Great excitement against Russia exists in
India. Two hundred thousand volunteer;

The preponderating opinion at the capital
of the great powers is that Russia will refuse
England’s demand, and that on account ol
the presence of the British fleet in the Se:.
of Marmora and the disposition of the Turk
ish troops about Constantinople, a collisioi]
may result. If this is avoided, however, war
may be averted, and after a long period ol
suspense another proposal for a conference
of the powers will be made.
Interest in Europe ia being centred on the
future position of Austria. It is generally
believed that while Austria is not satisfied
with the treaty, still she does not support
England’s demand in relation to the form of
submitting it to the Congress. Russia
offering every concession to Austria to pre
vent an Anglo-Austriau alliance, and it i?
believed she will be successful. Austria
evidently regards England’s demands as in
opportune, however much the Vienna C'abi
net may agree with the principle that all
the clauses of the treaty shall be open to
discussion.

Mr. Howe's Speech.
According to announcement previously
made per the Associated Press dispatch %
Senator Howe, of Wisconsin, on Mon 1 \y
last delivered before the United St *es
Senate an elaborately prepared and x-
ceedingly lengthy speech, called forth ’»y
the late trial and conviction in 'New Or-’
leans of the returning board forger An
derson. Having already published a full
synopsis of this speech, it is only
necessary just now to refer to its salient
points. * -
Had the speaker devoted himself to
overhauling Jhe farcer and adventures of
Mr. Carl Schurz—the German rebel, but
American patriot—had he discussed in
legitimate manner the policy of the ad
ministration, or dwelt upon Mr. Hayes’
:itle to his office, he would have done bis
whole duty, and no one would have had
iny reason to indulge in harsh criticism
upon his remarks. When, however, at
the sacrifice of truth, he, with true Radi
cal malevolence, goes out of his way to
ittack the Southern people and reiterate
fid and stale slanders against them, he is
guilty of one of two things—either of
willful partisan malice and mendacity
>r of being an ignoramus entirely unfit
to fill the high position of United States
Senator.
Speaking of the course of the State of
Louisiana in the trial and conviction of
Anderson, he uses the following words
"It haadared to accuse, try and convict a
member of the State Board of Returns of
ihe crime of forging the election returns
of Vernon parish for 1876,” and, while
thus insolently alluding to a sovereign
State as daring to try tin offender against
her laws, he declares that she had “per
secuted a man guiltless of the offense
illeged against him, and known to be
guiltless.”
In making these declarations Mr. Howe
evidently—let it be hoped for the credit
>f the body of which be is a member—
forgot himself. He must have forgotten
that Louisiana is a free State, and no
longer a military province, subject only
to bayonet rule and the tyranny of the
Radical party. He forgot that she ha
ja ws and courts of her own, and that she
has proven she can and will convict even
x Radical politician if he commits for
.rory and perjury within her borders.
As a free, sovereign and independent
>tate, she knows her rights, and know-
ng dares maintain them, and we only
wonder that an United States Senator,
even though he be a hitter Radical,
uld have the brazen audacity to stand
up on the floor of the Senate of the
United States and talk al>out a State's
daring to make law and justice respected.
If Mr. Howe imagines that he is living
under an Empire ora military despotism,
the sooner his constituents retire him to
private life until he finds out that we
ive in this country in a Republic and
under a constitution, the ljetter it will be
for him and themselves.
But 3Ir. Howe caps the climax of ig
nornnee, or something worse, when he
asserts that Anderson was not only guilt
less, but known to be so. To the con
trary, he was known to be guilty, and so
proven by indisputable evidence. The
red returns themselves were produced
i:i court and were positively identified,
in 1 bore damning evidences against him.
And to assert that he was guiltless sim-
ly because it was not proven that he
uimself, with his own hands, made the
alterations, when he was a member of the
ioard at whose instance they were made
til l who certified to them knowingthem
) have been changed, is to assert a sim
ple and most foolish absurdity. Mr.
Howe must, we take it, be enough of a
lawyer to know that “Qui far it per
ilium, farit per se,”
Upon the whole this labored and
much trumpeted speech of M t
Howe’s was a failure. He uttered a
gram of the wheat of truth to a bushel
;f the chaff of falsehood He either ha
followed old Dogberry’s example and
written himself down an animal remarka
fie for large ears and stentorian lungs, or
;e has proven himself to be a man utterly
gaorant of current events in the history
•f his country. Therefore he is, in any
ase, entirely unfit to occupy a seat in the
Senate of the United States.
