THE VOICE OF THE JOURNALS ON ENGLAND'S DUTY. London, Dec. 19.—Tlie Pal! Mail Gazette, in a leading article, says the Cabinet lias come toa wise resolution. If in these days, after reading the history of the last ten years, after marking the relation of ‘continental powers, after learning the lesson which tlie condition of Europe at this moment plainly teaches, if after tills, any man thinks a rich empire cun exist without ever asserting a dis- position to fight for its possession und existence, that man must be a fool. If, without thinking so, lie maintains liis point, then lie must lie some kind of a traitor—the sort of traitor, perhaps, who declares him self a humanitarian or a churchman first, and an Englishman afterwards. Tlie Post says tlie summoning of Parliament probably means no more than a warning to the other Powers that England does not propose to allow the Eastern question to be set tled by the three Emperors, and thnl she must have some voice in tlie dis posal of her own future. VARIOUS RUMORS IN CIRCULATION— UNEASY FEELING. London, Dee. 18.—The Financier of this morning says all sorts of state ments, of more or less improbable character, were in circulation in tlie Stock Exchange Tuesday. Accord ing to one there are dissensions in tlie Cabinet; another affirms that tlie Marquis of Salisbury, Secretary of State for India, and Earl Carnovaii, Secretary of State for Colonial De partment, lire to quit; and another says Lord Beaeonsfield, thus rid of a clog upon ills policy, will.send troops to Gallpoli. It was further reported tlie Queen forwarded to the Min isters a written memorandum, or State paper, setting forth her views upon tlie Eastern question, and another report says that our Cabinet has sounded Berlin with re gard to a tentative move of Turkey In the direction of an arrangement, and sent an unfavorable answer; and so, one might go on with an enumera tion of idle reports and discussions, which arc exciting men’s minds, the multiplicity of which attests the uni versal interest felt in tlie question at issue and the general belief that another crisis in tlie war is reached. All that can be truly said is that an uneasy feeling prevails. VIEWS OF THE CABINET ON THE EAST ERN QUESTION — DIFFERENCES — PARLIAMENT MEETS ON THE 7TH— INSOLENCE OF GERMANY’S REPLY. Special la JSnqulrer-Sun.] Manchester, December 19.—Tlie London correspondent of tlie Guard ian telegraphs: My anticipation as to the meeting of Parliament on tlie 7th of January is confirmed. If Lord Beaeonsfield's wishes had been fully consulted, Parliament would meet much earlier, so that tlie Cabinet might liaye had the benefit of coun cils of the nation in the proposed ar rangements for peace. Seeing no hope of carrying a majority of ids s Eastern hop . colleagues with him in his policy. Lord Beaeonsfield desired to apply his old influence in Parliament, for apart from the utility of such a court, it relieves the Prime Minister of much responsibility. Two or three prominent members of the Cabi net take their stand on the plea that no questions which are beyond the competence ot tlie Ministry have yet come before them. There is the further and more substantial reason that tlie Premier’s influence with the bulk of Ids party would bring upon them an uncomfortable pressure in favor of liis personal policy. Tlie point lias now been fought in tlie Cabinet with the result or a compro mise. Instead of u December session, which tlie Premier was known to de sire, Parliament will meet three weeks earlier than usual. Tlie date, however, will be too far off to assist tlie Ministry In the deliberations that are now engaging their attention, and which have induced them to sit this week en permanence. The media tion proposal is already dead, even though Turkey may yield to the pressure which is now applied to her to except the conference proposals to tlie full instead of her present otter to place Her own reforms under the guarantee of Europe. Russia is backed by the more Influential pow ers in her demand, that Turkey’s overtures for peace shall in the first instance be addressed to her. One of the projects with which u section of ll>.. I-til,Diet is credited is tllilt if compel Russia to respect our interests in ease of a single-handed peace. No one suggests that Lord Beaeonsfield would go to the extent of an immedi ate declaration of war, but lie would enter in u course of warnings and tlireatenings which would inevitably lend to wav, if Russia did not give proof of unexpected moderation. It is tills phase of the question which lias occupied