Beast Butler denounces Mr.
Hayes’ Southern policy because he
does not believe the Radical party
can be built up in the South by its
means. Whereupon the Charleston
Journal of Commerce pertinently
suggests that Butler need not be so
over solicitous regarding the Repub
lican party in the South, for inasmuch
as there are not many silver spoons
left in that region, the mission of But

point, pretty well ended.

the 10th of January next. After that
the measure M ill be gone through
with again, and be ready to be report

a better system of collection and pro

Dr. Griffin, of Pascagoula, in

port of Pascagoula M’ithout loads.
This is oM'ing to Judge Hill having
“gone back” on his former decision,
and allowing the United States Mar
shals to sieze logs M'liich he had once
ordered released. Such action on the
part of the government, thus putting
an embargo upon commerce and in
terfering M’ith important interests,
on which a M'hole section of a State
is dependent, is oppressive and tyran
nical.
THEBE'S HUMIC IN THE AIR.
We hear it all around. It means a

attack Mr. Hayes and they will in

ness of aiding in putting a man M'ho
M’as not elected in the White House.
Mr. Bill Chandler comes to the front
again and says the Florida election
Mas as fair as that of Massachusetts.
The Supreme Court of Florida did
not think so. A Democratic Gov
ernor and Legislature noM' rule the
State. They do not think so. A
visiting statesman, a NeM- Hampshire
man and a bitter Republican, with
the hoj»e of being reM'arded with a
big office, is about the only man who
«ays Florida M'ent for Hayes. Op
posed to his l»elief is a Democratic
Governor and Legislature, the Supe
rior and Supreme Courts of the State
and the concurrent testimony of
every honorable man in Florida.
There they all are against Mr. W. E.
Chandler. It is a matter of record.
To add to the proof, dc facto Secreta
ry of the Treasury Sherman alleges
that Chandler in every particular
falsifies regarding himself. Who is
the country to believe? Can there
be a doubt as to the trustMorthiness
of Bill Chandler?
The Earl of Carnarvon, the Pro-
Grand Master of the English Free
masons, a few days ago, at a very
large meeting of Grand Lodge mem
bers M r ho represent the 1,700 lodges
“working” under the English consti
tution, called attention to the recent
action of the Grand Orient of France,
M'ho had struck out from their pre
liminary declaration words express
ing belief in the existence of God and
in the immortality of the soul. There
had been much debate upon this
point in France itself, ami seventy-
six lodges had protested against the
change. The Irish Grand Lodge had
not hesitated to pass a resolution, un
compromisingly draM-n, regretting
the act of the French Orient, and
dealing with it. In ordinary cases
the Grand Lodge would have no right
to interfere, but this Mas a matter
which called for notice, as the French
Grand Orient could not effect these
changes without affecting the M'hole
Masonic body throughout the world.
The limits of Freemasonry M'ere very
M'ide, and included Roman Catholics,
Protestants—Church of England and
Dissenters—the Mussulmans, the
Calvinists, Lutherans, and JeM r s, and
the M'hole M'ere bound by the princi
ples of religion, and there could be
no such principle M'ithout belief in
God. The Prince of Wales M'as unan

A Kentucky preacher rose to
speak, and opened the Bible. The
first verse that met his eye happened
to be, “The voice of the turtle shall

said he, “at first sight one would not
think there M'as much in this text,
but, on a little consideration, you
will see there is a great deal in it.
Nom', you all know M'hat a turtle is.
If you’ve been along by a pond, you
have seen them on a log sunning
themselves. Now, it is said, ‘The
voice of the turtle shall be heard
through the land; but the
turtle hasn’t any voice, that
anybody ever heard; so it must
be the noise he makes in plunging
off the log into the M'ater. Hence,
M’e conclude that immersion ismeant,
and that immersion will become uni
versal.”

