When we further remember that the convention
itself, that nominated the ticket. refused to in
struct the nominees on the question of abolition.
having laid upon the table resolution for that
purpose, we are sure that the Council will not
err in considering itself untrammeled. and in
using the largest liberty ON this question. This
we hope it will do, giving to the matter full and
fair consideration.
The consideration Of the question of abolition.
however, is but one of the duties of the Council
if it shall observe the requirements OF the Const-
tuition. 1t has to inquire whether the Constitu.

PoLHIoAL,-The Philadelphia Press, in com
menting upon the well-grounded confidence
which the people have in Secretary Boutwell,,
truly says the whole secret of his administration
is to collect as much revenue and to pay of as
much debt as possible. And the short way to
this is to cut down the expenses and to employ
none but honest officers.
A call has been issued in Mississippi earnestly
requesting that the people, regardless of past
memories, political or of race, meet together in

~ The tlss returns Of the elections now in
progress throughout the French Empire show
that the opposition have made great progress,
and will double their strength in the new Cham
Der OF Deputies. The most trusted and widely
known leaders of the opposition, Jules Faue,
Garnier-Pages, Jules Simon, Eugene Pelletan,
and others, are returned. Theirs and Olivier are
among the defeated. Thepowor of the opposition
in the last Chamber was not in their numbers
but in their activity, and in their merciless ex-
posure of the weaknesses of the empire With
the support of a respectable number of members,
they will be able to carry the war into the heart
Of the empire, and assail it in its strongholds.

CUBAN SYMrArnY.--Rey. II. W Beechcr, in
reading his notices last Sunday, observed, in re-
lation to an announcement Of an entertainment
for the benefit of the Cuban insurrectonists, that
if any people were justified in throwing off gov
ernment the people of Cuba were in releasing
themselves from the yoke Of Spain, and if any
people deserved freedom it was the Cubans. If
they did fail he would say that they ought to have
striyen; ought to have succeeded. If they sue
ceeded, many Of the newspapers so blatant about
the insurrectionists would turn round and adulate
them for their heroism and selfdenial Such were
the changes contingent upon the success or fail
ure even of good cause.

| for the celebration. General Grant had issued
an executive order, closing all the Departments

roads from the ends Of the Long Bridge and Aque-

the gardens Of the wealthy, and the back yards Of
