trading with the enemy. His report is dated June l.", lwi.'i, and he says it it for the Secretary to decide "whether, in view of the circumstances and of the present condition of affairs," the trial shall be or dered. To the question why the aooused persons wore not tried at the time, Mr. Jenckes replies that General Burnside ad vised postponement npou the grouud that in that dark hour the trial of a Senator upon suck a charge would be too demoralizing a t hock to the frontier lice. Later, when the report was made by General Holt in 18;,more than two of the three years of the offensa, which are the limit within which it can be tried, were passed; there were no national civil coarts in Texas, aud the authority of cemmiisions was in question in the Supreme Court, which presently denied it; aui thu offenders, acoording to Mr. Jenckes, thus es caped exposure, trial, and punishment. We understand that Senator Fprajnia has denied either the accuracy of Mr. Jenckes' statement or the inferences ef Generals Dix aud jllolt. i;ui tne report or the latter gentleman is very emphatic, and General D's opi. niom was that tbe proof of illicit trrle was conclusive. It appeared, for instance, from tbe invoioe of the cargo with which Iloyt went from Havana to Matamoras, that it included "thousands of cartridges and per cussion caps." Party and personal feeling in Rhode Island are very acrimonious. But these are not the assertions of a partisan, they are official documents of tbe Govern ment. Tbeir charges are so grave, and the implication of Senator Sprague is ho appa rently positive, thfat no one is so much in terested as be in a full and frank statement of tbe facts. One thing at least is very evi dent. If Mr. Sprague satisfactorily explains (his extraordinary charge, his opponents in Rhode Island will bo decisively and finally overthrown, and his powor must remain for a long time unassailable. THE SULTAN AND HIS VASSALS. From the X. T. Tribune If war should follow the Russian demand for (he abrogation of (ho treaty of Paris, it would very materially differ from the conflict in the Crimea in The element, of looal insurrections would doubtless now be intro duced into the problem which Turkey and the protecting powers must face. All readers ot the iribunt know what tension there has been for some years past iu the relations ex. istina between tho Sublime Porte and the Vice-Regal Government f Eaypt. Tha ut most endeavors of Frauce and Euglaud have been necessary to prevent an open broach between the Sultan aud his powerful vas sal on questions of loans, armtments, coinage, and othor attributes of sove reignty. Each new quarrel ha generally been arranged by friendly interference ou a basis that Hnttere I the shallow vanity of tho Padishn, and secured to the Khedive the substantial benefits of an almost complete independence. While the Govern ment of theSultan, given over to plunder and debaneb, has sunk every year into Luver depths of listless ineflifiency, the adroit and intelligent ministry of the Pacha of Eypt has been devoting every energy to tho im provement of the financial and military situa tion, and to (he development of the internal resources of tho country. The opening of the Suez Canal was seized upon and us9l with gnat tflectas a means of cultivating close und friendly relations, not only with princ a and ministers, but nlso with leading journalists rml citizens who were ablo to create in Western Europe an atmosphere favorable (a the Ismail dynasty. It is the question of suects-dou that forms the strongest motive for the assertion of Egyptian it dependence. There is really nothing oppressive in the suzerainty of the Porte. The Viceroy has received more an noynnco than damage from the occasional interference of the Sultnn in tho internal affairs of Lis kingdom. A few civil expres sions in a diplomatic noto, a kind speech from Nubar Pacha, a display of tho Turkish fl.'ig, or a 8f.ltite from canuou whoso purchase bHd given nmbiage to the jealous voluptuary of Stamboul, have usually been enough to scotho tbe susceptibilities of Abdul Aziz, without serious injury to Egyptian interests. But the cold ill-will of the i'orte is a stand ing meunco to the succession of Prince Moch med, sun and Leir of the Khedive. Too Sul tftn has recently distinguished with special honor and favor Mustapha-Fazvl, the brother of Ismail, w ho some jeurs ago bartered his biithright for a pottego of several millions, which ho has eateu in princely fashion at Paris and Baden, nnd now has joined the Court of Constantinople, aud is regarded as the leader of the nnti-Egyptian party, and an aspirant for (be crown lie bus once been paid for. The sanction of the Porte was given, it is tine, to this transfer of the succession from the collateral (o (he direct