The Double Congress.

From the Tribune.
The country must not lose sight Of the threats
of the President and his folio gers to plunge us
afresh into o new and terrible civil war by con-
stituting and recognizing a bogus House of Rep
resentatives, made up of johnson minority of
the members legally entitled to seats combined
with those chosen from the States which with
drew their members from Congress, and des-
perately strove to destroy the Union. Having
been utterly discomhted in the bloody struggle
thus inaugurated, they now propose to propose
to return to Congress in defiance of subsisting
law, and to constitute House made up OF eighty
or ninety Johnsonites from loyal States, and
forty or fifty chosen by the States not vet read
mitted to representation. AS the Republicans,
IT 1s fairly presumed, will not submit to this, 1t
is eagerly calculated that the flames of civil war
will thus be- relighted, and that the North will
be visited with calamltes like to those she
recently inflicted on the South.
This scheme cannot work unless quorum OF
Copperhead Representatives, including those
from the ex-Rebel States, can be secured at the
pending elections. The fifty Johnsonites (or
thereabout) in the present House (including the
Tennesseeans) must be swelled to seventy, or
they will not suffice, with the tfty-two from the
ten States not yet restored to power in Congress-
to make quorum. Unless these twenty shall
be gained in the ensuing elections in the loyal
States, the plot must fail.
Will the people give the Johusonites the
IWeuIy gains lney must nave 10 endDIe Jneln 10
disorganize Congress and inaugurate fresh
civil war? Where are those twenty gains to be
| made? Concede that the Rebel vote cast in de-
| tiance of law in Maryland and Missouri is good
for five OF them, where will they gain the fifteen
| still wanting? Shall New York or Pennsylva-
mia, Indiana or Ohio, contribute most TO make
| up the requisite number?
We call upon the people everywhere to ques
\ tion the rival candidates for Congress sharply
| and closely on this head. Let us know precisely
| which candidates, If elected, will take part in
organizing House made up in part of men by
law disqualified to sit. After what the Presi-
| dent has said of Northern traitors" and in dis
paragement of Congress as invalid and usurplng,
the people should insist on knowing exactly
what each candidate VIII do if elected and called
| to choose between two Houses-one of 10(
to 120 members chosen wholly from loyal States
| and the other of seventy members from those
States and fifty-two from the ten which, having
been deeply involved IN the Rebellion, have moi
| yet been readmitted to Congress. Let each bt

TO save any kind OF sovereignty for the Pope
must lead TO serious difficulties with Italy,
while her non-nterference in Italian affairs
would settle the German question IN less than
month, and give to Europe new guarantee OF
peace
In conclusion, the circular hints at the we'll
known opinions of Napoleon concerning the
nationality question. IL the doctrine which is
expressed IN the circular was sincerely carried
out, II people of the same language and tnte-
rests which are now separated from the main
trunk of their nation were allowed to rejoln
their kindred, the nationality principle would
become the redress OF the greatest wrongs
which have been suffered by European peoples,
and the most efficient preparation for O lasting
peace But in the present position of European
politics the nationality doctrine is oftener used
by ambitious princes as a pretext for acts of
violence than by uninterested statesmen as a
means to promote harmony between nations,
and to promote the interests OF peace. In the
mouth of Napoleon the reassertion of this prin-
ciple may, therefore, mean either an appeal to
the sympathies of the noblest patriots of the
European countries, or loophole for returning,
when a suitable opportunity offers, from the
professions of peace to the arbitrament OF the
sword.
The failing health of Napoleon makes it pro.
bable that he is more intent upon securing the
continuance of his dynasty than upon risking
uncertain wars. While at a more favorable
iuncture of circumstances he would hardly resist
the temptation to risk war for the rectifcailon
of the French frontier there are many reasons
to believe that his present professions of peace
able designs are sincere.

The Napoleonio Manifesto.

