Tx Radicals Of Washington county

DEGExERAOY OF THE SENATE.

The United States Senate has fallen
from its high estate. A few years ago
the people were advised with entire con
fdence to "look to the Senate when a
crisis was upon the country. Then it
was regarded as the most dignifed legis-
lative body in the world Now it is
largely Radical and Republican, and a
Republican journal, the New York
Times, usshows how il has degenerated
"The Senate, it seems, finding itself in
competent to the task, has devolved the
duty of acting on the Presidents nomina-
tions upon the member of the House in
whose district the nominee resides This
NAV strike the reader as incredible, but it
is said to be true. The Senate, in the first
place, refers the question to the Senators
from the SLATE concerned, and the two Sen
ators, feeling unequal TO the responsibility,
refers it TO the member froA the district
most directly involved. This is certainly
bringing things down to the lowest level.
The constitution provides that officers shall
be appointed by the President by and with
the advice and consent of the Senate. The
new system provides that no man shall be
appointed to any Office, except by the adj
vice and consent Of the member of the
House whose reelection he can have
direct agency in ehecting To that depth
of party subservencies the Senate has sunk
already !"

EuRoPEAN WAR cLouDs.

That there is an uneasy feeling per-
vading the public mind Of the rulers and
people of Europe, on the prospect of a
general war, there can be no doubt The
monetary Sinterests, the most sensitive to
danger, have been several weeks in an
anxious state, though not having reached
the feverish point. These feelings have
reacted upon this country to certain
extent and the chances and prospects of
European war have become leading
topic Of discussion by the American
press. We are in greater financial sym
pHthy with our transatlantic friends, and
more deeply interested in their continued
peace than at any previous period Dc
curing events in the old world, therefore,
excite general attention.
Our Geographic news this morning
embraces facts of warlike preparations
on a grand scale by all the chief powers
Of Europe, which viii not tend to allay
the appehensions created by the brief
cable kilograms for the past six weeks.
These preparations are earnest and active,
and decidedly indicate a war on gigan-
tic scale-possibly before the approach
ing simmer and fall are gone Tne most
constant observers of continental affairs,
express the opinion that the war will
not break forth the present year Prus-
STA requires time for recuperation, and
especially for the consolidation of the
new powers brought under her juris-
diction by the contest of last year.
Austria will need time TO repair
the disasters of her late defeat. Italy
will be content to organize her new
acquisitions, and come to final under
standing upon the jurisdiction of the
Holy See, France is profoundly engaged
with the Universal Exposition, and Napo
