I. j Those of ns who took the view that Russia had been completely checkmated by England, and that she had reaHy accomplished but little by all of her vast -expenditures of lift; and treasure, were too fast. Whilst Russia has failed to get much that she demanded and expected, Bhe has not, failed by a great deal in cur tailing Turkish power for mischief Or in altering the map of Tarkey. The Ottoman kingdom will henceforth cease lo be the great European bug-a- loo. The Sick Man has been so prostrated by the long attack, and .the heroic surgery has so curtailed h is limbs, that henceforth he will bo nursed by England and watch ed over by - Europe. Russia has done a ' 'great "deal in thus di minishing if not totally destroying the power of the Turk in ; Europe. Look at Turkey as it is described on ' ail of the maps issued before the war. Take your scissors and cut off Bosnia and Herzegovina, for. these; go to Austria, and then eliminate, too,Mon tenegro, Servia ard Roumariia, and you make a prodigious aiteratiouiu the shape and dimensions of the Sick . Man. His legs, arms, and aj part of 1, hin bodj' are. thus repoved-jare lost to him forever. It is agreed that placing Bosnia and Herzegovina un der the i protection "' of Austria is equivalent to annexation. They are lost to Turkey forevermore. The other provinces or countries are made independent. Bulgaria and East Kouraelia are made partly indepen dent, but are still bound to the de . caying Turkish trunk. Such are the general results. The Philadelphia Times thus remarks upon the - out look: - ,; ' "For all ' practical purposes the over throw of the Ottoman power in Europe may be regarded as accomplished, and if that was Kussia's purpose io undertaking the war, her purpose has been fulfilled, lloumania, Servia and Montenegro are separated finally from the suzerainty of the Porte; Bulgaria, though remaining tribu tary, is to have a government of its own; Bosnia and Herzegovina are transferred to .Austrian control.- The Sultan's nower is confined to the south of the Balkans, and. mere is neageu aoout with restrictions which he may or may not regard, but which at least relieve Russia of much uneasiness. Still the form, if not the substance, of Otto man rule remains, and while it remains must always be a source of disturbance in Europe. Russia, however, did not and' could not hope to remove this altogether. ' Though checked inthe fulness of her con quest, she accomplished every purpose she avowed when her armies crossed thePruth, and whatever else may need to be done for the better government of the Sultan's, do minions she may honorably leave to the other powers and to time. Turkey will henceforth not vex her on the European side, and the real interest in the Eastern - question is transferred to the Levant,where Kussia and Bngland are now brought near- ' ly face to face. The protectorate which England has assumed in Asia Minor, by virtue of a treaty -which has about . the same moral force as a bargain made with a bankrupt whose estate is in the hands of a receiver, carries with it re sponsibilities that scarcely can be outlined now, and opens the way to fresh complica - tions that will try Lord Beaconsfield'a dU Ploaiacy severely. Kussia has made a sub Haniial conquest in Asia, but the treaty not only leaves her much less than she really woo, but leaves 4t in such shape as almost to invite a disagreement, and : Lord Bea- . consfieldV private treaty with Turkey . makes England the power with which the . disagreement is likely to arise." , t The surgery resorted to at Berlin way give a further lease upon life to the Sick Man, but it will fail to pre- vent death at last. ? In other word Wc do not think that Tarkey can co- - tinue for many decades to have a snhBtantial existence as ' an integral Part of Europe. It is only ar question of years when the Mussulman will be driven acVosg the Bosphorus, and will 'etnain an Asiatic power 'and nothing else. The Turkish system is one of "ottenness and decay.