A mortgage deed, or deed of trust,
has been filed on the 17th of Decem
ber, in the Chancery Clerk’s office of
this, Lauderdale county, to be put
upon record, for the purpose of secur
ing a loan of money to repair and
equip M’hat M’as the A & C. Railroad.
It appears from this deed that a neM r
company has been organized, and the
road has been given a neM' name—
Alabama Great Southern Railroad—
with Augustus Abraham, President,
and R. V. Tomlinson, Secretary, both
of London. This reoganization has
been accomplished through the agency
of M r. Jno. SM'an.M’ho bought the roail

bondholders. The deed is made to the
Farmers’ Loan and Trust Company
of NeM' York, conveying the road and
all its appurtenances and franchises, in
trust to secure the loan of $1,750,000,
secured by the Company’s bonds
of the denomination of $1,000, payable
thirty years from date, bearing six

DANIEL WEBSTER.
An Axnlotr Biography of the Numb*
eh u Belt a Statesman—A Volume of
Very Interesting Remlulseenee*.
From the Boston Advertiser.]
The volume of reminiscences of
Daniel Webster by his intimate and
cherished friend Peter Harvey,M’hich
has been anticipated long, is noM r pub
lished. Peter Harvey himself Mas
lately gathered to the tomb, and his
last M’eeks M’ere spent in finishing for
publication these records of a friend
ship M’hich was the choicest experi
ence of his life. In the preface he
acknoM’ledges M’ith gratitude the as
sistance rendered during his hours of
physical weakness by Mr. George M.
Towle, by whom the material M’as in
large measure put in shape tor publi
cation.
The octavo volume of 480 pages is a
work of extraordinary interest. It
may be called appropriately an anec
dote biography of Daniel Webster.
To any life that has been written, or
that may lie written, of the illustri
ous statesman this volume will hence
forward be a supplement necessary
for a complete comprehension of his
large and many-sided character. But it
ought not to lie sujiposed that this is
a history of the personal intercourse
of Mr. Webster and Mr. Harvey, tor
it is not. Neither the beginning nor
the course of that long and interest
ing relation is told. It is rather a
record of interesting incidents in Mr.
Webster’s life, which, from time to
time, he narrated to Mr. Harvey in
the freedom of confidential conversa
tion, and in this respect it is in a
sense autobiographic. It adds much
to our stock of information concern
ing Mr. Webster’s early life, his
struggles for an education and for es
tablishment in his profession, his
personal thoughts and judgments
touching men and measures, and his
own achievements during his long
public life, his home life, and his
ideas on religion. In giving these
treasures of his memory, and of notes
committed to his care by others, to
the M’orld, Mr. Harvey has done a
service to his friend and to his coun
trymen, and done it with so much
modesty, discretion and taste that the
feeling of satisfaction is undisturbed
by any shock. We read on, on, on,
every page revealing in some fresh
light the character of a great man
M’hose slightest trait is interesting,
until M-e come to that final pathetic
scene M’hen the soul of Webster took
its flight to other realms, and M’hen
M r e have finished the entertaining
and instructive story M'e close the
book M'ith a feeling of pride and
gratitude that one of the great names
of our history, M'hatever his mistakes
in public life, M as at heart such a man
as he is by this record revealed.
The volume begins M’ith a chapter
on Webster’s early life, folloM ed by a
chapter on his life as a law student.
Then folloM’ three chapters on ids ca
reer as a laM'yer, a chapter on his pub
lic life, one on his relations with his
contemporaries, one on his home life
at Marshfield and Franklin, two on
his personal traits, one on his relig
ious thoughts and feelings and one on
his last days. But there is no formal
sequence or progress in the order of
the book. It is not a connected nar
rative, but a collection of the inci
dents and anecdotes, M’hich are
grouped rather arbitrarily underthese
chapter titles. There are two por
traits, one in the rough, farmer cos
tume he is aceustomed to M’ear M'hen
striding about his farm, and one rep re.
sen ting him at the age of twenty-two-
There is also a view of the home at
