V1croR EMANUEL, since his recent &C.
QUESTIONS, has reorganized his army upon
the following basis: There are to be 1O4
regiments Of infantry of the line, 8 regiments
Of grenadiers, regiments of marines, 81
battalions of bsrsaglisra or sharpshooters,
16 regiments Of artillery, 8 of cuirassiers,
IL of lancers, IL of light cavalry, 2 of bus.
sars, 4 of engineers, 2 of guides, and regi-
ments of train. According to the Sandman
organization this would give a total of
strength of about 100000, which is not
large compared with the armies of other
great European powers, being little more
than one and half per cent. of the popula-
ton, while the usual per centage is two, and
even two and half. With standing army
Of 100000 men, and population exceeding
20,O00,oO0, Italy may we'll be considered
as one of the great European powers.

MADIsoN's VIEws.-NICHoLAs p. TRIsT,
ESQ.,, we'll known to the country from his
former connection with the Department of
State, has furnished the New York World
several letters from Mr.. MADISON, addressed
to him in the years 1882 3, and never be-
fore published. So far as the assumed
fright" Of secession is susceptible of being
extinguished by the authority Of Mr.. MAD
1soN, it must be admitted that, by Zine
upon line and precept upon precept" from
the pen of the Father of the Constitu-
tion," the work has been completely done.
Of qualification" Mr.. MADISON writes to
Mr.. TR1sT that "the coming generation will
look back with establishment at the infatua-
ton" which could countenance it and he
calls secession a "twin beresy." He says
that "both ought to be buried in the same
grave )" and that those who talk in favor
of secession "seem to have lost sight of the
great principle that compact is the basis
and essence Of free government, and that no
right to disregard it belongs to party till
released from it by causes of which the
other parties have an equal right to judge.
In the event of an irreconcilable conflict,
not of rights but of opinions and claims of
rights, force becomes the arbiter.''

ENGLISH and French Finances,

In the year 1914, the national debt of
France was 95O.646,lO8. In thirty eight
years-that is to say, in le52--it had in
creased to s213,925, 492. 1t is now 1885,
883,87l. So that in the last eight years, it
has increased no less than 9143,O58, 1919. In
1855 the annual charge of the public debt
of France was stated to be 100000,
whilst in January of the present year it was
admitted to be 100000. and is probably
much more. 1t is terrible fact that, in
face of the unprecedented amount of taxa
ton with which France is at present bur-
dened, it is even now necessary to add large
ly, year after year, to the national debt.
During the same space of forty years the
English national debt has undergone several
alterations, sometimes rising and sometimes
falling, but it is at present very little more
than it was in 1920, when it stood at
979OOOO,OOO; while the charge on the
debt has considerably lessened.
The following tables, place in juxtaposi-
ton the amount of the revenue derived from
the taxes of the two countries. The figures
do not include any local taxation, which, in
many towns in France, as here, is consid-
cred very great. 1t is especially heavy in
Paris:

The resignation of General CAss, and the
absence or resignation of Mr.. PRESCOTT, from
the State Department at Washington, de-
wolves the extensive and complicated duties
of that Office upon Mr.. WIN. HUNTER
gentleman of profound abilities and vast
experience. Mr.. HUNTER is the son of the
once distinguished Senator HUNTER, of
Rhode Island, an uncompromising Wing of
the F1sHER-AMEs school, and who in elo-
quence and power in debate met with but
few rivals. WILLIAM HUNTER has held the
important Office of Chief Clerk in the State
Department, more than twenty years has
associated during that period, with all the
great men of the country, and is more famil-
lar with the details of that office, than any
other man; and though Democratic Presi-
dents have we'll understood his political po-
sitions, they have never ventured to dispense
with his services. The only embarrassment
that can cucumber the President by the de.
parture of the two chief officers of the State
Department, may arise from his own willful
blindness, in not consulting with, and being
guided by, such men as Mr.. HUNTER.

Gen. HoustOn's Position.

