Editorial Opinions of the Leading Journals upon Current Toplos Complied Every Day for the Evening Telegraph. THE INTERESTS OF THE UNITED S I'AIES IN THE EAST. JVom the y. Y. Herald. The Eastern question, that has boon slum bering during fonrtoeu years, under the musty parchment of a treaty, has suddenly arisen and pnt the statesmen of old Europe on tho qui vive. Those who wore instrumen tal in framing tho treaty ia 18"G did not foresee that they were only patching up tha old difliculty aud that this traditional carbun cle of Europe would opeu anew. And yet they might hare foreseen it. For the last fourteen years Russia has been smarting ua der the humiliatiDg conditions which were then imposed upon her, and nhe njw openly declares that she will tolerate them no longer. She will not abate a jot of hor demands. The second note addressed by Trince Uortsohakolf to the British Cabinet may be considered more conciliatory in its terms, but is in substance ouly the reitera tion of tho first. The statesmen of England may cudgel their brains for a peaceful adjust ment of tnis vexed question, but there are oaly two ways in which it can be solved by war or by yielding to the demands of llussia. j n adopting the latter course England will ' acitly acknowledge that the blood and trea sure poured out during tho Crimean war were spent in vain. In Erjgland tho general aspoct was more pacific. Thero was an .improved fecliDg on 'Change, that delicate barometer of Erilitih sentiment and opinion. Tha Lon don newspapers treated the subject more or less pointedly in their morning issues. A leading city journal, which is supposed to speak under official inspiration at critical moments in tho history of Great Britain, asserted conspicuously in tha name and behalf of tho English people, that, "desiring tho maintenance of peace, we stand on the maintenance of pjacd guarantees aud the repudiation altogether of the claim to supersede the obligations of the treaty of lSoO." The principle involved here, if it should be adopted by the Cabinet in Downing street, would restore tho original cause of difficulty aud danger. This state of affairs can scarcely occur, however, if we are to believe another Loudon paper, which alleged that it had an official statement to the effect that ".Russia has decided to withdraw her demand aud submit her propo sition to the decision of the conference.'' Here we have "the conference" spoken of as a fixed fact. If this iinportaut meeting should be held we are to presume that poace will be preserved, as Russia will either gain her object or be forced to submit for tha present, at least to the solemn arbitration of her national peers, delivered in friendly council. From the guarded atatements of the Rus sian Minister in this country during the in terview with a Herald reporter we understand that Russia seeks no territorial aggrandize ment, but will remain firm in her rejection of that olauso of the treaty which keeps her war vessels from entering tho Black Sea; and she has five hundred thousand good reasons ready to back her demands. In the face of these events it is well for us to examine whether the interests of our country are in volved in the East. There are American statesmen who hold that the United states are not concerned in any of the political questions that have set the Old World in commotion. They say tliat tue Monroe doctrine suouiu be our line of conduct. The doctrine of complete non interference was well suited to the time at which it was proclaimed. The United States were then a second-rate power. Out of tho late struggle we have arisen a great, regene rated nation, and now occupy a commanding position in the world. 1 or all practioal pur poses of communication we have been brought within a few hours of Constanti nople, and are daily creating new interests for ourselves in the East. Our immense re sources, our industry and the late inventions of science have raised this country to a posi tion ot grandeur. There is an old maxim that says'iVb&ieast? oblige," and it may be affirmed with equal justioe, Grandeur obliges. Those statesmen who think that we have uo political interests m tho Old 'World are behind their age; for during the last few years tho foreign element has been steadily flowing to our shores, and its influence has made itself felt in the framing of our foreign policy. Another thought presses itself npon the attention of onr Government. In case of a war between this country and England and Bucn an emergency mar arise if we take into aooount the late utterances of General But ler Russia can render us effective assistance, She can deal a deadly blow to the most che rished interests of England by barring her passage to the East. There is another consideration a moral one