Affairs in Italy.

The King of Sardinia has at last ceded savoy
to France. This is called by the French En-
peror 'sreunion," Savoy having constituted q
part of the Empire, for short time, under the
first Napoleon. 1t is matter OF some surprise
that King Emmanuel should without apparent
reluctance thus give away "the cradle OF his
race" For about nine hundred years the Counts
of Savoy, from whom he is descended, have
held sway in that country and it was only in
1915, when the Kingdom of Sardinia was erect
ed by the union Of Piedmont, Savoy &C., that
they were elevated to a rank among the crowned
heads of Europe. But motives of state policy
no doubt controlled the event.
Victor Emmanuel is, however, amply indem-
nifed in other quarters. The question OF an
nexation to Sardinia has been :submitted to the
vote of the people of the neighboring provinces
and an overwhelming majority declaring IN ia
vor of the measure, those countries Will pass
under the rule of the liberal King of Italy, Not
only are Parma, Modena, Lombardy and Iusca-
ny annexed to Sardinia, but Romagna, hereto
fore under the Papal Government, takes the
same direction by virtue of universal suffrage
This King, says the London Times, advances as
calmly to seize province of the States OF the
Church as an English soldier would walk up to
take a jewel out of the head of an Indian idol.
England looks on grimly at these proceedings
but has not yet interfered; Austria protests

THE BALTIMORE CONFERENCE.-The Augusta
(Ga) Chronicle, strong advocate for the Balti
moro Union Convention, says: E
But the Constitutional men Of the country are
determined that there shall be no excuse for
weak and timid men to say they will take
the less of two evils. They will put forward a
programme which avoids both the evils of Con-
gressional and Territorial exclusion, and they
expect the support of the South for the right,
for principle, even if there were no good pros
pect of success-better defeat with honor than
victory with infamy. But they will take care,
too, in their nominations for the Presidency and
Vice Presidency, that the new party sLall not
only be right, but that it shall be Victorious
In any event that may probably occur, the Con-
stitutional Union Party, must and will have its
own candidate. Even if Douglas be thrown o.
verboard at Charleston, and Southern man put
in nomination, on sound platform, the Union
party is the only agency which can prevent the
election Of the Republicans. Seward, or the
nominee of the Chicago Convention, whoever
he may be, will inevitably be the next President,
unless the thirty -four votes of Pennsylvania and
New Jersey can be taken away from him. If
the Union party can carry these two States a.
lone, then the Union candidate will be elected
in the House-but at any rate, if the Republic
cans are to be defeated, it viii be necessary to
have three candidates.

a mass of corruption. The public printer re-
ceives more than his work is worth, and then is
compelled to distribute the gains for the sup
port.of party organs and to aid the election of
members of Congress. The Washington Con-
stitution and the Philadelphia Pennsy lvanian
were kept up in this manner, and the money was
distributed under the personal supervision OF the
President and Attorney General Black. Over

& THE CLAIMS OF VIRGINIA ON THE q. S.-We
learn from one of the agents appointed by the
Legislature, that there is fair prospect of the
large claim of about 81 100000 being realized by
the State. The Virginia delegation in both
branches of Congress, are taking, it is said, an
active interest in the matter; and as the State
only asks to be placed on the same footing with
Maryland, Alabama and other States, which
haye secured large sums recently, by Acts Of
Congress-, we cannot doubt that the same meas
ure of justice will be extended to Virginia; and
at this time it is matter of great Importance to
her. 1t may, however, be defeated by non &C