Marshfield and of the library in M'hich
he worked there.
THE QUARREL WITH PINCKNEY.
It would be easy to fill a page M'ith
choice expressions from this book,
but M'e must content ourselves M'ith
one or tM'o. Mr. Webster gave Mr.
Harvey the folloM’ing account of a
quarrel M'ith William Pinckney,
M'hich, he said, M*as the nearest he
ever came “to a downright roM\”
After describing Pinckney’s position
at the bar of the Supreme Court as
one M’ho received the briefs prepared
by other laM’yers and argued their
cases for them for the lion’s share of
the fees, he continued:
I M’as a laM’yer M’ho had my living
to get, and I* felt that, although I
should not argue my cases as M ell as
he could, still if my clients employed
me, they should have the best ability
I had to give them, and I should do
the Mork myself. I did not propose
to practice laM’ in the supreme court
by proxy. I think that in some
pretty important cases I had, Mr.
Pinckney rather expected that I
should fall into the current of his ad
mirers, and divide my fees M’ith him.
This I utterly refused to do. in
some important ease (I have forgot
ten now M'hat the case Mas) Mr.
Pinckney M’as employed to argue it
against me. I M'as going to argue it
for my client myself. I had felt that,
on several occasions, his manner
was, to say the least, very annoying
and aggravating. My intercouse
M’ith him, so far as J had any, M as
always marked by great courtesy and
deference. I regarded him as the
leader of the American bar; he had
that reputation, and justly. He M as
a very great laM’yer. On the occasion
to M’hich I refer, in some colloquial
discussion upon various minor points
of the case, he treated me M’ith con
tempt. He pooh-poohed, as much as
to say it Mas not M'ortli while to ar
gue a point 1 did not knoM’ anything
about ; that I M’as no laM’yer.
I think he spoke of the “gentleman
from NeM’ Hampshire.” At any rate
it Mas a thing that everybody in the
court-house, including the judges,
could not fail to observe. Chief-Jus
tice Marshall himself M’as pained by
it. It M’as very hard for me to restrain
my temper and keep cool; but I did
so* knoM’ing in M'hat presence 1 stood.
1 think he construed my apparent
humility into a M’ant of what he
M’ould call spirit in resenting and as a
sort of acquiescence in his rule.
HoM’ever, the incident passed; the
case M’as not finished M'hen the hour
for adjournment came, and the court
adjourned until the next morning.
Mr. Pinckney took his M'hip and
gloves, threM’his cloak over his arm
and began to saunter away. I M’ent
up to him and said very calmly, “Can
I see you alone in one of "the lob
bies?” He replied, “Certainly.” I
suppose that he thought I M’as going
to beg his pardon and ask his assist
ance. We passed into one of the
ante-rooms of the Capitol. I looked
into one of the grand jury rooms,
rather remote from the main court
room. There Mas no one in it, and
M'e entered. As we did so I looked in
the door and found there M’as a key
in the lock ; and. unobserved by him
I turned the key and put it in my
pocket. Mr. Pinckney seemed to be
M’aiting M’ith some astonishment. I
advanced toward him and said : “Mr.
Pinckney, you grossly insulted me
this morning in the court room, and
not for the first time either. In
deference to your position, and
to the respect in M’hich I hold the
court, I did not ansM’er you as I was
tempted to do on the spot.” He began
to parley. I continued : “You know
you (lid; don’t add another sin to
that; don’t deny it; you knoM’ you
did it, and you know it M’as premedi
tated. It M'as deliberate ; it M’as pur
posely done; and if you deny it, you
state an untruth. Nom ,” I M’ent on,
“I am here to say to you once for all,
that you must ask my jiardon, and go
into court to-morroM’ and repeat the
apology, or else either you or I M’ill
§ o out of this room in a different con-
ition from that in which we entered
it.” I M’as never more in earnest.
He looked at me and saw that my
eyes were pretty dark and firm. He
began to say something. I interrupt
ed him. “No explanation,” said I.
“Admit the fact and take it back. I
do not want another M'ord from you,
except that. I M’ill hear no explana
tions; nothing but that you admit it
and recall it.” He trembled like an
aspen leaf. He again attempted to
explain. Said I: “There is no other