so much time during tlie Cabinet sittings of Friday, Monday and to-day- (Tuesday). No little asperity lias been shown in these discussions in consequence of what may be regarded as an act of flagrant party disloyalty by a very prominent member of tlie Ministry. It is stated that one of tlie most active opponents of Lord Beacons- field’s policy lias recently exchanged opinions with Earl Granville and the Marquis of Purtinglea as to the pros pects of a coalition of the Ministry, in order to carry out the Gladstone- Sallshury policy. The two liberal lenders are said to have thrown cold water upon that suggestion. At the present moment office is not particu larly desirable, and if 1 judge rightly neither of tlie noble Lords is likely to be in favor of a coalition with the Government. The news of the overtures above re ferred to, bus Hut just oozed out, and if tlie incident lias caused as much in dignation in the cabinet us It lias in the Conservative, the clubs on Down ing si reet must have been a very warm cornel*during the past few days. Note.—The foregoing probabably gives a very lair idea of tlie political situation in London, though there there are many other and conflicting rumors, one of which is that Eng land's overtures to Germany for Joint action were refused in almost con temptuous language. The Liverpool Poet, n sort of provincial Conservative organ, print ed a London special dispatch yester day, saying tliat the absoluteness and almost insolence of tlie tone of Ger many’s reply made a deep impression in ministerial circles. QUEEN TO OPEN PARLIAMENT. Special to the RiiqiitrcrSun.] London, December 19.—The Press Association learns on good authority the Queen will open Parliament in person. GERMANY. Blaranrck** Move In Ikoubfl. London, Dec. 19.—A Berlin dis patch to the Standard says the anx iously expected solution of tlie Papal crisis seems again at a stand still. Since yesterday it inis become certain that Prince Bismarck will not return to Berlin this year. Dr. Sedow.Under Secretary of State for Ecclesiastical Affairs, 'declines to become the suc cessor of Dr. Hoormann, President of tlie Superior Council of the Evangeli cal Church, and consequently Dr. Fulk, Minister of Public Instruction and Ecclesiastical Affairs, lias refused to countersign tlie decree accepting Dr. Hoormann’s resignation. To night it is rumored tliut Count Nes selrode, Chamberlain to the Empress, and one of Prince Bismarck's most influential and implacable adversa ries, had been removed from the Court. Tlie Post's Berlin dispatch says Prince Bismarck returns early January. TURKO-KUSSIAN WAR. SER VIA XH .4 D VA XVIXU.

The future of Bulgaria and tlie proposed rewards to Russia’s allies are not precisely Brit ish interests, and are outside of those issues which, according to the views of one section of tlie Cabinet, make it absolutely necessary that this coun try should hear a voice in the terms of peace. Though the Government are will iug to forego their treaty right toa Hand in the settlement. If their views and interest lie fully admitted. There is at present no sign from Russia tliat she will in any way bind herself.

The Difference Between (he Rich Skob- elefl und the I'uur Uourkw. From the London Times.) Here Isold Krudener absolutely re fusing to go away, though lie’ lias been offered a liberal pension repeat edly. He is over 73 years of age, w as full Colonel in tlie Polish campaign of 1831, and has to be shovelled on lo his horse by ids Cossack orderly; yet he will not go away, and still contin ues to misdirect a corps of 35,000 men. It never Hcems to occur to the author ities that a mistaken tenderness In these old men is dentil to their troops. At Nikopol Krudener made the Ninth Cossacks charge a battery mounted to HIh own intense satisfac tion, hut to tlie utter destruction of half the men and horses of tlie regi ment. At Brestovec village (the place from which I write) isSkobelefTs advanced forepost line, covered by artillery, heavy siege guns, and rilled mortars. His division, tlie Sixteenth, up to its full number, is all ensconced in ex cellent huts, a mile and a half further back, prepared for any cold, and with fireplace and chimney to every lull. His is the only Russian camp I ev er saw tliut is clean in tlie English sense of the word. All others are ptgstycs or worse, polluting tlie streams and breeding disease, regard less of consequences. His is clean. His one object in life is to lie idolized t ids men, and lie fully succeeds, c appears to bear a charmed life. Skobeleff suys, and lie says with truth: “This is a new era in war, and we are making experiments for tlie benefit of others. The shovel and tlie breech-loading rifle have changed everything. Artillery goes for noth ing; the Infantry assault is the only, though the most precarious, mode of success.” This, from a man who Inis had greater triumphs Hum any other in this army, is very valuable. And he persists iii leading liis di vision on himself, for he says he can not find it in Ids heart, like others, to send men on to death without sharing their risks himself. Nobly thought and nobly spoken. I have begged him not to ride oneof his gray horses to-day, but he says that to sec him on any other would dishonor Ids men. “If" l live to another campaign I will not ride white horses, but I cannot leave oft' now." These are the calm words of a man who five hours lienee Is going to wlmt is like certain death. Being a rich man, Skobeleff keeps open table, and all liis brigadiers und colonels sit down with Him twice daily, quite unlike Gourko, of whom it is said that “lie never dines,” but takes tea occasionally, writing mid working all the rest of the day. These two are rivals in fume, but Skobeleff is a rich young bachelor of 34, with immense expectations, and Gourko, a fatlierofa family, of 49, who bus nothing but ills pay. Each is a thorough soldier and each perfect in liis way. Gourko, though acavalry officer all liis life, is no mere sabreur, but iw thoughtful, in tellectual mail, who impresses you at once with a sense of mental power. He defends his raid through the Bal kans on apparently sound strategic grounds. At any rate it opened and lias kept open the gale ol tlie Bal kans. Skobeleff lias a curious theory tliat to attack positions you ought to be gin late in the afternoon. This makes it, if you fail, unlikely tliat your enemy will retort with a coun ter attack tliat night, and, on the other hand, you have tlie whole night to intrench. There is a good deal in favor of tlie idea. "SITE Ilow a HcniiiukUii tta* Fleeced Out of #1.170. CVnein noli Enquirer. ] One of the most barefaced and suc cessful swindling transactions that ever disgraced Cincinnati was perpe trated yesterday afternoon upon a couple of guileless and unsuspecting strangers, who were robbed of $1,100 in clean money. The victims are B. F. Berkley mid \V. H. Hanford, of Herein, Mercer county, Kentucky, a station five miles from Danville. They came to Ibis city day before yesterday over tlie Soutlrern Road, for the ostensible purpose of selling a drove of hogs owned between them. Yesterday morning tlie hogs were dis posed of al the Union .Stock Yards, and a check for payment was given by Huddleson & Co. for tlie sum of $1,-38 on tlie Fourth National Hank of tliis city. After their business was all settled, tlie Kentuckians, accom panied by a young son of Berkley’s, took a (rip to the Zoological Garden. When their curiosity imd been satis- lied by mi inspection of tlie wonders of tliat place, the party started for the city with (lie intention of taking tlie train at Ludlow for their home. When near the centre of the city Hanford remembered tliat a parcel which lie Had taken with 1dm had been left at the garden, and parting from liis companions went back for it. Berkley came on down town, and, inquiring Ids way to the bank on which liis check was drawn, went there and Had it cashed, the teller st in humlred-dollur bills. After pocket ing Ills roll of greenbacks lie started for tlie store of A. J. Clark, the shirt man, on West Fourth street, witti whom lie had a little business, and where lie hud agreed to await tlie ar rival of ids partner, Biinford, who had gone for Ids pared left at the Zoo. While going lo Clark's, Berkley was met by a young, well-dressed und agreeable mini, who accosted him heartily with: “Hello, Mr. Fisher, how are you?” Berkley replied that Ids mime was not Fisher, and that he really did not know who tlie stronger was. "Why, you look exactly like a friend of mine numeil Fisher. Wlmt •is your name, then, miiv I ask?” “They call me B. F. Berkley when I’m at home in Mercer county, Ken tucky.” “Oil, I’m mistaken then. Excuse me. Good day, sir." They parted, the stranger going one way, Berkley and liis hoy another. About ten minutes afterward, during which time stranger No. 1 hud met lii.s confederate and posted him as to liis prospective victim’s name and ad dress, stranger No. 3 comes up und says: “Why, Berkley, old fellow, how arc you(Had to see you, I as sure you.” “You huvethendvuntagr of me, sir; I don't remember you.” “Don't know Billy Welsh, nephew of William