Asia, where tba Czar is less likely to ?neoimie.- European oppo sition, ana where .when successful, ho cnn pince himself in position to operate advantageously in the direction of the Persian.Gulf. With Persia and interme diate Hintes in her grasp, Russia could, hy her railroad system, soon control the trude witb India, although Engluud were left in undisturbed possession of Alexan dria anti W??Sfoea Canal. Thc campaign in Asi;-, is c?rfiiinly in marked contrast wlthlke delays cn thc Danube, where the cream of tho Ottoman forces awaits the coming of the Russians ; and, whatever, passing interest attaches to the Batoum? mid Bukuta Kslehs, Turkish towna as saulted by Russians or Russian towns taken by Turks, the eye of Europe is chiefly fixed upon Kars, which occupies in Turkey in Asia the same relative position that Shumht bolds iu European Turkey. As Varna, Rustcbuk and Shumla are thc keys to Turkey in Europe, so Treb,.zond| Kars and Erceroum may bc said to be those of Turkey in Asia. The nows so freely published by tho press as to the fal! of Kant some tiing ago must have boen a matter of considerable amusement to those acquainted with its position und deronces. Had such an event taken Elaeo the campaign in Asia Minor would ave boon divested of its greatest difficul ties ; but a place that held out in 1852 for five montas when defended by 17,000 men ana 42 guns is not likely to be taken by assault or coup de main, .especially when garrisoned "by moro than"double that amount both of men and guns. ' The Town of Kars itself is small, con taining only about fifteen thousand in habitants. It is built upon the River Karachi, and is surrounded by hills on all sides excepttha south. Nature has done, much to strengthen Kars in the way of defence ; for since the day when field ar aciioa at - twenty-fire old system of fort?Sca ' the past, and "Vauban ?cbooT have died n natural death, ita cities sro defended by works aud this is notably the caso X?CI extent of carth MWPW Cars is about ten mile?, and. thi?o mostly occupy '..ho codncncuS which nature has pro.y?q?u' for, its protection. .

Morton publishes a letter on the situa tion in answer to au open letter published in tho Ne? York Ihnes and other private letters. He says regarding; the creden tials of Kellogg, after they had been re ferred to his committee : The committee on Privileges and Elections met soon af terward, and the Republican members j united in a report that prima facie 8. B. Packard was the lawful Governor of Louisiana, tho Packard Legislature was the lawful Legislature, and that Kellogg had been elected in conformity to thc act of Congress, and was entitled to be sworn in and take bk) scat. As a number of| members of the Senate were absent, end the subject would lead to a long debato, If a majority of thc Senate shall at its i next session be of opinion that Kellogg < was lawfully elected by the Legislature ' of Louisiana, he will bc entitled to a. seat, i notwithstanding the events that have . since occurred. No subsequent breaking ' up of that Legislature, combination or i arrangement can in the least effect his i title or destroy tho legality of what took I Elaco r.t that time, though the very mern- 5 era who proclaimed the election of Pack- \ ard and mado that of Kellogg should sub- i sentiently declare that of Nicholls and. take part in tho election of SpofTord. It is too clear for argument that they could i not tako away the rights which had vested or make that unlawful which had been before lawful. Unless Krdloirsr volunta- I rily withdraws, thc Senate wiYl have to decido the question of his election as it ? Btood at tho time nf the adjournment. Tho Republican governments of Louis iana ana South Carolina havo yielded to force. They have gone down before an armed minority, whose threats of future violence wcro guarantcd by a long train of bloody deeds, done in thc past. I regret that the real character of Die trans action should bo obscured in thu least by ?>retended investigations or negotiations, stripped of all disguises and pretenses, the simple fact is that Packard una Chamberlain were not able to maintain themtelvcs in authority, and thc govern ment of tho United States, in tho exer cise of its discretion, refused its support. Then tho Legislatures, finding themselves defenseless, fell to pieces, und from their ruins in part new Legislatures have been constituted, whose legalit" consists in tho fact that there are none io oppose them. Tho law and thc right? of thc majority havo yielded to an armed aggressive mi nority. Morton, after describing what Grant might have done, intimates that had I lav ca proceeded to maintain Puckard and Chamberlain by using the army, bn would have proceeded to inevitable defeat. He says the Republican majority in tho Senate upon the* Southern question is bnt nominal if at al!. Five Republican Sonators voted at thc late executive ses sion against seating Kellogg, and to refer his credentials to a committee, thus re fusing to recognize the Packard govern ment; and a number of Republican Son ators, sufficient, wjicn added to the Dem ocratic members, to constitute a majority, have steadily refused to recognize tho Republican State government in Loui siana Bince 1878, by voting against seating ? Senator chosen by it. While, in my ?'udgment, it was clearly tho right of tho ?reaideut, under tho constitution, to re cognize the Packard government and support it by military power, the" under taking would have been futile, and the failure disastrous. With divided public Opinion in his partv. and both Houses of Congress against u??~., ho would have failed in the end. The democratic House has power to destroy tho army entirely, and from my knowlcdgo of tho Senate, I am sure the Republican majority of that body could hardly bo relied on to support Hayes in such a course. ? I don't beliovo that President Hayes intends to destroy the Republican party and attempt tho erection of a new one on its ruins. I beliovo in bis patriotism and his integrity, his undivided purposo to make the administration a benefit to tho country. Tho large body- of the white people who engaged in tue rebellion are firmly united in favor of several things, and they will stand by the party that favors them and oppose to the bitter end tho ; party that opposes them. Among theso is the payment for rahel, property taken or destroyed by our armies. When Mr. Tilden wrote his letter.

