ment. The Emperor OF Austria Is very sc yerey
wounded, and has sent srOup protest 20 our
Cabinet. The historian Bancroft ias turned out
TO be the e. font terrible OF the Un1ed States. He
las been guilty OF telling the truth ut ON ole OF
those state OCCASIONS ahen the truln ls ordin9-
rilv yelled beneath polite phrases ana honeyed
condiments. lie has bluntly and plainly eN-
pressed the real sentiments of the American
people, IN striking contrast 90 TO ro lndlOout
fcebleness OF secretary Stewards plonltic

The entant terrible, as most of our readers
know, is one of those surprisingly b1gnt aud
sharp children Who reveal the secreGs of the
household in the most unexpected manner to
the most inappropriate per onS. One lady
calls upon another, who greets her very Sarnly,
and eXclaims, CHOW glad | am TO see YOU!
Now is the opportunity of the eTfdW terrible.
Staring the visitor full in the face, and with
that charming and innocent plicity 80 char
acterstic ot childhood, be qulrtiI observes,
''Why, mamma, how can you say that? You
know that you told papa this morning that this
lady was hight; thaC you hated the sight of
her, and felt like scratching her ugly eyes out"
What follows may be easily imagined. 1t is the
same sort OF tempest that has followed the de-
4 livery OF Panc1ofts orttiCn. The representa-
tivee-oi tbs European powers assem- Oled at the
Capitol to listen to.a eulogy upon President Lin
coin.
They came in full dress, and expected to have
a very nice time. or course they knew that
Lincoln would be praised; but they anticipated
that, as is usual upon such occasions, few
su gar pums would be distributed among the
audience. They were politely received and con-
Quoted to prominent seats. Wee president Fos-
ter. as the lady OF the house, greeted them with
the customary compliments. Then came the
turn OF the enfdnt terrible Bancroft arose. and
the fun began. lie declared that England was
a goodior-nothing, worn-out Government He
told Napoleon that he must Get out OF Mexico,
OF take the consequences. He stigmatlzed Maxi
milan as t'an Austrian advenlurer." Naturally
the representatives OF foreign Powers felt Indig-
nant. They had received more tnan they had
bargained Tor. They wrote fearful dispatches
back to heir home Governments. irhe irghttul
fuss in Europe is I nC result.
But, now tnaC the thing Is all over what are
the powers OF Europe go no TO do aO jut 1T Our
ea Jdnt terrible told the ruth. and even though
We administer to him little salutary correction
in private, we shall certainly stand up for him
in public The British Government has behaved
very badly, and is wOrn-ou( institution. Ma
poleon has no right in Mexico, and he must
withdraw his II oops and respect the public SER
timent of the United Sates-a nation which has
been upon the most am cable terms with France,
and wishes TO continue those friendly relations,
II Napoleon will permit it by relinquishlng his
Mexican projects. As for MaXimiAn, il he 5p
not an Austrian adventurer what is he? A
prince who leaves his home in Europe qQd is
forced upon the Mexican people, against The lr
consent, by !eIeign baYonets, is certainly de-
serving of no better title. II the Emperor of
Austria feels so very angry upon this sub.
ject let him show his resentment in the only
practicable way Suppose that he requests Ma
poleon to Withdraw the French army from
Mexico, and then undertakes to support Maxi
milan with Austrian soldiers. Napoleon would
be pleased wit b this arrangement, Tor it would
eXtricate him from dangerous dilemma. We
should not be dispeased with it, for if we are
obliged to fight somebody in order to restore The
republic of Mexico, we would much rather teht
Austrians, who are total strangers to us, than
Frenchmen, with whom we have many bonds of
amity. Francis Joseph ought not to dislike this
plan; for it would bring his whIte-coated troops
face to face with our boys in blue, and enable him
to get rid of great deal Of bad boodthat excited
by the Bancio OFT Grafton included. II this scheme
be not adopted we cannot suggest any other
mode to satisfy Europe. We shall certainly not
| surrender Bancroft TO the British who would
| blow hun from the mouth OF cam IN as they
| did the Sepoys and are going to do with the
| Fenians. The French cannot have him at any
price, for the reports OF their crueties in Mexico
have already pushed our patience to the limits
| And sooner than cntrusU him to the tender mer
| cies of Austria we will stir up another Hunga
rian rebellion and send the House of Hapsbure
| to its mansion in the skies--or elsewhere.
