The Eastern Question and
the War.
Chicago. April 18, 1877-
To the EdiUir of the Inter Ocean:
Such of us in have hot time at our com
mand lo fully read up and keep pace With the
causes and history of the seeming impend
ing war In Eurojte As the news appears from
day today in the Inter Ocean would still
like to be tnad“ acquainted with the lay of
the land.' In other words, would like a
short and plain account of the causes
will produce the war, and what Russia
wants, aud what Turkey wants, and why it
would draw in other European powers. Not
one laboring or busy ruan in three, in this
country, knew the causes and results of th*
late-Franco-German war. Cant the Inter
'©cean set us all right in this war, that we
may intelligently wgteh its progress and
greatly -oblige 'Jjboo«&k»s]
Thv <arase<? of th«! trouble between
Russia and Turkey are remote, and
Die complications leading to exiiiting
difficulties can not be easily under
stood without a ck*e study of the po
litieal history of modern Europe. Pri
fi,a' V ly £ f a n.ature,
flow geiieialized as the eastern ques
tion gradually became a pomicSl |>rob
lem involving the existence of some
nations, the commercial supremacy of
ot hers, and the success or defeat of
distinctive national politics.
The Christian church vr.is tor many
centuries a united body, with pow
er centering at Rome. When Con
stawtinc made Constantinople the
capital of the Roman empire the bi>h
op of the new capital became the ri
val of the Roman Pontiff, and aspired
to the exclntove dominion over the
church. This le-I to a bitter quarrel,
and fiualjy to separation between the
eastr&nd the west between the Greeks
and Latins, Constantinople reman
ed the actual capital ot the Roman
empire and head of the eastern or.
Greek church, while Rome was the
head of the Latin or : >oman Catholic
olmrdk.
The western portion of the empire
was overrun by the northern barbari
ans, and seveial kingdoms were foun
ded on the i«7«s. Charlemagne uni
ted these in one empire, ot which
France was the head, with recogni
tion ot Rome as the head ot the west
ern church. Ail this time the eastern
or Greek empire had been in exis
tence, with Constantinople as the
head of the church and the seat of
government. The west was hostile
to the east, and c'.urch and national
politics were shaped on this basis.—
The crusaders ot the west even went
so tar as to turn aside from their at
tempts to recover Jerusalem from the
Turks to capture and pillage Constan
tiuople, the capital of the “Christians
ot the east.
This blow was a serious one, and
lrom it dates the dediue ot the east
ern or Greek empire. The empire
and the church went down with the
capture of Constantinople by the
Turks in 1453. The Turkish policy
was to trample out the religion of the
east, as well as the political spirit, and
centuries of cruel struggle ensued
The Christians of the northern sec
tions found a triend in young Russia.
That nation adopted from the first
the Greek faith and worship, and be
<eame its champion. The struggling
nations ot the eastdamed naturally to
her, and as she rose rapidly in power.
She inherited the quarrel with the
Catholic powers ot the west and all
her people luted t:.e Turk. Her naf>
ural policy was relentlessly aggressive.
Her arm was to rej>o ; sess the coun
tries of the eastern empire, and, above
all, to recapture Constantinople. That
city was to the Russian the Ipcdv city,
and, in rdunding out the boundaries
of his empire, he in the earlier stages
of the struggle, never lost sight of the
purpose to regain the old

CARROLLTON, GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING. MAY 4, 1877.
The war of 182 H-29 grew out of her
interference in behalf of the Greeks in
their struggle for liberty a few years
before. She undertook this war how
ever, under pledges to Great Britaiu
and France that it should not be a war
ot conquest. It Russia absorbed Tuik
lsh territory, gaining aosolute control
ot the Black sea, and valuable ports on
the Mediterranean, the commercial in
lerest of the western nations would
suffer, and on this ground the Turk
was better than the Russian Rus
sia made peace when she had virtual
ly conquered Turkey, and this was
‘in the interest of Europe.' Russia
was contented with treaty stipulations
looking to the protection of the Chris
tians.
Kinglake contends that the origin
of the Crimean war in 1853 was a
quarrel between the Greek and Latin
churches as to privileges at Jerusalem.
Tuikey, influenced by Louis Napole
on, favored the Roman church, and
the complications led to irritation and
irritation led to war. Russia taking
up the old quarrel ot the Greek
church, and claiming that existing
treaties had been violated, invaded
Turkey. Great Britain and Fiance
formed an alliance with Turkey, and
Russia was compelled to make peace
on their terms.