Gen. Houston, Governor of Texas, has
written letter respecting his views on the
present crisis in our political affairs. He
had hoped to have rejoiced in the election
of conservative candidate to the Presiden-
cy, and would have been satisfied with
BRECKENRIDGE. He regards the election of
Mr.. LINCOLN as the choice of man whose
only claim to the position is his constitu-
tional endorsement by the electoral college.
Mr.. HoUsToN does not regard the mere fact
of LINCoLN's election as cause for dis
union and revolution. The President elect
will be mere citizen, sworn to administer
the laws, at the risk of offending radical
supporters. In doing this, be must, of ne
cessity, fall back upon the conservative
masses Of the country for support. If be
fails to do this, and, in doing so, to respect
the South and sustain her rights, be must
be hurled from power. When the time
comes that he must choose between the loss
of constitutional rights and revolution, Gov.
Houston will accept revolution. If he
hesitates now, it is not because he desires
to submit to Republican rule, but because
he recognizes the obligations of the Consti~
tuition of his country, and will stand by
them. Mr.. LINCOLN has been constitution
ally elected, and there is no other alterna-
tive but obedience. Hr. Houston draws
graphic picture of the horrors incident upon
civil war and asks whether the people of
Texas would be justified in meeting its
results. The President will be in minori-
ty, controlled by a Senate, House, and SUI
preme Court inimical to him. A dissolu-
ton of the Union would weaken the South,
and imperil to greater degree her rights
Of law and property. Mr.. HoUsToN de-
precates the military display and prepare"
ton now going on in Texas, and thinks the
people will be eager enough to arm when
the occasion really demands, without the
interferences of demagogues. He thinks
Mr.. LINCOLN should make declaration of
his principles, that the free States should
repeal all laws obnoxious to the Constitu-
ton and its compromises, and declares that,
so long as the Constitution is maintained
by Federal authority, and Texas is not made
the victim of Federal wrong, be is for the
Union as it is. He concludes with an elo-
quent and pathetic appeal to the people of
Texas to pause and ponder before they act
outside of the Constitution.

We are glad to observe that one of the
New England religious papers, of a denom-
nation which has not shown much modera-
ton on the slavery question, has a correct
appreciation of the duty of the North with
regard to the personal liberty bills. Of the
Massachusetts law the Boston Recorder
Congregational says:
Retracing a wrong step is no concession
which ought to disturb any ones conscience.
1t is now generally conceded that that law was
both useless, and in its intent and spirit viola.
tive of the spirit of the constitution. On that
ground it was plain that it ought to be repeal
ed. There is no unmanly concession in undo.
ing manifest wrong. We are bound to fulfil
the contracts of the constitution as long as we
enjoy its advantages.
If the whole religious press Of the North
would follow this good example, what
service would it do to liberty and religion.

Mr.. SCoTT and Mrs. johnson of Holmes
county, Ohio, eloped, and Mrs. Scott and
Mr.. johnson did the same thing. All the
parties met Unexpectedly at railway sta
ton, Mrs. Scott and Mrs. johnson had a
free fight the ribbons, bonnets and fxings
few, and so excited Mr.. Scott and Mr..
johnson that they punched each other
briskly, to the great delectation of a large
crowd Of bystanders, who thought the
policeman's stopping the " mill an i'm
proper interference. The Scots and John.
sons were brought to the bar of justice and
fined SIS each, which they paid, then in
dulged in the application of a goodly
number of hard words and names to each
other, and finally separated, Scott and Mrs.
johnson taking the B. and L. Railroad, and
johnson and Mrs. Scott the P, Fl. w. and
G. Railroad. Since then nothing has been
heard Of their journeyings.

Union with the requisite population as free
States, and all south of the same to come in
as slave States.
s. To amend the Constitution SO as to guar.
antee forever to all the States the free naviga-
ton of the Mississippi River.
6. To alter the Constitution SO as to give the
South the power, say in the United States

and oppressive legislation upon the subject of
slavery.

Insurrectionary Movements.

There have been ten specific attempts to
defy the authority of the Federal Govern
ment since the formation.
The first was in 1882, and was a con.
spiracy of some of the officers of the federal
army to consolidate the thirteen States into
one, and confer the supreme power on
WASHINGTON.
The second was in 1887, called 4" Shay's
Insurrection," in Massachusetts.
The third was in 1894, popularity called
1.-The Whisky Insurrection Of Pennsyl.
vania."
The fourth instance was in 1914, by the
Hartford Convention Federalists.
The fifth, on which occasion the different
sections of the Union came into collision,
was in 1920, under the Administration of
President MONROE, and occurred on the
question of the admission of Missouri into
the Union.
The sixth was collision between the
Legislature of Georgia and the Federal
Government, in regard to certain lands
given by the latter to the Greek Indians.
The seventh was in 1920 with the Chero-
KEGS in Georgia.
The eighth was the memorable Multiplying
Ordinance of South Carolina in 1882.
The ninth was in 1912, and occurred in
Rhode Island between the " Suffrage Asso.
citation" and the State authorities.
The tenth was in 1856, on the part of the
Mormons, who resisted the Federal au-
thority.