which onr administration will do well not to forget. Of all the European powers llussia was tne only one mat evinoed a sin . oere sympathy for our cause during the lata war. If the Cabinet of St. Petersburg had followed the seductive advico of the Emperor Napoleon, in order to briDg about a formida ble coalition against this country, the Soutk might have been able to constitute herself into an independent State. It is a notorious fact that the Emperor Alexander repelled these insidious proposals. He did even more ; for at the most critical mo ment of onr struggle he sent a fleet into onr waters in order to attest, by the presence of the imperial flag, the sympathies of his government for the people of this country. But, say Mauhiavelli and his fol lowers, gratitude should not be the line of conduct in political actions. We believe tkat this doctrine is as false as it is hackneyed Gratitude in publio and private life is not only a virtue, but a matter of sound polioy. and States, as well as individuals, acquire credit if they stick to their friends. A firm in Wall street would bring disgrace upon itself if, in a crilioal moment, it should desert its business friends. Does not the moral of this also apply to the firm of Grant it Company in their political relations to the hroi of Alex, an der & Co. at the present crisis of affair? We Ao not think England will declare war against Russia without the assistance of a Continental power. ihe author of an arti ole in the last number of the Edinburgh Jietiew and who is presumed to be no lass a person than Mr. Gladstone himself admits tkat large armies are necessary for carrying on offensive warfare. We shall quote hi statement:- "While everything combines to make us safe, everything also oomblnes to make us harmless. Xo judge from recent experience, the relative share of maritime force ia aggressive warfare is dwindling, and we are an essentially, incurably, maritime power. All the sea does for us as Aefenier of our own shores it would impartially do against us when we proceed to attaok the shores of others." In the Baltio Cronstadt is more inaccessi ble to hostile fleets than ever. Russia has fifty iron-cl.ids, and the forts which defend the entrance of the river Neva are impregna ble. A British fleet venturing into these waters would expose itself to destruction. In tbe Black Sea the English might bombard Odessa, Kertcb, and a few other ports of minor importance; but, on the whole, they would incur a heavier loss than they could inflict. The only power which could be the ally of England is Austria. Is it probable that Francis Joseph will rink a second Sadowa and the dismemberment of the Austrian empire? At (be first demonstration of hostility a Russian artny of five hundred thousand men is in readiness to bear down upon Vienna. On tbe other hand, Russia has repeatedly de clared that f-he has no designs upon any part of the Turkish territory. She states that the liberty of tho Black Sea is vital to her interests as a first rate p-wer. She wants nothing moro and will be satisfied with nothing less. Publio opinion will re cognize the tHstice of her demands. Mo one can deny that the treaty of 18"G has been repeatedly violated, and the clause concern ing the Black Sea is in contravention ot tne grand principle of the liberty of the seas. In view of the foregoing arguments and tacts the present administration should lend its moral support to the cause of Russia, and thus discharge the debt of gratitudo wo owe that power. A TATRIOT UNDER A CLOUD. From the X Y. Time. Tho world has rarely hal tho good fortune to possess a great General who was equally apt with tho pen and with the sword. Still more rarely has it seen one wno used ms literary talent in giving to postority a plain, unvarnished talo of nis own campaigns. Alexander the Great, Hannibal, and Napo leon left the records of their triumphs to bo sifted and arranged by succeeding his torians. Washington and General Grant will live chiefly in tho pages of more or less competent biographers. To this gene ral rule there is, however, in ancient times tho very notable exception of Julius Crcsnr, and in our own day tho equally re markable one of General John O'Neill. With the Commentaries of the great Roman will hereafter rank the "official report on tho at tempt to invade Canada" by the "President of the i enian Urotnernood. llie scuooluoy of tho future may not, improbably, bo as familiar with the opening phraso, "Since I last bad tho honor to address you," a3 with tbe well-known piece of Latinity, "The wholo of Gaul is divided into three parts." We leave it to more ingenious chroniclers to establish a parallel between tho ancient and the modern military autobiographer, Theie are, to bo sure, such points of