Welsh, of Danville, Ky.” “Why, is that you? Of course I know Welsh, of Danville; lie's an old friend of -mine," replied Berkley. “Well, I'm Ids nephew, sure’s you live.” Tills settled it with thecred- uloii«Grauger, wlio felt that lie Imd met a friend from home. At length No. 3 pursunded him logo to a place in the neighborhood of where the meeting took place, saying lie wished to show him some thing worth seeing. Wind lo cality they were in Is not known, as Berkley did not even know the name of tlie struct on which tlie encounter took place. Ascending a pair of stairs, in wlmt appeared to he a busi ness house, tjic party entered a finely- furnished room, where n man stood behind u counter near a machine of some kind Ural Imd a number of figures mi 11. Directly afterward stranger No. 1 comes in, but of course docs not recognize No. J. “Welsh” then commences the old bunko dodge of drawing money from the man behind (lie counter on a play lie imd made. Then, in order to show liis friend Heck Icy wlmt a nice game it was, asked him to laydown $30, and lie would explain how it worked. The money was laid down, and re mained wiicro it was placed. To still further explain, $159 was asked for und given -Just to explain (He game, of course. Still being unsatisfied, $1,090 was asked for, und witli the same readiness it was produced and placed beside the other. They Imd sized Ids pile, and knew tluil was alioul all lie imd; and then one of the scoundrels coolly picked up tlie$>1,170 and put il in liis pocket, with tlie remark, “I’ll keep tills.” Not until tliut moment did tlie poor, foolish Hockley suspect tliat lie was in a deli of thieves. Tlie I rutii flashed upon him in u moment, and, with tlie demand for liis money, lie pulled a knife from Ills pocket. It was no use. Two pis tols were instantly leveled at liis bead, and lie was ordered from tlie place. With grief and terror depicted in liis countenance, and leading liis crying boy by tin- lmnd, the robbed mail stumbled down tin* stairs and made liis way lo Ludlow, Ky., where lie met Hanford, who then learned for tlie llrsl time wlmt liail become of liis and Bleckley's money. They both returned to flic city and placed llic imillcr in the hands of tin* Chief of Police, who set the detectives to work lo limit up tin* robbers. Detec tive Mead arrested one who is sus pected of being “Welsh,” and he is held on suspicion at the Hammond street station. It is none other than William Lungdon, alias “Appetite Hill,” one of the shrewdest sharpers ill the city, llcisii collegiate with the air of a first-class business man, and lias no superior in his line of bus iness. The detectives arc after two others whom they suspect, but up to one o'clock this morning Imd not caught sight of them.

Fierce Rtueee**ful ••• The Large*! Vole Ever Fn*l. Special Dispatch to the Times.) Boston, December 11.—The elec- tion of Henry L. Pierce, the Mayor alty candidate of the citizens and Republicans, by a majoi'ity of 3,151, is due, in no small degree, to the young Republicans, who have zeal ously labored to prevent tlie consum mation of the registration frauds. The vote was tlie largest ever cast in the city, 47,915, an increase of nearly 14,000 over the State election. There was little excitement, the large num ber of police on duty at tlio polling places and Hie avowed determination of the citizens to vigorously prose cute all eases of fraud I laving an ex cellent effect. All the wards have not been heard from at midnight, hut it is known that the citizens’ ticket lor Aldermen and School Hoard 1ms been elected. The Aldermen arc equally divided between the Republi cans anil Democrats, and tlie School Board will include Miss Peabody und Miss Hale, two workers, who were defeated ut the Democratic triumph last December. The victory over ring rule and jobbery at the City Hall was tlie result of a united, earn est endeavor to purify municipal polities, and to achieve tliis result the Quuker vote was sought after and largely obtained. There was some feeling between tin* native Americans and foreign-born citizens, which con tributed to the result, and there was also an antagonistic feeling against Mayor Prince by the friends of ex- Goveruor Gaston, who charged that his defeat for the Governorship last month was due to City Hull influence. Mr. Pierce to-night received con gratulatory dispatches from all parts of the country. The figure- arc : Pierce, Republican, 35,033 ; Prince, Democrat, 33,883 ; Pierce’s majority, 3,151, a Republican gain of over 5,000 on last year's vote. ••derman S( rn|.."