line, but he may any day withdraw it, and (his disposition foims in the Court of Alexandria a powerful motive for revolt. The Ilospodar of Roumania, Prince Charles of Hohonzolleru, has also indicated a disposi tion to emancipato himself from his lax vas salage to the Turk. But it remains to be seen whether he will prefer a perilous indepen dence, which would probably end sooner or later in abserption by Russia, to his present position of merely nominal subjection to the I'orte, under the protection of tho Western powers. The principalities of Bosnia, Servia, and Montenegro aro thoroughly undermined by Russian plots aud conspiracies. The pre mature murdtr of the Prince of Servia in 1SI5K attested the desperate but ignorant character of the instruments of Russia in that province, and had no other effect than to seat young Milan Obrenovitch on tbe throne of his uncle mora firmly than by natural succession. In case of war, however, it is likely that the Austrian influence will not be sufficient to keep the three Western Principalities from attempting to gain their independence, aud the late in surrection in Dalmatia indicates a state of suppressed discontent that may endanger the Austrian rule on the shore of the Adriatic. In case of the revolt of these vassal princes, the military power of Tarkey would be com pletely neutralized as against Russia, and the most serious complications would be pre sented to the consideration of the Western powers. THE IMPENDING EUROPEAN CRASH. Vow the X. V. Herald. The pen with which the peace treaty of Mnrch .'!(), 18."C, was signed at Paris, by the represent atives of the high contracting powers who bad been direotly or indirectly concerned in tbe Crimean war and afterwards joined in conference, was fashioned oat of a quill plucked from the wing of an imperial eagle in tbe Jardin des Plantes, as M. de Conches, Chief of the Freneh Protocol Office, testifies under that same date and over bis official sign manual. Tbe Napoleonic Empire, then in its glory, of which tho noble bird was emblema tical, has gone down in blood, and the eagle himself, or bis progesy, may ere this have been grilled on revolutionary gridirons to stay the stomach of hungry republicans, bard set by the rigors of tbe siege; but the work that they mutually did returns to plaue the surviving States and dynasties that con curred in the convention. On (he lUth of April, just twenty dpjs after the signatures were completed, the Jhrvld, in an article entitled "Treaty of Peace What is it Worth ?" took tbe position that the new treaty was nothing more than a rehash of the old political arrangements of Amiens and Tilsit; thut while it was said to be likely to secure tbe peace of Europe and remove many disturbing questions, it would do nothing of tbe sort; but that, like the other two conventions named, it lacked the main element of political vitality, because it was chiefly dictated by the Bullish views of tbe contracting parties, and bad little or no rc-fu'ttiee to the general interests of hu manity. The concluding paragraph of the article referred to is so closely apposite to tbe case immediately before us to-day that we may prorerly quote it, word for word: . 'J he interests of either power may, at any mo. nuutwUliiii the rfxt dozen years, let loose npou ice Lorep'nii woihl the torruut or revolutiounry violence. The treaty of Par's teems to have beet mimed u provide oproitaDiiiH aud aipllua':s for just Mich results. We wlsa th despots of Karope joy of this precious nhspriueor their lngeuuUT. It promises to lie as fruitful of evil to them ai was Jupiter's ifitt to Pandora." What foresight and sound sense there were in these remniks the new agitation of the Eastern question now convulsing the Cabinets of Europe very strikingly proves. The "doztn years" have simply extended to four teen, and here we see tbe predicted trouble at tbe door. Russia, long chafing under the infractions of an arrangement never intended by the allies to be faithfully maintained, dis covers ber opportunity to obtain redress in tbe confusion that has fallen upon the conn tils of ber adversaries. Forced by her ill fortune in the Crimean wsr to yioll an unwilling assent to n temporary settlement which partly disarmed her, while it doubled tho aggressive facilities of Turkey and her backers, she has, time and again, demurred at violations of the Paris treaty which, although trivial in them selves, were important as precedents for sub sequent breaches of faith on a larger and more menacing scale. Her complaints were unheeded, and the infractions contiuued until by many statesmen tho treaty was regarded as a dead letter. Ono of our special des patches, published on Saturday morning, re fers to this sentiment, and mentions tho frankness with which that wary diplomatist, Count Bismarck, admitted that the Paris treaty counted for nothing from theday when Napoleon HI openly declared that the treaty of 11" no le iif'r bao" etFrct. 