coinci dence as the following: Ciusar was tho gono ral of an actual Romau republic; O Neill was the general of a possible Irish one; C;o3ar had a good many enemies m tho llornan Senate; so had O Neiil in the Fenian one; Crcsar came, saw, and conquered; O Neul went, saw, and was arrested. Believing, how ever, that a hypercritical publio might fail to see the strict appositeness of such analogies, we commend them to the attention of the future historian, who will address a moro impartial audience. General O Neill shows, it must be confessed, a very slender amount of respect for the chroniclers of the passmg time. Lven tho select band of reporters who comforted the ill-starred commander with the assurance that his name would not sustain "one iota of blemish," are only approved to the extent of having furnished narrativos "in the main correct. " Outside of theso, tha Gene ral finds nothing save lies and misrepresen tation. The representative of one New York journal is credibly stated to have "made good time to the rear, while another, who was probably demoralized by being assigned to investigate the Sunday mysteries of the "palatial stables, "was so gloriously drunk that he and his note-book had to be picked up from the roadside that afternoon, by the Sheriff of Chittenden county." If he had been spending the day with Mr. Tweed, he could not have behaved worse. Seeing that out of materials so furnished history is made, we can hardly wonder that General John u JNeill should, in self-detense, have taken to the writing of his own com mentaries. In the calm seclusion of the. jail at Burlington, Yt., the gallant leader of the heroic band who fought at Eloles Hill pro ceeds to narrate the true story of what pro fane reporters called the great reman fizzle of May, 180. Like Malvolio, the General found greatness thrust upon him. He now believes that the Ma chiavellian leaders of the Brotherhood pnt him forward as a soape-goat to bear the odium of certain failure. When he undertook the job, ho wever, he felt cer tain of success. As to its justice or expe ditney he had no misgivings. His patriotio creed is comprehensively summed up in the formula that steel is the certain cure for Irish grievances. He joined the Fenian organiza tion because it promised a fight, and he went to Canada because it was the only opening that offered for fighting. The direct invasion of Ireland, while Lngland remained at peaoe. he believed to be wholly impracticable, but Canada, "once gained, would serve as an excellent base of operations against the enemy." With this lucid and eminently satisfactory programme, General U Neul took the field. A plan of campaign was sketched which eombines in a striking degree the original and the practicable, Tha combinations of Yon Moltke were not more elaborately framed, and their force would doubtless have been as irresistible if the men had only come up. Bat what oould the moBt original military genius do under sno'a circumstances as tbe following, recorded more in sorrow than in anger by the nnfor tnnate commander? The C o'clock train from the South arrived bringing, instead of from ten to twelve hun dred men promised by Massachusetts, about twenty. five or thirty, "including Colonel II. Sullivan. He aad most of the men he hod with him would have better served the cause by remaining at home. Ia liea of six hundred men promuad by Ver mont and northeast xsew York, about eighty or ninety in charge of Major J. J. Monaghau arrived on the train.' With such materials as this General O'Neill resolved to make his great attempt, fully believing that onoe a footing was obtained on Canadian soil, thou sands would noeit to ms standard. It is. however, the first step that oosts and in this case tbe step was a backward one. Second only in ingenuity to General O'Neill's "plan of campaign" is his relation of the circumstances attending his arrest. Many interesting points are raised, bearing npon the relative speed of horses and ride balls, the efficacy of barrels ia stopping a running carriage, and such like, which we leave to the treatment of profession! cntiiM, The General prove, to Lis own satisfaction, that he could not have been resoned 1 from the custody of General Foster. Whether he has proved it to the satisfaction of his late comrades or not, is soaroely' a question of publio importance. The chief point of interest to his late antagonists, of whom the General talks very handsomely, is the "No, emphatically no, with which he answers the question, "Shall another attempt be made to invade Canada? On this point, at least, we can fairly applaud General O'Neill's good sense, and trust, farther, that it may be shared to the full by his impetnouts friends and compatriots. But should another attempt be made, we