We despair of our old friend, the Senator from
Kentucky. Just as we had congratulated our
selves and were about to congratulate the pub
lie on the fact that Mr.. Davis had apparently
learned the great virtue Of silence, he throws
us into despair by again committing himself
to speech. We have for so long enjoyed his
unwonted silence, that we really began to
think he had been accidentally buried in an
avalanche of the Pub. Docs. and Gen. Ref. ac-
cumulated in mountainous heap on his desk
for use on some occasion big with the fate of
the Constitution, and disastrous to public pa
tience But yesterday our Kentucky friend,
hearing from behind his mountain of authori-
ties the introduction of bill to sell an Indian
Reservation, raised his commanding person TO
its full hight and asked in those too familiar
striduous tones, which have so often dispersed
listening Senates, Is there any stealage in the
bill ?" and followed the pleasing query with
the further retOrt to Senator POmerOy's speedy
tender of information, that he must admit If
the honorable Senator did not know of any
stealage in the bill there must be none"
What faith these excellent Senators learn to
repose in the strong points of one another!

grog- sellers among them. One of them, in
deed, is the keeper of an establishment which
is the recognized drinking resort of the black
legs and rougbs who happen to have decent
coat. For the comparatively fair character OF
the Aldermen our best thanks are due to
Messrs. Tweed and Sweeny, by whom they were
in effect appointed. But the selection OF the
Assistant Aldermen was left to the rank and file
of the party. The result is in several ways
suggestive. We advert now only to one. OF
the twenty-on Assistant Aldermen, seven are
lquOr-sellers, and none of these were born In
the United States. We will venture the as
surance that any man. with ten cents III Dis
pocket can get as bad whisky, and at any
hour of the day or night, Sundays included,
from any one of ten of our City Fathers, as
he can procure elsewhere. He could easily In
an bour-proyided he took only one dram at
n place-sample the whisky of full halt
dozen separate Councimen. If any one OF
these will affirm that on last Sunday, the day
before he took his place in the City Council,
his establishment was not practically as open
for business as upon any other day, ana
that he does not intend to keep it open on
every future Sunday, we will gladly publish
the fact. We are quite well aware that grog-
shop is a capital school for learning the du-
ties of a Councilman but while there are so
many other occupations in life, we venture
most respectfully to suggest to the party III
power that it might have been as well not 10

Our latest information from Winnipeg con-
firms the opinion we have held that the Cana
dian authorities were not at the end of their
troubles there. Riel is without doubt prepar-
ing TO resist the expedition now passing through
the Sault st. Marie Canal. The Canadian Gov
eminent may have peaceful intentions, as it
represented, in sending garrison to that coun-
try. but it seems clear that it will not be able

There are rumors of other movements of a
revolutionary character in Italy. The leading
Republicans condemn and oppose these upris-
ings, and the chances of success are small. 1t
does not appear to be the present disposition
of the Italians TO reform the abuses OF Victor
Emanuel's Government as they endeavored to
abolish those of Austrian administration
by revolution. If the uprisings which we have
,soted are accepted as a warning by the Italian
authorities they will not be regretted.

The Princess Editha Montez, who attempted
to lecture the other night at Steinway Hall on
the character of her mother and the equality
of women, attributes her failure entirely to the
bad advice of Mrs. Henry b. Stanton. 1t was
her desire to appear in decent black SILK
dress and talk about Lola Montez, a subject
which she thoroughly understood; but the la
dies of the suffrage party "drOve" her into
the woman question, and that, she as good as
confesses, she does not understand at all.
1.-TWO Of the leading members of Sorosis," one
of whom was Mrs. Stanton and the other
Mrs. P" moreover advised her to don
the gorgeous gown and the masculine hat
which produced such an extraordinary
sensation "and considering their age
and experience" continues the Prin-
cess, al complied with their wishes"
Nay, it was Mrs. Stanton who taught her to
stride up and down the platform, to kick out
her heels, and to swing that cumbrous train to
which she feelingly alluded in her lecture as a
damnatiOn." Alas, the Princess Editha is not
the first woman whom Mrs. Stanton has taught
to kick out her heels, to stride on the plat
FORM to combine the masculine hat with the
sweet prerOgative of a crimson train, to talk of
problems she does not understand, and to load
herself with heavy plantations. The Princess
ought to have known that the first lesson in
female department given by that excellent
lady always is, Wear mans hat, and kick out
YOUR heels.