How to Settle the Disagreement OF
North and South In the Present

To the Editors of the Pioneer and Democrat
In answer to this question, it is plain that
the whole difficulty arises out of our regula--
lions and disposition of Territories prior to
their formation as new States in the Union.
If the Territories cease to be such by their
Transformation into States the difficulty is at
once removed. Cannot this be done at once?
Congress has ample power under the Con-
stitution. Why would it not be practicable
as we'll as expedient to draw line between
our northwestern territory and our southern
territory and organize and admit the same
as two new States into the Union. Say,
take Kansas and all the territory north and
west for one State, and New Mexico and
Utah for the other State, or adopt such
line as would fairly divide the whole into
two States and admit them at once.
The Territories being once merged into
States and gone, the vexed question is gone,
and the ground of dissolution has no longer
auy EXISTENCE.
The South could not complain, because
the two new States, from their geographic
cal position would keep up the balance of
interests between the North and South.
The North could not object for the same
reason.
No principle is compromised by the diff
ferent political parties of the country. The
magnitude of the territories as compared
with other States, is of little consequence,
as the equal representation in the Senate
of each State retains the equilibrium of
power between the States without regard to
territorial limits, and the population of the
States is the proper criterian of influence in
the general government.
Such a result would obviate the restora-
tion of a compromise line, which under the
Supreme Court decision in the bred Scott
case would not be binding, and therefore
could not settle the question. 1t would not
require an amendment to the Constitution,
which would be dangerous, inexpedient,
and perhaps impracticable. 1t would not
initiate against the interest of the general
government, because the latter only parts
with jurisdiction, retaining her preparatory
rights to the public domain, and is rid of
the expenses of governing territories. Might
not such proposition be successful, and
pour oil on the troubled waters?
A VOICE FROM MINNESOTA.
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1860-12-28

They say Ton CoRw1N has bought the
Natioual Intenigencer, and that he will make
it Mr.. L1NcoLN's organ, doing the grinding
himself. We don't know how much truth
there is in the story, but if it be true, mark
our prediction-ToM will fail. He will not
fail from lack of talent, for he has large
stock of that, but because he is inexperi-
enced, knowing no more of editorial life
than King Solomon, the wisest of men,
knew of crinoline, though with the substi-
tute for crinoline that prevailed in the up
per circles of Jerusalem, Solomon must
have been very familiar.

CAPTURE OF A ROBBER UNDER DIFFICULT
r1Es.-The Olney Qn.) correspondent of
the Vincennes Sun, gives the following &C.
count of the arrest of Thread, the mail.rob.
Der in that place few days ago:
Pm. Cullen, of Olney, notified Gilmore,
special agent, of the whereabouts of Thread,
the mail-robber whose presence was much
desired at Springfield before dissolution
of the Union made the United States Courts
of no account. Last night Gilmore, Sheriff
Johns, Constable Lynch, and two or three
others, took hack for Edwards county, a
few miles north of Albion, to investigate
the house of one Peters, the brother-in-law
of Thread, where it was reported Thread
was secreted.
About midnight the posse arrived, and
after secreting their axes and other deadly
weapons about the premises, opened the un-
locked door, entered Threads room, pulled
him out of bed, and bandcuffed him in
moment, amidst the cries of Oh, sister! Pc.
tiers! Help! Murder!
Mrs. Peters, who is a young, athletic wo-
man, struck the floor in her nightgown like
she tiger-gave scream and called Bull!
seized hickory stick and laid out Gil.
more timber and helpless. The dog follow
ed and took Johns by the leg. Peters
caught Lynch and downed him-a French
man of the company come to his rescue-a
blow with the fearful stick aimed at Johns
head, caught in the heorine's nightgown,
and saved the head of that "public function

was thrown in-brought to Olney, and is
now on his way to Springfield by railroad.