course. I have the key in my pocket,
and you must apologize, or take M’hat
I give you.” At that he humbled
doM’n, and said to me: “You are
right; I am sorry; I did intend
to bluff you; I* regret it, and
ask your * pardon.” “Enough,” I
promptly replied. “Nom-, one prom
ise before I open the door, and that
is that you M’ill to-morroM’ morning
state to the court that you have said
things which M’oundedmy feelings,
and that you regret it.” * Pinckney
replied: “I M'ill do so.” Then I un
locked the door and passed out. The
next morning when the court met
Mr. Pinckney at once rose and stated
to the court that a very unpleasant
affair occurred the morning before as
might have been observed by their
honors; that his friend, Mr. Web
ster, had felt grieved at some things
M'hich had dropped from his lips;
that his zeal for his client might
have led him to say some things,
M'hich he should not have said, and
that he M'as sorry for having thus
spoken. “From that day, M'hile at
the bar, there M’as no man,” said Mr.
Webster, “M’ho treated me M’itli so
much respect and deference as Mr.
William Pinckney.”
AN EXTRAORDINARY CURE.
Mr. Harvey gives an interesting
account of the circumstances under
which Mr. Webster purchased his
Marshfield property, ('apt. Thomas,
who OM’ned it M’as to have a home in
the house during his life. The fol
lowing story is told:
The intimacy and friendship be-
tM’een Capt. Thomas and Mr. Web
ster were peculiar. The captain,
though much Mr. Webster’s senior,
soon learned to look up to him M’ith
respect and admiration ; he made Mr.
Webster his Magnus Apollo, and at
the same time entertained for him a
sort of paternal affection. He de
ferred to Mr. Webster in all matters,
excepting in some practical rules of
farming, the nicer points of sporting,
and the habits of birds, wild-foM'l and
fish—in all M’hich matters the captain
Mas Mr. Webster’s instructor. Their
association, ahvays pleasant, greM’
into mutual affection ; and Captain
Thomas, M’ho, at Mr. Webster’s sug
gestion, subscribed for the semi-
M eekly Columbian Centinel, watched
M'ith the most intense interest Mr.
Webster’s course in the Senate as re
ported in that journal. In 1829-30 the
good captain read Haynes’ first
speech. He waited in confidence for
a triumphant reply, ft came and he
was entirely satisfied. The faithful
Centinel, however, soon brought him
Haynes’ second speech. He read it
M’ith extreme and painful interest.
It excited in him the greatest appre
hensions for the idol of his old age.
He M'as ovcTM’helined M’ith grief. His
hero, his great man, his beloved,
almost M'orshipped, friend M'as over-
throM'ii in debate by his Southern
antagonist. The kind old gentleman’s
pride M as humbled ; he M as in des
pair—his heart almost broken. Cast
ing away the papers, he rose and re
tired slowly to his room, directing
some one to come and take his boots
aM’ay, as he should never M'ant them
again. His family tried in vain to
console him. He refused to be com
forted. Like one of old he was ready
to exclaim: “Ye have taken aMay
my gods, and what have I more?”
For three days he kept his bed,
mourning over the fall of his friend,
and refusing all consolation. His
eldest son tried to persuade him that
Mr. Webster Mas able to defend the
cause |of NeM’ England, and Mould
yet have his triumph. His only re
ply M'as: “Itcan’t beansMered, Hen
ry, it can’t be answered.”
* The fatal semi-weekly Centinel
came again in due course. It M-as
evening. The family M'ere gathered
around the fire in sad apprehension.
The old man’s mind seemed almost
unhinged—they even feared for his
life. The captain still kept his bed,
and appeared to have determined to
hold to his venv and never to rise
from it. All their efforts to rouse
him had thus far proved ineffectual.
On opening the paper it M'as found to
contain Mr. Webster’s second reply
to Col. Haynes. The family resolved
at once that Henry should assume the
task of carrying it to his father and
try the effect of this medicine to
“minister to a mind diseased.” Hen
ry entered the father’s room M'ith the
paper and a candle. The old man
groaned and asked M’liat he M’anted.
Hen ry replied :
“Father, I have brought you the
Centinel; I thought you might like
to look at it.”
“No, Henry, I don’t M’ant to see
it.”
“It contains a second speech of Mr.