The New York Sun thinks the day is
*?tr at hand when heat will be distribu-
ed to our city houses by means of pipes
aid under the streets, »s gas and water
ire now. That, says the Sun, is just
what Mr. Holly, of Lockport has under-
akeu to do on a very respectable settle in
hat town. From his boiler house he is
ending steam through about three miles
f underground pipes and worming the
argett hall in Lockport, a large school
milding. and forjv large dwelling houses,
The condensed steam chu fie turned into
lot water for laundry use at the pleasure
>f the housekeeper. But it is not merely
icat that is distributed through the pipes,
t is power, since he is now furnishing
he steam which runs two engines, one
I them half a mile from his boiler house,
t is safety, since the steam cao be made
nstanUy available in putting out fires; it
s comfort, since householders will be re
eased from the worry and expense of
unnices and the dirt of coal bins.
A Cckioub Cl, a Ilf—The House Com
mittee on Claims has just deckled a rather
urious case. A colored woman of Rich
mond. by the name of Sally Hardeman,
tales that by request of officers of the
Frccdmen’s Bureau she took care of poor
olored people at her house during the
ears from I860 to 1872; that she some-
imes lmd as many as a hundred a day at
ht house, and that she paid large sums
for physicians and medicines for them.
For this she asked Congress to gram uer
the sum of three thousand dollars. The
ommittee decide adversely. Tiiey say
they have no doubt the claimant was ac
tuated by the best of motives, but that if
ongress was once to open the door to
uch claims as hers, there would be no
■nd to them.
Postal Savings Banks.
There 9eems to be a determination on
the part of the present Congress to pass
a postal savings bank bill, three
prominent committees of the House
having already unanimously re
commended such a measure. The
latest bill of this nature has been
introduced by Mr. A. M. Waddell, Chair
man of the Committee on Post Offices
and Post Roads, the main object of
which is to establish a postal savings de
pository, and to aid in refunding the
national debt.
A synopsis of this measure has been
already published in these columns. It
provides for a postal savings depositor}-,
to be managed by the post office super
intendent, substantially upon the Eng
lish and Canadian plans, viz: Deposits of
any amount, from twenty-five cents to
three hundred dollars, may be received
at the designated money order offices, for
which depositors will be entitled to a
pass book credit, and also to a certificate
of deposit from the Postmaster General.
These deposits will bear three per cent,
interest, and may be withdrawn at any
time on the application of the depositor
or his legal representative.
Absolute security is guaranteed to de
positors, and no charge is made for de
posits or withdrawal, while every facility
is afforded for the convenience of deposi
tors. Depositors who desire may have
their deposits, when they reach lift}’ dol
lars, converted into 3.65 certificates or
four per cent, bonds.
The bill also provides for all the details
of management, and covers all the ground
of the other bills having in view the
popular four per cent. loan.
Regarding postal savings bank schemes
in general, there are many things to be
said both for and against them. Vnder
ordinary circumstances, all such schemes
are obnoxious in their nature, inasmuch
as they must tend towards a centraliza
tion of the government. If the founders
of the Republic showed their abhorrence
of anything specially, they certainly did
to the idea that the people of the coun
try should ever become accustomed to
looking upon the General Govern
ment in the light of a protec
tor or guardian. Their idea was
that the less we knew of, or the less we
felt the influence of the government so
much the better for the Republic. State
rights and State sovereignty fonned the
corner stone of the foundation upon
which they built, and upon which
their ideas were established, and for
this reason, and to avoid any possible
danger of a centralized or imperial gov
ernment, they taught that the people
were sovereign, the States were supreme,
and the General Government was only a
creature of the States and people, organ
ized solely for the more perfect protec
tion of each. It is manifest, therefore,
that any scheme of the nature of these
national postal savings banks would
have met with the unqualified disappro
val of the framers of our National Con
stitution.
But circumstances alter cases, and it
is the part of wisdom always to make
the best of the circumstances by which
we are surrounded. Therefore, since, as
the result of the late war, the people of
the country find themselves burdened
down with a tremendous national debt,
it is wise to make use of every legitimate
means for rendering that burden as light
as possible. This postal savings bank
bill seems to tend in such a direc
tion. It has for its object the ac
complishment of two very important
matters, both of which would prove
to be of manifest benefit. These are
(1) materially reducing the interest on
the debt, bringing it down to at least four
per cent., and (2) making it a home debt
instead of having it held, as now*, in great
degree abroad. Thus the people would
not only have to pay less taxes than at
present, but if the postal savings bank
system is successful, and the whole peo
ple of the country take advantage of it
to place their savings where they will run
no risk of loss, and eventually invest thest
savings in government bonds, tin-
vast sums which now annually have
to be sent abroad to meet the
interest on the bonds in the
hands of foreign holders, will remain
with us and will relieve financial strin
gency by being added to the volume of
our home currency. These are the main
benefits to be derived from the proposed
establishment of postal savings banks.