hope Mayor Hall will lead it, arrayed in his well-known green suit. THE LAW OF RAILWAYS WHAT ARE THE RIGHTS OF TICKET-HOLDERS? From the If. Y. Sun. A case has just been tried in tho English Court of Exchequer, before Baron Martin and a jury, which is of much interest to the very large number of persons who hold sea son tickets on our railways. The law of rail ways in England has grown up at the same time with that in the United States, and similar questions have arisen ia both coun tries, 'ihe decisions of the courts of the State of New York in this branch of the law are regarded by the British courts with great reppect, and frequently are referred to and followed by them. The fact that in these coses the tribunals of ono country not sel dom look to the courts of the other for pre cedents and for guidance, makes the case to which we refer more interesting and import ant to us. , It is entitled "Buckmaster against tho Great Eastern Railway Company," and was tried on November 10. Tho plaintiff was a miller at Fiamlinghnm, in Suffolk, and the holder of a season ticket issued by tho com pany, by which they contracted to convey him by any of their trains running between Fi amlingham and London. In the course of bis business it was necessary for tho plaintiff frequently to attend the London corn mar ket. The company advertised an oarly train to start from Framlingham at W." A. M., and one morning last autumn the plaintiff went down to the station to go to the market by this train. But it so happened that on this particular morning the fireman was lazy. At a quarter to feven the fire in the engine was so low that thero was no steam, and of course the train could not start. Although of apparently little present consequence to tho oincers of the read at Framlingham, this delay was no slight matter to Mr. Buckmaster, and so ho informed tbem. Nothing was done to for ward tbe train, however, and the station- master brusnuely told. Mr. Buckmaster in acswer to his complaints that if he wanted to go on ho must pay for a special train. Ibis he agreed to do, and a special train was ordered and took him to London at an ex pense of nearly two hundred dollars. But he reached the city too late for the market, and thereby incurred a los3 of fifty dollars. The suit was brought t: recover these two amounts that paid for the special train, and the lofs consequent upon tho delay. When the plaintiff s case had been proved, the counsel for the defendant submitted that no cau.se of action against the company had been shown. He argued that the contract between the parties was expressed on the season ticket, the terms of which were that it was issued subject to the rules and regu lations of the company for the time being, and that the time-tables expressly stated that while every exertion would be made to secure punctuality, the arrival and departure of trains at the time therein stated would not be guaranteed, nor would the company hold themselves responsible for any delay er its consequncea arising out of accident or other causes, lie argued also that tho company were not in any event liable for tho damages caused by loss of market. On these points the Judge decided against the railway. In charging the jury, he said that no action would lia apjainst tho company for the mere discontinuance of any particular train. That, however. wa3 not this case. Here the defendant's servant had been guilty of the grossest negligence, in consequence of which there was an entire failure to forward an advertised train. No accident whatever had occurred; and it could not even be said that tbe company had used their best efforts to send on the train. On the contrary, they had done nothing of tbe kind. As to the damages, he thought the plaintiff ought to recover the pecuniary loss which he suffered through losing the market, in addition to the cost of the special train. ihe jury rendered a verdict for the plain tiff for both amounts in full. After the ver dict, Baron Martin said he was surprised that tne company had not sooner repaid to the plaintiff the amount which they charged him lor tne special tram. GEN. SHERMAN'S REBUKE OF GRANT. Frtm the X. Y. World. General Sherman has done well in rebuking, in his official report, the systematic nsa of the standing army by the Republican party ia aid 01 tee civil power, or rather its own political power, but the rule he recommends for the future is faulty. He says the Federal military 'snorud only be employed as a posse conutatus duly summoned by the United States Mar shal, and acting in his personal presence. Doubtless General Sherman foresees that the constant use of the army, as Grant has used it, as an instrument of eoercion in elections North, South, East, and West, will arouse a t pirit of