There is singular difference of opinion be-
tween the Mayor and the newly inaugurated
President of the Board of Aldermen on a grave
question of law. In his address Mr. Conan
called attention to the changes made in NUM-
cipal administration by the late Legislature as
requiring "greater circumspectiOn in exercise
"of our new and enlarged legislative functions"
But Mayor Hall in the third sentence of his
message declares that "by the legislative plan
-" of reorganization the powers of former Com
"mon Councils have been in various respects
limited" and proceeds to so analyze the statute
that it is impossible for the Aldermen not to
see what nonentities they are. The Mayor is
so skillful as lawyer that he easily made it
clear, even to the Aldemanic mind, that the
people now have no voice whatever, either
through representatives or in any other way, in
the management Of their affairs, but are subject
to q government more despotic and irresponsi-
bic than any monarchy. Tammany promised
to restore to the people tho right of local self
government, and has redeemed the pledge by
lodging all power in the hands of score of
men appointed for long terms by q Mayor
who was appointed without the formality of a
popular Endorsement. Tammany has thus
made manifest the hypocrisy of its professions
When the Sachems next come forward with
the honeyed words of promise, it is possible that
their past performance will BIO remembered
The Aldermen are mere dummies the real
government of this city is in the 4ands of Mr.
Tweed and his immediate friends.

The Senate still hestates to curtail its speech
The rule by which it is proposed to make the
"previOus question" operative for the closing
of noisy or prosy debates, as in the House, has
been twice discussed, and is not yet adopted,
as we hope to see it. Senatorial dignity, pride,
and prejudice are all against it the public
interest ia for it. Thus far the latter has had
HE worst of it, and we see no immediate pros
,eet of a change.

The Alabama Claims -Prospects o'
senator az Ames.
WASHINGTON March 22.-cyrus '"
Field, now here, has submitted to Senator
Sumner proposition for the settlement
of the Alabama claims. He proposes
that the United States shall name three
eminent persons crowned heads) as ar
bitrators, from whom Great Britain shall
select one and his decision of the case
shall be final and binding upon both
parties. Mr.. Field had long confer
ence with Mr.. Sumner yesterday on the
subject, but the latter does not favor the
proposition.
1t is the opinion of prominent Senators
that General Ames will be admitted to
his seat in Congress. This is also the
view of members of the Judiciary Com
mittee. The points of controversy are;
First-Can an officer in service elect his
own residence. Second-lf so, did
General Ames so elect. The debate will
occupy some time, but Ames' friends are
not anxious as to the result.

prcoNsTRuCTION- MILITARY
RULE IN TENNESSEE-

Let us have some sense. Inc supJu-
eating Of Tennessee to military rule is
certainly bad enough. No sufficient ex-
cuse can be given for such wrong to the
people of the State. But let us not
make bad worse. 1t will be no cause for
commercial panic, nor for stoppage OF
work or business in the city or in the
country. 1t need not have any effect to
raise or depress the price of goods or
cotton. Still, all this unnecessary mis-
chief may be done If people choose to
ret into a foolish terro' or frantic with
madness, and get up a grand smash
smashing themselves. That is the way
of hysterical women, not of sensible ana
balanced men.
The truth is, the people of the South
are an orderly, law-abiding people, and
scarcely need the restraints of the 'ov-
eminent to cause them TO live In peace
and forbearance with each other. This
was shown during the war, when the rule
of law was almost entirely suspended.
II has been shown since the war ended.
No people on earth have ever gone
through such an overwhelming moral,
social and political CONFUSION as have
the people of the South, and so easily
and universally subsidized into quiet and
cheerful obedience to the law and Gov
eminent.
What is called the reconstruction of
Tennessee is scarcely probable to he
carried into execution. The most rea-
sonable conjecture as to the design of
the movement at Washington is that it is
a bugbear, got up to operate upon the
pending elections in the State. After
the elections are over the project will
be dropped, and the panic will subside.
1t is the work of the men who hold office
or want to get into office.
At any rate, let us have a little sense
here at Memphis. For many years we
have been doing great deal to destroy
the prosperity of the city; and we would
have killed it entirely if it had not had
more lives than a cat is said to have.
Blow after blow has been struck at its
life, which would have put an end to the
existence of almost any
other city on the continent But nature
has done so much for us, has bent its
will to make it great place, and thus
far we have been unable to altogether
prevent il. We may, however, strike one
blow too many. Lei rs have sensel