They are certainly important enough to
offset much pf the evil which naturally
accompanies any such “national” system.

The New York World presents some
interesting statistics in regard to the
municipal taxation which prevails in
Berlin, the capital of the German empire.
That city, December 1,1875, had a popu
lip. ion of 1)66,858, and has now probably
over a million inhabitants. The annual
budget from April 1, 1878, to March 31,
1879, has just been made up, from which
it appears that the estimates for the en
tire municipal outlay call for 42,201,596
marks, or about $9,264,181 52. Thi>
sum includes 6,517,670 marks for admin
istration of the city, leaving in round
numbers a little over 35,000,000 marks,
or $7,700,000, to be raised for local ad
ministration. The showing which some
of the larger Amercan cities make in
comparison w ith Berlin is not credit ible
to me farmer. Ne& York, for example,
raises $30,000,000 per year, or three
times the amount raised in Berlin, while
Chicago, Boston, and other of the more
populous cities in the United State?
spend much more )>er cojrita than Berlin
does.
Russia is said to count upon this coun
try for support in case she gets into war
with England. The semi-official Russian
press are already talking of “American
sympathy and good will,” and hinting
that this country could, in the event of
war, greatly aid Russia and promote our
own commerce by permitting the send'
ing out of privateers to prey upon Brit
ish commorce, as did England during
•mr own civil war. In the event of a
war, Russia will hardly realize her hopes
in this regard. In such an event it will
be the policy cf this country to remain a
neutral spectator.
The New York World says some of
the plumed chieftains of the Fenian
Brotherhood in America are skirmishing
funds out of the pockets of enthusiastic
Irishmen in order to poison England and
blow it out of the map with “small balls
that can be held in the hollow 7 of the
hand” charged with osmic acid. A mat
ter-of-fact chemist thereupon rises to say
that osnRun) is a native metallic element
practically not obtainable for commercial
purposes; that when the native ore,
osmide of irridiuin, is ignited with such
combustibles as nitre, it gives forth
osraic acid of an ipsupportably pungent
order, attacking the lungs strongly when
inhaled, inducing long continued ex
pectoration and a feeling of burning in
the eyes. It renders the atmosphere im
pregnated w'ith it unbearable, but is not
such a sudden and deadly poison as it is
jepresented to be, nor does it explode.
As the gold premium begins to show
symptoms of another decAint, it is proba
ble either that the demand for United
States bonds for home investment is fall
ing off, or that Europe has refused to re
turn &oy core of our bonds. Either of
events would cause a decrease of
the demand for gold, and, the pressure
of that demand being lessened or re
moved, the gold 'premium would inevi
tably decline.
By Cable to the Morning Seics.
London, March 26.—The official list
furnished by the Admiralty shows
that the officers and crew of the
Eurydice numbered two hundred and
ninety. There were also from twenty
to t hirty passengers, composed of invalid
officers or those whose time bad expired.
The Time*' Berlin correspondent says: “If
the Congress does not meet, Germany will
revert to her former position of a friendly
looker on.”
The correspondent of the Daily Tdeyr*ph,
at Vienna, says: “It Is confirmed that Rus
sia has not yet sent a final answer to Eng
land. The answer is delayed pending the
efforts which Russia is making, with the ap
proval of Germany, to wean Austria from
her last idea of an English alliance. Mon-
tag's fteinew declares that if England
does not attend the Congress, the three
empires must come to an understanding
on Russian demands. If England then
considers it necessary to secure her interests
in the Mediterranean, she will discover that
the freedom of seas 4?, as Prince Bismarck
recently declared, essentially a German in
terest.” The correspondent has good reason
to assert that the foregoing expresses the
views of Prince Bismarck.
The final answer from St. Petersburg to
England’s question whetner the entire treaty
of San Stefano will be submitted to the Con
gress is anxiously awaited.
The Tims* leading editorial expresses the
opinion that more prudent Russian states
men, even the Czar himself, ought to be
ready to smooth the way for the assemblage
of the Congress. “The contention of our
governmentsays the Timex, “is justified
in substance by Europe, and though the re
maining objection is not one which ought to
be fatal, It is by Russia, rather than by us,
that the objection ought in strict justice to
be removed.”
The preponderating opinion at the capi
tals of the great powers seems to be
that Russia will refuse, and that this will
render the situation very critical in conse
quence of the presence of the British fleet
in the Sea of Marmora and the po
sition of the Russians about Constan
tinople, but that if no unforeseen inci
dent or complication arises from these
circumstances war may be avoided, and after
a period of suspense, damaging to all the
powers, a fresh proposal for a conference or
congress will be brought forward under dif
ferent forms, with hope of success.
