URUGUAY.-A Buenos Ayres letter of No,
vember p says General FLORES, Provisional
Governor of Uruguay, has issued an edict
postponing the elections of the Republic for
one year. 1t is believed that good results
will flow from this action. The country had
just emerged from a revolution when Brazil
demanded its services in the war against Par-
aguay, in return for assistance rendered TO
the successful revolutionary party. General
FLORES rallied what men he could, went to
the front, and fought till his men and means
were exhausted, and then returned home
He then, after consultation with his cabinet
decided in view of the unsettled condition OF
the country, to issue the edict above referred
to. The work Of improving and regenerating
the country has been entered upon, and
there is prospect that FLORES will be sus-
tained in his course. The provisional gov
ernment has not been recognized by the Uni
ted States, so that there is no exchange of
courtesies between the two Republics.
Neither has consuls in the ports of the other,
although the services of these officers are
much needed.

sENATORIAL REFLECTIONS.

Soldiers who never feared the cold steel
or cold lead Of rebels shudder at the two
words which constitute our caption. Yester-
day the Senate slaughtered one of its own.
Senator CowAN, who was nominated for Min.
lister to Austria, was rejected. Several other
reflections were made. Many nominations
were received and referred. No confrma-
tions were made. The nominations Of Gen.
DIX and Mr.. BANCROFT were not considered
q" Rumor" says the latter declines to be a
candidate, and that his name has been with
drawn. Time will tell all things.

The New Orleans Times gives an encour.

The New Orleans Times gives an encour.
aging account of the condition of the freed.
men of Louisiana. Having got fairly over
the Christmas holidays, they have returned
to work in apparently better faith than at
any time since their emancipation. The
contracts, which assure them portion of
the crop, seem to be more efiectual in induc-
ing regularity of work than the largest
wages that can be offered. This is better for
both parties, as it identifies their interests
and conduces to harmony. The first object
of the freedmen seems to be the instruction
of their children. If the means are not pro-
vided them on the plantations where they
work, they send them to the nearest towns
or other places where rreedmen's schools
happen to be established.

Mr.. ChandIer's Speech.

In the Senate on Monday, Mr.. Chandler
INDUCED in violent philippe against the
President for his appointment of Provisional
Governors, and introduced a resolution i'll
quiring into his authority to make such ap-
pOintments.
Mr.. Chandler admitted the right of the
President, under the laws of war, TO appoint
Military Governors, but the right to appoint
Provisional Governor he held to be uncon-
stitutOnal. He said that in making such
appointments, the President had rendered
himself liable to impeachment. Mr.. Chan
dler then proceeded to make other accuse
tlons against the President, for which he de-
clared he was impeachable. After exhaust
ing his wind, and the patience of the Senate,
Mr. Chandler sat down, and the Senate laid
his motion on the table,-M Y, Commercial

WE are most happy. to learn, says the
Rome (Ga.) Courier, that the unprecedented
large crop of wheat sown in this section of
country looks remarkably well. As general
thing the crop was well planted, and the hard
freezes and deep SHOWS we have had are con,
sidered altogether favorable to its prosperity
and productiveness. So far as present ap.

have one of the largest yields in this i'm.

the bust was removed to the custom-house
building, and placed permanently on pc

Mr.. Kennedy's scottish vocaiism.

Metzerott Hall was very we'll filed last
evening considering the bad weather and a
session Of both Houses Of Congress, and Mr.
KENNEDY, the famous Scotch vocalist, gave
us an entertainment in which was combined
and commingled excellent singing and the
most felicitous preludes explanatory Of the
songs Of Scotland given on the occasion.
Mr.. KENNEDY has a sonorous voice, CON-
pletely under control, and he possesses
dramatic power in the delivery of his songs
which is gift as rare as it is effective.
During his performance we noticed that the
utmost satisfaction was manifested by the
entire audience, while the Scotchmen were
fairly overrunning with genuine enthusiasm

THE TARIFF.

The tariff Is mixed question. Some bill
will pass. While almost every member is
opposed to the bill in its present shape, yet
a majority of the members will probably
vote for it because one or more constituents
of his has some speciality at stake, The bill
as whole ought not to become law. 1t is