aversion towards it which it will not be easy to allay. Bat the diffioulty with his plan of reform is that be evidently contemplates the further use of the military in aid of tbe exe cutive as contradistinguished from the judi cial power, for he not only places the force under charge of the Marshal, but permits him to call it forth. That is-wrong, as General Sherman would have seen had he been better instructed in the British constitutional and political history of this partioular subject during the last 150 years. In that country it has long been settled that it is in aid of tbe magistrate the judicial, not executive power that the military can be used. There are but two British statutes one 14 Car. II (amended George III), and the other 21 Car., II authorizing tha use of soldiers of the regular ari&y to aid the executive, in the fonuer case to collect customs and in the latter to suppress conventicles. If he will tarn to the opinion given by tbe then Attorney-Gene ral, Lord Raymond, in 1721, wherein the legality under tbe common law of using troops in aid of clvu power was first carefally considered, General Sherman will see that the conclusiDn was that the army "should not at all interpose in any of these things, bat at such times as they shall be desired by tho civil magistrate. The form of warrants issued by Hie King or Hecrotary at War from 1710 to 172."), directed to the troops when call ing on them for aid, is most instructive. The orders to the military in nearly al 1 coses were ia the negative directing them not to repel force witu force aniess the civil magistrate should find it necessary and give the orders. Ia every case tbe magistrate was made responsi ble for wrongful or mistaken action. I a Great Britain to this day there is no statutory ftrovision in respect to using the regular army n aid of the civil power. The primary re sponsibility is with the judicial power, and repeatedly hate the British law officers ad vised that the judge cannot order the military or anybody else to assist in the preservation of the publio peace unless personally present. And for the military force the request of tbe magistrate most be passed upon not merely by a military officer like the commander-in-chief, but by a minister responsible to Par liament. General Sherman ought to be fa miliar with the Queen's regulations of 1808 for the army when aiding the civil power, in which (article HI 4) it is direoted that no ' officer is to go with troops to aid "in the suppression of riot, or maintenance of the publio peace, or the execution of the law, except upon tbe requisition of a magistrate in writing," eto. The infinite detail of these regulations shows political liberty in England hems in and restrains the standing army. The underlying idea is that them 111 Ti lit lio Imminent Annan ( a rint or insurrection to justify the presenae of the army, and even then the judicial power is alone to pass upon the exigency of the situ ation and direct the troops. It is preserva tion of tho general peace, not tho victory of political party, which in England will justify use of bayonets and bullets in time of peace. Therefore it is on the advice of a judioial oflicer supposed to be above tbe clamor of tbe hour that the British Secretaiy of State for War would order out the troops. General Sherman has done well as far as he has gone, but he needs to drink deeper at the fountain sourceB of civil and personal liberty. It is evident, too, that General Sherman is uninformed or misinformed as to the nature of the office of marshal. Unlike a sheriff, he has no common law functions or duties. As Federal courts have no jurisdiction of com mon law officers, so Federal marshals have no common law powers. A marshal is, by sta tute of ltS'.K to exeoute lawful precepts directed to him by the court, and in the exe cution of that duty can command all neces sary assistance. He is not, however, as is a sheriff, a preserver of the publio peace in whose hands should be placed the Federal army to maintain good order within jurisdiction of a State. That is tbe duty of tho authorities of that State. And if General Sherman will carefully study the legislation of Congress in 1 !). he will find that it is the militia of the States and not the regular army upon which tho Presi dent is to rely mainly in case of riot or in surrection. It is a significant fact that it is in enforcement of the neutrality laws under tbe act of 1S18, and latteily in controlling elections under the ant of l-HO, that the President is empowered to uho tho stand ing army. A NEGRO CANDIDATE. From the IJarihburg rat nut. The radical list of candidates for State Senator in the First district has been in creased by a negro who longs to distinguish hirustll in the legislative