While Russia made war in the
name of persecuted Christians, Eng
land and France made' war not so
much in the interest of the Turk as
in the interest ot western Europe.—
Their scheme, in the event of dis
memberment of Turkey, was to form
an independent nation of the Chris
tian provinces of Turkey, and thus re
move the cause of Russian irritation.
Russian influence was met on its own
ground and counteracted. The result
of the defeat at. Sevastopol was the
treaty ot Paris, in which the eastern
question was taken out of her hands
and committed to the great powers of
Europe. All troubles as to the Chris
tians in Turkey were to be considered
is* common, and no one nation was to
act independently except under given
circumstances. The Black sea was
opened to the fleets of all nations, no
war vessels of Russia and Turkey
were allowed in its waters. Russia
was’to disarm, and the fortifications
on the Black sea. coast were to be
di.-maniled. The Christian provin
ces ot Wallachia and Moldavia, lying
between Austria and Turkey, were
formed into the independent princi
pality of Ron mania, and placed under
the guardianship of Europe.
111 1870, when France was power
less and England embarrassed. Russia
receded from certain provisions of the
treaty of Paris and placed a war
fleet on the Black sea. She began
the work of putting her army on a
war tooting, and under various pre
tences, made ready for the coining
struggle.
The Herzegovina insurrection of
two years ago was the rebellion ot
the Christians of that province against
Turkish taxation and persecution—
And as Servia was a creation ot the
treaty, ot Paris (made semi-indepen
dent under the rule of the native pnu
ces and placed under the protection
ot the European powers, although
tributary to Tuikey), all Europe be
came incidentally interested. Euro
pean interference compelled a truce,
and negotiations were commenced
looking to permanent peace. Russia
secretly assisted Servia in the strug
gle against Turkey, and demanded
that the great powers should inter 0
lere in behalf ot the-Christian provin
ces-in the northert part. Certain re
forms were demanded, and these met
the approval of England, France,
Germany, and Austria. Turkey adopt
ed anew constitution and announced
her intention to carry out reforms her
self. Russia held that this was a
mere promise, and demanded that
certain plaits should be followed
Turkey rejected all plans and denied
the right of any power to interfere,
Russia proposed the protocol, pub
lished some days since, suggesting
a basis of peace. The great powers
signed this, but Turkey rejected it,
and, rejecting it, denied the right of
Europe to manage the eastern quess
tion or to dictate any policy to the
Turkish government. Russia, hold
ing herself warranted in such action,
propose to enforce the demands for
reform made by herself. This leaves
other ,poiwuHs £uee*o act, by the terms
ot &be agseei»es»t or protocol, as they
doeai best* While Turkey clings to
the treaty of Paris, .he other powers
hold that she has practically ignored
it.
As to the present attitude of the na
tions little can be said with -certainty.
The Anoieut Turkish policy was to
virtually enslave the ChristfcMH
conquered. It raeaot neither tolera
tion nor consideration. The interfer
ence of Russia arid other natious has
secured a modification of this policy,
and now Tuikey expresses a willing
ness to carry on all needed refotms.—
Her position is that she will do her
self all that is asked, but she will not
allow either Russia or Europe to su
perintend it.
Montenegro has been for two cen
turies a bone of contention. The
Turks claimed it as part of the Otto
man empire, but the Montenegrins
resented eveiy attempt to subdue
them, and as early as the beginning
of the eighteenth century asked the
aid ot Russia. For many years Mop •
tenegro has been a semi-independent
State under the protection of Russia.
And whenever there has been a re
bellion or insurrecion in the Chris
tian provinces of turkey, with or with
out the encouragement ot Bussia, has
plunged into the conflict. She was
fighting in 1861, aud she joined Ser
via in the late war with Turkey, and
it is to be noticed that while the Ser
vians were defeated the Montenegrins
were not. The question ot peace with
Montenegro is now one ot the ele
ments contributing to preseut compli
cations.
Austria, lying to the north of Tur
key, must shape her policy so as to
not endanger Hungary and the part
of Poland in her dominions. The
Poles and Hungarians are anti-Rus
sian in feeling, and bitterly so. Some
years ago an alliance was formed be
tween Russia, and Germany, but
whether this had any bearing on the
eastern question is not Known. While
Austria is interested 111 maintaining a
j a friendly attitude toward Russia, her
interest as they appear ou the surface
will not permit her to join with Rus
sia in a war against Turkey.
Germany occupies an independent
position, and is interested'iin maintain
ing her supremacy in Europe. Her
attitude is friendly to Russia. France
has declared that she will remain neu
tral, England is interested iu keep
ing Russia as she is or in crippling
her pow r er,'and if involved in war
will throw her influence against
the nation whose ascendency she
fears.
