FROM PRUSSIA
The Star of Bismarck Declining.


New YORK, Nov. 21.-An apparently
well-infermed London correspondent, in
a letter regarding the approaching general
war and the causes which lead to il, states
that the influence Of Bismarck in the
councils of Prussia has greatly declined
He attributes it to this reason, that peace
was not made Immediately after the fall
of Sedan. Bismarck desired earnestly to
end the war then, but the King and
princes were obstinately bent on capturing
Paris.

of 1856, and all are equally aggrieved at
Russia's violation thereof, but will not
even write collective note demonstrating
against the violation. France is power

declares that she will not join any diplo-

gained the object of her former alliance
with France and England. There re-
mains Austria She will address a note to
Russia, but not threaten war. In 1867
Count Beust himself proposed the abolition

sovereignty in the Black Sea. He is now
quite willing, even anxious, to make q

THE CONGREGATIONAL ELECTION.

We give elsewhere the returns from
this Congressional district, showing the
votes received by the several candidates.
The result develops the fact that the
Democratic party needs more thorough
organization and discipline In the future
to insure it against division and dissen-
sion. The fact is, also, established by
the popular vote that a large majority of
the people of the district favor the con-
vention system as the only one that can
secure united vote to defeat the schemes
of the Radical party 10 hold on to the
power that has oppressed us so long.
There are hundreds and hubdreds in the
county who have heretofore opposed them,
upon various grounds, as unnecessary,
who are now its warmest supporters. Ad-
hitting that they have been occasionally
abused, in one way or other, they see
now that every objection to them can be
removed by the people coming forward
and controlling them for themselves.
Then they are in fact bus another means
of carrying out the wishes Of the people,
and to this no one can object. We all
believe ia the representation of the will
of the people, and that when it is fairly
expressed, 1t results in union and success,
while the contrary is disagreement and
defeat. in union there is strength; in
disorder and division the very reverse.
Our people are learning wisdom, and we
hope, hereafter. that cur ranks viii be
unbrOken. -G0llQtiR Examiner.

FROM SUMNER.

The majority for Senator Of Mr.. J.
Howard Young, Of Smith county, over
Capt, F. NJ. Duffy, is only fifteen. The
member elect is gentleman of fine
character in his county, s solid, plain,
practical man, aud win make a useful
representative.
The majority or Capt. Geo. B. Guild,
for Floater, IS $50. For the information
of our former residents of Sumner who
receive the Examiner, we would stat3
that he is the eldest son of Judge John
G. Guild, and u practising lawyer at this
bar, and we hazard nothing in predicting
for him a successful career as a legislator.
Our young and talented friend, julius
A. Trousdale, is the Representative elect
from this county, to the Lower House of
the next General Assembly. He served
with credit in the late civil stIife, and re.
ceived severe wound in laboring for the
liberty of the South. He graduated with
distinction at the Lebanon Law School,
and had Just begun to practice his pro
fessiOn when, at The urgent request of his
many friends he consented to make the
race for the Office to which he has been
elected. A better selection could not have
been made, and we believe that he viii
reflect credit both upon himself and
his constituents in his new sphere
of action. He is the worthy son
of still more illustrious sire, ex-Gover-
nor Trousdale, whose spotless name is
familiar 10 every one.-GaLLGtip E.conli-