halls of Pennsyl vania. To the names of Morris, Moran, Lyndall, Tittermary, andga dozen of others must bo added that of Octavius V. Cato. If there be anything in a name, and there is certainly nothing in his color, that prevents him from being a radical candidate, be is just the man for State Senator. The radioals in that body have great need of a statesman of the btern Roman virtues of a Cato. Ia the resolutions presenting Mister Cato, the colored suffragans of theiirst district inti mate that they will no longer be hewers of wood and drawers of water. By this they do not mean that they will cease to chop wood, tote water, dump ooal, black boots, end do other chores for thoir white fellow- citizens of Philadelphia. It is a figure of speech by which they convey the hint that they will not be used merely to voto tbe radical ticket, but must have thoir full share of the honors and emoluments of office. This is Congo gratitudo towards those who have bestowed the boon of tho ballot. The glorious privileges of suffrage conveyed by the ntteeuth amendment are contemptuously described in the figurative language of South street as tbe hewing of wood and drawing of water. The negroes of the First district basely fly ia tho t'acos of their white brethren and demand tho nomi nation for State Senator. If this does not fill the heart of every radical patriot within the bounds of that district with disgust we kave utterly failed to comprehend the nature of the animal, lhat the negroes of Phila delphia, to whom the ballot was given that they might swell the party vote, should insist on holding the offices into the bargain is more than the good temper of the politician of the radical persuasion in that city can bo expected to bear. But he will soon discover that he must grin and bear it. In South Carolina and other portions of the reconstructed South the negroes have pretty nigh ceased to hew wood and draw water in the political camp of their allies. A negro Secretary of State, three negro members of Congress, and negroes in numerous other publio positions, show their understanding of the fifteenth amendment in South Carolina. This was not the programme of the carpet baggers, who expected a life estate in the offices of that State by means of negro votes. In their disgust at negro ingratitude aad white superciliousness, many of them are now leaving that country for that country s good, Candor compels the admission that the blaoks who have been elected to office ia South Carolina are the superiors of their carpet-bag rivals, iar be it from us, however, to insti tute a comparison between Ootavius Yes pa- si onus Cato and his intelligeat and distin guished white competitors for the radioal nomination for Senator in the First district of Philadelphia. The eyes of the country are now fixed on the First district. Here is an opportunity for the radicals of Philadelphia to give a sig nal test of the sincerity of their convictions. If negroes are good enough for voters, let the radicals show that they are good enough also to represent Philadelphia in the State Legislature. There should be no wriggling in the Loyal League on Broad street. The members of that political association cla mored loudly for the ratification of tbe fif teenth amendment in this State. They sent representatives to the capital who violated their offioial oaths and trampled on the Con stitution cf the Commonwealth by voting for the ratification. The mutilated Constitu tion stands to-day with the word white written all over it, as a monument of the per fidy and obsequiousness of tbe representa tives of the people of Pennsylvania. But that is past. The revolution has been effected by fraud, but it is none the less a revolution. It has all the virtue and validity of tbe solemn bud deliberate deoree of the people. Let tbe white radioals or Philadelphia ao cept the situation with the best grace. A Kfj ro demands, as proof of their sincerity, a scut in tbe Senate of Pennsylvania under aa bmrhdinent which was ratified against the will cf the people. Tbe claim of the negroes lor leoccmtion at the hands of the liroal Btreet Leaguers should be fully met. There should be no oheaticc rennd the board. Let I William B. Mann keep his trained repeaters away from the delegate elections. He should not be allowed to defraud the poor negro. One of the radical candidates for the nomina tion is the grandson of the great and patriotio financier of the American Revolution. But if tbe Leaguers are true to their principles they will set him aside for a candidate of more aa- cient lineage, and Robert Morris will have to. stand back for Octavius Yespasianus Cato, who was probably the descendant of an Abys sinian captive who was dragged at the chariot wheels of a Roman consul.
