The GREAT KESOLufIeN. speaking Of the
consequences of the rebellion, and the move
ment of public opinion. the New York Herald
observes:
1t is curious to note how the accidents of
the war and the blunders Of opposing poiti-
clans have assisted in the work of this groat
polite | rev o'uton. A decisive defeat of the
rebels at the first Bull Run might have saved
Southern slavery in the collapse of the JEFF
Davis Confederacy Had Mcclellan sue
ceeded at Richmond there would most likely
have been no Emancipation Proclamation
from President Lincoln. Had Andrew John
son, when called to take his place, convened
Congress for the legislative work of Southern
reconstruction, instead of undertaking it
himself, the States concerned would doubt
less have been restored upon halfway
compromise on negro suffrage Had those
States followed the example of Tennessee,
they would now be in Congress on the same
terms. Had the Democrats in the House
voted for this last bill as it came from the
Senate, they would have secured to the lead
ing rebels the privilege now denied them, of
assisting in rebuilding their respective States.
As one failure in the war in defense Of slave
~ brought about the extirpation of slavery,
so all our failures in halfway plans of resto-
ration have worked out full and decisive
settlement on the basis of civil and political
equality.

The Tennessee Election.

From the Times.
The triumph of the Brownlow faction proves
only the success with which it has manipu-
lated the registration of voters. As an indioa-
tion of State feeling or policy it amounts to
nothing When man in Office possesses the
power Of disfranchising his opponents, his
election or reelection can be considered only a
sign Of thorough, unscrupulous work, not of
moral strength or personal or political popu-
laIity. And when he Outrages propriety by
appointing candidates as registrars, and so
enabling them to adapt the lists to their own
convenience, the fact of their election follows
as regularly as night follows day. Indeed, the
Tennessee election was on the whole, mean
ingless formality. With four-ffths of the
whites disfranchised, and with the registration
altogether in the hands of Brownlow and his
men, what signifies the vote of Thursday last2
For similar reasons, what Importance at
taches to the absence of the riot and blood
shed which were widely feared That the
election passed off quietly is a good ground of
rejoicing But the cause of the quiet ought
not to be overlooked. 1t was not Brownlow or
his volunteers who preserved order, nor the
superior strength of the victors, nor the peace
full disposition of the people. To United
States troops belongs the praise. General
Thomas, acting under instructions from Gene
RAJ NIdnt, was tne great peace-lnaker OF Ille
day. His arrangements restrained the ILL
blood which exists on both sides, and rem
dered orderly what would otherwise have been
scenes OF violence and strife. The circum-
stance is not particularly gratifying. 1t is not
pleasant to reflect that Federal bayonets are
indispensable auxiliaries of an election in
state supposed TO be reconstructed. But so 1t
is, and we may as we'll recognize it frankly.
The condition of Tennessee is, then, to-day,
as it was week ago-volcanio; SO evidently
explosive that it must continue a source of
most painful anxiety. On one side, Brownlow,
with all the insolenoe of power, and with the
State organization in his hands; ON the other,
the Rebel Democratic element, angry, aggres-
sive, kept down only by soldiers, Between

The New War Cloud in Europe.

From The Herald.
The French and German journals have COM
menced to handy words on the subject of the
political relations existing between the two
countries, and to discuss the probable inten-
tions of Napoleon and King William for war or
peace in very off-handed manner, and in
language by no means courteous-scarcely,
indeed, polite. From Berlin to Paris, and
from Paris to Berlin, in reply, the newspaper
writers appear to be engaged in throwing dirt
at each other in the name of the two nations,
and thus assist in charging more completely
with explosive materials the war cloud which
is gathering over the Continent.
Our cable dispatches and special correspond
ence during the past three weeks have shown
pretty clearly that Napoleon is making prepa-
rations for war; purchasing cavalry horses on
large scale, driving his military workshops
night and day, and Fastening on the work on
his unfinished iron-clads with great activity.
The German Bourses became excited and the
London Change distrustful This state of
affairs engaged the attention of the Prussian
official organs in Berlin, and it was quickly