One scheme has been to form the
Christian provinces ot Turkey, north
of the Balkan mountains, into an in
pendent nation. But, as the mem
bers of tjie Greek church are to the
Roman Catholics as ten to one, the
independent nation would be la sym
pathy with Russia, and Austria would
not. tolerate such a nation on her
southern borders.
Tke Anglo-French alliance of
1854 wss too strong to allow intefer
ence on the part of otSser nations. If
there is now a secret alliance between
Russia, Germany and Austria, it is
too stwing for the other powers ot
Europe. If these three nations ’agree
on a settlement ot the 'ea.'ftern ques
tion, it will be on their programme.—
If there is such an understanding, it
will fo**x*nse apparent *until Russia
has invaded Turkey, and Great
Britain is compelled to show her
hand.
As it is almost impossible for a na
tion engaged in war to conßne itself
to a stipulated plan, innumerable pre
texts for interference present them
selves. Hence, although B-ussia and
Turkey may be the only contestants
for a time, there is possibility ot a gen«*
cral war. As it is.,the Russian peo
ple, rather than the government, who
demands war, so it is the Turks, rath
er than the Sultan, who defy Russia.
On the one hand, Russia wages war in
the-watue of persecuted people, and
on the other Turkey struggles for na
tional existence.
How People get Sick. *
Eating too much and two fast; swai
lowing imperfectly masticated food;
hv taking too much fluid at meals;
drinking poisonous whisky and other
intoxicaung drinks; keeping late hours
at night and sleeping late in the morn
mg, wearing clothing too tight, so as
to retard the circulation; wearing thin
shoes, neglecting to take sufficient ex-*
ercise to keep the ban is and feet
warrti; neglecting to wash the body
sufficiently to keep the porca qpen;
exchamng the warm clothes worn in
a warm room during the day for cos
tumes and exposure incident to even
ing parties; starving tbe stomach to
gratify a vain and foolish passion for
dress, keeping up constant excitemnt;
fretting the mind with borrowed
troubles; swallowing -quack nostrums
ter every imaginary ill; taking meals
at irregular inter rail.
The Remedy’ for Hard
Times.
We have seen it stated in some of
our exchanges that the knitting es
tablishment of Mrs. C. W. Mabry, ot
La Grange, Ga., has received an order
from Philadelphia tor some ol her ex
cellent hosiery, and we learn from a
private letter written by Mrs. Mabry
to a lady in our city, that she is also
engaged in the manufacture of hornery
in compliance with order* received
from California and Mississippi. These
tacts suggests the remedy for hard
times in the South. It ia a step to
wards real independence, and one
which we fondly hope is but the fore
runner of many similar ones, -which
must inevitably result in the complete
disinthrallment of the South from its
financial and commercial slavery to
the North. A continuation by the
South to furnish the raw material for
the North, and buying back the man
ufactured article, will ever keep us
slaves and dependents. With a cli
mate and soil producing eveiy neces
sity and almost all the luxurits ot the
world; and an earth teemiug with all
the minerals necessary for manufactu
ring purposes, we’lag behind the prog
ress of the age and exhaust our soil,
our resources and ourselves, iu order
to enrich ‘the manufacturer of the
North, whose machinery is brought
into competition with,Southern mus
cle, and of course wins in the race for
wealth and prosperity. Statistics show
that the productive capacity ot each
person of Massachusetts is some four
or five times greater than that of ti ose
in Georgia, and it needs but little
mathematical knowledge to infer that
a Massachusetts man. or woman, or
child can, under existing circumstan
ces, have a large surplus to spend
over the amount actually possessed
by the average Georgian, as the toi -
met* will have reaped, by the aid of
his skill and machines, an amount
three or four times in excess ot the
amount procured by the latter.
The only remedy for this dependent
condition ot the South is to be found
in the establishment ot manufactories,
the encouragement ol immigration
and active employment of skilled la
bor. No country on the globe pre
sents such natural advantages of cli'
mate, soil, mineral resources and veg
atable production as does the South,
and we hail with pleasure even the
feeblest efforts which are made in the
way ot home manufacture. Give us a
denser population, and a diversity ot
pursuits and consequent wealth must
follow as 3 necessity.
The South is to-day paying double
her proportion *©f the revenue taxes,
when the wealth of other sections are
taken into consideration, and she will
continue to do so as long as she
reaps no benefit ot the protective
tariffs which have enriched the
North.

The Convention.
If a convention is not called this
year the advocates of the movement
need not expect a revision of our state
constitution during the next quarter,
or perhaps, half a century. Those
opposed will cite this years de
feat as a decided objection on the part
of the people against all constitutional
changes either by the Legislature or
by a convention A more propitious
time for remedying existing constitu
tional defects will never be presented .