We have before us a little < book of letters written a hundred years | ?go by Gilbert White, entitled "Natural ? liistory of Sclbornc." It has become an , English classic.

Y. Herald. Tho Now Party Movement. I Talk of a new party is revived on many sides. As it all comes from ono party, it shows that that one is in its own opinion not in good form. With this talk the Eagle has had little to do. Newspapers do no not malte or unmako parties. Tho obituaries .of parties in newspapers nearly always fail to find tho corpse ready. Parties grow out of public ex igencies or die because they miss or mis conceive them. Tho Republican organs have killed and buried tho Democratic party^ every six months for seventeen year?. That organization is, however, indestructible, for it is founded on prin ciples which aro permanent, uniform and universal. They must lost ns long as hu man nature endures. Tho opposition to tho sway of these principles is only a proof of tho raw development of society Qr of tho inferiority of Democrats to tho full duty of tho only true principle they have in custody.' Society improves and Democracy comes to power. Democrats fail to rise to the full measure of their principles, and they go out of power while now men are voted in to administer on the -une principles in another name. These men themselves fail in turn, and back como the Democrats bettered by idvorsity. Democracy has given thc union ail tl u rood government it over hud ut whoso sver hands it came. Pad government bes resulted from infidelity to Democ racy, whether by Republicans or Domo jrats, for in Democracy, or in tho prin ciple that government is made foi* mau md not man for rovbiC!??*-nt, resides the potentiality of all tho wolf sro which can .orno Brom political sou rc <?'..to .o.'?unizcd locicty.

Thc opposition to it has mown many names and som6 triumphs, mt all of them have been brief, and they m vc all hud to bo made tolerable by tho .ccourso to Democratic principles by' ihoso who call, themselves by another itlo. The party which is for few und oreciso powers, for local Beif-governmcnt, br liberty regulated by law, for the full est trust in and largest freedom for the individual, and for tho limitation of the rcnerol government to tho sphere of its lclcgatod duties alone, exists in all lands ; is everywhere tho party of rational pro TTMM and orderly liberty, of home righta ind of personal rights, nod is called Democratic here. To MEASURE LAND.-A progressive [armer says the most simple way to mens iro land is to take two slats about six feet long, sharpen one end of each, lay them upon a floor like a pair of open compasses, so that tho points shall bo ex ictly five feet and six inohes apart ; now nail the other two ends togothcr and a piece aoross tho middle, BO that lt will took (lice the letter A, and tho measure is ?nished.

That will do. Now my robes-there, that comb. And now go, 3vcry one of you, to your posts." Thus saying, he proceeded, with a firm j itep, to tho church, by a private en trance. As he left the room I saw him place Iiis good band of cards within Iiis sacred robes, under the inside fastening.

I rau round to thc frout entrance, and was just in time to witness thc commencement of thc service. It is o wonder judgment did not fall on tho chief priest; and it did in n way. At one part of tho service, just as he was stepping on tho r lat form, ho put bin hand inside his robe to pull out Iiis handkerchief, and as be drew it out the cards came also unbidden, and fell scattered over the altar floor. This would have paralyzed any ordinary man, but that priest never moved for a mo ment. Ile looked coolly at the cards, then steadily at tho people, as much as to say, "You all sec that-take notice of it; I'shall tell you about it by and by." He then continued the services. At tho uloac he pointed at tho ca rein, then beck oned a little pcaiant boy, with a short ?!:irt of cosruo linen und trowscrs to match, not very clean, who had been crossing and bending beside a poor peas ant woman, his mother. "Come hero 1" The boy went. Tu rn in jr to the congregation, he said : "I shall give you a lesson you will not forget for wino time. You see these cards lying on the floor? Do you think I put them there for nothing ? We shall sec. What is your name, my boy ?" "Peter Pctrovitch." "Well, Peter Petrovitch, go and pick up uno of those caids you sen on the floor, and bring it to me. There, that will do. Now tell mc, Peter Petrovitch, what card is this?" "The ace of spades," said the boy, with ready knowledge. "Very good, Peter Petrovitch ; Iring me another. What card is this?" '.The queen of spades," said Peter. "How well you know them, Peter!

Thc same answer. "And this?" "I can not tell." "That will do, Peter, tho son of Peter; you may go to ye r mother." Turning to the people, he continued, "Do you now know for what purpose I put these cards on thc floor? Do you not think shame cf yourselves?