There is ho chance ; ' for alteration or ini prove ment. ' It is simply and jincurably vi cious. , IiitHsia may be bjad, but there is progress. It recognizes, after a fashion, the Christian religionl , Bat Tarkey is covered with sores. "Its religion is immoral, its government iB corrupt, its. people are degraded. Be sides all this, Turkey is whelmed with debt., , She owes five tim.es more than she can pay. She is dooWed to bank .i j ruptcy, certain and irretrievable. All the surgery in the worldj cannot heal or relieve her financial disorders. So much for the Berlin doctoring! , Now for another view. ; There is a new phase given to the Eastern question that has th4 flavor of: freshness if it is not Well founded. There is at- larefe and nerbanff crowinfi class of doubtes as to the splendor' and value of the - Beaconsfield "tri umph. J It is too soon to be assured that the work done at Berlin may not prove the fruitful source of trou ble. Thus far the British Premier is the great central figure. He has surprised the world with the ability, the brilliancy, the bo! acts, and with the ferti elly of his diplomacy. ' dness ot his ity and nov He has done if the plans great things evidentty workout successfully,. and precisely in accordance ' with his wishes and purposes. It often requires years and even decades to determine the wis dom of an-important 8tr ike of policy. What at one time was considered a brilliant feat in diplomacy, in the end is seen to be the cause o '. disaster and perplexity.! I j Bat the new phase to which we re- fer is the action of the Russian Min- 1 1 i ister Gortschakoff., j It is thought his readiness to accept the Situation and yield gracefully to the demands of England, had in it a far-reaching poliey that he, too, had his plans, aud that in the end it may turn out that he was as wise and canny, to use a Scotch word, as the British i Chief. This view of the case Is elab- orately discussed by the Philadelphia Press. The points raised are inter esting, to say the least, and are well Press thus worth copying. The States the case referring to Gorts chakofTs acquiescence and statecraft: "If he saw that it isolated' England from all Europe on the great question of Asiatic possessions, which has given vitality to all the European' issues between Great Britain and the Czar for two generations; if he saw that England had herself denied any Eu ropean interest in, future Russo-Anglican rivalries in the East; if he saw that acqui esence was safe because it would reflect ho nor upon the restraint and unambitious tem per of Russia,' while it made certain that England would soon be involved in compli cations which would exhaust her strength, make her more vulnerable, and force her to fight in the future further from home and nearer to Russia; if he saw all this, as he no doubt didi and more, he might rather welcome this Disraelian stroke of genius as the greatest of blunders. , That Eng land can make herself responsible for the internal reforms of Asiatic! Turkey while relying on Mohammedan officers to carry them out, is a piece of policy altogether impracticable. England cannot look upon this scheme as limited to the terms of the treaty. Hence, even Beaconsfield'a party friends are staggered by the consequences involved.' It is clear that the Anglo-Turkish alliance means another British posses-' sion in Asia like that of India. . (Dissen sion and' misunderstanding will force the British officers and agents into constant conflict with the ! Turkish authorities; at home the government will be responsible for all the outrages and corruptions of Mo hammedan rule. ! Little by j little,' through mere force of I circumstances, (English guarantees will turn into English sovereign ly. Whether India weakens or strengthens Great Britain is a highly disputable ques tion. It " has made her vulnerable and weak from a military point ot view. Another such dependency would strai n her resources to the utmost.-' I The new British policy. must be tested through' many years to come before historians can safely determine whether Beaconsfield'a brilliant stroke was the offspring of great,' pro found. and penetrating genius, or "the folly of a daring, unscrupulous political juggler". It is a big job that Eng land undertakes 'when it brings under its protection anotber iarge, semi- civilized race, and pledges itself to Europe that there shall be good gov eminent among such a people. The English are a very great people, and they have accomplished wonders in India. But Aslatib. Tarkey is mnch nearer the borders off civilization, and it may turn out that "England in becoming ihe protector ' of n Asiatics5, isolates itself and makes it, what ap-; pears to , be Beaconsfield'a purpose,' more and more an Asiatio power. .? ! Russia, Austria and England all get a slice 4 of the .Turkey! Where is Germany's share ? What says France? Will Bismarck be really satisfied with the results secured ? 'I' .

W1LMIKGT,QNN, .Oiv FBIDAY4 JJLY 26-1878; ONE ILLCSfUATION., . ..; J ust now many of the people art running after strange gods in spite of the experiences of the past 'and the necessities 1 of 1 the ! present. Everv voter who bolts the Democratic party at this time onlv strengthens the Radical chances so much. It appears to us that before you turn indepen dent you should count' the cost to your county and State. If by taking such a step you are i o j u ri n g th e old, true, and tried party that has redeem ed, and disenthralled the.; State, then yoa are unwise, ungrateful and un patriotic. Do - notf persist' in what' you are doing. Take one illustration to show what the Democratic party lias done for JSlorth (Jarohna. We find the figures in; the Raleigh Ob server. i rf. , - f ..." In 1&68 the Radicals spent $158,- 0D0 of the Educational Fund in pay ing" themselves $7 per,, diem as mem bers of the Legislature. Not a cent was spent in educating the poor peo-1 pie of the State. We quote from the Observer i ! During the fiscal year beginning 1st of October, 1869, there was spent out of the Educational Fund the sum of $203,411 01, which was expended as follows: nvested in Special Tax bonds, $150,000 00 ixpense account. ............. . 