The elections of this year for the next Congress show that the .Republicans have chosen one hundred and twenty-throe mem bers, and the Democrats ninety-four. Twenty six members are still to be chosen: and we thick it a fair estimate to say that tho Repub licans will elect fourteen of them, and the Democrats twelve. This would give the Re publicans one hundred and thirty-seven mem bers, and the Democrats one hundred and six. This places the Republicans in a majority of thirty-one; and ignoring all side issues about revenue reform, which do net yet amount to anything substantial, and throw ing aside all questions about contested seats, in which the Democrats will certainly not gain anything, it seems impossible that the Republicans proper can have less than thirty majority in the next House. Now, it so turns out that the political party which, from the time of JohnQuincy Adams, has seoured a working majority, however f-inall, in the House of Representatives chosen in the middle of a Presidential term, has invariably elected the President two years afterward. This precedent, which has stood unbroken for the past forty-four years, is, in view of the political complexion of the next House, worthy of grave consideration when esti mating the chances of a Democratic victory in the Presidential contest of 1872. In a political epoch so peculiar as the present, it doubtless will not do for the Republicans to trust too much to this precedent. The recent elections demonstrate that their party is so torn by internal quarrels that its linos are easily broken. The inspiring issues on which it was organized and through which it has won its great triumphs have passed into history. The Republicans themselves can not so revive those issues as to make them of any avail in the Presidential campaign just now opening. It is only the Democrats who can do this by persistently, foolishly thrust ing them into the arena of controversy. On a superficial view, however, the prece dent to which we have roferred throws a cloud over the prospects of the Democracy, teaching them that the only sure mode by which they can dissipate its force is to eon duct their Presidential campaign in an unpre cedented manner. They must rely solely upon their own strength, nor attempt to win the battle according to the tactics which ruled the party in the days of Buchanan an epoch which, measured by the events that have since revolutionzed the country, is a century old. In a word, if the Democracy would succeed in 1872, they must divide their opponents, keep step with the times, and thus turn the flank of the Congressional precedent of the past forty-four years. And the way to do this has just been shown them in the State election in Missouri. THE STATE OF THE SICK MAN. From the X. Y. Times. "Whatever may be the results of the present difficulty between Russia and England, it is clear that before the advances of a vigorous organizing empire, like the Russian, a feeble and organizing rival, like Turkey, must yield.- It is impossible for England to inter pose forever between the two. The point must be reached when her interests will not support the strain, and then Turkey must yield to civilization. English writers and statesmen too often insist on representing Turkey as progressive, and Russia as a barbarous or effete power. The capacity for development of the Ottoman is the burden of most English commentaries on the Eastern question, and a species of morbid sentiment has been created in favor of the fungoid civilization of the dying em pire. Turkey is Constantinople, even more fully than Paris is France. In that city a wise and experienced statesman, Ali Pasha assisted by two or three able subordinates of his own race, educated in European capitals, and a number of European assistants, who, under a eervico more or less efficient, are dearly paid holds head against the internal attacks of Ottoman barbarism as well as the external menaces of the diplomacy of En rope, and manages to impress the Western average mind that Constantinople is a charming place in spite of everything, and the Turks really a most tolerant and amia ble race. Yet, before the American war, there were streets in Pera, even, where a Christian could not go save at the risk of his life, and at this day there is not a Pashalik where the forms of law are respected an instant longer than it pleases the Pasha to follow them. The innate bins of the Mus sulman against education by letters is as great as in any Roman Catholic country at any time within the past century; and his unconquer able aversion to a Christian cannot be un known even to those who have soen only Stamboul. Even where the same race embraces both religions, the distinction between the Christian and his computiiot Mussulman is too striking to leave room for the question. In the Christian portion tnere will be tne greatest eagerness to attend schools, and the utmost indifference tp them in the Mohammedan. It is an in disputable fact that the m inertit of the Mohammedan element of Turkey is against all advance in civilization, and to such a degree that no force but conquest can over come it. If Stamboul could move it would only be the motion of the head without the body. More than this, the innovations on (he Moslem law have seriously demoralized the faithful. It is not at all uncommon to hear even the common soldiers say that now that the law is broken by the Padischah the end has come. The last concessions extorted by the Cretan insurrection in favor of the Christians, the Sultan's visit to Paris, eto were received by the army in Crete as the sign of that long-ago-foretold expulsion of their empire from Europe which forms the subject of an universal credence among Mus sulmans, and produced an immediate and re mark able demoralization. The army, nominally four hundred thou sand strong, is composed of excellent ma terial, but with the worst conceivable dis cipline and officering. The best officers are European adventurers, the most capable of whom now in high command is probably the conqueror of Crete, Mehmet Ali Pasha, "the Prussian. " The commander of the marine . forces. Admiral Hobart Pasha, is a man of . little real ability, but of much fool-hardiness, not favorably known in the English service which he left for the Turkish, either for character or capacity. His captains are . stolid, anathetio set; the crews are without discipline, and, for eoonomy'a sake, never ex ercised in the use of their guns. . Daring the Cretan insurrection