A TERRIBLE CaINoIISE REgoLUTIos--CAIL
FOR A NATIONAL C0svESTIoS.--The polite world
was quite astc nished On Tnursday when Qaeen
Fssbon gave out a vermilon edict to the effect
that, by and with the advice and consent of her
court, an entire change in tho form and trim
ming Of ladies' dresses had been resolved upon.
For more than } ear, we are told, this crino-
line revolution has been in progress. The con-
servatives resisted stCutly. but we're compelled
to give way at last. TIE secessionists have
carried the day. The gored skirt party has
tliumpbed. And what, we may be asked, is
the gored skirt 1t is the form of robe worn
BY our grandmothers in the time of the Revo-
luton. The difference between the dress Of
today and that Of eighty years ago Is very
slight. The waist is longer and the skirt fuller
in the new dress The material, we Opine, is
somewhat more costly now than then-an inn
portant matter in these hard times. 1t is very
odd that this crinoline revolution should have
been contaminated OF precisely the same mo-
ment that our political institutions are under
going radical change, and that while we have
been invoking the spirits of our Revolutionary
fathers to save the Union, the ladies have gone
back to the times Of their Revolutionary mothers
for the shape of their dress-a matter of the
very first Importance to the most of them.
The question arises too, whether or not the
ladies who are brief of stature and somewhat
inclined to emJonpoint will peacefully submit
to an innovation which is clearly for the exclu-
sive benefit Of tall and slender divinities. VIII
not the rebels call q convention, secede and set
up fashion of their own? And, in such case,
will the party in power resort to coercion? As
the government of the fashionable world is an
absolute despotism, any attempt at rebellion
will speedily be put down by force of arms,
we presume. The Southern ladies, however,
may take courage from the frmness displayed
by the lords of creation in their section, and re-
fuse to agree to the sweeping change which has
been resolved upon. AT any rate the ex-
element is tremendous, and there will be
an amount of talk altogether beyond
computation by any known rule of mathe-
matics The debates in the Peace Congress
will be nothing to the discussions among the
friends and opponents of the gored skirts.
Why not have National Crinoline Convention
to settle the whole question upon basis
satisfactory to all parties, long and short, fat
and lean!

Honest Abe Lincoln is going to evade the
constitutional duty of dividing the federal spoils
in the Southern States-including Virginia,
of course. We suppose that Old Abe is in
no hurry upon this subject, but that when the

over to the republican side, they will be invited
to sit down at the republican table and eat
something.

The RECENT POPULAR MANIFESTATIONS AT
WARsAw-PoLAND AGAIN GIVING SIGNS OF
LTE.-From the accounts published elsewhere,
it appears that the recent popular tumults in
Warsaw were of much more serious charac-
ter than at first represented. The Russian
soldery, who, since the affair of the 25th, had
occupied all the principal squares and streets
Of the city, attempted, on the 9th, to drive
back a funeral procession which was leaving
the Church of the Bernardins, and in the con-
fict that ensued elk leading citizens, who hap
pened to be crossing the street, were shot dead.
The excitement created by this event became
intense, and it was with the greatest difficulty
that the populace were restrained from gene
raj rising. A deputation, headed by Count
Zamoyski. Immediately waited upon Prince
Gortchakoff to complain against the military,
and TO demand that the safety of the inhabi-
tants should be assured On the 2Sth the boz
dies of the victims were paraded through the
streets and taken to the house of the French
Consul, who, however, refused to appear or
to take any part in the manifestation. On the
lst of March the troops, in accordance with an
assurance previously given by the Governor,
were confined to their barracks, and the fune-
raj Of The persons killed, followed by a cor
tege Of more than 1900 people, passed
quietly through the streets, the Russian pickets
presenting arms.
Thus terminated the disturbances arising out
Of this affair. Its after consequences, however,
are likely TO cause more trouble and uneasiness
TO the government than mere physical demon
sration. No sooner had the funeral ceremo-
MES taken place than a petition to the Emperor
was Immediately circulated, representing that
this tragical occurrence was one of the inevita-
BILE results Of system which deprived the
people of all legal power to bring before the
throne Of the sovereign their complaints and
wants, and demanding the restoration of the
constitution Of 1915. This document, which
we give in another column, was signed by an
immense number of citizens, headed by their
Marshals of the nobility. II is rendered still
more impressive by the fact that most Of the
Polish officials had given in their designations.
Thus, like the Emperos Of Austria, the Rus
sian autocrat is about to acquire the conviction
that no system OF centralized despotism can unite
into a homoge neous empire a number of
distinct nationalities, each having separate
language. traditions and customs. 1t is only
constitutional institutions that can give cohe-
sion to elements SO different and frequently 50
antagonistic Russia has made a great stride
towards these in the emancipation of her serfs
Until they were rendered Independent Of the
nobility no real advance could be made
towards their attainment. II is to be hoped
that this wise and bencfcent measure will soon
be followed by concessions which, in giving
the Poles what they seek for, will assure to
Russia generally the blessings Of representa-
tive system OF government.

New Jersey and New England. The imports
here viii be cut down to an Insignificant figure;
The manufactures in the New England States
will be seriously damaged, both business houses
and factories will be transferred to the South;
and, in fact, the Northern tariff adopted to pro-
tect the manufacturing interests Of the North
will have no interests left TO protect. The ac-
tual effect Of this tariff then, will be to reduce
the revenues Of the government at Washington
and increase the revenues Of the Southern
government
The Congress at Washington may attempt to
avert this course Of affairs even to the extent Of
inaugurating blockade Of all the Southern
ports; vessels Of war have been ordered home
from all the foreign stations to enable the ad-
ministrstion to be prepared for this policy;
but in such an event France and Eng
land would act as they did with regard to
Texas: they would acknowledge the indepen-
dence of the Southern confederacy, and send
their fleets across the Atlantic to open every
port in The South.
Thus we find the country involved in fear
full commercial revolution through the policy
of fanatical party, which, for thirty years, has
been endeavoling to overthrow all the best in
terests of the republic for the sake of an alb
straction. We see the whole current of com
mercial prosperity turned out of its channel
the wealth and Importance of the Northern
cities struck down at blow. We have expe-
rienced many commercial revulsions before
now from time to time-in 1917, 1925, 1887 and
1s57-bu these were the results of overtrading
of excessive speculation and other financial
causes which may produce like consequences
in any country. The present revulsion, on the
contrary, arises from purely political causes
and will be as disastrous in its effects as it is
novel in its origin.

The NUCLEUS OF A UNION PARTY.-We see it
stated in the papers that the United States
troops in Texas are to be detained there as the
nucleus for Union party. Their retention in
Texas viii serve rather ID the nucleus for a
fight and general war. They can do no good
in Texas. They had better be removed.