Far beek in the remote aces, from Ar istotle and Plato, down to Locke, Milton, Montesquieu and the illustrious fathers of 1776, the great problem has been agi tated : How shall a free and just govern ment be established and maintained among men? And the answer is, by power holding power in check. Un checked power in government, under whatever guise or name, is despotism. Every people having interests pecuMar to themselves, must havo tho power of pro tecting them. If they have not, they do not rule themselves, but are ruled in a a state of political subjection. Here was the mighty rock on which tho Democratic party raised its noble ram^.rts for lib erty ; and the great principles of free government on which this party is found ed, l:\o the ten commandments in morals, stand to-day solid and unshaken, for tho ttatesmanship of tho future. At this time there aro millions in tho United States who cherish these principles-who place their hopes on them, and will re 'pond to tho party organization, honestly aiming to enforce them. From the beginning of the Union, thc contest arose between a restricted and a consolidated government-a free govern ment and a despotism. Through thc long struggle of seventy years, in measure after measure, many Democrats, chiefly lt the North, went over to the consolt iationists-enemies to tho parry in all but name ; and tho South tried to save borself by retiring from the foul despot ism of consolidation. Now, by *ho experience in which wo exist, all men can Bee the inevitable fate of every free government abandoning the principles of the Democratic party. Men may chaugo in upholding them. Men may abandon them. But they live In tho breasts of the people, ns the true ind only principles cf liberty. Despot ism and tyranny only concentrate a paw vitality. Tho primary principles of the Democratic party are undying and un changc ">lo. Its adherents aro to-day a majority of the voters of the country. Bringing its principles again undofilcd Into the politics ortho United States, it must rise up to the restoration of tho Fed eral Government to a free government pr revolutionary darkness, tho euro se quence of central despotism, must aproad over thc land.

They will cat meat when too sick to cat corn. If not well within three days, repeat. In no case but one have I had to repent, out of more than fifty trials. A GOOD USE OF P's.-One of dur ex changes indulges in thc use of P's to ex press what it may be healthful to all sub scribers to newspapers to read, meditate and inwardly digest. It says : "Persons who patronize papers should pay prompt ly, for the pecuniary prospects of the {>rcs3 have peculiar power in pushing brward public prosperity. If the printer is paid promptly and his pocket boob kept plethoric by prompt-paying patrons, he puts his pen to naper in peace ; be paints bis pictures of passing events in more pleasaut colors, and thc perusal of his paper is of more pleasure to his peo ple. Paste this piece of provorhia' phil osophy in ?orno placo where all persona can perceive it. Bo pleased also to pon der upon it thyself patiently and perse veringly and profitably, and persistently practice its precepts perpetually." A NEW USE FOE RAMIE.-The Ramie, of whose superseding cotton there was so much talk fiftef-n years ago, was never utilized in that way, owing to tho lack of machinery to prepare the stalks ; but Mr. Peabody, in the Southern Planter, says he has i-und lout it is au excellent and easily raised forage for horses and cows. They eat it with avidity. It can be cut at least a dozen times in the season, grows from tho root without re planting year after year, and flourish os on poor soil. Tho seed can be procured, we suppose, at tho Patent Office. - The very best thing to give a mean man is to gi ve him the go-by. - A hornet's sting is a little thing, but it Bends thc school-boy home howling. - A girl once sat on her lover's hat and kept him three hours over time. The next time that young man goes to see bis girl he should hang his hat on a nail instead of holding it rn his lap. - A lady, stepping into a railway car, said to her little son : "Aren't you going to kiss your mother before you go? The little rogue couldn't wait and called out, "Conductor, won't you kiss mother for nie ?" - "Do you chink your father is going to move ont soon ?" inquired the owner of a rented house of the son of his ten ant. " 'Reckon so," was the reply, "we have begun using tho winder frames for fire-wooa." - "Father, did you over have another wifo besides mother?" "No, my boy; what possessed you to ask such a ques tion ?" "Because I saw in the old family Bible that you married Anna Domini, 1886 ; and that isn't my mother, for her I name was Sully Smith." I - A Kentucky dentist undertook to ping one of thu back teeth of a favorite mule. He bored and bored until tho drill struck something that seemed to lift the uii nani's soul right off its hinges. That's UK way tho coroner explainer! it, and since then a wild mulo has been galloping up and down tho country, seek ing for fresh worlds to conquer. - A mcck-eyed married man offered, as s test at a spiritual seance, that the medium name tho articles in his wife's upper bureau drawer. . The medium said tho spirit would repeat the contents of Webster's dictionary or any other light task, bat that life was too short to at tempt tho task proposed, and the rash proposer was hustled out of tho ball. - "Fell :w-alnncrs," Baid n preacher, "if you were told that by going to the top of those stnirs yonder (pointing to a rickety pair of stairs at ono endjof tho church) you might secure your eternal salvation, I really believe hardly any of you would try it. But let any man pro claim that there were a hundred dollars up there for you, and PU be bound thcro would be such a getting up stairs os you never did see." - A sad story is related of a lady at a party in London, whoso dress ana form were faultless. J ust before dinner an ad mirer offered her a flower from his but ton-holcj which she fastened to her dress with a pin. As they went ''. wn to din ner, the gentleman thought he heard a boise as though wind were escaping from a bellows.