there was only one in stance of a Turkish man-of-war attacking seriously a Greek blookade-runner, and she was very near being captured, owing her safely to the approach of an iron-clad eon-sort. As to finances, all the world knows that between bad systems of collection and cor rupt disbursement, there is no relianoe to be put on the Malieh in times of pressure. If Russian finances are weak, Turkish are rotten. But an element more favorable to Russia in certain emergencies is the l'ro-Kussian party in the capital itself, including many of the most obstinate and influential of the Mussulman magnates a party always respect able, and much increased of late by the able diplomacy of the Russian Ambassador. lne personal intluence and administrative ability of Ali Pasha alone have kept the Russian party from power in seve ral crises, and when he dies or is disgraoed, it will be difficult to find a head who will keep the empire in even its present relations with the Western powers. If left to them selves, there is little doubt that tho majority of the Beys find ultra-Turkish Pashas would prefer an easy yielding to the tutelage of Russia, with a guarantee of personal privi leges and tranquillity, to a perpetual struggle of which they see the inevitable result. It would not be at all surprising if the problem were to be settled in this way. The perma nence of the present state of things at Stam boul may depend on the life of An Pasha or a whim of the Sultan. snors of designs. From the X. Y. Tribune. We suggested the other day tho establish ment of a training school for nurses, as an effective and speedy mode of helping women who want a livelihood and are willing to work for it. Another, equally quick and effective, would be the opening of a workshop of de sign. .Large numbers of women, of more or less artistic ability, rooeive education to fit them as designers, engravers on wood or steel, coloristsof drawings or photographs; but after the education is obtained, fail to find employment. Tho large majority of these are young girls of gentle and reserved home-training, anxious to support them selves, yet, from old prejudices, with which the rest of us may or may not sympathize, not quite prepared to leave the seclusion of home to open Bhops, or in any manner force their way in public On the other hand, manufacturers of carpets, wall-papers, gas fixtures, all handicraftsmen, in fact, by whom models of form or color are used, are in daily need of new designs, and willing to pay well lor tnem. 'inere is, however, so far as women are concerned, no way in which the producer and consumer of thi3 kind of work can bo brought into contact. Iso workshop, we believe, is now attached to any Academy of Design in the country. When some years ago there was one in Phi ladelphia, women through it supplied with designs all the principal manufacturers oi that city. Now, men have almost in every instance supplanted them, simply from the inability oi tlie majority of women to push theniFtlves into notice. An institution of the kind we suggest would at once beoome self-supporting. Designs for all kinds of manufactures for which designs are requisite could be made at home and brought there by the women; the manufacturers would gladly embrace the chance of freeing themselves from tho monopoly which a few men (mostly foreigners) now hold of this branch of trade. Most of the large houses for producing car pets, shawls, iron work, etc., support a de signer, with whoso work they are obliged to be satisfied, whether bad or good. In the mode we proposo the best work, as in other lines of business, would command the best price. Contracts could be entered into between the woman artist, as well as the man, and tne manufacturer, it it wa3 thought most convenient; and the workshop or middle man thus dispensed with. Such contracts are held by some women of good artistio capabilities in New England and Philadel phia, and faithfully fulfilled. The expenses of the design-shop could be defrayed by a small percentage from buyer and seller. Whatever mav be the differing opinions of thoughtful men with regard to woman's suf frage, there is not one who is not anxious to clear every obstacle out of her path which hinders her from earning her own living if induced to do bo by her wish or her necessity, and who would not, for the sake of his own wife and daughters, shield her in her new work as far as he could from contact with hardship or vulgarity. No kind of work opens a wider doer than this, or draws a woman less from the desirable seclusion of home. There may not be many great artists among women, but there is a large and genorally diffused amount of artihtio taste, or skill, or nicety of manipulation, which qualifies them to do ordinary work; and ordinary work of this kind, especially wood engraving, is more remunerative than sewing or the lower kinds ot teaching, besides being in as constant and as large demand. , Unless, however, some establishment such es we suggest is opened, the work rarely reaches women's hands; the men who have control of it are not likely to stand aside to make way for weaker, though perhaps as capable, competitors. The mistake made by women seeking new careers is that they all push iiito the highest intellectual depart ments; a woman with the capacity and manual adroiti.ess which would lit her for her an or dinary handicraft must be the C-esar of the rostrum, or nothing; in her new-fledged am bition she forgets how the great majority of men content themselves witn subordinate employment. One workshop of design will accomplish more practical good than a dozen conventions. In the course of six months the competition would relieve manufacturers of the exceptionally high rates which they are now compelled to pay, while women now unable to find any work would be well paid as designer, lithographers, japanners, and wood engravers. NOT THIS ONLY, BUT MORE ALSO. From the X. T. World. We and all Democrats go as far as the farthest for revenue reform. Free trade is on our flag, and our flag is nailed to the mast for the fight in 1S72. But other legends are also there inscribed. The Democratic party welcomes every ally in the contest for reform of our revenue chaos. But free trade is not the onlv nurDOBi with which the oartv is in spired, nor the only blessing with which its victory will be pregnant for the people of the Lnited btates. For a period of ten years a party has been in possession of the General Government that has done more to