the South in the Kansas controversy, Who are
those Democrats who, after voting for that reso-
luton. are willing to eject the regularly and law
fully elected delegate from tho Territory, ant
substitute for him man who was not even 4

Washington contemporary says it is cur
rently rumored there that the Administration
will back down from its stand on the Central
American question, and that Mr.. Dallas instruc.
tons are peace-like. We should not at all wonder
if this were so. Democratic administrations
have facility at this sort of business. The
Oregon and Cuba controversies are memorable il
Illustrations. We hope the friends of the Presi-
dent will get behind him and hold him up to the
scratch. Greedy has a sovereign liniment for weak
backbones. If the executive dorsum needs il.

afraid of a national back out,in case of indispu

CONGRESS- may 60 fur towards redeeming the
errors. follies and evil auspices OF its beginning,
by speedy adjournment. The proposition of
Mr.. McMulen that they should elect Speaker,
pass the appropriation bills and go home met
with general appreciation, especially in the
South Now that Speaker has been elected,
we should like to see the other part of the reso.
luton renewed and carried out. Under the most
favorable circumstances, it has always been
found that tho session Immediately preceding n
Presidential election accomplishes nothing good.
Wire working and mannovering displace all
profitable legislation. But now, when the coun,
try has nothing to expect from the fanatica ell
ements tina, govern the present session but mis-
chief and danger, the public pence and safety
call for the shortest possible term that will admit
Of indispensable legislation. The troubles in
which we are involved with other government
create no necessity for the organized presence
of Congress near the Executive-for the body
could at any time be brought together by tho
call of the President upon the occurrence OF
any exigenoy demanding it. Give us, then, q
short, working session and a speedy adjourn
ment.

We observe. also, that the impression seems
to prevail that the coming convention is TO make

and Vice Presidency. This is not The under

has been an unanimous expression of judgment
in this section. in favor Of postponement Of

we shall hold ourselves bound by no nominations

The EMPEROR OF RUSSIA AND THE WAR;
A letter dated St. Petersburg, 9TH ut., states
that the war party there opposed to peace,
the nobility side with them. II adds:
The Emperor is DISCONTINUED and melancholy:
He walks up and down for hours together alone
in his study, the servants having orders to let
no one come near him. He oonsults his wife,
the Empress Marie. who advises him to make
every sacrifice compatible with honor to obtain
pence. But then his august mother inter-
feres, exciting him to war, talks of the hu
initiation of the empire which the late Car
Nicholas had raised to such pitch of glory
and power. Unfortunately the Emperor Alex
ander is completely under the influence of his
mother. for whom he has an unbounded and alb
solutely blind affection If the counsels OF the
empress dowager should be at any moment in
sufficient to override the advice of the empress

hand to foment the war feeling. He processes

sources, and the effectiveness of her army. ian

short, the grand admiral without fleet, as he is

It's stated that, in the event of peace not being
concluded between the beligerents of Europe,
fleet of $40 vessels, under the English flag, and
commanded by Admiral Lyons, will enter the
Baltic as soon as its waters are open, the coming
spring. This feet will be, it is said, more form-

any that has ever before hoated on any sea, and
great events are expected to be accomplished by
it. 1t is said tina, if this fleet, aided by French
