The final result of the Paris conference,
called to settle the Turco-Greek difficulty
difficulty which is continually subjected to
the settling process, and which as continu-
ally breaks out afresh, after gabbling diplo-
mats fatter themselves that it is quietly laid
at rest for an indefinite period-is that King
George and the people whom King George
was called to rule about two years ago, have
got into difficulty with each other, the peo-
pie not having wholesome respect for the
opinion of the great powers; and the king
having great regard for the safety of his
newly acquired crown. The conference came
to conclusion which was not at all favorable
to the pretensions of the Greeks, especially
with reference to the island OF Crete, and
hence the population of Greece are dissatis-
fed with the decision and by no means dis
posed to acquiesce In it. The king, on the
contrary, understands that if he declines to
accede to the required conditions he win, in
all probability, involve himself in war which
he will not be able to conduct except at the
cost of certain failure. Probably King George
viii finally have his own way at last; although
he may lay up for himself q measure of odium
and unpopularity equal to that which cost
King Otho his throne.

i" =. e
! For the first time in the history of the
United States government, the two houses OF
Congress have assumed to revise the electoral
colleges in advance Of the count of their votes.
This they do as an act of plenary authority ad-
mitting of no appeal. The concurrent resolu-
tion relative to the presidential vote Of Geor-
gia, without practical consequence as it is
upon the general result, would seem solely in
tended as broad precedent to cover the as
sumption that Congress may discharge from
the electoral colleges the electors of one or
more of the States, though chosen according
to all the conditions of constitutional and
technical regularity. The momentous char
acter of this stretch of power is particularly
manifest in the fact that the resolution refer
red to is held by its authors to be complete
and effectual without the signature of the
President 1t is needless to say that, by the
terms of the Constitution, no bill, resolution,
or vote of Congress can have force unless it
be submitted to the President for him to ap-
prove or disapprove as he may see proper
If the two houses concur in de-
claration purporting to purge the electoral
colleges to any extent and upon any pretext
they will not be likely to shrink from carry
ing out The prrgation VIXEN they meet for the
purpose of counting the votes opened In their
presence by the president Of the Senate. The
usurpation is one of those against which the
Constitution provides no distinct remedy.
Congress, if it desired and dared, could, by
manipulating the returns laid before it. take
the election from the choice of the majority
of the States, and give it to the opposing cam
didate, and nothing could defeat the fraud
but the forcible seizure of the executive Office
by the rightful claimant. Thus it is that in
this, as in all their previous innovations, the
Republican msjorities of Congress have as
serted theory which logically involves the
necessity of violence as the ruling force in the
government, instead of the supremacy of
recognized law. 1t is possible that
they desire in this way to impress
Gen. Grant, with the vast extent of the Con-
gressional power which goes SO far, under
their theory, as to place in their hands the
whole question of his election to the presi-
dency. But have they thought of the use
which Democratic Congress might make of
this precedent? Have they considered that
Democratic Congress would have abundant
grounds, on general principles of justice, for
rejecting the electoral votes of all the spurious
and rotten State governments which they
have created for partisan purposes, and that
their protests against the act might be choked
down their insincere throats with this prece-
dent of their own furnishing? There is some
thing here that should give them pause,
surely. 85as t.sas - s3rs1-sT

So the large real estate owners who were
going to monopolize the government of the
city of New Orleans seem likely to be "hoist
with their own petard," or to have the
poisoned chalice commanded to their own
lips, or to encounter some other such retri-
butive fate. Mr.. John Ray, putative senator,
is to introduce bill providing for the govern
ment of New Orleans, which bill is the same
as that contrived by the real estate owners,
with single exception-that the governor is
to appoint the mayor and the administrators.
This is what the amiable gentlemen who so
kindly consent to relieve the people of this
city Of the charge of their own affairs will
finally bring upon us-a government of car
pet-baggers, chosen by carpetbag governor.
We do not suppose that they contemplated
this result when they began their movement;
but if they presumed that the carpet-baggers
would legislate for their benefit instead of
their own, they displayed an amount OF SIM
plicity which is sufficient proof of their unfit
ness for the task which they have assumed

In recent debate in the House on the
question of taxing U. S. bonds, Mr.. Holman,
of Indiana, referred to the fact that the House,
at its last session, had voted in favor Of the
proposition. whereupon Mr.. Schenck re-
piled that " the House of Representatives is a
mighty uncertain body, and that the action
referred to was taken on the eve of a general
election" Schenck knows his Radical col
leagues, and he knows that they are an un-
scrupulous set Of political swindlers and char
latans. but it was not to be supposed that he
would turn States evidence against them so

There is about to be new turn in Tennes-
see politics. occasioned by the supposed de-
termination of Mr.. johnson to run for gov
ernor. Already there are indications of a
split in the Republican party, and of an aIli-
ance between one wing Of that party and the
Democrats. The ostensible cause of the
threatened secession of the more moderate
Republicans is the audacious and wicked
policy pursued by Brownlow and some of his
adherents. The dissidents want to take ad-
vantage of Mr.. Johnson's strength with the
people of Tennessee, and they hope by his
aid, to accomplish the overthrow of the Brown
low gang. Their professed object is to
restore peace, to get rid of the carpet-bag
thieves, and to enfranchise the white people.
1t is stated that Brownlow is so much
alarmed by this movement that he viii try
to postpone the August elections by declar-
ing martial law.