Webster in reply to Col. Haynes.”
“Oh, Henry,’ 5 said the old gentle
man, “it is of no use; it can’t be an-
SM’ered ; I don’t M’ant to see it.”
Henry lingered, and seemed great
ly distressed at his father’s refusal.
At last Captain Thomas consented to
have the paper and candle left, and
said that perhaps he would look at it
Henry M’ent doM’n stairs and reported
the apparently unsuccessful result of
his mission; and tlx* little family
dreM’ closely around their M'inter fire
more gloomily than before. Some
time had thus elapsed M'hen they
M'ere all suddenly startled by a tre
mendous shout from their father’s
room. They all rushed up stairs to
see M'hat happened. The captain M’as
sitting on the side of the bed, M'ith
the paper in one hand and the candle
in the other. As Henry entered the
captain roared out:
“Bring me my boots, Henry! Bring
me my boots!”
('apt. Thomas’ recovery Mas so
complete that he never again suffered
a relapse of that mental complaint.
PRIDE OF ANCESTRY.
One day in 1840 he Mas travelling
M’ith his son Fletcher, M’ho observed
that he Mas in a thoughtful, silent
mood. “What is the matter, father?”
asked Fletcher, “are you not M ell ?”
“Yes, olives! But I M’as thinking,
Fletcher, of an old man, upwards of
eighty years of age, M'hom I met in
New Hampshire the other day. He
told me some interesting incidents
about your grandfather. He said
that he M'as one of the company of
minute-men that Capt. Webster com
manded. He spoke of their being on
Dorchester heights at the time Gen.
Washington had his camp there. A
detachment of my father’s company
Mas delegated to guard duty around
Washington’s tent. The M’eather
was frosty, and this old man was one
day walking to and fro before the
tent, M'hen the side opened, and the
tall figure of Washington appeared
before him. He looked up at tiie
sky, and then, turning, said to the
sentry:
“ ‘Soldier, who is the commander
of your company?” ’
“Capt. Webster, of the NeM Hamp
shire minute-men.’
“‘When you are relieved from
guard,’ returned Washington, ‘say to
Capt. Webster I should like to seehim
at my tent early in the morning.’
“The sentry delivered the message,
and my father aftenvards told him
M'hat "Washington had said. He
M’islied to consult him as to the feel
ing in NeM’ Hampshire ; asked him
about the patriotic sentiment among
his neighbors—whether they had
counted the cost of resistance to the
British, and M’ere ready to throM’
aM’ay the scabbard and spend and be
spent in the cause. Washington
talked an hour with the captain,
offered him refreshments, and M’hen
he retired shook him M'armlv by the
hand. Fletcher,” added Mr. Web
ster, “I should rather have it said
upon my father’s tombstone that he
had guarded the person of George
Washington, and M’as worthy of such
a trust, than to have emidazoned
upon it the proudest insignia of
heraldry that the M’orld could give.”
AN ESCAPE.
Some time during the year 1842,
he, M’ith Peterson, his faithful friend
and constant attendant, and Hatch
M’ere at sea in his little yacht Comet.
They Mere some mile's from shore
and lay at anchor, fishing. The
sport M’as good, and all were busy
stoM’ing in the cod and haddock,
M’hen a sail M'as descried bearing
doM’n on them from the northM'ard.
Mr. Webster scrutinized it awhile
through his pocket-glass, and, not
recognizing it, said to Peterson :
“Commodore, you knoM’ the cut of
the jib’ of every boat or vesssl that is
commonly seen in these M'aters.
Take my glass and tell me M'hat craft
that is yonder.”
Peterson looked and pronounced it
a strange sail. Mr. Webster then said:
“Upon which point of the wind M ill
the Comet sail fastest?”
The commodore then replied,
“About half free.”
“Where M’ill that take us as the
M’imlis now?" said Mr. Webster.
“To Provincetown,” M'as the reply.
“Weigh anchor then,” said Mr.
Webster, “and put her under full
sail, That stranger is an office-seeker,
ami M e M ill give him a wide berth.”
AM ay scudded the Comet to Prince-
tOM'n; the breeze was fresh and Peter
son M’as at the helm. After an hour’s
sail the stranger craft M'as “hull
doM-n.” Taking a long breath, grate
ful for his escape, Mr. Webster an
chored again and resumed his fish
ing. On his return home at even
ing he learned that his suspicions
respecting the character of the
strange sail were correct.