2.014 00 Poll tax returned. . . . . ' 15 15 Paid to teachers of schools. . . . . 38,981 88 oaned to University 10.000 00 Loaned to Deaf aad Dumb Asy lum..... 3,000 00 Total....: $203,411 01, The investment in State bonds has, of. course, proved an entire loss as have the amounts loaned lo the University. Indeed, it is thought Jrrofessor Dickson will get his gum rails split before the Educational Fund will get back its ten thousand dollars. JSot one-hub of the whole amount ex pended was applied to common schools I Out of over two hundred thousand dollars expended, less than thirty-nine thousand was paid to teachers ! 1 Now behold the contrast. Under Democratic rule, for the year ending September 30, 1877,' $289,213 32 was expended in educating the chil dren of the State. This is not all. There w.n left in the treasury the im portant sum of $115,057 93. The Democratic party has shown itself tho friend of the poor children of Noith Carolina, i It has kept its pledge. Will you cripple it by your acts? We hope not. NEW MOVEMENT IN SOUTH CA """!" " KOLIN.A. . The colored people of South Caro lina are learning rapidly. Through the success of Gov. Hampton before the people, and the 'wisdom and per fect fairness with which ho has ad ministered the State government, giving justice to all and keeping , his promises with the utmost scrupulosi ty, the colored people have found out the vast difference; between honest and corrupt rule, and have discovered that it is better to trust the whiteW man who is "native and to the manner born," than the unscrupulous, design ing and insincere interloper and ad venturer, known henceforth in Ameri can history as the impecunious carpet-bagger, with his box of paper col lars and a greasy deck of cards. The new movement on foot among the icolored voters of South Carolina shows quite plainly progress in the right direction. Ii shows that the days of deceptive promises are gone forever, and that the negro race can not be longer used in that State as voting machines merely to secure of hces for the cunning and ravenous fellows who have "lived in cloyer," and. as . the verse runs, when their deaths come, "will die all over. A black man's party is being formed. Major Delaney, a rvery intelligent co lored man, is. at the head ' of . the movement. The object .is not to es tablish tho color line, but to get rid of the carpet-bagger of all that class of leaders whd have used the colored " people as j levers to hoist themselves into power, and when in power have shown themselves to be utterly corrupt and anworthyV Hence forth the colored people will only be managed by colored leaders. We trust they will be careful to follow none but those who have character for in telligence and fairness. Because j leader happens to be a colored man will no more make him trust wort! than if he were a carpet-bagger with the whitest of skin. . , We have seen in North Carolina ho w ready some of the colored leaders weret to receive bribes for their votes, and to ? make all they could out 'of the evil times and the misfortunes of the people, Let none be trusted against whom jast suspicion arises, however . spe-( cious or plausible bis promises.' The Charleston colored people have re solved that the broken-down Radica backs shall henceforth be set aside as utterly unsafe and unworthy. THE HUIP CANAL.

With safe inland navi gation without limit along our coast se cured, and extending as it will, indefinitely North and South, industries will be multi plied, there will be mereased demand for agricultural products, a better and more thorough system of drainage and agricul ture will prevail, existing towns will in crease and improve, while others will spring hp and flourish. Eastern North Carolina will become a new field of industrial and commercial enterprise, and our people will find it interesting to go to our- own coast and not elsewhere tolind good and thriving markets and easy and safe communication jwith the outside . world. : I look forward hopefully to the time wneu the eastern part pf our State will surpass, in point of mater rial development, any like scope of terri tory on the Atlantic coast in or out of the United States." The New York TVibune says that ? 'Speaker Randall is a bolder free jtrader in New York than- ho is in Philadelphia." We do not say this Is true or false, but . if true it is no ij great performance. Any well trained politician is equal to a feat of that kind. In 1861 the New York Herald irrnged itrpolitios in ono i day, and that too without corner out of its office. We have known a politician to be on both sides in a campaign We knew a Democratic delegate to a Convention to seek a place among the Radicals wilhiu a few -hours alter tho adjournment. The thing is com inon. We have some recollection that Judge Caldwell adapted j his speeches to localities during the cam paign of .1872. Demagogues of every name know onlv too well when to )low hot and when to blow cold, and how to tickle and bamboozle the I'dear people." ; I We are now satisfied that there is no truth in the report, that the Hon, Q. H. Dockery has applied for the position of chaplain on the Liberian ship Azor. At a Republican meet ing recently held at Rockingham, Oliver said that before he'd surrender to the Democrats he'd "see them dead i; . j - .- !' - and damned." We are afraid that the humiliating result of Oliver's re cent attempt to beard, "the Douglas in his hall" has soured his young and guileless heart.

The case is now shrouded in mystery, and it may eventually turn out that he is some poor unfortunate who has been suffering from mental aber ration and strayed I from . his home and friends.