consolidate all kind of power into the hands of that Govrnment than all the other parties had accomplished in that way for the seventy years preceding the advent of the Republicans at the first election of I incoln. The old Federal party did a good deal in this direction, but its chief intluence was txeited during the administration of Washington, and that influence was restrained and modified by his rrudenoe and caution. The Whig party had somo strong tendencies to centralization, but these tendencies were in some degree held in cheok by the neoesaity for paying deference to the great fundamen tal principles of the rights of States and ocauties. The Whigs never attempted to carry a Presidential election by a sectional combination; and the necessity they were under, therefore, to secure the votes of Southern States obliged them to be cautions in their doctrines respecting the powers of the Federal Constitution. Upon the whole, it may be said that what was done by both of those defunct parties to make our federal Government a consolidated one bears no sort of proportion to what has been done in that direction by the Republicans. Where there was one measure initiated by the Federalists or the Whigs that gave rise to a serious ques tion respecting constitutional power, any one acquainted with the Congressional legislation and executive administration of tho past ten years can put his finger on a dozen measures each of w nich is of a more alarming charac ter than all the other measures of the Fede ralists or the Whigs put together. in the period that elapsed from the estab lishment of the Constitution dowo to the final dissolution of the Whig party there were certain principles of interpretation of the text of the Constitution, in regard to the ex tent of its political powers, about which all parties were agreed. The memorable differ ence between tho Democratic party, as led by General Jackson, and the Whigs, as led by Mr. Clay, concerning the power of Congress to create a national bank, developed a more decided dillerence in the spirit of consti tutional interpretation than almost any other subject with which those parties had to deal a far more decided difference than that which existed between them con cerning the constitutional power of "pro tection" through a tariff of duties. But with that notable exception there was, com paratively FpeakiDg, but little difference be tween them in respect to the principal doc trines of constitutional powers; and with such men as Marshall and Story on tho bench and as Clay and W obstor in Congress the Demo cracy as a party had little reason to complain of the spirit and tendency of their opponents in giving interpretation to the particular powers of Congress, or any other department of the Government. The country had not then undergone the misfortune of having a i'rtsiuent elected by a sectional vote; and all men in publio life, on all sides, agreed sub stantially on certain great axioms of consti tutional law that preserve the line of demar cation between the Federal and the State powers. A publio man in those days who could be justly accused of straining the Con stitution beyond a reasonable definition of its powers was a rare and unenviable character. lut cow all this is changed. The Repub licans have brought about among all their ranks, among all their leaders, and among all their functionaries who have anything to do with tho administration of the Federal Gov ernment, a tone and style of treating its powers as if they were paramount over all subjects and on all occasions. The line which divides those powers from tho powers of the States is ignored; or, if it is not absolutely ignored, the habit of reasoning from the principle that Federal power can alone accomplish what people think ought to be accomplished has entirely obliterated the old doctrine that the supremacy of the Fede ral Constitution is a supremacy that can exist only within a prescribed sphoro. lionce we have had usurpation following usurpation until it is impossible to tell where this ten dency to consolidation will end, nnless it is checked by a political revolution that will bring into power a class of men bound by their party traditions, their personal training, end their political principles to administer the Federal Government in a different spirit. Ihis political revolution can only be effected by the Democratic party. This is a reform which no other political organization can bring about, because it requires the binding force of old party traditions, habit, and discipline to institute it and carry it out. A new party associated only or chiefly on the basis of a reduction of the tana to the point of destroying the hydra "protection" would be entirely without power to restore the Constitution to the sway and influence of those principles of interpretation on which Hamilton would have agreed with Madi son, Marshall would have agreed with Taney, Clay would have agreed-with Jackbon, Webster would have agreed with Silas Wright. That there is such a common ground on which these great representatives of their respective periods and parties stood, and that it is the only ground on which we of this generation can stand for the preservation of our political system from the dangers and mischiefs of consolidation is perfectly clear. It is the mission of the Democratic party to occupy this ground and to fight this battle. It will do it by recognizing the settlement of the issue of State secession as final, and by main taining the indissoluble nature of the Union. It will accept whatever changes have been made in the text of the Constitution by the rightful process of amendment, and it will loyally adapt its action and its measures to those changes. But it will set its face resolutely and sternly against all that habit of construing and using the powers of the Con stitution for purposes that are not within the sphere of the General Government which has taken possession of its legislative and executive departments. It will insist that the Federal Government shall be adminis tered as what it is as a government of de fined and limited powers, each of which is capable of an exact and rational definition, that will save it from encroaching on the rights of local self-government and prevent the Federal system from becoming a consoli dated empire. The Democratic party are revenue reform ers, andjnore also. LOOKINQ CLASSES, ETO. LOOKING CLASSES, Strictly our own manufacture, and of warranted workmanship, at the lowest prices.