BILL CHANDLER.
lie Talks Koine More—Villainy on Its
Faee.
Washington, December 21). — A
Boston special says W. E. Chandler
M'as in town yesterday, and talked
freely in relation to his recent letter
referred to in the statement that his
letter did not contain proof of serious
imputations against the President as
to a bargain with the South, by
M'hieli he stepped into office. Mr.
Chandler said he thought lie had
M'rote very plain and direct state
ments indeed, and he felt no doubt
M'hatever that unless answered they
would carry conviction whenever
they M'ere candidly considered.
His attention being called to a pub
lished statement that if he chose to
reveal what he knew concerning the
count in Florida, Mr. Hayes Mould
forfeit his seat, Mr. Chandler said that
that statement M'as entirely M'ithout
authority. The vote in Florida, lie
said, M’as just as fairly east for Hayes
as Mas that of Massachusetts, only by
a smaller majority. It Mas mcII
known, he said, that lie M'as a resi
dent in Florida at the time, and
knows whereof lie speaks.
Referring to other suggestions
thrown out that he M as keeping a
good deal in reserve, he said: “I do
not suppose for a moment that I have
exhausted all the information I may
have acquired in the courseof a life in
this letter, but I have put forth, so far
as I thought necessary,the M’hole truth
in the matter referred to—at least all
that Mas called for by this occasion."
A NEW*"BISHOP.
Docs He Accept or Decline?
N em' York, December 29.—The