We are poor, are laboring, groaning,
struggling under heavy burdens aris
ing from oppressive taxes and foolish
railroad appropriations, known as
state aid. A constitution framed now
would look to the removing of these
burdens, and would, also, be adapted
to our circumst'an ;es in times of pros-*
perky. Tiie present constiluiion. was
made when we were poorer than ever
betore, yet it fixes the salaries of offi
core thirty per cent higher than they
were in our most prosperous days be
fore the war. The Legislature, as
shown by the experience of the past
three years, cannot make the needful
changes. Its machinery is too cum ;
brous.' To prevent sudden changes
all constitutions make revisions of the
organic law difficult. Hence, when
important changes are to be made, the
necessity of a convention. If our peo
ple desire relief from heavy taxes and
prefer lower salaries and fewer office
holders, let them rote tor a conven
tion, and place in nomination their
best, and most experienced men for
its members. Let im rally together on
this platform and agree to ignore ini
noi* issues and a convention we will
have whose action will benefit al.
classes. Let all think on these things.

Home Re&ding.
One of the most pleasant aod nobWst
duties ot the family is to furnish its
members with good reading. In times
which are past it was considered
enough to clothe and feed and shelter
a family. This was the sum ot pa
rental duty. But lately it has been
found out that wives and children
have minds, so that it beccmes a ne
cessity to educate the children and
furnish reading for the whole house
! hrohi. It has been found out that the
mind wants food as well as the body,
! and that it wants lo be sheltered from
the pitiless storm of error and vice by
the guardian and friendly root ot in
telligence and virtue. An ignorwst
family in our day is an antiquated in
stitution. It smells ot the musty past.
It is a dark spot which the light ot
the modern sun ot intelligence has
not reached- Let good reading go
into a home, and the very atmosphere
ot that home gradually changes. The
boys begin to grow ambitious, to talk
about men, places, principles, books,
the past and future. The girls begin
to feel anew life opening before them,
in knowledge, duty and love. They
see new fields of usefulness and please
ure. And so the family changes, and
out from its number go honorable
members ot society. Let the torch of
intelligence be lit in every household.
Let the old and young vie with each
other in introducing new and useful
topics of investigation, and in cher
ishing a love of reading, study and
improvement.

A Noble Example.
We were much pleased to read in
the news some days ago, that Gen.
Gordon had never sworn an oath.—
Does not this gild with new lustre
the bright chaplet of fame that lie lias
won for himself, as a wairior aud
statesman ?
Doubtless through youth and man<«
hood, he had his full share in the
cares and ills of life, yet neither the
giddy, thoughtless associates of youth,
nor the petty vexations often eudured,
could decoy or beguile him into this
odious habit. Asa soldier and states
man, professions so often fatal to mor
ality and religion, whose career has
been more active, more stirring or
more arduous ? Still he has not found
it necessary to swear. Who does not
honor him the more for this? We
want our boys and young men to re
member this and imitate the noble ex
ample, and we would be glad for S. S.
teachers throughout the laud to tell
the fact to their classes. Quite recent
ly we saw another distinguished
statesman of Georgia, one the State in
other days delighted to honor, and
whose towering intellect eminently
fits him for any position m the gift ot
the people, we saw this man in easy
conversation, without cause, belching
out horrid oaths continuously, aud as
we thought with the awkardness ot
an unpromising youth making his <fe
but upon the stage of profanity.—
Strange indeed that this statesman,
now m the sere and yellow leaf, should
so cheaply debauch himself and lend
the influence of his potent example to

Advantage of Crying.
A French physician is out in a long
dissertation on the advantages of cry
ing and groaning in general, and ess
pecially during surgical operations.—
He contends that groaning and cry
ing arc two grand operations by which
nature allays anguish; that those pa
tients who give way to their natural
feelings more speedily recover from
accidents and operations than those
who suppose it unworthy a man to
betray such symptoms of cowardice
as either to groan and cry.
He MU of a man who reduced his
pulse from one hundred and twenty- i
six to sixty in the course of a few
hours by giving full vent to his emo
tions. If people aro at all unhappy
about anything let them go into their
rooms and comfort themselves with a
loud boo boo, and they wiU feel a linn
died per cent better afterward.
’ Vi gr
I« accordance with the above,
the eryiuc of children should not be
too greatly discouraged. If it is sys.
Vmatically repressed the result may
be St Vitus' dance, epileptic fits, or
some other disease of the nervous sys«*
tern. What is natural is nearly al
ways useful, and nothing can be more
natural than the crying of children
when anything occurs to give them
either physical or menu! paiu.
