We would call attention to the remarkable account of an

interview with Prince Vogorides, Governor-General of East Roumelia, which appears in our correspondence columns. We can vouch for the writer's good-faith, and the accuracy of his report vouches for itself. This is the first reasonable and con- sistent explanation of Prince Vogorides' action, and throws a flood of light upon his character. He will be a kindly and cautious ruler, though he will hardly attain the throne of Byzantium.