Rev. George F. Seymour to the ofli-

election to the Episcopal diocese of
Springfield, Illinois. Rev. Mr.
Seymour says, the fact that the elec

decline hastily and without deep
searchings of heart and patient M int
ing for divine guidance in response
to earnest, continued prayer, and
help, to be delivered from the coun
sel of friends M'ho arc qualified to say
“No,” at once. I do not see any
course open for me to persue, hut
to wait until the Church
at large, through her constituted
authorities has expressed her judg
ment, in which event 1 may be spared
the anxiety and distress of deciding
betM'een tin* claims of my present po
sition iuul the solemn call extended to
me, as I believe, under the guidance
of God, the Holy Ghost, from all the
clergy and all "the laity present in

Springfield to becomethefirst Bishop
of the neM' jurisdiction. If ever the
question conics really before me to be
determined, be assured I shall meet
it promptly in the fear of God, and as
do my best to reach the right conclu
sion, and 1 immediately M'ill apprise
you of tin* result.

of the Time, and New.-.-What the
German Preu Has to Say.
London December 29.—The Times
to-day in its leading article savs the
the Sultan has
united her Majesty’s Government to
approach the Czar M’ith a view of
bi.inging about negotiations for peace
m ill tend to calm some of the fears
M'hich have been exciting the coun-
V".v, and to hold out the hope that a
dreadful war may he brought to a
close more quickly than bv the shock
ot battle. The Sultan has taken the
only course consistent M'ith a calm
review of M'hat the war has already
done, and M’hat it must do, if it should
last much longer. The circular to
the PoM-ers showed that the
peace party of the Porte had for a
time got the upper hand. It pro
posed terms M’liich M ould, no doubt,
have been inadmissible even before
the Mar, and which M’onld not
bear discussion after the terri
ble battles of the last six
months; but the Porte did not
intend the circular to be taken as its
last word. Nom’ that all the Powers
have cautiously, but firmly, declined
to approach Russia M’ith impossible
conditions, the Sultan lias wisely
asked this country to use its good
offices to bring about negotiations for
peace. It is important that the Gov
ernment should conduct negotiations
in a spirit absolutely free from parti
sanship. We are not parties to the
present contest. As mediators our
essential duty is to convey a message
from one PoM’er M’ith * M’liich we
have no quarrel to another
PoM’er M’ith M’hich M’e have no
quarrel. We have doubtless great
interests at stake, political as m cII as
commercial, and they M ill be urged
at the proper moment, but mean-
while it is our duty toad as a friend
ly intermediary, "and not its rulers
of the Indian Empire. To take a
side with one of the two poM’ers,
M’hich M'e must bring into a contract,
M ould simply be to make our mission
useless and destroy the prospect of
peace. Our Government Mill have
to ascertain M'hetlier Russia is Milling
to open negotiations, and. what all
the conditions of peace. It M ill then
have to offer Turkey such advice as it
may deem proper, and to present her
answer. It may have to reason in an
earnest spirit with both belligerents
in order to secure a common ground.
It may be obliged to urge the Porte
oil the one band to be M’ise in time,
and Russia on the other not to de
mand such terms as Mould goad the
Turks to desperate courses, and thus
multiply the perils of Europe.
While a mediator may seem to act
as the advocate, now of one poM’er,
and now of another, the arguments
must be dictated purely by a spirit of
conciliation. No doubt the Govern
ment Mould have to consider the in
terests of England, but the presenta
tion of them Mould come in good
time, and there is not the slightest
reason to fear they will be neglected.
The Daily News says the Ottoman
Government declared its desire that
negotiatiations for peace may be
brought about on the present basis of
facts, and its professions must be ac
cepted as sincere. The public M ill
m isli^it success in its neM’ policy. It
cannot be necessary to point out that
even upon the most limited interpre
tation of the office it has assumed, the
Queen’s Government has assumed a
task of great delicacy. The present
war primarily concerns Russia and
Turkey, but the Eastern question
is one M'hich must be con
sidered by Europe. By its
present action our Government has
taken upon itself the character of an
intercessor for one unfortunate
belligerent M’hile acting also officious
ly for Europe ; but it lias to harmo
nize this neM’ character with declara
tions M'hich it has repeatedly made,
and with a M'hole course of conduct,
of M’hich the least that can be said,
is, that it has not prepared the tvorld
for the part it has iiom - undertaken to
play. On her Majesty’s ministers
may very much depend—M'hetlier
the Eastern question shall be now
settled, at least, for many years to
come, or this M ar be folloM'ed by a
mere truce, the prelude to a M ar even
greater and more disastrous than that
of M'hich M'e are now spectators. We
are bound to hope that they Mill
prove equal to their responsibilities.
GERMAN OPINION ON TAE QUESTION.
Berlin, December 29.—The North
German Gazette says if England
merely seeks to sound Russia, re
specting her willingness to make
peace, and the chances of success of a
direct application of the Porte to St.
Petersburg, credit may be awarded to
Great Britain for her" meritorious in
tentions. In any other case the theo-
rv of the Ageneee Russe that media
tion, unless solicited by both bellig
erents, becomes intervention, may
assert itself regarding intervention.
Russia, in the fulfillment ot her mis
sion, can scarcely l>c stopped even by
the cleverest moves on the political
