Free press Olloe. July 6th, 1877. W thursday april 11, 1878. A most important judgment was recently Given in the court of appeals by Chancellor Sprague chief Justice Ilag Garty or. Jus Tice Burton and Lar. Justice Patterson concurring. The Case was Leprohon is. The City of Ottawa and was a test Case Tho Dis Pute being whether the corporation have Power to tax Dominion civil servants for in come or not. The judgment was that Tho corporation had not such Power under the Constitution. The principle involved is one of very general importance but is particularly so to Ottawa As that corporation has received in the shape of income tax from the civil service since 1866 about per annul and will under the judgment not Only lose this much of its Revenue but May be called upon to refund some 000. A new Field Gnu. The new 12-Pounder Field gun which May be regarded As the product of two years experiments at the hands of the most skilful British artillery its has recently been completed at the Royal gun factories arid is looked upon As the most perfect Field gun in existence. At present it is proposed to make Only fifty on the same pattern and then Only after the Sample gun is finally approved but no doubt exists that it will Here after become the service Arm of the whole artillery Force. The most remarkable Fea Ture in its outward form is its length for it is nearly nine feet Long whereas the 9-Pouncler of 8 cwt. Measures but six feet. The however weighs Only cwt., for every ounce of superfluous Metal has been judiciously shaved off and save that the contour of the Breech end is a Little too rigid the gun is from a professional Canada life Assurance co y. Established Point piece of the Beau Ideal of a Field View the bore like that of Tho 9-Pouncler, the e4stebn question. The present work has contributed to Tho history of the Eastern question two import ant incidents namely the explanations Given in the British parliament in justification of the calling out of the reserves and he reply of Prince Kortchak Offtor the circular of the Marquis of Salisbury. As both have appeared very fully in our columns it is unnecessary to enter at length upon Dis Cussion of the arguments involved. It is Clear that England and Lussia regard the situation and its possible outcome from a totally different standpoint. While the former is dissatisfied with nearly every condition of the Han Stefano treaty the latter claims that this treaty virtually embodies Tho principles enunciated by the Powers at Tho constantinople conference about a year ago. Tussia claims that she has great individual and National sacrifices to accomplish the reforms which that Confer ence demanded and thereupon with an air of injured innocence that eng land ventures to impugn her right to indemnity herself with territorial acquisitions. It is impossible however to regard the matter within so very limited a Scopo. Had Russia called upon the Powers to assist her inaugurating Tho desired reforms in the turkish provinces As soon As the Porte acknowledged defeat and offered to accept the terms stipulated by the conference the Czar would have been fully justified in is 3-Inch calibre enlarged at the chamber end to 6 in inches and the vent is fixed rather Forward to ignite the Cartridge seven inches ii in the Bottom of the bore. Sights of Tho most delicate and serviceable kind have been provided for it the most approved being the French and Tho orthotic systems the principle of the latter being a Small Hole in a disc and the former a Small Dot hold by wires in Tho Centre of a ring. An improvement of the Trunnion is also introduced in this gun consisting of a Collar on each Arm to Brace up Tho Carriage and save it from some of the damaging effects which it suffers from the Shock of discharge. The gun is rifled in ten grooves the rifling like every other detail having been the re sult of Long investigation.

Asking indemnity of some kind for the sacrifices Russia had Tingle handed to enforce the reforms formulated by Tho Powers in the interests of humanity and peace. Bub what Are the realities of the situation the russians would not accept the submission of the turks until they had actually established a russian hold on All Tho positions of importance in the Vicinity of constantinople Only foregoing indeed the occupation of that capital when the arrival the British Fleet showed that further pro Gress would have to be against the opposition of a More powerful foe than Down trodden Turkey. The course adopted by Russia Ever since this event has not been such As to give Confidence to the other Powers. She proposed in that treaty not Only to Settle the internal difficulties of the Christian turkish provinces single handed but to make such alterations in the map of Europe and Asia As would give her the command of the Danube and of various Mediterranean ports in the former with the Power of interrupting european communications with Persia in the latter while the whole tendency of her operations threat ened a seizure of Tho Straits giving a Cess to the Iea of Marmora and Tho Euxine. To one can doubt that her ambitious course has been checked simply by the firm attitude of England backed by the moral support of Austro Hungary. Then again Russia has shown a determination to Sacri fice the rights of her ally Roumania by a selfish Endeavor to retain the control of the Danube through the re annexation of Bessarabia whether the Rou maniacs Are willing or not. The injustice of this High handed course is Only too apparent but it appears even More flagrant when we recall the proclamation issued to the romanian people by the grand Duke Nicholas the Day the russian army crossed the Pruth. This manifesto contained the following sentences i declare to you that we come us friends wishing Only your Good. Conform Wibly to my father s order i deem it my duty to inform you that the passage of the russian armies will be of Short duration and should occasion no uneasiness the romanian being consid ered by us As it Friendly government. Romanians our ancestors shed their blood for your liberties. 1 think we have a right then to ask your co operation for the army about to pass through your coun. Try for the sole purpose of the unhappy christians of Turkey Whoso mis fortunes Havo excited the compassion of of Russia and entire after this Roumania became an Active ally of Russia and did a very important Bhare of the fight ing. In arranging the terms of peace rus Sia has altogether ignored Roumania s claims to share in the required indemnity and would compel her to give up Bessarabia in Exchange for territory in Tho do Brudsche which Bhe does not want. As the defiant refusal of the romanians to accept this arrangement involves a material Security for the neutrality of Tho Danube it May be at once seen How Roumania has become in the eyes of Europe but particularly in the regard of England and Austria the Central figure of the present situation.
