Will there be speedy peace between Russia and Tarkeyy or will the war be prolonged indefinitely ? Will the war be prosecnted with an eye to conquest , on the part of Russia, or will the protection of the oppressed Christians be the only end in view? Tire Czar is committed to a war not of conquest but to free Christians from oppression. No doubt he would be glad to have all of Turkey as his share, but he has given a promise to the European Cabinets that he. can not disregard with safety. He as sured the Great Powers in the begin ning that he would make no con quests. If he finds himself able to " gobble up" the " sick man," coun try and sea, army and navy, he will no doubt feel anxious to help him self but then this will not be allowed. Austria and Germany would each want a big slice. Whilst the three Emperors might be able to settle Turkey's " hash", to suit themselves, . England, France, Italy, Spain and other smaller Powers might put in a word of objection. So we take it that in no event, will there be con quest - Although the recent news threatens to complicate matters and . to bring England to the front, we do not now see why peace should not come be- . fore another year's rcampaign has been tried. If there is to be mo con quest, then why should Russia be anxious to prosecute the'' war to a 'bitter end," or the last extremity? It is a very expensive business she is engaged in, and she is short of funds and witbj damaged , credit. Whilst peace is a necessity clearly with Turkey, it is also becoming a great burden, possibly, a necessity too, with Russia. Will France, Spain, Italy, and England agree to the partition of Turkey between .Germany, Austria and Russia ? We , think not. It is not to their interest that such an aot should be allowed We" do- not see how Germany is to be benefited ; so greatly by a complication of dangers on the Danube We cannot see why Russia should risk fa war with Eng land and other powers, when she must Lose more .than she can gain by such a course. A prolonged war, ancTnpon a more gigantic scale' wduld be fraught with , great: evil . to both Russia and the entire civilized world. We grant the last news ' does hot look so favorable to jmmediate peace. But if Germany and Austria disclaim all prirpds to take part iri'the war or to share in its jresuits,; then England must continue to remain neutral. We caiTbut hope and believe that with the fall xtf Tflevna the? prospects jof peace were brightened Russia can beather enemy and Turkey knows it. We dibnbiRlt the laUeg.ia UlL condition to stand: another year's campaign.' "Whilst her forces are dwindling away, Russia is increasing hers by new levies and fresh arrivals. It will not surprise us' if before the 1st of February next mediation or a . . 3; t i - :. ' treaty uireei. uas ueguu. . -j .. . DEFEATED HUT NOT OE8EHTKD. Some good . has followed .the tri umph - of Conkling Averl the Presi- dent. Whilst those papers that have ; ?-- - - T. i t . i vT .4 his reform and Southern policy still Stand DJ Jniir hlSWar With fO- tiomsts, there have been expressions of' sympathy from Democratic pa pers 'that have had but little 'pa tience with him. In fact, the Presi dent has gained more. than. he has lost.; He has the favor, of a large majority of the true people of the country who are patriotic enough to prefer peace and reconciliation to strife and ; sectional ? antagonisms. Whilst men differ as to the wisdom and propriety of much that he has done, they all' give him more or less credit for having served the country at large in serving so well the oppressed South. He is now standing by his guns, and there are no signs of . dis may or of backing down on' his part. Conkling demauds a change in the Cabinet' as a necessary step Upwards peace in the party. - He means war to the knife unless the President will retrace his steps, confess his sins, and henceforth keep step to the music of party. JTd Wm4Xf It Mr. Hayes were to prove him self as weak and vacillating as his enemies desire him to be, and were to make an entire new- Cabinet com j - posed of the material that the ex tremists would furnish, what a nice time the country would have, and what a glorious prospect for the South., In that Cabinet would be such bull-dozers as Blaine, Conkling, Don Cameron, Edmunds, Ben Butler, Garfield, &c. This is the kind of timber that would .. be placed in the "new Cabinet knarled, crooked, tough, rotten as it is in parts. .How happy then would be those Demo crats who aided Conkling in bringing about this state of affairs. What a tremendous debt of gratitude the country would owe them for such a consummation. - The taxable wealth of North Caro- I lina is diminishing. The last Raleigh I News gives the value of taxable pro- perty, taken from the advanced sheets of the State Auditor's annual report. Here are the figures: Value of land. $74,221,398 00 Value of town property. 17,458,520 00 Horses, mules, cattle, &c., Farming tools, money, cred 16,130,858 00 its, dec, .. ,. 40,753,781 00 Total value of real and per sonal property-, 1148,564,557 00 The summing up for the year ending Sep tember 80th. 1876. shows the following: Value of land, $75,809,799 00 Value of town property, 17,047,321 00 Horses, mules, cattle. &c. 16.683.096 00 Farming tools, money, cred- - - its, &C., 43,505,807 00 Total value of personal and real property, 1152,546,023 00 The above tables show a total falliDg off of $3,981,466 00 this year over the last. On value of land, of $1,088,401 00; on horses, mules, cattle, &c, of $552,238 00; on farm ing tools, money, credits, &c. , of $2,752,- 026 00. , . . And an increase on the value of town property of $411,199 00. This is not an encouraging exhibit. In 'many sections the price of land is depreciating, and we are surprised that the falling off is no greater than is represented.' ' '' ' xne u. o, .penate aia one-gooa i deed which should not die tohgue- I less." S. B. McLin, a member of the in famous Returning Board of Flori da; ' was nominated by President Hayes to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of New Mexico. It is very creditable to the Senate that he was rejected without a di vision. For a civil service reformer Mr. Hayes makes some very strange selections. He is singularly badly informed as to the character of some J of the men he desires to" favor, or he is very indifferent as to their personal qualifications for integrity and honor.

To a very large and powerful section of the Republican party his general policy of wise pacification and of cor- rection of abuses in the civil service, to say nothing of his financial views, is -most l weleome. f Why, " then, has the Administration seemed so friend less?