The position of Austria is a source of
much anxious curiosity. Semi-official or
gans have declared the treaty of San Stefano
utterly unacceptable, but the fact is equally
certain that Austria does not support Eng
land's demand concerning the form of its
submission to the Congress. Various ex
planations of the latter feature of Austria's
policy are given.
The Daily Telegraph's Vienna correspon
dent says flatly that a reconstitution of the
triple alliance is preparing for the purpose of
opposing the British policy. To this end, says
the correspondent, Russia is offering Austria
every concession, and he believes that the
negotiations will undoubtedly succeed.
From other advices this seems an exagger
ated pro-Russian view. Austria's objections
arc to the whole treaty of San Stefano,
so Russian concession on that head could
hardly go far enough to satisfy her. The
fact that General Ignatieff is going to Vien
na would indicate that the negotiation is
not progressing as the Daily Telegraph's
correspondent believes, but would confirm
his estimate of its importance.
The well informed and usually impartial
Vienna correspondent of the Times explains
the situation with more probability, as fol
lows: “The greatest stress is here laid on
the meeting of the Congress, and it is the
first step towards restoring the European
character of the Eastern question. The
raising by England of the question
of the competence of the Congress
could not therefore be looked
upon as opportune, however much
the Vienna Cabinet agreed in the principle
that all clauses of the treaty should be open
to discussion and settlement. This point,
should it be contested, was, in the opinion
cf this government, far more likely to suc
ceed in the Congress than out of it. Once
the question was raised, however, Austria
naturally would become as much bound and
interested as any other government to see it
settled without prejudice to the powers of
the Congress, and, according to the view
taken here, the communication of the treaty
and the admission by Russia that ever} - arti
cle of it. may be made the subject of dis
cussion at the conference, have settled
the question as it is required to be.
The whole proceedings on the part
of Russia might have perhaps been
more considerate towards England, and the
form in which the answers were given less
studied. But this government seems to be
of the opinion that the differences remaining
between England and Russia are those of
form rather than of principle, and ought not
to be a bar to tlje meeting of the Congress. ”
Sir Henry Elliot, the British Ambassador
here, had a long interview with Count An-
drassy on Sunda3 - by appointment, and in
all probability for an exchange of ideas on
this subject of paramount importance. The
foregoing is probably a frank explanation of
the present situation, but there is no doubt
that Russia is making a strong effort to
avert the possibility of an Anglo-Austrian
alliance before giving England a final an
swer.
New York, March 26.—Letters from India

A Washington dispatch states that
Secretary- Evarts has ordered an in
vestigation into the cause of the sudden
death of Congressman Leonard recently
at lla'^u It was claimed that be died
of yellow fever; but yellow fever did not
exist there at the time. There was no
other case. It is surmised that he was
poisoned.
The Bishop of Nfelbourne writes a long
letter to the Melbourne papers defending
theatrical amusements. He says: “It is
sometimes asked, for iqstance, whether
St. Paul would have shown himself at a
theatre. No, certainly not at heathen
theatres, where the performances were
usually connected with heathen worship.
But if the question be whether he would
have attended a well conducted theatre
in a Christian land, to witness a high-
toned performance, then it might as well
be asked whether St. Paul would have
attended a cricket match, a chess tour
nament, or a spelling bee. In his cir
cumstances it is very unlikely that he
would; but it is equally certain that he
wotlld have called none of them unlawful.
Amusement is necessary for young peo
ple, and it would he usually unreason
able to forbid our boys to play at cncKet
and to require grave divines either to
join their sport or condemn it. The
Bishop desires “todosemethihg to make
the drama what it should be—»the hand
maid of religion and morality.”

The row in the New York lionueog
athic camp has not yet been quieted.
The liberals and the strict construction
ists are arming for a renewal of the fray.
The point at issue is whether the entire
practice of a homoeopathic physician
must be conducted in strict conformity
ith the words of the constitution, on
the principle of ‘ ‘like cures like.' Those
ho think that the whole practice of
medicine is not necessarily founded on
this one principle, and that mechanical
means must sometimes be used to coun
teract mechanical effects and chemical
means to counteract chemical effects,
ave gained two victories, but are now
apparently defeated, the twice adopted
resolutions expressing their views having
been rescinded. The liberals claim that
they are true homoeopaths, and do not
think it is a proper view of the princi
ples of that belief which would place
the removal of a sliver from the flesh,
in case of accident, outside of homoeo
pathic practice.
Buell telegraphs from Washington
that the real struggle over the Texas Pa
cific Railroad bill has fairly begun. He
says, by a close canvass, there are about
eighty members of the House and four
teen Senators certain to vote against it,
while the remainder of l>oth branches are
uncertain. It will require, at the least
calculation, thirty Senators and one hun
dred and twenty members to pass the
bill.
