promises TO a-cran1ize the Great Republic.
The insanity Of the Empress CarIotia, OF which
there would app-ar 70 be no doubt, Is an IN
fortunate event: but what other termination
could be expected from such an unwise. and
wretched farce a. thar which she and her nus
band have been seduced into? The only wonder
is that Macmillan remains sane. Theirs forms
one of those unfortunate, pi,iable cases. where
the whole world turns the cold shoulder, leaving
them to be the laughing stock and ridicule Of
all. No wonder CarlottA Is insane.
The reports received from Europe. says the
Union, through various channels, Of the hope

broader foundation OF fact than the retainers Of
the BonaTarte dynasty wish the world 10 believe.
The Berlin correspondent Of the New York Tn
54ne, who Is one Of the Liberal leaders Of Prus-
STA, writes that the chief surgeon Of the Prussian
army was summoned TO Biarritz TO consult with
the Emperor's physicians about the performance
Of an operation upon the Imperial person. On
the llth Of October = dispatch was received from
the Prussian Embassy, stating that NaPoleons
recovery was impossible. Few events would
create 4 more profound sensation or be attended
with more important consequences than the
death of the French Emperor. 1t is the essen
tial vice Of autOcratic systems that they leave the
peace Of the countries which suffer them depend
ent upon the life of an individual. France will
not tolerate q regency or the investment OF an
inferior man with the purple. NaPoleons adj
minis,rative genius and prestige have sustained
the empire in spite of the yearning of the people
for constitutional liberty. His genius has no
heir. There is no other BonaIarte qualified to
take the Office or uphold the system. 1t Is rea-
sonable to expect, therefore, that u revolution
will follow the Enperor's demise, and the most
probable outcome of such a CONFUSION Is a con-
stitutional monarchy, with Count Robert of
Paris. formerly of the Army of the Potomac, as
King. The Count is the candidate of both the
Orleanists and the Legitimists, who are now
acting together. Internal troubles will. for a
time at least. paralyze the influence of France
abroad and render England unable to check the
advance of Russia towards Constantinople. \
clear perception OF the necessary consequences of
Napoleon's demise explains the evident desire of
the Imperialists to cover up the trouble in regard
70 the progress of his disease.
The political situation of Austria, Prussia and
Italy is settling down on an apparently quiet
basis OF peace, though we see ii stated that some
of the Austrian Generals are itching for another
trial of arms. An attempt has been made at
Prague TO shoot the Emperor of Austria, which
was frpAtFSeatf-t ~ an EnEglishman. The annexa-
of Venetia TO Italy is soon to take Place

In England, the agitation of the suffrage ques-
ton increases with each month, and it is ap-

As a significant change in public sentiment. it
is stated that the London Times has another
strong article urging the reference of the AID
lama claims to a Joint Commission as q matter of
policy. Lord Stanley, Secretary of Foreign
Affairs, has declared in favor of this measure.
In American politics we observe hardly any

The new Congress will be even more strongly
:. RADICAL - that is, Republican, than the present
one. Whatever may be the Interior result, it
seems now almost certain that the representatives
of no Southern State Except Tennessee, which
has already complied with these prOvisions,) will
be admitted until the Constitutional Amend
ments are adopted by it, and loyal representa-
tiyes chosen in accordance with its provisions,
one of which fixes the actual voters as the basis
of representation. Consequently if there are
only 2OO. 900 voters in South Carolina, and 200,-
600 male negroes, she will not be entitled to four
representatives for her 400 600 males, but TO
only two for her actual voters, until such time
as she chooses 10 allow the Freedmen to vote. But
she will not be allowed to send any representa-
tiyes to Congress until the amendments are pass
cd by her Legislature. Thus it will be seen that
it depends wholly on the action of each South
ern State, how long it remains unrepresented in
Congress.

The Canadians are trying to make themselves
ridiculous over the Fenians. They have actually
tried and sentenced two persons to be hung
one a native of Kentucky, and the other an Irish
Catholic priest, who was called to administer
diving consolation to a wounded Fenian, at or
after one of the engagements. The hanging of
these men. especially the priest, will only aggra-
yate matters, and bring on Canada the curses Of
all Irishmen. If she wants a Fenian invasion,
that will leave desolation behind it, let her hang