&TOW HIc ITtOuHe.
Paris kilograms of the 18th and 18th of Sep
tember inform us that the French Government
has issued the manifesto on the recent occur
TenCes in Europe, which has for some time been
expected. 1t is in the form of a circular, and
has, according to general belief, been drawn up
by Napoleon himself.
The abstract OF the circular which is given by
the cable telegram is too brief and obscure to
convey fully the meaning and significance of
this important document. It's main object, how
ever, is clearly to assure Europe of the tho
roughly pacific intentions of Louis Napoleon.
1t goes so far as to represent the recent changes
in Europe as favorable to France. 1t again an
nounces that the Franco-Italian Convention,
faithfully carried out. Finally, it again hints,
as the despatch says, at "the annexation OF
people of the same language and interests TO
any OF the powers of Europe.n
The pacific spirit of the circular is in full
accord with. the policy professed by France
during the last month. Whatever may have
been the character of the negotiations between
france and Prussia, concerning the cession OF
territory by the latter to the former-the matter
Is still far from being cleared up-from the time
when the Prussian Government declared its de-
termination not to cede an inch of German soil
all the public manifestations of the French
Government nave protessed a desire to maintain
peace, and an acquiescence in the successes OBJ
tanned by Prussia and Italy. The resignation
OF Drouyn de Lhuys had, according to the
common belief of the Paris press, the same
meaning, Drouyn de Lhuys, who, during his
whole political life has been anxious to be on
good terms with the Catholic party, was be.
Heyed to sympathize strongly with Austria and
with the Pope, and 10 be ON that account very
determined opponent of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
OF Prussia and OF the evacuation of Rome The
circular assures us, with regard to these two
important questions, that France will take nC
offense at the growth of Prussia, and no Longer
force the temporal dominion of the Pope upor
an unwilling people.
If these assurances could be accepted will
entire confidence, they would indeed remov,
some of the greatest dangers to the peace O
Europe. No one can doubt that the PrussiaI
Government and the German people will con
time their efforts for completing the nationa
unity of Germany, with or without the eonsen
of France. II France at any future time shoul,
try to interfere in this movement, 1t must, with
out fail, bring on fearful struggle. On tn
contrary, if France will allow the Germans Il
enjoy the same national unity which has lon
been enjoyed by England, France, Spain, Rus
sia, and other nations, the Germans will 500

The Prcsiaent's Organ ON tho Ma
tiOuNl Convention.

The National Republican Of yesterday
has the following remarks upon the Phila-
dclphia Convention, which We commend to
the attention Of those who arc fearful that
the Democratic party will be swallowed
up by the Republicans:
"The tenderness with which some Of our
Radical friends express their fears that the
members Of the Union party who go into
the philadelphia Convention will be swal-
lowed up by the Coppcrheads and South
crn rebels is at times quite overcoming TO
us. We almost shudder At the idea, and
our mind reverts To the sad fate oi Jonah.
Then we turn 10 the Democratic papers,
and VIC find consolation in the fact that
some of them express the same fear aoout
their brethren, namely, that they will be
swallowed up by the National Union party,
members of which initiated and called the
Philadelphia Convention. With fear and
trembling. We have looked about 10 asccr-
tain who will he the whale and who will be
Jonah. We don't think cathartic would
damage either the Union or Democratic
party Just at this time. II matters very
little which party at Philadelphia is the
whale or which is Jonah. After the Sc
ceS>ion of Jonah, we have no journalistic
accounts of the movements OF the whale.
Whether il died or swallowed another
lo,red, is not stated"
The Republican then rehcarscs the his
tory Of various coalitions which succeeded
in defeating the old parties, and concludes
thus:
"There are as good fish in the sea as
were ever caught. We are now willing to
make another coalition for these high, ma
tional purposes, if necessary. And 10 that
end We welcome men To the Philadelphia
Convention from every State in the Union
who can endorse the principles Of the call.

TERRIBLE AFFAIR NEAR MARION, Ala
a WOMAN AND CHILD BEATEN To DEATH.-
The Marion Commonwealth of Thursday
refers to The fact that Mrs. Mary kenning-
ton, living near Marion, was brutally out
ragged by IA negro last July, who was ar
rested, but subsequently escaped, and was
heard OF no more until about ten days ago,
when he WAS recognized in the neighbor-
hood, and thus gives the sequel
On the night OF the 2Ist ultimo, about 9
o'clock, some person unknown entered the
residence OF Mrs. Remington, and with
some blunt piece of iron-probably a
hatchet-crushcd her skull TO pieces. The
murderer then attacked the children,
htlle boy and little girl, aged respec-
lively eight and ten years. The skull OF
the boy he crushed in two places, but
failed, a, the surgeon thinks, to intlict fatal
injuries upon the girl. In the house at the
Saline time was a very old lady, the grand
mother, we believe, of Mrs. Remington,
and her daughter, Becky Narramore, an
aunt of Mrs. Remington. The skull OF
the latter was crushed 10 pieces above the
eyebrows, but the presence OF the old lady
in the house not being suspected, she es-
capped. When the bodies of the dead and
wounded were found next morning, Mrs.
Remington was lying across her bed, her
legs swinging OFT a. though she had been
in the act OF rising when struck down. The
blood from her crushed skull had run
through the mattress upon which she
was lying, and formed puddle upon the
floor. Persons who witnessed the scene
Say it was shocking beyond expression.
The negro has since been arrested, and is
now in Perry county Jail.