11 e uncertainty of Count Bismarck is the certainty of Europe. Tbe powers of tho West have learned by (heir peculiar experi ence to krow (hat when the Prussian states man speaks he dors so by the book. His contemplation of tho crisis is its explanation. The treaties of (he last fifty-five years must be revised. Prussia desires unity and Russia desires secuiity. Should Russia at the present moment be compelled tomike war rgainst (be allies, ber action would evidently do more for German unity than all that the Germans have done for themselves, not withstanding the advantages that they have gained in France. Why ? Because, shonld Austria move (and she is tho only ally (hat England could securely count upou in (lie South of Europe) she would be overwhelmed by (be very first grand ad yahoo that the Prusso-Russian armies would make southward. The consequence of such a de feat would be the immediate accessiou of the Geiman portions of tbe Austrian empire to tbe sum total of Fatherland. Austria would be mined as nn autonomic, independent power, and ber shattered fragments would bj assembled nnd combined into United Ger many. Should Italy become involve 1, a con tingency which all ber truly enlightened statesmen and all her people would greitly deprecate, the Roman rjnestion on tha one bfnd nnd tho league of Garibaldi and of Gv.iseppi Muzr-ini on the other would render it extremely dimcult for her to muster auy nimy for a serv:ce not directly connected with ber own national status. Turkey is a power respectable in positi m, in numbers, and in the fanatical devotion of her people to tho precepts of the Korau; but Tnr'iey is in tho sere nnd yellow leu'-. Mo hnmmed represents order only, aud order hts been greatly shaken in tho Ottoman em pire by the introduction of Christuu and modern ideas. In fine, there is no real strength in the fan cied coalition. The ties that would seem to bind it together are ropes of sand, and tho cabinets of tho different powers would infi nitely prefer peace to war. Eugland aljne is in a position where, perforce, she must as sert herself, fearful as shj is of losing tho great highway that leads to ber Oriontal pos sessions. Englaud, indeed, with all ber in trigues, is now in a difficult jiosition. France, ber granel ally in the entente or (ij'ilr, is stricken down while she has stood aloof. She is stripped of independent, initia tive power, and, like the fox in the fablo whose tail bad boen shorn from bim iu a trap, sbo seeks to persuade tho other powers that they, too, would be more safe and prosperous without that useful append ago. Sbonld she prevail there will be a coali tion against Russia, to take effect at an early date. Should she fail the Cossack period of Europe would recommence that is to say, the weight of a great power at tho North would press so heavily upon tha political status of Europe that the latter would have to ba revised in every part. Russia, as we have shown, demands equal rights upon the Black Sea, and control of the Black Sea commerce means supremacy in the East. The Khedive of Egypt already begins to take position for an independence long desired and now in a fair way of realization by Russian aid. Let the war begin and Egypt will soon master the Isthmus of Suez at home and the choicest provinces of Turkey abroad. Thus a power will be built up upon the very track of the great commercial and political progress of tho Orient grateful and devoted to Russia. But, over aud above all this, there is the outljing majesty of tha great Aniericau re public. Our eyes are turned toward the West, as the gnzo of Russia turns toward tho East. These two powers are the Alpha and the Omega of tbe future. A century hence, perhaps, we may clash upon the broad expanse of tbe Pacific, but to-day we are friends. Unlike in everything, we agree by our dissi milarity. The principle that the Czar upholds in (be Black Sea is our principle upon the Gulf of Moxico. America com prehends the situation of the Mus covite empire to-day, as she comprehends Lev own for to-morrow. The crowns quake and the nations aro agitated: but truth and justice find their refuge with the strongest exponent of established authority left to-day in tbe Old World. Russia stepping into the arena thuB suddtnly, guarantees a reoonstruo tion of Europe. That reconstruction can be made in no other sense than for concord and co-operation. Thus is the Czar, by the pro vidence of God, revealed a the political Mes siah of the moment. Tbe word gone forth from St. Petersburg and echoed in Washing ton vill be felt and obeyed from London to Rome. SPECIAL NOTICES.
